During the dense "Wormhole Cloud" invasion, the Barbarian Tribe of the Intelligent Species on the Cangqiong Star suffered the most severe losses.
Living a secluded and primitive life in the Arctic Continent, several million Barbarians were completely wiped out by the overwhelming tide of monsters, with no survivors.
The Slan Dynasty originally had the opportunity to rescue them in ti, but due to the Barbarians' rejection of new things, especially modern technological products, they sabotaged many communication bases and equipnt placed in the Arctic, leading to a breakdown in communication. By the ti the court noticed, the Barbarians in the Arctic had already been slaughtered and devoured completely.
However, the Barbarian Tribe was not extinct on Cangqiong Star. Besides a relatively enlightened part of the tribe residing in the Imperial Capital Delan City as representatives for political participation, there were tens of thousands of Barbarians living with the Magical Beast Tribe in the Zhenlu Continent.
To Chen Fei's surprise, the leader of this rescue team was actually a Barbarian.
Wasn't it rumored that Barbarians were the most brainless? Aren't they afraid of leading everyone into a ditch?
Noticing the odd expression on Chen Fei's face, Princess Lin Ziyu guessed his thoughts and explained, "Not all Barbarians are savage and rough. Huo n is a rare high-intelligence talent. He has a Ph.D. in sociology and also has the credentials of war command. As a representative of the Barbarians, he has been studying in the Imperial Capital."
Even after the unification of the Cangqiong Star by the Slan Dynasty, it was not entirely peaceful. Occasional rebellions provided rare training opportunities. Having war command credentials ans it's genuine and not just for show.
On the battlefield, life and death depend entirely on strength. If there's soone fake or weak trying to fit in, they'd be sent packing to their next life early on. Besides, the soldiers wouldn't stand for it!
"Just like Yilan!"
Chen Fei imdiately understood and could fully comprehend a Barbarian becoming a leader.
Since the tallic Dragons known as the Dragons of Slaughter could produce soone like the scholarly Yilan, it's not surprising to have one or two highly educated Barbarians keeping up with the progress of the tis.
After all, when the forest is big, all kinds of birds are there, right? Tweet!
Princess Lin Ziyu nodded: "We can fully trust him. Huo n is a reliable person."
The presence of a sociology Ph.D. wielding a double-bladed battleaxe didn't seem out of place, embodying the idea of a person who's tough and speaks little, which was very harmonious.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the rescue team is ready."
The tall and burly figure approached Princess Lin Ziyu, bent down and knelt on the ground, his massive body like a small mountain, Huo n's shoulders were easily twice the width of the Princess's.
The impact of the double-bladed battleaxe hitting the ground sent a slight tremor within a radius of ten feet.
The Barbarian Tribe revered strength, so submitting to the Slan Royal Family, which unified the entire Cangqiong Star, was only natural. Their loyalty was unquestionable until a stronger ruler appeared.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Chief Huo n. Now that everyone is here, please proceed imdiately."
As Lin Ziyu herself said, she fully trusted this Barbarian captain.
The term "Chief" originally referred to the leader of a Barbarian tribe. If one only had brute strength, they could not beco a leader; so brains were needed.
"Yes, ma'am!"
The Barbarian Huo n picked up the battleaxe without any hesitation, raised his voice again.
"Everyone, line up, roll call!"
His voice was still deafening like thunder, there was no need for any amplifying devices or spells.
The nearby Intelligent Species imdiately jogged over, lined up according to height.
After observing the pattern, Chen Fei joined in. Surprisingly, he wasn't the shortest, as there was a Magical Beast standing beside him, its height on four legs making it a head shorter.
Noticing Chen Fei curiously looking his way, the fox-like Magical Beast with black and gray fur tilted its head and smiled, lowered its voice saying, "Hello, I'm Mina of the Ghost Fox Tribe, second rank, Dark Elent."
Chen Fei nodded slightly, quietly responded, "Hello, I'm Chen Fei from the Human Race on Blue Star, a B-level tal Ability User."
"B-level?"
"Yes!"
"Uh..." (Looks like there's a little kid in the team.)
In the process, Chen Xiao'er unknowingly pulled off another impressive act.
Any regular B-level Ability User daring to oppose him would likely get beaten half to death.
Although Barbarian Captain Huo n had a loud voice, his hearing was quite keen and seed to detect the conversation between Chen Fei and Mina of the Ghost Fox Tribe, shouting, "Everyone stay quiet; once on the Light Wing Ship, there will be plenty of ti to chat later."
This ti, there was truly no other sound, except for his own voice.
Roll call completed quickly, the rescue team didn't have many mbers, only twenty-four people, half from the Human Race, the rest included Demon Tribe, Barbarian Tribe, Darknight Tribe, Feathered Tribe, and Magical Beast mbers, etc. There was no racial discrimination on Cangqiong Star, so mixed teams were quite normal.
Heseman Brown, Dang Wei Jun, and Theodore did not join the rescue team; their duty was to protect Chen Fei's safety. Not only did they not count in the numbers, they also planned to hitch a ride on the Light Wing Ship and freeload food and drink.
"Report, Your Highness, all twenty-four mbers expected to arrive are present. The rescue team is ready."
The Barbarian captain Huo n turned to report to Princess Lin Ziyu.
The accompanying regular Marine Corps had over a thousand mbers, along with mobile combat armor, armored vehicles, and tactical units like the "Sky Falcon." They did not participate in the rescue operations, but were responsible for escorting and providing firepower support.
Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded and said, "Set out! Please everyone co back alive!"
"Depart!"
Huo n swung the double-bladed battleaxe in his hand fiercely, unleashing a wave of air that rushed over ten ters away.
Everyone lined up to board the Light Wing Ship, over two hundred ters long, and took off with several "Sky Falcons" escorting them.
Princess Lin Ziyu stood in place, watching as the Light Wing Ship slowly flapped its multiple long light wings and quickly flew away, disappearing into the horizon.
The interior of the Light Wing Ship, over two hundred ters long, carried more than a thousand people and was still quite spacious.
The twenty-so mbers of the rescue team curiously eyed Chen Fei, who arrived last, especially the three people he brought along.
"Chen Fei, can you introduce these three friends of yours?"
The leader of the rescue team, the Barbarian Huo n, was the first to speak up, voicing the curiosity of the others.
"My three bodyguards, Heseman Brown, Dang Wei Jun, and Theodore."
Chen Fei introduced the three people with him to the rescue team and didn't say more to avoid overthinking.
The scene was silent. No one had heard of bringing bodyguards on a rescue mission. If you can't even protect yourself, how could you save others? Are you here to joke?
If it wasn't previously stated that he was a Chen Family disciple, these rescue team mbers might genuinely consider Chen Xiao to be here to provide comic relief and lighten the mood.
However, Huo n had received so information about Chen Fei beforehand and didn't question him. Instead, he said to the three of them, "If necessary, please don't hesitate to assist, of course, the first priority is ensuring Chen Fei's safety."
Chen Fei's personal safety was a major priority, aligning with the requirents from the Silan Royal Family. They couldn't risk not saving the "Lord of the Sky" and losing a Chen Family disciple in the process, or relations between the Lin and Chen families might suffer a rift.
Unlike the Lin Family, which has generation after generation of Ability Users, the Chen Family doesn't have many, and losing even one would be a significant loss.
However, if they could additionally acquire the help of an S-Class Superpower User and two Heavenly Rank Warriors, this rescue mission could gain a greater chance of success.
"Of course!"
Chen Fei didn't mind the trio lending a small helping hand if they had the spare capacity. After all, an extra person in critical monts could an extra strength.
Heseman Brown and Dang Wei Jun exchanged glances, and then nodded together toward the others.
"Can I, can I get off halfway? I was forced!"
At this mont, financial fraudster Theodore started to act out, trying to create an opportunity to escape by leveraging morality in the presence of others.
Chen Fei casually replied, "Of course, when we pass by Sky Dragon City, we'll drop you off."
Financial fraudsters are nothing but fools in front of professionals in economics, with every move they make an act of foolishness.
Ha, ha, you can't even put up a fight!
"Great, great, ah, no, no, no, don't!"
Theodore didn't realize at first and bead with joy, but in the next second, the realization hit him, almost causing him to cry on the spot.
For others, Sky Dragon City might be a nice tourist spot, but for Theodore, it was the most terrifying place in the world. He would rather rot in the bottom of Habulav's Heavy Criminal Prison than set foot in Sky Dragon City.
After all, he had conned the Dragon King out of one trillion Star Yuan. Showing up voluntarily, does he want to be deep-fried? Red-braised? Powder-stead? Charcoal-grilled? Raw...
He possesses Heavenly Position Battle Qi but was never a match for Chen Fei from the start.
"Sorry for the joke, everyone, his education period isn't over yet."
Chen Fei shrugged apologetically at the other mbers of the rescue team, then turned to Theodore and said, "Theodore, you have two choices: comply or I'll drop you off right now."
This is Cangqiong Star, all "Dinsional Gates" have stopped operating, and the alternate channel connecting Blue Star, the "Stargate," is in Chen Fei's hands. Theodore had no escape. Deceiving the Dragon King ant deceiving the entire Giant Dragon clan, and being dropped anywhere or in Sky Dragon City made little difference. It was rely a matter of dying sooner or later, for there was always a chance of encountering dragons, and the uncertainty of death was even more terrifying.
"Comply! Comply! I will comply! Please, forgive , O rciful and compassionate one!"
Theodore directly knelt, clinging tightly to Chen Fei's leg, crying miserably, seemingly wanting to turn over a new leaf.
The others watched, bewildered, unable to guess what leverage others held over him.
Dignity? Face? Bottom line?
Scamrs have none of these!
