Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que were relieved to confirm that their opponents were no longer moving, and together they looked up at Chen Chuan .

Seeing him walking slowly with his Long Sword in hand, a metallic head hanging from his waist, wisps of white air rising from his body, and although he didn't deliberately release his Biological Field, an invisible pressure emanated from him.

Yuan Qiu Yuan swallowed, trying to calm his breathing, and after looking at the head again and again, couldn't help but say, "Captain, is it resolved?"

Chen Chuan walked up to them and nodded, saying, "It's resolved, but there are still some loose ends to take care of."

Yuan Qiu Yuan walked over, clicking his tongue twice. "That's Iron Demon, those people at Base turn pale at the mention of him. And that aura just now, wow, it was really impressive." He reached out and poked the head. "Look, didn't we still take care of him."

Qin Qing Que seriously corrected, "It was Captain who took care of him."

"Hey, Captain said we're a team. What Captain solves is what we solve."

"Executive Officer Yuan is right," Chen Chuan said. "We're a team. Without your help in holding them back, I wouldn't have been able to take care of Iron Demon so easily."

Yuan Qiu Yuan straightened his back, but then he chuckled and said, "Captain, putting it that way, Old Yuan knows very well who's really capable. From now on, I'll only listen to you, I won't acknowledge anyone else."

Qin Qing Que didn't say anything, but her expression conveyed the same meaning.

Chen Chuan smiled, then reminded them, "Pay attention to your Activity Index."

After all, this was the wilderness, without the Base's energy field connection. If they were too far apart, they wouldn't be able to see each other's Activity Index. Now that they were closer, he found that both of them had reached over twenty, but fortunately they hadn't crossed the warning line, which should be the result of their conscious control.

Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que were both startled and acknowledged. They had been keeping that string taut during the battle, but once they relaxed, they found that the index was rising again, so they quickly guided their Breathing Technique to slowly bring the value back down.

At this moment, they couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan "s value, and found that it was still "zero", which made them even more admired.

They knew that it was okay for the index to go down, but the more you suppressed it, the harder it became. Chen Chuan had just fought Iron Demon, and the pressure was much higher than theirs. It hadn't been a few minutes since the end of the battle, and the index had dropped to zero in such a short time. This kind of self-restraint and control over the body was truly amazing.

At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly sensed something. Yuan and Qin also noticed it. The three of them looked back together and saw that all the remaining Mounted Warriors had gathered together. At this moment, they were facing this way, reorganizing their formation, and soon formed a charging stance.

Yuan Qiu Yuan was a little strange. "What do they want to do? Do they want to charge us with these people?"

A group of Second Limit cavalrymen trying to deal with their three Third-Limit Martial Artists, was this deliberately seeking death? Were these subordinates of Iron Demon so loyal to him?

Qin Qing Que observed for a while, thought about it, and said to Chen Chuan , "Captain, the front row is blocking the back, but I saw that they seem to have brought Grappling Hooks. They might not be used to deal with us, but to try to retrieve the corpses on the ground."

"We can't give them back. These are our spoils of war."

Yuan Qiu Yuan shouted. He immediately ran to the Off-road vehicle. After reaching the side of the car, he reached out, flipped over from the top, and then grabbed the machine gun. "Captain, leave these little things to us. We also need to have a chance to show off."

Chen Chuan said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Okay, watch me. I've been trained."

Qin Qing Que said, "I'll drive." She quickly got into the car. Soon, the Off-road vehicle started and drove towards the cavalry in front.

When the other side saw them driving the car up, the formation seemed to be a little scattered, but they quickly adjusted and drove their horses forward.

Chen Chuan shook his head. Everyone probably knew the result of charging against a machine gun. Even implant-modified horses with armor couldn't stop the heavy machine gun's strafing.

However, these people should have no choice. According to the Imperial Family's military tradition, it seems that if the superior dies, the bodyguards must be beheaded, and if the body cannot be retrieved, the entire team will be held accountable, not to mention that this team was built by Iron Demon himself, and their loyalty was beyond doubt.

Soon, the sound of machine gun strafing came from behind, as well as the screams of war horses and the sound of heavy objects falling. All of this was drowned in the large amount of dust raised.

Chen Chuan ignored it. He stood by the river bank, sticking his knife into the ground, looking at the flowing water in front of him, and thinking about the changes in Iron Demon's body just now.

He believed that the completeness of Spirit and body shouldn't be like Iron Demon's.

Admittedly, when they first encountered each other, his Spirit, body, and the use of Internal energy Skills had almost no shortcomings in all aspects, but in fact, these were all loose. As they fought, it gradually became difficult to coordinate all aspects.

He didn't know if it was the lack of a Strength to condense them together, or if the thing in his body hindered him.

He thought about it, maybe both reasons were true.

Then he wondered what true completeness was like.

About half an hour later, the sound outside gradually stopped. The Off-road vehicle drove back from the rolling Dust. As the dust gradually dissipated, what was revealed was a ground full of wreckage and blood. The limbs of people and horses could no longer be distinguished.

After the car stopped in front of him, Yuan Qiu Yuan jumped down from the top and said, "Captain, it's all cleaned up. But the number is a bit wrong."

Qin Qing Que came out of the driver's seat and said, "Captain, two teams of people went to the rear, presumably to find the shallows of the river so as to encircle us from both sides. They shouldn't have arrived yet."

Chen Chuan said, "Since they came out to hunt us down, then try to clean them up. It doesn't matter if you can't catch them, these people can't escape."

"Yes."

The two team members responded together. After this victory, their morale was very high, and they had become very convinced of Chen Chuan .

But first, the things here had to be dealt with. In particular, the body of Iron Demon had to be completely burned to prevent future troubles.

At the same time, the Armor, accompanying Documents Jade Seal, and other important items of this person and his subordinates had to be taken back as proof of identity.

And after all this was cleaned up, another half an hour had passed. But still, they didn't see the figures of the Mounted Warriors who had been split off. If these people hadn't detoured back, they had received the message halfway and fled. But they still had to chase.

Chen Chuan looked at the gradually extinguished fire, and when he saw that the things there had been completely reduced to ashes, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go."

Qin Qing Que took a few steps forward, opened the car door for Chen Chuan , and saluted. "Captain, please get in the car."

Chen Chuan hummed and got into the car. After the vehicle started, he looked at the sky. Counting the time it took to deal with the battle, it was about three hours.

He didn't expect the battle to end so quickly. He had thought beforehand that if the two sides were in a stalemate, would this battle drag on into the night?

Although he was not unprepared, he had drawn rituals on the outer clothes of the two teammates beforehand, but the key was the Activity Index, which was too variable.

However, judging from the battle situation, Iron Demon had no intention of doing that at all, perhaps he was also afraid of the night, or he was eager to decide the outcome and didn't want to be surrounded.

From this point of view, the intelligence deception that Consultant Rao came up with was actually very useful, and played a key role in promoting it, and might even be able to fish out an internal traitor.

At this time, he said, "Executive Officer Qin, did those cavalrymen have Radios with them?"

Qin Qing Que replied, "Captain, no, they should have transferred them in advance. But if they learn that Iron Demon was killed, they will probably destroy the Radios, so it will be difficult to trace the source from the traces."

Chen Chuan said, "Then don't force it." This was not their business in the first place. It would be best if they could help find clues, but it didn't matter if they couldn't. They just had to do their part.

When they followed the traces left by the cavalrymen to the rear, they found that the cavalry team had stayed here before, but they had obviously dispersed and evacuated.

After discussing it, they felt that the remaining cavalrymen were no longer a threat, so they didn't chase after them anymore.

Chen Chuan said, "Executive Officer Qin, you can send a message to the rear. Also, thank Consultant Rao by the way." He knew that intelligence deception was not that simple, and Consultant Rao definitely took a risk.

"Yes, Captain."

Inside Base Seventy-Three, Consultant Rao had been waiting in front of the Radio. He was always very worried, both for Chen Chuan and his party, and also for himself.

As Chen Chuan had guessed, intelligence deception was something to be used at critical moments. If it didn't work, he would be held responsible.

At this time, the Telegram operator looked up and said, "Consultant, a Telegram is coming."

"It's here? Hurry!"

Consultant Rao urged. Being able to receive a Telegram meant that the people were okay, which was not the worst outcome.

After the Telegram operator wrote down the telegram code, he didn't need to translate it at all. He directly took it over to read. First, his eyes widened, and then his hands trembled. The joy on his face could no longer be suppressed.

However, after reading it repeatedly, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he sent a message back to confirm. After two rounds of messages back and forth, the other side said that they would bring back Iron Demon's head and his personal belongings. Only then did he relax.

With a smile on his face, he instructed the Telegram operator, "Send a message to the Command Center, tell them..."

Speaking of this, he slowed down his speech, trying to make his words clear.

"It is confirmed that at approximately 10:00 AM today, Iron Demon and his subordinates encountered an elite squad that took the initiative to attack in the middle reaches of the river section numbered twenty-four."

He paused.

"After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, Iron Demon and two Imperial Retainer Warriors under his command were successfully beheaded, and more than thirty elite Mounted Warriors were annihilated,

with only a dozen or so riders escaping.

Note: This squad is led by First-Class Executive Officer Chen Chuan, and the members under his command are Yuan Qiu Yuan, Qin Qing Que, tactical advisor Rao Qili, etc..."

At this time, he looked at his watch, "Time, November 26th, 2:23 PM." He raised his head and said to the Telegram operator, "Report it like this."
