After two days of indiscriminate bombardment, not only did the Qingyang Fleet blast open the solid cover above Mishou, but they also plowed the exposed areas of the state several times.
If it weren't for the special conical ring trench structure in Mishou City, the entire state would've been buried by the collapsed soil and rocks from the top floor.
However, it wasn't any better now.
The crystal towers all over the city had collapsed, and the originally dream-like scene no longer existed. Most of the military fortresses were also destroyed. It could be said that other than those armored soldiers and creations who were still making their final struggles, the entire Mishou had no ability to resist.
At this moment, the large fleet that broke through from the south also arrived and successfully joined up with the main fleet in the sky. Almost three thousand battleships were an unshakable force at the moment.
Inside the main ship, Cao Du was asking his subordinates about the situation. "How's the situation in the north?"
A military officer replied, "A few small fleets came from the direction of the Independent State to probe, but we repelled them all."
Cao Du thought for a moment. The Independent State should already know that most of the military forces in Mishou had been defeated, so they probably wouldn't send any more fleets over.
He said, "Take care of Commandant Zhan. Have him continue to keep an eye on me and not relax for a moment."
He turned around at this moment as if he wanted to say something to someone, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that the person standing next to him was no longer You Zhong. He couldn't help but pause.
The personal guard who replaced You Cong stepped forward and said, "Does the general have any orders?"
Cao Du said, "Instruct all fleets to send elite teams down and annihilate the remaining enemies nearby. Also, it's very likely that there are still some arrangements left here in Mishou that might involve mystical things. Go to Secretary Zhang Xuanzheng for me and ask him to send someone to help look after it."
The personal guard said, "This subordinate will remember."
On Zhang Yu's side, he quickly received the document sent by Cao Du. He considered it and had Daoist Wan Ming lead a group of people to keep an eye on the top while he brought some people down.
He had a clear goal for this trip, and he directly flew to several places that Cao Fangding found to be suspicious of the Engineering Department.
After searching two areas in succession, he found that whether it was the objects or the people here, they had already evacuated, leaving only an empty building.
Thus, he cast his gaze outside of Mishou. According to what Cao Fangding had pointed out, there was still a very suspicious location in the Wilderness to the north.
Come down to this place.
However, just as he was about to move, he sensed something and turned his head to look in a certain direction.
Fifty kilometers underground in Mishou Province, the old man with the tall crown was leading a group of trusted aides and more than a thousand personal guards to hastily retreat out of Mishou Province. The dense footsteps kept echoing in the long and narrow tunnel.
He held a black jar in his sleeve. This was the Heavenly Fiend General that the 300 over Frost Continent youths had sacrificed. This time, he was prepared to take it with him.
However, there was no movement from Jia Yi's side, which he had been anticipating. Jia Yi probably couldn't find an opportunity to make a move, or perhaps he had failed.
Regardless, since there was no movement, there was no meaning in leaving these things behind. At most, they could kill some Qingyang Army soldiers and wouldn't be able to salvage the situation.
After running for a while, the personal guards at the front stopped and parted to the sides, revealing a path. A trusted aide beside him said, "Prime Minister, we've arrived at the path."
The old man with the tall crown walked to the front. A long and endless path appeared in front of him. Lying on the path was a creation that looked like an earth dragon. This was Kun Tu's creation, "Hanxin." Its bamboo-like body could accommodate more than a thousand people.
This underground path was very hidden. They could follow this path directly to the Lone Continent and didn't have to return from the sky and risk being intercepted by the Qingyang Fleet.
The old man with the tall crown glanced to the side. The path to the Lone Continent was northwest, but apart from that, there was a fork in the path that led north.
He said, "Chen Shao."
Chen Shao walked up and said, "Chen Shao is here. Prime Minister, please give your orders."
Previously, after he escaped from the battlefield, he returned to the old man's side. Just as he expected, in a situation where they lacked sufficient battle strength, the old man did not make things difficult for him at all. Even if they were to escape now, the old man would still bring him along.
The old man with the tall crown said, "I have a task for you. Go and bring Master Craftsman Weng and Master Craftsman Gong, who are hiding in the northern courtyard, to me. If they're unwilling to leave with us, you know what to do. "
Chen Shao's thoughts turned. He bowed and said, "Chen Shao understands. Regardless of whether I can take them with me or not, I will give Prime Minister a satisfactory explanation."
The old man with the tall crown didn't say anything else and walked into the creation with his personal guards. After a while, Hanxin's abdomen rose slightly into the air. Light flickered on the creation's body and it sped away along the path in the blink of an eye, quickly disappearing at the end of the underground tunnel.
Chen Shao, on the other hand, leaped up and flew along another path.
Not long after they left, a rumbling sound came from the northwest path in the distance. Then, gravel and dust fell from the ceiling, and the entire tunnel began to shake and collapse.
This was the old man's group blowing up the back path in order to prevent people from chasing them from behind.
Half a day later, with a rumbling sound, a huge hole was torn open in the tunnel behind them. Then, a streak of light descended, illuminating the place in an instant.
When the light dissipated, Zhang Yu appeared from within. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and walked along the tunnel.
In just a breath's time, he arrived at the collapsed path, only to find that the path leading to the northwest was broken. However, the path leading to the north still existed, and there were traces of light traveling through it.
He thought for a moment, then drew a line with his finger and left a line of words on the wall beside him. Then, with a flash of light, he chased down that path.
At this time, in the underground courtyard outside Mi Province, Master Craftsman Weng was also in the midst of evacuating after the news of Mi Province's fall.
He walked into a flying boat that had been prepared in advance and sat down in the main cabin.
Across from him sat another master craftsman with the surname Gong, but he looked a little uneasy at the moment.
Master Craftsman Weng glanced at him and said, "Brother Gong, why are you so nervous?"
Master Craftsman Weng sighed and said, "Are we really going there? We're no longer the same as before. "
Master Craftsman Weng said patiently, "That's only a change in our bodies, but you and I haven't lost our skills. As long as our skills are still there, there's value, and they still need us."
Master Craftsman Weng sighed and said, "But I still feel very awkward."
Master Craftsman Weng looked at him and asked seriously, "You were a ghost before, so isn't it good to be a human now?"
Master Craftsman Weng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You won't become a human, you'll only become neither human nor ghost."
Master Craftsman Weng said disapprovingly, "Why bother with these things? What they need is not our identity. No matter what we become, as long as it is beneficial to them, it will not prevent them from accepting us. "At this time, his voice was slightly mocking." Besides, how many of them are worthy of being called human? "
Just as they were talking, a middle-aged master craftsman walked up and bowed to Master Craftsman Weng, "Teacher."
Master Craftsman Weng said, "Is everything packed?"
"It's all packed, I've brought everything I can bring, but I'm afraid we can't take away some of the larger items."
Master Craftsman Weng said decisively, "Then throw them away, we're escaping, not moving."
The middle-aged master craftsman nodded.
Master Craftsman Weng said, "What about 'Jia Si' and 'Jia Wu'?"
The middle-aged master craftsman said, "They're here, teacher, do you want me to call them over?"
Master Craftsman Weng thought for a moment and said, "Call them over, I'll only be at ease if they're by my side at this time."
After the middle-aged master craftsman left, two people in overcoats walked in. Then, they took off their hoods, revealing their cold expressions.
Master Craftsman Weng shook his head, "Creator warriors still can't be compared to humans."
Craftsman Weng said nonchalantly, "As long as there are enough of them, they'll still be very useful. The reason why Qingyang and Shuangzhou are so obsessed with finding suitable people to use them is only because these kinds of outer armors are rare. If they could be casually created like ordinary outer armors, then I'm afraid the creator warriors would be the mainstream."
Master Craftsman Weng thought for a moment, "That'll still take a long time."
Although the art of creation was constantly improving, the path became narrower the higher one went, especially the higher the level of power, the harder it was to make.
Master Craftsman Weng said indifferently, "We can afford to wait."
About half a summer later, the middle-aged master craftsman said, "Teacher, everything is ready."
Master Craftsman Weng said, "Good, then let's set off quickly."
But at this time, a sharp light shot directly in front of the ship, directly shattering the ground in front. After the light dissipated, one could see a pair of flying daggers as thin as paper.
Although this thing didn't land on the flying ship, the threat inside couldn't be more obvious.
Master Craftsman Weng frowned and stood up, saying to Master Craftsman Weng, "Brother Gong, you can just sit here. Don't come out if there's nothing important."
Master Craftsman Weng hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll sit."
Master Craftsman Weng walked down from the flying ship and saw a cultivator in Daoist robes floating above. He glanced at him and said, "Chen Shao?"
Chen Shao smiled as he stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. "It's me, Master Craftsman Weng. We can be considered acquaintances now. My fellow Daoists are so obedient thanks to your modifications."
Master Craftsman Weng said in a low voice, "What do you want to do?
Chen Shao smiled faintly. "Nothing. It's just that Xiang Guo is worried about Master Craftsman Weng's safety, so he wants me to take Master Craftsman Weng, oh, and Master Craftsman Weng to the Independent Province. Are you two willing?"
Master Craftsman Weng said, "I'll have to trouble Mister Chen to tell Xiang Guo. I appreciate his kindness, but we've already arranged a place to go, so there's no need to trouble Xiang Guo."
Chen Shao sighed and said, "What a pity." A hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes. The two flying blades suddenly turned into two streaks of white light and slashed toward Master Craftsman Weng.
Although the other party was an old man without much combat strength, he was still a master craftsman. Perhaps he had some powerful trump cards hidden, so Chen Shao didn't hold back when he attacked.
Master Craftsman Weng stood there without moving, but when the two flying blades flew in front of him, two hands suddenly reached out from both sides and grabbed them.
The two flying blades were like birds caught in a net — they couldn't fly out no matter how hard they struggled.
Chen Shao was startled. He looked at the two people hidden in the robes and his expression became serious. "Armored soldiers?"
There were many kinds of armored soldiers, but ordinary soldiers couldn't compare to those who could catch his flying blades and didn't transform into huge outer armor.
Master Craftsman Weng said calmly, "These two are 'Armor Squad' and 'Armor Squad'. Mister Chen, how do you think they compare to you cultivators?"
Chen Shao's expression changed a few times. With a shift of his thoughts, the two flying blades suddenly turned illusory and escaped from the hands of the two armored soldiers. Then, they flew back to his side.
He glared at Master Craftsman Weng and the others. Just when Master Craftsman Weng and the others thought he was going to launch another attack, he snorted and turned around, turning into a beam of light and leaving.
