Commanding Across the Distance

Huang Ji stood atop a vast Qi Sea. The moment he appeared, he reclaimed three Shell Worlds.

Behind him, countless Neutron War Stars stretched in an unbroken wall, enough to make anyone dizzy.

"The Star Shells! It's our army!"

"Thank goodness! Our army's here!"

Below, Shacha civilians cheered everywhere. They waved their head shells excitedly and wept with joy.

If the army had not come to rescue them, they would most likely have been carried off.

Not to be enslaved. The Shacha Civilization was a Faction Lord, after all, and deserved some respect. Besides, the Sha Cha People were ill-suited to slavery. Why bother? The main reason to abduct them was ransom. During the Four Emperors' last invasion of Shacha, the civilians they seized had been ransomed back by the Shacha Civilization with supplies.

The ransom was handled in secret, of course. Publicly, they announced that the civilians had been rescued during a campaign against the Abyss.

The Star Shell army left several hundred soldiers to handle the aftermath. They also learned where the Four Emperors had gone from the people they had rescued.

"What? The entire Four Emperors Gang really did gather at the Xuan Ke Wormhole?" the General Commander asked in shock.

He had originally planned to split his forces three ways and reinforce all three fronts at once. They had the numbers for it.

But Huang Ji had overruled every objection and insisted that he concentrate his forces at Xuan Ke.

Strictly speaking, the General Commander did not have to obey Huang Ji. But Han Bi had appointed Huang Ji as their "strategist" and told him to heed Huang Ji's advice whenever possible.

Besides, it was only because Huang Ji had held off the Truth Society member alone that they had been able to use the wormhole.
