Atlas of Heaven and Man

This team was entirely composed of fighters. Besides Iron Demon and his two assistants, who were all appointed samurai, the rest were all mounted warrior-sergeants, that is, second-limit fighters.

Each of them was covered in three layers of protection. The innermost layer was protective clothing, over which they wore protective armor, and then a layer of cyan anti-stab robes wrapped around their bodies. Ordinary gunfire and stabs were almost useless against them.

Each person carried five linked long spears on their back, which could be used to attack enemies or climb over obstacles.

These people crossed the sparse barbed wire and trenches from the rear one by one. As for those wide trenches, they could be easily crossed with the help of throwing spear ropes.

And after reaching the fortress wall, they only needed to throw the long spears onto the wall, and then they could climb directly up. The whole process wouldn't take long.

They had done sufficient reconnaissance of the internal situation of the fortress long ago, knowing the internal structure and the distribution of personnel. Everyone knew where they should enter, and what they should do after entering.

Chen Chuan was sitting in his room, gathering his essence and spirit. At this moment, he seemed to sense something, and his eyes opened. He looked at his watch, it was 4:30 in the morning.

Then he picked up the Snow Monarch Blade and walked out of the room.

Looking out from the observation port, the night sky outside was still as dark as ink. Searchlights swept back and forth across the surrounding ground and walls, but further away it was dark and沉沉, and nothing could be seen.

He continued to walk forward, pushed open a passageway door, and came to a narrow platform, where he stood quietly.

After about half an hour, the sky gradually brightened, but there was still no movement below, and everything seemed normal.

At this moment, an alarm from the patrol team suddenly came from within the boundary, as if they had discovered something.

He immediately moved and followed the internal corridor to that location. When he arrived, he saw that Hai Cheng had already arrived and was talking to two patrol personnel. One of the soldiers was pointing at a certain place and reporting.

Chen Chuan followed his gaze and saw rows of long spears nailed to the wall, with several of them already reaching the top. If it was a fighter, they could enter the fortress interior with just a flip.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came, and others who had received the message also arrived. Rao Guwen looked at this, feeling both apprehensive and excited, and said, "As expected, they're here!"

Chen Chuan said, "Is it them?"

Hai Cheng said affirmatively from the side, "It's them. I recognize these spears. However, it won't be easy for them to get through the front defenses. They will definitely make a commotion. They must have come from the rear."

"From the rear…"

In the distance, about two kilometers away, there was a knight wearing a scarlet iron mask sitting on horseback, with a long spear with white tassels lying across the saddle.

And there was no one around him, just one person and one horse standing there.

"That's Iron Demon, right?"

Yuan Qiuyuan also saw this figure. He leaned forward to take a look, "This distance… I'm afraid the machine gun can't reach…" He turned to Hai Cheng and said, "Hai Guard, can we fire a cannon at him?"

Hai Cheng stood there with his arms crossed. He shook his head and said, "Don't waste your effort. We've tried it before, but Iron Demon seems to have a unique ability. He always moves to avoid it before we fire a cannon.

Yeah, it seems like he has a special warning about danger.

So he's especially difficult to deal with. We can never catch him. Many imperial samurai who have invaded here before were not as difficult as him."

Yuan Qiuyuan sighed, "What a pity."

At this moment, suddenly Iron Demon tilted his neck, and then a loud gunshot came from not far away.

He looked over and saw Qin Qingque holding a halberd rifle in her hand, but she seemed a little puzzled as to why she was dodged by the other party in advance.

Chen Chuan stood with his sword, staring at that person. Seeing the other party finally glanced at him, then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and galloped away into the distant dense forest, disappearing in a moment.

Rao Guwen walked over at this time, frowning deeply, and said, "Iron Demon should have prepared to take this place last night, but I don't understand why he didn't come up. Did he notice that we were here?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Did the war room have any intelligence about his warning ability before?"

Rao Guwen replied, "Yes, but there is no accurate understanding of the extent to which his ability can reach. We can't not make any plans because of this matter."

He said with a serious expression, "Just judging from this situation, his premonition ability is stronger than I previously estimated, and he acts more cautiously."

He sighed, "This time the ambush failed. With this person's caution, I'm afraid he won't come over easily again."

Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. I've read those materials that Consultant Rao gave me before. He often enjoys attacking difficult-to-crack locations, and even actively goes to places that may be dangerous. He should be able to come and go freely because of this ability to pre-warn of danger. I think he won't give up so easily."

In the eye contact just now, he read something from the other party's eyes, which was a kind of provocation and persistence. The other party's attack this time is probably not over yet.

Rao Guwen said cautiously, "But even so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with him. As long as he doesn't come up to the fortress, we can't do anything to him in the wild."

Chen Chuan said, "Not necessarily. Now he's probably still unclear about our strength. If he understands that only our small team is stationed here, he may try every means to lure us out."

If that's the case, Rao Guwen regained his composure and quickly judged the situation along this line of thought.

"Then the simplest thing to do is to attack the patrol teams of other nearby garrisons, or even attack the garrisons, constantly increasing pressure on us through continuous killings and destruction, forcing us to go out of the fortress to pursue and suppress them.

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Post!

Once we go out, if he successfully kills us in the wild, then he will continue to come back to attack Fortress Seventy-Three.

Yeah, this is very possible. Now One Zero Four should have been re-sealed, which means he is locked up here. So to go back, he must find a breakthrough.

And the longer it is delayed, the greater the risk, so he is staring at us here, and the possibility of breaking through here is the highest!"

He suddenly raised his head and said to Chen Chuan, "Two days, at most two days, he can confirm the situation, because if there is rescue from the rear, it will take about two days to react."

Chen Chuan pondered for a while and said, "Since he wants us to go out, then let's follow his wishes."

"Captain Chen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I will lead the team out to pursue and suppress him, giving him a chance."

Rao Guwen was stunned, and then he hurriedly tried to persuade, "Captain Chen, I don't recommend you do this. Here in the fortress, we can rely on it, and we also have the cooperation of personnel and weapons, but when you get outside, you have no support other than yourselves."

Hai Cheng walked over at this time. He said in a deep voice, "Captain Chen, I admire your courage, but we have tried to encircle and suppress this person in the wild before, but the result was that several teams were wiped out outside, and even the bodies could not be found." Speaking of the end, his voice became heavy.

Chen Chuan said sincerely, "Thank you, Guard Hai, for reminding me, but if we don't do this, he won't actively attack the fortress, he will only harass around, and we can only watch helplessly and do nothing."

He said to Consultant Rao again, "The previous choice to hold on was the right one in terms of tactical choice, but now holding on is useless, then we have to take the initiative to attack. As for support…"

He said slowly, "As a fighter, we have enough of ourselves at this time."

"The captain is right, as a fighter, we have enough of ourselves! Captain, I will go with you." Yuan Qiuyuan said loudly from the side.

Qin Qingque stood up, straightened her spine, and said, "Captain, I will go too."

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Rao Guwen sighed in his heart. He thought for a while and solemnly reminded, "Since that's the case, I won't stop you. Don't go too far, and it's best to be able to rush back in time at night."

After preparing for half an hour, Chen Chuan took the things he should take. The three of them drove an off-road vehicle out of the fortress in the complicated and worried eyes of the crowd, and chased in the direction where Iron Demon disappeared.

This time, he didn't bring other team members, because once the battle started, it would be difficult to take care of these ordinary team members, and Qin Qingque knew how to drive and repair, and also knew how to tinker with the radio, so it was enough to have her there.

Yuan Qiuyuan was very excited. Apart from anything else, Chen Chuan's decision was very much to his liking. Shrinking in the fortress and waiting for the enemy to attack was too passive. He felt uncomfortable everywhere. Taking the initiative to attack was the right thing to do.

Qin Qingque was driving the car in front. She drove the car steadily and quickly, and asked, "Captain, there is no road ahead, where do we go?"

Chen Chuan was sitting in the back seat. He glanced outside and said, "Just follow the traces left by their large army and go down. Even if we can't catch up with them, as long as we are far enough away from the fortress, they will come to find us."
