Chapter 155 Exploded

Back to the present, the three squads that Hamk sent out had all arrived at the outskirts of a village in Longbow Valley.

"Boss, I'm going first! Hey, it's been so long since I've seen blood, I'm going to have some fun today."

The man with the pointed face and monkey-like cheeks was excitedly preparing to rush in with his gun and wreak havoc, but he was stopped by the captain.

"What's the rush? Have you forgotten how Amara died? Even Said would have people lying in ambush in the shadows, and Reis is even more cunning."

After he finished speaking, he called over a soldier behind him, who then took out a drone from his bag.

"Let's go check out the situation inside first. I don't want to lose my life here."

So, after the drone had conducted some reconnaissance, the man operating the drone said:

"There was only one small squad guarding the inside, and their equipment was even worse than ours. The rest were mostly old people and children; we didn't see many women."

After receiving the information from inside, the team leader felt reassured and began issuing tasks to everyone.

"You and he go and take care of that team guarding the gate. You take charge of the old ones, and you, the young one, understand? Let's get started!"

Those still in the village never imagined that their lives would soon be out of their own hands.

But just as these three groups were preparing to extend their evil reach into the village, a sharp-eyed soldier tapped the captain on the shoulder and said:

"Captain... Captain, look at that! What's that? I... I feel like it's a bomb!"

These people stopped in their tracks and looked up at the black object that was falling madly toward them.

"Oh no! It's a bomb! Run!"

Before the soldier could even see clearly, the captain had already started running outside. Seriously, what else could fall from the sky in this place besides bombs? Bird droppings?

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the team members were blown away and began to scatter in all directions, while the silhouette of a helicopter gradually appeared in the sky.

"It's a helicopter! There's an ambush! We've fallen into a trap!"

The other two members of the team were almost completely wiped out by the bombing, the cause of death being that they did not look up at the sky.

On the Blue Hawk helicopter, Black Hawk watched the soldiers fleeing in all directions on the ground, then took out his walkie-talkie and reported to Ella, who was far away in Babel:

"Report: Three squads of soldiers from Longbow Valley have been spotted. Two squads have been wiped out, and a few members of the remaining squad escaped. Should we continue dropping bombs?"

Meanwhile, Ella was engrossed in a conversation with Mary and impatiently replied:

"Okay, that's enough. We were just going to make a show of it anyway. Come back now. Oh, and remember to take some photos. Make sure they look nice."

If Rometheus were around, he would definitely be silently chuckling "666".

After giving her instructions, Ella turned to Mary and began to complain about her "cheap teacher".

"Sigh, let me tell you, he was only two years older than me back then..."

But what she didn't know was that her best friend Mary was currently engaged in a fierce competition, and she had hired a programmer to create an AI specifically for her to match Ella's fighting style.

It's worth noting that although Ella is also Rometheus's secretary, their workloads are worlds apart, which is also related to their different mindsets.

Ella: Ugh, so much to do! I'll just throw it all on the teacher's desk after he falls asleep. It's not hard anyway, hehe! (???`?)

Mary: Oh my gosh! For Hafk! For Ms. Desmoulins's guidance! I will work hard, I will strive, I will become the most indispensable person by Ms. Desmoulins's side!

After receiving the order, Black Hawk filmed the scene, even changing positions several times to film. Afterward, it directed the helicopter to fly back.

After hearing the loud explosion outside the village, the villagers were so frightened that they all took refuge in the air-raid shelters they had dug earlier. The soldiers guarding the village only poked their heads out after they saw the huge helicopter leave.

"Hey, what are they doing? Are they going to bomb our village? Why did they plant a few bombs outside and then run away?"

One of the soldiers expressed his complete incomprehension, but he quite approved of this approach.

"I don't know. They've left. Should we go out and take a look?"

One of the bolder soldiers suggested that, seeing that there was no more movement outside, the others also decided to go out and see what was going on.

After they all went outside, they looked at the scene outside and couldn't help but gasp in shock.

There were several large craters outside, and on some of the craters, there were still remnants of the "people's fragments" from the two squads.

"What... what's going on?"

One of the more timid soldiers' voices trembled as he looked at the bloody mess; he almost vomited up his meal.

"Wait! They don't seem to be our people. Our people's helmets are specially modified, look, they aren't."

After the sharp-eyed soldiers discovered the news, they discussed it briefly and decided to report it to Reis first. After all, this was a serious matter and not something that a few lowly soldiers could decide on their own.

As for the few Hamk soldiers who managed to escape, they found a slightly secluded spot to hide and recover their strength after running until they were exhausted.

"Huff...huff...huff, how is this possible? We clearly didn't tell anyone about our operation! How could we have been exposed!"

The captain still looked shaken, repeatedly saying "impossible, impossible."

“Captain, this must be Hafk’s helicopter. I don’t believe Reis could buy a helicopter of this size.”

The soldier standing next to him was also trembling as he spoke. He felt fear the moment he saw such a large helicopter.

"Could it be that the relationship between Reiss and Hafk is far more complicated than we know? Damn it, this Reiss is a traitor! I must go back and report to Lord Hafk; this matter is of utmost importance."

After catching his breath, the captain decided to go back and report to Hamk. Although they themselves were not clean, he felt indignant to see the Hamk Group treating them differently!

"Let's go! We need to get back quickly and let Lord Hamk make the decision."

Reese: Hmm? Why is my eyelid twitching? Oh well, whatever, I said there's still a month left, the sky won't fall down all at once.

Hamk: Ouch, my right eye keeps twitching. That shouldn't be the case. I went there for territory and resources, and I even sent three squads. I must be overthinking it.

Rometheus: Oh dear, I woke up from a nap and got an MVP!

Is Chapter 156 yours?

"What?! Someone tried to attack the village I'm protecting? And they were bombed by Hafk's planes?"

Lying on the bed, Reis glared angrily at the trembling soldiers in front of him. Damn it, now that they see he's injured, all sorts of nobodies dare to provoke him.

“Boss, I’m absolutely certain I’m not mistaken. They’re definitely not one of our people. I strongly suspect they were sent by Hamk, because two of our brothers were captured by them before!”

The soldiers also took the opportunity to tell Reiss about how Hamk had led his men to injure and take away two of his brothers a few days earlier.

"What? There's actually such a thing? Damn it, it seems like Hamk has been living too comfortably lately. I haven't even gone after him yet, and he's already making his move on me."

Reis hadn't expected Hamk to become so arrogant. Back then, he had led a team to defeat Hamk, forcing him to run around Asara. Reis had been too busy to send anyone to cause trouble for Hamk, but now Hamk had come after him.

"Damn it, who gave him the courage? Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. How dare anyone else bully my men?"

"Hey, you guys just said that Hafk sent helicopters to support us? Are you sure you didn't read that wrong? I don't believe those bastards would be that kind."

Reiss had absolutely no trust in this matter. He didn't believe that the Hafk Group would come to help him out of kindness; there must be something fishy going on.

"Um... I don't know about that, but the helicopter definitely had the Hafk logo on it."

Seeing that the soldiers were absolutely certain they couldn't be wrong, Reiss also began to activate his super brain and started a wave of intense analysis and thinking.

"Hiss~ Could it be that Said stole it from Hafk? Oh well, never mind, I'll call and ask first. I just don't believe Hafk would be kind enough to help me."

Reis immediately called Sayed, who was struggling to memorize the 26 letters of the alphabet.

“ABCD~EFG!H..........”

Sayed was trying to quickly memorize the letters by singing the English songs Zhang Hao had taught him, but it was clear that for someone who had never been exposed to a foreign language before, it would take some patience and time.

Just as Said was racking his brains over this, Reis called.

When Said heard his phone ring, his eyes lit up. He immediately picked it up to see which savior was calling. When he saw it was Reis calling, Said quickly looked over at Sofia, who was standing next to him with a "murderous" expression.

"Look, look, it's Reese calling me! This is very important. I'll go answer the phone now."

After saying that, Said jumped out of the window. Abel, who had just come out from downstairs, was already used to it. The fact that his boss was illiterate was practically common knowledge throughout the dam area.

"Hey! Rhys, what do you want?"

"Hey bro, what are you saying? Can't I just call you to keep in touch?"

Saeed: You're not Xiao Hao, why are you calling? You're just wasting my time.

"Heh, tell me, what is it?"

Seeing that Said had no intention of chatting with him, Reis got straight to the point:

"Wow, bro, you're amazing! You guessed exactly what I was thinking, hahaha. Um, it's like this..."

Reis recounted what had happened in the village to Said, and when Said learned that Hamk was about to target the innocent villagers of Asara again, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"So what I wanted to ask you was, did you capture this Hafk helicopter, brother?"

Finally, Reis asked Said, while silently praying that it wasn't Hafk. If it were, the relationship would be incredibly complicated, and even his brilliant mind might not be able to figure it out.

"Huh? What is that? Hafk's helicopter? Oh, Reis, don't joke around with me if you don't have something to say. I, Said, have never even seen a helicopter up close. Besides, do you think it's possible to steal a helicopter from Hafk now?"

Said: What a joke! If I really had a helicopter, I would have just picked up Xiao Hao and flown him over there. I wouldn't have time to go see your Longbow Valley.

"Ah! No... wasn't it yours, bro? Ah... well, then I'll leave it at that for now. I have something to do, I'll hang up now!"

Reis hung up the phone immediately after speaking. What?! Could it really be someone sent by Hafk? What does this mean? Why can't I understand this situation anymore?

"Could it be that my overwhelming military might has subdued the Hafk Group, and they're trying to curry favor with me?"

Since he couldn't figure out why, Reis decided to start fantasizing. As he thought about it, Reis almost sent someone to Hafk to ask them for military supplies.

"No, no, damn it, this must be a smokescreen. I just don't believe Hafk would be so kind. I'll send someone to mess with him sometime and see if he'll show his true colors."

Hafk: Ah, right, right, that's how you come to provoke us, so we have a legitimate reason to take care of you all.

Sigh, forget it, forget it. I'm not thinking about this now. My ass isn't even healed yet. Once it is, I'll personally lead a group to cause trouble for Hamk. That bastard is really getting cocky. He was just a dog by Emperor Asara's side back then, and now he's putting on airs.

Hamk: Bah! You're the dog! Your whole family are dogs! Don't you know what a loyal dog is? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! Your mouth and your ass are equally stinky!

When Said realized that Reese had hung up the phone, he scratched his head in confusion. What was this all about? Was he just bothering him for no reason?

But having finally escaped, how could I possibly go back so obediently!

Said glanced out the window and realized that Sophia wasn't watching him anymore. So, as the leader of Dam Zero and the god of war in everyone's hearts, Said decided to do something that a leader should do!

Goodbye, cage! A true bird is never caged. What I yearn for is freedom!!!

Just as Said was about to turn and slip away, he heard Sofia's "gentle" call from above.

"Said, now that you've finished the call, where are you going?"

Saeed: It's over! ???

Chapter 157 A Huge Misunderstanding (Bonus Chapter)

(Thanks to Cangxuan from the Yangtze River Delta for the generous update!)

Just as Said was being dragged back to his office by Sofia with a deathly expression, the soldiers, who looked like stray dogs, also fled back to Hamk's castle.

"Boss! Where's the boss? I have something very important to tell you!"

The captain returned and searched for Hamk like a madman. On his way back, he kept thinking, if Reis and Hamk really cooperated, wouldn't they be wiped out?

Back when Reese wasn't as powerful as he is now, he was able to lead his team on his own and send them running for their lives. Although his own boss likes to make bold statements about how he'll show Reese how powerful they are sooner or later, he's not stupid. He knows his own team's strength.

Add to that all the rotten things they've done in the past, and if Reiss and Hafk really wanted to fight them now, it would be a complete disaster!

"What's all the noise about! As my soldiers, can you please stop yelling all the time? Let's talk things out slowly. Anyone who doesn't know better would think we're about to be wiped out."

At this moment, Hamk also came out in his big tank, and said with a dissatisfied tone, "You know, now I have this high-tech big tank. Even if Reis comes, he may not be able to threaten me. At most, he will just have to give up this territory."

"Boss! This is really serious! Of our three teams, only the three of us are left!"

Hamk, who had been sitting calmly inside the tank, was stunned upon hearing the news. What was going on? Was there a mole among his men? How could Reis even react?

"What's going on! Don't tell me this time it's like the last village raid where we just happened to run into Reis."

Hamk thought to himself, "How could my luck be this bad? I'm the man who carries the weight of restoring the Assara royal family! How could my luck be so bad every time!"

"No, no."

"What exactly happened? How come you three are the only ones left after killing three teams? Could it be that that bastard Reis has recruited some powerful general again?"

Hamk was even more puzzled. He hadn't even encountered Reis, so how could he have been beaten like this? Could it be that his soldiers were too weak?

"It's Hafk! It's them! We were just about to move when they sent a helicopter and dropped several bombs on us. We were lucky to see them and run away first, but the other two teams... were blown to pieces."
