The Kyung Clan troops advanced forward in a tactical formation, but Ren Xiaosu still did not come out from behind the tree. He was waiting.
This place was still 500 meters away from the campsite behind him. However, Ren Xiaosu was not thinking of going back to look for reinforcements. After all, there was no one else in the campsite he could count on other than Chen Wudi.
Jiang Wu's students were more than happy to help him, but the problem was that those eight children were all intellectuals. They might not even be able to lift an automatic rifle.
The private army was full of such people, so how could he count on them?
However, what Ren Xiaosu was waiting for was for the Kyung Clan to advance a little further!
When the Kyung Clan troops stepped into the range of the Brambles, Ren Xiaosu was not in a hurry to control the Brambles to launch an attack. Instead, he quietly waited for the entire platoon to come in.
Other than the part of the Brambles that had sprouted from the snow that Ren Xiaosu had dug up, the rest of the Brambles were covered in a thick layer of snow.
But when the Kyung Clan troops stepped into the area, someone realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute, I think I stepped on something."
Someone squatted down and dug up the snow to reveal the Brambles on the ground. "These scarlet Brambles are a little strange. I've never seen such a plant before."
"There are more and more strange plants these days, so there's nothing to be surprised about. Do you think they can attack people?" A soldier glanced at them and continued to keep a lookout for their surroundings.
However, the platoon commander frowned. "Something's not right. Stop advancing and retreat!"
Ren Xiaosu, who was hiding behind a tree dozens of meters away, was secretly surprised. He did not expect the Kyung Clan troops to be so cautious. Wasn't they being overly cautious? They were just plants in the wild!
What were they afraid of?!
Ren Xiaosu felt it was a pity that he did not manage to kill a single one of his enemies even though they had come knocking on his door.
However, what Ren Xiaosu did not know was that these troops were the elite troops sent by Hyeon Yoon to intercept the Divine Arms Battalion. They were famous throughout the entire Kyung Clan, and these were only the scouts at the outpost. The rest of the troops at the back were currently reorganizing themselves.
How could a unit that was confident of dealing a heavy blow to the Divine Arms nanosoldiers fall into a trap so easily?
If Ren Xiaosu had not crippled the Potato Shooter himself, he might have been able to test its might.
Suddenly, the platoon commander said from afar, "Friend, are you from the Li Consortium?"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he heard the voice. "Tang Zhou?!"
The other party was also stunned. "Ren Xiaosu?!
It would have been fine if he hadn't shouted, but the moment he did, it turned out to be an acquaintance?
Tang Zhou had driven Qing Zhen and Luo Lan back to Stronghold 111 in an off-road vehicle. As soon as they arrived at Stronghold 111, Qing Zhen and Luo Lan were placed under house arrest. Meanwhile, Tang Zhou was assigned to the frontline troops and reported directly to the forward operating base at Mt. Daping.
After he was assigned to Qing Yun, Qing Yun knew very well that he was Luo Lan's man, so he directly demoted him from Captain to Platoon Leader and sent him to this elite unit to be a scout.
Many of these troops were once Qing Zhen's soldiers. Qing Yun said that he wanted them to intercept the Divine Arms Battalion, but here came the problem. Even if they could intercept the Divine Arms Battalion here, how were they going to retreat after the battle was over?
After all, the entire front line of Mt. Fengyi, Mt. Shuanglong, and Mt. Tantou was where the Li Consortium's combat troops were stationed. Once the Divine Arms Battalion encountered a battle here, the entire Li Consortium would launch a frenzied counterattack against the Kyung Clan troops.
They may become heroes in the history of the Kyung Clan, but they will never be able to walk out of this mountain!
Therefore, after Qing Zhen seized power, he immediately sent Qing Yun's troops to the Li family's territory. In fact, everyone was doing the same thing: eliminating dissidents.
This was not to say that it was cruel to do so, but that war was cruel to begin with. If the military leader could not maintain control over the troops, they would not be able to win this war.
At this moment, Tang Zhou was still unaware that Qing Zhen had already seized power. When they left the stronghold, Qing Yun did not even give them a satellite phone or a communications radio. That was why when Qing Zhen asked if he could recall this platoon, his deputy commander said, "It's too late."
Back at Stronghold 109, Ren Xiaosu and Tang Zhou had a pretty good relationship. Moreover, Tang Zhou had also helped everyone a lot. So since it was Tang Zhou, there was immediately a chance for the situation to be resolved.
Speaking of which, Ren Xiaosu was wondering why this platoon was so difficult to deal with. Just a few Brambles were enough to attract their attention. But now that he was one of Luo Lan's and Qing Zhen's troops, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt like he could "understand" why they were doing this.
His impression was that Qing Zhen and Luo Lan's subordinates were all elite troops, and none of them were cowards.
Ren Xiaosu shouted, "Come over here alone and have a chat with us!"
He did not dare to go over. After all, Tang Zhou was not the only one there. What if the others started shooting at him?
When Tang Zhou heard this, he was about to step over the Brambles and walk towards Ren Xiaosu. Someone next to him whispered, "Platoon Commander, you can't go over! What if they're trying to trick you? "
Tang Zhou shook his head. "Don't worry, we're old friends."
"Old friends can change." Someone anxiously reminded him, "Don't trust him so easily."
Tang Zhou smiled. "Don't worry, I trust him. Didn't I tell you guys that someone saved me and Boss Luo when Stronghold 113 collapsed? He was the one who saved us. He's also good friends with Boss Luo … uh, I don't know if he's considered a good friend."
Everyone around them was stunned. This turn of events was a little too much for them to handle. So the other party had saved Tang Zhou before? But the question was, why was he here? Why was he squatting in the snow alone in the middle of the night? Was he playing in the snow?
Tang Zhou carefully avoided the Brambles and walked towards the tree where Ren Xiaosu was. Ren Xiaosu sighed. It felt pretty good to be trusted by others.
Tang Zhou actually dared to come here alone!
"Long time no see. What are you doing here?" Tang Zhou walked behind the tree and saw Ren Xiaosu standing there. He was amused. "Are you wearing the uniform of the Divine Arms Battalion?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "Sit down and talk."
Tang Zhou and Ren Xiaosu sat cross-legged in the snow. Tang Zhou set his gun aside. "Did you join the Li Consortium?"
"Join, my ass." Ren Xiaosu said, "I escaped with the refugees from Stronghold 109, but I ended up being conscripted into the military."
"Hahaha." Tang Zhou laughed. "But you're not as miserable as me. I was sent here to die."
"Die?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "What do you mean?"
"Someone called Qing Yun is in charge of the military right now. Mr. Qing Zhen and Boss Luo are under house arrest in Stronghold 111's villa. I was immediately demoted as soon as I became Qing Yun's subordinate. Furthermore, he even placed many of Mr. Qing Zhen's former subordinates into this unit so that we can intercept your Divine Arms Battalion."
Ren Xiaosu had a strange expression on his face. "Then y 'all are in the wrong place. This isn't the Divine Arms Battalion. It's the private army."
