After the two sides agreed on a time to meet the next day, they parted ways. After the incident with the Brambles in the private troops' barracks, some people did not even dare to leave their tents.
Even if they were to starve, they were unwilling to go out to look for food.
At this moment, a thick layer of snow covered the entire ground. They had no idea where the Brambles were buried in the snow. If they took a wrong step, they would die without a burial site.
However, this was exactly what Ren Xiaosu wanted. It would make it easier for him to act alone.
On the same night, when Ren Xiaosu went to see Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou said ecstatically, "Boss Luo and Mr. Qing Zhen have successfully seized power in the military. They're the ones calling the shots in the military now!"
Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Didn't you say they were under house arrest in Stronghold 111?"
"It's like this." Tang Zhou explained, "Boss Luo and the others were sent to the front lines as military advisors. After that, they killed Qing Yun and became the Kyung Clan's commanding officer at the front lines."
Ren Xiaosu was shocked. "That works too? Isn't anyone going to control them? "
"If the Kyung Clan were to be replaced at this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to fight the war anymore." Tang Zhou analyzed, "If the Yang Clan and the Li Consortium take advantage of this, the entire Kyung Clan will be in danger."
"Alright then." Ren Xiaosu felt that Qing Zhen probably only dared to act so recklessly because he saw this opportunity. However, this Qing Zhen … was really ruthless.
Tang Zhou said, "Mr. Qing Zhen has already agreed to cooperate with you. Their fighting forces have already entered the ambush site and are waiting for the Divine Arms Battalion. Moreover, Mr. Qing Zhen has expressed that he won't wipe out the Divine Arms Battalion and wishes us a smooth cooperation."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. Qing Zhen was still reliable. At least, he was better than the Qing Yun that Tang Zhou had mentioned. However, he said, "Don't be so hypocritical. Isn't the Kyung Clan going to give us something more substantial?"
Tang Zhou was stunned for a moment. "I didn't mention that, but I can tell Officer Qing Zhen. He's never a petty person."
"That's more like it." Ren Xiaosu beamed with joy.
However, Tang Zhou suddenly felt puzzled. "Why don't you let us finish off the Divine Arms Battalion? After all, you don't have much of a relationship with them. You were also forcibly recruited into the army."
Ren Xiaosu patiently explained, "I want to help the Yang Clan collect some samples of the Li Clan's nanomachines."
Tang Zhou seemed to have suddenly figured something out. He smiled ambiguously and said, "I see. When I left Stronghold 109, I already felt that your relationship with Yang Xiaojin wasn't ordinary. At that time, she even carried you behind her back. Speaking of which, why didn't you join the Yang Clan? Although you were conscripted, you still had a chance to leave, right? We received information that the Li Consortium didn't control them that strictly at the beginning."
Ren Xiaosu didn't explain too much and just let Tang Zhou guess …
How could Tang Zhou know he didn't go there because he didn't know where Stronghold 88 was?
…
The next day. This was the time when the Divine Arms Battalion was supposed to launch a blitzkrieg attack on the Kyung Clan. Even though the roads were sealed off by the heavy snow, the Divine Arms Battalion still continued on their way.
In the Divine Arms Battalion's opinion, they were here to launch a sneak attack.
Outsiders did not know how mobile the Divine Arms Battalion was, nor did they know how strong their physical fitness was after being enhanced by the nanomachines.
Therefore, no one could guess that they could continue on their way in the snow. This was the best opportunity for them to strike.
As the Divine Arms major led his team through the snow, he glanced at the GPS and said, "We'll be arriving at the Kyung Clan's supply camp in half a day. Everyone, be extremely careful. After we destroy the Kyung Clan's supply warehouse, we'll immediately retreat. We'll wait for the nanomachines to recharge before launching a sneak attack on their other combat troops!"
But just as he finished speaking, a loud explosion rang out in the distance. The Divine Arms major was stunned for a moment before he immediately shouted, "Retreat! Dodge the artillery fire! "
It had to be said that this Divine Arms major had a lot of combat experience. It only took him a moment to realize they had already been ambushed by the Kyung Clan, and that loud explosion was the sound of the Kyung Clan's artillery fire!
Moreover, the first thing he shouted was to retreat and not to lie down. This was because the Divine Arms Battalion was extremely mobile. If they retreated immediately, they would still have a chance of escaping the artillery fire's range. But if they lay down, they would only be waiting for death.
The Kyung Clan had come prepared. How could they possibly escape by just lying down?
But it was still too late.
The distant artillery fire sounded like firecrackers as it reverberated through the wilderness!
The snow around the Divine Arms soldiers kept cracking as artillery shells rained down on them like a plow. Qing Zhen had no intention of giving this group of Divine Arms soldiers a chance to get close.
The Divine Arms soldiers were flying through the wilderness. Some of them were even so fast that they could avoid the trajectory of the artillery shells in advance and avoid the maximum killing radius of the howitzers!
But there were just too many howitzers. With just a single round of artillery fire, more than half of the Divine Arms soldiers were already dead or injured!
Even though they had nanomachines, it did not mean they could withstand artillery fire!
When a 120-millimeter diameter howitzer loaded with 3.5 kilograms of TNT was fired, it would instantly crush all life within an eight-meter radius!
Furthermore, all the Divine Arms soldiers within a 25-meter radius of the howitzer would be hit by the huge explosive force and shrapnel, effectively killing them!
God had never given humans weapons, but humans had created their own swords that could kill gods.
Fortunately, the Divine Arms major was still alive. However, there was only despair in his heart. No matter how well-trained they were, they would not be able to withstand the Kyung Clan's preparations.
However, this Divine Arms major could not understand why the Kyung Clan had set up an ambush here so early on.
They had clearly been cautious enough. At first, they pretended to be heading in the direction of the Yang Clan's base before secretly changing their route. They had even swapped clothes and vehicles with the private troops.
After changing their identities, they did not have any interaction with any friendly troops. But in the end, they still got into an accident.
Where on earth did the news leak out?!
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, the Divine Arms major knew he was done for. Even his identity as a member of the Li Consortium could not protect him from this loss.
At this moment, Qing Zhen was standing in front of the Kyung Clan's base and looking calmly in the direction of the Divine Arms Battalion. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop."
The soldiers next to him did not ask much. This was clearly the time for them to follow up on their victory.
Moreover, Qing Zhen had specifically asked them to change the 152-millimeter caliber howitzers to 120-millimeter caliber ones. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like he was showing mercy. However, the soldiers who had followed Qing Zhen before would never question Qing Zhen's decision.
But no one understood how Qing Zhen knew the Divine Arms Battalion would be coming. Could Qing Zhen's spies have already infiltrated the Li Consortium? Even the most mysterious Divine Arms Battalion's whereabouts were known. This was too terrifying!
Suddenly, Qing Zhen smiled and said, "I reckon the Li Consortium hasn't fought in a war for too many years. They have a sharp weapon in their hands, but they don't know how to use it. They've really played their cards badly."
