Chapter 66: Departure
As soon as he got out of the car, Yilan Fanxing seemed to sense it, and turned his head to look at Liang Yun.
"I should have thought that the person escorting me would be yours." Yilan Fanxing looked at Liang Yun and smiled.
Then he suddenly remembered Zhou Xueyan who came with Liang Yun, and turned to Zhou Xueyan to say hello.
Liang Yun, Zhou Xueyan, and Yilan Fanxing chatted, and the rest of Yilan Fanxing's subordinates didn't understand what the three of them were talking about because they didn't understand Chinese.
"What's going on over there?" Yilan Fanxing pointed to several metal towers in the distance and asked Liang Yun.
"It looks like a high platform for launching rockets!" Liang Yun couldn't be sure, after all, he had only seen the scene of the rocket launch on TV, so he looked at Zhou Xueyan.
"That's right, it's a rocket launch pad! It won't be long before our satellites will be launched, and many things will be much more convenient by then. Zhou Xueyan said without concealment, and there is really nothing to hide.
"Sputnik? I didn't expect you to launch satellites so soon. Elam Fanxing muttered that she had been learning about all kinds of information on Earth through the computer network recently, and she knew something about satellites, nuclear bombs, and so on.
"No way, modern warfare relies heavily on communications, so we must launch satellites as quickly as possible! Speaking of which, this satellite was temporarily requisitioned, but fortunately, the environment of this planet is not much different from that of the earth, otherwise it would be really difficult to do. Zhou Xueyan explained.
"Liang Yun, do you want to learn the language of our country?" Yilan Fanxing said suddenly.
"Let me learn your language?" Liang Yun was surprised.
"Since you want to escort me back, it will be very troublesome if you can't understand our language along the way! My power-up that can replicate language can also be used twice, just in time for you to learn our language. Ylang Fanxing said.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Liang Yun nodded.
Then Yilan Fanxing stood in front of Liang Yun and placed a magic prop that looked like a gem on his forehead, and then a burst of light rose from the gem, enveloping Yilan Fanxing's head, and finally gathered and injected into Liang Yun's forehead.
Liang Yun only felt a mental trance, and there was an extra language in his brain out of thin air.
At this moment, a special forces team that would escort Yilan Fanxing and his party with Liang Yun arrived.
A team of twelve people drove six armed off-road vehicles.
Under Zhou Xueyan's introduction, Liang Yun met Captain Zhang Yu, the captain of the special forces team, and Captain Zhang Yu also made it clear that he would do his best to assist Liang Yun in completing the task.
Liang Yun expressed his hope that everyone would cooperate happily.
He also introduced the acquaintance of Zhang Yu and Yilan Fanxing, as for the subordinates of Yilan Fanxing, because of the language barrier, the two sides also said hello symbolically, and then everyone set off.
Ylang Fanxing and her maid Yuxia and the head of the Silver Knights, Nordland, and the other twelve knights.
Plus twelve special forces and Liang Yun.
Twenty-eight men in all, driving six armed off-road vehicles, loaded as much ammunition and petrol as possible, set off.
Although the knights under Yilan Fanxing were very eager to continue riding, considering that the speed of riding was too slow, and they needed enough speed to get rid of possible pursuers and return to the country as soon as possible, they finally accepted the option of riding a car.
Liang Yun rode in the first off-road vehicle with Yilan Fanxing and Zhang Yu, as well as another special soldier.
Yuxia and Nordland, along with two special forces, rode in a second off-road vehicle.
The remaining four cars were occupied by three knights and two special forces.
The special forces drove out of the cordon of the forward base, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the grassland, leaving behind the forward base that was in full swing and was like a construction site.
In fact, if a route to the Cloud Empire can be opened, twenty-eight people will be able to fly to their destination in a few hours on a transport plane, so how can they trek through mountains and rivers like this.
But the current situation is, not to mention that the Cloud Empire does not have a runway for transport planes to land.
Yilan Fanxing doesn't even know where it is still under the control of the Cloud Empire, and where it has fallen into the hands of the orcs, so even if it is parachuted, otherwise if it falls into the territory of the orcs, it will be blind.
There are no satellites in the sky yet, so there is no way to do reconnaissance.
So in the end, after thinking about it, the above decided to let Yilan Fanxing go by land.
The off-road vehicle galloped on the prairie, although there was no smooth road, but still ran at a speed of fifty or sixty kilometers per hour on the relatively flat grassland, Liang Yun on the back seat of the car opened the window, the blowing wind on his face, and his right hand had quietly held the hand of Princess Yilan Fanxing who was sitting on his right side.
Yilan Fanxing did not resist, but also shook his hand.
Zhang Yu, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, naturally noticed the small movements of the two, but he could only pretend not to see this kind of thing.
In this way, Liang Yun and Yilan Fanxing quietly enjoyed the journey.
The buggy is slightly northerly to the east, because the corridor connecting the eastern and western continents is in that direction.
About an hour after leaving the forward base, the six off-road vehicles were already sixty kilometers away from the forward base.
The convoy also came to a stretch of small mounds, although these mounds were not high, at most two or three meters high, but the speed of the convoy immediately slowed down, from fifty or sixty kilometers per hour to thirty or forty kilometers per hour, and occasionally even slower.
It was at this moment that Zhang Yu suddenly received a message.
"There is news from the command that a large number of enemy forces have been spotted ahead." Zhang Yu said loudly.
The atmosphere between Liang Yun and Yilan Fanxing was immediately interrupted.
"What's going on?" Liang Yun asked.
Zhang Yu took out a notebook and called up an aerial picture, which was obviously transmitted to him by the headquarters.
I saw a large group of orcs above, and even a large number of riding a kind of black wolf as mounts, which was mixed with a large number of Beamon giant beasts, and the number was not tens of thousands, and they were coming in the direction of the convoy, and at the speed of the off-road vehicle, I am afraid that it would not take a few minutes to meet.
"This is the picture just taken by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from the command center, looking at their target, it should be towards the forward base, so it will collide with us head-on, it seems that the existence of the forward base has been exposed." Zhang Yu pointed out the picture to Liang Yun and Yilan Fanxing and said.
"Is the number of enemy troops determined?" Liang Yun asked.
"The command has probably estimated that the number of orcs is between forty thousand and fifty thousand, of which the wolf-riding orcs on the wolf account for about one-third of the number, and the number of Beamon is five hundred." Zhang Yu replied.
"Forty or fifty thousand orcs, and five hundred Beamon? What should we do? Yilan Fanxing instantly became nervous, even with her strength, at most she could fight one or two Bimon, and five hundred Bimeng would have a headache just thinking about it, not to mention forty or fifty thousand orcs.
As for the power of modern technological weapons, although Yilan Fanxing has seen it once in the previous square massacre, and later learned more about it through the Internet, but at the moment they only have six off-road vehicles and six machine guns on them, and some more weapons carried by twelve special forces, relying on these things, even if the power of science and technology is strong, Yilan Fanxing does not feel that it can withstand tens of thousands of troops.
"Do you need to retreat?" Liang Yun asked Zhang Yudao.
"Don't worry, this place is still within the range of our artillery!" Zhang Yu said confidently.
