Chapter 3697: Getting Worse
What Alex said on the phone made Freeman a little confused. Wasn't it the other party who started the fight first?
"What do you mean? Alex, your people fired first, and my people just fought back normally. From what you said, it seems that the responsibility lies with us."
"What a accusation. You did it, and now you want to blame me. You are really smart, Freeman."
The rumors heard by both sides were different. In addition, they were both angry on the phone, so how could they make it clear in a few words.
Freeman originally wanted to call for a truce, but now from the tone of Alex's words, a truce is impossible, at least his words should not have much effect.
The battle in front is still going on. The Flame Mercenary Group has opened a front on a road under construction. The fierce exchanges of fire have made the battle more and more intense.
The Thunder Mercenary Group is not a pushover either. The reinforcements from the rear are constantly coming. The two sides are evenly matched, and it is impossible to tell who is stronger and who is weaker for a while.
Freiman was already confused because of the rumors, and now he had a battle of this scale with another mercenary group, as if the events of the past two days had been surrounding him all the time.
"Alex, I warn you, stop your people quickly, otherwise if you continue to fight like this, you will bear the consequences yourself."
"Haha, threat? Are you threatening me?"
Alex's voice was cold. He had never been afraid of fighting. He would either not fight or fight to his heart's content.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? If you hadn't secretly made a move and joined forces with others to steal my arms, my mercenary group wouldn't be like this now!"
"What...what do you mean? Alex, I'm telling you, don't say some things casually."
"Don't you want to admit it? Freiman, you are really a villain who can disguise yourself. I still regard you as a friend, but you actually plotted against me behind my back."
At this moment, what Alex said made Freiman unable to answer for a while. He did do it himself.
The one who made this suggestion was none other than Perod, who had left the mercenary group. At that time, Perod was still the deputy of the mercenary group.
Perod suggested that they seize this opportunity to delay the pace of the Thunder Mercenary Group. With this batch of arms, it would be very important for them.
For the development of the mercenary group, Freeman did this vote. The plan was indeed perfect. In the end, Alex did not suspect him.
Now Alex actually said such words. Could it be that Perod told the secret, or the person who cooperated with him at the beginning.
"Alex, I warn you, you are like a mad dog now, don't bite people casually, and don't throw such dirty water on me."
"Do you mean that I am wronging you? Freyman, I will find evidence sooner or later. When I show the evidence, I will come to settle accounts with you!"
"You have no evidence after talking for a long time, and you even believe such words. I want to know who said these to you and dared to slander me."
The person who called Alex was a mysterious person who did not reveal his identity. Even if Alex knew, he would not tell Freyman at this time.
The battle outside was still going on. No matter what kind of hostile situation the two mercenary groups would face in the future, Freeman just wanted to calm down the battle at this moment.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's plan, there was no point in fighting like this, he said on the phone.
"Alex, I warn you, let your people stop fighting quickly, otherwise I will not be polite."
"Cease fighting? I, Alex, have never been afraid of others!"
The number of reinforcements has reached hundreds, which can be regarded as a small-scale operation. The conflict between the two sides has caused casualties on both sides.
The only ones who are not affected at this moment are Duan Zhisheng and his party, who are standing aside and watching the tigers fight. The more chaotic they fight, the better.
After looking at the time, Duan Zhisheng smiled and looked at the base of the Flame Mercenary Group.
"It's time!"
As his voice fell.
Boom...
A series of violent explosions came from the base of the Flame Mercenary Group.
The time bomb set exploded at this moment, adding gasoline to the originally anxious battle situation.
The explosion caused a violent vibration in the base. Freeman realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately sent people to search around to see if there were any unexploded bombs in their base.
Fortunately, there was a conflict with the Thunder Mercenary Group, and most people were not resting in the base, so the explosion did not cause many casualties.
"It's bad, General, our temporary arsenal was blown up, and all the new weapons stored in it were destroyed."
"Damn it! These are the goods just taken from Jock."
Freeman's heart was bleeding. When he rushed over, the temporary arsenal burner was blazing, and the fire was so fierce that he couldn't get close at all.
The munitions stored in it were all destroyed this time. Originally, this batch of munitions was intended to be used in tomorrow's raid.
"Quick! Find a way to put out the fire for me. You rubbish, you were sneaked in by others, and you didn't even notice it!".
Freeman was furious. If he had a gun in his hand now, he would shoot without hesitation and kill these useless rubbish.
However, Freeman forgot that his subordinates had reported the matter to him before, hoping that Freeman would treat it seriously.
Unfortunately, he thought that a perfect defense system did not need to worry about this, and now he blamed his own people for not doing a good job.
The arsenal was full of explosive goods. The blazing fire and the continuous violent explosions, who would dare to go forward to put out the fire?
They could only watch helplessly as everything was burned to ashes, leaving only the last broken walls and ruins.
Such a violent explosion could be heard by Alex and others from the Thunder Mercenary Group on the other side, and the flames after the explosion could be seen from such a long distance.
"What's going on? I didn't order the artillery to fire, how could such a large-scale explosion occur in the Fremen's base?"
In the battle of the double-outbreak, Alex has been sending more people, but he also has his own bottom line.
Knowing that it would not benefit anyone to continue fighting like this, Alex took this opportunity to vent his inner depression. When the time is right, he will come out to end it.
But what is the situation now? I didn't order the use of long-range artillery. Did the people under my command do this privately?
This was bound to completely arouse Freeman's anger. If a real fight broke out, it would not be so easy to end it. He immediately ordered an investigation into what was going on.
