Chapter 984: Machines and Demons
vomit......
The women, who were enjoying the afternoon sun, saw two figures, one big and one small, lying in the grass in the distance, and could hear them vomiting from time to time.
This was accompanied by the two men's defiant shouts of defiance.
"If I hadn't eaten twenty steamed buns this morning, I definitely would have beaten you!"
"It's not like I didn't eat breakfast. I just drank a can of soda."
"You... ugh..."
"You... ugh..."
Just as the two were vomiting, a figure stood behind them.
He said in a sinister tone, "All the food you vomited up will be deducted from your welfare and salary."
At that moment, both Annie and Zhao Chen were petrified.
The women in the distance all gave Lilith a thumbs up.
As expected, there can only be one winner.
After vomiting, Zhao Chen felt much better and stretched out on the beach chair.
"You're such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child?" Charlotte handed her a bottle of stomach-soothing beverage.
Zhao Chen chuckled, took a sip of his drink, and said, "People always need to find something to relieve their stress."
I think this is great; it's like forgetting everything around me.
Charlotte shook her head helplessly. This man was just so strange; sometimes he was like a giant, and other times he was like a child.
"How's the war between the demons and angels going?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Although the demon race still holds the advantage at present, the support of our starships, especially star missiles, has prevented the angel race's front from collapsing at the first blow."
"But I don't think we'll last until the end of the year," Charlotte said.
Zhao Chen was silent for a moment before saying, "If we join now, how confident are you that we can destroy the demon legion?"
Charlotte frowned slightly. Normally, the best option for the Dragonflight clan right now would be to stand aside and wait for the Angels and Demons to fight.
But since the commander asked that question, there must be a reason.
“That depends on the extent of the elimination,” Charlotte asked.
Zhao Chen looked at the task box that appeared in front of him.
【Annual Tasks】
Mission objective: Kill six demon marshals and destroy the demon legion they command.
Task Reward: Annual Gift Pack (The shorter the completion time, the higher the reward)
Mission Completion: Marshal Red Devil and the Red Devil Legion have been destroyed.
The main reason Zhao Chen wanted to participate was because of this annual task.
The description of this task is vague.
However, if we analyze it based on the first case...
This kill doesn't mean Zhao Chen needs to do it personally. The Red Demon died as punishment from the Demon King of the Demon Race, so this counts as completing the mission.
However, Zhao Chen did not completely wipe out the Red Demon Legion; many of their interstellar warships escaped back after that battle.
However, the legion's designation was later revoked by the Demon King, and all the original Red Demon Legion's interstellar warships were reorganized and incorporated into other demon legions.
From then on, the Red Devil Legion became a thing of the past.
This also allowed Zhao Chen to complete one of his annual targets.
This means that determining whether the demon legion has been destroyed does not require the complete annihilation of the entire demon legion fleet.
However, this point is still somewhat ambiguous.
Zhao Chen needs to explore this further.
However, the general direction can be determined.
We've completed one metric; five more are needed.
There are only three months left until the end of the year.
The rewards for annual missions are always very generous, so Zhao Chen couldn't possibly not give it a try.
"Kill the supreme commander of the demon legion and destroy an entire organized demon legion to the greatest extent possible," Zhao Chen stated his idea.
Charlotte frowned slightly: "This is quite difficult."
“You can use any means necessary to fulfill my requests before the end of the year,” Zhao Chen said.
“I understand. I will formulate some battle plans when I get back,” Charlotte nodded.
This task is somewhat difficult, but since it was proposed by the commander, she has to find a way to complete it.

Just then, Lilith walked over quickly.
When she reached Zhao Chen, she raised her hand and activated a shielding field.
This shielding position encompassed Zhao Chen, Charlotte, and herself.
"Something happened?" Zhao Chen looked at Lilith's serious expression and guessed what had happened.
Charlotte also cast an inquiring glance at her.
There are very few things that can make Lilith so serious right now.
"You previously instructed us to arrange a fleet of interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships to investigate the area designated by the leader of the machine race."
"Just now, I received the intelligence message," Lilith replied.
"What was the result?" Zhao Chen's expression also turned serious.
"We've discovered a starship manufacturing zone in this area!" Lilith dropped a bombshell. "And what's being produced and built there are the starships currently in service with the Demon Race."
Our people also captured footage of the Demon fleet appearing in this sector alongside the Mech fleet!
"Are the demon race and the machine race colluding?"
"And they even supply interstellar warships to the demon race?" Charlotte looked astonished.
【Quest (The Secret of the Machine Race)】
Phase 1 Mission: Locate the coordinates of the Mechanical Prophet. (Completed)
Phase Two Mission: Currently Updating...
A task notification popped up in Zhao Chen's mind. This was a system task that had appeared when the little mechanical girl had asked him for a favor.
Since there was no penalty for not completing the task, Zhao Chen accepted it on the spot.
It seems that the starship manufacturing industrial zone discovered in this investigation is the location of that mechanical prophet.
"Is that legendary mechanical prophet there?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Because the enemy is a machine race, and we are worried about being exposed, our T4 Banshee-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships cannot intrude on the enemy's communication equipment as recklessly as usual."
However, some intelligence was still obtained, and the term "mechanical prophet" appeared five times in the intelligence.
Therefore, it can be concluded that this place is definitely related to the Mechanical Prophet, and the Mechanical Prophet is most likely located here!
Zhao Chen scratched his head: "This matter is quite complicated."
The Machine Race built interstellar warships for the Demon Race...
"Should we help that leader of the machine race resolve this problem?" Lilith asked.
"How many mechanical race troops are there in this area?" Zhao Chen asked.
"According to our Banshee reconnaissance ships, there are 300,000 resident Mech race starships, including T5-class interstellar warships."
"If we launch an attack, there's a high chance we'll receive a large number of machine fleets as reinforcements, and there's also a possibility that demon starships will appear," Lilith said.
Zhao Chen rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice, "This job is no small matter."
No, I need to talk to that girl some more.
