Chapter 1592 - 1593: Meaningless
"Do you know why they suddenly chose a ceasefire, and how to get them to break it?"
Right now Ye Lingyun was burning for revenge. He couldn’t wait to wipe out the two fleets. But he also knew the Tao Tie. The shield outside their fleet was invincible to Earthlings. Only a space wormhole could get through, and Ye Lingyun didn’t know how to do that.
"We’re supposed to get some order from Death God Carl, but we don’t know what it is. Maybe it’ll come soon. After all, the Tao Tie came to Earth to bring about Carl’s death. Them just sitting in the fleets like this makes no sense."
This was Reina’s analysis of the situation. It was now somewhere between eight and nine, but it wouldn’t be long. No one knew. Maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or 013.
"Diao, do you think what my God Carl said is true? Why can’t you see a single Angel now? If they’re not coming, then let’s head out. After all this time, the brothers down there must think we’re a pair of bears."
The captain of the Seventh Fleet, Dorca, and the captain of the Eighth Fleet, Du Ao, said they didn’t believe Death God Karl’s words, but they were too bored to just stay here. Not only that, the soldiers below also felt that if things went on like this, they might as well go back to where they came from.
"Who says they don’t? I’m afraid it’ll just keep dragging on. By then the main force will get unstable. Even if my God Carl gives us an order, it won’t be that easy to complete the mission."
When Death God Karl heard they had hurt an Angel, he ordered them to stop fighting. How could we say that with Carl’s current power, this still wasn’t enough to take on the Angels. The reason was Gluttony—Carl would have to wipe a big chunk then. He didn’t want to cause himself that much trouble.
"Or we send out a small team to stir up some panic. If the Angels are on the ground, they’ll come out. Then we can keep hiding like this."
Dorca adopted this tactic. If that small team really got picked off by the Angels, they could report to Carl that those guys had slipped out on their own, distancing it from themselves—no big problem. If the Angels still didn’t show, they’d launch a full-scale attack and cause casualties then, contributing to Carl. Maybe they’d even get some reward.
The two brothers hit it off just like that and immediately formed an advance vanguard, which departed from the fleets and launched a new wanton offensive on Earth.
"Caesar told you to tidy up those Gluttony things. Did she explain the precautions to you in detail, like what you can’t do?"
When Du Kao learned that Caesar had sent Ye Lingyun to wipe out the Tao Tie, he brought him to the command room. He wanted to get a detailed understanding of the situation. If any immoral methods that harmed Earth’s interests were involved, he wouldn’t agree, not to mention letting Earth gain another enemy.
"She said if I can, then do it however."
In fact, Caesar hadn’t said that, but Ye Lingyun just couldn’t stand Du Kao. He deliberately put it that way, just to see what Du Kao could do to him.
"You..."
"Beep—beep—beep—beep—"
Just as Du Kao was about to say something, the alarm over the Grand Canyon suddenly went off.
"The Dao Tie Army is attacking again. All companies, prepare for combat. All companies, prepare for combat."
Just now, Du Kao could have said something, but now the Tao Tie were back. After a rest, their offensive power would be stronger than before, and it would be very hard to fend off.
Ye Lingyun was thrilled at the news. He’d been worried the Tao Tie wouldn’t come out. Now it was time for him to clean them up. He shot Du Kao a contemptuous look, turned, walked out of the hut, and spread his wings to fly out.
At this moment, the other warriors of the Heroic Soldier Company also arrived at the hut. They had likewise heard that the Dao Tie Army was attacking again. They’d come here to wait for Du Kao to make a strategic deployment.
"They really came out. Looks like another tough battle."
"I’d been wanting to be his mama, but in the end he still came out."
"Admiral Du Kao, what should we do this time?"
There were different opinions, but they were all ready to fight again. Their morale had risen a lot, even if they wouldn’t admit it.
"Rose, Reina, you two cover Qilin and go after Ye Lingyun. If necessary, shoot and kill him. Everyone else stand by."
This was General Du Kao’s deployment. Very simple. It wasn’t aimed at the Dao Tie Army, but at Ye Lingyun.
"Necessary? What counts as necessary?"
"Why kill him? It’s the Gluttony main force invading us right now."
Hearing Du Kao’s words, Ye Lingyun’s sisters immediately objected. They knew Ye Lingyun had come to deal with the Tao Tie. Why was Dudu Kao standing on the Tao Tie’s side?
"If it harms Earth’s interests, then he must be killed."
The situation was urgent. Du Kao had no time to explain to them. He stressed this in a very strong tone. This was a military order—if you don’t obey, you can’t execute.
Rena Ross and the others had no choice but to quickly leave the cabin and chase after Ye Lingyun in the direction he’d just gone. Ge Xiaolun and the rest were stunned. What was going on now? The Tao Tie had launched an attack—why were they watching Ye Lingyun? No one knew the answer.
The reason Du Kao sent these people was that Qilin was an excellent sniper, and she used the Killing God No.1 Submachine Gun. Once things looked bad, she could kill Ye Lingyun outright. Lina was the Dawn Goddess, the strongest in terms of ability. She was the only one who could hold Ye Lingyun down, while Rose could flexibly use space-time wormholes to provide excellent support and help. And the three of them shared one trait in common: their relationship with Ye Lingyun was anything but ordinary. Even if the plan failed, Ye Lingyun wouldn’t kill these three.
"Rosa, is there something wrong with your dad’s head? It’s time to counterattack, so why are we watching Lingyun?"
Although Reina followed orders and did as Du Kao said, she was still confused. She didn’t know what Du Kao’s real goal was.
"I think what he meant was anything harmful to Earth’s interests. Ye Lingyun is an Angel now. He’s very powerful and could affect many lives on Earth. If things really develop to that point, shouldn’t our company be the one to make the final call?"
Although she didn’t usually deal much with her father, she still knew him better. He was a qualified officer; his starting point in work came from everyone, so there was no way he’d add any personal feelings.
"Then what do we do if he really does that?"
Right now they couldn’t afford to overthink it. The few of them were a unit; they had to establish a continuous combat objective. Qilin asked what they should do if Ye Lingyun really went that far.
For a moment, the three of them fell silent. They simply followed behind Ye Lingyun in silence. No one knew what to do. About a minute later, Reina finally spoke.
"Shoot!"
Those two words, she said very firmly—you could say through gritted teeth. She was the company’s combat leader; at this moment, only she had the authority to make the final decision.
"Got it!"
Qilin’s answer matched Lina’s mood. You could say that, if it really came to that, she might not be able to pull the trigger.
When Ye Lingyun reached the Tao Tie’s location, he saw them standing on specially made flying motorbikes, using their weapons to attack the ground. At this time, everyone on the ground was fleeing, some police were firing at the stars scattered in the sky, but this had no effect on those Tao Tie.
"Now."
Ye Lingyun extended the steel claws on the backs of his hands, rapidly flapped his wings, and flew toward two of them.
"Ka, ka—"
Twice, the two Tao Tie they attacked were sliced in half at the waist, tumbling straight off their flyers. The motorbikes, out of control, began to careen wildly before finally crashing down to the ground.
