Chapter 45: The Great Defeat (13)

The basic construction of this settlement closest to the logistics base has been completed, and even the name has been chosen, which is called Xiangyang Town, which is quite an old-fashioned name.

The construction that is now underway is only some post-renovation work, so only two employees are left here with more than a hundred demons.

In order to prevent scattered natives from harassing them, Yang Zhenghua left them with 100 puppets and a small amount of ammunition.

The two employees felt that the forces of the Fire Tree Dynasty were able to break through to the logistics base settlement mainly due to surprise, and if they were to confront each other head-on, there would be no chance at all.

Naturally, their idea was not wrong, if Ishinuma still used the old method to carry out a surprise attack, even these more than 100 puppets would be enough to make them go back in disgrace.

However, the two employees did not know that Ishinuma had recruited demons. From the limited information, it can be seen that the Fire Tree Dynasty has adopted an extremely discriminatory policy towards evil spirits, and does not treat evil ghosts as equal intelligent beings at all, if there is a metaphor, it is about the feeling of human beings looking at pigs and dogs.

Therefore, after the two employees finished arming the more than 100 evil ghost puppets, they were still quite confident that they would be able to withstand the attack of this Fire Tree Dynasty force of unknown origin. They even have the leisure to joke, thinking that this god has opened his eyes, and sent credit to the two of them, and plans to capture a few hellish natives alive to be servants, and they have been in the westward development of the army for so long, and they have seen those battle mages catch natives and demons by a dozen or exchange points or stay for their own use, and these new employees are still quite hot-eyed, think about returning to the world, with two hellish minions with them, no matter which way they go, it is a matter of double face, and this value will not go up at once?

However, the optimistic duo did not see the attack of the natives of hell.

Ishinuma, who has sufficient ammunition, adopted the usual human style of play when the time was tight and the task was heavy, and the road ahead was unknown, and the long-range attack opened the way, and immediately opened fire when it was far away from Xiangyang Town, and only two waves of bombardment razed the entire Xiangyang Town to the ground. The two employees were not equipped with protective puppets like the battle mages, and they were blown to pieces in the first wave of attacks, but the more than 100 demons carried the attack because they were attached to the armor of the machine. However, it turns out that without the command of human mages, there are only evil ghost puppets left, even if it is hundreds of thousands. So when Iinuma rushed up with the team, the hundred or so demons surrendered just like their predecessors and turned around to become a member of the Fire Tree Empire's Crusade.

The employee who had escaped from the logistics base continued to follow the road towards the command center.

The settlement where the westward advance command center is located is actually very close to the front line, and it is directly the next stop in Xiangyang Town.

When Chen Qi's employee arrived at the settlement where the command center was located, Ishinuma was already less than ten kilometers away from the command center with a large army.

Chen Qi didn't know that Xiangyang Town hadn't even been able to hold out for ten minutes before it was razed. He also felt that Xiangyang Town would definitely be able to withstand the enemy's attack. He was just worried that there would be other Fire Tree Dynasty forces coming around from the wilderness to raid the command center. It's not impossible. Because of the discovery of the Fire Tree Dynasty, the commanders of the westward troops had grass growing in their hearts, and they did not clean up the nearby wilderness at all, and there were still quite a few indigenous settlements left near the sides of the ZĂ i Highway. In other words, all the company could control at this time was the highway and the settlements on the highway that were built for the westward advance.

When Chen Qi saw that the settlement where the command center was located was safe and sound, he was really relieved, and he didn't care about anything else, and plunged into the command center of the westward advancing troops, and then he was stunned by what he saw.

This command center, which is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of troops in the westward expansion and the company's entire westward expansion strategy, is actually empty!

Chen Qi is completely blinded!

What happened at the bottom of the day, how could there be no one in the command center, and who was directing this battle against the Fire Tree Dynasty?

If it weren't for the fact that before coming in, the streets were full of people and unusually quiet, Chen Qi would almost have wondered if it was the troops of the Fire Tree Dynasty who had brought the headquarters to the pot.

Chen Qi stayed for a while before coming back to his senses, turned his head and rushed out of the headquarters, and casually pulled a passing company employee on the street and asked, "What about the people in the headquarters?" ”

This employee is also the same as Chen Qi, he was sent later, and he can only do some construction work in general, although the command center is close at hand, he has never been in, and he can't help but be happy when he hears Chen Qi ask: "Of course it's in the headquarters." ”

Chen Qi was in a hurry and roared: "There is not even a ghost shadow in the headquarters!" ”

"Haha, there is no one in the command headquarters ......" The employee laughed twice, and also realized the severity of the matter, "How is it possible!" Throwing off Chen Qi and rushing into the command headquarters, he was also taken aback when he saw the empty scene, and when he turned around and ran out, he asked, "When did you find out?" Chen Qi hurriedly said: "I came back from the front line, there was an emergency, I went in just now!" How could there be no one? The employee scratched his head and said, "I don't know, you also know that those battle mages have their noses turned to the sky, looking down on us people, and they don't let us enter the headquarters." Chen Qi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Then who do I report to if I have an emergency?" The employee hesitated for a moment and said, "By the way, there is an investigation team here, which is said to represent the company and the Mage Association, why don't you talk to them?" Or contact Pioneer City directly and report to Manager Han? ”

"Let's get close to the nearest first, take me to the investigation team!" Chen Qi hesitated for a moment, and the idea of seeking stability prevailed, but he still didn't want to offend Yang Zhenghua and his people by skipping the level to report.

The employee hurriedly took Chen Qi to the investigation team's station.

Seeing that this so-called investigation team that could represent the company and the Mage Association was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, Chen Qi couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and guessed that this was probably a member of the Yin and Yang Soldier team of the company's boss Yong Bowen, so he didn't dare to despise it at the moment, and hurriedly asked who was in charge.

The Yin-Yang soldier girl who led the team heard that someone from the western front was coming, and there was an urgent military situation to report, she was quite stunned, and hurriedly came out, saw Chen Qi, and asked in the first sentence: "Why don't you report to the command center?" The answer was even more astonishing, "There is no one in the command!" ”

Not a single person in the command?!

The Yin Yang Soldier girl who led the team subconsciously repeated this sentence twice before coming back to her senses, and shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible, isn't Ye Gao in charge of commanding the front-line battle there?" ”

The employee who came over with Chen Qi slapped his leg and shouted: "Oh, I remembered, I saw Deputy Manager Ye a few hours ago, I hurried out with a straight face, and I didn't know what to do, I greeted him, but he ignored me!" ”
