Chapter 357: Chapter 293 Suppression
By the time Su Han dragged Nie Lin out, Zhang Zhengguo and the others had already assembled the combat personnel and were waiting outside the door.
They saw that Nie Lin was almost being dragged out, looking like a dead dog, which made their eyelids twitch involuntarily. Even a Third Order was being treated this way?
“What’s this about?”
It had only been a moment, but everyone was fully armed, to Su Han’s genuine surprise.
“Nie Lin and the others have been captured. Even if Wang Lihu can’t immediately confirm what has happened, he will eventually find clues.”
Su Han smiled and said, “What, do you plan to wage war against them with just this group of people?”
He wasn’t underestimating Zhang Zhengguo; the fighting force they could muster was at most a hundred people at best, and their strength was uneven.
Su Han didn’t think that Zhang Zhengguo’s confidence originated from him, considering he had not informed Zhang Zhengguo about his own strength.
“There are Third Order monsters in the industrial park; we plan to throw them near there and make it look like a monster attack.”
“Quite the agile thinker.”
Su Han praised before saying, “Too much trouble, and it’s unrealistic. Disperse the group, and you, come with me to the West Mountain Villa area.”
“What?”@@@@
Zhang Zhengguo revealed a look of astonishment, thinking he might have heard wrong.
“...They have almost ten thousand men, and both Wang Lihu and Zhou Ge are Third Order...”
“I don’t repeat myself, this is your opportunity.”
Su Han’s calm gaze rested on Zhang Zhengguo. Technically, considering the care Zhang Zhengguo had provided for Gan Xinglei’s parents and in-laws, along with guiding him to find them, he deserved a proper reward.
But now, having observed how Zhang Zhengguo handled matters, Su Han felt he could provide him with an even better opportunity.
“Don’t worry, Li Qiulong, these people are not mere cannon fodder. On the contrary, I might not even put them in the front lines this time.”
“Oh?”
Li Qiulong let out a light exclamation, his expression puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
A shadow of darkness crossed Wang Lihu’s stern face: “The Armed Forces from Linshui City have already extended their reach here. A single battalion has a Third Order Contractor, and with those cannons, do you think if they get a solid foothold, there would still be room for us?”
Li Qiulong’s expression also grew solemn; the arrival of Linshui City’s Armed Forces was an important reason for his agreement to join forces.
After all, he didn’t want anyone or any power to restrict him.
Nobles and generals, would they rather be seeds or plants?
Having climbed up from the chaos and apocalypse, he certainly did not want to lose what he now had and revert to being a sales clerk.
“We’ve all got a fair amount of blood on our hands, and we’ve killed our share of officials; we all know this, no need to say it outright.”
Wang Lihu steered the conversation; they were all aware of where their firearms had come from.
“We can’t directly confront the Armed Forces, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stall them.”
Wang Lihu was clear-headed as he said, “We don’t just want to capture the rift at Xiaoyue Lake and secure more resources; we also want to pre-emptively drive back Linshui City’s Armed Forces and foil their plans. As our Contractors’ strengths grow stronger and the relevance of guns and cannons reduce, then nobody can take away the status of Huiyuan City.”
Li Qiulong frowned; the plan was doubtlessly correct, but what did this have to do with conscription?
“What does this have to do with conscription?”
A barely detectable look of contempt flashed in Wang Lihu’s eyes; this Li Qiulong truly was a fool, but such people were easier to control.
“Recruit people into the fold, involve them in cooperative fighting, share the benefits, and then slowly assimilate them. When the time is right, natural expansion will occur.”
Wang Lihu certainly had his plans, and Li Qiulong finally understood the great man’s scheme before him. Just as he was about to speak, a bustle of noisy voices came.
