Chapter 2569: Mystery Caravan

"You better not let the Baron hear you." Masaoka Kudo sneered. "He will mistake you for your ambition."
"You are wrong again. The Baron is never afraid of his ambitions, and he only appreciates ambitious people." Conan looked at Kudo Masaoka.
Kudo Masaoka smiled, but did not speak. At this time, the communicator he placed next to him suddenly rang. He looked at it, and immediately grabbed it and put it in his ear, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"This is Surveillance Post No. 3. We observed movement on the road." The communicator replied.
"What? Are the Anmor people? Is it impossible that they repaired the road so quickly?!" Kudo Masaoka was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in this transport team?"
"No. Captain, it doesn't seem to be a transport team. This convoy seems to be a little sneaky, try to avoid the road. And they don't come from Anmore City, but seem to go from Alkane to Anmore City." The member of the post responded.
"What? They came from Alkahn? How many people are there? What scale?" Kudo Masaoka's expression changed. The city of Anmore has always been sending supplies to Alkane, and I have never heard of anything from the front of Alkane to the city of Anmore. The appearance of this team made him puzzled.
"The number of people seems to be small. It should be around dozens of people. They are a bit sneaky. They seemed to be walking on small roads before, but now they appear on Highway 9. Most of them are armed pickup trucks. The speed is not fast. They seem to be cautious. The state seems to be protecting one of the armored vehicles." The secret agency member of the surveillance post continued to report, "It seems to be a wheeled armor."
"Armed pickups to protect wheeled armored vehicles?" Kudo Masaoka was even more stunned. "What kind of armored vehicle."
"It should be an 8×8 wheeled armored vehicle. The distance is too far. The specific model is unknown. It seems that it has never been seen in the Anmor Army." The secret society members continued to report.
"Well, where are they?" Kudo Masaoka asked.
"They just got on Route 9, and they seemed to be worried about an attack. The two armed pickup trucks in front cleared the way before the vehicles behind were willing to follow up. It seems to be a typical protective formation. Captain, what are we going to do?" Please indicate.
Masaoka Kudo rolled his eyes, "Don't be exposed, keep watch. Take pictures of the characteristics of the armored car, and then ask the headquarters to see what the origin of this armored car is?"
"Understood." The communicator fell silent.
"What's the matter?" Conan asked with a frown.
"A strange motorcade was found on the highway, which seems to be coming out of Alkane to Anmor City." Kudo Masaoka whispered.
"The team from Alkarn? This is a bit strange." Conan frowned. "Is it because you want to go to Anmore City to request supplies?"
"It's not like, if so, it should be a convoy of large trucks. But now all of them are armed pickup trucks, and there is also a wheeled armored vehicle. It's not like transporting supplies, it's like covering some important person. "Kudo Masaoka groaned. "According to our people, the marching formation of the convoy is a protective formation."
"Weird." Conan paced back and forth. "These Anmor Army's equipment should not be equipped with a large number of armored vehicles. And if there are, they have never seen it before when they were fighting with us?"
"Wait, the data is coming." Masaoka Kudo looked at the tactical computer next to him, and a low-resolution photo appeared vaguely on it. "Damn it, the distance is a bit far, I can see a lot of it clearly." Kudo Masaoka frowned.
"This is the armored car and other vehicles?" Conan's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Kudo Masaoka asked. "Is there something wrong?"
"They are in a guard formation and seem to be protecting the armored car in the middle." Conan's eyes were a little unpredictable.
"Yes, but what the are they doing? Protect an armored vehicle with an armored truck with almost no protective capabilities?" Kudo Masaoka shook his head.
Conan said solemnly, "Maybe, something has happened."
"What's wrong?" Kudo Masaoka asked quickly.
"Although I haven't seen this armored vehicle, I have seen this kind of armed pickup truck. Did you see the paint on it? This is the logo of the Anmore Army Loyalty Camp." Conan whispered.
"Loyalty camp?" Kudo Masaoka frowned.
"Yes, the Loyalty Battalion is the subordinate of General Kasan of the Fifth Army. It is one of his most proud units. This unit is equipped with small armed trucks, excellent maneuverability, and is built by Rogan. The general is composed of soldiers from the same town. So it is named the Loyalty Battalion. Kassan himself was also from the Loyalty Battalion, so the soldiers in these vehicles should be the confidants of General Kassan. At this time, these multiple armed vehicles of the Loyalty Battalion , Escorting an armored car to appear here. It is really suspicious." Conan whispered.
"Kazan? Didn't he take over Kadom recently and become the commander-in-chief of the enemy's defense in Alkahn?" Kudo Masaoka said.
"This is the person." Conan nodded.
"You said, could it be..." Kudo Masaoka's eyes lit up.
At this time the communicator thought again, and the secret agency militants at the observation post whispered a report, "After confirmation, this armored vehicle is a Leopard armored vehicle produced in Turkey. There is no record of this type of armored vehicle in the Anmor Army. . It’s the private car of General Kasan, the commander of the Anmore Fifth Army."
"General Kazan, private car?!" Masaoka Kudo suddenly jumped in his heart, turning his head to look at Conan, "You said, the person in the armored car is General Kazan himself?"
"Kasan?" Conan frowned. "This is really hard to say. According to the truth, he is now in charge of Alkane's overall defense command, and it is impossible to leave Alkane. But this person has a bad reputation. Well, he is good at fighting tailwinds, and when the battlefield situation is bad, he often leads his troops to flee. So he was ridiculed as an escape general."
"It's been a week since we cut off the supply from Anmore City to Alkane. Could it be that the supply pressure in the city is too high and Anmore's troops are no longer sustainable? And this escaped general quietly planned to flee. Anmor Castle?" Masaoka Kudo asked in a low voice.
Conan shook his head and said, "That's not right, if he wants to retreat, why is there such a small number of people and sneaking away?"
"This is his cleverness. Once he retreats with a big fanfare, he will definitely be pursued by our army. At that time, the army will be defeated and he may not be able to escape. It is better to leave the large army here. Pretending to be persevering, and then evacuate first. After he is safe, order the whole army to retreat. This is safe, and no one can hold him to flee. At most, he can only say that he was defeated." Kudo Masaoka narrowed his eyes. Sneered.
