Chapter 4: A Strange Assassination

On the endless plain, tens of thousands of cavalry galloped, like a thunderous sound and the feeling of constant vibration made the enemies all retreat, and the rebels and the cultists of the evil gods who were bumped into could not escape the fate of death, during this time, what happened to the people of the Saran Empire has completely angered the soldiers of the Kansi Fortress, especially the daughter of Marshal Leon's friend, Hisali, who was actually abducted within their control, which was equivalent to a slap in the face.

"Lord Leon, it's nearly noon. ”

"Pass my order, all the soldiers are encamped on the spot," Marshal Leon said, looking at the sun in the sky, to the heralds, "and after camping, check the vicinity, the enemy is constantly popping up during this time, and they must have a stronghold somewhere." ”

"Yes!" the herald saluted, then turned and ran to deliver the order.

Watching his subordinates quickly set up the camp tent, Leon frowned slightly, he led the legion to sweep back and forth on this land so many times, obviously there should be no fish that slipped through the net, but the current situation is that every time they sweep here, some enemies will appear, although it looks like they arrived from other places, but this place has been swept so much, if these people think about it a little, they will not run over to die.

At the moment of the marshal's irritability, two magicians walked up to him, they are the two archmages affiliated to the Cancy Fortress, although they are not as good as Adrian and Ian Morris of the Elsa School of Magic and Magic in terms of magic attainments, but they are enough to rank in the top ten in the entire Saran Empire, even the unstoppable Kenobali von Diss Quemas, who had hijacked nobles everywhere before, had to temporarily retreat if he encountered them, and such a strong man sitting in the Cancy Fortress was naturally indestructible.

When Marshal Leon came to disturb him when he was irritable, the two of them naturally had something important to discuss.

"Lord Leon?"

"I'll talk about it later, I'm here ... Leon just wanted to say something, but when he raised his head, he found that it was these two, and immediately said: "It's Kirkin and Negru, did you find something?"

"We just discovered that there seems to be a strong magic interference fluctuation in this vicinity, and it is really a shame to use such a strong magic to interfere with the enchantment in this kind of place, you must know that there was no such level of enchantment here before, and the enemy's stronghold is likely to be here. ”

"Oh, can you be sure?" Leon quickly got up, he was waiting for news about the enemy's stronghold, although Duke Cerver only suggested that he squeeze the living space of these evil god believers, but if he could take advantage of the situation to destroy their stronghold, why not, as for whether this would make the enemy kill those nobles, this Leon did not expect.

In the end, Leon, who was in charge of the Cancy Fortress, was handsome but only militarily, he was not a politician, he did not understand the internal political disputes, and his primary goal was to destroy the enemy as soon as possible, so to speak, even if the Duke of Cerver did not write to him, he would send troops, but then he would inform Guano II in advance, maybe the emperor would stop him, but he would continue to send troops on the grounds that the generals would not obey the military orders abroad.

"The probability is as high as ninety percent, and it is worth trying to search, and there is no responsibility in case the marshal makes a mistake, after all, the establishment of such an easily misunderstood barrier in such a sensitive place at such a time is itself a violation of our wartime laws. Kirkin nodded, and it had taken him and Negru a long time to determine the location of the barrier.

"Okay, let's give the order, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone will conduct a carpet search of this area in small groups, and once we find the stronghold of the cultists of the evil gods, we will immediately exterminate it," Leon took out a map, looked at the direction where they were now, and said in a deep voice: " There are mountains on one side and plains on the other, if I were the so-called Great Priest, I would definitely set the entrance to the stronghold in the mountains, no matter what, at least the role of the cavalry has disappeared, once the entrance is found, send the most elite assault team in, if it is in the mountains, then each person will carry some explosives, if in danger the whole mountain will blow up, then the stronghold will be finished, and then send people to other parts of the mountain to find other breakthroughs, ready to rescue people and search for them. ”

"This has to be established if the enemy sets up a stronghold in the mountains, what if it is underground and the entrance is in the plains? Maybe it is still possible to use bombs, but there is still a risk, once the hostages are also here, it will be a lot of fun. Negro reminded that just then, the herald had galloped over again.

"What's wrong? So panicked. ”

"Report to Lord Leon, there have been unknown casualties in the 3rd Regiment of the 76th Army. The herald reported.

"Unknown casualties? Did the cultists do it? Find out the murderer as soon as possible. Leon said very calmly, it is normal for unknown casualties to occur during this time, and the abilities of the evil god believers are very strange, although all legions are now prepared, but the evil god believers are unable to prevent it.

"Lord Leon... The problem is that we didn't find any traces of the murderer, although the deceased were all ** pierced to death, but there was not even a drop of blood or footprints around, it was a woodland. ”

"Take me to see it. Leon realized that something was not quite right, it stands to reason that even the most powerful assassins would leave at least a trace of footprints or magical breath, even if these marks would not help detection, but at least there were, and now this situation was equivalent to telling him that the soldiers were committing suicide, because only then would there be no traces around, and followed the herald out, and the two archmages looked at each other and followed.

The distance between the deceased was not close before, the distance between the two people reached ten meters, but they could easily see each other's situation, and their expressions when they died were not so much calm as usual, as if they did not notice the arrival of danger, which can only be caused by killing everyone at this moment before the person reacts.

"It's strange, the magic traces around have been artificially destroyed, although it is normal for the enemy to destroy the evidence in order to cover up the facts, but this destruction is too complete, it has not been a long time since our troops were encamped, did the murderer want to go to heaven after doing so many things in such a short period of time? Or did he use physical attacks, so there were not many magic traces left behind and they were easy to destroy?" Kirkin was a little puzzled after checking the situation, Negru's brows tightened and he didn't say a word, even if the two of them couldn't work together to erase all traces of magic in such a short period of time, and if the murderer used a physical attack, it would be impossible to kill so many people at the same time.

"The function of their hearts has been destroyed in an instant, and the enemy wants to use the unknown to crush morale, and use the selfishness of the nobles to create chaos," Leon looked at the report written by the autopsy personnel under his command, and immediately said to the people around him: "Don't tell anyone about the matter here, we can't let the enemy's conspiracy succeed, as for the cause of death of these people, we will make up one, even if the other soldiers know the truth, we can't let the nobles and Your Majesty know about this situation for the time being." ”
