The second battalion commander was puzzled. Treasure map? This kind of legendary thing had always been circulating.
However, not many people actually found it. Some of the known treasures did contain rich gold.
When the guard brought Rupert to the second battalion commander, he was very nervous.
Those clansmen who refused to surrender were all killed. These people did not have the slightest sense of benevolence and righteousness.
In order to save his own life, he decided to use the treasure map he knew to exchange for his life.
"Thank you, sir. I wonder if you would accept my offer.”Rupert said in English.
"Mr. Rupert, don't you think it's a little too late to say this now?”The second battalion commander looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
"Sir, I really want to join your army.”Rupert didn't give up.
" There's no need to serve. The commander doesn't need an outsider who can turn the tables at any time. Tell me about the treasure. This is to prove your value and also your last chance to live.”The second battalion commander laughed, the threat in his tone obvious.
Rupert broke out in a cold sweat. He believed that the person in front of him was not just talking. If he could not say something that satisfied him, he would definitely be tortured and killed.
Thinking of the painful torture, Rupert hurriedly said,""There are treasures of the Kingdom of Meroy in Ham City.”
"Really?" The second battalion commander's eyes lit up, and he looked at him suspiciously.
"It's absolutely true. The chief's hundreds of kilograms of gold were obtained from the treasure.”Rupert cried.
"Alright, I'll believe you for a while. If you dare to lie to me, I'll chop you up.”The second battalion commander coldly said.
Xiao Zhan, who was busy dealing with the aftermath in the command center, was stunned when he heard the news.
At the same time, a legend that had been circulating in his mind said that there were many treasures buried underground in F State.
He often saw news reports of people picking up gold nuggets while walking. Countless information showed that F Region was indeed rich in mineral deposits.
The treasures of the ancient kingdom should be real too. After all, the slave trade in the Middle Ages took away not only slaves but also treasures.
After asking around, Xiao Zhan found out that there were ten tons of gold. His breathing quickened. This was worth three billion gold.
If he could get this gold, it would be a qualitative leap for his development. Therefore, he had to get this treasure.
This was because it was related to his future foothold in Sydnay. With so much gold, it was enough for him to develop for a long time.
In the afternoon, Xiao Zhan summoned all the troops back and asked the commanders to come to the command center for a meeting.
"Ten tons of gold is very important to our future development. Since we have clues about this gold, send a small team to investigate first tomorrow.”
Zuo Junchu was the first to speak.
"Of course, we can't just walk around and look for the treasure. After all, the forces here are complicated, and there are intelligence personnel from various countries everywhere. Once we are discovered, it will cause a series of troubles.”
"Indeed, once the news of ten tons of gold is leaked, the various countries will definitely have designs on this gold.”
The others echoed.
"Transfer a small team of ten from the guard company to explore first. The main team will follow behind.”Xiao Zhan explained.
"Commander, the Ham City government army is a problem.”Zuo Junchu said.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said decisively.
"Take him down and cover the search for gold.”
After all, if a small team suddenly went to another city, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others. However, with the cover of war, it would definitely not arouse the suspicion of others.
"Order the scouting team to scout for information about Hamm City.”
"Yes, sir!" The communications advisor who was recording at the side stood up and said.
…………
After receiving the order, the reconnaissance team brought ten people and headed towards Hamm City.
Ham City was located in the north of Umm City, and the city was much richer than Umm City.
Moreover, there were several factories here, so the local economy was still very good.
"Captain, the security is a little tight. It's not easy to enter.”A soldier reported to the captain in a low voice.
"Go and disguise yourself as someone from National Geography and sneak in.”The captain quickly made a decision.
Every year, many reporters went to Sydnay for interviews. After all, there was still a lot of news in war-torn countries.
The chief of Hamm City was listening to his subordinate's report.
"Chief Shi, Umm City has already been taken by the rebel army.”
"This is really bad news. Which unit are they from?”The middle-aged man pretended to be sad.
" I don't know. Unknown faction." The person who reported the news said with a dumbfounded expression.
" An Lin's troops?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
Just as the reporting officer was about to continue reporting, a signalman came in and said hurriedly,
"Mr. Shi, the four tribes have been completely wiped out, and the four Chieftains have all died.”
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
There was a wave of surprised voices around them, and they were all filled with disbelief.
"Which faction did this?" The chief immediately raged.
"This is simply challenging the bottom line of the entire Sydnay's people. We absolutely can't tolerate it.”The chief gathered the troops and said.
"Gather all the military personnel and immediately hold an emergency meeting.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Perhaps this is an opportunity." The chief muttered.
