Why not imagine yourself as the Blue Planet Lord?
Too far-fetched.
Better to keep your feet on the ground, step by step, slowly develop.
*************
In the forest, inside the giant armored vehicle.
A hundred people or so still slept soundly, oblivious to everything happening outside, as if forming a team to play mahjong with Granpa Zhou.
Whew~
Lu Xun reverted to normal form, donned his clothes, then phased in.
Sitting back in his seat.
Then, with a "snap," he snapped his fingers.
Buzz~
The Nightmare effect lifted, and everyone gradually awoke.
Afterward, Lu Xun used Truth-Telling Techniques again to alter their mory of the past few minutes.
Ensuring everything was seamless, without leaving any loopholes, before lifting the consciousness control.
"The battle is over!"
"What a brilliant fight, the three Saint Kings of the pirates were all taken down, served them right!"
"It was quite thrilling, thanks to Senior Dragon King, or the outco of this battle would have been uncertain."
"Senior Dragon King saved twice! When I get back, I must build a shrine for you, sir!"
...
The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices echoing inside the vehicle.
Zhang Xinghai, Ding Xuezhu, and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
War is truly terrifying; thankfully, the crisis has passed.
"Alas, it's all my fault for being too weak. In a war of this level, I couldn't do anything, just pinned my hopes of survival on others." Beside him, a combatant looked troubled, sighing.
He was a combatant in the team; protecting teammates is his mission, but he couldn't even protect himself, a truly sad story.
"Who isn't?" Lu Xun shared the sentint, nodding in agreent and remarking with a wistful face, "I'm too weak, lack strength. Watching as companions faced dire situations, helpless and powerless, filled with frustration. Alas..."
"It's alright, Xiao Lu, combat isn't your area of expertise," Ding Xuezhu comforted softly, "You are a scholar, not a warrior, no need to bla yourself. Scholars never define strength by personal bravery. Our Human Federation's anti-Saint King-level cha tactics, and even stronger Strategic chas, all stem from scholars' wisdom. You're a genius, with boundless prospects, do not underestimate yourself."
"Mm." Lu Xun nodded heavily.
"Alright, everyone, the battle has concluded; congratulations are in order." The rcenary officer stood up, smiling at the group, "You should be heading ho now, this is the perfect ti."
"Do we still need to stick to the original plan and take submarines to other coastal cities?" Ding Xuezhu quickly asked.
"No need anymore, the battle is over, the pirates have been wiped out." The officer waved his hand, smiling, "I've already arranged a direct flight from here. Head ho sooner, and we can knock off earlier too."
The spirit of the working man.
The people of the rcenary Empire are pretty decent.
At least they didn't slack off; they genuinely fought the pirates, making significant sacrifices.
Including the four Saint King-level Mages, they weren't loafing either.
130 billion is indeed pricey, but their professional attitude fully justified their salary.
No wonder rcenaries could grow and beco an acknowledged large nation.
They have substance!
Boom!
Powerful airflow descended from the sky, flattening forests in its wake.
A giant military aircraft sprayed particle stream, landing vertically, stopping right at the bunker entrance.
The cabin door opened, and the ladder was extended.
"Yay!"
"Howard bound!"
"Hahaha!"
...
Everyone cried tears of joy, bursting into laughter, so with tears of excitent slipping from the corners of their eyes.
The nail-bitingly dangerous situation, at last, was weathered through.
A catastrophe survived, future blessings ensured.
The air instantly brimd with post-survival jubilation.
"Let's go, I'll see you on board, make it quick."
The officer opened the armored vehicle's door, grinning: "Everyone, truth be told, my big wedding is tomorrow, I planned to head back ho and get married after this battle, so I'm keen to knock off, hope you all understand."
As soon as he finished, suddenly, the entire space fell silent.
Pin-drop silence.
Pairs of eyes filled with dread stared at him.
Brother, such a flag should not be raised!
"Hahaha, don't worry," the officer chuckled, "The battle's finished, nothing to fear anymore."
"Co on, board the plane!"
************
Everyone departed the armored vehicle and boarded the plane.
This aircraft was large, luxurious, with nurous private cabins, even featuring kitchens, and bathrooms.
Lu Xun was called over by Ding Xuezhu; only the two of them were in this cabin.
Soon, all mbers of the expedition team were seated.
After experiencing the nerve-wracking war, everyone was already exhausted, both hungry and weary.
Thus, a beast-eared lady dressed as a flight attendant approached with a nu, offering drinks and food to the team mbers.
Ding Xuezhu ordered a steak and a high-calorie dessert, then handed the nu to Lu Xun: "Order whatever you want, Xiao Lu; the company covers all expenses, don't hold back."
"Mm."
Lu Xun took the nu, viewing it blankly, his mouth twitching subtly.
Because the gluttonous Lillian was loudly clamoring in his ear—
"Wow! I want this fruit salad, please order for , Master!"
"Also, a box of strawberry ice cream."
"Is this chocolate cake? It's so pretty; it looks delicious, order one!"
...
This greedy little fairy.
When Lu Xun was fighting earlier, causing a massive ruckus, she slept just like a dead pig.
