Chapter 125 Fierce Battle
Chapter 125 Fierce Battle
After subduing Cheng Hu, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze immediately took him and rushed to the Fifth Army's base on Tianxuan Star.
From the conversation between Cheng Hu and his cousin just now, they said they wanted to kill Wang Hai before he was interrogated, so as not to implicate Cheng Hu.
It seems that Cheng Hu's cousin is already making arrangements. I just don't know where their confidence comes from. Judging from their tone, it seems that killing someone from the Fifth Army is an easy thing.
Soon, they arrived outside a small courtyard.
The unconscious Cheng Hu was thrown to the ground, and the sound of the heavy object hitting the ground immediately alerted the people inside.
Instantly, a group of people rushed out with weapons in hand. The two leading figures were Li Yuan and Song Hui, who had previously joined Mo Ze in wiping out the Meteorite Pirates.
The two of them immediately beamed with joy when they saw Mo Ze standing at the door.
"Boss Mo, it's you!" Li Yuan stepped forward to greet him happily, then looked at Lin Shushu beside him, "This must be your sister-in-law, right? Hello, my name is Li Yuan."
Song Hui, who followed behind, also greeted Mo Ze and Lin Shushu. Lin Shushu smiled back, and they were considered acquaintances.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Yuan looked at the person on the ground and asked, "Who is lying on the ground?" Li Yuan had already seen Cheng Hu lying unconscious on the ground, and only now did he have time to ask.
“Is that even a question? It must be that ‘Tiger Brother’.” Before Mo Ze and Lin Shushu could answer, Song Hui spoke first.
The Fifth Army learned about Wang Hai from Mo Ze, including, of course, the "Tiger Brother" who spoke with Wang Hai.
Seeing that Mo Ze did not refute, Li Yuan knew that Song Hui's guess was correct.
He immediately looked at the people on the ground, while expressing his shock.
"Boss Mo, you guys moved too fast. We were just about to interrogate Wang Hai, and you brought Brother Tiger here."
"Stop being so glib, things will soon get messy here," Mo Ze interrupted him.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan and Song Hui's expressions both changed. They knew that Mo Ze wouldn't say such a thing without reason.
They ordered someone to carry Cheng Hu away, and the two respectfully invited Mo Ze and Lin Shushu inside.
Upon arriving at the council hall, Mo Ze didn't waste any time and recounted the conversation between Cheng Hu and his cousin that they had overheard.
After hearing this, everyone present except Mo Ze and Lin Shushu became serious. They also guessed that the Flame Organization behind Cheng Hu was no ordinary force, otherwise how could they dare to kill and silence people on their territory?
Having learned of this in advance, they wouldn't sit idly by. After all, they were from the Fifth Army Group; although the number of men sent this time was small, they were all highly trained and naturally had their own methods of dealing with the situation.
The highest-ranking general here was Lan Ze. He first thanked Mo Ze for bringing them this important news, and then gathered his men to discuss countermeasures.
Mo Ze did not interfere with how they should deal with it. The reason he and Lin Shushu stayed here was just to be on the safe side, in case there were people or weapons that even the Fifth Army could not handle.
Mo Ze's worries were not unfounded. Cheng Hu and the Flame Organization behind him were originally weapons dealers. If they could sell the most advanced weapons to space pirates, they would naturally keep some for themselves.
As for whether they would dare to openly attack military personnel on Tianxuan Star, that was the possibility Mo Ze was guarding against.
It must be said that the Flame Organization behind Cheng Hu is truly well-connected; they quickly located the Fifth Army Group's base.
It should be noted that this Fifth Army Group was conducting a secret operation; apart from a few high-ranking managers on Tianxuan Star, no one else knew of their arrival.
It's unbelievable that the Blazing Organization discovered this in such a short time; no one would believe they hadn't infiltrated the planet's management.
However, there is no time to investigate who leaked the information, because the attack has begun.
Fortunately, the Fifth Army's compound was located in a relatively remote area with no other residents nearby, so it did not pose a disaster to others.
Seeing the dense barrage of energy cannons coming at them, Li Yuan was shocked. The Blazing Flame Organization actually dared to attack them proactively.
Fortunately, they knew the news beforehand and were prepared; otherwise, if they had been caught off guard, they would have inevitably suffered casualties.
Thinking of this, he looked gratefully at Mo Ze, who was talking quietly with Lin Shushu.
Just then, the attack outside suddenly intensified. They had used all their interception systems and could only barely keep the enemy's attack outside the courtyard.
If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the courtyard is breached.
Lan Ze acted decisively, requesting support from the planetary garrison while simultaneously arranging for a timely counterattack.
Being regular soldiers, their counterattack quickly took effect, and the enemy's firepower weakened. However, Lan Ze dared not let his guard down, as his own weapons and equipment were also running low.
Lan Ze knew that the enemy's lack of firepower was only temporary. After all, their actions were rather sudden. If they were given more time to gather equipment, his side might not be able to defeat them.
Now it all depends on whether the planetary garrison can arrive before the enemy's fire support. Whoever has the advantage of this time difference will be the winner.
Clearly, fate was not on their side. Before the planetary garrison arrived, the enemy's firepower intensified, indicating that reinforcements had arrived.
Cheng Hu's cousin, Luo Shen, is one of the high-ranking members of the Blazing Flame Organization. Although he is not currently on Tianxuan Star, it does not prevent him from controlling everything here.
Originally, he only wanted to secretly send someone to sneak into the courtyard and find an opportunity to kill Wang Hai, but later, based on the information he found, he realized it would be difficult to infiltrate.
Then he suddenly lost contact with Cheng Hu again. Considering Cheng Hu's whereabouts that night, he knew that Cheng Hu must have been exposed and was likely in the hands of the Fifth Army Group. That's why he took the risk of facing them head-on.
If it were only a matter of life and death for Cheng Hu, he wouldn't dare make such a decision. He was worried that Cheng Hu would not be able to withstand the military's interrogation and would reveal all the secrets of the organization.
"Play your last trump card," Rosen commanded.
"Chief, is this really necessary? If we do, we'll be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Empire." Roshen's subordinate looked at the person on the communication screen, somewhat hesitant.
The trump card that Roshen mentioned is the Empire's most advanced weapon, "Fireblast," which was originally developed to deal with the Zerg.
Once launched, there is no turning back, and the target will have no chance of escape; it will be instantly blasted into dust.
Since acquiring the weapon, the Blazing Organization has kept it a secret and refused to sell it to any clients. Now, they're actually going to use it against the military.
To do that would be to trample on the empire's authority and stand completely against it.
A resolute look appeared in Luo Shen's eyes. "Do as I say, and I'll bear the consequences."
His subordinates had no choice but to comply. He called his men back, had them retreat to a safe distance, and then took out the "Flame Burst," ready to fire.
The Fifth Army was still wondering why the enemy had suddenly withdrawn.
Although Mo Ze did not participate in the battle, his divine sense never stopped observing the contest between the two sides. He noticed the Flame Organization's withdrawal as soon as it happened and kept a close eye on their next move.
Upon seeing the familiar "fire burst" appear, his expression changed drastically. How dare they?
