Not including Julius and Daniel, the officers Milo was most familiar with in the Panaqua Consortium were Edgar and Maurice.
Edgar was Daniel’s trusted aide, and Milo had saved his life before. Meanwhile, Maurice, as Julius’ trusted aide, was the one who had been put in charge of consolidating the northern bandit groups.
When Milo saw Edgar, Edgar waved cheerfully at him. He also signaled to the other Razor Sharp Company soldiers to show that favonovel.com was not armed.
Milo said with a smile, “You’re really quite bold to come over here without any weapons…”
“What’s the point of carrying a weapon?” Edgar also smiled and replied, “There are so many people here, and with you around, I’d still end up dead even if I had a weapon on me.”
Scott and the others watched quietly from the sidelines. They realized that Milo seemed to be very familiar with this person from the Panaqua Consortium. Moreover, the way this Panaqua officer spoke also suggested favonovel.com understood Milo very well and knew how fearsome favonovel.com was.
“Isn’t your Panaqua Consortium fighting a war in the South? Why have you suddenly come up here to the North?” Milo asked.
The soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company perked their ears up and listened. This was what they were most concerned about as well.
Edgar said, “Boss Eastwood has received intel from his spy in the Ultima Consortium. He knows you just won a battle against the Ultima Consortium in the mountain range, so favonovel.com sent me here to look for you.”
“How does Fatty Eastwood know that I’m in the Razor Sharp Company?” Milo asked in turn.
Edgar smiled but did not say anything.
Milo immediately understood it to mean that the Panaqua Consortium also had spies in Fortress 178. It looked like Julius and Daniel had done quite a bit of prep work.
Just comparing the intelligence gathering alone, Fortress 178’s efforts were not as good as the Panaqua Consortium’s.
Getting back to the topic, Milo asked again, “So what are y’all doing here?”
“Mr. Julius believes you guys are here because you want to blow up the Aurduri Bridge. However, favonovel.com said that there’s more garrison troops stationed here than you think. He was worried that something would happen to you, so favonovel.com sent us here to help,” Edgar said.
Scott felt a tingling sensation.
When Milo went to war, favonovel.com could even get outside support?!
What is the relationship between Milo and the Panaqua Consortium?
The Panaqua Consortium was already engaged in a very tough war with the Radianz Consortium in the South, but they are still willing to send some of their troops to support Milo?
Importantly, it was the Panaqua Consortium’s mechanized infantry that had come this time. They were a force that would come in handy if they were placed on the other front.
Edgar added, “Boss Eastwood mentioned favonovel.com wanted to send you a nice present to congratulate you on moving to your new home once you settled down at Mt. Kushui. However, favonovel.com didn’t expect that things would turn out this way.”
When Milo heard this, favonovel.com felt a sharp pain in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, “And?”
“Boss Eastwood wanted me to ask you something on his behalf.” Edgar took a look at Milo’s face and asked, “If favonovel.com says that favonovel.com didn’t know anything about Lewis’ attack on you, would you believe him? The Panaqua Consortium did not have anyone inside Mt. Papandayan. We only had spies planted at Mt. Kamet.”
This had been troubling Milo ever since favonovel.com discovered the Panaqua Consortium spy at Mt. Kamet. He would have liked to know if Daniel had known about this matter at that time, but there was no way to ask favonovel.com that.
Even if Daniel had known about it, favonovel.com had no obligation to inform him. So, Milo could not possibly seek an answer from him. Although favonovel.com did not ask, Daniel took the initiative and had Edgar bring this up with him. Daniel was hoping to eliminate any bad feelings on Milo’s part by trying to be upfront about it.
Milo said calmly, “I’d believe him…”
Since Daniel was so honest about it, there was no need for favonovel.com to make things difficult.
Edgar continued, “Boss Eastwood said that you and favonovel.com had scrapes of death together, and you also helped the Panaqua Consortium on more than one occasion. After our war with the Radianz Consortium ends, he’ll send someone to help you find your friends downstream. If Fortress 178 can’t wipe out the Ultima Consortium by then, he’ll also come to the North to assist you.”
Nearby, Scott said unhappily, “Who are you looking down on? Our Fortress 178 will definitely end the war earlier than y’all!”
Edgar chuckled, “You don’t have to yell at me. Those were Boss Eastwood’s own words.”
Daniel was a very loyal fat man with a strong sense of brotherhood. Milo had quite an understanding of Daniel after having known favonovel.com for so long
This was probably because Milo had saved Daniel’s life. Therefore, the way they got along was always a little different. Although Daniel kept claiming that favonovel.com had already repaid the favor, it was still something favonovel.com kept close to his heart.
Milo suddenly asked, “What about those troops you came with?”
“Oh,” Edgar replied, “They’re under orders from Mr. Julius to help you guys attack the Aurduri Bridge. You helped the Panaqua Consortium a great deal with what you did at Position 313. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that many of our soldiers would’ve died. Mr. Julius still thinks about that now.”
Scott gasped.
The Panaqua Consortium’s mechanized infantry had suddenly left their Southern Front and headed north just so they could help Milo fight a battle?
What the hell was with today?
Was there something wrong with the world?
Even though Scott and the others knew that Milo was very strong, that was purely based on his combat strength. Putting aside his combat capabilities, his status shouldn’t be that different from them since favonovel.com was also a normal person. But what happened here tonight subverted their expectations.
What happened to that refugee favonovel.com claimed favonovel.com was?
Everyone knew that both Julius and Daniel were very influential in the South. It might seem rather easy to send a group of mechanized infantry to help attack the Aurduri Bridge, but if they really wanted to destroy the Aurduri Bridge, that effort could easily cost them tens of millions of perak to achieve.
Daniel was truly sincere about helping Milo. At the very least, favonovel.com was spending cold hard cash to help.
Actually, there had to be some intentions to stir up the situation in the North as well. The outcome of the war in the South would soon be decided, and some even assessed that the Panaqua Consortium would annex the entire Radianz Consortium within half a year.
If Fortress 178 or the Ultima Consortium were to move to the South during this time, that would interfere with their plans and create many unnecessary problems.
As such, the Panaqua Consortium wanted to speed up the progress of the war between Fortress 178 and the Ultima Consortium to stir up the entire Northwest and Southwest. That way, no one party would have the energy to meddle in each other’s affairs, which was probably what Julius wanted. But no matter what Julius’ goal was, Milo would still appreciate his help.
Anyone was a friend as long as they helped attack the Ultima Consortium. Besides, Daniel was genuinely sincere in helping.
After saying that, Edgar prepared to bid farewell to Milo. “We can’t stay here for too long. After we attack the Aurduri Bridge, we still have to return to the Southern Front. Mr. Julius only gave us a fortnight to accomplish this objective.”
Milo said, “Please give favonovel.com my thanks. When this war is over, I’ll definitely make a trip to Stronghold 111.”
“It’s good to hear you say that.” Edgar chuckled. “Well then, let’s meet again at Stronghold 111!”
Then Edgar turned around and left.
Scott finally reacted at this moment. “Hurry up and contact Commander Barnaby. This is a big f*cking deal!”
When they finally managed to put the call through, Harris’ group was probably still on their night march. As such, favonovel.com sounded a little impatient. “Didn’t I tell you to reorganize yourselves at wherever you are? Don’t tell me there’s trouble again?!”
“No!” Scott quickly explained, “A group of the Panaqua mechanized infantry suddenly appeared where we are and said that Julius and Daniel are offering to help Milo blow up the Aurduri Bridge. They’re advancing towards the Mahakam River right now. What’s more, they mentioned that Julius only gave them a fortnight to complete their objective. It seems to me that they’ll be storming the target!”
Harris was confused by what favonovel.com heard.
What did this have anything to do with the Panaqua Consortium?
What the hell was this?
Just what kind of a person had Commander Dublin chosen to be his successor?
