Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 725 - 147 Bold Conjectures and Reasonable Doubts
Garrison Soldiers, Chess Herald, and Advisors, these three entities form a configuration. When falling into the Outer Dimension, there will be a brief vulnerable period, exposing the vulnerable Chess Herald and Advisor.
This type of flaw is generally unknown to most people, nor would they have any chance to experience it in actual combat.
But for those in the same line of work, it’s probably not such a secret.
Wang Yunxiao’s greatest concern was still those unidentified Garrison Soldiers.
As expected, by the time he reached Chen Yan’s side, the other party had also arrived at the location following the guidance of the torches.
Youtiao was standing in front of Chen Yan, in a standoff with an unfamiliar Garrison Soldier, both holding guns.
The equipment of both parties was almost identical, making it difficult to identify friend from foe at a glance. However, as the second in command of the team, Youtiao knew his brothers even better than Wang Yunxiao and immediately saw that the other party was not one of their own.
The other party was likely not the core leader of their team, and without receiving clear orders from the captain, did not act rashly.
Both sides became instantly locked in a stalemate.
"Extinguish the fire!"
Facing the muzzle of the unfamiliar Garrison Soldier, Youtiao’s forehead broke out in sweat. He didn’t dare to shift his gaze and could only grit his teeth and shout at Chen Yan.
Continuing to burn like this would only turn one into a live target.
Chen Yan glanced at him and said softly, "You’re not the captain."
"If big brother isn’t here, you listen to me! They can see us!"
Youtiao angrily said, "Follow orders! Everyone lives only if you live!"
"Turn off the fire."
The Garrison Soldier opposite also spoke. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Shut up!"
Youtiao was so irritated his teeth itched, "Put down your weapon!"
"Tsk..."
The Garrison Soldier on the other side said disdainfully, "Kid, do you even deserve to wear that skin? If I really make a move, I won’t even need a gun to take care of you."
Then try me!
If Chen Yan wasn’t behind him, Youtiao would have liked to challenge the other party.
But now, he could only hold back his anger and at the same time narrow his eyes, starting to observe the details of the Garrison Soldier opposite him.
"You’re out of bullets."
The Garrison Soldier opposite just smiled, too lazy to respond.
"The grenade you detonated earlier delivered a hard hit to you, your left half of the armor is completely shattered, and you’ve lost quite a bit of blood, right? Serves you right! Did you inhale all the corrosive gas from the gas canister? Can you still corrode bullets? Now this gun in your hands is nothing more than a fire stick!"
Hearing Youtiao’s analysis, the disdainful smile on the face of the Garrison Soldier opposite him faded bit by bit.
"You little bastard, you really play dirty..."
"You’re the ones who fired first!"
Youtiao retorted coldly, "Judging by your accent, you’re from outside the border, aren’t you? Instead of cornhusking out there, what are you doing in Tianmen? When were you transferred here?"
The Garrison Soldier opposite finally couldn’t laugh anymore.
"You little brat, are you an Advisor?"
Only Advisors, and those from the Heretical Path at that, would have such poisonous eyes and the ability to sling such vicious words.
Right at that moment, the sound of rapid footsteps approached from around them.
Youtiao felt a tingling on his scalp; from the approaching footfalls, he could judge that the third arrival wasn’t their own brother.
But then again...
Their own brothers might not necessarily make footsteps sounds.
The third Garrison Soldier to arrive saw the standoff situation in front of him, and without a word, raised his gun to aim at Youtiao. But as soon as he raised his weapon, he rolled over, dodging an attack from behind.
Eryang, with two bone-picking sharp knives held in a reverse grip, silently emerged from the shadows, his blades scraping against the enemy’s waist and striking sparks off the armor.
"Eryang, come back!"
Youtiao hurriedly shouted to stop Eryang from entangling with the adversary. Their priority was to protect Chess Herald, not to settle scores.
Like thunder, muffled sounds gradually approached from afar.
With a thunderous bang, Wang Yunxiao appeared amidst clouds of dust, having demolished countless walls along his way.
At the same time, members from both sides were arriving one after the other.
Wang Yunxiao waved his hand to dissipate the dust and looked up at the sky.
As soon as he arrived, he felt the gaze of a powerful presence upon him.
The opponent stood silently in mid-air as if he had been there all along, yet completely unnoticed by everyone.
The adversary wore armor identical to Wang Yunxiao’s, the only difference being the beast-claw-like decorations on his shoulder guards.
And he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
If you like showing off so much, why not hammer a few steel spikes into your forehead?
Wang Yunxiao scorned inwardly, while also realizing the identity of the other.
It was clear that this man was the commander of the other garrison soldiers’ team.
"State your name and rank."
The beefy man hovering in the sky narrowed his eyes at Wang Yunxiao and spoke slowly.
State what damn name and rank? Are you some bandit who came down from the mountains?
Wang Yunxiao was utterly confused, unsure of how to answer, but at that moment, he heard Lianluo’s voice.
"101!"
So that’s the name and rank?
"Bloody hell, since when do three-digit numbers get such top-notch equipment?"
The helmetless man descended from the sky, his gaze moving from Wang Yunxiao’s face to rest on Lianluo for a few seconds before shifting back.
"Who’s pampered young master are you, out strolling with your nanny? This isn’t a playground for you!"
Wang Yunxiao looked back coolly and retorted unceremoniously, "Before you fart nonsense, announce your house’s name, so I don’t kill the wrong person!"
The man snorted and laughed, "Feisty, aren’t we? I’m Xiang Biao, the company commander of Unit 66. Leave that Chess Herald Advisor here, and scram back home to drink milk. This is no place for rich brats like you to mess about!"
Wang Yunxiao turned his head and asked Lianluo, "Chief Lian, does Tianmen possess such a serial number?"
Lianluo pondered for two seconds and shook her head, "If I’m not mistaken, the garrison units numbered 60 to 70 should come under the Tiger King Army’s combat sequence beyond our borders."
The Tiger King Army?
Really? What month is it that the Tiger King Army hasn’t left yet? Not only have they not left, but now they’ve even redeployed their elite troops here?
Normally, whatever you encounter in the Outer Dimension should be treated as a fake first and foremost.
But Wang Yunxiao thought even deeper.
If it’s fake, that’s one thing. But what if it’s real?
Tianmen City is in the midst of its fourth special crackdown operation; what business does the Tiger King Army have here?
Are they part of the Loyal Faction, or the so-called ’curve loyalists’?
Or do they have some other ulterior motives?
Wanting me to hand over the Chess Herald Advisor? You sure make yourself at home, is this how cordial Northeasterners are?
"I am Wang Yunxiao, chief of the Nantong District Police Bureau Special Service Section in Tianmen City. What are your troops intending to do in Tianmen?"
Wang Yunxiao fixed his stare on Xiang Biao’s facial expression, prepared for the possibility of an unavoidable civil conflict if he dared to speak any slogans like "expedition to conquer Chiang."
Tianmen City falls under the direct military jurisdiction of the Qilin Army, and even if the Qilin Army is suspected of internal unrest, it’s not the place for the Tiger King Army from beyond the borders to assert authority.
