Chapter 132: The struggle at the top
"I want an explanation. β
Zhou Guanghuan looked around the conference table, and his seemingly cloudy eyes flashed with an oppressive cold light.
"A knight, plus eight gold-level transcendents, set up an ambush in advance, and as a result, not only did the protected object die, but the assassin also calmly escaped, and still can't catch anyone, can you tell me why?"
As the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the conference room, and the atmosphere was frighteningly heavy.
Under Zhou Guanghuan's aggressive gaze, a staff officer with a higher rank finally spoke up: "General, according to the description of Taiyang City, the enemy seems to have a very good ability to conceal, so ......"
"So they can't catch anyone?" Zhou Guanghuan unceremoniously interrupted the staff officer's words and stared at him coldly, "This is the territory of the Alliance, and even two assassins with less than knight rank can do whatever they want, where do you want my face to go? How do you want me to explain to the Cardin family?"
The staff officer who spoke stiffened, and hesitated: "General, Lord AndrΓ©s said that the front line is tight, and there are not enough people to hunt down the assassins, and he hopes that we will send more extraordinary combat forces to reinforce ......"
"Fuck the fuck reinforcements!"
Zhou Guanghuan slapped the table with a loud bang, and said with a rhetorical smile: "More than fifty percent of the high-end extraordinary combat power that occupies the territory is concentrated in Taiyang City, with so many people, what does that guy Andres want?
"Tell that guy three days! Give him three days! If he still can't catch the assassin, let him explain it to the Cardin family himself!"
Zhou Guanghuan's last sentence almost roared angrily, and the staff officers present were all startled, and they were busy in unison, and lowered their heads in silence.
After a long time, Zhou Guanghuan calmed down a little, and snorted coldly with residual anger.
These damn knights, who always look arrogant on weekdays, are really useless at critical moments.
It was a sure ambush, but not only did it fail, but even Emman Cardin was assassinated, and if he couldn't catch the assassin to appease the anger of the Cardin family, even he would have a headache.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, Zhou Guanghuan raised his head and looked around, frowning, "Is there anything else?"
A staff officer at the bottom left immediately spoke up: "General, the card man has been in the barracks for three days, and they want to see you." β
Hearing this, Zhou Guanghuan showed an undisguised trace of disgust on his face: "What do those rats in the gutter want to do?"
"They offered to assist Senin in hunting down the Assassins, saying that it was to collect combat data for the two test subjects. β
"Aren't those two people ghosts? Zhou Guanghuan frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then waved his hand, "In this case, send them to Taiyang City early tomorrow morning, and let them communicate with Andres by themselves." β
The staff officer who spoke hurriedly responded.
At this time, Moser suddenly said: "General, I think something is wrong, after all, Solitaire is a killer organization from the Empire, and it is not suitable to participate in our military operations, and it is not trustworthy, although he accepts our employment now, he may betray it at any time!"
Everyone present paused slightly, followed the reputation, and saw that the person who spoke was Moser, so they were slightly surprised.
Zhou Guanghuan waved his hand impatiently and made a gesture to the highest-ranking staff officer present.
"Tove, I'll leave it to you. β
"Yes, General!"
The staff officers stood up and saluted in unison.
It wasn't until Zhou Guanghuan's back disappeared behind the door that Moser couldn't help but look at Tove, and said in a bit of a panic: "Major Tof, did I say the wrong thing just now?"
Major Tov laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, the general means let me explain to you, you are a local officer, and you have just been promoted, and the time with the general is still short, so I don't know a lot of confidential information." β
After a pause, Major Tove subconsciously lowered his voice, "Do you think Solitaire really helped us for money?"
"Isn't it?" Moser froze.
"Of course not, how can a killer organization like Solitaire, which is famous all over the country, get involved in the war between the two countries because of a little money, that is a big taboo, not to mention that the foundation of Solitaire is on the territory of the Empire, even if you want to help, you should be on the side of the Empire. β
"What do you mean......" Moser vaguely seemed to understand.
Tove smiled meaningfully, "How do you think Solitaire got the information about Nightsong's assassination?"
Moser finally came to his senses, was silent for a few seconds, and sighed with emotion: "It seems that the empire is not calm either. β
"It's the same in every country. Tove shrugged and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go have some supper to fill your stomach, although you can't drink alcohol during the wartime, you can still have some barbecue." β
The two walked out of the conference room side by side.
Outside the light screen, Lin Lichuan slowly retracted his gaze, his brows furrowed deeply.
He never thought that the operational information was leaked to the Senin by the card, or rather, it was leaked through it by the top echelons of the empire standing behind the card.
And he was inadvertently involved in the struggle of the upper echelons of the empire.
No, maybe it was involved earlier, the reason why Qianyuan knew that he was Lin Zhenyi's nephew at that time was probably revealed by cards, and the purpose was nothing more than to get rid of Lin Zhenyi, so as to weaken Yege's strength.
And the ultimate goal is equally obvious, and there is no doubt that it is the White Crown Province.
The high-ranking Empire who stood behind the cards did not want to see the establishment and growth of the White Crown Province.
"Is the struggle at the top ......?"
Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed.
The struggle between the top echelons of the empire is a bloody fight of countless little people, although the strength of the golden rank is no longer a pure chess piece, but it can't reach the knight level in one day, and it can't be regarded as jumping out of the chessboard after all.
Since that high-ranking member of the empire can command the cards, he also knows that his status and power must be very terrifying, and it is far from what he can deal with now.
Even so, he wasn't going to just knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
didn't think about it for too long, Lin Lichuan quickly had a plan in his heart.
As long as you can find out the traitors inside Yege, you will naturally be able to find out all the arrangements of the imperial high-level in the White Crown Province, and then destroy the other party's overall plan against the White Crown Province, making it suffer a big loss.
As for the later things, naturally the first princess standing behind the night song will deal with it.
In a flash, Lin Lichuan quickly made a decision and refocused his mind on the current action.
If you want to find out the traitors inside Yege, the key still has to fall on Zhou Guanghuan, from the words of Tofu and other staff officers, it is not difficult to guess that Zhou Guanghuan has confidential information about the internal struggle of the empire, including this information.
As for Solitaire, as a killer organization, Lin Lichuan didn't expect much to get information from them.
So after thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to start with Zhou Guanghuan.
"Then just wait for him to leave the barracks, and then go straight to the road. β
Fortunately, as he had guessed before, there were not many high-end extraordinary combat forces left in Huangpo City, only one golden rank, and with the strength of him and Meng Xiaotong, the success rate of capturing Zhou Guanghuan was still extremely high.
"Have you figured it out?"
Meng Xiaotong's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
But the girl looked up and saw Lin Lichuan showing a smile in his contemplation, thinking that he had the next plan of action in his heart, so she hurriedly asked.
"Almost. β
Lin Lichuan chuckled and said his thoughts.
Hearing this, Meng Xiaotong couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't figure out how Lin Lichuan could find out so much confidential information just by going out for a walk.
However, she had long been accustomed to Lin Lichuan's vast supernatural powers, and she came back to her senses after being taken aback for a while, and said with a deep face: "If there is only one golden level, then the possibility of success is indeed very high. β
Meng Xiaotong's character already contained a lot of risk-taking factors, and he agreed to Lin Lichuan's plan with little hesitation.
"It's just that in this way, if the plan fails, the pursuers in Taiyang City will all focus on this side, and then we can only flee towards Liaogao City with all our strength. Lin Lichuan added in a condensed voice.
Even so, he didn't have too much to worry about in his heart, it was a big deal to exchange the special nourishing and strengthening elixir at that time, as long as the spiritual pressure consumption could keep up, he would be able to reach Liaogao City in less than two days.
By the time the people from Qianyuan caught up, they had already run back to Baiguan Province.
When the words fell, Lin Lichuan suddenly thought of something, and asked Meng Xiaotong: "By the way, do you know who the big man behind the card is?
Meng Xiaotong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I can't be sure of this, but since it is aimed at His Royal Highness Ai Lei, it is likely that other heirs to the throne are behind their backs, as far as I know, the only people in the empire who have the ability and motivation to do so are the two princes who inherit the throne first." β
Lin Lichuan bowed slightly, and he didn't dwell too much on this, the most important thing at the moment was to catch Zhou Guanghuan.
With that in mind, he returned his gaze to the surveillance screen and continued to stare at Mosser.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Moser got Zhou Guanghuan's order to arrange for the person who delivered the cards to Taiyang City, and Lin Lichuan also saw the experimental subject that Zhou Guanghuan said was neither human nor ghost.
It was two figures that were more than two meters tall, almost completely shrouded in black robes, revealing only their pale chins, which occasionally tightened against their bodies as they walked, outlining some of the explosive muscle curves.
Even through the screen, you can still feel the ferocious aura like a beast emanating from their bodies, which makes people's hearts flutter.
Beside the two subjects, there were more than a dozen people who were busy carrying the materials, many of them wearing white coats, and the things they were carrying looked like some kind of precision instruments.
Lin Lichuan observed a circle, it seemed that most of these people were just ordinary people, and there were only one or two suspected transcendents, but it was estimated that the strength would not be too strong, but the two experimental subjects could not see the depth.
It wasn't long before the card man left the camp in a car, while Moser hurried back to the conference room.
Half an hour later, a heavily armed convoy pulled out of the barracks.
In the military vehicle in the center of the heavy guard, Zhou Guanghuan sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, and then he was going to the defense department for a meeting to discuss the next course of action at the front. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
