Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 202 Missing

In the evening, the sun sets and the afterglow shines on the earth, making it golden.

Wang Hui and a group of generals stood beside the runway of the airport, looking anxiously at the sky, expecting the familiar plane to appear in sight.

However, as time passed, the night gradually enveloped the entire earth, but there was no sign of the plane piloted by Lu Tianhao returning.

An ominous premonition arose in Wang Hui's heart. He frowned tightly and stared into the distance with a serious look.

The other generals also began to feel uneasy and discussed in low voices what might happen.

As time went on, this uneasiness gradually turned into panic, and they realized that their commander Lu Tianhao might have met with an accident.

"What is going on?" a general couldn't help but ask, his voice revealing anxiety and worry.

"I don't know, but the Marshal's plane should have returned long ago..." another general echoed.

Wang Hui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he couldn't panic at this moment and had to take action.

So he decisively ordered, "Immediately send someone to telex various airports to inquire whether the Marshal's plane has landed."

After the order was given, everyone acted quickly.

Soon, information came from various airports, but the results were disappointing - there was no news about Lu Tianhao's plane.

Wang Hui's face became increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with worry and helplessness.

He knew very well that things might be worse than he had imagined.

"Has something really happened to the Marshal?" a general said worriedly.

Wang Hui nodded heavily, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, “It is very likely, we must prepare for the worst.

But before that, we will not give up hope of finding the Marshal," he said firmly.

As the night deepened, Wang Hui and his generals felt increasingly depressed.

They stood silently at the airport, looking at the endless night sky, praying for a miracle to happen.

However, the reality is too cruel to accept.

They had to face the fact that the plane piloted by their commander-in-chief, Lu Tianhao, had really crashed.

Wang Hui and a group of generals rushed back to the headquarters without stopping. He knew that time was running out and there could be no delay.

As soon as he arrived at the headquarters, Wang Hui immediately issued an emergency order, "Notify all troops to enter combat readiness from now on and be ready to attack at any time!"

Then, Wang Hui turned to the director and deputy directors of the Intelligence Department, Wu Qiuyue and Zhao Yali, and spoke in a serious tone.

"You two, immediately give orders to our intelligence personnel outside and have them all go out to find the Marshal's whereabouts as soon as possible!"

Wu Qiuyue and Zhao Yali looked at each other. They understood the importance of this mission, so they answered in unison.

"Yes, Chief of Staff! We will do our best to complete the mission!" After saying that, the two of them quickly left the command center and began to deploy intelligence work.

On the other hand, Wang Hui continued to direct the army's preparations for war to ensure that everything went smoothly.

He knew very well that only by knowing the whereabouts of the Marshal first could he better formulate the next strategic plan.

After everything was arranged, Wang Hui and a group of generals did not disband the meeting, but sat in the command center, quietly waiting for any news.

Their hearts were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, and everyone's face was filled with tension and worry.

After Wang Hui gave the order, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and collapsed in his chair like a deflated ball.

He looked very depressed, and his eyes revealed deep worry and anxiety.

"The Marshal must have encountered great danger this time." Wang Hui murmured to himself, with endless sadness and helplessness in his voice.

"Otherwise, with the Marshal's ability, even if he couldn't escape unscathed, he would at least find a way to pass on some information to us! But now..."

Yuan Yapeng frowned and said in a low voice, "We shouldn't have believed the Marshal's promise and let him fly the plane to participate in the war.

He is the core figure of our National Salvation Army. If something happens to the Marshal, how will our National Salvation Army continue to develop in the future?"

Everyone was silent, and the entire conference room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Everyone knows that today's National Salvation Army cannot do without the leadership of the Marshal.

If he were lost, the National Salvation Army would likely fall into chaos and even face the risk of disintegration.

A general said with a gloomy face, "Something must have happened to the plane the Marshal was flying."

Another general immediately said, "Yes! We have been searching for so long and have not found any trace of the Marshal.

And according to the situation at the time, the Marshal was likely to have landed in the occupied area."

The third general said worriedly, "If the Marshal really lands in the occupied area, the consequences will be disastrous!

If the Marshal falls into the hands of the enemy, what should we do? "

Everyone's face showed worry and uneasiness.

Wang Hui frowned and said in a heavy tone, "This is what I am worried about now. We are not afraid of the Marshal landing in the enemy-occupied area.

As long as we know his exact location, our National Salvation Army can launch an all-out attack, and no matter how great the cost, we will be able to rescue our Marshal.

However, if the Marshal falls into the hands of the enemy, they will definitely use him to threaten us and force our National Salvation Army to surrender. What choice should we make then?"

Yuan Yapeng said with a firm face, "The Marshal will definitely not agree to let our National Salvation Army surrender."

Wang Hui nodded and said in agreement, "There is no doubt that the Marshal will not agree to let our National Salvation Army surrender.

But if the enemy threatens us with the Marshal's life or death, what should we do? "

Everyone fell into silence, their hearts filled with contradictions and helplessness.

The Marshal single-handedly established the National Salvation Army, and he was the soul of this army.

If it really comes to that, are they just going to watch the Marshal die tragically at the hands of the enemy?

This would be unbearable pain and torture.

Everyone's face showed an expression of pain and confusion.

They were unwilling to give up the Marshal, but they didn't know how to deal with such a dilemma.

As time passed, everyone felt increasingly depressed.

They know that no matter what decision they make, they will face tremendous pressure and challenges.

Seeing everyone's heavy expressions, Wang Hui spoke up, "Okay, everyone, don't be so depressed.

Are there not enough pilots of our National Salvation Army who have landed in enemy-occupied areas?

To this day, the enemy has not captured any of our pilots, and that is because our pilots all possess the skills of the best soldiers.

Everyone should know the Marshal's abilities. He also possesses the abilities of a soldier king. His true strength should be even stronger than that of a soldier king.

Maybe the Marshal is now fighting with the enemy and rushing back.

Everyone, go back and rest first. Maybe when we wake up tomorrow, the Marshal will have returned."

Wang Hui's words filled everyone's hearts with hope again.

After the meeting, everyone returned to their base and quickly went to rest, hoping that when they woke up tomorrow morning, the Marshal would be back with them.
