HCB Chapter 268 Rescue Operation
Chapter 268 Rescue Operation
Ring ring ring!!!
The sharp and piercing sound of a telephone ring cut through the sky, piercing through the clouds like a bullet. Ye Fan, who was traveling at supersonic speed in the air, frowned suddenly, paused, and his speed suddenly slowed down.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the vibrating phone. The three words "Lin Qiye" flashing on the screen were particularly eye-catching. Ye Fan muttered to himself: "Why did he call at this critical moment?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Fan pressed the answer button, put the phone close to his ear, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, this is Ye Fan."
"Commander Ye, this is Lin Qiye." A low and firm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah." Ye Fan glanced at the time displayed on the phone screen and had a rough idea in his mind, "You should have arrived in Shangjing, right?"
"We're here." Lin Qiye's answer was concise and clear, without any hesitation.
Ye Fan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then said: "Team 006 stationed in Shangjing City still has a lot of things to deal with. You can move freely in Shangjing for a day and have a good rest to adjust your state. The last confrontation will be carried out tomorrow morning. The specific form of the confrontation should be notified to you by someone from Team 006."
However, Lin Qiye didn't seem to care about these arrangements. His tone suddenly became unusually serious, even with a hint of solemnity: "Commander Ye, I'm not calling about this."
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What is going on?"
Lin Qiye's tone seemed a little anxious, "I really want to know where Senior Sword Saint went?"
Hearing this question, Ye Fan suddenly froze, as if he was frozen in place. After a long while, he came back to his senses, frowned and asked back: "Why do you ask this?"
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then whispered: "For some reason, I gained the ability to predict his future..."
At this point, Lin Qiye paused for a moment, then continued solemnly: "Based on what I saw, he is currently in an extremely dangerous situation, and may even... lose his life."
Ye Fan's hand holding the phone trembled involuntarily, and his already tense nerves became even more tense.
His pupils contracted sharply and his whole body stood there like a sculpture.
After a long silence, Ye Fan finally spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse:
"He... is currently in the northern region of Daxia, engaged in a fierce battle with the Outer Gods."
"The northern part of Daxia? Fighting with foreign gods?" Lin Qiye was extremely shocked, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees. "Could it be that foreign gods have invaded Daxia?"
"That's right. The Nine Pillars of the Sun City, with the help of Loki, suddenly descended on the northern part of Daxia in an attempt to seize Fengdu. That's why I quickly arranged for Zhou Ping and others to go and provide support."
Ye Fan briefly explained the whole story on the phone.
"How long has it been since the Sword Master received the call?" Lin Qiye asked anxiously.
"An hour has passed. I guess he has already started fighting with the Nine Pillar Gods." Ye Fan replied, "I am also on the way to reinforce him. I will arrive in ten minutes."
After careful consideration, Lin Qiye said, "Commander Ye, can we postpone the last assessment?"
"Postponing the assessment?" Ye Fan frowned. "What about after that? Do you want to go to the northern part of Daxia to rescue the Sword Saint? With your strength, how can you help him? This time, Sun City has dispatched seven gods! Seven, let alone the Sword Saint, even the human ceiling like us may not be able to survive."
Lin Qiye was speechless for a moment.
"This matter is more complicated than you can imagine. It involves the life and death of the entire Daxia. The invasion of the foreign gods has already triggered a god-level war. Even if you are about to become a special team, it will be difficult for you to play a role in this matter." Ye Fan's voice was unusually cold.
"You are not the top fighting force of Daxia, but the seeds of the future top fighting force. And seeds represent the future. Your current task is to thrive under our protection until one day, you can replace us and become a solid shield to protect the entire Daxia, not now."
Ye Fan quickly hung up the phone, and then he sped up a bit. Although he didn't know where Lin Qiye got the information from, he also knew that Lin Qiye would not joke about this matter. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everything would not be too late.
.....
The carriage was in deathly silence. Lin Qiye and the others were silent.
"How is this possible..." Baili Pangpang frowned, his face full of disbelief, "He is the Sword Saint of Daxia, an existence that can rival gods. How could it be..."
"Being on par with gods doesn't mean you're invincible." An Qingyu at the side spoke slowly, his tone as steady as a mountain, "The battle between gods is beyond the capabilities of humans. Although Senior Sword Saint can fight a god alone, this time... the opponent has sent out seven gods! Even if the Sword Saint can fight two alone, it's hard to withstand the disadvantage of large numbers."
"What should we do?" Baili Pangpang was burning with anxiety. "Are we just going to do nothing?"
"There's nothing we can do... at least, with our current strength, it's impossible for us to help Senior Sword Saint." An Qingyu's voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
However, at this moment when all the horses were silent, Lin Qiye slowly spoke: "Maybe... we can."
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him like spotlights, as if they saw a ray of light in the darkness.
“Although our strength is like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the God War, we cannot provide any substantial help to Senior Sword Saint,” Lin Qiye raised his head, his eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about a way out, “however, perhaps our presence will be the key to changing Senior Sword Saint’s fate.”
Lin Qiye briefly described Merlin's prophecy, of course, he did not mention Merlin's existence.
"The next mission is extremely difficult and may even involve bloodshed and sacrifice. We will vote by raising our hands. Those who are willing to go... please raise your hands." Lin Qiye said solemnly.
After saying this, Lin Qiye raised his hand without hesitation, and that hand was like a firm flag. Although Shen Qingzhu looked solemn, he also raised his hand without hesitation. Fatty followed closely, followed by An Qingyu, Jia Lan, and Jiang Er.
All members unanimously approved...
Lin Qiye glanced at everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile.
"In that case, all members agree... the Fifth Reserve Team's spontaneous mission - the Sword Saint Rescue Plan, is officially launched."
