Chapter 1224: Chapter 1225: Retreat, Retreat, Retreat

Two armies facing off?

The scene before him made Huan Junli concentrate his gaze; now, he should be able to witness the Huaxia Empire’s prowess in direct confrontation.

The forces that submitted to Shengling Realm also understood that they are likely to be officially caught in a melee of stalemate soon.

Many leaders of the surrendered forces were considering whether to send their Soul Martial Artists to the front line for support.

Although Lin Qian had said that they need not meddle in the upcoming combat, their task was to elevate themselves and develop the Empire.

Yet, this grand battle concerned the future of Shengling Realm, their life and death ahead, and they could not take it lightly.

However, within the Red Flame Realm, Xuanxing Realm, Danmu Realm, as well as the Huaxia people from Baqing Star Domain and Huichun Star Domain, though now members of the Huaxia Empire, considered their own,

when they saw the soul cannon barrels protruding from the cracked front of the Void Warship, each one of them twitched their mouths with tightened hearts.

They couldn’t forget the oppressive shadow of being subjugated by the Huaxia Empire’s war machines during past conflicts.

The attack was utterly despairing, especially when they saw the broadcast on the Soul Vision Machine, with the enemy’s Cloud Boat Fleet remaining stationary, offering silent condolences inwardly.

In the Wei Realm, Huaxia people here had far more understanding of the Huaxia Empire than other areas.

Many of the younger generation, accompanied by their parents, watched the war through special broadcasts on the Soul Computer.

In the Huaxia Empire, there was talk of the old and new era.

The old era referred to those who experienced the territorial transitions of the Huaxia Empire. Although they had adapted to the Empire’s life, they lagged behind the younger generation in using objects from the new era.

For example, the Soul Computer, which they couldn’t operate as fluently as their descendants.

Through the broadcast images on the Soul Computer network, they could choose which reconnaissance warship’s footage to watch.

Many of the younger generation first watched the scene of the Empire’s Void Warship preparations, then switched to the fleets of Ming Chun Hall, Hude Clan, and Flowing Gold Clan.

“This is the result of the information disparity in war. If they knew about the soul cannon, they probably would’ve retreated the Cloud Boat backward, creating distance, then sent out forces for harassment attacks to hinder the pursuit of the Void Warship.” A young human clan youth on the Soul Martial Star sat in front of the Soul Computer, controlling it with soul consciousness.

The screen continuously switched between various images.

Though the Soul Computer was similar to the computers in Lin Qian’s previous life, being a soul device, it allowed Soul Martial Artists to operate with ease using only soul consciousness, extremely convenient.

Qin Wushuang, sitting beside him, rubbed his chin: “Speaks volumes, you really care about this war, huh? The outcome is already determined, why care so much.”

“Your grandpa is taking a rare day off, don’t you know to spend time with me? Didn’t your academy teach you to respect the elderly and cherish the young?”

The youth glanced sideways, annoyed at his grandfather: “That’s the stuff taught in small schools, grandpa. Your grandson is already a student at the University, pre-admitted to the research academy.”

“This is University homework, should be of the whole Imperial University’s additional assignments, watching the war and writing reviews, analyzing our and the enemy’s advantages and disadvantages.” Saying this, the youth also looked disdainfully at his grandfather, “Grandpa, shouldn’t you be cultivating? You’re a fellow disciple with Wei Shen, yet your realm is so far apart. As your grandson, it’s embarrassing.”

“Besides, your grandson’s realm is soon going to catch up to yours.”

Bam!

The moment the youth finished, his forehead was hit hard by Qin Wushuang’s fist: “You little brat, could your grandfather’s cultivation resources from a young age compare to yours?”

“Back then, your grandpa’s three meals a day consisted of inferior videos filled with various magazines, living in just an ordinary house that merely sheltered from the elements. Even when he became the chief disciple of the sect, the resources he enjoyed weren’t even one ten-thousandth of yours.”

“Now you live in a house set up with a Spirit Gathering Array, everything you eat and drink is filled with spiritual and blood energy. From a young age, you have various powerful individuals teaching step by step, numerous replica exams for your tempering.”

“You bunch of new-era brats really…”

The youth shrugged, continuing his focus on the footage onscreen: “We don’t really know what kind of days you older generations lived through. But I heard from Senior Yuan, when they went to train in the newly surrendered Shengling Realm, the son of the top power’s Sect Master there lived a life similar to ours ordinary folk.”

“Really sounds poor.”

“Alright, won’t disturb your homework.” Qin Wushuang waved his hand, and the youth chuckled, continuing to gaze at the battle situation on the screen.

Standing behind his grandson, Qin Wushuang also felt a lot of emotions.

His thoughts inevitably drifted back to over a thousand years ago, the day Wei Wushuang returned to the sect with a young boy.

Who could have imagined that the boy would grow into such a person today?

Even if today’s young generation of humans enjoyed incomparably rich resources, compared to Lin Qian of that era, they were still far behind.

Back then, the strength Lin Qian displayed was overwhelmingly dominant.

And among the new era human race, despite enjoying such advantageous conditions, not once has a person with twelve layers of Soul Light emerged.

Legend remains unbreakable.

At the three Overlord Level forces, the Left and Right Hall Masters and the two Clan Leaders were discussing how to handle the upcoming melee.

“Since the opponent has set up such a formation, they must be preparing for direct confrontation,” inferred the Clan Leader of the Flowing Gold Clan.

On the other side, the Clan Leader of Hude Clan also nodded in agreement with this statement: “Frankly, I also don’t believe the opponent will employ such extreme attack methods again.”

“Anyway, we must be vigilant. I’ve always said there’s something odd about this Huaxia Empire,” Right Hall Master also spoke out, gazing that way, “The current plan is to quickly gather the remaining Cloud Boats together, form a defensive array once more, or else…”

Before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed; a terrifying soul energy wave unexpectedly surged from the distant direction of the enemy’s Cloud Boat Fleet.

This wave sent shivers down the spine.

What’s happening, is the Huaxia Empire about to act, but it seems like no one is approaching?

Everyone turned their gaze towards the direction of the distant fleet.

At this moment, the Left and Right Hall Masters suddenly recalled there was an attack method the opponent seemed to have, which the two of them had forgotten.

However, wasn’t this distance too far?

“Not good, everyone be careful!” A terrifying possibility suddenly emerged in Left Hall Master’s mind, shouting urgently.
