Chapter 297 Long Lantern! It will be bright! Kill the enemy with me!
Ten minutes ago.
After Jiang Xiaoci hung up the call, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Wang Chen and the headquarters have resumed contact, which is the best result.
As long as Wang Chen can be fully mobilized, the enemy's offensive can be greatly disintegrated, and it can even be said that a further counterattack can be achieved.

"The dead end is alive, so they should be anxious, right?"
Jiang Xiaoci thought silently in her heart, stood up and walked to the door.
This time she didn't pick up the pen and paper, left everything on the table, and walked out of the room alone.
"Miss Jiang."
There was a guard waiting at the door, and he whispered: "The scientific researchers and related talents from Guangling and Dantu have successfully assembled the first batch, and they are about to set off for Jinling."
"Miss Jiang, your position has been arranged, I will lead the way for you."
"Who arranged it?"
Jiang Xiaoci looked at the guard, his tone was calm, but it put great psychological pressure on the guard, and he lowered his head and dared not look at her: "It was arranged by Chen Xun. He said that Miss Jiang would leave early with the first batch of teams. Your identity is important and you can't stay on the most dangerous front line."
"He is good at playing tricks. He still doesn't forget to show off his achievements at this time."
Jiang Xiaoci smiled with a cold look in his eyes: "Let Chen Xun lead the team, take Wang Shi with him, and send the first batch of important people back to Jinling as soon as possible."
"I will stay. I won't leave until all the people in the two cities have left."
The guard wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Xiaoci had already sat on the military vehicle waiting at the door and ordered softly: "Go to the patrol area outside the city."
"Yes."
The soldier nodded and started the car.
The military vehicle drove steadily and quickly on the streets of Dantu. The fog in the city had been dispelled by Wang Chen earlier, and the whole city was bright again.
But unfortunately, this light did not last too long. People in a hurry could be seen everywhere on the city streets under the warm sunshine. They carried their luggage and were hurriedly taken out of the city from the north by the rescue teams.
The overall evacuation in the city was presided over by Jiang Xiaoci, but the specific evacuation work had been delegated to Li Aiguo, Lu Nianxin, Chen Xun, Wang Shi and others.
Jiang Xiaoci silently looked at the crowds on both sides of the street. They were like a series of old movie scenes in reverse, passing by the military vehicles.
Occasionally, someone raised his head and looked at the military vehicle running in the opposite direction with surprise.
"Why is this car going south?"
"Aren't there enemies in the south? I heard they are preparing missiles."
"I don't know, it seems to be Jinling's car, the people in the car should go to the south to form a second line of defense."
"The commander said, let's retreat first, they will cover the rear."
"Jinling... Alas, they are really not afraid of death, can they hold on?"
"I don't know, but I heard from that Chen that we should be safe before they die."
There were dense discussions on the street, not only Jiang Xiaoci's military vehicle was moving, but military vehicles passed by in silence everywhere on the street.
Some vehicles were going south to form a new line of defense, and some vehicles were going to the north to carry people to evacuate from Guangling.
Their duties were different, but without exception, they were all seriously implementing the plan of the retreat.
In a trance, people seemed to be able to feel some familiar breath.
Many times before, there was also a group of troops who would do their best to give them enough sense of security.
Although that army is gone, they seem to have new successors, someone is doing the same thing, continuing the will of that army.
"Miss Jiang..."
Xiaoyan in the car suddenly spoke. She was sitting next to Jiang Xiaoci, holding various communicators in her hands to facilitate Jiang Xiaoci to contact the retreating teams.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Xiaoci withdrew his thoughtful gaze and looked at Xiaoyan.
"You said...will we be safe this time?"
Xiaoyan lowered her head, looking a little nervous, not knowing how to phrase it: "I'm not afraid of death, I mean...I want to say...it's obviously the end of the world, why are there still people fighting each other..."
"Are you worried about Captain Chen?"
Jiang Xiaoci raised his hand and gently touched Xiaoyan's hair: "Don't worry, he's very strong, he won't die."
"Miss Jiang, I'm not worried about him, I just..."
Xiaoyan looked up at Jiang Xiaoci's gentle eyes, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and her voice trembled a little: "Lu Nianxin told me that at the retreat meeting, everyone tacitly agreed that he would die."
"He alone had to stop tens of thousands of people...He, even if he died, he should be our hero."
"Yes, he is a hero, and so are you."
Jiang Xiaoci nodded and patted Xiaoyan's hand gently, without too much explanation or comfort.
"At least, it will be our turn after he dies."
Jiang Xiaoci looked out the window, the smile on his face still calm: "Don't be afraid, there will always be people who die in every era, and dying in front of the people reflects our beliefs."
"I know, I'm not afraid."
Xiaoyan tried to take a deep breath, she knew that now was not the time to expose her weakness, the enemy would not soften because of tears.
"Ms. Jiang, Miss Lin is in the South District."
"Didn't I ask her to lead the retreat in the north?"
Jiang Xiaoci frowned at Xiaoyan, but was not surprised: "What is she doing in the patrol area?"
"She said she wanted to stay and empower the soldiers. Miss Jiang said at the meeting that the enemy would look for us. We can't stay with the crowd, as this would bring danger."
"It may not be her, so why bother to be brave."
Jiang Xiaoci had a blank expression on her face, but there was a hint of relief in her eyes.
She actually knew that Lin Yue shouldn't have come to Dantu.
With Lin Yue's personality, once the danger affected the people, she would be more willing to stand up than anyone else, even without the order of the leader.
"Then who are they...looking for?"
Xiaoyan didn't understand, she muttered softly: "Why don't we send the people out? At least it can exchange for the safety of these hundreds of thousands of people...If it were me, I would definitely be willing."
"Oh?"
Jiang Xiaoci glanced at Xiaoyan with a smile, but didn't say anything, and turned to look out the window.
After a while, Jiang Xiaoci saw the figure of the patrol area in the suburbs, which was already full of soldiers, constantly repairing fortifications.
Anti-aircraft weapons from all over the place have been pulled to the front line, ready for the cluster bombing of missiles in the air after Chen Dafeng's defeat.
Drones and helicopters have also entered standby mode, and are about to take off to the area where Chen Dafeng is located for support. No matter what, at least they have to stop the enemy from bombing the city.
"We're here."
The military vehicle stopped steadily, Jiang Xiaoci got off the military vehicle, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan."
"Ah?"
"They want me."
Jiang Xiaoci looked at Xiaoyan deeply and said softly: "They want to kill Chen Dafeng, me, Lin Yue and all the senior officials here."
"Hand us over, the commander will lose even more miserably."
"I... I don't know!"
Xiaoyan panicked. She wanted to wave her hand to explain something. Jiang Xiaoci smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, at least we are not gone."
"If they want to find me, I will wait for them here."
"Your Captain Chen can be a hero, and your Miss Jiang also wants to be a hero once."
Jiang Xiaoci got off the military vehicle and walked into the patrol area in Xiaoyan's dazed eyes. Qin Dashan, who had been waiting for a long time, came to meet him.
He lowered his head and reported: "Miss Jiang, we still need 20 minutes to complete the basic defense of the second line of defense."
"It has been six minutes since Captain Chen encountered the enemy. The first batch of air forces is ready and can take off immediately."
"Well, let them go."
Jiang Xiaoci took the defense line report handed over by the guard next to him, lowered his head and read it, and gave orders without raising his head: "Go, tell all pilots, if they find the enemy entering the bombing sequence, launch an attack immediately!"
"Even if they die on the front line, they must disrupt the enemy's bombing operations."
"Miss Jiang."
Qin Dashan reminded hesitantly: "If Chen Dafeng is not dead, should we implement the backup plan and let the air force assist Captain Chen... .”
“No backup plan!”
Jiang Xiaoci raised his head and looked at Qin Dashan calmly: “You are a soldier, you know better than me that hesitation and softness are our biggest enemies in war!”
“Miss Jiang, they are carrying small tactical nuclear warheads. Captain Chen may not be able to resist if he is at the center of the explosion...”
“Execute the order!”
Jiang Xiaoci’s voice gradually became colder: “I just want Dan Tu not to be threatened! I can’t control Chen Dafeng!”
“Yes!”
Qin Dashan’s eyes were dim, he turned to look at the flight sequence, gritted his teeth and ordered: “First Flight Squadron! Take off immediately! Go to the front line! Execute the battle plan of launching and blocking!”
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Armed helicopters took off one after another, and a large number of drones also floated up like a honeycomb.
The reconnaissance aircraft had taken off as soon as possible, and had entered a high-speed flight state in the air, and was about to fly towards the battlefield where Chen Dafeng was.
Six minutes of preparation time, this is the shortest time to gather air force.
As long as they arrive at the battlefield, Jiang Xiaoci will have first-hand frontline intelligence, and she can make more countermeasures and arrangements.
"Chen Dafeng..."
Jiang Xiaoci looked down at the tactical map in his hand, muttering to himself: "I don't believe you will die, but I have to treat you as a dead man."
"Forgive me, I have to look a few more steps, a few more steps of failure."
"Shencheng... It's impossible that there are only these means."
"Boom boom!!"
Suddenly, there were bursts of dense explosions in the sky!
It was the first reconnaissance plane to take off that exploded in the air, and the brilliant sparks fell, attracting the attention of the entire patrol area.
The sudden chaos shocked everyone, the battle came too suddenly!
All the staff raised their heads and looked up at the sky in disbelief. The surrounding soldiers were nervous and hid in the bunkers, aiming their guns at the sky.
The soldiers on the ground saw that behind the clouds in the sky, dense figures slowly floated out.
"You are here indeed!"
A hearty laugh came from the sky. It was a middle-aged man laughing.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, and his aura was as wild as the abyss. There were arcs of electricity in his eyes, and his aura was extremely compelling!
Jiang Xiaoci also raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in the sky.
Behind the middle-aged man, there was a group of talented people wearing different clothes. There were more than a hundred of them in total, but they had different clothes to distinguish each other, as if they were different teams.
"I know you. I heard that your name is Jiang Xiaoci, right?"
The middle-aged man was smiling. He looked down at Jiang Xiaoci and waved his palm not far away.
"Bang!!"
An armed helicopter that had just adjusted its body suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of fire, burning and falling. All the pilots and accompanying soldiers inside were killed in the sea of fire.
This is provocation and threat!
Qin Dashan took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang Xiaoci with a gun.
"Miss Jiang, you leave first, I'll come here!"
Qin Dashan shouted: "Everyone is ready! Start..."
Before Qin Dashan could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoci raised his hand to stop his order: "It's useless, look behind you."
Qin Dashan turned around following the sound and saw thousands of well-armed talented people slowly walking out of the fog further outside the city behind the patrol area.
Each of them has a strong aura condensed on them, holding various types of mechanical weapons and equipment in their hands, and looking at the soldiers in the patrol area with sharp eyes.
"They're strong."
Zheng Xingxing felt like his scalp was exploding, and the wand in the old magician's hand was trembling slightly: "I feel... the magic power is passing away."
"Are you afraid of death?"
Zhongshan, holding a heavy shield, crashed down in front of the magicians.
Beside him were the same defenders, with expressionless faces and only the will to die in their eyes.
"With so many people beheaded, it seems you are very confident."
Jiang Xiaoci raised his head and looked at the crowd in the sky: "Aren't your adults here?"
She could easily see that the middle-aged man was just a pawn, not the real man behind the scenes.
"The Lord is watching you, and he said he must kill you himself."
The middle-aged man crossed his chest with his hands. He was not in a hurry to do anything. His eyes were playful, with a touch of curiosity: "Woman, how smart are you to make adults so afraid."
"How do I know that I have offended him somewhere?"
Jiang Xiaoci calmly pushed Qin Dashan aside. Qin Dashan couldn't keep her order, so it was better to let her see the people in front of her more clearly.
"How many cities have you come to?"
Jiang Xiaoci's beautiful eyes swept across the sky, and her fingers casually traced across the map: "I have guessed that he should have completed the unification of the coastal areas, so he dared to take action against Jiangnan, right?"
"Nine Cities."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, spoke calmly, and waved to signal the people behind him to get out.
"Shencheng, Gusu, Jiancheng, Lin'an, Hexing, Chongshan, Shaocheng, Mingzhou."
Every time a strong man flies out, a stronger oppression comes.
This is actual murderous intent, like a sinking ocean, pressing firmly on the sky in the patrol area.
If Chen Dafeng gave people a feeling of despair at first, the hundreds of people floating in the sky that day all had a terrifying aura comparable to Chen Dafeng's.
This is an extremely luxurious lineup!
The strong men from several cities joined forces at this moment to encircle and suppress all living creatures here.
No one knows why they joined forces, let alone when they came.
Only Jiang Xiaoci shook his head gently: "Only eight, one missing."
"Is it Wengzhou?"
Jiang Xiaoci looked down at the map and frowned slightly: "Well... Wengzhou should be left behind, or they are a bait to delay Wang Chen."
"What are you still mumbling about?"
The man was smiling, full of confidence: "Should you follow me voluntarily, or should I do it myself?"
"If my master wants you, everyone will die except you."
His eyes were full of unruliness and confidence that he had everything under control.
"Last question."
Jiang Xiaoci was not in a hurry and just shook his head: "Tell me why you don't go to Jinling instead of coming here."
"Jinling is empty. If the leader is left alone, it will be more difficult for him to resist you."
"Don't you want to kill him?"
A hint of doubt appeared in Jiang Xiaoci's beautiful eyes, and she was thinking.
She figured out the enemy's arms and foundation for trying to kill Su Yi, but she couldn't figure out why the enemy didn't just behead Su Yi?
Why bother with this?
Don't the enemies know how terrifying the potential and growth of the leader's talent is?
But the enemy did not give an answer. The man just waved his hand impatiently: "You are too long-winded. I don't need to answer so many questions from you. If you have something to do, go and ask my lord in person!"
"Get her!"
"yes."
A strong man from Gusu stepped out, raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Xiaoci in the air: "Order! Come quickly!"
He stares at his incredible talent, which is a special combat talent that can have an effect similar to what he says.
This is a higher-level mechanical feature, which shows that the people behind the scenes attach great importance to Jiang Xiaoci.
"Miss Jiang!"
Qin Dashan sensed something was wrong and wanted to step forward to defend Jiang Xiaoci from the attack.
But before he rushed out, he saw a golden glimmer in front of Jiang Xiaoci.
"Wa~!"
There was a slight sound of water waves bursting, the golden light trembled slightly, and the strong man from Gusu in the sky made a confused voice: "Huh? What did you use!"
He looked at Jiang Xiaoci with some surprise, only to see this woman shrouded in a strange golden light.
This golden light is very mysterious, ripples are appearing in the instability, and there are faint firelight flickering and jumping in the waves.
At first glance, it looks like a candle.
She was being enveloped in a ball of candlelight.
"I don't know what it is either."
Jiang Xiaoci raised her hand and gently lifted her hair from her temples, smiling: "My leader always brings some strange people, but at least I know one thing."
"Since your master wants to kill me, he should also know that I am difficult to kill."
Jiang Xiaoci said softly: "Am I right, old man?"
The moment her voice fell, an old man with a hunched figure walked out from behind Jiang Xiaoci and stood beside her with gloomy eyes.
It was Dongfang Zhiyuan.
Qin Dashan was stunned. He had no idea where the commander-in-chief appeared from. He seemed to appear out of thin air.
No!
It should be... coming out of the candlelight on Jiang Xiaoci's body!
Qin Dashan was a little confused, and the eight city masters in the sky were also confused.
The old man next to Jiang Xiaoci was too thin, and his bent back seemed to be pressed by a mountain. He was obviously an old man half buried in the ground, but he was leaning on a huge cane that was much taller than his height. The cane looked like a street lamp, heavy and thick.
"How do I know if it's right?"
Dongfang Zhiyuan glanced at Jiang Xiaoci and sneered unhappily: "It's really a husband and wife singing the same tune. It was agreed that I would be old and watch the show, but in the end I have to do these rough jobs."
"Why don't you find that Wang guy! He is a young man, isn't he more suitable for doing these things!"
"I don't know him well, I don't know him, I trust you more."
"Sweet words, but a dagger in your heart, you are like your husband, not a good guy!"
Jiang Xiaoci heard this, pursed his lips gently, smiled but said nothing.
The old man's temper is still so bad, and he is even more irritable at this moment.
"Old man, who are you!"
The strong man in the sky sensed something was wrong and shouted and threatened: "You want to help her? You also want to die!"
"Are you talking to me?"
Dongfang Zhiyuan raised his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness, he slowly straightened his bent back, and the light in his hand suddenly became brighter!
"Who do you think you are! How dare you disrespect the wise man!"
"Long light! It will be bright!"
"Follow me to kill the enemy!"
