Cataclysm King - #342 - Chapter 342 Song Can’s Plan
The battle in Starfall City broke out in confusion.
Whether it was the people from the Oran Royal Court or the vanguard of the Iris Ninth Legion, neither side knew why the conflict suddenly broke out.
And in a very short period of time, the battle caused huge casualties.
Under normal circumstances, even if two hundred vanguards led by a sixth-order dragonborn are defeated, they can at least be in a stalemate for a long time.
But some career sequences are good at one-to-many.
If it were another legendary card master to deal with these two hundred dragonborn card masters, they might really be dragged to death here.
It’s a pity that the existence of Domingo, the “Drama God” and the Four Horsemen of the King, makes the balance of victory and defeat almost one-sided.
With just a few tricks and spells, 80% of the two hundred people were lost.
But it was an urban street battle after all. After most of the Ninth Legion’s vanguards were killed by the puppet legions, a few survivors managed to escape through the cover of the city.
They also passed on the information immediately.
Although there were many casualties in this reconnaissance operation, there were also results.
At least one thing is confirmed, there must be something fishy in this city.
Ji Xun guessed that there must be experts from the Iris Legion to reinforce them, and Starfall City was about to face a big battle. So he didn’t dare to delay for a moment, and rode his motorcycle to blend in with the fleeing people and gallop out.
“Sudden, sudden, sudden”
The steam boiler roared loudly.
In the wilderness, countless motorcycles galloped like a herd of galloping buffaloes with full firepower, raising dust all over the sky.
The convoy that had just left the city had not had time to disperse, and Ji Xun was among them, staring at the inconspicuous modified car a few hundred meters ahead from time to time.
Three minutes ago, he watched a fat man with a mustache get into the car in a panic.
It was Song Can, an old acquaintance.
The most taboo thing when fleeing war is to show off your appearance. The more high-profile you are, the more likely you will be treated as a fat sheep by the enemy’s pursuers.
And this armored vehicle mixed in the convoy is very inconspicuous, but it is very reasonable.
However, Ji Xun had previously thought that with this guy’s cautious character, he should have escaped through some safer secret passage.
Now appearing in the crowd is a little surprising.
But it was not difficult for Ji Xun to guess the reason, and he sighed in his heart: “This fat man has really changed a lot.”
The person Song Can entrusted Catalina to take care of was not just himself.
The Song family has a big business and a lot of people who need to be protected.
In addition to family members and close relatives, the most important thing is that there are a group of top mechanical masters in the Federation.
Ji Xun has seen the Titan armor before. Even if he has the blueprints, it is extremely difficult to create this kind of mechanical equipment.
This is beyond the technological level of the current era.
If there is anyone in the entire Eastern Wasteland who can forge, it can only be the mechanics trained by the Song family at all costs over the years.
So no matter what, these scientific and technological experts must be taken away.
This is the hope of the Song family and future wars.
We don’t see those mechanics now, which means they didn’t take this evacuation route.
It is not difficult to speculate that this is a division of troops tactic.
Song Can, the head of the Song family, left the most dangerous path to himself.
Attracting the attention of the Oran Royal Court on the bright side will give others more opportunities to evacuate.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun was not in a hurry to follow.
Coming out means coming out,
The Song family’s troubles are far from being resolved.
Just by observing along the way, Ji Xun discovered that there were many people who were not guards of the Song family following him in the crowd.
These are professional espionage agents.
No matter what, the people in the Oran Palace could not give up tracking Song Can, the talkative person of the Song family.
Everything is happening according to Ji Xun’s deduction.
That “drama god” Domingo showed up in Starfall City, so it would be impossible for him to chase him.
Since there is a Titan Factory in the city, it will definitely take time to transfer people and materials.
Need expert cover.
After Domingo killed the vanguard group, he would probably continue to protect those things during their evacuation.
Even if he wanted to evacuate later, he would have to change directions to attract the firepower of the top experts in the southern continent.
Instead of chasing people who came to find the Song family.
Otherwise, the Song family would be intercepted and killed by the people from the Southern Continent, and everything would be meaningless.
This is excellent news for Ji Xun.
Even in the Oran Royal Court, there are only a few legends.
There is a Domingo in Starfall City, and there is a high probability that there will not be a second one.
As for the card master under the legend.
It is no longer a fatal threat to him now.
This also made Ji Xun secretly sigh that Song Can was really lucky.
If they hadn’t happened to encounter an attack on the southern continent, any covert evacuation plan would have been doubted and would have been extremely risky.
With Domingo, the “Drama God” here, even if the alliance army really sends top experts, they may not be able to rescue Song Can safely.
Even if it could, the losses would definitely be very heavy.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Starfall City behind him suddenly burst into flames, and the murderous dragon roar sent shivers down one’s spine.
This fighting sound is ten times more violent than before!
Ji Xun glanced back and was not surprised: “You came so fast, the seventh-level dragonborn. Is the commander of the ninth legion, Ben, here now?”
This movement scared the fleeing convoy a little faster.
Outside Starfall City is a plain wilderness.
Once you get here, it will be difficult for the enemy to chase you.
The fleeing crowd did not dare to continue to gather on the main road. Modified cars immediately turned and drove into the wilderness, running around.
The modified car Song Can was riding in also suddenly accelerated.
Although it looks unremarkable on the outside, the sophisticated modifications inside this car provide it with super power.
The car also ran into the wilderness as soon as there was an explosion behind it.
Ji Xun followed behind on a motorcycle for a while.
But after a few kilometers, he found that except for the escort vehicle, there were no other vehicles following the Song family’s convoy.
Ji Xun knew that Song Can was the secret agent who wanted to get rid of Oran Royal Court.
That’s a good idea.
However, Ji Xun’s own motivation for riding up and following him was also too obvious.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned the motorcycle around, changed its direction, and disappeared into the dark wilderness.
At the same time, he also felt those eyes staring at him disappear.
In the darkness, a muscular werewolf was perfectly hidden in the darkness, running extremely fast in the wilderness.
Ji Xun’s current speed and endurance are enough for him to easily catch up with the speeding convoy.
He just followed him, neither far nor close.
After running for nearly half an hour, the four vehicles of the Song family’s motorcade suddenly stopped at a mountain col.
“Hey, why did you stop?”
“Don’t worry so much. Protecting me is the most important thing. Keep driving!”
“Who else? I am the head of the family, you just have to protect me!”
“What do you mean?”
“.”
When Ji Xun came, he was watching a big show being performed.
Song Can was forced to stop, and several personal guards were attacked and killed on the spot before they had time to react.
Bodies lay on the ground.
At this moment, a strong man with an airplane head wearing a military green vest pulled out his steel hand knife from the chest of a corpse, turned and stared coldly at Song Can, who was being protected by two guards.
Ji Xun met.
This strong man is called “Iron Fist” Moss, a sixth-level card master and a guard captain of the Song family.
He was once famous in the federal fighting world.
A master of the “Iron Fist Style” lineage.
Looking at this posture, Ji Xun knew what was going on.
But he wasn’t in a hurry to get out.
Song Can won’t die anyway.
This situation now is the best opportunity to see clearly who has the problem among those around Song Can.
Song Can looked at the strong man with disbelief on his face: “Captain Moss, what do you mean?”
What he got in return was a cold snort.
“snort.”
Moss took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood on his palms, and said with a gloomy face: “Master, don’t pretend to be stupid. If the message hadn’t come from just now, you would have concealed it.”
As he said that, he looked at the fat man in front of him who had been with him almost day and night, and was also surprised: “Tsk, tsk, I thought that the young master was greedy for life and afraid of death, and even escaped without caring about his family. I didn’t expect that you had arranged everything a long time ago. All the personnel in the laboratory were secretly evacuated.”
“.”
As soon as these words came out, Song Can knew that he could no longer hide it, and suddenly put away the exaggerated panic on his face.
He looked at the rebellious guards in front of him with only indifference in his eyes.
Moss looked at Song Can, who suddenly looked like a different person, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
After pondering for a moment, Song Can asked: “Captain Moss, you have been in my Song family for ten years, why did you betray me?”
Moss felt that the word betrayal was harsh and corrected him: “Master, can’t you still understand the current situation? The only way out is to be loyal to the royal court. If you have no other thoughts, I will still be the captain of the Song family. Forever. All.”
“I thought you would use your old mother as an excuse.”
Song Can sneered, without any fear on his face.
Moss also suppressed a strange look on his face when he heard this. He did not dwell on this topic and said: “Master, I won’t nag you. Now tell me where Madam is, as well as Mr. Jiu and that person.” Mechanic Batch, where do you plan to transfer to? I’ll give you a chance to speak based on past friendship, but don’t force me to take action.”
Song Can didn’t answer. Hearing this, he laughed: “Hahaha”
Moss suddenly felt that the smile on that chubby face made his hair stand on end, and he asked murderously: “Why are you smiling?”
Song Can asked, “Do you know why I happened to keep your team by my side?”
Moss’s eyes turned sinister, and he suppressed his surprise and said, “Master, have you suspected us for a long time?”
Song Can acquiesced to this statement and said calmly: “If I don’t take you away, I won’t even be able to get out of Starfall City. Others can’t even think of getting out.”
Of course, he had already guessed that there was something wrong with the guard group around him.
But it can’t be processed either.
Once you reveal that you have discovered a problem, there is no point other than breaking up in advance.
And rather than letting the Oran Royal Court bribe other people, it would be better to keep a few people who know the truth around.
These traitors are hidden dangers.
But no matter what the choice is, someone has to sacrifice.
Song Can left these people by his side.
After saying this, the expressions of Moss and others all changed.
What they couldn’t understand was why they knew they had been bribed and still carried them with them?
At this time, Song Can did not hide the sarcasm in his eyes and continued: “And since you stopped me to ask, it means that you don’t have information about other evacuation routes. Shouldn’t I laugh?”
“.”
These words made the people in Moss feel a thump in their hearts, and they always had a premonition that something was going wrong.
From the moment the fat man changed his face, they felt that the situation was beyond their control.
However, it is clear that he has absolute force here.
Where did those guys’ composure come from?
“You don’t have to think that you can get information in other ways. Once I am soul-searched, or if I trigger it automatically, my memory will be erased immediately.”
Song Can looked at the traitors with changed expressions in front of him, and then added: “You can’t get any information from me. According to the methods of the Oran royal family, you will not be able to escape the blame after you return. Not only you, you all Several of them will definitely die!”
These words did not hide his pity at all.
Like a heavy hammer, the expressions of Captain Moss and others froze instantly.
yes!
I just focused on completing the task, and I haven’t considered the consequences of failing to complete the task.
No one knows the Song family’s position in the mechanical field better than these Song family guards.
These people were bribed with huge sums of money, and it was all because of the Song family that they were worth buying!
Once you don’t get the information you want, what will happen?
hiss!
At this thought, Moss and the others took a breath of cold air.
Without giving them any chance to think about it, Song Can on the opposite side continued to attack his heart: “If I were you, I would find a place to hide while I still have a lot of money, and I would be able to live happily for the rest of my life. What are you really thinking about accomplishing? Mission, you can think of your own fate.”
“.”
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Several guards on the opposite side were immediately shaken.
If just now they were just thinking about completing the mission, now they are really thinking about their options.
If you fail to complete the task, you will never dare to think about the consequences.
If you run away now, at least you can survive.
This scene left more than just a few mutinous guards confused.
Ji Xun, who was in the shadow, also looked very impressed.
Since the mother at home is not being threatened, but bribed for profit, everything can be discussed.
Almost every word Song Can said struck a chord in the other person’s heart.
“This guy has changed so much.”
Ji Xun looked at the head of the Song family who had become calm in the distance, and then thought about the fat man who was so scared by the Brotherhood that he didn’t even dare to go out in Hong Lou. He was completely different from the other person.
In the current situation, Song Can chose to attract firepower by herself, and she had to bear such risks.
Originally it looked like a dead end, but he actually thought about inciting these traitors to rebel before the battle?
No!
not now.
Ever since he accelerated to get rid of the Oran spy who was following him, the fat man had already made a plan.
But under the current circumstances, Ji Xun didn’t think those traitors would stop there.
as expected.
After hearing those words, Moss thought carefully for a moment.
Suddenly sneered.
He looked at Song Can and said: “Master, I have to admit that you are really powerful. Not only did you deceive everyone, but also made people think that you were greedy for life and afraid of death, and had a cowardly character. Who would have thought that you had such a careful mind.”
“.”
Song Can listened silently, and a hint of something bad flashed through his eyes.
He caught some of the other person’s micro-expressions and had a premonition of something. He gently stroked the storage ring with his hand, already making the final plan.
Moss smiled half-heartedly and said, “I think what you just said makes sense. After all, you are the young master, so we won’t embarrass you. It’s best to just say goodbye.”
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject and said: “However, in these troubled times, we can’t survive without some money. We have all come to this road, so you can pay some traveling expenses to the brothers. After we get the money, we will turn around and go Walk.”
“.”
As soon as these words came out, Song Can’s face suddenly darkened.
Ji Xun, who was watching the theater not far away, saw this and felt that these traitors had some ideas.
To be a guard of the Song family, one must have a bright mind.
It sounds like a few people are really planning to take the money to make trouble.
But in reality, once Song Can actually took the money, the calm aura he created was immediately broken.
If he really wants to take money, the other party will know that he has no trump card at all.
When the people are killed, the money is still theirs, and no one knows about their rebellion.
Song Can can obviously think of this too.
As soon as the other party said these words, a sneer appeared on his fat face again, and he said sarcastically: “Captain Moss. I told you so much before, just because of the many years of hard work you have done for our Song family. You just left a way to survive. Do you really think that I knew you were rebelling a long time ago and was not prepared at all?”
As he spoke, his small eyes revealed a sharp sheen like a sword. Looking at the people across from him, they didn’t even dare to look directly at him. He added: “I have given you the opportunity, so you can take care of yourself.”
This aura was so calm that there was no flaw in it, except that he almost didn’t say clearly: I still have a backup plan!
The traitors opposite were already feeling guilty, but they were suddenly frightened.
The only choice before you is one of two.
Either run away in despair, or make a desperate move.
Yet there are still outlaws.
One of the traitors raised his face and yelled: “Captain, don’t be deceived by him. If there was someone else, we would have had no chance. Even if there was someone, there is absolutely no chance of defeating us. If we don’t kill him, we will lose it in the future.” It’s absolutely impossible to have a foothold anymore!”
This is also true. Even if they survive today, once the identity of the traitor of the Song family is spread, they will not be able to see anyone in their life.
You may even be wanted for life.
But if Song Can is killed, this hidden danger will disappear.
Moreover, everyone would have thought that the Song family would definitely take a lot of valuable things with them when they fled.
Kill this guy and those things will be theirs!
After hearing this, Moss immediately made up his mind.
“.”
When Song Can heard this, he knew there was no room for maneuver. He turned his face and quietly put his hand on the storage ring.
The other party is right.
He does have a backup plan, but he is not absolutely sure that he can escape unscathed.
Song Can’s own rank was too low. No matter what kind of mechanical bombs or relics he used, he was not absolutely sure that he could kill the opponent while protecting himself.
If used, there is a high probability that both sides will suffer losses.
Even die together.
But now that everything he can do has been done, if the other party really wants to do this, Song Can can only take the last step.
As soon as he finished speaking,
When he was about to take out the magic bomb that could kill all sixth-level card masters as a life-saving device,
An unexpected turn took place.
At this time, a person suddenly walked out of the darkness: “Ahem, it seems I’m not too late.”
Just this slight cough caused Moss’s face to change suddenly.
not good!
Is there really any backup plan?
And what made him feel even more horrified was that there was someone hiding at such a close distance, but he didn’t notice it at all.
This means that the opponent’s strength is absolutely extremely strong!
On the other side, Song Can was also extremely nervous.
He never expected that someone would appear at this time.
His first reaction was that people from the Oran royal family were chasing him.
My heart skipped a beat, and I was already prepared for the worst.
However, the next second, when he saw the familiar face clearly, his pupils instantly dilated, filled with joy: “Brother Ji Xun!”
Song Can knew that Ji Xun might come to Donghuang recently.
But I never expected that this old friend would appear here like a magic weapon descending from heaven!
