Chapter 3694 Battlefield Rumors

These rumors are still spreading, and they are spreading rapidly. Freeman has to make a phone call to explain the whole story.

He did not deliberately clarify the facts. These things were not clear in the first place. The more he explained, the more he showed that he had something to hide.

The words of his subordinates just now reminded Freeman that there must be someone with ulterior motives who was trying to sow discord and arouse these people's hostility towards him.

How could Freeman be easily fooled by such a clumsy method? The most important thing is to keep calm and not lose his composure.

"I have heard all these rumors from the outside world, but I don't need to explain anything more. It was not done by me, Freeman."

"Is this really the case with Freeman? The death of the employer was indeed unexpected."

Freeman called a friend. He had cooperated with his mercenary group and took on the bounty mission. In the end, Freeman embezzled all the mercenaries and put them into his own pocket.

The bounty mission had just ended. When Freeman was collecting the bounty, his employer had an accident and died in an explosion.

If the employer died, then the next bounty would naturally not be available. He did not ask about it afterwards. Both parties suffered casualties during the mission, which was considered a mistake in this mission.

But after the rumor appeared today, he began to feel something unusual in his heart. Why didn't he get the bounty? Freeman's face was so calm at the time. This was not like Freeman's style.

Six people died on his side, and he didn't see a penny in the end. If these bounties were indeed embezzled by Freeman himself, then he would become the stupidest person in the world.

"How many years have you and I been friends? Don't you believe what I say? Do you want to question me here?"

Freeman's tone was very firm, insisting that this matter had nothing to do with him. The reason why the rumor was called a rumor was because no evidence was found.

"If I had taken the bounty, I would have told you clearly at that time. When I took the bounty that day, I almost died in the impact of the explosion."

"I hope this is just a rumor. We have cooperated many times, and there may be opportunities to fight side by side in the future. I hope you don't lie to me."

The other party questioned Freeman on the phone, and was calmed down by Freeman's words. Without catching any handle, the other party couldn't say anything more.

If this is really just a rumor, it is impossible to face Freeman. Now Freeman's Flame Mercenary Group has such a strong strength, and he still expects Freeman to help him in the future.

"Don't worry, I, Freeman, will never deceive my friends."

After hanging up the phone, Freeman breathed a sigh of relief. He had already sent people to inquire around, looking for the place where the rumors were spread, and who was plotting against him behind the scenes.

But when he sent those people out, the people who spread the rumors had already received the news and retreated to a hidden place in advance.

In addition, it was not in the base of the Flame Mercenary Group, so it was extremely difficult to find a person. After searching for nothing, he had to give up.

Just as Freman was trying to deal with the rumors from the outside world, Duan Zhisheng on the other side took a few people to the vicinity of Freman's base.

With the clues provided by Perod, he easily avoided the sentries set up around the base. For Duan Zhisheng at this moment, sneaking into the base was like entering an empty space.

The purpose of his trip was very simple, which was to create chaos here, and at the same time put all the responsibilities on others to provoke a fight between the two mercenary groups.

"Perod's memory is really strong. The layout of the base is exactly the same as the map he drew. This saves a lot of effort."

Duan Zhisheng stayed in a low bush and found the exit of the underground passage under a thorn tree.

At the beginning, an armed force dug a passage to use it during retreat. The point that Freman ignored became the biggest gap in his defense.

"Dig it up here."

The two of them took the engineer shovel and dug the hole in a short while. Duan Zhisheng was not in a hurry to let people enter it, but waited outside first.

The underground passage had not been opened for ventilation for a long time, and there must be a lack of oxygen inside. After a while, Duan Zhisheng was the first to jump in to explore the situation.

Although this underground passage has been abandoned for a long time, there is soil falling above the passage, which looks safe.

After confirming that there is no danger, Duan Zhisheng sent a message to let others follow closely, and Hongniang stayed behind to respond in time in case of an emergency.

Through this simple underground passage, at the other end, as Perod said, it was simply covered with a piece of canvas, and Duan Zhisheng carefully went out from behind the canvas.

Just saw a member of the mercenary group guarding in front, stepped forward to break the other party's neck, and dragged the person into the underground passage.

Everyone gathered together. In order to ensure that the task can be completed successfully this time, some good hands were brought, Duan Zhisheng instructed everyone.

"Remember what I said. This time we are here to cause trouble for them, not to really fight. After we are done, we will immediately look for an opportunity to retreat."

"Understood!"

"Once we are caught, no matter who among us is, it means the failure of the operation, and it will only anger Fremen."

If the frame-up fails, they will provoke two terrible opponents, and such a result will be even more troublesome for them.

After understanding the importance of this, Duan Zhisheng led his men to sneak into the base of the Flame Mercenary Group along the weakest defense.

Creating chaos and trouble is the most direct purpose of this mission. Everyone carries a time bomb and looks for a suitable location to place it.

Freeman sent people to investigate the rumors, and never thought that someone would sneak into his territory at this time.

The spread of rumors has already given Freeman a headache. It was just an insignificant rumor, and he has personally called to explain it.

But Freeman overlooked one point. There is a saying that people's words are scary, and the speed of rumor spread exceeded his expectations.

It doesn't matter if one person says this, but when a hundred or a thousand people come to discuss it, even if the matter itself does not exist, people tend to think it is true.

Freeman was caught up in the rumors and couldn't get out of it. Explaining them further would only make things worse, so he simply handed the phone to his subordinates. Whenever anyone called, he would say he was busy and had no time.
