The Germinal convoy quickly turned around and fled.
Kelt's eyes flashed, and he ordered, "Firepower! Bomb them all!"
The adjutant understood Kelt's meaning, was secretly alarmed, and quickly relayed the order, setting the attack range.
The convoy, equipped with honeycomb missile launchers, slowly moved forward, unleashing a deluge of short-range rockets.
Big Black was conveniently located on the edge of the bombing zone!
The members of the Thirteenth Bureau, with their keen observation skills, noticed this scene and were immediately filled with shock and anger.
The adjutant hurriedly explained, "The range was miscalculated, this is terrible!"
Such words might fool children, but their intentions are never deceiving. Qi Baijia roared, "Kelt, what do you want to do?!"
Kelt did not answer, his face expressionless, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Blame it on the fact that you're not from Hesla.
The rocket's exhaust left a brilliant yet chilling flash on Li Yalin's retina. She exclaimed in horror, "Did they want to blow us all up too?!"
"The Hesla people did it on purpose!" Zhang Wei was furious.
Although I knew that participating in joint operations would not avoid hostility from other countries, I never expected that this commander would actually dare to put it into action. If he died, it would be a pointless death, and he could get away with it with a simple "accidental killing"!
Only radicals would resort to such underhanded tactics, sabotaging their own forces and disregarding the consequences!
The Germinal is a common enemy of the Six Nations. While all agree on counter-terrorism, they are not allies and friction is constant. The leadership is hypocritical and treacherous, while those below are pawns engaged in fierce power struggles. (Sound familiar?)
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Nitrogen acceleration!"
Li Yalin immediately pressed the button, and the truck's exhaust pipe burst out with blue flames. The speed instantly soared, like a Berserk rhinoceros. The sudden acceleration pressed her firmly into the seat, rendering her unable to move.
The rocket array fell rapidly, getting closer and closer: 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters!
"Boom--"
Finally, the explosive hot wind whipped up mushroom-shaped clouds of dust, and continuous fire clouds rose over the plain. For a moment, everyone was temporarily deafened, the decibels exceeding the human ear's tolerance. The explosion scene before them seemed to turn into a silent film, with only dazzling flames expanding and rising, illuminating the entire night sky!
Everything within the area of effect, from cars to people, was torn to shreds!
It took a full three seconds before the buzzing sound returned to my ears!
The agents of the Thirteenth Bureau were furious!
Di Susu's eyes were filled with grief and murderous intent, and a faint blue aura rose within her.
"Call--"
The sound of wind arose.
The heavy truck broke through the black fog, staggering out with its burning tail. Half of the cargo box was blown apart, and some equipment and parts were reduced to scrap metal.
They're still alive!
The Thirteenth Bureau was pleasantly surprised.
Li Yalin was still shaken. Big Black was just a dozen meters away from escaping the range of fire. If it weren't for the nitrogen acceleration, it would have been completely destroyed!
Han Xiao suddenly coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm. He wasn't unharmed; the shockwave from the explosion had hit him, blasting away more than two hundred health points. His back slammed against the carriage, and the secondary shockwave caused him to lose another fifty health points. He was still dizzy and lightheaded.
After the nitrogen acceleration was complete, the heavy truck's engine was overloaded, and it managed to drive until it finally stalled in front of the Hesla army.
The Hesla soldiers, upon seeing the numerous bullet holes on the heavy truck up close, all felt a chill run down their spines.
What an intense battle that must have taken! They were practically riddled with bullets.
"It's a pity they weren't killed." Kelt frowned slightly, somewhat disappointed.
Han Xiao and the others got out of the car, and the agents of the Thirteenth Bureau swarmed around them. Qi Baijia was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Xiao was alright.
At this moment, Kelt walked over, immediately drawing angry glares from everyone in the Thirteenth Bureau. Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and maneuvered his armor to approach Kelt, but the soldiers beside him immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the group. The adjutant shouted, "What do you think you're doing? Back off!"
"I demand an explanation!" Zhang Wei shouted.
Explanation? Naïve.
Kelt ignored him, glanced at Han Xiao, and said indifferently, "Where are the prisoners you mentioned?"
"... dead."
The Kelt' premature deployment of troops put him in danger, and the two prisoners he had painstakingly captured died as a result. Most importantly, this guy just tried to blow him up, which was clearly intentional.
Han Xiao lowered his eyes to conceal his cold gaze.
"So there's no evidence?" Kelt frowned, looking dissatisfied. His attitude further fueled the anger of the Thirteenth Bureau agents, but reason told them they couldn't act rashly. Being on Hesla territory, turning against them would mean certain death.
Qi Baijia suppressed his anger and said coldly, "You'll be held accountable by the Thirteenth Bureau!"
Kelt didn't take it seriously. The Thirteenth Bureau had nothing to do with him. It was just a "mistake," something without evidence. At most, he would receive a few diplomatic reprimands from the other side, nothing serious.
As long as he breaks through Dark Raven Valley, he can gain a considerable amount of merit. With the help of his powerful backers, he can become a core member of the radical faction. No matter how the Thirteenth Bureau tries to condemn him, it will only be blocked by the Hesla leadership.
Kelt thought for a moment, then pointed to Han Xiao, who seemed to be the most seriously injured, and said, "Take him to the medic and have his injuries checked."
Han Xiao remained expressionless as he followed the medic to the support vehicle. His injuries were all soft tissue contusions, and with his stamina, he could recover on his own after a short rest. He then waved the medic away.
The logistics vehicles started up quickly, and the Hesla army continued its advance.
He shook his head, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.
He hasn't slept since yesterday, so now he can finally rest for a while.
Gunshots rang out in the distance. Han Xiao opened his eyes. He had been a light sleeper. He got out of the car and realized it was around three or four in the morning.
At this time, the Hesla army had arrived at the Dark Raven Valley warning zone. Fierce fighting was taking place on the front line. The six-layered warning zone of the Dark Crow Valley Base was not only for patrols and sentries, but also a buffer zone for dealing with large-scale armies. It was filled with a large number of bunkers and watchtowers. At this time, these tactical points were guarded by the enemy and were in a state of war. If the Hesla army wanted to get close to the Dark Crow Valley Base, it had to break through these six layers of defense first.
In the mountains and forests, the Hesla army is attacking various defensive fortifications, such as blockhouses and bunkers, and is gradually advancing based on Ye Fan's intelligence.
Han Xiao was stationed in the Logistics Department, far from the battlefield.
Two soldiers had been waiting nearby, and Han Xiao casually asked them a question.
"How is the battle going now?"
A soldier reported, "Successfully, our troops have advanced to the fourth outer perimeter."
Han Xiao nodded and was about to walk out when two soldiers blocked his way.
"The colonel wants you to recuperate here."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao immediately understood that Kelt had placed him under house arrest. He frowned and asked, "What about my companions?"
"Your superiors have also instructed us to keep a close eye on you and let you rest in peace."
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, understanding Qi Baijia's thoughts; he didn't want him to take any more risks. The scene where he was almost "accidentally killed" by the rocket barrage made Qi Baijia absolutely unwilling to let Han Xiao go to the front line again.
"This is actually more beneficial to my plans."
Han Xiao thought to himself.
Turning around, I saw Big Black being towed by a tow truck and parked to the side. The chase had almost destroyed the heavy truck, and it would definitely be unusable without a major overhaul.
Han Xiao's eyes lit up as he walked towards the heavy truck.
The two soldiers keeping watch didn't stop him; as long as Han Xiao didn't leave the logistics area, they wouldn't interfere.
Entering the cargo compartment, the essential West Capital still there, and the bodies of the two prisoners had been disposed of. Han Xiao took out the communication equipment from the box and connected to Lin Yao's frequency.
"Is Lin Yao still alive?"
"Damn it, I'm still alive." Lin Yao's annoyed voice came through the earpiece.
"How is the situation now?"
"We were preparing to evacuate when we heard from the base's higher-ups that the outer base had mobilized its entire force to intercept Hesla's army. However, we haven't found out the evacuation route yet, so it seems we'll only know by evacuating along with them... By the way, I found out the false intelligence Ye Fan obtained. The distribution of fortifications and defensive forces within the third to sixth layers of the alert zone are accurate, but the innermost first and second layers are completely different. If Hesla's army follows Ye Fan's intelligence, they will suffer heavy losses."
Did you tell them?
No, you're the first person to contact me.
"That's good. Don't notify the Hesla people."
Lin Yao asked in confusion, "Why?"
Han Xiao recounted the rocket array incident, and Lin Yao was furious. "That's outrageous!"
The Kelt have revealed their murderous intent, so the Thirteenth Bureau will naturally not help their army reduce losses.
Han Xiao provided intelligence to improve the mission's success rate; only by killing core members like Pan Kuang and Ji Jie could the mission be considered successful. The Kelt treated him as a tool, and Han Xiao reciprocated by treating them similarly. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement: you use my intelligence, I use your army.
As long as the Hesla army can complete its mission according to his intelligence, he doesn't care how many Hesla soldiers die.
Kelt's sudden murderous intent was somewhat unexpected.
"We need to revise the plan a little."
Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
