We are from the future ark

"You're right." Chen Qi nodded and naturally took Ifrit's hand. As they walked towards the upper level of Rhodes Island, they said:

"Although we have defeated Ursus's army before, Kazdel should not be underestimated."

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've started a war that involves the entire nation - in the past we've fought battles one after another, but never like today, where we're preparing to go to war head-on with a country."

"Although Kazdel is hovering between the big countries, he is quite capable of bullying smaller countries. Moreover, Tracys has enslaved a country like Victoria for so long."

"He must have his cards. We can't underestimate them, Ifrit."

Chen Qi never minds imagining his opponent as the most difficult one before starting a battle. He can think of countless tactics and strategies to deal with unexpected situations, thus thinking of all kinds of worst-case scenarios.

——However, Chen Qi’s power is limited. He is an expert in strategy and tactics, but he has never commanded a "national war". He is not that powerful, and he has never had the resources to squander and accumulate experience.

He could only command every battle as best as he could and compress the combat area as much as possible, because once the war really broke out in Kazdel's territory - a multi-line battle, Chen Qi and his men did not have enough strength.

The battlefield of the decisive battle must be as small as possible, preferably within one or several mobile cities!

"Where are we going to start the battle?"

"The capital of Kazdel." Chen Qi said lightly. He had already made a plan long ago, and now is the final stage of implementation.

They need to accumulate more strength, and gather strength from wherever it comes from. Every bit counts, and any help - may become the force that helps them turn the situation around in the end.

It was because of this that Chen Qi accumulated strength everywhere. Their missions took them to various places across Terra. During this period, they could almost be said to have influenced the international developments of Terra as a whole, and they also quietly gathered a lot of connections and strength.

Ursus, Casimir, Victoria, Colombia... Quietly, everything began to change because of Chen Qi and the others.

"Lin Guang and the others have already returned to Casimir. They can't influence anything in Casimir, and it's impossible for them to get help from the high-ranking officials of the merchant-run country. But, at least they can contain Casimir and prevent them from helping Kazdel."

"In Victoria, Vina has also gone back. They are probably negotiating with Colombia now, trying to convince Colombia not to turn the tables during this period of time."

"In that case, we will have support from Victoria and Kjerag."

Ifrit also muttered while counting on his fingers, but he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said with a smack of his lips: "It turns out that without knowing it... we can even use other countries as a help?"

"We, Rhodes Island and Reunion, are one army... Victoria's army, Kjerag's army, plus the resistance forces at the border of Kazdel..."

After counting like this, Ifrit's expression changed slightly, and he said:

"Oh my god...are we so powerful now?"

“What else? Without these supports, how can I dare to fight Kazdel head-on? Wouldn’t that be courting death?” Chen Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this. However, he actually realized only now that the energy they now have... is indeed extremely powerful.

It is so powerful that it can make the entire continent tremble. Kazdel has to go all out to resist the power of the sharp edge... This is all the trump cards Chen Qi can mobilize now.

And Kazdel... Chen Qi didn't know whether Tracys had any other skills, but now, he had to go all out to deal with the various problems that Tracys would give him next.

In the past, Chen Qi had never fought with Tracys on the battlefield through strategies, tactics and plans. Chen Qi had no idea about Tracys' command ability and his deterrent power on the battlefield as a king.

However, Chen Qi would not underestimate Tracys. He was able to defeat all the opposing voices with his iron fist and become the king of Kazdel. He must have his strengths.

The king of Kazdel may be the most cunning and powerful opponent Chen Qi has ever encountered on the battlefield.

There was an essential difference between the two in their vision. For the first time, Chen Qi began to doubt his own command ability.

He might be a good leader of a force, but... this is a battle of national war level, Chen Qi doesn't know if he can handle it...

Everything is brewing, and no one knows except the day when it actually comes.

Chapter 285: Kal'tsit's plan for Chen Qi

“The day of launching a general offensive against Kazdel is not far away. I have made all the necessary preparations and have planned everything very well. But I know that this war has nothing to do with strategy or tactics.

Even though Tracy and I have never communicated, we are the same people. We both know that we are now fully prepared to face the inevitable real war.

The time for discussing tactics and strategies has passed. All that remains is fighting and killing, a complete confrontation of hard power.

But, it’s a bit funny, at this critical juncture, I actually felt a little hesitant.

...I hope my current lack of confidence and anxiety will not affect my future command. The matchup with Tracys will be my biggest challenge, and I must be fully prepared. "

After writing all of this down in his notebook, Chen Qi let out a long breath. The increasingly gloomy feeling in his heart made him feel more and more uneasy.

Chen Qi has a habit of expressing his emotions through handwritten notes when he feels anxious, which allows him to completely relax.

However, these are only temporary solutions and not a fundamental solution. Although Chen Qi's current condition does not seem to be a problem, he is indeed very anxious.

He hadn't felt it before, but now... the battle with Kazdel was imminent, and Chen Qi suddenly felt the pressure like a mountain.

The scale of the battle with Kazdel this time was larger than any battle Chen Qi had ever commanded. Chen Qi, who was always confident in the past, was actually unconfident this time.

He began to question his own abilities...whether he could really command a war that was comparable in scale to a national war.

This time is different from the past. Chen Qi is commanding not only the people from Rhodes Island headquarters, and this time, it is not just the Reunion Movement - there are many other existences.

Victoria, Kjerag, Kazdel's resistance... the lives of so many people depended on his own thoughts.

Indeed, Chen Qi felt the pressure... unprecedented pressure.

And most importantly, this pressure... he can't tell anyone else.

He is the supreme commander of Rhodes Island, now "Avalon". He must have confidence in himself, and his anxiety must not be confided to others, otherwise, this anxious mood may infect other people in Rhodes Island and affect morale.

The war is imminent, and Chen Qi must not let this negative emotion affect anyone in "Avalon". Once this anxiety spreads... it will be irreversible.

He had to be calm, he had to be confident… he had to be fearless.

"…Maybe I should do something else to relieve my distraction."

Chen Qi murmured to himself. At this moment, even he could feel his own anxiety. Suppressing the feeling by force, Chen Qi slowly exhaled and walked slowly towards the training room.

However, just as Chen Qi was leaving, a figure in a tattered black robe flashed by behind him and quickly disappeared into the corner.

……

"Click."

With the sound of the sensor door, Shining, dressed in a black robe, came to a room quietly and looked at the group of people in front of him.

Shining is very familiar with these people. They all have a close relationship with Chen Qi. And this time, it’s not just them, Kal’tsit and Doctor are also among them.

"...Just as you all think, the Son of Revelation is in a very bad state at the moment."

Shining's words shattered the last glimmer of fantasy of everyone present. Shining's expression, which had always been calm, wrinkled slightly, and he said to the group of people:

"My Originium skills... can clearly sense the anxiety coming from the Son of Revelation. He restrained his Originium skills very well, but he still couldn't avoid the release of his emotions."

"…Just as I thought, he has begun to feel the enormous pressure recently."

On the other hand, Kal'tsit shook her head in distress after hearing this, and said with a slight sigh:

"He may not have felt that way before, but now that he is facing a powerful enemy, he has finally begun to question himself... It is really too much for him to bear such a huge pressure alone."

"After all, who wouldn't be nervous..." The doctor next to him seemed to understand Chen Qi's anxiety at the moment very well. Even he could feel the oppressive feeling.

“Our opponent… is the entire Kazdel. This is a true national war…”

"So, it's not just him, we're all very nervous." Kal'tsit nodded, but still said with some worry:

"But he is different from us. He is our top commander now. Anyone can feel fear and anxiety - but he absolutely cannot."

This is not harsh on Chen Qi, but natural. He who wears the crown must bear its weight. Chen Qi now sits in this position and must bear all the pressure.

——But this is not a good sign. Pressure can make people explode, but this kind of pressure like a mountain may crush people.

Although Kal'tsit and the others were very confident in Chen Qi, Chen Qi's anxiety and uneasiness made them nervous.

Chen Qi's decision was the key point that would directly affect the entire battle situation. Although the war with Kazdel was no longer a matter of micromanagement, people were still the most important thing. However, as the highest commander in the confrontation with Tresis, Chen Qi's decision was also crucial.

The ever-changing battlefield and the ideological struggle between the two are like a game of chess. The two will use all their tactics and strategies on this chessboard.

The more times like this happen, the more Chen Qi's mentality must not have any problems. He is the chess player and the most critical member.

"That means we have to help Chen Qi relieve some of his stress?" Upon hearing this, Amiya's long rabbit ears shook slightly, as if she suddenly thought of something.

For a moment, many pairs of eyes couldn't help but look at those people who had already established a relationship with Chen Qi. At this moment, everyone thought of the same idea at the same time.

"…Don't look at us. We've tried it before."

However, Ifrit shook his head slightly and said in distress:

"We have thought of this method a long time ago, but no matter how hard we try, this guy...always says he has no interest in it."

"...Chen Qi has been very depressed recently." Skadi nodded after hearing this. Although her face was calm, she was a little depressed as she said:

"It's as if he has lost interest in everything all of a sudden. I always see him sitting alone on the top of the ship, staring blankly into the distance... I don't know what he's thinking."

"——It's as if he has shut himself up all of a sudden." Jessica shook her head and continued, "He needs to be released, but his rationality at the moment prevents him from doing such a thing. Obviously, he is getting a little stuck in a dead end now."

"It's easy."

However, Huang, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly thought of something, raised his hand with bright eyes and said:

"Why don't we just let him get drunk and have sex? Then we can get him drunk one after another, and then take this opportunity to let Ifrit and the others - I'm just kidding..."

As if he felt the gazes of the people around him, Huang's voice became smaller and smaller, until he finally chose to shut up to save his life.

In fact, even Huang himself didn’t know why he appeared here this time.

Just after hearing about Chen Qi's situation, she silently chose to follow in. Even though she knew she might not be able to help, she still chose to come here.

"...No, I think Huang's idea is quite good."

However, unexpectedly, the first person to agree with Huang's opinion was Kal'tsit.

"Ifrit, you know Chen Qi. What's the limit of Chen Qi's drinking capacity?" Kal'tsit turned her head and looked at Ifrit and asked.

"--147 kilograms of vodka, bottles of beer or wheat wine, not sure about the red wine, he has never been drunk after drinking red wine." Obviously, Ifrit remembered all this in mind and answered immediately.

"...It looks like a long-distance workload."

After a moment of hesitation, Kal'tsit's voice came slowly, and this time, an inexplicable pressure once again enveloped the hearts of the group...

Chapter 286: Lost in a Dream...

"Party? What party?"

"Don't you know? Chen Qi, this is our big day of the year in Rhodes Island!"

In Chen Qi's office, Amiya, Huang, and Javier said to Chen Qi with enthusiasm and excitement that they might never show in their lifetime:

"Today marks the tenth anniversary of the birth of Rhodes Island." Amiya smiled gently, without a trace of anything on her face. No one could tell from her expression that she was talking nonsense.

"Chen Qi, you may not know that Rhodes Island was excavated from the underground of Rembil by Her Majesty Queen Theresa."

"Rhodes Island is a trump card that Your Majesty has hidden in his hand for a long time, which is the land aircraft carrier under our feet now."

"If it weren't for your Majesty's foresight, perhaps we would have been shrouded in the darkness of Terra and would not see a glimmer of hope. Your Majesty used Rhodes Island to gather like-minded people like us, so that we can have a place to live in this era."

"So, this day is the happiest day of the year for us. Everyone in Rhode Island will gather together for a party."

"Today is exactly the tenth anniversary, we must celebrate it properly."

"……Yeah?"

However, Amiya's innocent demeanor and expression were not threatening at all and were extremely convincing, but Chen Qi was stunned for a long time after hearing that. It was unknown how long it was before he spoke with some hesitation.

Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the discovery of Rhodes Island? How come he didn't know about it? When did it happen?

To be honest, Chen Qi had been in Rhodes Island for so many years and had never heard of such an event. The surviving old employees of Rhodes Island had never mentioned this matter, and even the future sister Amiya had never told Chen Qi about it.

But now, Amiya swore solemnly, and Huang and Javier both looked sincere, this...

——Chen Qi began to wonder if it was because he had come to the island at the wrong time. At that time, Rhodes Island had forgotten about such a party because of the huge problems it had faced, so no one mentioned it.

After all, as the supreme commander, Chen Qi had never heard of Rhodes Island celebrating such a day. After all, even Chen Qi himself didn't know when Rhodes Island would break ground.

But... since that's what you said, Chen Qi has no objection.

"...That's good. Now that the war is approaching, the operators of Rhodes Island really need a chance to relax."

It's a good opportunity to relax... Chen Qi didn't say this himself. In fact, he knew in his heart that he needed to relax.

But Chen Qi lacked a good reason. It just so happened that this "traditional festival" of Rhode Island could help ease the current tense atmosphere in Rhode Island.

The war is approaching, and everyone needs rest, including Chen Qi. Therefore, he will not refuse this rare opportunity.

As soon as Chen Qi relaxed his mouth, Amiya, Javier and Huang all breathed a sigh of relief - the plan worked.

Sure enough, just as Dr. Kal'tsit said, Chen Qi trusted them so much that he had almost no guard against them.
