Chapter: 5438

So everyone chimed in unison, "Yes, sir!"

After saying that, they immediately left the tent and each began executing the commander's orders.

At this time, Wu Shu outside was already so nervous that he was sweating all over, his body trembling uncontrollably.

His heart was racing to its limit.

So massive an accident in the history of the entire Ba Qing clan over a few hundred years, it's unprecedented.

The key is that as the Right Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army Commandery, I was somehow able to be tricked by someone under my very nose and have the entire base camp of the loyal warriors stolen from me, and even had General Gao and Earl Ou killed here. If this gets reported to the English monarch's ears, I'm afraid I'll face death punishment... At this moment, Wu Shu was almost instantaneously determined not to report the actual situation here to the English monarch!

At the very least, one cannot tell the English monarch that we've discovered the warhead and shell fragments of the near-defense cannon.

One definitely cannot let the English monarch know that there's a person's DNA on the warhead, and that person is probably General Gao, Earl Ou.

Because this thing is simply too sensitive, and since we've found shell fragments within the copper mine range, it would be enough to prove to the English monarch that this base camp has been secretly controlled by the enemy under my jurisdiction.

Coincidentally, Cyprus officials are also planning to cover up the news about the near-defense cannon and fill in this collapsed area. This means that everything that's happened here will soon disappear without a trace.

As long as I don't speak up, it would be impossible for the English monarch to know about the existence of the near-defense cannon.

That way, as for what actually happened here, I can pretend to be dumb and feign ignorance, directly indicating that no valuable leads were found during the investigation, and then package this thing into a headless case, and push it onto that mysterious enemy.

In that case, even if the English monarch punishes me, it won't be too severe.

After all, the enemy hiding behind us is one that the English monarch himself can't figure out, let alone New York and Northern Europe, which have already had two precedents.

Thinking about this, Earl Ou also let out a sigh of relief.

He felt that although his current situation was bigger than the movements in New York and Northern Europe, he would at least lose his position as the right army commander-in-chief, but he could still keep his life.

...

In no time at all, those heavy machinery digging up remnants and probing, almost came to a complete halt.

Immediately after that, they began to withdraw from the collapse zone one by one.

According to higher-ups' instructions, excavation and probing work has come to an end.

Earl Ou saw this and felt even more at ease in his heart, so he immediately sent out a signal to other people, telling them to leave immediately as well.

A few people gathered outside the copper mine after that, and Ou Shu asked others deliberately: "Have you found any clues?"

Everyone shook their heads with expressions of shock and unease.

Among them, Ou Shu's younger brother Ou Shaohang opened his mouth and said: "Commander-in-chief, I just looked around inside the collapsed area and the entire copper mine has already become a ruin. The difference in height between the center and the surrounding flat land is over 10 meters. It's impossible to investigate without heavy equipment! If we want to find out what happened inside, it's not possible without heavy equipment."

Another person said: "But they're already starting to withdraw their excavation tools now, I think they're not going to investigate further." JrNovels.com
