Black Fog in the Jungle (3)
For the exchange of hostages, Arias made three demands. First, the ape army must retreat and not attack the city. Second, before the exchange, the hostages must be treated well and not beaten or scolded. Third, the hostages must be exchanged three days later and there will be no fighting for the next three days. Arias had his own considerations. If he could stall for time, he would be able to buy time for Zigqi to practice the Sword of God.
Lucas readily agreed to the above conditions. He had no choice but to agree because he knew Camposa's importance better than anyone else. No matter how harsh the conditions were, he couldn't say no and had to agree.
That night, Arias decided to interrogate Campos and Ruyes. Rikeqi personally went to the cell and took out the two apes. On the way, the two apes kept muttering.
"Uncle, where are you taking us? It can't be that our time is up, right? Uncle, please think of a way. I really don't want to die!”Camposa's eyes were filled with fear.
"I don't know! Let's leave it to fate! What can I do now? Isn't he the same as you? I can't do anything. I don't want to die either!”said Luyes helplessly.
"Then do we just wait for death? I can't accept this!"
"So what if you're unwilling? Now, we are the fish meat, and others are dying for the knife. We can't help it!”
"What is Father doing? Why don't you think of a way to save us? Are you going to watch us suffer here? I'm his only son!" Camposa complained.
"You can't say that. I think your father might have his difficulties. There are many things that can't be done according to one's own will. I think the US military won't kill us now. We are still useful to them.”said Luyes.
"You mean…?”
"It's fine as long as you understand. There's no need to say it. Be smart later and don't talk nonsense.”
"Uncle, don't worry! I'll listen to you!"
Seeing Arias, Ruyes quickly knelt down.""The defeated general greets Mr. President!”At the same time, he gestured for Camposa to kneel down as well.
"I didn't expect the general to be so sensible!" Arias smiled. Please get up! Sit down. I have a few things to ask you.”
"Mr. President, you're flattering me too much! How would a defeated general dare to put on airs in front of you? If you have anything to ask, just ask.”
"That's good! I won't keep you in suspense and get straight to the point. I want to hear your views on the current situation. Please tell me the truth!"
"Well…your army is strong and unstoppable. It's only a matter of time before you stabilize the country.”
"Oh? Was it true? I don't need to flatter you!"
"Yes, sir! Yes!"
"Also, there's something else I need to trouble you with! Can you tell me about the Black Fog Unit?”Arias went straight to the point.
"Black Fog Unit? Mr. President, I don't know what you're talking about. I've never heard of any Black Fog Unit. May I ask what this is?”
"Oh? You don't know? How could you not know about your ape army? This isn't a big joke!"
Luyes quickly stood up. "Mr. President! I really didn't lie to you. I really don't know! I've never even heard of it. Where did you hear it from?”
"Have you heard of Mr. Camposa?”Arias asked instead of answering.
"I've never heard of it either! What kind of army was the Black Fog Army? Can you be more detailed?" Camposa asked carefully.
"Since you don't know, I won't ask. I hope you are telling the truth today, or else…"
"How many brains do we have that dare to lie to Mr. President? Every word we say is the truth. If there's even half a lie, we'll die a horrible death!”
"Haha! You better be telling the truth! Go back and think about it carefully. If you think of anything, tell me. I hope you can seize the opportunity.”
"Yes, sir! Yes! Definitely! Definitely!"
Back in the cell, Royes touched his still pounding chest and let out a long sigh. "Oh my god! You scared me to death! I was drenched. Are you alright?" Ruyes turned to ask Camposa.
"I'm not much better. Looking at that posture, it really scared me enough.”Camposa still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.
Not being able to get any valuable information about the speed limit from the two apes, Arias felt that the Black Fog troops were somewhat unfathomable, and it was still unknown whether they could crack it. He hoped that the Sword of God would be able to destroy the enemy in one strike.
Three days later, it was the day of the hostage exchange. Rikeqi came to the cell again. "Ruyes, Camposa, come out!"
The two apes walked out in fear and asked in a low voice,""General! Where are you taking us?"
"Where are we going? Send you home! Why? Are you unwilling?"
"No! No! We just want to ask, which home are you sending us back to?”
Looking at the two apes, it was funny. Riko deliberately teased,"I'm sending you back to your hometown!"
The hearts of the two apes turned cold, thinking that it was over this time. "General, can you…?”
" Can I what?" Rikki interrupted the ape. Just follow me, don't talk so much nonsense, let's go!”
Outside the city, Lucas was already waiting there. As promised, the ape army was pushed three miles away.
Arias did not go back on his word, and the two sides smoothly handed over the goods.
Back in the city, Milan wanted to beat up her two younger brothers. Pask and Wu Mingfei knew that they had caused a big trouble, so they didn't dare to say anything and stood there obediently. Milan was angry and loved them, so she couldn't do it. He only warned her not to do it again, or else she would not let him off easily. Pasque and Wu Mingfei agreed.
Lucas brought his son back and hugged him again and again. When he realized that his son's left arm was crippled, he was shocked and quickly asked what was going on.
"Humph! What was going on? Isn't she your precious daughter? I'm fighting with the American soldiers, and she's shooting arrows from behind. You better be more accurate. You didn't hit the American soldiers, but you hit me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been captured.”Camposa said angrily.
"What about your sister?" Lucas asked anxiously.
"Who knows? Maybe he died long ago!"
Lucas 'eyes were filled with tears. That was his only daughter! She had been pampered since she was young, and she did not expect it to be gone just like that.
Camposa did not notice Lucas 'expression and continued,"Father, I heard about the Black Fog Unit over there? Do you know what happened?"
Lucas put away his sadness and put on a smug smile. "The Black Fog Unit, they're at their wit's end, right? Son, since the Black Fog Unit has already appeared, there's no need for me to hide it anymore. The Black Fog Troop was founded by your grandfather. It's our last trump card. The reason why I didn't tell you is because it's a matter of great importance. The Black Fog Troop's matters are top secret and can't be easily leaked.”
"Oh, really? How powerful was the Black Fog Force? I really want to see it!"
"Don't worry, you'll see it soon! "This time, I will completely destroy the American army and establish an eternal meritorious service. My name will go down in history! Hahahaha…"
The apes provoked him again, and Arias ordered Milan to take the lead, followed by Nikki.
The apes saw that the US troops were fighting and thought that they had fallen into their trap. Just as they were feeling smug, Milan led the army to the front. Camposa went out to fight and met Milan head-on. The number of ape troops continued to increase, and the battle grew bigger and bigger.
The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle. A black fog floated over from the northwest. Milan ordered the troops to retreat quickly. The apes did not pursue, and the black fog floated towards the American army.
Riko, who was behind them, saw everything clearly. He ordered the archers to fire at the black fog to slow it down. He quickly climbed up a nearby slope and shouted,"God's Sword! Give me strength!"
The God's Sword hung in the air, shining with dazzling light. Rikeqi gripped the Sword of God tightly and swung it horizontally. He shouted,"Peachwood Evil Warding Arrow, break through the darkness, God's Sword, who can compete with it!”
The Sword of God instantly shot out tens of thousands of sharp arrows, flying towards the black fog. The peach wood had a strange ability to absorb miasma, and wherever it went, the black fog would dissipate. Before the apes could react, the peach wood arrows had already absorbed the black fog, and the apes were completely exposed in broad daylight. Milan led the army back to attack. Without the black fog barrier, the apes were in chaos and their army was defeated.
Arias ordered the entire army to charge at the apes, and the American troops rushed at the apes like mercury.
Rouyes died under the peach wood arrow. Camposa did not manage to exchange a few moves with Milan. He deliberately escaped, and his moves were not threatening. Milan's " Power Splitting Mountain " split Camposa in half. Lucas had lost all hope and fled into the forest in a panic.
The Black Fog troops were now like a turtle without a shell. Without a protective umbrella, their combat strength became vulnerable. Under the charge of the American troops, they were scattered and surrounded. The battle lasted from morning to dusk. Most of the apes were wiped out, and only a small number of troops escaped with Lucas.
At night, because they were unfamiliar with the terrain of the rainforest, Arias ordered the troops to rest in place. They would pass through the rainforest the next morning and chase after Lucas.
After searching the entire rainforest and not finding any trace of Lucas, Arias ordered the troops to continue moving forward. After two days of long distance attacks, they finally left the rainforest. In front of them was a vast grassland. It seemed like Lucas had already escaped, and the army had won a complete victory.
Arias was about to order his troops to advance into Western Europe when he suddenly received a report. The report was sent from America. It said that the ape, General Jorge of the Sixth African Army, had led his troops to America. The troops suffered heavy casualties and were unable to resist. He asked Arias to send troops back to America.
Arias ordered Walter, Ziggy, and Mory to continue pursuing Lucas and conquering Western Europe. He ordered Milan and Birminghamia to quickly assist America and eliminate Jorgar.
