Chapter 782: Chapter 555 Colonel’s Arrangent
For Black, it was not that the natural electromagnetic shield would have any adverse effect on it, but under such circumstances, Mu Fan would lose his ability to act like a Heavenly Eye as he could on Blue Capital Star, which was covered by the Light Computer network.
Mu Fan would to a great extent lose help from Black. Unbeknownst to the other mbers of the Flying Dragon squadron, this assessnt had coincidentally stripped Mu Fan of his greatest support.
Hearing Black’s words, Mu Fan showed no particular expression. For him, the more extre the environnt, the more he needed his own strength. Wasn’t that quite normal?
Black fell silent for a mont when it detected through the wristwatch that Mu Fan’s heartbeat didn’t even show the slightest change…
Because Mu Fan didn’t respond to it, Lord Black wondered how to proceed with the conversation.
“Mu Fan, aren’t you worried?”
“Worried about what?” At the mont, the solo flyer had entered the atmosphere and begun its rapid descent. Mu Fan tightly gripped the narrow cabin handle, his strong physique helping him avoid Black’s scrutiny.
“Aren’t you panicked about being trapped in such a desperate situation?” Black tried to guide Mu Fan’s thoughts bit by bit.
“Oh, not panicked.”
Black: …
Then, Mu Fan suddenly felt a sense of grievance emanating from the intelligent life in his ears. Black, not willing to give up, continued to ask, “But you won’t have the vision and intelligence I provide!”
“Oh, I’m used to it.” Mu Fan tightened his grip on the cabin handle. “If I relied too heavily on external things, I probably would have died before even eting you.”
In the virtual space inside the wristwatch, a giant wall of steel erged in front of Black. Then its electronic eyes closed into a slit, as it started to bang its head against the wall.
Mu Fan had no idea about Black’s frustration, but was contemplating what the real battlefield would be like.
Finally, just before the flyer crashed to the ground, Black laughed unabashedly, catching Mu Fan’s attention. After a cough, it said nonchalantly,
“However, Mu Fan, the situation may not be as bad as you imagine,” it coughed again. “As long as there are electronic components, I can be anywhere! Like the encrypted communication channels of the military. This way, I’m not useless, hahaha~~~”
“This is indeed…”
Boom!
The descending flyer landed heavily on the ground, causing Mu Fan, firmly secured in the pilot seat, to shudder intensely.
“…good news.”
This flyer was by far the most user-unfriendly piece of equipnt Mu Fan had ever experienced.
With a hiss, the cabin began to equalize pressure. Mu Fan put on his respirator and actively pushed open the hatch.
Inside the makeshift base of the 149th Division in the Tushan Battle Zone, Colonel Quinton sat alone in an anti-air bunker reinforced with tens of tons of steel. His greedy gaze was fixated on the light screen, listing the latest mining yield of the week and smuggled transactions with interstellar black market traders conducted by his private troops.
“So what if I got in through the back door? So what if I can’t fight? If I were as good as the rest of you at fighting, I’d be dead by now or on my way to die in so new war zone.”
“Hmph, soone dared to sneak information to the Military Departnt, but do you think this is a fully developed planet? Without proper communication, do you think you can send out intelligence? Or do you think you’re more important than the silver and gold I sent out? Ridiculous…”
“Which unit in the troops stationed on Planet E73 is clean? Oh, right, except for that old-fashioned, stubborn fool.”
At this thought, Quinton scratched his chin and had a flash of insight: “Right, isn’t the Fremont Trading Group from the Hinchlo Business Alliance in need of high-quality rare earths? And that fool’s controlled territory just happens to have it!”
“That ans…” Rembering the Sky Communication he received earlier, a gleam of cunning flashed in Quinton’s eyes.
Drip, drip, drip.
This was the dedicated wired communicator for the secret chamber, which the aide had long beco accustod to his style.
“What is it?” Mu Fan answered the Sky Communication, his voice laced with irritation.
“Reporting, sir, a flying vehicle just landed 3 kiloters east of the base. According to signal identification, it cos from the higher echelons of the Military Departnt. Based on your requirents, the area with the highest mortality rate right now is the Tushan West Valley War Zone. If you have no further instructions, I will arrange for it to go there.” Through the secret channel, the aide was conducting a routine personnel allocation report.
No one saw the sly smile that crossed Mu Fan’s face at that mont.
Just what I was thinking of…
“Cancel that arrangent. Is the Fire Hills area not under the jurisdiction of Colonel Liang Chuan’s frontline garrison?”
The aide sounded startled, but quickly responded, “Yes, it falls under the 27th Infantry Battalion of the 104th Division, commanded by Colonel Liang Chuan. In the last month, Fire Hills has seen conflict five tis, less than the eight tis in Tushan West Valley, making it a moderately intense region. It borders the area garrisoned by our division.”
“I seem to recall that the troops stationed in the Fire Hills had sent out several requests for reinforcents, hadn’t they?”
This ti, the aide hesitated for a few seconds, probably recalling the events, but quickly replied, “Yes, sir, about a week ago, Fire Hills requested reinforcents from us, regarding equipnt and supplies, but we did not respond to them at the ti.”
“Then I rembered correctly… Heh heh, do this—arrange for two supply trucks, ten Exoskeleton Armors, five hundred battery units, a hundred and fifty Pulse Rifles, four boxes of standard ammunition, and then send them a week’s rations for a hundred n.”
“Ah? Colonel Mu Fan, are we providing supply support to the Fire Hills area? Our warriors need those supplies just as much.”
“Yes, we’re going to support them, and then have that youngster who just arrived take care of delivering the supplies. Of course, he doesn’t need to co back after that. He can familiarize himself with military life just as well over there.”
Holding the Sky Communication in his hand, Mu Fan’s gaze was fixed on the light screen in front of him, showing the purchase prices of high-quality rare earth tals. The sight of the string of numbers brought a flash of greed to his face.
You can’t get output without input. Now that you’re here, you might as well play your part to the fullest.
With this, his plan seed ready to unfold perfectly.
The Military Departnt sent significant reinforcents, increasing the offensive capabilities in the Fire Hills area, creating a breach, tearing through the defenses of the Gardot Frontier Army.
Likely, the troops stationed in Fire Hills wouldn’t have ti to react.
Then with the ssage clarified, he would strike imdiately, replacing the friendly forces to seize control of the area—it was simply…
Perfect!
He now suddenly felt that the rookie the higher echelons had sent him was a gift from heaven.
As to whether he was a relative of so big shot, he simply didn’t believe it.
If it was a relative, they certainly wouldn’t send him to the front lines.
Even if it was indeed a relative, who could be blad if he died?
Without advance notice, how could there be no casualties in battle?
Within the thick anti-air raid chamber, Colonel Mu Fan let out a burst of hearty, satisfied laughter.
