Return countdown 66:00:00.
6 o'clock in the morning.
The outpost was in a mess, and the runway was cracked with dense cracks, just like the broken river bed after it dried up.
Those airships that had not yet had time to take off were stuck in the gaps, and the little nobles and soldiers were hiding inside and did not dare to move.
The sky was gradually getting brighter, and bird carcasses could be seen everywhere on the ground of the outpost, as well as huge wild boars that were killed by the outpost.
Tragic, really tragic.
After the little nobles were sure that there was no danger, they climbed out of the airship one by one and looked around silently.
Everyone felt a sense of joy of "surviving the disaster" in their hearts. Fortunately, they didn't die!
But how was the outpost held?
Just yesterday afternoon, when the Marquis of Bolton began to mobilize the airship and adjust the apron serial number, everyone was still complaining.
After all, everyone is having a good time on the tarmac, why are they changing things around? Isn’t this tormenting people?
At that time, it took about 7 hours of work to adjust all the aprons.
But in yesterday's early morning attack, if the A-class airships had not taken off in time, and if the combat-effective airships had been defeated one by one from the very beginning, then this base might really have fallen.
There will be no grass growing in the places where the giant dynasty attacked, and no one may be able to survive by then.
If the outpost is still the same outpost No. 9, everyone will become dust in history.
How dangerous!
The little nobles cheered as they watched the soldiers at the outpost anesthetizing, arresting, and imprisoning six injured giants.
Survival!
It was at this time that news from the outside came in: "Forward Base No. 6 fell. The pioneer general of the Giant Dynasty, 'Kacha Yun', led hundreds of giants to attack the base, destroying 90% of the airships and killing everyone in the base.
Everyone, captured the commander of the outpost, the Marquis of Sith, and his family documents alive!"
Everyone looked at each other, there would be no happiness without comparison.
They were also attacked by the Giant Dynasty and the outpost next door fell, but they could still stand here and rejoice.
This is happiness!
Without Marquis Bolton, they would have ended up exactly the same, right?!
Everyone must die!
Moreover, they were still thinking at the beginning that with the outpost being destroyed like this, the meritorious service that Marquis Bolton had just achieved in his anti-corruption campaign would be lost, right?
But now there is no harm without comparison. We were also attacked. The next door was not defended, but the Marquis of Bolton defended it and captured six giants alive. This is a huge achievement.
The little nobles looked at each other, and they gathered together and whispered: "The Marquis of Bolton used to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. Everyone thought he was a stupid Marquis, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful. Let me just say, the fifth princess is so powerful, why?
Maybe she likes a pretty boy? She must have discovered Marquis Bolton’s ability early and decided to marry him!”
"Yes, the fifth princess is in charge of a violent organization, how could she find a pretty boy? It's because we didn't discover the power of Marquis Bolton earlier!"
Someone said in a low voice: "The future of Marquis Bolton is limitless. We must support him in advance, otherwise we will not be able to support him when he becomes successful."
After the soldiers at the outpost captured the giant, they immediately ran to Marquis Bolton's office.
At this moment, Bolton had just logged off from the superconducting world. He was looking at Qingchen: "It was so awesome last night. The White Man's Light took me to a level. They actually went to the Water Mage's copy of Electric Fish.
I don’t know who’s idea of playing it, but it’s so fast to level up!”
Qingchen smiled and said: "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, for your upgrade."
At this time, the curtains in the office were drawn, and Bolton didn't even see what was happening outside.
Someone knocked on the door: "Your Majesty the Marquis!"
"Come in, what's going on?" Marquis Bolton asked impatiently while sitting on the sofa.
The soldier outside the door said excitedly: "Your Majesty the Marquis, you are really amazing. The nobles outside have invited you to come out and have a few words!"
Marquis Bolton was puzzled. I just rose from F to E overnight in the superconducting world. Although this is very powerful, it doesn't mean I have to go out and say a few words to everyone, right?
This is not how you flatter me!
Moreover, didn’t he delete his account and practice again? No one knows what his current name is in the superconducting world. Who leaked the news?
Marquis Bolton said casually: "How can this be considered so powerful? Get out of here and don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
The soldiers were in awe. Even at this time, Lord Bolton was still so calm and humble.
He silently exited the office and turned around to gossip for everyone.
…
…
Marquis Bolton looked at Qingchen and smiled: "You will get used to it in the future. As long as your status is high enough, everyone will want to flatter you."
Qingchen didn't say anything, he silently opened the curtains.
Marquis Bolton continued: "I was very happy practicing leveling last night, and those family members... burped!"
When he was mid-sentence, he saw the mess outside and almost choked out of fear on the spot.
His face was pale.
"What...what's going on?!" Marquis Bolton said in shock.
Qingchen explained: "The Giant Dynasty raided here last night... Fortunately, Marquis Bolton, you temporarily changed the position of the airship yesterday afternoon, which gave the A-class airship time to take off. Fortunately, Bo
Marquis Don, you ordered people to inspect Metal Storm in advance, so that the base would not be overwhelmed by the birds. Half of the Metal Storm on the city wall originally had empty magazines. If it had not been inspected in advance, the wild boars and birds alone would be enough for all of us.
The army was destroyed."
He told the story in detail, including every phone call he made in the name of Marquis Bolton and every order he issued. He also told the Marquis to avoid mistakes in his future report.
Qingchen asked: "Marquis Bolton, what did you do before you married into a wealthy family... before you married the fifth princess?"
"I was a 18th-tier actor before," said the Marquis of Bolton.
Qingchen thought to himself that no wonder he pretended to be a detective during the previous interrogation and recited his lines so smoothly.
I see.
This face is indeed qualified to be an actor.
He said seriously: "Lord Marquis, the No. 6 outpost next door has been completely occupied, so whether you have achieved a great achievement or the first victory of this kingdom's expedition, you must remember all the details to avoid any problems.
The fifth princess will definitely help you with this matter. When the time comes, the Marquis will be level 4 or 5, which will no longer be a dream."
Marquis level 3 can be in charge of power departments such as the Food and Drug Administration Department, the Commerce Department, and the Education Department.
Marquis Level 5 is already qualified to take charge of the Central Royal City Garrison, Financial Department, and Legislative Department. It can be said that he has truly entered the core of power of the Roosevelt Kingdom.
In fact, at this point, the 'position' of the nobleman with a foreign surname has come to an end. If Marquis Bolton makes great achievements again, he may be promoted to Marquis Level 6. His position will not change much, except the number of private armies he can control and the number of slaves he can purchase.
, wages will continue to grow.
Therefore, Marquis level 5 is very important!
Marquis Bolton nodded quickly: "I will write it down...Butler, I am really grateful to you this time. Otherwise, I might have died last night and all the merits I have won will be gone. This time I can share the merits with you."
Well, let me just say that I came up with the idea of deploying aerial airships, and you are responsible for the implementation. Just this one thing is enough for you to be promoted to citizen level 1."
Qingchen said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, I will continue to work hard in the future. But my merits are not important. As long as you are getting better and better, Lord Marquis, I will naturally follow and get better and better."
Marquis Bolton looked at Qingchen and felt that he had found a treasure. With such a person assisting him, he didn't have to do anything on his own. He could perform meritorious deeds just by lying down...
Why haven’t I encountered such a talent before?
In fact, Qingchen suddenly felt that being the butler of Marquis Bolton was really convenient.
In the battle last night, if he had been more ruthless, Guangfeng and the others would have been annihilated. If he had taken action a little later, the Roosevelt Kingdom would have lost an outpost.
Now that he has great power, it is all a matter of a word or a thought to make him owe more or less.
If the status of Marquis Bolton were higher, after a war, Qingchen could cause both the Roosevelt Kingdom and the Giant Dynasty to suffer heavy losses with just his words.
Moreover, no one can blame him yet, and maybe even say thank you to him.
Well, that's quite interesting.
…
…
"Lord Marquis, we have captured six giants alive and they have been imprisoned in the dungeon of the base. Do you want to take a look?" Qingchen asked.
"Ah? I don't dare to go, they are so fierce!" Marquis Bolton was a little scared.
Qingchen thought for a while and said: "Then let me go and take a look for you. In addition, the Duke of Storms will arrive here in 2 hours. You must be well prepared and never give him a chance to impeach you."
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm feeling proud this time," Marquis Bolton said: "This old boy threatened that he would be the first to win the expedition. What happens now? I took it away from him, right? Hahahahaha
!”
Qingchen discovered that this marquis had an advantage: no matter whether it was his own meritorious service or not, as long as it was placed on his head, he could accept it calmly and incorporate it into the drama.
This is good news for Qingchen.
At this time, Marquis Bolton's phone rang. It was Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess.
Qingchen said: "Should I avoid it?"
"No, you are a great hero, there is no need to avoid it!" Marquis Bolton answered the phone: "Hey, wife...yes, yes, I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't worry, half of the airships in Outpost 9 can be used
Repairs, and most of the damage is civilian grade, the loss is actually not big."
On the phone, the fifth princess said: "Let your housekeeper answer the phone."
Marquis Bolton innocently handed the phone to Qingchen: "Quick, your sister-in-law wants you to answer the phone."
Qingchen took it and said, "Hello, Your Highness the Princess."
"Just call me Cassia," the clear and sweet voice on the phone said, "Thanks to you this time, I will remember your contribution, thank you."
"You're welcome. This is my responsibility. In fact, I didn't do anything. I just checked the work according to the outpost operating rules," Qingchen said.
In this battle, Qingchen's performance was not that outstanding. He just did some things that he should do and others didn't notice.
If others take a closer look, it would be that he is meticulous in his work, which is not particularly surprising.
It all depends on the support of peers.
Qingchen carefully controlled the situation so as not to show excessive talent and make others suspicious.
If he really wiped out the entire small vanguard force of the Giant Dynasty last night, I'm afraid the investigation against him wouldn't be too far away.
After the fifth princess was silent for a few seconds: "I saw the future of you and Bolton, and I have some doubts about it. I will arrive at Outpost 9 in two days, hoping to find some answers from you."
After saying that, the fifth princess hung up the phone.
Qingchen was shocked in his heart. This fifth princess was indeed a fortune teller above the A level. No wonder she had such subordinates as the Fire Line Team.
Moreover, the other party did indeed see the future in himself, but Qingchen was not sure what the other party saw.
Wait a minute, logically speaking, the other party should not see a very clear future, or the future that the other party sees is actually not enough to make the other party hostile.
If the other party saw that he had killed King Roosevelt and stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the Roosevelt Kingdom, he should not tell him about it and then mobilize an army to encircle and suppress him.
What if I run away early?
Therefore, the future that the other party sees is not enough to pose a threat to Qingchen, so it must be explainable.
For people like Qingchen, he can make logical deductions on every detail.
But he was still a little curious, wondering what the princess saw?
…
…
In the dungeon, the soldiers at the outpost were using high-pressure water cannons to continuously wash away the giants.
The giants were hiding in huge cages, huddled in corners. The green and black ink on their bodies had been washed away, revealing their original skin color.
Qingchen slowly walked into the dungeon, frowned and said to the soldiers: "Who asked you to abuse these giants? They are still injured. Who will be responsible if you kill them?"
The soldiers bowed their heads and saluted: "Hello, great steward."
In the past two days, although Qingchen did not show his face, everyone was notified that the previous chief butler and second butler had been executed by the current chief butler. They were the true heirs of Marquis Bolton.
Nowadays, Marquis Bolton's reputation is at its peak, and Qingchen's status has also risen with the tide.
Qingchen said: "You guys go down, I'll observe these giants."
The soldiers said cautiously: "Butler, you must not approach the cage. These giants are all racially gifted. I don't know if they have any means of hurting others."
"Well, I understand."
At this time, a giant in the cage said: "Dudu!"
(Who is this human being? He seems to have a very high status?)
"Giggle!"
(I can understand human language and he is the steward of this outpost!)
Qingchen looked strange because... he could understand what the giants were saying!
Originally, he thought he could only understand what Dingdong and Gudong said, because after all, he was the host of Forbidden Land No. 002. As subjects of Forbidden Land No. 002, Dingdong and Gudong could understand them.
Whatever the other person says is normal.
But he didn't expect that he could also understand what the giant of the Western Continent was saying.
Wait, he recalled that one time he went to Forbidden Land No. 002, Dingdong gave him, Yangyang and others a red fruit. At that time, the fruit had no effect after eating it. He thought it was just delicious.
That’s all.
But looking back now, maybe it was that fruit that taught him how to understand the thoughts of giants from their language.
You must know that there are not many giants who can speak human language. Dingdong cannot speak it, and only a few giants in the giant dynasty have learned it.
Even humans cannot understand the giant's words.
At this time, a giant said: "Dudu!"
(This person must be very important. "Puff," you trick him to the edge of the cage, and we will find a way to kidnap him and kill him!)
After saying that, the giant on the farthest side held the wound on his stomach and cried out, as if the wound had recurred.
Qingchen was happy.
This is probably why it is important to master another foreign language.
The giants were conspiring loudly in front of him, but he didn't expect that he could understand them. After rolling around for a long time, Qingchen didn't come to observe him.
Qingchen said to himself thoughtfully: "I don't know if anyone will come to save these giants. I have to remind Marquis Bolton to set a trap."
When the giants heard this, they immediately became anxious.
"Dudu!"
(No, this man is going to set a trap for Fengfeng. Fengfeng values love, he will definitely find a way to save us, and then he will be ambushed by a human trap!)
"Giggle!"
(what to do?!)
Qingchendi said: "Catch a few more giants to play with."
With that said, he left.
The giants were left making strange noises and discussing heatedly in the cage.
But in fact, what Qingchen was thinking about was how to get these giants out. He didn't want to lend these six giants to the Roosevelt Kingdom to actually set a trap for the Giant Dynasty.
After all, Qingchen's main enemy is the Roosevelt Kingdom, not the Giant Dynasty.
But where should he start?
Qingchen thought for a moment and suddenly thought of a person: the person who intercepted the outpost's communications last night.
They cooperated with the giant's invasion, so they should be willing to take action to save the giant.
I want to find this person out and create an opportunity for him, an opportunity he can't refuse.
