Night’s Nomenclature

"Boss, if too many Chen Family fighter jets come, we may not be able to hold on," Old Twenty-One said, "Why don't we evacuate? Leave Fighter Squadrons 1191 and 119 in the sky to fight them. At least Qingshan Fortress won't fall."

"No," Li Changqing shook her head, "If the intelligence is accurate, two fighter squadrons won't be able to stop them. As long as they fly over, they can directly reach the battlefield and bomb Qing Chen and the others."

"Why do we care about Qing Chen at this time?" Old Twenty-One said with a wry smile, "Boss, you've already brought Qingshan Fortress here. You've done your best. The Chen Family clearly came prepared. If we don't leave, we're going to die."

Li Changqing turned to Old Twenty-One, "When I was attacked, Qing Chen killed all the snipers upstairs. He could have evacuated, but he didn't. Not only did he not leave, but he also stayed there to fire warning shots, preventing those Gene Soldiers from going all out. That's how I got my life back, and he was found and ambushed because he hadn't moved his position for a long time."

Li Changqing said, "Twenty-One, this is how he treated me, and this is how I should treat him now. The only thing that can intercept the Chen Family air force is Qingshan Fortress. I can't leave."

Old Twenty-One shrugged, "Boss, do whatever makes you happy."

On the Baopu, Li Shu sat in the captain's seat, "Ascend!"

Actually, Qing Chen didn't particularly care about the Li Clan disciples he taught at Autumn Leaf Manor.

He had rejected the apprenticeship letters from Li Shu and others, so strictly speaking, Li Shu and others were not his disciples.

But Qing Chen didn't care, it didn't mean that Li Shu and others didn't care.

The Li Clan emphasized seniority. Qing Chen had taught them cultivation techniques, making him their master.

If their master was a person of bad character, Li Shu and others wouldn't have thought about the master-student relationship if they hadn't become his disciples.

But Qing Chen was not a person of bad character.

When the news of Qing Chen killing his way out of A0 Base reached the Li Clan Army Group, Li Shu and others would spread the word.

They would happily discuss the details of the battle, even get some detailed information from Li Changqing's aunt, and then sit in the army group canteen and tell other Li Clan direct lineage military officers, "See, this is my master. Isn't he awesome?"

After saying that, Li Shu and others would receive a wave of envious looks, greatly satisfying their vanity.

Life in the army was very boring. Every day, besides training and studying, there was only time for bragging.

During that period, every night after lights out in the army, Li Shu would lie in bed and brag for a while, either about how powerful he was when fighting in City 18, or about how powerful his master was.

His comrades' ears were calloused from listening.

Even Qing Chen himself didn't know that he had been admired by these people all along.

At this time, Li Shu stood on the bridge of the Baopu Class A Airship, thinking that Qing Chen was now in danger, he couldn't wait to rush over and give those Chen Family brats a good beating.

As Shadow said, Qing Chen was the one underestimated by Chen Yu and Li Bingxi.

Because Shadow's own trump card was highly publicized, once he started fighting, it was very easy to be targeted and restrained. Logically speaking, Shadow shouldn't be hanging around in the wilderness for no reason.

If Shadow hadn't deliberately put himself in a dead end, no one could do anything to him.

But, he didn't have any trump cards, his brother did.

With such a brother, he dared to put himself in a desperate situation and wait for Chen Yu and Li Bingxi to appear.

On the Baopu, Li Ke felt the secretion of adrenaline, and his body was even trembling slightly.

Li Yunjing looked at him and said, "Feel this feeling. The human body is mysterious. When you are about to fight, it will give you unlimited support. However, you cannot let the hormones secreted by your body control you because of fear. Instead, you must get used to it, control it, and dominate it. At that time, you will have grown."

Li Ke suddenly said, "Uncle Yunjing, I'm not afraid, I'm excited."

"Why are you excited?"

"Thinking of us going to rescue the master like lone travelers, I feel an indescribable sense of grandeur and excitement. Loneliness and excitement are intertwined, and my feelings are very complex."

Li Yunjing glanced at him, "You're thinking too much. We won't be the first, nor the last, to rescue him. We are not lone travelers."

However, at this moment, Li Shu suddenly said on the Baopu, "Not good, dozens of unidentified fighter jets have appeared on the radar and are rapidly approaching Qingshan Fortress!"

Li Ke suddenly looked at the Holographic Sand Table, and saw seventy-two fighter jets, one Class A Airship, and one Class B Airship, already 110[-]kilometers away!

This distance was a blink of an eye for fighter jets!

Li Shu said, "Return! Assist Qingshan Fortress in battle!"

However, Li Yunjing calmly said to Li Shu, "Don't return. We have our own mission."

Li Shu was stunned.

Li Yunjing said, "Li Changqing didn't tell you to return, which means she has made her choice. Whether you return or not makes no difference."

Li Shu didn't know what to say for a while. With the number of enemy forces on the Holographic Sand Table, Qingshan Fortress was impossible to survive!

It was impossible for anyone to survive!

But Li Yunjing was right. Li Changqing knew why she came here. She had made her choice.

Inside Qingshan Fortress, Li Changqing looked at the fleet and fighter jet groups appearing on the Holographic Sand Table, "As expected, this is the standard for attacking an air fortress."

Old Twenty-One nervously swallowed, "Boss, what should we do?"

Li Changqing sat expressionlessly in the commander's seat, "Squadron 119 will return to defend. I request you to escort Qingshan Fortress. Squadron 1191 will climb to a higher altitude. I demand you break through their formation at the fastest speed. Everyone, there's no way to retreat. From now on, use absolute reason to overcome fear and despair."

"Drone combat group, take off."

"Secondary firepower bay, cover ammunition loading."

"Let's take them down to hell."

At this moment, the woman sitting in the commander's seat of Qingshan Fortress was the real Li Changqing.

She wasn't some little woman, but the Li Clan military commander who once used "Scorpion" as her operational code name.

The Chen Family's second air fleet quickly arrived.

This time, the Chen Family was exceptionally well-prepared, and their military combat system hadn't been hacked.

From the moment the two sides engaged, more than ten fighter jets were bombed and crashed.

Clusters of fire ignited the already grim night sky.

Li Changqing issued one order after another from the captain's seat, then watched Qingshan Fortress's aircraft fall one after another. The Chen Clan Fleet's fighter jets kept circling in the distance, as if they wanted to pluck out all of Qingshan Fortress's wings before finally attacking the isolated air fortress.

Inside Qingshan Fortress, many soldiers pursed their lips without saying a word. They knew what kind of outcome they were about to Face[-].

Return Countdown: 00:00.

"Qingshan Fortress is here. This is the trump card you're talking about," Li Bingxi said expressionlessly.

They had just received the news that Qingshan Fortress had appeared and intercepted the Chen Family's first southern air fleet that was rushing over.

Shadow smiled and looked at the expression on Li Bingxi's Face[-], "Surprised?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly, "I'm afraid I have to disappoint Senior Shadow. Qingshan Fortress once participated in Qing Chen's rescue operation. We naturally know about this. At that time, those who participated in the rescue included Qingshan Fortress, Li Shutong, and Fire Pit. However, we've figured out how to deal with Qingshan Fortress. Li Shutong is far away in the northern frigid zone, and you can't pull him over with the Shadow Gate now. As for Fire Pit, they dare not participate in the Federation's frontal war, right?"

Chen Yu said, "You are proud of your brother, and I understand. But unfortunately, we are not only targeting your trump card, we will also target your brother's trump card together."

Shadow seemed a little surprised, "Oh? It seems that you have made thorough preparations."

"That's right," Li Bingxi sneered, "And unfortunately, the high-energy nuclear research facility upstream of the Spring Thunder River that you are guarding has also been given to us. My people from Koshima have started to take over it. How is it? Knowing this news before you die, will you feel a little frustrated? Actually, I'm very curious, you are besieged here, but your father, the Head of the Qingshi Clan, continues to sit in City 5 as if nothing happened. Won't you, his son, feel sad?"

Shadow curiously asked, "What did you do for your son, Li Yunze?"

Li Bingxi sneered, "I came here to give him a Koshima that will regain control in the air domain. Don't worry, Qingshan Fortress is useless. Today, Li Changqing and her Qingshan Fortress will fall together. The alliance between your Qing Family and the Li Clan won't be that strong anymore."

Shadow suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "Why are you saying such childish things at your age?"

Having said that, Shadow's expression gradually became cold, "Koshima should stay on the ground honestly. Do you want to exchange your life for a core technology? Your life isn't worth that much money. From now on, I will let you witness a miracle."

Li Bingxi was stunned, "What miracle?"

Shadow suddenly looked at the towering tree in the distance.

The fact that Forbidden Zone 00 was Knight's private land was not known to many people.

Because before Qing Chen appeared, Forbidden Zone 00 never showed favoritism.

The old guy abided by the bottom line of being a dead person and no longer concerned himself with worldly affairs. Every day, they just bickered and argued.

However, from the moment Qing Chen arrived, many things changed.

In Forbidden Zone 00.

Qingshan Falcon stood on the trunk of the towering tree preening its feathers, not even glancing at the outside of the Forbidden Zone, as if everything had nothing to do with it.

Two little Qingshan Falcons stood at a higher position, intently watching something.

Little Qingshan Falcon: "Chirp!"

Dad, look, look, look!

Qingshan Falcon: "Chirp!"

Get lost!

Little Qingshan Falcon: "Chirp!"

Okay.

At this time, a warm breeze suddenly blew through Forbidden Zone, it spiraled upwards along the trunk of the towering tree, reaching Qingshan Falcon, as if saying something.

Qingshan Falcon was stunned, and obvious annoyance appeared in its eyes: "Chirp!"

Your Knight's life is life, but my life is not?! And it's fine to ask me to save Knight, but what's the point of asking me to save an air fortress?

Another gust of wind blew.

Qingshan Falcon: "Chirp!"

What's the relationship between Qingshan Fortress and me, Qingshan Falcon? Just because it has the word Qingshan, and because the people on Qingshan Fortress are helpful to you Knights, I have to save them?!

Another gust of wind blew.

Qingshan Falcon: "Chirp!"

It's annoying!

After saying that, it spread its wings and soared into the sky. Seeing that its father had flown away, the two little Qingshan Falcons also followed.

Three sky-covering Qingshan Falcons flew towards the direction of Qingshan Fortress, plunging into the dark clouds and disappearing.

The next moment, not only did the Qingshan Falcon fly away, but a fire-red Vermillion Bird, whose body was bursting with brilliant stars, also emerged from the tree crown and let out a loud cry.

In an instant, it spread its wings and flew up. Following it, countless birds of unknown species rushed out from the tree crown.

Vermillion Bird flew in the front, followed by countless birds. In the night, the brilliant starlight on Vermillion Bird's body was particularly dazzling, illuminating the flock behind it like a long river of stars.

Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix!

No one expected that there were so many creatures inhabiting that towering tree.

No one expected that the creatures in this Forbidden Zone 00 would help a human being participate in a war!

The war in the direction of Qingshan Fortress had not yet ended, but this battlefield had ushered in a new turning point.

Inside Qingshan Fortress, a soldier in charge of the radar suddenly said, "Commander, hundreds of unidentified flying objects have suddenly appeared in the west! Three of them are extremely fast and are flying towards us! Judging from their speed, they are likely to be Chen Family's A011 air-to-air fighter jets!"

Li Changqing's heart sank.

The balance of victory on the battlefield was already tilting towards the Chen Family. Now that the other side was sparing no expense in sending out so many air forces, Qingshan Fortress could no longer have any chance of turning things around.

Any command and operation was ineffective.

Li Changqing sat in the captain's seat and opened the group communication channel. She remained silent for a long time, "Thank you for your company and efforts all along. Today, we will fall here, but before we fall, please maintain the dignity of a Li Clan soldier and fight until the last second!"

Although it was a sentence of extreme sadness and despair, it made the soldiers who were originally wavering calm down and return to their fighting posts.

Since the outcome had been decided, could they make the process more exciting?

However, at this moment, the soldier in charge of the night vision observation system suddenly said, "Commander, what's flying over doesn't seem to be Chen Family A011 fighter jets, but birds. Wait, isn't that Qingshan Falcon?"

Qingshan Fortress was named after Qingshan Falcon, so how could the soldiers not know what Qingshan Falcon looked like.

However, the unidentified creatures flying in the sky were Qingshan Falcon!

And the hundreds of unidentified creatures behind Qingshan Falcon were the flock led by the Vermillion Bird!

What's going on? Why did these mysterious creatures hidden in Forbidden Zone 00 fly over, and why did they go straight to the battlefield?!

The next moment, Qingshan Falcon had arrived on the battlefield!

It was seen that its speed of falling from the sky was comparable to that of fighter jets. Its flying power was not only based on its physical structure, but also on some unknown power interacting with the world when its wings flapped.

Before the Chen Family could react, three fighter jets were destroyed. The soldiers of Qingshan Fortress didn't even see how the three Qingshan Falcons did it. They would have to watch the recordings to understand the secret.

Li Changqing silently watched in the Holographic Sand Table. For a moment, she didn't know what was going on.

She only knew the connection between the Li Clan and Knight, and the relationship between Knight and Forbidden Zone 00. It seemed that the sudden arrival of these birds was because of Qing Chen?!

At this moment, new unidentified flying objects appeared on the radar, numbering in the hundreds.

This time, a new fleet had really arrived on the battlefield.

However, before the emotions of the soldiers on Qingshan Fortress could fluctuate, a connection request had already been received in the communication system.

Communication connection established.

Qing Kun's image appeared in the holographic projection, "I'm here to support by the order of Qing Family Shadow. Please open the navigation channel and mark our target as a combat whitelist, thank you for your cooperation."

After saying that, the communication channel was closed.

In Qingshan Fortress, the soldiers' long-suppressed emotions finally eased.

Life after the disaster.
