My sister is the daughter of destiny

"The aliens in the other seven advancement cities have also withdrawn their troops," Li Yanwu returned to Tianyu Advance City after the military alliance meeting. He handed a report to everyone and sighed lightly.

Lu Ningfeng and others also read it and were all silent.

During the city defense phase, the seven advancing cities fought back and forth with the alien races, and the sacrifices in this phase were not too great.

However, when the reinforcements from the major legions arrived, the alien races all sent more troops and started a tug-of-war with the major legions.

This battle only ended now, and ended with a deputy legion commander at the peak of the holy realm in the water area going berserk and severely injuring a peak alien general.

The aliens in the direction of the water city had no choice but to retreat, and the tug-of-war in the other six directions also stopped.

This tug-of-war was the one in which all the armies suffered the greatest losses.

Although the water area fought most ferociously and with the strongest momentum, the ones who suffered the greatest casualties were precisely the Kan Army in the water area.

The number of casualties in the Venerable Realm and the Dao Entering Realm exceeded 60,000, nearly twice that of the Qian Army.

What’s even more fatal is that three powerful saints died in the Kan army in this battle!

Although the casualties from other armies included as many as 40,000 to 50,000 men, no powerful saints died.

As for the Qian army, because the World-Swallowing Ape ordered a retreat, the battlefield that was originally the most brutal became the battlefield with the least casualties.

Three hundred thousand.

But only half a day.

More than 300,000 humans were killed in the battle, and millions were injured.

The result of the battle is that the human race will soon build eight aerospace fortresses in the Tianxu battlefield.

The local war between the two ethnic groups opened a new chapter.

Without touching the bottom line of the alien races and forcing them to start a full-scale war, we have bought more time and established eight bridgeheads. This battle is not a loss in any way.

"The headquarters roughly speculates on the following three reasons why the aliens withdrew their troops and allowed us to build the Advance City."

"First, the weakness of the Hundred-foot Heavy Artillery is obvious. As long as we can imprison or block the chaotic spiritual energy on the battlefield where the Advance City is located, the threat of the heavy artillery can be greatly reduced."

"Although we have cracked the spiritual power blockade by the Black Cloud Beast Corps this time, before the next round of war begins, the aliens will definitely use new methods to target the Hundred-foot Heavy Artillery. We must be mentally prepared for this."

"Second, the size of the purification team. We have abandoned the old bulky purification vehicles and adopted the Star and Moon Spiritual Energy Box to load spiritual energy as the energy source of the heavy artillery. In the absence of a constant supply of Spirit Swallowing Clams, the size of the purification team is within their control."

"Third, the establishment of the Advance City represents a change in the offensive and defensive situation. In the past, we attacked and they defended, but now it will be both sides attacking each other. There will definitely be small groups of alien races constantly invading around the Advance City, which will waste our energy."

Li Yanwu explained.

"In the final analysis, it's still the same set of rules, using various methods to consume the resources of the Tianlan Realm."

Lu Ningfeng said thoughtfully.

"Yes, it is certain that this will be the case for some time to come."

Li Yanwu nodded.

This is naturally the case on the surface.

But it's different in secret.

The Alien Research Institute has begun large-scale cultivation of superior soldier-level Soul-Swallowing Clams, which requires a lot of time.

Each of the major military regions' weapon-refining camps in the military alliance has selected at least one Saint-level weapon-refiner to join the research and development of the Venerable-level heavy artillery, which also requires a lot of time.

Therefore, in this battle, the ultimate goal of the human race has always been to buy time.

……

It was already the afternoon of the second day after the war when Lu Ningfeng and his party returned to the military camp.

"I don't know how everyone is doing."

Lu Ningfeng looked around and found that he, Xiaoxue, Xueqiu, Lu Ziqi, Lu Longcheng, Ye Tianchen, Yang Kai and other friends from the discussion meeting who had joined the Qian Army had suffered serious injuries, but fortunately there were no casualties.

He took out the hundred-foot jade from the Dao Discussion Association from his storage ring.

Discussion group chat:

Feng: Who will participate in the battle this time?

Feng: All those who participated in the battle on the Qianzi Army side are safe.

Wuji: I got some injuries, but it's nothing serious

Yan: I didn’t participate in the war, what happened?

Xiao Yan'er is still in the stage of striving to become a Dao-level alchemist, so she has been studying alchemy in Danbao Pavilion during this period of time.

I was a little surprised to suddenly see Lu Ningfeng utter such a serious word.

Lu Ningfeng gave a brief account of the war, and then the group fell silent for a while.

Shen: All right

Liuli: I'm fine, but many of my people have died...

Lei Wuji, Ao Shen and Feng Liuli were all fine, and Lu Ningfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Kai on the side suddenly answered the Bai Chi Yin call. Judging from the tone of his voice, he was obviously reporting his safety to someone.

[I always feel like something is missing...]

Lu Ningfeng pondered secretly and had a bad feeling.

He looked around again.

Xiaoxue, Xueqiu, Lu Ziqi, Lu Longcheng, Ye Tianchen, Yang Kai, brother-in-law Su Yaoting, and cousin Ning Yuxun were all there.

Xiao Yan'er was in Danbao Pavilion and did not participate in the battle.

Lu Yunsheng was acting as a spy, causing trouble in the rear and did not participate in the war.

Nangong Xinghuo was diving in the East China Sea, so it was inconvenient to communicate with him.

Lei Wuji, Ao Shen and Feng Liuli also reported that they were safe.

No, it seems like someone is missing?

But at this moment, the hundred-foot jade in his hand made a buzzing sound.

Lu Ningfeng looked down and saw that it was a message from Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen: Where is Yining? How is the situation with the Kanzi Army?

Lu Ningfeng suddenly realized that Kong Yining was missing. No wonder he always felt something was wrong.

【and many more……】

"The battle report of the Military Alliance shows that among the eight military regions, the Kan Army suffered the greatest loss, with more than 60,000 men, and even three Saint Realm warriors perished."

Lu Ningfeng suddenly spoke softly.

The specific battle losses of the Military Alliance have not yet been announced. Lu Ningfeng only learned the news when he went to meet with Li Yanwu and others.

Suddenly, all members of the small group surrounding him fell silent.

"Could she..."

Someone muttered something quietly but didn't finish.

Everyone thought of that possibility.

There will always be casualties in war, but when the victim is one's own family or friends, one will still feel uncontrollable sadness.

"Wait for news. She is from the Kanshui Imperial Palace Fleet. She may be busy with work. Don't make random guesses."

Lu Ningfeng spoke calmly, and his words finally made everyone feel a little relieved.

Kong Yining has always been a busy person. So many strong men have fallen from the Kan Army this time, so it is reasonable for her to be busy.

"The time when the next local war will start is uncertain. What will follow will probably be a large-scale small-scale conflict between the two tribes."

Lu Ningfeng glanced at everyone and chuckled.

"Xiaoxue and I need to prepare for retreat."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention and turned their attention from the shadow of war to Lu Ningfeng.

Two people who have reached the perfect level of Dao Yuan Realm are preparing to go into seclusion. The significance of this is self-evident.

Lu Ziqi was a little stunned.

My goodness, he had just gained some insights into a lower-level spiritual skill of the Venerable rank and was preparing to try to deduce its derivative changes, but this young couple are actually preparing to break through to the Venerable realm?

It seems that when he was in the Creation Realm, these two were only in the Nirvana Realm?

Lu Ziqi, who has always been confident in his cultivation speed, fell into deep thought.

"Ah? Brother Feng, Xiaoxue, are you going to break through? You don't want to play with me anymore?"

Chunqiu was also confused. He came in front of Lu Ningfeng and the other person. He looked at Lu Ningfeng with his big face, then rubbed Xiaoxue, extremely shocked.

"Play, play, play, that's all you do! Go back and practice diligently! If you haven't made any progress by the time I get out, I'll ignore you!"

Xiaoxue was so angry that she punched it on the head several times.

The punch was certainly not heavy, but it caused enough psychological damage to the stupid ball.

[What should I do if Xiaoxue ignores me? ]

[No! I have to practice hard! ]

The determination of the fool has never been so strong.

"Sister, brother-in-law, are you about to break through to the Venerable realm?"

Su Yaoting's breathing became a little rapid, his face full of envy.

He has just reached the perfection of the Creation Realm and is still a long way from the Venerable Realm.

"Yao Ting, your training speed is a bit slow. After we come out of seclusion, we will arrange a special training for you."

Lu Ningfeng patted Su Yaoting's shoulder with a smile, and glanced at Ning Yuxun who was standing timidly beside him.

"Xiao Hana Xun, you too."

"I... I'm about to break through to the Dao Yuan realm! I'm faster than this big stupid bull."

Ning Yuxun pouted and grumbled slightly in dissatisfaction.

Lu Ningfeng and Xiaoxue smiled at each other.

[Big stupid cow...]

It seems that these two little guys have a good relationship.

"Ning Feng, I'll go back first."

Ye Tianchen came over and first wished the two of them a successful breakthrough, and then offered to resign.

However, Lu Ningfeng could see that this guy was a little absent-minded.

A little thought will reveal that perhaps it is related to Kong Yining?

Lu Ningfeng didn't think much about it and nodded slightly.

Not long after, a piece of news was delivered to Lu Ningfeng, making him frown.

At the same time, Ye Tianchen, who was in the Ye family in Qiantian City, also received a piece of information.

[Kong Yining, a disciple of the Empress Kanshui, was affected by the battle between the Saint Realm and the general-level alien race on the battlefield. She was seriously injured and has been in a coma ever since...]
