Chapter 4027 The Real Intention
The order to retreat was finally given. This sentence was really difficult for Xu Qiang to say.
It just adds a time limit to the retreat. Since it is a retreat, why do we need to repair for two days? What to do in two days? Is it possible to just wait here to die?
It's obvious that Freman's power is in full swing. Once Freman seizes the opportunity, a huge mercenary group will pounce directly on them. At that time, there won't even be a way out.
"Two days? Why wait two days?"
"Yes, Xu Qiang. What does this mean? Isn't it okay to retreat now?"
"Freeman won't give us time. We don't have much time left."
Xu Qiang put one hand on the table and stared at everyone. The discussion calmed down again. Among them, Qin Gang had the loudest voice.
They didn't understand what Xu Qiang said, but Duan Zhisheng, who was sitting aside, was thoughtful and seemed to see through Xu Qiang's intention, but even if he saw through it, he wouldn't say it out loud.
"I know all your confusion and incomprehension. The reason why we retreat after two days is because we still have a battle to fight tomorrow. After this battle, the Edward family will have a batch of arms supplies arriving at the previous dock. "
Xu Qiang explained to everyone that they were still partners in the arms business of the Edward family, and it would be a big loss if they just retreated.
It is not difficult to understand why Xu Qiang set the retreat time for two days. There are still very important things to do in these two days, Xu Qiang continued.
"If we use troops externally, Freeman will not doubt that we are going to retreat, and think that we will choose to fight to the end. Creating such an illusion is to numb Freeman's eyes and create opportunities and time for us to retreat."
This is just one of them, there is another point, Xu Qiang continued.
"The number of arms of the Edward family this time is three times that of before. We still have arms customers to take care of. Of course, the most important purpose is to make a windfall from it. Wouldn't it be more convenient if everyone takes the money to retreat? good?"
Xu Qiang's words touched everyone's heart. It is true that everyone comes to such a ghost place just for money. If there is no money, no one is willing to risk his life for it.
The fight between the Edward family and the Jock family made arms a scarce material, and they could profit from each batch of goods. This kind of transaction was much faster than robbing money.
"By the way, we can also change our equipment, so that if we encounter Freeman's pursuit when we retreat, we will have tough guys who can confront them head-on."
This explanation was reasonable, so everyone thought that Xu Qiang was right. After two days, they were fully prepared, and then all of them withdrew from the mercenary battlefield and returned to their original place.
With Xu Qiang's words, everyone felt more relieved. Xu Qiang's plan was even perfect. While they retreated, they could also get a sum of money, so why not do it.
So today's parliament ended like this. What was originally discussed was how to retreat, but now it happened two days later. Among the people present, Bart felt that there was something strange here, as if there was some conspiracy.
But he couldn't tell, so he had to go back to rest. After a while, Duan Zhisheng was the only one left in the room, staying with Xu Qiang.
Duan Zhisheng saw what happened just now and the changes in everyone's expressions. Indeed, the Lengjian mercenary group's will to fight was very weak at this moment. Even without those masters, it would be difficult to win this battle.
Xu Qiang lit a cigarette, and he knew that the master would definitely stay, and what he just said could not be hidden from him.
"Okay, let's talk about what happened, and the so-called plan just now. In fact, you were announcing the correct time to attack, right?"
"It seems that I can't hide anything from you. You have guessed all the things I haven't said yet."
"You changed your decision. I think Xiao Yi's previous phone call was not what you said. He already knows about the trouble here and has already helped you solve it."
Duan Zhisheng was able to be the one Xu Qiang came to ask for help. Naturally, he had his own merits. He had known countless people. Xu Qiang had such a small mind and didn't even think about bending around in front of him.
Xu Qiang had no choice but to tell the truth. There was no need to hide it in front of the master. They didn't tell anyone about it, but Xiao Yi already knew the situation on the mercenary battlefield.
And arrangements have been made. The strong men of the Xiao clan are on the way at the moment and will be here tomorrow morning. At that time, the threat posed by the opponents' masters will collapse in an instant.
"It seems that although Xiao Yi is not in the mercenary world, he is well aware of the situation here. In fact, he has already thought of the things you are worried about."
"Yes, I don't want to disturb Brother Xiao's peace because of this matter, but now it seems that I have to trouble him."
"This is not trouble. No one can deal with those people except Xiao Yi."
Duan Zhisheng said that Xu Qiang was overly worried on this point. Since a strong man from the Xiao clan participated in the battle this time, Xu Qiang and his side would have a 50% chance of winning.
Because cultivators will not interfere with normal people's affairs, they will not participate in battles between mercenary groups. Of course, casual cultivators like Duan Zhisheng and others do not have any rules and naturally do not need to abide by them.
So it became the Cold Sword Mercenary Group, and the one-sided battle with Freeman removed external factors and gave Xu Qiang and the others more confidence.
"Master, you have seen what happened just now. If I tell what Xiao Yi arranged, not only will it not have a good effect, but it will bring trouble to Brother Xiao, because many things have failed because of leaks."
Xu Qiang had to hide it from everyone. He could only say that he would retreat in two days. In fact, the real plan was to launch an attack in two days.
Retreating was just a cover, used to deceive those with ulterior motives. Even he could smell it, and the smell of rebellion in the mercenary group was getting stronger and stronger.
Not to mention the meticulous observation of Duan Zhisheng. Duan Zhisheng can determine who will rebel, but he will never take action without evidence, which will only disturb everyone's hearts.
"It seems that you have grown more than just a little. You launched the attack two days later. By that time, my injury had almost recovered. It was time to settle the score with Freeman for the sake of your lost arm and dignity."
Xu Qiang touched his severed arm. The master was right. A decisive battle would break out in two days. At that time, he and Freeman would definitely have a showdown to decide who was qualified to survive.
