Chapter 82: Heading to the Powder Magazine
Chapter 82: Heading to the Powder Magazine
It was a dark night.
In the bathtub on the second floor of the farm barn, Mia woke up from a coma. The corrosion caused by the blood flowing in her body brought her waves of pain. She opened her eyes, her memory still lingering on the rapidly enlarging fist shadow in her sight. The film-like camouflage props on the surface of her face were removed, revealing the original soft lines.
"Name."
A cold voice sounded, but Mia could not hear any warmth from it. She felt very regretful. If she had successfully approached the window before, she could jump out and mobilize the guards. However, the enemy was not the expected Berlin Palace Wolf Shadow Knight, and the speed and distance of the attack were greater than that of the Tough Sword.
Seeing that the other party adopted a non-violent and non-cooperative mode, Jiang He snapped his fingers. After self-hypnosis, this had become a switch for him to activate some of his abilities. Since it had become a physical instinct, the speed was much faster than activating the skills from start to finish.
In just a moment, her blood began to boil and Mia felt as if boiling iron was flowing all over her body. Her quiet face suddenly became hideous and distorted.
She was about to scream.
A small crow flew by and accurately dropped white liquid from the air, and the blood servant punishment stopped.
Mia looked confused and smacked her lips. When she realized it was bird droppings, her face turned pale and she immediately fell into a state of continuous dry heaving, which caused her to twitch intermittently.
"Name." Jiang He asked.
Mia was much more honest this time and whispered, "Mia."
Jiang He nodded and snapped his fingers again.
Mia's blood started boiling again, her eyes widened in pain, veins popped out on her forehead, and because she didn't want to taste the bird droppings again, she tried her best to keep her voice down and scream.
"That's really my name. My last name is Mi!"
Wuhe landed on someone's shoulder and whispered, "There is indeed someone with the surname Mi."
Jiang He had a blank expression on his face. Didn't he look like he had no common sense?
"age."
Blood Servant Punishment stops.
Mia was still frightened. She seemed to have seen her health value on the panel burning. There was no end time written on the "blood servant state".
"Twenty-three. Sir, I am a Prussian lieutenant colonel. Even if I am captured, I have the right to seek humane treatment."
The sound came from the fingertips for the third time.
"No, I don't want humane treatment!"
Jiang He said calmly: "You are not as firm as I thought."
Mia took several deep breaths to calm herself down. She was not a real Prussian, and compared to the safety of her own life, everything this identity implied seemed worthless.
Jiang He glanced at the gold pocket watch that the scarlet card opened and said, "Three hours later, order all the new recruits to assemble at the ammunition depot. You can come up with your own reason."
Mia roughly guessed the other party's purpose and answered with a bitter face, "Mr. Knight, if this batch of new recruits suffer heavy casualties before the war, I will be sent to a military court. Given the tense situation on the battlefield of Leden, they will definitely be shot."
"Then you fake your death."
"But I finally got promoted to lieutenant colonel."
Upon hearing this, Jiang He threw a punch forward with such force that it broke the opponent's nose.
Mia covered her face in pain, blood flowing from between her fingers.
Jiang He said, "You are afraid of death, so you have no choice. This matter is based on the premise that you become a blood slave. Since you have been defeated, you must be prepared for defeat. You should know that I respect you very much." Mia knew what the other party meant. She looked good, but she had no choice but to become a blood slave. Things did not develop in a direction that was inappropriate for children, which only showed that she had greater value, but she must show it.
Thinking of this, she was actually a little grateful.
"Stop it. Don't fall for this evil guy's PUA."
Mia secretly warned herself that she would definitely not be able to keep her current status. What she had to consider now was how to recover the losses to the greatest extent possible. It was not advisable to indulge in meaningless emotional behavior. Strictly speaking, she had already obtained the title of lieutenant colonel, and the only loss was the military merit accumulated from lieutenant colonel to colonel, which was not yet unbearable.
Jiang He said calmly: "Our status is not equal. I can bear the failure of the operation, but whether you can bear the cost of death depends on you. Think carefully before you speak."
Mia thought for a while and said, "I am in charge of your operation this time. The British command must accept my surrender and give me a reward. I want to surrender and be promoted to colonel."
Wuhe sent a message to someone through the channel: "General title promotion must have a basis that meets the standards. The Origin game does not support the behavior of brushing titles. In addition, the identity titles obtained from the Bronze Age world will have a corresponding reduction in the initial identity in the Silver Age world. Otherwise, they will remain the same. The regulations are very complicated. Judging from the current situation, if she only issues an order, the result is likely to fail, because this is not the credit of her target identity. She must obtain permission from the headquarters and switch camps in advance."
Jiang He understood. In short, destroying the Filler would cause Mia's reputation in the Prussian camp to decline, but it did not mean that her reputation in the British camp would definitely increase, so the other party asked to communicate with the command center in advance.
In theory, this is a reasonable request.
But Wuhe gave a professional judgment that as long as the radio used by the warring parties to communicate with each other is sent, it means there is a problem and the possibility of being intercepted is too great to be ignored. At this stage, the coding method is fixed, and the radio equipment lacks effective anti-decryption capabilities. The action team does not have a normal channel to communicate with the command center.
"There are two ways. One is that I control the birds to find Lieutenant General Summerford and negotiate face to face. The other is that you ask Si Ning to think of a way to see if she can contact the Colonel, the quartermaster of the Lemon family, and then have the Colonel find Summerford."
Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, "Choose one."
Wuhe nodded, diverted his attention and took action.
Half an hour later, the trumpet crow landed on the table, dipped its claws in ink, and simply copied the camp's orders.
The name of the plan is Operation Private. The commander is Mia, the foreign intelligence officer of King's Shield. The operators are Grey Knight, Red Knight, Porcupine Knight and Wildebeest Knight. The plan requires the destruction of the Prussian recruit training camp before dawn.
Mia leaned over and asked curiously, "Is this thing effective?"
Wuhe rolled his eyes, "No, but you have to take it to the British headquarters, and then Lieutenant General Summerford will recognize it."
Not long after, Mia received a notification sound indicating that her camp had changed.
Jiang He said: "At five in the morning, have all the new recruits gather in front of the gunpowder depot to transport the gunpowder. After the explosion, a crow will lead you to the designated location to meet us."
"I'm the commander," Mia complained quietly, watching the guy leave through the window.
The trumpet crow remains on the table.
Mia was surprised, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Of course I'm going to keep an eye on you."
Wuhe was combing his feathers out of boredom.
……
Outside the farm barn.
Jiang He went straight to the gunpowder depot. He still had more than a hundred chaos bombs on hand and urgently needed to replenish them.
The amount of artillery shells stored in the Prussian powder magazine is worth looking forward to. According to the rumors circulating in various companies, in March, a novice artilleryman accidentally hit the powder magazine behind the enemy's defense line because of a deflected shell on the Verdun battlefield, causing 450,000 shells to explode. This number only accounts for a fraction of the Prussian artillery shell production during the entire war.
For Jiang He, once the total number of chaos bombs produced exceeds 1000, the quality of the chaos explosion engineer will be upgraded, which is even more important than the side quest.
