Chapter 1158: The Ghost of Death (8)
Danriel wondered if this would be a counterattack from Charros's back. There are a total of ten knight squires who have entered a small country this time, and they are in charge of different areas in coordination with different special organs of the empire. Casting a wide net, several special agencies learned some necessary information about the organization as early as a dozen years ago because of an accidental incident. It's just that the sense of smell of the tissue behind Charros is extremely sensitive, of course, this must be because of the forces that protect it. They all know that it is a reminder given by people in high positions in the four forces of the empire, but with the power of special organs, they can't influence anything.
Most importantly, when the organization perceives that it is being investigated, it will act like a gecko almost every time, and will never hesitate to cut off its own tail. In addition, the status of special agencies in the empire is not very high, and compared with the special operations agencies within the empire, their rights and scope of activities are limited to a small country. When it comes to the internal forces of the empire, the special organs have little right to intervene in it, and they don't dare to go too deep.
But Danriel couldn't figure out what was at stake, and this time the counterattack was obviously too different from the previous style of the organization. Bold, one could even say reckless adventure. The reason why the Imperial Council asked them to help deal with these matters was precisely because the organization would not send forces to deal with it at will.
While thinking about it, the convoy had already traveled a long distance after hitting the road. In the wee hours of the morning, there were almost no other cars on the road, and it was unusually quiet. In a few cars, most of them were silent, and few people spoke.
The communication that Danriel had been looking forward to for a long time was coming. When the communicator actually sounded, it was more than twenty minutes after the convoy left the mine area. Cromwell's voice was tired, and the surgeon's body, as well as the brain that had evolved over a long period of time, still seemed a little overwhelmed in this situation.
"Nothing was found, and I asked the team at the mine base to pay attention, but there was still no sign of Mr. Patrick. Cromwell began by stating the conclusion of his investigation, "After you send me a call, the prepared team will go to the storage warehouse. There was an accident on the way, and when there were still a few hundred meters away, the warehouse exploded. The artillery and platinum powder bombs inside were all detonated, and the chain reaction caused a fire to ignite there. Originally, there was an automatic fire extinguishing device, but due to the damage of the steam furnace, the water pump could not be turned on due to the loss of power. I had them blow up a few of the mines that connected them, and when they ran out of air, they would automatically extinguish 、、、"
There was a pause with this, and there was a loud noise from there, as if there was a huge argument between the people next to Cromwell over something.
"The collapsed mine was reopened only five minutes ago, and the accumulated combustible air exploded twice, but fortunately the fire did not rekindle. The team went in with a dozen or so surgeons to examine it, and Miss Danriel can imagine that if there was anything left there, in the fire and explosion, all that would be left would be charred ruins and ashes, and as for the rest, sorry, there really wasn't anything of value to be found. I think now we have to wait for Mr. Patrick to contact you himself. ”
"Thank you. Danriel replied a little tiredly. The bad feeling from not long ago came back to him, and Danriel cut off the contact, and asked his subordinates to set up a program on the communication machine, no longer accepting the natural frequency of the Cromwell communicator.
Opening the window, Danriel rested her hand on the window, blowing the cold wind, and looking at the dark scenery flowing on the side of the road. After carefully recalling the words at that time again, the sensitivity of women and the insight of the sixth sense finally made Daniel sigh. Bad premonitions have become a voice that is believed by 80% or 90% in the heart. Not deciding to contact MacDonald's side immediately, the remaining one or twenty percent made Danriel give Patrick four times as much time.
Two hours later, it was also the moment when the mine base was under attack by the king's forces. If there was no contact at that time, Danriel would have to treat it as death.
Soon after, green indicators lit up one after another on the communication equipment. Each time it flashes, the gear counter of the communication machine automatically sorts out a string of six-digit numbers. Those were the code names of the members who had come to the small country, and the communication indicated that they had left the mine base and arrived in a safe area.
The convoy moved forward without stopping, because of the situation at the general air defense base, they did not dare to approach the nearest city at all. The roads that connect the city have also been avoided. Soon after entering the road, the direction gradually moved away from the mountain range where the mine base was located, and took another road in a straight and inclined horizontal line, which was considered to follow the boundary line between the two forces.
It is a risky act, but when you think that the other party's full attention should be on the mine base at the moment, the danger will be reduced to almost nothing.
Shortly after the convoy left the mine base, in the darkness behind it, it was unknown who noticed the rearview mirror. There may have been only a small time difference, but by the time the convoy slowed down, the night sky in the direction of the mine base was already a dull red. Within a few minutes, the red color gradually became vivid, and a large amount of light was cast into the sky, dyeing large areas of the night a dark red.
The attack of the king's forces arrived in the expected time, and the fate of the mine base, which lost its air defense, was already decided. Even with anti-aircraft rapid-fire machine guns, in the face of well-prepared attack formations, the planes were raised in height, and the bullets could not reach the heights at all.
The last remaining anti-aircraft weapons were largely destroyed in the first wave of bombardment. The king's forces did not care at all about the consumption of ammunition, and after the first wave of bombardment, the mine became a sea of fire. Later, the attack planes lowered their altitude and relied on precision missiles to focus on destroying various fortifications at the mine base. And those evacuated teams can't evacuate a long distance in two hours, and at the speed of the plane, it's just a matter of time and the amount of high-energy fuel they carry.
Without thinking about the issue of prisoners, the evacuated team was almost all killed under the attack of combat aircraft precision aerial bombs. Perhaps only a small number of teams that took the route of the mine mountain range would be able to ensure their safety in the end.
Shortly after the night turned red, Cromwell contacted Occam and Janet to inform them that a combat plane was heading in this direction. You need to speed up as soon as possible, and it's best if you can get to the nearest town and take shelter. Because even if the two sides are in a state of war, ordinary people, who are the cornerstone of the country, will not be actively attacked. If that doesn't work, hide in the wasteland and woods, and wait for a chance to leave.
"Try to choose to act at night, after dawn, the king's forces will definitely send planes to patrol the sky around the clock. The area radiated by the total air defense base has become their domain, everything be careful, I hope you will be able to complete the task. "I could hear the occasional explosions from Cromwell's side, and the bombardment and attacks would continue for a long time, until the mine base was reduced to black ruins.
