77 Lower Ridge Forest Mission 2 (1/2)
Under the pouring rain in the forest, without even the slightest bit of light, over a hundred / hundreds of Battle Mechas moved with rustling sounds. From the mecha’s night vision equipment, the environment in front of them became distorted with green and red colors blurring their vision.
The mountain ridges started leading downwards. [Logic] was current in between several mechas; there were six mecha behind him, and there were three mechas, which were equipped with slip-resistant mecha equipment ahead of him. Every step they took would raise an innumerable quantity of mud and would leave deep prints behind in the muddy soil.
Seeing this broken-looking Battle Mecha suddenly move without sound in a manner where the steps were even lighter and quieter than a cat’s, the Fierce Tiger commandos behind Fatty clicked their tongues in wonder.
Half an hour later, the team finally reached a location between several high towering mountains. They tightened their formation as several [Antennas] activated their signal shields at the same time.
In the distant where cannon fires were being set off, Fatty felt that this mountain basin had a different sort of silence. What he did not know was that at this time, the Gyaca Woods Imperial Army was entirely in a mess, and the Myth Legion had long entered the mountain basin one step earlier!
The movements of the vicious dogs were much faster than expected. After receiving the orders given down by the Imperial Army royal family, they had maintained the offense on Garo Mountain Region partially so as to not let the forward command department feel any abnormalities. At the same time, they dispatched two companies worth of [Devil Tigers] and a platoon worth of [King Kongs] to carry out the mission of capturing Russell.
Even if they were being cautious, the movements of the Myth Legion had alerted Russell. The initial plan of this Empire general had been to use the form of adding oil bit by bit in order to consume the strength of the loyal dogs of the royal family, thus he had told Hamid to keep a lookout on the Myth Legion.
After the strange circumstances regarding the Myth Legion had happened half an hour later, Hamid discovered that the Myth Legion’s offense on the front line had started to become weak and feeble and had also discovered that a small section of the Myth Legion was currently moving towards the Lower Ridge Forest.
Almost at the same time when Hamid reported this matter to Russell, Russell received an emergency report regarding the fact that there was a part of the Freedom Battlefront infiltrating the Empire’s internal political government.
Even after a full ten minutes later, Russell had not regained his mind. He had not thought that he would be betrayed by the Leray Federation, not to mention they had not even hidden anything—it was especially clear-cut!
Just a spy who revealed his identity, and several words later, his entire plan had been ruined the next instance without there being a chance to criticize what was wrong with it!
Only after a long period of time did he finally understand that the two of them did not only have an ally-enemy relationship! During certain circumstances, an ally could become an enemy, and an enemy could also become an ally!
On the matters regarding military affairs, he himself had the capabilities of playing the two nations on his palm, and what he was good at was a roundabout route of interweaving plots—that was an eight-directional sweep on the map amidst the cannon fires.
But on issues related to politics, he himself was not a match for these veterans. Making a deer out to be a horse and hiding daggers in one’s smile were the prowess of others, allowing them to use the misrepresentation of words to move the will of the people’s hearts!
Since he was making use of the Leray Federation, then why wouldn’t the Federation make use of him as well? Saying such good things to each other or even making a louder move on the chessboard, without having a true gain, the other party, the Federation, was not a fool and would not just accept his words at face value. But between him and the politicians that mired in the maelstrom of politics, who would be the bigger fool? When there’s true gain, regardless of whether it had been with a friend or not, they would still betray him! That’s the essence of politics!
