"Report to the battalion commander! The teams cooperating with the intelligence group have been sent out." Li Tianrui saluted Wang Jiyuan who was patrolling the post.
Wang Jiyuan nodded and said, "Let the others be more alert. There is no smoke without fire. Since one of the intelligence team and the foreign affairs team is acting secretly and the other is speaking with certainty, it is estimated that something big is going to happen."
When Li Tianrui heard this, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"explain!"
"Battalion Commander, I think that Team Leader Luo is more reliable than Zhou Xiaoren. Why did we finally cooperate with Zhou Xiaoren's actions?" Shi Hao asked.
Wang Jiyuan glanced at Shi Hao and snorted, "Li Zi, you are now a platoon leader. You can't look at things with such an old-fashioned perspective. What should the army focus on first?"
"Combat strength?"
"Wrong! The first thing is to talk about politics. You've read all the things I told you to learn in vain." Wang Jiyuan patted the back of Li Tianrui's head. "Talking about politics is about who holds the gun. Who are we responsible to now? The committee! Simply put, we do whatever the committee tells us to do."
Li Tianrui said: "It's too obvious that Zhou Xiaoren suddenly launched an attack to steal the credit."
"Team Leader Luo asked us to cooperate with tomorrow's operation, and Zhou Xiaoren asked us to cooperate with today's operation. These are all instructions from the committee. How can we not do it? Not only do we have to do it, but we have to do our best to cooperate. At this stage, the most taboo thing is the formation of cliques in the army. Now is the initial stage, and once the rules are broken, they will never be fixed. You remember this, keep any thoughts of favoring one over the other to yourself. Otherwise, I will remove you from the position of platoon leader in the next minute."
Li Tianrui hung his head and said, "If something really happened, wouldn't Zhou Xiaoren's actions alert the enemy?"
"Team Leader Luo already knows about it. Do you think she is unprepared?" Wang Jiyuan shook his head and said, "Never underestimate this woman Luo Ling."
"What about us?"
"She's prepared, so we'll naturally cooperate." Wang Jiyuan put his arm around Li Tianrui's shoulder and patted him, saying, "Come on, let's go to the sentry tower ahead and take a look."
The two men had not taken a few steps when they heard the sound of bells ringing from two sentry posts on the rooftops not far away, followed by gunshots.
Wang Jiyuan looked up and saw a group of bats appearing in the air at some point. Attracted by the bell sounds on the sentry tower, they flew towards the two sentry towers.
Under the setting sun, the feeling of countless bats flapping their wings is really creepy.
The soldiers at the sentry posts were frightened by these sudden appearances. After someone opened fire, the soldiers on duty at several rooftops on the east side of the school opened fire one after another, and several bats were shot and fell. The bat group found themselves under attack, and they immediately began to spit out ice bullets from their mouths and attacked the sentry posts.
Most of these sentry posts were built on the rooftops, with only a few shields at most, in addition to the roof for sun protection and rain protection. Once they were attacked by intensive ice bombs, the soldiers would be in great danger.
More and more bats rushed out from a dormitory building. They not only besieged the watchtower, but also began to attack the rooms in the building and attacked pedestrians on the road.
Dark shadows flickered in the sky and hail fell from the ground. Pedestrians on the road began to scream and dodge. However, bats are small and agile. Even if they hide in the room, they will fly into the building and even shoot ice bombs through the glass.
"Battalion Commander! Is this the big deal you were talking about?" Li Tianrui pulled out the pistol from his waist and prepared to shoot, but Wang Jiyuan held his hand.
"Wait. This is a trick to divert attention." Wang Jiyuan carefully observed the bats and analyzed, "Whoever created these bats can only use these things to disrupt our sight and attract our attention. Bats attacking people must not be their ultimate goal."
Wang Jiyuan grabbed an electric speaker from the captain of the patrol team nearby, turned on the speaker and shouted upstairs: "Attention all sentries, attention all sentries, I am Wang Jiyuan, you must immediately retreat to the building you are stationed in. It is better not to attack the bats, but to hold your position and pay close attention to the situation outside the school."
Soon, the gunfire from the upper floors became less frequent, and the sentries in the nearby buildings all obeyed the order and began to retreat. Wang Jiyuan put the loudspeaker back into the patrol leader's hands and instructed: "You arrange two soldiers, one to go north and the other to go south, to spread my order throughout the school. Especially when passing by the gate, have them keep an eye on the outside.
The patrol leader asked again: "Captain, what about those people who were attacked in the school? Who will eliminate the bats?"
Wang Jiyuan said: "Send someone else to notify the patrol teams to rescue them, and gather the rescued people together to prevent them from running around. Remember to bring emergency lights and flashlights. Bats are afraid of light, so you can use lights to illuminate them."
"Yes!" The patrol captain responded and left.
"Li Zi, call Class 2 and follow me to the building where the bats came out to find out what happened. You go to the rooftop of the administrative building to find Chen Hansheng and Kalanda. Tell them not to act rashly. We will solve the problem of these bats."
"Chen Hansheng? Isn't he from the business team?" Li Tianrui asked puzzledly.
"Humph, Luo Ling has mobilized all the armed forces from her camp management office. This is our last mobile force. We must not move rashly! No matter what the enemy wants to do, it will definitely require people to do it in the end..."
——————————
At this time, on the roof of the administration building, Chen Hansheng was holding a rifle, leaning against the guardrail, watching the bats dancing in the sky above the school. This was the highest point in the school, and no bats had yet flown that high. He squinted and said, "These fleas have finally emerged."
"Lord Luo Ling is right." Kalanda, carrying a greatsword on his back, seemed relieved. "The enemy's goal is indeed here, not the slave camp. What should we do now?"
"Keep waiting."
"I wonder what's going on in Camp 3."
"You women are prone to worrying about nothing. I've said it before, Luo Ling is one of the most reliable people here." Chen Hansheng saw Kalanda curl his lips and quickly stroked Kalanda's back with his hand, "Of course, the other one must be you."
Kalanda smiled and punched Old Chen's chest. She was wearing armor, and the hand guard poked Chen Hansheng's flesh, causing him to grimace in pain. Then she frowned and said, "No matter what, Lady Luo Ling is still very dangerous. She has basically drained the military forces in the camp. What if there is chaos? These people may look docile now, but many of them were prisoners of war and criminals in the past. It's really hard to imagine what would happen if something happened?"
"Let Brother Chen teach you a lesson: Based on my many years of business experience, no one will go against profit, unless there are greater benefits to tempt them. Who can give them more than Luo Ling?" Chen Hansheng looked at the chaos downstairs and put his arm around Kalanda's shoulders. "Besides, do you think Luo Ling is a weak woman? Humph, I'm an old soldier, and I've even touched the edge of fighting spirit recently. I also feel a very strange pressure in front of her."
"That is a manifestation of the escape of mental power. It is a symbol of a powerful magician." Kalanda said.
"No one has ever seen Luo Ling cast magic. Many people think that she is wearing a wizard robe just for show. But, hehe... I think we should focus our energy on what is now." Chen Hansheng said as he touched Kalanda's head.
The tall Karanda felt indescribably funny when Chen Hansheng, who was almost as tall as him, touched her head. However, she gently leaned over and took Chen Hansheng's arm, "If anything happens later, you must be careful."
At this time, a figure with extremely fast movements rushed downstairs, then quickly climbed up along the long rope hanging from the roof, and landed beside the two people with a flip. It took him less than two minutes from approaching the building to climbing to the roof of the nearly 30th floor.
The person who came was Cole who had just returned from outside the school. He glanced at the two people leaning against each other, pretended not to see anything, and reported: "Captain, I have taken care of that guy named Hawke."
"Didn't I ask you to bring him back for interrogation? How come he is dead?" asked Kalanda.
"We originally caught him, but he attacked me with a bottle of 'Fire' alchemical potion. I kicked the potion back into his car, and he and his car were burned to ashes." Cole said with annoyance, "But at least we are better than the useless intelligence team. The arrest team they sent was knocked out by Hawke's sleeping potion in the warehouse."
"Did you get any information?" Kalanda asked.
"When I was confronting him, I got some information out of him. Lorenzo asked him about the news of the Citadel garrison and patrols."
"It seems that Lady Luo Ling's judgment has become more certain." Kalanda said to Chen Hansheng.
"Not only that, Lorenzo also asked about the library. He didn't ask Hawke directly, but he was particularly interested in people who had been near the library."
"The library? What a good target." Chen Hansheng was stunned, then he chuckled, "I didn't expect that the one who targeted the school this time was the Yazei gang."
The other two obviously didn't understand what Yazei meant.
Chen Hansheng quickly ran to the rooftop facing the library, raised the telescope hanging on his chest and looked over. After scanning for a while, he handed the telescope to Kalanda who followed him. He pointed to an alley next to the back door of the library and said, "Look over there!"
Kalanda discovered that there were indeed a dozen blurry black shadows. They sneaked towards the library while it was getting dark, the campus was in a mess due to bats, and the defense forces at all levels were overwhelmed.
She looked for a while and said, "There are magicians and fighting masters."
"It seems that the time has come for us to take action." Chen Hansheng patted his gun and said, "Experts also pat this."
"Let's go! Let's go downstairs. Everyone else is waiting for us downstairs. After we meet up, we'll go to the library." said Kalanda.
Cole waved his fingers lightly to cast the Feather Falling Technique on the three people, and then jumped directly from the roof. He was clearly falling in the air, but his falling speed remained constant, as if he was hanging by a rope.
Kalanda jumped down immediately afterwards, and turned back and winked at Chen Hansheng as he went down.
Chen Hansheng laughed, "You still want to provoke me like this? Brother has jumped with a parachute before." After saying that, he dived down without blinking.
