Chapter 452: Chapter 403: Peace Agreement_2

```

But the most worrying thing for 102 was the opponent’s magic power. She had only been using equipment and technique to respond, and hadn’t even shown any intention of releasing magic power!

Wei Shiyue joined the battle, attacking Qing Yao in the air one after the other. Seeing Wei Shiyue return to the fight, Qing Yao looked down and saw sharply that the blood Wei Shiyue had previously spilled on the ground had turned black.

"Necromancy?" Qing Yao knew that pure dragon blood only changed color under specific conditions. She glared at Wei Shiyue and let out an angry shout.

The undead technique had indeed changed Wei Shiyue’s physique to some extent. Now that Qing Yao had pointed it out, Wei Shiyue felt a twinge of pain.

continued to charge up the gunlance, preparing to fire.

Having seen through Wei Shiyue’s necromantic physique. Qing Yao immediately recited secret scripts, employing spells that targeted this specifically, covering her double-headed spear with layers of shimmering lightning and swiftly lunged at Wei Shiyue. Thanks to the technology exchange between Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing and Kyushu High Pavilion, "Immortal Law" had also become a powerful weapon for the Battle Witch.

Wei Shiyue spewed forth Moonlight Flame at Qing Yao, while 102 fired a Mana Meteor. The two massive and destructive ultimate moves attacked Qing Yao from both sides, but it was at this moment that she finally released her magic power.

In the midst of battle, 102 and Wei Shiyue couldn’t see clearly and just felt their cannon strikes and flames weren’t capturing Qing Yao at all. Instead, she easily dodged! Qing Yao moved like a striking falcon, swiftly sweeping past Wei Shiyue. "Blazing Sun Polar", already a formidable weapon forged from both technology and mystery, became even more powerful wrapped in lightning and flame. In Qing Yao’s hands, it whirled and struck, slicing open Wei Shiyue’s flank and causing blood to gush forth.

If not for the dragon scale’s ultimate defense, that strike would have gutted Wei Shiyue!

Outside, 101 watched everything with clarity. In the moment of attack, Qing Yao released her magic power, which exhibited immense effects. Everything surrounding her seemed to "slow down", as if it was some kind of powerful magic controlling the movement of matter. As a result, 102’s cannon strike and Wei Shiyue’s Moonfire both turned into slow motion, failing to harm Qing Yao at all, allowing her to effortlessly use Iron Wings to cause injury.

It was time to leave. 101 thought silently.

Qing Yao widened the distance and retracted her damaged Hovering Cannons. Looking up, she saw 101 continuously leaping, coordinating finely and tracing an arc through the air, forcibly transporting 102 and Wei Shiyue far away, several kilometers distant. Qing Yao could pursue, but her primary duty was to guard Mireya.

She landed quickly and steadied her breath. The fierce battle had also exhausted her to some extent. Qing Yao pushed open a rust-covered iron door, only to find Mireya already dead in her chair, her chest and abdomen riddled with several bullet holes.

A camera in the corner of the room had been smashed. The fact that Mireya had died under her protectiveness caused Qing Yao’s brows to furrow.

The fourth person.

There wasn’t just a trio of aggressors, but also a fourth.

Whatever she had done, Qing Yao would never know now.

As Qing Yao approached the dead Mireya, she noticed that her eyes remained wide open, as if what she encountered just before death was also extremely terrifying. What exactly had she seen? Who had pushed open that door and come in to kill Mireya? Qing Yao glanced at the gun she had given Mireya; it hadn’t been used, Mireya hadn’t even dared to shoot at the assailant.

Qing Yao closed Mireya’s eyes and sat at the old control panel. She inspected Mireya carefully, noticing her arms and legs had been replaced with metal prosthetics, with the seams clearly distinct from her original body. Even the most exalted witches wouldn’t be able to remain intact after such horrific modifications.

Bitch, slave, killing machine.

Qing Yao deliberately waited for 10 minutes.

"Mireya is dead." Qing Yao messaged her superior.

"What about the brain?" her supervisor inquired.

"The optimal preservation window was missed." Qing Yao replied.

There was no further conversation from the other side.

Leaning against the wall of the old sentry post, Qing Yao sat down beside the dead Mireya.

It seemed she would disappoint that dominating Miss Lu, but there was no helping it.

She took out a cigarette from inside her armor, lit one for herself, and took a deep inhale. Blowing a smoke ring into the void of darkness, it expanded slowly in a circle in the air like the period at the end of Mireya’s life.

...

A week later.

Wei Shiyue returned to the battlefield and became even more cautious around dragon-hunting weapons. The pressure on Modern Entertainment Company massively increased, and they had no choice but to change their policies.

What was more critical was the exposure of Li Gaoping’s death. The media rushed to report the death of Modern Entertainment Company’s chairman, Li Gaoping. The newly appointed chairman, Li Minhuan, took control and announced that Silla would reopen, ending five years of martial law measures.

Modern Entertainment needed to set sail anew, while the Righteous Army also lacked the strength to advance southward. Both sides were running low on military funds, so Li Minhuan held a negotiation with the new committee of the Righteous Army that lasted 7 hours. In the end, both sides agreed to a peace agreement, and Wei Shiyue did not attend.

The two sides drew a ceasefire line on the Silla Peninsula. The Righteous Army’s control expanded substantially, crossing Yaoyin Mountain and controlling company cities such as Shunzhou City, Qingyin City in Xingping South Road, and emerging from the mountains to acquire their own ports and grain-producing plains. Overall, both Modern Entertainment Company and the Righteous Army occupied half of the area.

As a result, Silla officially split into two territories: "Silla Labor Union" and "Modern Entertainment Company Territory."

The surviving Silla people hesitated at the ceasefire line, unsure whether to head south or north. To the north, the committee promised fairness but inevitable poverty; to the south, the company promised openness but inevitable exploitation.

Either way, the five-year-long civil war in Silla had ended, and people were set to rebuild their homes on the ruins and heal the terrible scars the civil war had brought.

"How did you deal with the Jade Automaton?" Kong Tai looked at the warship approaching to pick them up and turned to ask 102.

"Before it could call for help, I dismantled it," 102 sat at the port, "pressed the Spiritual Fire onto the seat, plugged the data cable into its interface. The boss had installed a Trojan software inside. So, the Spiritual Fire sent out a lot of ambiguous information, and even leaked Li Gaoping’s death."

"Anything else?" Kong Tai was curious, "It can’t just be that. The Jade Automaton has a special status within Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing."

"Lu Sizhou is not easy to fool. If we did anything more rash, it would definitely enrage her," 102 waved, "we did the simplest thing... When Spiritual Fire returned, it would say good things about Lu Jing. Lu Jing should be fine... Maybe she’ll even be assigned to the Northern Archipelago."

"The Northern Archipelago! We can go on vacation once we’re back," Kong Tai sighed, "after scouring the Silla countryside for so much money, weapons and machinery, our trip was well worth it."

People were packing their bags, ready to return to Anjiu City.

At the other end of the dock, Du Qianqian sat with a worried look, sighing deeply.

"What are you doing?" Wei Shiyue walked up behind her, patted Du Qianqian’s head, and sat beside her.

"Where will you go next?" Du Qianqian looked at Wei Shiyue.

"I don’t know. The command center of the Righteous Army was taken down by Mireya," Wei Shiyue shook her head, watching The Flying Birds Group preparing to load supplies onto the ship to retreat, "the newly appointed are all faces I’m not familiar with... Everyone’s too exhausted to fight, peace enthusiasm is high, war weariness has soared, so boring... and then there’s family matters, I was injured in a previous battle, and with my frail constitution, I’ll need to focus on recuperating."

"How is your family?" Du Qianqian asked, "You and your father..."

"I have been thinking about it for a long time," Wei Shiyue nodded, "Now I feel I should contact my father, but it’s a very private matter... what about you? Du Qianqian, why do you look so downhearted."

"You don’t know," Du Qianqian said gloomily, "I came to Silla to make money. I swore to my boss that I would bring back 300 million in funds, but I’ve only managed to raise a mere five million so far; nowhere near the goal."

"What kind of person is your boss?" Wei Shiyue asked.

"A good person, so I don’t want to disappoint him," Du Qianqian sighed, "I’m really angry at myself now, why did I boast? Is it that easy to make 300 million?"

As she spoke about her troubles, Du Qianqian lowered her head again.

"Is there a future in following him?" Wei Shiyue curiously asked.

"Of course, there is," Du Qianqian nodded vigorously.

Wei Shiyue stood up beside her, looking at the approaching warship, she blinked, made a significant decision, and kicked a pebble from the dock into the sea, feeling relieved.

"Take me with you," Wei Shiyue pulled Du Qianqian to her feet, "Do you think I’m worth 300 million?"

Looking at Wei Shiyue, Du Qianqian opened her mouth slightly, holding her breath.
