Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams

Chapter 948 - 564: Talent Upgrade, Cooperation with the Ancient Empire (Part 2)

The bodies of several imperial soldiers are mixed with the iron debris of mechanical soldiers.

The pockmarked wilderness seems to welcome a rare tranquility, with white-gray smoke drifting toward the sky.

And amid this scene, movement can be seen coming from the direction of the Imperial Fortress.

Buzz!!

The Iron Curtain light shield connecting the Sky Dome quietly withdraws partially, revealing a passage several meters wide in the menacing alloy giant gate.

Whoosh!!

Several gray-black flying devices burst forth, swiftly flying across the sky.

"Oh?"

Pandor looked slightly cautious, shielding his side.

Slightly shaking his head, Chen Feng indicated there was no need for concern.

Buzz!

Eventually, after a moment of waiting.

Several gray-black flying devices arrived nearby, gradually slowing and landing.

The roaring airflow stirred the dust, visible magnetic light spreading to form a blue light shield.

As the cabin doors opened, seven or eight burly Transformed People appeared in succession, leaping to the ground in a defensive stance.

Additionally, armored vehicles and tanks drew near, like ground shields spanning the battlefield junction, guarding against attacks from Taiduo Country’s forces.

"Seems a big figure has arrived."

The Star Spirit whispered softly, detecting through scans that the power levels of these Transformed People were not low.

The weakest among them were of Sixth Order level, and there was even a Legendary among them.

The tactical defense setup was very coordinated, capable of simultaneously blocking both aerial and ground assaults.

Thud thud.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed.

Figures dressed in brown military coats appeared, stepping in military boots out of the cabin doors.

The leading figure was somewhat aged, his expression stern, with shoulder epaulets bearing two general stars.

As he came forth, he revealed a stiff smile and extended his hand proactively.

"Greetings, Flame User."

"I am Xu Lishan, the chief commander of Fortress No.7."

His tone was amicable, causing Chen Feng to raise an eyebrow slightly.

He hadn’t expected the fortress’s highest-ranking officer to appear personally.

After all, this was still a battlefield, and unpredictability loomed.

"Ha, if not for your intervention, saving Fortress No.7."

"I might have long been a corpse by now."

He explained proactively, expressing gratitude.

Listening, Chen Feng gently nodded and then frankly shook hands with him.

During this, Perception detected a stir, seeing behind the other’s people’s complex expressions.

There were both gratitude and awe.

Additionally, there were deeply hidden vigilance and caution.

Evidently, his status as a mysterious wanted offender, combined with the battlefield circumstances, elicited some fear and concern.

"Fire is indiscriminate."

"This is not the place for discussion; might I invite the Flame User to the fortress?"

High-level lord named Xu Linhai extended the invitation, surrounding eyes quietly observed Chen Feng’s expression.

Calm and unperturbed.

"Let’s go."

Chen Feng said, taking the initiative to move toward the flying device.

Pandor at his side grimaced at the crowd before following suit.

Witnessing this, the two appeared confident and unhindered, resembling casual visitors.

Xu Lishan, the imperial general, regained his composure, ceasing probes.

Buzz!

Finally, several imperial flying devices took to the sky once more, returning to the fortress.

The vast battlefield became unusually quiet, with white-gray smoke still drifting in the air.

Embers within the rock debris continued to burn, while each fortress dispatched cleanup teams, combing the battlefield and searching for the injured.

Witnessing the Ancient Empire’s gesture of welcoming Chen Feng.

Taiduo Country’s fortress remained silent throughout, surprisingly refraining from interference.

Even the defense system had unknowingly heightened its alertness.

....

Buzz!

Ten minutes later.

Amidst the buzzing of airflow, the flying device landed.

The alloy gate of the Imperial Fortress slowly closed, followed by sounds of discussions and cooperation.

"Flame User, words can’t express our gratitude for you aiding us."

"If you have any requests, feel free to ask."

The command table inside the fortress was quite large, spanning seven or eight meters.

Glancing toward the source of the voice, one could see the wall opposite filled with figures, all high-ranking members of the Imperial Fortress.

Among them were legion commanders, imperial nobles, advanced lords, and Legendary Transformed People responsible for security.

Under the glaring light, it was evident that most were of yellow skin tone, black hair and eyes, resembling the people from Red Country.

A mixture of curious and wary gazes was present, and Chen Feng could sense their goodwill and vigilance.

After accepting Xu Lishan’s invitation, he smoothly completed the initial cooperation step.

Everything naturally progressed after.

Upon entering, he engaged in negotiations over the corresponding conditions, seeking the rewards he was due.

"Since that’s the case...."

Glancing around the group, Chen Feng gently nodded and provided a list.

It was the result of discussions with the Star Spirit during the journey.

Half consisted of advanced potions he needed, similar to the Origin of Life, to expedite Divine Transformation.

The remainder included repair materials needed for the Wind Raider, and advanced metals for Steel Bones growth.

"Oh? These things?"

A Transformed Person accepted the list, taking it across the metallic command table.

Eyes followed, including those of Xu Lishan and other high-ranking members.

Their initial reactions were fairly normal, mainly nodding.

Gradually, upon seeing numerous listed items and precious resources.

"Origin of Life? That might be tricky."

"High-level Energy Potions, apparently there’s not much left in inventory?"

Murmurs of difficulty subtly echoed, whether intentionally or not, audibly reaching Chen Feng.

The expressions of the senior figures of the Imperial Fortress visibly changed, showing frowns or helplessness.

Ultimately, a middle-aged man in a khaki trench coat, referred to as a high-level lord, inquired.

"Flame User, the advanced potions and resources you request exceed our fortress inventory and might require reporting to the Empire for allocation from the Royal Capital."

"Considering the substantial quantities, assembly might be challenging in the short term; what do you...."

Amidst his questioning voice, all eyes turned to Chen Feng.

Without reply, Chen Feng simply picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip.

The atmosphere turned awkwardly silent, yet the inquiring high-level lord seemed unaware and continued reviewing the list, asking further.

"We comprehend your needs, given your status as an Awakener, requiring such resources for personal enhancement and ability development."

"However, regarding materials like Titan Alloy and advanced Rainbow Iron, strategic metals, and certain specialized devices for vessel repairs.... "

"These items, what do you intend to use them for?"

He spoke candidly, staring at Chen Feng, a hidden vigilance in his eyes.

The other commanders remained quiet, yet their gazes subtly converged on Chen Feng, seeking an answer.

In response.

Boom!!

The ground trembled, the fortress quaking.

Pandor stepped forward, his three-meter burly body towering like a mountain over everyone.

"Give it if you’re gonna give it, stop dawdling like a woman."

"What, want a fight? If it weren’t for my master intervening, you’d have died eight hundred times over!"

He scolded bluntly, without restraint.

The aggressive words pierced like swords into hearts, causing confronting Legendary Transformed People and opposing fortress seniors to alter expressions.

Some turned red-faced in shame.

Others furrowed brows, feeling embarrassed.

With the fortress crisis resolved, unsound thoughts arose among some.

Observing all this, Xu Lishan, as the chief commander, sighed deeply before waving a hand, signaling the opposing Transformed People to step back.

"Despite directness, this individual speaks truth."

"Without Flame User’s aid, we’d long have perished, become disgraced imperial criminals."

"Rationally and emotionally, regardless of what requests Flame User makes, efforts should be made to fulfill them as gratitude.... Even if beyond us, reporting to the Royal Capital, the Emperor should decide."

His aged voice resonated, and the previously questioning high-level lord furrowed his brow, ultimately refraining from retorting further.

Witnessing this, Pandor coldly huffed.

For Chen Feng....

"I would ask Flame User to wait as we report to the Emperor."

Xu Lishan’s voice came from the opposite side, but Chen Feng ignored it, instead setting his water cup down and glancing across.

The crowd was stunned, subconsciously following his gaze.

In the next instant, magnetic light gathered, invisible waves of authority descended.
