The 393rd Section of the Earth Joint Action
Chapter 393 of W Land: Joint Action
Night falls.
The bridgehead was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Shi Yan was imprisoned in a cell and could only look out through a small iron window on one side. Thick clouds covered the sky, obscuring the moon. Not a single moonlight leaked out, as if it were a dark curtain.
At this moment, his body was covered with scars, including whip marks, brand marks, knife marks and even holes piercing his body. He looked extremely terrifying.
But when he looked at the darkness outside the iron window, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
It’s a dark and windy night for murder!
Duan Sui'an sneaked in the night like a ghost. After he merged with the spirit beast Shan Mei, he seemed to be an elf in the night, blending into the night. His movements were silent, as if he was walking in another space, and any action he took could not affect this space. Shan Mei was chosen as one of the two main forces because of his dexterity and weirdness, as well as his ability to blend into the surrounding environment. In particular, any action he took would not cause any fluctuations in spiritual power, as if it was nature itself.
When Mo Zixie received the news, he immediately sent people to Jinling City in Tianlong Realm to tell Mo Chou and his party who were carrying out the mission in Jinling, and conveyed Shi Yan's order to them. Due to geographical reasons, they first came to the vicinity of the bridgehead, led by Duan Sui'an, and secretly entered the bridgehead to act as an internal response.
Several people not far behind Duan Sui'an looked at his actions and couldn't help showing admiration on their faces.
Since Xue Yu defeated the Mo Family Fairy Island occupied by Mo Tianbo, the strength of Shi Yan's men has been exposed to everyone. It is said that their strength is shocking. However, that is only word of mouth, and few people have actually seen it. In addition, Shi Yan's men are all of low cultivation. How can they be as shocking as the legend says? There was some dissatisfaction in their hearts, but now that they have seen his ability with their own eyes, they are convinced.
As expected, he is worthy of being Shi Yan’s old subordinate!
Duan Sui'an crouched vigilantly, his slender figure like a shadow, blending into the darkness.
In order to avoid being discovered, the others followed carefully a hundred meters behind.
The sound from the battle fortress bridgehead came from far away, making the surrounding silence even more apparent. His expression suddenly changed and he stopped.
There was a rustling sound, and at the same time, along with the rustling of the grass, there were the voices of two people talking, which immediately made everyone nervous.
Without any greeting, the people behind Duan Sui'an dispersed tacitly and moved forward quietly.
There was a big tree over there, with large rocks everywhere on the side. Duan Sui'an moved and came under the tree. He gently kicked his feet and floated up, then landed on the tree.
The rest of the people scattered behind the rocks around.
Two patrolling soldiers walked over, talking in low voices.
Just as the two were walking under the big tree, they suddenly felt a chill on their necks. Their pupils suddenly dilated, and before they could make any sound, their heads flew off.
Several shadows immediately came under the tree and caught the head and the falling body, then bent over and carefully carried the body to a secluded place and hid it.
At the same time, two people immediately changed their clothes and put on their military uniforms.
Duan Sui'an said nothing and continued walking forward, but he didn't know that the looks of the people behind him had changed.
Stealth assassination is as clean and neat as chopping melons and vegetables. Even if their cultivation is several levels higher than Duan Sui'an, they cannot do it.
Duan Sui'an led the group to leave quickly and continue to sneak towards the bridgehead. They advanced quietly and quickly along a remote road beside the river.
Along the way, they encountered a lot of patrols, because most of them were out searching for Qingtian soldiers, so there were only three or two patrols around the bridgehead, which made it convenient for Duan Sui'an and his team. They occasionally dealt with some patrols and secret sentries along the way, but there were not many people patrolling outside, so the number of patrols and secret sentries they encountered was not too many.
Because the bridgehead is located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by steep cliffs and a river outside the cliffs, the only way to get to the bridgehead is to go through the front and back roads. The front and back roads are two very wide and gentle slopes because they have to ride horses, which makes them very easy to be exposed. Fortunately, they have changed into military uniforms along the way, and because there is no moonlight, it is still difficult to see people's faces clearly with just a burning torch, so they pretended to be a patrol and walked all the way to the bridgehead.
The top of the mountain is flat, with large rocks everywhere. These rocks were originally set up to block the siege, but now they have become an excellent cover for Duan Sui'an and others.
Over the city wall, there is a secluded corner with bright lights in the distance, especially a stone tower behind the main building, which is the cell where Shi Yan is imprisoned.
After sneaking into the bridgehead and seeing the target building, Duan Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief.
With a wave of his hand, everyone dispersed and hid in every corner of the bridgehead.
Rumble! A cavalry came down the mountain. There were about 5,000 cavalrymen on patrol.
The horse team marched into the city in a mighty manner. The unicorn returned to the trough to be fed. Duan Sui'an smiled sinisterly and thought of a clever idea.
But before he could act, another cavalry of only a few hundred people returned. The cavalry did not stop at the outer city parade ground, but went directly into the inner city. At the moment when the inner city gate was closed, Duan Sui'an saw a familiar person tied up on the horse's back. It was the mayor of Dongbai City in Binhaijie, Zhi Chao!
In the Dayu Dragon Boat, Li Tiancheng looked at the people busy working on this luxurious floating boat in surprise. All of them were cultivators, and none of them were Dao creatures. The leader of these cultivators, Mo Zixie, interested him even more. He felt the breath of Dao and the breath of cultivators from Mo Zixie.
Although he was surprised that Big Brother Haotian had so many cultivator slaves, he did not intend to pursue the matter, because his life was saved by Big Brother Haotian.
Mo Zixie was busy with various matters in the Dayu Dragon Boat. He had no good feelings towards these great beings, but since Shi Yan arranged for these people to board the dragon boat, he chose to believe Shi Yan. The map of Huangtian Heaven Realm was input into the Dayu Dragon Boat, and the light screen showed the location of the Dayu Dragon Boat.
"Third Prince, we are now in the Tianlong Realm. We will reach the bridgehead in another half an hour." Mo Zixie came to his side and said, bringing him back to his senses from his surprise.
Li Tiancheng nodded and said, "Okay, let the soldiers prepare. This time, we must wipe out Du Tianmo's forces in one fell swoop!"
Shi Xingyuan was a little worried. "Third Prince, Du Hongyun is at the bridgehead with 30,000 elite soldiers, while we only have 5,000. I'm afraid the prospects are not optimistic."
Man San was furious and shouted, "Shi Xingyuan, are you scared or what? Du Tianmo, that bastard, killed General Wu and captured General Haotian. I, Man San, will go even if it costs my life. If you are scared, go back!"
Shi Xingyuan smiled bitterly, "Old Man, I'm not afraid at all. We have an irreconcilable relationship with Dutian. I'm not afraid even if I can't come back. What I'm afraid of is the safety of the Third Prince! The Third Prince is worth a lot of money. How can we, the rough guys, compare? If something goes wrong with the Third Prince, can you bear the responsibility? They have 30,000 elite soldiers, while we only have 5,000 soldiers and hundreds of soldiers. If we really fight, how can we protect the safety of the prince!"
Man San was stunned, scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were afraid of death."
Shi Xingyuan said solemnly: "Please leave for the time being, Third Prince. Our five thousand soldiers, together with the soldiers under General Haotian, will definitely be able to rescue General Haotian!"
Li Tiancheng shook his head, his attitude firm, "No, I want to go with you!"
Shi Xingyuan wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Mo Zixie, "General, since Shi Haotian allowed you to board this Dayu Dragon Boat, it means that he regards you as his own people. In this case, there are some things I need to explain."
Under the gazes of the crowd, Mo Zixie pulled out the structural diagram of the Dayu Dragon Boat and said, "Our Dayu Dragon Boat is not an ordinary transport floating boat, but a combat floating boat with powerful firepower! Not to mention the combat power of this combat floating boat, it is more than enough to fight against five thousand soldiers. At the same time, the defense capability of this Dayu Dragon Boat is even more amazing. The Third Prince is in the dragon boat, and unless there is a rebellion by the internal personnel, he will not be harmed. At the same time, we have two thousand combat puppets in our floating boat. These combat puppets are not afraid of death or pain, and can easily fight ten with one."
"This..." Everyone was shocked when they heard his words, especially Shi Xingyuan. He had just secretly calculated that if it was really as he said, then their combat power would be equivalent to 30,000 soldiers! Moreover, the enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, and we had the advantage of the terrain. With all these factors added up, we could completely wipe out Du Tianmo's strength!
When the soldiers heard the good news, they cheered loudly. Li Tiancheng was very happy, but at the same time he was puzzled about Shi Yan's identity.
He just had some doubts.
"Just one person?" Du Hongyun asked, frowning and staring at the soldier kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, General. We searched the entire Dongbai City and only found the Lord of Dongbai City. As for his son, he was not in the city! We were worried that if we delayed for too long, people would become suspicious, so we asked him to go back first."
Du Hongyun nodded, "I wanted two people, but you only brought back one person. Go down and accept the punishment later!"
The soldier shuddered when he heard this. He naturally knew what it meant to be punished. He remembered that he had experienced the same pain the last time he was delayed by an incense stick. He could still feel the pain, but he did not dare to disobey. He nodded and said, "Yes, General!" Then he withdrew.
"Are you the Lord of Dongbai City, Zhi Chao? Tsk tsk tsk, you are indeed from a small place." Du Hongyun said with a sneer.
"It's you!" Zhi Chao glared at Du Hongyun and shouted, "Du Hongyun, although you are the commander of the Tianlong Realm, you kidnapped an official of the imperial court. Do you know what crime this is?"
"Hey, a mere city lord dares to claim to be an official appointed by the imperial court. I am so amused!" Du Hongyun slapped Zhi Chao in the face, and Zhi Chao's mouth hurt and he spat out two teeth. Du Hongyun said viciously, "My father is Du Tianmo, and my master is Prime Minister Wenren. Don't even think about arresting a mere city lord like you. Even if your master is the Third Prince, I will arrest him!"
"Humph, I was going to torture you and your son to death in front of Haotian, and let him suffer the torment of the soul. Unfortunately, your son was lucky enough to escape, but as for you..."
