Same night.

Soma League, the southern capital of Char, the emperor's palace.

With a "squeak", Oscar pushed open the door of the palace and hurried in.

Inside the palace, the Emperor of the Alliance's majestic body was standing with his back to him, looking at the closed window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing Oscar's footsteps, the Alliance Emperor slowly turned his head, glanced at it, and said, "Did you receive the news?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have just received the details from below. Oscar spoke up, his expression solemn.

The Emperor stepped forward, walked to the large chair, and sat down slowly, pressing the armrest. The chair groaned a little overwhelmed, and the emperor was silent for a few seconds, then exhaled lightly and said, "Tell me, what the hell is going on." By the way, there are seats over there, so you can sit casually. As he spoke, he pointed to the side.

Oscar nodded, walked over to the gray leather chair and sat down, pondered the words, and spoke.

"Your Majesty, through the report of the secret agent and the backtracking with the prophecy spell, you can almost get a conclusion before and after the incident. If nothing went wrong, it should be that the Moss base was almost relatively normal before the accident, until a few seconds before the accident, the moon in the sky suddenly turned red, and a blood-colored light enveloped the entire base.

The light was intense, which caught the attention of the people in the base, and if there was enough time, they would definitely respond by either evacuating or finding a way to disperse the light. But the accident happened too quickly, and after the blood-colored light enveloped the entire base, it only took a few breaths before it exploded in full force.

According to the surviving spy reports on the periphery, at the time of the accident, the center of the blood-colored light was suddenly ignited, as if the oil had fallen into the spark, and the entire Moss base burned in an instant. And what burns is not an ordinary flame, it is quite devastating, even if the peripheral secret agents are extremely far away, the mana in the body is disordered, almost out of control, not to mention the people inside the flames.

Therefore, no one in the base survived. Other than that...... According to reports from rescue wizards who arrived later, all the souls of the dead in the ruins of the base disappeared and were burned along with their bodies in strange flames. ”

After listening to what Oscar said, the emperor pursed his thick lips, frowned and concluded, "This is the revenge of the Truth Society." After all, two days ago, with the information of your young friend, we had just killed one of the other party's Colored Ring Managers, completely destroying the soul and eliminating any possibility of resurrection.

Now the other side has used means to destroy our most important secret base of Moss. Not only did it kill No. 5, who had spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but more importantly, it destroyed the entire team of craftsmen, including Master Amon, and cut off the possibility of us continuing to produce secret weapons. ”

"I agree with Your Majesty. Oscar echoed, "Not surprisingly, this is the other party's revenge." Thinking about it carefully, I hope that Your Majesty will immediately move away to prevent the other party from taking Char's Palace as a target and launching the same attack. ”

"I'll transfer. The emperor did not refuse, he said very reasonably, paused and said, "However, don't worry too much. The means used by the other party to deal with the Moss base are definitely not easy to use, but there are huge limitations. Otherwise, the entire Soma Alliance would have been destroyed long ago when we first noticed them, and where could we wait until now. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"I mean, the Truth Society is a weary and vigilant group of them, but at the end of the day, they're just a bunch of moles hiding underground, afraid to see the light, and they're best at creating chaos in the shadows, not confronting them head-on.

So instead of worrying about the unpredictable and surprising attack methods of the other side, it is better to beware of all sides of reality, especially the border with the Kingdom of Sika. I have a hunch that there is a high probability that the Kingdom of Sika will take the opportunity to do something, so I must be on guard. ”

"Yes, I'll convey Your Majesty's intentions to Reef Fort. Oscar said, standing up.

"Hmm. The Emperor nodded.

......

......

One day later, it was just nightfall.

The westernmost part of the Soma League, on the border with the Kingdom of Sika.

The ground here is extremely barren, and even in summer, there are not many verdant plants on the ground, let alone large trees, only clusters of low shrubs dotted with them. As soon as the night wind blew, a large area of yellow dust was immediately raised, like fog.

In the yellow "mist", an outpost stood. Its main body is a three-story stone building in the style of a pillbox, with a perimeter built into a wall, which can withstand the onslaught of small groups of enemies. It is part of the Soma Alliance's border defense line, and is mainly used to monitor the movements of the Sika Kingdom's troops, as well as to be vigilant against the infiltration of a small number of enemies in the Sika Kingdom.

In this outpost, a total of twelve people were stationed, including a captain and eleven soldiers. Most of these soldiers have served for many years, and the youngest are close to thirty years old, and they belong to the legendary veteran oilman - treacherous and slippery.

Because the outpost is close to the Reef Fort, the so-called West Fort, one of the five nominal capitals of the Soma Alliance, an extremely strong and almost impenetrable military city, it is the most difficult place on the border to break through. In addition, most of the soldiers are about to reach the discharge period, and their hearts are home, so the soldiers are usually extremely lazy in doing things, and they can drag it out, but they can't drag it out and choose an unlucky ghost to do it.

Although the captain is a little unaccustomed to it, he knows that these people will all get out of the way in a few months at most, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

But today is a bit special, the captain of the outpost took out a serious military stick for the first time, first reprimanded several people with a black face and trivial matters, and then attacked a soldier who was not long-eyed, and beat the other party to cry and cry for his mother.

"Today, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood, don't make trouble for me, be honest with me. You are divided into three groups, and you take turns to be on duty outside at night, and if something happens, Lao Tzu will ...... you Send it to the Judge Advocate General!" said the captain after beating someone.

The soldiers felt a little inexplicable, and they didn't know what medicine the captain had taken wrong today. But seeing the captain's frighteningly black face and blood-stained military sticks, the rational did not talk back, and obediently went to stand guard in groups.

This is also one of the rare benefits of veteran oil, knowing how to judge the situation, knowing when to be slippery and when to be honest and obedient.

Frank was one of them, usually very slippery, but at this time he was very active in walking out of the stone building, stepping on the wooden plank to the fence, and standing guard seriously.

However, while standing guard, the doubts in his heart did not dissipate, and at night he saw the captain patrolling over and over again, seizing an opportunity, and couldn't help but stop. With the face of being a fellow villager with the captain, he asked in a low voice: "Captain, what's going on, why do you think you're different from usual today." ”
