In the dimly lit room, a middle-aged man sat silently thinking, his gaze resting on the small water tank on the table.

There are some weird tadpoles in this tank, and the color of their bodies is not jet black but purple red.

The middle-aged man thought of his previous miraculous encounter, and these tadpoles were just small gifts for himself to remind him not to forget his promise.

What is the point of sacrificing a little personal stuff for this grand plan to unify the Bodie continent?

Those ridiculous black-robed mages tried to use mind-reading techniques to probe themselves, which was really unbelievable.

The Ancestor of Mind Reading was his ally, and those mages were nothing compared to them.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought of this, he put the pig brain and horse brain crumbs that had been prepared into the water tank, and those purple-red tadpoles suddenly became interested, and they desperately grabbed like crazy, and in less than a few minutes the tank regained its calm, and the tadpoles were all satisfied, and floated lazily in the water.

Footsteps could be heard outside the door, and the meticulous guards were arguing with someone. The middle-aged man's thoughts returned to reality, he got up and walked to the door, opened it and saw that it seemed to be a soldier like a guy, although he was wearing civilian clothes, but the things in his bones were not covered.

As soon as the man saw the middle-aged man, he immediately reported to his home and said, "Marshal, General Tugrul has ordered me to come and say hello to you!"

Cripp knew what he meant, so he leaned over and motioned for him to come into the room to talk, and the two guards looked helpless. Although the Black-robed Society ordered them to spy on the marshal, as long as the marshal took the initiative to see someone who was willing to see him, they must be allowed to let him go according to the order.

After the man entered the house, he glanced at the environment and said in a low voice: "Marshal, you have been wronged!"

Cripp shook his head, "Where! I'm just doing this to facilitate the movement of your troops outside the city." Those mages thought they could keep me safe. It's so arrogant!"

"Marshal, General Tugrul is preparing to lead a group of men and horses into the city for a surprise attack early tomorrow morning, and you should prepare early to prevent accidents. These words were spoken against the root of Kripper's ear.

"Now every morning, those old horsemen will be in the original Bojiao church to discuss matters, although there are mages guarding the door, but the number is small, it should not pose a threat to you. Move quickly, and if you succeed in capture, you must immediately announce the whole city, so that even if you can't get all the mages to surrender, you can divide their forces. My old ministry in the city is ready to rebel, and when the time comes, coordinated action will certainly provide you with strong support. ”

"Marshal, your own safety ......" the man was still emphasizing the issue.

"Don't worry, go back and tell Tugrul that if this matter unfortunately fails, I will no longer be in a stalemate in the city, and I will definitely sneak out and command the troops with you. ”

Seeing that Cripp was so persistent, the man couldn't say anything, and after a brief greeting, he hurried away.

Cripp returned to the table, looking at the tadpoles in the water tank, pondering something.

......

The Fifth Appraisal also received a letter from General Tugrul, stating that he would enter the city early the next morning to meet the marshal to discuss military affairs.

Kanin sneered, "This is clearly about to act!

Digger hesitated: "Tugrul is so blatant, aren't you worried about Kriep's safety? Are we too grassy and woody? Maybe he is really just discussing military aircraft tomorrow." ”

"I have already seen through the tricks of these people who lead the troops. Originally, I was worried about what to do, but now they came to the door by themselves, and they really had nowhere to find their iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get there!"

"Now that King Hope Richard and a group of people from the Holy See are stationed outside the city, won't we make our relatives and enemies happy if we cut off our wrists like this?"

"Those fools out there are just for the holy city of Rom. Compared to us Dessertes, Emperor Tambolance was actually more afraid of these sect madness. Although this emperor is extremely cunning, he can still distinguish between priorities and priorities, and if Richard or the Pope is allowed to occupy the city of Roma, what will he have as the emperor, and what prestige will he have?"

Digg was in a dilemma, because Marshal Cripp's continental dream was something he greatly disappreciated, but the situation was so complicated at the moment that it was too difficult to make a decision.

"Master Digger, I know you're confused. We black-robed mages wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing in a vain attempt to unify the entire Bodi Continent. Get rid of the marshal, take control of the military, and change to a peaceful world, what can't you choose?"

The other three commentators had already been moved by Canin's words, and they all urged Digger to agree to the matter, and the old man had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"That being the case. Then we will make a plan, and early tomorrow morning, let Tugrul and his party enter the city, and catch turtles in an urn in this church. Kanin's excitement rose suddenly, "As for the marshal...... Kill or stay?"

Several people couldn't make a decision, and Digger said: "Although Marshal Cripple has made a big mistake, after all, he is also the symbol of our Deseth people in the Bodi Continent, and it would not be good to kill him easily." ”

"Master, speaking of this marshal, I have to make friends with you. Didn't his strange performance in our mind-reading test arouse your suspicions and that of you? What else in this world can resist such spells except the stupid man?"

One of the reviewers suddenly thought of something, but immediately shook his head and denied it.

Kanin saw his action and took the initiative to say, "Master Musa, what do you want to say?"

"I've only thought of a legendary monster, but it's obviously impossible!"

"Tell me about it. ”

"Mind Flayer. ”

"Mind Flayer!" several of the commentators were all taken aback. This evil creature is a legend of the elves and dwarves of the ancient wilderness. Although they are not as large and spitting fire as dragons, they have the ability to manipulate the minds and minds of other creatures, so they are on a par with dragons. One of their greatest weaknesses is their fear of light, so they live in deep underground tunnels all year round. Since the age of the Empire of Gwene, these terrifying creatures have been almost never heard from again.

Digger recovered from the initial shock, he shook his head and said: "Impossible, Marshal Cripple is a martial artist, and he doesn't know spells, not to mention that he has found the Mind Flayer, even after finding it, how to communicate is an impossible chasm to cross." ”

"Master, have you forgotten the cold crystal?" reminded Kanin.

"Cold crystal, cold crystal. Digger repeated several times, "This thing was only used by the pagan mages of the Vane Empire in the past and the druids who cast natural spells. This strengthens their ability to communicate with nature, which can amplify the power of their spells. But marshal he ......"

"The marshal doesn't know spells, that's for sure. But cryopar can provide a medium and build bridges. We all know that the legendary Mind Flayer likes to eat brains**, but they live underground all year round, so where do they have so many brains for them to enjoy?"

"The Mind Flayer survives by absorbing the energy of the cold hedron. Mouses replied, "But these are only stories handed down from our ancestors." When we migrated here in the late Vane Empire, the history of the past was long gone. The kingdom of Noah was destroyed by the Mind Snatcher, and our ancestors, in order to avoid bad luck from befalling them, took the initiative to migrate north, and then advanced west to the Bodi continent. ”

Kanin smiled, "Doesn't the Master know that the kingdom of Nuha is the Orint Empire that the Tamborans call it?"

"Back then, Nuha and Vane stood side by side, in fact, to the east of Noha, there were still our Deseths, and in order to dominate, Nuha blocked the news for thousands of years, making the Vaen Empire think that there were only two countries in the world, and Nuha himself obtained countless trade profits from it. Noah is Orlingte, and I'm afraid there are only five of us who know about it. Musa said this, with a little pride, "A large number of documents on the migration back then were safely kept by a businessman, and later he was the first to initiate the establishment of the predecessor organization of our Black Robe Society. ”

"It's pretty clear. Marshal, he must have contacted some Mind Flayer, otherwise how could he be as calm as water in front of the mind reading technique, and have no thoughts at all?" Kanin said, frowning slightly, "There is only one thing to figure out now, where did he find the Mind Flayer, where did he find the cold crystal!"

"This matter is fruitless by thinking, the marshal must be killed, of course, you can be caught and asked before, but no matter what the result is, hooking up with the evil filth of the Mind Flayer is simply self-defeating. Mouses was worried.

Digger and several others also knew that this was not a trivial matter, and he took the initiative to say: "I am willing to go to the marshal to find out for myself." ”

Moussa also offered to go with him.

Several deliberations were discussed, and the next morning, the soldiers were divided into two routes. One route was led by Dig and Moussa to arrest and torture Kripp, and one route was attended by Kanin and the other three commentators, waiting for Tugrul to come to the door himself.

......

The words are divided into two ends, General Tugrul has already prepared for the worst, even if he is defeated, he must not affect the marshal and the army. There is a high-ranking person on the marshal's side, so you can rest assured for the time being. On the side of the army, the generals under him were more than brave but not wise, and after thinking about it, only the staff officer Aivazer could entrust him with great affairs, and if he could not return, Aivazer must command the army until the marshal left the city.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, what the black-robed mages want to get is command, it is impossible to kill indiscriminately, as long as the appropriate leadership is guaranteed, then there is nothing to worry about.

On the side of the Tambolans, they have already sent a few people to act as suspicious soldiers. When they get the truth, the overall situation is decided, and neither the marshal nor the black robe will be soft on them.

Tugrul tossed and turned, stayed awake all night, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he got up and put himself in order, and sat down in his tent and meditated.

It is the dragon that refuses to stop, the thoughts are ingenious, and the thoughts are different, and I want to know what will happen next, and I will decompose it next time.
