Chapter 58: War Begins!

Another half hour passed.

The old man standing beside Ye Cang had his satellite phone suddenly ring.

After the old man answered the call, he spoke a few simple words and hung up.

Immediately, he said to Ye Cang: "Notification came from Du Kaao's side; the Taotie are about to launch an attack, and the Xiongbing Company is already prepared to join the battle."

"What do you intend to do?"

Ye Cang said coldly: "I don't intend to do anything. You and I can just stand here and watch the Xiongbing Company; there is no need to manage anything."

The old man did not quite understand what Ye Cang meant.

"Xiao Cang, what do you mean by this?"

"Normally, shouldn't you have the Xiongbing Company assist you in battle, or you assist the Xiongbing Company in battle?"

"Why are you choosing neither, and instead want to watch the Xiongbing Company fight? Is this because you are afraid of having the credit stolen if you are with the Xiongbing Company?"

"Credit?" Ye Cang shook his head. "What time is it now to be talking about credit? I don't care about such things."

"I am only doing this to resolve the battle as quickly as possible!"

"How so?" The old man became interested upon hearing this. "Explain in detail."

Ye Cang moved his hand and pulled up the real-time surveillance of Tianhe City.

Pointing at the surveillance screen, he explained: "According to calculations, the Taotie's target is Tianhe City, so I had Tianhe City evacuated in advance."

"Furthermore, once this kind of interstellar war breaks out, it cannot be resolved on a small scale; the entire Tianhe City will become a battlefield."

"At this moment, by directly abandoning Tianhe City and launching the most intense offensive, we can catch the Taotie off guard. As long as the follow-up firepower keeps up, we can resolve the battle as quickly as possible."

When the old man heard Ye Cang expressionlessly say "abandon Tianhe City," his heart skipped a beat.

But he did not interrupt Ye Cang, only listening as Ye Cang continued.

"If I help the Xiongbing Company, or the Xiongbing Company helps me, I will be tied up in this battle and unable to use maximum firepower."

Hearing this, the old man already understood Ye Cang's meaning.

Just as the old man was about to speak.

Ye Cang added: "Besides the reason I just stated, there is another reason."

"The group of Super Soldiers that Du Kaao has cultivated are all a bunch of green, inexperienced children."

"Right now, they have not experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, so they will certainly be full of confidence, thinking that the Taotie or whatever are nothing special."

"Therefore, they need to experience a beating from reality."

"What's more, if I were to fight alongside the Xiongbing Company, there would certainly be some things that would be hard to explain later, even though you would speak on my behalf."

"However, this kind of trouble can be avoided, and I don't want to waste my breath on such matters."

As soon as Ye Cang finished speaking, the old man burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, Xiao Cang, you are about the same age as the Xiongbing Company, yet you call them children. Don't forget that you are a child too!"

But after hearing this, Ye Cang only grinned and said nothing more.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

The time reached 3:30.

At this time, all the residents of Tianhe City had been completely evacuated.

And even the stationed soldiers had left entirely under Ye Cang's orders; now, Tianhe City had thoroughly become an empty city.

If the Taotie came, they would certainly find nothing.

But the result of this would be that once the Taotie discovered Tianhe City was an empty city, they would change their target of attack.

Of course, Ye Cang had also thought of this; when the Taotie launched their attack, he would issue the order for all Xuannü and White Emperor Fighter units to deploy in full force!

To bind the Taotie within Tianhe City and not let them spread out.

At the same time, the Xiongbing Company had also entered a state of emergency combat.

Di Leina led Ge Xiaolun and the others toward the deck of the Juxia, preparing to rush to the battlefield at the first opportunity.

However, after walking only a few steps, Di Leina suddenly thought of someone.

Ye Cang.

This made her subconsciously stand in place and fall into thought.

Ye Cang had developed Controlled Nuclear Fusion; would his presence appear during this Taotie invasion?

If he did appear, in what form would he appear?

Before Di Leina could think it through.

Liu Chuang, behind her, suddenly shouted.

"Oh my god, Big Sister, what are you thinking about? We're about to go to war, why have you stopped walking?"

Di Leina came back to her senses after hearing this.

"It's nothing, Liu Chuang. I just suddenly thought of someone. Let's go!"

After saying this, Di Leina walked forward.

But after only a few steps, Liu Chuang said again: "Who did you think of, Big Sister? Is it... heart..."

Before Liu Chuang could finish his sentence, Di Leina interrupted him irritably.

"Shut up, Liu Chuang!"

"Oh, oh!" Liu Chuang hurriedly covered his mouth upon hearing this and stopped talking.

Soon, the group arrived on the deck of the Juxia.

Another half hour passed.

The time had reached 4:00 sharp!

And at this very moment, the Taotie warships arrived on time above Tianhe City and launched their first round of bombing against it.

In an instant, countless firepower descended from the sky onto Tianhe City; in just a few minutes, Tianhe City was covered in artillery fire.

Fortunately, before this, the people in Tianhe City had already been completely evacuated.

After this round of bombardment, the Taotie deployed Taotie warriors stepping on Small Airships to enter Tianhe City.

At this moment, Ye Cang, who was on Luan Bird One, saw the Small Airships the Taotie warriors were stepping on, and his eyes lit up immediately.

How could he have forgotten about this good thing?

He would wait to get a few intact Small Airships to study, then equip them for his Super Soldiers so that the Super Soldiers would have anti-air capabilities.

If they were modified further, hmm, the problem of fighting in space would be solved!

Perfect!

Just as Ye Cang was thinking, the old man spoke.

"Little Cang, look, that group of Taotie warriors has discovered that Tianhe City has become an empty city, and they are about to launch an attack on other urban areas!"

Ye Cang looked up at the screen.

Sure enough, that group of Taotie warriors had discovered that the situation was wrong and were reporting the situation to the Main Capital Ship.

Seeing this, Ye Cang grinned and immediately issued an order.

"Three Luan Birds, take note: immediately deploy all Xuannv Fighters and White Emperor Fighters."

"Luan Bird received!" ×3

The next second, the Xuannv and White Emperor Fighters mounted on the huge wings of the Luan Birds all set out, preparing to launch an attack on the Taotie above Tianhe City.

Ye Cang then said again: "Zhizi, you take control of all the Xuannv and White Emperor Fighters!"

"First, use the White Emperor Fighters to conduct low-altitude combat to pin down the movements of all Taotie warriors and Taotie firepower ships."

"Second, have the Xuannv Fighters continuously launch attacks against the largest Main Capital Ship; you must delay for time with all your might until the Xiongbing Company joins the battlefield!"

"Zhizi received!" Having received the order, Zhizi immediately began to execute it.
