Chapter 1301
By refusing to send troops to accompany them and by refusing to travel with the baggage train, anyone with a modicum of caution would have become suspicious.
So after the scout finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately laughed and then said:
“Your commanders are indeed meticulous and cautious, which I admire. Such caution is especially needed during wartime.”
"Since he wants to know how I got out of the pass, you can stay here and watch. Report back truthfully when you get back!"
After saying that, Wei Wu didn't linger. He turned around and took Zhang Hai into the cabin. Soon after, the propeller started spinning.
The scout, who was already full of curiosity about helicopters, was so shocked by this scene that he froze on the spot.
Then, witnessing the helicopter slowly lift off the ground and take off, the scout's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
The scout was still in shock until the helicopter became a tiny dot in the sky and flew away rapidly.
By the time he realized what was happening, the small black dot was no longer visible in the sky.
"This...this...this steel monster...it can actually fly, and fly so fast! This is a celestial artifact!"
Standing there dumbfounded, the scout stammered out the words before finally realizing he needed to go back and report.
He immediately turned around, filled with unprecedented excitement, and rushed back to the military camp as fast as he could, arriving at Zhang Dequan's tent.
"My lord! My lord! I have investigated the situation and have returned to report to you!"
"Come in and we'll talk!"
Hearing the scout's excited voice, Zhang Dequan was a little puzzled, but he still remembered to invite him in.
Immediately afterwards, the scout strode into the military tent and recounted everything he had seen and heard, leaving Zhang Dequan completely bewildered.
After finally regaining his senses, Zhang Dequan immediately asked:
"You're saying that the Duke of Zhenguo crawled into a steel monster and then flew straight into the sky and disappeared?"
Sensing that Zhang Dequan's tone was a bit off, the scout quickly offered an explanation.
"Yes, sir. I would not dare to deceive you, and I am not mistaken. That steel monster really did fly away from the sky."
"I swear on my life that this is absolutely true!!"
Seeing that the scout was somewhat agitated, Zhang Dequan waved his hand and said reassuringly:
"I know you're not lying, don't panic. I just have a general idea of what's going on. Go and rest!"
Zhang Dequan wasn't just saying this to appease the scout; in fact, he did have a rough guess in his mind.
Before the war began, Zhu Di had told him about some things the Duke of Zhenguo did in the capital, including the Academy of Sciences.
He knew that there were many incredible things in the Academy of Sciences, and that the Duke of Zhenguo was the vice president of the Academy.
It's obvious that the flying steel monster was created by the Academy of Science and Technology, and only the Academy of Science and Technology could create it.
This explains why the Duke of Zhenguo did not need him to open or close the doors, and why he refused to act with others.
Even the most elite cavalry could not keep up with that steel monster; they would only slow down the Duke of Zhenguo's journey.
After figuring out the reason, Zhang Dequan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Wei Wu's helicopter had already landed where Zhu Di's army was stationed.
It must be said that helicopters were still far too shocking and unconventional in the Ming Dynasty.
When the helicopter first arrived and was descending, it was spotted by the soldiers below.
As a result, the entire military camp instantly became agitated, and Wei Wu could even see the surging of people in the camp from the air.
However, it wasn't chaotic; rather, they were preparing in a very orderly manner, which shows that Zhu Di was very skilled at managing his army.
The soldiers holding rifles formed ranks in an instant, and all pointed their guns at the sky.
