Li Shimin, ignoring Cheng Yaojin and Li Xiaogong, jumped directly from the second floor, just like Chai Shao before him.
Jumping off buildings at the slightest disagreement, this was the ingrained nature of those with military backgrounds.
Truly impressive!
In the sky, the nine black dragons were already descending, dragging the flying fort.
Li Shimin asked Chai Shao, "How is it? Still stable?"
Chai Shao praised, "Your Majesty, rest assured, you could place a basin of water inside, and not a drop would spill!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, then entered the flying fort. He fiddled with the various decorations and equipment inside before coming out again.
"Issue the order, prepare for departure!"
Some of the anti-magnetic backpacks he had ordered to be rushed were ready. He had been waiting here day after day and was getting impatient.
"Yes!"
Chai Shao jumped off the dragon's back and gave a look to his personal guards.
Wang Xuance, who was rushing over, heard his walkie-talkie crackle as soon as he entered the research institute's gates.
"His Majesty has ordered, prepare for departure!"
He quickly put away the walkie-talkie and hurried towards the plaza.
Upon arriving and finding Li Shimin, he cupped his fists.
"Your Majesty, those medicinal herbs have been prepared. However, there are too many to transport conveniently. Please advise!"
Li Shimin stroked his chin and waved his hand, "First, gather your men. We'll discuss the herbs later."
"Yes!"
Wang Xuance immediately summoned the Torch Squad to assemble, and then called out the pre-selected Skyfire Army.
A total of two thousand one hundred men.
Two thousand from the Skyfire Army, and one hundred from the Torch Squad.
Once the personnel were assembled, Li Shimin stood at the entrance of the Temporal Administration Bureau, looking at the piles of medicinal herbs, and fell into thought.
Damn it!
Why were there so many medicinal herbs!
He looked speechlessly at the flying fort being dragged by the black dragons...
That was his chariot...
"Someone! Stuff all these medicinal herbs into that flying fort!"
No amount of heartache could change anything; other means of transport simply couldn't carry so many herbs!
On the other side of the passage, enemy forces were blockading, making it impossible for transport helicopters to pass, the risk was too great!
But they couldn't just tie this thing onto a fighter jet, right?
That would be utterly absurd.
Of course, the flying fort alone couldn't hold all the herbs. After filling it, the remaining herbs would have to be packed into sacks and hung beneath the gold dredging ships.
The convoy was ready, consisting of 300 fighter jets, 1,800 gold dredging ships, and one flying fort.
Moreover, these gold dredging ships had been modified. The people at the research institute had added two Gatling guns to their hulls, one on each side.
Simultaneously, some were equipped with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.
Li Shimin sat on the roof of the flying fort, clad in Dragon Scale Armor and carrying the Dragon Scale Sword on his shoulder. He waved his hand grandly.
"Depart!"
"Yes!"
Wang Xuance, Ge Luoyang, and others led the way, with Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao following closely behind.
Main World, Antarctica.
The location of the passage had been silent for many days.
The troops stationed there, apart from eating and sleeping, were idle.
Only in the temporary prefab building serving as a conference room were representatives from various countries still arguing over the distribution of benefits.
"Whether you admit it or not, we..."
"Therefore, our side demands exclusive control of seventy percent of the resources, which is entirely reasonable..."
He didn't finish his sentence. The earphone in his ear suddenly crackled, and he instinctively fell silent.
"Static... static... Aircraft emerging from the wormhole! Repeat, aircraft from the wormhole... My God, black dragons! Oh my god! Dragons! Black dragons... static..."
At the same time, most people present received this message.
The representative from country Z felt a jolt. Black dragons!
Dragons!
These were creatures with special significance to the Chinese nation!
No!
This was more than just an unknown creature!
It was the spiritual totem of the Chinese nation!
"Excuse me!"
The representative from country Z immediately stood up and rushed out. At the doorway, he looked up towards the wormhole.
He saw nine black dragons "swimming" in the sky, and between them, there was a structure as large as a house...
My God!
"Is this... 'Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin'?"
"Could it be that the other side of the wormhole isn't the Great Tang, but the world of 'Shading the Heavens'?"
The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind him. The representatives from other countries also rushed out.
Looking at the scene in the distant sky, everyone's eyes widened, their mouths agape, unsure how to describe their current feelings.
Wilson was among the crowd. Upon seeing the black dragons, he quietly distanced himself from the group and ordered his subordinates.
"Fuck! This is a provocation!"
"Open fire!"
"Take them down and send them back for dissection!"
After issuing the order, he looked at the nine black dragons again, a slight smile playing on his lips.
These powerful creatures, their genes should be more superior than those of Earth's creatures!
If they could capture them, research on gene warriors should achieve greater breakthroughs!
