It was just before noon that all the information came back.

The reconnaissance battalion of more than 800 people, which lasted nearly six hours, successfully found more than 300 human gathering places, which on the one hand shows the dense population of the Taining Plain, and on the other hand, it also shows to some extent the effect of these days of intensive training.

Among the more than 300 human settlements, there are only two city-states, and the rest are all camps, Liu Zhi asked people to draw a map, and after lunch, he left 2,000 soldiers to guard the city, and the reconnaissance battalion was sent out to guard, and he took the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers to run towards the nearest city.

According to intelligence, this city is located in the northeast, about 80 kilometers away, and the scale is nearly half smaller than the "Spark City".

After a rapid march all the way, it only took more than thirty minutes for Liu Zhi to stop under the city wall with the independent regiment, and he was thinking about how to determine the situation in the city, when a shout came from the head of the city:

"It's the brother of Gabakta City?"

The speaker was a tall young officer, speaking in Indonesian, who recognized the style of armor of the Independent Regiment as coming from the neighboring city of Gabakta.

Liu Zhi looked at Li Bang next to him, the latter hurriedly translated in a low voice, Liu Zhi couldn't help frowning, Li Bang was an officer of Gabakta, but he had never heard of the existence of the city in front of him, so it can be seen that this city is in the "blind spot" of Gabakta, and the current situation is that they not only know Gabakta, but also can recognize the armor style at a glance, then there are only two possibilities, one is that they have already explored Gabakta and know everything well, and the other is that the Indonesian soldiers who escaped from Gabakta, I once entered this city.

"Li Bang, you go and respond to him, and say that we escaped from Gabakta, and wandered outside for several days, and want to enter the city, to see if he is allowed or not. If you have the chance, take a look at the situation in the city. Liu Zhi whispered.

"Okay."

Li Bang responded and went out of the crowd and replied in Indonesian: "We have come from Gabakta, and we have been wandering outside for several days because of the changes in the city. If my brother can see where we come from, he must have seen my colleagues, right? ”

The young officer smiled: "Haha, not only have I seen it, but we also drank together last night." Truth be told, your 'Sobrath' general is a guest in the city, he was very drunk last night, and I don't know if he has woken up now. ”

Sobrat!

Li Bang frowned slightly, this Sobratt was his former boss, the commander of the Second Army in Gabakta City, but although Sobratt was not a believer in Islam, he was not an alcoholic, could it be that he was drunk by them? Well, this is possible.

Thinking of this, Li Bang adjusted his mood and replied with a smile: "That's really good, most of us are subordinates of General Sobrat, I wonder if my brother can make it convenient for me to send a few people in and meet with the general?" ”

The young officer said, "I'm sorry, it's not for me to call the shots in this matter, brother, wait a minute, I'll send someone to ask the city lord." ”

Li Bang raised his hand and saluted, "Then there is Brother Lao." ”

Liu Zhi listened quietly on the side, although there were no Indonesians in the independent group, Li Bang was not the only one who could speak Indonesian, and the conversation between the two was completely translated to him.

Liu Zhi didn't hear any useful information from this conversation, and waited for a moment with peace of mind, when suddenly his ears moved, and he heard a slight noise coming from the city, judging from his many years of experience in battle formations, this should be the footsteps of someone sneaking around.

Liu Zhi immediately understood that the other party wanted to ambush himself and others.

At this time, a soldier ran to the young officer's side, saluted, and whispered something, the young officer nodded, and said to Li Bang with a smile: "The city lord agreed, and specially instructed me to invite you into the city as a guest." ”

Then he shouted at the gate, "Open the door and let the brothers of Gabakta enter the city." ”

Sure enough, it's a trap!

But why did they ambush the people of Gabakta? Is it coveting equipment and population? Or pure hostility? Or have you seen through our identity?

Liu Zhi didn't think much about it, his body jumped out, blinked through a distance of hundreds of steps, and then jumped up and fell to the top of the city more than thirty meters high.

After landing on the ground, he swept his eyes around, and sure enough, he saw rows of heavily armed soldiers squatting under the wall, and they all looked over in surprise at this moment.

The young officer was only three steps away from him, and although his expression was stunned, he was not too flustered, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency is of extraordinary strength, you should be the one who single-handedly caused the tragedy of Gabakta, right?" ”

He speaks English.

Liu Zhi shook his head and said calmly: "If 'tragedy' is replaced with 'liberation', I think it will be more appropriate." ”

The young officer was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, liberate Gabacta, that's not wrong, those guys from Sobratt should have gone to hell a long time ago!" ”

As if seeing through Liu Zhi's doubts, the young officer restrained his smile in time, bowed down and stroked his chest, and saluted: "My name is Lempard, I am the lieutenant colonel garrison officer in the city, and I am honored to see you again, the noble leader of the Yanhuang tribe, Your Excellency Liu Zhi!" ”

Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows, and said with a little surprise: "You know me?" ”

"I really didn't recognize it at first, uh, mainly because of the way you look...... I remember last winter, you still had long hair and ...... eyebrows Still ......" Lempard was a little distracted.

Last winter...... Liu Zhi understood that the original body of this city should be one of the Indonesian camps that he rescued last winter, and it was the seed of democracy that he deliberately planted, he looked at Lempad for a while, it was indeed a little familiar, and asked by the way: "Who is your city lord?" ”

"It's Lord Maramis."

It's him...... Liu Zhi remembered this man, a Christian believer in his thirties, a gentleman with a good demeanor, and his camp was one of the few that impressed Liu Zhi particularly among all the Indonesian camps taken over by the expeditionary force last year, not only because of his promotion of democracy and equality of all ethnic groups, but most importantly, because of his strong pro-Chinese faction, he was a businessman who often traveled between China and Indonesia before his crossing, mainly engaged in maritime trade and freight, and admired Chinese culture very much.

To put it simply, he is a beneficiary of Sino-Indian relations, and he is one of the groups that China has fully supported.

Of course, this superficial attitude, Liu Zhi has always believed half and left half, and now, it happened to be an opportunity to verify what Malamis's heart thought, he turned around and asked Li Bang and the others to stand by, and said to Lempard: "Take me to see Malamis, and, did Sobratt really come to you?" ”

"Please come with me."

Lempard made a gesture and went ahead to lead the way, then began to answer the second question: "Sobratt did come, but he left quickly...... Hey, hey, go to hell! ”

He grinned, laughing harmlessly.

"You killed him?" Yanagi asked.

"I wasn't the one who killed him, I was only responsible for making him stop resisting." Lempard was still smiling, and he was a little smug.

"The same way you do it today?"

"It's about the same, that guy was very cautious, and he almost caught our move, and he waited until the banquet hall to do it."

"And what about the people who came with him?"

"Kill them all, those are Sobratt's henchmen, it's useless to keep them, anyway, there is no shortage of workers here."

The two chatted while walking, and soon came to the City Lord's Mansion, Malamis also didn't recognize Liu Zhi at first sight, and after careful identification, he said with a surprised face: "Mr. Liu!" Why did you come here all of a sudden? Or alone, don't you have an entourage? ”

Lempard helped explain, "Lord Castle, Mr. Liu is Gabakta miserable...... Phew, is the rescuer of the city of Gabakta. ”

Malamis quickly sorted out the middle context, bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, what happened to those Chinese people in Gabakta, I only heard about it recently, if I had known earlier, I would never have sat idly by." ”

"It's okay, Mr. Malamis, I understand your difficulties."

Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm not here to hold you accountable today, I'm here to know, how many soldiers do you have here now?" And how many can be borrowed? ”

Malamis replied directly: "Mr. Liu, the total population of the city is now more than 74,000, and there are more than 12,000 soldiers. ”

This attitude is a bit licking, isn't it...... Liu Zhizheng was surprised, and then heard Malamis add: "By the way, Miss Xie Xiaowan has been here just now, she may not know that you are suddenly visiting, well, I don't know...... Do you need me to send someone to inform Miss Xie? ”

Xiao Wan is here!? Liu Zhi immediately understood why Malamis's attitude was almost excessive, it turned out that the tribe had sent people here.

But why Xiaowan? She and her brother are obviously in the government office, who sent a soft and weak girl away?

Temporarily pressing the doubts in his heart, Liu Zhi bowed his head slightly and said, "Well, you can." ”

He guessed that the tribe should not have leaked the news of his disappearance, at least not let the subordinate forces of Maramis know.
