Chapter 22: Killing
"Seventy-six enemies were killed, and none of them were killed or wounded...... Zhao Yali put down the battle report with a complicated expression: "The new weapon is really-"
"Efficient." Feng Chen said.
Zhao Yali nodded: "Yes, it is efficient." β
This is already the second day of the battle, Feng Chen and Zhao Yali are in Liu Jing's office, and they got yesterday's battle report. Feng Chen was not surprised by this result, and even felt that it was nothing at all, but Liu Jing and Zhao Yali seemed to be a little shocked. In the past, when fighting in the diagonal area, unless it was to enter the shelter base, more than 20 people died on both sides combined, and the number of enemies destroyed this time was somewhat unexpected.
Feng Chen glanced at the number of enemies destroyed and asked, "How come it is seventy-six, isn't there only more than forty people who walked into the ambush point?" β
"Some soldiers in the diagonal area heard the explosion, probably wanting to see the situation and running into the ambush point." Liu Jing said.
Oh, it turned out to be a head-away.
Feng Chen thought about it, and then asked, "Liu Jing, have you ever thought about how we should treat the residents of Diagonal District after we capture it?" β
Feng Chen's question was asked suddenly, and Liu Jing and Zhao Yali were stunned.
After a while, Zhao Yali said: "Wouldn't it be too far away to mention this now?" β
Since Zhao Yali was born, the shelter has been fighting with the diagonal area, and after so many years, Zhao Yali has long taken the existence of the diagonal area for granted, although she has also thought about destroying the diagonal area or something, but it is more just a thought, and now as soon as Feng Chen said it, Zhao Yali instinctively felt that this matter was too far away.
"No, not far at all." Feng Chen shook his head and said, "Today, the escort team retreats to the base for repairs, Ptolemy won't say anything, but what about tomorrow?" What about the day after tomorrow? With an electromagnetic cannon in hand, it's hard to trust Lemy to stay in the base and not attack. At the moment it seems that the Diagonal Zone has no ability to stop us, and Ptolemy will soon reach the gate of the Diagonal Zone, break through the gate and enter the base of the Diagonal Zone, which will definitely be occupied. β
Zhao Yali looked incredulous, but Liu Jing immediately understood Feng Chen's train of thought, and she nodded: "Makes sense." β
"So we'd better think about what to do after occupying the diagonal area now," Feng Chen didn't know how much he had read on the news before about the various bullshit caused by the fusion of two ethnic groups or two regions, even if he was just an otaku before, he knew that this kind of thing must be cautious, he said: "For example, what treatment should we give to the residents of the diagonal area, do we treat them as slaves, give them limited rights to live, or give them exactly the same rights as our residents?" What if they are given some kind of treatment and our inhabitants are dissatisfied? What if the residents of Diagonal resist? How to settle the old hatred between the shelter and the diagonal district...... Issues such as these must be handled with caution. β
Feng Chen didn't mention the option of destroying all the residents of the Diagonal District at all, which was unnecessary and completely unacceptable in his opinion.
Liu Jing didn't expect that as soon as Feng Chen said this, she also realized the difficulty of the follow-up work of the occupation, her face turned solemn, and said, "I will seriously consider it." β
Seeing Liu Jing's serious attitude, Feng Chen was relieved, he was still quite confident in Liu Jing's ability.
Then, Liu Jing looked at Feng Chen and said, "By the way, what are you going to do next?" β
Liu Jing asked about the mother machine, and Feng Chen said without thinking about it: "It should be the production of excavators and transport vehicles, with these two, it will be much easier in all aspects in the future." β
β¦β¦
With a creak, the door opened, and the king's servants stood silently behind it, nodding to the people.
The crowd at the door immediately moved, and Fraser followed them into the great hall where the king lived. The main hall occupies an unusually large area, and I don't know if it is the reason for the dim light, but I can't see the edge at a glance; The ubiquitous purple and intertwined patterns add a bit of mystery and weirdness to the main hall. As soon as he saw this scene, Frazier reflexively felt a deep sense of fear, and he suppressed his fear and found his place to kneel.
There was no one on the throne, and Fraser guessed that the king was in the room to the right of the throne.
The people waited for a while, and suddenly the king's voice came from the room.
"Go back!"
Go back? Who's going back? Fraser couldn't help but look up, and many people looked around with confused expressions, just like him.
Immediately afterwards, the iron-cast door was opened, and Wang strode out, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and suppressed all kinds of thoughts.
The king was a man of small stature, with a sallow skin and an unhealthy appearance, and eyes that seemed to be on fire and with a sinister look, with which no one would want to look at him, and whose nose was high and his mouth so thin that it was barely visible. After sitting down on the throne, the king did not speak for a long time, allowing the pressure of silence to permeate the hall.
Knowing that it was none of his business, Fraser swallowed nervously.
It seemed that two centuries had passed before the king slowly said, "I heard that my soldiers have been defeated? β
There was silence.
"Andrey, you say."
Andrei was the head of the army in the diagonal district, and he stood up almost bravely and said: "Yes. β
"Why is this happening?" The king looked at Andre and said coldly.
"At the moment, we don't know for sure," Andrei said, sweating on his head, "but nearby soldiers reported hearing loud noises. We guess...... Our guess is that the other side has acquired some kind of powerful new weapon. β
Considering the steeply rising losses, it is not difficult to think of new weapons.
"New weapons...... As I said, the shelter has their guide, and as I said, if we don't find him out and kill him soon, then we will soon have an end, and this new weapon is a case in point......" Wang said coldly and softly, but everyone could feel his anger: "Now it seems that you don't care about my warnings at all, and after more than ten days, what progress has the army made?" β
The king paused and said softly, "I'm still too merciful. β
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand.
"I have something to say!" Andrei realized what the king was going to do and hurriedly shouted.
"You say."
"Your orders are simply unreasonable!" Andrei took a few deep breaths, and said loudly as if he was out of the way: "Yes, the shelter is weaker than us, and there are fewer people than us, but it is impossible to find a specific person in such a short time!" Besides, you only said that you were looking for a guide, who was the guide? What are the characteristics? Did you tell us? God knows if the shelter really has such a guide?! I've had enough! You're always killing! We are wild boars to the slaughter in your eyes! You bastard is so good, why don't you go find that damn guide yourself?! β
After saying that, Andrei gasped for air.
Fraser's heart trembled when he heard this, and some of them were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground. Oh, my God! Provoke the king?! Andrey, is this guy going to drag all of us to be buried together?! Fraser tried not to think about what the king would do in his rage.
Unexpectedly, the king was not angry, his eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth bent upward, and he said, "Is this what you have to say?" Pointless complaints? β
Andre's eyes widened, and suddenly, he turned and ran out, his speed was so fast, he knocked down four or five people who fell to their knees along the way, and in the blink of an eye, he ran to the door, and even held the doorknobβ
"Stupid."
Wang stretched out his right index finger, and with a slight click, a black gas erupted, and in an instant, it crossed the hall and hit Andre. Immediately afterward, Andrei fell to the ground with a thud, lifeless.
Fraser didn't look back, he didn't have to look to know what was going on, and that dangerous thought reappeared in his mind......
"No action? Who says I can't act? On the throne, the king said softly in a voice that only he could hear.
