At 10 o'clock in the evening, a military vehicle drove out of the city of Kandahar.Billy the drunk.
Russo flicked the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, sending the powerful military vehicle at breakneck speed on the road in poor conditions.In the back seat of the car, a drunken unconscious Frank was sleeping profusely.In fact, they only drank 2 drinks from the time they entered the bar to the time they left."
Uh, I'm feeling a little dizzy."
Frank was asleep, and in the midst of the constant jolting, he opened his eyes.He looked blankly at the scenery speeding by, and then looked at Billy who was driving, and said, "Where are we going?"
Billy...
Why do you have two heads?
”"You're drunk, hell."
The drunken Billy didn't look back and said, "Lie there, I still remember the road...
Oh hell!
”With an exclamation, the speeding car was blown up by the stone pads on the side of the road and almost flipped on its side.But Billy's driving skills are good, and in the current situation in Kandahar, no one will come to check his drunk driving.Anyway, after nearly 30 minutes of rickety driving, the car pulled up outside a makeshift camp in a hidden valley.A drunken Billy didn't notice that behind the road back to camp as he drove Frank all the way, there was a strange bird hovering in the air following them.Of course, even if he was sober, he couldn't see Victor.Just after the two men were carried into the camp by the sentry, Merlin's figure quietly appeared in the barracks in the distorted light of the shapeshifting spell.He looked at the base in the valley, his figure quickly disappeared in the gloomy night, and under the cover of the shadow cloak, the black mist quietly penetrated in the direction of the barracks.William.
Rollins is there.Merlin could feel that tonight, he would reap all the mysteries of this mission.But a few minutes after entering the barracks, Merlin soon noticed that something was wrong.According to a drunken Frank and Billy, the build-up of Marines in Afghanistan for armed training of government forces was sudden, having been ordered to assemble a month earlier, and was reportedly joined by soldiers from several other nearby countries.The size of this improvised army should be around 400 men, but the problem is that Merlin circled the camp at great speed, only to find that the lives in the camp, even with the wounded soldiers, would not exceed 100 at most.More than half of the soldiers disappeared that night.There was no strong smell of blood and corpses in the camp, which meant that it was not an attack, and the soldiers left on their own initiative.Judging from the sparse vehicles in the garage, those soldiers should have gone on a mission overnight."
What is the difference between secretly helping government forces exterminate jihadists and directly participating in the war?"
Merlin shook his head, he really couldn't figure out the brain circuits of the generals in the Ministry of Defense.But that's not what he's tasked with, and he doesn't care about those things.He sped through the huge camp, and in a few minutes he was at the place where the CIA agents were.To Merlin's surprise, there were also few signs of life in the tent.Those agents were also dispatched?
With this doubt, Merlin entered a tent.It was evident that the agents were not in a hurry, the quilts in the tents were folded, and there were not many things in the tables and simple wardrobes.They should leave in a planned manner and walk calmly.Merlin found nothing of value in this tent, and he entered another tent, where he found a sealed chest.He didn't touch the code, which is not required for a wizard to pick a lock.Merlin pulled out his wand and cast a spell on the chest.
“Alohomora！
A dark red glow hit the black box, and the gears of the lock rotated automatically, and after 2 seconds, the sealed agent box opened in front of him.In the darkness, Merlin picked up the stacked papers in the box, and he quickly flipped through them.But there is nothing dry about the contents of these documents.It's all a summary of the intelligence work within the CIA and a rough intelligence plan, all of which are the same, and most of them have not been implemented.He put the papers away and left the tent, he looked around, shook his head, and decided not to look in those dark tents anymore, it didn't make any sense.He looked at the only tent in front of him that was still lit, and after a moment, he quietly infiltrated it."
Is there any news from General Skunov's?"
As soon as he entered the tent, Merlin heard a neutral voice, and he looked inside the large tent, which looked like a makeshift office.Under the bright lights, three agents were typing on their keyboards, and one agent was observing the screen in front of them.Finally, there was a commander-like guy who looked to be in his 40s, with short hair, a thin face, and a hint of bruising on his cheeks.Merlin's eyes immediately narrowed at the sight of this person.William.
Rollins, I've found you!
However, Merlin did not act immediately, instead he stood at the edge of the tent and observed the movements of the agents.They seem to be acting as a backup to the soldiers on the front line, keeping in touch with the soldiers who are on their mission."
The generals and soldiers are approaching the target, and there are still 2 kilometers left!"
One agent replied to Rawlings, "The images sent back by the military satellite show that there are no anomalies in the canyon of the jihadists' stronghold, and the lunatics have not noticed them. ”"Good, keep up the contact every 15 minutes."
Rawlings looked at the computer screen at hand and said, "I want to get feedback from the front as soon as possible." ”Merlin looked curiously at the monitor on the table, where there was a shaking camera, apparently carried on a soldier's helmet.The soldier was sitting in a military vehicle, and in front of him, there were many military vehicles full of soldiers, and in the dark night sky, there were lights left behind by the passing of helicopters.It was clearly a large-scale raid.But Merlin's expression didn't look very good, and the desert terrain that came back from the camera felt a little familiar to him.He looked back at another screen, where the red dots on the map represented the convoy were dancing on the map, indicating that the convoy had gone deep into the desert at night."
It's the canyon base of the Ten Rings Gang."
Merlin saw where the convoy was heading and where it was going, and for a moment, Merlin had an indescribable sense of absurdity.It took him many months to find the location of the Ten Rings Gang through many clues, but these agents and soldiers actually accurately located that canyon in such a short period of time?
Has the CIA been so productive?
No, it's not!
Merlin quickly denied the idea.He looked at Rollins, the head of the secret service, who was sitting at his desk, frowning, as if concerned about the situation.The memory of the base leader, Abbas, does not lie, Rawlins is indeed cooperating with the Ten Rings, and it stands to reason that he should not let these soldiers go to encircle and suppress the territory that the Ten Rings have been operating for a long time.He didn't stop it, indicating that the raid had no effect on his cooperation with the Ten Rings.But the Ten Rings aren't crazy, and they won't let the soldiers raid them so easily...
It could be a play between the two sides.Wait, no!
It's a trap!
Merlin's brow jumped sharply, and a terrible guess appeared in his mind.His mind suddenly came to the email he had seen, the email sent by the base leader, the letter written in English."
Keeping the eyes of Washington's politicians on Afghanistan, locked at our feet, drawing them into the quagmire of war, making them unaware of their own backs, making them unaware of our presence.""
Go, right in Kandahar.Everything you need is ready, sacrifice with blood, and let the holy war truly come. ”Merlin had also wondered what was being said in that godly e-mail that sounded like some vague prophecy.But at this moment, Merlin understood.All the fragments of information collected in the previous months formed a complete puzzle in Merlin's mind at this moment.He knew what Rollins and the Ten Rings were going to do!
They were going to send those more than 300 soldiers and a major general to death at once, and they were going to create a horrific massacre.The members of the Ten Rings in the canyon base must have prepared for an ambush, and the group of ignorant soldiers, unbeknownst to them, were marching towards the open gates of hell.The deaths of more than 300 soldiers, the horrific mass casualties that were about to occur, were the trigger for the rapid development of the war.Mandarin of the Ten Rings intends to provoke those who have been operating behind the scenes with blinding blood, urging them to come to the forefront, the cold-blooded and crazy conspirator who is forcing the United States to start a war against a distant country without being prepared.But this war is not an end, but a means.They want to shift the attention of the Americans to distant Afghanistan, leaving them with no time to look behind them.The Ten Rings will quietly infiltrate the distant North American continent in the shadow of a possible war.It's like playing a game of "sound and west".But this game made Merlin can't help but tingle his scalp.Hidden in the shadows, he jerked back, and after understanding the terrifying conspiracy, he couldn't help but look at the mission code marked on the screen of the monitor."
Haund".Three-headed Hellhound...
The legendary Gatekeeper of Hell represents the signal of endless calamity and death, the messenger of death.It seems that even the name of this operation is not arbitrary.This is a game that uses the war between two countries, the lives of more than 300 people as an introduction, and the lives of nearly 10 million people as a bet.It's a game that Merlin can't even imagine now, just as Merlin still doesn't know what role the CIA played in this operation.Merlin came to Afghanistan to investigate the CIA and the Ten Rings gang, but fate was so willful that it casually threw Merlin a shocking event that he couldn't stop at the moment.This truth came too suddenly.The Ten Rings and Rollins...
They've gone crazy.()
