Chapter Ninety-Six: Van Oozhe's Night

"Enemy troops are retreating!" The informant reported to Gregor on the battlefield.

"Hmph~!" Gregor made a voice of contempt for his enemies.

"Well done! General Gregault! The officer next to Gregor began to slap his ass.

"Don't say stupid things!" Gregor scolded softly.

"Huh!?"

The officer was startled, not knowing why his horse's fart had slapped the horse's leg.

"Can this be called warfare? This kind of battle, children can command! All thanks to Van Oozhe's terrain and the armored train Ezel. Gregor said lightly. Obviously, this kind of one-sided combat team is no different from a child's house.

However, the volunteers on the frontal battlefield did suffer heavy casualties. The wreckage of a dozen chariots billows black smoke, telling of their own tragic experiences. Almost all of the Volunteers' chariots were reimbursed for this short charge. More than three layers of infantry were killed by cluster shells fired from train guns.

It wasn't until the evening that the team led by Ah Zhe came to the designated place. Because they need to reach the city through the mountain wall, it is easy to be spotted during the day, so Ah Zhe and the others hide until the sun goes down completely.

All the people had to do was use the tightrope to climb down the mountain wall to reach the hidden cave and meet the resistance forces inside Van Oozhe.

After climbing down the mountain wall, the group began to make their way to the designated mine, encountering several Imperial patrol soldiers along the way. But for the Reaper Special Combat Team, which is already familiar with infiltration operations, there is no difficulty at all. Farudio and others, who often train with the Reaper Special Combat Team, are no strangers to this method of combat. Therefore, it can be said that there is no danger along the way.

After arriving at the entrance of the mine, everyone entered the mine while on guard. Special forces should not lose their vigilance at any time. It's like in the original book, a group of people dressed in plain clothes, and it is a joke to sneak in without even bringing a dagger. It's not like you're not unconditioned to carry a weapon. And who dares to guarantee that what you encounter must be the rebels, what if you encounter the trap of the emperor?

There is no lighting in the mine. But the cave doesn't make it look too dark. The Ragnath around the mine emits a faint blue light, which becomes the main source of light in the cavern.

"It's the Ragnate mine. Even if you don't use lighting or night vision devices, it won't have much impact on the viewing range. Well? Halfway through speaking, LaRugao saw Farudio's gesture.

After seeing the gesture, everyone hid and became vigilant. Lamar used ore from everywhere to knock rhythmically on a section of wooden wall. Stone is used because different equipment makes different sounds when struck on wood. Only the sound of stones knocking can prove each other's identity.

However, after a few seconds, the sound of stones hitting the wooden wall could also be heard on the opposite side.

"Hey~! The greeting man came. Faroudio breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice.

Seeing this situation, Ah Zhe shook his head slightly. Letting his guard down before he saw the informant. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be extremely serious. For Ah Zhe, even if he meets an informant, he has to secretly test whether the other party is disguised or betrayed himself. This is all something Ah Zhe learned when he was a killer.

Just then the wooden wall was opened. A one-eyed man with a turban walked out.

"Welcome, Volunteers. I'm the leader of the Resistance, Zaka. The man said, looking left and right. Men's headscarves and scarves are embroidered with ethnic patterns peculiar to the Darukus.

"Darukus?" Rogie looked disgusted when she saw Xhaka.

To Rogie's displeasure, Zaka just looked at it and said nothing.

"Captain of the first squad, Farudio Lanzart." Farudio held out his hand and shook it with Xhaka.

After confirming the identity of the other party, the Reaper team also walked out of the hiding place, but there were still a few team members hiding in the shadows.

"Captain of the Reaper's Special Forces, Virugin-Guntel. Please advise! Virukin shook Xhaka's hand as well.

"I didn't expect it to be the famous Grim Reaper! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Xhaka's eyes lit up when he heard Virugin's words, but as the leader, he didn't talk too much nonsense: "I'll take you to visit the base first, please come with me." With that, he was ready to turn around and lead the way. But a casual glance made him stop.

After looking at Rogie for a moment, Zaka asked, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

"No~ It's just that I started to smell a smell just now." Rogie replied with her eyes closed.

"Taste?" Zaka asked inexplicably.

"I can't stand the smell of the Darukus the most, and the back and forth in front of Ren's eyes is so annoying." Rogie looked unhappy.

"Say no more! Rogie! Virukin shouted.

"No! You should have thought that this would be the case if you brought me. Rogie was very emotional.

"Rogie! It's the time of the mission, and you should keep your emotions in check. You know, it's not safe enough to make a lot of noise. Ah Zhe frowned and scolded.

"Sorry ~ Instructor! Only this thing cannot be compromised. That's how I survived" After hearing Ah Zhe's scolding, Luo Ji's mood calmed down a little, but her tone was still very tough.

"Do you think you're superior?" Zaka looked at Rogie calmly.

"Huh!?" Naturally, Rogie doesn't have the idea of superiority, but she just has a grudge against the Darukus. You must know that her parents died at the gunpoint of the Darukus.

"Being discriminated against is commonplace, and you can't influence us if you think so. But don't forget one thing, this is our city. Without our help, you will be nowhere. With that, Zaka turned away from Rogie's line of sight.

"Hmph~!"

As soon as Rogie wanted to refute the other party, she was stopped by LaRugo.

"Forget it!"

Luo Ji, who was being pulled, snorted dissatisfiedly and did not speak.

The team followed the Resistance to their hideout point, where there was a window to observe the interior of Van Oozhe. Shelter points are built on top of mountain walls. There are tens of thousands of such settlements on the entire mountain wall of Van Oozhe, so there is nothing to be gained in the emperor's many searches.

After arranging a resting room, Achi and Alicia arrived at Xhaka's room. Virukin and Farudio arranged for the rest of the players and a guard post at night.

Alicia was now counting the weapons and ammunition that the Resistance could support. After all, in order to hide Ah Zhe's spatial ability from the first team, he couldn't blatantly take out ammunition supplies, and he had to use these standard equipment after the ammunition he carried was exhausted. To that end, A-Zhe is inspecting the weapons stockpiled by the Resistance. It has to be said that these weapons are simply too backward. The slow rate of fire, the bulky body, and the range of the weapon are very unsatisfactory.

While counting the munitions, Alicia inadvertently looked up at the city in the distance, and the city was cold at night.

"What a deserted city." Alicia said, looking at the city in the distance.

"It's been like this since it was occupied by the Empire. Losing the vitality of the past, people have to be low-voiced. At this point, Xhaka got up and walked to the window and continued: "And the biggest change is there. ”

"Where is it??" Alicia followed Xhaka's gaze to the rows of improvised houses and searchlit watchtowers outside the city.

"A symbol of imperial occupation, a forced asylum for the Darukus." Zaka's tone was very heavy, but his words did not stop: "The Darukus from all over the country are gathered there and forced to work. Not only from this country, but also from the Empire. Simply because it is a Darukus. Xhaka said the last sentence with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. I don't know if it's to mock the world, or the fate of the nation of Darukus.

"But you can join Azhe's country! There you can live in peace. The kind-hearted Alicia hurriedly told Azhe about the establishment of the paradise.

"It's not all the same everywhere in this world for us Darukus. It's just a different person who oppresses us. Xhaka said, shaking his head.

"You are not joining the country behind me, but the country I have built." After hearing Alicia say about the existence of Paradise, Azhe couldn't be silent.

"The country you founded?" Zaka turned his head to look at Azhe suspiciously.

"That's right! A fortified city that can accommodate 60 million civilians and 30 million soldiers. A city that belongs to me! Ah Zhe deliberately accentuated his tone when he said [My City], believing that smart people can hear Ah Zhe's meaning.

"What price do we have to pay?" Zaka asked, staring into Azhe's eyes.

To be the leader of a resistance group is certainly not stupid.

"Your force! As well as loyalty! Ah Zhe said solemnly. If you don't take this kind of thing seriously, it's easy to give the impression that you can't be trusted. Therefore, Ah Zhe behaved very seriously.

"Are you going to make us knives in your hands? What's the difference between that and now? Zaka asked.

"Whether or not to join the army is entirely up to your personal wishes. And as my knife will be dignified, not like I am now kept like a pig and a dog. Isn't it? Ah Zhe replied lightly.

After hearing Azhe's words, Xhaka closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I need to think about it for a while. And I can't give up on my compatriots who are still being imprisoned. ”

"Of course! You have plenty of time to think about it. Just reply before we leave. But I think you should also know that you can't let more people know about what happened just now, right? After Ah Zhe finished speaking, he began to continue to bow his head and fiddle with the standard equipment.
