Chapter 719 Detour

After Counselor Pei finished speaking, he stood quietly aside and did not offer any suggestions. This time they were only providing necessary information. As for what to do, it all depended on Chen Chuan's own choice.

Chen Chuan stared at the map for a while before asking, "Do you have any information about the camp across the way?"

Counselor Pei shook his head and said, "The garrison has conducted several reconnaissance missions, but they were intercepted at a distance each time, resulting in numerous casualties. However, they haven't given up and are still working hard to this day. If I have any news later, I'll inform Director Chen immediately."

Chen Chuan nodded, "I almost understand the situation. Let's go back first."

Counselor Pei said yes and then said, "I'll take Manager Chen to look at some more things."

As the two men walked out, Counselor Pei glanced outside the corridor and said, "Nights in the Blending Land are always difficult to endure. The old imperial family took advantage of this to attack us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so passive."

Chen Chuan glanced outside. It was daytime outside when he first entered the operations room, but in the blink of an eye, it was plunged into darkness.

How to survive in the wild at night is also what he needs to face. Fortunately, after inheriting some of Chen Bitong's memory experience, he has made sufficient plans.

This time, Counselor Pei led Chen Chuan out of the main building. Under the illumination of searchlights, they walked across an open space and came to the airship berth behind the fortress. Two small airships were parked in the square. He said, "This is the Heron. A group of people will be sent to support the camp at five o'clock tomorrow. If Director Chen wants to go there, he can take these two airships."

Chen Chuan said decisively: "I will leave tomorrow."

Counselor Pei said, "Okay, considering the vastness of that unknown area, Director Chen, we'll notify the people here to prepare some means of transportation for you. Here..."

Chen Chuan followed him to the side, turned a corner, and saw a stable with several tall and mighty horses inside. The stable had obviously been sprinkled with medicine, and there was no strange smell.

Pei came to one of the black horses, took the reins, patted its neck, and said, "These are all dragon-nosed horses that we have trained and bred ourselves. Although we don't have the special breeding methods of the old imperial family, they are gentle and have plenty of physical strength.

But the best part is that this kind of horse, bred on the Intermingling Land, is just like the creatures here and can survive in the wild at night, so you can take them with you without worry."

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that all of these horses were about two meters tall at the shoulder, with well-developed muscles and agile bodies. They were indeed good, and he couldn't help but nod his head.

Counselor Pei pointed to several other horses and said, "Since you need to bring some things with you, Director Chen, we have also prepared two pack horses for you. They are more than enough to carry everything you need, even if they are a little slower."

Chen Chuan could tell at a glance that these pack horses had excellent endurance, so it didn't matter if they were a little slower. To be honest, these horses were simply a means of transportation for him. If they really ran, even the dragon-nosed horses would not be fast enough compared to him.

He said, "It's hard to believe that Counselor Pei has considered everything so thoroughly. Thank you."

Counselor Pei waved his hand and said, "These are all trivial matters. Those fighting on the front lines are risking their lives. I hope this will be helpful to Manager Chen."

Chen Chuan said seriously, "These things are very useful." He walked forward and patted the horse. The latter lowered its head obediently and stood still obediently.

Counselor Pei said, "Then I will arrange the horses to the airship later. The Heron will depart at five o'clock tomorrow morning. Manager Chen, you should go to bed early." After saying that, he saluted Chen Chuan, then turned and walked towards the airship berth.

Chen Chuan didn't stay outside for too long. After getting familiar with the horses, he returned to his temporary dormitory at the base.

He first washed up, then made a cup of hot drink and sat down on a soft chair. He clicked on the Netherworld Passport and pulled out a map from it.

This is Chen Bitong's map. Scattered red, green, and even a few gray dots surround and within the uncharted area. These are mostly gathering places for indigenous people. Red dots indicate unfriendly behavior, while green ones indicate contact is possible. Gray ones indicate an unclear attitude; their stance depends on the specific situation.

Among these maps, there are several winding curves, which are the paths that Chen Bitong explored.

Of course, the so-called ability to pass through is only for people at Chen Bitong's level. The wilderness of the fusion land is full of unpredictable dangers and unknown creatures. No ordinary third-level fighter dares to guarantee that they can pass through there safely.

He moved his gaze to the current location of the Linax Federation's camp. On Chen Bitong's map, it should have been a very large gathering place for indigenous people. The two families must have killed or expelled these people and occupied this place.

However, they certainly would not set up just one camp. Even the garrison fortress would be surrounded by dense outposts, trenches and even permanent fortifications.

It can be imagined that there must be fortifications and small outposts outside the camp. If you break in along that road, you will probably need to kill your way through these fortifications one by one. Even if you can do it, by the time you get there, the other side will have already prepared for it.

So he planned to take a detour this time, and use a small path to go back to the weak point on the side and rear of the camp to launch a surprise attack. As long as he took down this camp, he would cut off the supply and retreat of the team that went deep into the unknown area, and it would be relatively easy to deal with it later.

After making up his mind, he didn't think about it anymore. He drank the hot drink in his hand in one gulp, stood up and went to the training room next door, sat down and adjusted his breathing.

After a night's rest, it was 4:30 in the morning of the next day.

After Chen Chuan washed and tidied himself up, he took the Xuejun Knife, called Chao Ming, and walked out carrying the box.

Counselor Pei was already waiting in front of the airship dock. When Chen Chuan came over, he reached out and shook hands with him.

"Director Chen, three horses have been arranged in the lower cabin of the airship. If you don't plan to go to our camp first and need to get off midway, just tell the captain and he will let you down. Finally, I wish you a successful trip."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Thank you."

Counselor Pei let go of his hand, took a step back and saluted him.

Chen Chuan returned the salute, then turned around and walked up the stairs into the airship. Once inside, he glanced around and saw two teams of twelve soldiers sitting there. Each of them had obvious armed implants. These two teams were going to support the camp ahead. In addition to the two teams here, there were four similar teams on the other airship.

He was only wearing casual clothes this time, not his supervisor's uniform, so when the soldiers saw him, they just sat there without moving. He chose a secluded place to sit down and put the Xuejun Knife aside.

After waiting for a while, two airships rose from the fortress one after another, and flew into the distance with the sound of propellers turning.

Chen Chuan sat there alone, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, while Chao Ming stayed there very obediently.

One of the team members looked at Chen Chuan and nudged his companion with his toe. The latter was dozing off and, sensing the movement, looked over in surprise. The man gestured in Chen Chuan's direction and whispered, "Is that a fighter?"

"Of course."

Another team member glanced at Xue Jun's sword and whispered, "No one can wield such a long sword."

The man in front said, "I heard the fighting was very intense up ahead, and the old imperial family sent out many warriors. Isn't it a little insufficient for him to support them alone?"

The team member said, "This is not something we should worry about. Let's take this time to rest. Once we get there, we won't have much chance."

The airship cabin fell silent again.

Several hours later, Chen Chuan suddenly opened his eyes. He clicked on the netherworld pass, which roughly showed their current location on the map based on the terrain, and the passage he was going to take was not far ahead.

So he passed a message to the captain and sent him the location coordinates.

After a while, two servicemen came over from the boat and pushed open the rear hatch with force. Suddenly, a gust of air rushed in. The cold and moist air immediately woke up everyone in the cabin.

What is this for?

Chen Chuan picked up the Xuejun Knife and stood up. He gently patted Chaoming's head, and Chaoming immediately flapped his wings and flew out. He picked up the box beside him and walked to the platform without guardrails at the back.

At this time, the speed of the airship had gradually slowed down and was lowering its altitude. He first pushed the box onto the ground, then leaped down.

The soldiers in the cabin were all shocked, because they were now at least one or two hundred meters above the ground. Jumping from this height... were they serious?

Chen Chuan fell down, looking at the ground below, with the whistling of air in his ears and his red scarf fluttering behind him. He looked very calm.

He had originally planned to face the impact directly, but this time when he was about to land, a force suddenly came from the flying red scarf, and his body suddenly became lighter. After his feet landed on the ground, he did not feel much impact.

He glanced at the fluttering scarf and said, "Hongfu, thank you."

Then he looked in the direction of Chao Ming, who had found the box he had just thrown down. He looked around and saw that there were no unexpected situations around and it was relatively safe, so he walked to the box, grabbed the strap, reached out and lifted it out of the mud.

He turned around and gestured to the airship, which gradually lowered itself and opened the hatch below. Then the three horses, standing on the flat slings, were slowly lowered.

After landing on the ground, he walked over, untied the safety rope on the horse, let it outside, and then made a gesture upwards. The airship door closed and it slowly rose into the air again.

Chen Chuan turned around, took out the things in the box, and hung them on the backs of two pack horses.

After finishing all these, he turned over and rode on the black dragon-nosed horse. He glanced at the turbulent river and dense woodland in the distance. At this time, a chirping sound was heard in the sky, and Chao Ming had already flown out first.

He withdrew his gaze, shook the reins, and the dragon-nosed horse under him immediately spread its four hooves and ran forward.
