<h4>Chapter 1126: Chapter 1133: Ag (3)</h4>


    A night passed.


    Early the next morning, Ling Chen received a call from Jiang Yunkai. They had gotten off the ne and were preparing to head towards the desert. After getting Ag’s consent, Ling Chen revealed his location to Jiang Yunkai, asking him toe directly here.


    "Mr. Ling, our General invites you to breakfast," a lieutenant walked into the tent where Ling Chen spent the night and said.


    "Alright, I’ll be right there."


    Given the current situation, forming a good rtionship with Ag was extremely necessary. If he could leverage Ag’s power and ask for his help, his chances of rescuing the porridge girl would be much greater. Otherwise, with just their group and ack of weapons and equipment, it would be no different from a suicide mission.


    The breakfast Ag prepared was quitevish, perhaps because he had stayed in East Sea City for a few years; the style of breakfast was simr to that of his home country.


    "General Ag, thank you for the invitation."


    "No need to be so formal. Mr. Ling, you are a few years older than me, there’s no need to call me General. If you don’t mind, just call me Ag."


    "How can I do that? After all, you’re the future national leader, I..."


    Ag smiled, waving his hand, and said: "Mr. Ling, a national leader is still an ordinary person. You don’t need to worry too much. Honestly, I yearn for my previous life even more. If it weren’t for my father’s incident, I wouldn’t have taken on this responsibility so early. Managing a country... really isn’t easy. Besides, you see my current situation; I’m no different from a stray dog."


    Ling Chen asked, "Ag, is your situation very troublesome now?"


    "More than troublesome." Ag gave a bitter smile and said: "Currently, there are three rebel forces in the country. The ones who attacked usst night were just one of them. As you saw, just one rebel force outnumbers and outguns us. If ites to a fight, our chances of winning are very low."


    "How many people do you have left?"


    "The army that escaped with me into the desert is just over three thousand, but each rebel force numbers in the tens of thousands. However, ording to my intel, we still have some government troops controlled by the rebels. Because of their numbers, the rebels want to persuade them to join, so they haven’t killed them. If we can rescue them, I will have a numerical advantage. Moreover, there’s a secret weapons cache in a city over four hundred kilometers from the desert. The rebels don’t know about it. If I can get the weapons from that cache, I can equip a well-armed army, and resolving the rebel threat will be a breeze."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately understood the true purpose of Ag’s breakfast invitation.


    The other party was seeking help!


    Putting down the bread in his hand, Ling Chen looked at Ag’s pleading eyes and said, "You want us to help you?"


    Ag nodded and said, "That’s right. Brother Ling, I’m well aware of your capabilities. There are things my men can’t do, but for you, they’re a piece of cake. If you can help me rescue the other government troops and transport the weapons from the cache to the desert, I assure you, I will definitely send troops to assist you in rescuing your friend."


    Ling Chen looked seriously at Ag, seemingly hesitating whether to agree to the terms.


    "Brother Ling, my situation is dire, I hope you can help me, consider it as a favor."


    "You will really use your resources to help me?"


    "I swear."


    Ling Chen smiled faintly: "Oaths are the least reliable thing, they can only fool children." After a pause, Ling Chen said, "How about this, I can help you as long as you keep your promise. If you change your mindter, I have ways to deal with you."


    When dealing with someone like this, promises are hollow, so it’s best toy out the ugly truth first. Besides, Ling Chen indeed needed Ag’s help now.


    Seeing Ling Chen agree, Ag was particrly pleased and quickly nodded, saying, "Brother Ling, rest assured, I will definitely keep my promise."


    "Alright! Let’s not talk about anything else, give me a copy of the intelter, and I’ll help you deal with it as soon as possible."


    "No problem." Ag couldn’t even care about finishing breakfast and immediately called someone to prepare the intel.


    Ten minutester.


    "Ling Cheng, are you really going to help him?" Yuan Yun asked.


    "Third Brother, this is our chance. You’ve all seen the intel on the porridge girl’s situation. Our strength alone is too weak. Unless there’s a strong military intervention, our chances of sess are very low."


    Qiu Yong chimed in, "Ling Cheng must have thought this through carefully. We don’t need to doubt it. Since the agreement has been reached, we might as well seize the time and get it done quickly."


    Ling Chen ced a copy of the intel Ag sent on the table and said, "I just reviewed the intel earlier. Those government troops are trapped in the city we passed through, about a few thousand of them, held in a sports arena. The defense at the sports arena isn’t very strong, only about a hundred people. Considering our capabilities, we can easily handle it."


    "Ling Cheng, you’re the best at this kind of operation. Tell us what to do, and we’ll do everything we can to support you," Qiu Yong said.


    "Alright."


    ...


    Bang!


    A sudden explosion sent several men flying through the air.


    Seeing her bloodiedrades lying on the ground, the porridge girl bit her lip slightly, ignoring the bloodstains on her own body, and quickly instructed others to fill the gaps to prevent the enemies outside from breaking in.


    "It’s no good, the enemy’s attack is too fierce. We can’t stop them," Chen Zongming said urgently while holding an assault rifle, his body covered in wounds, looking at the porridge girl.


    "Even if we can’t, we must," the porridge girl said firmly. "If we’re short on people, recruit those from the logistics department."


    "This... alright."


    Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the enemy finally ceased their attack, leaving behind bodies and retreating.


    Looking at the shattered corridor, the porridge girl ran her hand through her hair and slowly exhaled.


    "Get the injured inside and try to save them," she ordered.


    Upon her words, everyone, dragging their exhausted bodies, hurriedly got to work. The consecutive days of fighting had drained them all, leaving their faces numb, devoid of any energy.


    "You’re hurt," Chen Zongming said, holding the porridge girl’s arm with concern. "Let me bandage it for you."


    "Thank you!"


    "Oh,e on, don’t say thank you, we’re too close for that."


    After bandaging the wound, Chen Zongming turned to look at the bodies neatlyid out and sighed softly, "We lost seven or eight more this battle; at this rate, we’ll be consumed sooner orter."


    The porridge girl lowered her head, silently staring at the ground. She had done everything she could at this point. Faced with such a hopeless situation, she didn’t know what else to do.
