Chapter 147 The Pawn Crossing the River
Opposite the 19th Division, a charge boat is hidden in the pirates' team. It looks no different from other charge boats, but it is the three giants riding on the pirate power.
The Red Devil, with fire-like red hair, wearing a pair of exquisite and weird metal masks, cannot hide his graceful charm. Beside him is Shuo Lie, an extremely handsome young man, but he commands Flemish Corner, second only to the Red Devils, and ranks second in the second place. The pirate force is the little Bill famously arrogant. He dares not act rashly in front of them, and rarely learns to restrain himself.
The operation of the ambush of the 19th Division is the masterpiece of the joint efforts of these three giants.
In addition to these three giants, there is another middle-aged man wearing a mask. Just standing quietly can give people a gloomy feeling.
"Congratulations to everyone, the victory in the first battle will surely greatly enhance the morale of the coordinated forces." The middle-aged man took the lead in breaking the silence. The coordinated forces he mentioned were the pirates attacking the vanguard fleet.
The Red Devil ignored it and looked at the data seriously. There were 2,326 deaths, including many masters. Compared with the results achieved, the price was acceptable. Pirates were different from regular troops, and no one was willing to stand out. If they fought with the fleet, they would not be swallowed up by their coveted peers. If they had not reached a consensus with other pirate forces and fought in joint operations, they would not have faced the 19th Division of the Black Dragon Legion head-on.
"The Pioneer Fleet is on the way, and it's too late to escape now. As long as you blow up Kadolan's refinery, they can roll back in shame and let the Blade Bear and the others beat the water dog." Bill couldn't help but get excited. Although formed a temporary alliance, the pirates still had their own ulterior motives, hoping to let other forces fight tough battles, and even hope to weaken the strength of their allies. The Red Devil, Shuolie, and Bill formed a stable force, which was relatively closer to the other two super forces.
"What's the situation with the refinery?" Shuolie asked casually.
"It is impossible to contact the eyeliner at the moment, but at the beginning of the battle, an enemy ship did not join the battle and went to Kadolan by random touching." The pirate in charge of the communication promptly informed the situation.
"Lost contact?" A glimmer flashed in Shuolie's eyes, and then he said, "It's better to have a battalion to be buried with him. It's time to detonate the bombs, and let them nibble the remaining fleet."
After the two reached a consensus, they looked at the Red Devil at the same time. After a moment, the Red Devil nodded in silence.
boom!
The strong explosion shock wave made the ship shake continuously.
"What's going on?" Monte was shocked and thought the pirates had attacked the refinery.
"The pirates detonated the bomb." Chen Fang looked out the window with a conscious mind. The explosion caused rolling sand and dust, pressing towards the ship.
"Aren't the bomb removed? Didn't it be removed clean?" Monte asked nervously. The battle situation was extremely unfavorable, and the continuous bad news made him a little nervous.
"After dismantling it, it was installed and placed in a place where it could explode." Chen Fang's answer was very abstract, but Monte still understood that this was a trick that made the pirates think that they had blown up the refinery, with the purpose of delaying time.
"Your tricks cannot be hidden from the pirates. When they see the vanguard troops, they will definitely feel suspicious." Mont made a serious reminder.
"It's time to cheat for a while." Chen Fang's answer was hilarious, but no one in the command room could laugh.
"The situation is not good, the 19th Division cannot come to support you. The vanguard fleet will take two days to arrive. This means that you have to fight alone. The pirates have decided to blow up the refinery now. Your tricks will not be hidden for long. Once they find that the refinery has not been blown up, the next two days will definitely be crazy attacks. Do you have the confidence to complete the mission?" Mont tried to give the young man some courage with his smile.
"I don't think this task is too difficult." Chen Fang made the command room's bosses laugh and cry. The 19th Division could not withstand the pirate attacks. Just 300 people wanted to defend the refinery. You should know that in the next forty-eight hours, the refinery was the focus of the pirate attack. Was this young man scared or had not figured out the situation? But judging from his previous performance, he was not stupid.
"Tell me, how sure are you to keep the refinery?" Monte couldn't help but shake his head.
"More than 93%." Chen Fang replied casually.
"Uh~" Mont subconsciously looked at the Marshal.
"Tell me about your plan." Lu Beiyan replaced Monte, and originally wanted to give advice to his son-in-law. Since his son-in-law is confident, he might as well listen.
"The guards of the refinery, what you need to protect is equipment. You can first remove the equipment and find a hidden one. Kado Blue Star is full of mines, and it is too easy to hide three sets of equipment. Even if you don't send people to protect it, it will take a while for pirates to find the equipment. Forty-eight hours is far from enough. Kado Blue is everywhere in mines of all sizes. As far as I know, most of the mines hire mercenaries, and maybe there are thousands of people in total. It might be better to recruit them. It is not appropriate to hire mercenaries in the name of the legion. This matter can make old William come forward." Chen Fang replied confidently.
"Haha, very good. The cost of hiring mercenaries is paid by the legion. No matter what method you use, you can persist for forty-eight hours to ensure that these three sets of equipment are intact before the vanguard fleet arrives. You are the biggest contributor to the bandit suppression this time." Hiding the equipment coincided with Lu Beiyan's idea. As for mercenaries, there was no need to hire them, but to be safe, I looked for them.
But it was another surprise. Lu Beiyan had forgotten the relationship between the two. Even if the young man was not his son-in-law, he would definitely be appreciated and promoted. The others in the command room had no objection to this statement. No matter how far the war to suppress the bandits developed, if Chen Fang had not existed, the operation would have ended in failure. Now, the battle is still continuing, and all hopes are placed on him.
"With this pawn that crossed the river, the whole game of chess was alive." Monte felt relieved and smiled rarely. Judging from the plan, 93% of the confidence was not a boast. What is puzzling is how the 93% number came from? As for the accuracy to this extent?
"The pawns who cross the river are no longer pawns!" Lu Beiyan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, stood up and quickly turned around in the command room.
The three sets of equipment were split in less than two hours and sent to three abandoned mines for storage at night. According to Chen Fang's requirements, the machine was hidden deep in the mine, causing collapse in the middle of the mine, sealing the passageway, and trying to avoid leaving traces during the entire handling process. Before evacuation, it was specially cleaned up. The outside of the mine was kept in its original appearance and no one was sent to guard it, leaving only two remote mechas to observe.
At the same time, Old William contacted the familiar mine owner. As the owner of the only refinery of Cardolan, he knew almost all the mine owners, and no one was willing to offend him. He did not need to play the imperial signs. With his old face alone, he borrowed a group of 109 mercenaries within two hours.
The so-called borrowing means that you don’t need to pay a commission, and it’s useless~ Chen Fang couldn’t help but feel sad about the fate of his peers.
When Chen Fang approached the room, Old William was still busy. Although the military took over the refinery, this was his master's property after all. Whether he could make a fortune in the next military purchase business depends on whether he could hold these three machines. Out of loyalty, he must do his best. Unfortunately, two hours were too short, and at least half of the huge list on Old William had no time to contact.
In addition to the ten minutes of conspiracy, Li Qing always stayed by Chen Fang. The longer she spent time together, the more mysterious the man became, the more curious the more she aroused her curiosity.
Since Chen Fang took the lead without premeditation before the war, he began to shine. Until now, he has turned the tide and became the hope of the legion. In the eyes of others, he is a difficult situation, but he is free to go around. If the Aojia Empire finally wins this bandit suppression, it will be defeated by the surprise soldiers of the Second Battalion. To be precise, by the dark horse.
The borrowed mercenaries were not gathered together, and they didn't even have to meet each other because there was no need. Chen Fang only asked all mercenaries to call the channel in a unified manner, and then briefly explained a few words in the channel. The roughly means that they don't have to guard anything, nor have they had a strong attack task. The only task is to protect themselves and kill pirates.
Because he was also a mercenary, Chen Fang understood the mercenaries and it was useless to force them to arrange tasks. All he got was that he did not work hard, and he had meritorious value when killing pirates. The mercenary group did not mind consuming some ammunition and crystal oil. The mercenaries were in teams and barely put these hundreds of people together, and they became a mob.
"If you hide the three machines, you will be invincible. Why hire mercenaries?" Li Qing asked curiously. After all, they are all soldiers, and they are unwilling to rely on mercenaries unless they have to.
"Just relying on the people from the Second Battalion, when you meet the core members you mentioned, they will definitely be vulnerable. What should I do if I don't look for mercenaries? Pirates may not expect that the equipment is hidden in the mine. If they make up their minds to search one by one, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be able to find clues. The role of mercenaries is to disrupt the pirate's sight." Chen Fang looked at the data terminal on his arm.
"It's reasonable. Your cleverness lies in not leaving any targets for the pirates. In such a situation, they will be constantly attacked by mercenaries, which will definitely be very uncomfortable. Once they are entangled with mercenaries, they will not be able to search for equipment. However, you don't have to hide the second battalion, right?" Li Qing felt funny when she thought of this. This guy was addicted to hiding. He didn't do it, and he simply stuffed the troops into the mine.
"Well, they are learning technology with old William. When the Pioneer Fleet arrives, these three sets of equipment will be operated immediately. How can we lack workers?" Although it is an excuse, Chen Fang is justified and well-founded.
After the refinery was vacated, it turned into a trap. Without Chen Fang's reminder, more than a dozen mercenaries set up ambush nearby. Chen Fang took Li Qing and the barbarians and changed into casual clothes to Shen Jun's manor. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. If the mercenary group is there, he might also go out to find the bad luck of the pirates. But now, there is only one barbarian around him. Although this guy is in a strong physique, he still doesn't know if it is useful to drive the mecha.
Before dawn, the explosion sounded from Cardo Blue Star, and the artillery fire was not dense and intermittent, which meant that the battle was not fierce and the casualties were not fierce. This was very consistent with the style of the mercenary.
"Fast enough!" Chen Fang leaned leisurely on the sofa, at Shen Jun's house, just like at his own home. He liked it very much, so he came.
From the battle place of the 19th Division to the refinery, the journey takes at least three hours, and the pirates have only three and a half hours to detonate the bomb. This means that his trick only deceived the pirates for thirty minutes. Perhaps less than that, when he thought of this, Chen Fang couldn't help but sweat, and the pirates were not stupid either.
"When will it take a meal? I'm hungry." The man stood in the middle of the living room, shouting in a muffled voice. Chen Fang and Li Qing couldn't help but blush. This guy was really out of sight.
Shen Jun was extremely embarrassed when he heard this. It was inevitable to entertain guests and hold a sumptuous dinner. The nobles paid great attention to their diet and cooked for a long time. In addition, Chen Fang and others suddenly visited and were unprepared in advance. Of course, it was slow, but it was a bit hungry for the guests. As the host, it was very shameless.
Having said that, the barbarian’s request was not too much. He didn’t care about food at all, just keeping full, and of course he didn’t want to wait for a long time.
After finally waiting for the seat, a low roar came from outside the park, the sound of ship landing and the sound of mecha movements mixed together, breaking the tranquility of the manor,
Judging from the sound, there was at least a large fleet outside. The Pioneer Fleet would take more than 40 hours to reach Kadolan. At this time, the fleet appeared, and most of them were pirates. They might have to find a place to station. There were no 10,000 or 8,000 manors similar to Kadolan. In this way, they could meet with pirates. Chen Fang had to sigh that his character really made people cry without tears.
Driving the mecha was a search for death. Chen Fang was worried and made a decision within ten seconds. Everyone was not allowed to resist and did whatever they should do. Then he calmly threw the goggles into the fireplace.
