Chapter 444
444 the night of the oscar
Ren Yi had only known that there was a secret passage leading to the Goria Grand Canal in the wind howl Castle, but he had never thought that there would be a tunnel leading to the Red Dragon carriage.
Ren Yi’s face was filled with shame. He lowered his head and said, ” “this is truly qianqian’s subordinate’s fault. i’ll have to trouble general to come out and formulate a strategy to deal with the aftermath.”
King against King, general against general, ” said link calmly without a change in expression. it’s obvious that the mechanical pioneers are making a move on Goria’s side. It’s only natural that I’m taking the blow myself. after a pause, he said,”alright, go and make the necessary arrangements. remember, don’t give the cat out of the bag when you make the call.”
” yes! ” ren yi straightened his back and saluted, ” i’ll definitely complete the mission! ”
No matter what, he was from shatko. If he couldn’t even disguise himself and control his emotions, wouldn’t his more than ten years of experience as a Special Agent be fed to the dogs?
An hour later, the two teams, one big and one small, were assembled.
The smaller teams brought a small amount of supplies to the front line. Before they left, Ren Yi called Captain li.
On the phone, Li Zijun expressed her helplessness about the two caravans being robbed. The location of the robbery was only three to four kilometers away from the Scarlet Dragon Dagger. In the dark night, she could see the distant gunfire, but Li Zijun was surrounded by the enemy and could not move. She could not help but watch as the Inhumans were completely annihilated and the supplies were taken away.
don’t worry, Captain li. This time, I’ve reminded the transport team to stay away from the route where they were ambushed. They’ll arrive at about two O ‘clock in the morning, so make sure to arrange for people to pick them up. ren yi’s words made li zijun feel a lot more at ease. after all, he was also a well-known spy and special agent in shatko. after encountering two failures, he had definitely thought of a solution.
alright, I’ll be waiting for good news at the front line! Li Zijun said with certainty.
Ren Yi hung up the phone and sat on the chair, letting out a breath of turbid air. He was like a deflated balloon.
He had already done everything he could, and the rest was up to heaven’s will.
whether or not it was as the general had guessed, that the mechanical pioneers had deciphered the content of his conversation with li zijun by capturing the communication radio signal, it would be verified in another hour.
Meanwhile, the remaining group followed link back to wind howl Castle.
The players were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. They could not believe that link was the one leading the team on this mission. All of them were filled with hope and their eyes were filled with desire. They all hoped to become the second Piao Rou, bombarding chicken, or Leng Feng who chased after the wind.
When they arrived at wind howl castle’s garden, the entrance to a four-meter-wide underground cave appeared in front of them.
“After you enter the cave, just follow these cobalt beetles and you’ll be able to reach the Vermillion Dragon Dagger. The underground cave is complicated, so don’t get left behind. It’s a small matter if you can’t get out, but if you go the wrong way and end up in enemy territory, I won’t be able to save you.” With that, link released the 100 cobalt beetles from the box.
The cobalt beetles lined up and entered the hole, feeling the aura left behind by their former companions, and went all the way to the Scarlet Dragon dhole.
Hundreds of players, armed with supplies and ammunition from the military intelligence Department, entered the cave one by one without pushing, shoving, shouting, or making a fuss. They followed the steps of the cobalt beetles with flashlights in their hands.
these late-night players all knew how precious it was to be able to carry out link’s personal mission.
Although the players usually spoke without thinking, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly when they saw link. They were afraid that their every move would anger him and lose their chance to “get promoted and make a fortune.”
the few guilds that had followed link had already made a lot of money. whether it was level, equipment, or progress, they were far ahead of the ordinary players. this lead would turn into wealth in the near future. Take the miracle Guild for example. Although it was one of the top ten guilds in China, only the wind Chaser, floating soft, had a place in the Hall of Fame. But now, he had taken all kinds of endorsements and advertisements, and it seemed that he was going to catch up with long Xing Tian.
It was only then that link realized how important influence was.
If it was when he was not famous, this group of players would definitely not listen to his orders obediently. They would definitely come up to him and say some obscenities to see if they could trigger some plot or mission.
Players entered the underground cave and began the quest under the leadership of the cobalt beetles.
Link returned to his office and waited for the call from the military intelligence Department.
thump, thump, thump ~”
The macaw opened the office door and asked,” you were invited to the underground Research Center this afternoon. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I made you some supper.
The macaw placed the meat porridge on the table, but its black and round eyes were darting around, trying to analyze what had happened from the clues on the table. however, there were no documents on the table. there was only a sound bug lazily lying on the table, which was very conspicuous.
Link ate two mouthfuls of porridge and his stomach felt better.
He had seen all of the macaw’s little tricks and couldn’t help but say,””there’s no need to look for him. i’m waiting for a call.”
“A phone call?”
Link looked at the time. It had been almost an hour since the players who were transporting the supplies left the military intelligence Department. He believed that there would be news soon. As long as the players were ambushed by the machinery faith again, he would be 100% sure that the mechanical pioneers had intercepted and eavesdropped on the phone line.
yes, we’re waiting for a call that will affect the entire Desert War.
Ding Ling Ling ~
Just as link finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. It was the military intelligence Department.
Link pressed the speaker button, and an urgent voice came from the other end.”General, the supply team we sent out has encountered another obstruction,”
Ren Yi’s tone was low, and one could imagine his bitter face just from his voice.
Link pondered for a moment. three supply troops have been defeated on their way to the front line. It seems that the enemy has increased the number of patrols in the desert. Let’s call it a day. I hope the front line can hold on for a while longer.
Ren Yi sighed. it seems like that’s the only way. I’ll talk to Captain li later. I hope they can hold on.
The macaw at the side couldn’t take it when it heard this. Its voice suddenly raised three octaves and loudly questioned, ” “What? The supply troops of the military intelligence Department were eaten up by the machinery faith three times in a row?”
The macaw covered its head with its wings, its words filled with disbelief. It couldn’t understand how the powerful Army of Shandu, which had been suppressing the machinery faith and the wasteland gang, had become like this overnight.
“Where are the wild wolves and the Army of Shandu? send an army to protect them?” The macaw was filled with confusion.
Link moved forward slightly and said into the phone, ” “Alright, that’s all for now. We’ll contact each other later.”
Link’s lips curled into a smile after he hung up.
The macaw flapped its wings in front of him. have you gone crazy from the shock? how can you still laugh in such a situation? ”
Link was in awe of his own wit. It was a wise decision to leave the macaw here when the phone rang. Its emotional outburst made the whole thing seem even more realistic. Even Dr. Zhao, the pioneer of machinery, couldn’t analyze any suspicious points from the series of questions and emotions it had just asked.
“Ole gold, you did well just now!” Link praised sincerely.
The macaw sat on the chair and blinked its small eyes.”It’s over, it’s over. It looks like he’s really stupid now, Yingluo.”
Since the supply team had been ambushed, the players who had gone to the Scarlet Dragon Dagger from the underground cave should be arriving soon.
Just as link was deep in thought and the macaw was busy adding drama to itself, the voice transmission bug on the table suddenly emerged from the snail shell. Its two antennae rose high like a signal on a router.”Master, there is a signal. Do you want to answer?”
link then put the sound bug into his ear.
“Hello? General, I’m Li Zijun. Can you hear me?” li zijun was also wearing a sound transmission bug. it was her first time using this thing and she was very curious as to whether it could be connected.
“I’m link. I can hear you.”
Li Zijun heaved a long sigh of relief and replied, ” “All the supplies have been received. We have plenty of weapons, ammunition, and daily necessities, enough for the front line to last for a few days. He didn’t expect the general to have dug a tunnel under the Scarlet Dragon Dagger, which greatly alleviated the crisis. I also saw the cobalt ore under the Red Dragon Ridge. General, please rest assured that I will defend this place until the end of the mission!”
“Old Li, don’t you think it’s strange? The three transport teams that we sent out were intercepted by the enemy and there’s a problem.”
How could Li Zijun not have noticed it? now that link asked, she could only answer, actually, I already noticed it the second time. However, the matter of a traitor is no small matter. Without concrete evidence, it will only cause our own people to be suspicious of each other, so I didn’t make it public.
it’s fine. The last two supply teams are nonhuman teams I’ve arranged, and they’re mostly carrying food. The small amount of ammunition is also incompatible with the zealots, so they can’t use it even if they get it. The conclusion of Ren Yi and I’s investigation is that the special signal of the Red Dragon Dagger troops you’re in has been deciphered and monitored by the enemy. Even all the radio equipment at the front line of weeping Valley has been deciphered and monitored by the machinery faith. As long as we use this network to send a signal, we will be captured by the enemy.”
this … Li Zijun had thought that a spy had infiltrated the military intelligence Department. She had never expected such an answer. had the technology of the machinery faith developed to the point where they could capture and analyze radio signals?
It was terrifying!
then from tomorrow onwards, I’ll have the liaison give up on traditional communication devices and use this sound bug to report the situation at the front line.
“No! Not only did you have to use it, you had to use it frequently to create an illusion that you couldn’t hold on for long. Since the enemy thinks that they have our communication system in their grasp, we naturally have to put on a good show and beat them at their own game. My plan is to beat them.
When this battle is over, I’ll be promoted to the Chief of Staff of the Shandu Army with such an achievement. No one can say no. ”
Li Zijun’s arms trembled slightly, and even her breathing became rapid.
He had emerged from the war between the freedom Federation and the machinery faith 20 years ago and had been trained by commander Munn to lead the Fox hunting Special Forces. Throughout his entire military career, Li Zijun had never experienced such a battle before. if link’s plan succeeded, it would be equivalent to crippling the machinery faith and the wasteland gang. they would be able to kill pigs and cut meat to celebrate the next spring.
“General, please rest assured. I will definitely follow the plan. If I fail, I will bring my head to see you!” Li Zijun was so excited that she even issued a Military Order.
then I’ll leave the Scarlet Dragon Dagger to you for the next few days. How much the enemy can pay for this wave will all depend on your and Ren Yi’s performance.
Link plucked the sound-transmitting bug, and the little thing crawled out of the snail shell. It wriggled to a flower pot at the side and started munching on the leaves.
Link smirked. Without the sound bugs, they could only use the hole to make an issue out of it. It obviously wouldn’t work.
The sound bug was an encrypted communication mode and a mental link mode. Both methods of communication were extremely reliable. With the technology available on wasteland planet version 1.0, there was almost no risk of being cracked. Only in version 2.0 when they came into contact with the alien demonic race and the star system civilization would their technology improve.
When link raised his head again, he saw the macaw with its wings stuck in its chest. It pouted and frowned at link.”Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
“Didn’t li Zijun and I make it clear with the sound bugs?” asked link, stunned.
The macaw flapped its wings. I understand all of that. But you want to use the ‘Empty Fort Strategy’ to lure the main force of the desert cult to attack weeping Valley, and then send a large number of troops to the front line to pretend to be reinforcements. This is very good. But the key was whether weeping Valley could defend against the enemy’s large-scale firepower. If they were the main force, they definitely wouldn’t have sent a few toy cars like last time. When the time comes, long-range firepower, missiles, rocket launchers, and various other things will come in handy. With the firepower of the divine Tree Noxi and the Air Force units, they can’t defend at all!”
Link kept the macaw in suspense and patted its chubby shoulder.”Don’t worry, there’s always a way out.”
Lin Ke smiled as he returned to his bedroom, leaving the dumbfounded macaw behind.
“Damn, you didn’t tell me! “However, I don’t believe that there won’t be any traces left behind. Since I want to improve myself, I’ll start by gathering information.” The macaw encouraged itself and was prepared to go all out. It looked at the time and saw that it was already three in the morning. It immediately yawned.”Forget it, I’ll do it in the day!”
The mechanical pioneer once again captured two phone calls. After deciphering the contents, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He pressed the button to contact the elder of the steel Council and said, ” make the arrangements. Stop tomorrow’s ambush for half a day. Have the enemy transport supplies to the Scarlet Dragon Dagger.
The mechanical pioneers were also playing tricks.
if they kept intercepting, the enemy would soon suspect that there was a problem with the communication network.
It would be better to temporarily stop for a day and let the other party be careless.
This time, the mechanical Pioneer’s eyes were no longer focused on the Scarlet Dragon Dagger, but on the larger weeping Valley.
He wanted to use the Scarlet Dragon Dagger as bait to draw out the main force of Shandu!
