Upheaval at Bosuvius Castle, two days ago.

Imperial Army Command, High Military Council.

"Your Majesty, the rebel Bosuvi's castle is still a day and a half away. The castle was built by the Duke of Bersuvius over a period of many years, and the walls were so thick that it would take a lot of effort to storm it, and we thought it would be useful to discuss specific tactics. A chieftain-level Imperial General spoke.

Nicholas IV shook his head slightly: "There is one more important thing to do before deciding on the attack. ”

After a pause, Nicholas said, "The monster Drow Elf that has emerged from the ground is currently entrenched in a dark corner of Xisha Province, waiting for us to attack us after the battle with the Xisha rebels. Although with the strength of the Imperial Army, they would not be afraid of those pointy-eared monsters in a frontal battle, but if the other side launched a surprise attack when our army was in disarray, the consequences would be difficult to predict. ”

The senior officers in the camp looked at each other and talked softly.

Basically, everyone was in favor of the Emperor's assertions.

"We need to send a search team, one north and one south, to search in batches to find the Drow elf forces and make sure that these monsters don't have a chance to sneak up on us. Nicholas steered the conversation further, "So, which two are willing to carry out this mission?"

The senior officers bowed their heads and remained silent.

The rumors of underground monsters have always been brutal and ruthless. The search team has a lot of manpower, if it really encounters the Drow Elves, the consequences can be imagined - not to mention facing the enemy, it is a fortune to be able to run back, and the biggest possibility is to be captured and killed by the Drow Elves.

Seeing the officers' prevarication, Nicholas IV's face was grim: "Why, no one is willing to do such a slightly dangerous task? You are still not imperial soldiers, where has your sense of honor gone?"

Seeing that there was still no one in the camp who took the initiative to ask for help, Nicholas IV sighed: "Forget it, it is really not good for you to carry out this kind of mission that may send you to death. Then put on hold on to the offensive plan...... Build a camp outside Bo Suvi Castle to prepare for a long battle. ”

Suddenly, a tall and thin Imperial officer stood up and said, "I, Cirek Barnet, am willing to share your Majesty's worries, please allow me to lead an army to patrol south!"

Another sturdy officer was not to be outdone: "I am also willing to fight for Your Majesty and undertake the heavy task of searching north!"

"Good. ”

Nicholas IV breathed a sigh of relief, "The two generals are really models of the Empire. Remember, as soon as you discover the location of the Drow Legion, report it to me via the Magic Communication Rune, and tell me where it is. ”

With that, Nicholas IV also asked the guards to hand over two magical communication runes that could not be brought out of the Kane plane to the two officers who took the initiative to ask for help.

"The whole army is ready, and early tomorrow morning, march to the city of Besuvius!" Nicholas IV, who had relieved his worries, gave the order in high spirits.

......

The upheaval at Berevius Castle, a day ago.

The two Imperial officers, who took the initiative to take on the search mission, met secretly before leaving.

"I've already sent the information to the team leader Andre through the magic raven. Said the sturdy officer.

The tall and thin officer named Hirik Barnett glanced around and rebuked in a low voice: "Nazm, why don't you follow the main force of the Imperial Army?

Nazm sneered: "Cilik, why don't you follow the main force, but take the initiative to ask for orders to lead the search team?"

Cirick frowned and said, "The situation is obvious, no one in the Imperial Army is willing to take on this dangerous task. If Nicholas IV had postponed his attack and set up camp, the strategic plan developed by the Captain would have been thwarted. The time limit for the third main quest is not many days, and the emperor's determination to attack the city must be solidified!"

After a pause, Ciric said, "Besides, if I hadn't taken over the search mission and had other spirit figures lead the search, in case they were really discovered, the Drow Elven Legion would have been stationed in the southern Elijah Valley...... The siege plan will inevitably be interrupted! The time limit for the third main quest is not many days, and we must stabilize the emperor's determination to attack the city!"

"Yes, so in both directions, one north and one south, someone needs to stand up. Nazim said lazily.

Cilik snorted: "After I stand up, the emperor can appoint another person to search to the north! So, there's absolutely no need for you to come forward. Nazm, with your IQ, I don't believe you do bad things with good intentions...... You did it on purpose!"

Nazm sneered, "Come on, Shirik, you think you're the only one smart?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what you mean," Nazm shook his stout neck, "don't think I'm uneducated. The Boss's Raven Messenger has already said that there are still awakened people in the Imperial camp who do not belong to Class 129, and they have already conducted an interrogation in the Central Province, and the two straw bales of Jett and Morgan have been driven out of the Kane plane, missing the opportunity for this great unification!"

Nazim continued: "Staying in the main force of the Imperial Army, sooner or later you will encounter other awakened ones and then be recognized, in other words, there is a danger of exposure at any time. What if I was lucky enough not to be exposed?When I attacked Besuvius Castle, the necromantic plague broke out, and I had to be driven out of Kane, otherwise I would become a plague undead and lose my qualification as an Awakened!"

"You can look for an opportunity to get out before you attack the city. Chirik said.

"Hmph, on a passenger plane with a bomb installed, I finally got a parachute, don't jump right away, do you have to wait until the plane is about to explode to play with a heartbeat?" Nazm shrugged, "I'm sorry, I don't have a hobby of making Hollywood blockbusters." ”

Nazm spread his hands: "In short, Nicholas IV has ordered a march to attack the city, as an emperor, it is impossible for him to change his order overnight, and the plan formulated by the team leader will definitely succeed, so wait and see, Uncle Ben is not interested in arguing with you about anything." ”

Cirick gritted his teeth, but to no avail. The two awakened people who entered as imperial officers and were actually members of the intelligence group of Class 129 of the Shenting Training Camp each led dozens of cavalrymen to part ways in the north and south.

......

Time reverts back to the present.

Mountains to the north.

Looking at the green smoke rising from Besuvius Castle, Nazm the Awoken pressed his finger on his left chest: "Amen." ”

Walking down the hill, Nazm was in a happy mood: "That fox of Cirik, do you really think Uncle Ben is a muscular and simple-minded idiot? ”

"Lord Nazm, cavalry has appeared in the Southern Valley. An Imperial soldier reported.

"Hmm, is it our people, or is it the Xisha rebels?" Nazm still faithfully played the role of a high-ranking imperial officer.

"It's our allies. ”

"Friendly troops, how could they be at this time. Nazim secretly wondered, but out of courtesy, he still led the crowd to greet him.

"General Adolphus, why are you here?" Nazm was shocked when he saw the general at the front of the cavalry ranks. Adolphus was a diehard loyalist of the emperor and was a viscount.

Viscount Adolphus didn't give Nazim a good face at all, and the soldiers under his command copied it left and right, surround Nazm.

"Your Majesty decreed that Nazm Gaunt had committed treason to the enemy, and the evidence was conclusive, and ordered me to lead an army to eliminate the traitors, and to execute them on the spot without being captured. The soldiers of the search party are innocent, but they are not allowed to obstruct law enforcement. Action!"
