Reese frowned as he looked at Barton kneeling before him, and after taking a puff of his cigar, he said with some confusion:

"Stop kneeling there and get me the latest casualty statistics. I want to see exactly how many people were lost. Did you record the tanks and stuff? Bring them all over."

After hearing this, Barton looked at Boss Reis in disbelief. Boss Reis wanted to come and see for himself the mess he had made... the losses of the operation? This was truly a miracle. Could it be that kneeling and pleading with Boss Reis would actually do no good?

Barton: If that's really the case, then I can kneel down more often when I have nothing to do. Anyway, the office of Boss Reese is covered with cashmere carpets, so kneeling doesn't hurt much.

Barton immediately stood up and ran back to bring all the post-war statistical tables and documents to Reis's office, placing them in front of Reis. He then began to personally explain the current situation of Longbow Valley to Reis based on the tables.

After listening to Barton's long-winded explanation, Reiss, who had always believed that his Longbow Valley was still militarily strong, finally understood the current situation on his side. It seemed that things weren't looking too good for his people.

Attacking small villages is no problem, but even if Said wanted to attack him now, he could only stay in Longbow Valley and rely on the number of planes and tanks and the advanced technology provided by the United States to defend himself.

But if you say that Longbow Valley can still pose the same threat to Said's Zero Dam as before, that would be a joke, since they only have enough people left to defend their home base.

"Damn it~~~ What the hell is going on now? Where are all my men? Did they all run away?"

Looking at the table in front of him showing the number of casualties, Reis couldn't help but scratch his head. This won't do without people. He still has a lot of brilliant ideas that need to be implemented with people. And now you're telling me that there's no one in such a big valley as Longbow Valley?

"Boss Reis, ever since we got involved with that Mandel brick, we've been fighting non-stop, and our men are being worn down in these constant battles."

"Damn it, I couldn't stop that brute Said back then. He just blew up all the remaining Hamk members. If they hadn't been blown up, they could have been put to good use."

Barton: Uh... If my eyes hadn't gone blind back then, it seems like you, Boss Reese, were the one who killed the most. You could spray a whole bunch of snipers at once.

"Damn it, Patton, you better come up with something right now! This can't go on like this! I'm stuck here in Longbow Valley and can't expand. What kind of situation is this? I'm supposed to unify the whole of Asara! Damn it, I was planning to take down Yusuf, but now that there's no one here, how am I supposed to do it?"

Reese lit another cigar, took a deep drag, and then turned to look at Barton.

"Um... Boss Reis, actually I think you could really learn a lot from Commander Said when it comes to recruiting people. It's not that you can't recruit people with your charm, but Boss Reis, haven't you noticed that Said's side is constantly growing? And I also recruited quite a few people from his dam back then."

Upon hearing the name Barton mentioned, Reese thought of Said, who possessed extraordinary skills but was instead farming on the dam, and smiled disdainfully, retorting:

“Learn from him? Me, go and learn from that guy who only knows how to farm? Damn it, do you expect me to lead the way in farming? After Saeed helped me take down that idiot Hamk, all his previous arrogance disappeared.”

Reis was also very disdainful of Said's behavior of staying at home and farming. He had such good skills, but instead of causing trouble for Hafk, he just spent his days farming in his dam.

Saeed: What did I do to offend you by planting some crops? Don't eat anything I grow in the future.

Chapter 556 I need soldiers!

“Well… Boss Reis, actually I think that Said’s model can indeed attract a lot of people from Asara who are scattered outside.”

Barton hadn't expected that Reese would have such a strong opinion about Commander Sayed on this matter. In his view, Commander Sayed's approach was actually the easiest way to win people's hearts.

"Boss Reis, let me analyze this first. The people of Asara are already tired of war. It's no longer realistic for us to attract them with the slogan of defending their homeland. What they need most now is a place where they can live a stable life."

"Isn't my Longbow Valley stable enough? The gold here could crush those people to death, okay?"

Facing Reis, who was still thinking he could attract people by spending money, Barton couldn't help but show a bitter face. He had just told him that now the people of Asara knew that having money was useless, and having the life to spend it was the real truth.

"Boss Reis, I have another idea, but I don't know if you can accept it."

"Tell me your thoughts first, and I'll decide after I hear them."

When Reese heard Barton say he had a solution, he urged him to speak up. As Asara's most respectful leader, he naturally wanted to hear it.

"Here's the thing, Boss Reis. Didn't we reclaim the area around Hamk's castle? I think we can give half of it to Said and his men to farm, but the price is that Said has to give one-third of his troops. That's the fastest way to get troops right now."

"You... I, Reis, when I took down that Hamk with Said, we divided the spoils. He got all the resources and weapons, and I got the land. Now you want me to give up the land again just to ask him for people back?"

Seeing that Reese was starting to get agitated, Barton quickly went over to calm him down:

"Calm down, boss. At this time, you really need a large number of troops. This is the best way. Of course, you can also talk to Youssef, but I think... it's unlikely that Youssef will lend us any troops."

Reis was incredibly frustrated upon hearing this. When did he start trying to trade land for people? If it were the old Reis, he would have simply snatched people from their places.

Now, he has to exchange things for what he wants, which makes Reis, who is used to being arrogant and domineering, feel extremely frustrated.

"I... I'll go find Said first and see if he can lend me some people."

Reis immediately picked up the phone and dialed Said. A few seconds later, the call was answered.

"Hey Reis, what's up?"

Said, on the other end of the phone, asked directly. Although he had already guessed what Reis wanted from him, Said still asked in a puzzled tone.

"Haha, brother Said, things should be going well over at your dam, right? Um... I need your help, brother."

When Said heard Reis say this, he immediately refused. What a joke! Those are all his people, okay? He said he was lending them to Reis, but they probably wouldn't come back.

Said: Those are all our dam's compatriots! You Reis don't love your people, but I will. There's a reason why Longbow Valley is almost deserted. I, Said, will not send my men to die there!

"Reis, you want to borrow some people from me, right? Unfortunately, Yusef called me a couple of days ago and specifically told me not to lend you any people, otherwise he would cut off my supplies in the coming days. So I'm sorry, but if you want me to send someone to help you repair your house or something, that's still possible."

Said didn't hesitate to bring up Yusef. This idea was something Sofia had mentioned to him before. Although Said didn't understand Sofia's meaning at the time, now Said just wanted to say, "It's really good!"

Said gave Sofia a thumbs up, and Sofia, seeing it, immediately recognized who was on the other end of the phone and returned Said's smile.

"This... Brother Said, can't we really discuss this again? I can give you the supplies too, I don't need too much, how about a quarter of a third?"

Upon hearing this, Reis was also drawn to Yusef by Said's words about Yusef, and upon closer examination, it did indeed seem quite reasonable.

Thinking back to the last time he had shown off his strength to Yousef, Yousef saw his ample money, equipment, and weapons, so naturally he wouldn't treat him like one of his underlings anymore.

Furthermore, since he had inquired about the whereabouts of the Raven from him, a clever man like Yusef could not possibly be unaware of his ambitions. Therefore, it was understandable that Said was threatened by him and refused to provide support.

"I'm sorry, Reis. If that were to happen, it wouldn't just be a matter of cutting off equipment supplies. In that case, I would be completely disrespecting Youssef. I'm just trying to find a balance in this situation."

Said turned on the speakerphone and read from the paper Sophia had written. If it were him, he would have simply refused, but Sophia's actions completely shifted the focus to Yousef.

"But... I can also give you a suggestion that might help you recruit some people."

Just as Reis was about to hang up and yell at someone in anger, Said said he had a solution. Upon hearing this, Reis immediately asked:

"What method? Brother Said, if you can really find someone for me, you'll really do me a big favor."

Barton, standing to the side: He was looking down on people just now. Sigh, I didn't expect even Boss Reese to be so good at changing his tune now.

"Simple, just go to the Tide Prison and get Prince Asara out."

Chapter 557 I'm getting involved too!

"What? Wait a minute, Saeed, are you saying I just need to rescue Prince Asara? What does that have to do with recruiting people?"

After hearing Said's suggestion, Reis was completely confused. It seemed that few people on Asara's side cared about the original Prince Asara anymore, even though he was indeed going to go there to rescue him.

Meanwhile, Said looked at Sofia, who was still diligently writing in front of him, with a bewildered expression. How could he know that, in his opinion, it would be better to let Reis take the lead in farming like himself, so that the people of Asara would feel that there was hope for their lives, and naturally others would follow suit.

"Wait a minute, let me organize my thoughts."

Seeing that Sofia hadn't finished writing yet, Said told Reese to wait there. He figured he couldn't come up with anything himself, so he might as well just wait for Sofia to do it.

After Sofia finished writing, Said took it and read it aloud:

"Prince Asara may seem to have no followers outside, but that's because his real followers are all... imprisoned in the Tide Prison?"

After saying this, Said stared wide-eyed at Sophia. How come he didn't know about this? Was it really true? It wouldn't be good if he ended up lying to her.

Sophia rolled her eyes at Said's shocked expression. This guy didn't listen properly when Xiao Hao and Roy came last time. Xiao Hao was the one who said those things at the dinner table, okay? All Said did was try to steal food from the other two.

After seeing Sophia nod to him to indicate that the information was correct, Said continued, "..."

"Besides, weren't Asara's royal family members all driven to flee by that Yusef guy? If you rescue Prince Asara, wouldn't you be able to lead his followers and put them in a fighting chance against Yusef?"

Upon hearing this, Reis immediately began to analyze the situation. If what Said said was true, then it was indeed a very good plan, especially since he was planning to go to the Tide Prison to rescue the prince.

"Brother Saeed, where did you get this information? Is it genuine?"

Reis was also curious about where Said got the information. Even he himself didn't know this information. Where did Said, who only knew that Said was growing vegetables in the dam, get it from?

Said looked at Sofia again. Sofia sighed and silently wrote the three words "Yousef" on the paper in front of Said. This idiot, how many blames has Yousef taken for him before? Doesn't he know to make him take the blame for one more?

Yusuf: Achoo (sniffs), I have a bad feeling. Could it be that Reis is up to something again and trying to drag me into it? No, no, I have to tell Said. He can't go and cause trouble with that brainless Reis. One Reis is enough. If another one comes, Asara will be completely finished.

"Yousef... Hahaha, well then I'll thank you in advance, brother. If this news is all right, I'll go and make some preparations. That's all for now, I'll hang up."

After finishing his sentence, Reis hung up the phone immediately. Since Yousef wouldn't let Said lend his people, it was already quite generous of Said to give him so much information.

At the same time, Reis couldn't help but wonder what Yusef was thinking. Reis was quite disdainful of Yusef's idea of ​​becoming the new king of Asara like himself. Not to mention anything else, Reis's wealth and military strength were already far superior to Yusef's.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm currently short-handed, I would have led my team to take down Yousef directly. What kind of person is he, daring to compete with me for the position of the new king of Asara?

"It seems that Yusuf also has some interest in that Prince Asara. Looks like I need to hurry up and make my move."

Barton watched as Reese began talking to himself again, and a bad feeling flashed through his mind. Every time Boss Reese did this, it meant that he had a new idea.

As for the electrons generated by Boss Reis... Barton could only think that if they had that kind of power, they should have used it to deal with Hafk, instead of chasing after these ordinary Asara soldiers every time.

Barton: I don't know if kneeling in front of Boss Reese will do any good now. It looks like it won't. Boss Reese is laughing again. When Boss Reese laughs, our lives are in danger.

"Hahaha, damn Patton, I've come up with a perfect idea."

Patton: Damn it, this is exactly what I feared. (;'??Д??`)

"Boss Reis... what brilliant idea do you have now? We really don't have enough people on our side to keep up with."

Upon hearing this, Reese grabbed Barton, who was standing nearby, and said with a smile:

"Hey! This operation doesn't need that many people. Besides, having too many people wouldn't be of any use. In the next few days, have someone go to Tide Prison and find out how the security is there. I'll take some men and get Prince Asara out of that Tide Prison."

Barton: Tidal Prison? It seems that Boss Reis really wants to destroy all the buildings that Hafk built, but... going to explore that place seems to be extremely dangerous.

After listening to Barton's concerns, Reese gave Barton a playful tap on the head, looking at him with a disappointed expression, and said:

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we're sending those people to fight. It's just reconnaissance. If you're afraid of dying, give them four... five sets of clothes, that should be fine, right? Seriously, we'll also send someone to fly a helicopter to see what it's like up there. If Hafk's men find us, just come back quickly."

After giving these instructions, Reese waved his hand, signaling Barton to get on with the arrangements.

Chapter 558 Speeding?

"Shenlan will be back tomorrow morning. Who wants to come with me to pick her up?"

After happily cuddling Xiao Hao and sleeping soundly all night, Zoya looked at the text message Shen Lan had sent her on her phone, then went downstairs to talk to everyone.

"Wait? Zoya, you mean you're going too? Are you driving?"

Red Wolf stopped Wei Long and Roy, who were eager to raise their hands in agreement, and then looked at Zoya with a serious expression and asked.

Upon hearing Red Wolf's question, even Wei Long and Roy immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. Yes, if it really was Zoya driving to pick someone up...

Roy: Never mind, I do like driving fast, but that doesn't mean I dare to drive fast like other people.
