Chapter 38: The Great Rout (6)
Ye Gao smoothly converted all the points into RMB, and then transferred them to his personal account in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
After doing this, Ye Gao immediately left the room, and did not take the belongings that he had packed up.
Mainly considering that if you leave with something, it will be too attention-grabbing, and it will be bad if the little girls in the investigation team see it and trigger a bad association.
Leaving the room, Ye Gao hurriedly returned to the command center, looking as if he was in a hurry to go back to command the front-line battle.
But he was only halfway there, when no one was paying attention to him on either side of the street, and he turned around and went around behind a row of buildings under construction.
It's a row of five-story buildings under construction, and there are no human mages on the site, only demons and natives working on all kinds of machinery. The number of human mages is limited, and it is impossible to keep an eye on all the works all day long, and for a construction project like this, which is not important, you just need to come and see the progress of the construction every day to ensure that it is progressing normally.
Seeing Ye Gao sneakily turn around, no one from the evil ghosts and natives on the construction site dared to ask questions.
After this period of running-in, the demons and natives have clearly realized their inferior status in the colony, and any human mage is not something they can afford to offend, and it is the right way to work honestly and not talk nonsense and ask questions.
Ye Gao took advantage of the cover of the construction site building, took out his puppet from his laptop, opened the cabin cover and got in, unloaded all the weapons on the puppet and threw them to the ground, and then picked up a pile of stones on the construction site, and left the construction site like an ordinary construction ghost puppet.
Ye Gao's goal is very clear, since the shape is corrupted, his responsibility is inevitable, then he does not plan to sit still, but to escape from hell, return to the world, and then immediately hide far away, never to appear again, anyway, the money he earned during this time is enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.
For security reasons, even the virtual gates of hell built in the computer cannot be taken anywhere without the approval of Yong Bowen, and the computer that built the virtual gates of hell is not connected to any network and remains physically isolated.
Whether he is walking from the virtual hell gate or the physical hell gate, if he wants to escape from hell, Ye Gao must first return to Pioneer City and avoid the attention of the company's high-level officials who know about the personnel changes in the front-line command center before he can pass through the hell gate.
However, Ye Gao is quite confident in this.
He was sure that the changes in the front-line command center must be known only to a small number of people in the rear, and this part of the people had so much to do that it was impossible to stare at the gates of hell every day to see who entered and who came out.
Flee back to Pioneer City before the outbreak of erosion on the front line will be considered a victory!
But Ye Gao didn't know that just as he escaped from the settlement where the command center was located, on the west bank of the Ghost River Bridge in front of him, a small group of indigenous troops of the Fire Tree Dynasty were trembling and staring at the metal bridge across the Ghost River.
This small force was originally part of the Western Frontier Force of the Fire Tree Dynasty, and had been ordered to assemble in the western border area, preparing to launch a tentative attack on an enemy of unknown origin.
However, the enemy's movements from the east bank of the Ghost River far exceeded the imagination of the general command of the western border troops, and the movement was like a thunderbolt, and the assembled border troops were easily routed.
The battle unfolded too quickly, and most of the western transit troops were not disappeared, but scattered in groups on the vast land in the west after the overall collapse.
If the normal plan continues, these routed stragglers will be wiped out by the westward troops who have freed up their hands in the interval when the first phase of the battle has come to an end.
But the fact is that the westward advance troops patronized and buried their heads* and forgot about this matter long ago.
This small force was made up of small stragglers, led by a junior general among them, and they marched forward in fear, avoiding the enemy who must have been clearing them out, and finally made it all the way to the banks of the Ghost River, where they saw the Ghost River Bridge that turned the moat into a thoroughfare.
All of the Fire Tree Frontier Force soldiers knew that the enemy was coming from the wilderness on the east bank of the Wraith River, but they didn't know what kind of enemy it was.
Only a very small number of high-ranking generals guessed from the limited information that the enemy they were facing this time was an invading human race from the human world, but they were also blind to the specific situation of these human beings.
And now, this small force of defeated soldiers will change that.
It has to be said that this small army of defeated troops had an extraordinary temporary leader of extraordinary courage, and after a brief discussion, this small leader made a decision that would later make the Fire Tree Empire's higher-ups dumbfounded: cross the Wraith River Bridge and go deep into the wilderness on the east bank to see what is going on with this group of enemies from the east bank.
A very important factor in this decision was that they did not find any guards at the bridgehead.
Originally, the bridge was garrisoned by troops.
At the beginning, Li Ruiliu's troops were stationed here to defend and built a simple bridgehead to protect the settlement.
But now, all the fighting forces have been brought to the front line by the battle mages*, and there is not even half a ghost in such an important place!
This brave little army boldly crossed the simple bunker-like settlement, boarded the Ghost River Bridge, and walked all the way east along the bridge, so smooth that they could not believe it, and crossed the bridge in peace, and set foot on the wild land on the east bank of the Ghost River.
This wild land is indeed the same as the legend, barren and lonely, the land is full of man-devouring yin fire cracks, and from a distance, there is no life in sight.
But in this desolate land, there is one thing that is not in the legend.
It was a man-made road, flat, wide, and neat, like a dragon crossing the cracked wilderness, stretching all the way from the horizon to the Ghost River Bridge.
This is undoubtedly an extremely huge project, even if the Fire Tree Dynasty dominates the strength of the hell layer, it is an impossible task to build such a road on the earth where the earth is full of yin and fire.
As for the wild natives, it is even more impossible to do so.
So when they saw this avenue, every member of the army realized that it was paved by the enemy!
Even ordinary soldiers who no longer have a strategic concept, facing such an avenue, can think of what the enemy is trying to do!
Bravely small forces decided to continue along the road until contact with the enemy.
