Section 8: Investigations
"What do you Red Scorpion Corps think about this?" Sequoia's Yevgeny turned his head to look at the bearded man and asked.
"What else can I think?" The bearded man frowned and asked rhetorically with some unhappiness. Having lost nine Viper Sand Carts and twenty-eight members of the Red Scorpion team, as well as three Transhumans, they will no longer be held responsible. The reason why they participated in this action to suppress Cyris Investment Co., Ltd. was to get a piece of the pie, but now that the benefits have not been reaped, they have lost tens of thousands of gold coins. Moreover, he didn't have a good impression of the Sequoia Company and the Baili Foundation, and when the Red Scorpion Corps first arrived in Desert Five, they were jointly suppressed and occupied most of the mines in the jurisdiction. However, as an "old bird" who has a firm foothold, bullying the "rookie" who has just arrived here is a consistent tradition in the southwest commercial group gathering area of Fengsha Castle. Even if they suffer a loss, the Red Scorpion Corps can only admit it.
"Brother, I understand your ......feelings," Yevgeny said with a slight smile, "you have indeed suffered some losses, but I promise you that you will be compensated handsomely, in the name of Sequoia." โ
"I hope so." The bearded man said lukewarmly. Due to his cold attitude, the scene became a little stiff.
In the silence, Valeria of the Belley Foundation shook her wine glass, her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then with a somewhat charming smile, she said: "Everyone here, don't you think it's ......" She deliberately lengthened her voice, paused for a moment, and then continued, "This small company with an aristocratic background in the Northern Wilderness Territory is really a little arrogant. She paused again and said in a strengthened tone, "If we can't suppress their arrogance, the mine we have taken will be ruined." โ
"Don't worry, Ms. Valerya, we've taken action and sent out a Green Hornet Scout Company to hunt down their patrols." Yang Yong of the Green Hornet Mobile Corps said. Of the two fortresses that have been built recently, the Storm Fortress is the site of Notre Dame, and they naturally dare not touch it, but the Chifeng Fortress is just a small company with a simple background, and they can suppress it at will.
"How's the result?" Tokuda Daichi, who had not spoken, interjected and asked.
"So far, we've eliminated three of their patrols." Yang Yong replied.
"Well done!" Tokuda nodded vigorously and gave a thumbs up.
"If they choose to remain silent and narrow their patrols, we win." Yang Yong raised his glass to Tokuda Dazhi and said.
"I wish us a happy cooperation." Yevgeny then stood up and raised his glass.
"Happy working together!" Valeria raised her glass in response.
"Hmm." The bearded man also stood up and raised his glass in response.
Shortly after the Hive Fortress discussion ended, the Black Pig King began interrogating the Green Hornets. In the candle-lit tent, the Green Hornets are tied to wooden chairs, answering questions while hanging needles.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the confession, the Black Pig King kept using intimidation, torture, repeated questioning and other means during the interrogation, so that the interrogated person was in extreme panic. Iron Bell sat behind a long table, meticulously recording the other party's confessions.
After several hours of interrogation, Tie Ling wrote down several pages of dense information and had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the Green Hornet Mobile Corps.
The leader of the Green Hornet Mobile Corps is named Bill, who has the strength of the Holy Rank, and is nicknamed "Cyan Killer Bee", so named because of his blue-black skin and cruel and aggressive personality. Its skin color is said to have been caused by ingestion of poisonous plants during its involvement in dimensional development, and its appearance is middle-aged, and its actual age is unknown. Since the lifespan of the Holy Rank powerhouses far exceeds that of ordinary humans, most of them are between one hundred and fifty to three hundred years, and some can even reach five or six hundred years. Therefore, it is impossible to tell their actual age based on their appearance alone.
The defenders of the Hive Fortress are about 1,300 people, and there are three teams of power armor warriors, including 21 psionics, 7 worms, and 2 psionic warriors; It has a reconnaissance company, an assault company, a sniper company and other special operations companies, about 150 mecha of various types, more than 30 modified people, and about 500 ordinary garrison members. In the surrounding fortresses, it is considered to have the most garrisons.
When he saw the information, Iron Slag couldn't help frowning, even the Templar Princess's Tyr Fortress, there were not so many garrisons. However, this is due to his lack of clarity about the situation, and it is not a deliberate increase in the manpower of the Green Hornet. The reason why the fortress of Tyre has fewer garrisons is because Yuge can mobilize the Dawn Expeditionary Force to reinforce it at any time. And the gathering area of the business group can only be defended by its own strength, if it is waited for the dawn expeditionary force to come to the rescue, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold.
At this moment, there are two choices in front of him, one is to shrink the patrol range, not to touch its edge, and wait for the fortress to be completed before making plans, and the other is to resolutely fight back, and fight as much as he wants.
It's easy to choose one, but with his years of experience in Iron Mountain Town, if he compromises now, he will be bullied even worse in the future. So he quickly made a decision, on the one hand, he asked Hagrid and the Black Pig King to assemble a team, divide the troops into two ways, and sweep the green bee team in the jurisdiction; On the other hand, he himself went to the precinct of the hive fortress and hunted down their patrols.
He did not believe that the Green Hornet Mobile Corps would dare to start a war. A civil war between humans will definitely alarm the Wind Sand Castle side. No one cares about small fights, but when it comes to legion operations, the top will definitely send someone down to mediate. Moreover, with his current strength, plus the Tiger Regiment and the Suzaku Regiment, it is not at all less than the garrison of the Hive Fortress, but there is some lack of power armor combat units. But it's not a big deal, and he can call for help from Stormkeep if necessary.
As for the cyan killer bee Bill, although he doesn't have enough information and doesn't know the strength of the other party, he has Lena, and it is definitely more than enough to kill the other party. You must know that Brandon Peter, who has the power of the Holy Order, has to be honest when he sees the Dragonborne, let alone the ordinary Holy Order. What's more, although Bill is a Saint-level powerhouse, he doesn't have a camp, as long as he leads him to a deserted place, there will be no consequences if he kills him.
In the following time, Iron Slag went on a killing spree, and as long as he encountered someone from the Green Hornet Mobile Corps, he would kill him directly. Although Hagrid was reluctant to massacre civilian soldiers, he had no choice but to acquiesce for the sake of future development.
After a set day, the green bee team in the jurisdiction of the Chifeng Fortress was wiped out, and the patrol team in the area under the jurisdiction of the Hive Fortress was also killed by the iron slag seven or eight teams. But the strange thing is that after losing hundreds of members, the Green Hornet Mobile Corps did not react in the slightest, as if nothing had happened.
The opponent's unusual behavior made the iron slag vigilant, so he stopped his actions and returned to the camp.
As soon as he parked the car, he received a notice from the iron bell that the Wind Sand Castle had sent an investigation team to cooperate in the investigation of the missing case of the Green Hornet Mobile Corps patrol. Iron Slag couldn't help frowning, it turned out that they wanted to use their power to suppress people, and use their mature social connections to exert pressure on them, so they immediately quickened their pace and rushed to the command camp.
Three clerks dressed in leather shoes and wearing the badge of the town hall of the sandcastle were seen sitting in the reception area, and Hagrid was talking to one of the obese clerks. Tie Ling whispered to him on the side that the person was He Xin, the supervisor of the Wind Sand Castle Mining Committee, the person in charge of this investigation, who had had a contact with Ciris, and was a typical low-level bureaucrat, cautious, but greedy for money and lustful.
Iron Slag approached quietly, only to hear He Xin say, "Your name is Hagrid, right?" โ
"Yes." Hagrid nodded.
"Commander Hagrid, I hope you understand what we do. Appearing here is not our original intention, but the meaning of the above, and we are quite helpless. He Xin said sincerely, that gentle tone was like an old friend who had known each other for many years.
"Understand, understand, understand." Hagrid grinned, a little silly.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, in my opinion, it may be a small misunderstanding." He Xin smiled and asked Hagrid, "You said yes, right?" โ
"Hmm." Hagrid replied.
"I'm a person, I don't usually have any hobbies, I like to make friends......" He Xin smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "The business of friends is my business." โ
"What do you mean......" Hagrid hesitated.
"These two friends have come from afar, as the landlord, shouldn't you arrange a place for them to relax." He Xin glanced at the other two clerks and said pointedly.
"Oh......" Hagrid nodded in realization, and looked at Lilith beside him, intentionally or not. The latter immediately understood, turned and left.
A moment later, Hagrid invited He Xin and the others to the dining tent next to the command camp, and then opened a bottle of "Beowulf ยท VSโใ This wine is known as the "Hero Wine", with a market price of about 70 or 80 gold coins, and it is in the same series as the "Pope's Wine" St. Augustine Roya.
Iron Slag and Iron Bell stood behind Hagrid as subordinates. Watching the latter take out his treasured wine, the iron slag was painful. Since leaving the academy, the best wine he has been able to drink has been Beowulf Brown. VS too. In the past, drinking St. Augustine Roa was like drinking water, but now the treatment has plummeted, and the wine that was previously unattractive can now only be drunk once or twice occasionally.
"Oh, how embarrassed are we to drink such good wine." Seeing Hagrid open the wine, He Xin pretended to say, and stretched out his hands, making a gesture to stop it.
"You're so polite, good wine is for your brother to drink." When he said this, Hagrid only felt a little sick to his stomach. But there is no way, he can't help but abide by the rules of the low-level officialdom in the Yincheng world.
"It's really a waste of money for my brother......," He Xin sighed.
Just then, there was a burst of laughter outside the tent. He Xin suddenly turned his head and looked at the entrance.
Then, his eyes lit up, and a group of scantily clad warblers led by Lilith streamed in, with beautiful eyes and a clever smile. For a time, the tent was full of warblers and swallows, and the garden was full of spring.
