Doomsday Totem

Chapter 455 Assassination
After bombarding the Red Scorpion squad, Iron Slag and Hagrid came to the military tent that served as the temporary headquarters, and met Black Pig King, Tie Ling, Lilith, Quinn and others.

"Boss..." Seeing Tie Slag coming in, the Black Pig King was about to go up to say hello, but was pulled aside by Hegla.

"From now on, his identity will be kept strictly secret." Hagrid whispered, looking at the other three at the same time.

"Understood." "Yeah." "Understood." Quinn, Tie Ling, and Lilith nodded respectively.

Next, the few people sat down to talk about the past, and then received a video communication from the Red Scorpion Corps.On the screen, a strong man with a big beard beat the table angrily, and asked sharply, "Are you planning to start a war when you attack our patrol team?"

"Your patrol?" Hagrid asked blankly.

"Are you playing dumb? Half an hour ago, you bombarded our patrol team, causing the death of 29 members and damage to nine Viper sand buggies." The bearded man blushed and suppressed his anger.

"We did defeat a group of sand bandits who broke into the jurisdiction just now, but does it have anything to do with you?" Hagrid asked.

"That's the patrol team of the Red Scorpion Corps!" the bearded man roared.

"Calm down, friend, are you sure that's your patrol?" Hagrid continued.

"It's absolutely true!" The bearded man slammed the table heavily and said loudly.

"Since you claim that the sand bandits are your patrol team, please explain why they broke into our military jurisdiction without authorization?" Hagrid asked puzzled.

"They didn't trespass!" shouted the bearded man angrily.

"We have not received any request from them to enter, nor have they sent any invitation signal, if so, please show evidence, otherwise..." Hagrid paused, and said in a deep voice, "We will regard it as a hostile slander , when necessary, we will not hesitate to fight!"

"You!" The corner of the bearded man's mouth twitched, and the threat he was about to blurt was stuck in his throat.He didn't expect that Siris Investment Co., Ltd., which had been retreating all the time, would suddenly become so powerful, not only actively attacking their patrols, but also proposing to go to war.He is only the person in charge of the second regiment of the Red Scorpion Corps. If the conflict continues to expand, he will ask his superiors for instructions.

After pondering for a while, the bearded man narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "War with us? Are you looking for death? How much combat power can you have with your hundreds of mobs? Can you have decades of history with us? A large mercenary group to compete?"

"We are honest, we are peace-loving, we just want to make a little money, and we don't want to conflict with anyone." Hagrid said with a smile, then fixed his eyes, and said, "But if someone takes the initiative to provoke us, we don't mind letting them Understand, what a thankless thing they did."

"Since you don't care about life and death, then prepare to meet the wrath of the red scorpion!" the bearded man squinted his eyes and roared angrily, then he punched the console and cut off the communication roughly.

"It's time to teach them a lesson." Looking at the pitch-black screen, Iron Slag said.Then, he asked Hagrid to get him an old van and two Sand Sea Flying Fish, and then covered the locomotive with a canvas and hid it in the trunk; he called the Black Pig King and Lilith, and dressed up as ordinary boars. Golden Warrior, headed for Red Scorpion's stronghold.

"Bounty Warrior" is a unique job in Desert No. [-], which is fundamentally different from those "Bounty Hunters" who catch criminals.Their appearance is closely related to the environment of Desert No. [-], as well as the way of life of the bee ants and the Elta people.

Desert No. [-] has abundant groundwater, but there is no ocean, and it rarely rains several times a year, so the vegetation is very sparse and scattered.In order to feed a large number of conventional troops, bee and ant colonies can only implement a "stocking" survival mode.On the surface, they seem to occupy most of the land, but in fact, the area they control is smaller than humans.

Here, the queen insects only lead a small number of elite troops, and when a war needs to be waged, they send the master to recruit everywhere, so there are a large number of wild insect swarms scattered here.In order to control their number, Sandcastle has been buying hunting tokens for many years, such as the fangs of gnats and the tailbone of stinging insects, thus producing a large number of bounty fighters who hunt and kill swarms of insects for a living.

Another function of the bounty warrior is to fight against the rogues among the Eltas.The Elta people regard the fifth desert as their slums and exile.Compared with the humans in the world of Silver City, the people of Alta have extremely strong physical fitness, and they can have good combat power without relying on the industrial system.They usually use tribes as units, organize teams to wander around, hunt bee and ant swarms, plunder human transport teams, and even plunder human strongholds.

Therefore, hunting and killing Alta people of a specific ethnic group can also be exchanged for gold coins.The human strongholds located in the fringes usually provide accommodation for these passing bounty fighters, or replenish fuel and supplies.

There is a saying in the Far East, "A persimmon looks for a soft one to pinch". The Red Scorpions think so, and so does Tie Slag.Among the five surrounding forces, the Red Scorpion is the weakest, so it is natural to seek them out to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Red Scorpion's stronghold is located 120 kilometers northwest of Chifeng Fortress.It is now afternoon in Desert No. [-], and there are still twenty hours before dark.There was still plenty of time, and Iron Slag made a big circle, walked a few hundred kilometers more, and then drove into the jurisdiction of Red Scorpion from north to south.It looks like someone coming from the direction of Sandcastle.

According to Mu Yulinglan's information, the Red Scorpion's stronghold did not have a city wall, the outside was barbed wire, the main building in the middle was a three-story stone fortress, and the rest were brick and wood structures, or military tents.

When approaching the stronghold for about ten kilometers, Tie Slag let the Black Pig King get out of the car, and asked him to drive away a Sand Sea Flying Fish, lurking nearby to meet them.

A few minutes later, in the evening, Iron Slag drove into the Red Scorpion's stronghold in his dilapidated truck.Although the top person in charge here, Big Beard, has just let go of his harsh words, but he is still waiting for a reply from his superiors, and has not prepared for combat.When passing through the checkpoints, the Red Scorpion team members were still sloppy, and they were fooled by adding a few silver coins to a pack of cigarettes.

"Boom boom boom..."

After a burst of pungent black smoke, a nimble figure jumped off the old truck and walked towards the bar.She was wrapped in a cloak, only showing a pair of bright eyes.

"Hey! Chick, are you alone?" A man leaning against the door accosted.

The girl ignored him, walked straight into the store, lifted her hood, revealing a pretty face.In an instant, several fiery gazes were cast from all around.

"Beauty, what do you want?" The waiter stepped forward and asked.

"A glass of rum, and bread and steak," she said to the waiter.

"Please wait." The waiter nodded and left.

"My God, she can really eat." "You can grow well if you can eat." "That's that..." As soon as the waiter left, there were teasing and whistles behind her.

"My brother is right outside. He's very powerful." The girl suddenly turned her head, raised her fist, and said to the men in military uniform who were booing.

"Little girl, this is the territory of our Red Scorpion, no matter how powerful it is, it won't work." One of them took the words and said.

"Are you from the Red Scorpion Corps?" the girl asked curiously.

"Of course, look, this is our logo." A man pointed to the red scorpion tail logo on his chest and said.

"My brother wants to find a job, how is your treatment here?" the girl asked.

"It's definitely no problem to support you." A Red Scorpion player joked.

"Yes, you can eat as much as you want." Another echoed.

The girl snorted and said, "It's not that simple to support me."

"That depends on your abilities." A Red Scorpion team member said with a pun, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Is the chief here in a good temper?" The girl asked seriously, pretending not to understand.

"It depends on who it is. If it's you, you must have a good temper." The Red Scorpion player said with a smile.

"I'm not kidding, my brother really wants to find a job." The girl said with a stern face, with a bit of anger.

"Boss is not bad, you'll know it when you see it." The Red Scorpion player put away his smile and said seriously.But what he said was polite. The bearded man has a bad temper and is greedy for cheap things. He is not a good officer.

"Where can we meet him?" the girl asked.

"The boss's office is on the second floor of the fortress. Go up the stairs and it's the second room on the right." Red Scorpion said.

"Thank you." The girl said.At this time, the waiter brought the wine over.She immediately raised her wine glass and said to several members of the Red Scorpions, "Come on, cheers, and wish us to be companions."

"Cheers!"

Half an hour later, after finishing dinner, Lilith bid farewell to the Red Scorpions and came to the fortress in the middle of the stronghold.He hid himself in the dark, quietly passed through the guard post at the door, and walked in.When I went up to the second floor, I saw two reformers standing at the second door on the right, while no one was standing guard at the door of other rooms.It seemed that the Red Scorpion player was not lying.

After confirming the location of Beard's office, Lilith returned to the parking lot, climbed onto the co-pilot of the truck, and told Iron Slag about the situation.After hearing the information, Tie Slag asked her to leave in a truck and meet the Black Pig King ten kilometers away.

After watching Lilith leave, Iron Slag waited for another half an hour before starting the power furnace.

"Om..."

With the injection of fuel, the power furnace in front of the chest rotated at a high speed, and the orange-red light was faintly visible, reflecting the surrounding walls red.

"tumultuous……"

In the next second, Iron Slag jumped up, with two crimson flames spewing out from behind, paused slightly in mid-air, and flew straight towards the fortress like an arrow leaving a string.
