The deputy commander paused for a second or two after hearing Demulan's order, then immediately began to direct the remaining Hafk soldiers to retreat. Although he didn't know what had just happened to Commander Demulan, since Commander Demulan had given the order, he only needed to do as he was told.

"Retreat! Everyone, begin to retreat."

When Patton, panting, brought the squads sent by Youssef to Reis, he found Reis grinning broadly and laughing heartily.

When Reese saw Patton and his Asara soldiers arriving, panting heavily, he smiled and said to Patton:

"Hahaha, damn Patton, do you know how right my strategy was this time? Hahaha, hey, luckily I had prepared a batch of anti-fog masks beforehand. When Demulan was coughing at those useless soldiers, I just shoved bullets into them. Hehehe, look at them, those useless Hafk soldiers are all about to slink away."

Patton: I... I was so scared I practically flew over to find these soldiers, and now I've brought them here, and you're telling me Demulan and the others have chosen to retreat? What am I then? The Joker?

However, Reiss didn't look at Patton, whose face had turned deathly pale. He turned around and began to give orders to several tactical squads to take the tank and go ahead to scout the situation. If that old sly Demulan wanted to launch a surprise attack, Reiss's side could quickly launch a counterattack.

Reis: Hehehe, as expected, when it comes to leading troops into battle, the Asara region simply has no rivals, hahaha.

"Lord Nares, these are the men Lord Yusef sent to support us..."

After calming his turbulent emotions, Barton found Reese, who was still bragging and being narcissistic, and asked him in a low voice.

"Oh, those guys? Here's what we'll do: Patton, you take a few more teams over here and start putting out the fire. Once things are completely quiet here, I'll send people to help you."

After hearing Reese's words, Barton also showed an expression of "I knew it." Sigh, he, a working man, really has no human rights. He had just rushed over with his men, panting, and now he was being asked to take his men back to put out the fire.

Barton: I really...sigh, how could I have been so blind to follow this Reese? Besides being rich and having good equipment...well, if I were to choose him now, I think I would still pick him.

"Yes, Lord Reis, I'll go select a few squads right now."

Patton could only nod and lead his men up the mountain to put out the fire.

Chapter 410 Extinguishing the Fire

"You squad leaders, take your teams and come with me. We're going to put out the fire."

Although Patton couldn't help but grumble about Reis's actions, his body still instinctively walked over to a group of Asara soldiers, called over several captains, and had them select soldiers from their ranks to go up the mountain with him to put out the fire.

Looking at the thick smoke that was constantly billowing around, Barton felt uncomfortable even with his mask on. After all, the visibility in Longbow Valley was extremely low. Even though the threat from Demulan was gone, putting out the wildfire was still quite dangerous.

"Do we have any fireproof suits or anything like that here? If so, take them and wear them. If not, go back and put on some long-sleeved clothes. Don't worry about the heat; you'll regret it if you get burned."

After inspecting the soldiers' equipment, Patton also pointed out that, in his view, extinguishing a wildfire of this size would be a very large undertaking.

He immediately called over the team leaders and had them take out their maps. After calculating the area currently burning, he drew a red warning line on the map.

"Do you see these places? Hurry up and take your teams to dig a firebreak around this location. There's no hope of putting out the wildfire now, and besides, we don't have much water in Asara."

Patton scratched his head in frustration, and couldn't help but mutter to himself about Reis's "clever" move. He was truly impressed. He wondered how many Asara soldiers would be sacrificed in this firefighting operation.

Barton: Sigh, there aren't many people here in Asara to begin with, especially in Longbow Valley, where there used to be quite a lot of people, but... sigh.

After assembling their respective teams, the team leaders began heading to their assigned areas to dig out firebreaks.

After completing all this, Barton came to Reiss again to report the situation, and also saw that the soldiers who had been sent to the front to scout the situation had all returned.

"Reporting to Boss Reis, Demulan and the others have already evacuated our Longbow Valley area."

Upon hearing this good news, Reis happily lit a cigar, but only when he put it to his lips did he remember that he was still wearing a fog mask.

Just as Reese took off his mask to take a puff, the pungent smoke immediately filled his nose and mouth.

Caught off guard, Reis coughed violently twice, then immediately put on his mask and extinguished the cigar he had just lit.

"Holy crap, it stinks so bad! How the hell am I supposed to sleep? Am I supposed to wear a mask or something? Hey, Barton, what were you trying to say?"

After putting his mask back on, Reese turned to look at Barton, who seemed to want to say something.

Barton reported his plan to Reese, but after he finished speaking, Reese said:

"What? You're planning to let these fires on the mountains go out naturally? Damn it, how long am I supposed to wait? I'm really disgusted. You guys... Sigh! Should we go ask Saeed for some water?"

Just as Reis was about to say that he wouldn't want such a stupid method, he remembered that there really wasn't much water in his Longbow Valley. But the next second, Reis thought of Said, who was guarding the dam.

"Lord Reis, if you want our entire Asara region to be without electricity, my advice is to forget about the water from Said. For now, this is the best solution."

Upon hearing this, Barton immediately dismissed Reese's dangerous idea. What a joke! If the water from the dam were used to put out a fire, where would Asara get its electricity? You know, Asara's electricity supply is basically all from Dam Zero.

"Oh, right, right. I was so anxious that I forgot. Now we can only do it the way you said. Go on, go on. Anyway, that old woman Demulan has already left with her people. You hurry up and tell these people to put out the fire. I want to get a good night's sleep tonight."

Patton: You think you can get a good night's sleep tonight? You must be dreaming. Judging from the current situation, this fire won't be extinguished for at least two days.

After speaking, Reese slowly began to walk towards the Diamond Queen Hotel, leaving a tired-looking Barton and a group of bewildered Asara soldiers standing there.

"Let's slowly drive those tanks and planes back first, don't let them crash on the way. Everyone else, come here, sigh... let me tell you again."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"Sayid, that's not very kind of you. You're already here, and you're just standing over with Xiao Hao watching the show. You don't even know how to pick a good spot to watch the drama unfold?"

Meanwhile, on the troop carrier, Said also hitched a ride back to Dam Zero. After getting on the vehicle, Roy and Weilong, two chatterboxes, started telling Said about what had happened.

"Hey, wait a minute, Lao Sai, Reis hasn't come to ask you for help yet? I thought he would come to you for help right away."

Roy also put a hand on Said's body and asked with a grin.

"Looking for me? Hmph, how could I possibly send anyone to help him? You know, sending people to put out such a huge wildfire is extremely dangerous. Besides, didn't you hear Demulan say that this wildfire was started by Reis himself? He brought it on himself. You know, these plants are quite precious here in Asara, and what did he do? He just burned them all down."

Sayed was also a little angry. He had been taking great care of his plants, but Reis had almost damaged his No. 0 Dam. How could Sayed tolerate this?

"Alright, we're here. You should go back and do your homework."

Chapter 411 Exchange of Interests

After throwing Said out of the car, the group drove back to the Special Operations Unit.

According to Deep Blue, this matter is not going to end so simply. You have to understand that a large part of Demulan's retreat was to ensure that the Hafk Group's forces were depleted.

Furthermore, the Longbow Valley area is actually Reis's stronghold. Even if they wanted to force their way in, Demulan wouldn't have much of an advantage. So even if Demulan chose to launch a strong attack, they probably wouldn't be able to take it. After all, the terrain of Reis's Longbow Valley is quite complex, and his men can easily ambush people in those unseen nooks and crannies.

As long as you, De Mulan, get into the fray and attack, all I need to do is have that Uzi sweep your legs like crazy.

"I'll also talk to those people upstairs about this mission. As for their next war... I don't think Demulan will keep us waiting too long. She's the kind of person who knows better than anyone how to strike while the iron is hot."

Shen Lan couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. Aside from something happening within their Hafk Group, Shen Lan really couldn't imagine how Reis could have escaped.

"In my opinion, that idiot Reis is just stupid and greedy. For this undeciphered Mandel Brick, for his own desires as a chimpanzee, how many lives have been lost? No wonder even the honest old farmer Said doesn't want to associate with him."

Uluru was also annoyed that he had failed to kill Reis this time. He couldn't understand how Reis could be so tough. He had even put Reis in this special incendiary loitering munition, but the guy was still alive.

The two desiccated corpses that Reis had previously blocked in front of: Don't say that, after all, the damage was quite good. Look at the two of us, we were both dehydrated by your incendiary bomb. Your incendiary loitering munition is quite something.

"Alright, we've arrived at the Special Operations Division. Let's not think about anything else for now. Let's follow the instructions from the higher-ups. After all, we still need to go to their space base to get our access cards."

As the infantry fighting vehicle was driven back to the Special Operations Unit, Zhang Hao and the others got out of the vehicle, stretched, and went back to find Said to continue eating melons.

However, when Zhang Hao dialed Said's number again, he found that Sofia answered the phone. Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Huh? Why did you answer the phone, Sister Sophia? Uncle Said, did he go out again?"

Sofia also gave Zhang Hao a brief explanation of their situation.

It turns out that after Said got out of the car and returned to his office, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Zhang Hao to get the card that could prove their identity from Reis.

Moreover, Reiss was currently under heavy attack from Demulan and desperately needed help. Immediately, Said called Reiss and, after a brief chat, didn't mince words and asked directly:

"Reis, I heard you have something that can prove identity to former members of the Asara royal family. To be honest, I also learned some information about our Prince Asara through Youssef (fabricated). I'm hoping to get this from you to help rescue our prince. What do you think..."

Upon hearing this, Reis's mind immediately began to calculate. When did Said ever care about information about these former members of the Asara royal family? Besides, how did that Yusef even know he had this card? So, he chuckled and asked in return:

"Haha, as expected of Brother Said, you are truly dedicated to restoring our Asara. But there's one thing I don't understand. Brother, what are you after by using this card to save Prince Asara?"

Reis couldn't help but wonder if Said also had the idea of ​​becoming king in Asara. However, after careful consideration, he immediately dismissed the idea. Adamson had recently posted on his WeChat Moments about how many lazy plants he had grown. He probably would never even think of becoming king.

Reese: Damn it, that brainless Saeed is perfect to be my henchman. He's got no brains anyway, so he just does whatever I say, which is perfect.

"Why? Isn't that prison still holding a lot of our Asara people? I'm afraid that when I try to rescue them, things will be chaotic and I won't be able to organize them. If I have this Prince Asara, won't all the Asara soldiers follow me?"

After hearing Said's seemingly naive and innocent statement, Reiss felt relieved. Just as he had thought, Said should just stick to being a general under his command. He already has Prince Asara under his control, and you're telling me it's just to better organize the Asara people to flee?

Regarding the possibility that Said might become smarter and try to deceive him, Reis confidently stated that it was impossible. His label for Said had never changed: honest, brainless, and just doing what he said.

Otherwise, how could he have given Saeed so much money, yet this fool's first instinct wasn't to arm himself, but instead to distribute that money to his subordinates?

Reis considered this behavior foolish. In his view, the people of Asara under his command were there to create value for him, but now they needed him, their leader, to give them something in return. In Reis's opinion, this was utterly absurd.

Reis: Damn it, if these guys were my soldiers, I'd rather not have them. Only the capable ones can get a scrap of food at my feet. The worthless ones can just become food. That's Asara now.

"Hehehe, good, Brother Said, you really have the world at heart. How about this, you bring some people here to help me put out this fire? I'll give you this card too."

Chapter 412 Taking the Card

As soon as Said heard this, he knew that Reis would not give him his card for nothing. Of course, Said had already prepared himself for Reis to refuse, since anyone with eyes could see that the value of this thing must be very extraordinary.

As expected, Reis immediately offered to bring his own people to help. Said could only say no problem, after all, this was something Xiao Hao needed. This time, Wuming would lead the team to help Reis put out the fire.

As for equipment, Sayed had our logistics supervisor, Abel, equip everyone with fireproof suits made by them. Although they were stuffy and uncomfortable to wear, it at least provided some protection for their safety.

Nameless: So, why did you make me, the one who likes to sneak around, lead the team this time? If you had told me earlier, I would have just gone to Longbow Valley under the cover of night and stolen it back for you. Did you have to make such a big fuss? (Mainly because Nameless didn't want to wear this heavy fireproof suit; in his opinion, it didn't suit his image at all.)

After listening to Sofia's story, Zhang Hao was quite moved. Uncle Said really was a good leader of the people. It seemed he really needed to go to the dam sometime to ask Sister Sofia to reduce the amount of homework Uncle Said assigned. After all, even someone as capable as himself didn't have to do homework every day anymore. (●ˇ?ˇ●)

Zhang Hao: Of course, it's entirely because I'm just too good at it. Even Sister Xiaowen doesn't bother with my math and English anymore.

Roy: Heh, if I hadn't seen you crawling to Deep Blue with snot and tears streaming down your face that day seeking refuge, I almost would have believed your nonsense. It's just that Said is pitiful because no one on the dam can control Sofia.

Meanwhile, Said, whom Sophia had mentioned, led a reluctant Nameless into the territory of Longbow Valley. Looking at the thick smoke around them, Nameless said that he really wanted to go back to his little home. Wasn't he just suffering here?

"Alright, stop giving me that sour look. All I asked you to do was lead a team to put out a fire, not to kill anyone. And you're still giving me that attitude? If you're not happy, let's have a go."

Anonymous: You've really redefined my understanding of shamelessness once again. You're really starting to exploit me, a member of the proletariat, aren't you? Next time, I'll have to tell the strategist the truth about this situation. So you're just using your little bit of power on me now, aren't you?

"When we get back, I'll give you a big chicken leg. If we can buy pig's trotters next month, I'll give you the meatier kind too. And you guys, go back and collect your money from Abel."

While Wuming was still inwardly grumbling about Said's immoral behavior, Said announced the rewards the next second.

Nameless: Hmph......................I'm not after those one or two chicken legs and pig's feet, but if you don't give them to me, I'll still go and have a good talk with the strategist.

Having appeased the troublemaker Wuming, Said sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do; this was the safest way to get the card that proved his identity. Said had previously considered having Wuming secretly steal the card from Reis if Reis refused to give him one.

However, that would be quite dangerous to take action. Not to mention that Reis's hotel has been upgraded to the Diamond Queen Hotel, which even I don't understand, if Wuming is discovered, I can't help but step in to protect him. This would completely sever my relationship with Reis.

Said: Sigh... This is really too much trouble. If Xiao Hao and the others go on this adventure... I really can't imagine what it will be like. But speaking of which, Xiao Hao seemed to have mentioned going to the space base before...
