Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 880 The Earth Demons Go Around to the East

"Lord of the Domain, indeed, something seems amiss tonight. Could it be that the idiot failed to hold his position?"

Chen Qingxuan stared at the sea with a gloomy expression before answering.

"No, we must trust Chu Chen. He will definitely be able to hold this line of defense."

"However, we cannot let our guard down. If any escapees manage to break through our defenses, then the people behind us will truly have no way out!"

As Yiyun spoke, she led the two back to the camp.

Then he summoned several of his generals and began to plan and arrange the defenses.

"Lord of the Domain, what if they attack a different coastline? Wouldn't our defenses be completely useless then?"

One stubborn general immediately voiced his thoughts.

After listening, Yiyun didn't say anything, but instead considered the possibility of this situation.

North of Oxtail City lies Joy City, but Joy City is only one step away from the nearest coastline. Beyond that lies the undeveloped land to the east.

If they really wanted to take a detour, it would take them much longer.

Moreover, to reach the inhabited city of Joy from the eastern coastline, one must traverse a range of mountains and rivers, a perilous journey.

Normal people wouldn't go to great lengths for something that's close by, but what if they weren't normal?

Thinking of this, Yiyun immediately said to the general, "You, arrange for five thousand soldiers to patrol along the coastline. If anything unusual is found, fire the Cloud Piercing Arrow!"

Upon hearing this, the general immediately accepted the order and left.

This cloud-piercing arrow was also made of gunpowder invented by Yiyun, so they currently possessed a musket.

However, most of their soldiers were experts at the Celestial Realm, so these gunpowder guns, which were difficult to load, were not as useful as the long swords they carried, and therefore they were not equipped with them.

While they were discussing this, countless pipes were installed on the surface of the sea near Oxtail City in the darkness of night.

But then, as if they had received some kind of order, they turned around and swam towards the sea east of Niuwei City, disappearing into the night in no time.

Not long after they left, the sound of helicopters clicking away appeared in the sky above Oxtail City.

Yiyun was already resting when she heard the sound of the helicopter, so she rushed out of her room.

"Chu Chen, how's it going with Shenyuan?"

"The situation is currently under control, but some escapees may have already reached the Xuan Tian Continent. Have you not been attacked here?"

As soon as Chu Chen got off the plane, he went to Yi Yun's side and asked anxiously.

"No, everything is perfectly calm, just like usual."

Chu Chen frowned immediately after hearing this, and then asked, "Does your defense line cover the entire coastline, or only Niuwei City?"

"Since the rest of the coastline is ancient and undeveloped land, the only defensive line is Oxtail City."

"But just two hours ago, I sent five thousand soldiers to the east, where the city might be breached. They will issue a warning if anything unusual happens."

"The east side? Tell me about the situation!"

As they talked, the two headed toward the camp's command post.

Then, they started discussing it on a large map.

Chu Chen looked at the map of the entire Xuan Tian Continent, which resembled a bull, and immediately fell into deep thought.

Half an hour later, the two came out of the command post.

"Alright, Yiyun, you stay here in Niuwei City with them. As for the east, leave it to me!"

"Then you must be careful."

"Heh, you know my abilities. Don't worry, these so-called earth demons pose no threat to me!"

After saying that, Chu Chen boarded the helicopter and directed the pilot to fly towards Joy City.

According to Chu Chen's own analysis, those Earth Demons who broke through the defenses, unless they were completely out of their minds, would definitely be heading east at this moment.

Because Yiyun had already deployed a massive army of 100,000 experts at the Heavenly God Realm in Niuwei City.

Attacking Niuwei City would be tantamount to suicide. The logical approach would be to bypass Niuwei City and head east.

If they go west, they'll have to take a much longer route, and it will take them at least a month to get there.

Moreover, they couldn't withstand prolonged diving.

The helicopter, like a bright star in the night, flew low over Oxtail City and then sped off westward.

As we passed through Joy City, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Chu Chen didn't stop to check the direction of Joy City, but headed straight for the western coast.

Immediately afterwards, they traversed towering primeval forests and ancient rivers.

Looking at the situation below the helicopter, Chu Chen frowned, thinking that if they weren't stopped at the coastline, it would be extremely difficult to find and eliminate them once they entered this primeval forest.

At that time, I'm afraid the entire human society will be unable to get a good night's sleep.

"Young master, we should be able to make it in time. Although they dive very fast, it will only take us less than an hour to get here."

Even including last night's flight, they couldn't possibly have landed before us!

Listening to Xiao Ai's analysis, Chu Chen nodded slightly.

Xiao Ai is right. No matter how fast they go, they can't outrun the speed of their own helicopter.

Moreover, they would definitely go to Niuwei City first to confirm that it was heavily guarded before heading to the eastern sea area.

This inadvertently increases the distance traveled.

"Hehe, you're right, but it's always good to be prepared. Who knows when they'll get through our lines?"

Chu Chen looked towards the sea and spoke to Xiao Ai.

The helicopter soon arrived at the coastline. Chu Chen did not order it to stop, but instead had it fly around the entire coastline.

If they want to land, they need a convenient landing point; ordinary cliffs and steep slopes are too difficult for them to climb.

After wandering around for a while, Chu Chen found two of the most suitable places to land.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen lowered the helicopter to the first landing point and brought Xiao Ai to the ground.

Then he instructed the pilot: "You stay in the air and scout. If there is anything unusual, come back and tell me."

After saying that, he and Xiao Ai set up the coastline.

Since he didn't know how many enemies there were, Chu Chen only deployed 5,000 machine gunners to ambush them.

Once we confirm the situation of the Earth Demons, there will be enough time to make arrangements.
