Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Venia was unable to explain his thoughts clearly, it was just like trying to flatter someone at his level.

Others thought that Venia wanted to snatch the contribution, but Venia wanted to please Akson! Because he was very clear that with Akson's talent, becoming a general of the empire was an extremely easy thing to do.

This was something he couldn't be envious of. After all, this person had been born with a golden key, so there was no way he could compare with him. For such people, their resumes must be clean and beautiful, with no stains. For a battle like this, the front half was beautifully fought. The credit could be left, and the end would be a failure. Then, they would have to find someone else to take the blame for their actions.

was a very suitable person to be of this level. Even if his identity was high enough to last a lifetime, he would still be able to make up for his mistake, so the final result would naturally be great news.

But he did not expect Akson to not appreciate his kindness, as he did not understand Venia's good intentions at all. But he was still a smart person, Molière immediately realised as his face became red.

"No, I'll take responsibility for myself. I'll bear the guilt of not being strict with the law …" The young people might have some face, but Venia raised his hand to stop himself from speaking further.

"Akson... It's already five-thirty. Do you think it's worth it for us to waste half an hour over such a small matter? "Right now, the most important mission is to clean up the war as soon as possible and buy time to take the gold away from here …"

"Is this really a good land? Wrong, that strong Iron-armored Ship will catch up to us any time, with our warship's standards, even if we can force him back, how much loss will it cost? "

"Young man, escort the gold down the mountain as soon as possible. This is the most important mission, don't you have the confidence to accept such an important mission?"

Akson's heart warmed, and he immediately saluted: "Yes, Sir General, I will definitely complete the mission well!"

A conflict finally died down under Molière's control, but this group of people had been delayed for half an hour because of the conflict, it seemed like the heavens did not want to help them anymore, everything were forcing them onto the road to death.

Suddenly a soldier ran in from not far away. "Sir!" "The inspection of the fortifications on the mountain top and the treasury have been completed. There are no dangerous goods, everything is safe …"

"In the last vault, there was a large amount of silver ingots. There was no gold …" At a glance, the amount of silver stored was at least 20 tons... Furthermore, we found some strange spoils of war at the top of Tangwan Mountain, which seem to belong to high ranking officers. We do not know how to deal with them, so we asked for your permission! "

When Venia, Akson and the others heard that there was no gold after the last treasury, they felt a little regretful. However, after thinking back to the other three treasury's bountiful harvest, they felt relieved.

After all, the last stronghold was taken at the smallest sacrifice. It was a very good result to be able to obtain a few dozen tons of silver. On the contrary, what the soldier said about the military officer's remnants had aroused the interest of the crowd.

The Tangwan Mountain was 694 meters above sea level, and the Military Maps was labeled as the 694 Highland. On the mountain peak, there was an extremely vast fortification, which was the observation point of the battlefield that Xiao Hexin was at, which was also the center of command.

In the fortifications, on top of a sandbag, a golden pocket watch was lying on top of a piece of paper, Venia frowned and turned his head to look at Akson, he could see the disbelief in their eyes.

In Europe, only wealthy and upper-class aristocrats could afford to buy such a golden watch. Not only was it worth tens of thousands of gold, but you also had to rely on relationships with others to wait for you to die just because you had no connections.

Why would there be such a golden watch here?

Venia held up the gold watch and looked at it carefully, but couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "What a good watch, it's really worth a lot! Every detail is meticulously carved, and I'm afraid it's impossible to buy it without twelve thousand pounds... But why did the watch stop? It stopped at half past five, and someone purposefully pulled the clockwork to stop it! "

Akson grabbed the piece of paper, and saw a line of words on it in English: "Don't you guys like gold? This golden watch is for you. I hope you will always remember this time and cherish every second of your time with gold … And the signature is Xiao Hexin? "

Venia felt as if he was struck by lightning. He checked the gold watch's shell and sure enough, there was a line of tiny English letters.

At that moment, it was as if he had suddenly met a ghost while walking in the dark. A chill ran up his head from his heels and all the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Up..." God! We've fallen into a trap! All of this was a Chinese trap! At 5: 30, it must be the time for the Chinese to counterattack... This is bad, gold is the bait, we've fallen into his trap! "

The older they fought, the less daring they would be. This was not a derogatory term, it was a saying that the Veterans of the Hundred Wars had a special intuition towards danger. Venia linked everything that happened before and after together and the final answer was obvious.

The blood of all the officers present seemed to have frozen up. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the chaotic scene of the soldiers on the ground. The soldiers who had been tired for an entire night were sleeping and resting, the injured soldiers were wailing in pain.

Engineers and guards camps were repairing roads and building wooden crates to transport treasure. The artillery at the halfway mark of the mountain was also resting. Three quarters of the ammunition that the artillery had brought had already been used up. There was no place for them to replenish it even if they wanted to.

Chaos, by borrowing the light of dawn, all the chaos on the battlefield was reflected in their eyes!

They had seen the current situation clearly. Not to mention how to launch a counterattack, even if they were to wake up these resting soldiers one by one and let them return to their team, it would still take two hours to reorganize them.

Not only that, the soldiers who had fought the bloody battle the entire night were low in morale. They had not even eaten a mouthful of food or hot water. If they were to engage in a firefight with their enemies, it would be impossible for them to unleash even 30% of their full power.

"Gather all the troops, then go down the mountain and board the ship. That would take six to seven hours … How could he make it in time? My God, how can we make it in time? We can't get away, we can't get away anymore! "

"Pass my order, the entire army will give up on their heavy weapons, give up on all their spoils of war, and immediately head down the mountain to gather at the port." We will board the ship and leave here immediately! "

Time flowed like water, never to return once it was gone! The world also doesn't have any medicine for regret. No matter how many opportunities that have been delayed, the heavens will not make it up to you. No matter how decisive Venia's decision is, it is all too late.

At this moment, a thunderous voice came from the sea in the east, it was the location of the branch fleet led by He Mansiji. It was unknown who this Captain was fighting with, but they were already on fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom! At the mouth of the Pacific Strait, there were sounds of desperate gunfire!
