Chapter 1712 The King of Nanxun?
In the beginning, the intelligence agency did manage to take down quite a few small fry.
However, as the battle began, other officials in Nanxun City gradually began to make preparations.
They had long anticipated that they would one day be blitzed by the intelligence agency.
So they made thorough preparations from the very beginning.
They have a lot of money, but they are more afraid of dying.
After satisfying their material needs, they began to spend money to hire people as their henchmen.
The people they hired weren't actually very capable.
But they couldn't stop these people from hiring so many.
To be precise, they have very few people they can hire, so few that it's appalling.
Because in Nanxun City, not only do these minor officials need to hire people, but the high-ranking officials also need to hire people.
Since unifying the world.
Many combatants thus lost their value.
Many knights and mages disdain teaching at academies.
They wanted to experience a luxurious lifestyle.
To put it bluntly, it means having both no money and wanting things.
How can this be?
So they had no choice but to become thugs for others.
However, there's a lot of water involved.
There were second- or third-tier battle qi knights applying for jobs, as well as sixth- or seventh-tier battle qi knights.
However, few high-level aura knights are willing to lower themselves to become someone else's henchmen.
Most importantly, these people understand who the real leader is, so very few high-level combatants are willing to serve as henchmen for the high-ranking officials in Nanxun City.
Because they knew that true high-end combat power was nothing more than a slap in the face for Lyon.
How could ordinary humans possibly defeat dragons? Dragons are beings that Leon could easily crush.
Don't you have any idea of your own capabilities?
However, compared to others, those third and fourth-tier low-level battle qi knights would still choose to become henchmen for higher-ups.
The reason is simple: the higher-ups in Nanxun really gave them a lot of money.
They flocked to jobs that paid well, had little work, and were close to home.
Therefore, a considerable portion of the low-end combat force chose to join Baroqueli in Nanxun City.
Baroquely was very generous. He spent a lot of money to recruit these low-level fighters, and then distributed them all to his subordinates to protect them, forming a huge interest group.
Following the intelligence agency's surprise attack, the entire interest group reacted immediately.
They used these cannon fodder security forces to defend against the outer attacks of the Imperial Guard.
Meanwhile, the low-level henchmen of this interest group immediately began to retaliate against the intelligence agency.
Because they learned that Hans, the head of the intelligence agency, was currently in Nanxun City directing operations.
The story is a long one. Hans originally planned to take a good vacation, but the problem was that one thing after another piled up.
Hans had no choice but to act swiftly and decisively, personally commanding the lightning raid to end the operation as quickly as possible.
He then went back to accompany Tina in preparing for their wedding.
However, for some reason, news of Hans' arrival in Nanxun City leaked out, and Baroquely initially planned to surrender.
However, after discovering that the intelligence agency's offensive was ineffective, he immediately developed ambitions.
If they can acquire Hans as quickly as possible, they can then negotiate with Lyon.
Baroqueley initially intended to run for leadership through normal means.
However, with successive victories in the war, coupled with stable economic growth, the economy has been able to recover.
Lyon's position became increasingly secure, which intensified Baroquely's unease.
Because he was genuinely afraid—afraid that Lyon would continue as leader. If that happened, he would never be able to lead again.
He may have been groomed by Lyon, but he is an ambitious man.
Many of the high-ranking officials in Nanxun City were once poor children who couldn't afford to eat, but now they've made it so that many others can't afford to eat...
Even some high-ranking officials were bewildered.
Because they unknowingly discovered that they had become the very thing they used to hate the most.
But they showed no remorse.
Because they realized that once they had power, they were the true rulers of Nanxun City!
Sixth Street.
More than 100 intelligence police officers and more than 200 intelligence agents are fighting against hundreds of militants.
These militants were all die-hard fans of Baroqueley.
Nanxun is the largest port city in China, with a resident population of over 200 million.
And nearly half of them are Baroquelie supporters.
Among these 100 million or so people, there are more than 10 fanatics.
Baroqueley initially didn't intend to use this force, but then the intelligence agency launched a swift attack.
This forced Baroquely to mobilize these 10 fanatics.
At Baroquely's signal, some fanatics blocked the intelligence agency's advance.
Some fanatics even prepared to go to the outer city to block the Imperial Guard's attack.
If the intelligence agency were to be intercepted, they would at most get a beating, but the impact of intercepting the Imperial Guard would be extremely negative.
The intelligence agency might investigate you, or at worst, make you lose your job.
The problem is, if you dare to stop the Imperial Guard, you're very likely to be torn to pieces...
Hundreds of fanatics picked up AK47s and Mauser rifles and began besieging the intelligence agency's headquarters.
Fortunately, Hans was not a pure intelligence officer.
He also has a certain command ability.
Although he couldn't command large-scale battles like Guderian and his men, he could still command battles involving a few hundred people.
Hans called Flester, urging him to break through the defense as soon as possible.
On the one hand, he ordered the intelligence agency to withstand the pressure.
Hans looked grave after learning that Flester's attack had failed.
After thinking for a long time, he finally called Margerlov.
"The situation in Nanxun City is somewhat chaotic and gradually becoming uncontrollable. I would like to request reinforcements from the airborne troops."
It would be best to mobilize as a group, because Nanxun City is currently in a very abstract, or more accurately, Baroque state, where a group of fanatical supporters have begun to take up arms and riot.
Some people even started publicly calling for the leader to step down.
This is something I cannot tolerate. Commander William of the Guards has already dispatched an additional Guards division south, but it will take at least six hours for them to reach the south.
The current situation can't hold out for long, so I hope the airborne troops can arrive within an hour.
Upon hearing Hans's request, Margerov looked grave and immediately dialed an airborne base in the eastern part of the Great Yan territory.
"Everyone, immediately pack your weapons and equipment and parachute into Nanxun City within one hour to reinforce the Intelligence Bureau and the Guards. Eliminate Baroqueley's resistance forces as quickly as possible!"
With Margelov's direct authorization, the airborne base immediately sprang into action.
It was the dead of night, and most of the paratroopers were asleep. But as the bugle call sounded, all the soldiers jumped out of bed immediately.
They then immediately began donning their weapons and equipment.
Airborne troops have the fastest reaction time of all military units.
Under Margelov's direct orders, all the paratroopers were assembled in less than 5 minutes. The pilots didn't even have time to put on their uniforms properly before they sat in the cockpit and started the plane.
In less than 10 minutes, all the paratroopers at the base had taken off by plane.
Many of the paratroopers were still half asleep.
Inside the cabin, their squad leader was explaining the specific combat mission to his soldiers.
"Chief of the Intelligence Bureau, Hans, is trapped in the Sixth District. Our mission is to parachute into the Sixth District, then launch a coordinated attack from the center, cooperating with the Imperial Guard to take Nanxun City in one fell swoop!"
The soldiers were stunned when they heard this.
No, we parachuted into Nanxun City. What did Nanxun City do?
Although the squad leader's words were somewhat rough, the base's political commissar was explaining the specific situation to all the soldiers via broadcast.
When they learned that this was a desperate attempt by a corrupt group, the paratroopers were furious.
To dare betray the great Lord Lyon and go against the people, isn't that just like someone who's eaten too many red beans?
