long night fire

"Use a flashbang.

"Launch a hypnotic bomb."

He had absolutely no intention of breaking into the basement and fighting with others.

His mind isn't all about muscles... Jiang Baimian sighed silently.

Many soldiers immediately entered the corresponding positions.

Boom!

A shell flew out of the shoulder-fired rocket launcher, blowing the wooden door apart, shaking the house a few times, and smashing the glass.

Immediately afterwards, one after another flash bombs were thrown into the basement, and the sudden burst of white light caused most of those who looked directly to lose their eyesight for a short time.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao had already quietly put on sunglasses, while those without sunglasses chose to turn their backs and close their eyes.

After the flash bomb, shells that could release hypnotic gas blasted into the destination one after another.

After waiting for too long, Dukas and Cassirer put on gas masks, led the soldiers in the same outfit, and rushed into the basement.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao also took the corresponding equipment from the soldiers next to them, and followed closely to help identify people.

As for Gnava, the hypnotic gas had no effect on him.

The basement of this manor is not too big, similar to a normal living room. As soon as Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian passed through the broken gate, they saw the scene inside.

A circle of people fell on the gray-white slate floor, and they seemed to form a circle. Everyone was wearing black robes and white masks without facial features, which looked a little sinister.

Dukas walked to a man in black robe, squatted down, uncovered the iconic mask of "anti-intellectual religion", raised his head and asked Shang Jianyao:

"Is it the target?"

"Shen Kui." Shang Jianyao reported the unconscious man's name.

so smooth?The power of regular combat?Jiang Baimian frowned suspiciously.

Dukas uncovered the masks of those people one by one, and Shang Jianyao identified their identities one by one.

But in the end, they found two people missing:

Meng Gang, who has the ability to "hypnotize", and Zhao Yixue, the second son of the Zhao family!

Chapter 48 线

When Shang Jianyao identified the unconscious people, the soldiers were not idle either. They either wore gas masks and stood around to prevent accidents, or carefully searched every corner of the basement.

At this time, a soldier shouted loudly:

"There's a door here."

In the right front corner of the basement stood a marble human statue, behind which was hidden a door that almost merged with the wall.

The soldiers tried to push the statue, but found it was very easy, because the bottom of the statue had wheels and dark rails.

With the opening of the door, a deep and dark passage appeared in front of everyone.

There were electric lights inside, but they seemed to be placed so far apart that they looked dim.

"Flash bombs, hypnotic bombs." Muscle Major Dukas gave the order again.

After a round of cleaning, he and Cassirer led some soldiers, wearing gas masks, to chase into the passage.

Jiang Baimian followed curiously, and Shang Jianyao was faster than her.

The tunnel was a bit long, and it took several minutes for the pursuers to see the exit and return to the surface.

This place is already outside the Zhao Family Manor, near the Taiwei River, in a hidden place on a hill.

"There are rut marks, and it's still very fresh." Cassirer, with dark yellow hair and short ears, squatted down and inspected it carefully.

Dukas nodded:

"Don't worry."

He picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the incident here to Phocas, asking him to send soldiers to bring the transportation.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Gnawa "shrunk" in a relatively distant place, watching all this quietly.

Pursing his lips inwardly, Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:

"I feel like something is tying a thread."

"Fishing line?" Shang Jianyao asked with a smile.

"Maybe." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.

Gnava joins their discussion:

"Meng Gang and Zhao Yixue are bait? Which fish does 'Anti-Zhijiao' want to catch?"

"It depends on the next development." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "Maybe it's not the fishing line, but the manipulation line in the old world puppet show."

While they were talking, the soldiers who were in charge of surrounding Zhao's manor in this direction drove up military vehicles one after another.

Apparently, the army green Jeep of the "Old Tuning Team" is not in it.

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Gnawa could only huddle on the trailer of a military vehicle, holding the fender with both hands, letting the wind blow through their hair.

"The rural scenery here is quite beautiful, and the architecture is also very distinctive." Jiang Baimian did as the Romans did, admiring the surrounding scenery.

In such a beautiful scenery, a large number of slaves are scattered in the fields, doing various things.

Because there were not many vehicles coming and going at this time, and the roads outside the city were full of mud, it was easier for Dukas, Cassirer and the others to follow the car tracks, stop and go, stop and go.

About 10 minutes later, the military vehicles stopped outside another manor.

Not only wheat, oats, and rye are grown here, but also vineyards.

Cassirer got out of the car, squatted down and checked, and said in a deep voice:

"It belongs to the previous car. It entered the manor."

Dukas, Jiang Baimian and others approached one after another, using their own methods to confirm.

After confirming that the car driven by Zhao Yixue and Meng Gang disappeared at the gate of the manor, Dukas looked up and said solemnly:

"This is the manor that Elder Valo loves the most. He often comes to live here."

Veteran of Valo... Jiang Baimian silently repeated the name, turned his head and looked at Shang Jianyao.

She mouthed:

"The lines are strung."

The elder named Varo was one of the real power factions in the "Original City" and was the deputy of the consul and commander-in-chief Beuris.

They have a large number of supporters in the Senate, and their philosophy is to maintain the status quo as much as possible without a catastrophe. They are called conservatives by the intelligence system of "Pangaea".

The new members of the Senate were eager for change, and gathered around Gaius under the banner of "reshaping the 'Original City' and returning citizens' land" - this is also a general, the "Original City" The head of the Eastern Legion. The intelligence system of "Pangaea" called them reformists.

In addition, there are still many generals and veterans of the monitoring system who choose to be neutral and do not participate in the disputes between the two factions. They are called centrists.Phokas, the semi-retired old guy, was among them.

This is not a secret, other major forces have grasped it, and Jiang Baimian learned about it from the information provided by the company.

After seeing Jiang Baimian's mouth shape, Shang Jianyao nodded seriously.

As for whether he really understood what he meant, Jiang Baimian didn't know.

"When it comes to Elder Valo, we can't make a decision by ourselves, we have to ask the general for instructions." Cassirer reminded his colleagues.

Although Dukas is a muscular man, he still has brains.He had no impulse, and told Phocas the result of the tracking through the walkie-talkie.

After listening to his report, Phocas said calmly:

"Suspend all actions and wait for me to come."

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian took a few steps back, distanced himself from Dukas and his gang.

When Shang Jian Yao and Gnawa came over, she said in a low voice:

"I don't know what drama will be staged later, let's just have a look and don't get involved."

"Hey, I really want to join this play and perform." Shang Jian Yao looked regretful.

Jiang Baimian let out a "huh":

"Priority."

After a while, the soldiers and combat robots who had surrounded Zhao's manor rushed over surrounded by Phocas' armored command vehicle.

Phokas summoned the two majors to communicate with each other for a few minutes and asked about the situation.

Then, he sat in the armored car and stayed quietly for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened the door of the armored vehicle, stood on the edge of the vehicle, looked around, and said loudly:

"Soldiers, I now have an order to issue."

His expression was unusually serious, and his thin, khaki hair was no longer so obtrusive.

When all the soldiers looked over, Phocas said loudly:

"You should be very clear that we are tracking down the members of the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult', a cult organization, they once assassinated Elder Sauls and brought us a mess.

"They are dangerous, they want to subvert us, they want all citizens to be their puppets, not to think, but to obey.

"For the safety of all citizens, and for the future of 'Original City', we must capture those key members as soon as possible and eliminate this organization. During this process, no matter who is involved in the front, and there are any obstacles, we must not back down. The consequences will be borne by me.

"Also, we have the consul's warrant, and everything is in compliance with the laws of the 'Original City'."

After listening to Phocas's speech, many soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly:

"General! General!"

Driven by this atmosphere, the rest of the soldiers also shouted.

After the cries subsided, Phocas pointed to Varo's manor:

"Soldiers, I order you to take over here and allow shooting!"

At this moment, he was like an old lion glowing with his original might.

"Yes, General!" The soldiers responded in unison.

Phocas nodded in satisfaction, and assigned tasks methodically.

As before, some soldiers took part of the battle robots and dispersed to surround the entire manor. The remaining soldiers and battle robots followed the two majors Dukas and Cassirer and flocked to the gate of Valo Manor.

When passing by Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Gnawa, Dukas paused and asked:

"Do you want to go together?"

Jiang Baimian shook his head without hesitation:

"When you take over, we will recognize people."

Dukas left the hiding place without persuasion.

After watching them approach the manor, disarm the guards at the gate, and drive straight in, Jiang Baimian looked away and looked at Phocas, who was protected by many soldiers.

The general sat in the co-pilot position of the armored command vehicle, looking intently at Varo's manor, calm and majestic.

Suddenly, a bang resounded through the sky.

There is an explosion in the estate of Elder Varo.

Immediately afterwards, dense gunshots rang out, mixed with "booms" of different heights.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but let out a low laugh, because it was about the same as what she expected.

"Something will really happen..." She sighed to Shang Jianyao and Gnawa.

"No idea." Shang Jianyao criticized.

The sounds of fierce fighting only lasted for a short period of time, and Valo's manor quickly returned to calm.

After a while, a military vehicle that entered the manor drove out.

Dukas and Cassirer jumped out of the car one after another, and saluted Phokas from a distance:

"General, the mission is complete, all the targets have been captured!"

Phocas, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, nodded and asked loudly:

"Why don't you just report over the walkie-talkie?"
