Volume 1 Chapter 121 Civil War (9)
Around the time of the Chinese New Year, the Demon Hunter Headquarters, including branches across the country, spent their time in battle.
While ordinary people are still celebrating the new year, countless elite warriors have died one after another, all of which are all-round talents created by the state with a lot of money, and they did not die on the battlefield against the evil forces, but at the hands of their own brothers.
The news of the defection of one of the Big Three, the "Sword Master", quickly spread throughout the Huaxia martial arts world and the supernatural world, and with this heavy news, all the middle and high-level demon hunters disappeared, and the only ones who are still presiding over the battle are Chen Lun, the chief of staff, Jiao Yan, Huodexingjun, and Jiang Yuze, the minister of intelligence.
Due to the disappearance of the chief of operations Wu Luan, the legions of the demon hunters were paralyzed, and in order to prevent the suspicion of other legions, the commanders of each legion did not rush to the capital to participate in the rescue, so the headquarters of the capital finally broke the defense on the fourth day and captured the central system under the attack of the enemy's powerful firepower.
The Special Operations Department rescued Yu Yuechuan who was imprisoned in the No. 1 cell, but the Juggernaut refused to lead the rebellion, claiming that No. 1 was deceived and that the presence of enemy forces among the demon hunters caused the civil war to occur, so he pointed the finger at Jiao Yan, who had just returned to China.
After the center was breached, Jiao Yan relied on his strong strength to break out of the siege, and took over the command in the Northern Military Region, he sent 30,000 people to the capital in four ways, and wanted to recapture the center and rescue the high-level.
If these 30,000 people enter the capital, I am afraid that it will not only be a disaster for the demon hunters, but even civilians will suffer from disasters, and at this critical moment, the commanders of the three military regions of the east, west and south jointly stopped Jiao Yan's actions, they claimed that the demon hunters were hidden from the outside of the world to protect, and their identities should not be made public because of civil strife, let alone civilian casualties, and if Jiao Yan insisted on going his own way, the three military regions would work together to use force to curb his behavior.
Since it was a demon hunter's family affair, the martial arts world was just watching and not getting involved.
But the ability world can't sit still, the ability world is not like the martial arts world has three major sects that can be suppressed, there are many organizations that think this is a good time to cling to the thigh of the demon hunter, so they have stood in line to express their position, for a while, the sword soldiers are everywhere, the sword shadow is fierce, and the war is about to break out.
Demon Hunter Headquarters, Hub.
Yu Yuechuan was in a secret room, although there were no windows here, the room illuminated by the soft light was very bright, in front of him was a palm square table, on which there were two cups of tea, Yu Yuechuan took a cup and took a sip gently, and said to the person opposite: "Is the current situation still under your control?"
Opposite him was a white-bearded old man, his tall posture indicated his status as a former soldier in the army, and he also picked up the teacup in front of him, but only sniffed it and put it down.
Seeing that the old man did not speak, Yu Yuechuan said again: "Are you really not in a hurry at all? If we continue to fight in this state of affairs for another month, I am afraid that the demon hunter's family will die, do you know how many people have died according to the information I have obtained? A total of 20,000 people have died in this war. ”
"Less, you're still so breathless. The old man spoke, "Are you sure your information is accurate?"
"What do you mean?"
"20,000 people, this number is just to make 'him' believe, and what was announced is actually about a thousand people, although there are sacrifices, it is only about a thousand, in order to be able to do it once and for all, this sacrifice is worth it. ”
"This is impossible!" Yu Yuechuan stood up in shock, although he believed that the old man would not lie to him, but he still couldn't accept this fact. "There were 19,137 deaths, this is the statistics sent to me by Group Zero the day before yesterday, even if there is an error, but I never believe that Group Zero would make such a serious mistake. ”
"You're just too confident and too proud. The old man stood up and pressed Yu Yuechuan back into the chair, and continued: "I know that you are still entangled in the incident back then, but that has passed, and now this battle is about the life and death of the demon hunter, you should also let go of your obsession and cooperate with Jiao Yan to make this scene sufficient." ”
"I cooperate, I always cooperate. Yu Yuechuan said angrily, that is, this old man, if someone dares to mention this matter, he Yu Yuechuan has to slam the door and leave.
Looking at his angry appearance, the old man laughed happily.
"Less, you said you were a hundred years old, and you were angry like a child. But you and Jiao Yan still have to play the trick well this time, if there is any contradiction, let's talk about it later, this is an order!"
"Yes!" Hearing the order, Yu Yuechuan stood up and replied solemnly: "Guarantee to complete the task!"
Among the demon hunters, there is only one person who can give orders to the Sword Saint, and that is the minister who has "disappeared", Lu Wu.
Demon Hunter, Gangnam Branch.
In one room, a large number of people gathered at this time, and they were arguing about something around a round table.
The round table was large, with 22 people around it, and it was a bald man sitting on the east side who spoke.
"Boss, the time is right, the disciples of the capital sent a message that Yu Yuechuan and Jiao Yan officially clashed the day before yesterday, Jiao Yan was defeated in a big battle, seriously injured and retreated, and most of the people he brought were killed by Yu Yuechuan's people, these two people are of equal strength, since Jiao Yan has been seriously injured, I am afraid that Yu Yuechuan will not be much better. ”
"I think I should be cautious. An old man in the corner stuck his beard and said: "Yu Yuechuan and Jiao Yan don't have to worry, but Lu Wu's old thing is scheming, and now his whereabouts are unknown, it is likely that he is hiding somewhere and spreading his net and waiting for us to drill, sect master, I suggest waiting." ”
"Wait, wait, when, if you want me to say that you bullshit strategists are afraid of war, you more than twenty years ago..."
"Presumptuous!" Before the bald man could finish his words, the man sitting on the north side let out a loud shout and stopped the bald head. "Fang Meng, pay attention to your words. ”
The bald Fang Meng also felt that his words were excessive, he hurriedly apologized to the old man, and at the same time peeked at the person on the main seat, and saw that there was no reaction, so he sat down quietly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's vote by a show of hands, and if you agree with the military advisor, please raise your hand. ”
Twenty-two people, few of whom agreed.
"Please raise your hand if you agree with Fang Meng's plan. ”
Most of them raised their hands in agreement, they also thought it was a good time, and for the military advisor, he had no last resort, but since that incident, few people have been willing to believe him anymore.
"Please ask the sect master to decide. After the man who had just stopped Fang Meng checked the votes, he looked at the people beside him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you afraid?" the man on the throne was hidden behind the light, making it impossible to see his expression, his voice was soft, but it was like thunder in everyone's ears.
"Sect Master, we're not afraid!"
"Nonsense. The sect master smiled: "You are afraid, not only you, I am also afraid, and I am afraid to die, twenty-two... Oh twenty-three years ago, Yu Yuechuan colluded with those so-called famous and decent people to destroy our base in one fell swoop, and the Round Table Council used to have 97 high-level members, but now only all of you are left, and there are a few people who have only been promoted in recent years.
You should be afraid, only when you are afraid can you learn to be cautious, only when you are afraid can you know how to use your brains, not like some fool who knows how to charge into battle in battle! ”
Speaking of this, he also smiled, but Fang Meng's cold sweat flowed down involuntarily, and he said tremblingly: "Sect Master, Fang Meng is guilty, and I ask the Sect Master for forgiveness." ”
"You are guilty, but I will give you a chance to atone for your crimes, and you will be the vanguard commander of this operation, do you dare?"
"I dare!" Hearing that there was a battle to fight, Fang Meng's eyes lit up, he didn't care who the opponent was, he only had two goals, to kill the other party or be killed by the other party.
"We've been watching for half a month, and you've all reported to me that there is nothing abnormal, so it proves that the demon hunter at this moment is the weakest time in hundreds of years, and for more than a hundred years, we have worked hard to infiltrate it, just to wait for this day, now the enemy is weak and we are strong, and their two combat forces are injured at the same time, at this time, what are you waiting for?"
Everyone has understood the sect master's intentions, and Gu has calculated his hole cards and combat power, according to the current situation, this battle is almost a must-win situation.
Only the military advisor was thoughtful, and finally sighed lightly and did not speak.
"I announce that the battle plan has officially begun, and Fang Meng is the vanguard of the front, leading a thousand elite disciples into the capital area and waiting for orders. Zhao Wei and Zhou Chuang, contact the local alliances, and prepare to respond to the ......"
Everyone led the way out, and the sect master, the military advisor, and the man who was stubborn and fierce were left in the hall, as well as a person sitting at the southernmost side of the round table.
"Qin Zhufeng, the clues of the demon hunter have been in your hands for so many years, now it's time to close the line, pass on my order, all the disciples who are lurking in the demon hunter, as well as the personnel who are inclined to us, all of them are on standby, and when the time comes, they will all act collectively, this time I will beat the demon hunter to the point of no return."
Qin Zhufeng led the order to retreat, and the sect master said to the military advisor again: "I know that you have doubts about this opportunity, and to be honest, I also feel that all this came too suddenly. But now the opportunity is in front of me, if I miss it, I don't know how many years I have to wait, and now this situation, even if it is a trap, I have to gamble. ”
"What the sect master said is extremely true, you can rest assured that even if I fight for this life, I will help the sect master complete the great cause of my sect. The military advisor gave a deep salute, he thanked the sect master for his trust, even if everyone was prejudiced against him, the sect master was still willing to explain his reasons to him, and that was enough.
"This battle is inseparable from you, you go to the front line to be the first commander, I will let Zhao'er be your deputy, rest assured to do it, I know those old people have opinions about you, you go and hold my sword, anyone who dares to criticize or disobey the military order can be killed directly." The sect master unsheathed his sword and handed it to the military advisor.
"Sect Master Xie trusts, I will definitely win. The military advisor took the sword, glanced at the sect master gratefully, and turned to leave.
Now that there were only two people left in the hall, the sect master pondered for a moment and said, "Hong Liang, do you know why I left you behind?"
