Chapter 998: Interrogation Chronicles

Just as the pursuit of the true culprits on Luo City’s side was in full swing, a sudden news shocked everyone.

At this time, the Wang Clan recalled all males under the age of thirty who had served in the military from within their own barriers, and then suddenly waged an all-out war against the Kong Clan and Fire Seed.

The Kong Clan had already existed in name only, and the original bureaucracy and bigwigs of the Kong Clan Consortium had long since taken refuge in the easternmost coastal barriers, even abandoning the dozen or so barriers they had originally held.

Those barriers had been in an unmanaged situation for the past few months, with a large number of residents fleeing southward, while the barriers were being pillaged by outlaws, and whoever had a gun in their hand had the right to speak.

At this time, Wang had no difficulty in occupying most of Kong’s barriers.

On the other hand, on the Spark’s side, because of the war that the North was conducting with the Expeditionary Corps, only two of the original twelve main forces were now left.

If Wang Clan had planned to unify the entire Wall Alliance from early on, then I’m afraid that now is the best time for them to annex the other consortia.

Moreover, Wang’s universal military service policy played a great role at this time.

The same was true for fighting against the Northern Expeditionary Corps like Fireseed, with a large loss of soldiers, but Wang Clan was able to quickly replenish their army with fresh blood.

Only, the focus of ordinary people’s discussion about this war was more about whether everyone should take advantage of the fire and fall on their own sword now that they had just fought back the foreign enemy.

You should know that the Fire Seed had made a deadly effort against the Expeditionary Corps, so isn’t it a bit unkind of you, Wang, to rush into action now.

However, they also knew that they could not change the will of the consortium with these discussions, and Wang didn’t care what they thought of them.

As the saying goes, if one day Wang Clan could really complete the unification of the Barrier Alliance, then history would also be written by them.

Everyone knew that the Fire Seed and Kong Clan no longer had the power to resist the Wang Clan, and after this battle, the only one left in the Central Plains who could fight against the Wang Clan was the Zhou Clan.

However, only the top brass within the Wang Clan knew that the Zhou Clan, who they originally needed to worry about, was now afraid that they would not be able to take care of themselves.

Just as the Wang Clan sent troops to the Kong Clan and the Fire Seed, the Zhou Clan suddenly began a large-scale mobilization of their main forces.

When outsiders learned of this news, they initially thought that Zhou was trying to prepare for Wang’s forces to move south, after all, the movement of the main forces this time was so great that it looked as if they were responding to an all-out war.

Among them, Zhou’s First and Third Divisions had moved north, and they had originally been stationed in the south.

However, after two days everyone realized that these Zhou’s main forces didn’t seem to be rushing to the northern front, judging from their movement trajectory, they were actually heading to the Zhou’s political center, Barrier 73.

This made many people who wanted to sell intelligence confused, what were so many main forces going to Barrier 73 for?

It should be known that Barrier 73 was located in the center of Zhou’s region, even if Wang Clan fought over, it wouldn’t be possible for them to hit here directly in one breath, right?

Could it be that Zhou was planning to give up the six barriers north of 73?

Right at this moment, an article titled Interrogation Chronicle was published in the Hope Media newspaper.

Within it, it recorded in detail how the Xiqing Clan and the Northwest Army had surrounded the killers within Luo City, how they had lined up spies, if they had analyzed the surveillance footage, how they had captured the corrupt and bribe-taking officials, and how they had captured the mastermind behind the scenes, Luo Zongren (whose real name was Yang Yenbang).

Inside this interrogation documentary, the assassination of Jiang Xu was recorded before and after, it is clear that Hope Media has been authorized by Ren Xiaosu, and even has a special person to provide them with the information to write the article.

Within the interrogation chronicle, there was even the torture process, although many of the bloody accounts were omitted, but in the end, how Luo Zongren pointed the finger at Wang, and how he was dismantled, were also recorded in the article.

This was the first time that Hope Media published such an article, and the readers of Hope Media were all excited when they read the article.

This was probably the first time that readers witnessed a real spy fight.

In the past, no newspaper had ever dared to report on this kind of thing because it would involve a bloody struggle between the powers of the consortiums, and no consortium would allow such an article to come out.

Moreover, although there were literary works related to the spy struggle in the past, those were mostly the imagination of the directors and authors themselves, which were not as real as this interrogation documentary.

However, the real focus of this interrogation documentary is that it points out the real murderer of Jiang Xu: Zhou.

Just when everyone thought that Wang had killed Jiang Xu, Hope Media announced the identity of the real murderer in a front-page headline, Zhou’s aim was to make everyone angry at Wang, and even to divide Wang’s internal forces.

For a while, many young people in Zhou’s barricade took to the streets in protest, and before that Zhou’s spokesperson even held a press conference to condemn Wang’s murder of Jiang Xu.

At that time, there were still many young people who supported Zhou for being so tough and appreciated Zhou for daring to accuse Wang at this time.

But now they realized that they had been deceived, and it turned out that this was actually Zhou’s doing.

Hope Media’s reputation was unquestionable, and those reporters and editors had used the trust they had accumulated over so many years, generation after generation, so that no one in the public who saw the newspaper questioned its authenticity.

At this time, many intelligence dealers reacted, it turned out that Zhou’s mobilization of troops was not to prevent Wang, but to prevent someone’s retaliation!

Who this someone was, those who played with intelligence knew very well.

It’s just that they couldn’t figure out if Zhou had mobilized so much as to?

The Northwest was so far away from Zhou, and in the previous incident of the Luo City search, it could also be seen that the Northwest did not have many intelligence officers lurking in the Central Plains.

Moreover, Luo Zongren was killed on the spot by the residents of Luocheng in the demonstration, and after that, all the Northwest intelligence personnel have gone away ah.

So even if that young marshal was more powerful, he couldn’t possibly fight against Zhou’s main force single-handedly, right?

The intelligence dealers always felt that Zhou seemed to be making a bit of a fuss, after all, Zhou you are a consortium ah, and the other party looked like they were only one person.

However, they soon all rushed towards Barrier 73, everyone felt that that Major would definitely go to Barrier 73, this sight of a single person hostile to an entire consortium, I’m afraid I might not be able to see it once in a lifetime.

Just as everyone’s gazes shifted towards Zhou, in the Sacred Mountain Range in the north, which had been abandoned by Fireseed, a troop consisting of more than 2,000 people was advancing into the middle of the mountain range.

After the battle at the Sacred Mountain, this place was deserted, and even Fireseed’s own troops had all been evacuated.

At this moment, no one knew what exactly this troop was doing in the Sacred Mountain.
