Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 533: Conquering Nations

Commissioner Liang stared at the rows of cavalry formations, thinking, "As expected, they've come."

Old Imperial Family remnants have always dreamed of restoration and reclaiming this world.

With Yi Mu's Splitting this time, coupled with the breach in the World Ring, the Old Imperial Family couldn't possibly not get involved. The only question is how much Strength they've committed this time.

Fortunately, they weren't unprepared.

This is the north of the Ocean Abundance District, originally one of the most unstable areas of Central City, and with a relatively flat coast opposite, Central City has set up a large number of military facilities here, and also stationed an Army.

After discovering the abnormality ahead, the airships that were already patrolling in the sky immediately flew towards it.

And in the rear, there was a rumbling sound, as the cannons in the Base began to roar. However, when they hit the Sea surface, it seemed as if they were only passing through a layer of phantom, not touching anything, only causing the seawater to explode.

This is because although the Fissure looks close at hand, the fusion of the two worlds has not truly been completed. The cavalry has not yet crossed over from the other side. At this time, only sound and light images are leaking here.

At this moment, the centermost row of cavalry moved to both sides, and under the banners, a tall figure seated on horseback emerged from within, stepping forward and crossing the Fissure.

He was completely covered from head to toe in thick Armor, making his face unclear, and there were bursts of bright light reflected from the armor plates on his chest. He, along with his horse, was almost five meters tall, with a white plume on top of his helmet. At this moment, he was holding the reins in one hand and a black iron Spear tied with white tassels in the other.

After coming out of the formation, he slowly moved towards this side.

At this moment, the airship had arrived nearby, and the machine gun muzzles below spat out flames, opening fire on him.

However, the bullets seemed to hit something invisible, and bursts of bright light flashed around him, causing the bullets to fall.

At this moment, more artillery fire landed nearby, splashing large columns of water, but the knight seemed unaffected, still advancing unhurriedly, his hooves stepping on the sea tide, with the waves splashing, almost as if he was walking on the sea.

The cavalry behind him stepped forward in unison, the wide knight array stretching endlessly. This movement was like a moving long wall, and a unique aura and grandeur of a classical military formation swept over them.

Commissioner Liang stared at the tall figure, looking at the flag behind him and the gorgeous armor he was wearing. This was a Conquering Nation General officially appointed by the Old Imperial Family!

The so-called Conquering Nation General is a title conferred by the Old Imperial Family, implying that the one who receives this title has the ability to conquer a nation alone.

Such a person, if placed in the new era, using the current term, would be a… Martial Artist!

He asked, "Has that one arrived yet?"

The female assistant said, "Not yet."

Commissioner Liang sighed inwardly. This person said he'd arrive on time before twelve o'clock, but more than three hours had passed and he still hadn't appeared. If that person opposite were to charge over, the Army opposite simply wouldn't be able to stop him.

If he really can't make it, then they'll have to...

But at this moment, the opponent suddenly reined in his horse, and the hooves suddenly stopped.

Because a person was standing in front of him at some unknown time. He was wearing a blue plaid shirt, mature and handsome, but looking a bit haggard and decadent. He had his hands in his pockets and exhaled a breath, "Fortunately, I made it in time."

He casually glanced at the cavalry formation behind him, then looked up at the figure high on horseback, smiled, and cupped his fist, "I am Xue Shou, here to ask for Gao Ming's guidance."

But after he finished speaking, the knight remained standing still.

He also stood there, seemingly relaxed.

For a moment, there was only the sound of the tide surging around.

At this moment, a flickering light emanated from both of them, but it was visible that the seawater beneath their feet formed a depression where they stood, as if the seawater had sunk down.

Commissioner Liang breathed a sigh of relief. This person was a Martial Artist that the Capital had specially sent to support, considering the situation in Jibei Province.

The opposite side knows that as long as there is an equivalent Strength on their side, then this battle may not happen.

Because without sufficient profit to drive them, people of this level will not easily act outside the Convergence Zone, and the opponent's cavalry will not really charge their pre-set positions.

This cavalry is likely just used to contain them, forcing them to maintain a Strength here.

So if this place doesn't move, they'll likely look for a breakthrough point elsewhere. This is the most classic use of unorthodox tactics.

So where will it be?

He looked at the display of Central City on the light screen. No matter what, the breakthrough must be from a formed Fissure, and it must be a larger scale Fissure.

This is also related to Split Offspring. If it is not recovered in time and allowed to exist outside for a long time, then the offspring will only continue to expand their living environment, which will gradually tear the Fissure, causing the gap to become larger and more stable.

Therefore, timely recovery of the Splitting body is extremely important, but at the moment it is being hindered to varying degrees. Fortunately, the command center has already transferred a large number of subsequent support personnel, hoping the situation can be improved.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Watchtower's voice sounded: "Twenty-three target obstacles have been eliminated, estimated to be recovered within thirty minutes, five are pending assessment, one reaction force has been defeated and lost combat capability, and emergency team members are currently engaging the blocking target."

After hearing this, Commissioner Liang immediately asked people to bring up the specific situation of that location.

In the light screen, they could see a nearly stable Fissure flickering nearby, and in front of it, there was a figure nearly three meters tall standing there with his arms crossed, with a long face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes, about thirty-seven or eight years old, and just standing there exuded a magnificent aura.

In front of him, within a half-kilometer range, were more than twenty members of the reaction force who had been knocked down. The surrounding firearms and vehicles were smashed, and one was burning fiercely.

Through the information provided by the Watchtower, the identity of this person was marked on the light screen:

Heavens' Forgiveness GangEternal Life Paviliondisciple, Chang Kuanghai.

And at this moment, the emergency team that arrived later was trying to kill him.

This team consists of two Third-Limit Martial Artists plus three gunman and two logistics members, which is enough to deal with ordinary Martial Combat, but the current situation is very bad.

Because they had to get to the Split Offspring behind the Fissure, the two had to rush up without being sure. One of the Martial Artists slashed at Chang Kuanghai's arm, but only cut out a white mark.

He was grabbed by the wrist and then, with a snap, his wrist was directly broken by the opponent. Another team member took the opportunity to stab the person's neck with a sword.

But Chang Kuanghai remained motionless, his neck only slightly dented. With a wave of his hand, this team member instantly had half of his facial bones shattered and flew out far away.

The team member whose wrist was grabbed immediately pulled out a pistol and fired repeatedly at his face at close range, but it was useless. The bullets only made small dents on it and then fell off.

Before he could continue, a huge fist hit his face head-on, and he fell backward in a spurt of blood.

Chang Kuanghai looked at the team member he had knocked away in the distance and said in a loud and powerful voice, "You are not the people I am waiting for, go back."

The team member asked in an unclear voice, "Who are you waiting for?"

Chang Kuanghai did not answer, but crossed his arms again and stood firmly there with his back to the Fissure.

Inside the command hall, Commissioner Liang looked at this scene and said silently, "Heavens' Forgiveness Fist then..."

The martial arts of the Heavens' Forgiveness Gang are passed down from the Old Imperial Family's Heavens' Forgiveness Army, and the Heavens' Forgiveness Fist is an Iron Body Training boxing technique used to charge and break through formations.

Massacre cities and destroy countries, only Heavens' Forgiveness allows it. This is the origin of the words "Heavens' Forgiveness".

Ordinary Martial Artists are definitely not this person's opponent.

And this person appearing here at this time makes one suspect whether he's related to the Old Imperial Family that appeared before, especially with a formed Fissure behind him and an escaped Split Offspring on the other side.

It must be dealt with as soon as possible!

He asked, "Which emergency team is available to be mobilized recently?"

The Watchtower queried for a moment and replied, "The nearest emergency team is twenty kilometers away, it will take fifteen to twenty minutes to arrive at the fastest speed... A Ministry of Defense combat squad is found to be on standby within seven kilometers nearby."

Commissioner Liang glanced at it and found that it was Chen Chuan's squad. He asked, "Is the communication clear?"

"The squad's signal has always been on our platform."

Commissioner Liang hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "Let Captain Chen lead the team to solve this target!"

Inside the Mansion, Chen Chuan, after the Heavenly Gate was opened, seeing that there were no obvious signs of trouble around, was looking for messages on the platform. At this time, the entire squad suddenly received an order from the Ministry of Defense.

The three team members looked at him together: "Captain?"

Chen Chuan looked at the location marked on the map, which was not far from them, and said, "We'll go over immediately." He threw the key to the armed vehicle to Qin Qing Que, "Executive Officer Qin, you drive."

"Yes!"

The four people were already prepared. After an order was given, they immediately walked out of the house, while ten Sword Guards remained in the house, with a machine gun protection net available. If there were no Fissures directly appearing here, it would be enough to deal with ordinary people.

But just as the group walked out and had not yet gotten into the car, Chen Chuan seemed to sense something, stopped, and looked outside.

At the end of the road, a group of people wearing Outer Ocean Martial Combat ancient costumes were walking towards them. At the front was a person with short hair, round-frame glasses, wearing a red shirt and black skirt, with a green-sheathed Long Sword at his waist.

There were five people in this group, almost all Third-Limit Martial Artists.

Yuan Qiu Yuan, Qin Qing Que, and Su Wei also saw them. Their expressions became serious, and they scattered to both sides, pulling out their guns and making a gesture towards the back of the Mansion.

The person at the front raised his hand, and the people behind him stopped together. He walked over alone.

He stopped about twenty meters away from Chen Chuan's group, bowed to Chen Chuan, then straightened up and showed a gentle smile.

"I am Gong Ying Changxiu, Mr. Chen should have received my challenge, right?"
