Chapter 243 Military Intelligence
Although the adept’s performance was somewhat neurotic, Tie Zha could smell something unusual.
“Are you saying that the swarm of insects from the north is coming here?” Tie Zha asked.
The adept shook his head and pointed to the southeast. He wriggled his dry lips and said, “Then … Havelin … the castle …” As he spoke, he raised his hands and drew a very large circle. He continued to say, “Many … many bugs … and … the iron bull … the big red bug …”
Tie Zha’s eyes narrowed as he walked out of the tent. At this moment, Cast Fire Hammer and Suyu were waiting outside the tent. When they saw Tie Zha come out, they welcomed him. Tie Zha then told the first two what the adept had said. Hearing this, Cast Fire Hammer’s expression changed drastically. He walked into the tent in three steps and grabbed the adept’s hand nervously. He asked, “Great adept, are the swarm of insects coming to attack this place?”
The adept shook his head and said with difficulty, “It’s not here … it’s Havlin’s … castle …”
After a moment of silence, Cast Fire Hammer walked out of the tent and summoned a few Elda warriors. He said that there might be danger here and told them to send the adepts back to the great gathering place immediately. Not long after, the Elda Warriors brought a large pickup truck and helped the adept onto the truck. Then, they headed northeast. Although this adept was only the lowest ranked “flower-robed adept” among the people of Elda, he was still the Kui Treasure they cherished the most, and there was no room for any slip-ups.
After seeing the vehicle leave, Tie Zha bid farewell to the Cast Fire Hammer and prepared to head north to investigate the movements of the swarm of insects. Before leaving, Cast Fire Hammer held his hand and reminded him of the details of his contact with other Elda tribes.
The Erta people usually took the tribe as a unit, and the tribe leader’s attitude was the attitude of the entire tribe. Elda tribes like them who were willing to interact, trade, and get along well with outsiders were only a small minority of the tribe. Most of the tribes were filled with hostility towards outsiders, and some even treated Havlin as food. Therefore, they could not easily approach the unfamiliar tribes of Elda until they understood the situation. In addition, the range of the lightning spear was about a thousand meters. When approaching this range, one had to be extra careful of attacks from the sky.
Then, he introduced that Elda’s identity could be seen from the color of his skin. Copper and grayish brown were commoners, light blue was nobles, and purple was royalty. Normally, the royal family would speak Silver City’s common language, while the nobles only spoke part of it, while the commoners basically didn’t.
After saying this, Cast Fire Hammer gently patted Sa Jia Jia Jia’s shoulder and said, “Friend, I wish you a pleasant journey.”
After leaving the gathering place, Tie Zha rode on a red comet and sped north in the night.
The temperature in the Gobi Desert was extremely low in the middle of the night, and the cold wind caused clothes to be hunted. Half an hour later, Tie Zha was so cold that he stopped the car. He took out a thick military coat from the canvas bag at the side and put it on his body.
[Guild Leader, about fifty kilometers north, we’ll be out of range of the satellite signal] The girl’s mechanical synthesis came from the front speaker.
Hearing Alice’s prompt, Tie Zha took out his communicator and connected to Wang Hu’s voice, giving him a simple explanation of his whereabouts and purpose …
While Tie Zha was talking to Wang Hu, Edward Sorsch was sitting on the edge of the bed in his military dormitory on the second floor of the stronghold, wearing heavy second-generation psionic power armor. When he came back that day, he regretted it. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Now, it was on the verge of death, and he had no choice but to make a fortune. He knew that by betraying the military intelligence of Tyre Stronghold, he had become the rebellion of the human world. If he was discovered, not only would he be executed, even the Sossie family would be implicated, and within at least three generations, they would have to bear the infamy of a traitor.
However, he quickly blamed all of this on the “arrogant and arrogant Far East swindler who ignored the laws of Silver City and the dignity of the nobles, the murderer who plundered other people’s property, the lowly reptile …”
‘”This kind of person has no bottom line. He never values dignity, nor does he have any sense of honor. He can use all sorts of dirty tricks and schemes. That’s why he was able to use despicable means to deceive this position. This kind of insect that plays tricks, flatters and always wants to get something for nothing has always been like this, constantly exploiting all sorts of loopholes …”
“As a noble of Silver City, I have a heart of honor and disdain for using such a despicable method. That’s why I was overwhelmed by him. However, he was only lucky enough to successfully deceive a few women who had lost their minds …”
As he thought about it, his gaze became even colder.
“It won’t be long before people see his true colors and drag him down the street like a dog and beat him to death …”
“For the sake of justice in this world, for the sake of those who have been deceived, even if I join the darkness, I will still kill evil …”
“Let this kind of person exist in this world, its harm is far greater than a swarm of bees and ants. They will corrode fairness and justice from the inside …”
“The swarm of bees and ants are high-level intelligent creatures, and the ones who control them are the Saint-ranked human experts of the past …”
“Strictly speaking, they are a branch of humanity, a part of humanity …”
“If humans can unite with the swarm of bees and ants, they can become the overlord of the universe. However, many stupid humans cannot see through this …”
“Let me, Edward Sosi, be the pioneer of humanity …”
As he thought this, his low spirits were gradually replaced by self-confidence and pride. In his mind, he was already a hero who had saved mankind from suffering …
Three hours later, at 8 a.m. Silver City time and 3 a.m. Satt time, Edward received an email. After opening the email, there was nothing else inside. There was only one point in time.
When everything was clear, he regained his usual vigor. He stood up, shaved his beard, cleaned himself up, and went to the resting center on the third floor. After sitting down, he dialed the voices of the two young noble leaders and invited them up to chat.
Not long after, Nick Wagner and another young noble leader arrived at the resting center. When they saw Edward, they looked at each other and sat side by side across from him. In this slightly stiff little gesture they showed their attitude at the moment-keeping a proper distance from Edward Sossie.
“Friends, I have a reliable piece of information …” Edward leaned forward and asked in a low voice, “Are you interested?”
“What news?” Guild Leader Nick asked with a frown.
“Let me ask you, do you still want to live?” Edward’s face suddenly darkened and he asked meaningfully.
“You … What do you mean?” “What do you want to do?” The former was threatening, and Captain Nick and the other captain’s expressions changed greatly. They involuntarily glanced at each other.
“According to my guess, this place will soon be attacked by a swarm of bees and ants …” Edward slowly said.
“Edward Sossie, I think … we are still considered friends. Please respect us and yourself.” Guild Leader Nick frowned and said bluntly.
“It is because we are friends that I took such a huge risk to tell you this news. I cannot watch my friend die in ignorance.” Edward said sincerely. “The swarm has already moved here. They will attack at dawn. With the current strength of the stronghold, they will fall in a few hours.”
“Source.” Guild Leader Nick glanced at the other Guild Leader and asked with his hands crossed over his chest.
“An old classmate from the Wind Sand Castle Military Intelligence Department. I won’t tell you who he is. This is top secret information.” Edward explained.
“Since the Military Intelligence Department knows …” Another Guild Leader couldn’t help but ask.
“How can we guess about the big shots? Don’t tell me that Yoga Lombardi has no enemies? The stronghold had just changed its defenses, didn’t anyone want to take the opportunity to suppress the Temple Princess? “Although she is at the height of the sun and has the highest voice, she has not yet ascended to the throne. As long as it is not yet that moment, the heirs hidden in the shadows will spare no effort to find an opportunity to drag her down.”
“This” “Mm” “Hearing this, the two Guild Leaders nodded at the same time.
“I really don’t want to see these two friends become victims of a power struggle. If I’m not wrong, the situation in the stronghold will no longer be passed on.” Edward said.
‘”Impossible” Guild Leader Nick hesitated.
“Try it” Edward made a gesture of invitation. Before leaving the dormitory, he received a message from Old Shawn. According to the agreement, at this point in time, the satellite transmitters around Tyre Stronghold would crash at the same time, and all of them would fail.
Guild Leader Nick took out his phone doubtfully. He lit up the screen and looked at it. He was shocked because the satellite signal on the screen was zero.
‘”I believe that by the time Eva Green unilaterally discovers that the stronghold’s communications have been cut off, this place will already be filled with weeping flies. So, please think carefully. I will leave in ten hours. Good luck.” Edward stood up and said, then left the lounge, leaving behind two peeking nobles.
Half an hour after Edward left the lounge, Arnold, the captain of the sixth squad of the Princess Guard, noticed something amiss when he dialed his daughter’s voice communication. He immediately found Wang Hu and informed him of the situation. When the latter heard this news, he immediately remembered what Tie Zha had said about the movements of the swarm of bees and ants a few hours ago, and immediately reacted-something big was about to happen!
Immediately after, Wang Hu, on behalf of the interim leader, Sa Jia Qi, urgently gathered all the legion leaders to discuss countermeasures, and ordered the Tyre Stronghold to enter a state of war.
At the same time, Tie Zha, hundreds of kilometers away, was speeding north …
