Chapter 839, "Treasures"
Wang Kerong fled from the Steel Flame Furnace in panic.
It's true that he is the Forging General of the Steel Flame Furnace. That is his base camp. If the situation is not really unavoidable, he will not leave his nest.
But now it has come to the point where there is nothing that can be done.
The orc army that conquered Mingmu Star was so powerful.
At the beginning of the battle, no one realized that the invading enemy was so powerful. When the war quickly collapsed, it was too late.
In Wang Kerong's opinion, the war criminal who caused the rapid collapse of the Mingmu Star War was Ricardo Lazio.
Wangyue Star Region provided so many resources to Mingmu Star, but that guy only defended it for less than half a month before losing Mingmu Star. It's really a pity that he died!
He had no idea that he had done anything wrong.
It was just like he didn't think that as the Forging General of the Forging World, there was anything wrong with him evacuating with the most elite guards, a large number of combat ships, and even mechanical arks when the enemy army was approaching.
The entire Steel Flame Furnace was his property, his most precious treasure. He was already heartbroken to lose his treasure, so who was qualified to blame him at this time?
That orc army even took down Mingmu Star in such a short time. Can the Steel Flame Furnace hold on?
It’s hard to say.
Even if he could hold on at the cost of turning it into a scorched earth, he would still be in great danger in the Steel Flame Furnace. It was said that the orc commander was extremely powerful. If he led an elite force to raid his palace, he would not be sure that he could resist and would most likely die.
They left with their best troops and their most precious ships to preserve their vitality. As long as the people and the mechanical arks were still there, they might be able to create another forge world somewhere else if the forge world was lost, even if it would be much smaller and would take many, many years to develop to the scale of the Steel Flame Furnace again, but there was nothing they could do about it.
It's better than having people, ships and the world destroyed together, right?
As for the many people left behind on the Steel Flame Furnace... there was no way around it. Time was running out, and there were limited ships. It was impossible for Wang Kerong to take everyone away from the planet.
What's more, they can just stay on the planet and use the Steel Flame Furnace as a forging world with a fairly complete defense system to deal with the orc army and resist it layer by layer.
I hope they can hold out until the arrival of the allied forces led by Tai Shichen, and I also hope that the Steel Flame Furnace will still be relatively intact by then.
At that time, he will go back and take his treasure back.
Isn't it only natural that the Forging General wants to return to his Forging World?
At the moment, the most important thing is to find a suitable place to stay. This place must be convenient for them to wait for an opportunity to act.
Once the orcs broke through all the remaining defenses in the Moon Watching Star Region, and even the alliance forces led by Tai Shichen failed to stop them, then this place would be suitable for an immediate escape.
If the Furnace of Steel Flame could be recaptured, this place would be suitable for him to rush back with his fleet and retrieve his treasure.
The site selection requires great care!
He had already held two meetings with his staff and other wise men of the main profession to discuss the issue, but the addresses that were proposed did not satisfy him.
After all, this matter is not just about site selection, but also includes a series of plans for subsequent actions, which must be feasible and imaginative.
Wang Kerong was in a bad mood and was angry for several days.
Today is the third meeting.
He still felt that the plan was not particularly good, and he scolded everyone in the meeting.
But he didn't have any good ideas himself.
In the end, it seems that we can only choose one from the existing options.
Just as he was hesitating between several plans, the door of the conference hall was suddenly pushed open.
Wang Kerong suddenly raised his head.
All the people he had appointed to attend the meeting had already arrived. Apart from the attendees, he did not remember allowing anyone else to enter the council hall during this time.
He saw that the person who broke into the room was Liu Se, the current acting commander of the Moon-Watching Knights, one of the few survivors of the Battle of Mingmu Star, a loser and a deserter.
There were a dozen Space Marines following him.
There are members from their Moon-Watching Knights Regiment, and there are also members from the Black Fox Blade Regiment - the latter is also one of the two native regiments in the Moon-Watching Star Region, and its fate is similar to that of the Moon-Watching Knights.
There were only a dozen Space Marines who withdrew from Mingmu Star, all from these two chapters. All the members of the Spear of the Dragon King were killed in the battle.
When they retreated to the Furnace of Steel Flame, Wang Kerong gave shelter to these losers. When evacuating, he also took the combat effectiveness of the Space Marines into consideration. Although there were only a dozen of them, he brought them all with him and gave them more or less respect.
but……
"Captain Liu Se, the respect I give you is not a reason for you to disrespect me." Wang Kerong said angrily, "You are not invited to this meeting. Please leave."
Liu Se said nothing, but just moved aside.
Two groups of people came out from behind him.
One of the teams was composed of several ruling bishops of the Steel Flame Furnace, led by the sage Pilias.
It was true that Pilias was the sage of the Steel Flame Furnace, but Wang Kerong did not like this man. Especially after the Alliance arrived, this guy got quite close to the Alliance, which made him even more displeased.
While in the car, he deliberately did not inform Pilias. This guy should have been left on the mainland of Steel Flame Furnace, so why was he on the ship?
And the woman next to Pilias was even more unfamiliar to him.
But no matter how strange it was, when he looked at the mark on the woman's right breast, he suddenly remembered something.
He seemed to have seen it in some information.
In the alliance, there is a mysterious team called 'Demon Hunters'.
The female demon hunter said, "I am Milia de Jong, the leader of the special investigation team of the demon hunter task force of the Dark Expedition Command. I have brought an order from the command: Wang Kerong is suspected of treason and is to be arrested."
"How dare you!" Wang Kerong stood up suddenly, "Kill them!"
He gave orders to his left and right.
His personal guards of the Crusader Army faithfully carried out his orders and raised their weapons.
But the counterattack from the Space Marines and Demon Hunter teams was even faster. Although those Skitarii guards were elite, they were quickly wiped out.
However, Wang Kerong's greatest reliance was not on these personal guards, but on the trusted sages of the main business and ruling bishops who were attending the meeting in the conference hall.
But what made him feel most disillusioned was that these sages of the main business and the ruling bishops were hesitating in their places and did not move.
