Chapter 538 - Another Crisis
Out of the warship, in the Black Dragon Troop, the Black Dragon General also heard the news.
“Report! General, we intercepted a letter sent to the enemy’s warship.”
It was a piece of paper, but the Black Dragon General knitted his brows tightly after throwing a few glances at it.
“Bring the military counselor here,” the Black Dragon General said seriously.
Murong Long, not far away, had a hunch that something bad had happened. He also looked serious.
Soon, the military counselor of the Black Dragon Troop walked over slowly. He was walking so slowly not because he wanted to, but because he was physically weak.
He was a nearly bald old man who wasn’t far from his death. He walked with a cane, bending his back.
The blue rays had first gushed out from the cracks on the ground and were then released into the sky to form a wall.
This hint helped Zhao Wenhao. He said, “To stop the blue rays from appearing, we have to do it before they appear. These blue rays are energy that’s already been released. We can either get rid of them with great effort or…”
“Wait until they disappear,” Jiang Chen finished for him. “And the Dragon Rebel Army will probably be able to do it again, maintaining the blue rays persistently.”
“There’s nothing we can do?” Zhao Wenhao said, unsatisfied with such an answer.
“We don’t have the spare force to deal with them. But after the disappearance of these blue rays, before they release the next batch of them, we’ll have five minutes,” Jiang Chen said.
“Lieutenant Jiang, where did you learn all of this?” the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop couldn’t help but ask.
His question piqued the curiosity of many people. Zhang Tianyi, who had been totally convinced by Jiang Chen, also looked at him, expecting his answer.
“At home,” Jiang Chen told the truth.
Unfortunately, no one believed him.
At this moment, they heard the sound of the horn and saw the Dragon Rebel Army appear not far away.
And it wasn’t the War Chariot Troop, which was cannon fodder, but the Black Dragon Troop and the Holy Wind Troop, led by senior generals of the Dragon Rebel Army.
“This is one of the more dreadful things about the wall of blue rays. They can send reinforcements anytime, but we can’t,” Zhao Wenhao said.
“Our message must have been intercepted. Have they come to prevent us from destroying the seven cities?”
“No. They seem to have come for Jiang Chen!”
The commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop noticed the Dragon Rebel Army was only paying close attention to the Red Flame Battalion. He realized right away that things were not good for them.
“General Zhao, did the letter give away Jiang Chen’s identity?”
“I reported his basic information briefly and codified it. They couldn’t have decoded it so quickly!”
Zhao Wenhao found it hard to believe. He said, “I thought it would taken them at least take three days to decode it, when the war would have been over.”
“Jiang Chen, this is my fault.” Looking at Jiang Chen, he apologized.
“No, you’re not the one to blame.”
Gazing at the approaching Dragon Rebel Army, Jiang Chen’s eyes landed on a figure that was familiar to him.
