Chapter 285: Ambush and infiltrate the traitor
There is also a very critical point in Ji Xun’s lurking plan.
That is to avoid the seventh-level card master who can transform into a flying dragon.
His current disguise ability was evaluated by two legendary powerhouses, Jia Yu and Aileen, as having no flaws.
But many abilities of card masters above level seven are unknown.
Best to avoid just in case.
I didn’t expect Catalina’s plan to be more direct. She actually planned to ambush that guy?
The first time she asked for help, Ji Xun immediately realized what she wanted to say.
It’s not about joining the war yourself.
But I want to contact some people through my own connections.
The Lion Heart family is very powerful. With all the top power and various relics and equipment, it may not be impossible to kill a seventh-level person.
But that would be very risky.
Even if it is really killed, at least both sides will lose.
So, a key figure is needed here.
That is the number one master in the Federation - Gong Wu!
After all, the Lionheart family is the number one warlord in the Federation. Catalina grew up in this environment, and she has a keener sense of political aspects.
She was afraid that Ji Xun would not understand her plan, so she explained in detail: "According to the existing information, the Airel Ancient Dragon Empire is very far away from our eastern continent, and the one who attacked the 'Cross New City' was only one The vanguard army responsible for exploring the Old World. If there are no special marching methods, it will take at least a month or two for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive. During this time, those enemies will never be idle."
"Yes."
Ji Xun nodded as he listened, thoughts racing in his mind.
He doesn’t know much about politics, and there are some things he really didn’t expect.
Catalina continued: "And according to intelligence, the Vanguard Legion of the Ancient Dragon Empire has a 'combat merit mechanism'. If there are major discoveries during exploration, there will be military merit rewards. For example, the discovery of our Card Master Federation is a first-class meritorious service. . The seventh-level man already knows that our federation's top level of combat power is only at the sixth level, so he must have other ideas. After all, seizing the city, killing the generals, and destroying the country are inevitable. Merit. I suspect that guy might have the intention of sneaking into the Eastern Continent and beheading the top leaders of the Federation. He rushes in to seek merit!"
"."
Hearing this, Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. I also think this is very likely.
If he had a seventh-level strength, he would also choose to try it.
So, this is an opportunity for an ambush.
And whether there is an ambush or not, the enemy will most likely come.
“There is another point that we must pay attention to.”
At this time, Catalina changed the topic, a sharp light flashed in her crystal eyes, and said in a deep voice: “In war, the enemy never They are not the only threats."
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
Katrina: "In war, in addition to 'main battle' and 'defense', there are also There is a choice.”
Ji Xun also guessed what she wanted to say, "You mean surrendering to the enemy?"
"Yes."
Katrina nodded and said sternly: "In the face of crisis, human nature is The most difficult risk to foresee. Especially in this kind of war that seems to have no chance of winning, some people will definitely think that instead of waiting to die, it is better to make plans early. I guess the Federation is actively preparing for the war. I am afraid that some people with ulterior motives among the congressmen have sent people to secretly contact those enemies."
Hearing this, Ji Xun asked curiously: "Is there anyone suspected?"
Know in advance who are the moles, so you can be wary of them in the future.
Catalina shook her head and responded: "Except for people from the Oran Royal Court, it's possible. The five major members, members of the House of Representatives, and even civilian speculators. After all, if they think that the Federation will definitely lose, they can make plans early and at least have some control over them." Initiative. With such a large population base in the Federation, even if it is enslaved, it will definitely need managers."
The Lionheart family retreated so simply. In addition to taking a chance on hope, there is another level of consideration. I don't want to get involved in those meaningless intrigues.
The guys sitting in the current Federal Parliament have long been a pile of stinky carrion covered by bright uniforms.
Ji Xun also showed a pensive expression as he listened.
Katrina's attitude towards the main battle was very firm, and she finally said: "There is absolutely no luck in this war. I don't want to fight on the front line and be stabbed in the back by those guys from the Federation with ulterior motives. War is inevitable anyway, let’s put some pressure on those guys.”
"."
Ji Xun smiled knowingly.
I also understand why she wanted to ambush the seventh level.
Beheading an enemy general will definitely anger the enemy commander.
This will push the guys in the Federal Parliament to a dead end.
At least those who want to "surrender to the enemy" have their way cut off.
The entire federation was forcibly tied to the chariot.
Ji Xun also felt that this plan was to his liking.
It can also boost morale by fighting against the outside world and keeping the inside at bay.
Katerina also expressed her request: "So, I want you to help me contact your teacher, Mr. Gongwu. Only with him here can this ambush have a real chance of winning."
Ji Xun had no reason to refuse, but he couldn't agree for the senior, so he said: "I can help you contact him. But senior Gong Wu is not in Sinless City now. I'm not sure when he will come back. I'm not sure either. Will he agree to take action?"
Having said that, he felt that if Gong Wu knew about it, he would definitely take action.
Being able to fight against strong men is the old man’s only pursuit.
But the only trouble is that Master Merlin said that Gong Wu went to Xia Mu City to look for super-level materials and prepare to advance to the seventh level.
Ji Xun is not sure when he will come back.
Catalina smiled sweetly: "Yes. It's already very good."
At this time, she thought of something and added: "Oh, and I also want you to contact the Revolutionary Army."
While speaking, he looked at Ji Xun with a hint of joking in his expression, and said: "After all, everyone knows that you have a good relationship with that "Valkyrie" Qin"
More than that They have a good relationship.
In the Shenxu Treasure House, many people witnessed the battle where Qin Rushi almost risked his life to help Ji Xun block two of King Oran's four knights.
In the eyes of outsiders, for the leader of the revolutionary army to be so protective, the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
Some people even speculate that Ji Xun is also a senior member of the revolutionary army.
Ji Xun also understood the hint of ridicule.
The explanation is not clear and I don’t want to explain it.
He only said: "I can also contact you for you. But I can't guarantee that she will respond."
"Of course."
Katrina raised her eyebrows, already very satisfied.
She seemed to be confident that as long as she could be contacted, the other party would definitely help.
After all, she knows more than others.
Thinking back to the gambling fight in Hong Lou, not only did I lose all my clothes, but the Valkyrie Qin also took off her clothes in full view.
In such a relationship that is not taboo, there are always more possibilities if you open your mouth.
Katrina calmed down the thoughts racing in her head and said: "With this big change, I think the revolutionary army will most likely not continue to waste time in the Eastern Continent. If they choose to come to the Old Continent , I think our Lion Heart Family and the Revolutionary Army will be good partners. They have enough experience in guerrilla warfare, and our Lion Heart Family has the best equipment and resources."
Ji Xun. Nodding: "Yes."
Now that the situation in the Federation has changed, some conflicts have suddenly changed.
He also felt that the Revolutionary Army and the Lionheart Family were indeed good partners for cooperation.
As soon as Catalina finished speaking, thoughts popped up one after another, and she asked: "Also, are you familiar with the Thirteen Knights?"
As she said that, she said directly: "I What I mean is, if you can, can you help me communicate? How many more helpers can I have?”
There is nothing to hide from this person, Ji Xun said: “Yes. Friendship. Let me try it for you.”
“Okay! Thank you~” Catalina listened with a hint of joy in her eyes.
From what she knew about this guy's character, he must be very familiar with him if he could be said to be "somewhat friendly" with him.
For some reason, Catalina felt that when she met Ji Xun, the pressure in her heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
The tense nerves relaxed a lot. She blinked and muttered: "I just realized that you seem to know many powerful people."
Ji Xun was noncommittal. Smile.
The two of them didn’t need to be so polite when speaking. He instead joked: “Miss Carter, aren’t you also a ‘big shot’ I know?”
He couldn't tell why.
Maybe it has something to do with my adventurous personality?
As long as you often get involved in high-risk events, you will always come into contact with powerful people who can get involved in those big events.
I didn’t die, but I gradually got to know him.
“It’s my honor~”
Hearing this, Catalina grinned.
Everything that can be done has been done.
The pile of urgent documents on the table suddenly became less urgent.
Originally, the Lion Heart Family could have delivered this information through other channels, but the information had timeliness and trust, and it was most appropriate to have an intermediary that both parties trusted absolutely. And some of the people you contacted are very special, such as the Revolutionary Army and the Thirteen Knights, who are all wanted criminals by the federation. If you say you invite, people may not necessarily believe your motives. The most special one is Gong Wu, who is the only one who knows how to get along with that old man. The only person the senior has a connection with is Ji Xun.
Katrina felt like she had always been lucky when she met this guy.
Start with the trial of your own hero.
Of course, except for the first gambling fight in Hong Tower.
Oh, no! It seems that we got to know each other because of this, is it some kind of luck?
Thoughts were racing in her mind. She thought of something and suddenly suggested: "How about we drink some wine?"
Ten minutes ago, her biggest headache was the ambush. That seventh level enemy.
I always felt that there was not much chance of winning, so I tried every means to win this tough battle.
Now that I have met this guy, although I have not solved the problem, at least the hope of success has increased a lot.
Ji Xundao: "Okay."
Listening, Catalina had already taken out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured two glasses of wine into crystal glasses.
“Cheers~”
The two clinked glasses, and the crisp sound echoed in the room.
The aroma of wine filled his nose, and Ji Xun took a sip.
“Oh, right.”
Katerina thought of something, took out a brass mechanical object from the storage ring, and said: “This is a 'military micro-communication' "An ancient mechanical product made from blueprints was found in the ruins. It is not yet in production. It was originally a secret equipment of my Lionheart family. You can contact me later."
He took the machine like a walkie-talkie and said, "Yeah."
Archeology is indeed the primary productive force.
These black technologies still have to be created by the seniors thousands of years ago.
With this thing, contact is indeed much easier.
Katrina drank the amber wine in the crystal glass, and a hint of vagueness flashed across her eyes.
At this time, she said calmly: "No matter what the situation. This is the first direct conflict, our Lionheart family will do our best to deal with it. In this battle, I will definitely stick to the Nugget Pier until the end, May not survive. ”
As she said this, she glanced at Ji Xun, then lowered her gaze, and continued to pour him a glass of wine: "So, maybe this is the last time we meet." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was slightly like a farewell. Sad.
The extraordinary world never lacks such cruelty, and everyone seems to have become accustomed to it.
Ji Xun glanced at Catalina.
Suddenly I understood why she suddenly became interested in drinking.
The two of them clinked another glass of wine in silence.
Ji Xun pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Miss Carter, if you can live, live well. Next time, I will treat you to a drink."
No matter what, the two of them said They are all friends who trust each other.
"Okay."
Katrina responded happily, paused, and said: "You too."
And just as the Lionheart family was actively preparing for war, the construction of the steel battle fort at Nugget Pier was in full swing.
Outside the ruins of Devil's Crossing.
The vanguard team of the Ancient Dragon Empire has gathered hundreds of people here.
On the red bonfire, several huge monsters were roasted until they were golden and oily, and the aroma was fragrant.
After all, it is just a vanguard group, the number of people is too small.
It's okay to loot, but it's not enough to siege cities and occupy land.
This group of people now have to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
It was busy eating and drinking.
At this time, a sentry dressed as an assassin led several mysterious guys in cloaks to approach the fire and reported: "Captain Ron, there are a few guys from the Eastern Wasteland. , saying that there is important information to report."
Red-haired Ron snorted, but he was not very interested: "Oh?"
Seeing these guys, he had already guessed their intentions.
The dozens of high-level card masters on the side also stared at the cloaked figures in front of them with sarcastic smiles.
The cloaked men had never seen a seventh-level powerhouse before, and they were so overwhelmed by the mixed dragon power that they broke out in cold sweat.
The leader of the cloaked man lifted up his cloak, revealing a pale goatee face.
Even though he is considered a high-ranking official in the federation, at this moment, he was suppressed by this real murderous intention and his words were trembling: "Dear Mr. Strong, I have been entrusted by the head of my family to come here. I’m going to report some matters to you adults and bring you a small gift.”
After saying this, a card master who looked like a warlock translated his words into Talon.
Taking advantage of this gap, Goatee dared to swallow his saliva, and cautiously glanced around at the guys who were as strong as barbarians from the corner of his eye.
Red-haired Ron didn't have much patience for nonsense.
He used a knife to cut off a piece of barbecue on the campfire and put it in his mouth. He responded: "Give you a minute. Tell me what you want."
This was a completely unequal encounter. dialogue.
There is no way for the cloaked man to say "no".
If you don’t express your intention as soon as possible, the other party may not be interested in hearing them live.
Listening to the translation, Goatee hurriedly said: "Yes! Sir! The head of my family is Harold Capone, one of the five major congressmen of the Cardmaster Federation and the real person in power. Of course, in front of you. That is an insignificant little person. We are here, firstly, to express the goodwill of our Capone family, and secondly, to bring you some gifts."
As he said this, he and several people behind him picked them up. I took off the storage ring and took out a lot of ancient relics, jewelry and gems.
They also know that what attracts the seventh-level powerhouses is definitely not ordinary gold and silver treasures, so these are top-quality goods.
In addition to the treasures that the Capone family has collected for hundreds of years, there are also some ancient relics from hunting in the Old World during this period.
This "meeting gift" is priceless.
Sure enough.
Looking at the mountains of treasures, the expressions of Ron and the dragonborn card masters became much kinder.
But the sarcasm in his eyes was even stronger.
In their eyes, the Card Master Federation is already a lamb to be slaughtered.
The lambs brought their furs to bribe the hungry wolves who discovered the flock, but they also had meat that was coveted.
This was not over yet. Goatee quickly took out a few more rolls of blueprints and presented them respectfully, saying: "Sir, there are also these blueprints. These are the latest defense plans for Nugget Pier and Innocence City. .There is also the most detailed map of the Federation at present, including the locations of major cities and main defense forces. This is enough to show our sincerity."
Ron looked at the pile of drawings, and then something appeared on his face. With a hint of joy, he asked: "What do you want?"
Although the Card Master Federation is not something to be afraid of in their eyes.
But after all, the Eastern Wasteland is too big. With these maps, it will provide too much convenience for their conquest and plunder.
In the empire, obtaining intelligence about the enemy is also a "first-class meritorious service."
These gift giving guys are smart and know what he needs.
Goatee also felt that the oppressive atmosphere suddenly lightened, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "My family head said that we don't need anything. It is the greatest honor of our Capone family to be able to serve you adults."
“Haha.”
Ron narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.
Though the war needs these "rebels".
But he is also a professional soldier after all, and he cannot look down upon such a despicable character.
The other party is so powerful that there is no room for negotiation, and Goatee has no hope of getting any respect.
He was afraid that he did not have enough chips, so he quickly said: "Oh, gentlemen, and the most important point is that as far as we know, the Lionheart family has assembled heavy troops to set up defenses at Nugget Pier, and there are several A master of the legendary realm. My lords, you must be more careful. Then there is the Oran Royal Court, which is the Augustus royal family of the Talon Dynasty for three thousand years. They control the only passage to the abyss rift."
This guy poured out the information he knew as if he were pouring beans.
No one would have thought that the enemy has not yet come.
The Capone family, one of the five major federal congressmen, has sold the entire federation.
Ron did not expect to obtain so much important information so easily.
But when he looked at the goatee, there was a hint of caution in his eyes.
Waiting for the guy to finish speaking, he said lightly: "Search for souls."
Before the men in cloaks understood what happened, the leader with goatee rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
A death card master stepped forward, took out a card, and summoned a wisp of transparent soul smoke from the corpse.
The few living cloaked men were trembling with fear as they watched this horrific scene.
But no one dared to say a word or resist. They only watched the souls of their companions being searched, as if they were also waiting for their own upcoming death judgment.
However, this fear did not last long.
After a while, the soul search ended.
Ron got the result he wanted and stopped killing people.
He said to several pale-faced guys: "Let me tell your family master that I, Ron, have accepted the gift. Ask them to arrange for people to wait for news at the Nugget Pier. My people will arrive soon. , be ready to respond."
The people were so frightened that they quickly said: "Yes, sir!"
As soon as the people left, the group of pioneers of the Airel Empire started talking.
“Tsk, tsk, it seems that we are going to make a big contribution this time. That is to say, our vanguard group has fewer people, otherwise we would be able to directly defeat the Card Master Federation now”
"Speaking of which, although the people in Donghuang are weak, they have a lot of good things in their hands. We will make a fortune this time."
"I thought we would fight at least a dozen. I didn't think about us. Just after slaughtering a city, those guys were so frightened that they surrendered. The captain's decision was really brilliant."
"The opportunity to make a fortune is still ahead! Tsk, even though this Donghuang is weak. , but the population is so damn large. There is no shortage of cannon fodder.”
"."
Everyone's tone was filled with contempt for the national strength of the Card Master Federation, as well as greed for the massive wealth after the war.
No matter how barren the Eastern Wasteland is, mineral resources and population are still hard currency.
In the eyes of these people, the hundreds of millions of people are already shining gold coins.
Legion Commander Ron looked at the drawing in his hand, thought for a moment, and finally made the decision he had been struggling with for a long time.
"Looking at these gifts, the 'Capone family' should indeed be the powerful ones in the East Wasteland. I plan to go to the Nugget Pier to check and confirm the information. If everything goes well, I will go to the East Wasteland."
He didn't finish his words.
If possible, he planned to try to capture the king, councillors, etc. directly.
If you can capture and kill the enemy king at the beginning of the battle, this will be a great achievement.
Hearing this, someone still said cautiously: "Legion Commander, is there any fraud?"
Ron shook his head and sneered: "So what if it's a fraud?"
His confidence came from his strong strength, and he said proudly: "The Capone family knows the current affairs, so they surrendered with peace of mind. Even if I have evil intentions, it doesn’t matter. Although the information says that there are some sixth-level people in the Card Master Federation, if I want to leave, no one can keep me.”
“Yes, sir. !”
Everyone thinks so too.
The strength gap is so big that they don’t think there will be any surprises.
Even if there are risks, this huge wealth still has to be gambled.
The seventh-level enemy may attack at any time.
Ji Xun did not dare to stay at the Nugget Pier.
After leaving a message to Gong Wu and the others, he left alone.
The plan to ambush Tier 7 at Nugget Pier is not his battlefield. He must dare to go elsewhere as soon as possible.
The benefits of having intelligence support were immediately highlighted. Ji Xun accurately knew the location of the pioneers of the Airel Empire.
Those guys relied on their own strength to burn, kill, and loot all the way. They did not cover up their whereabouts, and it was difficult to cover up.
But after all, there are few people, and they are still active near Devil's Crossing.
The train to Devil's Crossing has stopped running, so Ji Xun can only ride a motorcycle, risking being surrounded by monsters in the wilderness and going alone.
Although the Airel Empire is powerful, the seventh-level card master is also a rare master at the level of a legion commander.
This time in the vanguard group, we have only found such an unsolvable strong man.
Ji Xun quickly arrived near the Devil's Cross ruins.
But he was in no hurry to touch those people.
Instead, walk around and observe.
Until three days later.
Catalina sent a message saying that the seventh-level man appeared at the Nugget Pier.
Ji Xun then knew that his opportunity to sneak in had come.
The real protracted war is fought with intelligence.
No matter what the outcome of the battle at the Nuggets Pier is, his latent actions here are equally important.
