Chapter 1041: It must be the Manchester Wharf!

~6 min read 1,127 words

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present froze in place.

Wang Zhenlong's eyes widened, his gaze fixed firmly on the Errol before him, his expression filled with disbelief.

The matter they had just been discussing was clearly top-secret intelligence.

This person had only just entered the tent; how could he have known?

Could it be that their intelligence had leaked before they had even finished designing their plan?

This was far too eerie...

At the same time, even Song Qi was observing the Errol before him with great interest.

In the eyes beneath his faceplate, a peculiar light flickered.

Inside the tent, no one spoke; it was unusually quiet.

Everyone looked at Errol with hostile intent, scaring the dark-skinned young man so much that his legs began to go weak.

After a long while, it was finally Song Qi's voice that broke the silence.

"How did you know?"

"I seem to recall never having told you about such a thing, have I?"

Errol also knew his previous behavior had been too abnormal, so he hurriedly explained.

"Commander..."

"I saw that on your map, you had only placed red flags on the Saint-Anlo Wharf and the Manchester Wharf!"

"And these two places are precisely the two wharves where the Free Nation is most likely to transport oil. Therefore... I boldly deduced that you were preparing to take action against the Free Nation's oil tankers..."

Errol's trembling voice came through.

Hearing Errol's explanation, everyone present was stunned.

It had to be said, this kid was truly clever!

To be able to deduce their combat intentions based solely on this one map.

This keen insight and observational power left ordinary people far behind.

Even Wang Zhenlong felt inferior...

Seeing that no one in the tent was speaking, Errol's brain began to run at high speed.

The conditions he had just mentioned, although they might have moved the Dragon Nation, were, after all, nothing more than empty promises!

If someone else were to say it, it would actually be the same.

He, Errol, had to make everyone realize his ability!

Furthermore, he needed them to have absolute confidence in his ability; only then could he fully gain the trust of the Dragon Nation military.

And thereby obtain the maximum level of support!

Thinking of this, Errol immediately made up his mind.

"Officers!"

"I know exactly where the Free Nation's oil wharf is!"

"It is right at the Manchester Wharf!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Qi narrowed his eyes.

"How do you explain that?"

Once this was brought up, Errol instantly perked up.

He walked over to the map in a few quick steps and began his eloquent speech.

"On the surface, the Saint-Anlo Wharf is located between the four existing oil fields of the Free Nation. If oil were transported from there, it would be more time-saving and labor-saving, and would greatly reduce transportation costs!"

"But in reality, the main traffic arteries from the Saint-Anlo Wharf to the major oil fields have all been destroyed; bridges have been blown up, roads have been crushed, and even the railways have been stripped clean!"

"In such a short time, it is impossible for the Free Nation to restore the transportation network!"

"Therefore, the Free Nation can now only transport oil through the Manchester Wharf!"

Listening to Errol's logical analysis, everyone looked at one another, clearly seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"So..."

Wang Zhenlong's skeptical voice came through.

"How do you know these things?"

Upon hearing this, Errol instantly straightened his back, his face filled with pride.

"Because! These transportation facilities were destroyed by people I sent!"

"At that time, I was stationed in Saint-Anlo City, but my superiors ordered me to retreat immediately without firing a single shot! Military orders are hard to defy, and I couldn't swallow that bitterness, so I destroyed all the transportation facilities along the way!"

"I never imagined they would actually come in handy now..."

"Truly, the ways of the world are unpredictable!"

Song Qi, standing to the side, nodded silently upon hearing this.

Sure enough, all his calculations couldn't compare to a local person providing firsthand testimony...

If the Free Nation's oil wharf was indeed the Manchester Wharf, then this Errol had truly performed a great service!

The request he had made should indeed be considered carefully.

Just as Song Qi was pondering, Errol's voice came again.

"Officers! Regarding the route to the Manchester Wharf, I also know of a path rarely traveled by people!"

"It is desolate and the conditions are harsh, but the journey is nearly a third shorter than the main road, and the probability of encountering Free Nation and Judea Nation garrison troops along the way will be greatly reduced!"

"I am willing to draw a map for you all!"

In order to gain the support of the Dragon Nation, Errol was going all out.

He immediately patted his chest and said loudly.

However, no one in the tent responded to him.

The soldiers in the tent were all Wang Zhenlong's confidants, and those who could become confidants to a Lieutenant General like Wang Zhenlong were almost all sharp as tacks.

They were not easily fooled.

How could they blindly believe the words of a mere greenhorn?

But the problem was, Errol's words were precisely the key clue to their mission!

To believe or not to believe.

It had become a huge problem.

Seeing the suspicious expressions on everyone's faces, Errol became anxious.

He hurriedly stretched out his finger and made a gesture of swearing.

"Great Allah is above! Your most devout believer, Errol, swears by his faith in you: if there is half a lie in what I just said, this believer is willing to suffer death by fire and fall into hell forever!"

In a country like the Desert Camel Nation where religion governs the state, believers sometimes view their faith as more important than life itself.

Swearing by one's faith is generally not something done falsely.

However, despite this, everyone still could not make up their minds.

In an instant, everyone's gaze converged on Song Qi.

Now, only Song Qi could make the decision...

At this moment, Song Qi's gaze was fixed intently on Errol's brown eyes.

A long time passed.

Song Qi's light voice finally came from the end.

"I can believe the intelligence you have provided! If your intelligence is true, I can give you the answer you want."

"However, I also have one requirement!"

"What requirement?" Errol asked hurriedly.

"In this battle, you must participate personally and join our combat team..."

"How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Errol was stunned for a moment.

This kind of mission sounded quite dangerous.

Let him participate?

Errol instinctively shuddered. ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
