Chapter 921 - Going Back (1/2)
The next morning, the Wang Consortium's seven-man team arrived outside the command post after their short rest. They wanted to discuss the next step of the battle plan with Ren Xiaosu in detail.
However, it was P5092 who greeted them. He told them, ”Future Commander just left a bit ago. If you have any battle plans that require our cooperation, you can speak with me.”
Wang Run was stunned. ”Where'd he go?”
”He and Ms. Xiaojin have gone out to the wilderness to look for the expeditionary army's supply convoy.” P5092 said, ”Only by taking out more of the expeditionary army's supply convoys can we attract more of their main forces.”
Wang Run asked, ”Based on what I know, he's the future commander of the Northwest, so why is he personally going to the front line?”
P5092 answered calmly, ”It's a tradition of our Northwest. Just get used to it.”
At this moment, Wang Run recalled that when he and Ren Xiaosu went to Stronghold 31 to carry out the mission to assassinate Kong Erdong, Wang Shengzhi had ordered him to assist Ren Xiaosu in case he failed.
He was already prepared to make his move when Ren Xiaosu did not show any signs of taking action. But when Ren Xiaosu finally made his move, he nearly took out all of Stronghold 31.
”By the way,” P5092 said, ”the future commander ordered me to ask you something before he left.”
Wang Run asked, ”What is it?”
”Back then, he ordered you to protect those people from the Trinity Institute at Stronghold 31. Why did you leave them midway?” P5092 said.
”I received an order from the higher-ups to retreat. A soldier must obey their orders, so of course we decisively pulled out,” Wang Run answered calmly.
”The future commander expected you to answer this way. But he said that since you've come to our Northwest's camp this time, you'll have to accept the arrangements made by our Northwest Army. If you criticize our battle plans, he'll beat your brains out,” P5092 said.
Off to the side, Zhang Xiaoman praised softly, ”The stoic commander looks really cool when he's saying those harsh words with such seriousness.”
However, Wang Run's expression remained unchanged. He smiled. ”Don't worry, I wasn't planning on coming here to command your troops. I only wanted to share some information with you guys.”
P5092 nodded. ”That's good then.”
But Wang Run suddenly felt that P5092 looked a little familiar. ”Wait a minute, aren't you the Pyro Company's…”
”That's me,” P5092 admitted.
Immediately after, Wang Yun and Ji Zi'ang also returned from outside. Wang Run looked at the two of them and found them very familiar as well. ”Aren't the two of you… from the Kong and Zhou Consortiums?”
Wang Yun was amused. ”That's right, we've both joined the Prosperous Northwest.”
Wang Run was the field intelligence director of the Wang Consortium, so he still had some understanding of the other organizations. However, his memory was not as good as Wang Yun's, so he was a little unsure of their backgrounds.
After receiving confirmation from Wang Yun, P5092, and Ji Zi'ang, Wang Run was plunged into a state of confusion. If anyone did not know better, they would think this was the joint forces of the Kong Consortium, the Pyro Company, the Zhou Consortium, and the Northwest.
Why were there people hailing from everywhere here?!
The news of the Pyro Company dealing with P5092 and changing their commander had caused quite a stir. When Wang Run heard that P5092 had been kidnapped, he did not expect him to be taken here to the Northwest Army.
With that in mind, the identity of the kidnapper also surfaced.
At this moment, the radio in the command post crackled. When P5092 answered it, Ren Xiaosu's anxious voice rang out, ”Prepare for battle. I've discovered a large group of the expeditionary army advancing towards Mt. Zuoyun!”
Then Ren Xiaosu hung up. After a brief silence in the command post, P5092 shouted to a staff officer, ”Summon the four regimental commanders for a meeting. We're in for a tough battle!”
