Hearing Wang Xiao's words, Jiangzhou couldn't help but frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation?"
Wang Xiao immediately replied: "I recently heard a rumor that after Bai Hongbo was assassinated, District 1 has been in contact with Bana City. In addition, earlier today, Bana City has been asking our armed forces to enter the city. I think this is not right. So, I have already led my men to withdraw from Bana City."
Jiangzhou was stunned, and then immediately asked: "Have you withdrawn?"
"Yes!" Wang Xiao said confidently, "I just used the excuse of mobilizing troops to bring my family with me and secretly evacuated Bana City."
Jiang Zhou was a little confused when he suddenly received this news. He calmed down, thought for a while and asked again: "Didn't you say hello to Bana City?"
Wang Xiao replied as a matter of course: "How can I say hello? There are so many of us. If we reveal our whereabouts, then if the other party really has second thoughts, they will definitely trap us in the circle and won't give us a chance to withdraw!"
Jiang Zhou raised his eyebrows: "You left so suddenly, it would only make the situation in Longcheng and Bana City more tense. So many people left rashly without even saying hello, is this appropriate?! What does it mean? "
Wang Xiao also said sincerely: "Mr. Jiang, you don't understand the situation in Bana City at all. They must have new ideas. In this matter, I can't bet on whether he is a human or a ghost. If the situation gets tense, we Chinese will probably be killed by them as a token of our loyalty! Tens of thousands of people including their families?! I can only use the safest way to deal with it!"
Jiang Zhou loosened his collar and said in a low voice: "Then why couldn't you tell me in advance?"
Wang Xiao immediately said, "Mr. Jiang, you can't blame me for this. They didn't give me much time to choose. They issued the transfer order in the afternoon, and then the Blackwater Army also began to move. I also called you, but the call didn't go through. I really have no choice. With so many lives in my hands, I can only choose to retreat. I can't... Watch the incident in Shengbao City happen again in Bana City!"
Jiangzhou naturally knew what he was implying, so he chose to remain silent.
Wang Xiao took a breath and continued, "Mr. Jiang, I guess you will receive the news from Bana City soon. Then you will know whether my early retreat this time is correct or not."
Jiangzhou suppressed his anger and asked, "Which direction are you going now?"
Wang Xiao replied: "Now... we can only go to Dragon City."
Jiangzhou thought for a moment and said, "I see. I'll contact Longcheng."
Wang Xiao immediately said: "Okay, I'll wait for your news!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhou leaned back in his chair, feeling increasingly exhausted, and pinched his brows. The Wang family's decision to act first and then report to the police did make him a little unhappy, but if it was really as Wang Xiao said, Bana City was indeed in danger.
After thinking it over again and again, Jiangzhou picked up the phone and dialed a number.
…
At the same time, on the long highway, a convoy that stretched as far as the eye could see was speeding along the highway.
It was already late at night. The convoy turned on its headlights, lighting up the entire road. Yellow sand was rolling around, and the wheels of the convoy kicked it up, forming a large cloud of smoke.
The convoy was heading towards the Mexican army, taking the road behind Sri Lanka, which was relatively safe.
In one of the cars, Wang Xiao was sitting in the car. He just put down his phone and turned to ask his nephew Wang Zhengjun: "How is the situation of the fleet?"
Wang Zhengjun immediately said: "Everything is normal at the moment. According to the response from the reconnaissance team, the road ahead is clear as well."
"Yeah." Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Soon after, Wang Zhengjun received a call. He said a few words to the other party, then turned to Wang Xiao and said, "Uncle, there is news from Bana City."
"Yeah." Wang Xiao nodded, took the phone and put it to his ear: "Go ahead."
A man's voice came from the phone, and he said with a somewhat fortunate tone: "Brigade Commander, you are still foresighted. Our people had just withdrawn from the garrison, and the Blackwater Army sent three regiments over. Fortunately, we escaped quickly, otherwise we would have been blocked!"
Wang Xiao had a blank expression on his face: "Okay, I understand."
"good."
The two ended the call, and Wang Xiao returned the phone to Wang Zhengjun, and instructed: "Xiaojun, notify our troops to protect their families. When we pass Sri Lanka, don't stop and drive directly to Longcheng."
"Yes!" Wang Zhengjun saluted, picked up the walkie-talkie in the car, and began to speak to his subordinates.
Wang Xiao's troops, as the armed force of the Huatong Society, had been stationed outside the city of Bana. Bruna specially divided two small towns for them to live in.
During this period, their families also lived here together, totaling tens of thousands of people.
The withdrawal of such a large group of people meant that the marching speed was very slow.
In fact, before this, Wang Xiao had applied to Su Tianyu for permission to move to Longcheng. After the military situation suddenly became tense, his wish was fulfilled.
…
11pm, Longcheng City Hall.
After receiving Zhao Weihu's call, Li Mingsheng immediately communicated with An Zecheng.
The An faction immediately launched an operation, sending three regiments to clear the passage to Sri Lanka and ensure the smooth flow of related supply lines. However, there was no response from Bana City.
A few hours later, Li Yuan walked into the office and reported to Li Mingsheng: "Leader, there is news from Bana City."
Li Mingsheng raised his head and said, "Speak!"
Li Yuan said with a serious expression: "Bana City claimed that they found military movements in Jia City and Li City. Pirates and the armed forces of the Warhammer Legion were gathering, which posed a serious threat to the security of the canal and surrounding areas of Bana City. They have no way to withdraw troops to clear the supply line between us, and even asked Longcheng or Sri Lanka to support them and send troops to clear the connecting channel."
Li Mingsheng frowned and asked, "Who is the source of the information? Boang or Bruna?"
Li Yuan shook his head: "Neither, the source of the information is the Blackwater Corps' General Staff."
Li Mingsheng fell into deep thought. For such an important matter, it was not Bruna or Boang who contacted him, but only a general staff officer. This made him feel a little uneasy.
After a long silence, Li Mingsheng picked up his phone and called An Zecheng.
…
At 11:15 in the evening, several military vehicles stopped in front of the City Hall, and An Zecheng got out of the vehicles with a dozen guards.
After receiving Li Mingsheng's call, An Zecheng rushed here without stopping. The group quickly went upstairs and arrived in front of the mayor's office.
After walking into the office alone, An Zecheng saw Li Mingsheng was on the phone, so he didn't disturb him and sat on the sofa beside him waiting.
Li Yuan came over and made him a cup of tea.
Soon, Li Mingsheng finished the call, and An Zecheng immediately put down his teacup and asked, "What's the situation over there?"
Li Mingsheng's face was solemn: "Something is wrong in Bana City, and the Wang family withdrew in advance and are moving closer to Longcheng. They also insist that there are changes in Bana City."
An Zecheng pondered for a while, then slowly said, "It was the assassination of Bai Hongbo that led to the change in the situation in Bana City."
The two looked at each other with serious expressions.
Li Mingsheng suddenly whispered, "If the problem in Bana City is not solved, it will be a huge hidden danger."
