Chapter 139 Taking Over Baksh
Chapter 139 Taking Over Baksh
Your one-stop haven for novel reading.
Demurean knew that if she didn't return to Space City, it was only a matter of time before Hudson completely took over the space base.
Demulan, as the Director of Security, was well aware of how elite Hudson's Acceleration Force Special Operations Group was and how troublesome the Hafk support vehicles were. In addition, Hudson's status as a shareholder of the Hafk Group's board of directors and the Minister of Efficiency was enough to give the Hafk soldiers stationed in the space city a double crushing advantage.
"Ha, De, Sen!" At this moment, Demulan was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
At this moment, Demulan faced only two choices: one, continue the siege of Said and watch Hudson take over the space base; two, lead his troops back to the space base. However, this siege of Red Owl was likely to fail.
And... that two-faced Hamk!
After carefully recalling and connecting the events of the past few days, especially today's events, Demulan instantly understood the crux of the matter.
There's absolutely no chance of that happening. Hudson is behind it all, and Hamk is probably in cahoots with him!
At this moment, relying on the reasoning that the process was entirely wrong but the result was entirely right, Demoulins made a decision after repeated deliberation.
"Withdraw the troops and return to the space city!" Demulan ordered through gritted teeth. Even after her subordinates had relayed the orders to the various units, her eyes remained fixed on the direction of the Royal Museum of the Bakshi Region below.
She knew what making this decision meant.
From this moment on, Red Owl's forces will receive a tremendous boost. The Babel Tower headquarters in Baksh, the pride of Hafk, and the symbol of the order Hafk has established on this land, will never have peace again because of Red Owl, this new "neighbor".
But she had no other choice.
The threat from Red Owl comes from the future. Retreating today does not mean there will be no chance to completely wipe out Said and his men in the future. However, if the space base falls into Hudson's hands, everything will be over.
If the Dark Star Project fails, Hafk's space station will face annihilation, a pain that Demulan cannot bear. However, there is another scenario, even more terrifying than failure.
That means Hudson succeeded.
If the Dark Star Project succeeds, Hudson's reach will extend into Hafk's skies. Demulan is well aware of Hudson's methods, and there is still no news from Jacob Hafk's side.
In this way, Hudson would gain the power to overthrow the entire Hafk Group.
Demulan knew exactly who Hudson was. He was a madman with a heart of stone, an absolute anti-human element. If such a person were to get his hands on the core projects and power of the Hafk Group, everything would be over.
With Demulan's order, many of the Hafk troops began an orderly retreat, boarding the returning helicopters and flying away from Baksh headquarters.
"We won! Hafk's lackeys have been driven away!"
"We won!" Hakim Ziani shouted.
"Long live Commander Saeed! Long live Asara!" Karim bin Ali said, adding that he also very much wanted to improve.
Inside the Royal Museum, the expressions of several of Youssef's confidants changed repeatedly, but in the end, they all held back and none of them stepped forward.
What if Saeed and his men just kill him now that he's standing up?
They had just repelled Hafk's attack, especially since the person in charge of the attack was Hafk Group's security director, Demulan, at a time when Saeed's prestige was at its peak.
Rather than standing up now and courting death, it would be better to avoid the limelight, lie low under Said, and then secretly contact Lord Yousef to plan a bigger undertaking.
"Sir, they really have retreated."
"Just now, the Hafk soldiers who were prepared to attack throughout the Royal Museum have all retreated." Molten Prison, holding a flamethrower, rushed to Zhao Yu and respectfully reported.
The departing helicopter cannot be faked; the helicopter carrying Demoulan, which had been hovering over the Tower of Babel, has now left.
"Go, take control of all the places in Bakshi and see if there are any brothers who have managed to escape this calamity. Save as many as you can!"
"If there are any more of Hafk's henchmen, pull them all out!" Zhao Yu raised his hand, looked at Rongyu, and gave the order.
"Understood, sir!" Rongyu replied respectfully.
Demulan's quick retreat was unexpected for Zhao Yu, but Demulan's actions did not affect Zhao Yu's plans.
Zhao Yu's adjutants then led the Asara Guard soldiers, who had just been temporarily recruited from the Royal Museum, to various parts of Bakshi to carry out rescue operations.
Of course, I'll also take over various areas of Bakshi while I'm at it.
After the adjutant left, and when there were no Asara Guard units around Zhao Yu, Bit and Red Wolf came to Zhao Yu's side.
"Headquarters detected that a large number of air units have left; they have indeed withdrawn."
They couldn't help but be puzzled. Demulan had an absolute numerical advantage, yet he suddenly gave up the opportunity that was handed to him to wipe them out completely and chose to withdraw. This was too abnormal.
"Of course Demulan won't leave so easily. That old hag isn't so easy to deal with, but the reason is actually quite simple."
"Just think about it, for Demulan, what could be more important than the immediate victory?" Zhao Yu explained.
At the same time, his chief guard did not leave, but instead, led by the chief guard captain, came to Zhao Yu's vicinity.
"Space City!" Red Wolf's eyes flickered, clearly deep in thought, but he quickly came up with the answer. For Demulan, only Space City was more important than annihilating them all, including Red Owl and many GTI operators.
The threat posed by the Red Owl is high, but their threat level is not low either.
It seems like a fire broke out in the backyard.
Red Wolf and Bit immediately began reporting their speculations to headquarters.
"Yes, that's right, Demulan has already left."
……
Hamk has disappeared. The plan to win him over still needs to be put in more effort. What? They've already given up!
"Alright, alright." Bit sighed softly, and everyone could sense his regret. But unlike in the original storyline where the GTI executives gave up on winning over Said, although he was disappointed, Bit ultimately chose to accept the order and did not insist on continuing.
From Bit's perspective, Hamk and Said are no match for each other, so giving up is simply giving up.
Anyway, they've already secured Said, and although they didn't get him to join GTI, the two sides have reached a high level of cooperation, which is enough, and even far exceeded Bit's expectations.
