Suddenly, a massive explosion rocked the factory, engulfing it in mes right before Dong Mingchao’s eyes. While he felt a wave of shock, he understood that such a significant incident required immediate reporting to the higher authorities.


    As the chaos intensified, heavy machinery began to explode, sending ming fuel tanks and mechanical debris flying into the air. The entire Duke Mining site resembled an extravagant fireworks disy.


    The explosions raged on. Amidst dodging falling debris, Dong Mingchao managed to capture photos of the scene and swiftly called his superior, a Tongzhi responsible for overseeing all resident envoys.


    At that moment, the Tongzhi was stationed at the Governor’s Office, monitoring the exchange te.


    Before him, arge screen disyed a map marked with numerous garrisons of the Right Army Governor’s Office, represented as bright spots. Each bright spot was connected by arcs to other locations, with outward arrows indicating the destinations for the first batch of Cavalry Guards being reced, while inward arrows marked their departure points.


    Since the garrisons were primarily located in Europe and Africa, and given the minimal time difference, the first round of exchanges was expected to conclude within the next six hours. His main task for the night was to ensure this process proceeded smoothly and on schedule.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Just as he awaited confirmation from the envoys regarding the readiness of the first exchange group, Dong Mingchao’s call came through.


    A sense of unease washed over the Tongzhi upon receiving the call, as all garrisons were scheduled tomence operations in ten minutes, precisely at midnight Moran time.


    Considering the first batch of Cavalry Guards had yet to depart, he wondered why the Moran envoy was reaching out.


    Despite his apprehension, he answered, “What’s the matter? Why are you calling me now?”


    Avoiding the falling debris, Dong Mingchao shouted, “Something major has urred, Mr. Tongzhi! Duke Mining… it has erupted into mes!”<fnd215> Read full story at find~novel</fnd215>


    “What?!” The Tongzhi felt as if he had plunged into icy water. He leaped from his seat, eximing, “What’s happening? Is there a safety incident?”


    “No!” Dong Mingchao nced at the raging inferno before him, murmuring, “This… it doesn’t seem like an ident. Everything is in ruins—the office building, the refinery, the warehouse, and dormitory. I think the office building has copsed…”


    “Damn it!” the Tongzhi eximed in a panic. “Could it be… could it be simr to what happened in Cyprus?!”


    As the special envoy to Moro, Dong Mingchao had heard whispers of the Cyprus incident, but he only knew what the media had reported. Uncertain of the specifics, he refrained from making any bold ims.


    After a moment of thought, he replied, “Sir, I have a live video of the incident. The explosion urred right after our arrival. The driving records in the vehicle should be clear. I’ll extract it and send it to you!”


    The Tongzhi urged, “Hurry! Send it to me!”


    “Understood, sir. Please hold on,” Dong Mingchao replied quickly.


    Then, he added, “By the way, sir, I suspect the enemy might be observing us nearby. Should I evacuate my team first?”


    The Tongzhi responded without hesitation, “Stay where you are and wait for me to consult themander-in-chief!”


    With that, the Tongzhi abruptly ended the call.


    Dong Mingchao felt a wave of frustration. He was well aware of the situation at Duke Mining, where over 10,000 individuals, including Cavalry Guards, Death Guards, and their families, were present. If the adversary could manage to devastate the entire Duke Mining facility, the few personnel he had with him would be insufficient. He realized that remaining there was tantamount to awaiting his demise.
