The Sword of the Former Dynasty Slays the Officials of the Present Dynasty, the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Fox Du Kao

Inside the command room, Lorgio listened to everyone's complaints and couldn't help rubbing his temples. Looking at them, he said, "Things have already been decided. There's no use saying more. First, let's count how many supplies are left at the base, and then..."

Hearing Lorgio's orders, everyone nodded. They knew that, given the current situation, this was the only thing they could do.

The core of Lorgio's plan was simple: squeeze out as many resources as possible and send them to the main battlefield. That was the most important part, and absolutely nothing could go wrong there.

Otherwise, they would truly be screwed.

However, this method was only a temporary solution. To resolve the matter completely, they still had to rely on supplies from the rear.

Otherwise, if the supplies from the rear failed to arrive, problems would arise sooner or later.

After everyone in the command room had left, Lorgio began making phone calls one by one, contacting the personnel in the rear and trying to gather another batch of supplies to transport over as quickly as possible.

Yanhuang Empire, Xuanhuang City.

Looking at the latest message delivered to him, Ye Chen couldn't help smiling. "It seems Du Kao is getting anxious too. But that's only natural. They simply can't afford a war of attrition.

"After all, even if they have equipment, don't the soldiers still need to eat?"

Setting down the document in his hand, Ye Chen rose and looked at the enormous world map behind him.

At this moment, the red representing the Yanhuang Empire had nearly dyed the entire map red.

"Two years have passed. The military training should end now. Continuing any longer wouldn't serve much purpose."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen said calmly, "Yuan Lan, order the Kunpeng Squadron to load the Star No. 2 Weapon and head to the European continent. This war, which has dragged on for years, should end."

"Yes!"

Yuan Lan, who was standing not far behind him, immediately went down to make the arrangements.

Half a month later.

Ye Chen stood in the sky above the European continent, looking at the "lights of ten thousand homes" below in silence.

At that moment, he sensed a gaze. He instantly followed it and looked over. On the summit of a mountain range below, an unmistakably Eastern face had appeared.

Seeing this, Ye Chen thought for a moment. The only Eastern-faced people who could appear here at a time like this were probably Du Kao's people.

He simply didn't know what Du Kao meant by sending someone here now.

As he pondered, Ye Chen's figure descended to the mountain range below, where he looked at A Jie.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Ye Chen before him, A Jie respectfully clasped his hands in salute. "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am A Jie. This time, I have come under the orders of General Du Kao—"

"You said your name is A Jie?!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen couldn't help looking the man over with a strange expression.

Now that he looked closely, aside from his long hair and somewhat archaic manner of speaking, this A Jie's face really did resemble the great con man A Jie from his memories.

Across from him, Ye Chen's words left A Jie utterly bewildered. What was wrong with his name being A Jie? Was it a strange name?

Looking at A Jie before him, Ye Chen said with a faint, amused smile, "I also know someone named A Jie. And that person was a renowned con man. So when I heard your name was A Jie, I was a little surprised."

Hearing this, A Jie began thinking secretly. A con man named A Jie? That person sounds a lot like me. Wait, could this guy be talking about me?!

At that thought, A Jie immediately saw Ye Chen's faintly amused gaze. His heart instantly confirmed that Ye Chen really did know him.

"What did Du Kao send you here to say?"

Hearing Ye Chen's voice, A Jie hurriedly returned to his senses. "I mainly came to deliver a communicator to Your Majesty. General Du Kao has been busy with official matters, so he was unable to come personally..."

As he spoke, A Jie took out a special communicator. With a light tap, it projected an image into the air, and the person in the projection was none other than Du Kao.

After doing this, A Jie walked off to the side and waited at a distance.

Ignoring A Jie, Ye Chen looked at Du Kao on the screen. This was the first time he had seen Du Kao in this world.

Well, how should he put it? The sight was somewhat awkward.

After all, the Du Kao in his memories wore modern clothing. The Du Kao before him now had long hair and was dressed in ancient robes. Combined with that face that looked as though the entire world owed him eighty million, the sight was even more awkward.

An absurd thought flashed through his mind and vanished. Ye Chen looked at Du Kao. "Du Kao, the war fanatic of the De Nuo Civilization ten thousand years ago... Am I wrong?"

"Haha, it seems Your Majesty truly knows a great deal about the affairs of the universe. That is correct. I was once a general of the De Nuo Civilization.

"But everything in the past vanished along with the disappearance of the De Nuo Civilization. Now, I am merely an ordinary Blue Star resident."

Du Kao laughed heartily at Ye Chen's words and admitted it openly.

However, that final sentence was quite thought-provoking.

"Oh? You consider yourself a Blue Star resident? Heh. Give me a reason." Looking at Du Kao across from him, Ye Chen couldn't help sneering.

"After the De Nuo Civilization disappeared, I led the survivors to wander through the stars in search of a new home. Several hundred years ago, I arrived at Blue Star. After seeing it, I came to love this place deeply and took the initiative to integrate into it. I have never once thought of harming the people of Blue Star.

"Moreover, from the Tang Dynasty onward, I have served as an official in every dynasty up to the present, working for the common people of the realm."

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood what the other man had come for.

This man had seen that the tide of history could not be resisted, and thus wanted to integrate into the Yanhuang Empire, just as he had done before. In every dynasty, he had served as an official while borrowing the power of that dynasty.

What Ye Chen didn't know was that Du Kao also wanted to use this opportunity to find the nonexistent alien civilization behind the Yanhuang Empire.

After hearing what Du Kao had said, Ye Chen looked at him, while Du Kao quietly looked back, waiting for Ye Chen's response.

"Du Kao, the other dynasties may have acknowledged your identity, but don't you know that with each new emperor comes a new court?

"Moreover, how can the sword of the former dynasty slay the officials of the present dynasty?

"So I do not accept your reason."

Hearing this, Du Kao wasn't surprised in the slightest. After all, he had anticipated this long ago. And if Ye Chen had agreed so easily, Du Kao would have been even less at ease.

Du Kao then said, "I know Your Majesty rejects our identities. But over the past several hundred years, we have united with the people of this world and had children. We can be said to have completely integrated into this world.

"I only ask that Your Majesty give us a chance. In return, we are willing to offer Your Majesty a set of technological data as payment."

A Jie, who was standing in the distance, heard this and immediately walked over. He took out some more documents and a device containing stored information, then handed them to Ye Chen.

Seeing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, As expected of that old fox Du Kao, who has lived for ten thousand years. He even prepared the rent in advance.
