Five full days had passed since Shangzhou was conquered, but Gou Chengwen Dao's face remained as gloomy as a lead cloud. The soldiers under his command knew why the Lord was upset and had the good sense not to offend him.
It¡¯s normal to be upset.
The Shangzhou they captured was in ruins. All the people had been evacuated early, and all the buildings had been vandalized. Not even a complete house could be found. The entrance to Shangzhou is too narrow, not to mention large warships, even medium-sized warships cannot enter. Of the five days we have been in Shangzhou, it rained heavily for four of them. With our physical condition, we naturally don¡¯t have to worry about getting sick from the rain, but the impact on our mood is real.
Seeing the mud everywhere and staying in the cramped small battleship, one can imagine how everyone felt.
Even the fragrant and pleasant sun tea has lost some of its flavor at this time.
"Your Excellency, are you still worried about SAARC?" Qi Ke glanced at the livid Gou Chengwen Dao in the distance, picked up the tea cup with a leisurely expression.
The three generals under Goucheng Wen Dao each have their own characteristics. Cliff is resolute, determined, and down-to-earth, while Zeke is naturally alert. The three have cooperated with each other for many years and have a tacit understanding. They wisely avoided the boss. At this time, they bumped into the muzzle of the gun, angered the boss and was hacked to death, but it was a wasted death.
However, Shangzhou was finally captured. The continuous hard battles in the past period made everyone's nerves highly tense and their minds tired. At this time, they finally had time to relax and rest. The three of them sat together, drinking tea around the fire and relaxing their minds.
Ken nodded and said in a deep voice: "If the other party gives up Shangzhou so easily, there will definitely be back-ups. We cannot take it lightly."
Zeke said disapprovingly: "I think you are overthinking. They can only retreat. By retreating, they can gain strategic depth. Otherwise, are they waiting here to be taken advantage of by us?"
Even though he was speechless, he could not give a reason to refute. It is true that a thin line of defense cannot give Shangzhou enough protection. Once it is broken through, the situation it faces will undoubtedly be more dangerous.
Cliff said calmly: "Don't underestimate your opponent, Zeke."
He is the oldest and most senior among the three. Qi Ke had also stayed under his command back then, and it was he who personally promoted him and recommended him to the boss, so that he was recognized by Gou Chengwen Dao and became the leader of the army.
Zeke respected Cliff very much, and he was a little curious: "Do you think they can still make any waves?"
Cliff was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly: "I don't know what other plans they have, but I always think of Xie Yu'an involuntarily. This group of people has never lacked fighting spirit, and they have never given up so easily. Surrendering is not theirs. style."
Cliff did not explain the reasons from the situation, but only explained the opponent's style and character, but he was full of persuasion.
Ken nodded involuntarily, and Zeke's expression became serious. They have been fighting and stalemate with the SAARC sides for so long, and they have a profound understanding of the other side's tenacity.
Yes, no matter what, the opponent is also an opponent who surrenders easily.
"Indeed, they are respectable opponents. I am really curious about their next actions." Zeke's eyes flashed, and his fighting spirit was high.
Seeing that Zeke had put away his arrogance, Cliff said no more, turned to Ken and asked: "Have you found the entrance to the Heavenly Road?"
"No." Ken shook his head: "We have searched the entire Shang Continent, but we have not found the Star Gate."
"It may not be the Star Gate." Zeke's mind was spinning the fastest. He thought for a while and said: "It is also possible that the Star Gate is not on the ground or in the air."
"Not on the ground or in the air?" Ken was stunned for a moment.
"Blue Swamp, don't forget Blue Swamp." Zeke reminded.
"It's possible." Cliff also nodded: "The South Alliance and the others first appeared in Shangzhou. This information has been confirmed many times and is absolutely correct. If there are no star gates on the ground or in the air, then the most likely place is It can only be the Blue Swamp. Don¡¯t forget, they once sold a considerable number of Ice Blue Guns, and they obviously went deep into the Blue Swamp.¡±
¡°If it¡¯s Blue Swamp, that¡¯s going to be troublesome.¡± Ken smiled bitterly.
Ken has a kind-hearted personality, is meticulous in his work, and never finds it too troublesome. Even if he said it was troublesome, it meant it was really troublesome, and the other two didn't look too good either.
??If we say that Savage Island is isolated from the outside world, it has never been conquered. Then the vast mystery of the Blue Swamp is even more daunting. The trade routes between Savage Continent and Guangming Continent are not cut off, and everyone can still get a lot of intelligence and news about Savage Continent.
The blue swamp is another world, and the blue gnomes are the natives of the blue swamp.
The tentacles of the blue swamp extend to every corner of the sanctuary. Blue is found on many continents, but what everyone is worried about is the blue tide. blueCreatures like Confucianism are inherently hostile to humans. No one knows what the depths of the Blue Swamp are like. There have been many powerful men who wanted to find out, but no one has been able to come back alive.
If the Star Gate is really in the Blue Swamp and facing them, that would definitely be a bad thing.
Now it seems that this is very likely.
Cliff noticed that the atmosphere was a little gloomy and said seriously: "Even in the Blue Swamp, we have to find it. Everyone knows what the Heavenly Road means to the temple, to Guangming Continent, and to us. We all captured Shang Continent, How can we retreat at this time? Besides, we find it difficult, but what about those people in the Southern League? They arrived at the Holy Land from the Heavenly Road. Is the threat of the Blue Swamp only for us?"
When Ken and Zeke heard this, their spirits lifted.
"That's right!" Qi Ke's mind was spinning the fastest: "Since they can appear in Shangzhou, the star gate must be not far from Shangzhou."
Ken said without hesitation: "I will immediately send people to search the nearby Blue Swamp."
Cliff said decisively: "We will search in three directions at the same time to increase efficiency!"
The three of them immediately rushed into the rain, gathered their team, and began searching the nearby Blue Swamp.
Finding the legendary star gate leading to heaven is their most urgent goal at the moment. Even if it cannot be found immediately, it can at least be able to lock the general direction of the star gate. Of course, the SAARC will not surrender, but as long as they find the Star Gate, all SAARC counterattacks will become a joke.
With the help of the souls of Tianlu, they can grow rapidly. Guangmingzhou, which is already more powerful, will leave Southern Alliance far behind. After many years of soul research in Guangmingzhou, although they have not been able to produce living souls on a large scale, they have found ways to use raw souls.
As long as they have living souls, their strength will undergo a qualitative transformation in a very short period of time.
Outside the entrance of Shangzhou, there are many warships parked with masts standing in great numbers, and the scene is extremely spectacular. All the large and medium-sized warships and transport ships under Goucheng Wendao were unable to enter Shangzhou and could only be anchored outside the estuary.
The newly built fortress at the entrance to the sea was completely destroyed, and everyone could only be stationed on battleships. However, people who traveled back and forth learned that the environment in Shangzhou was even worse. It was raining continuously. Even the adults had no houses and could only squeeze into small battleships. Everyone was much more mentally balanced.
The large battleship is amazing in shape, very spacious and very comfortable.
Out of caution, Goucheng Wendao ordered nearly half of the warships to maintain combat readiness to deal with possible attacks. In addition, flexible small warships are formed into formations, with dozens of warships forming a tight patrol network to prevent small-scale enemy sneak attacks.
However, everyone is not too worried about this. With the continuous fighting, everyone is relatively familiar with the fighting methods of SAARC. SAARC is good at intra-continental positional warfare, good at defense with the help of fortifications, and good at fighting in complex terrain, such as street fighting, such as fighting using the wreckage of warships.
The content they are good at definitely does not include battleship duels.
Now that the two sides have changed places and occupied the entrance to the sea, the large battleship group is like a tight fortress.
Attacking the fortress requires a huge battleship group to achieve it. Sneaking dozens of people would not pose any threat to such a huge battleship group.
So overall, everyone is quite relaxed. Although due to the strict orders from above, no one dared to have a carnival and let off steam, but everyone was already looking forward to the triumph.
The overall situation has been decided.
This is the thought of many middle-level officers and soldiers. The enemy's lair has been taken over by them, so what kind of waves can the other side make? Take Shangzhou away from them again?
Do not make jokes!
Wu Kai, who had just finished his patrol, came to the restaurant on the battleship and joined a group of teammates who were chatting.
"What activities are there tonight? I'm so busy. Hey, when I was fighting, I was looking forward to rest, but I've only had a few days of rest, and I feel very bored!"
"I can only play cards, what other activities can I do?"
"Oh my god, I want to puke when I see the cards! Who can do something new? Like find a girl?"
¡°There¡¯s not even a single person in Shangzhou, and you¡¯re still looking for a girl?¡±
"If the boss knows that they are in the rain and you are looking for a girl, oh, this picture is so beautiful, I dare not look at it!" Wu Kai interrupted at the right time, with an exaggerated look on his face.
The others burst into laughter.
"Then what fun do you have?" The soldier who was teased stared at Wu Kai.
"Maybe we can do something exciting!" Wu Kai was secretly proud and threw out the idea he had thought of for a long time. He pointed at the huge energy vortex outside the window: "SeeIs it a big thing? "
Everyone was shocked when they saw the energy group.
That huge energy vortex is said to have been formed during a great battle, right near the mouth of the sea. When they parked the warship, they deliberately stayed away from it. Everyone was really worried that it would explode suddenly.
"You know the origin of this energy vortex." Wu Kai said happily: "I heard that there are hundreds of soul objects in it!"
"Soul thing!"
"Hundreds of pieces!"
¡¡
The soldiers all exclaimed with shock on their faces. Treasures like soul objects are priceless treasures in their eyes, and they cannot be linked to hundreds of them.
"This news is absolutely true!" Wu Kai looked mysterious, and then instigated everyone: "Since we are so bored, why don't we have a vigorous treasure hunt? There are hundreds of soul objects lying there. If we can get them from Once we find one or two items inside, we will distribute them!¡±
After a short period of silence, everyone was ready to move.
