Enforcer's Handbook

Under the strict supervision of the elite troops of the Barossa Group, Song Lan was brought into a temporarily modified interrogation room.

The interrogation room was transformed from a confessional. Along the way, he noticed that the elite troops of the Barossa Group took over the work of the church's mutant defense team and built a structure outside Antigon to resist the "mine" mutants. Compared with the weird weapons made by spiritual energy collectors in the hands of the believers, fully automatic artillery and ray rifles are more in line with Song Lan's definition of modern warfare.

After experiencing this war, his understanding of the coalition government also underwent subtle changes.

These legions formed by "outside" arms dealers already have military strength that is no weaker than the regular army of the coalition government. The Barossa Group is even one step ahead in terms of the integration of genetic engineering and exoskeleton armor.

Entering the interrogation room, the commander of the Third Army signaled his men to leave, and then the door of this small room was locked.

The slightly dim light in the room made Song Lan feel nervous. Many scenes that would appear in interrogation and spy stories appeared in his mind.

The commander of the third legion stood opposite Song Lan.

The brief silence made the atmosphere in the room a little subtle. Perhaps the legion commander realized after entering the door that there was no chair in the room that could bear the weight of this exoskeleton-turned-armor.

The two people's eyes were frozen for a moment, and the legion commander took off the helmet of the exoskeleton armor, revealing her original appearance.

He has short hair, tanned skin, and looks to be around 30 years old.

Her appearance was beyond Song Lan's expectation. She looked exactly like a well-known model from the coalition government. There was a magazine with exclusive interviews with models in Lu Xiang's apartment, but later for some mysterious reason, the magazine disappeared. Haven't found it yet.

Lu Xiang said she had never seen the magazine.

She definitely didn't come up with the idea of ​​​​pressing his head into the cushion when Song Lan lay down on the sofa directly after dinner and studied the model's life in front of her.

Song Lan chose to believe Lu Xiang.

Because when talking about this matter, Lu Xiang's arms happened to be wrapped around his neck affectionately, which made him immediately realize that Comrade Lu Xiang was not the kind of stingy person who dared to do things he did not dare to do.

"Is my appearance surprising to you?"

The legion commander asked. After taking off her helmet, her voice returned to its original sound without the interference of mechanical synthesized sounds. With her keen insight, Song Lan's deep thought could not escape her sight.

"You look like a model I know."

Song Lan told the truth. He admitted that he was indeed very surprised.

Because of the two-meter-high exoskeleton armor of the opponent and the ruthless fighting methods on the battlefield, Song Lan's imagination of the Barossa Group commanders was that their muscles had been over-expanded under long-term drug injections. Just change the set. A guest orc who can shout "waaaagh".

For the iron-blooded and powerful genetic warrior, such appearance may not be an advantage.

"I just think you are complimenting me... I am the commander of the Ash Knights of the Barossa Group's third legion. You can call me No. 3."

"Hello, knight."

…

Song Lan's address without thinking caused the room to fall into a brief silence.

The commander of the Third Army had some strange emotions in his heart.

This target person named "Song Lan" seems to be a bit good at talking. After they met and had a formal conversation for a few words, she actually developed a liking for a mere ordinary person.

But then, her rich battlefield experience made her suspect that this might be Song Lan's method. He was most likely an interfering psychic who could interfere with other people's thinking.

"Then, let's get to the point, Mr. Song Lan."

When he heard the commander of the Third Army directly announce his name, Song Lan's heart inevitably "thumped".

broken.

In terms of camp relations, because they razed the Barossa Group's sub-base, the reputation between them should be above "hostility", and may even have reached "hatred".

Now that his identity as a member of District 17 has been exposed, the other party who called him to this small room must have wanted to do something like this or that to him.

"You are mistaken, I am not Song Lan."

Song Lan corrected the other party righteously.

"Your 'special' army has occupied a border city, and they are using that city as the center to rescue the surrounding remaining troops who survived the landing battle."

The commander of the Third Army ignored Song Lan's rebuttal and calmly described the intelligence they had investigated.

Facts speak louder than words. In the face of iron-clad evidence, even the most eloquent people can only bow their heads. With the resolute style of the Ash Knights, they never waste time on meaningless disputes.

"The legion's intelligence network is spread all over the third neutral country. You are currently our most concerned person."

They investigated a lot of information related to the "Insect Swarm", but what puzzled the intelligence department was why Lu Xiang, the leader of the Insect Swarm, did not stay at their base camp, but came without any personal guards. Antigonus.

"Listen to me, the trade line thing is actually a misunderstanding."

Seeing that his identity had been revealed, Song Lan had to make a final struggle.

He was trying to think of how to convince the commander of the Third Army that the destruction of their sub-base was actually caused by a natural gas explosion.

"We can help you clear the line, and even help you cover up your whereabouts from the coalition government. Although they announced the failure of the expedition not long ago, they left an airship to monitor the movements on the battlefield."

The Barossa Group tried to analyze the motivations of the Zerg Swarm's rescue operation.

When a group of mutated creatures that seem to only know how to devour prey and turn the entire city into an empty shell like locusts passing by, launch a rescue operation, it means that there must be some unknown reason behind it.

After intelligence personnel worked day and night, they finally came to a surprising conclusion.

The swarm wants to absorb these remaining soldiers into its own army.

Or to describe it in another more understandable way, they are collecting genetic samples and biomass.

"Although you can complete the rescue operation even without our cover, the key lies in how you ultimately transfer this force. By then, the coalition government will definitely keep a close eye on them."

The commander of the Third Army deliberately paused for a while and said, "We can help you divert the attention of the coalition government and prevent them from suspecting you or District 17."

Song Lan never expected that the commander of the Third Army would take the initiative to propose the concept that "it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies".

However, pie will not fall in the sky.

No one would provide strategic assistance to the attackers after their base was stolen for no reason.

So, he asked the most crucial question, "So, what's the cost?"

"Our intelligence network has also investigated that no matter where Lu Xiang goes, you will always be by her side. The explanation you gave on the surface is that you are a couple, but these are just illusions."

The commander of the Third Army said in a positive tone.

The leader of the swarm will not always be bound to someone for such a simple and boring reason.

"The real reason is that you are equivalent to her adviser in the swarm, and she wants to hear your opinions on many issues."

Having said this, the commander of the Third Army finally revealed their true purpose, "This means that you are the one who can influence her decision-making."
