The Kyung Clan's soldiers were all excited that they had just defeated the legendary Li Consortium's Divine Arms Battalion. But Qing Zhen immediately discovered during the ambush that the nanosoldiers were not that weak. If not for the timely news, the Li Consortium might have really caused them a lot of trouble.
Qing Zhen did not underestimate the Divine Arms Battalion's nanosoldiers. In fact, he took them very seriously.
Next to him, Qing Zhen's trusted officer asked, "Are you saying that the nanosoldiers shouldn't be used this way?"
Qing Zhen said, "If I were to have the nanosoldiers, I would have split them up and used them separately. The platoons would have split up and infiltrated through the wilderness. As long as the Li Consortium's intelligence personnel cooperate fully, the decapitation operation would have been a piece of cake."
The trusted officer nodded and said, "I see. Sir, you're really wise …"
Qing Zhen looked at him calmly. "I'm not telling you this so that you can flatter me. I'm just asking you to arrange more people to protect me."
"Huh?" The trusted officer was stunned. He could not understand why Qing Zhen said that.
Qing Zhen sighed and said, "The Yang Clan's nanosoldiers might be arriving soon. They're much smarter than the Li Consortium, so they'll strengthen their defenses immediately."
Qing Zhen looked at the snowy plains in the distance where the artillery fire had just plowed through. He suddenly wondered, "Why is he everywhere?"
The soldiers next to him were even more puzzled. Who was the commander talking about?
…
The atmosphere in the Li Consortium's command center was extremely depressing. A middle-aged general was sitting at the end of the long table in the command center with a cold and gloomy expression. The table was full of people, but no one spoke.
"The Divine Arms Battalion has suffered heavy losses." The middle-aged general said, "I just want to know why the Kyung Clan found out about our Divine Arms Battalion's operation in advance."
Still, no one spoke.
In fact, a lot of people were also wondering about this. The Divine Arms Battalion had to report back to the command center on a daily basis, such as the implementation of their battle plan and their location. Everything had been going smoothly until an accident happened when they were closest to the Kyung Clan.
Based on the Divine Arms Battalion's officer's description, the Kyung Clan clearly knew where the Divine Arms Battalion was headed. Hence, they set up an ambush in advance. Otherwise, the Kyung Clan would not have caused so many casualties.
All these years, the Li Consortium had been concealing their strength and biding their time. Now that the war had suddenly been launched, everyone had been looking forward to the performance of the Divine Arms Battalion. In the end, before the war had even started, the Divine Arms Battalion was almost wiped out!
Why? What went wrong?!
The middle-aged general looked at Nonsense, who was on his left. "There must have been a spy who leaked the information. As the Director of the Office of Special Investigations, you failed to find the spy in time. You have to bear the main responsibility for this. But now is not the time to punish you. Your Office of Special Investigations needs to be reorganized and made up for your mistakes. "
Nonsense didn't say anything. He just looked at the table in front of him calmly. To be honest, he was also very puzzled …
Although he had ulterior motives for staying in the Li Consortium, the work of the Office of Special Investigations had always been running normally. Espionage was the most crucial part of a war, and intelligence could sometimes even determine the outcome of a battle.
Over the past few days, Nonsense had gotten rid of quite a number of spies, but he had also left some behind to pave the way for his future plans.
Just because they were left behind did not mean he would leave them alone. These spies were still under the surveillance of the Office of Special Investigations and would be of great use to them.
However, none of these spies had access to the secrets of the Divine Arms Battalion.
Suddenly, someone said, "The private troops who swapped uniforms and vehicles with the Divine Arms Battalion have yet to arrive at their designated location. I suspect something might have gone wrong with them."
The middle-aged general frowned. "Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier?"
"An officer from the Divine Arms Battalion traveled with them and reported their whereabouts every day. However, contact was suddenly cut off yesterday," the officer said.
"Find these private troops immediately. We have to confirm their whereabouts within three days," the middle-aged general said.
"Yes, sir!" the officer replied.
The middle-aged general said, "Meeting adjourned. The strategic deployment must be in place as soon as possible. News of the Divine Arms Battalion's heavy losses will probably reach the Yang Clan very soon. We have to prepare for the counterattack from the Kyung Clan and the Yang Clan. General Hu, you stay behind. "
Everyone else dispersed. Only Nonsense remained seated and did not move. The middle-aged general said, "The leak of the Divine Arms Battalion's secret is of great importance. The spy might very well be in a high position. I'll give you three days. You must find out who the spy is!"
Nonsense looked up and said, "Alright."
The middle-aged general did not mention during the meeting that he suspected the spy was among those who had just attended the meeting. The reason he did not touch Nonsense now was that, as the director of the Office of Special Investigations, Nonsense had worked for the Li Consortium for decades and rarely made any mistakes. He had both meritorious contributions and hard work to his credit. Secondly, the current war was inseparable from Nonsense. If the director of the Office of Special Investigations were to be replaced at this time, there would probably be a lot of trouble in the future.
However, the middle-aged general might not have expected that the trouble would be caused by Nonsense.
…
Two days later, the instigator, Ren Xiaosu, was lying in ambush in the snow. Next to him was a dirt road that the Li Consortium had built at the last minute before the war.
After Qing Zhen repelled the Divine Arms Battalion, not only did he pass this information to Tang Zhou, but he also informed him of the Divine Arms Battalion's retreat route.
Based on this information, Ren Xiaosu deduced that the Divine Arms Battalion would likely pass through the road in front of them.
Now that the Divine Arms Battalion had suffered great losses, they would definitely retreat to the forward operating base at the rear to recuperate. This would be Ren Xiaosu's chance.
He did not ask Tang Zhou to take action with him. On the one hand, Tang Zhou and the others had too many people, so it would be easy for them to expose themselves. On the other hand, Ren Xiaosu did not want Tang Zhou to know what he was up to, as well as the real reason why he had left the Divine Arms Battalion behind.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it. The Divine Arms Battalion was already in a sorry state. The trump card he had left behind should be enough to deal with the remaining defeated soldiers, right?
All of a sudden, he heard the sound of someone stepping on the snow. Ren Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat. 'They're here!'
Ren Xiaosu hid in the thick snow by the side of the road and almost held his breath!
He had left a small hole in the snow to observe the outside world. However, the next moment, when Ren Xiaosu saw the Divine Arms soldiers, he was shocked!
He saw two Divine Arms soldiers limping over to where he was lying in ambush. Ren Xiaosu did not feel good at that moment. He had asked Qing Zhen to leave some Divine Arms soldiers behind, but in the end, Qing Zhen had left two for him?
Ren Xiaosu could not understand it at that moment. 'Why didn't you just leave one? Are you purposely trying to disgust me?
Huh? '
Ren Xiaosu had been lying in the snow for the past two days. There were probably not many people in this world who had the same perseverance as him.
But now, Ren Xiaosu realized that he had been lying there for nothing for the past two days?
No, that's not right. Ren Xiaosu felt that something unexpected must have happened. It was impossible for Qing Zhen to have only left these two Divine Arms soldiers behind.
