Chapter 217: Chapter 144: Princess Betty’s Eagerness, Dinosaur Civilization (2)
"No problem. We’ve been busy dealing with other matters to smoothly absorb the remnants of the Thirteenth Division, but fortunately, things have finally started to stabilize."
"The Black Spine Living Zergs shipment will arrive this afternoon with the first batch of Warriors."
"One more thing. Once we’ve integrated the scattered forces in Jin City and gathered all the survivors, if Betty has time, you can invite her for a visit."
"Managing over a hundred thousand people is too much for you alone, especially when it comes to organizing them to build camp fortifications and handling food distribution."
Han Yuxin nodded. Betty was far more eager about this than Lin Feng was. Without absolute power, it would be difficult for exiled organizations like hers to restore their former glory.
With the Federation abandoning the Southern Region, local resistance forces, like the Thirteenth Division, had been recalled to the rear to maintain stability in the safe zones.
That made Lin Feng the strongest power she could rely on.
When Han Yuxin "accidentally" let it slip that Lin Feng had taken control of the Thirteenth Division’s remnants and now commanded an army of ten thousand, Betty grew even more anxious.
She had been wanting to come back and discuss things in detail with Lin Feng for a long time.
However, Han Yuxin had shrewdly held something back, not giving Betty Lin Feng’s personal contact information.
She had also specifically reminded Betty that with the tense situation on the front lines, Lin Feng didn’t want to be disturbed.
Otherwise, the impatient young princess would have been blowing up Lin Feng’s phone every day.
In Han Yuxin’s eyes, however, there was a certain pecking order to things. She felt she should at least wait until she had control over the situation in Jin City and had secured a high enough position for herself...
...before letting Betty join in and take a piece of the pie.
So, seeing that the time was now right, Han Yuxin finally brought it up.
After receiving her instructions from Lin Feng, Han Yuxin quietly acknowledged them and made a note. She then arranged for her people to head to the Wu City defense line to rendezvous with the soldiers Lin Feng was sending.
......
Inside the Land Patrol Battleship, Lin Feng hung up the phone and considered where he could hunt large numbers of Black Spine Zergs.
He had a deal with Mother Empress Ling Yi in the Southern Jia City region, so they were currently cooperating. He could head there tomorrow to pick up the second promised batch of Tier Two Zerg Eggs, which would help Upgrade the Land Patrol Battleship.
Launching a sneak attack now would only arouse her suspicion and anger, and could even jeopardize the future Genetic Radiation plan.
Meanwhile, the Hai City Mother Empress outside the defense line had adopted a defensive strategy after the fleet’s intense bombardment, holing up just as she had during her last advancement.
After all, the Hai City Suburban Area and the entire Hai City District behind her were her territory.
With a territory over a hundred kilometers deep, retreating a dozen or so kilometers was of no consequence.
But Lin Feng knew her retreat wasn’t a surrender. She was looking for a counter-strategy, secretly building up her Power.
For instance, by spawning a large number of new Tier Two Zerg Race, especially the most dangerous kind: Samurai Hunter Zergs.
Once the Hai City Mother Empress managed to develop and spawn Samurai Hunter Zergs to Level 23 or higher—the Tier Two Middle Stage—they would pose a massive threat to Lin Feng’s fledgling Tier Two Corps.
In a one-on-one, close-quarters fight, a Tier Two Middle Stage Samurai Hunter Zerg, with its flexible body and agile reflexes, was far stronger than a Tier Two Awakener of the same Level.
Only a fully armed Genetically Modified Warrior, who was similar in nature, could reliably suppress one.
Just as Lin Feng was racking his brain for a way to quickly strengthen his subordinates before the final showdown, something Han Yuxin had once said...
...flashed through his mind.
’That’s right!’
’Since I can go reap the benefits in Southern Jia City, why not check out the North? Aren’t there several more cities on the other side of the Great River?!’
’Han Yuxin mentioned that many of the leaders of the factions in Jin City had fled from the northern cities. They were also attacked by the Zerg Race, but because they hadn’t built a strong defense line like Wu City’s, they were ultimately defeated and their forces were scattered...’
’Going North now would not only help those low-Level Warriors Upgrade quickly, but it would also provide low-intensity combat training for the members of the corps who just reached Tier Two!’
"What combat training? What are you muttering about so early in the morning?" Chen Yanyan said with a yawn as she walked over from the Battleship’s rest area. She saw Lin Feng sitting alone in the bridge’s cockpit, muttering to himself.
Hearing her voice, Lin Feng turned his head from his chair and smiled.
"It’s nothing. Just thinking about how to handle the current situation and planning for the future."
"Why are you up so early, though? Your Superpower requires a lot of rest. Don’t you have a patrol mission at nine this morning? It’s just past seven."
Chen Yanyan walked up behind Lin Feng and wrapped her arms around his neck. Leaning down close to his ear, she said softly:
"I recover quickly when you’re around~"
"Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. As long as the fleet is here, the defense line will be fine. You can leave the other things to your subordinates."
"Just take it slow. A lot of things need time to settle. You have to take it one step at a time; you can’t rush it..."
Lin Feng hummed in agreement, holding her slender arms. He gave her smooth, soft cheek a kiss and said reassuringly:
"Don’t worry. It’s fine."
"Since you’re up early, how about you take us somewhere."
Chen Yanyan looked confused.
"Take you where? Back to Jin City?"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"To the north of the city, on the other side of the Great River. We can’t just focus on defending against the Hai City Mother Empress to our front. The Mother Empress to the north might take the waterway and reach Taihu Lake ahead of schedule."
