Chapter 553 - Thank You for Your Help
The senior general hadn’t expected the military counselor to be so mad that he would sacrifice their lives to fulfill his own goal.
“Retreat! Retreat now!”
The senior general, looking down on the military counselor, was scared out of his wits. He knew perfectly well how powerful the killing formation was.
The world outside of the city started to collapse, turning into an abyss. The sky was covered in crimson clouds that transformed into a demon, charging down in a threatening manner.
“Aah!”
Unexpected screams could be heard. Those in the killing formation were wrapped in foam and lost control of their own bodies.
The foam shattered along with the men inside when the crimson clouds fell.
Both the soldiers from the Dragon Rebel Army and Jiang Chen’s side were within the attacking range of the killing formation.
Their excitement misled the surrendering soldiers from the Dragon Rebel Army. They thought Jiang Chen was a senior general in the upper troop.
They were confused when they saw Jiang Chen’s armor was of the seventh rank of the secondary class.
There was no way they could feel the same thing that those of the three troops and the four battalions were feeling. After learning about Jiang Chen, they were convinced he had made all kinds of miracles, especially this time, when even the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion, who had a grudge against Jiang Chen, were shouting out his name.
Without Jiang Chen, the three troops and the four battalions would all have been killed there by the tactical formations and the wards deployed by the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop.
However, Jiang Chen had taken advantage of the final killing formation to decrease the casualties to the minimum.
It was even fair to say it had been the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop who had helped them capture the city.
Facing the soldiers’ frenetic admiration, Jiang Chen stayed calm. He was even a bit anxious, looking around in the city.
Zhao Wenhao found it strange, following him.
Soon, they came to where the Black Yellow Gas was being exploited. It was a bottomless pit, looking like it led to an underground world.
Beside the pit were a few giant chariots. Thick and long pipes that were connected to them extended into the pit.
It was through these pipes that the Black Yellow Gas was drawn.
Jiang Chen climbed into a chariot and intended to drive it away immediately.
“Jiang Chen, what are you doing?!” Zhao Wenhao was given a good scare. Walking over quickly, he said, “The Black Yellow Gas is an important secret that’s unknown to average soldiers. Soldiers aren’t allowed to take it for their own use.”
Even the average soldiers of the Black Dragon Troop had no idea what they were exploiting, as fences used to isolate holy awareness had been built around the pit.
“I have to drive at least one away, or maybe even more than that,” said Jiang Chen.
“Don’t worry. The war merit points you’ve earned are enough to exchange for all of this, but we’ll have to follow the process,” Zhao Wenhao said.
“No, I can’t wait. There’s not much time left.”
Looking towards the valley, Jiang Chen started all of the chariots.
