Chapter 585: Follow-up
The rescue mission was completed smoothly, and Wei Zhouquan's heart had already fallen. He had no scruples, so he was naturally not happy to be constrained by these guards hiding in the castle again.
After thinking about it, Wei Zhouquan decided to cut through the chaos quickly and completely cut off the pursuit of these Roman Imperial guards, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to use grenades to set up several improvised bomb traps and hide on the ground at the exit of the castle on the left where most of the Roman Imperial guards gathered. As long as these guards really want to rush out of the castle to pursue the special operations team, then they can personally enjoy the "bomb feast" that the special operations team tailors for them.
You must know that the members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team are not good at kung fu, on the contrary, they have all been trained by the officers of the special forces of the United States of America.
Since the Xinghua Empire captured some American special forces captives in the Blue Mercury Rich Khanate, it found that some of them were still high-ranking officers, and recruited their commanders. Let these officers take prisoners to pay off, and use the training model of the special forces of the United States of America to train the special forces of the Xinghua Empire, and Wei Zhouquan's Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team is actually an elite soldier trained in this training mode.
Therefore, at this time, it is just necessary to arrange a few simple bomb traps for interception, which is naturally not a problem for the members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team.
After the trap was arranged, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Wei Zhouquan immediately took all the team members and quickly evacuated without hesitation.
Wei Zhouquan is indeed very clever. Less than three minutes after the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team left Mount Braun Prison, Wei Zhouquan heard the sound of a grenade explosion coming from the prison.
Hearing this, Wei Zhouquan knew that this explosion should be able to resist their retreat for a while.
Soon, however, another surprising thing happened.
Just as Wei Zhouquan and the others were rushing all the way to the front to catch up with the retreating team, Wei Zhouquan suddenly heard a fierce gunfire coming from the front! His face changed, because, judging from the direction, it was from the place where the team escorting the remnants of the old country was, and this gunfire was obviously fired by the members of the escort team.
Wei Zhouquan frowned suddenly, is this because the escort team is in some trouble? In a hurry, Wei Zhouquan immediately asked about the situation: "Hey, what's going on ahead?"
◇dǐng◇diǎn◇小◇語,.2⊙3.≈os_();" We were attacked by Roman soldiers!"
Not good news!
"How's it going?"
"The Roman soldiers, numbering in the hundreds, suddenly attacked us. Although it is not difficult for us to resist them at present, but there are old people in us, and it is not so easy to break through, so now we can only slow down and stalemate with the enemy. ”
"Got it, you do your best to hold on, we'll be there right away. ”
Through the walkie-talkie, Wei Zhouquan quickly understood the situation, and immediately ordered the team to speed up and rush to the front to support.
Soon, Wei Zhouquan understood why he heard the gunfire of the escort team so clearly, it was because, being so blocked by the Roman soldiers, the retreating team had no way to go far. Therefore, Wei Zhouquan and they marched quickly, and it was only less than five minutes' foot, and Wei Zhouquan rushed to their vicinity.
Wei Zhouquan, who rushed to the scene, quickly sorted out the troubles encountered by the escort team, and without saying a word, he immediately ordered the troops to attack those Roman soldiers with their hands and feet, and be sure to defeat all these soldiers quickly.
In fact, these Roman soldiers who blocked the escort were the soldiers of the mining area of Mount Braun, and their main task was to control the slaves in the mining area, monitor them so that no slaves could escape, and in addition, to ensure that the mining tasks in the mining area were carried out smoothly. Therefore, these Roman soldiers are not the elite of the Roman Empire, but ordinary soldiers, they can deal with slaves, but they are not enough to deal with Wei Zhouquan.
However, Wei Zhouquan still ordered the members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team to attack with all their strength and fight quickly, although it was not because he was worried that he would not be able to defeat him, but he did not want to spend too much time here and cause other Roman troops who might have heard the news to get involved, which would do more harm than good to their rescue operation.
After receiving Wei Zhouquan's military order, all the members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, whether they arrived with Wei Zhouquan or those who escorted the team, all fought hard to attack. Under such a fierce attack, the Roman soldiers who intercepted the escort were finally forced to retreat in defeat after defeat, and finally they were extremely supportive, and they could only flee backwards.
"Are you all right?" Wei Zhouquan quickly found Helem and asked with concern. After all, Wei Zhouquan is a member of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, and they have received special training, so naturally it will not have much impact, but Shilem is not, Wei Zhouquan will be worried that the infestation of Roman soldiers will hurt these ordinary people like Shilem, and Xilem They are still professionals in the old country, Wei Zhouquan needs to ensure their thoroughness.
At this time, Heelum was carrying an old man on his back, he was Heelem's grandfather - Morat, a fifth-level alchemist.
"We're fine, but I'm afraid that the Roman legionnaires in Mont Braun prison will catch up. Let's go. Feeling that he could still handle it, Helem was even more worried that if they continued to stay, maybe there would be Roman soldiers chasing after them, so he asked Wei Zhouquan to continue evacuating.
But he didn't think about it, only to see Wei Zhouquan smile very confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid they won't dare to chase." I'll take you to our supply depot to rest. ”
Sure enough, as Wei Zhouquan said, I really didn't see it again, and the people of the Roman Empire still had such idle time to continue to pursue.
In fact, the Monte Braun region was not heavily fortified by the Roman Empire. For the Roman Empire, it was a mountainous area. If it weren't for the mines, I'm afraid the Roman Empire wouldn't have resettled five slave towns.
Wei Zhouquan judged that the fifth-level warrior in this Pollang Mountain Professional Prison, that is, the prison warden who did not "meet", should be the strongest person in the Pollang Hill area. It's just that the warden happened to go to the big city to report on his work, which made the strength of the Roman army in the area of Mount Borang empty, so he couldn't see the big scene that the Mountain Eagle Special War Team had carefully planned for them today.
Wei Zhouquan's guess is very close to the truth. It's just that his guess is a little incomplete.
The Roman Empire also had a telegraph-like telegraph, the Eagle, which was a kind of eagle specially trained by animal trainers to transmit information. And Mount Braun, although it is only a special place to set up a prison, it happens to be here with the letter eagle.
Therefore, the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team attacked the Pollang Hill Professionals Prison, and this important news was passed on not long after Wei Zhouquan and the others left the Pollang Hill Prison. The letter eagle, which was responsible for delivering the message, flew into the sky with the letter tied to its feet, and it only took half a day to fly to the southern city of the Roman Empire - the city of Dila.
The appearance of the letter eagle alarmed the lord of Dila City, the Grand Duke of Dila. After reading the letter brought by the letter eagle, the Grand Duke of Dila was taken aback, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to forward the contents of the letter to the imperial capital.
Archduke Deira was an important minister of the Roman Empire, and he controlled the 30,000 elite Roman legions in the city of Dila, and there were many knightly warriors of the fourth and fifth ranks, who were responsible for guarding the southern part of the Roman Empire. And the Monte Braun region is the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of Deira.
Although procedurally, he should wait for Julius Caesar's response to the order, but he did not want to let the culprit of the attack on Monte Borang Prison escape if he suffered heavy losses, not to mention that Julius Caesar would blame him for negligence in his duties, it would be absolutely a great shame for Archduke Dila, who had 30,000 elite soldiers, which he could never tolerate.
Therefore, he did not have time to wait for Julius Caesar to reply, and he could not help but send his own general, leading the cavalry of five thousand Roman elite legions, to the area of Mount Braun.
Soon after, Julius Caesar would also get the news, and the robbery of Mount Braun would shock the entire Roman Empire. Because, in the Roman Empire, since Julius Caesar ascended the throne, no country or group has ever dared to do such an offensive thing to the Roman Empire, which will naturally make Julius Caesar extremely angry!
On the other hand, Wei Zhouquan led the team through the town of Futong and, at the request of Hillem, helped his family evacuate. He feared that the Romans would be angry with his family. In fact, the young people who helped Wei Zhouquan and them carry the old man all had this worry. After thinking about it, Wei Zhouquan agreed, and he ordered the team to attack the Romans in Futong Town.
Because the town of Futong is very close to the Prison of the Professionals of Mount Braun, the Roman officials in the town have just sent troops to support. Therefore, they learned the power of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team. Seeing that Wei Zhouquan was preparing to attack Futong Town, the Romans did not dare to resist and withdrew in advance.
After a while, Wei Zhouquan took a group of residents of Futong Town and the "prisoners" of Bolang Mountain Prison to return to the temporary supply depot set up by the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team.
In this rescue operation, excluding Hillem's family, Wei Zhouquan and them successfully rescued a total of 78 old country professionals in Monte Brang Prison, almost all of whom were elderly, and the youngest of them was already sixty-three years old.
After being rescued, these professionals from the old country not only expressed their heartfelt thanks to Wei Zhouquan and others, but also sincerely made a request to Wei Zhouquan - they all asked Wei Zhouquan to take their families away.
In fact, since becoming slaves of the Roman Empire, they have not thought about escaping, but they have always dared not act rashly because they have great concerns and are worried that their escape will bring trouble to their families.
But this time was different, they knew that the special combat team that came to rescue them was obviously capable enough to protect them, so this time was also the escape they had the greatest expectation, as long as they could bring all their families with them, then they would be able to leave the country that had enslaved them for a long time with peace of mind.
Their request, Wei Zhouquan understood very well, it was really normal, and for the sake of these professionals, they could stay in the Xinghua Empire with peace of mind in the future and be loyal to the Xinghua Empire, Wei Zhouquan agreed to their request.
Therefore, Wei Zhouquan sent two more teams, each with more than 30 people, according to the list provided by these professionals, led by Hillem and other young people, in the Bolang Mountain area, to various towns and mines, looking for people everywhere. Of course, Wei Zhouquan also told them that he would not force their families, if their families were willing to follow, they would take them away, and if they were unwilling to go, they would have to give up.
The remnants of the old country, who have been imprisoned for a long time, naturally have no opinion when they get such an opportunity.
Then, Wei Zhouquan showed the video of the old citizens of the empire to Morat and other old people to watch and see if they recognized him.
"Is this little Sheehan?" Moratt recognized Prime Minister Sheehan at a glance. Recognizing the old man, Morat's eyes flashed with an unusual light.
"Yes, this is Sheehan, the Prime Minister of our Empire. Wei Zhouquan replied with a smile.
"He is the priest of the royal palace and is responsible for guarding the spatial shelter. Morat paused and continued, "Has His Majesty returned?"
Wei Zhouquan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Morat with strange eyes, he knew that Morat was asking about His Majesty, the king of the old country, not the king of the Xinghua Empire today.
Wei Zhouquan said: "His Majesty, his soul has brought us back the successor and helped us all to rebuild the country. Today, under the wise leadership of His Majesty, our Xinghua Empire is vast and has a population of more than one million. ”
Hearing Wei Zhouquan's words, Morat's face twitched obviously, as if he was suppressing the excitement in his heart. After a long time, he looked at Wei Zhouquan and asked, "Then why didn't His Majesty come back?"
"His Majesty has just ascended the throne as emperor, the foundation is not stable, and the national strength needs to be further developed, so it is the time when we people need to be loyal. Now, we are pursuing a policy of national unification, having just conquered the northern part of the Hundred Barbarian Lands, and are also at war with the Xia Kingdom in the east...... How strong do you think the Roman Empire was?" Wei Zhouquan asked rhetorically.
When Morat heard this, he said in discouragement: "Alas, the Roman Empire is very strong, and before Caesar's death, I am afraid that no one can challenge it." On the land of the Western Regions, the countries that were able to resist the Roman Empire and still not destroy the country were all powerful countries. Actually, we can unite these countries. ”
"Whether or not to unite with them is a later story. Now the Xinghua Empire needs professional talents and population, so our Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team came to rescue the remnants of the old country, on the one hand, to save everyone from the sea of suffering, and on the other hand, we also hope that everyone can do their best to contribute to the construction of a new country. Wei Zhouquan replied, and after thinking about it, he still asked his own question, "How did you know about the space shelter?" )
