Chapter 298 Night Raid on Cairo

There is a square tower in Cairo facing Gisai.

The square tower is made of glass crystals of special material. Under the scorching sun, the square tower does not reflect the flash that is too bright to look at directly, but instead absorbs the light.

When the dark blue light covers the earth, this square tower can also release the stored light.

Although these rays cannot kill the undead, they can make the effects of the dark light disappear temporarily.

The undead in the ancient capital relied on the energy of death to move, while the undead in Egypt relied on the aura of death. In areas where the aura cannot shine, the undead cannot invade.

Therefore, the Square Tower is the most trustworthy guarantee in Cairo.

There is a pyramid-shaped command center on the square tower.

Military Intelligence Officer Sass stood upright in the empty command hall.

Not far away was a long half-moon-shaped table with five seats in total, which were the seats for the five heads of the Cairo military.

There were only two people in the command hall.

One was Sass, who kept his head down and said nothing.

The other is a middle-aged or elderly person sitting in a chair.

He looked like a dying tree, without any life.

But those dark eyes emitted a sharp light, and he looked like an extremely dangerous beast!

This man's name is Ethan!

"Notify everyone to arrest those Orientals!"

Ethan said in a sharp tone.

"Sir, why are they wanted?"

Sass asked in confusion.

"How many times have I told you that this world is in the hands of those with brains? People like you who are good for nothing except cultivation will eventually be eliminated!"

Ethan scolded Sass harshly.

Sass didn't dare to speak. Although his body stood straight, his hands on his thighs were still trembling slightly.

"They have all decided to go against us. We can't keep being passive. We must take the initiative!"

Ethan said coldly, "Write a report about the attack by bandits. I will have someone deal with those Orientals."

"Yes, the leader is very thoughtful."

Sasse nodded.

Leng Mou snorted coldly and was about to continue speaking when the sound of military boots was heard outside the command room.

Sasse turned around immediately and found that the door had been pushed open.

A short old man in a military robe walked in.

When Sass saw this person, he saluted hastily, his movements looking a little flustered and nervous.

The short old man didn't even look at Sass and walked towards the half-moon angled table.

Sass turned his head back, only to find that Ethan had moved from the main seat in the center to the seat at the edge.

The short old man's hunched body was very different from Ethan's, but he went straight to the center seat.

As he sat down, the short old man seemed to have discovered something wrong.

He looked up at Ethan next to him and asked sarcastically, "You seem to like it here?"

"These years in Cairo have exhausted your energy. It's time for you to go to a place without gun smoke and dark lights to raise dogs and birds!"

"You are now suitable to deal with these animals, instead of the brutal creatures that destroy our city at every turn."

Ethan said without giving in.

"I remember ten years ago, when you were only a major general, your respectfulness made me feel that you were indeed sincere and bright."

"But since you sat here, it seems like something has blinded you. I'm really curious as to why you have become like this."

The short old man asked in a calm tone.

"Perhaps it's because of the incompetence of some people, perhaps it's the true choice of public opinion, perhaps time will indeed take away courage and fighting spirit."

Ethan said calmly. "I see. If Cairo can remain peaceful after this battle, I won't mind the residual heat that makes me uncomfortable if you sit in my seat next time."

"But the battle zone you commanded seems to be a mess. When I went to the street alone to buy a cup of tea, I heard a lot of people talking about your stupid decision to storm."

"I have a disciple who was unfortunately assigned to your vanguard team. Before the battle, he solemnly promised me that he would come back to celebrate my birthday for me."

"But last night I missed one of his gifts, and I didn't hear his hearty and sincere laughter. I had no choice but to eat the cake I had left for him, even though eating too many sweets would make me die faster."

"Take off your disguise and tell me, did you know before the war that he would never come back?"

The short old man narrated calmly.

"It was just a try. As expected, he gave me a surprise and died miserably at the hands of those mummies."

"Then I can only let my people take his place. The missions my people carry out will not be easier than his, but my people can usually complete the mission alive!"

Ethan said calmly.

"Strangely enough, demons are always friendlier to your people."

The short Haken sighed.

"The next wave of undead will come with the demon snakes. Let me take charge of this battle. Please pay tribute to your disciples."

Ethan said lightly.

“It’s not up to me to decide this matter.”

Haken shook his head and then asked, "You sent a group of people out on patrol yesterday, and my people saw Sass's army fighting some mages."

"Reporting to the commander of the army, I encountered a group of bandits with ulterior motives. When I questioned their identities, they did not give a reasonable identity."

"When we wanted to bring them back, they suddenly attacked us and we had to arrest them."

Sasse explained hastily.

"Oh, that's not worth mentioning."

Haken said calmly.

"Yes, just some trivial matters."

Sasse nodded repeatedly.

"Have you read General Finner's report?"

Harken asked.

"I read it and found it to be pure fantasy. I rejected it and gave her a lecture."

Ethan said disdainfully.

“It is indeed absurd.”

"It is indeed a very stupid decision to let this kind of frontier staff officer who has made a little contribution come to the main city of Cairo to serve as a general."

Ethan said sarcastically.

"She just didn't have many opportunities to display her talents."

"She thinks there can be peace in Egypt, and that's the most ridiculous notion."

Ethan sneered.

“There’s nothing wrong with that concept.”

Haken said with a serious look.

Night falls and the stars are shining.

With the help of Qin Zhan, the group successfully entered the city.

The next place they are going to is the combat command town!

The combat command town is the military core of Cairo. The military rank to enter here is at least officer, and the Military Control Commission can be seen everywhere!

"Old Qin, are you sure Finner is in the combat command town?"

Zhao Manyan asked.
