Chapter 223: The Hundred Members Plan (I)
“Things should be fine now.”
Chen Yiming returned to his temporary residence.
After dealing with the foreigners from the Dawn Knights, he wanted to ask Xie Weilin about it in detail when he walked down the stage. Unexpectedly, the woman had already disappeared.
This made Chen Yiming a little unhappy.
He had made a big contribution, but he did not even receive any thanks in return.
At this moment, in the spacious hall, the television on the wall suddenly broadcasted an international news piece, attracting Chen Yiming’s attention. He instantly forgot about the matter with Xie Weilin.
“A space-travel passage in the southeast of Western Australia has fallen out of control. A large number of people have started to evacuate to the city in the northwest, the largest city in the country, Sydney.”
Unbelievable!
Sydney City was the center of Western Australia’s finance and industry. Its status was equivalent to the capital of Daxia Kingdom. The surrounding space-travel passages were definitely heavily guarded.
The overall strength of Western Australia was definitely inferior to the Daxia Kingdom, but it was not something that ordinary small countries could compare to.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be a problem to gather the strength of the entire country to ensure the stability of the largest city in the country. However, something big had happened.
The war with the otherworld had always been the top priority globally. The large and small countries shared this burden, and they had barely been able to maintain the stalemate all these years.
With a huge amount of resources invested in the military and martial arts, ordinary people would have a tough life. However, they would usually be able to survive.
Compared to those who practiced martial arts at the disciple realm, ordinary people faced less risk. After all, they did not need to leave the city to fight mutant beasts.
Chen Yiming sat down on the sofa and listened intently to the news broadcast.
The female newscaster was wearing a suit and a short skirt. Her hair was tied up behind her head, and not only did she reveal her fine facial features on camera, but she also revealed a pair of long legs.
Indeed, no matter what channel it was, in order to attract attention, there would always be beautiful hosts.
A few minutes later, the news broadcast ended.
Chen Yiming roughly understood the situation that Western Australia was facing.
The exact reason for the fall of the space-travel passage was unknown, but the news announced several deaths. A total of five human experts at the peak of the warrior realm had died, and three divisions of military troops had been wiped out.
As for the number of deaths in the warrior realm at the lower levels, there was no specific number, but it was likely that it would not be small. It was even possible that Western Australia did not dare to announce it.
This was not an ordinary tragedy. The martial arts power of the entire Jiangnan province was probably equivalent to what they had lost.
After his initial surprise, Chen Yiming soon stopped paying attention.
On the blue planet, Western Australia had always been the vanguard of the western countries in suppressing the Daxia Kingdom.
The relationship between the two countries was not good. Coupled with the fact that maritime trade was basically cut off, the rich resources of Western Australia were basically useless to the Daxia Kingdom.
Chen Yiming summoned his martial arts talent panel.
The pitifully few Skill Points on it made him feel uncomfortable.
His swordsmanship talent was his first talent. However, due to various reasons, he had been stuck at Level-2 for a long time, and it had severely affected the speed at which he could achieve the fusion of his internal forces.
“It’s a waste of time to continue staying in Fanghua City.”
Chen Yiming sighed.
The space-travel passage from the otherworld was not far from Fanghua City, but he had a mission to complete.
If he left the city freely, it would be troublesome if the giant steel-spear spiders appeared again and he could not be found.
“In any case, after more than a week of cleanup, the groups of giant steel-spear spiders have long since been wiped out. The remaining spiders should not be a problem for Fanghua City to deal with by themselves,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.
The city guardians rarely took the initiative to leave the city. They prioritized the safety of the city. Therefore, as long as Chen Yiming didn’t leave, the rescue mission would fall on him.
At the thought of this, he could no longer control his urge to leave.
Just as Chen Yiming was about to get up and head to the government office to contact the higher-ups of Fanghua City, a call came in. It was from Xie Weilin, who had left without saying goodbye the last time.
On the phone, Xie Weilin passed on the message that Chen Yiming was invited to a banquet. The organizers were none other than the higher-ups of Fanghua City.
Chen Yiming had the intention to meet them anyway, so he agreed to it.
…
In a stronghold more than 10 kilometers away in the wilderness outside Jinzhou City,
the flag of the Dawn Knights fluttered in the wind.
Dozens of mutant beasts of different sizes were wandering back and forth in the grass. Three of them were more than 20 meters long, and every time they moved, the ground would shake.
These mutant beasts were all tame and were the standard mounts for each member of the knights. In other words, if one were to become enemies with the knights, they would have to face the combined attacks of humans and mutant beasts.
Within a kilometer of the stronghold, members of the knights were standing guard and patrolling the area. No one was allowed to approach.
An old man with a bandage around his eyes and two other middle-aged men sat down in a circle on the grass.
The old man with the injured eyes was called Brian. He was the one who had been injured by Chen Yiming not long ago.
“Austin, what did the regiment commander say?”
one of the middle-aged men asked anxiously.
He was muscular and half-naked. On his back was a black cloak, and on his feet were a pair of metal combat boots.
“Charles, things are not looking good. The commander has replied that he wants us to deal with the problem ourselves.”
Austin put down the special communicator in his hand and shook his head.
He was nearly three meters tall and was the largest of the three. He had the aura of a mutant beast in human form, but at this moment, he was frowning and could not hide the worry on his face.
“With just the three of us, I’m afraid we can’t do anything about that young man.”
Brian, the elder, sighed.
Chen Yiming had easily injured the old man, Brian. As a result, even though he had joined forces with the other two captains of the Dawn Knights who had mastered the transformation of internal force,
and had the support of their mutant beast mounts, the three of them still did not dare to act rashly.
The reason why the leader of the knights did not personally enter Jiangnan province was mainly because of the terrifying achievements of the masked man.
To be able to defeat two mutant beasts at the peak of the warrior realm alone was something only a martial arts master could do.
In addition, what the Dawn Knights had done in Jiangnan province was not a good thing. How could their commander dare to take the risk of being targeted?
“The person who injured you can’t possibly stay in the city forever. I think we can ambush that person once he is outside,” Charles said indignantly.
If the reputation of the Dawn Knights could not be defended, how could they attract the young geniuses of the Daxia Kingdom to join them?
“The true destination of the knights is Western Australia. The regiment commander should have thought this way as well. Of course, it’s good to have cannon fodder, but it doesn’t really matter if we don’t.
In addition, in my opinion, the two of you combined probably won’t be able to deal with that young man. There’s no need for us to increase the number of casualties.”
The old man, Brian, reminded him.
Those soul-stirring eyes were still reflected in the old man’s heart. They had even become a psychological barrier in his heart, making him extremely unwilling to face the young man again.
“Is that young man really that strong? Could it be that you were too old and careless?”
Charles voiced his doubts.
He was not a martial arts practitioner at the middle or lower levels who had not seen anything of the outside world. Other than the mysterious master realm, he had never seen someone in his twenties who was like the description that Brian had given.
“If you’re not afraid of death, go ahead,” Brian said unhappily.
He would not believe it either if he had not seen it with his own eyes, but the truth was what he had witnessed personally. He had to admit it even if he did not want to.
Charles started to argue, but Austin cut him off.
“Brian, you were the one who took the initiative to give up on seeking revenge. Don’t regret it later,”
Austin spoke in a low voice.
“Then let’s go,” Brian shook his head and replied.
