Chapter 641: 638, Raid on ‘World’s Third’_1
Langqi fixed his gaze on the screen only to discover that Su Yu and his three companions were about to meet with Prime Minister Cao Cao at longitude 83° east and latitude 29° north.
The three nearest spring eyes to this location were “No. 1096”, “No. 1097”, and “No. 1102”, all of which were small spring eyes.
“This doesn’t seem right,” Langqi muttered suspiciously. There was something odd about the situation.
The most likely targets for Su Yu and his companions and Prime Minister Cao Cao should be big spring eyes. If their aim is only to seize small spring eyes, it doesn’t make sense to gather together.
However, their meeting point was far from the large spring eyes…Could it be their target isn’t the large spring eyes?
“Well, never mind.”
No matter where the target of the Blue Star monks was, the first thing he had to do was to order his expeditionary army to arrange the defenses.
So, Langqi hastily issued orders to various spring eyes located on Blue Star: “Currently, Cao Cao and Su Yu and four others, the strongest monks on Blue Star, are converging. All units, be prepared for defense!”
Upon receiving the order, the various Skuru bases near the Himalayan mountain range immediately went on high alert.
They had been on high alert for a while.
In each of their bases, they had an information panel that could display the moving direction of the Blue Star monks, like Langqi. So, many bases had noticed the union of Su Yu and others before the order was issued by Langqi.
So they had all synchronized to the highest level of combat readiness.
…
Just as Langqi’s order was issued, he received a communication request from Jennifer.
He accepted the communication request and a solemn voice from Jennifer sounded through the communication device:
“Sir Langqi, I believe the most likely target for the Blue Star monks is the 0076 large base, and … that’s where your brother is stationed. Please arrange for assistance in time!”
“What? The 0076 base?!” Langqi was taken aback.
However, in the blink of an eye, he immediately realized why it was 0076, and not another base.
…
This has to be related to Skuru’s high-ranking warrior defense scheduling:
There are a total of 35 Skuru warriors at the seventh level or above participating in this “Defense Battle of the Himalayas”, including 3 at the eighth level and 32 at the seventh level.
The entire Skuru people had only a total of 7 at the eight level and 81 at the seventh level, so many high-ranking warriors constituted almost half of the power of the Skuru people.
These 35 High-Ranking warriors were divided into 7 teams. Each of the three eighth-level god level warriors made up a team, and every eight seventh-level legendary level warriors made up a team as well.
The seven teams moved continuously through the space cracks. If Blue Star monks were attacking a small spring eye, one of these seven teams would interrupt the Blue Star monks’ occupancy.
When Prime Minister Cao Cao and Su Yu and his companions saw Skuru reinforcements, they would immediately turn around and leave, thus successfully delaying the progress of Blue Star’s occupation.
However, due to the “cooling time” of 3 hours of space cracks, they could not endlessly interrupt the occupation of Blue Star monks, and a total of 31 small spring eyes were lost overnight.
But the issue now was that there was a problem with the scheduling of these 7 teams.
As of now, there were teams stationed at 4 of the 5 large spring eyes; due to scheduling issues, 0076 large base had its stationed team removed, thus there wasn’t a team stationed there at present.
If Blue Star monks started attacking the 0076 base, it would be too late to dispatch a team to assist them even if it was done right now!
…
Of course, what left Langqi in shock was not that the 0076 base was about to be lost. It was just another large base. What was the problem with losing it? He even found these larger bases hard to defend.
But the problem was that his own older brother, Lan Bo, was at this base! If the Blue Star monks kill his brother by accident, then…
He could hardly bear to let his mind wander down that path.
…
Langqi quickly glanced at the screen. Currently, the four individuals, Su Yu and his group, had just converged with Prime Minister Cao Cao on the screen. Their distance to the 0076 base was about 360 kilometers.
Langqi roughly calculated in his head—the flying speed of Su Yu and his three companions was 3.3 Mach, or 4000 kilometers/hour.
By this calculation, they will reach where his brother is in 5 and a half minutes!
But with this thought, he discarded his position as the commander in chief.
Langqi quickly used the communication device to dial his brother Lan Bo’s number.
A few seconds later, a voice that sounded like two rusted pieces of metal rubbing against each other, came from the other end of the line. It was his brother, asking, “Hello, Langqi, cough cough. What is it?”
Lan Bo, after being caught having an affair with the Noble Imperial Concubine, had indeed been maltreated in recent days. His body was covered with countless wounds, large and small, and his throat had also been cut by sharp shards of metal.
Had it not been for his family and Langqi, he might have been secretly executed by the Emperor a long time ago.
Hearing his brother’s voice, which was so unlike his usual self, Langqi felt a pain in his heart.
However, he hurriedly spoke: “Brother, I just asked you to stay on a spaceship that is about to take off. Are you on it yet?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then listen carefully to me and start the spaceship immediately and return to our mother star at the fastest speed!”
“But… ”
“No buts! In five and a half minutes, the Blue Star people will be at your spring eye. By then, you will die there!”
“But…” Lan Bo, wearing a tattered prison uniform, raised his head to look at the silver-white teleportation array in the sky and at Su Yu and others inside the teleportation array. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “But the people from Blue Star are already here. It’s too late to run now!”
“What did you say?!”
Langqi hurriedly looked at the screen, only to find that the five lights on the screen had disappeared, and now, they had already appeared at the 0076 base!
“This…” Langqi slumped in his chair, his mind a complete blank.
He had not taken into account that Su Yu would use teleportation.
Of course, in terms of rapid assault tactics, what is faster than teleportation?
Now, Su Yu and the other four people had arrived at the 0076 base, and Langqi couldn’t possibly dispatch a team to rescue them. (Dispatching a team would result in a two-to-one situation, giving them an advantage.)
In other words, there was no way for him to save his brother.
…
The scene shifted back to Blue Star.
Su Yu used [Teleportation Circle] and instantly brought Prime Minister Cao Cao and the other 3 to the sky above base 0076.
The 0076 base was situated on top of the third highest peak in the world – Gancheng Zhangjia Peak. Therefore, it was nicknamed “The Third” by the monks on the Blue Star as it was simple and easy to remember.
The plan to attack this large spring eye was formulated by Prime Minister Cao Cao.
He keenly found that the defensive pattern arranged by the Skuru people had a gap. As long as he formed an alliance with Su Yu and his companions, they could take over this large spring eye with minimal effort.
Obviously, Su Yu and his companions cooperated with Cao Cao’s plan.
The reason Su Yu used Transference Circle was mainly that the speed of attack had to be fast in a surprise attack, allowing no reaction time for the Skuru people.
Although teleporting over 360 kilometers with a peak 8th-level, two initial 7th-level, and one 6th-level individuals consumed 40% of the magical power in his body,
But who cares.
As long as they arrived, this spring eye would be easily occupied by Prime Minister Cao Cao and his companions, without the need for him to make a move.
