Chapter 2097: Wiped Out and Spirit Chasing Plan (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Elder, the commander-in-chief requests to speak to you directly.” In the Sanctuary, the confidentiality chief, Xu Shifeng, knocked on the door and reported. This was the privilege of being a trusted aide. Within and outside the Sanctuary, only Xu Shifang could call Xu Yi an elder. The others had to call him the Great Elder.
“Oh?” Great Elder Xu Yi, who was reviewing important documents, had already smiled when he looked up. “Zhijia wants to talk to me? It looks like our Invincible War God has achieved results. He wants to take credit from me.”
Xu Yi took the communication device from Xu Shifang’s hand. However, Xu Shifang did not respond to Xu Yi. Instead, he had a respectful expression. This made the heart of Xu Yi, who had just taken the communication device, suddenly skip a beat. “What is it?”
“This… Elder, I just received a rumor that the battle is not going smoothly, but the information is very vague. It’s still under investigation,” Xu Shifeng reported.
“The battle is not going smoothly?” Xu Yi repeated those words heavily. After a thousand thoughts, he already understood.
No wonder Xu Zhijia wanted to talk to him. In the past, no matter how many battle merits he obtained, the Invincible War God would always submit a simple battle report. He would usually only see the detailed battle report reported by the staff team a few days later.
This was the first time he had asked to talk to him. Could it be that the battle was not going smoothly? With a serious expression, Great Elder Xu Yi accepted the communication request of Xu Zhijia.
“Zhijia, how are the results?” Xu Yi asked with a hearty laugh, but his face was filled with seriousness. This was the basic etiquette of a politician.
“Great Elder, I… lost!”
Even though Great Elder Xu Yi was already mentally prepared, he was still stunned when he heard these words. The Spiritual Race’s Invincible War God had actually personally said that he had lost?
How was that possible! He knew about the ability of the Spiritual Race’s Xu Zhijia. He had also witnessed it with his own eyes. It was possible for Xu Zhijia to suffer heavy losses, or even lose a battle.
However, Xu Yi knew very well how difficult it was to personally say the words ‘I lost’.
Xu Yi thought that he had heard wrongly. He subconsciously asked, “Zhijia, what did you say?”
On the other end of the communication device, Xu Zhijia stood in the ruined defense fortress with a bitter expression. He held the communication device in his hand and wanted to repeat what he had just said to Great Elder Xu Yi. He tried a few times, but no sound came out.
In the past, he had never cared about victory or defeat. This was because he was the winner in every battle. He was the Invincible War God! He had never lost in a hundred years. At most, he would suffer a partial loss and immediately find his way back.
Now, Xu Zhijia felt extremely difficult to say those words as a loser. Was this the feeling of a failure? He hated failing! However, at this moment, he had to face it. “Great Elder, I… lost!” For some reason, Xu Zhijia felt an indescribable sense of relief after repeating this sentence.
“Tell me in detail.” When he suddenly heard the bad news, Great Elder Xu Yi also displayed the qualities of a top politician. He was calm. His expression did not change when facing a calamity. However, Xu Zhijia’s subsequent report became Great Elder Xu Yi’s exclamation mark.
Xu Shifang, who was listening at the side, kept raising his eyebrows to express his surprise.
“Great Elder, the Blue Star enemy launched a surprise attack on Asteroid 570 and carried out a beheading operation. They killed Deputy Commander Xu Huacheng and eighteen Nine Satellites.”
“What? You said that Huacheng died in battle?”
This time, Xu Zhijia did not want to repeat it again. It was already very uncomfortable and painful to personally report such results. It was simply torture to repeat it. Xu Huacheng was his subordinate and his comrade. They had been friends for decades!
“After receiving the battle report, I led the main force to Asteroid 570 and began to attack the defense fortress at the node of the Blue Star Expeditionary Force’s cosmic tunnel.
“We attacked twice in a row. After a bloody battle, we suffered heavy losses. When we finally attacked the defense fortress, we realized that the Blue Star Expeditionary Force had already escaped through the quantum teleportation channel. We failed on the verge of success. I… lost!” Xu Zhijia reported the situation of the battle in the shortest language.
After hearing this short battle report, Great Elder Xu Yi heaved a sigh of relief. It was just a loss in a battle, and the Blue Star Expeditionary Force had escaped. It was not a big problem.
Before today’s battle, the Blue Star Expeditionary Force had successfully escaped more than a dozen times under the siege of the Spiritual Race army. This was not the first time. Moreover, from the situation of the battle this time, it was an improvement.
In the past, their Spiritual Race army could not even touch the tail of the Blue Star’s enemies. They would eat farts every time. This time, they could actually catch up to the Blue Star enemy and engage in an offensive and defensive battle. They even bit him.
This meant that the Invincible War God of the Spiritual Race was ultimately the Invincible War God. He was much more powerful than the other commanders of the Spiritual Race. At the thought of this, Xu Yi consoled Xu Zhi, “Zhijia, there’s no need to do this. It’s just a local loss. Deploy immediately. Work harder and take advantage of the situation to pursue and catch up. Then, bite the enemy of the Blue Star. I believe that next time, you will definitely be able to wipe out the enemy of the Blue Star.”
On the other end of the communication device, Xu Zhijia had a bitter expression.
