Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 441 Cleaning up
Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque confirmed that their opponents were silent, and then they felt relieved, and they looked up at Chen Chuan together.

He was seen walking slowly towards them with a long sword in his hand, an iron-faced head hanging on his waist. Wisps of white steam were rising from his body. Although he did not deliberately release a biological field, an invisible oppressive force emanated from him.

Yuan Qiyuan swallowed his saliva, tried to calm his breathing, looked at the head again and again, and couldn't help but said: "Captain, is it solved?"

Chen Chuan walked up to the two of them, nodded and said, "It's solved, but there are still some back-up plans to deal with."

Yuan Qiyuan came up and said with a sigh, "This is the Iron Demon. People in the garrison are terrified when they hear about it. And the aura just now was really impressive." He stretched out his hand and moved the head, "Look, we have solved it.

Qin Qingque seriously corrected: "It was the captain who solved it."

"Hey, the captain said that we are a small team, and whatever the captain solves is what we solve."

"Executive Yuan is right." Chen Chuan said, "We are a small team. Without the help of the two of you, I would not be able to successfully deal with the Iron Demon."

Yuan Qiyuan straightened his back, but he chuckled and said, "Captain, no matter what you say, I know who is really capable. From now on, I will obey you and I won't recognize anyone else."

Qin Qingque didn't say anything, but the expression he showed conveyed the same meaning.

Chen Chuan smiled and then reminded them: "Pay attention to your activity index."

After all, this is the wilderness, and there is no connection to the base. If they are far apart, they will not be able to see each other's activity index. Now that I am closer, I find that both of them have reached more than 20, but fortunately they did not cross the warning line. This should be the result of their conscious control.

Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque were startled and both said yes. They had been on high alert during the battle, but now that they relaxed, they found that the index was going up again, so they were busy guiding their breathing to slowly bring the value down.

At this time, they couldn't help but take a look at Chen Chuan's value, and found that it was still "zero", and they admired him even more.

They knew that the index could be lowered, but the more they pushed it down, the harder it would be. Chen Chuan had just been fighting against the Iron Demon, and the pressure was much higher than theirs. It had only been a few minutes since the end of the battle, and the index had dropped to zero in such a short time. This kind of self-restraint and ability to control the body was truly amazing.

At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly noticed something, and Yuan and Qin also discovered it. The three of them looked back together and saw that the remaining cavalry soldiers had all gathered together, and now they were facing this side to organize their formation, and soon they were ready to charge.

Yuan Qiyuan was a little puzzled. "What do they want to do? Do they want to use these people to attack us?"

A group of second-level cavalrymen wanted to deal with these three third-level fighters. They were looking for death, right? Were the Iron Demon's subordinates so loyal to him?

Qin Qingque observed for a while, thought about it, and said to Chen Chuanchu: "Captain, their front row blocked the back, but I saw that they seemed to have grappling hooks, which may not be used against us, but to take back the body on the ground."

"We can't give it back to them. This is our spoils of war."

Yuan Qiyuan yelled, and he immediately ran to the off-road vehicle. When he got to the side of the vehicle, he stretched out his hand, jumped over the top, and then grabbed the machine gun. "Captain, leave this small matter to us, and give us a chance to show our abilities."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Okay, look at me. I've been trained."

Qin Qingque said, "I'll drive." She quickly got into the car, and soon the off-road vehicle started and drove towards the cavalry team in front.

When the other side saw them driving the car up, the formation seemed to be slightly scattered, but they quickly adjusted it and drove their horses forward.

Chen Chuan shook his head. This group of people probably knew what the consequences would be if they faced a machine gun charge. Even the armored implant-transformed horses could not withstand the heavy machine gun fire.

However, these people should not have much choice. According to the military tradition of the imperial family, if the superior dies, the personal guards must be beheaded. If the body cannot be retrieved, the entire team will be held accountable. Not to mention that this team was formed by Iron Demon himself, so their loyalty is beyond doubt.

Soon, the sound of machine gun fire, the neighing of war horses and the sound of heavy objects falling were heard from the rear, all of which were drowned out by the large cloud of smoke and dust.

Chen Chuan ignored it. He stood on the river bank, holding his knife on the ground, looking at the flowing water in front of him, thinking about the changes that had just happened to the Iron Demon.

He believed that spiritual and physical perfection should not be achieved by the Iron Demon.

It is true that when they first met, there were almost no shortcomings in their spirit, body, and the use of strength and skills, but in fact these were loose, and as they clashed, it gradually became difficult to coordinate all aspects.

I don’t know if it’s the lack of a force that brings them together, or the existence of that thing in his body that hinders him?

He thought about it and thought that it might be both reasons.

Then what is true perfection like?
After about half an hour, the noise outside gradually died down, and the off-road vehicle drove back from the rolling dust. As the dust gradually dissipated, what was revealed was debris and blood all over the ground, and the limbs of people and horses could no longer be distinguished.

After the car stopped in front of him, Yuan Qiyuan jumped down from the roof and said, "Captain, we've collected them all. But the number is a little off."

Qin Qingque came out of the cab and said, "Captain, two teams are heading behind us. They should be looking for a shallow beach in the river so that they can outflank us from both sides. They should not have arrived yet."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Since you are out to hunt them down, then try to clean them up. It doesn't matter if you can't catch them. These people can't escape."

"Yes." The two team members answered together. After this victory, their morale was very high and they became very convinced of Chen Chuan.

But first we need to dispose of the things here, especially the body of the Iron Demon, to completely burn it to prevent future troubles.

At the same time, this man and his subordinates' armor, some accompanying documents, jade seals, and important items had to be taken back as proof of their identity.

After all this was done, more than half an hour had passed. But at this moment, there was still no sign of the cavalry soldiers who had been sent out. If these people had not come back yet, it meant that they had received the news and fled. We still had to chase them.

Chen Chuan looked towards the gradually dying fire, and seeing that the things there had completely turned into ashes, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go."

Qin Qingque took a few steps forward, opened the car door for Chen Chuan, and saluted, "Captain, please get in the car."

Chen Chuan nodded and got into the car. After the vehicle started, he glanced at the sky. The battle just now, including the time before and after processing, took about three hours.

He didn't expect that the battle would end so quickly. He had thought beforehand, if the two sides were deadlocked, would the battle drag on into the night?

Although he was not unprepared and had already drawn the ceremony on the coats of his two teammates, the key was the activity index, which had too many variables.

However, judging from the battle situation, the Iron Demon had no such intention at all. He might also be afraid of the night, or he might be eager to decide the outcome and did not want to be outflanked.

From this point of view, the intelligence deception created by Advisor Rao was actually very useful and played a key role in promoting the cause. It might even help to lure out the traitor.

At this time he said: "Executive Qin, did those cavalrymen carry radios with them?"

Qin Qingque replied, "Captain, no, they should have moved ahead of time, but if they knew that the Iron Demon was killed, they would probably destroy the radio station, and it would be difficult to trace the source."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "There's no need to force it." This is not their business in the first place. It would be best if they could help find clues, but it doesn't matter if they can't. They just need to do their part.

When they followed the traces left by the cavalry and went around to the back, they found that this cavalry team had stayed here before, but had obviously dispersed and retreated again.

After discussing it, they felt that the remaining cavalrymen were no longer a big threat, so they did not pursue them any further.

Chen Chuan said: "Executive Qin, you can send the message to the rear now. Also, thank Consultant Rao." He knew that intelligence deception was not that simple, and Consultant Rao definitely took the risk.

"Yes, Captain."

In the No. 73 station, Consultant Rao had been waiting in front of the radio station. He was very worried the whole time, not only about Chen Chuan and his group, but also about himself.

Just as Chen Chuan guessed, intelligence deception is something that should be used at critical moments. If it doesn't work, he will be held responsible.

At this time, the telegraph operator looked up and said, "Advisor, there's a telegram."

"Coming? Hurry!"

Advisor Rao urged, saying that the telegram meant that the person was fine and it was not the worst outcome.

When the telegraph operator wrote down the code, he didn't need to translate it at all. He just took it and looked at it. His eyes widened at first, then his hands began to tremble, and he could no longer suppress the joy on his face.

But after he looked at it several times, he suddenly felt a little worried, so he sent a message back to confirm. After two calls, the other party said that they would bring back the iron demon's head and its personal belongings. Only then did he relax.

With a smile on his face, he told the telegraph operator: "Send a message to the command center and tell them..."

Having said that, he slowed down his speech and tried to make his words clear.

"It has been confirmed that at around 10 o'clock this morning, the Iron Demon and his subordinates encountered our elite team that took the initiative to attack in the middle of the river section numbered 24."

He paused.

“After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, we successfully beheaded the Iron Demon and two of his warriors, and annihilated more than thirty elite cavalry soldiers, leaving only a dozen or so cavalrymen escaping.

Note: The team is led by Level 1 Executor Chen Chuan, and its members include Yuan Qiuyuan, Qin Qingque, and tactical consultant Rao Qili, etc...."

At this time, he looked at his watch. "Time: November 26, 2:23 p.m." He looked up and said to the telegraph operator, "Report it like this."
