Chapter 570 Counterattack
Lin Wen once again activated [A World Away] and locked onto Li Linyue's location.
The second time he teleported near her.
This time, my luck was not so good and the transmission error was large.
Lin Wen landed at the edge of a plain. The roar of artillery fire rang in his ears. The continuous gunfire shattered the silence, and smoke spread across this land that had not experienced war for 180 years.
On this vast plain that carries the heart of the empire, a one-sided massacre is taking place.
Lin Wen activated his [Clairvoyance] to search for the exact location of Li Linyue and the others.
According to the report from the clay figures, they were retreating rapidly under the cover of the royal guards and the clay figures, and a large number of colonial warriors were chasing them closely with the cooperation of the army.
The Imperial Guards were defeated across the board. They tried to urgently restore their armaments, but were caught off guard by the private soldiers of Zhao Chong, commander of the southern district; Luo Yuan, commander of the northern district; Wu Yao, commander of the western district; and Qin Gang, commander of the southwestern district.
Lin Yabo Group’s elite guards even took the field personally and charged ahead.
The situation is extremely critical.
Lin Wen's face was gloomy.
This is the power of all groups whose interests are affected.
They were eager to completely strangle the Huang faction, wipe out Li Longxing's direct line, and send them to the eighteen levels of hell, where they would never be reborn.
The imperial army has completely withdrawn, and the Great Elder will not participate in this battle. All grudges and consequences will be borne by themselves.
While Lin Wen was searching, the artillerymen on the artillery position suddenly noticed an extra person next to the position and shouted, "Who are you? Which unit are you from?"
Lin Wen ignored them and quickly found the traces of Li Linyue and others.
Bang!
A bullet hit the back of his head, like a mosquito bite. Lin Wen glanced at it, and the artillerymen screamed, "Special forces!" and fled in all directions.
But it was too late.
Lin Wen kicked over the muzzle of the cannon and punched the cannon to pieces. The cannon vomited and killed all the fleeing artillerymen.
Eliminate evil and gain +33 good karma.
Huh?
Are these soldiers all black?
Lin Wen didn't think much about it, he jumped into the air, and the wooden man took shape instantly.
The next moment, the wooden man broke through the sound barrier again and headed straight for Li Linyue and others.
First of all, we have to rescue all these people.
Then rescue as many soldiers as possible and try to preserve the royal faction's manpower.
Therefore, using [Wood Magic] is still the most appropriate.
The wooden man instantly broke the sound barrier.
The huge sonic boom was clearly audible even in such a noisy battlefield.
The moment Li Linyue raised her head, the huge wooden man had already landed behind them. The three helicopters that had been following them were all swept down by the wooden man with a slap. A team of colonial warriors who tried to attack them from the side were instantly dispersed by the wooden man.
"Lin Wen!"
Li Linyue's tears burst out like a dam breaking.
“Come up quickly!”
Lin Wen stretched out his hand, and the wooden man's body turned into a very large rectangle, like a container.
"I'll get you to a safe place first."
“Hurry, hurry!”
Li Linyue did not hesitate at all. Even though her tears continued to flow and her voice changed, she still quickly commanded a large number of non-combatants to run along the wooden man's arms and into its body.
The royal guards even carried people and jumped directly into the wooden man's body.
Boom! Boom!
A huge explosion sounded behind the wooden man. It tilted its body slightly, and its huge body blocked the sudden intensive bombardment. In the light of the explosion, the flickering shadow of the wooden man protected their safety like a shelter.
For a moment, Li Linyue felt that this figure was like a father, using his tall and strong body to help her withstand the wind and rain from the outside world, and using his broad back to block all the swords, guns, sticks and clubs that were stabbing at them.
Lin Wen was not so sentimental. [Without Colorful Phoenix] was strongly warning the police that a very great danger was approaching and he had to leave as soon as possible.
The body of the wooden man is made up of countless tiny wood fibers, which can protect the human body while bearing their weight, so many people can be stuffed into it.
What made Lin Wen feel a little relieved was that almost everyone was here, including Li Longxing. He was still in the quantum state and there was no change.
With everyone's efforts, in less than a minute, all the non-combatants were inside. Only Li Linyue was still standing outside. She seemed to want to say something, but Lin Wen had no time for nonsense. He picked her up and pressed her into his body.
Now, there are only about three hundred royal guards and more than fifty clay figures left in front of him.
Lin Wen's eyes met with Bai He, the captain of the Royal Guard, and they both understood each other, and everything was understood without words.
The wooden man stood up and flew out of the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.
The royal guards broke up into small groups and scattered.
The clay man turned around and rushed towards the battlefield, rushing towards the enemy army that was as overwhelming as a dark cloud.
Several strong cold lights rushed over from afar. The clay man tried to block them, but was instantly beaten into pieces of earth.
The broken soil fell to the ground and gathered quickly like mercury, but the cold light did not linger for long and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Wen knew from the clay figure that the captain of the imperial garrison had come again, and they seemed to be waiting for him.
Lin Wen quickly increased his power, and with the reinforcement of the "Five Gods", he used his [Object Control Technique] to its full potential, and the wooden man instantly exceeded three times the speed of sound.
But this time, there was also an imperial garrison captain lying in ambush ahead. They rushed towards him and Lin Wen had no time to dodge.
Bang!
The wooden man's hands and feet were smashed to pieces. Fortunately, he twisted his body at the critical moment and used his hands and feet to block the rushing captain, otherwise the baby in his belly would be dead.
The four captains fell to the ground under the impact of the high-speed collision, creating a big hole.
The captain at the rear discovered that the wooden man did not lose balance and fall down as they had expected.
It didn't move at all, still flying forward, even speeding up, and its limbs quickly recovered.
Ran away again.
The captains landed on the ground.
The four captains also climbed out of the pit. Apart from the torn dragon-patterned uniforms, they had no other injuries on their bodies.
A captain immediately reported to the elders' compound:
"The unknown super-special combat entity has escaped again. We haven't discovered when it entered the scene. Based on its ability to change its body shape to a limited extent, we believe it has a method of shrinking its size and disguising itself."
Great Elder: "What is the threat level?"
Captain: "The unknown super special combat body has extremely high physical strength, can reach three times the speed of sound, and has an incomprehensible recovery ability. There is a 3/1000 chance that it can break through our defense and pose a threat to you."
Great Elder: "Suggestions?"
Captain: "I suggest that among the four envoys to the throne, at least one should be stationed permanently."
The Great Elder said: "No, the transfer of the Emperor's control to the two King Guardians was not successful. The King Guardians refused the order. Li Longxing has not been confirmed dead. They must be restrained. Therefore, the King Guardians cannot stay permanently. The energy of the encapsulated body is insufficient."
Captain: "Understood. Do you want to continue the pursuit?"
The Great Elder said: "No, your power level is far inferior to that of the King's Envoy, but the distance is still too far. The polymorphic unit attenuation is too great, so it is not advisable to increase the distance."
Captain: "Understood, requesting the next step."
The Great Elder said: "This is the current distance limit. Within this range, monitor the battlefield. If you find any special combat units other than the Royal Guards, the Colonial Soldiers of the various local groups, or the Insect Man, you must eliminate them."
Captain: "Understood."
The call should have ended, but the Great Elder asked an additional question: "Could this unknown super special combat body and those strange special combat bodies that seem to be made of mud be related to Changshan County?"
The captain hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure. Changshan County's technology is very strange."
"good."
Click, the communicator turned off.
——
One minute later.
Lin Wen has left the battlefield and left the Shenjing area.
But the danger still exists, so Lin Wen directly asks the spell.
Where should they be sent?
Cost: 5%.
Answer:
【East Qinzhou】
Lin Wen changed direction and flew towards East Qinzhou.
But after flying for a few minutes, Lin Wen saw a large number of armored vehicles, personnel carriers, tanks and combat vehicles rushing towards the Shenjing area.
Are they enemy reinforcements?
No, that's not right.
Lin Wen quickly discovered the unique symbol of the Qing Army of East Qinzhou.
This is Sheng Huaixuan's troops.
He went to support the Guards.
Lin Wen fell directly from the sky in a hurry, and the alarm of [No Colorful Phoenix] sounded halfway and then disappeared.
Sheng Huaixuan should have recognized that this wooden man was an ally with no ill intentions.
Lin Wen bent down the wooden figure and poured out the large group of people in his stomach.
The human body is actually very small, with an adult weighing only about 0.06 cubic meters.
But people are not commodities. If you want to feel a little better, you need about 0.6 cubic meters of space.
When the wooden man's belly is stretched, it is fifteen meters long, eight meters high, and five meters wide, with a total of five hundred square meters of usable space inside.
Lin Wen packed nearly seven hundred people in at once. It was quite spectacular to see such a large group of people pouring out. Lin Wen carefully protected them with his hands to prevent them from getting hurt.
Several off-road vehicles sped towards him and stopped not far away.
Sheng Huaixuan, the governor of Dongqinzhou, who hadn't been seen for a long time, got out of the car, ran over anxiously, and shouted, "Is that Lin Wen?"
The wooden man nodded: "It's me."
A big hand gently took Li Linyue out of the belly and put her on the ground. When she saw Sheng Huaixuan, tears started to flow again.
"Uncle Sheng..."
She called out softly.
"We, we failed..."
She could no longer speak.
The beautiful mountains and rivers turned into a hell of ghosts and death, the glorious reforms collapsed in an instant, all the beautiful dreams and expectations turned into nothing, and the continuous failures almost broke her.
"Girl Li."
Sheng Huaixuan's expression softened for a moment, and he reached out and gently wiped away her tears.
"Don't be afraid. I'm still here, Uncle Sheng. Dongqinzhou hasn't fallen yet, and we haven't failed yet. Brother Longxing's long-cherished wish cannot be trampled upon by those ghosts."
His expression became serious, and he quickly ordered people to properly accommodate the people rescued by Lin Wen.
Li Linyue wiped away her tears and said, "Uncle Sheng, before the attack, the six armies of the Imperial Guard were separated. They were isolated from the outside and had poor communication. Two of the armies surrendered under pressure, and the remaining four were attacked by the coalition forces of Lin Yabo and others. We hurriedly tried to regroup, but our formation had already been broken and we were flanked and bombarded..."
Sheng Huaixuan nodded and said, "I understand. You guys go back to Dongqinzhou first."
"We will go and support the Royal Guards and will not let Lin Yabo and his gang succeed."
Executive Staff Officer Guo Feng said: "Take these generals with you and the recruited Royal Guards. We can organize them on the spot and participate in the battle."
Sheng Huaixuan said: "Okay."
Soon, more than 500 people were sent back, and more than 200 generals stayed.
Sheng Huaixuan saw his old friend lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. His eyes fell silent for a moment, but soon became high-spirited again and shouted, "Forward! For everything we have, get justice!"
"Get justice!"
The neat voices reached the sky.
Lin Wen was happy. With Sheng Huaixuan as his strong support, everything would be easier.
His auxiliary ability is a million times stronger than his frontal combat ability.
After all, he has no cultivation now, so his spells are not very powerful.
But his IQ of 250 has never been restricted.
Afterwards, Sheng Huaixuan held a brief pre-war meeting on the spot.
Lin Wen was surprised to find that at the meeting there were not only some key generals of Dongqinzhou, such as Nuopes, Ling Huayue, Mei Xingan, Cheng Hexin, Ren Qingshan, Dong Qianwang, etc., who he had met once before.
There are also old acquaintances such as Chang Shouren, Xu Jieying, Lu Zhengxin, Han Dong, Cheng Gang, and Liu Sisi, the leaders of the resistance party.
Lin Wen asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Xu Jieying smiled and said, "Headmaster Lin, we, the resistance army, are a branch of the Mingren Party. The one who supports us is Governor Sheng. This is Mr. Chang Shouren, the leader of our Mingren Party."
Chang Shouren looked like a stern, middle-aged man. He smiled at Lin Wen kindly and said, "It's our first meeting. I've heard of your great name for a long time, County Chief Lin."
Cheng Gang shouted, "Brother Lin, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, everything will be fine."
Liu Sisi slapped him on the back of the head: "If you don't have the ability, why are you pretending to be capable? If you don't feel ashamed, then I do."
Everyone laughed good-naturedly, but it soon stopped.
Some colonial-style guards from Dongqinzhou stood around. These people, known as the "Black Guards," quickly made the atmosphere solemn.
"Lin Wen." Sheng Huaixuan stared at him seriously and said, "What's with that strange wooden figure you just mentioned?"
Lin Wen scratched his head, racking his brains to figure out how to make up this scientific story, when Sheng Huaixuan said, "Lin Wen, what I mean is, can anyone else be sure that your wooden figure belongs to you?"
Lin Wen shook his head: "No."
"Well, remember this: Changshan County must not say a word about this matter. No matter what you do, don't make a sound, and don't take sides."
Lin Wen scratched his head and agreed, "Oh, I see."
"You must remember this."
After repeated warnings, Sheng Huaixuan said, "Our enemy is a group of twenty-nine people, led by Lin Yabo, including the elders Luo Nuo and Cheng Wei, the regional commanders Qin Gang, Zhao Chong, Luo Yuan, and Wu Yao, the governors Shi Yuan, Gu Zhengyi, Chang Zainian, and others, and the imperial officials Yan Gao, Li Hongpei, Kong Xiangxi, and Li Huideng."
"Long Xing has been declared dead, and news of a new emperor is brewing. Some of our allies have been wiped out, some are under siege, and some have rebelled. The situation is extremely dangerous for us."
"At this moment, we must first defeat their private army group, gather as many defeated soldiers as possible, save the vitality of the Guards, and gather the remnants of the Imperial Faction."
"Then, we will be qualified to negotiate terms with the Great Elder."
Chang Shouren said, "Mr. Sheng, please feel free to arrange whatever instructions you have. We, the Communist Party, will do our utmost to carry them out."
Sheng Huaixuan nodded and said, "Sir, after entering the Shenjing Plains, our first priority is to eliminate the enemy and rescue our allies. Do not attack the Imperial Army or Shenjing, otherwise the Great Elder will have no choice but to join forces with Lin Yabo to eliminate us."
"In addition, we will capture all areas along the way. After we take them, please send people to occupy them, sir, to ensure the safety of our subsequent reinforcements and supplies, and expand our influence."
"Also, the critical mission I mentioned is now assigned to you."
Chang Shouren nodded: "I understand."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's go."
When the meeting ended, everyone looked serious.
They knew that the turning point of the empire's fate was here.
——
Dongqinzhou and Shenjing area are separated by only Tianzhou, and they have already walked more than half of the way.
Not long after, Sheng Huaixuan entered the Shenjing Plain area.
The total number of the Qing Army and the rebels reached 600,000. They brazenly entered the battlefield and joined the war, causing a huge change in the battlefield situation.
The enemies are all private soldiers of the Twenty-Nine Group, without a single regular army. Otherwise, they would not be able to hide it from the imperial faction.
Although the private soldiers were elite, they had no unified command and poor coordination. In order to pursue and annihilate the Guards as quickly as possible, they were scattered and not in formation.
As soon as Sheng Huaixuan entered the battlefield, he dealt them a heavy blow.
The blow was so heavy that it directly defeated Lin Yabo's elite guards and rescued a trapped division of the Guards.
They were covered in wounds and couldn't even get a gun each.
Cheng Li and Guo Feng immediately reorganized the troops, sent the wounded to the rear, reorganized those with combat capabilities, distributed weapons, and added them to the battle sequence.
Lin Wen did not summon any more wooden men. In such a large-scale war, the combat power of one or two individuals could not play a decisive role.
He repeatedly used [Immortal Guidance] and [Asking the Way from Heaven] to obtain battlefield information, and then told Sheng Huaixuan.
"Forty-five degrees east, 11.3123 kilometers away, there are 31,225.5 enemies trying to ambush our Third Division."
Cheng Gang asked confusedly, "What does 0.5 people mean?"
Liu Sisi slammed him: "Don't interrupt County Chief Lin! If I split you in half, wouldn't that be 0.5?"
"In the 71st degree west, 15.2392 kilometers away, there are 12,312.3 well-equipped enemies attempting to intercept the retreating Guards."
Cheng Gang asked in confusion, "What does 0.3 enemies mean?"
Liu Sisi lashed out at him: "I told you not to interrupt..."
For the first time, Sheng Huaixuan enjoyed the feeling of unilateral transparency on the battlefield.
The information provided by Lin Wen was so detailed that it even included the enemy's combat effectiveness, movements, intentions, equipment, and other information.
Sheng Huaixuan, who was known as the Southern King and had a long military career, fully demonstrated his abilities. Under his command, the Qing Army and the rebels attacked from all sides and always appeared at the best and most appropriate time, beating the 29-man coalition army into a panic and howling.
A large number of guards were rescued, and Sheng Huaixuan's troops grew larger and stronger as the battle went on.
And in the invisible distance, the main force of the People's Liberation Army is gathering.
This was once declared the "most evil" party by the empire. They were once completely wiped out, but now, it has revived without anyone noticing.
The troops coming from various states were like countless streams converging into one, forming a vast ocean of people.
Five hundred thousand.
Six hundred thousand.
Seven hundred thousand.
…
One million.
They held guns and stared at the land of Shenjing with a fierce look, using their silent power to warn the imperial army not to act rashly.
This is Sheng Huaixuan's long-held trump card.
Dongqinzhou, which is run like an iron barrel, is his backing.
"Lin Yabo."
There was a cold light in Sheng Huaixuan's eyes.
"Your time of death has come."
