Chapter 539: Shen Que Sends the Location of the Dark Order Headquarters

Chapter 539 Shen Que Sends the Coordinates of the Dark Order's Headquarters

To avoid cutthroat competition, each military branch was only permitted to eliminate enemy aircraft within their current operational zones.

Military Northern District

Charles said urgently, "Zhang Ze, quick! Your boss has been kidnapped. Hurry up and come with me to rescue her! If we can take out the leader of the Dark Order this time, our Northern District will save face!"

Zhang Ze, "My boss? Wu Yue!? How could she get kidnapped with Shen Que around?"

Charles, "They said Wu Yue was ambushed on her way back to Blaze from Desert Rose. Signals were jammed, so Shen Que couldn’t reach her."

Zhang Ze, "...My dad’s gonna lose it."

As they hurried along, Charles called Frank and Sally to join them.

Sally’s face turned pale with worry, "Will Miss Wu Yue be okay? I heard those assassins are extremely brutal. They might even harm women—"

Sally abruptly stopped herself, covering her mouth, and muttered frantic prayers, "Please let Miss Wu Yue be safe."

Charles, "Stay calm, everyone. Stay calm!"

Military Western District

....

Just as Li Yiran boarded the spacecraft, he received a communication from Xiya, "Xiuli’s missing. I’ve tried every bounty hunter contact method to reach her, but I can’t find her."

Xiya was in a total panic. With Wu Yue kidnapped and Wu Xiuli missing, she was at a loss.

Li Yiran, "Wait for me where you are. I’ll come pick you up."

Military Eastern District

....

Qing Xuan stood in the main control room of the spacecraft, observing the distribution of Dark Order vessels.

Qing Xuan, "Take them all out. Don’t let a single one of those sons of bitches escape."

The adjutant cautioned, "But Young Marshal, Miss Wu Yue might have been kidnapped by them. What if the bombing run harms Miss Wu Yue..."

Qing Xuan frowned, "Has the enemy provided any negotiation terms for releasing the hostage?"

The adjutant, "No."

Qing Xuan, "Then bombard them. If they’re holding a hostage, they must prove her worth. If we don’t keep the pressure on the Dark Order relentlessly, Wu Yue will be in even greater danger. The more we push them to the brink, the more they’ll protect Wu Yue and use her as a bargaining chip."

"Yes, sir!"

As shells from all four military districts rained down, every Dark Order scout ship and small to medium-sized spacecraft outside the flagship was wiped out.

The moment the spacecraft were shot down, ground troops and spacecraft teams, already standing ready, immediately gave chase, surrounded them, and bombarded them relentlessly.

Until—

All military spacecraft targeted the Dark Order flagship and issued warnings to open fire.

The deputy general inquired, "Young Marshal, what if the enemy still won’t restore communications?"

Qing Xuan narrowed his eyes, "Then just sink their flagship."

These outlaws are vicious and ruthless; unless pushed to the brink, they will never initiate contact.

The deputy general said, "But... Young Marshal, what if General Qinglong finds out about this..."

Qing Xuan, "I'll take all responsibility. If Wu Yue dies, we'll need to give an explanation—I’ll offer my life in return."

The moment Qing Xuan gave the order to bombard, the entire military command erupted. Qinglong’s communicator was instantly flooded.

Baihu, Zhou Qianfeng, Jiang Li—the three highest leaders of the alliance—were practically ready to blow the roof off.

Qinglong, "..." No, he had thought Qing Xuan had feelings for Wu Yue!!!

Turns out this kid genuinely just wants to wipe out the Dark Order, plain and simple!!

Right now, he’d rather his son be immoral, a home-wrecker!!

When Li Yiran and Charles saw that Qing Xuan had actually issued the bombing order for the Dark Order’s flagship, their scalps crawled.

Zhang Ze leaped up, "Fuck!! What the hell is that Eastern Major General doing?!"

Charles held him back, "Calm down, stay calm. Qing Xuan is forcing the Dark Order to initiate contact and negotiate the hostage’s release."

Zhang Ze, "What if my boss gets blown up?! If my dad goes mad, he’ll take out the entire military command!!"

Charles was also stressed, "...You’re not wrong, no no... it’s fine, it’s fine! Qing Xuan knows what he’s doing!!"

Xiya stared intently at the main control panel, she snatched Li Yiran’s communicator to go after Qing Xuan.

Li Yiran quickly held her back to prevent her from acting recklessly, "Calm down, stay calm. Qing Xuan’s tactics are sound. He has the most distant relationship with Wu Yue, so he can handle this situation with a level head. If we don’t bombard them, giving the Dark Order time to react could lead to Wu Yue being harmed."

Xiya’s reddened eyes glared at him, she demanded, "What if Wu Yue gets killed in the bombing?"

As countless shells converged toward the Dark Order’s flagship, everyone stared fixedly at it.

Just as the countless shells were about to hit the Dark Order’s ship, everyone saw the ship move suddenly like an arrow shot from a bow, with a weird, unpredictable course.

The moment Zhang Ze saw the ship’s movement, he yelled, "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, that’s my boss! That has to be my boss piloting!! No one in the whole world but her—with that brain, insane speed, and reflexes—could pull off such an insane maneuver!!"

Charles was utterly astonished, "Are you sure? If you’re sure, I’ll relay this to the military command immediately."

Zhang Ze said, "I’m sure, I’m sure! I’ve faced off against the military’s pilots—even their top ship pilots can’t pull off something like this. I seriously doubt an assassin organization has a pilot this skilled. Plus, I was trained by my boss herself—I’ve seen her pilot countless times. It has to be Wu Yue! Absolutely Wu Yue!"

Charles was totally stunned, "What is Wu Yue doing on the Dark Order’s ship?! She’s a hostage, yet she’s helping the Dark Order fly them out of this mess!!"

Li Yiran watched the Dark Order’s sudden change in flight path with suspicion.

Soon after, he received a message from Charles. Li Yiran immediately told Xiya, "The pilot on Charles’s side says Wu Yue is the one piloting the ship."

Xiya excitedly nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, Yue Yue is an incredible pilot. She once saved the Desert Rose before."

Li Yiran, "Calm down first, keep trying to contact Wu Xiuli."

Xixiya, "Okay."

The adjutant stared in disbelief at the Dark Order shuttle's trajectory. "How does an assassin organization like the Dark Order have an operator with such phantom-like maneuvers? No wonder they always manage to escape our pursuit."

Qing Xuan's eyes were fixed on the Dark Order's flight path. He shook his head repeatedly. "No... this definitely isn't the same operator the Dark Order has been using to evade us all along. He couldn't possibly achieve this level."

"Who... who exactly is piloting the Dark Order shuttle to dodge our bombardment?"

Just as Qing Xuan was racking his brains,

His communicator suddenly rang. Qing Xuan glanced at it.

Instantly, the entire main cockpit fell into an uncanny silence.

Qing Xuan, "It's Wuyue."

The adjutant, "Huh?"

The person their entire army was desperately trying to rescue was now helping her captors escape!??

Could this legendary figure have Stockholm syndrome?!

No... this is ridiculous... it's unbelievable no matter how you look at it!!

Even if Wuyue did have Stockholm syndrome, how could the Dark Order leader dare to put his own life and the lives of everyone on the shuttle in the hands of a hostage—their intended target!??

Just as the military struggled after losing their target, with Wuyue piloting the Dark Order shuttle and making a clean getaway,

They suddenly received a private message.

"Shen Que: Coordinates of the Dark Order headquarters"

"Transmitting current location"
