Capítulo 842: Chapter 528: They Want Revenge! (Part 3)
A long howl sounded from his mouth once more, and he continued to lead the Iron-eating Beast Legion away like a tide.
Soon, they disappeared into the endless night.
Tang Fei, holding the nearly depleted, flickering energy blade, walked up to Shen Qingping and asked, “Shouldn’t we chase them?”
Shen Qingping’s arm and chest were wounded, and he was having a dic spray ‘Immortal Water’ on the wounds.
This was a dicinal liquid used for sterilization and to help wounds heal quickly, earning such a beautiful na from the soldiers of Dushan.
“What’s the point of chasing? You can’t kill all the Barbarians.” Shen Qingping said with a look of disgust.
It seed he had a deep hatred for these Barbarians.
“Is it like this every day?”
“Not every day, but often.” Shen Qingping replied, “There’s no pattern, they strike sporadically, so it’s hard to guard against.”
“Why is that?” Tang Fei asked, “What do they want when they attack?”
“Who knows?” Shen Qingping shrugged, which pulled at a wound on his arm, causing him to grimace in pain, “Maybe they want a different environnt to live in?”
Tang Fei nodded in agreent and said, “Indeed. If they manage to occupy Dushan, the Empire’s territory would be at their rcy… advancing or retreating as they wish.”
“By then, driving them out would be no easy task.”
These massive, ferociously powerful Barbarians entering human cities would be like Godzilla entering Tokyo…
Lu Siyu flew over, looked at Tang Fei and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Tang Fei shook his head, looked at Lu Siyu and said, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?”
“…”
The logistics troops were cleaning up the battlefield, and Shen Qingping invited Tang Fei and Lu Siyu to his room for a chat.
This ti, Shen Qingping took the initiative to get frozen beer from the fridge for Tang Fei and Lu Siyu.
“You still have beer?” Tang Fei asked, rather surprised.
During dinner, he noticed the scarcity of living supplies here.
Everything depended on transport from starships, the necessities were insufficient, and alcohol was a luxury.
“Anywhere you go, there’s always class structure.” Shen Qingping twisted open a bottle cap and took a big gulp, saying, “Once you beco a General, you do enjoy so special privileges.”
“Like a one-bedroom apartnt, like the frozen beer in our hands…”
“To the General!” Tang Fei raised his beer bottle to Shen Qingping.
He didn’t find anything wrong with what Shen Qingping said, nor did he have a hint of contempt or disdain in his heart.
For he had just seen Shen Qingping charging at the front line against the Barbarians.
This General earned his rank with his life.
And his beer too.
“Continuing like this isn’t a solution.” Tang Fei said.
Shen Qingping glanced at Tang Fei, asking, “Do you have a better solution?”
“Still thinking.”
“…”
Shen Qingping looked at the night outside the window and spoke in a deep voice, “Actually, years ago, we even coexisted peacefully with the Barbarians… they even helped us resist the joint army of the Aus Empire and the Kaman Federation…”
“Really?” Tang Fei asked with a surprised look.
Shen Qingping studied Tang Fei’s face as if assessing the truth of his statent.
Or… was he just playing along?
“This is also related to your father.” Shen Qingping seed to be reminiscing the past, saying, “Back then… all these Barbarians were your father’s subordinates.”
“Then why… did things turn out like this?”
“Revenge.” Shen Qingping said gravely, “They want revenge.”
