Chapter 104: Rest and Retirement After the Battle

"We won?"

After a few minutes of silence, a family member finally asked tentatively.

Duan Ming also gradually calmed down from the shock of what happened in front of him. He took a deep breath and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Brothers! Clean up the battlefield and count the casualties. We won this war!"

Countless shouts rang out in the family voice chat group. Everyone's emotions burst out in an instant. Even without the addition of the loudspeaker system, their shouts spread throughout the area.

An hour later, Duan Ming stood in the command room on the terrace, listening to the battle reports of each group.

"One group of warships was not damaged, the shells were exhausted, and there were no casualties."

"The development base group was not damaged, the gun barrels were exhausted, and there were no casualties."

"The four warships of the Death Fleet were seriously damaged, the ammunition was exhausted, and there were no casualties."

Listening to the reports of each group, Duan Ming's heart was completely relieved. Compared with the previous star beast raid, the Duan family can be said to have won this war almost without any damage.

"Weapon control team, open the ammunition warehouse, each team will collect ammunition in turn. The warships of the Death Fleet will stop at the landing base first and will be repaired later."

Although all the weapons and ammunition for combat readiness have been consumed, the ammunition warehouse still contains double the ammunition that Duan Ming "blackmailed" the military after the last raid by the Star Beasts. It just happened to come in handy.

"Xianglu, go and inform the family that the exercise is over. The family will invite everyone to dinner in the cafeteria tonight."

...

Two hours later, the result of the war between the Duan family and the Cheng family was known to all forces.

At the headquarters of the Seventh Domain Military, Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li and Captain Lin Dengwan.

"Lieutenant Colonel, although the Duan family won the war, it must have paid a heavy price. Why don't we take this opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop?"

Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li's expression was a bit complicated. After a long time, he shook his head and said.

"No, the Cheng family dispatched a Titan flagship battleship this time, but they were all annihilated. We can't take this risk!"

"But Colonel, we provided the coordinates of the Duan family to the Cheng family. This time they entered the seventh domain, and we did not stop them at all. When Duan Ming reacts, what if he comes to settle accounts with us?"

This is also the concern of Colonel Gu Li.

"In this way, you go to the Duan family in person. It seems that it was indeed my decision-making mistake to give up Duan Ming before. You think of a way to see if you can reach a new cooperation with the Duan family."

...

On the back of the Fire Rock Beast, Duan Ming was lying on the rocking chair in front of the villa, and the voice call request rang.

"You are really good! You can deal with the Titan flagship battleship. Tell me, what method did you use?"

Dugu Er's question was by no means to pry into Duan Ming's secrets, but just his curiosity about academic issues.

Duan Ming smiled. Of course, he would not tell the matter of the springtail swallowing, so he just found an excuse.

"Professor Dugu, the Titan is not that good. I just fired a few rounds and it was torn apart."

Dugu Er naturally didn't believe Duan Ming's answer. He also understood Duan Ming's concerns and didn't ask any more questions. He just reminded him.

"As the latest flagship warship of the Earth Alliance, the Titan was destroyed in its first actual combat. The Earth Alliance will definitely get to the bottom of it. Maybe after a while, the people from the Earth Alliance will come to your door. You have to prepare in advance for how to deal with it."

Duan Ming's face also showed a trace of seriousness.

"Thank you for the reminder, professor. I understand."

After the call was hung up, the next voice call request was followed by Ai Xiaoxing, the chairman of Xingya Group and Tang Yaqing's mother.

"Is Yaqing okay?"

Ai Xiaoxing's tone was worried, and even a little reproachful.

"Chairman, don't worry, Yaqing is fine. I don't know about the agreement between you and Yaqing last time..."

What Duan Ming was referring to was the agreement between the mother and daughter regarding the war between the Duan family and the Cheng family. Now that the Duan family has won, according to the agreement, Ai Xiaoxing will no longer oppose Tang Yaqing staying in the Duan family.

There was silence on the other end of the call for a moment, and then Ai Xiaoxing's voice sounded again.

"I will come to you in person in three days. If you need any additional equipment and facilities, just make a list and send it to me."

After hanging up the call, Duan Ming let out a long breath and stood up from the rocking chair.

After this war, the Cheng family became history, and the Duan family has truly grown into an existence that can compete with these big families. It has gained a lot, but the crisis still exists.

At present, in the seventh domain, the Han family is neutral, and the attitude of the military and the government may be ambiguous towards the Duan family after this war, and only one of the Yishen Star and the Duan family can stay.

"Brother! Ride a horse!"

Just as Duan Ming was thinking, a childish voice rang out. It was the children who were playing at the command post on the terrace at the beginning of the war, and their parents followed behind them.

Duan Ming squatted down and let the child who was talking sit on his shoulders.

"Oh! Ride a horse! Go!"

Even though the child slapped his head, Duan Ming did not show any displeasure, but instead ran in coordination.

When the parents saw this scene, their expressions were a little strange.

After the children got tired of playing, they got off Duan Ming's shoulders and went to look for other "toys".

"Duan... Master Duan, the children don't know the rules. We will discipline them when we go back."

Seeing these parents being so polite, even with a little fear in their politeness, Duan Ming smiled.

"I was not very nice to you on the terrace at the beginning of the exercise. I'm sorry."

Seeing Duan Ming apologize to them, several parents hurriedly shook their hands: "Master Duan, this is not allowed. Isn't this embarrassing for us?"

Duan Ming understood that their current attitude towards him was due to the "exercise" that was too realistic just now.

"Aunts, from the first day you came here, I told you that in the family, you are all my elders, Duan Ming. In wartime, I need everyone to obey my orders, but in daily life, there is no superior or subordinate between us, only relatives."

Before the dinner that night, Duan Ming told this passage again to the families of all family members, which made them feel closer to Duan Ming.

Regarding this war, all family members from top to bottom spoke in the same tone, it was just an exercise.

And through this "exercise", the family members of the family members were more assured about the safety of their living environment.

It took the Duan family only one day to recover from the war. At this time, Bai Xianglu brought good news!
