326: Chapter 326: The Elders Behind the Scenes

Found it?

Everyone was excited for a moment.

Good heavens!

There really is some!

In the beginning, we in Africa only managed to annex the surrounding areas step by step relying on the weapons and equipment Lin Heng provided them.

However, later on, when facing modern armies, they still felt it was extremely difficult!

Especially when Chieftain Sam led over ten thousand men to attack the one thousand-person mobile unit of the Pretty Country military forces, they were almost wiped out...

At that time, they knew that the gap in weaponry could absolutely not be compensated for with flesh and blood.

Thus, if they obtained the enemy's munitions, they could also possess a certain level of influence internationally and wouldn't have to worry about someone daring to provoke them casually.

How could they not be uplifted?

However, if there was anyone in the room with a calm expression, it was only Lin Heng.

Such a scene... For him, it was already commonplace and nothing surprising.

"Take us there."

Lin Heng spoke casually.

Hearing this, the US Officer scrambled up from the ground with a look of pleasant surprise and hurriedly led the way for Lin Heng.

That was truly being subservient!

If a traitor managed to reach this level, they would probably already be at the rank of Colonel...

But under Lin Heng, whether he was a dog or still just a dog.

On the way.

Lin Heng happened to run into Lubisang who was walking toward him.

Lubisang's expression was very grim. Lin Heng only needed one look at his expression to roughly know the result.

"Find anything?"

When Lubisang walked over, his expression was calm.

Lubisang glanced around and didn't speak immediately.

Those vendors, following along under the guise of concern and assistance, suddenly felt a pang of fear and their expressions changed slightly when they noticed Lubisang's gaze.

They even stopped immediately, not daring to take another step forward, and quite a few of them adopted a posture of retreating.

Lubisang whispered, "National Advisor, your guess was correct; they are indeed unclean. Moreover, I discovered something interesting."

"Speak..."

Lin Heng nodded calmly.

"These people have some connection with the former Council of Elders. When we first started building the city, these people joined under the guise of migrant workers. In reality, they were the secret agents of those people..."

"To monitor our every move!"

Hmm!?

Good heavens!

Lin Heng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He turned his head, and his gaze quickly turned cold.

"Arrest them, leave no one behind!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those vendors resembled startled bears and began fleeing backward!

At that moment...

A gunshot rang out.

It was one of Lin Heng's personal guards.

The rest of the men also sprang into action.

Upon hearing the gunshot, the others ran even more frantically.

"Stop! Or you will die a worse death!"

Someone shouted, though it was unclear who.

The result was that the vendors ran even faster.

What a joke!

If they didn't run now, were they waiting to die?

Every one of them wished they had two extra legs and immediately bolted!

At that moment...

The few people running at the front suddenly stopped.

Their faces were filled with panic, and they slowly retreated step by step.

In the corner...

A group of people appeared, fully armed!

What was the point of running now!

"Heh heh! These streets and alleys are full of our people. Do you really think you can escape!? Isn't that a joke!"

Lubisang quickly caught up.

"We... we were wrong... We won't dare again... Please, don't kill us, we'll do anything!"

The vendors cried out mournfully, their faces full of sorrow.

"Hmph, kill you?"

"That would be too easy for you!"

"Wait for the National Advisor to speak. Hopefully, you still have a chance to atone for your crimes with meritorious service!"

Lubisang grinned.

Hearing this, the vendors became even more distressed.

Soon, Lubisang and his men arrested these people, handcuffed them, and escorted them before Lin Heng.

"National Advisor, how should they be dealt with?"

"National Advisor, we were truly wrong... Please, give us a chance to atone for our crimes with meritorious service. We truly didn't do it intentionally; it was all forced by the Council of Elders..."

"We have eighty-year-old mothers above and three-year-old daughters below... We truly didn't want to be enemies with the National Advisor; those people forced us to do this!"

"..."

Upon seeing Lin Heng, these Black vendors immediately knelt on the ground, begging bitterly.

Lin Heng didn't have the patience to argue with these people.

He spoke lightly.

"The news hasn't leaked yet. You only have one chance..."

As soon as he said this, the Black vendors were stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding Lin Heng's meaning...

Seeing this, Lin Heng frowned slightly.

With the intelligence of these people, they were only fit to be sent out by the people of the Council of Elders to do some tedious work for those people.

After all, they were all the same kind of fools.

Previously, Lin Heng had been a little worried, thinking these people might have already stolen quite a few of their secrets, but now it seemed...

He had worried for nothing before.

"Confess honestly. What did those old fellows send you here for?"

In fact, Lin Heng already knew without them saying, it was naturally about those munitions underground...

He just wanted to hear the inner thoughts of these people.

As expected... the other party spoke with faces full of sorrow.

"When we were renovating the Yuan Tribe before, we discovered those munitions and naturally reported them to the Council... Oh no, those old fellows!"

"They said that if they could obtain this batch of munitions, they could contend equally with the National Advisor. Even if they couldn't truly overthrow your rule, they could still pose a considerable threat to you..."

"If you try to move against them in the future, at worst, we can have a mutually destructive outcome..."

Finally, these people quickly confessed everything the Council of Elders had told them.

Hmm!?

Lin Heng's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Good heavens!

It was exactly as he had guessed.

Only those extremely boring fellows would think of this.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

A mere batch of munitions could threaten him?

What a joke!

"Take them down first and make them spit out everything they know. The rest of you follow me."

Lin Heng quickly commanded.

"Yes!"

They quickly took action.

"National Advisor... We really didn't do anything, truly, we were all forced..."

Those vendors were still crying out miserably.

However, Lin Heng had lost his patience.

He simply greeted the US Officer ahead, who was already too shocked to speak.

"Continue..."

The other party quickly snapped back to attention.

He glanced at the Black vendors, licked his dry lips, and quickly turned back silently.

Continuing on their way.
