"Warning! Energy reserves remain at 20%. Please prepare for evacuation."
A red subtitle popped up in the center of the screen. Taichu, Chen Hongjie, and Chen Duo exchanged glances, all showing helpless expressions.
"There's no other way. Give everyone a little time to make arrangements. Once you're ready, then evacuate!"
Chen Hongjie sighed and used the communication device to issue orders to the other soldiers in the palace.
Originally, the Chen Kingdom already had a very complete energy supply chain, and various Spiritual Qi -gathering Rune Artifacts were scattered throughout the entire country. If it weren't for the appearance of Saint Level expert disrupting the balance of the battlefield, the Chen Kingdom would have been basically invincible.
The entire capital is now besieged, and the energy-supplying magic arrays and Rune Artifacts have been destroyed by Saint Level experts. Therefore, once their energy reserves are depleted to a certain extent, they have no choice but to evacuate.
Although their 20% energy reserves can provide at least a week of defense, they might encounter other unforeseen dangers during the evacuation. For safety's sake, they must leave now.
"Third Uncle, we can't leave! What will happen to the million soldiers in the outer city if we leave?"
Upon hearing Chen Hongjie's order Chen Duo's eyes reddened, and crystal tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Alright! As a subordinate, your job is simply to follow orders. Don't bring your personal emotions onto the battlefield."
Chen Hongjie was also feeling very upset, but he knew very well that he had to remain rational at this time.
Taichu, like a curious child, observed the conversation between the two with great interest. She didn't understand why they were sad. On the battlefield, there are victories and defeats, sacrifices and deaths. Isn't that normal?
"According to our evacuation plan, we can only take a maximum of 20% of the wealth in the palace, while the rest will become enemy assets."
Do you require me to destroy them? This would ensure that our interests are maximized.
After a while, Taichu offered his opinion.
No! No need, just let them take it!
I believe that it won't be long before we reclaim everything, with interest.
Chen Hongjie shook his head, rejecting Taichu's suggestion.
Every brick and tile of the capital was earned by the sweat of the people of the Chen Kingdom. Although robots contributed to this achievement, they cannot overshadow the hard work of the common people.
In every world, there is a strange phenomenon: those responsible for creation are always at the bottom of the social structure, while the rulers at the top rely on war to destroy everything.
Chen Mu was once a programmer, a frontline employee responsible for creation. He understood how hard-won creation was, so he always advocated against using war to destroy the masterpieces of the common people. This idea naturally spread to Chen Hongjie as well.
"You humans have such strange ideas!"
Taichu thought he had found a loophole in Chen Hongjie's plan, but he received such an answer, so he could only mutter to himself in frustration.
After a while, seeing that everyone else was almost ready, Chen Hongjie immediately pressed a large red button on the rune keyboard.
Hiss... Boom boom boom!
Deep within the palace, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground of an empty plaza. As the crack widened, a massive black warship slowly emerged.
The ' Saint Fighter ' warship is a super warship that Chen Kingdom began building two years ago. As its name suggests, it is a war weapon specifically developed to target Saint Level powerhouses.
The ' Saint Fighter ' is smaller than the previous ' Pioneer ' warship, only a little over 200 meters in size, but its internal space is much larger than that of the Pioneer. This is because the ' Saint Fighter ' uses space compression technology and can accommodate 30,000 to 50,000 people inside, representing another leap forward in the warship technology of the Chen Kingdom.
After the ' Saint Fighter ' flagship emerged, it slowly sailed to the side of the pavilion where Chen Hongjie was and stopped. More than a dozen light strips extended from its hull, connecting to various parts of the palace. Those who wanted to evacuate could follow the light strips and directly enter the warship's interior.
"Hesitation will only lead to trouble. Let's go!"
Seeing that Chen Duo hadn't moved, Chen Hongjie urged her to get up.
Chen Duo glanced hatefully in the direction of the three Heavenly Puppet Sect experts outside, and gritted her teeth, saying, "One day, I will personally destroy the Heavenly Puppet Sect and avenge them!"
Without further ado, she leaped into the band of light and rushed into the interior of the ' Saint Fighter ' flagship.
Chen Hongjie also narrowed his eyes in the direction of the Heavenly Puppet Sect's experts, as if he wanted to imprint this scene in his mind forever.
After everyone who was supposed to evacuate had boarded the warship, he leaped up and flew to the bow of the ' Saint Fighter ' warship, where he then sat down cross-legged.
"Before we leave, let's show them what we're made of one last time!"
The ' Saint Fighter ' warship was like a raging dragon, and Chen Hongjie rode it into the sky, launching an attack on the Heavenly Puppet Sect Master outside.
Saint-Slaying Cannon, fire!
A thick beam of light seemed to pierce through the void, shooting fiercely towards Wang Xian'an.
Wang Xian'an's view was blocked by the palace's array, so he couldn't see what was happening inside. In addition, he had been attacking here for more than ten days, and the people inside the palace had been defending all the time, so he was somewhat complacent.
Suddenly attacked, his reaction was naturally a beat too slow, and he was directly hit by the beam of light and completely engulfed by it.
"Haha, you hit it!"
The people inside the warship shouted excitedly, but their laughter soon faded as a black vortex appeared next to the pillar of light, and Wang Xian'an's figure emerged from it once more.
Although Wang Xian'an's clothes were slightly torn and his aura was much weaker, it was clear that he had only suffered minor injuries and had not broken any bones.
"Very good! You've finally decided to step out of your shells. Elders, make your move!"
After the Saint-Slaying Cannon was fired, the palace's defensive shield was naturally removed. When Wang Xian'an saw the magnificent Chen Kingdom palace, he was like a hungry wolf seeing flesh and blood, his eyes filled with greed.
biu... biu... slap slap slap!
The ' Saint Fighter ' warship opened fire at full power, the dense gunfire deafening, accompanied by invisible and silent laser weapons, posing a considerable threat to the three Sage.
"Attack the head; that's where the firepower is weakest!"
The three Sage were experienced in combat. Although it was their first time facing a warship, they remained calm and quickly located the weakest point in the warship's firepower.
Whoosh!
Holding the Bagua Mirror, Wang Xian'an unleashed a raging inferno that shot towards the center of the warship's bow.
Roar~~!
A golden dragon head materialized and swallowed the flames whole; this was Chen Hongjie's Imperial Dragon Qi.
As the territory of the Chen Kingdom expands, the Imperial Dragon Qi emanating from Chen Hongjie grows stronger day by day. Coupled with his own significant improvement in strength, he is now able to withstand attacks from Sage.
Boom! Snap!
The ' Saint Fighter ' warship was impervious to blades and spears, and its firepower was extremely terrifying. Even though the three Sage possessed overwhelming strength, they were unable to deal with it for a time.
