Chapter 441 Cleaning Up
Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque confirmed that their opponents were silent, and then they felt relieved. They looked up at Chen Chuan together.
He was seen walking slowly towards them, holding a long sword, with an iron-faced head hanging on his waist. Wisps of white steam were rising from his body. Although he did not deliberately release a biological field, an invisible oppressive force emanated from him.
Yuan Qiyuan swallowed hard, tried to calm his breathing, looked at the head again and again, and couldn't help but say, "Captain, is it solved?"
Chen Chuan walked up to the two of them, nodded, and said, "It's resolved, but there are still some follow-up measures to be taken care of."
Yuan Qiyuan came up and clicked his tongue twice, "This is the Iron Demon. The people in the garrison are terrified of it. And the aura just now was so impressive." He reached out and moved the head, "Look, we finally took care of it.
Qin Qingque seriously corrected: "It was the captain who solved it."
"Well, the captain said that we are a small team, and whatever the captain solves, we solve."
"Executor Yuan is right," said Chen Chuanshuo. "We're a small team. Without the two of you helping to hold the Iron Demon back, I wouldn't be able to successfully deal with it."
Yuan Qiyuan straightened his back immediately, but he chuckled again and said, "Captain, whatever you say, I, Old Yuan, know who's truly capable. From now on, I'll obey you, and I won't recognize anyone else."
Qin Qingque didn't say anything, but the expression on his face conveyed the same meaning.
Chen Chuan smiled and then reminded them: "Pay attention to your activity index."
After all, this is the wilderness, and there is no connection to the base. If they are far apart, they will not be able to see each other's activity index. Now that they are closer, they find that both of them have reached more than 20, but fortunately they did not cross the warning line. This should be the result of their conscious control.
Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque were startled, and both said yes. They had been on high alert during the battle, but now that they relaxed, they noticed the index was rising again. They hurriedly practiced their breathing techniques to slowly bring it back down.
At this time, they couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan's value, and found that it was still "zero", and they admired him even more.
They knew that it would be okay if the index dropped, but the more they pushed it down, the harder it would be. Chen Chuan had just been fighting against the Iron Demon, and the pressure was much higher than theirs. It had only been a few minutes since the end of the battle, and the index had dropped to zero in such a short time. This kind of self-restraint and ability to control the body was truly amazing.
At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly noticed something, and Yuan and Qin also discovered it. The three of them looked back together and saw that the remaining cavalry soldiers had all gathered together, and now they were facing this side to organize their formation, and soon they took a charging posture.
Yuan Qiyuan was a little puzzled. "What do they want to do? Do they want to use these people to attack us?"
A group of second-level cavalrymen wanted to deal with these three third-level fighters. Are they seeking death? Are these subordinates of the Iron Demon so loyal to this person?
Qin Qingque observed for a while, thought for a moment, and then said to Chen Chuan: "Captain, their front row is blocking the back, but I saw that they seem to have grappling hooks. They may not be using them against us, but to reclaim the body on the ground."
"We can't give it back to them. This is our spoils of war."
Yuan Qiyuan yelled and immediately ran towards the SUV. When he reached the side of the vehicle, he stretched out his hand, jumped over from the top, and then grabbed the machine gun. "Captain, leave this little thing to us. You should also give us a chance to show our ability."
Chen Chuan said: "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, look at me. I've been trained."
Qin Qingque said, "I'll drive." She quickly got in the car, and soon the off-road vehicle started and drove towards the cavalry team in front.
When the other side saw them driving the car up, their formation seemed to be slightly scattered, but they quickly adjusted it and drove their horses forward.
Chen Chuan shook his head. This group of people probably knew what the consequences would be if they faced a machine gun charge. Even the armored implanted horses could not withstand the heavy machine gun fire.
However, these people probably had no choice. According to the military tradition of the imperial family, if the superior died, all the personal guards would be beheaded. If the body could not be retrieved, the entire team would be held accountable. Not to mention that this team was formed by the Iron Demon himself, so their loyalty was unquestionable.
Soon, the sound of machine gun fire, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of heavy objects falling were heard from the rear, all of which were drowned in the huge cloud of smoke and dust.
Chen Chuan ignored it. He stood on the river bank, hammered his knife on the ground, looked at the flowing water in front of him, and thought about the changes that had just happened to the Iron Demon.
He believed that spiritual and physical perfection should not be like the Iron Demon.
It is true that when they first met, there were almost no shortcomings in their spirit, body, and the use of strength and skills, but in fact these were loose, and as they clashed, it gradually became difficult to coordinate all aspects.
I don’t know if it’s the lack of a force that brings them together, or the existence of that thing in his body that hinders him?
He thought about it and thought it might be a combination of both.
Then I wonder what true perfection is like?
After about half an hour, the noise outside gradually died down, and the off-road vehicle drove back from the rolling dust. As the dust gradually dissipated, what was revealed was debris and blood all over the ground, and the limbs of people and horses could no longer be distinguished.
After the car stopped in front of them, Yuan Qiyuan jumped down from the roof and said, "Captain, we've taken care of everything. But the numbers are a little off."
Qin Qingque came out of the cab and said, "Captain, two teams are heading behind us. They're probably looking for a shallow section of the river so they can outflank us from both sides. They probably haven't arrived yet."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Since we're out chasing them, let's try to clean them up. It doesn't matter if we can't catch them. These people can't escape."
"yes."
The two team members responded together. After this victory, their morale was very high and they became very convinced of Chen Chuan.
But first, we need to dispose of the things here, especially the Iron Demon's corpse, to completely burn it to prevent future troubles.
At the same time, this person and his subordinates' armor, some accompanying documents, jade seals, and important items had to be taken back as proof of their identity.
After everything was sorted out, more than half an hour had passed. Still, there was no sign of the cavalry soldiers who had been sent out. If they hadn't come back, then they had gotten the news and fled. They still had to be pursued.
Chen Chuan looked towards the gradually extinguished fire. Seeing that the things there had completely turned to ashes, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go."
Qin Qingque took a few steps forward, opened the car door for Chen Chuan, and saluted, "Captain, please get in."
Chen Chuan nodded and got into the car. After the car started, he looked at the sky. The battle just now, including the time before and after processing, took about three hours.
He hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly. He had thought beforehand, if the two sides were deadlocked, would the battle drag on into the night?
Although he was not unprepared and had already drawn the ceremony on the coats of his two teammates, the key was the activity index, which had too many variables.
However, judging from the battle situation, the Iron Demon had no such intention at all. He might also be afraid of the night, or he might be eager to decide the outcome and not want to be surrounded.
From this point of view, the intelligence deception created by Advisor Rao was actually very useful and played a key role in promoting the development of the technology. It might even be used to lure out the traitor.
At this time he said, "Executive Qin, did those cavalrymen carry radios with them?"
Qin Qingque replied, "Captain, no, they should have moved ahead of time. But if they knew that the Iron Demon had been killed, they would probably destroy the radio station, making it difficult to trace the source."
Chen Chuan said: "There's no need to force it." This is not their business. It would be best if they could help find clues, but it doesn't matter if they can't. They just need to do their part.
When they followed the traces left by the cavalry and went around to the back, they found that this cavalry team had stayed here before, but had obviously dispersed and retreated again.
After discussing it, they felt that the remaining cavalrymen were no longer a threat, so they stopped chasing them.
Chen Chuan said: "Executive Qin, you can send the message to the rear now. Also, thank Consultant Rao." He knew that intelligence deception was not that simple, and Consultant Rao definitely took the risk.
"Yes, Captain."
In the No. 73 station, Consultant Rao had been waiting in front of the radio station. He was always worried, not only about Chen Chuan and his group, but also about himself.
Just as Chen Chuan guessed, intelligence deception is something that should be used at critical moments. If it doesn't work, he will be held responsible.
At this moment, the telegraph operator looked up and said, "Advisor, there's a telegram."
"Are you coming? Hurry!"
Advisor Rao urged, saying that the telegram meant that the person was fine and it was not the worst outcome.
When the telegraph operator wrote down the code, he didn't need to translate it at all. He just took it and looked at it. His eyes widened at first, then his hands began to tremble, and he could no longer suppress the joy on his face.
But after he looked at it several times, he suddenly felt a little worried, so he sent a message back to confirm. After two calls back and forth, the other party said that they would bring back the iron demon's head and its personal belongings, and then he relaxed.
With a smile on his face, he told the telegraph operator, "Send a message to the command center and tell them..."
Having said that, he slowed down his speech and tried to make his words clear.
"It has been confirmed that at around 10:00 this morning, the Iron Demon and his subordinates encountered our elite attacking squad in the middle reaches of the river section numbered 24."
He paused.
"After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, we successfully beheaded the Iron Demon and two of his dedicated warriors, and annihilated over thirty elite cavalry soldiers, leaving only a dozen or so to escape.
Note: This team is led by Level 1 Executor Chen Chuan, and its members include Yuan Qiyuan, Qin Qingque, and Tactical Advisor Rao Qili, etc...."
He then checked his watch. "Time: November 26th, 2:23 p.m." He looked up and said to the telegraph operator, "Report it like this."
