Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 873 - 443

Thinking like this... Red Hair simply gave up resistance and began to systematically answer Qiu Tu's questions.

Per her account, a total of seven or eight Anti-government Armed Forces participated in this joint operation, involving more than 11,000 people.

Aside from the New Democratic Army, United Front, and Cult of Destruction, there were also smaller Anti-government Armed Forces and Extreme Religion organizations such as "Reform Club," "Pan-Faith Alliance," "White Church," and "Revival Group."

Among them, the overall commander was Scarface from the New Democratic Army, while the deputy commanders were Red Hair and Magician.

However... after all, these forces belonged to different groups and didn't cooperate much ordinarily. So... although the command was given, it was really just a coordination of a unified action.

This led to the situation that, after the Alliance Army was scattered, they actually didn't know each other's whereabouts.

Of course, Red Hair could use specific means of communication to contact the other few forces.

But as a deputy commander, she could directly contact only two or three forces.

If she contacted any other forces unauthorized, given the current sensitivity, it's very likely not only that they would not reply, but they would also alert the others.

After hearing Red Hair's account, Qiu Tu wasn't surprised.

The situation was pretty much what he had guessed, and it matched the intelligence the state government had distributed.

The core elite of this Anti-government Coalition was actually the "New Democratic Army."

The New Democratic Army was stirring up trouble in various cities and cutting off supply lines.

As for the other forces, most of them were just hanging around the edges, or creating a façade of power.

Though numerous and not insignificant, they were like loose sand and not much of a threat.

Even the New Democratic Army might not be able to control them fully.

However, it was also due to this... that they were hard to capture altogether after being dispersed.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu reflected briefly and decided it was essential to strike the snake at its vital point.

Only by dealing with the "New Democratic Army" and "Scarface," and securing a communication channel that would not be questioned, could he trace the vines to find the melons and capture all the Anti-government Armed Forces at once.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu looked at the exotic Red Hair beauty in front of him and asked, "You just said you can only contact a few forces."

"That should include Scarface, the overall commander of the entire operation, right?"

"Where is he?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, a moment of hesitation was clearly visible on Red Hair's face.

Clearly... she was considering whether to disclose such key information to Qiu Tu.

Just then, Larilo glanced coldly at her.

In that instant, all of Red Hair's hesitation vanished, and without any hesitation, she betrayed Scarface, "Xinjie City."

"Scarface is in Xinjie City."

"In Xinjie City?" Qiu Tu was visibly surprised by the answer.

After all, it was too coincidental.

So, he couldn't help asking, "Why is he in Xinjie City?"

Now that she had betrayed Scarface, Red Hair no longer felt any psychological burden.

She did not hesitate to fully repeat the reasons given by Scarface.

"Scarface's take is that... Eastern City is the state capital, full of experts, too dangerous."

"Xinjie City is right next to Eastern City, any new move from Huang Shangzong will be most easily detected there."

"Moreover... since Xinjie City was where the plan first began, but because it responded properly, it didn't suffer much impact, the situation has been very peaceful."

"Therefore, Dongye State might overlook it."

"They would never guess he would hide in Xinjie City."

"After all... the more chaotic the city, the better it is for us to hide."

Hearing Red Hair's words, Qiu Tu's brow slightly furrowed.

To be fair, Scarface's two reasons did seem logical.

But still... Qiu Tu felt something was off.

After all... it was strange for Scarface to start the operation from Xinjie City – even he admitted that Xinjie City was close to the state capital and that assistance could arrive promptly in the event of trouble.

Also, Xinjie City had just recently rooted out a wave of Anti-government Armed Forces and extremist religious scouts.

If Qiu Tu were Scarface, he would definitely choose a more remote city that hadn't been cleared of such elements for his operations.

Further, the fact that he retreated back to Xinjie City made his actions seem even more suspicious.

Was there something in Xinjie City attracting them?

Was it because of the "Boundless Heart Sea Region" belonging to humanity?

Thinking of this, as if he had suddenly realized something, Qiu Tu abruptly asked, "By the way, why did you start this operation?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Red Hair first glanced at Larilo beside her, and then she said, "Actually... our purposes are different."

"I did it for His Highness."

"His Highness had fallen a while ago, and we, His believers, have been active in Xinjie City, trying to find traces of His Highness and resurrect Her."

As for the "New Democratic Army" and the "Cult of Destruction," the initial reasons were similar. His Highness had loyal believers within these two forces too.

But... we were just stirring up minor troubles until Scarface appeared. He was commanded by his Deity "Muye" to plunge Dongye State into chaos.

It was said that the reason was... Dongye State had been acting too outrageously recently, involving two Evil Gods

As for the other forces

When he kissed Larilo earlier, Qiu Tu discovered that Evil Gods... seemed a bit different from ordinary humans.

Their lips and bodies seemed softer? More supple? Warmer?

Thus, even such simple trickery felt like an ultimate indulgence to Qiu Tu.
