Chapter 1388: Chapter 760: No Intelligence? Then Create Intelligence_3
March frowned: "Recently, there has been a discussion within the Contraindicated courts about a question. We saw the giant Gudong within a certain Taboo Land. He can speak human language and remains rational, though heâs impulsive and bloodthirsty, like a tyrant. However, throughout human history, there have been many such figures. If we consider giants as humans, the spread of Taboo Land may not lead to the total extinction of humanity but result in the birth of a batch of new humans, continuing the propagation of the human spark."
Li Dongze looked at March in surprise.
He knew that the reason the Contraindicated courts housed Taboo and Transcendents was out of concern that human civilization might be completely swallowed by the Taboo Land, leading to extinction.
But it seemed March had new ideas after meeting Gudong.
New humans are words in which the Contraindicated courts have shown great interest.
If the spread of Taboo Land is irreversible, then might actively coexisting with Taboo Land be a better choice?
Li Dongze asked, "What do you want to do?"
March thought for a moment and said, "How about building an Artificial Womb Base within a Taboo Land?"
Li Dongze sighed: "You always pursue extreme paths for the continuation of humanity."

In the Qing Clan Air Force Base, Qing Yu was standing before the holographic sand table, frowning at the troop deployment: "Now the Li Familyâs Qing Shan Air Fortress will take another three months to repair. Just one Scepter No. cannot block the southern advance of overseas forces, not to mention Jindai and Deer Islandâs northern air forces... By the way, has the Spy Bureau sent back any intelligence? Has there been any unusual movement from the Chen Clan? After Shadow left, insisting on handing the Spy Bureau over to a child has caused delays in their work and intelligence... Itâs too reckless. The Family Head should teach him more!"
In Shadowâs last battle, Qing Ji, Qing Yu, and Qing Kun were influential figures who either controlled the military, held economic power, or wielded high combat power as the Family Headâs personal guard.
Though these prominent elders of the Qingâs Family have knelt in allegiance, they were somewhat discontent. Thatâs why Qing Yu hesitated upon receiving Qing Chenâs order to retreat earlier.
Power has always been like this; sitting on the dragon throne doesnât allow you to act willfully. An emperor needs to balance various forces to achieve his goals, highlighting the importance of imperial strategies.
For instance, in the ancient Outer World, some emperors wanted to inspect Jiangnan; whether they could go depended on the decision of the civil service group.
Now, Qing Yu and the others have recognized Qing Chenâs legitimate Crown Prince status, but it doesnât mean everyone has to kowtow to the Crown Prince. Qing Yu, as a mainstay of the Qing Family, naturally has his pride.
He gave his pledge to Shadow and would certainly not obstruct when Qing Chen ascends to power, but to win his wholehearted approval, Qing Chen must prove his true capability.
Currently, with the front lines engaged in warfare and intelligence from the Spy Bureau delayed at the rear, how could this not anger him? So, venting a little at Qing Chen, who oversees the Spy Bureau, is understandable.
The most critical issue is that thereâs a possibility that the Qing clan could be defeated, and all pressure has now fallen upon Qing Yu.
Beside him, a combat staff officer said, "Sir, Qing Yeâs side mentioned that theyâll provide some crucial information by today noon, but they didnât specify what it is."
Qing Yu was taken aback and suddenly furious: "This is nonsense; intelligence demands timeliness. All news should be conveyed promptly. What is he waiting for, preparing a surprise for me?!"
"I donât know either; they refuse to say," the combat staff officer said in a low voice.
However, at that moment, the chief of staff suddenly walked into the command tent holding an LCD panel. He glanced around: "All ranks below colonel, leave immediately!"
Qing Yu became solemn, understanding that there must be extremely significant news.
After scattering everyone, the command tentâs vicinity activated soundproofing and signal shielding systems.
The chief of staff urgently said: "The Spy Bureau has transmitted several critical pieces of information!"
"The Spy Bureau?" Qing Yu was surprised. He had just been complaining about the Spy Bureau, yet it seems heâs contradicted himself already.
The chief of staff said: "First, the Spy Bureauâs new boss discovered that the Chen Clan dispatched troops intending to level Fire Pit via 008 Taboo Land."
"What?" Qing Yu raised his voice: "Are they planning to drive a big wedge into our rear while weâre understaffed? When did this happen, has the Spy Bureau gone mad for not mentioning such a thing sooner!"
The chief of staff hastily explained: "Calm down. Hereâs the situation: Qing Chen, along with several experts, ambushed a Chen Clan field brigade, a field regiment, and an A-Class floating ship in the 008 Taboo Land, causing Chen Yu to waste two paintings. Now that the Fire Pit has been relocated, even if Chen Yu continues there, he wonât kill anyone."
"Hiss," Qing Yu felt a tingling scalp: "When did this happen?"
"Just the day before yesterday," the chief of staff said, "Qing Chen has already withdrawn safely and instructed the Spy Bureau to inform us of the Chen Clanâs two Aerial Fortresses presumably near the 008 Taboo Land."
Qing Yu raised his eyebrows: "Two? If they turn their guns on us and combine with the Kingdom, the Future, Jindai, and Deer Island for a joint attack, weâre finished."
The chief of staff continued: "Moving on to the second piece of news: just last night, the Shadow Troop attacked the Mental Dojo and the Jindai Family Master residence in City 20, abducting two A-Class experts, causing chaos there."
"Moreover, reliable northern network confirmations indicate that Qing Chen, the Shadow Troop, and the Parentsâ Meeting have successfully severely damaged the Kingdom Air Fortress. They are now ascending and withdrawing northward at maximum speed. If nothing unexpected occurs, the Jindai Family Master probably encountered an unexpected event... Our reconnaissance aircraft also returned, confirming that the Kingdom Air Fortress has indeed departed, still emitting black smoke..."
Qing Yu stood in place, stunned. He was an outstanding military commander and was the most troublesome âIron Wallâ for Jindai and Deer Island when commanding on the front lines, directing the troops flawlessly.
But he couldnât comprehend how Qing Chen accomplished all of this.
It was too bizarre!
From the Chen Clan in the 008 Taboo Land, the Jindai in City 20 up north, to the Kingdom in the front line air fortress, each point was thousands, even tens of thousands of kilometers apart.
And yet, Qing Chen managed to heavily damage all three fronts within two days?! Even the Shadow of old was never this fierce!
Qing Yu mumbled: "Anything else?"
The chief of staff said: "The last piece of news doesnât seem very important: the legal heir of Deer Island, Li Yunze, was killed by Qing Chen..."
Qing Yu stood in the command tent for a long time: "...Impressive!"
He had previously complained that the Spy Bureau was not doing its job, but now he realized that the current Spy Bureau was no longer just an intelligence agency; itâs a complete war machine!
With such a fierce organization, a little delay in intelligence is tolerable.
After all, the previous Spy Bureau âacquiredâ intelligence, but the current Spy Bureau is âproducingâ intelligence...
Qing Yu asked: "Did the Spy Bureau mention where Qing Chen is?"
The chief of staff shook his head: "They donât know either and have classified this intelligence as the highest confidentiality level."
