Chapter 168 - 168: Azure Sky Squad! Arrival at Blacklight Base! (2)
Bai Xu was experienced in handling matters and immediately changed the topic. “Sir, don’t you know that these Descenders are your subordinates?” lie realized that Wang Chen did not care too much about the lives of those Descenders. In addition, these new Descenders were of mixed races, so he probed.
“I am a loner.” Wang Chen shook his head.
He glanced at everyone and said, “As long as you don’t go too far, I won’t meddle in your business.”
“Of course not. We just need some new members.”
“Then, do as you please. Just now, you mentioned a base. 1 believe you don’t mind if 1 go back with you, do you?” Wang Chen said with a smile.
“Of course not. It’s our honor to be able to travel with you,” Bai Xu said.
What a joke. Wang Chen was a terrifying existence that could beat all of them with one hand. Even if Wang Chen announced on the spot that he would take them in as his subordinates, they could only accept it.
A battle without any hope of victory was completely unnecessary.
Then, the members of the Azure Sky Squad got busy as they gathered the surviving Descenders.
“Everyone, we are the Azure Sky Squad from the Blacklight Base. If you are willing to join us, we can bring you back to the base safely. Of course, you may also refuse, but you have to know that this is dangerous bug clan territory.
“With your strength, less than one-tenth of you will remain after crossing a thousand kilometers to reach the base alive.
“Make your choice as soon as possible. We don’t have much time to waste. Those who want to join, come over here.”
With that, Bai Xu quietly waited for the rookies’ response.
However, the situation disappointed him once again.
“Your Excellency Wang Chen, can you please help us? A thousand kilometers shouldn’t be too far for you, right?” Bluefin said in a deep voice.
Wang Chen had brought them over 160,000 kilometers, so a mere 1,000 kilometers was nothing.
“I can send you there.” Wang Chen nodded.
Most of the ordinary Descenders were very poor, and their gains from the last battle were also squeezed dry by the expensive train fare. Therefore, Wang Chen didn’t mind being kind and sending them off.
“Forgive me for being presumptuous, but there are so many people here. How are you going to send them away?” Bai Xu was a little surprised. There were thousands of people here. They had large flying ships, but Wang Chen had nothing.
“I can open a portal. You can come with me,” Wang Chen said.
When Bai Xu heard this, his expression immediately stiffened.
In that case, they would have to find another reason to get these new Descenders to join them. After all, with Wang Chen around, they couldn’t use violence.
“Everyone, even so, 1 still suggest that you join us. Not all Descenders in the base are as friendly as us. Many weak Descenders will be treated as slaves.” “What do we get out of it?” a Descender asked.
The weak needed to stick together for warmth, so they didn’t mind joining the Azure Sky Squad.
Bai Xu glanced at Wang Chen beside him, but he still didn’t draw a clear picture. He directly said, “We can only assure you that you will be treated as equal members of the squad. As for the rest, we cannot guarantee it.”
Soon, more than half of the Descenders chose to join the Azure Sky Squad. However, most of these Descenders were relatively weak. As for the experts like Bluefin and Kraft, they still wanted to act alone.
However, Bai Xu was not worried. With their help, as long as they could survive, the Descenders’ strength would rapidly increase and become the mainstay of the battle. If they were lucky enough, they might even be able to produce a few experts.
Then, they followed the members of the Azure Sky Squad to their airship.
“This is our Serenity, a Rank 6 Flying Ship!” Bai Xu proudly introduced.
It was a flat flying ship that looked like a ray and was more than 300 meters long. It was obvious that it possessed extremely powerful concealment abilities. From afar, it seemed to have completely fused with the surface of the ground.
The Azure Sky Squad was not stingy. Even those who were unwilling to join them were allowed to board the ship. Anyway, they didn’t need to fly too far.
“The base is in the northwest direction.” Bai Xu stood beside Wang Chen and pointed him in a direction.
“Then, you have ten seconds to pass through the portal,” Wang Chen said.
Bai Xu waved at the people on the flying ship, and the engine of the vessel immediately roared.
Light blue flames spurted out from the bottom of the huge flying ship. It floated in the air, ready to attack.
“We’re ready!” Bai Xu said to Wang Chen.
“Alright!” Wang Chen nodded.
His heart stirred. He gathered his energy and opened a portal in the northwest direction. The distance of the portal kept changing. Soon, Wang Chen found the target location.
On the towering mountain that was cut in half, there was a huge war fortress. There were all kinds of terrifying heavy weapons on the silver city walls, and the defense was tight.
“That’s the place,” Bai Xu said.
Seeing this, Wang Chen no longer extended the distance. Instead, he enlarged the portal.
Soon, a huge portal that was hundreds of meters tall was opened.
Although he did not think that Wang Chen was lying, Bai Xu was still shocked when he saw such a huge portal with his own eyes.
“Go on!” Wang Chen shouted. He did not want to open the portal again.
Serenity was immediately activated, turned into a silver light, and rushed into the portal.
Wang Chen and Bai Xu also quickly rushed over.
“A thousand over kilometers in an instant. Your skill is really useful.” Bai Xu was very envious. If they had this skill, it would be much easier to kill monsters!
Wang Chen smiled but didn’t say anything. Even if these guys had this skill, they couldn’t use it like him.
Opening a large portal would require hundreds of thousands of Energy points, which was not something that anyone could afford.
Blacklight Base did not have a ground entrance, so it could only be entered from above. Serenity flew straight into Blacklight Base. Wang Chen and Bai Xu followed.
Dozens of battleships of various shapes and sizes were parked in the huge spaceport. The hangar was bustling with people.
However, many Descenders were surrounding Serenity because it had suddenly appeared above Blacklight Base, which made them very curious.
“Everyone, make way. My people are coming down.” Bai Xu stepped forward and chased the crowd away. He was powerful enough to become the leader of a squad.
Only then did the Descenders clear out an area.
“Captain Bai, everyone is curious about how you got here,” a Descender asked.
“We were lucky to meet an expert who came through the portal.” Bai Xu did not hide anything. If these Descenders thought that they had mastered some new technology, the situation might turn south.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed Descender quickly discovered that Wang Chen looked like a stranger.
“An expert? Do you mean him?” someone asked.
“That’s right, it’s me.” Wang Chen nodded. He couldn’t hide this matter anyway.
At this moment, the cabin door opened, and the Descenders came down from Serenity one after another.
Looking at the weak Descenders, the veteran Descenders immediately understood.
“The Azure Sky Squad is really lucky to have encountered a new batch of Descenders.”
“Looks like the Horned Beastmen are going to be decimated by the Azure Sky Squad!”
“Not necessarily. These guys look ordinary!”
“In any case, there’s no doubt that the strength of the Azure Sky Squad has increased greatly.”
The Descenders discussed animatedly. They were very envious.
Thousands of troops were enough to change the situation at Blacklight Base. “Hmph! Some stinky fish, stupid lizards, and hairless monkeys. What use could they have?”
At this moment, a very discordant voice boomed.
A group of red-skinned monsters with horns on their heads walked out from the crowd. All of them had ferocious faces and tall figures. They looked very scary.
It was the Horned Beastmen Descenders.
“Fang Jin, show some respect,” Bai Xu’s expression was slightly cold as he spoke rudely.
“What? Did I say something wrong?” The leading Horned Beastman said disdainfully, “Isn’t this guy beside you a hairless monkey like you?”
“I don’t care about your matters, but you’re in the wrong for dragging me into this!” Wang Chen sneered and walked forward..
