Faao, the largest oil port in Eagle County.
The defense force here is very weak at this time. Due to the war situation, every county controlled by the empire is now in danger. Many of them secretly communicate with the resistance organizations and attempt to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" at the critical moment. Commander exists. The governor of Fao and the local garrison chief are examples of this kind of vacillation. They are sitting on oil resources and control important ports, so they naturally have the capital to negotiate terms.
By the end of last year, these two people had been connected with people from three organizations: Iron Discipline, Yanwu Alliance, and Xingtian. They were waiting to see which one offered better conditions, and then they would offer the city with both hands. In fact, it is very stupid to surrender at the end of the war. People like them preyed on the people during the empire's rule. When they saw the dynasty overthrown, they took advantage of the situation and took the lives of their soldiers and the people in the city. Use it as a bargaining chip to get a position with your new master.
If they had committed fewer crimes before, they might have been able to save their lives and wait to die as idle workers in the Qingshui Yamen after the war. But in the case of these two people, there will be trouble if they don't get settled. Traitors and corrupt officials are not scarce resources. You can just find a group of local ruffians to do the job. Who would welcome such people except the rogue government? But the governor and generals of Faao couldn't even figure out this, and they still dreamed of continuing to get promoted and make a fortune with their new masters.
On this day, they couldn't even dream anymore.
When the Imperial Army and the Iron Discipline were fighting fiercely in the Samavo Desert, a group of uninvited guests also appeared in Faao.
Maybe it's not accurate to say one group, but it's actually two groups of people. Their action goals are the same, but they are responsible for different things.
Silver Shadow's killers did what they had done in Paris again. The raid that had been brewing for several days plunged the local army and HL troops into chaos, making it impossible to organize effective resistance. Various confidential departments were destroyed one after another, and the city fell into paralysis.
At this moment, the governor of Fao and the commander of the local army were taken to the top of the most luxurious building in the city. They all wore black hoods, were tied to two stools, and their mouths were gagged with towels.
The governor and the general were both generous-minded and fat men. It seemed that it had nothing to do with their positions. Both of them lacked exercise. After the hood was taken off. It took them a few seconds to adjust to the bright light around them. Then, a stern face appeared in front of them. This face was really killer. If you say he is not a killer, then he must be an actor who specializes in playing killers.
Gambler hadn't worn Qian Ming's assassin attire for many years, and the black clothes and hood still fit him so well.
"Before you die, you can take one more look at this city." Gambling Snake's tone was cold. It seems to be pronouncing a righteous judgment: "Finally, take a look at this landscape that will soon be without you."
"Uh... 婷嗷婷婷... Oh if... 婷." The governor was sweating profusely, his eyes were full of panic, and he was talking indistinctly with his blocked mouth.
"He said, don't kill me. I'll give you whatever money you want." Voices came from behind the two men.
The governor and the general looked back and saw a black man dressed in the same attire as Gambler. There is nothing out of place when Spayton wears this outfit.
"Can you understand this?" Gambler asked.
"I've learned kenny," Spayton said.
Gambler was stunned for two seconds: "What?"
"Hahaha... I'm just joking. Forget it if you don't understand." He took a step forward, walked to the middle of the two stools, lifted the two fat men up with one hand in each hand, and threw them and the chairs towards the railing of the rooftop. Got out.
The moment they flew out, the governor and the general noticed that in addition to the hemp ropes binding their bodies, there was also a noose around their necks.
Without much struggle, the two obese corpses were hung on the outer wall of the building and stopped moving.
"I started to like Qian Ming's job, killing some scum and then hanging the bodies in public places. Hiding the merits and fame, and dusting them off when the matter is over." Spayton said with a smile: "To be honest, assassination The job is much easier than what I’ve done at other organizations.”
"Your assassination skills can only be considered to be inferior, similar to those of apprentices in the organization." Gambling Snake said: "It's just that your ability to turn off the lights and your melee level are more suitable for assassination missions."
"Hmm..." This was the first time Spayton heard the term "lights out": "It seems we have to take some time to talk about what movies and TV shows we usually watch."
"Let's go, brothers are still waiting for us to meet up." Gambling Snake turned around and said, "They are secretly competing with Silver Shadow's killers."
"Don't you think it's quite tragic for us? After leaving the reverse cross, we still opened the way for Tianyi's plan in Qian Mingli." Speiton spread his hands: "I always feel like I have been automatically demoted."
"The cooperative relationship will be terminated after the war." Gambling Snake said: "Also, it is best not to mention the reverse cross. Boss Du Qiao has gradually realized the fact that he was deceived by the evil way. Now the deal is done, and Qian Ming is also It’s hard to break the contract, so he’s holding back his anger.”
… …
Persian Gulf, seabed.
In the reverse cross submarine, Gu Ling was sitting in the shop, holding a pvp670 to watch various sets of pictures coming from Faao City.
Tianyi was sitting on the other side of the desk, reading comics and drinking coffee, not doing anything serious anyway.
"According to this progress, the submarine will be able to leave the sea in a few hours." Gu Ling said.
"Uh-huh..." Tianyi responded casually.
"What are your plans after flying to the Gate of God?" Gu Ling said: "There is probably a battlefield there."
"Then it depends on whether the portal is open. If it is open... nothing can be said." Tianyi replied.
"Although I don't know much about your abilities, I think it's more than enough for you to go on a killing spree by yourself. Why would you take other people in the organization to take risks?" Gu Ling asked.
"I'm not taking you there, why are you asking so much?"
"Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will die there?" Gu Ling asked.
Tianyi looked away from the comic and lowered it slightly. Gu Ling could see his eyes and suddenly said something that was unclear whether it was a question or a conclusion: "You like me."
Gu Ling didn't have much reaction after hearing this. She still said in a calm tone: "Did my brother tell you?"
"I said I did, but I'm not sure. But now I kind of believe it."
Gu Ling's response was calm: "I admit that I am a little curious and a little concerned about you, but I don't think that is what you call 'like'."
"Hmm..." Tianyi thought for a few seconds: "How about we get married?"
Gu Ling only listened to this as a joke: "This is very interesting. I thought that men would have to invest a lot of time, energy, wealth and emotions before raising this kind of question. I didn't expect you to simplify things to this point."
"Romance is just an emotional formality. Getting married is not as fast as finding a like-minded person with the same values." Tianyi replied.
"Then thank you in advance, but I disagree with your point of view." Gu Ling shrugged. Return your attention to the player screen.
"Now that we've talked about this topic..." Tianyi said, "Your brother makes me very worried."
"His use value is almost over, what do you have to worry about." Gu Ling replied without raising her head: "Besides, I don't think he is the kind of person who will become stupid because of falling in love."
"No, no, no... I've seen this kind of thing a lot." Tianyi shook his head and said, "That's how life is, when a boy meets a girl. The boy becomes a stupid donkey, and they live a stupid life together from then on."
"Then what do you want? Do you want me to tell him, brother, the love between children is long and the hero is short of breath? After helping that caffeine-addicted lunatic achieve his goal, you can fall in love again." Gu Ling said sarcastically.
"It would be best if you could say it like this." Tianyi's answer was indeed so shameless.
"Haha... After you 'selflessly' proposed a plan to help me solve my marriage issues, you said such selfish words again, which was really beyond my expectation." Gu Ling sarcastically mocked Tianyi. You can see clearly, talk to this person properly. It is also in vain.
"Tch...you won't listen to my advice." Tianyi picked up the comic again.
… …
Dusk fell on Faao, and the smoke in the city had not yet cleared. Another change occurred in the bay.
A black submarine broke out of the sea like a sharp sword and headed into the sky. The port's sea defense facilities still exist. But soldiers and officers were off to respond to emergencies in the city, leaving few troops behind.
The submarine slowly rose into the air very smoothly, and its propulsion power was converted into the form of an armored shuttle, and it began to move towards the Samavo Desert.
This news quickly spread throughout the empire's intelligence network, and various high-level departments in Tiandu speculated that the madmen of the Reverse Cross would finally appear on the frontal battlefield in public
But there was one person who realized something, something that others never thought of.
That night, Tang Xian in Elephant Castle received an urgent communication.
The voice of His Highness the Seventh Prince rang on the other end of the phone: "Director Tang, can you hear my voice?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Tang Xian replied respectfully.
"Do you have a map handy?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I am watching."
"I think Steel Commandment... no, it should be said to be Cesare Balmond himself. His purpose may have nothing to do with war." Krauser said: "The Ark is not here to tear apart the Middle East defense line or occupy the bridgehead."
"Then... In His Highness' opinion..." Tang Xian said doubtfully.
"There is something in that desert. It may be a certain relic that Counter Cross has been looking for, or super-era technology related to unknown material A, or anything you can imagine that changes the world." Krauser said: "No matter what it is, the reverse cross has already set off, and they are also heading for that." He paused: "I just want to remind you that no matter what happened there, it is top secret. , in order to keep it secret... If necessary, except for high-level ability users and trustworthy officers above the school level, everyone else can be sacrificed... I can posthumously recognize all of them as martyrs, but I will never tolerate any living person leaking the information."
