Chapter 24: Ready to Fly (I)
The development of events has always been under Yang Zhenghua's control.
But only Aliyun's reaction after listening to the report was a little unexpected by Yang Zhenghua.
According to Yang Zhenghua's understanding of Ai Liyun, unlike Mr. Yong Bowen's Yes, she is a character who must not rub sand in her eyes, and the actions of the westward advance team have completely violated the company's orders.
Destroying a small group of pursuing troops, who at this time did not know the status and number of Fire Dragons in the Fire Tree Empire, was a completely different concept than destroying a town.
It is conceivable that it will not be long before the Fire Tree Empire will find that a town on their border has been wiped off the map, and it will not be long before the troops on the banks of the Wraith River are discovered, and then it will inevitably be a retaliatory war.
This is the last thing a company wants to see.
Yang Zhenghua is well aware of the current contradictory mentality of the company's top management.
That is, like these battle mages, they covet such a unified kingdom that suddenly appeared, and they have no confidence in going to war with a country, so they are generally at the two ends of the first rat at the same time, and they want to fight but dare not fight.
The actions of the advance team undoubtedly disturbed this psychology of the company's top brass, and they would have to face the inevitable war with the Fire Tree Dynasty with a forced mentality.
No matter what the outcome of the war is, no matter when the war starts, Li Ruiliu, as the commander of the advance team, will inevitably be severely punished.
For this reason, as soon as he received Li Ruiliu's report -- in fact, Yang Zhenghua had already received the news of the two combat mages under Li Ruiliu -- made a decision to punish Li Ruiliu, temporarily suspending Li Ruiliu from his first position, waiting for the company to dispose of it, and the advance team was under the command of Master Lu Dongming, that is, one of the two combat mages with more seniority.
This decision was made by Alli's temperament.
But Ai Liyun's reaction after listening to it was just a hum, indicating that she knew, and she didn't say anything, but Yan Qingruo gave a more detailed answer for Aliyun, asking Yang Zhenghua to do a good job of mobilizing for the battle, ready to meet the retaliatory counterattack of the Fire Tree Dynasty at any time, and at the same time send someone to send Li Ruiliu back to the company headquarters to report what happened in detail.
If Yang Zhenghua's understanding of Ai Liyun had happened, she would have made a decision to formally dismiss Li Ruiliu from his position at the first time, and then appoint a new commander of the advance team, and then talk about other things. But this kind of vague reply, and it was made by Yan Qingruo, inevitably made Yang Zhenghua a little confused. The key is that he has a ghost in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered so much to figure out Ariyun's intentions.
However, having achieved this step, it is not something that can be stopped without knowing the bottom of the heart.
Even if Yang Zhenghua wanted to stop, those battle mages below would not agree.
Although he has prestige, he has not yet reached the level of Cheng DΓΉ who has made the people below follow him unconditionally, if he really has that ability, he will not be in the Mage Association for so many years and still just a squad leader.
The only thing that could make this team of battle mages obey him was profit.
Why did everyone give up their iron jobs in the Mage Association and come to work in such a private company, isn't it just to make a fortune? Otherwise, who would have nothing to do and go to hell to suffer and suffer?
If you can lead us to get rich, we will recognize you as the leader, if you can't lead us to get rich, then the captain and manager have to say something else.
I have to say that Yong Bowen put together the entire team of battle mages who jumped to the company, which was actually a very big mistake, which was tantamount to giving them the opportunity to create a small hill together.
These battle mages have similar experiences, similar thoughts, and have worked together for many years, if they can't form a group in the face of common interests, then they are called ghosts.
Yang Zhenghua can also be said to be riding a tiger at the moment, and he is by no means able to get off if he wants to.
As a result, the original plan could only be carried out step by step.
Li Ruiliu was not immediately sent back to the pioneer city, but was first sent from the front line of the westward expansion to the location of the westward expansion headquarters -- a newly built highway town about 300 kilometers away from the ghost river, and only a day earlier, the westward expansion headquarters had set up a rear area about 3,000 kilometers away to facilitate the dispatch and command of the entire westward advance.
After being sent to the headquarters, Li Ruiliu was placed under house arrest. Yang Zhenghua didn't embarrass him, he ate and drank well, but he didn't let him go out, and he didn't let him get in touch with any news.
Li Ruiliu was panicked and remorseful at first, always feeling that he had messed things up. The company's senior management cultivates him quite clearly, he also has deep feelings, and has always been strict with himself and motivated, but he didn't expect to poke such a big leak at such a critical moment, and he can't help but feel sorry for the company, especially Yong Bowen's other eyes on him. When he graduated from the technical college, because of his excellent grades, he and three other students were received by Yong Bowen alone, and they were very encouraged. At that time, Li Ruiliu already felt that his future was bright. The next events proved this, and the company focused on developing the four of them in all aspects, and he was the one who improved the fastest. But now, it is a misstep that has become a thousand years of hatred.
It's a good thing to run fast, and you don't see it!
After getting over the initial panic, Li Ruiliu gradually calmed down and began to carefully recall what had happened. This careful pondering, but pondered a lot of things that were wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and then I suddenly realized that I was likely to be calculated. But it's useless to think of this. First, he has no evidence, and second, he is now in prison and has no chance to find evidence to prove his idea. Is it just like that? Li Ruiliu was unwilling.
After two or three days like this, the several battle mages who were in charge of guarding Li Ruiliu on this day -- due to Li Ruiliu's importance and identity, it was impossible for evil ghosts or natives to take care of them, and they could only be guarded by battle mages that Yang Zhenghua trusted -- all seemed a little excited and chatted with each other.
Li Ruiliu vaguely heard a few fragments, such as "hit", "great", "pity", etc., and couldn't help but ask: "What happened?" β
These battle mages don't like Li Ruiliu very well, and they don't usually talk to him much, and Li Ruiliu rarely takes the initiative to talk about himself, so he suddenly asked, which made these battle mages a little surprised.
One of them glanced at Li Ruiliu and said lazily: "What else can I do, I have a fight with the Fire Tree Dynasty in front." The other said: "If it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would have led the team to the front to rob him." This Fire Tree Dynasty is much richer than these demon kings here. Grab this ticket, and you probably don't have to worry about it in this life. β
