Peace in the fairyland (21): Ascension

Fortunately, Murong Ruide transmitted a message back to him, saying he saw Ouyang Siyu and Luo Changze activate the Thunder Summoning Technique. Those two should have already left this world through the void created by the technique.

Although many seniors had mentioned in the records of the jade slips that once one appeared in this world, they would quickly encounter a crisis, and if they were not careful, their experience in this world would end inexplicably, it was only after personally experiencing it that the three truly understood the tension and danger of this world.

Murong Ruide couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, wondering how difficult it must be to achieve the top and middle grades of the “Behind World” talent, given that this level of difficulty was rated as grade C.

After flying continuously for two hours, a large complex of buildings appeared on the ground ahead. The leading spaceship began to land, followed by a large group of spaceships and fighter jets landing behind it.

A new challenge had arrived.

Compared to the indigenous warriors who were skilled at piloting aircraft, the three people who were forced to take the controls for the first time began to feel anxious. Landing was much more difficult than taking off. Xia Ruize used telekinesis to cheat, forcibly stabilizing his and Cheng Huaiqian’s aircraft.

Poor Murong Ruide misjudged the situation, and the fighter jet crashed headfirst into the lawn. However, the strong and sturdy Murong Ruide himself was unharmed and managed to break open the cockpit door and escape. Meanwhile, the fighter jet behind him was engulfed in fierce flames.

Murong Ruide subtly wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a bit more relaxed. With the fighter jet destroyed and the wreckage gone, others would think the plane had crashed out of control, and wouldn’t suspect his piloting skills.

He could also take the opportunity to claim that the thick smoke damaged his throat, making it impossible for him to speak, or even say that the shock affected his ears, causing hearing loss. If necessary, he could also say that his eyes had some issues… This way, when he later shows signs of being hard to communicate with, others would be more forgiving and wouldn’t delve too deeply, allowing him to continue staying and investigating the situation in this world.

It had to be said, Murong Ruide’s considerations were quite accurate. In the chaos of the battlefield, no one bothered to investigate the cause of the damaged aircraft’s crash.

The reason for this battle was that their troop transport ship’s route was intercepted by the enemy. The enemy’s large forces ambushed along the route, surrounding our transport ships with overwhelming numbers.

If it weren’t for the enemy flagship being accidentally destroyed in the melee, this convoy of troop transports would have been left behind.

Therefore, compared to the minor battle losses, the achievements of this battle were more noteworthy.

Soon, the latest and most accurate news came back: when the enemy flagship was shot down, a large number of high-ranking military officers, including a general and three colonels, were all gathered in the flagship’s command room. Because the attack came too suddenly and too violently, there were no survivors in the command room, which was at the center of the explosion.

This news greatly excited the commanders at their command center. They immediately analyzed the battlefield situation and confirmed the results, only to discover that the key figures who turned the tide and achieved such a brilliant victory were actually two newly graduated recruits from the training camp!

“Hahaha, this is truly heaven-sent for our Louyan! Reward! Such excellent elite warriors deserve a heavy reward to boost our army’s morale!”

After reviewing the unremarkable resumes of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, the Grand Marshal of the Louyan Empire personally made the decision to fully record the achievements of shooting down the enemy flagship and breaking through the enemy encirclement in the resumes of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian.

The result of this was that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, two ordinary soldiers who had just arrived at the front line from the rear and weren’t even privates, rapidly advanced three ranks due to their enormous merit points, skipping over the ranks of private and sergeant to become junior officers, or lieutenants, in the Louyan Army.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had just finished their medical check-up at the field hospital, received a clean bill of health, and as they walked out the hospital doors, they received promotion orders along with the general’s parting words: “Keep up the good work!”

Although Murong Ruide, who was pretending to be deaf and mute behind the two, couldn’t understand what the officer delivering the good news was saying, he could see the flattering smile on the officer’s face, as well as the brand-new military uniform and insignia being offered with such eagerness, which were a stark contrast to the ones he was wearing!

Murong Ruide thought about the stack of talismans he had consumed to protect the aircraft during battle, then thought about Ouyang Siyu, who had crashed the aircraft due to improper operation, and Luo Changze, who had consumed talismans without hesitation but still couldn’t protect the aircraft. He deeply felt the difference between people.

He couldn’t help but look up at the sky, filled with doubt. Were they really in the same world as Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaichan?

Murong Ruide had too many questions he wanted to ask, such as how did Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaichan understand the language of the native people of the world? Why were they able to operate the warplanes? What did they do to earn the opportunity for promotion?

It was a pity that due to the persona he had set for himself, Murong Ruide could only remain silent, watching as the officer who brought the good news took Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian to their own separate dormitories, while he himself had to share a dormitory with over ten ordinary soldiers.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaichan were naturally pleased with their rapid promotion. Not only did it provide them with better living conditions, but more importantly, as officers, they were equipped with handheld computers and granted higher access permissions, allowing them to browse a lot of information.

This indeed surprised the two of them, and they immediately buried themselves in quickly browsing through various documents in the database, striving to obtain more information in the shortest time possible.

Soon, the two of them learned that the planet they were currently on was a newly discovered resource planet. To compete for the development rights of this resource planet, the Louyan Empire and the Yingli Empire had erupted into a fierce war, which had been ongoing for three years. Both sides had invested a vast amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources into this protracted war, and neither side could afford to back down.

The main battlefield was set on this newly discovered resource planet, where the two countries were fighting while simultaneously developing the resources. Because the already confirmed resource reserves were so abundant that neither empire could possibly give up the struggle for this resource planet, the situation had become increasingly intense.

Technological civilization? Competing for resources?

After understanding the basic situation, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian exchanged glances, this was easy to handle.

Xia Ruize released the invasion insects while using his authority to extensively record the technological data of the civilization.

In addition to this, he and Cheng Huaiqian actively performed on the battlefield while piloting their fighter jets, making their names known in the enemy command center while accumulating a large number of merits. In just half a month, They were rapidly promoted two ranks, from Second Lieutenant to First Lieutenant, and then to Major, breaking the record for the fastest promotion to Major in the Louyan military!

This was still because the speed at which they accumulate achievements was simply too fast. After discussing it, the generals at the Louyan military command had no choice but to manually slow down the rocket-like promotion speed of these two young men.

Of course, these achievements were not easily earned. For half a month, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaichan had hardly rested, actively participating in battles day and night. In every battle they took part in, no matter how tight the defenses of the Yingli side were, the two pilots would break through layer upon layer of defense and destroy the enemy’s command ship.

Now, as Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian walked through the military camp, everyone knew and recognized them. Everyone was aware that these two had won the favor of many senior officials at the command center and were the top favorites in front of the commanders.

These two were clearly rookies, but their skills in piloting fighter jets were incredibly fierce. Every time they went into battle, they acted as sharp blades, ruthlessly piercing through the enemy’s formations and helping their side achieve victory.

Moreover, they successfully carried out more than ten decapitation plans, killing dozens of mid- to high-ranking officers in the Yingli military, placing them at the top of the Yingli military command’s list of targets for elimination.

The days when Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian shone brilliantly on the battlefield came to an end half a month later when they were ordered to assist a new batch of troop transport ships coming from the rear to the front lines.

Similar to the previous situation, the route of Louyan’s troop transport ship was discovered by Yingli. The Yingli army set up an ambush in advance, intending to attack Louyan’s troop transport ship, but they were unaware that Louyan had already arranged a backup plan and prepared a counter-encirclement.

The grand strategy had nothing to do with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian; what concerned them was the paper crane sent from one of the Luoyan transport ships.

The master of the paper crane turned out to be Li Shunchen. He risked entering this forsaken world to warn Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaqian, and Murong Ruide that the hole connecting the two worlds was accelerating its rotation, and they must leave this world as soon as possible!

This news was just shocking.

The paper crane was flying too slowly, so Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian directly used Louyan’s communication channel to inform Murong Ruide, who was stationed at the rear base. After confirming that Murong Ruide and Li Shunchen had activated the Thunder Summoning Technique to leave this world, the two of them piloted their fighter jets towards the command ship in the Yingli Army formation.

After being “decapitated” repeatedly, the command center of the Yingli Army for each operation was set up on a spaceship that looked the same as other ships, trying to confuse the enemy. Unfortunately, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had divine consciousness, which directly penetrated the spaceship and scanned the ranks of the people in the cockpit, allowing them to know which target to aim at.

Unlike before, this time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian chose a mutually assured destruction tactic. Their fighter jets and the command rooms of two spaceships exploded together, and the chain reaction of the explosions drew the attention of the entire battlefield, leaving countless people standing in shock.

This battle ultimately ended with the defeat of the Yingli Army, and the news of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s sacrifice was tightly concealed by the Louyan military.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian left this world at the last moment, but the aftermath of this battle continued to expand.
