Chapter 55 Secret Mission
Lin Chuan quickly drafted the list of the 500 elite soldiers he selected. He selected elite soldiers among the various thousand-person teams, including Sith and Mu Xue and other officers with strong combat power. In addition, Lin Chuan also selected 100 new recruits to join his team, and Feng Qingyang, who was favored by him, was listed.
The order was soon issued, and these five hundred elite soldiers were taken to a heavily guarded camp when they didn't understand what the situation was.
Lin Chuan looked at the five hundred eyes with firmness and a strong aura, and nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Chuan took a step forward and said loudly: "You are going to follow me to perform a secret mission. Those who are unwilling to go now raise their hands. You can now exit and return to the original army and will not be investigated."
After hearing Lin Chuan's words, the five hundred soldiers still stood solemnly, and their faces did not change at all. As elite soldiers, they also had their own pride.
"I'll give you another chance. Now I can return to the original army. If I quit after announcing the mission, I will bear the consequences!"
"Okay, I'll announce the mission below!" Seeing that no one quit, Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction and began to announce the mission.
Lin Chuan: "This time our mission is to go to Bree Town to transport the treasures where the Lord of Teres was hidden. Because of the defects of intelligence, we know nothing about where we are. Therefore, please prepare for the battle."
"Start the group now!" After Lin Chuan announced the order, he began to team up the five hundred soldiers.
The five hundred elite soldiers come from the team of thousands of people, including the earliest Xingtu warriors, mountain warriors, and the newly recruited elite recruits from Tres, but without exception, they are all elites among the elites.
Sith, Mu Xue, Feng Qingyang, Tu Yue, and Thunderstorm were appointed as the five hundred-man teams. Except for Feng Qingyang, the rest of the people were old people who followed Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan knew the roots and bottom of it.
Feng Qingyang's appointment as the head of the Hundred People was obviously beyond his own expectations. After a moment of shock, he accepted the appointment excitedly. Regarding the newly promoted head of the Hundred People, the other four heads of the Hundred People nodded friendly, as if they knew each other.
All the soldiers involved in the mission distributed new weapons and equipment. Now the City of Teres is like a huge warehouse. The Dynasty army has hoarded a lot of things, and now it is all cheaper to Xing Tujun.
The lunch before departure was extremely sumptuous, which quickly swept away the 100 new soldiers including Feng Qingyang and others like the wind swept away the clouds. The rest of the veterans were stunned. This was the first time Feng Qingyang had eaten a full meal after entering Xingtu's army.
After nightfall, Lin Chuan took the cover of night to leave Tres with five hundred soldiers and headed towards the east.
Just after Lin Chuan and his friends walked past the refugee camp, several people with hatred eyes shining in their eyes hugged and quietly left the refugee camp beside the road, following Lin Chuan and the others.
…………
It was not until noon the next day that Lin Chuan ordered a rest. After a night of march, even though these five hundred soldiers were all strong physically qualified, they were exhausted.
"Come Fatty Lu." Lin Chuan opened the map and ordered towards the thunderstorm without hesitation.
Soon, the tax officer Lu Dong, who was captured by Lin Chuan, was brought over. Because of his obesity, he was almost carried away by Xingtu soldiers.
But even so, Lu Dong was still exhausted and panting, and dense beads of sweat covered his forehead.
Lin Chuan frowned and asked, "How far is it to reach Bree Town?"
Lu Dong pointed to the map for a long time but didn't point out the reason, which made Lin Chuan give up the idea of letting this pig-headed roadster lead the way.
"Sir, don't worry, the treasures accumulated there will be like mountains and will not run away." Perhaps seeing the anxiety on Lin Chuan's face, Lu Dong comforted.
Lin Chuan stared at Lu Dong, whose eyes were circling, warned: "I hope so. If the treasure is gone, I don't think there is any need to keep your head."
Lu Dong smiled and said, "Sir, I, Lu Dong, have my life guaranteed, and the treasure is absolutely there." At this moment, facing this young officer who was right, Lu Dong felt extremely depressed, as if all his thoughts would be seen through.
Just as Lu Dong and Lin Chuan were talking, in the grass not far away, two pairs of people with vicious eyes heard the conversation clearly. After Lin Chuan and the others left, the two men crawled out of the grass and ran towards the east at a very fast speed.
Bray Town is located in the eastern part of Tres, where a dynasty thousand-man team is stationed here. In order not to alert the enemy, the Xingtu soldiers led by Lin Chuan did not enter Bray Town, but directly entered the nearby hilly area to find the treasure of Lord Tres.
"Where did the treasure you mentioned fall to the ground? We have been wandering here for a long time." Lin Chuan felt a little impatient in his tone.
Lu Dong replied aggrievedly: "I remember it's here, why can't I find it?"
Lin Chuan sighed and could only order to continue searching. Soon, the Century team led by the Sith sent back the news from the front, and they discovered the situation.
In a valley, about hundreds of slaves were carrying things out of a dark cave under the surveillance of the Dynasty army. More than a hundred carriages were parked outside the cave entrance, and large boxes were piled up.
Lu Dong was excited to shout, but fortunately Lin Chuan quickly looked and covered his mouth.
"That's the city lord of Teres." Lin Chuan looked in the direction of Lu Dong's finger. A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was directing the loading of the car. It was the city lord that Lin Chuan did not catch up with on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Lord Tres had already taken the lead and began to transfer the treasure, but he brought not many troops, only more than 200 people, and the others were ragged slaves.
Soon, Lin Chuan formulated a combat plan. The 100-man team led by Feng Qingyang blocked the exit of the valley, and the other four 100-man teams rushed in to seize the treasure. Anyway, the opponent's strength was not as strong as him.
Obviously, Lin Chuan and the others' appearance was beyond the expectations of the Lord of Teres. When they saw a large number of Xing Tu soldiers wearing black uniforms coming, the Lord of the City was stunned for a moment before ordering resistance.
More than two hundred garrison soldiers shouted and came up. A trace of ferociousness flashed across Lin Chuan's mouth. With a knife, the enemy in front of him had been broken into two pieces.
With just one encounter, half of the two hundred garrison soldiers were chopped over to the ground. The Xingtu soldiers were fierce and powerful, like wolves entering a flock of sheep. This was not a battle at all, but a massacre.
The city lord did not expect that the Xingtu warrior who was attacking was so powerful, and hurriedly followed the panicked slaves to escape into the dark cave.
"Chasing!" Lin Chuan waved his hand and chased in first.
The cave is dark and tortuous. Fortunately, in order to facilitate transportation of treasures, a torch is inserted on the wall of the cave, so that the road can be seen clearly.
The cave was just an entrance, and soon Xingtu soldiers caught up with the slaves and the dynasty's defeated soldiers.
Screams and fights rose and fell in the empty cave. Facing the enemy who was still fighting in the trapped beasts, the Xingtu warrior was not at all kind.
Puchi! Lin Chuan cut off the head of the city lord and ended the battle.
Left the Xing Tu warriors to take care of the surrendered slaves, Lin Chuan held up a torch and checked the treasures that had not been transported away under the leadership of Lu Dong.
"Oh my god, so much treasure!" Someone exclaimed.
Huge wooden boxes were piled up with caves, like hills, with gold coins, pearls and rare treasures scattered everywhere on the ground. These were all plundered by the Lord of Teres for many years and now they all belong to Xing Tu's army.
"There are three million gold coins and one thousand seven hundred and thirty strings of pearls here..." The fat tax official introduced it carefully. Obviously, he was familiar with it.
"Hahaha, your name is Lu Dong, right? You can stay in Xing Tujun from now on." Lin Chuan did not expect that Lu Dong was still a financial management expert, so he decided not to kill him and keep him to do things for him.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Dong suddenly fell to the ground: "Thank you for not killing me, I, Lu Dong, will be my life in the future."
In fact, Lu Dong had already been determined to die. After all, he had no value for use. But now Lin Chuan not only did not kill him, but instead kept him to do things for Xing Tujun, so how could Lu Dong not cry out for gratitude?
"Sir, sir, it's not good. A large number of dynasty soldiers rushed over!" Suddenly, a Xingtu soldier ran from outside the cave and shouted anxiously.
Lin Chuan's face changed, and he didn't care about the treasures on the ground, so he hurriedly led people to run out of the cave. (To be continued)
