Chapter 520: All Tactical Jumping Aids!
The newly appointed Lie E immediately took command of the fleet and faithfully executed the Supreme Council’s orders: to completely shatter humanity’s will to resist, with minimal losses, negligible damage to Earth, and full preservation of minerals and resources.
To be fair, this seemed perfectly logical.
Preserving Earth’s mineral wealth and resources while minimizing energy expenditure—this nearly self-contradictory decree clearly stemmed from the Elder Elders of the Supreme Council and the entire Devourer Empire.
The Extreme Enlargement nearly elevated the elves’ power by an entire tier, and even though it was brief, it was more than enough to threaten Su Qian, who remained in his Bear Disciple form.
“So I conclude that if elves still exist in this world, they must be hiding somewhere humans cannot reach. The most likely place is inside the World Tree—or beneath the earth itself,” Su Qian declared firmly, stomping his foot hard.
The other refugees in the camp had not yet risen from their dormitories; several elderly women, already up early, gathered together, each carrying their tools, and slowly left the camp as morning dew still clung to the ground.
Zhang Tianyuan rubbed his chin. The theory wasn’t wrong—but it wasn’t complete.
According to Zhang Jinyan’s plan, at midnight, under the pretense of a sudden serious illness or death in their families, the two households would separately head toward two different city gates.
The New Army cavalry, despite their enhancements, still suffered casualties at roughly a 1:3 ratio compared to the Rebel Army.
Afterwards, with the aid of the Mutual Aid Society, they would complete the renovation of the shelter facilities and the relocation of civilians before October.
Dawn was breaking, and I watched the village chief’s house—still utterly silent. I clenched my teeth, stamped my foot. Why not just go inside? Then I’d know everything. I weighed the idea, but couldn’t bring myself to act.
Yuan Xuan didn’t speak. He just kept watching Feng Lingxi. When beads of sweat formed on her brow, he gently wiped them away; after doing so, he continued watching.
Zhao Changtang’s breathing grew noticeably rapid, yet he still cautiously voiced other possibilities.
His merchandise was vast and varied, with every kind of item available; nearly every day, one or two regular customers came to patronize his shop.
The first wave of young and middle-aged men from the Dongjiang Garrison were organized into construction teams. Now, all wore yellow hard hats, swinging hoes and shovels under the guidance of Ao-Song engineers and civil engineering interns, digging foundations.
“This, I…” Tu Ci, after being scolded, stammered helplessly, unable to utter a single coherent word.
“Form ranks! Prepare to meet the enemy!” As the Hu cavalry closed within fifty paces, Yang Kaishan signaled his orderlies to lower the flag, halting the Arrowhead Battalion’s volleys, then bellowed his command.
After the host finished speaking, staff members brought forward a tray covered with a red silk cloth; no one knew what lay beneath.
Before his words ended, the Ninth Prince turned and hurried away. The Ninth Princess cast a disdainful glance at Ye Xun and strode off with equal haste.
But upon closer thought, it was subtly warning Ma Tengfei: dating Zhang Lin might mean he couldn’t even kiss her.
Chen Feng shoved the pistol into Chen Qingyu’s hand without hesitation. Her fingers instinctively tried to pull away, but Chen Feng held them fast—she couldn’t retract them at all.
The white-armored soldier, seeing Peng Sanyong’s condition, grew even angrier. He cursed, grabbed Peng’s collar, dragged him against the trench wall, drew his saber, and slashed violently.
Fortunately, that exaggerated noise didn’t last long. The match was about to begin. You for basketball.
Chen Yuanyuan feigned a thorough inspection, then directly pointed to the nine-eyed gourd hanging above the bed as the source of the problem.
Unfortunately, every time Ning Men intervened, they ended up humiliated—while Lu Xue’s reputation only grew stronger.
