Chapter 1461: Chapter 1458: Enemy Forces Approaching

After returning, they pooled their ideas together, and finally, Kuang Baoshan came up with a good plan and quickly went to tell Kuang Chenggong.

Kuang Chenggong summoned the captains of the three Assassination Teams to inquire about the preparations for the mountain assault in a few days. At this moment, Kuang Baoshan felt the time was right and hastily stepped forward to speak.

"Master, I have a good plan, but I don’t know if it’s feasible. It allows us to reach the top of the Assassin Group’s mountain without a frontal attack, and their large army will be partly blocked on the mountainside. Then, we can launch a front and rear pincer attack, perfectly annihilating them." ℴ

"Oh? Let’s hear it, how do we reach the mountaintop?" Kuang Chenggong, upon hearing Kuang Baoshan’s words, knew he must have a way, but getting to the mountaintop was a problem.

"Fly up there."

Kuang Baoshan’s words were astonishing.

"Fly, fly up there?"

Kuang Chenggong thought he must have heard wrong and continued, "Hahaha, Baoshan, don’t joke with me, a mountain thousands of meters high, how can we fly up there?"

Kuang Baoshan smiled faintly, walked over, and said, "Master, I have a way. My subordinate is a kite expert skilled in making flying devices. As long as we find a taller peak near the Assassin Group, we can smoothly reach the top of their mountain."

"Ah? Is it true?"

Kuang Chenggong was a bit surprised and found it hard to believe.

"It’s true!" Kuang Baoshan said decisively.

"Hahaha, that’s truly great, I will entrust this task to you. If we can really descend from the sky into the Assassin Group, we will surely catch them off guard."

Kuang Chenggong was excited just thinking about it, as this kind of battle was something he’d never heard of before, and he was quite thrilled.

"Yes, at your command, it will be done."

After speaking, Kuang Baoshan immediately turned and went to handle the affair.

After Kuang Baoshan left, Kuang Chenggong gave a cold smile, pondering the upcoming assault on the Assassin Group.

Currently, his power had already reached the Great Perfection of Celestial Dao’s Seven Stars, almost touching Extreme Dao. Although he had consumed quite a few Super Qi Gathering Pills, it took half a year of careful adjustment to finally stabilize his strength.

Now, he was full of confidence. Kuang Chenggong considered himself invincible now, at least in the current world. He claimed that no one dared to call themselves first if he called himself second; he was capable of flipping clouds and turning rain by merely flipping his hands.

"Bring the Young Master to me, I want to discuss important matters with him."

Kuang Chenggong spoke to the servant beside him.

"Yes, Master."

The servant obeyed and immediately ran off to summon Kuang Shengtian.

A few minutes later, a young man dressed in white robes appeared in the Kuang Shengtian Celestial Palace.

"Father, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Kuang Shengtian had already guessed it might be about the assault on the Assassin Group, something that was bound to happen sooner or later, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon. Could it be that his father had found a way to attack the Assassin Group?

Otherwise, with the information from the previous two insiders having been dealt with, it seemed impossible to rashly attack the mountain without a better method in place.

"Haha, Shengtian, we’ve found a better way to assault the mountain, and we might launch a large-scale mountain assault on the Assassin Group in the next couple of days. So, what you need to do now is to mobilize the troops, and you can set off early tomorrow to the Assassin Group." Kuang Chenggong thought about the two days’ journey from the Capital City to the Assassin Group, so he needed to make preparations in advance.

"Ah, that’s great, sure, I’ll go organize the army immediately, and we’ll set out for the Assassin Group at dawn tomorrow." Kuang Shengtian received the order.

"Good, this battle must be won, failure is not an option. You go first, and I’ll follow shortly after."

Kuang Chenggong planned to personally attend this battle, fearing that Chen Tianlong might be somewhat difficult to deal with. It had been a long time since they last met, and he didn’t know how Chen Tianlong’s Dragon Slayer Sword had developed.

If it were as formidable as the legendary practitioners of the Dragon Slayer Sword, then Chen Tianlong was indeed a strong opponent for him now.

Therefore, he had no choice but to intervene; if this young man disrupted the entire plan, it wouldn’t be good. It’s crucial to understand that this battle is significant and could impact the morale of the Huaxia army in the late stage.

Previously, the ease of taking the Capital City and swiftly capturing one city after another was due to the lack of unity among the citizens and the incompetence of their leaders. If they were to regain confidence and join forces to resist, governance would become more challenging in the future.

Therefore, winning this battle was essential; otherwise, their dominion would be shaken.

Meanwhile, his Phantom Divine Skill was on the verge of a breakthrough, but he was just unable to break through that final barrier. Kuang Chenggong was very frustrated; if he could break through this time, he could ignore Chen Tianlong when attacking the Assassin Group.

Nothing is perfect; otherwise, the world would already be his, and he would have no rival.

Atop a mountain more than eight hundred meters high.

Kuang Baoshan, along with a dozen people, was conducting experiments atop the mountain, surrounded by various large aircraft made from fabric. These aircraft looked almost identical, all crafted by binding processed wooden rods together and then covering them with fabric.

The workmanship was very delicate, resembling dragonflies, and looked quite impressive.

Kuang Baoshan was amazed by these creations and wondered how his subordinate Xiaoli came up with the idea.

Xiaoli had always been a child full of imaginative ideas, often designing various kites and flying devices. After joining the army, Kuang Baoshan discovered him, recognized his talent, and began nurturing and employing him.

No one expected that he would finally be put to use at this moment.

Only Xiaoli walked out in front, also willing to participate in the experiment, taking off from the mountaintop, heading for another peak that was a hundred meters lower than here. After Xiaoli’s calculations and multiple experimental verifications, it was feasible.

If there’s a height difference of a hundred meters or more, flight can be achieved. At this moment, ten people each donned their aircraft, and from a distance, they looked like a flock of large birds about to take off.

"Everyone, are you ready?" Kuang Baoshan shouted.

"Ready!"

The ten soldiers equipped with aircraft responded in unison.

"Alright, take your positions, prepare, run!"

With Kuang Baoshan’s command, those in front with aircraft started running, followed closely by two people behind each aircraft, helping lift it and advancing quickly at the same speed.

Faster and faster, they almost reached peak speed, nearing the cliff’s edge. Suddenly, the front flyers pushed off the ground hard, and in a flash, all ten took to the air.

Due to their training, they quickly maintained balance with their aircraft, flying steadily by applying the techniques Xiaoli had taught them earlier.

Though there was a constant sensation of descending during flight, the rate was slow, dropping less than fifty meters over two kilometers.

The pilots were joyful, as the destination was in sight, with current altitude sufficient to reach the mountaintop, or at least land just below if unable to reach the summit.

If that’s the case, then by finding a peak fifty or a hundred meters higher than here, they could land precisely atop it.

While ascent height is uncontrollable, descent height can be managed. By crouching downward quickly, one can descend rapidly.

Thus, concerns over excessive altitude are unwarranted.

Kuang Baoshan watched the flyers smoothly reach their destination from afar, his heart filled with joy at the successful mission completion. Next, Xiaoli would train the attacking personnel designated by the master, requiring about a day.

Then, Kuang Baoshan swiftly returned to Kuang Shengtian Celestial Palace to report to Kuang Chenggong. Kuang Chenggong couldn’t have expected Kuang Baoshan to handle matters so aptly, feeling elated as he promptly came out to greet him.

"Baoshan, is everything sorted?"

Kuang Chenggong found it hard to believe how things could be accomplished so smoothly.

"Reporting to the master, the flight test is complete. Ascending to the Assassin Group is entirely feasible. We previously scouted and found a nearby Lan Mountain, which is roughly five hundred meters higher than the Assassin Group. By this calculation, reaching the Assassin Group is more than adequate," Kuang Baoshan explained the situation to Kuang Chenggong.

"Oh? It’s confirmed to arrive smoothly?"

Kuang Chenggong still felt incredulous, likening it to a mythical celestial descent, envisioning a magnificent scene.

"Yes, master. Based on the data from my scouts, the Assassin Group is only ten kilometers from Lan Mountain, and using the previous ratio, they descend fifty meters every two kilometers, meaning a maximum descent of three hundred meters over ten kilometers. With the height difference over five hundred meters, it’s completely adequate. Please rest assured," Kuang Baoshan quickly clarified for Kuang Chenggong.

"Haha, great! You’ve done excellent work, Xue Aiqing. After this battle concludes, I’ll definitely grant you a rank and title, truly elevating your talent," Kuang Chenggong said with satisfaction.

"Ah? I’m truly grateful, master. I will dedicate myself fully until death," Kuang Baoshan eagerly responded.

"Hahaha... Good."

After speaking, Kuang Chenggong left the hall, likely eager to gather the flying personnel.

Soon, Kuang Chenggong brought forth a troop, all familiar faces to Kuang Baoshan, including a dozen elite members of the Kuang Family Assassination Team, along with outstanding individuals from Testing Teams Two and Three.

Upon witnessing the formation, Kuang Baoshan was dumbfounded by Kuang Chenggong’s attention, feeling immensely pleased.

Kuang Baoshan thought to himself: It’s rare for the master to focus intently on this mountain assault. If they perform well, they could rise to prominence, possibly being only second to Kuang Shengtian.

No matter how strong, surpassing the master’s own son is impossible.

At this moment, Kuang Chenggong eagerly approached, exclaiming passionately, "Baoshan, these are the cream of the crop, all are Celestial Dao Seven Star masters. I want them to all fly atop the Assassin Group mountain, eliminate those rebels, and demonstrate the might of our Great Sabina Country."

"Yes, I will obey and ensure the mission is completed."

Seeing Kuang Chenggong’s excitement, Kuang Baoshan shared in his enthusiasm, recognizing the incredible opportunity to lead such experts in a crucial attack against the enemy.
