After bombarding the Red Scorpion squad, Tie Zha and Hagrid came to the tent as temporary headquarters and saw the Black Pig King, Tie Ling, Lilith, Quinn, and the others.

“Boss” Seeing Tie Zha enter, the Black Pig King was pulled to the side by Hagrid just as he was about to greet him.

“From now on, his identity must be kept strictly confidential.” Hagrid whispered as he looked at the other three.

“Understood.” “Yes.” “I see.” Quinn, Tie Ling, and Lilith nodded in agreement.

Next, they sat down and chatted for a while before receiving a video message from the Red Scorpion Corps. On the screen, a burly man with a beard smashed the table angrily and asked sternly, “Are you attacking our patrol? Are you planning to start a war?”

“Your patrol?” Hagrid asked blankly.

“Are you pretending to be stupid? Half an hour ago, you shelled our patrol, killing 29 members and damaging nine Viper Sandtrucks.” The bearded man blushed and suppressed his anger.

“We did defeat a group of sand bandits who broke into our jurisdiction just now, but has this got anything to do with you?” Hagrid asked.

“That’s a Red Scorpion patrol!” The bearded man roared.

“Please calm down, friend. Are you sure that’s your patrol?” Hagrid continued to ask.

“Absolutely true!” The bearded man heavily hammered down the table and said loudly.

“Since you claim that those bandits are your patrols, please explain why they intruded into our military jurisdiction?” Hagrid asked doubtfully.

“They didn’t barge in!” The bearded man shouted angrily.

Hagrid paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, “We have not received their request for entry, nor have we sent out any signal for an invitation. If there is, please provide evidence. Otherwise, we will treat it as a hostile slander. If necessary, we will not hesitate to fight!”

“You!” The corner of Big Beard’s mouth twitched, and the threat he was about to blurt out was forcefully stuck in his throat. He did not expect that Cyrus Investment Co., Ltd., which had been retreating, would suddenly become so powerful. Not only did it take the initiative to attack their patrols, it also proposed to start a war. He was only the person in charge of the 2nd regiment of the Red Scorpion Corps. If the conflict continued to expand, he would have to consult his superiors.

After pondering for a while, Big Beard narrowed his eyes and slowly said, “You guys are not courting death? How strong can your hundreds of mobs be? Can they contend against our large mercenary corps with decades of history?”

“We are obedient and peace-loving. We only want to earn a little money and do not want to conflict with anyone.” Hagrid said with a smile, then his eyes narrowed. “But if someone provokes us on their own initiative, we don’t mind letting them know how thankless they are.”

“Since you don’t know whether to die or not, then you should be prepared to welcome the anger of the Red Scorpion!” The bearded man opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily. Then, he punched the console and roughly cut off the communication.

“It’s time to teach them a lesson.” Looking at the pitch black screen, Tie Zha said. Then he had Hagrid bring him an old van and two sandfish, and covered the motorcycle with canvas and hid it in the compartment; He also called the Black Pig King and Lilith, dressed as ordinary bounty warriors, and headed towards the Red Scorpion’s stronghold.

“Bounty Warriors” is a profession unique to Desert Five, and is fundamentally different from those “bounty hunters” who capture criminals. Their appearance was closely related to the environment of Desert Five, as well as the way bee ants and humans lived in Elda.

Desert Five was rich in groundwater, but there was no ocean. It rarely rained a few times a year, so the vegetation was very sparse and scattered. In order to feed a large number of regular troops, the swarm of bee ants could only adopt a “grazing” mode of survival. On the surface, they occupy the vast majority of the land, but in reality, they control even smaller areas than humans.

In this place, the Queen Bugs only led a small number of elite troops and only sent their Hegemons to recruit when they needed to wage war. Therefore, there were a large number of scattered wild insects here. In order to control their numbers, Sand Wind Castle purchased many hunting symbols, such as the fangs of the weeping flies and the tail bones of the thorns, thus producing a large number of bounty warriors who lived on hunting insects.

Another function of the bounty warriors was to fight against the wanderers of Elda. The people of Elda regard Desert Five as their slum and exile. Compared to the humans of Silver City World, the people of Elda were extremely strong, and they didn’t need to rely on the industrial system to possess extraordinary combat strength. They usually organized teams to roam around, hunt swarms of bees and ants, plunder convoys of humans, and even plunder strongholds of humans.

As a result, Elda people of a specific ethnic group could also be exchanged for gold coins. The human strongholds on the fringes usually provide accommodation for these bounty warriors or replenish their fuel and supplies.

There was a saying in the Far East, “Persimmons look for soft pinches.” The Red Scorpion Corps thought so, and so did Tie Zha. Amongst the surrounding five forces, the Red Scorpion was the weakest. Naturally, they had to find them to kill chickens and monkeys.

The Red Scorpion’s stronghold was 120 kilometers northwest of Crimson Peak Stronghold. It was afternoon in Desert Five, and there were still twenty hours left until dark. There was still plenty of time, so Tie Zha circled around a few hundred kilometers before heading north and south into the Red Scorpion’s territory. In this way, he looked like someone from the direction of Sand Wind Castle.

According to Muyu Ling Lan’s intelligence, the Red Scorpion’s stronghold did not build a city wall. The outer perimeter was barbed wire. The main building in the middle was a three-storey stone fortress. The rest were brick-and-wood houses or military tents.

Approximately ten kilometers from the stronghold, Tie Zha let the Black Pig King out of the car and let him drive away a flying sand fish, lurking nearby to pick them up.

A few minutes later, in the evening, Tie Zha drove into Red Scorpion’s stronghold in a dilapidated truck. Even though the highest-ranking official here, Big Beard, had just put down his harsh words, he was still waiting for an answer from the higher-ups and had not made any preparations for battle. After checking the checkpoint, the Red Scorpion’s team members were still scattered. A pack of cigarettes and a few silver coins were enough to fool them.

“Boom boom boom boom boom!”

After a burst of pungent black smoke, a dexterous figure jumped off the dilapidated truck and walked towards the bar. Her whole body was wrapped in a set of cloaks, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

“Hey! Little girl, are you alone?” A man leaning against the door said.

The girl ignored him and walked straight to the shop. She lifted her hood and revealed a pretty face. In an instant, several fiery gazes came from the surroundings.

“Beauty, what can I do for you?” The waiter stepped forward and asked.

“A glass of rum, bread and steak.” She said to the waiter.

“Please wait a moment.” The waiter nodded and left.

“Oh my God, she really can eat.” “You can only grow well if you can eat.” Just as the waiter left, laughter and a whistle came from behind him.

“My brother is outside. He’s very powerful.” The girl suddenly turned her head, raised her small fist, and said to the men in military uniforms.

“Little girl, this is our Red Scorpion’s territory. No matter how powerful it is, it’s useless.” One of them said.

“Are you from the Red Scorpion Corps?” The girl asked curiously.

“Of course. Look, this is our symbol.” A man pointed at the red scorpion tail mark on his chest and said.

“My brother is looking for a job. How is your salary here?” The girl asked.

“It won’t be a problem to feed you.” A Red Scorpion teased.

“Yes, you can eat as much as you want.” The other echoed.

The girl snorted and said, “It’s not that simple to feed me.”

“That depends on what ability you have.” A Red Scorpion member said with a pun, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

“Is the officer here in a good temper?” The girl pretended not to understand and asked seriously.

“That depends on who is right. If it was you, you would definitely have a good temper.” The Red Scorpion member said with a smile.

“I’m not joking. My brother really wants to find a job.” The girl’s face turned stiff as she spoke with a hint of anger.

“Boss is not bad. You’ll know once you see him.” The Red Scorpion member put away his smile and said seriously. But his words were polite. The bearded man was short-tempered and greedy, so he could not be considered a good officer.

“Where can we see him?” The girl asked.

“Boss’s office is on the second floor of the fortress. Go up the stairs and the second one on the right.” The Red Scorpion said.

“Thank you.” The girl said. At this time, the waiter brought the wine over. She then raised her glass and said to the Red Scorpions, “Come, cheers, let’s be companions.”

“Cheers!” “Alright!” “Fuck!” Several Red Scorpion players raised their glasses and replied.

Half an hour later, after dinner, Lilith bid farewell to the Red Scorpions and arrived at the fortress in the middle of the stronghold. He hid himself in the shadows, quietly passed through the guard post at the door, and walked in. Upon reaching the second floor, there were two reformers standing at the second door on the right, while no one stood guard at the doors of the other rooms. It seemed that the Red Scorpion team member was not lying.

After confirming the location of Big Beard’s office, Lilith returned to the parking lot, climbed onto the co-driver of the truck and told Iron Slag about the situation. After listening to the information, Tie Zha told her to drive the truck and leave first to meet up with the Black Pig King ten kilometers away.

After watching Lilith leave, Tie Zha waited for another half an hour before starting the power furnace.

“Buzz …”

Along with the injection of fuel oil, the power furnace in front of his chest started to rotate at high speed. An orange-red light faintly appeared, reflecting the surrounding walls.

“Aggressive …”

In the next second, Tie Zha jumped up and spat out two crimson flames from his back. He immediately flew towards the fortress like an arrow that had left the string.
