Chapter 760: Breaking Back
Chen Chuan rode his horse. The horse was not slow, and it could run through mountains and rivers as if it were walking on flat ground. It also had great endurance and almost did not need to stop to eat.
And perhaps because they had taken the same medicine, many creatures in the fusion land would not attack them while they were running. No wonder the old imperial family had a preference for it.
Although the Dashun military had trained some and he had ridden one when he came here, it was far inferior to this one. He could feel that the key might be the drugs.
This is the advantage of the old imperial family.
But if he thought about it, without these home turf advantages, they would have been wiped out by Dashun long ago. However, he also thought that many of the reasons should come from within Dashun.
If there weren't so many companies and internal and external forces involved with the old imperial family in the Interfusion Land, the current confrontation situation probably wouldn't have occurred.
This situation involves deeper interests and struggles, and it cannot be easily resolved.
He spared no effort in his pursuit and finally ran into the range of the abandoned objects' glow before nightfall. In this way, he could advance outward at night without having to stop and set up camp.
Now he is still some distance away from Xu Chan, and seeing that the place where the rosy light is falling is still maintaining its moving speed, it means that there is no problem with Xu Chan for the time being.
However, although the pursuit from behind has been resolved, we still need to be wary of attacks from the front and sides.
From what Xue Shou told him, the old imperial family had deployed troops in every direction. Even the Dashun camp responsible for the support, which was located on the edge of the unknown area, was also being watched by a large number of troops. So no matter which direction they chose to break through, they would encounter the intruders head-on.
He urged on the horse again, gradually approaching where Xu Chan was. At this moment, he suddenly saw an airship flying towards him from a high altitude on one side.
Judging from its direction, it was heading towards Xu Chan, and it was very likely that it was carrying elite personnel.
Fortunately, part of the old imperial family's army is currently confronting the Dashun garrison in the rear, and another part is needed to maintain suppression of their camp. It is impossible to call on multiple airships at once to attack them from multiple directions, otherwise it would be a troublesome matter.
At this moment, he discovered that the rays of light in front of him were moving slower. Although it looked inconspicuous, it was immediately noticed.
There is no doubt that Xu Chan encountered enemy obstruction, and this airship came at this time, probably intending to attack the people blocking him from the front from the front.
After seeing this, he reached out and pressed on the side of the dragon-nosed horse's neck, slightly stimulating the alienated tissue in its body. Immediately, the horse's eyes turned blood red, and its four hooves quickened again.
At this moment, in the Dashun camp located on the edge of the unknown area, the military personnel in the camp saw the rays of light moving towards them.
They judged that it was likely that their people had taken the lost items, otherwise they would not have chosen to take this route.
One officer said, "The glow is so clear, the old imperial army will probably try to stop us. I suggest we send a team up to meet them."
But someone objected: "We're already struggling to even guard the camp, how many people can we spare? The old imperial family is waiting for us outside. Even if we send anyone out, I'm afraid they'll just be sending themselves to their deaths."
"We are here to receive the delivery of the lost items. If we do nothing, what's the point of staying here?"
"No, we are still useful here."
An officer in a smock spoke up. He said in a deep voice, "At least we've held back a portion of the army. The exact situation isn't clear yet. All we need to do is report back. Unless the team recovering the lost items has reached us, I won't send a single soldier outside without orders from above."
The person who spoke was the highest military commander of the camp. Since he said so, everyone had no choice but to wait for the telegram from the rear base.
In the unknown area, as the airship from the old imperial family caught up with the sunset glow, it gradually lowered its altitude, and then ropes dropped down one by one.
Then one by one, they climbed down the rope. When they were still some distance from the ground, they jumped down one after another. Their heavy bodies carrying various equipment fell to the ground and quickly gathered into a formation.
Each of them was covered with a thick layer of white armor. They were extremely tall, about two meters and five inches tall. They carried two hand-held cannons on their arms and two throwing axes on their waists. There were also several ferocious beasts that looked like leopards and tigers following them. When they landed on the ground, their limbs were light and almost silent.
This is the tamed red-haired leopard, a creature from the fusion land. These creatures have a keen sense of smell, quick movements, and are born with alienated organizations. Even the pioneering team sent by Dashun has to deal with them with caution.
Now, after being domesticated, cultivated and trained in various ways, they are stronger than those raised in the wild because they absorb more comprehensive nutrition and have stronger physiques.
They belonged to the Baima Army of the old imperial family. This army was composed entirely of fighters, all of whom were elites drawn from various fiefdoms by the imperial family. Now, everyone who appeared here was a fighter of the third level, and there were twelve people in total.
Further ahead, there is another team belonging to the Teng Snake Army responsible for blocking the carriers of the lost items.
It was a fast-moving squad known for its speed. They could use various long-range weapons including guns, bows and crossbows, javelins, etc. They were good at harassment and interception, which could delay the person carrying the lost items so that they could calmly encircle them from behind.
According to their prior plan, another elite cavalry led by an auxiliary general was rushing over and would be arriving at about this time.
By then, the combined efforts of the three parties will be enough to capture the person.
But they didn't know at the moment that the troops in the rear had been wiped out and could not wait any longer. The plan of three parties joining forces to encircle them would never be realized.
Chen Chuan ran straight towards the direction of the airship. After accelerating, he soon arrived at the side and rear of the team. The rumbling sound of horse hooves could no longer be covered up.
Although the Baimao team's target was in the front, they did not ignore the rear, and the momentum coming from Chen was very shocking. At first they thought it was the cavalry coming to join them, but they soon found something wrong, because the speed of the cavalry not only did not slow down, but was gradually accelerating.
They were arranged in teams of six, more than five meters apart, standing in two rows horizontally. Both rows were slightly tilted. Each team member inserted their forearms into the hand cannons on both sides, raised them together, and pointed the muzzles in the direction of the incoming people.
Chen Chuan's figure soon appeared in their sight. They did not take action at first, but waited until he got within a hundred meters before pulling the trigger at the same time.
With a loud bang, a cloud of white smoke emerged from the muzzles, shocking even their strong bodies.
Countless shotgun shells shot out from the muzzle in an instant, covering the entire space in front.
Chen Chuan stared ahead. At that moment, the world slowed down. He did not engage in a head-on collision with these people. Instead, he abandoned his horse and moved to the side. In an instant, he appeared on the side of one of the groups of people. At this time, fireworks had just spewed out of the muzzle of the gun.
He lowered his body, as if he was about to sprint, staring at the line of people, then suddenly stepped forward, and a circle of air exploded around him in an instant, and the entire row of people were knocked high into the air by his high-speed collision, each of them had a twisted limb, and the armor and various objects on their bodies exploded one by one.
What surprised him a little was that when he rushed to the other end, he smelled a fishy smell behind him. The red-haired leopard actually kept up with his speed, and spread its four claws and leaped towards him.
But it can only be used against ordinary people. After he possesses the power of spiritual perception, these creatures in the Fusion Land can hardly pose much threat to him unless they are large or in groups.
He stepped on the ground, and a big pit exploded under him instantly. He stopped there, and then watched the red-haired leopard pass by in front of him. Xue Jundao just held it diagonally with his backhand and cut it in half from the side.
At this time, the other six-man team finally reacted and immediately threw a row of flying axes at him.
Chen Chuan just flicked his sword, and the axe that rushed forward exploded directly under the impact of Xue Jun's sword. At the same time, he held the sword in front of him and jumped forward. Behind him, where the flying axe flew, the rows of trees exploded one by one and fell down in rows like a passing cannonball.
The six-man team was well-trained. After throwing the flying axes, they immediately spread out in a semicircle, took off the spears they carried from their backs, and raised them in front of them.
While they were making these moves, Chen Chuan had already arrived in front of them and slashed at each of them!
Because the speed was so fast, it seemed as if multiple of his figures appeared on the field in an instant.
When his body stopped, he maintained a posture with his sword in front of him. The six people behind him just froze in place for a moment and fell to the ground one by one.
It can be seen that each of their heads was split open with incredible precision, and the alienated brains inside were also chopped apart.
In just a short moment, he had wiped out the entire team.
He swung the knife to the side, stood up straight, and looked upward with a cold gaze. At this moment, the airship high in the sky had not yet completely flown away, and it also saw the same scene.
The people above all felt a chill in their hearts. The person in charge choked and immediately ordered, "Quick, send a telegram to General Wei and inform him of the situation here, and..."
He glanced at the dragon-nosed horse that had been destroyed by the hand cannon, and said in a trembling voice, "We have spotted a 'Moon Chaser' that appears to be the one Wei Fuji is riding. Please confirm the situation of the cavalry in the rear and tell them that the enemy is extremely fierce and we may not be able to fight them..."
