Chapter 15: A Double Conspiracy
On the third day of the capture of Haydem, Xiao Wanlong's forces withdrew from the city. However, his men did not go far, and after a short and rapid march, he ordered his troops to temporarily hide in the dense forest where they had arrived.
It is said to be a dense forest, but in fact the area is not large. But it runs across an open field. Directly in front of this natural forest belt is the city of Haydem, and behind it is an endless plain.
Xiao Wanlong scattered the main force and hid in every corner of the forest. He himself ran to the open plain with Lakshin's Praetorian Guard.
There's a reason he's doing this, it's called luring the enemy deeper! Xiao Wanlong believed that the reinforcements of the Republic would soon arrive in Haidem, and if the team had not left the city by then, he would probably become a turtle in an urn. He wanted to turn this passivity into initiative, so he chose to abandon the city. But this was only a temporary expedient measure, and he was confident that it would not be long before the big granary would be back in his hands.
For this purpose, Xiao Wanlong was completely prepared. Before leaving the city, he took two things. The first is tons of grain. The second is all the public servants in the city. When it comes to taking food, most people understand what is going on. After all, this group of people is here for this thing, but it is more difficult to understand the abduction of civil servants. Why did this marshal take these people with him? Is it to kill them and avenge the unjust death of their people? Apparently not so, he was not so stupid as to make three chapters of the law with the inhabitants of the city on the front foot, and then he went on a killing spree on the back foot. Such a treacherous thing that affects the war, Xiao Wanlong said that he would not do anything.
If this is the case, then he should have another purpose for robbing a group of people. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's very simple, he wants to take advantage of these people! As for how to use it, it will have to wait for the Republic's reinforcements to arrive. As for him daring to wander around the plains, to put it bluntly, he is also waiting for reinforcements, this is his two-pronged strategy.
Everything is ready and waiting for the show to unfold.
Sure enough, on the night of the team's withdrawal from Haydem. The soldiers who were hiding in the dense forest heard strange noises. With the sound, they could faintly see a crimson fire appear in the sky above Hydem.
"Hurry up and inform the marshal!" One-eyed Zhang ordered.
After a while, Xiao Wanlong arrived with his men.
One-eyed pointed to the sky not far away and said, "Look, what was then?" ”
Xiao Wanlong took out the telescope and observed it for a while before putting it down, he handed the telescope in his hand to Mo Beitian beside him: "Look at what this is, I think you should be familiar with it." ”
Mo Zhitian took the telescope and looked at the flame. Within a second he said, "Hoverplane!" ”
"Oh?" Xiao Wanlong muttered such a word noncommittally.
"You can't go wrong, it's the suspension. It is a very common low-altitude vehicle in the republic. It uses a maglev jishu to achieve low-altitude flight, and its passenger capacity is very large and it is particularly safe. I've been on this suspension machine twice and I'm very impressed with it. Mo Yantian explained to himself, and he didn't hear Xiao Wanlong's voice just now.
"A lot of passengers? How big can it be? Xiao Wanlong asked.
"If it's fully loaded, it can hold one or two thousand people." Mo replied.
Wang Zumao, who was standing on the side, was immediately happy when he heard this: "There are only one or two thousand people." That's how many reinforcements the republic has? Hehe, it seems that you are too worried. Please let me take my Camp of Divine Might. I'll kill him without a piece of armor left! ”
"General Wang, don't forget that these guys have guns. Their weapons don't know how many times more advanced than us, and at this time, the operation will only kill the soldiers, and I don't do such a thing! Xiao Wanlong said.
Wang Zumao scratched his head and asked, "Dashuai, what do you mean?" ”
"Wait and see. I'm sure it won't be long before the city is lively. Xiao Wanlong replied with a sly expression.
Just when the generals of the original village were discussing the reinforcements of the republic, the suspension plane had landed safely in the city square.
A few people came out of the plane. They were all in suits and leather shoes. He wears a large "S" badge on his chest. The man at the head had a pair of glasses on his nose and looked polite. He is Li Haowen, the current Minister of the Seventh Department.
This time, he came to Haydem with the orders of the Grand Commander, in order to exterminate the terrorists in the original village. The entire suspension plane was full of elite agents of the Seventh Department, and in order to show his strength, Li Haowen almost went out of his nest.
"Go! Call their city stewards! Li Haowen said to his subordinates.
"Isn't that right? We're a secret organization, so we're going to connect with other departments, I'm afraid it's ......."
Li Haowen glared at the subordinates beside him: "When do you still care about this?" The safety of the republic is at stake. Other trivial matters will be discussed until this group of rebellious terrorists has been eliminated. ”
"Yes! Subordinates will do it! His agents gave him a deep salute and turned away with a few of the other agents.
After a while, these people hurriedly ran back: "Oh no, something is wrong!" ”
"What's going on? You speak slowly. Li Haowen asked.
"In the city, all the stewards in the city are gone! Only the common people remained. Government buildings... Government buildings are empty! One of the agents replied breathlessly.
"What? Damn it, the laser weapons we brought with us must be connected to the city's energy center before they can be used. How much work would it take to complete the assembly without the help of local civil servants? What if the terrorists come at this time? We ......"
"Report! A large number of unknown weapons were found in the open field outside the city, most likely terrorists! Before Li Haowen could finish his words, he was interrupted by another agent who had just run over.
Li Haowen couldn't believe his ears: "This can't be!" The informant is not saying that they have evacuated the city. How can there still be troops outside? Come on, come with me! ”
As he spoke, Li Haowen pulled out a gun from his waist and took hundreds of agents to the lookout in Hydem. He looked through the telescope on the lookout, and sure enough, it was all people. These soldiers, all dressed in ancient armor and armed with spears and broadswords, set off towards the city with murderous faces.
"It's disgusting! Turn up the machine gun! Let's give a little color to this group of terrorists who are trying to subvert the Republic! Li Haowen shouted angrily.
Where did the agents below dare to slack off, they immediately ran to the suspension machine as soon as they received the order.
Li Haowen turned his head and took off his glasses to wipe the sweat from his forehead. In the eyes of outsiders, this minister who has just taken office must be anxious, right? But that's not the case, just when Li Haowen wiped his sweat, this cunning guy couldn't stop thinking in his heart: Finally... Finally the day has arrived! Xiao Wanlong, Xiao Wanlong, you never dreamed that the information I deliberately released was fake. You're pretending to be clever and scheming. Hum... When you actually fight the Republic, you'll know what it's like to be in hell! But that's not all, it's just your first step in becoming that adult's puppet, and your nightmare is just beginning...
