608: Chapter 608 This is the Showdown

Cleaning out the Elder Hall also took a considerable amount of time.

Currently, four fleets of warships are simultaneously clearing from the east, south, west, and north directions, but the speed is still very slow. An hour has passed, and only 10 villages have been cleared. At this rate, it will take another 8 to 9 hours to complete the entire cleanup.

At the same time, something happened internally in China.

21:10 PM.

Kyoto, China, Council Building.

Now, a warship surrounding the Council Building suddenly opened fire.

These warships were dispatched by the various directly subordinate bases in Kyoto and had been surrounding the area for over 20 days.

Fortunately, the target of the attack was not the Council Building.

“How outrageous! Do they still have any respect for the Council? Attacking the Council Building openly, this is an act of rebellion!” Baili Ji slammed the table in anger after hearing the report.

“Alright, alright, look at your temper!” Old Qin pressed his hand, signaling him to calm down.

“Isn’t this what we’ve been waiting for? Why are you angry?” Old Qin retorted.

“These people really pick their time! They don’t cause trouble early or late, but precisely at this moment!” Baili Ji shook his head, complaining.

“This is just the beginning. Do you think this is just a coincidence?” Old Qin took a sip of tea.

“Are you saying their troublemaking is related to the operation against Mordo?” Baili Ji understood.

“That’s inevitable,” Old Qin replied matter-of-factly.

“Not good! The warships of the Southeast Military Region and the Northeast Military Region have already been transferred to Mosang Ark Base. If they mutiny now, it will be difficult for us to cope!” Baili Ji was startled.

“If the troops hadn’t been transferred, they wouldn’t have acted so easily,” Old Qin added.

“Old Qin, have you already made arrangements?” Baili Ji saw Old Qin’s relaxed demeanor, and his tense emotions eased.

“No, let’s wait and see!” Old Qin said.

“Ah?” Baili Ji was stunned.

No way, you’re still so relaxed?

“No, Old Qin, this is no joke. If we don’t take measures, China will fall into chaos!” Baili Ji became nervous again.

“Whether it falls into chaos or not, you just watch,” Old Qin glanced at him, not elaborating.

It wasn’t that he was deliberately being mysterious, but Oriental Chen had reminded him not to trust anyone easily.

At this moment, even a small mistake could lead to very serious consequences.

“Report!”

“Enter!”

At this moment, a Soldier shouted a report from outside the door.

“Speaker, Cui Quanxi requests to speak,” the Soldier handed over a phone.

Baili Ji frowned and took the call.

Cui Quanxi is the temporary command group leader of the Kyoto Habitat Underground Base, which is a directly subordinate base of Kyoto, and also the overall person in charge of the base.

In terms of administrative level, his position is equivalent to that of a city mayor. Logically, officials of this level do not have the right to speak directly with the Speaker, but the current situation is special, so extraordinary measures are being taken.

“Speak!” Baili Ji said ungraciously.

“Speaker, how have you considered it?” Cui Quanxi’s tone was a bit arrogant.

“I’ve said it before, the Council does not accept negotiations,” Baili Ji said coldly.

“Now I won’t waste any more words with you. Immediately release the people and withdraw the Chinese warships from Mordo’s territory, otherwise, you know the consequences!” Cui Quanxi immediately changed his tone.

“Cui Quanxi! You damn traitor of Mordo!” Baili Ji gritted his teeth.

This was the showdown; no more pretense.

“Speaker Baili, talking about these things now is meaningless. I’ll give you an hour to consider. If you don’t agree, we will immediately launch an attack.”

“Beep beep beep ~” Cui Quanxi hung up the phone directly after speaking.

“You may leave!”

“Yes!”

Baili Ji handed the phone to the Soldier, and the Soldier saluted and left.

“Cui Quanxi has revealed his hand?” Old Qin asked.

“Yes!” Baili Ji nodded.

For everyone, this was already an open secret.

Cui Quanxi must be a Moni Sect member.

If he wasn’t a Moni Sect member, would a Settlement leader dare to surround the Council Building?

It’s simply impossible.

Old Qin had not brought up this topic because the time was not right.

Just as he said before, when it’s unclear whether a situation will turn out positively or negatively, don’t flip the coin prematurely.

Otherwise, it would be awkward if it turned out unfavorably for oneself.

Now that Mordo is in a critical situation, they had no choice but to show themselves.

“Since someone has shown themselves, it’s only natural for us to act. Inform the leaders of the other three directly subordinate bases that Cui Quanxi is a cult member and have them unite to eliminate him,” Old Qin said.

“Old Qin, aren’t you joking? The other three must also be cult members. Will they listen to us?” Baili Ji did not carry out the order, but complained.

Exactly, if they weren’t cult members, would they conspire to attack the Council?

“Who’s joking with you? Do you think I’m senile? Execute the order!” Old Qin glared at him.
