Chapter 1583: Chapter 851: Qing Chen’s Destiny Fragment 3

“Hmm?” The Fifth Princess glanced at Qing Chen.

She watched as the Chief Butler brought out a list and then picked up the internal phone, reading aloud: “Transfer Ryan from the Net Ship, Mason from the Cigar Ship…”

Qing Chen read out over two hundred names in one breath, then said: “All of them are to be transferred to the Second Brigade’s Reconnaissance Camp of the Third Division. They are required to report aboard the ‘Fifth Princess’ within 15 minutes.”

Marquis Bolton was surprised and asked: “Who are these people?”

Qing Chen laughed and said: “They are all B-Class or above experts that the small nobles around the frontline base have employed, at great effort, to protect themselves. Marquis, you are still the nominal commander of the frontline base, so naturally, you have the authority to modify their assignments. Instead of protecting those small nobles, these experts would be better serving the Third Division to protect you, Marquis.”

Right then, the Reconnaissance Camp of the Second Brigade, Third Division, instantaneously formed a special force whose paper strength was comparable to the Shadow Troop. Anyone below B-Class in this recon camp was trembling!

Although Marquis Bolton received the transfer order, he was still the nominal commander of the frontline base, so he could indeed do this.

But both Marquis Bolton and the Fifth Princess were left dumbstruck by Qing Chen’s maneuver. Even the Fifth Princess hadn’t expected the power of the frontline base to be used this way?!

Are those small nobles not likely to cry?!

Bear in mind, those small nobles spent huge sums to recruit those experts. Previously, every frontline base commander adhered silently to the rules, seldom infringing upon the protective rights of the small nobles since influential figures like Kennedy Marquis backed nobles like those of Blue Mountain. What wrong is there in a father wanting experts to protect his son as he earns honors?

But just because no one had done it before doesn’t mean the frontline base commander lacks the authority to do so…

Everyone simply hadn’t exercised this power.

Qing Chen looked at the Fifth Princess and said, “With these people protecting the Marquis, you can rest a bit easier, Princess Royal. Although the Third Division’s leader is very safe, things are different now; giants will actively attack. The leader always has to enter the Taboo Forest, and if ambushed by giants, the Marquis would be in danger.”

The Fifth Princess thought for a moment: “Hmm, you have a point.”

In her view, whether the small nobles had protection was unimportant; her husband’s safety was the priority!

Of course, what Qing Chen did not say was that his main purpose in coming to the West Continent was to gather intelligence and weaken the Roosevelt Kingdom’s strength.

Although this action seemed to protect Marquis Bolton, in reality, Qing Chen had accomplished three objectives: the first was to cause small nobles to lose their protection and increase mortality rates; the second was to transfer the experts into cannon fodder units, ready to send them to their deaths; the third was to gain the favor of Marquis Bolton and the Fifth Princess.

Moreover, this special force was under his control, and there was a lot he could do with it.

Eventually, Qing Chen could get all these experts and small nobles killed, and Marquis Bolton would still have to thank him.

The next moment, Marquis Bolton sighed: “Chief Butler, you’re always thinking of me, what a blessing it is to have you.”

Qing Chen smiled and said: “I am also thinking of myself, because if anything were to happen to you, Marquis Bolton, my honors would no longer have a place.”

The Fifth Princess silently watched Qing Chen, not knowing what to think.

Soon, an officer approached the office door. He smiled and bowed slightly to the Fifth Princess: “Princess Royal, I am Doug Cambell, here to undertake the transition with Marquis Bolton.”

This Doug Marquis had arrived at the frontline base with the Duke of Storm City.

The Duke of Storm City even knew who would be replacing Bolton ahead of time, so once the command note was opened, the successor quickly came to transition, fearing delay might result in problems.

Marquis Bolton looked at Doug Marquis: “Do I need to complete transition procedures? Do I need to do anything?”

Doug Marquis replied: “I was previously the commander of Base No. 2, so I greatly understand how the frontline base operates, and since Base No. 9 is well-organized, there’s no need to trouble you, Marquis Bolton, with this transition.”

The implication of Doug Marquis was: I’m ready to take over; you should hurry on to your position as leader.

This new commander needed to swiftly complete the power transition and firmly grasp control of the frontline base.

The Fifth Princess seemed to have realized something; she quickly took Bolton out, smiling to Doug Marquis and saying: “Then we will go to the Third Division, and here we leave it to Doug Marquis.”

After speaking, the Fifth Princess quietly told Bolton: “Hurry and leave.”

In fact, as they just boarded the Fifth Princess’s Royal Hovercraft, through the window, they saw countless small nobles furiously swarming into the office building…

Due to the recent transfer orders, the small nobles were desperate; the experts their clans had hired had all been freely taken away, which made anyone furious!

They were about to lodge complaints with the frontline base commander!

At this moment, Doug had just sat in the office chair, imagining how he would assist the Duke of Storm City in accomplishing great feats here, feeling momentarily relaxed.

The Duke of Storm City had promised him that after this war, he would definitely help him earn Marquis Level 3 merits, and allow him to return to the city with real power.

Originally, everyone had thought the power transition would be bumpy, but Doug Marquis hadn’t expected the transition with Marquis Bolton to be so smooth.

This Marquis Bolton was indeed easy to talk to.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw one small noble after another at the door, looking at him angrily.

What’s happening?!

Once he understood the situation, he was stunned; damn, before Bolton left, he had laid such a big trap for him?!

Doug Marquis wanted to immediately modify the transfer order.

But unintentionally glanced out the window and saw the Fifth Princess steadily ascend with those two hundred-odd experts, flying off into the distance.

He looked back at the computer; the Third Division had already signed the acceptance order for the transfer.

Done; it couldn’t be modified!

Doug Marquis looked desperately at the hovercraft flying away, feeling like cursing!
