Chapter 78: Tools
That's how it happened, and although it was a bit unexpected by Musel, the result was really what they were most happy to see.
The scene returns to Notick.
It's early in the morning, and the three of them are lying on a small hill looking at Demacia's garrison base in Notic, not far away, even if it's late at night, it's still a heavily guarded scene, the whole base is built on the tall walls of the Demacian border area, the soldiers can be put into battle as quickly as possible, and the light of the magic engineering searchlight on the city wall sweeps over every land outside the city walls from time to time, not only to prevent a possible attack by Noxus, What's more, because many creatures in the eastern swamp that have been mutated by magic occasionally cause some trouble, and on the other side of the city wall, although there are no searchlights set up in order not to affect the rest of ordinary citizens, and as compensation, there are people on guard here around the clock, plus magic scanning at night, if you don't have a certain amount of skill and preparation and rich experience in sneaking, I'm afraid you can't even get close to here.
Similarly, as a military base on the border, everything here is built on the premise of the fortress level, and there are additional enhanced enchantments in addition to the thickened walls, if you find a team of intermediate magicians to chant the smashing magic together, you may be able to leave a shallow scratch on it, this is the strongest line of defense for Demacia against Noxus and all invading enemies, even if all supplies are cut off, with the reserves and equipment in this fortress, it is enough to meet [1^book^read^ novel][.[ yb][du].] At least a few months of basic needs for the entire city.
There wasn't much difference between the garrison bases in the seven cities on Demacia's eastern border, so why did Phyllis's prefect let him here? It's not because there's a movement or the small number of defenders, it's because of the class here.
Almost all of Notic's defenders are equipped with armored units that Piltover is proud of, so in peacetime training, it is natural that armored vehicles are also the mainstay, and they are inferior to ordinary infantry in terms of individual combat ability, and when facing large groups of enemies at a long distance, these armored units are naturally full of combat power, but when facing one or two well-equipped enemies deep into it, these armored units will be embarrassed - these machines are not yet flexible to this extent, and heavy firepower is likely to cause damage to themselves at close range, When not fighting in concert with the infantry, these massive machines must be careful.
Is this hidden danger difficult for the Moral Marcia to not notice? Of course, they would not ignore this detail, and if it were not for the purge of all potential spies ordered by Gavin II, it would have been almost impossible for even Clarence and Mussel to enter Demacia's territory, and it was precisely because of this order that they were given such an opportunity.
The importance of the information was revealed at this moment, because the communication with the commander was cut off urgently, and Phyllis did not get the above information, and the price paid for this was that she had to exchange the same value of information, for which Phyllis could only give the least important information she knew to Black Rose, but as a spy and a member of the Phantom, what information did she know that was not important? Phyllis had no choice but to hope that she could stop the chaos in Demacia with her own efforts, and that with a little adjustment, she could undo all the damage that all this information could cause, if she couldn't stop it...... Then this piece of information has little meaning and value.
"Of course I want to be lazy if I can...... But they couldn't wait any longer. ”
In Mussel's opinion, now Phyllis's expression is inexplicably similar to Clarence, she looks at the brightly lit camp with a blank face, but her eyes are unabashedly telling her nervousness, according to the intelligence of the chief, some spies are being held here, this clean-up operation has been going on for a while, is their situation okay?
"Don't worry, there is no problem with the previous injuries, if we can rescue these people quickly, there is a better chance that Locke can be rescued."
Mussel may have forgotten that when rescuing Phyllis, they used a man named "Locke" as an excuse, but that didn't matter, and Clarence would never ignore such details.
"Okay, okay...... Since you both say so, I don't have a problem with that...... So, can you tell us about your plans? ”
Despite all of this, Phyllis couldn't possibly ask the question of "where are the spies being held?" and all she could get was a sketch of the base's structure, in which case they had to figure out where the spies were being held on their own.
"I can use psychic magic to read their memories, but I have to be at a certain distance to do so, can you help me get closer?" Phyllis suggested first.
"No, I don't think any magic should be used in this operation" Clarence immediately denied this, "this is an important military base, I don't think there will be a shortage of magic detection equipment here, and even if there is no such thing, there should always be one or two high-level magicians or even magisters, and if we use magic, they will probably find out." “
"That means we have to blend in without magic," Musel nodded, as the only one of the three who didn't know any magic at all, he didn't have any problem with this request...... Although I wanted to say this, it was not an assassination mission, not to mention that Phyllis was around, he couldn't just kill a whole group of patrol soldiers and sneak in as he would on an assassination mission, "They may all be armored troops, but at least they are soldiers, I don't think we can sneak in without killing anyone with this level of security and intelligence support, and they must have some kind of password or other way to identify each other, even if we get their uniforms." , will also be immediately recognized. “
"I understand" Clarence also knew what Mussel meant, this mission did have a lot of troublesome restrictions, but as a clever and careful assassin, he would always find and save everything that was beneficial to him in the mission, under the gaze of Phyllis and Mussel, he carefully took out a roll of cloth-like things from the pocket with volume magic attached, and after seeing what it was, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's the best tool to keep us connected here."
