Chapter 640: 637, The result of one night_1
The scene switches back to the Himalayan Mountain range where the guerrilla war between the Blue Star monks and the Skuru people continues.
Unbeknownst to them, time has advanced to the morning of the following day, precisely 8 am on November 13th.
Now standing high in the sky, Su Yu was able to see the eastern sky beginning to turn white.
After one night of intense combat, the Blue Star monks were exhausted. Travelling between various spiritual springs, they had expended a significant amount of magical energy.
However, the achievements of that night were not quite satisfactory.
Their strategy of “splitting into two teams” for the guerrilla warfare was indeed steady. There were no casualties, not even any injuries, throughout the night. But the cost was a low efficiency.
Because of the time spent travelling and the sudden harassment by the god-level Skurus, Su Yu’s team and Prime Minister Cao Cao could only capture one minor spring eye every half an hour on average.
By 8 am, after seven hours, the Blue Star monks had only captured 28 minor spring eyes. Including the three captured by Su Yu and Alyssa in the first hour, they had captured a total of 31 minor spring eyes.
The achievement of “capturing 31 minor spring eyes overnight” seemed good at first glance, given that there were just over 3700 spring eyes worldwide, and nearly 1% had been captured overnight.
However, compared to the previous night’s achievement of “177 spring eyes”, there was a huge difference, hence the general dissatisfaction.
…
At the moment, Su Yu and the other three level seven individuals had just taken over a minor spring eye and were waiting in the sky for the level six monks to come and take over.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Su Yu’s face, Tina softly comforted him, “It’s okay Nemesis, 31 is already quite good. We still have nearly 200 days. We have enough time to take back all the spring eyes!”
Upon hearing her words, Su Yu’s furrowed brow relaxed, and he chuckled at her, “You’re right, Tina.”
Tina was indeed correct; there was plenty of time.
Moreover, as the strength of Blue Star monks improves, the speed of taking back the spring eyes will be even faster.
In short, before the final battle, they can completely take back all the spring eyes!
However, Su Yu had a faint sense of unease.
He noticed that the enemy Skuru god-levels seemed quite calm. Could they be brewing some other scheme?
Alyssa stood next to Tina and Su Yu.
She stared at the Skru base below, musingly saying:
“The technology of the Skru Star is indeed advanced! If I could bring such technology back to our country, help my people escape from heavy manual labor, liberate production power, I guess my people could have a good life!”
Hearing her words, Su Yu smiled, “Alyssa, isn’t this exactly what we’re doing?
The development of industry and technology should be progressive; it can’t be accomplished overnight. Sooner or later, the level of technology on your planet, as well as on ours, can reach the current level of the Skru People!”
At present, especially within the Goldfinch Empire, the game world has already begun the industrial revolution. The joint government shares all the technology mastered by the Blue Star, without any restrictions, with the game world.
However, because the game world lacks a solid foundation and the time is short, the current level of industrialization is still primitive.
“I hope that day comes soon!” Alyssa clasped her hands together and closed her eyes in a girlish praying manner.
Although she had temporarily handed over the country to her clone, the country was still the most important thing in her eyes, slightly more important than Su Yu.
Leading the country towards prosperity was her lifelong mission, as well as her only goal in life.
Looking at Alyssa’s expressions, Su Yu wanted to say something else. But at this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Upon checking his mobile phone, he discovered that the call was from Prime Minister Cao Cao.
So he quickly answered, “Prime Minister, what’s the matter?”
…
The scene cuts to Skru Star.
In the headquarters of the Skru Star Expeditionary Force, Commander Langqi was reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, “Your Majesty, up till now, the Blue Star Humans have taken over 31 spring eyes altogether, and all of them are minor spring eyes.
The official time in the Blue Star Huaxia Nation is now 8 in the morning. I suppose they will retreat soon.”
“Hmm… Well done,” Manina commended, “everyone has worked hard and greatly delayed the progress of the Blue Star People … Langqi, how is the ‘Explosive Mining’ plan coming along?”
“Your Majesty, the plan is proceeding methodically,” Langqi answered with a smile. “The logistics department is summoning Anti-heavy crystal drilling instruments from all over the country.
We estimate that in 9 days, all the crystal drill instruments in the country can be concentrated in the headquarters and we can formally launch the plan.”
“9 days, hmm? It is faster than expected… All right, continue with your work. After the war, I will give you the honor and rewards you deserve!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Langqi replied excitedly.
Since His Majesty had promised him a reward, there was a chance that he could redeem his brother from the Blue Star when His Majesty was in a good mood! This thought invigorated Langqi.
After finishing his speech, Manina XIII hung up the video communique. At the headquarters, Langqi had a cup of fresh bug juice to invigorate his spirits, and then continued to observe the actions of the Blue Star Humans.
The screen in front of him was flickering with light dots representing the movement of the Blue Star Monks. When he saw the dots on the screen, he was taken aback.
Because right now, the light points representing Prime Minister Cao Cao and Su Yu and his group were unexpectedly converging.
In the past few hours, Prime Minister Cao Cao and Su Yu’s group had been acting separately without convergence.
What were they up to?
Soon, Jennifer, stationed at the Blue Star base, sent him a message, “Sir Langqi, Su Yu and the other four level seven Blue Star monks are suddenly converging with Cao Cao. How should we react?”
“Jennifer, do you know why they are converging?” Langqi asked gravely.
“I’m not sure. Based on my judgment, there are two possibilities: One, the Blue Star monks are gathering to leave and prepare to fight again tomorrow; the other possibility is that they are targeting a bigger goal!
I’m more inclined to the second possibility, because these five Blue Star monks move incredibly fast! If they really want to leave, there’s no need for them to fly this quickly.”
Hearing Jennifer’s analysis, Langqi glanced at the screen in front of him.
Upon seeing the recorded flying speeds of the five Blue Star monks on the screen, his pupils contracted instantly.
This was not just fast, they were likely using their maximum flying speeds!
Under normal circumstances, new level-five monks have a flying speed of approximately 30 km/h, new level-six monks can reach 210 km/h.
New level-seven monks can reach 1 Mach (1 times the speed of sound), and new level-eight monks can almost reach 7 Mach.
According to the speed data on the screen, the flying speed of Su Yu and his three companions generally reached around 3.3 Mach, while Prime Minister Cao Cao reached an astonishing 15 Mach!
Apparently, they were definitely not returning; they were certainly gathering to target a specific spring eye. He was sure of it!
