Chapter 539                                    
           									
The approaching troop was formed by the War Chariot Troop, the Holy Wind Troop, and the Black Dragon Troop, which were all elite among the elites . 
There were more than 30 Venerables . 
The Third Legion would normally send an upper troop to confront such a lineup, but they only had two battle groups from the middle troop and the Shadow Pursuing Troop at that moment . 
The Shadow Pursuing Troop usually acted on their own, as they weren't even a battle group . 
Facing such a huge gap in strength, Zhao Wenhao pulled a long face . 
"The Dragon Rebel Army's overall strength isn't a match for ours .  Since they've sent so many elites here, their force must be weak in other places .  We just need to try our best to not lose this place," Jiang Chen said . 
"Yeah . " The three corps commanders agreed with him .  They looked around for good locations to deploy the defense . 
There weren't endless rounds of battle on the battlefield .  The Dragon Rebel Army didn't waste any of their time .  A few thirty-yard-long chariots charged over before anyone else could . 
These chariots were almost the biggest Jiang Chen had seen since the start of the war .  They were like moving castles . 
They were so powerful that even before they reached the enemy, they could already be heard muffling . 
The chariots didn't lose speed because of their big size .  The friction with the air generated a layer of flames on their surfaces . 
"Get out of the way!"
This wasn't something the middle troop could deal with .  As soon as Zhao Wenhao gave the order, all troops and battalions got out of the way . 
At the same time, a chain as thick as an arm reached out from the end of each chariot, blocking the whole width of the sky . 
This was a strategy usually used in battles fought on the sea—to bar escape routes with iron chains . 
    
Although the chariots had failed, the Bright Moon Battle Group and the Tiger Battle Group separated from each other due to them .  As a result, they could neither combine their formations nor fight together . 
The Holy Wind Troop and the Black Dragon Troop waited for a moment to launch a fatal attack, like a hawk staring from the air at a rabbit on the ground . 
Suddenly, the Red Flame Battalion left the team and flew in a different direction alone .  It seemed like they were escaping, but no one believed it to be true, since this was the Red Flame Battalion . 
Whoosh!
Then the Holy Wind Troop and the Black Dragon Troop, fully prepared, attacked right away .  They followed the Red Flame Battalion . 
"The Red Flame Battalion did this to keep us safe!"
Jiang Chen was the enemy's final target .  Since the Red Flame Battalion had left, the Bright Moon Troop, the Tiger Troop, and the Shadow Pursuing Troop were all safe . 
"Damn it!" the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop cursed .  This helpless feeling was killing him . 
"Jiang Chen can't die .  He plays an important role on the battlefield!" Zhao Wenhao said .  He was going to send a letter to the warship again to ask for their help . 
"Don't worry about me .  Set out for another one of the seven cities .  Quickly . "
However, Jiang Chen's voice came out of the three commanders' tokens .  Since all of them were in the southeast, they could communicate through their tokens . 
Jiang Chen spoke again, as if he was afraid they wouldn't listen to him .  "Consider the big picture .  We can't allow the Dragon Rebel Army to deploy the ward!"
"We can't abandon the Red Flame Battalion .  That's unfair to you!" Zhao Wenhao shouted loudly towards his token . 
Everyone on the scene thought the same . 
Putting the loss of the Red Flame Battalion aside, since the start of the war, they had played a crucial role . 
                 
The soldiers of the North Mansion Battalion and the Flying Mount Battalion all felt guilty . 
"As you said, they're targeting me .  As long as I'm alive, you can take advantage of the precious time to turn the tide of the battle and win . "
Jiang Chen's voice was as calm as ever, as if he wasn't being chased . 
"But there's one thing .  My hometown is suffering from the turmoil brought on by the Dragon Rebel Army .  If the dynasty wants to do something for me, please help resolve the crisis there . "
Then the tokens went quiet . 
"Jiang Chen?! Report your direction! Jiang Chen!"
Zhao Wenhao's eyes turned red .  By then, even the War Chariot Troop that had tried to stop them had left .  They were left alone there .
