late at night.
Zhang Mu lent Qiao Weier's exquisite cruise ship, set off from the castle's pier and slowly sailed into the lake. At the lake not far away, Liu Shuiyan stood there, waiting for a long time. When she saw the cruise ship approaching, she took the initiative to get on the ship.
She did not change into combat attire. She wore a black evening gown on her slender body, full of noble temperament. Her breasts were plump and plump, revealing her white right shoulder. Her neck was white and slender. Coupled with a stunning cold face, she stood tall in the night. In the middle, it is like a fairy who has come to this world and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"You came on time."
Zhang Mu drove the cruise ship to the center of the lake. The surroundings were quiet and no ship passed by.
Liu Shuiyan said lightly: "You can talk now."
Zhang Mu secretly performed a mind control, and sure enough there was a mind wave from the Heavenly Spirit Realm nearby. You didn't have to guess who it was. Gabriel followed. He thought he had the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and had learned one or two hiding spells, so it was impossible for him to be discovered by Zhang Mu.
"This is what happened..."
Zhang Mu slowly drove the cruise ship around the lake while telling Liu Shuiyan about the tribute boat case. Of course, most places have been changed. Hiding the fact that the tribute was obtained and the identity of the traitor in Zhonghai City, he only told Liu Shuiyan that he had obtained a very top-secret but very accurate information about the indigenous robbers.
At that time, there were several foreign tribes that participated in the robbery of tributes. The strongest one was the Snake Tribe. The location of the Snake Tribe's tribe has been investigated. It is very likely that the tributes were hidden in this tribe. The information Zhang Mu revealed to Liu Shuiyan was the precise coordinates of the snake demon tribe.
After Liu Shuiyan heard what happened, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise: "Is the information true?"
Zhang Mu was very sure: "It's absolutely true, it's real information! We can't guess when the indigenous people will divide up the tribute, but what we can guess is that the tribute is hidden in the tribe of the indigenous people. We will hurry up before the tribute is dispersed. If we can annihilate Aboriginal tribes, then perhaps the tribute can be recovered.”
Liu Shuiyan thought for a few seconds and said, "What if the tribute is not hidden in the tribe?"
"This possibility is not high. The Snake Demon Clan will not easily bury such precious things in the wild. Even if we take a step back and find no tribute, solving the lair of the robber mastermind is still a great achievement, and it can also Are you afraid of not being able to find the whereabouts of the tributes if you capture a large number of them alive?"
"How strong are they?"
"If you have the courage to intercept and rob the tribute ship, I think you are not weak. We will ask the city lord to dispatch the city defense army!"
"So, what are the coordinates?"
Zhang Mu hesitated for a while, then gave the coordinates of the snake demon tribe and said: "This is a rare opportunity to perform meritorious service. If tributes are found, the credit will be great. Fengyue mercenaries are specially invited to participate in the operation. There are many Fengyue shooters and mages. Perfect for an operation of this nature.”
Liu Shuiyan was silent, as if lost in thought.
Zhang Mu felt that Gabriel's mind was moving away.
He couldn't help but reveal a smile that seemed to have succeeded.
Liu Shuiyan found out, immediately stopped thinking, stared at Zhang Mu and said, "What, the play is over?"
"how do you know?"
Liu Shuiyan said lightly: "I may not be able to feel Gabriel's following, but I believe that you must have a way to feel it. From the beginning of the banquet, everything was clearly done for him to see. Do you want to set a trap for him? "
"Are you so sure?"
"Gabriel may not know you, but I know you very well." Liu Shuiyan paused and continued: "You have always been cautious in your behavior, and it is impossible for you to reveal important confidence information in that kind of situation, even if you don't point it out clearly. Your Sky Covering Technique has shielding ability, but you didn't use it in the conversation just now. This can only mean one thing, you want people to eavesdrop."
Zhang Mu looked at Liu Shuiyan with admiration. He was by no means a flower vase. On the contrary, he had all the qualities of a strong woman. Apart from being overprotective and a bit unhuman, he really couldn't find any obvious shortcomings. No wonder Gabriel didn't get any benefits, but was taken advantage of by Liu Shuiyan. He was brought with Feng Yue mercenaries to do several good tasks, allowing Liu Shuiyan to take advantage of him.
"Gabriel has left, can you make it clear?"
"Can."
A gray phantom mist filled Zhang Mu's body, slowly covering the surroundings of the cruise ship, and the cruise ship disappeared on the lake.
"What do you want to reveal to Gabriel? This person is arrogant but not stupid. At the same time, he is suspicious by nature. He will definitely investigate in advance. If he finds that the information is false, he will not choose to act."
Zhang Mu replied: "Gabriel will definitely take action because the information is not completely false. There is indeed an indigenous tribe at that coordinate location. This tribe of indigenous people is indeed the main force in robbing tribute ships. These two points are enough to make Gabriel Check it all out."
Liu Shuiyan was very shocked: "Then you still told him? Do you know that the correct coordinates of a large indigenous tribe, the information itself is very valuable, let alone the leader of the tribute ship case. Gabriel reported the information first, You can get a lot of rewards directly, and if you participate in the battle to eliminate the natives, the rewards will be even greater!"
"Some bones are too hard for us to chew. If we don't overestimate our strength, we will only knock out our teeth."
"How hard?"
"There are at least five or six powerful Heavenly Spirits!"
"Five or six!"
Liu Shuiyan was shocked. In Zhonghai City, which has a population of 20 million, there are less than twenty strong Heavenly Spirits stationed there, accounting for one in a million. That indigenous tribe actually had five or six powerful Heavenly Spirits stationed there. When did such a strong indigenous force appear near Zhonghai City
In fact, Liu Shuiyan didn't know that the origin of the snake demon tribe was not simple. The tribe was involved in a huge indigenous organization in the West Sea, and could even be involved in the mysterious Naga tribe in the West Sea.
Although the troops of the City Defense Bureau are all elite soldiers, their numbers are not enough. After all, they focus on defense and lack offensive weapons. Hard bones are difficult to chew. Even if you are lucky enough to bite them off, your vitality will be severely damaged. The city defense bureau is the only armed force in the hands of the city lord, and armed force is an important way to earn merit. In case of huge losses, the city lord will In the competition with the deputy city lord, you will be at a great disadvantage.
on the contrary.
The military headquarters controlled by the deputy city lord is different.
The Military Headquarters is in charge of the city's regular army, which is specially used for large-scale wars. Most of the Military Headquarters' weapons are imported from the Machinery Empire. They are very advanced and powerful. They are most suitable for fighting a war of annihilation. Zhang Mu deliberately let the military department and Gabriel chew the hard nut. Whether they could chew it or not, that was their business.
No matter what, the Snake Demon Clan was attacked by the Zhonghai City Military Headquarters, and their vitality was severely damaged. They even lost several powerful Heavenly Spirits.
Zhang Mu then told the city lord the news. The elite city defense army was ambushing the place where the indigenous people were dividing the tribute. With the indigenous strength greatly reduced, the army attending the party must be much smaller. Qiao Weier, the city defense army, and the Huangquan mercenaries attacked in one fell swoop. I hope to annihilate the indigenous people on the spot and destroy the Dark Corner at the same time. This will not only capture all the indigenous members who intercepted the tribute, but also eliminate a major traitor in Zhonghai City!
The tribute has already arrived!
Zhang Mu did not tell Liu Shuiyan completely about the contents. It was not that Zhang Mu could not trust her. Before the plan was implemented, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so as not to leak important information. Especially regarding the tributes, the tributes are hidden in Qiaoweier Castle and must not be leaked.
…
In the high hall, Lelio opened his eyes, his eyes flashing: "Is this news true?"
Gabriel stood under the main hall, and next to him stood a man wearing a black Bureau of Investigation cloak. He was none other than the top boss of Zhang Mu and Qiao Weier, the Director of Investigation.
The investigation director cupped his hands and said: "Deputy City Lord, I personally investigated and found that there is a large barrier in that direction. It is very secret. If we didn't know the precise coordinates, we would never have been able to discover that there is an indigenous tribe hiding here."
Lelio immediately asked: "Have you seen the things in the barrier?"
The investigation director replied: "No, this barrier is different from the illusion barriers of ordinary indigenous tribes. The survey ship cannot directly penetrate, but the construction cost of a large illusion barrier is very high, so the indigenous tribes under the barrier , must be a large tribe rarely seen thousands of miles away. Only such tribes have the power to intercept tribute ships. I investigated nearby and found a large number of traces of snake demon activities, which further confirmed the conjecture that tributes are most likely to be hidden among them."
"Okay!" Lelio stood up: "God is really helping me!"
Gabriel said: "Please send out the army!"
Lelio suddenly asked again: "What did Josebe do?"
The investigation director replied: "There is no action at the moment, but someone just brought back information that the city defense forces of various ministries are closing in. He may be forming an army."
Gabriel said anxiously: "The city defense troops are already taking action, we must speed up!"
"The duty of the city defense army is defense. They cannot mobilize as quickly as the regular army. Josebe is afraid of attracting our attention, so he dare not move too fast. Within three days, the city defense army will not be able to get out at all. We should not alert the enemy and secretly mobilize the army. That's enough." Lelio knew his opponent's abilities too well, and immediately said to the investigation director: "During the investigation, you first pretended to have discovered information about the indigenous tribes in another direction, and asked the military for military support. We used this as an excuse. Send out the troops.”
"Yes!" the investigation director asked again: "Then what should be required?"
Lelio pondered for a moment: "You declare a legion of 150,000 people. Of course, this number is a deception. I will instruct the military to secretly increase the number of troops by at least double!"
Zhonghai City has 800,000 regular troops.
Half of them were dispatched at once.
Lelio felt that an army of 300,000 was more than enough.
Over the years, many indigenous tribes have been wiped out, and there have been few deployments of more than 100,000 troops. Even if the snake demon tribe is very strong, an army of 300,000 should be enough.
"Gabriel, you should go too!"
"Thank you, Deputy City Lord!"
Lelio nodded: "As long as you serve me well, you will be greatly rewarded when you succeed."
Gabriel said with a gloomy look, "I have a request!"
"Even if you don't tell me, I know what it is." Lelio said slowly: "Do you want Zhang Mu and a few capable subordinates around him to disappear from the world forever?"
"Exactly!"
"It's absolutely possible." Lelio said coldly: "If this thing is done, I can overwhelm Josebe. With this great achievement, even if he does it openly, Josebe can't do anything to us. This It’s not difficult at all to do this.”
