Chapter 366: Three Generals and Four Leaders (1/2)
After taking a deep breath, Yan Kui pushed the door and entered the room. Inside, there was a third-quarter circle table, and seven men sat behind the table.
His eyes immediately met with his immediate superior, Major General Shi Yan. Yan Kui shook his head, telling him that the talk did not go through.
Shi Yan was a man in his late forties. His hair started to turn gray and had muddy eyes. He was wearing a serene expression while nodding his head, indicating he understood.
Next to Shi Yan was the youngest General, the newly appointed Major General, Wu Shuan. He was First Lieutenant before but promoted to Major General after capturing the building he was standing in right now.
Next to Major General Wu Shuan was another newly appointed Major General as well. The man worked together with Major General Wu Shuan to capture the base. He was Zuo Ren, in his early forties with sharp eyes.
Next to Zuo Ren was Huo Shihong, the leader of the Flame Castle faction. Xu Cheng, the leader of Xu Group sat next to Huo Shing. The last two seats were filled by Tong House's leader and Dragon Wings' leader, Tong Zedong and Lu Huang Tu.
Yan Kui walked around and stood in front of the seven important figures in the establishment. It was a lie if he was not nervous, especially after he failed to complete the mission.
However, he maintained his composure in front of the seven people and bowed his head.
Wu Shuan waved his hand at Yan Kui, ”Skip the formality, get to your report directly!”
”Alright,” Yan Kui then started his story, he exaggerated a little, adding some spices in it. He told the seven people that he was treated poorly. A dirty room to sleep and plain soup for the meal.
On top of that, he told them how Tang Shaoyang and the other survivors disrespected the military force. He was telling as unpleasant as possible while maintaining a certain degree of realism in his story.
”Ah, the leader also told me that they were establishing an empire, The Empire of Tang! He would not listen to our request just because we asked them to! The same for Yu Shun's case, Yu Shun has become his people so he would not hand over him to us!” Yan Kui finished his story with an upsetting tone.
Major General Zuo Ren furrowed his brow, ”An empire?”
”Yes, an empire. I have seen them armed with swords and bows. They look so organized for a civilian base. One more, they have two individuals with healing capability,” Yan Kui nodded his head earnestly.
”Healing capability? Are you talking about skills, right?” Major General Wu Shuan opened his mouth. He looked interested as soon as he heard this.
”I am not sure, but one of his subordinates stabbed one of my men after having a little argument. The other three tried to help, but we were outnumbered,” Yan Kui recounted the story with a helpless tone.
”I did not do anything because we are being outnumbered, but the leader sent these two individuals to heal the injured. I think they did that on purpose to show their power to us,” he voiced out his thoughts.
”Interesting,” General Wu Shuan showed an interesting expression. This was Yan Kui's goal, inciting their desire to conquer the base. If they captured the base, they could get the individual with the healing abilities.
”Then who's this leader, do you know his name?” Major General Shi Yan opened his mouth.
”I know his name, he is Tang Shaoyang. I have tried to dig up some information, but the survivors in the base did not know him much,” Yan Kui shook his head.
