When Shang Jianyao identified those comatose, the soldiers were not idle either. They were either wearing gas masks, guarding the surroundings to prevent accidents, or carefully searching every corner of the basement.
At this time, a soldier shouted loudly:
"There is a door here."
In the front right corner of the basement, there is a human statue made of marble, and behind it is a door that almost merges with the wall.
The soldiers tried to push the statue and found that it was very easy, because the bottom of the statue had wheels and dark rails.
As the door opened, a dark and dark passage appeared in front of everyone.
There were electric lights inside, but they seemed to be so far apart that they seemed dim.
"Flashbang, hypnosis bomb." Muscle Major Dukas gave the order again.
After a round of cleaning, he and Cassirer led some soldiers, wearing gas masks, and chased into the passage.
Jiang Baimian followed curiously, and Shang Jianyao was faster than her.
The tunnel was a bit long, and after a few minutes, the pursuers saw the exit and returned to the ground.
It is already outside the Zhao family manor, near the Taiwei River, in the hidden place of a hill.
"There are wheel marks, it's still fresh." Cassirer, who had dark yellow hair with short ears, squatted down and checked it carefully.
Dukas nodded:
"Don't worry."
He picked up the walkie-talkie, reported the matter here to Phocas, and asked him to send soldiers to bring the transport over.
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genava "shrinked" in a distant place, watching all this quietly.
After pursing his lips inward, Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:
"I feel like something is strung together in a thread."
"Fishing line?" Shang Jianyao asked with a smile.
"Maybe." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.
Genova joined their discussion:
"Meng Gang and Zhao Yixue are bait? Which fish do 'Anti-Intellectualism' want to catch?"
"It depends on the next development." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "Maybe it's not the fishing line, but the manipulation line in the old world puppet show."
While they were talking, the soldiers who were in charge of surrounding the Zhao Family Manor drove in military vehicles one after another.
Apparently, there's no "Old Tunes" army green Jeep in it.
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genava could only squeeze into the trailer of a military vehicle, supporting the baffle with both hands, letting the wind blow through their hair.
"The rural scenery here is quite beautiful, and the architecture is also very distinctive." Jiang Baimian followed the local customs and admired the surrounding scenery.
In such a beautiful scenery, a large number of slaves are scattered in the fields, doing various things.
Because there were not many vehicles coming and going at this time, and the roads outside the city were full of dirt, it was easier for Dukas, Cassirer and the others to follow the car tracks, stop and go, stop and go.
About ten minutes later, the military vehicles stopped outside another manor.
Not only are wheat, oats, rye grown here, but also vineyards.
Cassirer got out of the car, squatted to check, and said in a deep voice:
"It's the car from before. It entered the manor."
Dukas, Jiang Baimian and the others approached one after another and used their own methods to confirm.
After confirming that the car driven by Zhao Yixue and Meng Gang disappeared at the entrance of the manor, Ducasse looked up in front of him and said solemnly:
"This is the manor that Elder Varro loves the most. He often comes to live there."
Elder Varo... Jiang Baimian repeated the name silently, and looked sideways at Shang Jianyao.
She lip-synched:
"The lines are tied."
The elder named Varo was one of the real power factions of the "First City", and was the deputy of the consul and commander-in-chief Beuris.
They have a large number of supporters in the Senate, the idea is to maintain the status quo as much as possible without a catastrophe, and are called conservatives by the intelligence system of "Panga".
And those newly recruited members of the Senate were eager to change, and under the banner of "reshaping the 'prime city' and returning the lands to citizens", they gathered around Gaius, who was also a general, and was the eastern part of the "prime city". Legion Commander. The intelligence system of "Pangaeon" calls them the revolutionaries.
In addition, there are many generals and elders of the monitoring system who choose to be neutral and do not participate in the disputes between the two factions, which are called centrists. Phocas, the semi-retired old guy, is among them.
This is not a secret. Other major forces have mastered it. Jiang Baimian learned it from the information provided by the company.
After reading Jiang Baimian's mouth shape, Shang Jianyao nodded seriously.
As for whether he really understood what he meant, Jiang Baimian didn't know.
"When it comes to Elder Varro, we can't make our own decisions, we have to ask the general." Cassirer reminded his colleagues.
Although Dukas is a muscular man, he still has a brain. He didn't have the urge to use the walkie-talkie to inform Phocas of the tracking results.
After listening to his report, Phokas calmly said:
"Stop all operations and wait for me to come."
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian took a few steps back and distanced himself from Dukas' gang.
When Shang Jianyao and Genava came over, she pressed her voice and said:
"I don't know what drama will be staged later, let's just see it, don't mix it up."
"Hey, I really want to join this drama and perform it." Shang Jianyao looked regretful.
Jiang Baimian made a "heh":
"Distinguish primary and secondary."
After a while, the soldiers and combat robots who had surrounded Zhao Family Manor rushed over with Phokas' armored command vehicle.
Phocas summoned the two majors to exchange for a few minutes, and asked about the situation.
Then, he sat in the armored vehicle and stayed silent for a while.
After an unknown time, he finally opened the door of the armored vehicle, stood on the edge of the vehicle, looked around, and said aloud:
"Soldiers, now I have an order."
His expression was unusually serious, and his sparse khaki hair was no longer so abrupt.
When the soldiers all looked over, Phocas said loudly:
"You should be very clear that we are tracking down members of the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' cult, who once assassinated Elder Sols and brought us chaos.
"They are dangerous, they want to subvert us, they want to make all citizens their puppets, stop thinking, just listen.
"For the safety of all citizens, and for the future of the 'First City', we must seize those key members as soon as possible and eliminate this organization. During this process, no matter who is involved in the front, no matter what obstacles are in front of us, we must not back down. The consequences are my responsibility.
"Also, we have the consul's warrant, and everything is in accordance with the 'First City' law."
After listening to Phocas' speech, many soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly:
"General! General!"
The rest of the soldiers were driven by this atmosphere and also shouted.
After the voices died down, Phocas pointed to Varro's manor:
"Soldiers, I order you to take over here and allow shooting!"
At this moment, he was like an aged lion, radiating its original might.
"As ordered, General!" The soldiers responded in unison.
Phocas nodded in satisfaction, and distributed tasks in an orderly manner.
As before, some soldiers and some combat robots scattered and surrounded the entire manor. The remaining soldiers and remaining combat robots followed Dukas and Cassirer and flocked to the gate of Varro Manor.
When passing Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Genava, Dukas paused and asked:
"Do you want to be together?"
Jiang Baimian shook his head without hesitation:
"When you take over, we will recognize people again."
Dukas did not persuade and left this hidden place.
Watching them approach the manor, disarming the guards at the gate, and after driving straight in, Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and glanced at Phokas, who was being protected by many soldiers.
The general sat in the co-pilot position of the armored command vehicle and looked at Varro's manor intently, calm and majestic.
Suddenly, a bang resounded through the sky.
An explosion occurred in the manor of the old man of Varro.
Immediately following, dense gunshots came out, mixed with "booms" of different heights.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but let out a low laugh, because it was similar to what she expected.
"Something will really happen..." She sighed to Shang Jianyao and Genova.
"No creativity." Shang Jianyao criticized.
The sound of fierce battle only lasted for a short time, and Varro's manor quickly returned to calm.
After a while, a military vehicle that entered the manor drove out.
Dukas and Cassirer jumped out of the car one after another and gave Phukas a military salute from afar:
"General, the mission is completed, and the goals are all seized!"
Phokas, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, nodded and asked loudly:
"Why don't you use the walkie-talkie to report directly?"
Dukas and Cassirer looked at each other, hesitated for two seconds, and shouted in the same loud voice:
"Report to the general, in addition to the members of the 'Anti-Intellectual Sect', there are also the cronies of the elder Varo, as well as people from the 'Salvation Army'!"
His voice spread throughout the arena and was clearly heard by many soldiers.
"The Salvation Army"... Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows.
For the "First City", the "Salvation Army" has always been the number one enemy.
