The King of Special Warfare Chapter 540 - Retreat and Missing

Chapter 540 Retreat and Missing

In the end, Gongsun Qi broke the silence.

“I have reached an agreement with Minister Dongcheng. In principle, he has agreed to let Black Tortoise lead a group from the Terracotta Army to be stationed temporarily in Recchi City. When the situation is completely stabilized, they will return to Zhongzhou State.”

Li w.a.n.gsheng, the Black Tortoise of Zhongzhou State, could also be said to be Li Tianlan’s right hand man and the one he trusted most.

The Snowdance Corps had made their contributions first, and Dongcheng Wudi’s great efforts had followed later. Coupled with the tilted att.i.tude of the Four Spirits, the general trend had completely guaranteed Li Tianlan’s foundation in Eastern Europe. As long as Tribulation stayed here, with his current ident.i.ty and strength as the number one a.s.sa.s.sin in the Dark World, even if Li Tianlan left Eastern Europe, the Li family would still have absolute influence in Eastern Europe in the future.

Li Tianlan lifted his head to look at Tribulation.

Since Tribulation broke through in East Island more than three years ago, his position had become a little awkward. Now Tribulation was the Minister of the Northeast Special Warfare Department of Zhongzhou State, and also the Director of the Supervisory Inst.i.tution. He could be considered as a member of parliament.

He had been transferred from the Northeast Special Warfare Department to be the Commander of the Snowdance Corps. As long as he held the t.i.tle of marshal, his position would be equivalent to that of a parliament member of Zhongzhou State.

It seemed to be fixed, but in fact, there was a huge difference.

After all, Sigh City had been in the northeast for many years, and its influence had long been deep-rooted. Tribulation’s role in the Special Warfare Department was nothing more than the icing on the cake. But once he left the northeast, he could control the most powerful Special Warfare Battalion in Zhongzhou State. In addition, he was far away from the ruling cla.s.s. So the actual power in his hands had doubled.

Li Tianlan was now the Young Governor of Sigh City. Sigh City was naturally the power base of the Li family. Once Tribulation stayed, it meant that Sigh City had taken an important step in the battle with Kunlun City.

Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud, who were known as the two geniuses of Sigh City three years ago, had entered the Sky Academy and the Special Operations Bureau in Youzhou, respectively. Now, with Tribulation, Sigh City’s power was spreading to the northeast, bit by bit, with Li Tianlan’s partic.i.p.ation. Although this move was slow, it was still strong enough to combat any refusals from the people.

“I can stay,”

Tribulation suddenly said. Li Tianlan and Gongsun Qi could talk about this matter in front of him, which was enough to show that Dongcheng Wudi had managed to speak to all the people behind his back, and they were only waiting for him to agree.

“Thank you, Martial Uncle,”

Li Tianlan said softly.

Tribulation shook his head. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said, “So, what about Jiang Shangyu?”

Li Tianlan and Gongsun Qi looked at each other and did not say anything.

Jiang Shangyu’s transfer seemed to have come at the wrong time.

As the newly appointed vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps, he could not change his position for the moment. It also meant that he would be in Eastern Europe in the near future. However, the matter in Eastern Europe was over. What was Zhongzhou State’s intention to transfer him from Eastern Europe?

At this time, Kunlun City had completely fallen out with Jiang Shangyu.

It was uncertain if Kunlun City had any power against Jiang Shangyu now. Even if it did, Jiang Shangyu was in Eastern Europe, and Kunlun City was too far away to reach him. How could Kunlun City possibly do that?

To be honest, the t.i.tle of a senior member of Jiang Shan was not so easy to come by.

“This is interesting.”

Tribulation said.

“Yes, from the moment Chen Qingluan died in Eastern Europe, all the timing seemed to be just right. The Southeast Group and Special Warfare Group strongly recommended Jiang Shangyu and Jiang Shangyu took advantage of the opportunity to break through. He decided to stay away from Eastern Europe for the time being and he fell out with Kunlun City. It is too coincidental. Although there are no deliberate signs, it appears to be very strange.”

Li Tianlan said slowly, “If I am not mistaken, the Jiang family should have surrendered to the Southeast Group, or at least to w.a.n.g Qinglei.”

Tribulation turned his head and glanced at Qin Xilai, who had been silent all the time.

Qin Xilai shrugged his shoulders slightly and pointed above him.

Above the Qin Clan was naturally the Lin Clan.

Tribulation smiled, turned to look at Li Tianlan and said, “It’s all right.”

Even if Li Tianlan left Eastern Europe, the Snowdance Corps would not move within this short time. Tribulation had the military power and the support of the Qin Clan, so it would not be difficult for him to suppress Jiang Shangyu, since he was in the Invincible Realm.

Li Tianlan was relieved and said slowly, “In that case, we will release the news that the President will arrive in Recchi City in a few days.”

People had begun to discuss the matter of Li Huacheng’s visiting Eastern Europe after the Date of Death, but the foreign affairs of Zhongzhou State had never formally issued any notice about it. The reason was very simple. After the Date of Death, the Snowdance Corps had a great advantage in Recchi City, but the advantage was not the victory. Li Huacheng naturally wanted to make the situation more stable.

After the Trial Day, although it could be said that there would be no suspense, basically there would be no big problems. At this time, the Snowdance Corps naturally had to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to make Li Huacheng’s visit grander.

Moreover, after the Trial Day, almost all the superpowers were leaderless.

The Shadow Throne had been disbanded, and KingTong had been destroyed.

The President of the Heroes’ Club had died in battle, and lost all his soldiers.

Jiang Qiansong had been expelled from the Jiang family of South America.

Huan Kong, the Lord of Fantasy World, had died.

Ka.s.s Rotter, the leader of the Men in Black, had died.

All of the Dark World were immersed in an unprecedented rearrangement. Now, only the Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Vatican were left in Recchi City.

It seemed that these two forces were still looking for opportunities.

However, as long as Li Huacheng signed the agreement with Wulan State in Eastern Europe, presumably the two superpowers would feel that the general trend was gone. Even if they were unwilling to give up, they had to withdraw from Eastern Europe. Otherwise, what was waiting for them would be a war.

Li Tianlan was silent, and thought about the gains and losses of this battle.

It was not easy to win this battle. The only thing Li Tianlan could be glad about was that none of the few Invincible Realm experts standing beside him had died, but that was all. There were four Invincible Realm experts standing next to him; Qin Xilai, Rafael, Tribulation and Situ Cangyue.

Now, all four Invincible Realm experts were seriously injured.

Tribulation’s injuries were the least serious. When he had fought against Paul, it could be said that he had stretched himself to his limit. So far, he was still in a state of extreme exhaustion. As for those injuries, he could barely suppress them and was now slowly recovering.

Tribulation was also the only one who could regain his combat capability within a short period of time.

Qin Xilai’s situation was worse than that of Tribulation. He was basically unable to fight for about one and half years.

Situ Cangyue’s situation was a little worse than Qin Xilai’s. He and Rafael were at the center of the self-detonation of the Devil Troop. But there had been not only the Eye of the Devil in the Devil Troop, but also the Holy Punishment of Void that had been absorbed by the Eye of the Devil. Such an explosion meant that Situ Cangyue had faced the attack of the murderous weapon head-on. Situ Cangyue’s injuries would take a long time to heal.

As for the Commander of the Dark Knights, Rafael…

Li Tianlan had a complicated look on his face.

The brother-in-law, who had thrown the Dark Saint Spear to him at the most critical moment of the battle and protected him, was still unconscious. He was the strongest among them, but he was also the most seriously injured. When he woke up, he had to recuperate for a long time, and it depended on his luck to regain his strength. Even if Rafael was lucky to be alive, he had no combat capability of the Invincible Realm, and this would be a heavy loss for the Dark Knights.

Li Tianlan shook his head, stood up suddenly and said, “I am going out for a walk.”

He got up and left the room.

Opposite Tribulation’s ward was a temporarily modified intensive care unit. At this moment, Rafael was lying inside, motionless.

Li Tianlan stood by the window of the ward and looked at the motionless figure. After a long silence, he turned around and walked into another ward.

“When I was a child? I don’t remember it.”

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+’s clear and sweet voice rang in the ward.

Li Tianlan came in and looked at Situ Cangyue, who was sitting on the bed. He nodded and said, “Auntie.”

The complexity in Situ Cangyue’s eyes disappeared in a flash. Then she nodded and asked with a smile, “How is the situation outside?”

“Not bad.”

After a moment of silence, Li Tianlan subconsciously avoided Situ Cangyue’s eyes and whispered, “We won.”

“Yes, we won.”

Situ Cangyue murmured softly, “It is good that you won.”

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+ stood up happily and pulled Li Tianlan to sit down beside her. Her eyes and eyebrows were natural and charming.

Li Tianlan smiled and touched her hair.

Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+’s body relaxed, and her eyes became clearer and brighter.

Situ Cangyue also fell silent.

n.o.body knew whether it was intentional or not.

Tribulation, Situ Cangyue, Li Tianlan, and even all of Zhongzhou State had avoided a question.

Zhongzhou State had won the battle on the Trial Day.

It had won because of Li Tianlan’s desperate comeback and the Sword Energy at the Peak of the Invincible Realm that appeared at that moment.

But from the beginning to the end, no one had asked where Li Tianlan’s Sword Energy had come from.

Li Tianlan did not mention it either.

He gently stroked Dongcheng Rus.h.i.+’s hair and looked at her face with a complicated look in his eyes.

Situ Cangyue was also looking at Li Tianlan, with the same complicated expression in her eyes.

At the same time, at Eyme International Airport.

A private plane from Zhongzhou State slowly landed.

In recent days, there was a continuous storm in Recchi City. After the Trial Day, all the major airlines finally made up their minds to ground all flights to Eyme. Now this flight route was in total chaos. To be safe, Jiang Shangyu’s private plane belonging to the new vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps in Zhongzhou State, would land at Eyme International Airport. Cheng Huining, the commander of the Arctic Ocean Command, would accompany him to Recchi City.

Eyme International Airport was a bustling place with incoming and outgoing pa.s.sengers.

Cheng Huining, accompanied by several guards, stood among the crowd, dressed in casual clothes. But his smile looked a little fake.

Obviously, he did not welcome Jiang Shangyu to Eastern Europe.

All of the Snowdance Corps would not welcome them either.

However, this was the decision of Zhongzhou State. Even if Cheng Huining was not very willing, he still had to go through the procedures that had to be followed

The cabin door opened.

Jiang Shangyu, who was wearing a casual suit and carrying a backpack, appeared at the cabin door.

His smile was gentle and calm, and there was no aura around him. With his clothes and his extremely young face, he looked like a traveler who had come from afar, instead of a soldier.

Cheng Huining was stunned for a moment, then he lifted his hand and waved.

Jiang Shangyu was stunned too when he saw Cheng Huining. It seemed that he did not expect that Cheng Huining would come to welcome him personally. Then he quickened his pace and walked down the gangway ladder. As soon as he reached the ground, he reached out his hand and smiled even when he was at least more than ten meters away from Cheng Huining.

Cheng Huining moved forward.

Suddenly, without any warning, a great force came from behind.

The great power pressed Cheng Huining to the ground in an instant, and only then did he hear the urgent roar in his ear, “General, be careful!”

A sharp and unparalleled sword light skimmed along the top of Cheng Huining’s head and stabbed directly at Jiang Shangyu.

The extremely condensed sword intent had suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Shangyu.

The s.p.a.ce was completely shattered by this sword, and everything was a blur.

Jiang Shangyu’s smile was a little stiff.

“Bang!”

In an instant, the fully unleashed sword intent completely enveloped Jiang Shangyu.

Countless Sword Energy swirled wildly around the airport and destroyed the fighter jets in an instant. In that short time, Cheng Huining and several guards were seriously injured.

Cheng Huining’s mind went blank.

This sudden sword strike was directed at Jiang Shangyu.

The key point was that this strike was the real Invincible Realm strike!

The sword light erupted after a moment.

Blood splattered in the air and then dissipated.

The airport was in chaos.

Cheng Huining, whose face was livid, stood up and looked in Jiang Shangyu’s direction.

There was only his backpack there and Jiang Shangyu, whom he was going to meet, had disappeared.

“Puff!”

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Cheng Huining’s mouth.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon of August 20th in Eastern Europe.

Before the sky turned dark, two newsflashes swept through the Dark World like a hurricane.

Withdraw!

They did not wait for the President of Zhongzhou State to visit Recchi City.

The Purgatory of Heaven Capital was the first to announce that they would withdraw from Recchi City. In less than five minutes, the Vatican also announced that they would withdraw all of their forces within Recchi City.

What followed this news and spread throughout the Dark World was that Jiang Shangyu, the vice marshal of Zhongzhou State’s Snowdance Corps, had been attacked by a Invincible Realm expert as soon as he had arrived at Eyme, and he had already disappeared.
