The next day.
While enjoying breakfast, Tianyang saw Xiaoniao chasing Xitong. Judging from the smile on Xitong's face, she and Xiaoniao got along very happily.
"Xiao Niao seems to have a natural ability. She can quickly get along with others and get along very well with them. This is something I really can't learn." Sitting next to Tianyang, Xun watched Xiao Niao and Xitong playing with a smile on her face.
Tian Yang gently held her hand and smiled: "You are you, you don't have to be anyone else, and no one else can be you."
Xun smiled, then said with some concern: "I have learned from Alice that the Elhoin family is not simple at all. You must be careful if you want to go to war with them."
Tian Yang laughed and said, "If I get hurt, I still have you. I'm not afraid at all."
Qianhong, who was sitting on the other side of Tianyang, said in a loud voice: "I want to go with you!"
Tianyang did not refuse and nodded: "Okay."
Then he stood up and clapped his hands: "Little bird, Xitong, stop playing and come and have breakfast."
Xiaoniao then picked up Xitong, whose forehead was covered with sweat. The two, one big and one small, ran over laughing. After they sat down, Xiaoniao put a lot of food on Xitong's plate.
Xitong waved her hands and said, "I can't eat so much."
The bird asked curiously, "Why?"
Xitong glanced at Tianyang and said, "Dad said that if you eat too much, you will become a fat girl."
Xiao Niao rolled her eyes at Tian Yang and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Besides, our Xi Tong is so cute, so what if she becomes a little fat girl?"
As she spoke, she gently pinched Xitong's face.
Looking at Xitong, Tianyang smiled slightly, but there was a faint haze lingering in his heart. Xitong's sudden growth might be related to the evil cells.
This may be a manifestation of stress.
He has asked everyone in the manor not to leak the news about this matter, but the truth will eventually get out.
Tianyang was worried that this incident would attract attention, so he asked Xitong not to show her abilities in front of outsiders unless there was danger.
It is precisely because of this incident that he is eager to expand his power, because only in this way can he protect the people he cherishes.
At this time, footsteps sounded, and Qiu Mo came quickly: "Sir, there is news from Elhoin."
"It was quick." Tian Yang picked up the napkin to wipe his mouth and smiled at the others, "Eat slowly, I'll be back soon."
Then he and Qiu Mo came to the study.
Qiu Mo took out a remote control, and soon, the wall on one side of the study flipped over, revealing the built-in electronic screen in front of Tianyang.
The screen lit up, and Tianyang saw Victor's figure on it.
"This is a video that Ai Huoyin sent to you through Wang Lingjun. Wang Lingjun just had someone deliver it to you." Qiu Mo explained while controlling the screen to play the video.
In the picture, Victor faced the camera and said without any expression on his face: "Mr. Tianyang, on behalf of Elhoin, I would like to express my deepest apologies for what happened to you."
"This is a misunderstanding. We in Elhoin never thought of doing this. This was an impulsive decision made by my wife, a poor woman who lost her child, after losing her mind."
"But now, she has paid the price for her impulsiveness and committed suicide."
"I heard that your daughter was not injured, but my wife has paid the price. Do you think this matter can end here?"
"Of course, to show our sincerity, we hope you can spare some time next week to discuss this matter in person at the War God Castle. We, Elhoin, will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
"I sincerely hope to get your reply."
At the end of the picture, there is a woman lying in a coffin. She is wearing a plain white dress, with her hands clasped on her chest. Her skin is dark blue, and she is obviously dead.
There were two coins pressed on her eyes, as if it was some kind of custom.
She was surrounded by flowers and looked like she was being prepared for burial.
Qiu Mo coughed dryly and said softly: "That's Victor's wife Anna."
The video ends here.
After watching it, Tianyang smiled and said, "Give the video to Mihawk and tell him that I will meet him later."
Qiu Mo nodded, turned and left.
Returning to the restaurant, Tianyang continued to enjoy his breakfast. It was almost noon when he came to the room where Mihawk was imprisoned.
Here, Redding and a team of people are guarding day and night, and even if Mihawk turns into a fly, he can't fly out.
Walking into the room, Tianyang saw that the man looked lifeless, sitting in front of the window like a puppet. The electronic screen in the room was playing the video sent by Victor in a loop.
Tianyang made a gesture, and Qiu Mo turned off the video and left the room.
Only then did Mihawk say, "Victor is such a complete coward. He can't even protect his own wife. I know Anna too well. She wouldn't commit suicide unless she was forced to do so."
Tian Yang did not respond to his topic. He found a chair and sat down, then asked calmly, "What are your plans?"
Mihawk turned around and said, "I will tell you all the secrets of Elhoin, but I have one request. I want to kill Victor myself!"
"no problem."
Tian Yang readily agreed, and then said: "I have found a death row prisoner with a similar body shape to you. I will release a message to Elhoin later."
"I will tell Victor that you have been executed by me. In this way, when he sees you, he should be surprised, right?"
Mihawk gritted his teeth and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
He paused for two seconds and continued, "Elhoin will definitely set up a trap to kill you when they meet you. Two of their family members have already died, so there is absolutely no way they can live in peace with you."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "I know this very well, and I plan to take action at that time, but before that, I need the information you provide."
Mihawk said without hesitation: "Elhoin is secretly running his own forces outside. Settlement No. 12 and even the mine are just a cover they use to attract the attention of the War God Castle and those who are interested."
"Deep in the desert east of Fort Ares, there is a place called 'White Rock Corridor' where they are secretly training an army."
"The White Rock Corridor is a complex area with many quicksand areas. People who are not familiar with the environment can easily fall into the quicksand and be buried in the yellow sand."
"Elhoin has been operating there for many years. Through trading, looting, and other activities, they have gained a large amount of resources and trained at least five Level 6 warriors."
"Although Elhoin itself does not have a rank 7, they have connections in this area, and Wang Lingjun is one of them. But based on my understanding of the 'Justice', he is unlikely to help Elhoin again. Elhoin can't give Wang Lingjun what he wants."
Mihawk raised his head and said in a deep voice: "But
You have to be careful of the Gunslinger Rodo, he has some unknown relationship with Elhoin, there are rumors that he is the illegitimate son of old Jones, and is a pawn used by old Jones to subdue the Waste City. "
"In addition, Elhoin has maintained an army of over a thousand people in the White Stone Corridor all year round, with dozens of Level 4 and Level 5 Ascendants. They dominate the desert and their influence covers the two small fortresses nearby."
Next, Tianyang called for help and drew a map of the 'White Stone Corridor' based on Mihawk's description. From the map, it can be seen that Elhoin had stationed his army deep in this area. This is one of the few solid rock areas in the desert. There is a safe route that can pass through the quicksand area and reach the army's base directly.
However, this approximately 5-kilometer route is winding and passes through a lot of rugged terrain, which restricts the passage of a large number of people. In particular, tanks find it difficult to enter the base, and some even have to walk to get there.
The base is located on a high ground. The steep slope is the minefield where Elhoin has buried mines. It can be seen that they have really put a lot of effort in choosing the site. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In addition, Elhoin built a secret passage in the base, so he could evacuate quickly even if he was besieged.
Tianyang believed that it was impossible for Ares Castle to be unaware of the existence of this base, but Elhoin's private army had already grown in size. Once a war broke out, Ares Castle would have to spend a lot of effort to eliminate it.
Because of various problems before, Fortress of the God of War had been slow to take action, but now that they are on the same side as him, he can ask Fortress of the God of War to send troops to cooperate with him to attack this base.
If this base is destroyed, Elhoin will suffer heavy losses, like a disabled person with both arms cut off.
"I am sure that they will definitely dispatch a group of elite soldiers from the base within this week to attack you on your way to or from the War God Castle."
Mihawk said in a deep voice: "In addition, in order to ensure that everything goes well, they should invite one of Wang Lingjun or Luo Du to take action."
"If they want to attack, the place they choose won't be too far or too close to the Ares Castle. If it's too far, it will be difficult to grasp my movements, and if it's too close, it will easily alert the fortress."
Tianyang took out a map of the area near the Ares Castle, and finally, he pointed at the area of 'Stone Mushroom Forest' with his hand: "If I were Elhoin, I would choose to take action here."
"This place is quite far from the Ares Castle, and the terrain is special, so we can set up an ambush in advance. I don't know when they plan to take action."
Tian Yang folded his arms and asked again: "How is the combat capability of the members of the Elhoin family?"
"Old Jones and his second son are both ordinary people. They are better at running the family business. Their battlefield is in the business world, but their contribution to the family is no less than that of others."
Mihawk said, "Old Jones's eldest son Hann is a rank 6 God of War, Victor is a rank 5 Elemental Heart, but Victor's butler Louis is a rank 6 master. Basically, these three are the top combat power of Elhorn."
"But the Elhoin that has been operating till now has been more about controlling the people under it through drugs, food, resources, etc., rather than relying solely on the family's combat power."
"As for the third generation of Elhoin, there is no dazzling genius. Victor's other son Paul and his other brothers are mostly only level 3 or 4 ascenders."
Tianyang nodded slightly, and at this time Qiu Mo came to report that the death row prisoner he wanted had been brought there.
