The First Order Chapter 767 - The beginning of the war

Chapter 767 The beginning of the war
Wang Yun fell seriously ill while being held in the secret prison. In fact, it had become very difficult for superhumans to fall sick nowadays. He knew it was purely because he felt so wronged that he had fallen sick this
time.
It was not easy for him to become the top dog of the intelligence agency, but he only managed to be on the job for one day before he was removed. He had not even warmed the seat yet!
Moreover, he did not only get framed by one party. While in prison, Wang Yun realized he had been set up by both the Wang Consortium and the Northwest.
These two organizations probably did not conspire with each other, but their simultaneous efforts had caused a critical effect on him.
Regarding the problem at the front lines, Wang Yun thought about it and felt there was something fishy.
Because entry into the command center was restricted, not everyone had access to the command and control systems. The soldiers were also not allowed to bring any electronic devices into the military base.
But this was a trap set by the Anjing House and the Wang Consortium. To them, if they only needed a hard drive to take down the entire front line’s command and control systems, why would they resort to using him to achieve that? Although other methods might be more difficult, it was not entirely impossible!
Besides, there was obviously a lot of uncertainty involved in using him to do this.
So Wang Yun suddenly understood the other party was being redundant like this because they had intended to cast the blame on him.
If he did not succeed in helping them achieve this objective, the enemy might have other backup plans for the front lines. They would still be able to paralyze the command and control systems at the front lines regardless.
And then there was the Great Hoodwinker. Wang Yun did not at all expect him to do something like that!
How horrible!
Wang Yun even felt that the Great Hoodwinker, Ren Xiaosu, and the others were probably the ones who sent his subordinates away by changing the marks he had left for them. Although he did not have any evidence, these two incidents were equally awful!
Under normal circumstances, it would be quite difficult to encounter such mean people.
However, Wang Yun could not figure out why this had happened. He did not have any grudges with them, so why were both parties targeting him at the same time?
Actually, Ren Xiaosu asked the Great Hoodwinker a similar question before. He was wondering if there was really a need to force Wang Yun into a corner. The Great Hoodwinker’s answer was that it was absolutely necessary.
If someone like Wang Yun were allowed to lead the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency, he would become a big threat to all of the other organizations. When Wang Yun first joined the intelligence field, he made a name for himself. He could carry out missions decisively, and his ability to find leads was unmatched, while his memory was also unparalleled.
When such a person occupied a low position in an organization, he might not be able to reach the potential of his power. But if he were to become the director of the intelligence agency, it would be disastrous for the spies of the other forces.
Who knew when your comrades might get caught and be tortured by him?
Therefore, if such a talented man was not going to be part of the Prosperous Northwest, they should be exterminated as soon as possible.
Of course, the Great Hoodwinker was more inclined to let Wang Yun experience some hardship first before joining the Prosperous Northwest.
The Great Hoodwinker had always been a resolute fortune teller. If he said you would prosper in the Northwest, you would have no other choice but to fulfill the prophecy.
The only unexpected thing was that according to the Great Hoodwinker’s past experience, although Kong Donghai was a suspicious man, he would probably not do anything to Wang Yun over just a photo. At most, he would not place Wang Yun in an important position within his organization.
However, he did not expect that the Wang Consortium would also set Wang Yun up and cause him to be sent straight to the secret prison.
So the Great Hoodwinker was already thinking about how to rescue Wang Yun at this moment.
But before Wang Yun’s rescue could happen, a war between the Kong Consortium and the Pyro Company quietly broke out.
At the border between the Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium, the troops who had always been affiliated with the Kong Consortium’s military suddenly crossed the border and fought an unexpected skirmish with the patrolling Pyro Company’s troops.
This caught the Kong Consortium by surprise as well. Due to the collapse of their front line’s command and control systems, their command center had given the order not to trigger any conflicts. However, this platoon seemed to have gotten lost and appeared in the Pyro Company’s territory.
After that, even though there were only two platoons on both sides totaling less than a 100 people fighting at first, by the afternoon of the same day, more combat units from both sides had joined in, and the skirmish spilled over into an extremely intense back-and-forth battle.
The two armies bordered Mt. Dabaichi. In the past, this place was scenic and beautiful, but now it had turned into a theater of death.
No one knew why the Kong Consortium’s platoon had suddenly gotten lost, nor did anyone know the significance of this battle. They just started fighting all of a sudden.
When the Kong Consortium’s command center received the news, they decided to send in a brigade to suppress the enemy. These troops were even equipped with audio broadcasting equipment.
The Kong Consortium felt they had the upper hand against the Pyro Company now. ‘Since you, the Pyro Company, have willingly delivered yourselves to our doorsteps by starting a war, we, the Kong Consortium, will have to teach you a lesson for being so arrogant.So what if we don’t have any armored troops? Our Kong Consortium holds the key to your survival! Over the years, there had been endless friction between the Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium. The border armies on both sides had always harbored enmity against each other, so now seemed to be the best time to take revenge. The Pyro Company did not cower even though the entire Kong Consortium’s brigade was charging at them. Instead, it was as though they had laid an ambush with even more troops.
The Kong Consortium was not to be outdone either. They wanted to teach the Pyro Company a lesson with blood at the front line of Mt. Dabaichi.
The Kong Consortium’s troops rushed onto the battlefield with their sophisticated audio equipment, playing a “backing track” as they charged.
But something unexpected happened. The Kong Consortium soldiers at the front line discovered the audio recording did not have any effect on these Pyro Company troops. No one lost consciousness and fell to the ground, and no one was foaming at the mouth. Instead, they started fighting even harder.
This caught the Kong Consortium’s troops off guard and forced them to retreat in defeat!
Kong Fangyun, the commander at the front line, was dumbfounded. Didn’t they say the Pyro Company spies in the strongholds had already been wiped out? Didn’t they specifically test the authenticity of the audio recording on them? Then why weren’t the Pyro Company’s troops afraid to hear the audio recording?
This should also be a trap set by the Pyro Company, right? The other party had already made preparations and sacrificed several hundred people to lure the Kong Consortium into their trap. They sacrificed more than 600 spies to make the Kong Consortium believe it was real! Among them, there were even some spies who had already risen to become mid-ranking military personnel in the Kong Consortium army. All of this left the Kong Consortium absolutely convinced they had found something they could use against the Pyro Company!
But just as the Kong Consortium thought they could usurp the Pyro Company, they realized they had been tricked!
If not for this audio recording, the Kong Consortium’s frontline troops would probably still be holding their defensive positions instead of taking the initiative to attack like they were doing now. Furthermore, they had even initiated the attack when their armored brigade was mostly incapacitated!
The Wang Consortium and the Pyro Company had collaborated flawlessly and put on a good show for everyone. They tricked so many supernatural beings into going to the Sacred Mountains and killed them there. Then they even joined forces and caused the Kong Consortium to lose the opportunity for a preemptive strike.
Kong Fangyun imagined they would probably not only have to face the Pyro Company. The western front should also be facing a massive invasion by the Wang Consortium!
The chaotic war affecting the Alliance of Strongholds had finally begun. Meanwhile, the first slice of pie everyone wanted their hands on turned out to be the Kong Consortium.
Only now did all of the organizations understand that the peaceful days of the Alliance of Strongholds were about to end. What awaited the stronghold residents would only be a gloomy and bloody war, and no one knew when peace would return again.
