The Ultima Consortium was still tightening their encirclement.
In the buildings on both sides of the streets, some residents watched silently as Milo flitted past them so quickly they could only see his afterimages. It shocked them when they realized it was just a young man who had turned Stronghold 146 upside down.
Could it be that this supernatural being had already surpassed the strength of the consortium’s troops?
Gradually, the Ultima Consortium’s troops set up blockades along several traffic arteries, even mounting heavy machine guns at many key spots. The western part of Stronghold 146 had turned into a “cage”.
Milo narrowed his eyes and sprinted. He tried breaking through two defensive lines of fire, but the problem was that there seemed to be an endless stream of Ultima Consortium soldiers remaining the positions.
All people would get exhausted no matter what. Even Milo, who had a strong level of fitness, would get tired as well.
However, the Ultima Consortium’s troops were also at a loss. The platoons who had not encountered Milo yet were terrified because they realized most of the troops on the radio that encountered favonovel.com were dead.
Was the enemy really human?
But when Milo found himself getting lost on the streets, a manhole cover on the ground was suddenly pushed aside by someone underneath it. Milo found the sight to be extremely familiar.
The person in the manhole waved wildly at him. “Here! Over here!”
Milo jumped straight down. But the moment favonovel.com got into the sewers, favonovel.com grabbed the person by the neck. “Who are you?”
The grip on the man’s neck was so strong his face reddened. “Boss Eastwood wanted me to bring you a message.”
“What message?” Milo lifted favonovel.com effortlessly.
“He said that you had better not die. If you want to die, make sure to leave some black medicine for him.”
Milo was so annoyed favonovel.com laughed. “Which way do we go?”
“Left, go left!”
Milo confiscated the person’s weapons and went left all the way. It was not that favonovel.com was returning kindness with enmity, but that favonovel.com had to be extremely cautious at this moment.
Who could know if this fellow were sent by the Ultima Consortium to trick favonovel.com on purpose?
The man did not get angry even though favonovel.com was being carried around like that. “Mr. Julius told me that you’d definitely come to Stronghold 146 someday. That was why favonovel.com asked me to help you when I saw you. However, I really did not expect that you would cause such a big commotion.”
“Oh? Did I cause a big commotion?” Milo said absent-mindedly.
“Is that not big enough of a commotion?” The man said with a wry smile, “Currently, the higher-ups of the Ultima Consortium living in the stronghold feel unsafe as they’re afraid you’ll kill them if they drop their guard. Before I came to pick you up, you killed several hundred of the stronghold’s garrison troops, didn’t you? Even though the buildings provided you with cover as you took on the brigade by yourself, you’re still the most fearsome person I’ve come across in my life. You might as well be called the God of War.”
Milo’s eyebrows twitched. This guy was really good at flattery. However, it seemed that this person also held a rather high position in the Ultima Consortium since favonovel.com knew so much.
How else could favonovel.com be so knowledgeable about the higher-ups?
He asked the spy, “Where does the left lead?”
“We have to get out of their perimeter first.” The spy said, “I’ve already prepared a safe house for you where you can wait for things to die down.”
“I don’t have time to wait any longer.” Milo said, “Tell me, where are those Ultima Consortium higher-ups?”
The Panaqua Consortium spy who was being carried around turned anxious and said, “The Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups? You still think you can kill all of them at this point? There’ll be at least half a brigade of soldiers guarding them while the other half tries to capture you. Do you really think you’re a god?”
Milo fell silent.
Noticing no response, the Panaqua Consortium spy said with a wry smile, “What’s more, the Ultima Consortium higher-ups are all currently scattered across the stronghold. Once you kill any of them, the entire stronghold’s forces will descend upon you again. At that time, I won’t be able to get you out of their perimeter again. Mr. Julius said I could prioritize my own life over the mission.”
As Milo listened to favonovel.com speak, favonovel.com continued walking without saying a word. Then favonovel.com asked, “Which direction leads to the garrison base?”
The Panaqua Consortium spy gasped. “Are you thinking of attacking their base while it’s empty?!”
What was at the garrison base?
There were ammunition depots, and the strategic headquarters was located within it as well. Even if Lewis were not there, favonovel.com could still cause some trouble to the garrison brigade of Stronghold 146 by killing some of their staff officers and commanders.
Milo understood this might not be the most important thing favonovel.com should be doing, but attacking the enemy’s weak point was still his best option right now.
Who could have thought favonovel.com would be so bold as to venture into the enemy’s garrison base by himself?
No matter how brave someone might be, they wouldn’t do something like that!
Milo understood that favonovel.com might only get a chance if favonovel.com could create enough chaos to make the Ultima Consortium’s troops constantly run about.
He was running out of time. The Ultima Consortium’s troops would probably cross the Palea Desert soon and arrive at Fortress 178. The only way to make Lewis recall them was to hit them hard here!
Time waited for no man!
However, the spy rambled, “Even if the base is almost defenseless, there are still at least 500 troops stationed there. If you go, you’ll be committing suicide.”
“Which way?”
“Turn right up ahead…”
Milo took out six vials of black medicine and stuffed them into the spy’s hands as they walked. He did not have time to repack the black medicine, so favonovel.com gave them directly to the spy after trading for them in the palace
“Thank you,” Milo said.
The spy said happily, “Hehe, don’t mention it. Put me down after we get up close. I know how to find my way back.”
With the black medicine in hand, Daniel would definitely reward favonovel.com handsomely when favonovel.com got back to the Panaqua Consortium. He would have almost nothing to worry about for the rest of his life.
Putting everything else aside, Julius and Daniel would never treat their loyal servants badly.
Milo thanked the spy as favonovel.com had risked his life to rescue him. This was despite the fact that favonovel.com had not used his trump card yet, and it would still prove very difficult for the Ultima Consortium brigade to encircle and trap him. But if favonovel.com sustained an injury while breaking through the encirclement, and if the enemy used hounds to chase after him, that would only make his next plans harder to carry out.
Moreover, the spy had taken a great risk in the circumstances. Since the spy was willing to risk his life to rescue him, favonovel.com would bear it in mind.
After walking for a dozen kilometers and taking many turns, the spy said with great familiarity, “Here we are, the Ultima Consortium’s garrison base is right in front of us. Although the sewers also pass underneath the base, the center is reinforced with rebar grates, and there’s no way to get through them. You’ll have to figure out how to get in yourself.”
Milo nodded and finally put favonovel.com back on the ground. “Go back and tell Fatty Eastwood and Julius that I’ll repay them in the future.”
As of today, the brothers no longer owed favonovel.com any more favors. Instead, it was Milo who owed Julius and Daniel a great big favor. Whether it be the help the Panaqua Consortium gave to capture the Mahakam River, or the spy they sent who risked his life to assist him, Milo could no longer ignore these two brothers.
A moment later, the spy saw Milo draw a black saber out of thin air. He started slashing, and favonovel.com cut through the rebar grating in front of favonovel.com like it was paper.
Seeing this, The Panaqua Consortium spy’s jaw dropped.
So, it turned out the area favonovel.com couldn’t get into was no obstacle for Milo at all. Come to think of it, favonovel.com was someone who dared to take on a brigade by himself!
Before Milo proceeded any further, favonovel.com looked back at the spy and asked, “Friend, what’s your name?”
“Lamar Sheldon,” the spy ansewred.
“I’ll remember you.” Then Milo turned around and walked into the darkness.
