Chapter 1025: The Fog Revealed
A few hours later, several black spots appeared in the distant sky, accompanied by the sound of propeller blades, and two airships were gradually coming towards Jiaoshan.
But after a while, another airship appeared in the east, and the logo of Ocean Development Group could be seen on the airship.
The villagers on Jiaoshan also saw this scene from afar. They knew about airships, but had never seen one before. Many of them came forward to see the wonder.
The village leader felt a sense of threat and felt a little panic in his heart.
They felt something was wrong when the processing bureau built various stations and facilities at the foot of the mountain earlier, but they could still bully others on the mountain and there was no way they could fight against the fully armed military personnel and fighters at the foot of the mountain. They could only watch as the various facilities were built bit by bit below.
This time, when the airship appeared, they didn't know what the Yangzhi Municipal Government was going to do, so they sent their cronies to beat and scold the villagers, not allowing them to watch anymore, and drove everyone into the pit.
Although they couldn't deal with the airship, they felt that as long as they could hide in the mountains and tunnels, Yang Zhi's people would be unable to do anything to them.
The two airships gradually approached. Xu Chan waited for Mr. Zhuan to jump off the airship first, and then he landed on the ground. Both of them walked towards Chen Chuan.
At this moment, they all couldn't help but look at Zarnik and the other man standing behind Chen Chuan. They had never seen these two people before. They didn't look like fighters from Dashun, and they had a wildness that was different from today's fighters.
When Zarnik and the other man saw fighters arriving one after another, they were not afraid, but their blood boiled because they felt that they might be facing a big battle.
They are people who make a living by fighting. Fighting against the strong on the battlefield is the meaning of their existence and the goal they pursue. The stronger the enemy, the more it can inspire their fighting spirit.
Mr. Zhuan and Mr. Mask looked at Chen Chuan again. They hadn't seen Chen Chuan for half a year. When they met him again this time, they always felt that the latter was a little different from before. He was just standing there, and there was no field spirit emanating from his body, but he made them feel an indescribable pressure.
This may be because Chen Chuan has made great progress in his practice over the past six months, or perhaps it is because of a little bit of "Xuankong Fire"?
As for the other possibility, they didn't think about it because there was a consciousness in their instinct that denied this answer.
The three of them walked to the front and greeted Chen Chuan. At this time, the other airship also approached. They saw a figure jumping down from a high place and crashing to the ground with a thud. Suddenly, smoke and dust rose up, and there was a burst of wild laughter, "Caught up, caught up", and then everyone saw a bald man walking out of it.
Hu Kan glanced at Chen Chuan, then glanced around, his eyes widened, and he rubbed his forehead, "Wow, what a grand scene."
When he came, the company only asked him to cooperate with the operation. He thought it was another tough fighter to deal with, but he didn't expect so many fighters to be present. This lineup is enough to fight a war to annihilate a country.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, wondering which force was so lucky to be worthy of so many people serving them together.
He walked closer and said to Chen Chuan, "Brother Chen, with so many colleagues here this time, it seems like you are honoring me."
Chen Chuan said: "This time the opponent is unusual. With Brother Hu coming, we have more confidence."
As he spoke, he clicked on the Netherworld Pass and sent him some information.
"Thank you all for coming here. Let me explain the situation. According to interrogations and internal intelligence, the old imperial family has likely assembled a large army on the other side, with several high-ranking generals participating. The leader of this army is most likely General Su Kuo of the old imperial family who conquered the East."
"General Zhengdong?"
Everyone present was filled with awe when they heard this title. In the old imperial family, the hierarchy was strict and the distinction between superiors and inferiors was clear. The position of a military general itself directly indicated the level of military power, so there was no need to say much about this person's strength.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "The old imperial family was unable to gather too many high-level forces due to the constraints of the various integration areas. What they brought out this time should have been the limit of what they could mobilize internally.
If this force is annihilated, it will be enough to severely damage the old imperial family, so I decided not to wait for them to arrive, but to tear open the rift first, then rush in and finish them off."
He looked at everyone and said, "I have already reported the plan to the Government Affairs Office. Before we launch our attack, we will launch a coordinated attack from Shannan Road, forcing them to have difficulty in taking care of both fronts.
As for General Su Kuo, the Eastern Expeditionary General..."
He paused, "Leave it to me. I'll contain him. Please quickly eliminate the high-ranking military officers who are cooperating with him, and try to disrupt the surrounding secret ceremonies."
There must be various secret rituals in the army that can help the fighters stationed there, but that is when there is no obvious gap in strength between the two sides. If one side invests enough strength, then this advantage can be easily wiped out.
Xu Chan was the first to express his opinion, saying solemnly, "Director, Xu Chan obeys your orders."
Mr. Zhuan nodded and said, "Officer Chen, Lao Tang and I will cooperate with you this time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Hu won't hold you back."
Zarnik and the other man didn't know what they were talking about, but they could sense the atmosphere. They both pounded their chests and let out a loud roar.
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Then everyone, get ready. We'll set off in ten minutes."
Ten minutes later, Chen Chuan and others were ready and went up the mountain immediately. However, the people from the processing bureau had already taken action first and sent people to the mountain to control some important roads and clear some traps and roadblocks. At the same time, they used loudspeakers to inform the villagers that it was only a temporary requisition and not to go out at will. As for the losses caused, they would be compensated later.
In order to prevent some hostile saboteurs and some dishonest villagers, combat airships also came up to intimidate everywhere. Most of the villagers had already hidden themselves under the control of the village leaders, and no one showed up outside.
After a while, everyone arrived at the entrance to the secret treasure. Cheng Shang, Lan Shen Gu and others were waiting there. When they saw Chen Chuan and others, they instinctively felt difficulty breathing and mental depression. After seeing this, Mr. Mask took the initiative to release a spiritual power, which made them feel a little better.
Chen Chuan asked, "Senior Cheng, Advisor Lan, how is the situation?"
Cheng Shang glanced at Lan Shen Gu, who stepped forward and said, "Director Chen, the enemy leader destroyed the key lock before he was killed. Although we have discovered the rift, we still need to make some arrangements for the secret instrument to control it. We are working hard to deal with it."
Chen Chuan asked, "How long will it take?"
Lan Shenggu said, "With the current manpower, it will probably take a day, but if we can occupy some areas, we might be able to speed it up, but there may be some dangers there."
Cheng Shang said, "I've been to those places and I feel powerless just by approaching them. No one is immune."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Lan Shen Gu immediately turned around and led the way. They followed him into the secret treasure and found that it was a huge temple. They all rushed in together and didn't feel crowded at all.
After walking for a while, Cheng Shang stopped and said, "That's the boundary ahead. If you get too close, you won't be able to get through and will just feel exhausted."
Everyone looked over and saw that the front was shrouded in thick fog and they couldn't see anything.
Mr. Zhuan took a look and saw a bright light flashing on the mask he was wearing. The layer of smoke was quickly dispelled like the wind. After it was gone, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a dense mass of skeletons, at least thousands of them. This scene was really unexpected.
Lan Shen Gu calmly considered the situation and said, "Secret treasures sometimes open on their own. These are probably all people who accidentally stumbled into the secret treasure in the past."
Someone with sharp eyes said, "Look, there's a gun!"
He Fen went forward and picked up a gun, identified it, and said, "Morning Star type, a firearm of the old imperial family." He glanced down and said:
"I remember when we overthrew the old imperial family, a new imperial army of more than 2,000 people retreated here. We also had a group of people chasing them, but then they all disappeared. We searched for them several times but couldn't find them. Perhaps it was them?"
"Look at this."
A member of the processing bureau seemed to have seen something else. He went up to look for it and said in surprise, "It looks like a flag."
The flag was covered in dust. A corner of it was picked up, and the dust flew everywhere. The member of the processing bureau waved it twice, dragged it a few times, and said in surprise, "This flag is huge."
When Cheng Shang saw it, his eyes suddenly moved. He hurried forward a few steps, then picked up the other corner of the flag, brushed it with his hand to wipe off some of the dust, and then slowly spread out the flag until it was completely displayed in front of everyone. He saw eight words appear on it: "Help the world and punish the tyrannical court"!
He suddenly became excited: "This is the flag of the First Expeditionary Army!"
Everyone present had studied history and knew that among the many rebel forces that overthrew the old imperial family, the first to stand up were a group of folk martial artists, and they shouted the first slogan of overthrowing the imperial court.
Cheng Shang's voice trembled. "Back then, my old grandfather held banners like this and faced the armored cavalry of the former imperial family with hammers and axes."
When He Fen heard this, he asked, "Old Advisor, is this the Battle of Shenyuan Valley?"
Cheng Shang nodded and said, "Yes."
After hearing this, everyone present could not help but stand in awe.
In the Battle of Shenyuan Valley, the three thousand elite cavalry of the imperial family were annihilated in this valley by seven thousand folk martial artists gathered from all over the place.
Although these martial artists also suffered more than half casualties, this battle greatly inspired the morale of the various rebel forces that were resisting the imperial court in various places at that time. This led to thousands of people risking their lives, one after another, and staining the mountains and rivers with blood to overthrow the imperial family. Therefore, this army was awarded the title of "First Expeditionary Army" after the founding of the country.
Many members of the processing bureau present looked at the flag, as if they could hear the shouts and the sounds of fighting on the battlefield that day. Their eyes were burning and their blood was boiling.
Cheng Shang said: "There were two flags at the time. One of them is now in the National Museum of China. I don't know where the other one went, but it ended up here."
Everyone stepped forward to help and stood the flag upright. They found that it was about 17 or 18 meters high. The pole was as thick as a tree. It was made entirely of iron, gold and wood from the fusion land. It was extremely heavy. It was not something that ordinary people could lift at that time.
Chen Chuanqi looked up at the flag and said, "Since we are still facing the old imperial family this time, let's take it with us."
Hu Kan said, "I'll carry it." He stepped forward, grabbed the flagpole, and carried it on his shoulder.
