Chapter 40: The Traitor (2)
Duck finally got a piece of tortilla, and he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.
When he was in the southern jungle, he ate tortillas until he vomited, and secretly swore that he would never touch anything made of corn again in his life, but now, after eating sand corn for three days, when he saw the yellow and clear cakes, he immediately remembered the goodness of tortillas.
Look at Sahil on the other side, this staff officer who has no last resort is also eating with a mouth full of scum and snorting incense.
"Sahir, which black marketeer is so bold as to bring the grain down?"
"Hmm...... Have a good time...... Besides......" Sahir swallowed the piece of bread three times and divided it by two, licking his fingers with a heartfelt burp, "this must be a trick of Chahari." β
"How do you know?"
"Obviously, the sword of the Holy Guardian Army is still bleeding, and even if the black market is red, they don't dare to transport the food down. Now that it is so much done at once, it must be the idea of the top brass of the Holy Army of Guardians. β
"Aren't they stupid?"
"There's a hook in the bait. There are a lot of seeds in this batch of grain, and it tells us plainly: 'I know you are short of seeds, here you are, come and get them!' β
"But the problem is that we can't take it. The people of Menzaro are waiting, we know it's a pit and we have to jump into it, or we'll be bastards who will fight the people on the ground and never look back, and take Menzaro into the ditch. β
"That's right, and those seeds must have been manipulated, good and bad, let it be planted, waste time and energy; β
"So what to do?"
"It's easy, let's just find out the traitor and let him confess to the conspiracy to collude with the Holy Protectors. β
Duck frowned: "But, who is that guy?"
"It's too easy, Uncle Ellayi, tell me about it. β
Ellayi on the side laughed and said: "The tunnel is the biggest advantage of the Mensaro people, without the Mensaro people to lead the way, even if you go down the tunnel, you will quickly get lost in the spider web-like cave." Well, a simple fact: Alhair, as the most important and largest node, was actually put to a pot, and the traitor must be the Menzaro who knows the inside story. β
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Second, the Cathars used raid tactics with clear objectives and straightforward routes, and most of the sentinels were killed before they could raise the alarm, and after breaking through the defensive line, the Cathars resorted to indiscriminate massacres, which means that the traitors must not be the natives of the Al Hail node. β
Duck nodded: "Yes, otherwise, he will be finished with him." But is it possible that the traitor is out of the house?"
"That's a good question. It is necessary to analyze the motive of the traitor, what is it that makes a Mensaro who does not hesitate to collude with the people of the earth to raise a butcher's knife against his compatriots? Throughout the ages, all traitors have been nothing more than two words: power and money. β
"If you destroy Al Haier, his power and wealth ......will be unique...... "Dark's heart jerked, "The Farah Node is the second largest node after Al Haier, this guy is the person of the Farah Node? That Vojihan?"
Letifa whispered: "He knows we need seeds, knows the profile of the slime fertilizer, and Alhair has a conflict with his business interests......"
Duck clenched his fists.
"The bastard of the Cathar Army made a condition that he monopolize the commercial trade of the Mensaro world," Ellayi closed his eyes, "Well, you can add a condition to be the leader of all the Menzaro people." And he must be convinced that he will do better than you, an outsider on the earth. β
Duck turned his back, his shoulders trembling, as if he were crying, as if he was laughing, and after a long time, when he turned around, he was in tears, but the corners of his mouth were mocking.
"For the sake of that little profit, to betray one's own compatriots, that is blood, it is blood! Interests, interests! It is the carrot in front of the donkey's eyes, and if he only has it in his eyes, he will be led by the nose! Stupid, stupid, the enemy's knife is on the neck, and he fantasizes about giving up resistance in exchange for mercy!"
Letifa placed a small hand on his shoulder: "Hassan, you are the backbone of the Mensalo people, please abandon those confusing emotions!"
Duck patted the little hand gratefully, "I will." Thank you. He turned to Marduk and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on this bastard, and when the decisive battle comes, I will use his head to pay tribute to the soul of Al Haier!"
Marduk replied murderously.
Ella said, "Let me guess, what else can he sell besides Alhair, except for our food plan?"
Dark's heart moved: "The route, the route to attack the Farah node?"
Ella smiled and didn't speak.
However, his family property is also in the Farah node...... If the condition is to be the king of the Mensaro people and the monopolist of the world trade in Mensalo, what else can not be abandoned...... The enemy's next target must be here!"
Ella Yi high-fived and exclaimed: "What a lion's keen sense of smell, young man! People are alive, but the nodes are dead and can't move! If you are killed, or the Farah node, the last stronghold of the Mensaro, is destroyed, the Mensaro people will really become a group of disorganized, weak rats in the hole!"
"We need to know when and how the enemy is attacking. β
Sahil said: "The enemy has just dropped the bait, and he should not be in a hurry to lift the hook. Besides, this place is more than 100 meters above the ground, and the passage is more complicated than Alhair, even if the traitors betray the road map now, it will take at least two or three days to reach the front-line combat troops when the Guardian Army formulates the attack plan, right......? Mr. Murdez likes to advance with light troops, but such a complex terrain is too difficult to detour, and it is easy to be divided and surrounded by a head-on battle of annihilationβthere is not enough intelligence, so it is difficult to judge. β
As soon as Sahir's words fell, Nibali swept in like a whirlwind: "Hassan, look at the gift I brought you!"
Another wooden box.
Darker forcibly resisted the urge to look up to the sky and sighed, and kept smiling as much as possible: "Nibali, can you tell me what's inside first?"
Nibali snorted dissatisfiedly, "I've bothered to help you find out the information, and you're just such a ruthless guy!"
Letifa said softly, "What kind of gift is it?"
Nibali rolled her eyes at Letifa, dressed in traditional black and covered with a black veil, "It's a custom carpentry contract, my honorable Miss Pious." β
Duck opened the box, and sure enough, there was a contract inside, and he looked up and asked, "What's the use of this thing?"
"This is an official, a big official! β
