Chapter 537 - Beat the Gongs and Withdraw the Army
“You should have told me earlier,” murmured Jiang Chen helplessly after a good while.
Before the three people beside him could pose any questions, he said, “The ward the Dragon Rebel Army is going to deploy only needs seven cities in the basin to work, no matter where they’re located.
“But since there’s Black Yellow Gas, I’m sure they’ll build the seven cities at strategic locations.”
Then, looking towards the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop, he asked, “Can the ward of the map detect underground conditions?”
The commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop shook his head right away. He said, “No, the algorithm used for detection doesn’t include underground.”
Then he said with hesitation, “That being said, if you know how the Black Yellow Gas moves underground, we can take our findings back to the warship so that the masters can work out another algorithm. That way, we’ll know where the cities built at the strategic gates of the Black Yellow Gas are located.”
“That’s right. I know a few of the characteristics of underground Black Yellow Gas that can be used for the algorithm.” That was exactly what Jiang Chen had wanted to hear.
Every time their fingertips touched the table, a strange rune would appear.
As the best masters of the dynasty, they showed their high performance.
When they had finished, they looked towards the three-dimensional map nervously. Du Zhenfei and his lieutenant were staring at the map as well, completely focused.
The densely packed yellow dots were disappearing from the map in batches.
In the end, only around three hundred of the thousands of yellow dots remained, which reflected the reality of the basin.
“It’s correct. It’s correct!”
The three masters were the most excited. They added the second equation given by Jiang Chen without being urged.
Soon, under the yellow dots on the 3D map, red rays appeared.
“General, the red rays represent the strategic gates where there’s Black Yellow Gas. It doesn’t contradict the first equation, but wherever the red ray is, there’s a city. This can’t be a coincidence. This means the two equations are practically flawless!” The master who had been in low spirits was glowing. He even raised his voice.
“Inform the battle groups to eliminate these seven cities at all costs!” Du Zhenfei said.
It wasn’t time to beat the gongs and withdraw the army, since they had found the key to turn the tide.
“General, these two equations are both from the lieutenant of the Red Flame Battalion, Jiang Chen, the same youngster who found the existence of the ward?”
“Yes. And you said if he really had found it on his own, his skill in tactical formation would make him one of the best in the Realm of True Force. It’s him,” Du Zhenfei said.
“No, no, no. Not one of the best. Now we’re sure. He’s the best master in the Realm of True Force. We want to be his apprentices and learn from him!”
The three masters were more than 50 years old, but they were behaving like three impulsive teenagers.
“If he had been on the warship, he would have known the blue rays were untouchable, and we wouldn’t have lost the Flying Dragon Cannon,” Du Zhenfei murmured.
The others in the cabin also realized that if they had kept Jiang Chen there, they wouldn’t have fallen into such a bad situation.
“General, we were just following the process. That was the only way to keep spies out of the management team.”
“That’s right, but now we know he’s trustworthy,” Du Zhenfei said helplessly.
