After close to three hours of naval battle, it finally ended in the full scale collapse of the Hybrid Demon Army. We had an advantage that they didn't have. The cannons of Tian Ling City could be adjusted and it was also really easy to move. The firepower of the Dragon Crystal Cannons weren't things that were on the same level as that of the Hybrid Demon Cannons.
……
Standing on a Vanguard Army ship, there were Demon Hall Crossbowmen corpses strewn all over the place. I picked up a bunch of equipment and silver artifacts while Fang Ge Que held her fan and picked up a few before the two of us sat on the ship and headed back.
I sat on the helm and took them out one by one to split into God's Army Card. Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, and Ling Luo, the three majors, brought a bunch of Royal Army troops and guarded beside me.
Fang Ge Que sat not far away and he suddenly looked at me. He said, "Xiao Yao, do you have any news about Xue Rou?"
I shook my head, "No, actually, I would like to ask this: when you sent Xue Rou out to be an undercover at [Zhan Long], what was your purpose?"
Fang Ge Que laughed bitterly. His eyes turned red and he said, "Xue Rou, the legendary Female War Goddess Xiao Yao. In Conquest, even I had lower than a 50% chance of beating her. Rather than say that she was my subject, she was more like a friend. I didn't have the power to order her. In the later stages of Conquest, she started to hate the killing in game and stopped leveling. She went around to travel and had always been alone. She said that I couldn't give her what she wanted."
I was shocked and asked, “What did Xiao Yao want?"
Fang Ge Que licked his lips and looked toward the flame light on the ocean, "Love?"
I smiled, "Speaking of which, Xue Rou actually loves you right?"
Fang Ge Que kept silent for a few seconds, his eyes filled with loss before he then turned and looked at me. He said, "I am only a liar. If she really loves me, then that’d be great."
Speaking of which, Fang Ge Que punched the ship and said while gritting his teeth, "During these few years, I was busy with in-game matters in the game and the game was pretty much everything I had. I never thought about love between males and females. If I knew, maybe I should have told her long ago that I loved her."
I smiled, "Hah, it isn't too late now."
The ocean wind blew onto his handsome face. At this moment, Fang Ge Que seemed melancholic and said expressionlessly, "Actually, the truth proves that she doesn't love me but you instead."
I was stunned, "Why?"
Fang Ge Que looked at me with his eyes filled with a complicated expression, "You should be clear about it, right? If she didn't love you, why would she delete her account? Actually, I really am envious and jealous of you. Xue Rou was by my side for four years, but she didn't love me. However, she was only by your side for half a year and is willing to cry so much. She’d never cried during those four years and that was the first time."
"..."
Fang Ge Que gave out a self-deprecating laugh, "Eh? Why are you asking me this anyway?"
I also smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't record anything and I won’t speak on it either. You are still the China Region commander, God Fang Ge Que."
Fang Ge Que's eyes were filled with sadness, "I have dominated China for four years. Many people who wanted to exceed me see me as nails in their skin, and they think that I am someone who won't just die. However, I won't give up. As long as I am still alive I won't let others look down on me and on [Legend]. I will let the people who follow me live with dignity. Even if it is someone like you, I won’t yield and won't lose. I will go all out and let [Legend] reach the top of the entire server!"
I rested on the statue on the ship. I placed my heads lazily behind my head and smiled, "Who cares? Anyway, my future father-in-law gave me a goal which is to unify the seven main cities. I don't care who is number one on Chinese Server Guild Rankings, and I don't care who is top on CBN. However, my goal is to step on the entire world."
"You..."
Fang Ge Que looked deeply at me but he didn't say anything. After a moment he smiled, "Then work hard. I hope that you aren't my stepping stone."
I smiled, "Actually we aren’t against each other. You fight for your first and I will fight for my seven main cities."
"Alright, get Xue Rou back soon. At least let me know that she is safe, otherwise I’ll still be uneasy."
"Don't, she will come back naturally when she wants to return."
"Sure..."
……
Not long later, many warships stopped at Deer Lake. Han Yuan and Xiao Lie plucked out the Dragon Crystal Cannons from the ships and shifted them away, returning an empty shell to the Dragonling Army. During this battle, t
