Chapter 45: Farewell and Rendezvous
Deep in the far north, under the cliffs of the sea. A small flotilla of three fishing boats quickly ripped off the camouflage cloth and began to raise anchor. Soon, the hum of the magic engine was already ringing one by one. With a slight shake from the deck, the flotilla began to move forward and slowly accelerated.
On the deck, Xie Xiao and Academician Qian were standing together, whispering something.
Looking at the crowd of people who were doing their jobs in an orderly manner, Xie Ning nodded with satisfaction, but turned to Academician Qian, who had been contemplating beside him.
"Academician, continue with what we just said. You say, can you get the fleet through the chaos zone? Although space magic energy cannot form an independent space without materialization, its advanced rule-oriented characteristics should be able to block the penetration of chaotic elemental magic field waves, right? β
"In that case, if I wrap the fleet's power system with space magic, will we be able to sail in the chaos zone, even though we can't fight?"
Academician Qian shook her head, as if she continued to ponder, however, gradually, she began to dance with her eyebrows.
"I have to say, Your Highness, this is really a genius idea! Chances are! β
She high-fived and praised: "I will arrange for them to experiment immediately, Your Highness, you are also here, we need you to provide space magic energy at any time to cooperate." β
With that, the two of them quickly walked out.
β¦β¦
"You mean, we can lead the Dingbei formation, cross the chaotic sea area of the magic field, and slip out from the other side?" Xiao Ledong suddenly chased after him with a happy face and asked.
"No way. The reason why the barbarians are chasing and stopping now is that they want to use low-intermediate against low-intermediate to minimize losses. But once the barbarians find out that we can sail there, they will definitely not hesitate to lose the high-level magic battle, and they will not hesitate to consume the magic energy to accelerate the pursuit and attack. It's a problem if you catch up - I can't wrap every cannon and every fighter with space magic, can I? β
"Moreover, in the face of high-level demon wars, as long as they bring low-level and medium-level cooperation, the magic fleet is powerless. We don't lack anything, but we lack high-level or even super-level combat power, otherwise I have the confidence to lead them to break through. β
β¦β¦
"What's more, don't forget, even if my idea is viable. The fighter plane relies on the magic energy jet for power output, and it can't be wrapped with space magic energy, can I still leave an opening in the space magic energy membrane? Then I can materialize. And the same is true of artillery groups. Only large ships that rely on the power system to output power to the propellers canβI cover their nuclear crystal engines directly. We only ensured the power, but we were still deprived of combat power. β
"So, it's still a death to be caught up. It's just a matter of delaying death. But, for now. We have at least discovered the Dingbei formation, and it can give them a few more days of buffering. β
Xie Ning walked with Academician Qian in great strides, but he turned around and said, and then he waved his hand to Xiao Ledong again.
"I have to cooperate with Academician Qian in research. Lele, you find Brother Genius and Lao Meng, each of you will lead a third of the team, each guard a ship, and prepare to break through the blockade! β
He commanded in a loud voice.

At dawn. In the faint morning light, a huge dark shadow was sailing quietly on the sea.
Chief of Staff Sun didn't seem to have slept all night, but he was anxiously walking around outside the officer's room of the formation commander.
The door creaked open, and several white coats with solemn faces walked out. But it was the military doctor who once again visited the wounded commander of the formation.
"How's Chief Zhou?" Chief of Staff Sun asked anxiously.
"It's bad." One of the military doctors at the head shook his head with a look of disappointment.
"The commander passed out again last night and has not woken up until now. His internal brain injuries were too severe, with increased intracranial pressure and brain weakness due to intracranial hemorrhage. The brain weakness seems to have had an effect on the soul sea, and the soul spiral in the soul sea continues to weaken. Rational treatment methods are completely useless. The boat was too bumpy for us to administer physiotherapy. And, for intracranial hemorrhage. We don't have that treatment technique either......"
"Chief of Staff, you'd better ...... Prepare for the worst. Commander-in-Chief...... He is only relying on the soul spiral to use magic energy to support him now...... But as his soul spiral continued to weaken, he could fall at any moment, no matter how good it was...... Maybe it won't last a few days......"
He whispered.
β¦β¦
Chief of Staff Sun looked at several military doctors in the distance, but he was stunned and shed tears.
After a long time, he sniffed and wiped the tears from his face, but pushed the door open.
"Sir, Commander Zheng of the Navy Demon Squad has woken up." He leaned over to the bedside of Commander Zhou of the formation, but said in a low voice.
"Take, take me to his room." The middle-aged general on the bed who was gasping for breath with his eyes closed suddenly reacted, and a faint voice had already come out.
"Sir, your body ......," Chief of Staff Sun suddenly hesitated.
"Am I not clear about my own body? I've heard you talking outside. Most of my injuries are in the brain and the soul spiral caused by brain hemorrhage continues to weaken, and those who do not hinder movement can help me through. β
The middle-aged general said weakly, but struggled to sit up from the bed.
Chief of Staff Sun's eyes were sour, he wiped his eyes, and he had already helped the commander and walked out of the door with difficulty.
β¦β¦
"Old man, I heard, did you beat them up again yesterday?"
In another adjacent officer's room, a man wrapped like a dumpling was lying on the bed, looking at the commander of the formation who was lying side by side with him, but asked with a smile and a low voice.
"Yes, but I'm afraid we're in danger too. In a few days, the barbarians will be surrounded, and we will either fight to the death or enter the chaos zone...... There is no other choice. β
The commander of the formation also replied in a low voice.
"I knew earlier, I should have listened to you, when I first joined the Demon General Corps, don't fight to be the captain of any ship, practice magic energy honestly, maybe I won't be injured that day."
He thought about it, and sighed again.
β¦β¦
"If I had known, I shouldn't have tried my best to save you, and I would have become such a ghost."
Commander Zheng of the Demon Clan said in a low voice: "Is this still like what the Naval Dragon, the commander of the Dingbei Formation, said?" At the beginning, we suddenly lost communication and were about to return to Hong Kong, but we were caught off guard and surrounded on the way. Didn't you rely on your skillful command to get out of here? Otherwise, we would have all been sacrificed long ago, so why should you be arrogant? β
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Long. The voice of the commander of the formation sounded again: "Old man, I asked the doctor just now, and you can still recover." Your injuries are severe, but they are not in the brain, but only in the internal organs. You are the firmament, one order higher than me, and the strength of your magic energy is higher than mine, although you seem to be unable to move. But now your soul spiral is working with the means of reason to keep you alive. β
"Just get on the shore and do physical surgery. That's it. Later...... The formation is up to you. β
The commander of the formation said in a deep voice.
β¦β¦
Commander Zheng laughed low when he heard this: "Hehe, didn't you say that you want to die with the enemy?" Why did you think about it later? Those of you who are Demon War Commanders always like to think so much like your Demon Staff. Moreover, you think, I'm just a guy who only knows magic battles, how can I have the experience of commanding large formations? β
"Leave it to Chief of Staff Sun or your deputy commander, I don't feel at ease......"
The commander of the formation suddenly sighed.
"Chief of Staff Sun is too cautious, and he cooperates with me, who tends to be aggressive. But being in charge of the overall situation alone seems to be a bit forward-looking. Just like in the past few days, they have discussed and discussed, but they only know how to escape. Although the difference in strength is too great. But the imperial army, how can it not have the heart to attack. β
"The other one was completely damaged by you, just thinking about the demon war and ignoring everything else, it is even more difficult for him to come up with an idea than to ascend to the sky."
"Both of them are the material of the adjutant and not the chief...... Can others. Not to mention, no status, no matter how high the ability. Maybe we don't have time to dig out either. What's more, without an excellent magic battle strength, it can't suppress the group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in our Dingbei formation. β
"Forget it, what's the need to think about it later? Before you die, fight a few more and make your final contribution to the empire......"
"Speaking of which, I'm so homesick now...... My wife...... I don't know if she will be able to stand it if she knows the news. And my eldest son, I guess he should have graduated from high school, I don't know if he can be admitted to the Royal Demon War Military Academy. β
The commander of the formation whispered in a series of whispers, and tears were already flashing in his eyes.
β¦β¦
"My eldest son is too. Don't worry, those two boys will be fine. Commander Zheng, who had been listening silently, shook his head with difficulty, but touched his forehead with the commander of the formation to show comfort.
Immediately, he said: "For the empire, for our families, we sacrificed our lives bravely, and we died without regrets." Without us, those two boys might have either died or were running for their lives, how could they still think of going to the Royal Demon War Military Academy? So, old man, we don't lose ......"
"yes...... No loss...... If Huaxia falls into the hands of barbarians again, we will be finished...... While we're still useful, let's fight to the death. It is necessary to protect our next generation from the suffering of that dark enslavement and slaughter. β
The commander of the formation muttered. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Commander Zheng, but a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes: "The only regret is that you refuse to give birth to a daughter, and the daughters-in-law of my sons have not yet been found." β
", I was still counting on you to give birth to a daughter, and as a result, I got three seeds with handles."
Commander Zheng immediately laughed and scolded, and also turned his head to look over.
The two high-ranking imperial generals looked at each other, but at the same time they showed a warm smile to each other.
β¦β¦
"It seems...... This is our farewell, right? Old man, I just hope that we can be brothers again in the next life...... I hope that those boys in my family and those boys in your family will have the same deep relationship as we do. You and I are the two families of Zhou Zheng and the two families, generations of brothers......"
After a long time, the commander of the formation muttered again.
"Well...... They will. They will not forget that their fathers grew up together, served together, and finally ...... Fight and die together. They will carry on our legacy, brothers for generations. β
Commander Zheng replied in a low voice.
The two generals lay side by side on their beds and began to fall into a long silence.
Looking through the porthole, the morning light was faint outside, and the morning sun was like blood.
β¦β¦
I don't know how long it took, but the door was quietly pushed open.
Chief of Staff Sun and Deputy Commander of the Demon Clan, both walked in with strange expressions.
"Sir, the guard's Songshan frigate has encountered several fishing boats chasing at great speed. After they boarded the fishing boat, they found that it was more than 100 remnants of the naval demon team that had escaped from the Weibei Air Mother Formation, and the Extreme North scientific expedition group that seemed to have been trapped in the depths of the Far North. β
Chief of Staff Sun reported in a low voice to the commander of the formation, who seemed to be lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
"What? Far North scientific expedition group? They actually escaped? The two generals suddenly opened their eyes, but they both asked in shock.
"Yes, I don't know what means they used, the escort group of hundreds of people died thirty or forty people, and the scholars of the scientific expedition team were miraculously unharmed! God, after crossing the Far North Forest with barbarians everywhere and finding us again, didn't they find it? Then their luck is too good, right? β
Deputy Commander Wang also said with amazement on his face.
The two generals lying on the bed glanced at each other.
"Quick, bring their chief officer to the flagship, come to our room."
The commander of the formation had already ordered urgently. (To be continued......)
