So it was you who ruined my plans!
At this moment, the airship had come to a stop at the Third Division's base. The Fifth Princess said to He Jinqiu, "He, you go down and protect Marquis Bolton. I have two more things to say to the steward."
After He Jinqiu left, the Fifth Princess calmly said, "I'm giving you a task: observe He Jinqiu carefully. I want to know what his purpose is."
Qing Chen thought to himself, "The Fifth Princess must have given He Jinqiu a similar task."
So, you've really come to the right person...
Theoretically speaking, the Third Division would definitely be doomed if either Qing Chen or He Jinqiu were present, but in the end, the Third Division managed to get both of them together.
At this moment, the Fifth Princess suddenly said to Qingchen, "If you ensure Boton's safe return, I will grant you a lifetime of wealth and honor, and I will also give you a forbidden item."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "Protecting Marquis Bolton is my duty."
...
...
As they escorted Marquis Bolton off the airship, the former commander of the Third Division had already left to report for duty, leaving his chief of staff to hand over the reins to Bolton.
In wartime, everything should be done quickly and simply.
The fifth princess's airship departed; she had other things to do.
Bolton looked at the filthy outpost and thought to himself that it was not as comfortable as the outpost. He should have known better than to try to achieve great things.
In order to win over his top henchman, Qing Chen put his arm around He Jinqiu's shoulder and said with a smile, "He, after we enter the forbidden land, I'll have to take good care of you. Marquis Bolton and I aren't strong enough, so we'll have to rely on you."
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, definitely."
Right now, Boss He was already secretly plotting how to use someone else to kill Qing Chen...
It seems the Crimson Blood Squad has a grudge against this butler? We need to create an opportunity for them.
The chief of staff of the Third Division looked eagerly at Marquis Bolton: "Commander, the soldiers have assembled and are waiting for you to speak."
Bolton cleared his throat and went up to deliver a long speech, the draft of which was even written for him by Qingchen.
However, the soldiers of the Third Division had no interest in listening; the cannon fodder here all knew what fate awaited them.
It was at this moment that the chief of staff of the Third Division suddenly received an order.
The commander of the Second Army Group issued an order: The Third Division has been reinforced and is to immediately set off to explore the Forbidden Forest. It must reach the B79 area within 72 hours to discover the rules, and after discovering the rules, continue to advance and discover the rules of the B80 area within 168 hours.
The order came too suddenly, and it seemed like it had been planned all along.
Marquis Bolton muttered, "The First Army and the Second Army are now under the command of Duke Storm. Is that old bastard trying to get me killed?!"
The chief of staff said in a low voice, "My lord, we must set off. The army group's order is red. If we do not depart within 15 minutes, we may be sent to a military court."
“Let’s go, let’s go,” Marquis Bolton sighed. “Let’s go quickly.”
After saying that, he moved closer to Qing Chen: "Butler, you will ride in the same tracked vehicle as me. Remember to have those experts guard us and not allow them to act on their own."
The Forbidden Forest has a complex terrain that ordinary vehicles cannot enter; only all-terrain tracked vehicles can pass through. Each tracked vehicle carries twelve people, including Bolton, Qingchen, and He Jinqiu.
Marquis Bolton was genuinely afraid of death, and being new to the place, he had no one to rely on but Qing Chen.
The troops set off slowly, without even a departure ceremony.
There weren't many tracked vehicles, and the Third Division didn't need to equip its cannon fodder troops with such things, so the entire division only had about forty tracked vehicles, which were used by the officers.
Even with their faces grim, they could only walk slowly alongside the tracked vehicle.
Black cursed the butler countless times in his heart, wanting nothing more than to kill him.
After they entered the Forbidden Forest, the chief of staff said in the communications channel: "Everyone, listen up, we are about to enter Area A1. Everyone immediately imitate your superiors and do the same thing."
The next second, the chief of staff inside the tracked vehicle began to scrape his eye sockets.
Qing Chen was stunned. What kind of forbidden zone rules are these? Why do I have to do eye exercises...?
The key question is, who discovered this rule?
The next moment, all 8,000 men of the Third Division obediently followed their officers in doing eye exercises. After the officers confirmed that all the soldiers had done it correctly, they would report on the communication channel: "Iron Blood Battalion complete."
"The Mighty Wind Camp is complete."
The chief of staff checked the troop sequence on the LCD panel, making sure all troops had completed the process before proceeding.
In fact, the Forbidden Forest of the Western Continent is formed by connecting 317 forbidden lands. Once the Forbidden Forest was formed, it no longer followed the rules of any one forbidden land.
Instead, if you want to move from area A1 to area A2, you must do one thing right in order to qualify for area A2!
Otherwise, you'll be immediately attacked by all the animals and plants there as soon as you enter area A2.
To reach area B79, the Third Division had to pass through areas A1-80 and then B1-78, a total of 158 areas—a 'key' to advancement discovered through the sacrifice of millions of lives.
Upon entering area A2, the chief of staff once again activated the communications channel: "All personnel, listen to my command and imitate your superiors."
At this moment, the chief of staff winked his right eye at Qing Chen beside him.
Just like being electrocuted, Qingchen's hair stood on end!
The chief of staff pointed to the back row.
Qing Chen winked his right eye at He Jinqiu in the back row, and He Jinqiu's hair stood on end!
Qingchen wondered, who discovered this rule?
The rules are bizarre, but the people who discovered them are even more bizarre, okay?
Fighting the Giants in such a place means that the Giants were still in a primitive state and didn't know how to use technology. Otherwise, they would have wiped out the Roosevelt Kingdom's army in no time.
It's important to know that the giants born in the Forbidden Forest don't have to follow the rules.
Rules are for outsiders.
Marquis Bolton was somewhat desperate, but the virtual reality glasses could directly receive satellite signals, allowing him to continue playing in the superconducting world.
The problem is that he had just gone out to sea with his family to fish with electricity, and before he could even start fishing for a short while, he was pulled out to do eye exercises. After fishing for a while longer, he was pulled out again to blink and discharge electricity.
Area A3 is even more extreme; everyone has to get off the tracked vehicle and do a split.
The Marquis of Bolton's trousers were also ripped.
Where can I go to reason with this?
As evening approached, the sun completely disappeared behind the distant mountains, and darkness fell.
The Third Division set up camp on the spot, and it was only at this time that everyone could take a short rest.
After a 70-kilometer forced march in 6 hours, they arrived at area A18, with even the B-level experts covered in mud.
The soldiers took off their clothes, had their comrades help them remove the terrifying leeches from their bodies, and then sat blankly by the campfire.
He Jinqiu silently looked towards the Forbidden Forest, as if waiting for something.
Only Qingchen knew that this Boss He had left marks on tree trunks along the way.
Nobody knows what those markings mean.
...
...
In the dark Forbidden Forest, monkeys dart through the canopy, leaping and nimbly swinging from branch to branch, concealed within the dense canopy.
Strangely, the monkeys' eyes were unfocused, as if they were being controlled by someone.
Soon, the monkey troop began leaping down from the treetops and searching the trunks until they found some strange markings.
After finding the mark on the tree, the monkeys chattered and climbed back up the tree, swinging back into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
The leaves rustled and rubbed against each other; no one knew they had ever been there.
Deeper into the darkness of the Forbidden Forest, Gale Thunder leaned against a towering tree.
At that moment, a giant sitting next to him opened his eyes and said, "Hehehe."
(The monkey troop found the mark left by the man, who located the position of the 3rd Division commander and officers, instructing us to completely eliminate this unit and kill all the officers. This means the 3rd Division will need at least a month to rebuild a well-trained reconnaissance force.)
The Giants Dynasty had fought the Third Division many times. This cannon fodder army was actually easy to kill, but they could never find the key figures. Simply killing some cannon fodder could not stop the Third Division from continuing its exploration. Instead, it would make these giants electronically marked, attracting deadly attacks from the air.
Now that someone has marked the location of the Third Division's commander and officers, this is a golden opportunity.
This force is not very effective in combat, but it is disgusting. The Great Powers do not want the Roosevelt Kingdom to discover all the rules.
A giant stood up in the woods: "Whoa!"
(Can we still trust him?)
The gale responded, "Wind!"
(Dudu and the others have been rescued. Although we suffered a defeat last time, none of our comrades were killed. Moreover, the information he provided was correct; there was just an unexpected incident.)
The giant who had spoken earlier said, "Hehehe."
(Gale, your reckless attack on Outpost No. 9 has alerted the enemy. If you don't earn merit, you will definitely be punished by the King when you return. You have no way out.)
Gale: "Wind!"
(Whether I have a way out or not is not important; what matters is that I will not allow these filthy humans to set foot on our home. Kill!)
Hehehe!
(That person reminded us that there are over two hundred B-level gene warriors protecting the division commander. We must rendezvous with Ai Ai Yun to have a chance of disrupting them. We can't be impulsive; this time, we must be absolutely certain. If you return carrying the heads of thousands of humans, the King will forgive you.)
"wind!"
(Set off to reunite with our companions. Before dawn, kill all humans!)
After saying this, hundreds of giants stood up in the darkness and rushed off into the distance with menacing momentum.
...
...
Next to the Third Division's headquarters, Marquis Bolton put his virtual reality glasses back on.
Qing Chen got up to go to the forest to relieve himself, while He Jinqiu took the opportunity to get up and go to the black side.
When no one was paying attention, He Jinqiu used sign language to say to the black-clad man: "Do you want to kill the butler? If you do, do as I instruct."
His black eyes lit up.
