Chapter 140: It's Too Miserable
No matter how messy the people of the Silver Eagle Republic were, the battle ahead was gradually coming to an end.
Di Lin was exhausted at this time, and he could no longer maintain his transformation form, and dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, kept spurting blood, which was also thanks to his good physical fitness in the control realm, otherwise ordinary people would have died on the spot.
It was the ghost vine who caught and killed him, he took over the half-crippled guy halfway through, while Ye Wenqin jumped out of the battlefield, watching the battle situation inside for a long time on the periphery, and from time to time he sent out a spiritual spell to help his subordinates relieve the pressure.
"Why, why. β
Dearin was already in hysteria at this time, and the arrogant Imperial agent could not accept the revelation of his tracks, the failure of his mission, or even his imminent death.
But what if he didn't accept it, the screams of his subordinates before their defeat kept coming from his ears, and a sound pierced into his heart like a sharp blade, and he even envied Ildi for hanging up so early, so that he didn't have to be destroyed by these ridiculous masks and ruthless skeletons.
When the long whip of the Hylan vine finally slashed through Dillin's neck, the agent who was confident that he could become a supreme powerhouse and walked into the clouds of the empire finally said goodbye to the pain of these few minutes.
"Lord William.... β
These were his last words to the world.
As Dearing took his last breath, two entire teams of Astor elite field agents lay dead in the forests of the Federation.
"How's our play going?"
The nightingale, who had already been stained red with blood, came to Ye Wenqin's side at this time.
"Almost, just me and Simon's kid are going all out here, and everyone else is more or less retained. β
Ye Wenqin, who was watching and listening to all directions, was familiar with the entire battlefield information, except for the strength of the Astor people, which was a little worse than they imagined, the others were perfect.
"Just let their analysts analyze it slowly. They couldn't find much useful either. β
Unlike the blood on the nightingale's body, the ghost vine who had just leaned over to check Dilling's corpse was indeed clean all over his body, and even a little dust or something disappeared in the constant flickering of the sea blue vine, which made the nightingale envious.
Now that the Hartland Inspectorate can see the soul regression images of their agents before they die, as the developer of this technology, the Astor Military Intelligence Agency must have discovered the news that these spies have been wiped out by now, and has begun to interpret the intelligence.
So Ye Wenqin's plan at the beginning was to collect some fights.
Ye Wenqin is in order to solve the strongest one of the enemy as soon as possible and then carry out battlefield support, as for Simon, that kid is completely like a child with a new toy, Ye Wenqin is ready to go back and "take care" of this stunned young man, don't let him his pigtails.
Coupled with the extreme chaos they can create on the battlefield, this makes it more difficult for the Astor MIA to interpret intelligence.
"The captain said that they are really not that strong. β
Onitsu continued.
"I just thought about it, it's not that they're not strong, it's that we're too strong. β
Ye Wen said diligently, but the surrounding skeleton team members all felt that this was what it looked like.
"The two of you are leading the team to clean up the battlefield, their equipment and corpses are all put away, I think the two deans will be very interested. β
Ye Wenqin gave an order to the nightingale and the ghost vine, and then selected some team members who were still in good condition and turned around and walked towards the base.
In this battle, the skeleton brigade was not without injuries, but it was not heavy, so he, the captain, did not have to keep an eye on it here.
"How's it going, it's all settled?"
When Ye Wenqin and the others arrived at the gate of the manufacturing base, Wei Yuhang took the lead to greet them.
"Minister Wei, it's all settled, all the uniforms are dressed in colonial uniforms, it should be the group of people from the Astor Empire's military intelligence bureau mentioned in the Silver Eagle Republic's shared intelligence before. β
did a full set of acts, Wei Yuhang and Ye Wenqin acted here.
"What, the spies of the Astor Empire? How did they get here?"
Wei Yuhang pretended to be very surprised and asked.
"We are verifying, and Minister Zhuge has also received the news and is rushing here. β
Ye Wenqin pretended to be a little apprehensive and said.
"Seal off everything within a two-kilometer radius, and check who in the ministry has access to today's information."
Wei Yuhang turned his head and ordered to the adjutant beside him.
At this time, Caterina and her party also came here.
Wei Yuhang hurriedly apologized to her.
"Your Excellency President Katarina, I'm sorry for today's incident, and we will do our best to investigate this matter thoroughly. β
"You're too polite, Minister Wei. Maybe it's the leaked information from our side, Director Davis, please cooperate with your colleagues in the Federation to investigate this matter. Also, Lord Joker, it's a great fight, and you're very good. β
Caterina is very face-saving for the Federation, after all, when did the CIA cooperate with the intelligence services of other countries.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that I will fully cooperate. β
Davis also lowered his stature.
"Thank you for the compliment, it's our duty. β
Hearing Caterina's appreciation, Ye Wenqin hurriedly saluted and said politely.
"Captain Clown, are there twenty-eight people on the other side?"
Davis turned his head to Ye Wenqin and asked.
"Yes, there are twenty-eight in total, three Vajra Realms and one Control Realm, and all the others are Bone Forging Realms and Challenge Realms. All of them were killed on the spot. β
Ye Wenqin glanced at Wei Yuhang, then nodded and replied.
"The fact that there are two standard number of field teams, one more than in the intelligence we have previously reported, is significant. President, I think they're probably coming at us. β
Davis thought for a moment and spoke his judgment to Caterina.
This is also the purpose of Ye Wenqin and their choice of this time to lure the Astor people into taking the bait.
"Director, what's your reason?"
Although Caterina has her own judgment, it is still necessary to follow the advice of professionals in this regard.
"We are old rivals with the Asteres, their usual field missions are carried out by a small team, and the information we received before is that they have sent a small team to the allies in the south. Only when something new happens will the MIA personnel send reinforcements, and the only way to increase their manpower during this time is our visitor. β
Although Davis's words will be full of the arrogance of a foreign envoy, it is understandable to make such a judgment based on their previous experience. This is also one of Ye Wenqin's purposes. How could Davis, who lacked intelligence support, think that this extra team of people was Viscount William's private soldiers planted in the Military Intelligence Bureau, plus the recent Ildi and their letters were all the family's communication spirit tools brought by Dilling, maybe the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency headquarters did not know that Dilling and they had also arrived in the Federation.
"It's great that you think so. β
Ye Wenqin and Wei Yuhang looked at each other happily.
"Captain Clown, can you let my people take a look at the scene?"
Davis summoned two men from their own convoy, apparently CIA intelligence officers.
"No problem, Simon, take these two brothers over. β
Ye Wenqin said to Ximen who was standing aside.
"I saw that some of you used the Phantom Trace Technique, this should be someone from your Ximen family, right? β
Davis looked at Simon's back and complimented.
Ximen Qingming is the person that Ye Wenqin and Zhuge Wenxian are going to launch as the faΓ§ade of the skeleton brigade, and his unique body style is really no other semicolon, and the intelligence officers who know a little bit about the family of the Federation can recognize it at a glance.
"Yes, that kid is one of our best at mileage. β
Ye Wenqin's tone was full of appreciation, obviously very satisfied with Ximen's performance just now.
"Captain Clown, you have reservations, if you want to be one of the best, you have to be the captain. β
Caterina stepped forward and said, thinking of what Lilia had said about him before, she became more and more interested in this young man who had been in contact with him in recent years.
"You're gracious, Your Excellency. β
Ye Wenqin nodded again.
"Captain, Minister Zhuge is here. He was joined by His Excellency the President. β
The pilot on the airship in the sky contacted Ye Wenqin at this time.
"Okay, I got it. Ye Wenqin held on to the headset and said, then turned to Wei Yuhang and said, "Minister Wei, the president and Minister Zhuge will be here soon." β
"Mr. President, are you here too, let's wait for them here. You see, Lord Caterina. β
Wei Yuhang turned his head to look at Katarina, the highest status here.
"We'll wait here for Minister Zhuge to do so, anyway, it's still early. β
Caterina nodded.
With the arrival of Zhu Chenghua and Zhuge Wenxian, the two intelligence giants began to investigate the scene together, while Caterina and the others, accompanied by Zhu Chenghua, who had arrived here in person, continued to visit the airship manufacturing base.
When it was noon, and the process on both sides was almost over, everyone came to eat in the cafeteria of this base.
"You two, I wonder how you checked?"
Zhu Chenghua was obviously very concerned about this attempted "attack" that happened on his own territory, and began to ask as soon as he sat down.
"President Zhu, President Katarina, we carefully searched all the bodies and found some clues. These two teams of Astor agents did come to the Federation in batches, and the person from the King Kong Realm killed by Captain Clown was the captain of the first batch of people to come, and from him we found some information about Captain Clown and them, and another order to detect our mission, and it was another team of the second group that brought this order, and their leader was the last person who was killed with the Deep Sea Python Contract Beast. β
Zhuge Wen first informed everyone present of the information they had discovered, and Davis also added it on the side.
In fact, some of the information they found was true, such as the intelligence of the skeleton brigade, and some of it was stuffed into it by Ye Wenqin and them, and through monitoring, they had already figured out the characteristics of the intelligence recorded by these Asters, and successfully forged the order of the detection mission.
The two of you have recounted all the information you have found so far.
"So, their original mission was to scout the boys of the Skull Brigade, and then when they got the news that we were coming, they sent more men, and even said that when we left the Republic, they already knew where we were going, right? β
Caterina said.
"According to the information we have so far, we have probably found out where they were hiding before, and we have sent people to arrest them, and I believe that new news will come soon, and there should be some other information there. β
Zhuge Wen nodded first, and said to Katarina, according to their plan, they will strike at part of the network of the Astor people in the Federation, and then leave the two companies that have not contacted Yierdi and others this time, so as to continue fishing.
"In vain, we have spent a lot of time using all kinds of secrecy methods. Two, do these Astor orders tell us how our whereabouts were leaked?"
Caterina asked with an angry look on her face.
Zhuge Wen first looked at Davis, who was a little embarrassed, and gestured to him.
Davis had to bite the bullet and say,
"I think I got the news from within our republic, I have sent a letter to Director Turner. However, they should only know about the existence of the Mission, and obviously don't know anything about the composition of our personnel, otherwise it wouldn't be such a lineup. β
The Turner in Davis's mouth is his immediate boss, the director of the CIA, who has been in control of the CIA for nearly a decade.
"Well, hopefully Turner will give me good news when we get home. β
Caterina said solemnly.
"Your Excellency Katerina, I am confident that the intelligence agencies of our two countries will be able to do their job well. Since your existence is no longer a secret, do you need to keep your itinerary a secret?"
Zhu Chenghua said with a smile that from the standpoint of the Federation, he naturally wanted to make the existence of this mission public.
"President Zhu is right, since the Astor people already know that we are here, there is no point in keeping it secret. β
Caterina was a resolute person and decided not to hide herself anymore without much thought.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we can disclose President Katerina's presence for the sake of safety, but it is better to keep the rest of the trip secret. β
At this time, Ye Wenqin stood up and suggested.
He had just been praised by Zhu Chenghua and Katarina, and everyone nodded and agreed to his opinion.
In the evening of the same day, Zhu Chenghua and Caterina held a press conference at the presidential palace, announcing that the two countries would carry out a series of cooperation in the fields of politics, economy, national defense, science and technology, and people's livelihood.
On the same day, the two major conglomerates of Leiden Commercial and Marrington Construction, which became famous in Fengtian City, were both seized, and the official also announced that they were suspected of espionage and destabilizing the federal government.
On the same day, the Federal Ministry of Defense also released some information about the skeleton brigade, so that the citizens of the Federation and people around the world could thoroughly understand the unit that had recently completed the feat of rescuing the hostages.
For a while, the image of the entire federation became lofty in front of the people of all countries, and some people even compared the Chuck Federation with giants like Silver Eagle and Aster.
These are all things on the surface, and under the negotiating table, the Federation has successfully signed several large arms sales orders with the Republic.
More than 20 airships were sold at once, hundreds of heavy equipment such as combat vehicles, and more than 100,000 sets of individual equipment.
The special warfare airship used by the Skeleton Brigade today is also favored by the Republic, and the contract can be finalized only after the two sides agree on the price.
In addition, the two countries have signed countless agreements for the exchange of information and technology.
After seeing the actual combat exercises specially conducted by the skeleton brigade for them at a military base, such as hostage resolution, VIP protection, and infiltration behind enemy lines, the excited Caterina even invited Ye Wenqin to go to the Silver Eagle Republic at the right time for military exchanges.
Just as Caterina was about to end her visit, an even more powerful piece of information came that one of the four gods of the Astor Empire, the Dark God General Tanatos, was attacked on the way back to the Empire and was killed on the spot, and two Transcendents and dozens of attachΓ©s were also not spared in this attack.
The whole attack was very fast, accurate, and ruthless, and the scene was cleaned up very cleanly, and the Imperial Investigation Team searched for several days in the preview area, but still found nothing.
Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is very likely to be done by the people of the Silver Eagle Republic, but there is no evidence, and at the same time, the Astor Empire, which is not ready for war, can only swallow this bitter fruit silently.
This matter, naturally, was sent by the Republic, and as a thank you, they informed the Federation of the entire battle process as it was, after all, Thanatos's whereabouts were provided by the Federal Ministry of National Security.
"Oh my God, four to one, or a sneak attack, just like this, I almost let this Tanatos escape, I really deserve to be called a god general. β
Ye Wenqin looked at the battle record handed over by Zhuge Wenxian and said in surprise.
"How can the Supreme Realm be so easy to kill, if it weren't for the people of the Republic who made a lot of preliminary preparations, it would really be possible to let that guy run away. β
Zhuge Wenxian drank tea comfortably, and the Ministry of State Security has shone in the recent series of actions, which made his mood very happy.
"What kind of hurtful thing has this Tanatos done to make the people of the Republic so heavy. Those are four supremes who are about the same as Lilia, and they are not cabbage. β
Ye Wenqin was very surprised that the Republic had such a big foundation, and in his opinion, it was a great thing for two people to sneak attack at most.
"There is indeed a bit of a story here, it is said that the empire once sent four supremes to ambush the supreme of a republic, but that time it was in a hurry, so it was let people run away, and this time it is just the silver eagle republic retaliating back. β
Zhuge Wen knew some inside stories first, and of course they were all side news.
"William, I guess he's in pain and happy right now. β
Ye Wenqin remembered William's hatred for this Tanatos and gloated.
"No, our Viscount William is having a headache right now. β
Zhuge Wenxian laughed and said.
... I'm the dividing line...
As Zhuge Wenxian said, William has been in extreme pain and anger for the past few days.
The painful thing is that all the people sent to the Federation were killed, and even the two relatively independent spy networks were destroyed by the people of the Federation.
All those who died were his direct subordinates of William, the elite cultivated by the Carroll family at great expense.
Not only that, but these people were all registered with the Military Intelligence Agency, and the transfer of one of the teams had not yet been reported, which was a major blow to William, who was eager to return to the Military Intelligence Agency, and now not only did his former political enemies begin to fall into the ground, but even some of his allies were quite complaining about William's private actions, and even his father, Archduke Edward Camille, sent a harshly worded letter.
Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, it's poor William.
Just when he finally settled the situation, there was bad news that the old fellow in Thanatos had been attacked and killed.
Although William had long wanted this old guy to die quickly, at this juncture, countless people cast suspicious eyes on him, and even his henchman Alfonso Rodriguez quietly asked if he had leaked the news, because the viscount had moved this mind before.
"I repeat, I didn't say it, I definitely didn't say it, am I a fool. Yes, I really want to finish that old thing, but I also know it's not a good time. β
Still in the room filled with the smell of smoke, William buried his face in his hands and said in a hoarse voice.
The table in front of him was full of reprimands sent from various sources, including one written by the Emperor of the Astor Empire himself, and it was full of curse words, obviously the loss of a god general had caused the Emperor to fall into extreme anger.
And these angers are now concentrated on William, who has just been overshadowed by Tanatos and has lost a large number of descendants.
"My lord, even if I believe you, the adults of the empire just... β
Alfonso stopped talking, looking at the papers on the table, and the face of the always calm and calm Mr. Think-Tank was also full of worry.
"I've submitted a written appeal, and the adults will believe me, they will. β
William said hysterically, the high-ranking official of the empire who was full of spirit and arrogance a few months ago can now only hypnotize himself non-stop.
"Where's Hart, Hart's boy. Didn't they say that someone had already broken into the federal presidential palace? Then he must have the information that the empire needs, ready to car, quickly, quickly. I'm going to find him. β
William suddenly stood up and walked out of the house, completely oblivious to the fact that he had only returned from Hartland Palace less than two hours ago.
"My lord, it's useless, the only way to do this is to return to the empire directly and tell you about this matter, I think with the means of the Grand Duke, you will definitely be able to prove your innocence. β
Alonso immediately came to William's face, his voice trembling and persuasive.
