After the communication was hung up by Ou Lin on his own initiative, Lu Xiao did not take action immediately, but stood in place and fell into deep thought.

Lu Xiao didn't fully believe Ou Lin's words, he had to first consider the possibility that Ou Lin was controlled by the Eclipse Sect and set a trap.

"Flowwind Castle...... Let's go to Mallard and ask first. ”

……

As the Sun King's chief assistant to Arvid, Mallard's day-to-day work is to help the Sun King sort through the paperwork submitted by the ministers and handle some of the flawless chores for Arvid.

When Lu Xiao found him, Mallard was buried in the palace library to help Yavid rummage through materials.

"Flowing Wind Castle?"

Malad, who was not young, straightened up and moved his body: "That fortress used to be the border fortress of the Kingdom of Calga, and it was taken by Shadow Calga after the coup d'état two years ago. ”

"According to our spies, Flowwind Castle is now used as a base for captives and slaves in Shadow Calgar."

"Slaves in the fortress will fight each other under the orders of the Shadow Calgar higher-ups, and the winner will be eligible to go to Sunset Fort to participate in the arena deathmatch."

"If you survive the raging automatons in the arena, the slave will be freed and officially a member of Shadowcalga."

Mallard sat down in his chair with his back hunched back and sighed tiredly, "The defenses of that fortress are so strong that even with the heavy weapons of the Ossellands, it cannot be breached in a short time. ”

"A conservative estimate is that there are more than 200 Shadow Kargar soldiers in the entire fortress, and a frontal assault would require at least three times as many troops as the defenders."

"Besides, the location of Flowwind Fort is too remote to have any strategic value, and I don't think the Sun King will send troops there."

Lu Xiao patted Mallard's shoulder to express his gratitude: "I don't need the Sun King to send troops, I plan to act alone, please mark the specific location of Liufeng Fort on the map for me." ”

……

When Lu Xiao was ready to set off, Allend, who was covered in a large number of bandages, led elite soldiers to escort a carriage through the city gate, and the two sides happened to stagger.

Through the windswept window curtains, Lu Xiao could vaguely see a woman with a bandaged head weakly leaning on the seat of the carriage, her eyes looking out of the window a little dullly, her eyes full of happiness for the rest of her life after the disaster.

'Elsa? ’

Because most of her face was covered by bandages, and her exposed eyes were brutally swollen, Lu Xiao couldn't see Elsa's original appearance and temperament at all.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

The grumpy Alender shouted out to the people of Meridian City who were watching the excitement on the street, and escorted the carriage all the way in the direction of the palace.

After using Eagle Vision to see through the inside of the carriage and making sure that Elsa's life characteristics were still intact, Lu Xiao turned around and walked out of the city gate in the crowd.

"Elsa's return alive means that Delva's plot is completely ruined, and it will be Javid's turn to attack Osselland."

Leaving the bustling Meridian City, Lu Xiao sped up and headed to the desert area in the southeast of the Calga Kingdom.

The region is still being contested, with the soldiers of Shadow Calgar and the Kingdom of Calga each occupying a piece of territory in the desert.

The half near Meridian City is owned by the Kingdom of Calgar, and the area near the border with Nora is controlled by Calgar the Shadow.

It was precisely because of the backing of the Flowing Wind Fortress that Sirius and the Eclipse Cult dared to blatantly cross the border and invade Nora territory.

According to information provided by Mallard, Siris has returned directly to Sunset, the capital of Shadow Calga, after evacuating from Nora territory, and has recently been busy suppressing the commotion caused by the war of public opinion in the city.

After approaching the desert area, the environment of green mountains and clear waters around Meridian City deteriorated rapidly, the vegetation density decreased significantly, and sandstorms of varying intensity would blow from time to time.

Forced by the harsh environment, Lu Xiao took out the standard configuration of action in the desert, and continued to move in the direction of Liufeng Fort against the wind and sand.

Mallard's map is easy to understand, with clear references to landmarks along the way.

Standing on the barren mountain cliff about two kilometers away from Liufeng Castle, Lu Xiao opened the eagle's pupil and glanced around.

"Found it."

Originally, Lu Xiao was worried that Ou Lin would be a ghost, but it turned out that he thought too much.

At this time, Orin was squatting alone behind a group of boulders, probing his brain to observe in the direction of Flowing Wind Castle, and no one could be seen within a kilometer of him.

From a high vantage point, the topography and architectural distribution of the Flowing Wind Castle are clear at a glance.

The main body of the fortress is built on a small hill, and the towering castle of the lord is located in the center of the fortress, and from the tower of the castle there should be a clear view of the movement of the desert plain in a radius of several miles.

The outer walls are also lined with Shadow Calgar soldiers who patrol at any time, and some key sections of the walls are also equipped with Oselang's cannons.

As Mallard said, it is very difficult for such a strong castle to be breached head-on.

But well...... No matter how strong a castle is, it has loopholes, and even if there are no loopholes, they can create loopholes.

After determining the situation inside the fortress, Lu Xiao jumped down from the cliff with open arms, and landed firmly on the ground with the A-level Leap of Faith.

Turning on the breath to block the speed of the desert, when approaching the range of about 500 meters behind Orin, Orin's Focus began to alarm in advance, and Orin, who was originally looking in the direction of Liufeng Castle, suddenly turned around.

"Don't get excited."

Seeing Ou Lin lift a Deathbringer heavy machine gun from the ground, Lu Xiao used the Shrinking Footwork to teleport to his side.

"It's me, Lu Xiao."

"Whew~"

The nervous Orin breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it would take you a few days to arrive." ”

Lu Xiao half-squatted beside Ou Lin and looked at the city wall: "I don't like to drag mud and water, since I have decided to act, I will take the highest efficiency." ”

"How's it going? Is there an update on the intelligence to share? ”

Ou Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Not for the time being, recently the Flowing Wind Castle has suddenly tightened its vigilance, and there are very few people coming and going, I don't know if there is an accident inside Shadow Calga." ”

Lu Xiao knew why, but now was not the time to explain the reason to Ou Lin.

"Are there eclipse cultists in the castle?"

Orin thought for a moment before replying, "Probably not, the Eclipse Cult has been busy digging up metal demons around the world recently. ”

Lu Xiao nodded: "Very good, then I will sneak into the fortress, and you will stay outside to guard for me." ”

"If there are reinforcements approaching the fort, remember to notify me with Focus as soon as possible."

Ou Lin looked at Lu Xiao who was about to set off in amazement: "You sneaked into the heavily defended fortress alone?" This ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, just look at it."

Just in case, Lu Xiao turned on the aura blocking and the battlefield ghost at the same time, and Ou Lin was surprised to find that Lu Xiao's life characteristics suddenly disappeared from the Focus logo.

Originally an important fortress on the border of the Kingdom of Calga, the smooth stone walls are at least 10 meters high, and from the outside, they look quite majestic.

With the technology mastered by the Enora, it was impossible to injure the fortress with their primitive bows and spears, and these fortifications were mainly aimed at automatons.

Relying on the magic cloak to slowly rise along the edge of the city wall, Lu Xiao turned on the Eagle Eye Vision to scan the distribution of people in the city by the way.

There were more than 1,500 people inside the fort, and except for more than 200 soldiers, the rest were logistics personnel and slaves and prisoners who had been imprisoned.

One of the patrolling soldiers continued to patrol through the section of the city wall in front of Lu Xiao, and the cold weapon that stabbed him in the back of the heart quickly took his life.

Kicking the soldier's corpse under the city wall, Lu Xiao licked his lips with a wicked taste.

It's time for the intense dive again. ’
