For any force except Dongdao, Changdao is not a suitable place for a decisive battle. It is no exaggeration to say that on Changdao, the advantages of almost all forces have been suppressed to the lowest point. Only Dongdao has the home field advantage. The island thrives in this environment.
Changdao is one of the coldest cities in the entire East Island. This city that was once bombed by nuclear weapons has been a scorched earth for a long time. Even now, even if there are people, it is quite sparse. It is a truly vast land and sparsely populated area. , specifically speaking to the areas where major forces lurk, this space with a radius of hundreds of miles is even more unbelievably cold.
At this point, Dongdao has no way to retreat, so they have shown an extremely determined attitude towards this upcoming decisive battle from the beginning. The Kamikaze troops immediately signed a mobilization order, and the Flowing Fire Palace and the Gale Wind Control... The three giant forces of Jianliu and Wuji Palace fully support it. The Caozhi troops are fully activated. All the elite forces of the entire East Island special warfare system are gathering towards Changdao. Changdao is vast and sparsely populated. No matter how good the major forces are at hiding, It was impossible to hide seamlessly in this open environment. Dongdao basically locked the approximate locations of the major forces without much effort, and then dispatched troops in the name of an exercise to blockade an area of about 100 kilometers in radius. .
There is no doubt that this is the battlefield for the decisive battle.
There are four villages and a town located here within a hundred kilometers. The total number of people is only a few thousand people. When the evacuation order of Dongdao was issued, all the civilians were already there. After leaving immediately, the entire battlefield was as silent as a ghost, no matter day or night.
The night has covered the sky, there is no moon tonight, the misty and sparse starlight is reflected in the silent wilderness, the world is quiet, and only the chirping of insects is left around.
A dark gray commercial vehicle was driving at a steady speed on a flat road. The vehicle did not turn on the lights, but moved forward by the sparse starlight. In the hazy and dark light, the vehicle, which was not too small, actually seemed to be in a trance. It feels scary and weird.
"Young Master, we are about to walk two kilometers ahead."
From the passenger seat in the car, Youmeng looked down at the screen in his hand and said calmly.
"Is there a target ahead?"
Li Tianlan had been looking out the window quietly, and turned around when he heard You Meng speak.
"There is a village about twelve kilometers ahead. The villagers have already been evacuated. It should be a gathering place for a certain force. It is most likely a force belonging to the East Island, but it is not clear what organization it is."
Youmeng fiddled with the screen in his hand, shook his head and said: "The radar signal ahead is very strong, so we can only sneak in on foot to investigate."
Li Tianlan nodded. Their car was now painted with the paint of a stealth fighter. With some special bodywork, it would be difficult to be spotted if you didn't look carefully when driving in the dark. Although this paint can block radar signals, , but if it is too close, it will be completely ineffective. Vehicles and fighters are different after all. A distance of more than ten kilometers is not a distance at all to a stealth fighter. If a stealth fighter can invade an area of ten kilometers from the target, it will be destroyed. Sex is unimaginable, but the car can only move a little bit. Even if it is coated with this precious paint, they can't really get close to the enemy's hinterland.
What's more, their operation this time is not a battle, investigation is the most important task.
Momo put a cigarette to his lips, Li Tianlan fumbled for a lighter on his body, nodded and said vaguely: "Then go two kilometers forward and sneak in on foot."
Youmeng nodded, continued to stare at the screen in his hand, and said no more.
Li Tianlan fumbled for a long time but couldn't find the lighter. He turned his head inadvertently and met a pair of quiet eyes as clear as water. The expression on that beautiful face was very soft, but the other person's eyes were looking at the cigarette in his mouth.
"No more smoking."
Dongcheng shook his head, holding a lighter in his white hand and said: "It will leave a smell. If there is an accident later, it will be inconvenient to evacuate."
Li Tianlan smiled, took the cigarette out of his mouth, thought for a moment and said, "With our lineup, there's not much of a problem."
Zhongzhou attaches great importance to this reconnaissance mission, and has dispatched six or seven reconnaissance teams in each of the three defense zones. The number of people varies. Li Tianlan and his group belong to the No. 3 defense zone. They may not have the most people in each reconnaissance team. But the strength is the strongest. Their reconnaissance team consists of five people, including Youmeng, Mu Ying, Li Tianlan, Du Hanyin and Dongcheng. It is a standard special operations team configuration, but its functions are relatively vague.
You Meng and Mu Ying are top assassins in their own right. They are experts in both lurking and detecting. Du Hanyin has the aura, which makes him a natural assassin. After the aura mutated, the senior who has now joined the City of Sighs can't help but recover. Strength, and even closer, the twenty-seven-year-old peak master of the Burning Fire Realm is enough to advance and retreat freely in most situations.
As for Li Tianlan, his current strength may not be as good as You Meng and Mu Ying, but in terms of the secrets of movement and speed, he is only stronger than You Meng and Mu Ying. Shadow Zi Jue, Tao Jue Chasing Life, Dark Night Walk , these are the top body skills inheritance in the dark world. Now the three secret skills are integrated in Li Tianlan. In terms of mobility, he is definitely the number one person of the younger generation. There may be many people who Li Tianlan cannot fight now. , but if he wants to leave, there are not many people who can stop him. With this investigation operation, his safety can also be guaranteed.
The only variable is that Dongcheng is like this.
This talented girl from Yaochi specializes in the Heavenly Flying Immortal Sword and the Wandao Unparalleled Sword among the Seven Swords of Yaochi. One form is extremely fierce killing, and the other is unparalleled domineering, which perfectly fits the famous sword of Yaochi. She was interested, but it had nothing to do with sneaking. Li Tianlan didn’t intend to bring her here at first, but Dongcheng Luna strongly requested to act with him. With Mu Ying and You Meng present, this operation was basically It was absolutely foolproof. Li Tianlan thought about it and simply brought her over. However, he did not expect that Dongcheng Moon Goddess, who was clamoring for action with him, fell silent halfway. Seeing the cute Dongcheng appear next to him, Li Tianlan didn't know what he was thinking when he saw the dazed expression on his fiancée's face.
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
Dongcheng's pure eyes blinked, he reached out and shook Li Tianlan's hand, and said in a clear tone.
The voice was very beautiful, very delicate, but with unwavering determination.
Li Tianlan smiled bitterly, looked at her deeply, and said calmly: "Follow me later."
Dongcheng said obediently and subconsciously touched the ancient sword beside him.
The famous sword is silent!
With this sword in hand, Dongcheng is fully qualified to protect anyone. It is no exaggeration to say that if she is determined to die, she can become one of the strongest in the decisive battle on Dongdao, the invincible sword among the Silent Swords. The idea perfectly matched hers. Once Dongcheng drew his sword, it would be a truly invincible blow. How terrible that sword costing his life was, Li Tianlan didn't want to think about it, nor did he dare to think about it.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and looked at the silence placed in Dongcheng Ruzhi's hand, silently.
The sword of Silence was ancient and simple, and the scabbard was densely covered with cracks. That day in Kyoto, Dongcheng Ru had already decided to draw the sword. Although the sword was pushed back, it basically destroyed the scabbard, except for the scabbard. It cracked but never fell apart, and the sword intent contained inside became more and more turbulent. Every time Li Tianlan stared at it, he could clearly feel the fierce murderous intent in the scabbard that was enough to kill all living beings.
"I can't get to your point tonight."
Li Tianlan looked at Dongcheng's pure eyes that could not be stared at, and said seriously: "No matter what, you are not allowed to draw your sword, do you understand?"
Dongcheng was stunned for a moment and looked directly at Li Tianlan. After a long time, she said softly: "I want to protect you."
"Bullshit."
Li Tianlan laughed and cursed, stretched out his hand to pinch her delicate little nose, and patted the box next to him with his other hand: "Did you see it? This is Tianzhi, the Tianzhi studied by your family. Your godfather When you gave me this gun, you said that it is a man’s duty to protect his family. When will it be my family’s turn to protect me?”
"family?"
Dongcheng looked at Li Tianlan with burning eyes. His pure eyes seemed a little shy, but he looked into his eyes bravely.
Li Tianlan coughed dryly, shook his head and said, "No matter what, you can't draw your sword."
Dongcheng's eyes flickered like this, a smile line slightly raised at the corner of his mouth, and he said no more.
The commercial vehicle stopped in the night.
Ahead is a T-intersection, and directly ahead is a forest.
"right here."
Youmeng turned off the screen in his hand and said: "Through this forest, there is a village ten kilometers away, which is also the target of our investigation."
"Set off."
Li Tianlan opened the car door without hesitation.
The No. 3 defense area planned by Zhongzhou is about 30 kilometers in radius. There is only one village in this area, but it is the largest of the four villages in the entire battlefield. It is now certain that there are forces stationed in the village. And it is most likely a local force in the East Island, but no one is sure which one it is.
Once the decisive battle breaks out, at least in the No. 3 Defense Zone, this will definitely be the hardest bone to crack, so the strongest reconnaissance team in the No. 3 Defense Zone will be investigating this area.
Understanding their approximate personnel, the forces they belong to, and the strength of their senior personnel is crucial to Zhongzhou's next battle plan.
In the overall general trend, Dongdao is undoubtedly in a weak position, but in the decisive battle, Dongdao is the strongest party. They have suppressed everything and have no way out. Regardless of the major forces, Whether or not we win this time, at least there is room for compromise. At worst, we will lose some elites to negotiate with Dongdao. But if Dongdao loses, it will mean a complete collapse of the special warfare system, the collapse of Dongdao's economy, and a series of serious consequences. As a result, they simply cannot afford to lose.
The stronger you are, the weaker you are.
Dongdao attempts to win the decisive battle to reverse the situation and gain bargaining chips with several other major forces, while the other major forces are also eyeing it, looking for opportunities to give Dongdao a fatal blow at any time.
The seven-day agreement mentioned by Miyamoto Shinichi, the invincible master of East Island, is no longer a secret. At least every major force knows about it. It is already the third day, and the undercurrent of Nagashima has become more and more intense. obvious.
Not only is Central Continent conducting reconnaissance operations, the clubhouse where Central Continent’s elites are lurking has also been investigated by major forces. The places where several major forces are most likely to lurk are visited by hostile masters almost every day. The forces are all looking for opportunities, but each force is maintaining restraint.
But as time goes by, the decisive battle will become closer and closer.
Dongdao cannot be allowed to take the initiative to trigger a decisive battle. This is the consensus that every force knows. Dongdao has now locked the foothold of the major forces, but has always remained silent and never acted. This does not mean that they are cowardly. It can only be said that they are now They are not fully prepared yet, but the seven-day period is getting closer and closer. Once Dongdao actually waits to take action, it basically means that they have considerable confidence.
Therefore, moving ahead and letting them fight passively when Dongdao is not fully prepared is the unanimous demand of every major force except Dongdao.
Could it be that the investigation operations in Zhongzhou were not another aspect of temptation and coercion
In the silent night, as Li Tianlan got out of the car, Youmeng, Muying, Dongcheng Rushu and Du Hanyin all got out of the business car.
Five people cautiously entered the woods in front of them at the same time.
"Be careful."
Youmeng said in a solemn tone: "Since the other party has occupied the village, they will not let go of the woods. They must have ambushes and traps in the woods."
"You Meng and Du Ying are walking in front. Let's follow up and be decisive when encountering situations. Let's go."
Li Tianlan said calmly.
The five figures moved in unison, charging swiftly and cautiously into the depths of the dense forest.
one kilometer.
Calm and calm.
Two kilometers.
There was silence.
The five people's movements became more and more careful.
Five kilometers deep, Li Tianlan finally encountered the first patrol team from the village, but before they could warn them, Youmeng had already killed them immediately.
Seven kilometers deep.
The number of patrols continued to increase.
Youmeng's figure, which had been moving forward, suddenly stopped.
Almost at the same time, the five people squatted down together and hid in the bushes in front of them.
Through the gap in the grass, thirty meters away, a patrol team of only three people walked over under the starlight, looking relaxed and casual.
Master!
The eyes of the five people shrank at the same time.
Youmeng seemed to know one of the three people. He narrowed his eyes and said in a weak voice: "Thunder Peak."
The five people were silent and motionless.
But the patrol consisting of three people walked straight towards the bushes.
"Get ready to take action."
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes, the dangerous light in his eyes flashed continuously, and his attention was highly concentrated.
The distance between the two sides keeps getting closer.
Ten meters, five meters, three meters.
The most important master of the Thunder Realm came over slowly, and as if he wanted to make it easier, he unzipped his trousers directly towards the bushes.
Youmeng, who had gathered his murderous intent to its peak, suddenly burst into flames.
But he hadn't waited for her to take action yet.
The faint blue electric light spread all over the mountains and forests in an instant.
"boom!"
The air within a radius of tens of meters became violently distorted, and Youmeng's rising figure stagnated.
In the sight of several people, a dark figure appeared behind the East Island Thunder Realm master almost out of thin air.
A dazzling light suddenly lit up, and in an instant, the violent sound was almost earth-shattering.
You Meng never took action.
The figure that suddenly appeared struck with all its strength, and the entire forest seemed to be shaking.
The lightning shot through the sky and shot straight down from high in the sky. For a moment, everyone could only see the dazzling light.
The flashes of swords and swords continued to spread in the lightning, and the entire forest was instantly filled with violent and decisive killing intent.
The moment the light spread, Dongcheng's pure eyes suddenly became bright, and were then completely covered by the faint blue light.
The figure that suddenly appeared disappeared in the light.
Li Tianlan's body stiffened slightly.
A cold voice suddenly sounded at the moment when the light came on and disappeared.
"What are you going to do?!"
The lightning finally dissipated.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the body of Dongdao's thunder realm master had completely exploded.
But Du Hanyin, who had been at the end, suddenly took a step forward. She raised the two swords in her hands, pointing directly at Dongcheng Rusuo.
Li Tianlan turned his head in astonishment. In his sight, Dong Cheng had a calm expression, but his whole body was already close to his back.
She held the famous sword Silence tightly in one hand.
The other hand held a dagger that Li Tianlan had never seen before.
The dagger has been unsheathed, the blade is scarlet and carved with gorgeous and complicated golden patterns.
At this moment, Du Hanyin's double sword blades were already placed on Dongcheng Rushi's neck, and Dongcheng Rushi's body was closer to Li Tianlan than ever before.
The huge power in the field has not disappeared, and there are waves of aftermath roaring in the air, but this space suddenly becomes quiet.
Dongcheng Ru looked at Li Tianlan quietly.
Li Tianlan looked at Du Hanyin seriously.
Du Hanyin looked at Dongcheng coldly.
