Chapter 41: Borrow a knife
Late at night.
Zhang Tong lent Jowell a beautiful cruise ship, which set off from the pier of the castle and slowly sailed into the lake. Not far from the lake, Liu Shuiyan stood there and waited for a long time. When she saw the cruise ship coming, she took the initiative to board the ship.
She did not change into combat uniforms. She wore a black evening gown on her slender body. She is full of noble temperament. Her boobs are plump and plump. Her white right shoulder was exposed. Her jade neck was white and tender. She has a stunning, cool face. She stood in the night like a fairy in the world, isolated from the world.
"You were really punctual. ”
Zhang Tong drove the cruise ship to the center of the lake. The surroundings are quiet and no boats pass by.
Liu Shuiyan said lightly: "Now you can say it." ”
Zhang Tong secretly exercised mind control. There are indeed fluctuations of thought in the nearby world. You don't have to guess who. Gabriel thought of him. He believed that he had the power of heaven and earth and had learned a hidden spell or two. It is impossible for him to be discovered by Zhang Tong.
"The problem is ......"
Zhang Tong slowly drove the boat around the lake while telling Liu Shuiyan about the situation of the tribute boat. Of course, most places have changed. I concealed the fact that the tribute was in my hands and the identity of the traitor in Zhonghai City, and only told Liu Shuiyan that I had obtained a very top-secret but very accurate information about the indigenous bandits.
At that time, several ethnic tribes were involved in the looting of tribute. The strongest is the snake man. The tribal location of the snake people has been investigated. It is likely that the tribute was hidden in the tribe. The information that Zhang Tong revealed to Liu Shuiyan was the exact coordinates and location of the snake demon tribe.
After listening to this story, Liu Shuiyan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise: "Is this news true?"
Zhang Tong was very sure: "This is true, this is the real intelligence! We can't guess when the indigenous people will distribute the tribute, but we can guess that the tribute will be hidden in the indigenous tribes." We are in a hurry to disperse the tribute. If we can exterminate the indigenous tribes, then we may be able to recover the tribute. “
Liu Shuiyan pondered for a few seconds and said, "What if the tribute is not hidden in the tribe?"
"This kind of possibility is not high, such a precious thing, the snake demon clan will not be easily buried in the wild. Even if we take a step back, we don't find any tribute, but solving the mastermind lair of the robbers is a great job. We can still capture a large number of people. Are we afraid that we won't find the whereabouts of the tribute?"
"What are their strengths?"
"I have the courage to block the tribute ships, and I feel that the strength is not weak. We will ask the duke to send the army of the Yugoslav capital!"
"So, what's the coordinate location?"
Zhang Tong hesitated for a moment and said the coordinates of the She Yao tribe: "This is a rare opportunity for meritorious service. If the tribute is found, then the credit will be great. Mercenaries in the romantic style were specially invited to participate in the operation. There are tons of romantic-style shooters and mages that are perfect for this kind of operation. ”
Liu Shuiyan was silent, as if he was in deep thought.
Zhang Tong felt that Gabriel's heart was shifting.
I can't help but smile and succeed in one move.
Liu Shuiyan found out, immediately stopped thinking, stared at Zhang Tong and said, "What, is the play over?"
"How do you know?"
Liu Shuiyan said lightly: "I may not feel Gabriel's tracking, but I believe you must have a way to feel it." From the banquet just now, everything was clearly shown to him. Do you want to go to him?"
"Are you sure?"
"Gabriel may not know you, but I do. Liu Shuiyan paused and continued: "You have always been cautious in your behavior. Even if you don't point it out, it's impossible for you to reveal an important message of faith on such an occasion. You have the ability to shade the sky, but you didn't use it in your conversation. You can only explain one reason. You want people to eavesdrop. ”
Zhang Tong looked at Liu Shuiyan with special respect. He is not a vase. On the contrary, he possesses all the qualities of a strong woman. He couldn't find any obvious drawbacks other than being overprotective and a little unfriendly. No wonder Gabriel didn't see any good, but was instead taken advantage of by Salix. Several missions were carried out with romantic mercenaries, which allowed Salix to take advantage.
"Gabriel is gone, can you tell me clearly?"
"Yes. ”
Zhang Tong's body was filled with gray magic mist, which slowly covered the surroundings of the cruise ship. The boat disappeared on the lake.
"What do you want to reveal to Gabriel? This man is arrogant but not stupid. He is also suspicious and will definitely investigate in advance. If he finds out that the information is false, he will not choose to act. ”
Zhang Tong replied, "Gabriel will definitely take action, because the information is not entirely fake. In this coordinating position, there are indeed indigenous tribes. This indigenous tribe was indeed the workhorse of the tribute ships. These two points are enough for Gabriel to discover. ”
Liu Shuiyan was taken aback: "Then you still tell him? Do you know that with the correct coordinates of a large indigenous tribe, the information itself is very valuable, not to mention the leader of the tribute ship case." If Gabriel had reported the intelligence first, he would have been rewarded with a lot. If he participates in the fight to exterminate the natives, the reward will be higher!"
"Some bones are too hard for us to chew. If we go too far, we'll just knock out our teeth. ”
"How hard is it?"
"There are at least five or six powerful Celestial Spirits!"
"Five or six!"
Liu Shuiyan was shocked. In Zhonghai City, which has a population of 20 million, Tianling, with a population of less than 20 people, accounts for one in a million. This indigenous tribe has a strong spirit for five or six days, when will there be such a powerful indigenous force near Zhonghai City?
In fact, Liu Shuiyan didn't know that the origin of the snake demon tribe was not simple. The tribe is involved in a large indigenous organization in the West Sea, and can even implicate the mysterious Naga tribe of the West Sea.
Although the troops of the City Defense Bureau are all good soldiers, they are not enough. After all, they are primarily defensive and lack offensive weapons. The hard core is difficult to chew, even if you barely chew it, it will be weakened, the city defense bureau is in the hands of the city lord, it is the only armed force, and the armed force is an important way to win meritorious service, in case of huge losses, the competition between the city lord and the deputy city lord will be at a great disadvantage.
Contrary.
The vice-duke's army masters were different.
The War Department was in charge of the city's regular army, which was dedicated to large-scale warfare. Most of the War Department's weapons were imported from the Machine Empire. They are very advanced and powerful. They are best suited to fight extinction. Zhang Tong deliberately ran out of the hard bones for the army and Gabriel to chew, as for chewing or not, that was their business.
In any case, the snake demon tribe was attacked by the army of Zhonghai City. Inevitably, its life force will be weakened and even damaged to the detriment of several divine souls.
Zhang Tong told the duke that the elite city guards were lying in ambush in the place where the tribute was divided among the natives. In the event of severe damage to the aboriginal forces, there must have been far fewer troops attending the party. Jowell, the city guards, and the Yellow Mercenary soldiers strike in a woop, hoping to wipe out the natives on the spot and the dark corners at the same time. Not only will they be able to capture all the natives who intercept the tribute, but they will also be able to exterminate a large mole in Zhonghai City!
The tribute has already arrived!
Zhang Tong did not fully tell Liu Shuiyan the content. Zhang Tong didn't trust her. The fewer people who know before the plan is implemented, the better, so as not to leak important information. Especially with regard to the tribute, which is hidden in Jovel's Castle and must not be leaked.
......
In the high hall, Riario opened his eyes, and his eyes sparkled: "Is this news true?"
Gabriel stood at the bottom of the hall, next to a man wearing a black bureau cloak, none other than Jowell's top boss, Zhang Tong, the director of investigation.
The person in charge of the investigation arched his hand and said, "Vice Duke, I personally investigated, but there was a big obstacle in that direction. It's very secret. Without knowing the exact coordinates, we wouldn't have found an indigenous tribe hiding here. ”
Aurelio immediately asked, "Do you see anything in the magic?"
The person in charge of the investigation replied, "No, this magic is different from that of ordinary indigenous tribes. Survey ships cannot penetrate directly, but a large magical enchantment is very expensive to build. The enchanted indigenous tribe must be a rare large tribe thousands of miles away. These tribes had the right to intercept tributary ships. I investigated nearby and found a large number of traces of snake demon activity, further confirming the suspicion that the tribute was most likely hidden inside. ”
"Good!" Aurelio stood up and said, "God bless me!"
Gabriel said, "Send troops, please!"
Aurelio suddenly asked, "What is Joseph doing?"
The person in charge of the investigation replied: "There is no action at the moment, but someone has just brought back information." All the forces of urban defense tend to fold up. He may be building an army. ”
Gabriel said eagerly: "The city defense forces have moved. We have to speed up. ”
"The duty of the city defense army is to defend, and the movement is not as fast as the regular army, and the Mubei is not to attract our attention, so the action must not be too fast. Within three days, the city defense troops will not be able to withdraw at all, and we should not surprise the snake and secretly transfer the troops. Aurelio understood the opponent's capabilities too well and immediately said to the head of the investigation: "During the investigation, you first pretended to find information from another direction of the indigenous tribe and asked the War Department for military support. We use this as an excuse to send troops. ”
"Yes!" the Director of Investigation asked, "so what should we ask?"
Aurelio pondered for a moment: "You can declare an army of 150,000 men. Of course, this figure is a cover-up. I will instruct the War Department to secretly double its forces. ”
Zhonghai City has 800,000 regular troops.
Less than half of a one-time deployment.
Aurerio felt that 300,000 troops were enough.
In the past few years, many indigenous tribes have been swept away. The number of troops deployed barely exceeds 100,000. Even if the Basilisk tribe is strong, a force of 300,000 people should be enough.
"Gabriel, you too!"
"Vice-Duke Xie!"
Aurelio nodded: "As long as you work hard for me, you will be rewarded a lot when things are done." ”
Gabriel's eyes were gloomy and he said, "I have a request!"
"If you don't say it, I know what it is. Aurelio said slowly, "Do you want Zhang Tong and a few of his capable people to disappear from this world forever?"
"That's right!"
"Of course. Aurerio said coldly, "If this thing is done, I will be able to overwhelm Joseph." Even if Joseph did it openly, he could not do anything to us. This kind of thing is not difficult at all. ”
