Chapter 2249 - 1264_2

In the future, they may not return, and these people will remain here.

Together with the military’s other teams, they will stay here.

Those who received orders quietly returned home, and those without a home quietly packed their belongings, taking everything essential including bedding, in addition to clothing.

They thought it was summer now, but they would return by winter.

No one knew if they would come back here again, but the old General hinted that they must take all their important possessions.

They would prepare food, and with their families in tow, they would have many things, unable to discard what they usually used.

Who knows how much it would cost to procure these things again upon returning to a certain place?

They didn’t understand the General’s intentions with this command, but upon receiving the orders, they speculated that perhaps they had won the battle and could return to the Capital.

As for why only they received this order while others did not?

Perhaps because they were just the General’s team, not the entire military camp.

After all, there were other teams and people in the entire camp.

Or maybe it was some unrelated people, who, being neutral and without allegiance, were not temporarily part of their team.

They received secret orders that certainly couldn’t be shared, possibly indicating a bigger mission upon returning to the Capital.

Considering the lack of logistical support, this time they might go to reclaim justice.

Jiang Tang gifted the old General a space aircraft capable of housing many people and substantial supplies, which was perfect for their use now.

At night, they gathered secretly in a certain place, although there were many gathering in secrecy.

With so many people moving at night, some noticed, but they were blocked by people sent by the old General.

These individuals arrived at an empty space in the city, all on horseback, in carriages, and with accompanying family members, guards, servants, and attendants.

They all joined together.

The old General’s personnel checked against the list, verifying each one.

Their families were among those listed and were not allowed to bring outsiders, only family members and long-time servants were permitted, without any strangers.

Even servants and attendants had to be approved.

Newly purchased official slaves and unknown individuals were strictly forbidden to follow.

The old General’s family, guarded at the General’s Mansion, included servants and attendants who were family members of some military personnel.

Veteran soldiers were invited to return, and those staying were arranged to guard the General’s Mansion, leaving them with supplies.

Jobs were arranged for them, and if their future masters treated them poorly, they could leave using the leftover money and supplies for a more comfortable life.

The arrangements were urgent but completed thoroughly.

By midnight, they had gathered, checked, and verified the lists.

They completed checking their supplies.

Then the old General waved them aboard a flying treasure, but once aboard, everyone, including people, horses, and livestock, fell unconscious.

To keep it a secret, the old General had all the family members put to sleep.

The old General was quite helpless as even his son and family couldn’t learn about such an incredible flying treasure.

This unique flying treasure was not an abundance, and he didn’t want to offend the Deity.

Powerful items are always sought after, so the old General didn’t trust anyone completely, not even family, sons, and grandsons.

After inspecting inside the aircraft, the old General realized that even livestock was brought aboard.

Perhaps due to the hurried orders, those people tending chickens and livestock were trying to be self-sufficient, raising chickens and ducks for eggs and supplies.

They might have thought that during their long journey, these chickens and ducks would be consumed.

They never imagined traveling back in a rapid flying treasure.

Not needing long treks.

Prepared for a journey lasting a couple of months back home, facing dangers along the way was expected.

No one could anticipate that a mere nap would bring them back to the Capital.

After briefly inspecting, the aircraft became invisible to bring people on board, disappearing into the night.

To distant observers, they saw the multitude of people vanish and felt it was very magical.

They didn’t know what deeds deserved the Deity’s protection.

Now, with so many vanishing, it felt even more miraculous, leaving their thoughts unanswered.

This disappearance of so many people, including the General, was astonishing and not through open gates but rather vanishing in place, mystifying many.

Guards stationed to block some people kept them at a distance, only able to watch from afar during the night.

These days, in the military camp and city, many didn’t belong to the General’s camp.

Despite revealing some during the war, capturing and eliminating them.

Exiled and capable individuals were also present.

Their skill lay in combat power, observing the disappearances involving the General’s people.

Desiring information, they were unable to leave this city.

Despite possessing strong martial strength, they couldn’t open the city gates.

Even neighboring cities closed their gates overnight, remaining unopened.

No communication occurred between these cities, leaving those nearby unaware of the departures.

The old General’s aircraft flew invisibly and swiftly through the sky.

Instead of a two-month trek, only a night journey brought them above the Capital City.

The old General was surprised by the speed, specifically targeting his own General’s Mansion.

Returning with so many people, they discreetly entered the General’s Mansion without drawing external attention.

Approaching the mansion, he sensed surveillance.

With the vast mansion housing many people, they discreetly settled throughout the Capital City.

Although they could remain within the flying treasure for an extended period.

Amidst the turmoil outside, the General’s Mansion required guarding.

The old General, his sons, and family members who had taken power pills could first return here.

Other soldiers and personnel stayed inside the flying treasure initially.

Only appearing when necessary, thankfully, those inside wouldn’t grow hungry without meals.

The treasure’s atmosphere kept their hunger satiated.

The old General learned this from the Jade Pendant.

The treasure’s instructions greatly benefited his plans.

Close to dawn, the old General released some family members.

Arranging his sons, grandsons, and other people required plans.

But first, he arranged for safety, designing a simple formation around the Mansion, preventing entry or exit.

Protecting family from danger, thwarting stealth intrusions or attacks.

Despite outside chaos, violence had not escalated to indiscriminate murder yet.

Setting the formation, the old General departed in the treasure.

The quiet arrival of family members omitted external awareness as they slipped past surveillance.

This, of course, remained a mystery.
