"One last question, do you know where the capital of the 'United Empire' is?"

This is the most important thing, all the previous questions are actually incidental, in order to further reduce the inner resistance of the receiver, so that the hint magic is more effective, so as to ensure that the answer is obtained from the mouth of the recipient.

As a result, the answer was yes, but not what Perseus wanted.

The soldier who was induced by the "suggestion" replied: "I don't know." ”

"I really don't know?" Perseus stepped up the insinuation.

"I really don't know, it seems that there is such a place, but I don't know where it is, and I haven't been there, probably ......"

"Probably?"

The somewhat vague answer made Perseus frown.

However, she didn't bother too much, it was just to prevent such a situation that he specially captured a few more soldiers and came back to confirm each other.

With a single shot of his knife knocking the first soldier unconscious, Perseus grabbed the other soldier and repeated the trick, even the order of the questions was exactly the same.

Where did you come from and where are you going?

Whose orders were received?

Where is the lair of the United Empire?

As a result, except for the first question, none of the other questions were answered definitively.

Perseus did not believe in evil, and continued to catch the third and fourth, but the answer he got was exactly the same as before.

Now, it's impossible not to dwell on it.

Is it because you're a low-level soldier and don't care about things that are too far away from you, or is it because you're being manipulated by similar hints, so your memory becomes blurry?

A little inspection didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary, but that doesn't say anything. The enemy has a monster-like wise man and magician like Zhuge Kongming, and if he really wants to control the information, it is impossible to leave such an obvious flaw.

Do you want to go back and arrest a higher-ranking officer? After all, the higher the position, the more you should know.

But after thinking about it, he didn't know what level Kong Ming controlled the intelligence at, what if he and Iskandar knew?

Besides, the higher the rank, the more difficult it is to catch the officer, he has already made a sneak attack once, and with Zhuge Kongming's caution, he may have set a trap waiting for him to jump.

It's definitely not a good choice.

But where do you start?

Perseus sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his chest in one hand and his chin in the other, lost in thought.

The scope of use of implication magic is limited, and even Zhuge Kongming cannot hint at the inhabitants of an entire city, unless he learns from Joan of Arc to carry out indiscriminate massacres.

The "United Roman Empire" was not a dehumanized dragon army, and there was no news of a massacre at the moment.

There are four known cities, Rome, where Nero and the rest of the Chaldeans were located, and Florence, Gaul, and Massilia mentioned by the soldiers.

There is no need to think about the city of Rome, Florence is the front line of confrontation with the two sides, there is no need to go for the time being, and the remaining options are Gaul and Massilia.

Of these, two of the Gallic soldiers mentioned, and all the soldiers of Massilia, mentioned, were the former garrisons of the army.

Massilia and Gaul are also cities, and in terms of distance, Massilia is closer. In the list given by Nero, there are also people lurking in Massilia.

After a comprehensive assessment, Perseus decided to abandon the nearest Kongming army and try his luck in Massilia.

However, when Perseus arrived on the outskirts of Massilia and was about to enter the city, he was stunned.

Because above the city head close at hand, the royal flag of Iskandar and the military flag of Zhuge Kongming were hanging high, and Kong Ming in the center of the city tower was bowing to himself.

"See you again, unknown Mr. Caster!"

"FxxK, I don't want to see you here."

Bursting into a modern foul language, Perseus turned and ran, and by this time, he didn't know that he had been tricked.

But as soon as he ran two steps, he stopped because of Kong Ming's next words.

"It's too late to run, and since I know you're coming here, how can I be unprepared."

With just a snap of his fingers, behind Perseus, two squares suddenly appeared on both sides of the originally empty road.

Each team has more than 1,000 people, all of them are a combination of shield guards, pikemen, and crossbowmen, and the fluctuations of magic power can be faintly felt around the array, obviously realizing the magic trap.

“！！！” Perseus's expression was gloomy, and he thought quickly in his head, "Eight Stone Soldiers? ”

This is not speculation, but recalling what happened yesterday when he fought Kong Ming. That time, he was trapped in the formation, and finally used Iskandar's "divinity" to get out of trouble. The moment he left the formation, he found that the stone formation behind him had disappeared, as if it had never existed at all. If it weren't for the fact that the traces of lightning on his body were still there, and the other wounds were still painful, he would really think that this was an illusion.

Well, the answer is obvious. It is not an illusion that means that the "Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers" has a high-level concealment effect, and it is extremely difficult to detect if you are not an expert who is good at this or enter the formation.

"The reaction is very fast, the heroes of the mythical era are really powerful." Kong Ming's words undoubtedly confirmed that Perseus's guess was correct, "The formation can not only target the enemy, but also strengthen itself." ”

"Like an ambush by Tibetan soldiers?" Perseus asked as he quietly observed the formation.

Kong Ming smiled and nodded: "Exactly." ”

"How did you guess I would come to Massilia?"

"Quite simply, because of last night's attack. I made such a big move, but only captured a few people, I can't think of any other purpose than intelligence. The fact that I attacked only once proved that I was not wrong in my judgment, and that you did not want to confront the army head-on, and that this is the nearest city, so I rushed back overnight and waited for you here. ”

"Aren't you afraid of making mistakes? In case I am diverting the tiger away from the mountain and attacking your army while you are away. ”

"That's okay, Iskandar is in the army at the moment. Although he was summoned as an immature boy, the King of Conquest is still the King of Conquest, the commander you call 'the only one in the West'. With the camp I set up myself, if you want to defeat him, you need at least three servants of the same level as you. If you really had so many companions, yesterday wouldn't have ended like that. ”

"A great army division is a great military division, and everything will be calculated for you." Perseus took it, and his heart was convinced.

"That's all for gossip, you've observed almost, and so have my preparations! If you are not willing to surrender, then go to war! Yesterday broke my stone formation, see if you can break my military formation again today! ”

The feather fan appeared, and with a move in the air, a gust of wind blew the military flag, and the two armies outside the city immediately turned from static!

"Let's fight!"
