Chapter 769: Chapter 769

"Don’t bargain with me, you should know our attitude towards prisoners."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. The Star Ring Federation, with its multitude of ethnicities and planets, had established its unique moral standards and laws quite early on.

Even if they were from the Blood-colored Empire, they were still seen as fellow humans.

If captured, there wouldn’t be any danger to their lives, but they would be placed in special locations for labor reform. To them, these were all viable populations; a few generations of reform would have them fully integrated.

The Star Ring Federation was vast and sparsely populated, every person was a valuable resource; they would never easily give up on anyone. For those from the Blood-colored Empire, it was better to be captured than to flee.

"Follow my command, cease resistance." The highest commander uttered to the computer in the middle. After confirmation, all the warplanes outside immediately ceased their attack and descended towards the ground, rather than returning to the base.

Seeing these machines halt, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, it’s over."

Sera wiped the cold sweat off his forehead; this was the most brutal and dangerous battle he had ever experienced. The battle was short-lived, but it was clear he was on the verge of collapsing.

If he had to persist a little longer, Sera wasn’t sure if he could survive. He had already used up all his defense, and if it weren’t for Lin Yucha saving him twice, he believes he would have lost his life.

Even Du You’s two birds had died once. Sera was not aware of why these two birds were so fierce, and how they could even revive after death, but he chose not to ask directly.

In mid-air, Lin Yushi descended to the ground, completely drenched. This battle was too intense, technological products often facilitated long-range attacks, and even super long-range attacks, which could easily lead to concentrated fire.

Lin Yushi’s defenses were not as thorough as her sister’s, but she defended herself with the Drifting Feather and two wings. Yet, there were still some who slipped through. She was hit three times, with three areas bruising and throbbing with pain. If she hadn’t drunk the dragon blood which greatly increased her resistance, she would have either died or been severely injured.

Before long, Du You returned to the ground with the prisoners. Before coming back, Du You kept only the unicorn among his summoned creatures and withdrew all the rest.

"Bubble, heal me," Lin Yushi told Bubble. Bubble slightly nodded its big head, not understanding where it was, or why the scenes had completely changed.

"Master, what should we do with all this?" Lin Yucha came forward, pointing at the warplanes on the ground.

"They’re enemy property, and we can’t use them nor keep them, so we should destroy them. Oh wait, the Bloody War Dogs are about to come out, let’s kill those first." The Bloody War Dogs were not like the warplanes, they were purely biological. They wouldn’t simply obey an order, even if it meant their death.

The Demon Wolves were powerful, but their numbers were low and they couldn’t withstand so many Bloody War Dogs.

When Du You and two others joined the battlefield, the Bloody War Dogs still outnumbered them, but their numbers dwindled rapidly. The Flying Soldiers in the sky opened fire, killing the war dogs even faster.

Cleaning the battlefield was easy, the spoils of war were no good to them, most of the weapons had been destroyed. Only the supplies were left. Sera would soon mobilize the backline’s engineering robots to transport it all.

"Next, we need to clean up this war zone under our control. Sera, how much did we lose this time?"

Sera counted and said, "We’ve lost more than four hundred, exceeding two months’ supplies. But our merit this time is high, they should compensate us from above." Sera was somewhat relieved.

Although there were still many Flying Soldiers left, their energy consumption was huge, and their numbers far fewer than the enemies’. If the battle continued, they wouldn’t last much longer. He had originally planned to persist for three hours, but now in retrospect, Sera realized he had been too arrogant. Without the help of the two sisters, Sera wouldn’t have been able to hold on for even an hour.

A moment later, all the warplanes on the ground were destroyed, and the entire base lost its ability to resist completely.

By the time the enemy realized what happened, everything would be emptied.

After a brief cleanup, Sera promptly reported the battle achievements, then flew away with the remaining Flying Soldiers. He split up with Du You and started cleaning up their controlled area.

Within their own controlled area, Du You could freely wage war, that was his right. But without permission, Du You could not take his troops out of his controlled area, as that would be met with punishment from above.

Du You opened the panel, "As expected, the rating for a base is also tier four, although there was no task, we received rewards."

Upon opening the sphere, aside from the Crystal Coins, there was also a card.

Skill improvement card for magic power: Elevate a magic power skill by one tier, can’t exceed advanced level.

Du You was stunned, this was a great item that can improve magic power skills. "I will use this now," Du You smiled and used the skill card on himself. Dark Magic Power at level 27 suddenly transformed into Advanced Dark Magic Power at level 23. The level dropped by four, but Du You felt his magic power was purer and stronger.

Advanced Dark Magic Power: Advanced skill, prerequisite is basic magic power skill. Magic power can automatically circulate and recover, counteracts energy with light attribute below advanced level. (Level 23)

Higher-level skills not only enhance everything, but also add properties. The purity of Dark Magic Power improved and it could now counteract Light Attribute. A grin spread on Du You’s face.

If someone thought they could use Light Attribute to counterattack him because he was of Dark Attribute, he would show them how Dark could counteract Light.

"Master, your skill is so powerful, you must help us upgrade too." Lin Yushi said enviously.

"Don’t worry, even if we can’t find anything that raises skills, I will find advanced magic power skills for you to evolve in the future." Buying advanced skills was possible, although they were quite expensive.

The two sisters were only asking for a favor and did not push him. After tidying up a bit, the trio went on to clean up their war zone following the initial plan. When the war zone was cleaned, it would be a local victory and they could continue to advance. Du You believed his mission progress could be enhanced again.
