Chapter 630 Feint

"Yes! Counterattack! Kill all those bastards!"

Franklin shouted excitedly, but Arthur's face didn't look good when he heard it. He

lowered his head and was silent for a while, then he suddenly looked up and said:

"Mike, I don't recommend you to do this."

Victor and Franklin were stunned when he said this, and even Mike couldn't help but look at Arthur.

"If we don't counterattack, we will lose this time. The ransom of those captives alone can't make up for our losses."

Mike's words made Franklin react and nodded repeatedly.

He also agreed to counterattack, but he didn't think as deeply as Mike did. He just thought that they should beat the fallen dog and pursue the victory.

"But you also have to consider the current state of the soldiers. Their situation is not good! In this state, their combat effectiveness is only one tenth of what it is. It is very dangerous to pursue rashly! Mike, listen to my advice, don't want to challenge the whole world, we are not qualified now!"

Arthur was a little excited, so his voice was a little loud.

Everyone else at the scene cast a worried look at him, because it was not an act for a subordinate to openly contradict Mike, the leader, in front of everyone.

However, Mike was not angry when he heard this, but laughed.

"You misunderstood me, Arthur, I don't want to challenge the whole world." Mike said with a smile, "I know everyone's current situation very well, but we must pursue them, but I didn't say we have to fight for real. We just need to feint, only in this way will those cunning guys honestly spit out the benefits." At

this point, Mike paused, turned his head and looked at Victor who was still in an excited state, and then continued:

"What's more, we still have Victor. We don't even need to send many people out, just let the mechanical soldiers approach their border and put pressure on them."

Hearing this, Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the commander of the combat forces of the Los Santos Group and even the entire Ying Kingdom Ministry of Magic, no one knows the current bad situation better than him, and no one cares more about the life and death of these subordinates.

Although the Ministry of Magic that attacked them was defeated this time, it was not damaged. Even the Magical Congress of the United States, which suffered the most serious losses, still retained some of its manpower.

It would be fine if Mike did not order a pursuit. If Mike insisted on ordering a pursuit,

then given the current state of the Los Santos wizards and the Aurors of Yingguo, they would most likely return in defeat, or even suffer heavy casualties!

This is something Arthur definitely does not want to see.

At this time, Victor, who was standing aside, heard Mike calling him and woke up from his excited fantasy.

He forced his way into the crowd and said with dissatisfaction:

"Don't say that! My combat robots are very strong, and they will definitely beat those guys to pieces."

Victor said affirmatively, but no one at the scene took his words seriously.

After all, the so-called combat robots are now in front of everyone. It would be a bit too much to continue to say how powerful such a simple thing can be.

But what Victor said was still quite funny.

Hearing this, everyone was amused by him, and the tense atmosphere at the scene was eased at once.

Seeing this, Victor ran away to sulk, and after laughing for a while, Arthur and others hurriedly took their men to prepare for the pursuit. After all

, although this was just a feint, we must also prevent the situation of encountering a fool and going to war directly.

The other magic departments are not fools. If they are really exposed by the fool, then they will definitely see through Mike's feint plan.

At that time, the benefits that can be obtained cannot be guaranteed.

After Arthur and others all went out, Penelope came late, and Soraka and other healers came with her.

Seeing this huge group of people, even Mike was a little panicked.

You know, he ran out of the ward secretly, and this behavior is bound to be blamed by Penelope.

The most important thing is that he felt that his wound was getting worse because of this attack. It would be difficult for Soraka to undergo another operation.

But when the time came, he had no room for maneuver.

Helplessly, Mike could only straighten his body and pretend to be calm as he went to meet Penelo and others.

To be honest, he was ready to be taught a lesson by Penelo.

But to his surprise, Penelo didn't say anything, but cried and threw herself into Mike's arms.

Although the other party used a lot of strength, which made Mike's wound hurt for a while, Mike still felt extremely happy.

He gently patted Penelo's back and comforted his girlfriend in his arms, but his eyes kept looking at Soraka.

Because the other party's eyes were flashing with purple light, which was obviously using some kind of magic to check his body.

After waiting for a long time, the purple light in Soraka's eyes gradually dimmed.

She rubbed her brows and said with a somewhat regretful tone:

"The wound has a tendency to worsen, but the degree is acceptable. No surgery is needed. Just go back to bed for a week and it will be fine."

After these words came out, Mike and Penelope breathed a sigh of relief. As for Soraka's tone, they all ignored it.

"Go back and have a good rest. Don't run out again." Penelope looked up at Mike and said, "We will take care of the next things. Your current task is to take care of your body."

Mike's expression was a little strange when he heard it.

If possible, he really wanted to refute Penelope.

After all, it was he who took action to solve this matter. Penelope now said that they could do it, but in Mike's opinion, they were far from it.

But Mike was obviously not stupid enough to tell the truth at this time. Hearing this, he tilted his head and hinted:

"This action is related to the final benefits we can get. It is very important. Moreover, this is the end. I think I may still be able to persist."

Penelope obviously understood what Mike meant. Her two beautiful eyebrows were tangled together in an instant. Then she got out of Mike's arms, stood up straight and said seriously:

"Mike, don't carry all the things on your shoulders. You will be exhausted. Besides, don't you usually like to be a hands-off boss? What's wrong with doing it again this time?"

"It's different this time..."

"Please trust us once, we will do it well, I promise!"

"Well... okay."

Looking at Penelope's serious expression, Mike finally softened his heart.

In his opinion, it was not a big deal to verbally agree to such a thing.

Anyway, he could also remotely control it in the ward through Victor. As long as something unexpected happened, he could correct it in time.

So, accompanied by a therapist, Mike returned to the familiar ward again.

Because of his old injury and excessive exertion, Mike soon fell into a dream.

When Mike fell asleep, the expression on Penelope's face became serious again.

She originally planned not to rely on Mike for this matter, so she deliberately concealed it from Mike.

After all, Mike is injured now, and they can't rely on Mike for everything.

For this reason, she has even thought of a set of effective plans. Penelo ordered the initial production of Victor's combat robots. Otherwise, let alone a thousand sets, with Victor's character, it would be great to be able to make a set of finished products to play with.

If she follows her plan, then they can hold on until Mike's injury recovers, not to mention a big victory.

But the situation on the front line was secretly told to Mike.

Obviously, someone in the Freemasonry is unwilling to believe her.

This person may be Franklin, Benjamin, Arthur, or... all of them.

Penelo doesn't want to go into this, because she will seize this opportunity and let these people know that she, Penelo, is also a reliable administrator!

Thinking of this, Penelo raised her head slightly and strode towards the teleportation hall.

Behind her were a dozen guards.

But it is not known whether it was because of Penelo's unusual aura or something else, but these people deliberately kept their distance from Penelo and did not dare to approach her at all.

...

"Hmm..."

In the ward, Mike slowly opened his eyes.

He cleared his dry throat, and just as he was about to pour a glass of water from the spring water, a mug was brought to his mouth.

Mike looked closely and found that Penelo was still with him.

But now Penelo has become much more haggard, with pale lips, swollen face, and the clothes on his body are still the ones he wore before going to bed.

Obviously, Penelo has not slept all the time.

After taking the water cup and sipping a few sips, Mike said:

"How long have I slept?"

Penelo: "Two days."

Mike: "You haven't slept all the time?"

Penelo: "..."

Looking at Penelo who bowed her head and said nothing, Mike sighed, said nothing, just reached out and touched Penelo's hair and said slowly:

"Thank you for your hard work."

Mike thought Penelo should throw herself into his arms as usual, just like a normal little woman.

But to his surprise, Penelope raised her head and said with a smile:

"It is indeed very hard, but fortunately, the rewards are also great."

"Oh?"

Mike became energetic and sat up from the bed.

Seeing this, Penelope smiled even more, and she twisted her body and continued:

"Our enemies are far weaker than we thought. Benjamin, Arthur and Franklin took people to their borders according to your instructions, and then I sent a warning letter to these magic ministries, asking them to pay war reparations. Then, they agreed."

"Really?"

"Of course! However, the detailed terms of the compensation agreement still need to be negotiated with the Ministry of Magic of Yingguo, and you need to come forward to preside over it." Penelope said with a smile, "Because you are still in a coma, this matter has been postponed. Now that you have woken up, I should notify them." After

that, Penelope leaned over and kissed Mike and walked quickly to the door.

Mike, who was lying on the bed, looked at Penelope's back, and the expression on his face was a little distressed.

Are Picqueri and the others cowardly? As soon as Arthur and his army arrived, they all surrendered?

How is this possible!

Mike has personally fought with these guys, and they can be said to be a group of hyenas!

Especially Picqueri, who is the best among the hyenas!

Although Penelope said it very lightly, Mike knew that there must be many difficult processes that were hidden.

Shaking his head, Mike called Victor.

This guy may think that he was scared by the previous confinement, and now he is still in a state of flattery and obedience to Mike.

Others may take Penelope's intentions into consideration and dare not tell the truth to Mike, but Victor will never do so.

After listening to Victor's account of the past two days, Mike realized that Penelope's situation in the past two days was much worse than he had imagined.

The main reason for this terrible situation is not the external enemies such as Picqueri, but from within.

In short, many people in the Ministry of Magic of Yingguo and Los Santos Group are very dissatisfied with Penelope being able to temporarily take over Mike's power! Of

course, Arthur and others are not among them.

Like Mike and Penelope, they are all Freemasons who have sworn the "Unforgivable Oath". Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not express it directly, let alone take action.

The guys mentioned above are all Muggle wizard elites who were entrusted with important tasks in the early and middle stages of the Los Santos Group.

These people put a lot of obstacles in Penelope's way in this operation.

And they controlled the timing very well, so that they did not affect the results of the main business, but also made Penelope extremely uncomfortable.

This is not surprising. The wizarding world is still a world where strength is respected. It is almost impossible to hold a high position here without sufficient hard power.

Especially in the current war period, the importance of strength has been infinitely magnified.

And although Penelope has been helping Mike deal with government affairs before, to be honest, Penelope has always played the role of silently paying, and dealt with some important but trivial matters. This makes her presence not strong.

Even now, many people in the Ministry of Magic and Los Santos Group of Yingguo do not know the existence of Penelope.

Imagine that a boss's wife who does not have enough strength and is not well-known suddenly announced that she would temporarily take charge of everything when the boss is in trouble.

What would you think?

Mike closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. This matter cannot be let go.

Although those guys who secretly put obstacles in the way are not guilty of death, they must be punished.

Mike forgot about the time when he thought about this, and only opened his eyes when Penelope pushed the door open again.

"Mike! I've already told them that the meeting will be held at the Ministry of Magic at 2 o'clock this afternoon!"

Penelope said excitedly, with two unhealthy blushes on her face.

Seeing this, Mike's heart skipped a beat again.

He forced a smile and said,

"Thank you for your hard work."
