Bleach Stronger by AFK Chapter 132: The struggle at the top
Latest URL: "I want an explanation."
Zhou Guanghuan looked around the conference table, his seemingly cloudy eyes flashing with a depressing cold light.
"A knight, plus eight gold-level extraordinary beings, set up an ambush in advance. Not only did the person they were protecting die, but the assassin also escaped calmly. No one has been caught yet. Can you tell me why?"
After 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 higher-ranking staff officer finally said bravely: "General, according to the description from Taiyang City, the enemy seems to have very good concealment capabilities, so... ..."
"So they can't catch anyone?" Zhou Guanghuan interrupted the staff officer unceremoniously and stared at him coldly, "This is the territory of the alliance. Even two assassins below the knight level can do whatever they want. Where do you want me to put my face? How do you want me to explain to the Cardin family?"
The speaking staff officer's expression froze and hesitantly said: "General, Mr. Andres said that the frontline war is tight and there are not enough manpower to pursue the assassins. He hopes that we will dispatch more extraordinary combat forces to reinforce..."
"Fucking **** reinforcements!"
Zhou Guanghuan slammed the table with a loud bang, and laughed angrily: "More than 50% of the high-end extraordinary combat power in the occupied area is concentrated in Taiyang City. With so many people, what does that guy Andres still want?" What? Do I have to risk my life to transfer the last golden combat power around me to him?"
"Tell that guy, three days! Just give him three days! If you still can't catch the assassin, let him explain to the Cardin family in person!"
Zhou Guanghuan almost roared his last words, which startled all the staff present. They all responded in unison and lowered their heads in silence.
After a long while, Zhou Guanghuan calmed down slightly and snorted with lingering anger.
These **** knights always look arrogant on weekdays, but they are of no use at critical moments.
It was obviously a sure-fire ambush, but not only did it fail, but Eman Cardin was assassinated. If the assassin could not be caught to quell the anger of the Cardin family, even he would have a huge headache.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Zhou Guanghuan raised his head and looked around, frowning and said, "Is there anything else?"
A staff officer at the bottom left immediately said: "General, Solitaire's people have been in the military camp for three days, and they want to see you."
Hearing this, Zhou Guanghuan showed a trace of disgust on his face without concealing it: "What do those rats in the ditch want to do?"
"They offered to help Qianyuan hunt down the assassins, saying they wanted to collect combat data for the two experimental subjects."
"Are those two people neither human nor ghosts?" Zhou Guanghuan frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then waved his hand, "In that case, send them to Taiyang City early tomorrow morning and let them communicate with Andres on their own. ."
The consultant who spoke quickly responded.
At this time, Moser suddenly said: "General, I think something is wrong. After all, Solitaire is a killer organization from the empire. It is not suitable to participate in our military operations and is not worthy of trust. Although I accept it now He has accepted our employment, but he might betray you at some point!"
Everyone at the scene paused for a moment, followed the sound, and realized that the person who made the sound was Moser.
Zhou Guanghuan waved his hand impatiently and gestured to the highest-ranking staff officer present.
"Toff, I leave it to you."
"Yes, General!"
The staff officers all stood up and saluted.
It wasn't until Zhou Guanghuan's back disappeared behind the door that Moser couldn't help but look at Tov and said in a panic: "Major Tov, did I say the wrong thing just now?"
Major Tov laughed and patted his shoulder: "It's okay. The general wants me to explain to you. You are a local officer and have just been promoted. You have only been with the general for a short time. So I don’t know a lot of confidential information.”
After a pause, Major Tov lowered his voice subconsciously, "Do you think Solitaire really assisted us for money?"
"Isn't it?" Moser was stunned.
"Of course not. How could a killer organization like Solitaire, which has a reputation all over the world, get involved in the war between the two countries for a little money? That is a taboo, not to mention that Solitaire is based in the empire's territory. Even if you want to help, you should always be on the side of the empire."
"What do you mean..." Moser seemed to understand.
Toff smiled meaningfully: "How do you think Solitaire got the information about Ye Song's assassination operation?"
Moser finally came to a realization. He was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "It seems that the empire is not peaceful either."
"This is the same in every country." Tov shrugged and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go and have some midnight snacks to fill our stomachs. Although you can't drink alcohol during the wartime ban, you can still eat some barbecue. ”
The two walked out of the conference room side by side.
Outside the light screen, Lin Lichuan slowly looked away and frowned deeply.
He never expected that the action information would be leaked to Qianyuan by Solitaire, or in other words, it would be leaked through it by the senior officials of the empire who stood behind Solitaire.
And he was unintentionally involved in the struggle among the top leaders of the empire.
No, maybe he was involved earlier. The reason why Qianyuan knew that he was Lin Zhenyi's nephew at that time was probably revealed by playing cards. The purpose was nothing more than to get rid of Lin Zhenyi and weaken him. Night song strength.
And the ultimate goal is equally obvious, there is no doubt that it is the White Crown Province.
The senior executive of the empire who stood behind the cards did not want to see the establishment and growth of the White Crown Province.
"A struggle at the top..."
Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed.
The struggle between the top leaders of the empire is reduced to the **** battles of countless little people. Although the strength of the gold level is no longer a pure chess piece, if you cannot reach the knight level in one day, it will not be considered as jumping out of the chessboard.
Since the high-ranking official in the empire can command the cards, he must know that his position and power must be very terrifying, far beyond what he can handle now.
Even so, he was not prepared to just knock out his teeth and swallow it.
Without thinking for too long, Lin Lichuan quickly made a calculation in his mind.
As long as the traitors within Yege can be uncovered, they will naturally be able to follow the clues to find out all the arrangements of the imperial high-level officials in Baiguan Province, and then destroy the opponent's overall plan against Baiguan Province, causing them to suffer a huge loss.
As for the further matters, the First Princess standing behind Ye Ge will naturally have to deal with them.
In a flash of thought, Lin Lichuan quickly made a decision and refocused his attention on the current action.
To find out the traitors within Yege, the key lies in Zhou Guanghuan. From the words of Tove and other staff, it is not difficult to guess that Zhou Guanghuan holds confidential information about the internal struggles and strife within the empire. There may be information in this regard.
As for the Solitaire, as a killer organization, Lin Lichuan didn't have too many expectations for getting information from them.
So after much thought, he finally decided to start with Zhou Guanghuan.
"Next, wait until he leaves the military camp, and then take action directly on the road."
Fortunately, as he had guessed before, there were not many high-end extraordinary combat forces left in Huangpo City. There was only one gold level. With the strength of him and Meng Xiaotong, the success rate of capturing Zhou Guanghuan was still Very big.
"Have you thought of a solution?"
Meng Xiaotong's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
But the girl looked up and saw a smile on Lin Lichuan's mind. She thought he had a plan of action in mind, so she quickly asked.
"Almost."
Lin Lichuan chuckled, nodded, and stated his thoughts.
After hearing this, Meng Xiaotong couldn't help but be stunned. She couldn't figure out how Lin Lichuan managed to find out so much confidential information just by going out for a walk.
However, she had long been accustomed to Lin Lichuan's vast magical powers. She was surprised for a while before she came back to her senses and said thoughtfully: "If there is only one gold level, then the possibility of success is indeed very high."
Meng Xiaotong's character already contained a lot of adventurous elements, and she agreed to Lin Lichuan's plan without much hesitation.
"It's just that if the plan fails, all the pursuers in Taiyang City will devote their attention here. At that time, we can only escape towards Liaogao City with all our strength." Lin Lichuan added in a solemn voice. .
Despite this, he didn't have too many worries deep down in his heart. At worst, he could exchange for a special nourishing and strengthening potion. As long as his 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.
After saying this, Lin Lichuan suddenly thought of something and asked Meng Xiaotong: "By the way, do you know who the big shot behind the cards is? Is there anyone to guess?"
Meng Xiaotong frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I can't be sure about this, but since it is directed at Highness Ai Lei, it is probably the other heirs to the throne who are behind it. As far as I know, within the empire, The only people who have the ability and motivation to do this are the two princes at the top of the succession."
Lin Lichuan nodded slightly and did not dwell too much on this. The most important thing at the moment was to catch Zhou Guanghuan.
Thinking about this, he returned his gaze to the surveillance screen and continued to stare at Moser.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Moser got Zhou Guanghuan's order to arrange a vehicle to deliver playing cards to Taiyang City, and Lin Lichuan also saw the experimental subject that Zhou Guanghuan said was neither human nor ghost.
They were two figures about two meters tall~IndoMTL.com~The whole body was almost completely covered in black robes, only the pale chin was exposed. When walking around, the robes would occasionally tighten against the body and outline the figure. Show some explosive muscle curves.
Even across the screen, you can still feel the ferocious beast-like aura emanating from them, which makes your heart tremble.
Besides the two experimental subjects, there were more than a dozen people busy moving the supplies. Many of them were wearing white coats, and the things they were carrying looked like some kind of precision instruments. .
Lin Lichuan looked around. It seemed that most of these people were just ordinary people. There were only one or two suspected extraordinary beings, but they were estimated to not be too strong. Only the two experimental subjects could not see Out of depth.
Not long after, the Solitaire people left the camp in a car, while Moser hurried back to the conference room.
Half an hour later, a heavily armed convoy drove out of the military camp.
In a military vehicle located in the heavily guarded center, Zhou Guanghuan sat in the back seat with his eyes closed and resting. Next, he was going to the Defense Department to hold a meeting to discuss the next course of action on the front line. Map of the Great Way of the Heavens
