"With this equipment, I can handle it for half an hour, not to mention fifteen minutes!"

The shocked Mai Shutoku put Nono's mother on the sofa and said this.

The old housekeeper shook his head and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Su Enxi.

"No, they'll only hold out for fifteen minutes and then they'll retreat."

"Why do you say that?"

Mai Jutoku looked puzzled at Su Enxi, who seemed to have remembered something and was rubbing her head.

"This is a contract they signed with me, I mean the Romanov family. Once they encounter an army-level offensive, their mission is limited to holding on for fifteen minutes."

Su Enxi suddenly showed a clean look, as if she had recovered some memory.

"Are they mercenaries?"

Mai Shutoku realized this immediately, and then asked doubtfully.

"Sanwuniu actually hired a bunch of mercenaries to help her with housework?"

"It's the boss who's crazy!"

Su Enxi complained.

"He said that if there is a castle, there should be guards, so he specially arranged for these people. I paid for this project at the time, but it took so long that I forgot about it, and I only remember it now."

She didn't know at the time why Lu Mingze arranged for so many people to be placed here. It cost a lot to hire these people over the years.

Unexpectedly, this time, I actually used it myself.

"No matter what, this is a good thing!"

Mai Jutoku skillfully ignored Su Enxi's distressed look at Qian. Looking at the firearms around her, she felt much more at ease.

"The problem is that it will take at least six hours for Su Mo and the others to arrive, and the mercenaries can only last fifteen minutes."

Su Enxi shook her head, her expression still full of worry.

"Even if they don't take action now, even if they haven't started yet, there's no guarantee they won't take action later."

“Now we don’t shout ‘I am the black golden swan, who dares to kill me’?”

Mai Shutoku teased, and then said in a relaxed tone.

"Didn't Mr. Butler say that they also have connections in the Ministry of National Defense? Maybe when the other side dares to take action, our relationship will be in place."

After all, this is Moscow, if it gets too big, someone should take care of it...right?

"Although the relationship he mentioned is the Ministry of National Defense, you heard clearly that he was the 'former' Deputy Minister of Defense."

Su Enxi highlighted the key points with her tone of voice.

"My predecessors are also in the circle of high-ranking officials. There must be corresponding connections... Wait, looking at your expression, does it mean that 'former' does not refer to the previous deputy minister of defense, but the deputy minister of the previous government?"

Mai Shutoku was a little puzzled at first, but then she was slightly startled and came to her senses.

Wasn’t Russia’s previous dynasty the Soviet Union?

"yes!"

Su Enxi spread her hands helplessly.

"And he's the kind of old man who not only doesn't have any power, but is also under complete surveillance."

How can you kill an official of this dynasty with the sword of the previous dynasty? Even if the Romanov family does have a close personal relationship with the former Deputy Minister of Defense, having a good relationship with a prisoner in custody seems to be of no use.

"We'd better run away!"

Mai Shutoku immediately carried Nono's mother on her back again.

These teammates are reliable, but they are only available for a limited time, so you cannot rely entirely on them.

"There's no need to rush."

Su Enxi shook her head.

"No matter what, they can hold on for fifteen minutes. When the battle officially starts, we will have time to run again."

At the moment, the other side is only releasing tear gas and has not officially invaded. The two sides are in a state of confrontation, and this state does not count as time.

The real fifteen minutes will be counted when the exchange of fire begins. A stingy person like Su Enxi will naturally not let others take advantage of her in a treaty.

At the moment, it seems that the opponent is still waiting for them to come out and will not attack rashly, so they can definitely delay for more than fifteen minutes.

"But you can't last six hours like this, right?"

Mai Shutoku looked outside the palace gate and heard the sound of another tank arriving. This kind of overlord during the Cold War is a very difficult obstacle even now. The weapons they have can at most paralyze it and penetrate the armor.

It's a bit difficult.

I don’t know if it’s possible to use Mingzhao to get through during the melee. Although the opponent already knows about her voice spirit, they shouldn’t take that much into consideration during the melee, right?

"So sit down and think about it slowly! It seems like they are not afraid of me at all. They should be able to hold on for an hour."

Su Enxi simply sat down on the sofa.

"Besides, your speaking spirit has been exposed. The probability of you relying on your speaking spirit to get through is very slim, so don't even think about it!"

The head maid not far away immediately put down the submachine gun in her hand with a wink. After wiping the hand that was still holding the gun clean, she picked up a silver spoon and helped Su Enxi make black tea. It must be said that she made the tea.

Tea technology is quite good.

"Master Hala!"

Su Enxi took a sip of black tea and smiled in greeting.

The head maid looked at Mai Shutoku, as if she wanted to ask her if she wanted a drink too.

Jiude Mai originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, Su Enxi's words seemed to make sense, so she put down Nono's mother and sat down.

"Thanks!"

After thanking the head maid for the black tea, Jutoku Mai looked at Su Enxi beside her.

"So, is there any way you can hold on longer? You don't seem to have any clue."

Based on her experience, Su Enxi would not be so calm if there was absolutely nothing she could do.

But if there was a complete solution, Su Enxi would definitely be much prouder than she is now, and her current state is somewhere in between.

"I do have a clue. I can delay it for at least another fifteen minutes, but I haven't made up my mind yet."

Su Enxi said with a troubled expression.

Seeing her so confused, Mai Shutoku was a little confused.

"What can I do? Looking at you like this, could it be that you are not just a simple civilian, but have some hidden skills, but you need to consume your life to activate the skills?"

Since the boss is not online, there is no need to think about the gift of blood. We can only consider other means.

"You can probably say that!"

Su Enxi nodded and agreed with Jiude Mai's conjecture.

"What are the specific side effects? If the cost is too high, let's forget it. It's just that fifteen minutes may not be able to reverse the situation. We can think of other ways. There is no need to waste lives."

Mai Shutoku immediately shook her head. She had no habit of sacrificing her teammates to help her escape.

After hearing her words, Su Enxi was obviously a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not that expensive, it's just that the cost is a bit high."

Seeing her expression, Mai Shutoku realized something.

She turned around, grabbed Su Enxi's shoulders, and looked at this guy in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

"Don't tell me you care about money!"

Su Enxi lowered her head in embarrassment and said nothing, which was an answer in itself.

"How much will it cost?"

Shutoku Mai forced to ask.

"With so many people and a temporary increase in money, it will take at least several million dollars to get them to agree!"

Su Enxi said distressedly.

The gold content of the U.S. dollar these days is still very high, not as high as in later generations.

"Millions...you, a man with a trillion dollar net worth, are actually reluctant to pay millions. What is more important, money or life?"

Jiu De and Ma Yi were so angry that they laughed.

"It's all important... Okay, don't glare at me. I didn't say I won't spend money, I'm just doing some psychological construction! How can you two guys who spend money like water understand the hard work I have to earn back every penny!"

Su Enxi whispered.

She wasn't so stupid that she wanted money rather than her life. In fact, she thought of this move after remembering that she was a mercenary. It was just because she was too stingy that she took her time.

"If I remember correctly, 90% of your money was stolen from the Gattuso family."

Mai Shutoku complained coldly.
