Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 737 A Way Out

“Boss, we’ve gotten some more cosmic source energy. Should we send it over?”

Just as Li Chenzhou was controlling the fortress and slowly advancing, Duan Lei’s voice suddenly came over the communicator. Because they had been collecting cosmic source energy, especially now that they had eliminated all the Devourers in their own world and no one could disturb them, the collection speed had also begun to increase.

Of course, when transporting the cosmic source energy, Duan Lei and the others were using space chariots, using the spatial isolation within the space chariot to contain the cosmic source energy to prevent the collapse of the space channel!

Hearing Duan Lei’s words, Li Chenzhou did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Xiaoya:

“Girl, can I control these Devourers?”

At this time, only Xiaoxin and the Devourers he hatched were left in the small world. Moreover, because the cosmic source energy was limited, Xiaoxin was now hatching other Devourers. The five hundred elite Devourers that were hatched using cosmic source energy and could control other Devourers were all on standby in the small world.

“Controlling them is definitely impossible! Unless brother himself has a control skill or talent!”

Xiaoya shook her head:

“However, I can have Xiaoxin issue orders to them, so that they will all unconditionally obey your orders!”

“Good! That works too!”

Li Chenzhou nodded:

“Then give me all the Devourers that have been hatched, and then you take Xiaoxin back to the space channel!”

Li Chenzhou had seen the monitoring from Duan Lei’s side. Because of their rapid advance, the Mother Empress was somewhat afraid. Therefore, there were no Devourers at the entrance of the space channel. The eight Mother Nests from before should all be desperately rushing back.

However, because they had to constantly send reinforcements to Li Chenzhou’s world, these Mother Nests were all spherical incubation-type Mother Nests, not combat-type Mother Nests like space battleships or giant chariots.

Therefore, the movement speed of the eight Mother Nests was very slow. Li Chenzhou had been in the city for so long, and they had only just reached the halfway point. In other words, the space channel was actually quite safe now.

To go deep into the city and kill the Mother Empress would definitely be dangerous. Although Li Chenzhou did not know that the Mother Empress had ten thousand extremely powerful Devourer Guards, he could guess that the Mother Empress definitely had trump cards.

After all, she was the boss of the Devourers. If she could be easily killed, the Devourers would not have become a race that dominated the universe!

Therefore, Li Chenzhou planned to send Xiaoya to the space channel. Anyway, she only needed to control Xiaoxin, and the Devourer army hatched by Xiaoxin could rush over from the space channel, since it wasn’t too far away.

Moreover, if they really failed here, Xiaoya and the others would be at the space channel, making it easier to retreat. They could at least resist for a while when they went back, or simply hide.

Li Chenzhou knew that Duan Lei had already prepared a place near the villa base to hide a war fortress. Duan Lei originally planned to build some underground bases like this around other bases, but because the time was too short, he simply didn’t have enough time.

Therefore, even if they failed this time, Duan Lei and the others would at least have a retreat route. However, they might have to hide below all the time, and probably wouldn’t have the ability to counterattack.

“Why are you making me go back?”

Xiaoya didn’t think much about Li Chenzhou’s order. After all, she was just a little girl, and hadn’t thought that Li Chenzhou was already thinking about what to do if they failed. She was just wondering why Li Chenzhou suddenly asked her to go back to the space channel!

“Girl! When I came here before, I left a lot of energy for the war fortress that I gave to Xiaolei, because I thought they would be under constant attack!”

Li Chenzhou didn’t say his real intention, but he did have a pretty good reason. He rubbed Xiaoya’s head and said:

“But now, the Devourers over there have all come to chase us, and Xiaolei doesn’t have a single Devourer. Xiaoxin’s hatching requires a lot of energy, so after you go back, you can use the energy there to hatch Devourers.

That way, I can save some energy here. In addition, the cosmic source energy is collected in our world, so after it’s sent over, you can use it directly, which is much more convenient! Right?”

“Yes!”

Hearing Li Chenzhou’s explanation, Xiaoya nodded vigorously.

In Xiaoya’s heart, she was finally not just a child who only needed to look after Xiaoyu’er. She could also help her brother, which was very important to Xiaoya.

“Alright! I’ll give you a war fortress later. After you enter, just have the AI drive the fortress back to Xiaolei. Then you follow Brother Xiaolei, and remember to listen to him, okay?”

Li Chenzhou squatted down and looked into Xiaoya’s eyes and said:

“Now, first order those Devourers that have already been hatched to obey my command, and then I’ll send you away!”

“Okay!”

Xiaoya nodded vigorously, and then communicated with Xiaoxin through mental power. Because Xiaoxin was completely controlled by Xiaoya, he immediately issued an order to all the Devourers in the small world, telling them to obey Li Chenzhou’s orders.

Li Chenzhou didn’t say much. He looked outside, then ordered an increase in firepower, blasting apart all the Devourer fighters that were chasing them, and then piloted the fortress into the sky.

After getting rid of the fighter attacks, Li Chenzhou immediately removed the war fortress’s energy shield, then teleported Xiaoya, Xiaoxin, and himself outside, and immediately exchanged for a new war fortress, and after entering, teleported them to the small world!

Leaving some slaughter points in the fortress to ensure that Xiaoya and the others could support the energy shield all the way back to the space channel, and also have a certain amount of surplus to deal with unexpected situations, Li Chenzhou once again said to Xiaoya:

“Girl, I’ve already set the route for the AI. It will fly at high altitude, avoiding the Devourer Mother Nests along the way, and return directly to the space channel. Once you get there, you immediately take Xiaoxin back to Brother Xiaolei’s fortress, understand?”

“Yes! I understand, brother, don’t worry! Xiaoya is very powerful!”

Xiaoya waved her fist and said:

“I will definitely create a Devourer army for brother! To help brother defeat that bad Mother Empress in the city!”

“Hahahaha! Good! Keep it up, girl!!!”

Li Chenzhou laughed loudly, then rubbed Xiaoya’s head, teleported himself out, and at the same time, ordered the AI in his heart.

Upon receiving the order, the AI immediately controlled the war fortress to ascend into the sky. Because the flight altitude of incubation-type Mother Nests was not high, flying from high altitude would avoid encountering the eight Mother Nests that had not yet arrived, as well as the fighters they sent!

Seeing the fortress ascend into the sky, Li Chenzhou turned around, made a fatal raid, and returned to his own war fortress, which had already opened its energy shield…
