Phantom fell silent for a while, before replying, "Fine! I'll tell you! "
Yue Zhong casually tossed the antidote to Phantom.
After swallowing the antidote, Phantom took a sniff, confirming the authenticity of the antidote, before swallowing it down. She then looked at Yue Zhong and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Yue Zhong swept a glance at the villagers, "All of them! All the information you have on the Capital! "
Phantom sighed, and began to explain the situation, "His Majesty has already become a demon …"
The Emperor of Cloud Region, Wei Ming Qing, had massacred over a million commoners in the Capital, using their blood to brew blood honey. This crazy act caused everyone in the Capital to be on tenterhooks.
Some of the more open-minded and humane nobles tried to reprimand Wei Ming Qing, but in the end, they were all captured by Wei Ming Qing's troops and thrown into the Blood Bees, where they were sucked to death. Their women were also reduced to slaves and distributed to Wei Ming Qing's subordinates.
Seeing this, no one dared to persuade Wei Ming Qing. In front of Wei Ming Qing, they all put on an obedient front. However, behind their backs, there was an undercurrent of unrest.
After all, among the millions of poor people around the Capital, many of the nobles had their own agents. They were able to obtain cheap and plentiful manpower from the poor people.
With a million commoners being massacred, many of the nobles had suffered huge losses. At the same time, Wei Ming Qing's actions had caused other than a few of his loyal supporters, everyone else was terrified. They were afraid that they would be sacrificed to Wei Ming Qing if they were not careful.
Not long ago, the nobles of the Capital were still allowed to leave. At that time, many of the commoners and nobles had used all sorts of excuses to leave the Capital, which reeked of blood.
When Wei Ming Qing discovered that many of them were trying to leave the Capital, he was enraged and ordered for the gates to be closed. Other than his own troops, no one else was allowed to enter or leave.
The moment this order was passed down, the gates of the Capital were shut, and no one was allowed to leave. However, this caused an even greater panic in the city. Rumors spread everywhere, saying that Wei Ming Qing was going to slaughter everyone in the city to help him break through his bottleneck and reach Type 6.
While the rumors were spreading, the secret agents and soldiers in the city were sent out one after another, capturing all the gossipers and throwing them into the swarm of Blood-Sucking Bees. Every day, there would be many deaths in the capital, causing the hearts of the people to tremble.
There were also some nobles who organized forces to resist Wei Ming Qing's tyranny, but as soon as they made a move, Wei Ming Qing sent troops to annihilate them. They couldn't cause much of a stir.
The strongest military force of the Capital, the City Guards, was under Wei Ming Qing's control. This was also the reason why he could slaughter millions of citizens without fear.
At the same time, the defense of the city gates had caused many to lose all hope of escaping from the gates.
The main gate of the Capital was filled with firepower, as well as a shocking number of scanning systems. With so many scanning systems, even a Type 6 powerhouse would not be able to sneak past them and enter the city.
Yue Zhong asked curiously, "Then how did you get out?"
Phantom replied slowly, "I made use of an opportunity to leave the Capital on a mission. After that, I never returned."
Yue Zhong frowned when he heard this. Based on what Phantom said, there was no way for him to sneak into the Capital.
Yue Zhong frowned as he thought, "Do I have to disguise as a commoner and sneak in?"
Sneaking into the convoy and sneaking into the Capital, this was one of his plans. However, it was not easy to control. Once the people inside discovered his true identity, his outcome would be terrible.
Phantom looked at Yue Zhong and suddenly asked, "You want to go in?"
"That's right!"
Phantom suddenly replied, "The general guarding the Capital is called Wei Shou, and he's from the royal family. He's extremely loyal to Wei Ming Qing. However, within the Capital, there were still the North, South, East and West City Guards. Each of them was led by a member of a noble clan, and they wielded quite a bit of power within the city. After Wei Ming Qing gave the order to seal the city, there was a rift between them. As long as some time passes, there might be internal strife. "
Yue Zhong shook his head, "After some time? What I lack the most now is time. "
After reaching the Type 5 realm, Yue Zhong could sense that he was currently in the middle of a huge whirlpool. If he did not advance, he would be pushed back. If he was not careful, he might be crushed by the whirlpool.
At this time, 6 middle-aged men and women walked out from the group of survivors and asked carefully, "Xiao Ying, where should we go next?"
When Phantom heard this, she frowned and fell into deep thought. She was a top-notch assassin, and had even assassinated a Type 5 powerhouse before. However, she had always been a lone ranger, and had no experience in leading others. Thus, she was at a loss.
As Yue Zhong was deep in thought, the watch-like communication device on his right hand vibrated. He quickly turned it on, and Han Qiong's face appeared on the screen.
Han Qiong spoke, "Leader, our soldiers have found out that Evergreen City, Greatwood City and Yong City are currently lacking in manpower. I suggest that we move out to take control of these 3 cities, and bring them under our control. At the same time, we can use them to train our soldiers, allowing them to become more proficient in battle. "
Yue Zhong looked at Han Qiong with appreciation and asked, "Is our current strength enough to support this battle?"
Han Qiong's determination was rare among Yue Zhong's subordinates. All along, Yue Zhong's performance had been too dazzling, and many of his subordinates had developed the habit of listening to his orders. The moment he left, they would feel uncomfortable, and tend to be more conservative.
Han Qiong, on the other hand, was full of vigor and determination. Even when Yue Zhong was not around, she was still willing to take risks and attack.
Han Qiong replied, "Sure, Blood Red City has a 100 Xue Luo Guards, the original City Guards, as well as the temporary security officers that we've recruited from the commoners. It should be enough to maintain order. Evergreen City is weak, as long as 300 Xue Luo Guards, 500 soldiers, and 5 Reapers can be taken down. As for Greatwood City and Yong City, I will gather my forces and take them down one by one. These 3 cities are rich in resources and light industries. If we can take them down, it will be beneficial to us. "
Yue Zhong agreed with satisfaction, "Then let's do it!"
In fact, Yue Zhong had 10,000 elite Xue Luo Guards. If he was in Blood Red City, he would have swept through the surrounding cities as well, bringing them under his control. However, due to the premonition of danger, he had come to the Capital. If he wanted to do something, at the very least, he had to get his hands on some of the technology in the Capital.
Han Qiong replied valiantly, "Yes!"
The environment shaped a person, and after growing up in the military, Han Qiong was becoming more and more like an outstanding soldier.
Phantom watched quietly from the side, hesitating for a while. When they were done, she came up to Yue Zhong and asked, "Yue Zhong, are you really the leader of the Northwest Resistance?"
Yue Zhong eyed her and replied, "That's right!"
Phantom pondered for a while before asking carefully, "Is your faction strong in the Northwest?"
Yue Zhong chuckled, "8 of the Xue Luo 20 Forts are already under my control. Blood Red City is also one of my territories. Evergreen City, Colossal Wood City, and Yong City will all be in my bag. There aren't many that are a match for me in the Northwest. "
Phantom heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that, "Yue Zhong, I want to bring my people to join you, is that possible?"
Phantom's combat strength was strong, but she had no leadership skills. The thought of having to worry about food and clothing for the 200 people in the village gave her a headache. If she could join a large faction, her family and friends would be able to live more comfortably.
Yue Zhong replied, "Sure! However, I need your help to infiltrate the Capital with me. "
Phantom was strong, at the same time, she was familiar with the roads in the Capital. If he could gain her help, Yue Zhong's chances of survival would increase.
Phantom's face fell, as she exclaimed, "No way! The defenses of the Capital are tight, and there are countless scanning systems. Even the commoners would be scanned a few times to confirm their identities. There's no way to infiltrate. Furthermore, I need to escort my people to the Northwest. "
"Your villagers don't need to worry." Yue Zhong waved his hands, and 2 Reapers, 4 transport vehicles, and 2 trucks appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the armored troops that appeared out of thin air, all the villagers were shocked.
Phantom looked at the armored troops and could not help but ask curiously, "How did you do it?"
Phantom had seen many high-tech weapons in the Capital, but she had never seen something as miraculous as this.
Yue Zhong barked at the 2 Reapers, "No. 1, No. 2, lower your heads!"
The eyes of the 2 Reapers flashed, as they lowered their heads.
Yue Zhong eyed Phantom, "They're in charge of escorting your villagers. Is that fine? In terms of positioning and defense, they should be stronger than you! "
Phantom's strength was truly strong, however, it was mainly in assassination. She was not a match for Yue Zhong in a direct confrontation, much less the Reapers.
Yue Zhong snapped his fingers, and the doors at the back of the trucks opened up, revealing the abundant supplies inside: "It's much better for them to sit in the vehicles than to walk, and I've prepared plenty of food for them. As long as you agree to help me, they can easily reach Blood Red City. "
Phantom gritted her teeth, "What if I don't agree?"
Yue Zhong stared fixedly at her, his gaze sweeping across the villagers behind her, his voice turning low, "Entering the Capital is extremely important to me."
Phantom's heart turned cold. She was extremely clear that Yue Zhong was an overlord, and would not hesitate to do things. If she did not agree, the villagers behind her would become Yue Zhong's bargaining chips.
Phantom gritted her teeth, "Fine! I agree to infiltrate the Capital with you. However, you must ensure their safety!! "
Yue Zhong nodded, "Fine!"
Not long after, the fleet of vehicles with 2 Reapers sped off into the distance.
The entire convoy was controlled by White Shirt, an artificial intelligence. Even if they encountered enemies they could not defeat, they could avoid them in advance. They were much stronger than the rookie bodyguard, Phantom.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the fleet leave, Phantom followed behind Yue Zhong quietly.
On the other side, in Blood Red City, after Han Qiong obtained Yue Zhong's approval, she quickly sent out Shao Yun to lead an army to attack Evergreen City. At the same time, she mobilized 3,000 Xue Luo Guards, as well as 1,500 ordinary soldiers to attack Greatwood City personally.
Shao Yun and the rest rode on enhanced motorcycles, with 4 235mm cannons behind them. 10 Reapers soon appeared outside Evergreen City.
Shao Yun sat on top of a command vehicle, looking at the elite soldiers on the motorcycles, his eyes flashing with joy, "Finally! I can finally lead an army by myself and become a general! This feeling is great!! My choice at that time was right, if I had stayed in Shao Village, I would have become food for the Mutant Beasts. "
One adjutant came up to Shao Yun and asked, "Commander, we've arrived at Evergreen City, what's our next step?"
Shao Yun was slightly nervous as he gave the order, "First, use the cannons to blast the city walls, after tearing them apart, order the 1st Battalion to attack."
Shao Yun was not a soldier, and had no experience in sieging a city. He could only give such an order because of the detailed plan that had been discussed beforehand.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving Shao Yun's order, the four 235mm Heavy Siege Cannons were pushed to the front and started firing.
Hong!! Hong! Hong!
Under Bai Yi's precise calibration, the four 235mm heavy energy cannons landed on the walls of Evergreen City. Following a series of earth-shattering explosions, four large holes appeared on the walls of Evergreen City.
In Cloud Region, the main purpose of the city walls was to defend against Mutant Beast hordes, and not to defend against humans. Other than the 20 Xue Luo Forts, only the Imperial Capital and the other Forts with energy shields could defend against the cannons.
"Attack!!"
After 4 rounds, the 4 cannons stopped firing, and a mixed group of Xue Luo Guards and ordinary soldiers began their assault on one of the holes under the cover of 5 Reapers. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
