Chapter 1458: Chapter 102: The Girl’s Sentiments

Twelve hours after Li Changhe and his team set off, the remnants of the "End of the God War" fleet arrived at the Kunlun Giant City.

This fleet was mostly comprised of soldiers and officers from former EU member states, maintaining a good relationship with their allied fleet "God’s Mercy."

As a result, however, their main fleet was backstabbed by the already corrupted "God’s Mercy," suffering appalling losses.

Of the four main ships, only one damaged and one crippled remained. The fleet’s top brass was nearly all eradicated in a decapitation strike.

And the only captain remaining was none other than Red Fist Arthur, who was recuperating in the Bottom Nest city of the Kunlun Giant City, and also a figure of this world.

As a result, with their arrival, the Kunlun Giant City showed even greater respect towards Red Fist Arthur, going all out in aiding and repairing the fleet. A vast number of guards were recruited into their ranks.

And Red Fist Arthur began to command the fleet using the memories of that captain.

Through the fusion earring, he gained control of a main fleet. At the same time, his strength surged, able to kill a Demigod Projection with ten punches.

Suddenly, he became the most worthwhile player to win over.

Especially for player organizations led by Black Palace and Round Table, in order not to be restricted by other top powers, they extended an olive branch to Red Fist Arthur.

And in this Task, the strength of both Great Wall and Winter Palace was powerful. The fifth, sixth, and seventh Devil Kings congregated, all having a poor relationship with them. Or rather, those titled Devil Kings all had a poor relationship with them. After all, the Title of Devil King was concocted by themselves.

Now, with Red Fist Arthur’s fleet, they also had some confidence.

Simultaneously, Red Fist Arthur also received assistance from various official channels, supporting each other.

Combined with the Title "Hero," he was able to move freely within the Kunlun Giant City.

But the situation for the few Great Wall players who were still in Kunlun Giant City wasn’t good at all.

Previous war defeats were being blamed entirely on Yang Dong. Even though it was him who executed the decapitation strike against the Celestial, it was misinterpreted by some as rash and overambitious. If Yang Dong woke up, maybe he could restrain Black Palace and Round Table, but now....

...

"Can’t they see that the timing of Red Fist Arthur’s intervention was just too coincidental?" ranted Dingdang Cat while holding a bowl of noodles in a temporary campsite in the wilderness: "Red Fist was clearly hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He watched human forces and players fight to the death, yet he still dares to claim the title of hero?"

"To those people, the process doesn’t matter; only results do," replied He Feng beside her: "Moreover, with Black Palace and Round Table stirring things up, they’d surely play their little games. Plus, Red Fist’s current identity as the only captain of the End of the God War makes him naturally welcome in Kunlun Giant City. The giant city needs the fleet’s power and also needs an inspiring victory. Red Fist fits these two needs."

"The general also killed a Demigod," Dingdang Cat frowned: "Isn’t that more impressive than the Projections Red Fist killed? Whether it’s the general blocking the Heavenly Gate alone or killing a Demigod with an arrow, he’s much stronger than Red Fist."

"That’s true, but... that’s what we players know; for the giant city, it’s all just rumors," responded Chen Yu: "Even if Li Changhe killed a Demigod with one arrow, to the Kunlun Giant City’s higher-ups, it isn’t as shocking as Red Fist killing a Demigod Projection in front of them. It was Tianyan Association’s funding that gave Red Fist these two conditions, earning him fame and power. And both Black Palace and Round Table are betting on Red Fist. Once we arrive at Kunlun Giant City, we need to be wary of their schemes."

"No worries, once we get there, they won’t dare to act rashly," replied Rainflower Splash: "Whether it’s Black Palace or Round Table, they’ll act meekly in front of Li Ba."

At that moment, twelve hours after embarking, Li Changhe’s group arrived at a temporary campsite marked by a messenger squad for rest and repairs.

The journey was not easy, as the route was dominated by territories occupied by Different Race forces.

To avoid exposing their identities, the team had to detour around the Different Race’s active areas.

This gave the group significant movement difficulties. If they continued to approach the Kunlun Giant City at that speed, it could take a week to arrive.

Fortunately, within Li Changhe’s Netherworld reins, there still remained the soul of a second mount.

That was the Giant Crocodile Mountain God, capable of Earth Sinking Technique. Though unable to fly, it possessed the ability to burrow deep into the ground.

With everyone swallowed by the Giant Crocodile, it dove underground with them in its mouth, advancing beneath the surface.

The drawback was, its large size and slow speed; while transporting people with earth magic, it could only travel fifty kilometers per hour at full effort.

And its physical strength wasn’t unlimited; leading a group of people with terrain magic consumed a significant amount of energy, requiring intervals between summons.

Li Changhe could only use it at critical spots, guiding everyone to sneak underground through the Different Race’s activity range. It, at least, somewhat shortened their travel time.

In the camp, after everyone had feasted and rested for a while, they boarded their armored vehicles and set off again.

There wasn’t time for prolonged rest or recovery; they made do with resting on the vehicle.

And as they had neared the highland region, the temperature had dropped significantly.

People would exhale white breath as they talked.

Inside the vehicle, Chen Yu was wrapped in a thick coat, feeling the sway of the vehicle and listening to the chitchat and banter between Li Changhe and He Feng in the driver and passenger seats.

Even after drinking plenty of coffee to stay alert, she didn’t know when she had drifted off to sleep.

Even high-energy individuals could get exhausted.

And in the dream, cursed with Pleasure, she saw again the scene she had dreamt before.

It was something that would never happen.

The man she secretly loved was embracing her, kissing her.

Feeling the warmth of his breath gently caressing her neck, followed by a moist touch.

Feeling his strong arms wrap around her lower back, slowly sliding down.

Feeling his distinctly jointed hand resting on her chest, wantonly kneading...

"Master of Pleasure... really is... damn it!" Chen Yu murmured.

She knew she had fallen asleep again, that she needed to wake up from this dream quickly.

Right now, she was still in the vehicle, and it would be bad if she showed any embarrassing behavior...

Subsequently, the Nightmare Sequence initiated, forcefully waking her from the dream.

The dream shattered, and Chen Yu slowly opened her eyes, only to see Li Changhe’s face.

This left Chen Yu somewhat bewildered for a moment. Had her dream not yet broken? Or had the curse’s effect intensified?

Li Changhe, sitting beside her, looked at her with a helpless expression and said, "What kind of nightmare did you have? You’ve hit me several times already!"

During his turn to rest, he had come back to the rear seat hoping to rest, but Chen Yu, who was lying next to him, had flailed and struck him several times.

Confirming she was back in reality, Chen Yu sat up and responded, "My apologies... and, I didn’t say anything in my sleep, did I?"

"You didn’t talk in your sleep." Li Changhe asked with some curiosity, "What did you dream about? Your face is all red."

"Don’t mind it, it’s just the heat!"

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief inside.

She was well aware of how despicable and shameless she was, falling for a man she shouldn’t have.

So, she hid all her hidden feelings.

And believed that maintaining the status quo was just fine...
