Chapter 217 Turning danger into good fortune
"Lord Jiang, I've recovered. Shall I give you a buff?"

When the order for the entire army to move was issued, Jiang Hou received a call from Qin Siyu. The girl sounded excited at the thought of being able to visit the front lines.

“…No need this time.” Jiang Hou pondered. “Hang up the phone first, let’s switch to video. I have some guesses about your power of words, let’s try it out.”

"Okay." The girl paused for a moment, then obediently hung up the phone and switched to video chat.

In the video, the girl is lying on the sofa, her hair is styled in a loose ponytail as always, and her cute and pretty face is beaming with a smile, full of youthful energy.

Jiang Hou immediately felt that the 'noise' around him seemed to have weakened.

"Lord Jiang, how should we use it this time?" Qin Siyu asked.

Jiang Hou thought for a moment and said, "Siyu, use the power of words to make a wish, saying that from now on, you and your uncle and aunt will be able to turn bad luck into good when you encounter danger."

The higher Jiang Hou stood and the more information he came into contact with, the more he felt that the world was about to descend into chaos.

However, he couldn't possibly become a nanny to protect Qin Siyu and Qin Buyi at all times. At most, he could exchange some extraordinary equipment for them to save their lives.

Therefore, it is necessary to take some necessary protective measures, such as Qin Siyu's power of words.

"It can be used like this? Let me try." Qin Siyu was taken aback at first, then eager to try it out.

Under Jiang Hou's gaze, the girl in the video closed her eyes and said in a devout tone, "From now on, I, Jiang Hou, and my parents will all be safe from danger."

With a powerful, resonant sound, the mark between the girl's eyebrows emitted a golden glow.

But the light suddenly dimmed and then went out without any response.

Qin Siyu opened her eyes, feeling the energy that hadn't disappeared from the mark between her brows, and stuck out her tongue: "...Lord Jiang, it seems like your wish is a bit too big, I can't use it."

"Nonsense, of course you can't use it if you bring me along." Jiang Hou was speechless.

His behemoth form is already invincible at the seventh rank, and even at the eighth rank, it's not untouchable. The opponents who can make him feel 'danger' are either legendary or demigod-level beings.

The magnitude of the 'cause and effect' involved in this situation is unimaginable.

"However, besides me, time is also a problem."

Jiang Hou thought for a moment and said, "Siyu, next time you 'make a wish,' remove me from your wish list and change the validity period to six months. Anyway, your ability can be restored in two days."

"it is good."

The girl nodded, closed her eyes, and made a wish again: "From this moment on, my parents and I will be able to escape danger within the next six months."

Buzz! The mark between the girl's eyebrows shone brightly, its light even brighter than before, transforming into golden ripples that spread in all directions.

But just as those ripples were about to cover Qin Siyu, they suddenly stopped, seemingly losing momentum and disappearing again.

After two 'tests', the light emanating from Qin Siyu's mark dimmed somewhat, clearly indicating that this action was not without its costs.

"The timeframe has been changed to half a month."

"it is good!"

Buzz! After Qin Siyu changed the time of turning misfortune into good fortune to half a month, a light shone between her brows, and a circle of golden radiance spread and disappeared into the world.

For some inexplicable reason, Qin Siyu felt as if something had appeared on her body, yet there was nothing there.

Qin Siyu blinked, reached out and touched the air in surprise, and said, "Lord Jiang, this is amazing. I have a feeling that my luck will be good soon."

"Not bad." Jiang Hou smiled faintly.

However, today's test also revealed a problem: the stronger the 'individual' involved in Qin Siyu's ability, the more specific the requirements, and the greater the limitations. Therefore, the power of words is more suitable for guided use.

Later, we can try to improve Qin Siyu's 'strength', such as physical evolution, and his research on 'martial arts'. We can also wish for a short-term improvement in his comprehension.

Beep, beep, beep!!
"Report: Satellites have detected a large-scale mobilization of the Eastern Qin Allied Forces, which are rapidly advancing and encircling the mutated area."

"The Allied Third Corps bombers have already reached the area of ​​the 074 garrison."

"The 114th Garrison Legion is calling for backup. They were attacked by superhumans from the Eastern Qin, and their defensive line was breached immediately, resulting in heavy casualties..."

At the rear command post of the Western Alliance's western garrison, urgent alarms blared continuously as legions on several fronts on both sides requested reinforcements.

The deputy commander in charge of the garrison asked with a grim expression, "What did the main combat command say? Haven't they sent a Saint-level expert yet?"

The adjutant below respectfully replied, "We have already called the main combat corps, but Deputy Commander Bai said their mission is to annihilate the enemy's main force, not to handle garrison duties."

"Damn it, these Black Dragon Palace people only know how to seize battle merits and completely disregard the rear."

"Doesn't she know that once the rear is lost and supplies are cut off, even if she defeats Abudan's last main force, it will be useless?"

The adjutant shook his head with a wry smile: "She won't care about any of that, Commander. Her biggest goal right now is to complete the ceremony and enter the legendary realm."

"If she succeeds, her status, position, and power will reach another level, so she is willing to sacrifice everyone on the western front."

Bang!
The deputy commander slammed his hand on the desk, then stood up angrily: "Damn it! I can't understand why the higher-ups would entrust the command of the legion to such a guy who doesn't care about the big picture!"

"Since the first objective of this campaign against Abudan has been achieved, obtaining an additional legendary figure would be a bonus."

"As for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Alliance soldiers on the Western Front, the Palace Master of the Purple Dragon Palace will not care at all, so Commander, we should make plans as soon as possible."

"If all else fails, we'll cede those controlled areas to the Eastern Qin Allied Forces and preserve our strength."

"Or we could seek support from the people in the Purple Dragon Palace. Otherwise, without an equal number of Saint-level experts, we simply cannot stop those Heavenly Punishment experts."

The adjutant's words made the deputy commander fall silent for a moment, then he sighed.

“I’ve already contacted Ke Min, but he said he’s not interested in anything on the battlefield and won’t be sending a squad of Saint-level experts to support us.”

"As for Marshal Alvis, who is in charge of the western front, he should have already gone deep into the ancient god realm and cannot be contacted."

As two of the three transcendent forces, Heavenly Punishment and the Demon Dragon Temple are roughly equal in overall strength. Therefore, when Heavenly Punishment went serious, the number of Demon Dragon Temple experts who split into two groups paled in comparison.

For example, among the more than 100,000 troops stationed at this time, there was only one Saint-level expert, Li Minkang, who served as the deputy commander.

Apart from the nine Saint-level beings stationed at the Abudan remnant army base, there are seven Heavenly Punishment Saint-level powerhouses who have gone deep into the contaminated area to suppress the mutations.

This kind of single-target burst is comparable to a low-yield nuclear bomb, and its mobility is terrifying. Without an equally powerful opponent to restrain it, it is almost impossible to solve.

"Withdraw, withdraw completely, retreat back to the Huai Mountain line and set up camp."

"They want it, right? Then I'll give it all to them." Li Min directly ordered the legions stationed in more than a dozen cities to retreat more than a thousand to two thousand kilometers.

They relinquished most of the territory they occupied in Abu Dan and retreated to the other side of the border.

As for the pollution spreading, the mutated monsters proliferating, the logistics disruptions, and the main combat legions fighting alone, who cares?
