Chapter 1330.
After this battle, I will return home.
This was a flag that Wang Dust had set for himself.
There was no such thing as auspicious or unlucky, for Wang Dust, who had fused the source power of the Star Ocean World, he had his own local realm’s fortune to add to his fortune, and was not affected by metaphysical things.
But truly speaking, his plan to return to the Haotian Realm was delayed again and again.
Earlier, he had thought that he would leave this world once the customized mecha was completed, not letting down Ming Mei’s sincerity.
Unexpectedly, an unprecedentedly fierce war had again delayed Wang Chen’s departure.
The invasion of the Underworld Clan this time was obviously planned for a long time, and the time chosen was also quite skillful, right before the Empire ushered in the New Year, which was equivalent to the New Year’s Eve in Wang Dust’s previous life.
At this time, dozens of star clusters within the empire’s territory, billions and billions of people were celebrating the New Year, and even though the border region’s guards were still tight, they didn’t maintain the highest level of vigilance.
After all, in the past year, the Empire had won several great victories against the Underworld Race, dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the alien race.
Who would have thought that the counterattack of the Underworld Race would come so violently and ferociously.
In only half a month’s time, the North Sea star cluster fell, and the Imperial fleet stationed at the North Sea star was completely wiped out, not only losing two star gates, but also losing three space fortresses.
If it wasn’t for the two imperial fleets rushing to help at the critical moment and resisting the attack of the Underworld Race, the tens of billions of imperial people in the North Sea star cluster would have to face the disaster of extinction.
It was just that although these two fleets covered the evacuation of most of the imperial citizens, they also paid an extremely heavy price.
Three Titan battleships fell!
More than a million and seven hundred thousand officers and soldiers died in battle, and thousands of cruisers, destroyers, and frigates of all types.
Such huge casualties shook the highest levels of the Empire.
At the same time that the North Sea star cluster fell, the Iron Lion star cluster was in an emergency situation, and the previously recovered Tampas star cluster was also attacked by the Underworld Race, making the situation of the Empire’s border area extremely grim.
What made the Holy Light Emperor even more furious was the fact that the Alliance of Stars was actually moving, deploying a new fleet of main fleets in the neighboring star fields of the two sides.
For a while, the Empire was actually surrounded by enemies on all sides!
Under such circumstances, the Ministry of War began to deploy more forces to the border regions to deal with the next war.
As an active major officer, Wang Dust received a call-up letter from the military department.
Wang Dust responded to this call-up.
Even at this time, he had already condensed a split soul, and could completely detach himself from the Star Ocean World, allowing the split soul to continue exploring in this big world in his place.
And the reason why Wang Chen did not leave immediately was because he wanted to participate in this war.
On the one hand, it was due to karma.
It was undeniable that he in this world was deeply bound to the Sacred Light Empire, so it could be said that it was a matter of glory and loss, so he was obligated to help the empire fight against the invasion of the foreign races.
Another aspect was that a war of such a massive scale was bound to have a significant impact on this world.
There existed the possibility of acquiring a new source of the world!
There was also the fact that Wang Chen also wanted to try out the real-world effects of the War God Mecha.
“Wait for me to return.”
When it was time to say goodbye, Wang Chen hugged his two girlfriends at the same time and comforted, “You don’t have to worry, I’ll definitely come back alive with a medal of victory!”
As for Tang Mi and Ming Mei, despite the ten thousand reluctance and incomparable worries in their hearts, they didn’t want Wang Chuan to become a deserter, so they sent parting kisses with tears in their eyes.
Under the gazes of envy and jealousy of a crowd of recruits, Wang Dust boarded the 7th Fast Reverse Fleet’s Cruiser Guanghui.
The Glory cruiser was the flagship of the Seventh Rapid Reaction Fleet, and it was also the newest model of battle cruiser, with a total mass of more than half a million tons, and its firepower, protection and maneuverability were all very powerful.
As a Glorious Noble, Wang Dust was actually completely able to refuse this war call-up.
And as he chose to join the war, he naturally enjoyed special treatment.
For example, serving on the Radiance.
Not only that, upon boarding the Radiance, his rank was automatically raised by one level, becoming a lieutenant colonel officer of the Imperial Army.
Although it was temporary in nature, Wang Chen also possessed a high-specification independent rest cabin.
And after Wang Dust boarded the ship, the commander of the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet, Zhao Kai, invited him to the Radiance’s general headquarters to participate in the fleet’s plan of action.
The 7th Rapid Reaction Fleet received the mission to support the Iron Lion Star Cluster, because the distance between the Taiwu Star Cluster and the Iron Lion Star Cluster wasn’t very far, the fleet only needed seven days to arrive.
Currently, the Iron Lion Star Cluster was being attacked by the Underworld Race, and the battle on the front line was extremely tense, and the losses of the garrison fleet stationed at the Star Cluster were very heavy, so they were in urgent need of backup support.
Therefore the movements of the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet could not be sluggish at all.
At the meeting held at the command headquarters, Zhao Kai informed the fleet’s top officers of the latest situation and then gave the order to rush to the Iron Lion star cluster at full speed.
After the meeting ended, Wang Dust was left alone by Zhao Kai.
“Lieutenant Colonel Wang, the conditions of the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet are not as good as the main fleet, so you can tell me what you want.”
Over half a hundred years old, Lieutenant General Zhao Kai’s temperament was on the courteous side, looking not like a battle-hardened fleet commander but a tutor-professor in a military academy, and his tone of voice was gentle.
“As long as it can be solved, I will definitely help you out.”
But Wang Dust would not underestimate the other party because of this, and smiled, “Thank you, sir, but I’m not here to enjoy myself, as long as the fleet needs me to contribute, I’ll definitely obey orders!”
“Very well.”
Zhao Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the entire Seventh Fast Reverse Fleet, Wang Dust was undoubtedly a very special existence.
The first thing was that he was a Glorious Noble, the only one inside the fleet, and even looking at the entire Imperial Army, there weren’t a few of the same rank.
Secondly, Wang Chuan is a rising star that the Sacred Light Emperor focuses on, and can be said to be Jane in the heart of the Emperor.
Finally Wang Dust is also the strongest superpower in the empire – it is said.
With such layers of status added on, it would be impossible for this fleet commander to treat Wang Duan as an ordinary officer.
There was even a need to consider Wang Dust’s life!
After thinking about it, Zhao Kai tentatively asked, “Commander Wang, I heard that you once killed a Spectral Dragon?”
This news came from the highest level, but there was no way to verify the authenticity, he had also heard about it, but didn’t dare to believe it completely.
And this time, when he went out to battle the Iron Lion Star Cluster, he was bound to encounter the Underworld Legion, and the probability of a Psi-Dragon appearing was extremely high.
The Psi-Dragon was an existence capable of resisting a Titan Battleship!
If Wang Dust had really killed a Psi-Dragon, even if it was a small body, it would be a unique battle force for the entire fleet!
As the supreme commander, Zhao Kai had to understand this clearly.
It might come in handy at some point.
“Yes.”
Wang Dust replied without any hesitation.
