1447: Chapter 1443 Gentlemen 1447: Chapter 1443 Gentlemen “How’s the situation?”

“It seems okay, but we still need to wait and see.

There are a few places where avatars of the Abyss Lords have appeared, and someone is handling it.”

“Are they just avatars, not the actual beings?”

“The Abyss Lords aren’t all fools, jumping into every hole they see…

A Quasi-God has arrived, so the frontline isn’t a big problem.”

Lu Ping’an put down his wine glass, deep in thought.

This location is a newly constructed floating island on the water, serving as the temporary command center for this battle.

Lu Ping’an appeared to be in good spirits, but in reality, it was a result of his numerous uses of postponed payment techniques.

Even for him, fighting a dozen mid-size battles in just seven days was nearly at his limit.

In this plane-scale battle, facing an insect swarm that sweeps across everything face-to-face, individual power always has its limits.

Even “nuclear warheads” couldn’t be detonated continuously, especially when the opponent was a rational and fearless swarm.

Most of the time, Lu Ping’an had already given up his “large-scale killing” ability, prioritizing safer and less energy-consuming methods of killing.

you should call him Andrewson.

That’s an internal joke we have; saying it to his face would anger him.”

The top combat power in this world are actually the seven Quasi-Gods, two of whom are locals—one from the Long Hand Clan and one from the Free Fish People…

The Sapphire people are supposed to be sending someone over, but they are still on their way.

The other five are not all from Lin Nu’s Church…

Precisely speaking, three are big shots affiliated with Lin Nu’s Church (King Kui, Mr.

Liu, Xiu Yi), along with two external big shots invited over.

“Perfect Superman” Andrewson, a Quasi-God level big shot from a friend on the Southern Continent.

Black Lightning is a nickname some people use, which for some reason has spread widely across this continent, even surpassing his official title.

Isn’t it quite fitting?

It’s said that when he runs, he’s like a black thunder tearing through the sea.”

“… Uh, how should I explain this to you.

That nickname is similar to pointing at a Free Fishman and derogately commenting on their fishy smell.”

“But isn’t that a fact?

If there’s a fishy smell in the cabin, many people just say it outright.”

never mind, suit yourself, but don’t use that term in the end; he’ll be really annoyed.”

Lu Ping’an found it quite difficult to explain, after all, this world is not only multi-national but also multi-racial…

When long scales and horns are common, a slightly darker skin tone shouldn’t be a big deal.

Lulu is very smart, but without that historical context, she indeed cannot understand so-called “racial discrimination.”

This doesn’t mean there is no discrimination here…

but when different ethnic groups are actually fighting for life resources, there’s no need to care about your race, with mixed races living together to this extent, and the severe survival pressure locally, simple discrimination based on specific features just doesn’t have a foothold.

“If you’re really upset, just kill them; why bother fussing over skin color and fishy smell…”

In the end, terms like “fish head,” “skeleton,” “multi-handed waste” have become everyday language and people can’t understand the significance of “black” to some ethnic groups.

Black or white has no inherent evil or superiority, but when they are used to divide races, to enslave, massacre, and discriminate, that’s the truly malicious part of history that makes these words overly sensitive for some ethnic groups.

Lu Ping’an shook his head; he hadn’t yet spoken with “Black Lightning.” Being mostly among Easterners, even on the Contact Board, he kept a low profile.

But Lu Ping’an had also noticed that his country seemed to be an ally in the Nirvana Plan, one of the Eastern country’s allied nations.

Perhaps top strongmen somewhat transcend national limits…

but strongmen also have their own ethnic groups, cultures, and customs, and those who can play together without mutual disdain at first sight, can truly have fun together.

“But now that he’s here, I can feel a bit more secure…”

As he spoke, Lulu suddenly showed a somewhat helpless smile, full of bitterness.

“The military department has issued an order, calling me back to the capital.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an fell silent.

they had all anticipated that the new system would greatly enhance their own combat power, facilitating the mobilization of various forces, but they hadn’t expected that the newly implemented management system would start with a restrictive order.

“…You’ve probably been too active, currently your kill record is the highest, isn’t it?

“Maybe…” Lulu sighed, she really hadn’t expected this to happen, her efforts meeting such a result.

Repelling a seventh-tier or above and killing one, are truly not of the same difficulty.

This week, Lu Ping’an took things seriously, having five one-on-one opportunities, of which he chose strategic retreat once, while the other four only resulted in him repelling his opponents.

He also noticed that, perhaps he was strong among the seventh-tiers, but the lack of “combat power” was still evident.

Besides the Crimson Star King, even if Lu Ping’an spared no expense in deploying targeted “rule weapons”…

but if they turned and retreated without hesitation, Lu Ping’an was still unable to intercept.

Unless, he was willing to endure a drawn-out battle amidst an endless swarm of insects on the premise of fighting more than one Rule-level to deplete each other’s strength, and it was hard to say who would fall.

Looking at the girl with an annoyed face in front of him, Lu Ping’an felt complex emotions.

“King Bug (Rule-level)” is not a common cabbage, they are considered strong opponents within the same tier, cunning and well-versed in war, and with a large army accompanying them…”

The war achievements that spread could be lies, but the frontline and the war results (head counts) would not, since Lu Ping’an couldn’t do it himself, but Lulu did…

He admitted, perhaps Lulu was now stronger than him.

At least, her burst of explosive combat power was much stronger, at least Lu Ping’an was not willing to fight to the death in such a situation.

Clearly, for such war results, even she had to be prepared to trade injury for her enemies’ lives…

Actually, from the news Lu Ping’an gathered, it was her constantly forcing her opponent into “exchanges.”

“What excuse did they use to call you back?

You are the Grand Marshal, right?”

With the establishment of the military department, it was natural to assign military ranks to various “warlord leaders.”

Although there were many dubious appointments, particularly among the generals who were unqualified placeholders, but for marshals…

there were only three Grand Marshals and seven Marshals.

Yes, Lulu was no longer the only Grand Marshal, but the evaluations of the other two were very reluctant, their strength was perhaps not less than Lulu’s, but their achievements and reputation fell far short…

This was clearly an elevation to play against her, splitting her reputation.

Nevertheless, when being a Grand Marshal was no longer a title but a “military rank,” to dispatch her required an official and plausible reason.

huh, said I was injured and ordered me to return for recuperation.”

“Yes, ordered, with a military order from the military department.”

Lu Ping’an didn’t mince his words, knowing the situation was absurd, and any discerning person could see it was nonsense…

Even if she were really severely injured, was it necessary to return to the capital for recuperation now?

Moreover, if Lu Ping’an was there, he could completely heal her.

If it were someone else, simply go ahead and command, and if I comply, consider it my loss.

But as the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by upright means, and a petty person can be lured by profit.

Yet Lulu, this Grand Marshal might not be foolishly loyal or inflexible, but she considered the bigger picture.

At this time, just when the military department had been established, refusing a military order would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the military department, sweeping away its dignity…

When the various warlords were already loosely aligned, if someone set an example by defying the military order without punishment, the rest would naturally not take it seriously.

As long as she didn’t cross the bottom line, Lulu, who “considered the greater good,” would inevitably follow the military order and even lead by example for others.

Pfft, that’s a bit bad.

I reckon after you go back, probably nothing awaits you, just idleness…

Well, if it were me, I’d also burden you with tons of trivial matters, wasting your time and energy.”

“Actually, my people have already gathered some information, they want me to go back and oversee the construction of the military school.”

“Not exactly trivial matters…

but with no short-term effects and time-consuming, thankless efforts…

but you probably will gladly accept.”

In a way, Lulu’s status was indeed special; this was also a kind of transactional benefit, they still wouldn’t dare to push things to the extreme.

“This isn’t so bad, right?

Properly establishing a foundation and training for the new generation of military officers and core members.” These foundational things were indeed very important, and Lulu herself was the most reliable person to handle them.

Lulu sighed, ultimately saying nothing.

Soon after, watching the departing ship of Lulu, Lu Ping’an laughed.

For our plan, you might as well obediently retire to the second line and rest.”

Whether Lulu’s return was related to Lu Ping’an or not was hard to say, but it likely involved the Easterners.

At least now, having the Grand Marshal retire to the second line to await a shift in circumstances aligned with everyone’s interest.

“However, to make up for her absence…

I must also try to kill a few more.”
