Chapter 203 The Invincible General Geheros Strikes Again
"Get ready, Flame Dragon and Fury. This time, you two will be fighting alongside me." Zhao Yu turned his gaze to Flame Dragon and Fury again.
"It would be an honor, boss!"
"My flamethrower has been itching to fire for ages!"
Yanlong and Nuhuo both addressed Zhao Yu.
"Fight on, brothers! Victory...will ultimately belong to Asara!"
"For Saeed!"
……
Meanwhile, in Longbow Valley, inside the Hafk radar station.
Inside the radar station, the Hafk soldiers stationed at the Hafk radar station stood in neat rows, like ants lined up in an army, and inspecting their ranks was the warden, Gheros.
His personal guards stood on either side of him.
In the sky, helicopters from the Hafk forces continued to descend, bringing in batches of Hafk soldiers.
At this moment, a very large number of Hafk soldiers have gathered inside the Hafk radar station.
"Reporting to Your Excellency Warden, intelligence from Director Demulan indicates that their elite agents will soon launch their first attack on the dam." A member of the bodyguard approached the warden, saluted respectfully, and reported.
"I understand." The cold, emotionless voice came from behind the white iron mask.
"Your Excellency Warden, all soldiers stationed within the Hafk radar station area have assembled. Please give instructions." A Hafk shield bearer, carrying a shield on his back, walked up to the warden and saluted in return.
To coordinate with the strikes on the Zero Dam area, Gheros chose to station his troops at the Hafk Radar Station, located not far from the dam in Longbow Valley.
Although the Hafk radar station is a large area, it did not have a powerful figure like Geheros or Demulan who could speak for the group's top brass. Therefore, after Geheros arrived, command of the station was directly transferred to him.
"Your Excellency Warden, when shall we begin our attack on Dam Zero?" At that moment, a guard looked at Geheros and asked for instructions.
"Wait, wait for the fighter jets to appear."
The situation is still unclear, and we need to continue to build momentum.
But for now, let's clear out the Asara thugs in Longbow Valley.
Those guys, under Reis's leadership and the order established by Hafk, are like anthills gnawing at the dikes, termites damaging farmland, and rats stealing from warehouses.
For Asara's sake, for Hafk's sake, we must purge them!
"Since they're here, it wouldn't be a bad choice to take care of them before I take Red Owl's head, thus eliminating a menace for Asara!" Gherros began to incite.
As for what he was really thinking, Geheros knew it himself. After all, it's hard for people not to lie, and deceiving others isn't a terrible crime, but one cannot deceive oneself.
Demoulan?
Is De Moulin reliable?
If Demulan were reliable, would he and Rometheus have been tricked so badly before?
They say they're sending elite troops to attack the dam, but what kind of results they'll actually achieve, even Demulan himself probably doesn't know.
Thinking of this, a hint of annoyance appeared on the face behind the mask of Geheros.
It's true that there are now quite a few Hafk soldiers gathered inside the Hafk radar station. Without Hudson's restraint, Demulan's ability to support and deploy troops, while still very poor, is at least no longer in a state of "brain death".
Moreover, seemingly recognizing the danger posed by the Red Owl, Demulan mobilized reinforcements much faster than before.
But this is still not enough to support Geheros in eliminating the Red Owls.
Prior to this, through Skynet surveillance and by lurking inside GTI, Gherros had gathered some intelligence about Dam Zero. He knew that Said had assembled a very well-equipped force.
Although the dam remains an "intelligence black hole," the intelligence sent back by Skynet and Noon Model's insiders in GTI still allowed Gherros to make a preliminary assessment of Said's strength.
On paper, they still cannot gain an advantage over Saeed's side, and are even at a disadvantage.
With the GTI holding them back, Hafk's real advantage lies in the fact that the Aerospace Force, missile units, and some more advanced weapons cannot be deployed in the Zero Dam area.
Even Geheros didn't have many good options when the only option was to force a siege and engage in open-field battles.
Moreover, this is just a calculation of strength on paper; reality is far more brutal than mere theoretical discussion.
Looking at the troops that had been assembled and were now under his inspection, Geheros, who was well-versed in human nature, knew that beneath the seemingly orderly military formation, there were actually undercurrents, factions, and disunity among the troops.
Such troops are good at fighting when things are going well, but if you send them to participate in a mission like clearing out the Red Owl, they are likely to collapse if the situation turns unfavorable, ultimately leading to another crushing defeat for him.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The Efficiency Department fired a large number of employees, many of whom were truly lazy and good-for-nothings who deserved to be dismissed.
However, in organizations like the efficiency department, there will inevitably be a lot of one-size-fits-all approaches and situations that are out of touch with reality. This has led to the layoffs of many of the group's key personnel and backbone.
There was widespread panic within the group. Only when you got to the grassroots level did you realize that Hudson's reckless actions had caused damage to the Hafk Group that would be difficult to recover from in a short period of time.
In addition, these troops were drawn from various nearby regions by Demulan, so it's normal that their coordination was not perfect.
On the other hand, the problem lies with Geheros himself.
Previously, when GTI invaded Tidegate, he could blame it on Demulan's delayed reinforcements. However, he later suffered several defeats at the hands of Said. Although there were reasons for these defeats, they inevitably affected his "reputation" and shook his prestige.
Now, many Hafk soldiers sarcastically call Gheros an "actor," Hafk's de facto "public relations minister," because he seems more suited to giving speeches than fighting or guarding prisons.
Upon learning of this situation, Geheros was furious, wishing he could capture Raven again, lock him in the puppet room and give him a good beating, or capture Said and send Red Owl to the gallows.
Because he couldn't stop the rumors and ridicule, because he had indeed failed many times, and facts speak louder than words.
This is one of the reasons why he decided to target Reis first; he needs a victory to regain the prestige that rightfully belongs to him and to rally the disunited hearts of the people!
Once as famous as Said and feared throughout Assara, but far less formidable than Said, the Hellish Black Shark was the best target.
"Perfect timing! There are plenty of prisoners in Tide Prison who will become your scapegoats."
"Rhys, I really want to know, when you see those thugs you betrayed in Tide Prison, those scum who still idolize you, when you see me send you to the gallows, what expressions will you have?"
"Set off!
Target: Diamond Queen Hotel! All forces mobilized!
