On the evening of January 3,

The lighthouse on the southeast coast of Eternal Wings shimmers brightly in the dark night sky.

The warships of the first and second detachments of the combined fleet were riding the wind and waves on the sea, and the huge fleet formed a swallow-shaped formation and sailed southwest at a very fast speed.

On the second deck of the Flying Flight, the commander of the wing, Colonel Barker, looked out at the dark sea in the distance, since Viscount Ake was assassinated, he always liked to be alone here, his original clean naval uniform was now covered in dirt... He hadn't had a break in days.

The assassin who assassinated Viscount Aker had confessed, but as expected, he knew nothing.

"Colonel. Adjutant Captain Mellot came from the side, "Everything is fine!"

"Everything is normal is not normal. Buck frowned, "Viscount Ake's death is not a trivial matter, do you think that our blockade alone can really seal the news so tightly?"

Captain Merlot looked down and thought for a moment and said, "No, unless you kill everyone who was there at the time." ”

"My friend, we're in the Navy now, not pirates!" Buck pulled out his pipe, but when he opened it, he found it soaking wet, so he could only take two puffs, "Brothers, be on guard, our enemies are more patient than I thought." ”

"Colonel—" Merlot stopped talking.

Buck wiped a pair of greasy hands on his clothes and said, "Just say anything, you should know my character very well." ”

Mellot looked down and thought, "I don't think the rats in the shadows will come out again... Because their goal has already been achieved, Viscount Ake is their target, and as for the Combined Fleet..."He took a deep breath, "Without Viscount Ake, do you think we alone can command the fourth and fifth detachments?"

"What do you mean?" Buck seemed to grab a sharp grasp of something, but it was a little vague.

Captain Melo mused, "Those men are targeting the fourth and fifth detachments!"

"Huh?" Buck was shocked, everything that had happened in the last few days flashed through his mind in an instant, and then his face changed and he cursed: "Damn! Damn! Mary the sea god is on top, why didn't you say it earlier!"

"I've just thought of it. Captain Merlot bowed his head, he had indeed just thought about it.

Buck didn't bother to blame Merlot at all, and he asked, "When did the latest news from the third team come from and what was it?"

"Ten hours ago, Sergeant Aymanzuo claimed that they were converging the fourth and fifth detachments, and that they were expected to join us tomorrow morning. "Captain Merlot kept this in mind.

"The specific location..."Buck's voice increased imperceptibly: "I need to know the specific location of the third detachment now, you don't tell me, the third detachment did not report the specific location." ”

"This... Not really!"

"Then send an inquiry, I need to know the exact location of the third, fourth, and fifth detachments. Buck stared at the calm sea ahead, "I have a bad feeling. ”

...

meanwhile

On the plains east of the town of Yekjar, a corps of magical warriors sent by Eternal Wings is marching quickly under the cover of night, and the target is naturally the military port of Yekjar, which is holding the choke point of the Suk Plain.

At two o'clock in the morning, when the army marched to the hilly terrain on the eastern edge of the town of Yekjar, it encountered the elven two thousand rangers who were secretly stationed there, and a fierce battle began in an instant.

An hour later, news of the presence of Elven Ranger stationed at the Yekjar Military Harbor reached the headquarters of the Mage Tower.

Then, word reached the castle of Kawar in Crewe.

Four o'clock in the morning,

Pedi is woken up by rumors that his MI chief is waking up.

In the slightly humid study, the young ruler listened to Baron Danmen's report with a gloomy face and said: "30,000 gold coins before and after, this is the money I have spent in the military intelligence department at present!"

His voice was low and soft, as if he were talking to a friend about an inconsequential joke.

However, Baron Danmen felt his scalp tingle, and he lowered his head, "I'm very sorry, my lord. ”

"Whew," Pedi let out a long breath and closed his eyes and was silent for a few minutes, then asked, "Where is the Combined Fleet now?"

He is in no mood to hold MIA accountable right now.

Baron Danmen was stunned for a moment, and said in his mind: "The five detachments of the Combined Fleet are expected to meet in two hours in the sea southeast of the Mage Tower, and the location should be near Levy Island. ”

"Lefu Island?" Pei Di stood up and walked to the map on the wall directly opposite the desk in the study, and frowned as he found the location of Lefu Island, "How can it be so slow, with the speed of the Combined Fleet, it is now close to the port of Luoxin." ”

"Colonel Barker deliberately slowed down the fleet, he..."

The conversation between the two was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door, and the voice of the knight on duty of the knightly guard sounded outside, "Lord Baron, Police Chief Cowlier and Deputy Chief Don Wright are asking to see you outside the castle. ”

Hearing this, Pei Di subconsciously looked at the wall clock on the wall next to him, and the pointer on it pointed to half past four!

"Let them in. Pedi shouted at the door, and then he looked at Baron Danmen, "What important case is the police department investigating right now?"

"You brought the police to the attention of the police at the last meeting the situation in the Hoko Islands. Baron Danmen replied, "As for the case, only Baron Aemond's five hundred thousand gold coins and—" he was only halfway through his words, for Pedi had already prevented him from going on.

Pedi suddenly felt that his whole body was hot, and he walked to the window and opened the tightly closed window..."Whew" The cold wind suddenly blew into the study, and a cold feeling soaked Pedi's whole body between the swaying of the candle flame and the wall fire.

Outside, several knights of the castle's knights' guards had already started their morning exercises on the school grounds, and the light from the torches in the hands of the nearby guards patrolling the castle was very dazzling under the dark night sky.

"Suction"

"Whew"

Pedi gulped in the clean, cold air of the winter morning, the lobes of his lungs became cold between his breaths, and his pounding heart slowly eased.

The knock on the door soon sounded again.

"Come in!" Pedi turned, his face blown pale by the cold wind, oozing like a legendary vampire in the dim light.

Collier bowed, came in and glanced at Baron Danmen, stunned for a moment, then walked quickly to Pedi and saluted solemnly: "My lord." His actions stunned Don Wright, who was following behind, and finally had to salute like Collier.

"What news did you bring with you?" asked Pedi directly.

"It's news from the Hoko Islands. Cowlier hurriedly said, "There was a large-scale bloody clash in the Hoko Islands on the day of the 'Winter Festival', and the agents initially estimated that someone was carrying out a coup d'état, but the specific situation is unknown, and the group of 'fishermen' kept the news very tight." ”

"Coup d'état?Are the nobles of the Hoko Islands stupid by the werewolves?" Pedi frowned, "The army of werewolves is about to arrive under the gates of Nikes City, and they are still in the mood to fight for power?"

"I don't know..."Just when Cowlier's old problem was about to attack, Pedi immediately scolded: "Say it quickly!"

"The nobles of the Hoko Islands have kept the news under strict control, and they have ordered that all the inhabitants of the island must not leave their houses for the next three days, and now that the main roads of Harvey Island are under martial law, the whole city of Nix is like a dead city. "The last subpoena we received claimed that a space interception circle had been set up around the islands, so we won't even be able to get a glimpse of the Hoko Islands in the next few days. ”

Pedi's mind suddenly became very confused, and he subconsciously asked, "Is there anything else?"

"And—" Cowlier suddenly smiled suspiciously, "the nobles on the island restricted everyone's travel, but someone had to do something for him, so they recruited a large number of serfs..."

"Tell the point!" Pedi looked at Don Wright, "You say." ”

"There are serfs who have seen werewolves in the city of Nikes, and they claim that those werewolves and the nobles in the city are talking and laughing!" It may be that Don Wright also couldn't stand Cowlier's way of speaking, so he said the main thing in the most direct way.

Tang Wright's words made Pei Di stunned, and the Baron Danmen next to him suddenly grabbed the words at this time: "The words of the serfs can't be taken seriously, they love to lie the most... Remember the most famous 'Nofitel incident', the serf who changed history!"

Pedi was lost in thought, he walked to the couch next to him and sat down, and played with the ruby ring on his thumb before asking, "Can you confirm the information?"

Don Wright replied simply, "Not for the time being...", and then explained: "In the next three days, the Hoko Islands will not send any information back. ”

"Two. Baron Danmen frowned, "Do you know what this information means?" he pointed to the military port of Yekjar on the map, "Our allies have been attacking here for a few hours, and according to the news that the elves have stationed at least one outpost there!"

Baron Danmen stared at Don Wright, "The Mage Tower is discussing an increase in troops...", he said as he drew a large circle with his hand on the map, "Your intelligence will completely change the situation in the south of the entire continent... Whether the Yekgyel military port is worth investing heavily in troops, and whether the 4th and 5th detachments of the combined fleet can be trusted also needs to be reconsidered,"

"And these cannot be judged by the information provided by the serfs alone. Baron Danmen's face was serious, "Under normal circumstances, this kind of information may have to be confirmed at least three times before it can be of reference value. ”

"You're talking about the general situation madness, but the current situation is special. "War is inherently full of uncertainty, and if all important information needs to be confirmed more than three times, then the time spent will have already made the intelligence itself lose its original value. ”

"Do you know what intelligence is?" Baron Danmen's voice suddenly became a little sharp after hearing Cowlier's words, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "You will only talk about boring topics with the nobles in the office. ”

"Are you accusing me of dereliction of duty?" said Cowlier, with a sudden smile on his face.

Baron Danmen snorted coldly, "I'm recounting a fact!"

"You—" Cowlier's voice stopped abruptly.

For, Petdy stood up suddenly, and made a gesture to shut up, and then he went to his desk and sat down, and said, "Leave your information behind, and let Sir Bowenlet, the Marquis de Daisier, and the Knight of Cyla come to my study." ”

He now needs a moment to think alone about the problems and choices he faces.

The questions are complicated, but the decision has to be fast!

...

Before half past five, the three of them appeared in front of Pei Di's eyes one after another.

Pedi looked at the three of them and threw the information brought by the military intelligence department and the police department in front of them, and said: "I will not make any changes to the plan of attacking the Yekjel military port, and now, in the face of possible variables, what do you think?" ”

After waiting for the three of them for nearly an hour, Pedi made a choice, he still stubbornly wanted to have a war in the military port of Yekjer!(https:)
