The most chaotic of the three battlefields back then, if it weren't for this confidant, they might not have been able to hold on until Xiong Da and the others arrived.
"Boss, what's the purpose of this master's return? Could he also be after that place?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Swordsman glared at the other party, who wisely shut his mouth.
"Only a few people in our camp know about this, and it hasn't spread out yet. Heavy Cannon probably isn't here for this."
The confidant was puzzled, "But that kid isn't anything special, is he? Does he really need the old man to make an exception to let him in?"
Both of them were old timers in the camp. This confidant was also one of the first to follow Swordsman. Regarding Old Tie's matter, he was considered a firsthand witness.
That's why he was confused.
Everyone knew what kind of person Heavy Cannon was back then. To him, only those useful to himself were friends. If you weren't strong enough, you basically didn't even have the right to talk to him!
Swordsman also murmured, "Yeah, he doesn't look alike at all, and he shouldn't be his descendant. Who exactly is this guy?"
As he spoke, regret appeared on his face.
"If I had known it was related to Heavy Cannon, I should have found the person first and then sent the news back."
Swordsman sighed. At first, he just thought Li Chonglou was a connected person from the Wu family, so he cooperated and let him go to the Black Kid's camp.
Although the Wu family's influence was second in the underground world, to Swordsman, it was still not enough to consider. After all, his status in the General Bureau was considered absolutely high-level.
To put it bluntly, this favor could be given, but it was just that.
Therefore, when he saw the arrival of the death storm, he reported the situation without too much worry. According to the normal procedure, he should have at least confirmed whether Li Chonglou was dead or had inhaled Black Spirit.
Then, he would report the result.
The confidant looked at Swordsman's annoyed expression and couldn't help but comfort him, "Boss, it's not your fault. Who could have known that such an ordinary guy would get involved with Heavy Cannon."
Yes, from beginning to end, neither of them took Li Chonglou's strength seriously. Their feelings were very similar to how Old Wang felt about Old Tie.
Coupled with the fact that Li Chonglou's aura and strength were often not equivalent, in their eyes, Li Chonglou was just an ordinary cultivator.
At this age, five levels were not bad, but they were not comparable to the truly talented people within the General Bureau!
Just then, a subordinate walked in from outside.
"Boss, the camp leader wants to see you."
Swordsman nodded and let the subordinate go out. His confidant then said, "Boss, it should be about that matter, right?"
"It seems so. I'll try to secure more spots for you this time. This is a historic event!"
"Mmm! Boss, don't worry, we'll definitely make a name for ourselves then! The next camp leader, definitely..."
Before he could finish, Swordsman interrupted him, "I don't care about being the camp leader or not. As long as you don't have to live under someone else's roof anymore. Alright, wait for my news here."
Then Swordsman left his residence. When he arrived at the camp leader's living room, something unexpected happened. Even the leader at the gate had already taken a seat.
This was not right. If it were for that matter, so many people wouldn't have been allowed to know. The meat was already limited, and if more people came to share, there wouldn't even be much broth left!
Almost instantly, Swordsman understood that this summons was not what he had imagined.
There were about ten camp leaders in the hall at this time, all of them the elites in their respective positions. Swordsman glanced around and found that including himself, all the high-level combat forces of Camp No. 3 were present.
At this time, the camp leader also spoke, "Swordsman is here too, so let's get straight to the point."
As his words rang out, a man quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll explain the situation first."
Swordsman looked over with some doubt. This man was the commander of their camp's reconnaissance company.
Did something happen?
Swordsman's heart immediately tensed up. No matter when it was, as long as it was the reconnaissance company's turn to report the situation, it was almost always bad news!
As expected, the man's next sentence made his nerves instantly taut.
"My subordinates have confirmed it. It is indeed the Black Dragon. Its current location is less than five kilometers from our camp. We cannot rule out an attack on us."
Swordsman held his breath. It took a while for him to react, just like everyone else. He asked in shock, "Is it the Black Dragon from the high command of the Black Kid?"
The reporting man sighed, "Besides him, what other Black Dragon from the Black Kid's side would have all of us come to a meeting? If this is not handled well, today might be our last moment."
At this time, the camp leader finally spoke, "Don't be too alarmed, everyone. Although I'm not enough, I can hold it off. At worst, you can escape first. He's only coming alone, so not too many people will die."
The man said with some difficulty, "Camp leader, according to my subordinates, the Black Dragon is not coming alone this time. He has someone with him, but the person looks unfamiliar, and my subordinates couldn't recognize who it was."
The camp leader's expression immediately froze. This time, even he didn't know what to say.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
Suddenly, Swordsman remembered what he had discussed with his confidant not long ago, and he quickly said, "Camp leader, Heavy Cannon is back! With him here, it should be okay!"
Heavy Cannon?
The name made most people in the hall look confused. They had joined later and were not involved in the events of that year.
As for the few who had, including the camp leader and the head of the reconnaissance company who stood up to report, their expressions were frozen.
"Are you telling the truth?"
After they reacted, their excitement was almost palpable.
Swordsman said seriously, "The news first came from the Wu family, and then the headquarters also issued a notice. This matter should not be false, and Heavy Cannon should be arriving soon."
The man became excited, "Does this mean we might really be saved? Damn it, I knew it! I went to a fortune teller the year before last, and they said I could live to be over eighty! How could I die here!"
A man beside him whispered in his ear, "Who is this Heavy Cannon? Why haven't we heard of him? A secret expert in the headquarters?"
The man glanced around and realized that most people didn't know who Heavy Cannon was, so he took the opportunity to explain, "Everyone, please be quiet first. You might not be familiar with the name Heavy Cannon, but you'll know who it is if I say another name."
For a moment, everyone's attention fell on the man.
He then slowly said, "Old Tie, you should be familiar with this name, right?"
