Chapter 490

"Everyone! Are you planning to make a move on the Free State's oil transport terminal?"

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

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s eyes widened, his gaze locked firmly onto Errol before him, his expression filled with disbelief.

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

This man had only just entered the tent; how could he possibly know?

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

This was far too bizarre...

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

Beneath his visor, his eyes flickered with a peculiar light.

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

Everyone glared at Errol, causing the dark-skinned young man’s legs to go weak.

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

"How did you know?"

"I don't believe I ever told you about such a thing, did I?"

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

"Chief..."

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

"And these two places are the most likely terminals for the Free State to transport oil, so... I boldly inferred that you were preparing to strike at the Free State's oil tankers..."

Errol’s voice trembled as he spoke.

Hearing Errol’s explanation, everyone present was stunned.

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

To be able to deduce their operational intent from just this one map.

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

Even Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong felt inferior...

Seeing that no one in the tent was speaking, Errol’s brain began to race.

The conditions he had mentioned earlier might have moved the Dragon Country, but what he had said were merely empty promises!

It would be the same if anyone else had said it.

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

And have absolute confidence in his capabilities; only then could he fully gain the trust of the Dragon Country military.

And thereby obtain maximum support!

Thinking of this, Errol immediately made up his mind.

"Officers!"

"I know exactly where the Free State's oil terminal is!"

"It is at the Manchester Terminal!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qi narrowed his eyes.

"Explain."

When it came to this, Errol instantly perked up.

He walked over to the map and began his eloquent speech.

"On the surface, the Saint Anlo Terminal is located between the four existing oil fields of the Free State. If oil were transported from there, it would save time and effort, and significantly reduce transport costs!"

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

"In such a short time, the Free State cannot possibly restore the transport network!"

"Therefore, the Free State can now only transport oil through the Manchester Terminal!"

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

"So..."

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s skeptical voice came through.

"How do you know these things?"

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

"Because! These transport 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 shot! I couldn't disobey military orders, but I couldn't swallow the bitterness either, so I destroyed all the transport 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.

Sure enough, all his calculations couldn't compare to a local giving a firsthand account...

If the Free State's oil terminal was indeed the Manchester Terminal, then this Errol had truly performed a great service!

The request he had made should indeed be carefully considered.

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

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

"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 State or Judea State garrison troops along the way will be greatly reduced!"

"I am willing to draw the map for you!"

To gain the support of the Dragon Country, Errol had gone 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 Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong’s confidants, and those who could become confidants to a Major General like Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Zhenlong were all sharp individuals.

They were not easily fooled.

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

But the problem was, Errol’s words were precisely the key clues to their mission!

To believe or not to believe.

It became a huge problem.

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

He hurriedly stretched out his fingers 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, I am willing to suffer death by fire and fall into hell forever!"

In a country like the Desert Camel Country where religion governs, believers sometimes value their faith more than life itself.

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

However, even so, everyone was still unable to 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 firmly on Errol’s brown eyes.

A long time passed.

Song Qi’s light voice finally drifted out from the back.

"I can trust the intelligence you 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?"

Errol was stunned upon hearing this.

This kind of mission sounded quite dangerous.

Let him participate?

Errol instinctively shuddered.
