It was not Yuncheng's spy, but a person of unknown origin. After the tip-off, he disappeared and did not show up at all.
This may sound strange, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Jiang Yue had just arrived in Yuncheng. Although he had come into contact with many people in Yuncheng, not many of them actually knew his whereabouts.
Those who participated in the meeting did not know what Jiang Yue was going to do at what time. Moreover, Jiang Yue had just arrived. How dare these people be so bold? Monitor his movements?
This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is really unlikely.
If Weird Tree was an undercover agent in Yuncheng, Jiang Yue believed that this person would never dare to risk being exposed so early.
As for today's meeting, Jiang Yue had carefully observed everyone, and he had been using his mind-seeing skills, and he did not notice any obvious abnormalities.
Although the mind-peeping technique cannot completely penetrate the other party's thoughts, if it is really an undercover agent of the strange tree, it may be difficult to avoid leaking any flaws in this situation.
So, who could be the tipper?
Jiang Yue gently stroked his chin, thoughtfully, and had more or less answers in his mind. However, it was obvious that he could not get an accurate answer from the prisoner's mouth.
After all, this man is just an armed man and does not necessarily have a high status. It is already good to know this.
It's a pity that the man in black could not be retained.
The man in black must have higher authority and must know more information.
When asked about the man in black, the armed man did not hide anything, saying that the man had a very high say in the Weird Tree camp and could at least be ranked among the top ten in the entire Western Region.
However, this man named Zongye is not the first person responsible for the Weird Tree targeting Yuncheng.
The first person in charge of the Weird Tree camp is named Ying Jiu, and everyone calls him Master Jiu. This Jiu Ye is very mysterious, has very strong combat power, and is deeply trusted by the Weird Tree.
As for Zong Ye, he is Jiu Ye's deputy and is highly respected by Jiu Ye.
If Master Jiu and Master Zong can be killed, the Weird Tree's power against Yuncheng will be leaderless and paralyzed.
When asked what Zongye's means of escaping were, the prisoner was unclear.
He only knew that Master Zong was a powerful warlock who was naturally very sensitive to strange creatures and had also received some blessings from the strange tree.
As for whether the black light was a prop or his awakening talent, the prisoner couldn't tell.
After all, for him, Zongye's status was too high and it was related to Zongye's personal privacy. It was safe and reasonable that he didn't know much about it.
After some more torture, almost all the valuable information was extracted, and Jiang Yue and others called it a day.
Let Commander Hao's men take the prisoner away. Commander Hao will naturally still have to interrogate him.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yue got up early.
The climate in the Western Region is generally less rainy and the weather has always been very sunny.
However, because of the strange tree, Jiang Yue stood on a high place and looked far away, and there was always a mist at the end of his field of vision, emitting a strange green light.
In other words, the area dozens of kilometers away is basically controlled by the strange tree. Those territories no longer belong to humans and have nothing to do with humans.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that just after breakfast, several people came to him to report on their work.
One is Yu Yanru, the other is Commander Hao’s precious son Hao Yinan, and the other is a liaison officer of the 93rd Army.
Hao Yinan was the first to arrive. While Jiang Yue was still having breakfast, this guy had already arrived. He was waiting at the door of the restaurant and stopped Jiang Yue as soon as he finished eating.
The purpose of this guy's visit is very simple, just to talk to Jiang Yue about the last stronghold. This guy obviously holds a grudge. He suffered a loss there last time, and he is impatient to regain his reputation.
His own strength was obviously not enough to regain his place, so he wanted to form a group with Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "Brother Hao, I think your physical condition still needs a few days to recover. Well, I will arrange for you to get to know a few people. They are all my good brothers and good friends in Star City, and they are all spiritual awakeners.
If you communicate more, it will definitely help you tap into your spiritual power."
Hao Yinan is still a reckless soldier on the whole. His personal force is good, but he places too much emphasis on personal force.
Jiang Yue felt that it was a pity that his spiritual power was not deeply explored.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Tapping out mental strength will definitely help Hao Yinan substantially improve his combat effectiveness.
Jiang Yue called over Tong Feifei and Zuo Wujiang, both of whom were spiritual awakeners. Tong Feifei, in particular, was the leader among them.
It would definitely be a good thing for Hao Yinan to have someone to inspire and guide him.
Hao Yinan was helpless, knowing that it was not a problem to pester Jiang Yue. Moreover, he was indeed very interested in tapping into spiritual power.
After finally settling Hao Yinan, Jiang Yue had a few words with the military liaison officer.
This liaison officer came here to convey two things.
First, Commander Hao's intention was to ask Jiang Yue to give Hao Yinan more guidance. There was a lot of intimacy in his words, and he obviously wanted Hao Yinan to learn his skills from Jiang Yue.
The second thing is to share some information that the military extracted from the prisoner with Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was not pretentious at all, and also gave some replies. Please ask the 93rd Army to find out the whereabouts of the Hengcheng team if they have time.
A few days ago, the Hengcheng team claimed to have set out to investigate the relevant information about the Weird Tree, and went deep into the core area of the Weird Tree within thirty kilometers.
It stands to reason that there are many directions to go in depth when investigating the strange tree. To get to a truly suitable stopping point, Yuncheng is undoubtedly the first choice.
However, Jiang Yue has not heard about the whereabouts of Hengcheng's group of people so far.
Could it be that this group of people did not settle in Yuncheng? Instead, they chose several other directions?
There are no big cities like Yuncheng in other directions. Whether it is supplies or backup, they are obviously far behind Yuncheng.
Of course, although Jiang Yue had some suspicions, he didn't mean anything. He simply asked the people from the 93rd Army to have time to investigate.
After all, the 93rd Army is a local snake, with many people and many insiders. To understand the affairs of Yuncheng, it must be easier than Jiang Yue and others who have just arrived.
The liaison officer returned to the 93rd Army headquarters with Jiang Yue's reply.
Jiang Yue didn't stop. After seeing off the liaison officer, he immediately made an appointment with Yu Yanru, deputy director of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau.
Yu Yanru mentioned those speculations about several important strongholds at yesterday's meeting.
Jiang Yue asked her to document the data and reasoning into a written format.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yanru, a workaholic, had already rushed out overnight. She probably spends a lot of time studying this aspect.
"Sir, this is the relevant document you asked for. Please give me some advice." Yu Yanru was very capable and went straight to the topic without any unnecessary pleasantries and handed the document to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue has always admired such practical talents.
Open the folder and look at it carefully.
I have to say that this document is very detailed, with pictures and text combined to explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
What is substantive evidence and what is speculation are clearly written.
Including the specific locations of these strongholds, general information, and previous battles related to these strongholds, there are very detailed descriptions.
This is a very valuable document.
Jiang Yue read it once, and then read it again from beginning to end. He basically understood all the information. Coupled with some observations from his flight yesterday, Jiang Yue felt a little confident.
"Yu Chu, the material is very well done. I believe you have spent a lot of time and energy researching it. I am curious, did you not submit relevant reports to President Ou and Director Wu Yongda?"
Yu Yanru said calmly: "I mentioned verbally that Director Wu lacks interest. I can't talk to Director Ou. Moreover, Director Ou basically doesn't care about the battle itself, so looking for him is in vain."
"Where's Commander Hao? Didn't you think of looking for him?"
"Sir, Director, I am the deputy director of the Operations Bureau. In Yuncheng, you may not know that Director Wu is very taboo about his subordinates having contact with the military."
Jiang Yue was confused and said with a smile: "This is an extraordinary period. Do you still think about the struggle for power and profit in the sunshine era? Besides, Commander Hao doesn't seem like that kind of domineering person, right?"
In Star City, in the Central and South Region, Jiang Yue really didn't find that the military and the operations bureau were so clearly separated.
Although there are indeed some disagreements between the two sides in competing for talents, the general direction is still unity.
Yu Yanru smiled bitterly and said: "I was actually hesitating whether to secretly send this information to the military. Didn't I hear that the joint command team would be stationed in Yuncheng? So I simply waited a few more days."
However, when Yu Yanru said this, Jiang Yue couldn't ask further questions, otherwise it would seem to be trying to sow discord between the two parties.
It can be seen that Yu Yanru is somewhat disappointed with Wu Yongda.
In this document, Jiang Yue saw one of the strongholds, which recorded several fierce battles, including the one in which Hao Yinan was injured.
This stronghold is called Yangcun. It was actually a town in the Sunshine Era. It was called a village, but in reality it was Yangcun Town. The town was small in size, with a population of about 30,000 to 50,000.
However, in the strange era, there were not many survivors left in the town, and up to now, it has been basically determined that there are no survivors in this stronghold through previous surveys.
There may be so-called survivors, and they may have become members of the Weird Tree camp.
After all, after the strange tree invaded the surface world, it had the ability to combine humans and tree demons, process humans into tree demons, deprive humans of their emotional side, and replace them with the instincts of the inner earth tribe.
"Yu Chu, have you been to Yangcun Town?"
"I led a team there, but we suffered heavy losses in that battle. Eleven of the eighteen regular team members were lost, and twenty or thirty of the non-staff Awakened Civilians were lost. Those who finally retreated totaled
No more than fifteen people."
"So tragic? Then why did Hao Yinan and the others go there later?"
"This is the situation of the military and the Operations Bureau. No one looks down on the other. They cooperate on the surface, but in fact they think the other is a loser and their fighting ability is too bad. They don't believe in evil."
Jiang Yue touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yue put down the document and looked at Yu Yanru with sincere eyes.
"Yu Chu, there are only two of us here. To be honest, you are in the Yuncheng Operations Bureau. Can you objectively evaluate the current combat effectiveness of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau? If we all come out to attack only one of these strongholds,
Can the Star City Operation Bureau be able to chew down two of them?"
"One may be fine, but I think two are too much." Yu Yanru did not shy away, and looked at Jiang Yue calmly.
"You have a total of five important strongholds here."
"Yes, and this is in the direction of our Yuncheng. I don't know if there are other important strongholds in other directions or how many there are." When Yu Yanru said this, she sighed softly.
"Then what do you personally think about our chances of winning in the Yuncheng defense battle?"
Yu Yanru barely paused: "Before you came, I felt that the chance of winning was almost infinitely close to zero. After you came, I felt that we had a 30 to 40 percent chance of winning."
"This is not a compliment to you personally, nor is it only because of the superior combat effectiveness of your Star City team. It is also because you are backed by the joint command team and have the backing of the central government. With high authority, the resistance to commanding the overall situation will be relatively small. Otherwise, Cloud City
If we are all scattered and fighting each other, how can we have any chance of winning?"
This is indeed an upright guy, no wonder he has not been reused before.
"I shouldn't say bad things about my boss, but Ou Lin is the Sunshine Era chief of Shoucheng. It's beyond his ability to ask him to take charge of the overall situation. Commander Hao is very capable and has high morale, but the soldiers are straightforward and lack the ability to coordinate and dispatch.
, we have never been particularly harmonious with Chairman Ou Lin and Director Wu Yongda. As for our Director Wu, I do not deny that he is capable, but his position is only the third in command, but he is not willing to be the third in command, so
The cooperation between these three giants has always been 1+1+1<3. The middle-level commanders below basically have their own factions, and they are often at a loss. How can it be possible in this situation?
How about a good fight? It’s easy to understand the tragic casualties one after another, right?”
Yu Yanru must have been suppressed for too long, and she felt a little unhappy. She said a lot in one breath, and the more she talked, the more angry she became.
"Do you think the directors of the Operations Bureau really have no ability at all? That's not true. Unfortunately, they are capable, but they don't have the heart to fight to the death. No one wants to be the one who stands out, and everyone is afraid that they will go too far.
If you use too much force, you will lose your life. Take the last time I commanded the Yangcun battle as an example. I tried my best to lead people to investigate the Yangcun stronghold. Although I lost my troops, at least I put in my efforts and really went deep behind enemy lines to investigate. Return to the bureau
, the director criticized me for being reckless, and the division chief blamed me for losing too many manpower, which led to a shortage of staff in our division and a decline in strength."
"Master Director, can you understand this feeling of wanting to kill the enemy but being hampered everywhere? What I'm most angry about is why they always treat the personnel in the bureau as personal property? The sacrifice of the team members means that his strength has declined.
?Affect their status? If the Action Bureau considers the problem like this from top to bottom, then who will fight desperately? How can the humans in the Western Region live to die?"
