Chapter 048: Battle of the Castle (01)
The appearance of Carol and Dudkov is indeed a surprise news for them, although it is not sure whether the appearance of these two people is directly related to the ghost, but everyone understands that it is definitely not a good thing for these two guys to come out, the worm thinks that there are two possibilities, one is because the 'clock tower' here feels that the action against the ghost has failed again and again, so it sent two people over, and the other possibility is to chase Chong Punch to them, before Heavy Punch successfully took out the positioning equipment in the wound, only from ' The clock tower's positioning and surveillance escaped, although the time to be here is not too long, but it has also been a few days of peace, but after the ghost side encountered problems, they returned to the state of keeping their guns in hand all day, if the 'clock tower' is looking for their whereabouts, from the perspective of time, it should almost be time to find them, so no matter what the reason, the appearance of Carol and Dudkov is extremely abnormal, these two people are quite difficult to deal with, and they appear at the same time, which is definitely not a good sign.
After receiving this news, the ghost immediately used his network to find clues related to these two people, as long as these two people can be found, they can get a head start to a certain extent, no matter what they are here for, as long as they are under surveillance, they can also take timely countermeasures.
"It's not easy to find these two people, and even if they do, it's quite difficult to spy on them, so we have to be prepared for all kinds of unforeseen situations." The griffon said.
"I've fought with these two people, and it can be said that there is no fuel-efficient lamp, one is more cunning than the other, and we have all suffered losses at the hands of these two people!" Heavy punches are still haunted by that capture, whether he was a trap or not by Makarov? He was caught and used, so it led to the mass casualties of the thorn dolphin and his men, although it was not his own loss, but he also had to bear some responsibility for it, at least deep down, he still couldn't get over this hurdle, and he was still sorry for the thorn dolphin.
"I still know a little about these two people, Carol once rose to prominence as a rookie in the mercenary world after the fall of the 'Black Blood', but no one knows where he went and what he did during the time he disappeared before, now I think about it, it is likely that he is serving or training in the 'Clock Tower', of course, it is also possible that he is training as you said." Clock Tower's privately recruited armed forces, in short, during that time he probably completed some secret work that outsiders could not imagine, and then he suddenly appeared for a while, and led his men to complete many tasks, becoming the most efficient of the mercenaries, this guy is insidious, cunning, scheming, and a difficult character. The griffon said.
"Our intelligence has confirmed that most of the tasks he completed after his efforts were actually clearing the way for the 'Clock Tower', but in fact, he didn't take on any real external tasks, but just worked for the 'Clock Tower' under this guise." Heavy punch said.
"Well, so we really have to be careful, this kind of person can do anything." The griffon nodded.
The ghost made a few more phone calls, contacted some old friends, and asked them to help investigate the whereabouts of these two people, and the rest was to wait, before there was no new information, they had no way to make other more adequate preparations, they could only mobilize more manpower to protect the safety of the ghost, and fortunately, the ghost and the griffin sent their wives and children to the heavy fist house in the early stage, and now it seems that this is indeed a wise move, if they send the family out at this time, they are likely to face huge risks, from this point of view, the two of them can be regarded as prescient.
It didn't take long for the ghost to send new news, and someone among their listening objects had mentioned the events of that day, the key was that those two people should not know where the ghost was that day, that is, someone revealed the news to them, although it was not sure whether there was a problem with these two people, but at least it was certain that someone had walked out of the news, and the ghost immediately ordered to control the two people and start a targeted investigation, but he did not embarrass the two middle-level, but put the two people under house arrest, before getting the evidence, The ghost won't deal with them, but one of the guys named Yamaguchi is quite smart, and he quickly guessed the reason why he was under house arrest, and immediately told everything he knew, it turned out that the news of the ghost's location was said by a person named Zuomoto Kazuki in the meeting, Zuomoto Kazuki is the deputy leader of the sixth group in Chiba, and he is considered a middle and high-level in the community, and the ghost had seen this guy that day, so he knew the ghost's final whereabouts, but these are not enough to prove that he leaked the news.
"Why don't you catch it and ask it first? But I think if he doesn't admit it, you can't do anything about him, after all, I don't have any evidence in my hand. Heavy punch said.
"Don't make a noise for the time being, strengthen the surveillance of Zuoben, and don't touch it until we have evidence." The griffon said.
"I agree." The ghost nodded.
"From the information sent back by the ghost, it can be seen that some of your subordinates want you to be finished, and some of these guys are cursing you behind your back, and they even use such vicious language, it seems that they hate you a lot." Heavy Punch said as he looked at the listening record sent back by the ghost in his hand.
"When the reform of the community moved their interests, of course they will look at me unhappy, I said that even if the community looks strong on the surface, no matter how harmonious, it is not a monolith, these discordant things, just under the surface, not revealed, I sit in this position, will block some people's financial road, of course, I am in the premise of ensuring the interests of the vast majority of people to ensure the development of the community, so I can win the support of the vast majority of people, but some of them are following the trend, There are also some people who can't get out of their hearts, they hate me, but they don't dare to trouble me, after all, there are still supporters who account for the vast majority, but this support is also under the premise of interests, if they are given the opportunity to kick me down and take the position themselves, then these people absolutely do not hesitate, human nature is so, interests are above. "The ghost seems to see everything very thoroughly.
"You're just looking for some kind of balance." Heavy punch said, "Walking a tightrope in the air, looking at the infinite scenery, in fact, if you are not careful, you will fall, right?" ”
"That's pretty much what it feels like." The ghost nodded.
In the next few days, they really found out Carol's whereabouts, this guy's route seems to be all the way to Tokyo, but they are very strange, why this guy actually wanders around the mountains and rivers slowly, and does not seem to be in a hurry at all, and the other Dudkov has completely disappeared, as if the world has evaporated.
"These two bastards are playing with two lines, one light and one dark, and Carol might be a decoy." Heavy Punch guessed.
"Even if we know he's a decoy, what about deliberately revealing his whereabouts to keep us on the lookout? We don't know where the other person is, and we have to stare at him, that's the most troublesome...... That Dudkov may well have arrived. Holding his chin, the ghost said, "This guy is likely to pop up out of nowhere, and it looks like he's going to have to adjust his deployment." ”
"I'll do it right away." The griffon began to call.
"I have a suggestion." "Isn't it that a lot of people know you're here, so it's not safe, you should change places." ”
"There aren't many people who know that I'm here, and I haven't shown my face in public since the elders expressed their support for me under the leadership of Zhong Village, and the security level here is still over, so there shouldn't be any big problems." The ghost said.
"You are too idealistic, I think you should change to a safe place as soon as possible, this is the urban area, if there is any big mess, the crime will have to fall on your head, it is better to change places and have a good competition with them, they dare to come, of course they dare to come, they dare not come, we can hide for a few days." Heavy punches still think a lot, no matter whether the enemy will come to attack, you have to consider the social impact, if you don't come, it's just that, if you really come, then the responsibility does have to fall on the head of the ghost, after all, this matter is because of him, and he can't get rid of the success or failure.
"I'm for it." The griffin nodded to the ghost, "He's right, even if the higher levels support you, if the chaos you make is too big, it is estimated that no one will be able to hold it, if it falls to the point where the upper echelons must explain to the people, then the trouble will be great, you know that the most taboo thing to do in our business is the anger of the public, if the people feel that our existence is a threat, then what is the status of the city to talk about?" ”
The ghost didn't speak, but he listened to all the words of the two, but he was thinking about whether it would cause the community to lose confidence in him if he left, after all, the tens of thousands of people under his command all used him as a weather vane, if he really changed places, no matter what the reason, it might give his subordinates the illusion that he was going to run away or hide, if these people lost confidence in him, it would be a big blow to the momentum of the community.
"Pay attention to the key points of the problem, the purpose of staying away from the urban area is to avoid causing more civilian casualties, and you can win the approval of the upper echelons through this performance, you give them less trouble is the best gift, what they want is nothing more than safe rule, if it causes panic among the people, it is very detrimental to the rule, if you change places and take the initiative to move the location of possible conflict to the suburbs, or other places, the above must think that you are a person of general knowledge." "It's better for our survival." ”
"It can't be too remote, that is not good for us, we have to find a place where there will not be too little, but it can withstand the toss, your castle is good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not too far from the city, there are villages and towns around, they want to attack a castle, it is not so easy, you can also wait for them to come." Heavy punch said.
"I'm afraid they won't take the bait, the castle is too strong, they don't have a chance to attack, how can they break in? They're not stupid. "Worm thinks it's too idealistic to punch hard.
"There is such a problem." The griffin nodded, "But the outer wall of the castle has been almost demolished, and the purpose of the later renovation is only to make it more comfortable to live in, not to make it more convenient to defend, although it is strong enough, but it is impossible for us to transfer so many people to guard a castle, so it is now at most a solid castle-style villa, which is far from the style of the castle back then, the villa and the castle are two concepts, fused together, without the solidity of the castle and the beautiful appearance of the villa, I think that place can be." ”
"Alright then, let's go there and set up the food and drink and wait for them to come to the door." The ghost nodded.
"How do I feel like I'm waiting for a rabbit?" Worm felt that this issue was considered a bit one-sidedly, and now that he didn't even understand the purpose of Carol and Dudkov, he hurriedly changed to the other side to make a plan to wait for the enemy to come to the door, isn't it a bit premature?
"You don't understand, the point is not to mess around in the downtown area, whatever their purpose is? As long as they are running for ghosts, or we are coming, they will go there, and if their purpose has nothing to do with it, then we can come back after figuring it out, and we can't wait until we have determined their purpose before taking this step, it would be too passive. Heavy punch said.
"Well, I can't talk about you." Worm didn't bother to argue about this issue, for her, it didn't matter where she lived, the situation was not very clear now, for him it was just a simple change of sleeping place, it wouldn't have much impact.
Two hours later, the ghost's helicopter landed on the platform of the castle, in fact, it was less than half an hour away by helicopter, but the ghost set off after dealing with some things, after all, he still had a lot of things to explain before he came out, and he had to say hello to some respected senators before he could disappear, so it took so long, the people who hit the castle had already prepared everything, and the ghost called a few people who came over to take over the underwritten security system, and Alpha had upgraded the security system here, Therefore, it can be seamlessly accessed, and all the security data underwritten can be fed back quickly, which is much more efficient than the ghost's subordinates.
"Gee, this place is good." The punch stretched out.
The griffin came with a part of the car, it took about half an hour to arrive, and the driving was definitely not as fast as the helicopter, so the ghost only brought four bodyguards with him, after all, the space on the helicopter was limited, and it couldn't fit so many people.
"Actually, I haven't been here for a long time." The ghost said as he stood on the helicopter platform and smoked a cigarette.
"It doesn't seem to be the same as the last time I left." Heavy punch looked down and said.
"This place is regularly maintained, and there is really no change, and it is not visible on the surface, but the front wall has been demolished, and it will be better lit in the future." The ghost looked at the time, "Call the griffons and bring something tasty, we'll have a barbecue on the platform tonight." ”
"That's a good idea." As soon as Heavy Punch reached out for his phone, the griffon's phone came in, and when it was connected, he heard the division tell them in a rapid voice that they had been attacked by militants......
