"Your superpower is definitely the ability to copy other people's superpowers," P5092 said firmly. He also believed in his judgment. "Let me think, who has a superpower similar to White Mask's … Xu Xianchu!"
Xu Xianchu was also considered a general in the Northwest. So even if the Pyro Company did not pay much attention to the Northwest, they would still know some information. As such, P5092 could immediately link Xu Xianchu's shadow to Ren Xiaosu's White Mask.
Ren Xiaosu asked calmly, "Have you ever thought that you know too much now?"
P5092 said, "Huh?"
Something didn't seem quite right.
Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Along the way, I've been discussing with you whether we should go to the Northwest. Now that you know so much, it looks like we definitely have to go to the Northwest."
Other than coming to Mt. Daniu to confirm if the Wang Clan was really taking the initiative to fight the enemy, Ren Xiaosu also wanted to show off his abilities so that P5092 would willingly go to the Northwest.
But since the other party was so smart, P5092 had no other choice but to go to the Northwest.
"You've narrowed the path," Ren Xiaosu lamented.
P5092 was speechless.
For some reason, he could even hear a hint of a threat in that statement.
After he quietly boarded the steam locomotive, Ren Xiaosu said, "You can be considered a military adviser in the Northwest now. Do you think the Northwest should join the war in the Central Plains this time?"
"That shouldn't be the case." P5092 shook his head. When it came to tactics and military matters, he immediately regained his usual calm. "Relatively speaking, without fully understanding the strength of the expeditionary army, Fortress 178 should be defending their original territory instead of rashly coming to the Central Plains."
"What do you mean?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"That's because the Northwest Army doesn't understand the geography of the Central Plains, nor have they fought here before. So if the expeditionary army is unstoppable, Fortress 178's troops stationed in the Northwest will also be preserving the seeds of hope for the people of the Central Plains." P5092 analyzed, "By the Central Plains, I mean the entire Barrier Alliance and the same people."
"But what if the entire Central Plains falls into enemy hands?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "Haven't you thought about how many people will die?"
"Then what if the main forces in the Northwest are ambushed by the barbarians when they arrive here? In the end, the Northwest will also fall into the enemy's hands?" P5092 countered, "So what Fortress 178 should do is defend the Northwest first. It's impossible for the expeditionary army to kill all of the people of the Central Plains. As long as there are still people holding on to their territory, there's still a chance for them in the future. But if all of them fall into enemy hands, it'll be very difficult for them to have any more hope."
Ren Xiaosu understood now. In P5092's opinion, if the Central Plains were gone, the Northwest would become humanity's new hope. They would have to think about how to survive first before discussing how to reclaim the lost territories.
It had to be said that P5092 placed the issue of the continuation of their race at the top of his mind. All of his strategies were to serve this purpose.
There was no right or wrong. It was just that after humanity was almost wiped out, an organization filled with obsession like the Pyro Company would be born.
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "See, you're even starting to think about the Northwest now. That's great."
P5092 said in seriousness, "Actually, up until this moment, I've always rejected the idea of invading the Northwest. It's just that I've failed to reject it …."
The steam locomotive rumbled its way towards the Northwest. That was where the infantry brigade led by Zhang Xiaoman was located, Mount Youyushan.
Along the way, Ren Xiaosu invited P5092 to play Fight the Landlord with him. However, he was calmly rejected by P5092.
Along the way, all P5092 did was spend every minute and second supplementing his knowledge about the Northwest. There were Ren Xiaosu's dictation and some maps that Ren Xiaosu carried with him.
P5092 seriously wrote and drew on the maps to mark out the strategic military locations in his mind. He ended up marking more than 200 of them.
Ren Xiaosu wondered, "What are you marking out for?"
"If someone were to send troops from the Central Plains to the Northwest in the future, these strategic locations would be the best terrain to deal with the enemy," P5092 said.
"Do you think the barbarians will fight their way to the Northwest?" Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "Although I think this war against the expeditionary army will be very difficult, I don't think they'll be able to defeat the Pyro Company and the Wang Clan in the end. It's mainly because of the Wang Clan. I think someone who plans to unify the Central Plains will definitely have sufficient strength prepared. It's impossible that they won't be able to deal with the expeditionary army. "
The only worry was the Wang Clan's attitude. Ren Xiaosu felt that the Wang Clan would sooner or later scam the Pyro Company again in this war. At that time, the barbarians would march straight in, and the stronghold residents and refugees on this front line, including the Pyro Company and the Kong Clan, would all suffer.
Ren Xiaosu was even worried that the Wang Clan would overreach themselves. While they were scamming others, they were also scamming themselves.
"I'm not worried about the expeditionary army." P5092 glanced at Ren Xiaosu. "What I'm worried about is the Wang Clan."
"So that's what you mean." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Who knows, there might even be a battle."
With that, P5092 continued his research.
The three people in the train did not notice that there was an eagle following the steam locomotive in the sky as though it was very curious.
The eagle looked very small in the sky, but that was because it was too far away. In fact, this eagle was completely made up of energy, and its wingspan was even eight meters long. It was considered a behemoth in the sky.
After following the steam locomotive for a while, the eagle turned around and flew north. It flew past the expeditionary army and arrived in the grasslands.
A tent was erected northeast of the grasslands. The eagle suddenly descended towards Hassan below and turned into a purple energy that flowed into Hassan's body.
After drinking the blood wine bestowed by the gods, Hassan, Kirghiz Yan, and Bulan Zir awakened and became supernatural beings. This eagle was Hassan's superpower.
He turned around and walked back to the imperial court's tent. The nomads had avoided the expeditionary army, but their original plan to go fishing in the East China Sea was suddenly put on hold. They stopped here for the time being and did not continue east.
Hassan walked into the dark tent. Yan Liuyuan and his Sister Xiaoyu were sitting next to the fire pit.
Yan Liuyuan was wearing a green fanged visor that made him look extremely dignified. Hassan said respectfully, "Master, the eagle has flown back and brought back the information you wanted."
"Speak," Yan Liuyuan said as he looked up.
"The war in the South has broken out. The people in the North have split into two fronts and are fighting against the Pyro Company and the Wang Clan. It's still unclear who will win for the time being." Hassan said, "Stronghold 176 should've been massacred. There's only corpses left over there, and it's become a carnival ground for wild dogs and vultures. It's only spring, but there are already a large number of flies everywhere. When the flies fly into the sky, they form a dark mass that blots out the sun. It's really terrifying."
Yan Liuyuan sighed. He did not expect Stronghold 176 would still be destroyed in the end. "Is there anything else?"
"By the way, the eagle saw the train you mentioned to the South in between the battlefields. But the strange thing is that the train tracks can be paved by itself and can even cross the mountains. That's amazing," Hassan said.
Yan Liuyuan was stunned. "Is the train four-car or 16-car?"
Sister Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed the corner of her shirt, but she did not say anything.
Hassan replied, "Reporting to Master, it's sixteen segments."
