Atlas of Heaven and Man

Commissioner Liang stared at the rows of cavalry formations, thinking to himself, "They've really come."

The remnants of the old imperial family have always dreamed of restoration and reclaiming this world.

With the schism of the Mitosis Mother this time, coupled with the breach in the World Ring, the old imperial family couldn't possibly not get involved. The only question is how much force they've committed this time.

Fortunately, they weren't entirely unprepared.

This was the northern part of the Ji Yang District, originally one of the most unstable areas of Central City, and with a relatively flat coastline opposite. Therefore, Central City had set up a large number of military facilities here and stationed an army.

Upon discovering the anomaly ahead, the airships already patrolling the sky immediately flew towards it.

And in the rear, a rumbling sound arose, as the artillery within the garrison began to roar. However, when the shells hit the sea surface, they seemed to pass through a layer of illusion, not making contact with anything, only causing the seawater to burst apart.

This was because, although the rift seemed close at hand, the fusion of the two worlds had not truly been completed. The cavalry had not yet crossed over from the other side, and at this moment, only sound and light images were leaking through.

At this moment, the centermost column of cavalry moved to the sides, and from beneath the banners, a tall, imposing figure emerged on horseback, stepping forward and crossing the rift.

He was completely covered from head to toe in thick armor, making it impossible to see his face. Bright light reflected from the armor plates on his chest. Man and horse together were nearly five meters tall. A white plume adorned his helmet. He held the reins in one hand and a black iron spear with a white tassel in the other.

After emerging from the formation, he slowly approached. At this moment, the airships had arrived nearby, and the machine guns underneath spat flames, opening fire on him.

However, the bullets seemed to hit something invisible, bursting into flashes of bright light around him, and then falling down.

More artillery fire landed nearby, sending up large plumes of water, but the knight seemed unaffected, still advancing unhurriedly. His horse's hooves stepped on the tide, and the waves splashed, as if he were walking on the sea.

The cavalry behind him stepped forward in unison, the broad knightly array stretching endlessly. This movement, like a moving wall, brought a unique aura and grandeur of a classical military formation rushing forward.

Commissioner Liang stared at the tall figure, looking at the flag behind him and the ornate armor. This was a formally appointed General Who Pacifies the Nation of the old imperial family!

The so-called General Who Pacifies the Nation was a title conferred by the old imperial family, implying that the recipient had the ability to conquer a nation single-handedly.

Such a person, if placed in the new era, using the current term, would be… a Fighter!

He asked, "Has that one arrived yet?"

The female assistant said, "Not yet."

Commissioner Liang sighed inwardly. This person had said he would arrive promptly before twelve o'clock, but it had been more than three hours, and he still hadn't appeared. And if that person on the other side charged over, their army simply wouldn't be able to stop him.

If he really couldn't make it, then they would have to…

But at this moment, the other party suddenly reined in his horse, and the hooves abruptly stopped.

He also stood there, seemingly relaxed.

For a moment, only the sound of the tide surging could be heard.

Both of them were now emitting flickering light, but it was visible that the seawater beneath their feet formed a depression, as if the seawater had sunk down there.

Commissioner Liang breathed a sigh of relief. This person was a Fighter specially sent by the capital to support the Ji Bei Road situation.

And the other side knew that as long as they had an equal force here, this battle might not even start.

Because without sufficient profit to drive them, people of this level would not easily act outside the convergence zone, and the other side's cavalry would not really charge their pre-arranged position.

This cavalry was likely just used to contain them, forcing them to maintain a force here.

So if they didn't move here, they would likely look for a breakthrough point elsewhere. This was the most classic use of orthodox and unorthodox tactics.

So where would it be?

He looked at the display of Central City on the light screen. No matter what, they would definitely try to break through from the formed rifts, and it would definitely be a larger rift.

This was also related to the split sub-bodies. If they were not recovered in time and allowed to exist outside for a long time, the sub-bodies would only continue to expand their living environment, which would gradually tear the gap, causing the gap to become larger and more stable.

Therefore, timely recovery of the split bodies was extremely important, but at this moment, they were encountering varying degrees of obstruction. Fortunately, the command center had already increased the number of subsequent support personnel, and hopefully, the situation could be improved.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the sentry tower sounded, "Twenty-three target obstacles have been cleared, estimated to be recoverable within thirty minutes, five are under evaluation for processing, one reaction force has collapsed and lost combat capability, and emergency team members are currently engaging the blocking target."

Upon hearing this, Commissioner Liang immediately had the specific situation of that location brought up.

On the light screen, a nearly stable rift flickered there. In front of it, a figure nearly three meters tall stood with his arms crossed, with a long, square face, thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes, about thirty-seven or eight years old. Just standing there, he exuded a majestic aura.

And within a half-kilometer range in front of him were more than twenty members of the reaction force who had been knocked down. The surrounding firearms and vehicles had been smashed, and one was burning fiercely.

Through the information provided by the sentry tower, the identity of this person was marked on the light screen:

Chang Kuanghai, a disciple of the Chang Sheng Hall of the Sky Forgiveness Gang.

At this moment, the emergency team that had arrived later was trying to kill him.

This team consisted of two Third Limit Fighters plus three gunmen and two logistics members, which was enough to deal with ordinary Fighters, but the current situation was very bad.

Because they had to get to the split sub-body behind the rift, the two had to rush forward without being sure. One of the Fighters slashed at Chang Kuanghai's arm, but only cut out a white mark.

He was grabbed by the wrist in return, and then with a snap, the other party directly broke it. Another team member took the opportunity to stab the person in the neck with a sword.

But Chang Kuanghai didn't move, his neck only slightly dented. He waved his hand, and the team member instantly had half of his facial bones shattered and flew out far away.

The team member whose wrist was grabbed immediately pulled out a pistol and fired repeatedly at his face at close range, but it was useless. The bullets only made small dents on it and then bounced off.

Before he could continue, a huge fist slammed into his face from the front, and he fell backward with blood spurting out.

Chang Kuanghai looked at the team member who had been knocked away by him, and said in a loud and powerful voice: "You are not the person I am waiting for, go back."

The team member asked in a mumbled voice, "Who are you waiting for?"

Chang Kuanghai did not answer, but once again crossed his arms and stood firmly there with his back to the rift.

Inside the command hall, Commissioner Liang looked at this scene and said silently, "Sky Forgiveness Fist huh…"

The martial arts of the Sky Forgiveness Gang were passed down from the Sky Forgiveness Army of the old imperial family, and the Sky Forgiveness Fist was a horizontal training fist technique used to charge and break through formations.

Slaughter cities and destroy countries, only the sky forgives it. This is the origin of the word "Sky Forgiveness".

Ordinary Fighters are definitely not this person's opponent.

And this person's appearance here at this time makes people have to suspect whether it is related to the old imperial family that appeared before, especially since there is also a formed rift behind him, and there is also an escaped split sub-body on the other side.

It must be dealt with as soon as possible!

He asked, "Which emergency team is suitable for deployment recently?"

The sentry tower searched for a moment and answered, "The nearest emergency team is twenty kilometers away, and it will take fifteen to twenty minutes to arrive at the fastest speed… A defense department combat team in a standby state has been detected within seven kilometers nearby."

Commissioner Liang glanced at it and found that it was Chen Chuan's team. He asked, "Is the communication clear?"

"The team's signal has always been on our platform."

Commissioner Liang hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Let Captain Chen lead the team to solve this target!"

Inside the mansion, after Chen Chuan saw that there were no obvious situations around after the Heavenly Gate opened, he was looking for messages on the platform. At this time, the entire team suddenly received an order from the Defense Department.

The three team members looked at him together: "Captain?"

Chen Chuan looked at the location marked on the map, which was not far from him, and said, "We will go over immediately." He threw the key to the armored vehicle to Qin Qingque, "Executive Qin, you drive."

"Yes!"

The four people had already prepared. After an order, they immediately walked out of the house, while ten sword guards were left in the back room, with machine gun protection nets available. If there was no rift directly appearing here, it would be enough to deal with ordinary people.

However, just as the group walked out and before they got into the car, Chen Chuan seemed to feel something, paused, and looked outside.

At the end of the road, a team of people wearing foreign Fighter ancient clothing was walking towards them. The one in front was a person with short hair, wearing round-frame glasses, a red shirt on the upper body, a black dress on the lower body, and a green-sheathed long knife on his waist.

There were five people in this group, almost all of them were Third Limit Fighters.

Yuan Qiuyuan, Qin Qingque, and Su Wei also saw it. Their expressions became serious, they dispersed to both sides, pulled out their guns, and made a gesture to the back of the mansion.

The person in the front raised his hand, and the people behind him stopped together. He walked over alone.

He stopped about twenty meters away from Chen Chuan and his party, bowed to Chen Chuan, then straightened up, revealing a gentle smile.

"I am Gong Ying Changxiu, Mr. Chen should have received my challenge, right?"
