"Commander Zhan Biao, you must understand that King Your Majesty also holds a portion of the shares in Liu Kai Xuan's oil fields!"
"The Imperial Army's garrison is less than 10 kilometers away from the oil fields!"
"Furthermore, the armored brigade of the Imperial Army is stationed next to the oil fields, possessing extremely strong combat power!"
"If the Imperial Army intervenes, do you think we can win?"
Zhan Biao retorted, "Now that Liu Kai Xuan has killed Lord Makeng, even the King has chosen to turn a blind eye!"
"Doesn't this prove the King's attitude? He will not interfere in the conflicts between us!"
"You are mistaken!"
Fei Ao shook his head again and refused, "In fact, His Majesty the King has already begun to interfere in this matter!"
"The King has dispatched an investigation team and is currently working hard to gather evidence and investigate the assassination of Grand Duke Makeng!"
"The reason why Liu Kai Xuan is still at large now is that none of us have found any evidence!"
"Without evidence, even the King cannot arbitrarily deal with Liu Kai Xuan!"
"But!"
Saying this, Fei Ao's tone shifted: "If we openly attack the oil fields, it will definitely not go unnoticed!"
"Therefore, it is best for us to consider this matter in the long term!"
Zhan Biao immediately became furious, "Fei Ao, you coward, I think you are clearly a turtle!"
"Brother Zha Lai treated you like a brother, and now he is barely cold in his grave, and you are not thinking of avenging him, but spewing so much nonsense!"
"I will shoot you, you coward..." As he spoke, Zhan Biao reached for the gun at his waist.
"Bang, bang..."
At the same time, the two adjutants sitting next to Fei Ao had already acted preemptively, shooting Zhan Biao on the spot.
With several shots fired, Zhan Biao's body fell to the ground, completely losing the ability to resist.
Fei Ao strode forward and stepped on Zhan Biao's neck.
"You dog, I've given you too much leeway!"
"Bang, bang!"
As he spoke, Fei Ao raised his gun and fired two more shots into the back of Zhan Biao's head.
Fei Ao's cruel act terrified the generals present.
At this moment, Fei Ao called his subordinates to carry Zhan Biao's body out.
After the body was carried away, Fei Ao's face finally broke into a smile.
"Brothers, don't be nervous, I haven't forgotten Brother Zha Lai's revenge!"
"But right now, our 75th Brigade is in a very precarious situation!"
"Forces from all over the country, and even from neighboring countries, are focusing their attention on us!"
"Any mistake we make at this time will be fatal!"
"The Kai Xuan oil fields have 10% of His Majesty the King's shares; you all know whether we can touch them!"
"I'll say this here: if any of you brothers want to avenge our大哥 and attack the Kai Xuan oil fields, I will not stop you!"
"However, I will also absolutely not issue such a dangerous order to you!"
Fei Ao continued, "My intention is that we remain silent for now!"
"No matter how Liu Kai Xuan taunts us, we just ignore him!"
"In this world, ultimately, power is what matters; whoever has the bigger fist calls the shots!"
"The Kai Xuan oil fields are the King's property, we cannot touch them!"
"But if Liu Kai Xuan is foolish enough to deliver himself to us, I wouldn't mind sending him on his way!"
"Didn't Liu Kai Xuan say he would give us a seven-day deadline?"
"I'd like to see what he can do to us after seven days!"
"Hahahaha..." As Fei Ao said this, the generals in the meeting room burst into laughter.
It had to be said that Fei Ao's approach was the most effective strategy under the current circumstances.
Liu Kai Xuan had only a little over 100 men under his command, and they had suffered extremely heavy losses in the last battle.
After resting for less than a month, even if Liu Kai Xuan's guard force was expanded to a battalion, so what?
What was there to fear from a battalion of raw recruits?
Could a battalion of light infantry possibly defeat an entire regular brigade of the 75th Brigade?
Anyone with even a modicum of military knowledge knew that such a thing was impossible!
...
On the other side, Liu Kai Xuan was not waiting passively. Instead, he summoned all members of his elite squad.
The elite squad only had 20 members, a force so small that it was pathetic compared to a full brigade of the 75th Brigade.
Ouyang Xue, mustering her courage, found Liu Kai Xuan on the training ground.
"Boss, you really can't continue to be so reckless! This is too dangerous!"
"Now, various factions within the empire have actively extended olive branches to us, and our transportation channels have been opened!"
"For the time being, even the pirates lurking in the gulf dare not provoke us!"
"At this time, provoking the Imperial Army again is truly unwise!"
Liu Kai Xuan said loudly, "Ouyang Xue, aren't you meddling too much?"
"Didn't I tell you to just take care of your own work?"
"Those thugs in the Imperial Army will not surrender so easily. My plan must be carried through to the end!"
"I... alas!"
Ouyang Xue sighed and could only leave helplessly.
Up to this point, even Ouyang Xue was beginning to think Liu Kai Xuan was a madman.
However, the core power of the mine was still under Liu Kai Xuan's control.
Ouyang Xue herself could only follow Liu Kai Xuan's wishes.
...
Liu Kai Xuan was not joking. When the agreed-upon seven-day deadline arrived.
Liu Kai Xuan personally led his 500 men and openly went to the 75th Brigade to "seek justice."
Unfortunately, Liu Kai Xuan's convoy was intercepted by the Imperial Guard less than five kilometers from the mine.
The one who truly came to stop Liu Kai Xuan was King Kaiyadun!
Kaiyadun made a grand appearance today, bringing his "royal carriage."
It was a golden, luxurious carriage pulled by 12 white horses, looking majestic and dignified as it traveled on the broad road.
The King personally alighted from the carriage and met Liu Kai Xuan on an open plain.
Accompanying the King was Fei Ao, the brigade commander of the 75th Brigade.
Kaiyadun said, "Count Kai Xuan, why are you still so impulsive!"
"The grievances between you and the 75th Brigade are, in essence, just a misunderstanding!"
"General Fei Ao has already explained the situation to me. The instigator of that incident was Zha Lai!"
"At that time, General Fei Ao had also tried his best to dissuade Zha Lai from doing such a foolish thing!"
"But Zha Lai was determined and did not listen to advice; General Fei Ao found it difficult to restrain him!"
