Chapter 2175: That Wastrel

Vicki was indeed an outstanding captain. She was the record holder of the youngest captain ever.

This title wasn’t given to her because her family wanted to give her credit. She loved the battleships since she was young and had displayed an astonishing talent at piloting them.

Hence, she could already handle a battleship deftly at the age of eight and complete a set of maneuvers on her own to pass the captain’s test.

Of course, this unbelievable result belongs to that gentle Vicki.

If it had been her who was driving the battleship at the start of the fight, she could definitely make the most accurate reaction to get the battleship out of danger the moment the frost dragon appeared.

She felt a little guilty as soon as she thought of that.

The “Black Cat” was the Elder Things’ best battleship. Its building cost was exorbitant and it had half of the fleet’s ammunition.

It wasn’t fireworks that exploded on the ice sheets earlier. That was all money.

Vicki diverted the conversation topic and asked Xi, “Who’s that man?”

That man had saved her earlier. As a grateful person, she had to know his name first.

“Alex,” Xi replied. New chapters are publɪshed on novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

“Alex?” Vicki pondered with a frown as his name suddenly rang a bell. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Is he that dragon slayer, Alex?”

For the one year that Vicki had wandered around the Norland Continent, the protagonist of the stories that she heard the most about was a man called Alex.

She had even wanted to write the love story between him and the elven princess into an opera once. She even had a part of the script written.

She didn’t expect to be saved by Alex eventually.

However, this wasn’t the run-of-the-mill, damsel-in-distress kind of rescuing.

Otherwise, the title of ‘Miss Black Cat Causes the Breakup of Alex and Irina’ sounded like one popular opera title.

“It’s him.” Xi nodded.

Vicki retracted her wandering thoughts and bowed deeply at Xi before saying, “Thank you for saving me. I will repay you after I return to the Underground City.”

“This is the power of attorney that Mr. Ferdinand has given to me. He wants me to bring you back to the Underground City if I bump into you.” Xi showed her the power of attorney document with a signature at the bottom: Ferdinand Roosevelt.

“How could Grandpa do this?!” Vicki glared. She didn’t expect her grandfather to issue the power of attorney.

“Hence, that’s why you could locate me accurately.” Vicki looked at Xi. “Did Grandpa tamper with the ‘Black Cat’?”

Xi calmly replied, “Every Elder Things’ battleship will be installed with a locating system before they leave the factory. This is to locate the battleship after an incident. You should know very well about that.”

Vicki was a little deflated.

She knew about that indeed. That was why she didn’t activate the ‘Black Cat’ for the past two years.

“But I can’t go back now. I still have very important things to do,” Vicki said to Xi with a serious expression, “There are people who need me to accomplish their dreams for them.”

Xi looked at Vicki silently befor saying, “You have to go back to the Underground City with me after I complete my observation mission.”

“How long will you take?”

“I’m not sure at the moment.”

Vicki lowered her head to stare at her toes in silence.

She knew Xi wasn’t having a discussion with her. She was simply informing her of her decision.

That power of attorney with her grandfather’s signature was equivalent to a military order.

“Actually, although the Norland Continent looks rather primitive, it’s a very extraordinary existence. The premise is you have to get off from the spaceship and get to know this world in depth.

“I have been here for over a year and I still dare not say I know this world very well. I still feel surprised every single day.” Vicki looked up at Xi and said seriously.

On this spaceship, she was just a cold Observer.

However, as long as she got off this spaceship and got involved with the people, Vicki believed Xi would at least stay for three to five years.

Xi wanted to refute Vicki, but she thought of that delicious red braised pork which was indeed beyond her imagination and understanding. It had even appeared in her dreams in the past two days.

Perhaps, there were many other foods that were as scrumptious as that… Xi thought, but she still coldly said, “The lounge is open. You may use it.”

“Thank you,” Vicki said before walking to the lounge. She indeed needed to recollect her emotions right now.

It didn’t feel good to be that close to death. Perhaps, she should say that it felt horrible.

“Alex… I will remember you.”

Vicki removed her battlegear and slid into the bathtub.

Mag returned to the interim command center and located Jonas to change their plan.

Looking at poor old Jonas’ miserable look, Mag patted his shoulder with an old capitalist’s smile.

The Elder Things’ cannon was a super lethal weapon to the Army of the Dead.

Mag wondered who was piloting that crashed battleship earlier. He wanted to scold her. “How wasteful.”

That explosion earlier could have taken out half of the Army of the Dead, okay?!

She could have found the Army of the Dead’s gathering place quietly, tossed a few bombs and escaped before Cthulhu appeared, and reappeared at the other converging location.

But this wastrel simply went straight to Cthulhu and got nothing in the end except for a loud bang.

Judging from the voice in the communication channel earlier, it should be a female captain.

And, judging from Xi’s risky rescue, she was either someone Xi knew, or someone with a noble identity.

Xi was a cold-blooded animal. Mag was very sure of that.

“What happened on the ice sheets earlier?” Irina’s voice appeared from behind.

“An explosion. A huge explosion.”

Mag turned around to look at her and told her what happened earlier.

“Didn’t she say she is the only Elder Thing on the Norland Continent?” Irina furrowed her beautiful eyebrows.

“Perhaps, she had no idea of that situation as well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed that battleship to commit that meaningless suicide attack and get herself stuck in that dangerous situation.” Mag deduced.

This was also what he was thinking about on the way back.

That scarily calm woman wouldn’t have let herself get into a dangerous situation easily.

Irina nodded before saying, “Louis was looking for you earlier. The dragons intend to go into the ice sheets in teams to clear the skeleton legions in advance to reduce the pressure at the front during the battle.”

Mag shook his head. “They don’t have to go now. Cthulhu has transferred all the Army of the Dead under the ice. They won’t be able to find their target. Instead, they will become Cthulhu’s prey easily.”

“The dragons are our core air combat force. If we lose them before the war, this war will be over for us. Oh yes. The Lantisdeans have arrived. Dexter wants to meet you.” Irina continued on.
