Defense Star XXIX Main Base!
Battleships filled with the stench of blood flew over from afar and slowly approached the main base.
The warriors who stayed behind in the base were immediately alarmed and looked up at the sky.
"They're back!"
"Are General Mokalén and the others back?"
"I wonder what the result was?"
…
Everyone was looking forward to it. They kept discussing below, but they were also nervous.
Because the humans were the ones who initiated the attack this time, many people were pessimistic and thought that they might be defeated.
Of course, there were also those who wanted to fight who thought that they should take the initiative and not be passive all the time. They had been suppressed by the dark apparitions for too long, and it was time to counterattack.
The battleships paused in the sky for a moment, as if they were contacting the AI system of the main base and confirming their identities. Then, they were allowed to pass.
All the battleships entered the main base one after another. When they were close, many people could see that the battleships were covered in blood and traces of damage left by the origin power bombardment. It was obvious that the battle was fierce.
However, the number of battleships wasn't much less than when they set off.
This meant that the losses in this battle weren't that great.
Many people had already guessed something, and their faces were filled with surprise.
The battleships landed one after another on the helipad, and a mighty group of warriors walked down from them. The leader was General Mokalén and the others.
"General Mokalén, welcome back in triumph!" The leaders of the region masters welcomed him.
They had already received the news.
This battle was a great victory!
"Hahaha." General Mokalén's serious face couldn't contain his smile. He laughed loudly.
Seeing this scene, the warriors around knew what the result was. Their eyes were filled with surprise.
The region master generals who stayed behind glanced around and saw General Qi Yuanju and the others behind General Mokalén. They were all envious and jealous.
What a great contribution!
Why didn't they get a share?
It was impossible not to be envious of such a great contribution. Unfortunately, it was their choice to stay behind in the main base.
Yes, General Mokalén had given them a chance back then, but some people didn't think that this battle would be a good one, so they chose to stay.
On the other hand, General Qi Yuanju and the others had followed General Mokalén into battle without hesitation, so they deserved the credit.
Seeing their reactions, General Qi Yuanju and the others couldn't help but feel pleased.
These generals were not in the same camp as them, so they had often rejected their decisions. Now, these people had finally suffered a great loss.
Let's see if they will cry this time.
"General Tian, is the main base alright?" General Mokalén walked up and asked.
"Don't worry, General Mokalén. Everything is fine at the main base. There were no accidents," General Tian Boming said.
"That's good." General Mokalén heaved a sigh of relief.
This time, the main force went out to battle, and only a small portion of martial artists stayed behind to guard the main base. If the dark apparitions took this opportunity to attack, the main base might very well be wiped out.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
"General Mokalén, let's get our men ready. Tonight, let's celebrate everyone's triumphant return!" Tian Boming said with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry to celebrate. Many soldiers are injured. Let them recuperate first. If you want to celebrate, let's celebrate together." General Mokalén waved his hand.
"Look at my head. It's only right. It's only right." Tian Boming patted his head and hurriedly said.
"Also, I still have to make a post-battle report to the headquarters. I'm afraid I won't be free for the next two days!" General Mokalén said.
Tian Boming got snubbed, and his face was full of embarrassment.
The generals beside him couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. This Tian Boming was trying to curry favor with General Mokalén after seeing him return victorious. Unfortunately, General Mokalén didn't fall for his tricks at all.
Moreover, he was too anxious. The most important thing now was naturally to make a post-battle report and give out rewards based on contributions. Who had the time to play these unpresentable games with him?
General Mokalén didn't say anything else. He let General Qi Yuanju and the others lead the soldiers back to recuperate. Some of the seriously injured were sent to the infirmary for treatment.
General Mokalén placed great importance on this. He had to ensure that every injured soldier received the best treatment.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
Wang Teng was dragged to be a nurse again. After all, he had the Light Healing Technique, which was very effective in treating injuries left behind by dark apparitions.
Fortunately, it wasn't without its disadvantages. At least he gained another wave of reputation and favorability.
If these warriors and soldiers were shocked and respectful when they learned of Wang Teng's great achievements, then now, their respect was mixed with affection and love.
As a high-ranking general, it was even foreseeable that he would be promoted soon. He had a bright future ahead of him. He was from a completely different world from ordinary warriors like them.
However, he wasn't arrogant at all. He personally treated their injuries and even joked around with them sometimes. It was impossible to tell that this young man was a prodigy with extraordinary talent.
How could such a person not be respected and loved by the masses?
…
The Qian Empire's Emperor Star was in a state of turmoil!
News from Defense Star XXIX spread. Many of the Empire's higher-ups were shocked and alarmed. They sent out their own intelligence personnel to investigate the authenticity of the news.
The final result was that Defense Star XXIX had indeed ushered in a great victory. They might even be able to reclaim it completely soon.
Shock!
Countless people were shocked!
On Emperor Star, a huge military fortress occupied the northwest continent. Its area was even larger than the Empire's capital.
Countless heavy origin power weapons were set up on the fortress. There were even some warships hovering in the sky. They surrounded the place tightly.
Occasionally, some powerful warrior squads would pass by. They were patrolling, and any movement in the surroundings would attract their attention.
All of this caused the fortress to emit a murderous and cold aura.
This was a forbidden area!
In the entire Emperor Star, this military fortress was ranked second. No one dared to be presumptuous here.
And the first was … the Imperial Palace!
This was the Empire's military headquarters. It was a place that everyone revered like a tiger and yearned for infinitely.
This was because any general who could enter the military headquarters represented a great honor!
The Qian Empire treated the military very well.
This was exchanged with the blood and lives of many military warriors. If it weren't for the large number of military warriors fighting in the various defense stars and blocking the dark apparitions at the frontlines, the people in the rear wouldn't be able to live such a peaceful life.
Plus, they controlled a large number of soldiers and high-end combat power. No one dared to go against the military.
In short, the military's sacred dignity was inviolable. No one dared to disrespect the military.
At this moment, in a hall of this military fortress, many shadows suddenly appeared.
They weren't real people. They were just projections. However, they were so real that no one could tell the difference.
None of these silhouettes opened their mouths. They all sat down quietly.
"Everyone, what do you think about Defense Star XXIX?" A calm voice sounded in the hall.
However, it didn't come from anyone present. This voice seemed to have appeared out of thin air and came from another dimension.
The people present didn't find it strange. Their expressions were very calm. However, after hearing this, they couldn't help but frown. They seemed to be thinking about how to answer.
"Did the other defense stars find anything unusual?" The voice from before asked again.
"Not really," a middle-aged man said. A middle-aged man said. From his military uniform, it was obvious that he was a general.
"The battle of Defense Star XXIX this time is very unusual," someone said. This was also a general.
"Yes, it's very unusual."
Everyone keenly sensed something and nodded in agreement.
"But it was discovered by our people. They even won the battle. How surprising." Someone laughed.
Everyone looked at the general with a meaningful look.
Everyone knew that the general who led Defense Star XXIX to victory was from this general's camp.
Everyone had a tacit understanding. No one would interfere in this matter.
This was because this battle was indeed beautiful. They also discovered the dark apparitions' scheme. This was a great achievement. No one could find any fault with it.
Although there were many factions in the military, they were still very united when facing an external enemy. Otherwise, the military wouldn't have developed to its current state.
Moreover, if the military was really an iron bucket, even the royal family of the Qian Empire wouldn't be at ease!
As long as there were benefits, there would be conflicts. This had never changed since ancient times.
Speaking of which, after everyone heard the general's words, someone said, "That's right. Being able to discover the dark apparitions' plans in advance isn't something normal people can do. At least, I've never heard of such a thing in my many years in the military."
Dark apparitions and humans were completely different races. The difference was too great. Humans couldn't blend into the dark apparitions. Naturally, they couldn't know their plans.
Therefore, humans had always been passive.
This time, however, he had taken the initiative. It could not be said that this was a huge breakthrough.
"Oh, it was that little guy called Wang Teng who discovered it!" The calm voice was surprised. "He's only a Stellar-level warrior, but he can use an attack that's extremely damaging to a sector lord. Interesting!"
It wasn't hard to tell from his words that the person who spoke was extremely interested in Wang Teng.
Wang Teng's performance on the battlefield had all been reported here. Therefore, all the generals present now knew about Wang Teng's monstrous battle results.
Many people had strange looks. Even strong people like them couldn't help but exclaim.
This was really monstrous!
Even when they were young, they couldn't do this.
"I remember this little guy doesn't seem to be on good terms with the Pyrax family. He even caused a ruckus in the Imperial Capital. Many people know about it." Someone laughed.
"Back then, Wang Teng's strength didn't seem to have reached this level. At most, he could injure a sector lord. However, this time, he can injure a sector lord. Looks like he's become a lot stronger during his time on Defense Star XXIX," someone analyzed.
"Hiss … such talent is hard to come by even in ten thousand years!" Someone gasped.
"Hahaha, the Pyrax family is probably anxious now," someone gloated.
Everyone present, regardless of status or personal strength, couldn't be underestimated. No one was afraid of the Pyrax family.
Therefore, many people couldn't help but laugh. It was as if they had already expected a good show to watch.
"Before he grows up, we still have to protect this little guy. Now that he's a member of the military, we can't let anything happen to such a talented prodigy," someone said.
"That's right. Since he's a member of the military, we can't let others harm him."
"Humph, let's see who dares."
…
Suddenly, all the generals present switched into "protective" mode. They looked like they didn't care about anyone else. It was as if they weren't afraid of anyone who provoked them.
"Right, that little guy seems to be participating in the Empire's Genius Tournament. Looks like our military will have to show off this time."
"That's a good thing. It can boost our military's morale. When the time comes, many prodigies will probably be unable to resist joining us."
"I didn't think that we'd get such a good deal without doing anything."
"No matter what, Wang Teng has made such a great contribution this time. We can't be short of rewards. I heard that he's already a colonel, so it's not suitable for him to be promoted anymore. However, we can give him the Pillar of the Nation Medal in advance."
"The Pillar of the Nation Medal, huh? With his contribution, he's definitely qualified to be awarded the Pillar of the Nation Medal. I have no objections!"
"I agree too!"
"Mm, this is a form of protection for him. We can give it to him!"
…
With just a few words, they gave this supreme honor to Wang Teng. Outsiders probably wouldn't have thought of it.
The Pillar of the Nation Medal was something that only a few people in the entire Qian Empire received. They actually gave it to a young Stellar-level warrior just like that.
If Wang Teng hadn't made such a great contribution, this would have been a point of criticism.
"Alright, let's stop talking about rewards. I have something more important to tell you," said the calm voice from before.
Everyone fell silent.
"Everyone, when you go back, you must investigate the situation on every defensive planet. Even the Demon Egg has appeared. I have a feeling that the dark apparitions' actions this time are definitely not coincidental," continued the voice.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and their expressions instantly became serious.
What this figure said was what they had guessed from the start. After fighting the dark apparitions for so many years, if they didn't even have this bit of vigilance, they would have died long ago. They wouldn't have been able to reach such a high position.
"We understand!" Everyone quickly responded.
"Then, let's disperse. If anything happens, report it immediately."
As soon as the voice finished speaking, the voice didn't appear again, and the entire hall returned to silence.
Then, those figures slowly disappeared. In a moment, the chairs in the hall were empty, as if no one had ever been here.
…
In the Imperial Capital, inside a magnificent hall, a young man was sitting cross-legged and cultivating. Strands of golden Force light gathered into his body, causing his aura to slowly strengthen.
Such a cultivation speed meant that this young man's talent was definitely not weak. At the same time, the cultivation method he cultivated was definitely top-notch.
No matter which point it was, it wasn't something that an ordinary person could have.
This young man's black hair was spread out, and he looked handsome. There was a sense of nobility between his brows as if he was born with a noble bloodline. His temperament was very refined.
He didn't know how long he had been cultivating for. He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp golden light flashed past.
"Come in!"
A calm voice with a hint of coldness came from his mouth.
It was very quiet outside the hall. After this voice sounded, footsteps could be heard.
A figure walked in quickly. If Wang Teng was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Lu Qing, who had redeemed Swett from him back then.
The disciple of the Third Prince!
"Your Highness!" Lu Qing walked quickly into the hall and bowed respectfully to the young man.
It was obvious that this young man was the Third Prince of the Qian Empire!
"What made you so nervous?" The Third Prince asked calmly.
"Your Highness, this is the report from below. Please take a look." Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then handed a report to the Third Prince.
"Oh?" The Third Prince glanced at him and opened the report. After skimming through it, he couldn't help but frown.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
Seeing the Third Prince like this, Lu Qing knew that he must be in a bad mood. He … was angry.
Lu Qing stood to the side in fear, not daring to speak. His heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down.
He didn't expect Wang Teng to do such a huge thing and make such a huge contribution to the country.
Previously, when he first met Wang Teng at Defense Star XXIX, he only thought that Wang Teng was very arrogant and didn't even take the Third Prince seriously.
He was very disdainful of this. How long could a person who offended the Third Prince, even if he had some talent?
But now …
Not only was the other party still jumping around, but he was jumping around happily.
Even if the Third Prince wanted to touch him now, it wouldn't be so easy.
"He's a bit lucky," the Third Prince said calmly.
"Your Highness is right. Wang Teng is just a Stellar-level warrior. He must have had some dumb luck to be able to do this. Maybe the generals of Defense Star XXIX are covering for him. Otherwise, how could he make such a great contribution?" Lu Qing agreed.
"Since he can make such a contribution, it means that Wang Teng will soon be recognized by the generals. The next time I see him, I can give him another chance to surrender," the Third Prince said.
Lu Qing was shocked. The Third Prince still wanted to recruit Wang Teng? However, with Wang Teng's character, he probably wouldn't agree to the Third Prince's wishes. Various thoughts flashed through Lu Qing's mind, but he quickly said, "It's his greatest fortune to be able to gain Your Highness' favor."
"You may leave. Continue to keep an eye on him." The Third Prince closed his eyes.
Lu Qing didn't say anything else and quickly bowed and left.
The Third Prince opened his eyes again, and a hint of gloominess flashed in his eyes. The report in his hand was wrapped in a ball of golden light, turned into dust, and disappeared.
…
In a back garden, a tall figure dressed in a long white robe was bent over, holding a water bottle in his hand, watering the exotic flowers and plants in the garden.
This was also a young man with a handsome appearance, somewhat similar to the Third Prince. He was also indescribably noble, but his temperament was unusually gentle, not as cold and unruly as the Third Prince.
A young woman with a pretty face stood behind him. Her eyebrows were light, like a proud white swan.
She was dressed in a long purple dress, which vividly set off her exquisite figure. Her entire body exuded an irresistible charm, and any man who saw her would be attracted to her.
"Your Highness the Second Prince!" A vigorous figure walked in from outside.
"Jingtian, what's the hurry?" The young man was the Second Prince. He looked back at Zhou Jingtian with a smile on his face and asked.
"Zhou Jingtian, show some respect in front of His Highness the Second Prince." The woman frowned and said coldly.
"It's fine!" The Second Prince waved his hand.
"Hehe." Zhou Jingtian laughed and looked at the woman proudly. He then handed a report to the Second Prince and said, "Your Highness, quickly take a look. This is the news about Baron Wang Teng that you asked me to keep an eye on."
"Seems like there's some big news." The Second Prince handed the water bottle in his hand to the woman. He took the report and read it with interest.
The more he read, the more the smile on his face disappeared. He was shocked.
"Is it the Wang Teng that rejected the Second Prince's invitation?" The woman's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure as she asked.
"That's him." Zhou Jingtian nodded.
He was curious to see what this arrogant woman's expression would be after she found out about Wang Teng's achievements.
When she found out that Wang Teng had rejected the Second Prince's invitation, she had a very bad impression of Wang Teng.
Zhou Jingtian was harboring evil intentions.
"Hmph, it's just a Baron. Is there a need to alarm the Second Prince?" The woman snorted.
"Qing Yi, you've made a mistake this time." The Second Prince shook his head and said with a sigh.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Lin Qing Yi asked in surprise.
"You should take a look too." The Second Prince sat down at a stone table in the garden and handed the report in his hand to Lin Qing Yi.
Lin Qing Yi was confused. She scanned the contents of the report and the expression on her face froze.
"This … is impossible?" After a while, she said in disbelief.
"It's just a matter of fact." Zhou Jingtian chuckled.
He had a good chat with Wang Teng previously. So, when he saw that Wang Teng had made such a great contribution, he was shocked and happy at the same time.
When he saw Lin Qing Yi's shocked and stunned expression, he felt a sense of satisfaction from successfully pulling a prank on her.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Lin Qing Yi glared at him.
"Hahaha." Zhou Jingtian could not help but laugh.
"Alright, alright." The Second Prince smiled and waved his hand. He said regretfully, "This Wang Teng is really surprising. It's a pity that I didn't bet enough on him and missed out on a talent."
"Your Highness, you think too highly of him. What is your status and what is his status? Even if he did make some contributions, it's not worth it for you to do this," Lin Qing Yi said hurriedly.
Zhou Jingtian opened his mouth but did not say anything. To a prince, Wang Teng's status was indeed very low. Unless he could become an immortal rank expert, he would at most be a talent.
And there were many talents in this world.
