Capítulo 1493: Chapter 87: Communication Hub
Jidas continued to struggle on the ground, but this only hastened his death.
Lu Hong calmly watched Jidas, who was desperate to survive, without a hint of emotional fluctuation.
Soon, Jidas lost the ability to struggle, his pupils dilated, completely dead.
anwhile, Iron Head successfully killed a Second Level Knight, and then swiftly took down a Level 3 Knight on his next strike.
After clearing the obstructions, Iron Head finally set his sights on the direction in which Jidas had tried to escape, feeling unbearably anxious inside.
But lifting his eyes, he froze.
Because Jidas had already collapsed, completely silent, and Lu Hong was standing right beside him.
What happened here?
Iron Head’s mind was full of question marks, but he didn’t have ti to dwell on it and quickly dashed to Lu Hong’s side, “Are you alright? What’s up with Jidas, that d*mn thing? Why did he suddenly fall?”
“Of course I’m fine. I kicked him once, and then he just fell playing dead. Now he’s not breathing anymore.”
“What?!”
After hearing Lu Hong’s explanation, Iron Head’s head was filled with even more questions.
At this ti, Da Xiong and Old Gun also ca forward, Da Xiong excitedly describing the scene where Lu Hong’s kick decided everything, looking exceedingly thrilled.
After hearing Da Xiong’s account, Iron Head gave Lu Hong a deep look and said, “Next ti, don’t pull such risky stunts. This ti you were probably like a blind cat catching a dead rat, luckily kicking Jidas in his critical spot. Otherwise, he surely would have killed you.”
Lu Hong nodded, without disputing anything.
The mission to eliminate the cultists was successfully completed, Iron Head was visibly relieved, having felt incompetent with a senior leader of a cult causing chaos in X City.
Last ti, letting Jidas escape from X City, he’d been despised for many years, and finally, he let out this pent-up frustration.
Letting out a long breath, Iron Head pulled out his phone and quickly dialed a number, saying, “Hello, is this Director Wei? It’s , yes, yes, the cult leader has been successfully eliminated. Please co over for cleanup, I’m done with this matter. Alright, alright, OK, OK, OK, we’ll talk again next ti!”
After hanging up, Iron Head nodded towards Lu Hong and the others, saying, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you all to a al!”
“Great, great, free al again!” Da Xiong looked extrely happy.
anwhile, Old Gun shook his head slightly and said, “I have a kid at ho I need to take care of. I won’t be going, my baby had a fever yesterday, and I wouldn’t have gone out today if not for the mission.”
Upon hearing Old Gun’s response, Iron Head didn’t push, nodding, “OK, I’ll take you ho first.”
“Thanks, Captain.”
Just like that, they retraced their steps and drove back to the city.
First sending Old Gun ho, then Lu Hong and the others headed straight to the nearest restaurant, by now it was three to four in the morning, most places were closed, except for one, brightly lit but with no business inside.
Iron Head parked the car directly in front of the shop, blocking the entrance, then got out and shouted, “Old Zhao, we got business!”
Awakened by the words, the sleepy-eyed Old Zhao snapped awake and angrily cursed Iron Head, “Who the hell are you trying to scare in the middle of the night? Didn’t I tell you not to shout like that, especially late at night? I’ve been complained about for disturbing the peace many tis!”
Iron Head chuckled, seeing no one else around, he laughed, “I’m happy today, finished a big job, you know Jidas, right? Killed him today, and our team’s new mber kicked him to death.”
Saying this, Iron Head put his arm around Lu Hong’s shoulder, introducing, “This is our new team mber, codena War God, and the owner of this restaurant, he’s replaced the vacancy left by a team mber of ours. He’s our forr team mber who had to leave due to serious injury affecting his capabilities, becoming our city liaison and running this 24-hour restaurant. Whenever our team holds gatherings, it’s always at his place, Old Zhao’s cooking is fantastic, he used to be a chef at state banquets.”
Listening to Iron Head’s praise, Old Zhao chuckled, “You’re quite the talker. Alright, I’ll whip up so dishes for you. Completing a mission in the middle of the night, you must be starving!”
Saying this, Old Zhao rubbed his hands, gesturing to Lu Hong and Da Xiong, “Have a seat, help yourself to drinks and food, I’m going to make the dishes.”
Old Zhao turned and went into the kitchen, while Iron Head skillfully led Lu Hong and Da Xiong into a private booth, “The booths here are completely soundproof, so feel free to say whatever you want without worrying about being overheard.”
The three of them popped open beers, drank a few bottles on the spot.
After several bottles of beer, they opened up more, the conversation flowing again.
Through talking with Iron Head, Lu Hong got a rough idea of the current deploynt of the Phoenix rcenary Corps throughout Hua Country.
Currently, the Phoenix rcenary Corps has nearly three thousand Masters registered, exactly matching the upper limit of the Golden rcenary Corps in the Sky Ga, and only half of the rcenaries reside permanently in major cities across the country, responsible for mitigating the impacts and threats posed by Masters within the cities.
The other fifteen hundred mbers, led by Zhong Minghuang, established the internal Phoenix Team, specializing in tackling big troubles that city-based rcenary corps personnel can’t solve, essentially deploying nationally by air, flying everywhere. Among them, the Phoenix Team’s Masters are the strongest, each possessing the strength of city team captains like Iron Head, effectively the core backbone of the Phoenix rcenary Corps.
Finally, the remaining thousand Phoenix rcenary Corps mbers operate abroad, taking on special combat missions assigned by the nation, but most of the ti, they’re quite idle as missions aren’t frequent.
Hearing this, Da Xiong spoke up, “Captain, I recall the corps released information about a military operation in Tanzan Coast a few days ago?”
Iron Head nodded, “Yes, but that task was only reported within the corps. Only authorized personnel can see the specific action details.”
While speaking, Old Zhao entered with two steaming dishes, catching the tail end of the conversation, he chid in, “Don’t say more, I just got news today, the operation against Tanzan Coast failed, and the situation is very serious.”
Upon hearing this, Iron Head frowned, “What do you an? What happened?”
“Sigh!” Old Zhao sighed, “I’m considered a part of the Phoenix rcenary Corps’ upper echelon, so I know a bit. I shouldn’t really say this, but since it’s already happened, it’s likely you’ll find out soon, might as well tell you now.
Actually, this operation against Tanzan Coast is a major one. The professional forces of the two big nations, M Country and R Country, tead up, planning to support a puppet governnt in Tanzan Coast. This governnt aims to publicize the Masters to attract more spontaneous Awakeners to join. Against this dual-nation operation, Maozi Country opted to watch, while the Masters across Europe remain observant. Only our Hua Country doesn’t want Masters to ascend the world stage, thus sent mbers from True Dragon and Phoenix rcenary teams into Tanzan Coast to impede these countries’ conspiracy. But sohow, True Dragon rcenary Corps encountered issues on their way to et Phoenix rcenary Corps, failing to unite with our Phoenix brothers in ti. Moreover, Phoenix rcenary Corps’ location was leaked, receiving coordinated assaults from Masters of M and R Countries, nearly annihilated, though True Dragon rcenary Corps, while also attacked, wasn’t the main target, withdrew promptly, preserving their strength.
Upon Old Zhao’s explanation, Iron Head slamd the table hard, the alloy-forged table rattling, nearly bouncing up, “D*mn it, I bet it was the True Dragon rcenary Corps sabotaging us, selling us out. They’ve been at odds with us for years; those d*mn things definitely betrayed us!”
“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t say things without evidence. If soone overhears, you could be punished!” Old Zhao quickly stopped him.
Just then, the phones of Old Zhao, Iron Head, Da Xiong, and Lu Hong vibrated violently.
“There’s an urgent situation, open the app imdiately to check!” Iron Head said in a low voice.
Not daring to delay, everyone directly opened their phone apps.
