Chapter 1098: The Outsider (13)

"Occam, do the leaders really want to trust those people? Anyway, it's just using us as a platform to make things easier for them to do things around them. The woman glanced at Sworthy's corpse and then got into the limousine, "I said I would help us, but I just left a squad of less than twenty people to garrison." Besides, there was no one between us who could command them, and tonight's events seemed to have nothing to do with them, and there was no reaction at all. ”

"We can figure it out ourselves, we don't need to let them do it. The leader believed them, probably because he had taken a fancy to the background behind the group. If the Empire comes on a mission, if there is a chance, it may be possible to get in touch with the forces behind it. Now we are at best providing some information and supplies, not valuable. There's nothing wrong with trading this for a chance. ”

"Go back first, have a chance to interrogate those two people, and the lieutenant colonel will definitely call us to a meeting to discuss the next countermeasures. The armor assembly has reached the final stage, and then it is the actual machine test, and there must be no problems in the middle. Through the man who fled, the king's forces must have known that there was an assembly plant for armor in the mines. Now come here to adjust the difference, probably for this reason. The chief has sent an additional army of 30,000 men, as well as many weapons and supplies for defense. If a civil war starts, it is likely to be a flashpoint. ”

"Be careful, the King's side is not without a strong surgeon. In my opinion, tonight's investigation is just a test for them, and there will definitely be people to follow. ”

It wasn't until about four a.m. that Occam came out of the conference room. The passage outside the door looks deserted, and the cold wind at night is sent in by a strong air circulation system, making the interior of the mountain appear cold.

The participants walked past him one by one, and Occam took a few steps up when he saw the person he was waiting for.

"The king's forces are already suspicious of this place, and they have sent people to try to think that we have transferred our armor and deliberately stayed here to create a trap to lure them to attack. They wanted to figure out what was going on inside the mountain, so they couldn't do what they wanted, but they had to make sure it was attractive enough for them. The man next to Occam said, he was the commander-in-chief here, Lieutenant Colonel Cromwell.

"The situation has been reported to the Chief, and consent has been obtained, and the Imperial team remaining here will do their best to cooperate with our actions in the future. In addition, the headquarters will send various kinds of assistance to this area within two weeks. Get ready, there will be some signals from the Intelligence Section to attract powerful surgeons from the King's forces to come over. You and Janet work with the Empire's squad and concentrate on dealing with these people. ”

"Understood, Lieutenant Colonel. Occam replied rather seriously, "Then in the interrogation, do you start to involve that team?"

"Yes, I'll let them know. It is hoped that after the interrogation, information will be obtained about those who escaped the siege. The stronghold will not be very far, and there are only a few gathering towns that meet the requirements and are close to the old mining area. There is no need to save on personnel, and many people are nested in the mining area and have not enjoyed the sun for months. As long as they don't do too well outside, try to send them out. ”

"Hide, cast your nets and wait for the next group to come in. ”

"Yes, that's what I meant. Lieutenant Colonel Cromwell said. The two came to the end of the passage as they talked, and the lieutenant colonel walked into the elevator and looked at Occam through the slowly closing protective door, "The Empire's team is strong, and the powerful enemy will be handed over to them as much as possible. The Leader has revealed that they are eager to work with us, and that there are even more powerful members of their overall force, according to Captain Lynchson of the 'Hidden Hand' team. His judgment could not be wrong. In other words, if the team that stays here thinks that the current enemy is difficult, they will contact their main team and ask them to send additional personnel. ”

The last few words were accented, and Cromwell's voice gradually became smaller as the elevator ascended: "The leader wants more people to come here and act as our strength. ”

The number in front of the elevator door went from negative to positive, and when it was thirteen, Occam shifted his footsteps, turned and walked back down the passage. At an intersection, meet Janet who is standing there.

"Pigu: They have been transferred to guard the steam furnace and the air defense system. Just as we were dealing with mercenaries and bounty hunters, someone else was sneaking in. Someone, you should know who it is, right?"

"I don't know, I almost got in touch with the man, and Milne got a head start, but it didn't work out very well. Milne is still being treated in hospital. Occam replied, "The main members are here tonight, that person should have noticed the situation and took the initiative to expose himself to attract attention, right?"

"That's basically the situation. Janet replied as she and Occam walked towards the makeshift interrogation room, "The members of the Imperial team have already passed, just in time to ask." ”

The temporary interrogation room was converted from a medical room here. The soldier stood at the doorway, saw the two Occams, and explained the situation inside in concise words. The interrogation began ahead of schedule after receiving authorization from the lieutenant colonel. I heard that it was a request from the team on the Imperial side, and of course there were people in the interrogation room, and it was Pigu and others who had accepted a new mission.

When you open the door, you can hear a screeching "whine". Bypassing the barrier at the door, I saw the ground stained red with blood, and the pungent acid breath hit the faces of the two men. The two people who were caught were tied to chairs, and pale white smoke was coming out from all over their bodies. It's a very acidic agent. Local injections are used to corrode various alloy blocks in the body of mechanically modified surgeons. It feels like its own organs are dissolving, and few people can bear it.

Tie Qing's face was almost twisted, and two people were injecting them with the potion. Soon, the pain that was inexplicably contagious to the people around him began to lessen.

"I haven't let go, but before you came, both of you nodded and said yes. Pigu walked up to Occam and explained softly, "There are apothecaries among the people on the Empire's side, and the skills of the personnel are very well matched. There are also those who are good at negotiation and interrogation, and in less than a dozen sentences, the two of them nodded. But the enemy is mercenaries and bounty hunters after all, and their mouths are easy to pry open. ”

"Have any information available?"

"One thing, in addition to what we have already guessed, is that they have the location of the stronghold around the mine, as well as the number of members and basic information. One of the most important ones is that they said that when they accepted the commission, the king's side gave them a map about the mining area. The inside of the mine is very vague, but the old mine area outside the mine is unusually detailed. These two people are described as if they were carefully measured and observed by professional surveyors. ”

"Is there a sample?" asked Janet, looking at the two of them as if they were relieved.

"In the stronghold. Here's how they answered. ”

As Pigu spoke, a man approached: "Mr. Occam, Lieutenant Colonel Cromwell has explained the situation to us. The next action is to encourage everyone to cooperate and support each other. ”
