Chapter 217: Turning Disaster into Fortune
"Marquis Jiang, I have recovered. Do you want me to buff you?"
When the order for the entire army to move was issued, Jiang Hou received a call from Qin Siyu. The girl sounded a little excited at the thought of being able to take a tour of the front line.
"... Not this time." Jiang Hou pondered, "I'll hang up the phone first, let's switch to video. I have some guesses about your spiritual power. Let me try them out."
"Okay." The girl was stunned, then she hung up the phone obediently and switched to video chat.
In the video, the girl is lying on the sofa, her hair tied into a loose ponytail as usual, her cute and pretty face is full of smiles, full of youthfulness.
Suddenly, Jiang Hou felt that the "noise" in his ears seemed to have become weaker.
"Lord Jiang, how do we use it this time?" Qin Siyu asked.
Jiang Hou thought for a moment and said, "Siyu, use the power of the Word Spirit to make a wish, saying that from now on, you and your uncle and aunt will be able to turn danger into safety when they encounter danger."
As he stood higher and was exposed to more information, Jiang Hou felt more and more that the world was about to fall into chaos.
And it is impossible for him to become a babysitter and protect Qin Siyu and Qin Buyi at all times. The most he can do is to exchange some life-saving extraordinary equipment for them.
Therefore, it is necessary to take some necessary protective measures, such as Qin Siyu's power of law.
"Can it be used this way? Let me try it." Qin Siyu was stunned at first, then eager to try it.
Under the gaze of Jiang Hou, the girl in the camera closed her eyes and said devoutly: "From now on, I, Jiang Hou, my father and mother will be able to turn danger into safety when they encounter danger."
Buzz! With a sound that contained a strong intention, the mark between the girl's eyebrows emitted a golden glow.
But as soon as the light came on, it suddenly dimmed and there was no response.
Qin Siyu opened her eyes, feeling the energy in the mark between her eyebrows that had not disappeared, and stuck out her tongue: "... Lord Jiang, it seems that the wish is a bit too big, and it can't be used."
"Nonsense, of course I can't use it if you bring me with you." Jiang Hou was speechless.
His behemoth form is already invincible at level seven, and level eight is not invincible either. Opponents that can make him feel 'dangerous' are either legends or demigod-level beings.
One can imagine the magnitude of the 'cause and effect' involved in this situation.
"But besides me, time may also be a problem."
Jiang Hou thought for a moment and said, "Siyu, next time you make a wish, exclude me and change the validity period to half a year. Your ability will recover in two days anyway."
"good."
The girl nodded, closed her eyes and made a new wish: "From this moment on, within the next six months, any danger my parents and I encounter will be resolved."
Buzz! The mark between the girl's eyebrows shone brightly, the light was brighter than before, and it turned into circles of golden ripples that spread in all directions.
But just when the ripples were about to cover Qin Siyu, they suddenly stopped, as if they were running out of strength and disappeared again.
After two "tests", the light emitted by Qin Siyu's mark dimmed a little. Obviously, this behavior was not without consumption.
"The time is changed to half a month."
"good!"
Buzz! After Qin Siyu changed the time for turning danger into fortune to half a month, the light between his eyebrows shone, and a circle of golden light spread and disappeared between heaven and earth.
Qin Siyu inexplicably felt as if there was something extra on her body, but also nothing.
Qin Siyu blinked her eyes, reached out her hand and touched the air, and said in surprise: "Jiang Hou, this is amazing, I have a feeling that I will have good luck recently."
"Not bad." Marquis Jiang showed a faint smile on his face.
However, today's test also illustrates a problem. The stronger the "individual" Qin Siyu's ability involves, the clearer the requirements, and the greater the restrictions.
Therefore, the power of words is more suitable for guided use.
Later, you can try to improve Qin Siyu's 'strength', such as the evolution of his physical body and his research on 'martial arts', or you can make a wish for a short-term improvement in your comprehension.

Beep, beep, beep!!
"Report, satellites have detected a large-scale mobilization of the East Qin coalition forces, which are encircling and compressing the mutation area to advance rapidly."
"The coalition's Third Corps bombers have already arrived at the 074th garrison area."
"The 114th garrison called for support. They were attacked by the East Qin Transcendents. Their defense line was breached immediately, resulting in heavy casualties..."
At the rear command post of the Western Front garrison of the Western Continental Alliance, urgent alarms continued to sound, and legions on several fronts on both sides were calling for help.
The deputy commander in charge of the garrison said with an unpleasant expression: "What did the main combat department say? Haven't they sent a Saint-level expert over yet?"
The adjutant below said respectfully: "We have called the main battle corps, but Deputy Commander Bai said that their mission is to destroy the main force of the enemy and they are not responsible for garrison affairs."
"Damn it, these people from the Black Dragon Palace only care about grabbing military merits and completely ignore the rear."
"Doesn't she know that once the rear is lost and the supply is cut off, it will be useless even if she defeats the last main army of Abdan?"
The adjutant smiled bitterly and shook his head: "She won't care about these, Commander. Her biggest goal now is to complete the ceremony and enter the legend."
"Once successful, her status and strength will reach another level, so she will not hesitate to sacrifice everyone on the Western Front."
Bang!
The desk under the deputy commander's hand exploded, and he stood up angrily: "Damn it, I can't understand why the higher-ups would hand over the command of the legion to such a guy who doesn't care about the overall situation."
"Because the first goal of this expedition to Abudan has been accomplished, if we can get an extra legend, it would be a free profit."
"As for the hundreds of thousands of Alliance soldiers who died on the Western Front, the Purple Dragon Palace Master won't care at all, so Commander, we have to make plans early."
"If it doesn't work, we can give those controlled areas to the East Qin coalition forces to preserve our strength."
"Or we can seek support from those people in the Purple Dragon Palace. Otherwise, without an equal number of Saint-level experts, we will not be able to stop those Heavenly Punishment experts at all."
The adjutant's words made the deputy commander silent for a moment, and then he sighed.
"I have already contacted Ke Min, but he said he is not interested in intervening on the battlefield and will not dispatch Saint-level warriors from the team to provide support."
"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 three major transcendent forces, Tianfa and Demon Dragon Temple have similar overall strength. Therefore, when Tianfa got serious and the Demon Dragon Temple split into two groups, the number of strong men was dwarfed by that.
For example, among the more than 100,000 troops stationed in the garrison at this time, there was only one saint-level strongman, Li Minkang, who served as the deputy commander.
In addition to the nine saints stationed at the Abudan remnant army base, there are seven powerful saints of heavenly punishment who have gone deep into the polluted area to suppress the mutations.
This kind of single-unit explosion is comparable to a small-yield nuclear bomb, and its mobility is even more terrifying. If a strong person is not restrained by an equal strong person, it is almost impossible to deal with it.
"Retreat, everyone retreat, retreat back to Huaishan and station there."
"They want it, so I'll give it all to them." Li Min gave a direct order, asking the army garrisoning more than a dozen cities to form a defense line to retreat more than one thousand to two thousand kilometers.
They gave up most of the occupied Abudan territory and retreated to the other side of the border.
As for the problem of pollution spreading, mutant monsters proliferating, and logistics being disrupted, and the main combat corps fighting alone, who the hell cares?
