The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 387 - 380 What Kind of Person

The fifteenth day, half a month now.

The sky had not yet lightened, still enjoying the rare coolness, so those without tasks savored the sleep at dawn the most, even the routinely early riser Li King Kong was sound asleep at this moment.

Until someone from the Angel Mercenary Corps started calling for Gao Yuan.

"Captain Gao, our commander requests your presence,"

There was no door in the tent, naturally no door to knock on, a German soldier speaking Chinese called out once outside Gao Yuan’s tent, and while Gao Yuan had not woken up, Li Jingang and Song Qian had immediately rolled over and sat up.

Li Jingang lifted the tent flap and walked out, then he heard Gao Yuan yawn and also lifted the tent’s curtain.

"What’s the matter?"

The soldier saluted Gao Yuan solemnly and said, "Our commander requests your presence."

Since Nate had asked for him, there must be something going on – he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to look for Gao Yuan. It had been half a month, and this was the first time Nate had sent someone looking for him.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll be right there."

As Gao Yuan was about to leave, Song Qian immediately stood by his side, ready to accompany him. Gao Yuan whispered, "It should be nothing serious, if it were the beginning of a battle, others would have been mobilized by now. Since Nate specifically asked for me, although it is certainly about something, it’s definitely not urgent. Do you want to get some more sleep?"

Song Qian whispered back, "That won’t do. Don’t forget, I’m your orderly. I heard that last time Nate had an adjutant with him the whole time. You’re not without an orderly, so we can’t let them outdo us."

The person Nate had sent acted as though he had heard nothing and continued to lead the way briskly, while Gao Yuan thought about it and felt that having an orderly by his side really added to his prestige.

"Fine, then you need to be observant," ƒreewebɳovel.com

Song Qian put on a serious face and said, "Commander, rest assured, I will be competent."

Listen, ’Commander’, the title itself felt so comfortable to hear.

It wasn’t far, and before long Gao Yuan arrived in front of Nate’s command tent. The soldier called out loudly in German, and after Nate’s voice sounded, he immediately lifted the tent flap and said, "Please come in."

As Gao Yuan bent down to enter, Song Qian lifted the other half of the curtain so that Gao Yuan could walk in without having to reach out or duck his head.

Gao Yuan approached Nate’s desk, and as Nate stood up, Gao Yuan initiated a salute and then smiled, "Hello, Mr. Schumacher, what do you need me for?"

Nate’s face was stern. After returning the salute to Gao Yuan, he said very seriously, "Captain Gao Yuan, the first day we met, I was acting on Ram’s behalf and met with you in a personal capacity, so you could call me Mr. Schumacher, but now, I am meeting you in the capacity of the commander of the Angel Mercenary Corps, so you may address me as General, or Commander, or call me Mad Wolf, but not Mr. Schumacher."

"Alright, General... Schumacher."

Nate glanced at Song Qian. Gao Yuan quickly said, "This is Song Qian, my orderly, also known as an adjutant."

Gao Yuan realized that since getting to know Nate, he too had become vain. In the past, he would never have let Song Qian be his orderly, although Song Qian really did come from an orderly background. However, after meeting Nate, especially when meeting with Nate, Song Qian’s identity as an orderly became very important.

Song Qian saluted Nate and said loudly, "Good day, General!"

Nate did not return the salute; he just waved his hand and then said to Gao Yuan, "No need to introduce your orderly to me. There is no such courtesy in the military, just like I did not introduce you to my aide-de-camp. Please, take a seat."

Song Qian was royally ignored, but Nate was right, he had not introduced his aide-de-camp to Gao Yuan either.

Gao Yuan sat down, and after Nate also took his seat, he spoke with a stern face, "Our outposts at the front have spotted a five-man squad. The report came in five minutes ago. Given the squad’s speed and direction of advance, they will arrive here in one hour and twenty-four minutes."

Gao Yuan was taken aback and asked, "People from Israel?"

Nate nodded and said, "They wear clothing without any insignia, not the uniform of Sanitation Workers. Based on their weapons, they should be from Israel."

Gao Yuan asked anxiously, "Didn’t you make contact to confirm their identities?"

Nate shook his head, a slight smile on his lips, and said, "My men are covert sentries; they can’t be spotted; so, no contact was made and identity could not be confirmed."

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment. He thought Avi would need ten days to return by sailboat, and after returning, to apply for a report, and then for Israel to decide to send people over, which would also require another sailboat journey, would take at least another twenty days. It couldn’t possibly be any shorter.

But now, just half a month later, people had already come, which was indeed quite unexpected for Gao Yuan.

"Hmm, since they’ve been spotted, it shouldn’t matter whether they are from Israel or not. There should be no danger. Let’s wait and see, we’ll discuss it after confirming their identities when they arrive."

Nate nodded, but just then, a phone on his desk rang.

Nate grabbed the phone, listened intently for a few moments, and then spoke briefly in Hebrew.

After he hung up the phone, Nate’s expression turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a grave voice, "The outpost in Sirte has spotted roughly sixty recon troops from Sanitation Worker trying to enter Sirte from the direction of Misrata. They are the vanguard of a large Sanitation Worker force entering Sirte. Upon finding that we have not fortified Sirte, the main Sanitation Worker force will reach Sirte before darkness falls today, and use Sirte as a staging ground."

After finishing, Nate placed his hand on his chin, then said thoughtfully, "In light of this, the identity of that five-man squad we talked about earlier cannot be easily concluded."

After half a month of calm, the Sanitation Workers finally made a move.

It was just reconnaissance troops for now because the Sanitation Workers needed to scout first to know whether to send troops to attack Sirte or to just station there. In the desert, if there is no place to find shade and respite from the heat, no one can withstand the direct scorching sun.

Gao Yuan frowned. If Sanitation Worker truly intended to attack in force, then he would have to consider leaving before hostilities broke out.

The good news was that the lightly wounded were mostly healed; even if they were not fully recovered, it did not affect their mobility. However, whether that five-man squad really was the Egg Bomb Squad still needed verification.

Fortunately, it wouldn’t take too long; in just over an hour, they would know.

Gao Yuan sighed and nodded, "Understood. If those people are sent by Israel, we will prepare to leave right after they arrive. If not, we still need to evacuate here, but if officials from Israel do come later, you’ll have to tell them to catch up with us."

Nate smiled and said, "You still have time to ascertain their identities. Sanitation Worker won’t be able to surround this place quickly. In fact, I think you don’t have to wait for them because my people are more than enough for an escort. Don’t forget, we are the Angel Mercenary Corps!"
