Chapter 664: 661, Moving to the next target – The giant spring eye of Mt. Damavand_1
Seeing Donald Prunt suddenly appearing before him, his iconic blond hair fluttering wildly, Prime Minister Cao Cao hurriedly braked in mid-air, coming to a halt only around a hundred meters away from Prunt.
However, Cao Cao wasn’t surprised by Prunt’s sudden appearance.
The Blue Star monks had known that the Skuru would send reinforcements, but sadly, they hadn’t managed to destroy many of the “Antimatter Rail Cannons”.
But the current situation had unexpectedly changed.
While Cao Cao could slam on his own brakes, the powerful monks in the “Seven Stars Beidou Formation” couldn’t do the same.
After all, they were numerous and created a substantial force, their attack was like an arrow already on the bowstring, ready to be fired.
At their command, a giant stele, bathed in a primordial aura and shining with a golden hue, appeared above Prunt’s head.
Carrying an infinite might, the stele slammed down towards Prunt, almost instantly reaching a spot just above his head.
However, Prunt maintained his composure despite the impending attack.
With a sweep of his left arm, a large semi-transparent blue particle shield unfurled before him.
The shield, as large as a small hill, completely enveloped the base below.
Soon enough, the ancient stele collided with the particle shield.
An astonishing shockwave erupted at the point of impact.
The blinding shockwave rushed out of the Spring Eye and spread outward, devastating the ground for hundreds of kilometers around.
However, the ancient stele did not manage to break the particle shield.
More accurately, it was still quite a distance from succeeding.
From Cao Cao’s perspective, the impact of the stele only caused ripples to spread across the particle shield, nowhere near enough to reach the point of rupture.
He even had a feeling that breaking this particle shield would require at least three such steles striking it simultaneously!
“Your timing is impeccable … goodbye, Prunt,” said Cao Cao, using his sword hilt to prop up a bright blue shield, speaking as he cautiously retreated.
After retreating three kilometers to the edge of the “Seven Stars Beidou Formation”, Prime Minister Cao Cao, while guarding the sixth-level Blue Star monks in the formation, cautiously began to retreat outside the Spring Eye.
It took them about four minutes for all the monks from Blue Star to successfully evacuate the range of the Giant Spring Eye.
And just like that, the massive Spring Eye defense battle ended as abruptly as it had begun.
…
The reason why the Blue Star monks chose to retreat was that they couldn’t deal with Prunt.
Prime Minister Cao Cao’s strength was not even one third of his peak power, and even with the large array of sixth-level monks, plus five seventh level monks including Su Yu, they could only barely match Prunt in strength, they had no spare strength to occupy the Spring Eye.
Moreover, in three hours the Skuru would send another wave of reinforcements, which would unquestionably lead to their defeat.
Thus, left with no choice, the Blue Star monks had to retreat, abandoning their attack on the Spring Eye.
Prunt, watching the people of Blue Star retreat, made no attempt to stop them.
The reason he didn’t stop them was that the area of the Spring Eye was too small for him.
Such a small Spring Eye couldn’t contain his full strength and he would inadvertently fly out of the Spring Eye’s range.
Since the boundary of the Spring Eye was a red line that Skuru simply could not cross, he had no choice but to let the people of Blue Star go.
…
Although the defense of the Giant Spring Eye ended abruptly, the Blue Star monks did not feel dispirited.
This was just a step in their plan, the real arduous battle was yet to come.
After leaving the range of the Giant Spring Eye, the monks quickly climbed onto their supersonic jets one after another and headed rapidly towards their next target.
Su Yu, Alyssa, Tina, and Cat Morning Star were on the same supersonic jet.
As soon as they had taken their seats in the cabin, Su Yu began briefing them on their next destination.
At that moment, a large electronic map about a person’s height was hanging on the cabin wall in front of them, and Su Yu took out an electronic stylus, drawing a circle around the northern part of the Iranian plateau, by the southern shore of the Caspian Sea.
“Alyssa, Tina, Morning Star, this is our next target, the ‘Giant Spring Eye of Mount Damavand’ located in the north of the Iranian Plateau.
The altitude of this spring eye is 5671 meters. In this battle, we, along with senior Yang Jian, will lead the attack, while Prime Minister Cao Cao will look after the rear.”
“Yes, alright.” Alyssa gently stroked Morning Star in her arms and replied.
Tina glanced at the map and nodded, “It’s close to our current location! It doesn’t look far on the map.”
Su Yu laughed and said, “Yes, the actual distance is only around 800 kilometers, we should reach there in 10 minutes if we use the supersonic jet.”
Then he sat down between Tina and Alyssa, wrapped his left arm around Tina’s shoulders, and his right arm around Alyssa.
He said gratefully, “I can’t thank you enough for the hard work you’ve put in these past few days, constantly bustling around for the affairs of our world!”
“No need to thank us.” Tina leaned into Su Yu’s arm, looked at him, and gently said, “Your concerns are our concerns, there’s no need to thank.”
Alyssa reached out a finger and lightly poked Su Yu’s face, “You…but we haven’t experienced many battles at all, so it’s not really hard.”
What Alyssa said was the truth.
In the past seven days, they had been traveling with senior Yang Jian to occupy various small spring eyes along the way, encountering no significant resistance, not even a single opponent at the same level. Their primary focus had been on traveling, and as a result, she was still in peak condition.
However, as if suddenly remembering something, Alyssa’s expression dimmed.
Resting her head on Su Yu’s arm, she looked out of the window and sighed, “What worries me the most is my homeland.
It’s been seven days and seven nights in your world, which equates to 84 days in our world! I have no idea how my doppelganger is managing, whether she is able to handle the affairs of the country….”
The game world and the real world are still two different realities, Alyssa had no way of perceiving the state of her doppelganger in the game world.
She had confidence in her doppelganger’s governing abilities, after all, her doppelganger had 1:1 copied her intelligence.
The only concern was her doppelganger’s strength.
Unlike herself, who could activate her ancestor’s power to achieve the peak of the seventh level, the doppelganger’s strength was only at the regular sixth level.
If a power-hungry minister decided to stage a coup… the consequences would be disastrous.
“There’s nothing to worry about, Alyssa.” Su Yu tightened his hold on her arm and gently kissed her forehead, “Remember, the United Government, the relevant departments, and all the players are in the game, they will all help your doppelganger.”
“You’re right.” Alyssa smiled and snuggled closer into Su Yu’s arms.
At that moment, Tina’s face also reflected worry, “84 days… come to think of it, my dad and little sister haven’t seen me in almost three months, and I haven’t left a doppelganger with them, they must miss me, right?”
In the past, when she was in the game world, Tina would go home to see her father and younger sister every two or three days,
Now, not having seen them for 84 days straight, her dad and sister must be worried sick about her.
