It took five full days to conquer Shangzhou, but Gou Chengwen Dao's face was always gloomy like a lead cloud. The soldiers under his command knew why the lord was upset, and wisely not to annoy him.
It's perfectly normal to be upset.
The Shangzhou they captured was in ruins. All the people had been evacuated in advance, and all the buildings had been destroyed by human beings, not even a complete house could be found. Shangzhou's entrance to the sea is too narrow, not to mention large warships, even medium-sized warships cannot enter. During the five days in Shangzhou, there was heavy rain on four days. With everyone's physique, there is no need to worry about getting sick from the rain, but the impact on the mood is also real.
Seeing the mud everywhere and staying in the narrow small battleship, you can imagine everyone's mood.
Even the fragrant and pleasant sun tea has lost some of its flavor at this time.
"My lord is still worried about SAARC?" Zeke glanced at Gocheng Wendao with a livid face in the distance, and picked up the teacup with a leisurely expression.
The three generals under Gou Cheng Wen Dao's command have their own characteristics, Cliff is resolute, honest and down-to-earth, and Zeke is naturally quick-witted. The three have cooperated with each other for many years and have a perfect understanding. They tactfully avoided the boss. At this time, they bumped into the muzzle of the gun and angered the boss. If he was hacked to death, his death would be in vain.
However, the capture of Shangzhou at any rate, the continuous hard battle some time ago made everyone's nerves highly tense and mentally exhausted. At this time, there was finally a time to relax and rest, and the three of them sat together, sipping tea around the fire, and relaxing.
Ken nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The other party gave up Shangzhou so easily, there must be someone behind him, we can't take it lightly."
Zeke said disapprovingly: "I think you guys are overthinking. They can only retreat, and only by retreating can they gain strategic depth. Otherwise, are they here waiting to be ganged up by us?"
Ken was dumbfounded, and he couldn't give a reason for his rebuttal. It is true that a thin line of defense cannot provide enough protection for Shangzhou. Once it is broken through, the situation it faces will undoubtedly be even more dangerous.
Cliff said lightly, "Don't underestimate your opponent, Zeke."
Among the three, he is the oldest and most experienced. Zeke had stayed under his command back then, and it was he who personally promoted him and recommended him to the boss, so he was appreciated by Goucheng Wendao and thus led the army alone.
Zeke respected Cliff very much, and he was a little curious: "Do you think they can make any waves?"
Cliff was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I don't know what other plans they have, but I can't help but think of Xie Yu'an. This group of people has never lacked fighting spirit, and they have never given up so easily. Surrender is not theirs." style."
Cliff did not explain the reason from the situation, but only explained the opponent's style and character, but it was full of persuasiveness.
Ken nodded involuntarily, and Zeke's expression became serious. They have fought and stalemate with SAARC for so long, and they have a deep 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, and I'm really curious about their next move." Zeke's eyes flashed, his fighting spirit was high.
Seeing that Zeke put away his contempt, Cliff stopped talking and turned to Ken, "Did you find the entrance to the heavenly path?"
"No." Ken shook his head: "We have searched the entire Shangzhou, but we haven't found the star gate."
"It doesn't have to be a star gate." Zeke's mind turned the fastest, he thought for a while and said, "It's also possible that the star gate is not on the ground or in the air."
"Not on the ground and in the air?" Ken froze for a moment.
"Blue Marsh, don't forget the Blue Marsh." Zeke reminded.
"It's possible." Cliff also nodded: "The SAARC first appeared in Shangzhou. This information has been confirmed many times, and it is absolutely correct. If there are no stargates on the ground and in the air, the most likely place, then It can only be the Blue Swamp. Don’t forget, they once sold a considerable amount of ice and blue guns, obviously they once went deep into the Blue Swamp.”
"If it's the Blue Swamp, then it will be troublesome." Ken smiled wryly.
Ken has a honest personality, is meticulous in his work, and never finds it troublesome. Even if he said it was troublesome, it was really troublesome, and the expressions of the other two were not too good.
If we say that Savage Continent is isolated from the outside world, it has never been conquered. Then the vast mystery of the blue swamp is even more frightening. The trade route between Savage Continent and Guangming Continent has not been cut off, and everyone can get a lot of information 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. There are blue swamps on many continents, but what everyone is worried about is the blue tide. Smurfs are creatures that are inherently hostile to humans. No one knows what the depths of the blue swamp look like. There were many powerful people who wanted to find out, but no one came back alive.
If the star gate is really in the blue swamp, facing them, it is definitely a bad thing.
Now it seems that this possibility is very high.
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 the Bright Continent, and to us. We all took the Shang Continent, How can we back down at this time? Besides, we feel that it is difficult, so what about those people from the Southern Alliance? They arrived at the sanctuary from the heavenly road. Could it be that the threat of the Blue Swamp exists only for us?"
Ken and Zeke lifted their spirits when they heard the words.
"That's right!" Zeke's mind turned the fastest: "Since they can appear in Shangzhou, the star gate must be not far from Shangzhou."
Ken said without hesitation: "I'll send someone to search the nearby Blue Swamp immediately."
Cliff said decisively: "We search in three directions at the same time to increase efficiency!"
The three of them rushed into the rain curtain immediately, assembled the team, and set out to search the nearby Blue Swamp.
Finding the legendary star gate leading to the heavenly path is their most urgent goal right now. Even if you can't find it right away, at least you can lock the approximate location of the star gate. Of course, the South Alliance will not be caught without a fight, but as long as they find the star gate, all the counterattacks by the South Alliance will become a joke.
With the help of the living souls of Tianlu, they can grow rapidly, and the already stronger Guangming Continent will leave Nanmeng far behind. Bright Continent's years of soul research, although they have not been able to mass-produce living souls, they have found a way to use living souls.
As long as there are living souls, their strength will undergo a qualitative transformation in a very short period of time.
Outside the estuary of Shangzhou, warships were parked full of masts, and the scene was extremely spectacular. All the large and medium-sized warships and transport ships under Goucheng Wendao's command could not enter Shangzhou and could only berth outside the mouth of the sea.
The fortress that had just been built at the mouth of the sea was completely destroyed, and everyone could only be stationed on the battleship. However, from the people who went back and forth, I learned that the environment in Shangzhou was even worse. It was raining continuously, and even the adults had no houses and could only be crowded on small warships. Everyone was much more balanced.
Large battleships are amazingly large, very roomy, and very comfortable.
Out of prudent considerations, Goucheng Wendao ordered nearly half of the warships to maintain combat readiness in order to deal with possible harassment. In addition, the flexible small warships formed a formation, dozens of warships formed a tight patrol network to prevent small-scale sneak attacks by the enemy.
However, everyone is not too worried about this. After continuous fighting, everyone has a better understanding of the fighting methods of the SAARC. SAARC is good at intracontinental battle, is good at defending with fortifications, and is good at fighting in complex terrain, such as street fighting, such as fighting with the wreckage of warships.
What they are good at definitely does not include battleship duels.
Now that the two sides have changed places and occupied the estuary, the large battleship group is like a fortified fortress.
Attacking the fortress requires a huge battleship group to be able to achieve it. Infiltrating dozens of people can't pose any threat to such a huge battleship group.
So overall, everyone is quite relaxed. Although due to the strict order from above, everyone dared not come to a carnival and let off steam, but everyone was already looking forward to triumph.
The big picture is settled.
This is the thinking of many mid-level officers and soldiers. The enemy's old nest has been taken over by them, so what waves can the other party make? Take Shangzhou 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's going on tonight? I'm so bored. Hey, during the war, I was looking forward to rest. After only a few days of rest, I feel very bored!"
"You can only play cards, what else can you do?"
"Oh my god, I'm sick of seeing the cards! Who can come up with something new? Like a chick?"
"The entire Shangzhou doesn't even have a single person, why are you still looking for a girl?"
"If the boss knows that they are in the rain, and you are looking for girls, oh, this picture is too beautiful, I dare not look at it!" Wu Kai interjected at the right time, his face full of exaggeration.
The others roared with laughter.
"Then what fun do you have?" The soldier who was being teased stared at Wu Kai.
"Or we can have some excitement!" Wu Kai secretly smugly threw out the idea he had thought up a long time ago. He pointed to the huge energy vortex outside the window: "Did you see that big thing?"
Everyone was startled when they saw the energy ball.
That huge energy vortex, said to be formed during a great battle, is near the mouth of the sea. When they parked the battleship, they deliberately stayed away from it. Everyone was really worried that it would suddenly explode.
"You know the origin of this energy vortex." Wu Kai said hesitantly: "I heard that there are hundreds of soul objects in it!"
"Soul object!"
"Hundreds of pieces!"
…
The soldiers all exclaimed, their faces full of shock. Treasures like soul objects are priceless treasures in their eyes, and they can't be linked with hundreds of them.
"This news is absolutely unmistakable!" Wu Kai was full of mystery, and then instigated everyone: "Since we are so boring, why don't we have a vigorous treasure hunt? There are hundreds of soul objects lying there. Get one or two out of it, and we'll send it out!"
After a brief silence, everyone was ready to move.
