Chapter 219: Liberating the Three Dogs
Chapter 219: Liberating the Three Dogs
Arriving at the end of the passage, Alpha made a gesture and everyone stopped. He carefully poked his head out and observed the enemy's camp. As he expected, the three-headed dog camp was heavily guarded, with high walls and sharp wooden stakes, dense guard patrols, and combat equipment in every corner.
The key point is that at the end of the deep well, there are only more than ten cables connecting the upper and lower parts. Even if you occupy the end of the passage, you cannot attack the enemy's camp.
"It seems that a strong attack is not a wise choice." Alpha thought to himself. He turned around and saw the trusting and expectant eyes of his companions, and knew that he had to come up with a plan.
"Let's go back first. We need to consider everything carefully." Alpha whispered to his comrade beside him.
Alpha led the team to retreat carefully to a safe place. They needed to reassess the situation and make a new plan. Back at the temporary camp in Graystone Mountain, Alpha called all his comrades and advisers to hold a meeting to discuss the next strategy.
After research by Beatrice and others, Graystone Mountain was confirmed to be a large chalcocite mine, but Alpha continued to call it Graystone Mountain to conceal its true identity. At the same time, Beatrice's exploration team also discovered other minerals in the surrounding area, but it would take time to confirm.
"A direct attack is unlikely to succeed," Alpha said in a firm and low voice, standing in front of everyone. "We need a more subtle plan."
A young strategist stood up. He was a rising star in the team, named Cel, and he had come up with several very effective tactics before. "Lord Alpha, I have observed that although the enemy camp is strong, it relies on deep wells for water supply, which is their weakness. If we can cut off their water supply and cause the enemy to fall into confusion, we may be able to launch an attack when they are looking for a new water source."
Alpha nodded, and Sayre's idea coincided with his. "The water source has turned into seawater, and the enemy's water supply will be destroyed. The rest is just a matter of time." Alpha didn't want to rush for success, as the loss would be too great.
"Now that we have occupied their supply source, we can deliver the poison when the enemy provides supplies. However, the poison needs to be slow-acting, and they have to eat it all." Sail's mind is very flexible, and his confidence increased greatly after getting Alpha's affirmation.
"Okay, I will ask the Logistics and Technology Department to provide the medicine." Alpha agreed with the idea.
"Kunshan, you have to be careful that the enemy may become desperate, and you must stop them from breaking out. Monkey, you have to control the enemy from obtaining information and supplies from the outside. You two will be on guard, one inside and one outside, and you must not let your guard down." Alpha's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
In the following days, Alpha and his team began to closely monitor and prepare. Kunshan and Monkey led their teams respectively to ensure that all enemy movements were completely blocked.
Kunshan's sturdy body is like a wall, firmly blocking the enemy, while the monkey's agility and wit perfectly block all the enemy's information flow and external connections.
At the same time, the Logistics and Technology Department, under the leadership of Fayana, quickly developed a chronic poison. This poison is colorless and tasteless, easily soluble in water, and has a slow onset of effect, making it difficult to be discovered immediately.
After everything was ready, the poison was secretly put into the enemy's water source. As expected, the enemy troops, without water, began to lose strength and morale. Sayre's plan was perfectly executed, and Alpha's patience and strategy once again proved to be wise.
As time went on, the enemy's situation became worse and worse. They tried to break out, but were firmly blocked by the defense team led by Kunshan. They tried to seek external help, but every messenger seeking help was intercepted by monkeys. The enemy began to split and panic.
"Bealis, why are you standing outside the door? What happened?" Alpha was confused when he saw Beatrice standing outside the door alone. He stood up, walked towards her quickly, and then hugged the woman's delicate body tightly in his arms.
"Lord Alpha, please don't do this. There are people watching outside. I do have something important to discuss with you." Beatrice struggled slightly, a blush on her face, but was eventually dragged into the house by Alpha.
After making love, Alpha lay on the bed, gently stroking Beatrice's hair, and then asked softly: "Okay, my baby, now you can tell me what happened?"
Beatrice lay on Alpha's chest and said softly, "We found a mine that looks like Sky Stone ten kilometers away from here, but we can't be 100% sure it's Sky Stone, and we don't have the technology to refine Sky Stone."
When Alpha heard the word "Sky Stone", he immediately became interested. He recalled his previous conversation with Argunas, when they talked about the Angel Knights' equipment Angel Wings being forced to find a substitute due to the shortage of Sky Stone. Unexpectedly, a possible Sky Stone mine was discovered in this place.
"Yes, it is the equipment material for Angel Wings. I have seen related records in books, but this is confidential information and it is impossible for the outside world to know it." Beatrice only has a rough knowledge in this area.
"Well, I happen to have some materials for Angel Wings equipment. I'll show them to you when I get back." Alpha was secretly happy, thinking that this might be an important discovery.
"I want to go back now." Beatrice was impatient and she couldn't wait to confirm the identity of these minerals.
"No, you just promised to stay with me." Alpha certainly wouldn't let Beatrice leave so easily.
"Then I'll have someone send the relevant information over." Seeing Beatrice's anxious look, Alpha chose a compromise.
After a joyful frolic, Alpha finally let go, giving Beatrice a chance to sort out her clothes. "Well, since you're so anxious, I'll let you go for now. But you have to send the information as soon as possible." Alpha said with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Beatrice smiled softly, quickly put on her clothes, and hurried to the door. "Don't worry, Master Alpha, I won't keep you waiting for long." Her voice was firm.
Not long after, Beatrice sent someone to deliver detailed information about the discovery of the mine. Alpha sat at the table, concentrating on studying the documents. From the map and exploration report, he clearly realized that this mine was unusual, and its location was extremely hidden. It would be difficult to find it if it was not deliberately searched. However, these mines were very close to the three-headed dog fortress, which meant that Alpha had to speed up the pace of capturing the enemy's stronghold.
A few days later, Beatrice brought some carefully selected samples to Graystone's laboratory. Together, they compared these samples with the equipment materials of the German Empire Angel Knights and conducted a series of rigorous tests.
"This is undoubtedly Sky Stone, and it is exactly the same material as the equipment of Angel Wings!" Beatrice said excitedly.
"This is truly a significant discovery." Alpha responded with a smile, but then he frowned. "However, we must also be careful. Such a discovery will definitely attract a lot of attention, including from people with bad intentions."
Beatrice nodded in agreement. She knew that this discovery would have a crucial impact on the future development of Greystone Mountain. "We must keep it a secret and develop the extraction technology as quickly as possible. Once we master this technology, we will be able to produce Angel Wings equipment on our own."
"Yes, this will be a huge leap forward for our strength." Alpha could not hide his excitement, his eyes flashing with determination, "I will start planning immediately to ensure that our miners and researchers can work safely."
In the following weeks, Alpha went all out to strengthen supervision and management of the mine. He worked closely with the miners, carefully studied the geological structure, and drew up detailed mining plans. At the same time, he communicated closely with the researchers to explore how to make the most of the newly discovered ore. The new Angel equipment drawings provided by Alpha became the key. They continued to improve the mining and refining process, introducing advanced technology and equipment to make the entire operation more efficient and safer.
After unremitting efforts and teamwork, they finally succeeded in making the first set of equipment using the new ore. The performance of this set of equipment is amazing. Not only is it comparable to the Angel Wings, but it has also been innovated and improved in some aspects to make it more suitable for Alpha's team needs. Alpha stared at the brand new equipment, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.
"We did it, Beatrice," he said, his voice thick with pride.
"Yes, this is the result of our joint efforts." Beatrice also felt extremely proud.
However, there was a hint of regret in Beatrice's words: "It's just that this is a laboratory product and cannot be mass-produced. Otherwise, it would definitely greatly enhance our strength."
Alpha understood the limitations, but he was not discouraged. He knew that more conditions and resources were needed to achieve large-scale production. At present, they need to continue to work hard and gradually solve the challenges they face. He said firmly: "It's okay. When the conditions are ripe, we will be able to achieve mass production. Now, my mission is to capture the three-headed dog and pave the way for our future. And you continue to explore this area. I believe there are more treasures waiting for us to discover."
Alpha knows that the Bess Mountains have great potential and there may be more undiscovered precious resources hidden here. He believes that as long as he perseveres, he will definitely give everyone a huge surprise.
In a barren land, Lord Alpha was sitting in the tactical room, frowning, listening carefully to the latest intelligence brought by the monkey. The monkey had just captured a few escaped bandits and learned from them about the chaotic situation above the enemy camp.
In order to fight for a sip of water, people in the village actually fought each other, and even drank human blood. Many people could not stand such a desperate situation, some chose to commit suicide, while others tried to escape.
Alpha's mood became heavier, and he knew that this was a critical turning point. He stood up and said to the monkey with a firm gaze: "We must act quickly and not let more people lose their lives. These people are our future laborers, and we must save them." The former Alpha may have been the ignorant boy who had just traveled through time, kind and generous, but now he has become cold-blooded, ruthless, and extremely purposeful.
The monkey took the order and quickly conveyed Alpha's order. Alpha also began to work on a detailed attack plan. Their goal was clear: to strike quickly and decisively, to take down the enemy camp with minimal casualties, and at the same time to rescue the innocent people and future miners who were still trapped in the enemy camp.
After the enemy's water supply was completely cut off, especially after two resupply operations, a large amount of chronic poison entered the mountain stronghold. The enemy fell into extreme despair and confusion, and as the monkey reported, their morale had collapsed, and their defense and fighting will were almost gone.
A few hours later, the night fell and the stars were sparse. Alpha led his elite team and approached the enemy camp silently. The darkness of the night sky provided them with perfect cover.
"Remember, our goal is to rescue, not to kill." Alpha whispered to the team members around him, and the team members nodded to show that they understood.
Under Alpha's decisive command, the special forces began to climb the high wall as swiftly as a cheetah. They were agile and climbed up the 100-meter-high cliff at an astonishing speed, as if they were walking on flat ground. The enemy was obviously exhausted and desperate, and could hardly organize any effective resistance.
After entering the enemy camp, Alpha and his team quickly took control of the enemy's barracks and warehouses. They organized the personnel in an orderly manner, gathered the wounded and sick, and carried out simple and efficient rescue work. In the place where innocent people were imprisoned, they found that many people were already dying and were barely breathing.
