Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 851: Fragments of Qing Chen’s Destiny

Marquis Barton's office door was wide open. The handsome marquis sat in front of his computer, issuing orders one after another through the internal phone.

It looked as if he were remotely controlling the entire forward base.

When Five Princess entered the office, Marquis Barton's focused demeanor was so captivating that she almost believed all the achievements were her husband's.

But after regaining her senses, she smiled and pulled Marquis Barton up from his seat: "Am I not more important than work?"

Five Princess had to pull Marquis Barton up because she knew that if she didn't, he would continue pretending.

She knew her husband too well. Without the great steward, her husband was just a typical pretty vase.

Marquis Barton stood up and embraced Five Princess with a beaming smile: "Oh, my dear…"

Five Princess laughed: "There are others here. Storm Duke also came to visit our battle hero." Marquis Barton's gaze moved past her shoulder to the tall Storm Duke at the door: "Duke, long time no see."

Storm Duke looked around the office and smiled: "Marquis Barton endured weight training for three years and finally cleared out all the accumulated problems in the No. 9 outpost. This effort is admirable. I regret accusing you back then."

Marquis Barton smiled gracefully: "Please don't blame yourself, Duke. I was accused for the sake of the kingdom."

Storm Duke sat on the sofa, Black Widow guarding the door.

Storm Duke smiled and asked: "His Majesty should have given Princess two imperial decrees, one for Princess. It states that Marquis Barton will become the director of the Ministry of Transportation in the future. So, what about the decree for Marquis Barton? We can open it and take a look. With Marquis Barton's talent, staying at the outpost is a waste. The King should give him a more important wartime position.

No. 9 outpost is a fat position, but an ambitious marquis should go to the battlefield, for that is where merit is made.

Therefore, now that Marquis Barton has shown his ability, the King will give him more important positions.

Marquis Barton's eyes twitched slightly, sensing something.

Leaving the outpost means leaving his comfort zone. Qing Chen had just got the place in order, allowing him to enjoy the Virtual Realm.

As a result, the credit was too great, forcing him to go to the front line and take on greater responsibility… This news is good for others, but for Barton, it's a bolt from the blue!

Five Princess turned to Storm Duke: "Duke, do you already know where my husband is going?"

Storm Duke smiled slightly: "It was my suggestion to His Majesty."

Five Princess tore open the sealed imperial decree and read in a low voice: "Immediately appoint Marquis Barton as the commander of the Third Division, and explore the rules of the b79 zone within 14 days…"

She looked up at Storm Duke: "You're sending my husband to die in the cannon fodder division?"

"Five Princess, where did you get that idea? This is a gift for Marquis Barton," Storm Duke shook his head. "The commander of the Third Division doesn't need to explore the rules personally. So don't worry about life safety. My subordinates have already explored the rules of the b79 zone's Forbidden Forest last week, and will report it to Marquis Barton. This is another merit. Princess, this is my gift, a bonus for Marquis Barton. The commander of the Third Division will be promoted to the army commander of the First Army Group. The position is vacant."

For a moment, Barton was unsure whether Storm Duke was friend or foe.

Ordinary nobles going to the Third Division are afraid, after all, it's a concentration camp for cannon fodder, a nine-death-one-life situation.

But for a marquis, the commander of the Third Division is a very good position.

As the saying goes, the commander is firm, the soldiers are fleeting. The cannon fodder of the Third Division dies repeatedly, but the commander is untouched, undying.

Moreover, the former commander of the Third Division used human lives to pile up countless merits, promoted to level 5 marquis, and went to the First Army Group as army commander.

The merits of the Third Division are easy to obtain. Just use human lives to test the rules.

Now, the deadline given in the imperial decree and the gift from Storm Duke seem to really help in the promotion to level 5 Marquis.

Five Princess thought for a moment and smiled: "Thank you, Storm Duke."

Storm Duke nodded and stood up: "I won't disturb your reunion. I have business to attend to. I'll leave now."

When leaving, Black Widow passed a restroom, glanced at the back of someone cleaning, and continued walking.

Storm Duke calmly asked: "Did you find anything? Is it Marquis Barton's ability?"

Black Widow whispered behind him: "No abnormalities detected."

"Phew, let's ignore it for now. Subduing the Giant Dynasty is the main thing."

Five Princess and Marquis Barton stood by the window, silently watching Storm Duke board the Airship back to the Storm Air Fortress.

Qing Chen walked in from outside with a broom, politely saying: "Greetings, Princess. I'm Qing Chen."

"Not the first time meeting," Five Princess shook her head. "I've seen you in the fragments of Barton's destiny." As she spoke, the thin Five Princess looked at Qing Chen intently, wanting to see something from his face.

Qing Chen's heart tightened. He wasn't sure what Five Princess had seen.

Five Princess observed carefully, but couldn't see anything unusual on Qing Chen's face.

Then, Qing Chen asked: "Princess, what do you think of Storm Duke?"

"At this level, there's no need to be polite to anyone except His Majesty. Even my father is courteous to them," Five Princess said. "He suggested my father promote Barton to commander of the Third Division. I can't tell if it's good or bad. I know what he wants."

"What does he want?" Marquis Barton asked.

"Whether he impeached him a year and a half ago or used his merits to have him transferred now, he actually wants to take control of the No. 9 outpost," Five Princess explained. "On the way to Storm City and the Forbidden Forest, the No. 9 outpost is his necessary passage. He doesn't want his retreat and supply lifeline in the hands of others, which is normal.

So, Storm Duke recommending Marquis Barton to the Third Division is just to get rid of Barton and place his people in the outpost. That's all."

"Political matters are like this. There's no need to set up enemies and friends. You only need to pursue your goals. On this road, those who obstruct are enemies, those who help are friends. Today's enemy can be tomorrow's friend."

Marquis Barton said with a bitter face: "But I have to go to the Third Division. It's said to be very hard." Five Princess caressed his face and comforted him: "Don't worry, it'll be over once this war is over. Then you can return to the Royal Capital with me, and you'll never need to come to the battlefield again."

Marquis Barton: "My dear, you're like the sun in my life, illuminating my life. Without you, my life would be dark, and my future bleak."

Qing Chen stood expressionlessly, watching Five Princess blush.

Let's just say Five Princess really fell for that line.

Then, Five Princess looked at Qing Chen: "Do you want to know the fragments of your destiny?"

Qing Chen bowed slightly: "I'm all ears, Princess."

"I saw you killing Storm Duke with your own hands one day, with Barton by your side," Five Princess said with a smile.

Qing Chen laughed: "Princess, you're joking. How can I, a C-level, kill Storm Duke?"

Five Princess laughed too: "It was a joke. Actually, I saw Barton standing in the Royal Capital's palace receiving a ducal crown in the future, and you were smiling beside him. I saw this fragment years ago. Back then, I was curious how my husband became a duke, and who you were beside him. Only a few days ago, when I saw your information, did I understand that fate revealed itself years ago."

Qing Chen thought, it's a close call, it's a good thing you didn't see Barton become the new king of the West Continent, otherwise there would be no way to explain it… As for Five Princess's previous statement about killing Storm Duke, he wasn't sure whether she was really joking.

But if she really saw it, how would Five Princess think about a C-level Gene Soldier killing a Demi-God? That's very wrong.

Now, Five Princess is clearly more thoughtful than Barton, Qing Chen couldn't judge which of her words are true and which are false.

Fate Weaver, extremely mysterious.

The next moment, Five Princess's blue eyes turned black, like the starry sky, with brilliant light, like a Milky Way.

Qing Chen realized that she was using Fate Weaver's ability to look at him.

Previously, Five Princess had seen him through Barton's destiny, but now she was going to directly look at his destiny!

He wanted to immediately take out Beyond the Three Realms and put it on, but he held back.

Soon, Five Princess's eyes returned to normal, but her expression became a little surprised.

Qing Chen asked slowly: "Princess, what did you see?"

Five Princess frowned: "I see you living like an ordinary person in Royal Capital, buying groceries, cooking, but strangely, Black Widow and a life robot are following you. Black Widow isn't Storm Duke's person, why is she following you?" This fragment is so unbelievable that Five Princess couldn't help but blurt it out.

Marquis Barton joked: "Could it be that you became the new empress and appointed him as the new Storm Duke?"

Qing Chen and Five Princess didn't speak.

Everyone knows that Storm Duke controls the black brain legacy of the Arbiters, so the family is inherited, and there's no way for an outsider to replace Storm Duke.

Only a pretty vase like Barton would think of this.

But the problem is, no one can explain why Black Widow, by Storm Duke's side, would appear like a subordinate beside this great steward……

Five Princess looked at Qing Chen carefully, her thoughts churning, hard to make a decision.

She suddenly said: "Barton, pack your bags and prepare to go to the Third Division. After handing over to the current commander, he can take over the First Army Group."

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: "I need to do some things before going to the Third Division."

"Huh?" Five Princess looked at Qing Chen.

He took out a list and picked up the internal phone, reading: "Transfer Ryan from the basket number, Mason from the cigar number…"

Qing Chen read over two hundred names in one breath, and said: "All transferred to the Third Division's Second Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion. They're required to report to the Five Princess ship within 15 minutes."

Marquis Barton was surprised: "Who are these people?"

Qing Chen smiled: "They are all B-level and above experts around the small nobles in the outpost, carefully recruited by the small nobles to protect themselves. Marquis, you are still the commander of the outpost, so you have the right to modify their organization. These experts, instead of protecting those small nobles, are better off protecting the Marquis."

In an instant, the Third Division's Second Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion became a special force with paper strength surpassing the Shadow troops. In this reconnaissance battalion, anyone below B-level would tremble!

Although Marquis Barton has been transferred, he is still the nominal commander of the outpost, so he can do this.

But Barton and Five Princess were stunned by Qing Chen's move, even Five Princess didn't expect the outpost's power to be used like this?!

Those small nobles would be furious?!

You know, the small nobles recruited those experts at great expense. In the past, all outpost commanders silently followed the rules and rarely infringed on the self-preservation power of the small nobles. After all, behind such noble sons were powerful figures like Marquis Kenney. It's understandable that their fathers want to protect their sons with experts to gain merits.

But because no one has done this before, it doesn't mean that the outpost commander has no right to do so... people just didn't use this power.

Qing Chen looked at Five Princess and said: "With these people around to protect you, Princess, you can rest assured."

Although the commander of the Third Division is safe, it's different now, the giants will actively attack. The commander still has to enter the Forbidden Forest. If ambushed by giants, the Marquis will be in danger.

Five Princess pondered for a moment: "Hmm, you're right."

In her opinion, whether those small nobles have protection doesn't matter, only whether her husband is safe matters!

Of course, Qing Chen didn't say that his main purpose in coming to the West Continent was to find ways to probe and weaken the Roosevelt Kingdom's strength.

This move seems to protect Marquis Barton, but Qing Chen has actually achieved three goals: first, let the small nobles lose their protection, increasing their death rate; second, transfer the experts into the cannon fodder camp, ready to send them to die; third, gain the favor of Marquis Barton and Five Princess.

Moreover, this special force is in his hands, and there are many things he can do.

Then Qing Chen would kill all these experts and small nobles, and Marquis Barton would still have to thank him.

The next second, Marquis Barton exclaimed: "Steward, you are always thinking for me, it's my good fortune to have you."

Qing Chen smiled slightly: "I'm also doing it for myself. If anything happens to Marquis Barton, my merits will be gone."

Five Princess silently looked at Qing Chen, not knowing what she was thinking.

Soon, an officer came to the office door, smiling slightly at Five Princess: "Princess, I'm Doug Campbell, here to hand over with Marquis Barton."

This Marquis Doug arrived at the outpost with Storm Duke.

Storm Duke even knew who would replace Barton in advance, so as soon as the decree was opened, this successor immediately came to take over.

Marquis Barton looked at Marquis Doug: "I need to handle the handover, right? What do I need to do?"

Marquis Doug said: "Well, I was previously the commander of outpost No. 2, so I'm very familiar with the operation of the outpost, and the No. 9 outpost is quite orderly. We don't need Marquis Barton to do the handover."

Marquis Doug's implication was: I'm ready, you can go be your commander.

This new commander needs to quickly complete the transition of power and firmly grasp the outpost.

Five Princess seemed to realize something and immediately pulled Barton out, smiling at Marquis Doug: "Then we'll go to the Third Division, I'll leave this to you, Marquis Doug."

Then, Five Princess whispered to Barton: "Let's go."

In fact, as soon as they boarded Five Princess's royal Airship, they saw countless small nobles angrily rushing into the office building through the window... because of the recent transfer, the small nobles were desperate. The experts their families hired were actually poached. Who wouldn't be angry? They were going to find the outpost commander to complain. At this moment, Doug just sat in his office chair, fantasizing about assisting Storm Duke in his great cause, and his mood was very pleasant.

Storm Duke promised him that at the end of the war, he would help him get level 3 marquis merits and let him return to the city to take charge.

Originally, everyone thought the handover would have twists and turns, but Marquis Doug didn't expect the handover with Marquis Barton to be so smooth.

Marquis Barton was quite easy to talk to.

As a result, he had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw small nobles with angry faces at the door. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

What's going on?

After he learned what had happened, he was shocked. Barton actually dug such a big pit for him before leaving.

Marquis Doug wanted to immediately modify the transfer.

But when he inadvertently looked out the window, he saw the Five Princess ship slowly rising into the sky, flying away with those two hundred experts.

He looked at the computer again, and the Third Division had signed the acceptance letter for the transfer.

It's over, it's impossible to modify it.

Marquis Doug looked at the Airship in despair, wishing he could curse.
