This small flat ground at the foot of the mountain also has a unique name, marked on maps as "Wo Lai Ye." It's unclear whether it was named originally or by the Song family after the Mohe occupied the area.
I notified the eagle demon too late. She is still on her way from Fucheng. I planned to wait for her, have her scout the area first, and then proceed, ensuring everything is foolproof. Even if Song Wenzhi retaliates quickly, he wouldn't possibly mobilize a large force in broad daylight to come to the Chen family's place. He would have to wait until nightfall to make a move. Therefore, as long as we reach the Mohe headquarters before sunset, we should be fine.
Those buying nails, lime powder, and dogs returned one after another, all in sufficient quantities. Nails alone amounted to five hundred catties, and while the exact number is unknown, it must be well over ten thousand. Twenty bags of lime powder were purchased. Both the nails and lime powder were transported back by truck. Chen Lu was even more outrageous, bringing back all the large dogs from the breeding base, nearly a hundred of them, loaded onto two large trucks, barking incessantly. However, after a single command from Yao Yao, all the dogs fell silent, obediently coming out of their cages and forming a neat line, lying down in the courtyard.
I quickly explained to the Chen family, "Our Teacher Jin used to work at the zoo as an animal trainer, specializing in lions, tigers, and the like."
"Then what are the nails and lime for?" asked Chen Lu's mother.
Yao Yao didn't bother to explain. She gave me a look, and I had to ask Chen Lu's father, mother, and any onlookers to go to the villa's basement to rest and not come up unless necessary, to avoid being bitten by the dogs. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The eagle demon arrived. After I briefed her on the reconnaissance mission, she set off. With a mobile phone tied to her claws and navigation engaged, she flew towards Sipíng.
The weapons forged for the demons by the Jinqiangmen were not yet ready. However, Helan Xue provided us with support. She had contacted the Siping Shakespeare department and arranged to meet us at the highway exit, where they would lend us some equipment. Moreover, we were only planning a surprise raid this time, and a large-scale battle was not anticipated. The absence of weapons was therefore inconsequential, and having them was primarily to enhance the surprise effect and success rate.
After arranging everything, I, along with the seven demons, drove our Jiangling Ford Transit van, following the eagle demon, towards Sipíng.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, we exited the highway and were intercepted by local Shakespeare personnel. Under the guise of an inspection, they secretly placed a very long travel case into our vehicle. After the "inspection," we continued on our way. I asked the demons to open it and see what weapons they were. Judging by the length, I thought they were semi-automatic rifles or something similar. To my surprise, they were ten identical steel knives.
Fine, as far as the demons were concerned, the power of these things was comparable to rifles.
Being Shakespeare products, the quality of the steel knives should be excellent. I noticed the demons were quite fond of them.
Just as we were about to enter Sipíng city, a dark shadow covered the front of the car from above. I didn't stop, but opened the sunroof. As the eagle demon flew in, she transformed into a human and sat in the seat behind me, reporting on the vineyard's situation. The guard force was small, about twenty individuals, and they didn't seem to be experts – all were equipped with handguns. Normally, experts would disdain to use firearms; they were likely just ordinary guards.
Inside the villa, there were three individuals who appeared to be major figures, their strength unknown. The rest were women: servants, nannies, and a female cook.
"They all look quite attractive," the eagle demon said with a suggestive smile, having likely guessed the "extra" uses of these female staff.
Half an hour later, our car drove through the city, turned a corner, and arrived at the back of Broken Head Mountain.
We would definitely attack from the rear. The front was a vast expanse of vineyards and water, clearly visible from the observation tower within the estate.
I drove the car into a patch of woods, cut down some branches, camouflaged it simply, and then led the demons up the mountain.
Broken Head Mountain. The side we were climbing was the "broken" side. The shape of the summit resembled a cleaver. The sheer vertical cliff was nearly a hundred meters high, and its "cleaver" shape was discernible even from tens of kilometers away.
The eagle demon flew to the summit first. After confirming that the Mohe had not set up defenses on this side of the mountain, we began to scale the cliff face.
