Chapter 308: Escape (2/2)
”It's the Ye family!” Said Shi Chongming with joy, ”But...” His face tightened right away, ”They seemed to be heading Guilar... what was happening there, that the Ye family would send such a huge army...?”
”Ye family?” Rui Bing was choked, ”Ye... Ye...”
...
... ...
Feng Wuqing, Duo Huang and Ye Bei led their own underlings and chased the group desperately. The strength demonstrated by those Jie experts had convinced them to even consider about attacking in a No-fly zone. The 3 teams only hoped they would not lose the Jie experts for now, although fortunately the Jie experts seemed to be slowing down, as their distance did not increase.
A No-fly zone about 300 kilometers was rather distant to be passive. Feng Wuqing and her mates were wondering if they could deploy their mechs now. ”No, I don't think that's right. It would be really bad...” They agreed on the opinion and scrapped the idea.
The landscape was tiring ahead, as it was no longer flat, rather there were slopes, even a few hills too.
The Jie experts had already entered the area and submerged into the valley. ”No! You aren't going away!” Feng Wuqing and the mates panicked as they ran even faster.
Ye Bei and his own underlings were ahead, thanks to their well-built physique as required by their family. *Beep* Ye Bei received a message from Ye Qin - We have entered Lunaris, coming soon. ”Good!” Ye Bei was overjoyed.
The flocks headed into the valley. The Jie experts might be strong, but there were merely 20 of them, and we have at least 300 men on our side. It would be a daydream to capture the Jie experts without our mechs, but it also would be a joke if the Jie experts wanted to annihilate us.
I would love to have a one-on-one with those Jie experts, it would be fantastic if they stopped chickening out and turned back like a man. That is too what we desired in the first place - to cling to them.
Ye Bei and his allies were well-prepared so no fear, no worries.
But after they got into the valley, they changed their mind.
They were welcomed by 10 teams of hundred men army standing still in formation wordlessly. The atmosphere was frightening, as their mask showed an emotionless cruelty.
Ye Bei, Feng Wuqing and Duo Huan flinched.
They quickly turned back to have a glance, which then they realized a few silhouettes were circulating at the exit.
Luring the foes into trap - that was the simple yet effective strategy Ye Chong came up with, as somehow that instinct he grew up with back on Trash Planet was coming back to him and guiding him out. That was when he still piloted good old Winnie with that poor piloting skill of his, despite of which he still fought on, bravely.
And in his cold eyes, those foes in a flock about 600 to 700 were nothing but those preys he once hunted back on Trash Planet.
”Charge,” briefly he spelled the commencement.
The air was clouded by countless afterimages, the Sangs finally revealed their deadly fangs again.
This speed! Jie Experts?! ALL of them?! The three aristocrats were in utter grief, as fright filled their eyes begging with mercy. The slaughter happened fairly quick. Compared to those beasts in Archipelago, killing these aristocrats would be a piece of cake. There was no letup from the Sangs however, despite the foes they were fighting being weaklings. The formation was there, so was the strategy, which boosted the efficiency dramatically.
”ARE YOU HUMAN!” Screamed Ye Bei on top of his lungs, ”I KNOW YOU GO BY THE YE FAMILY'S NAME! Don't YOU too, want to know who your PARENTS-” And he was ambushed.
Ye Chong lifted his head straight away, the glow in his eyes shook like his will.
Parents... Parents? What a foreign word... If it was not the biology lesson Shang had with him, he would have assumed he never had any parent. He only remembered his Papa, but never once Papa had mentioned anything about his parents.
He knew it, he knew it well, that those words of rage coming from Ye Bei was for no one else than him.
He knew he went by the Ye family's name. His name was Ye Chong. Wait... Did that person know something? He should know something! Thought Ye Chong as he looked at the ambush... And Ye Bei was there, on the ground, no longer mobile, no longer could word his rage, no longer able to spell out the past of Ye Chong.
The war ended quickly. It happened to quick it did not feel like a war, ”Like a street fight maybe.” Laughed Ye Chong, realizing how ridiculous he was being unfocused by some triviality. The only entity I would care... would probably be Mu Shang, that was what I thought. It seemed like I was wrong.
He on his throne, looked at the Sangs repositioning themselves back into their formation, their eyes were bloodshot, their breath was frantic as the wild.
It was a problem, Ye Chong thought.
As long as they could not withdraw their bloodthirstiness as soon as the necessary fight had been conducted, they would be forever aimed by the enemies, they would be that bullseyes in the war field, that spotlight in the public. Nothing on them was low-profiled, which Ye Chong could not tolerate. He just wished to expand his forces in the dark, to a point where he could at least stand alone in this world.
He was small, he was insignificant, as he stood in a boundless new world of unknown. The idea of heading back to the 5 major galaxies in search of Mu Shang had already become a tale, told by a fool.
The Sangs were great assistance, yet they were poor - finance-wise and standard-wise, yes they were impeccable fighters, but their skills were mere brute force exerted crudely. They could not hide their nature, so were the Collisions they piloted, which travelled so uniquely everyone on the road would look at them inevitably. Ye Chong did not even dare to deploy the Collisions to hasten their travel.
The Sangs were great force, but they were one force that could not be deployed on a whim. Once the Collisions were exposed, Ye Chong knew what he had summoned from the defensive He Yue galaxy.
Ye Chong gave a nod to Sang Fan, who understood his intended order immediately, as he ordered everyone to deploy Collision and get into the cabin. To be frank, Collisions - despite being unnecessarily eye-catching - were the perfect tool to make a runaway, due to its anti-detection ability as well as its superior speed.
Piloted the Collisions, they zoomed away from the scene.
