?. The Heaven Hammer flew hundreds of meters within the demon army's formation, knocking down twenty-some large cockroaches and several dragon sharks. A species resembling leopards—dark-bodied, about ten meters long, with two front legs and four rear ones, giving it an unusual appearance—also perished in the assault. While more agile than the cockroaches and sharks, these leopard demons were constrained by their position between the two groups and thus succumbed to the crushing blows. "Everyone, surround Qin Feng and eliminate him!" Meili shouted, her voice sharp with frustration. A single attack from the enemy had already wiped out a whole squad of her forces—how utterly frustrating! The outer ranks of demons launched swift assaults, charging forward while simultaneously hurling energy spheres. To them, a distance of one kilometer was merely a single step; within seconds, they poured over the battlefield in overwhelming numbers. Qin's spiritual energy had been completely depleted, and now the only thing they could do was retreat into the small tripod. Qingya stepped forward, holding up the Thunder Pearl and said, "Watch me." Crack! Crack! Several lightning bolts materialized out of nowhere, blocking the incoming energy spheres and the magical beings. The next moment, both of them flew into the small tripod. "Oh, I'm so weak—I'm going to lean on your shoulder," he said, seizing the opportunity while Qingya was still adjusting to the situation, and immediately wrapped her in his arms. His hands, meanwhile, were busy exploring and moving around her. "Wait—didn't you say you wanted to lean on my shoulder? What are you doing now, taking advantage of me? Get your hands off!" The beautiful Monitor realized she was being taken advantage of and started struggling. "Someone who only fixes computers when it comes to computers is rather unkind. Likewise, someone who only leans on shoulders without doing anything else is also quite impolite," he said with a cheerful smile. She was momentarily stunned: "What does fixing computers have to do with this?" "What does it matter what kind of computer repair they're doing? I only care about getting a good deal. He changes the subject, saying, "There are so many magical beings. How long do you think it will take them to conquer Europe?" Qingya frowns slightly: "Given their strength, a small unit can take over a city in just a few minutes. To conquer a whole country... Wait, what are you doing with your hands? Don't move around! "Ah, I'm listening. How long would it take to conquer a country?" "An hour should be enough for a medium-sized nation—shouldn't be a problem... Qin Feng, you're becoming more and more unreasonable." "Then how about conquering the entire Europe? Head, I'm not sure your analysis is on point. Let's see if it matches my expectations." "Hmph! You dare to look down on me? I believe the Europeans will hold out for no more than two days, and then the outcome will be roughly half surrendering and half fleeing. What are you doing? Don't reach into my clothes—I'm going to chop off your hands!" "Qin Shao didn't just reach into her clothes—he smoothly unfastened her sash as well. "Qin Feng, I'm going to fight you to the end… hmm…" How am I going to fight? Your lips are already under my control, and every part of my body is under siege. Are we going to see who can last longer in the kiss? To be safe, he laid the beautiful magistrate beside him, both of them collapsing to the ground—this way, he could minimize her already limited resistance. True strength is indeed remarkable. When I wasn't strong enough to match her, I could only bow and comply. Now, though, the peasant girl has turned the tables—no matter how excessive things get, she has to accept them gracefully. Hah! Outside, Mei Li was furious: "Qin Feng, you're so indifferent! How can you treat me this way? To defeat me with your numbers and strength? Show me your strength and fight me single-handedly!" Several magical warriors wiped sweat from their brows, wondering what had come over the general—her logic seemed off. How could she have used such a phrase as "using fewer to overcome more"? No one dared speak up, fearing they'd be blamed. When the warrior leader saw that no one else was willing to voice their concerns, he stepped forward and said, "General, shall we stay here waiting for that person to appear, or shall we carry out our original mission?" "Waiting? Do you think that young man will simply show up?" she snapped. "Everyone—execute the previous order: go ahead and destroy everything without hesitation." "What if the humans choose to surrender on their own?" "Refuse," she said, clearly annoyed. The warrior leader frowned. "That might not be ideal. If we refuse surrender, the humans will feel cornered and fight to the last drop, which could make it harder for us to fully conquer them." The female demon gave him a sharp look. "Then, refuse surrender at the beginning. Only after we've truly frightened them will we consider accepting it." "Understood." He quickly led the group away. Not long after, loud explosions echoed around, and the battle began. Though the armies and civilians of European nations had made thorough preparations, they hadn't anticipated so many magical beings. Faced with attacks coming from all directions, they were utterly overwhelmed, barely able to defend themselves. Smoke spread everywhere, soon filling the skies over all of Europe. Mirel's flames finally began to subside, yet she still scowled at her subordinates and said, "Once we've conquered Europe, we'll move on to Africa, then Asia, and finally the Chinese realm. I'll see how well you can withstand that." In the small pavilion, Qingya pushed Qin Feng aside and remarked, "That's enough, don't you think? You're not satisfied yet." Her clothes were disheveled, her cheeks flushed, looking just like a perfectly ripe red apple. "Heh, this is only the beginning—there's still so much more ahead." He reached out again, ready to move in. The beautiful Inspector quickly held her chest with both hands, saying, "You dare? I'll fight you to the death, you stubborn one! How can you be so ungrateful? The main matter is at stake—definitely, the demonic forces must have already caused chaos outside. You're not even concerned at all!" He shrugged, "What's there to be anxious about?" "The demons are killing people and causing destruction, aren't they?" The woman narrowed her eyes and began to straighten her clothes. "This is Europe. The demons haven't harmed the Chinese realm. I simply don't care!" he huffed. Qingya truly grew concerned, "Even if they're Europeans, they're still part of humanity on Earth—can you really just ignore them?" "Qin smiled hesitantly: "A century and a half ago, the world's powers used their powerful ships and advanced weapons to open the gates of the Chinese realm. Once they set foot on Chinese soil, they committed wanton acts of burning, killing, looting and plundering. To this day, countless Chinese cultural relics scattered across Europe were taken during those campaigns—many of them seized right then and there. The Chinese people have never come to reclaim them, which is already quite generous. This perfectly illustrates the saying: 'When you come into the world, you must eventually repay. How could I possibly remain indifferent?' In my view, today's China has grown strong—why shouldn't it demand compensation from these powers? Why shouldn't it take everything it wants, and demand that they return everything they've taken? Who dares to resist? I'll simply crush them. The young监察 officer, however, looked at him with a raised eyebrow: "A rather twisted logic."
