Chapter 910 - Youve Painted Yourself Into A Corner (2/2)

P5092 carefully drew and wrote on the map to mark the strategic military locations he had in mind. As a result, he marked more than 200 coordinates.

Ren Xiaosu wondered, ”What are these coordinates that you labeled?”

”If anyone sends troops from the Central Plains to the Northwest in the future, these strategic locations will have the best terrain to deal with the enemies,” P5092 said.

”Do you think that the barbarians will fight their way to the Northwest?” Ren Xiaosu shook his head. ”Although I think that this war against the expeditionary army will be very difficult, I don't think that they can defeat the Pyro Company and the Wang Consortium in the end. I mainly say so because of the Wang Consortium. I think that for someone who plans to unite the Central Plains, they'll definitely be well-prepared. It's impossible that they can't deal with the expeditionary army.”

The only thing that worried them was the Wang Consortium's attitude. Ren Xiaosu felt that the Wang Consortium would sooner or later sabotage the Pyro Company again in this war. When the barbarians invaded, the stronghold residents and refugees, including the Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium, would all suffer.

Ren Xiaosu was even worried the Wang Consortium's schemes would backfire on them as they sabotaged others.

”I'm not worried about the expeditionary army.” P5092 glanced at Ren Xiaosu. ”I'm worried about the Wang Consortium.”

”So that's what you mean.” Ren Xiaosu nodded. ”I guess there might just be a war then.”

After that, P5092 continued with his research.

The three people on the train did not notice a hawk in the sky following them. It looked like it was very curious about the steam locomotive.

The hawk looked very small up in the sky, but that was because it was so far away. In actual fact, the hawk was completely made up of an energy source. Its wingspan was eight meters long, so it would definitely be considered a large presence in the sky.

After following the steam locomotive for some time, the hawk turned around and flew northwards, soaring past the expeditionary army and arriving at the grasslands.

Many tents had been erected here in the northeast of the grasslands. The hawk suddenly descended towards Hassan before changing into a purple mass of energy and entering his body.

Ever since they drank the blood wine bestowed by the gods, Hassan, Kirghiz Yan, and Bulan Zir had awakened into superhumans. The hawk was Hassan's power.

He turned around and walked towards the imperial court's royal tent. The nomads had avoided the expeditionary army, but their original plan of going to the East Sea to go fishing was suddenly put on hold. They temporarily stopped here and did not continue heading east.

Hassan walked into the gloomy tent where Yan Liuyuan and Xiaoyu were sitting next to a fire pit.

Yan Liuyuan looked extremely dignified in his ferocious-looking faceplate. Hassan said respectfully, ”Master, the hawk has returned with the information that you wanted.”

”Speak,” Yan Liuyuan said as he looked up.

”The war in the south has already broken out. The northern tribe is currently split up on two fronts fighting the Pyro Company and the Wang Consortium. We still can't tell who's winning at this time.” Hassan said, ”Stronghold 176 has probably been massacred. There's only corpses left there now, and it's become a place where wild dogs and vultures revel. It's only spring, but there's already a large number of flies swarming around the place. When those flies get up into the air, they become a dark mass that covers the sky. It's an extremely terrifying sight to behold.”

Yan Liuyuan sighed. He did not expect Stronghold 176 to still be destroyed in the end. ”Is there anything else?”

”By the way, the hawk saw the train that you mentioned in an area between the battlefields. But the strange thing is there's tracks that pave themselves in front of the train, and it can even cross mountains too. It's wondrous,” Hassan said.

Yan Liuyuan was stunned. ”Did that train have four or sixteen carriages?”

Xiaoyu suddenly grasped the corners of her shirt tightly but did not say anything.

Hassan replied, ”Master, it was sixteen carriages.”
