Stronghold 144 in the Northwest. Late at night.
The current strongholds in the Northwest were no longer differentiated between refugees and stronghold residents. The gates were no longer closed at night. Although this would increase the workload of the garrison troops, no one would say anything if Commander Zhang insisted on doing so.
Some people were worried that this open-door policy would lead to a large number of Wang Clan and Kyung Clan spies pouring into the Northwest. However, Big Bluff and the others were not worried because they had Wang Yun with them.
In just half a month, Wang Yun had plowed through more than 70 spies in Stronghold 144. Six of them were from the Kyung Clan, while the rest were from the Wang Clan.
It was expected that the Wang Clan would send spies here, but it was a little surprising that there were so few spies from the Kyung Clan.
After all, the Kyung Clan had a lot of kamikaze warriors, and Qing Zhen had made arrangements in advance. Therefore, during the Southwest War, the Kyung Clan's intelligence warfare, infiltration, and assassinations were a headache for all the enemies.
Now that the Kyung Clan had only planted so few spies in the Northwest, how could they not be surprised?
In the end, everyone felt that this might also have something to do with the Young Marshal. As the two clans were too close, the Kyung Clan was too embarrassed to send too many spies. As such, they did not set each other up as imaginary enemies.
At this moment, Big Bluff quietly left Stronghold 144 and headed to the military camp outside the stronghold.
When they arrived at the conference room in the military camp, Wang Yun, Ji Zi 'ang, P5092, Zhang Xiaoman, and the others were already gathered there.
As soon as Big Bluff entered, everyone's eyes locked onto him. Wang Yun said, "Hurry up and tell me, where did the Young Marshal go?"
"Y 'all called me here in the middle of the night just to ask about this?" Big Bluff was stunned.
Wang Yun sneered, "Your pupils are starting to contract, and the ratio is roughly the same as when you tricked me. Also, the changes in the wrinkles around your eyes are the same. Don't try to lie, I'm watching you."
"Actually, you guys are also the core figures of our Northwest Army, so there's no harm in telling you." Big Bluff said, "Young Marshal has gone to complete his plan to prosper the Northwest 3.0."
“3.0？”
Everyone's eyes lit up. Was it really that interesting?
P5092 analyzed, "The Young Marshal was inspecting the outpost with Commander Zhang. But today, Commander Zhang suddenly appeared at Stronghold 144 to inspect the water conservancy construction, while the Young Marshal was nowhere to be seen. So does that mean the Young Marshal has gone somewhere other than the Northwest?"
"Yes." Big Bluff sighed and said, "When he and Commander Zhang were leaving the outpost, they were ambushed by the warlocks. Before the battle started, he discovered the enemy's tracks and told Commander Zhang to leave first. When we returned to the battlefield eight hours later, we saw the word '3'. The commander was certain that this meant 'Prosper the Northwest 3.0'. Wang Fengyuan checked the traces at the scene and said the Young Marshal was taken away by someone. But actually, we weren't too worried about him …. "
Big Bluff paused for a moment before saying, "Y 'all should know what kind of person the Young Marshal is. Since he still had the mood to leave that word, it means the warlocks around him are in a much more dangerous situation than he is."
"I think the Young Marshal found an opportunity after encountering the enemy." Wang Yun said, "Recently, the Young Marshal's maidservant and Young Marshal's wife have both disappeared without a trace. Could they have already found out the truth and left quietly?"
"That's right." Big Bluff smiled bitterly. The scene of Yang Xiaojin lying to him was still vivid in his mind. He had always been the one lying to others over the years, but this was the first time he had been tricked by someone else.
"Then what should we do now?" Wang Yun looked at the others.
"Do you even need to ask?" Zhang Xiaoman got excited. "Of course we'll fight our way over there together. Our people from Fortress 178 have always dreamed of launching a counterattack since we were young. Now that the Young Marshal has taken the lead, shouldn't we hurry up and seize the opportunity?!"
P5092 also nodded. "Now that the Wang Clan is facing a formidable enemy, we need to get rid of the threat at the rear before the Wang Clan completely reunifies the Central Plains. If we attack from both the front and back, the Northwest will really be in danger. So I also suggest we take advantage of the Young Marshal's trip to that foreign country to get rid of them once and for all. "
Big Bluff was taken aback. "Although I'm not worried that anything will happen to the Young Marshal, everyone shouldn't be so optimistic, right? Why does it feel like we're going to wipe out that group of warlocks?"
Wang Yun was also taken aback. "Are you doubting the Young Marshal's ability?"
Big Bluff's face darkened. "Get lost, stop trying to set me up. When have I ever doubted the Young Marshal's ability? Alright, let's talk about who's going. "
"Me, me, me!" Zhang Xiaoman was the first to raise his hand.
Wang Yun said with a smile, "How can you leave me out of this?"
P5092 said, "I need to understand their military intelligence. Seeing is believing."
Ji Zi 'Ang smiled. "I think my combat prowess is pretty good. I should be able to help everyone."
Then everyone turned their eyes to the fair fatty, Xun Yeyu, who had not said a word at the end of the table. "Aren't you going?"
Xun Yeyu had been huddled in a corner and did not dare to say anything. He was as quiet as a quail.
He had been sleeping when Wang Yun pulled him over. He could not figure out what was going on even after a long time. It was only now that he understood. So they were going to go to a foreign country together … and start a massacre?
Big Bluff looked at Xun Yeyu. "Aren't you going? Do you think you're not a part of our group? Then I think … "
Xun Yeyu said aggrievedly, "I didn't say I'm not going. I'll go, alright? But I don't have much combat power, so you guys have to protect me!"
"Do you think the few of us are not strong enough to protect you?" Big Bluff raised his eyebrows.
Xun Yeyu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes …"
"Alright, it's settled then." Zhang Xiaoman said in high spirits, "Let's set off right away and trample the Shaman Empire to the ground!"
"No, you stay behind and look after the house," Big Bluff said to Zhang Xiaoman.
"Why?" Zhang Xiaoman got anxious. "All of you are going out to play, so why should I stay behind?"
"Because you're not a supernatural being." Wang Yun also agreed with Big Bluff's suggestion. "If you're not a supernatural being, you might very well die in such a dangerous place. So there's no need for you to take the risk. Besides, the Northwest is developing rapidly now, so it won't do if you don't have someone at home."
"Then I can't do it alone." Zhang Xiaoman muttered, "I can't handle everyone by myself."
"There's Wang Yuexi in charge of internal affairs, so what's there to be afraid of?" Big Bluff said, "As for external enemies … P5092, you can appoint someone to manage the troops."
"Black Fox." P5092 said, "He used to be my adjutant and came back with us from the grasslands this time. I trust his ability to lead troops. It just so happens that we're currently in the run-in period for the new troops and the induction period for the new recruits. He's the best at these kinds of military affairs, but I'm not familiar with these details."
Black Fox was different from P5092. P5092 kept his serial number, while Black Fox chose a new code name to express his separation from his past self.
"Alright." Wang Yun stood up. "Then let's set off right away. We'll circle around the outpost from Ramhorn Ridge and head straight for the Shaman Empire!"
