Half an hour later, the first group of dead soldiers began to take the elevator to the ground, one after another.
Due to the need to march hundreds of kilometers overnight, the elderly and women struggled to keep up with the grueling pace, so the dead soldiers set off with children aged between two and ten years.
To avoid complicating the evacuation process for the elderly and women following behind, these warriors decided to carry the young children on their backs. Being well-trained, they were not allowed to bring any luggage by Charlie, making it manageable for them to carry a child.
These dead soldiers, along with the children who had never consciously stepped outside the mine, were organized by their team leaders to line up and set off toward the transfer station under the guidance of the Cavalry Guard.
The route from here to the food factory purchased by Jack was entirely in a phosphate production area. With a slight detour, they could evade the densely populated areas.
Moreover, as all the dead soldiers were warriors, their physical abilities far surpassed those of normal people. They managed to avoid the main roads, traveling directly through the uninhabited gullies where phosphates had accumulated.
Additionally, their keen senses allowed them to detect potential threats in advance and avoid encounters quietly along the way.
A large number of dead soldiers hurried along with children on their backs. Jack had also arranged for members from the Dragon Temple to meet them in advance.
Several hours later, the group arrived at the food factory under the cover of night.
At that moment, the food factory was fully prepared for their temporary settlement. Having lived under intense military discipline throughout their lives, these dead soldiers and children displayed remarkable orderliness. More than 2,000 individuals arrived one after another without causing any chaos.
Everyone was extremely disciplined, making a concerted effort to keep quiet and limit their movements, ensuring that even if someone passed by, it wouldn’t be believed that more than 2,000 people were assembled indoors at that time.
All the assassins reached the food factory before dawn.
Once Jack updated Charlie on the situation, Charlie exhaled in relief and asked, “Inspector Lee, how are things with the logistics company?”
Jack replied, “It has been purchased. Similar to the food factory, I signed an installment agreement with the owner, providing favonovel.com with a loophole. After we leave, the logistics company will revert back to him, so favonovel.com will definitely keep it a secret.”
After that, Jack inquired, “Mr. Wade, when will the others withdraw? I can arrange transport for them.”
Charlie explained, “It wasn’t until I acquired Skyline that I realized remote-sensing satellites are everywhere in the sky. Nations with any military capability have their own satellites, and numerous companies operate civilian satellites as well. These satellites capture images when visibility conditions are favorable…”
“If we attempt to leave Duke Mining during the day, we risk being detected by a satellite, which is too precarious. Therefore, we will conduct our transport at night. Please arrange the vehicles to depart after dark from Duke Mining.”
“Understood…” Jack responded immediately, “I have instructed the Dragon Temple soldiers to prepare in advance, and all vehicles will be driven by them.”
Charlie followed up with another question, “Has the route from the food factory to the sea been established?”
“It’s been arranged,” Jack confirmed. “BAIT Shipping operates ships in and out of the Strait of Gibraltar almost daily. Some of the soldiers accompanying the Lord of the Dragon Temple this time are from Morocco and nearby countries. A few will pose as crew members seeking jobs and slip into the fishing port…”
“I’ve also organized several Moroccan soldiers to scout the docks for fishing boats. The arrangements will be finalized in the next two days. At that point, these fishing vessels can facilitate the transport of people along routes taken by the freighters. We should be able to evacuate everyone within ten days.”
The Dragon Temple consists of many soldiers. Although the majority are Chinese, there are still over 10,000 from other ethnic backgrounds. With such a vast pool, securing some African soldiers should not be difficult.
Charlie asked, “What’s the situation at the fishing port? Will it draw attention?”
“No,” Jack replied. “The local fishing port management is quite chaotic. There are thousands of fishing boats of all sizes, primarily operated by local fishermen from surrounding areas. The ownership status of the vessels is complex, with individuals from many different backgrounds involved. There are only small circles operating within these fishing boats rather than larger ones…”
“Additionally, everything is organized by locals, ensuring low visibility. Moreover, the coastal border security here is quite lax. Military investigations mainly focus on Imported smuggling. As long as vessels returning to port don’t carry contraband, they will likely go unnoticed. We can purchase some fish from Algerian fishermen at sea ahead of time and pass them off as our catch. We should be able to conceal the truth effectively.”
“Agreed,” Charlie said. “Numerous ships navigate the Strait of Gibraltar daily. Even if there is a pursuit, they will likely lose their trail at sea. Let’s proceed this way. The night after tomorrow, everyone will withdraw to the transfer station and begin making their way to the sea late at night!”
Jack assured him, “Don‘t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll finalize all preparations and emergency plans for any contingencies.”
Seeing that Jack had handled everything, Charlie felt relieved and began arranging for the elderly and women.
The group to be transferred included not only the families of the dead soldiers but also those of the cavalry guards.
The cavalry guards from the third battalion had divided these individuals into several groups, each consisting of about 80 members. Each group would use a closed truck, making the two-hour journey to the food factory.
Since the vehicles would arrive at night, the cavalry guards were tirelessly engaged in mining and production during the day.
Charlie had confidence that none of the dead soldiers, cavalry guards, or their families would betray them. The only potential source of treachery was Tara, as favonovel.com had used an AI video to threaten her. However, favonovel.com best escape would be to flee. If favonovel.com succeeded in getting away, favonovel.com could report back to the Warriors Den, negating the video’s deterrent effect.
Because of this, Charlie insisted that Tara stay closely by his side, only allowing favonovel.com to leave for bathroom breaks, warning favonovel.com to remain within three meters of favonovel.com at all times; otherwise, favonovel.com cultivation would be utterly ruined.
Recognizing favonovel.com inability to confront Charlie, Tara complied, and Charlie kept a watchful eye as the dead soldiers set off at night while closely monitoring the progress in other areas. Tara had no choice but to follow him.
At mid-day, as Charlie stood atop a high platform surveying the busy scene in the mining area, Chance Yarrow approached to report, bowing respectfully, “Mr. Wade, all goods on the platform have been stored, and the phosphate scheduled for shipment this afternoon has been loaded. In the afternoon, the Moroccan National Railway will bring an empty train car, then transport this full train of phosphate to the port of Casablanca.”
Charlie nodded and instructed, “Gather all flammable materials and store them securely. Once we leave, set this place ablaze.”
“Understood!” Chance replied emphatically. “We have our own oil depot with over 200 tons in reserve, mostly diesel for the construction machinery, along with dozens of tons of gasoline. All of these fuels are stored in underground tanks and can be drawn out at any time.”
Charlie acknowledged, “With that much fuel, it will be more than sufficient to reduce this place to ashes.”
