Chapter 1290: The Insider
"What's next for you?"
The female Darrant was visibly dissatisfied with the nonchalant attitude of the commander of the expeditionary force, and said tentatively with a blank expression.
She didn't understand why the higher-ups would withdraw the boy who came out of nowhere in front of her to become the commander of an expeditionary force, even if the other party found a way to repair the energy turbulence and make the spatial ring work again.
"What's next?" the boy touched his chin and glanced meaningfully at the somewhat restless subordinate, and replied with a smile, "Of course, I will catch a few live mouths first to find out the situation inside the enemy." Don't forget, those who have been hunted down to the point of insanity have long since lost touch with the civilized world. We don't know exactly how many enemies there are, and there are characters that need special attention. War is no child's play, especially one with the ultimate goal of conquering the entire world. ”
Just as the female Darrant was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the man.
Immediately after that, a male Darrant warrior knelt down on one knee and bowed solemnly, and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, our patrol has just captured a primitive wooden sailing ship with about thirty members on it, close to the shoreline. Twenty-five of them fiercely resisted and were killed on the spot, and five captives, do they need to be interrogated immediately?"
"Hmm, have you figured out who they are?" the boy had a curious glint in his eyes.
"According to the confession of one of the men, they were a group of pirates and mercenaries. Hearing that there were traces of the Darrants in the vicinity, they wanted to capture slaves and sell them to a port city called the city-state of Archie. The fighter gave a straightforward answer.
Despite the fact that the Darrants are a magic-dominated civilization, the number of warriors is not at all small.
It's just that unlike most people's impressions of warriors who charge with their weapons in hand, they are closer to a mech-like pilot.
In particular, the silver full-coverage armor on the body not only has strong protection capabilities, but also has an independent energy supply system, which can easily exert the destructive power of any wearer like a giant, and with energy weapons, even a technologically advanced thermal weapon civilization will be defeated in an instant.
"Pirate and mercenary, bring them here, I have some questions for them to answer. The boy hesitated for a moment, then quickly made his choice.
Although he had read the details recorded on the tablets, he was still surprised that the world could kill a hundred thousand heavily armed expeditionary forces.
You must know that an expeditionary force of 100,000 Durrants is almost enough to destroy a planet.
It's not an exaggeration, it's literal.
Every complete expeditionary force will be equipped with an ultimate means, which is to directly detonate the core of the planet, so that the boiling face tears the ground and causes devastating damage to the surrounding environment.
No life could survive in such a harsh environment, not even those powerful life forms known as gods and demons.
But it is interesting to note why the expeditionary force left behind in this world has the means to die together, but it has no need to take action?
In the expeditionary force, the will of the supreme commander is equivalent to the will of the entire civilization, and no matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment there is in the heart, it must be held in the heart and brought up after the expedition is completed and returned to the home planet.
It can be said that the best commander is the dictator of the expeditionary force, and his every order cannot be violated.
In less than five minutes, five captives in tattered clothes were brought to the halls of the tower.
Four of them are men and one is a woman.
Everyone had a sour smell that would only come from a long period of not bathing, and their clothes were stained with dark red blood.
Disturbed!
Terrified!
Fear!
From the eyes of these captives, it was clear how frightened they were of this sudden appearance of the magical fortress.
After observing for a full minute, the boy smiled and said, "Hello, brave sir, and ladies. I don't know whether to admire your courage or to laugh at your ignorance for daring to target the Darrants. ”
"Your Excellency, I suggest that you stop talking nonsense with these inferior races, and immediately let the caster directly drain their souls and read their memories. The world must pay the price for their barbaric actions, the price of blood, death, and destruction. No one can survive the slaughter of a Darrant expeditionary force. The female subordinate gritted her teeth and proposed.
It is estimated that in her heart, she has pronounced a death sentence for all intelligent beings in this world.
"Don't! Don't kill us! We're just a bunch of pirates and mercenaries who don't know anything! The decision to attack you back then was the result of the combined efforts of the thirteen kings. They are your enemies, the culprits of all this. All we want is to make some money......"
Obviously, it is unrealistic to expect a group of unscrupulous guys for the sake of wealth to see death as if they were at home.
The man at the head didn't even hesitate, and shook out the information he knew.
In fact, such a large-scale operation could not be concealed for long at all.
When the boy heard this, he immediately turned around and asked his men, "Do you know who the thirteen kings are?"
"Thirteen kings?" the female Darrant first froze, then clenched her fists and cursed angrily: "Damn! How dare these maggots?!" The so-called thirteen kings are actually the first strong people who chose to cooperate with the expeditionary force after we came to this world. Some for power, some for knowledge, and some for wealth and power, they eventually divided the lands and subjects of the destroyed countries under the canonization of their commanders, helping us gather vital resources and grow our own power. ”
"So...... Is this a betrayal play??, the last expeditionary force was killed by the puppets they had raised with their own hands?" the boy pursed the corners of his mouth, a sarcastic expression on his face.
You must know that the Darrants are not a kind race that preaches equality and fraternity, and if you want to successfully deceive them, you can only be more ferocious, more brutal, and more ruthless than them.
If he could, he really wanted to see the commander of the last expeditionary force with his own eyes, and by the way, ask what the other party thought in the first place, which would let his puppets out of control.
"No! No! How could these thirteen people alone wipe out the entire expeditionary force in one fell swoop! There must be an unspeakable secret among them!"
The female Darrant seemed to realize something, picked up one of the captives, and asked sharply, "Details!
