In a bright room, two people were sitting quietly. Different from those thugs who just lived from day to day in the downtown, these two people had calm eyes and their aura was majestic and long-lasting.
The room is tidy and clean, and there are special people coming to disturb it every day. Even ordinary professionals do not receive such treatment.
"I didn't expect the zombie tide to be broken so quickly. It was beyond everyone's expectations!"
At this time in the room, on both sides of a table with tea leaves were sitting a young man and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. They were Hong Jiuling's confidants, Li Chiyu and Mr. Fang.
"Yeah, I thought it would last for a while." Mr. Fang looked around and said calmly, "In order to support Li Chuan, I made a batch of corpses in the past few days, but it seems they are no longer needed."
"It's just that there's a lot of discussion in the city now, with all kinds of versions. Everything is confusing. I don't know whether Xu Hongzhuang took the first place or Li Chuan took the first place." Li Chiyu said softly.
"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one knows what will happen in the next second. However, Li Chuan brought a lot of helpers this time, and he must have made a lot of achievements. After the war is over, the troops will be back soon, and then the answer will naturally be revealed." Mr. Fang had a calm demeanor and didn't seem to take this seriously at all.
“Well said.”
Li Chiyu nodded and stood up. "No matter success or failure, the situation in Qiaodong is still in our hands. The conservatives can't turn defeat into victory after this small battle."
"Well... just wait."
Mr. Fang picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly. The two stopped talking and fell into silence.
… … …
At noon the next day, five miles east of the bridge.
In the cold wind, a team of neatly organized soldiers, full of murderous aura and mighty and majestic, were holding countless prisoners, including zombies tied up like dumplings and some weird-looking goblins.
After the great battle, the soldiers held their heads high and looked so heroic that it was deeply moving.
On both sides of the road, there were even survivors and professionals standing there. Most of these people were in favor of war. Feng Zhiyong made an exception and agreed to allow them to leave the city to welcome their heroes.
Among these people, there were many soldiers' families. People looked around, some anxiously checking the soldiers' faces. When they saw familiar faces, they waved excitedly. After searching for a while and not seeing the people they wanted to see, some people began to show panic and anxious expressions. Even those who were less able to endure it squatted on the ground, their bodies becoming weak.
War kills people.
This is a situation that everyone knows.
They could not accept the tragic news of watching their loved ones go into battle, only to return with only a corpse or even a cup of earth in the end.
Bang bang bang!
A burst of gunfire was heard from a distance.
Right at the city gate on the east side of the bridge, Feng Zhiyong actually stood outside the gate in person to welcome the return of Xu Hongzhuang and a group of soldiers.
"Bang!"
This was not the end yet. Just as Xu Hongzhuang's team was getting closer and closer, a shocking sound exploded in the sky.
Magic crystal cannon!
In this situation, the war faction spent a huge amount of money and used magic crystal cannons as a welcome, which dispersed the white clouds in the sky.
Feng Zhiyong stood at the back of the crowd, and next to him stood the veteran figures of the pro-war faction, including Tian Xuefeng, Zhou Xian and other masters.
This was supposed to be a joyful thing, but Feng Zhiyong's expression seemed a little heavy, as if he had something on his mind, and even his eyes were filled with bloodshot.
In fact, he hadn't slept for the whole day. Suppressing Hong Jiuling was a big deal. If he took a wrong step, he would be doomed.
However, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. At this point, it is too late to regret and you can only choose one path and go all the way.
"Everyone, walk forward and go to the front to greet the returning soldiers."
Feng Zhiyong figured it all out and stopped hesitating. He immediately gave orders to the people around him.
Some people looked at each other. They had just received the order. It was said to be a welcome, but in fact it was a reunion. Later, they would work together inside and outside to suppress the conservative troops.
These people are Feng Zhiyong's confidants and have no problem with loyalty. Although they did not expect the colonel to take such a move, they are soldiers and all they have to do is fight. Everything else is not something they can choose or control.
On the side, the one who represented the conservatives to welcome the soldiers was not Mr. Fang and Li Chiyu, but the hot-tempered Weng Ziqiang. He stood in place, staring at the surroundings with a pair of tiger eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, which was so scary.
The three parties are like sharp blades, standing in three directions, and then slowly moving closer. At this time, the competition is about whose blade is sharper.
In the troops.
All the captives have been taken to the back and are under strict guard, while in the front, in addition to the soldiers holding guns, all the summoned beasts under Chen Feng's command are on the scene.
In addition to the Necromancer standing in front, the Dark Elf and Fulla stood on both sides of Chen Feng, like two guards, loyally protecting him from any harm.
Chen Feng was confident but not arrogant. He knew what kind of opponent he was facing this time, so he kept the dark elf and Fulla by his side so that they could better protect themselves.
Xu Hongzhuang stood aside, her face pale, as if she was overly nervous.
"Everything has been prepared. We will act according to the situation. According to the original plan, we will first clear out the conservatives outside the city, and then organize forces to attack the city. We must do this quickly. We must take control of the city while the conservatives are prepared."
Chen Feng said solemnly.
Today's welcoming ceremony was originally a Hongmen Banquet set up by Chen Feng and Feng Zhiyong, in order to wipe out the forces headed by Hong Jiuling in one fell swoop.
Xu Hongzhuang nodded, as if to cheer herself up, and her eyes gradually became determined. No matter what the outcome, she must go all out.
Half a mile.
After walking for some time, Chen Feng and his group finally appeared at the gate of Qiaodong.
Feng Zhiyong looked at those proud faces, his body trembled, obviously a little excited. He waved his hand, and his trusted men slowly gathered around them. Unknowingly, the two groups joined together.
Weng Ziqiang stood aside, looking a little puzzled. He looked around carefully, but did not find a familiar face. Not only Li Chuan, but even some soldiers he was familiar with in the past were nowhere to be seen.
What's going on
Why is there not a single one of Li Chuan’s people
Weng Ziqiang felt something was strange and took a few steps forward, wanting to take a closer look.
At this moment, Xu Hongzhuang saw Weng Zhiqiang and took the lead to step out. She said loudly to Feng Zhiyong: "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. The zombie tide has finally been repelled. We... won!"
"but… "
Xu Hongzhuang changed her tone and her face turned cold. She said loudly, "Li Chuan abused his duties, constantly harassed the troops, and even hurt his comrades. The battlefield was unpredictable, so I had to kill him first and report later. Li Chuan is dead. I killed him! In addition, I have solid evidence. Li Chuan has committed many crimes. All the bloody incidents in the camp during this period are related to Li Chuan. I suspect that there are other people behind him, so I demand a thorough investigation of Hong Jiuling!"
"What?!"
When Weng Ziqiang heard all this, his eyes were about to spit fire. Li Chuan was actually killed, and Xu Hongzhuang wanted to thoroughly investigate Hong Jiuling. To him, this was simply a provocation.
Take a step forward.
Weng Ziqiang walked towards Xu Hongzhuang, wanting her to explain.
But at this moment, Feng Zhiyong saw everything and suddenly shouted: "When Li Chuan got into trouble, you are his accomplices. Not only do you have no intention of changing your ways, but now you even want to take action. Come on, arrest him for me! I want to see if Hong Jiuling has any ulterior motives towards Qiaodong!"
The prelude to the battle is slowly starting from now on...
