Chapter 34: The Scorpion Emperor and Immorton
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, I'm still scouting the position in front, preparing for a surprise tomorrow."
"Huh? Could it be that something has changed in the mainland? ”
With the arrival of two more people in the military tent, the whole atmosphere suddenly became lively, everyone exchanged heads and ears, exchanged information with each other, and in the barracks without explicitly asking for silence, their remarks did not shy away from anything at all.
"Dodo!"
Marshal Liu saw people coming, so he tapped the table twice and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Then he began to say: "Just now, His Majesty the First Emperor sensed an extremely cold force rising in the Three Kingdoms in front of us, and His Majesty wondered if there was also some ancient creature that had been awakened. ”
"Huh?"
Xia Jie's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the cold power that Ying Zheng sensed should have a certain relationship with the tasks released by his system, and in this world, the only ancient creatures that have appeared are the Demon Scorpion Emperor and Immorton.
If Ah San awakens other creatures, the mission description on the system should also clearly indicate it, instead of showing words such as the Scorpion Emperor and the Legion of the Reaper.
Under the evidence of the two sides, Xia Jie thought that he had deduced the truth, but he still chose to continue listening, rather than standing up and shaking it all out stupidly.
"General Yang, you have studied this aspect before, and even the First Emperor was awakened by you, judging from your experience, does Ah San have the possibility of awakening ancient creatures?"
Marshal Liu asked Yang Guotai sideways, in the entire military tent, although he and Xia Jie were not the first class in arranging troops, but for this matter, they considered themselves second, and no one dared to admit first.
Suddenly being named, Yang Guotai slammed his spirit, stood up in line and saluted back: "Marshal Hui, we did study these mythological records before, but it was limited to what O'Connor did in Egypt, as well as our own literature records, but for Ah San...... We don't know much. ”
Marshal Liu shook his head silently: "Okay, although Ah San is broken, they are also an ancient cultural country after all, even if they have this kind of means, it is not surprising." ”
He believed in Ying Zheng's judgment, and naturally he was convinced that Ah San already had mysterious powers, but the key was that he didn't know what means Ah San had, which was very distressing.
Now that Huaguo has been attacking for more than half a month, all the strength has been exposed, and at this time, if Ah San sacrifices any unknown power, it is very likely that Huaguo's attack will be unsustainable, and it will be driven out of this large area of land that has been occupied.
If this is the case, then the little advantage that China has just played will also be gone, and several other countries will send troops again, and everything will return to an even worse situation than before.
Xia Jie raised his eyebrows, looked at the silent crowd around him, and looked at Marshal Liu and Ying Zheng who were frowning and thinking deeply, knowing that if it dragged on any longer, it would really delay things.
So he feigned a cough and stood up.
His movement instantly focused everyone's attention on him, but seeing that he said confidently:
"Report to the marshal, I think that if Ah San had this kind of power before, they would never wait until our soldiers came to the city to use it, so this accident, there must be something we don't know about the situation in it, I suggest contacting the country to see what Ah San has done in the past two days, so that we can judge what they want."
When the two armies were at war, it was extremely difficult to inquire about them because many military movements took place after the battlefield.
On the contrary, the country's foreign ministry and ambassadors abroad are the eyes and ears of the military, and they can find real intelligence from the complicated external information.
In Xia Jie's opinion, since Ah San has awakened the ancient creatures, and his mission clearly points out that this is the Demon Scorpion Emperor of Egypt and Immorton.
Then, based on these two pieces of information, it is easy to come up with an answer: Ah San and Egypt must have some shady deal behind their backs.
Therefore, he proposed to start with Ah San's diplomacy, and he would definitely gain something, and he could push the boat along the river, tell the facts and discernment of the Demon Scorpion Emperor and Immorton, and then discuss a countermeasure to ensure the smooth completion of this mission.
When the other officer heard this, he only felt that there were many loopholes, and the battle between the two armies was not a child's game, so how could it be possible to turn the tables in a moment, and all the changes in the enemy must have been planned by them in advance, not improvised.
He retorted: "Not necessarily, Ah San may have had such power before, what if they deliberately let us go deep into their hinterland, so that they are ready to attack from all sides in a state of encirclement and completely bury our army?" So I think the first thing to do is to hold off on the offensive and look around carefully to make sure we don't get swallowed by the enemy. ”
This is the common disease of too many generals who lead troops to fight, and they feel that everything is premeditated and trapped, and they are eager to deduce all the possibilities aside, screen out all the loopholes in them, and then fill them one by one, and then they can rest assured that they can formulate an offensive strategy.
He spoke out at the moment, not against Xia Jie, but just because he felt that the other party's inference was unreliable, unreasonable, and instinctively refuted.
But how did he know that the system in Xia Jie's brain had clearly pointed out that this change came from two ancient creatures in Egypt. So, from the very beginning, he has already lost.
And General Yang saw that his colleagues were being scolded, and he couldn't help but speak out in support of Xia Jiedao:
"I don't agree with that. Marshal, before Ah San has always adopted a policy of encirclement against our country, and even united with other countries to encroach, it is enough to show that they have not achieved this kind of strength before, and now with such a change, I support Xia Jie's opinion, first thoroughly investigate Ah San's actions in recent days, and then make corresponding countermeasures. ”
Speaking of charging into battle, ten of them tied together are not Xia Jie's opponents, but he is not afraid of anyone in this kind of debate on the art of war, except for the group of people in the Huaguo General Staff, of course.
"Rest easy."
Marshal Liu stretched out his hand to appease their excitement, and he felt that Yang Guotai and Xia Jie had more say in this regard than ordinary generals.
Then he turned around and walked to the radio station, instructed the correspondent, and contacted the country.
The command room, quiet.
The officer who had questioned Xia Jie before also stood aside indifferently, not ashamed of Marshal Liu's actions.
He just fulfilled an obligation for the general and put forward his own opinions, not deliberately looking for a sense of existence.
"Didi, Didi......"
With the crisp sound of the telegram, an encrypted message was transmitted, and after the correspondent hurriedly translated it, it was handed over to Marshal Liu.
He looked down, his expression froze suddenly, turned to look directly at Yang Guotai, and asked, "You just said that you only know anything about what O'Connor did in Egypt?" ”
Yang Guotai was stunned and replied, "Yes, yes." ”
Marshal Liu hurriedly walked to the middle, slapped the message on the table, and said happily: "I was really told by you!" This time, Ah San is a mysterious power from Egypt! Tell us all about Egypt and what that O'Connor did! ”
Xia Jie smiled, pushed Yang Guotai, who was still stunned, and urged in a low voice: "Why don't you go and talk to the marshal quickly." ”
"Huh?"
Yang Guotai turned around and cried and laughed: "I just gave you the town, this credit should be yours, or you go." ”
He really didn't think about it so much just now, he spoke out to support Xia Jie because both of them are now under the same command of Ying Zheng, most of them are out of comradeship, and at the same time, they are a little selfish, they want to show their role in front of Ying Zheng, so as to ask for another fountain of immortality for Cui Yu.
Xia Jie smiled, "Go ahead, I just glanced at those materials at the time, and I almost forgot about them, don't say something wrong." ”
This is also a fact, a lot of his knowledge of the Scorpion Emperor and Immorton is only limited to the things shown in the movie, and it is far less comprehensive than the information collected by General Yang.
Now that the war is imminent, the slightest mistake may cause irreparable consequences, and there is no room for omission.
And now that he has got what he wants, he will always leave in the future, rather than taking a big package and letting Yingzheng put his hopes here, it is better to let Yang Guotai show his face more.
"Yes, that's good." Hearing Xia Jie say that he had forgotten, Yang Guotai had no choice but to nod helplessly, not pushing.
Then he stepped forward and told all the things he had painstakingly collected, speculated, about the resurgence of the two ancient creatures of Egypt.
From the first time O'Connor and others stepped into the capital of the dead, to the scorpion emperor buried underground, he told everything in great detail.
After he finished speaking, Marshal Liu was silent, Ying Zheng also frowned, and the other officers on the field also looked at each other, full of doubts.
The command room was quiet for a while before Marshal Liu slowly spoke: "In other words, Ah San, it is very likely that he has mastered these mysterious powers of Egypt...... And what His Majesty sensed before is likely to be the Demon Scorpion Emperor, or the Pharaoh Priest Immorton? ”
"Marshal, there may be more than that!"
Xia Jie didn't wait for General Yang's affirmation, then stepped forward and said.
"What?" Marshal Liu turned his head to look over.
"According to what General Yang just said, Immorton and O'Connor entered the Scorpion Emperor's Tower at the same time, and Immorton wanted to challenge it to obtain the Scorpion Bracelet. In the end, O'Connor and the others escaped, and Immorton was buried there forever, and he failed to challenge and probably became a servant of the Scorpion King. ”
Xia Jie's bland words made the brows of everyone present tighten by three points.
He continued: "This time, if Ah San awakens the Demon Scorpion Emperor, then Immorton will also follow, and if they awaken Immorton, the Demon Scorpion Emperor will definitely reappear in the world, and the two should appear together." ”
Through the information obtained through the system, Xia Jie combined the story expounded by General Yang, and actually said an inference that he himself believed in.
