In the open area, the military strategist of the old imperial family quickly calculated several possible routes for the holders of the relics to return to their base based on the direction of Xiaguang's landing position, and based on this, they came up with a strategy.

After being reviewed and approved by the Chinese army, telegrams were immediately sent to all armies, and then the artillery troops scattered in various positions were quickly mobilized under the drag of large groups of alienated mules and horses.

In just a few hours, multiple artillery positions were deployed along the main sections of the route, and hot air balloons rose into the sky one by one.

This time, a total of more than 400 light and heavy artillery pieces were mobilized, but because they were scattered across the vast wilderness, there were not many of each part.

At that time, each department will identify and locate the target through the hot-air balloon observers and airship observation posts above. Once it is within the range, it will conduct a long-range coverage strike there.

In some special locations, especially on the only way to the Dashun garrison, multiple fortresses were built that were deliberately covered up, and several large-caliber heavy cannons were placed at each location.

These places have never been exposed before. This time, if the carriers of the relics break through the heavy interceptions ahead and pass through the pre-marked road sections, they will bombard them there without hesitation.

Chen Chuan has now rushed out of the unknown area and arrived on the plain. In fact, this area is still dotted with large and small woodlands and rivers. The terrain is also undulating, and it is not endless and unobstructed.

But strictly speaking, although this land is no longer an unidentified area on the map, except for some fixed paths that have been explored, large areas of the land are actually still extremely dangerous.

If he kept running day and night according to the path in front of him, he would be able to return in two days and one night at most.

At this moment, as if very suddenly, the sky suddenly darkened, and it entered night in an instant. However, blocked by the glow of the leftover objects, he did not encounter any abnormal situation.

He had already given his mount a rest while describing the ceremony, so he had no intention of stopping at this moment and continued to gallop forward.

About two hours later, the sound of propeller blades was heard above, and an airship appeared there. The light of the airship shone directly from above. Although there was a glow on the leftover object, the part that fell on the ground was not very bright.

Only a faint halo of light can make out the figures of humans and horses.

The telegram on the airship immediately sent a message to the back: "We are close to the target. It is moving from the 38th square in area B to the 56th direction in area C. The current speed is between the second and third levels of Mao.

.”

There was an artillery position nearby. Although it was impossible to see Chen Chuan's location directly due to the terrain, a round of artillery fire was immediately launched there based on the regional coordinates and the point where the light was released by the airship.

Chen Chuan seemed to feel something at this moment. When he looked up, he saw a ball of fire exploding not far away, and then another ball. Then there were bright lights far and near, and he heard one after another explosions in his ears.

.

But he remained unmoved. With his strength and his second self, as long as he was not directly hit by the shells, there was no big threat to him.

And in such a vast area, the probability of being directly hit is too small. Even if it does happen to be encountered, the spirit will warn you in advance, and you will have time to avoid it.

On the contrary, horses are most likely to cause problems in this situation, but fortunately, dragon-nosed horses are alienated creatures and were bred to survive on the battlefield. When they suddenly heard the artillery fire, they did not panic at all and continued to run at a galloping speed.

Even if occasionally flying shrapnel and broken pieces of grass stalks and mud flew onto the horse's body, it relied on its tough outer skin to resist it.

Chen Chuan looked at it carefully and realized that the shell was not intended to kill him directly, but was intended to intercept and force him to take a detour. If there was no place where the shell could land, there would probably be a bigger trap waiting for him.

So the surroundings may seem dangerous at the moment, but actually they are safer.

But he couldn't really be careless. He thought for a while, leaned down, and shook the reins repeatedly. The dragon's nose under him noticed his intention, and his four hooves sped up, and the speed suddenly increased.

But as a result, the packhorses behind him couldn't keep up.

However, he just threw these horses away. He now has all the important things with him, and there are leftovers. He does not need to consider the night, tents and other related objects, as well as small field creatures.

, thunderbolts and other things can all be thrown away.

As for Chaoming, it was better to let it hang far behind, as long as it was within the scope of the glow. In the vast blending land, no one would pay attention to a slightly strange bird lizard.

While galloping, he suddenly saw a low forest land in front of him. It looked quite large and seemed to be a good place to avoid shelling. However, he did not penetrate into it. Instead, he pulled the reins and went around it.

.

Inside, dozens of machine guns were arranged at different positions. If Chen Chuan came here, even if he was just close, they would shoot immediately. However, they had no choice but to go around so decisively.

In order not to be seen through at a glance, the terrain where this machine gun position is located is not high, and the shooting distance cannot be too far. Even if you fire at this moment, you can't hit it, so you can only watch Chen Chuan leave.

But although they were avoided here, the offensive in other places did not stop. Except for the rumbling sound of cannons from behind, there was a roaring sound in the woods on both sides, and large groups of alienated birds swarmed towards Chen Chuan's location.

Chen Chuan's eyes flashed slightly. If he didn't need to attract the fighter and try to save a certain amount of physical strength, he would have let go of his speed and run. But now he still needs to persist, so he raised his eyes and looked at the flying birds coming over.

Release your spiritual power outward!

At this moment, the flock of birds that had gathered around seemed to be frozen for a moment, and then they all fell from the sky.

At the rear, the military commanders on the positions were observing the glow with binoculars. When they saw this scene, they all gasped, and then they were even more shocked after seeing the data reported by the observers.

Observers speculated from the range under the bird colony that Chen Chuan's mental power spread to an astonishing range of more than 700 meters. Considering that this man was still running at the moment, he would definitely try to save his energy, so this may not be his full strength.

.

All the knowledgeable military officers present looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. This is because the range of the mental impact of a powerful fighter is only three to four hundred meters, and if it reaches more than five hundred meters, it is enough to dominate the world.

It has a place, and this seven hundred meters... this is simply another level.

It's no wonder that this person can become the final winner of seizing the relics.

This made them a little lucky. They heard that almost none of the elite raiding teams could come back. It was probably the person in front of them who did it. But just because they were not good enough, they were not selected before, and now there is no need to go close.

Fighting with it.

At almost the same moment, the movement on the blending ground was also transmitted to the rear station and Dashun Defense Department through the internal line.

On the field screen of the Ministry of Defense, the communications officer of the command office said excitedly: "Commissioner Liang, news came from our internal line in the old imperial palace, confirming that it was Director Chen who broke through the siege with the leftovers! At this moment, he

It’s rushing towards our station!”

After Commissioner Liang heard the news, although he was calm on the surface, he was not calm in his heart. He knew very well how difficult it was to seize the leftovers this time, but even so, he did not expect that he would still take the things in his hands.

He asked in a deep voice: "Where are the others? Where are Lao Xu and the others? Is there any news?"

The communications officer said with some regret: "We haven't heard any news about Captain Xu and the others so far."

Commissioner Liang was silent for a moment and then said: "No matter what, we cannot let the relics fall into the hands of the old imperial family."

He immediately told the communications officer, "In my name, a meeting of military supervisors at the station command level will be convened immediately. Everyone must be present within five minutes."

The communications officer saluted solemnly and said yes loudly.

In less than three minutes, all frontline commanders appeared in front of the screen.

Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: "You should already understand the situation. Now I need you to come up with a plan to ensure that the leftovers are received, but I request that the safety of the escorts must also be ensured at the same time!"

After a moment of pause, a commander responded: "I think we should move the army forward immediately after dawn and make an attack to provide cover for Director Chen's return.

It's just that there are troops from the old imperial family confronting us in front of us. We can't go around them to do these things. We can only divide our troops. In this way, there may be an empty space behind the garrison. Commissioner, for the sake of safety, we need to mobilize again from the central city garrison.

An army is coming."

Other officers also agreed with this statement. After having been in confrontation with the old imperial family for so long, they all understood that there was no need to use surprise troops. They could only fight with more troops and fewer troops. Only by having twice the strength of the opponent's troops could they defeat the enemy.

When Commissioner Liang was about to answer, suddenly there was a prompt, and then the female assistant's voice sounded: "Commissioner, there is a special commissioner from the headquarters, saying that he has urgent official business, and he needs to meet with you now."

Commissioner Liang was startled, at this time... But he thought about it and seemed to realize something, so he paused the meeting, walked out, and went to the reception room.

Here came a man of medium height with glasses and an ordinary face. When the latter saw him, he saluted him, then took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to him with both hands.

He said in a solemn voice: "Hello, Commissioner Liang, this is a fax given to you by the headquarters. Please take a look at it."

Commissioner Liang took it. After picking up the document and looking at it for a few times, a strange look appeared in his eyes. After a while, he took a breath and nodded to the commissioner, "I already know that there are important matters at present.

If you want to deal with it, I'll excuse you for a while."

He called the female assistant to greet the special correspondent on his behalf, and returned to the conference room. However, at this time, he could find that his steps were particularly steady and powerful.

He raised his head and faced the commanders and said: "I will mobilize the troops later. This time is of great importance. I will give you all the permissions allowed by the Ministry of Defense. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the escorts, you can let go."

beat."
