The Empire Has Started to Feel the Pain.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated instantly.

He remembered his wife, who also had a mole on her chest and had given him a son and a daughter.

Could it be that...?

I considered this possibility.

Boris put down the terminal, then immediately picked it up again.

He immediately yelled, "Connect the communication to me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The call was quickly connected, and Luo Chen answered, "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Boris!"

Boris: "Stop talking nonsense, where have you taken my wife and kids?"

Luo Chen chuckled softly:

"Lieutenant Colonel Boris, please don't rush! Allow me to introduce myself."

"I am Lieutenant Wendell, commander of Imperial Chernobog Base No. 3."

"Your wife and children aren't with me, but I know where they are."

"And I am also a victim, because my younger brother was also kidnapped by the Reunion Movement."

"Do you want to redeem your wife and children? Then let's meet in person."

"Major Buckle's parents and children have also been kidnapped. I've arranged to meet him at the mines outside Chernobog in two days."

"If you still want your wife and children, come on time. It doesn't matter how many people you bring, since I have no ill intentions!"

"But I advise you not to report your relatives' abduction to the Empire. As for the reason..."

You know.

After Luo Chen finished speaking, he hung up without giving Lieutenant Colonel Boris time to ask questions.

This made Lieutenant Colonel Boris feel as if the battle in the suburbs was about to reach its climax, only to be abruptly stopped.

What do you know? I don't understand!

What exactly happened to the empire?

Why can't we tell the Empire about this?

Please explain yourself clearly.

Damn riddle maker!

Lieutenant Colonel Boris, who was thoroughly exasperated by Luo Chen's words, could only make a phone call to Major Bashar, who was in charge of the Chernobog mine and prison.

When the call was made, Bashar was even more bewildered than he was.

He didn't understand why he couldn't report to the Empire.

"Could the Empire be the mastermind behind all of this?"

Bashar's casual remark caused both of them to fall silent.

The person who just sent them the communication identified himself as the commander of the Imperial base.

It's not impossible that the commander of the Imperial base had secret Imperial information targeting them.

But what exactly are they up to by contacting them?

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will continue to take root and sprout.

Although neither of them said it explicitly on the phone, they were both convinced that the matter was related to the Empire.

If the empire wants to destroy them, is there any hope for them?

Chapter 206 Luo Chen's strategy is all about win-win. (50)

While Boris and Bashar pondered the meaning of Luo Chen's riddle.

Luo Chen, playing the role of Wendell, has already started complaining to the Empire through the terminal.

His eyes were filled with grief and helplessness. He sat in front of the terminal that shone with a cold light.

His hands gripped the microphone tightly, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into the cold, mechanical device.

"Sir! Tuls is my favorite younger brother, and his father, Gilbert, is my closest uncle."

"When I was a child, I often rode on his shoulders, Illusion of expanding the empire's territory for His Majesty the Emperor."

He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the pain into his lungs and then release it through his words:

"But now I am in my prime, the time to serve the empire and make contributions."

But my second uncle is going to die.

"Sir, I beg you, please talk to Lermontov and ask him to release my uncle and brother."

Luo Chen's eyes began to redden, and he tried hard to suppress his emotions and prevent tears from falling.

But his voice was already choked with emotion, and he could no longer remain calm.

According to Imperial regulations, Wendell was unable to contact Lermontov after sending his troops Lermontov.

However, he knew that Lermontov was a cadre of the Reunion Movement.

Therefore, it was entirely reasonable for Wendell to seek help from Command Headquarters after his family members went missing.

At this point, Lieutenant General Cheltsov, commander of the Third Army Group, was also quite surprised by the situation.

The order for Lermontov to kidnap Boris and Bashar's family was issued by Lermontov himself.

But who would have thought that Lermontov, while arresting people, would also arrest an unlucky fellow?

However, it's not a big problem; I'll just send a telegram to Lermontov.

Let him find those two people and release them.

"Calm down first. I'll send someone to inform Lermontov, so don't worry."

After ending communications with Lermontov, the Third Army Group sent a telegram to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen deliberately delayed replying.

Instead, he continued to use Wendell's identity to contact Command Headquarters.

This time, however, he wasn't throwing a tantrum; instead, he reported to the Empire about his meeting at Chernobog Prison.

"Sir, I just received a communication from Lieutenant Colonel Boris. He heard that my family members have also been kidnapped, so he invited me to Chernobog Prison for a meeting."

"Furthermore, they also told me not to report this matter to the Empire yet."

"Sir, what should I do?"

Lieutenant General Cheltsov frowned upon hearing this.

His years of battlefield experience had given him a keen sense of what was amiss; these two were about to join forces.

Lermontov's plan to ambush Boris and Buckle will likely fail due to this unexpected turn of events.

"Please wait a moment."

Realizing that things were not so simple, Lieutenant General Cheltsov immediately convened a meeting of his Command Headquarters.

After discussion at the meeting.

They believed that Bashar and Boris would definitely join forces against Lermontov.

Although Lermontov has thousands of Reunion Movement fighters under his command, if Bashar and his companion were to recklessly unite, they could raise an army of five thousand.

Even if Lermontov's men were all elite warriors, they still couldn't possibly defeat an enemy five times their size.

The best course of action at present is to have Wendell accept Boris's invitation to test the waters.

If they do form an alliance, Wendell will be there to provide intelligence.

They can also help Lermontov eliminate these two men.

However, although they believed there were no problems with the plan, whether it would work out still depended on Lermontov.

After all, it was Lermontov who actually carried out the plan.

"But should we report this to the Military Command first?"

Lieutenant General Cheltsov hesitated; the original plan had been approved by the Military Command.

If the plan is modified now, it will not be reported.

So if something goes wrong, you'll be the one to take the blame.

While Cheltsov was hesitating and debating whether or not to report it...

Luo Chen guessed that the Command Headquarters should be over by now, and they were probably discussing who should take the blame.

To avoid troubling them with this issue, Luo Chen replied to the telegram directly.

The telegram contained only one sentence.

"Roger that! Release them immediately."

Once Cheltsov saw this, he had no time to hesitate.

If Lermontov releases the prisoners, the entire plan will be ruined.

Cheltsov quickly calmed down and replied to Luo Chen:

"Boris and Bashar are plotting to join forces."

"They might launch a joint attack against you."

"But you don't need to worry. Command Headquarters is planning to have Wendell act as an informant, joining Boris's alliance to provide you with intelligence."

"In this situation, are you confident you can complete the task?"

After receiving the telegram, Luo Chen ate a meal first.

He replied slowly and deliberately after the meal:

"Sir, although this unexpected turn of events has made our plans uncertain..."

"But I saw an opportunity in it."

"I've been thinking about this for a while now: Boris and Bashar aren't loyal enough to the Empire, and that's their personal fault."

"But their soldiers are innocent."

"Now that Boris and his companion have invited Lieutenant Wendell to form an allied force to fight against our troops, the issue of troop allocation will inevitably arise."

"Lieutenant Wendell's one or two hundred men would certainly be wiped out if they acted alone. Boris will definitely provide him with reinforcements."

"I think this is a good opportunity for us to use them to seize power from these two people."

"Our unit will focus its attack on Boris and his comrade's forces, and then they will suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of Lieutenant Wendell."

"This way, they will all think that Lieutenant Wendell is a capable and skilled fighter, and thus hand over the position of commander-in-chief to him."

"And Lieutenant Wendell, who has taken over the command position, could easily find an opportunity to eliminate the two of them."

"In this way, the Empire not only brought two important strongholds under His Majesty's control, but also quietly eliminated two major threats."

"Sir, what do you think?"

After reading Luo Chen's telegram.

Cheltsov's heart pounded.

His Majesty the Emperor's order was to have them eliminate these two men.

If the soldiers and commanders of these two strongholds were wiped out by force, it would be a common achievement, nothing special.

But what if they had not only eliminated those two?

They even added two new strongholds to the imperial center and expanded the military force by several thousand.

That would be a great achievement.
