Chapter 669: Investigation Team
The general of the Gonggong led the Zhurong executive group to the reef group on the west bank of the river, where they fought with the Zhurong executive group for five months. In the end, the Zhurong executive group temporarily retreated due to the long supply and transportation lines and the difficulty of supply. Seventy percent of them died. The losses of the generals under the Gonggong were even heavier, and they were almost completely wiped out, leaving only a few remnants of the circle warlocks.
The Gonggong Fortress got the news and was devastated. If you can't take advantage of the geographical advantages to hold on to the river crossing and wait for the outcome of the fate of the tribes, no one dares to imagine. But there is nothing they can do but pray silently, hoping that the scales of fate will tilt in favor of the weak side of justice.
The Department of Mystery Investigation was officially renamed the Countermeasures Department at the beginning of the establishment of the Gonggong Fortress three years ago, and at this moment Minister Jing Ke is standing in the middle of the freezer. In front of him were six transparent stone crystal cabinets, which contained the only six secret ancient tablets of the ancient god Pangu, and the words on them were strange symbols. Most of the ancient inscriptions have been deciphered.
Jing Ke kept staring at the translations, guessing what was going on. He didn't dare to look at the ancient monument anymore, there seemed to be a magic power on the ancient monument that could disturb people's spirits and make people fall into the illusion of despair.
The door to the freezer slowly opened, and a tall man walked in. He saluted the Jing Kejun in a dignified manner, and then handed him the scroll clip under his armpit.
Jing Kejun opened the scroll folder and browsed through a few pages, rubbed his temples tiredly, and said, "Is the information true?" ”
"Yes." Fei Liang pushed his glasses and continued, "The Gonggong Fortress Department has already electrified all the clansmen, they will retreat inland before the next wave of impact, relying on the central fortress to carry out long-term offensive and defensive warfare and guerrilla warfare with the Zhurong Executive Regiment, they said that they will stick there and never give up the central area, but if ......" Fei Liang did not continue, but looked at the Jing Ke army.
Jing Kejun let out a long breath, and the white mist clouded the surface of the stone crystal cabinet, gradually turning into water droplets and winding down.
"What about the action above?" Jing Kejun kept rubbing his temples.
"The above has already made the worst plan, and sent General Li Weichang to lead an army of 100,000 to Liaoyuan and quickly occupy it, hoping to rush to the aid of Junzhou. The other clans also issued a statement that within three months, they would send troops to respond from both the east and the west, and we must not lose our last hope and let Zhurong build the sixth tower of destruction! ”
"Okay, how is the development progress of Pan Shi?" Jing Kejun continued to ask.
"It's difficult, the shortage of information is the biggest problem, the Yuan clan has already sent a team of experts over, but they were intercepted by the Zhurong execution team on the way, and the only ones who arrived in the end were the old man Yuan Zu and a few of his assistants."
Jing Kejun turned to look at Fei Liang, his brows furrowed.
Fei Liang continued, "There is even worse news, most of the information brought by the ancestor was lost in the interception, and he himself was frightened due to the long journey, and now his physical condition is not very good, and he is not suitable to participate in activities in the near future." The best news, the core part of the record has not been damaged, and it has now been handed over to the people over there. ”
"Ahh Commander Jing Ke breathed a sigh of relief, "Go on." ”
"Pan developed by the Holy Warring States
The stone test subject is already on the way, and the hidden investigation team has sent someone to answer it today. ”
"Okay, I got it." Jing Kejun turned around again and continued to stare at the translation on the stone crystal cabinet and ponder.
"And, Minister."
"Huh?" Jing Kejun raised his head, but did not turn around.
"The above urges you to organize people to translate the text of the ancient tablet as soon as possible, no matter the cost." There was no ripple in Fei Yu's tone, and they all knew what the price was.
"Really?" Jing Kejun pondered for a while, "Yes," this is our last chance to win, our last weapon, "How are you preparing over there?" ”
"One hundred and eight mages have been assembled, and each one of them is equipped with enough equipment to say that in three months it should be possible to translate."
I hope it helps.
"Report on Ling Ya and Zang Gu's progress!"
"Yes." Excuse me for opening another folder.
Zang Gu led the way into an underground passage that seemed to have been prepared for them. The walls on both sides of the passage are hard black rock, jagged all the way to the ground. There was no one guarding here, and Zang Gu Lingya and his party moved forward easily, but the atmosphere was very depressing.
After walking for about ten minutes, there was finally a light in front of me.
What a magnificent city it is, with countless bright headlights hanging from the dome, illuminating the whole city as if it were daylight. Beneath the dome, countless houses made of stone are lined up one after another, and the streets are crisscrossed and layered. On every street there are patrols in strong uniforms, patrolling back and forth. They wore signs on their heads and had serious expressions.
Zang Gu was not very surprised when he saw such a formation, but Ling Ya next to him secretly frowned.
Wang Yanzi, who was behind them, walked over and said to Zang Gu, "I've never seen a color before." ”
"Huh, gray?" Zang Gu turned his head to look at Ling Ya and saw her frowning, "Sister Ya." ”
"Ahh Ling Ya rubbed the corners of her eyes, "I thought of something, let's go." ”
They walked out of the hole, and in front of them was a staircase that snaked down. At the top of the stairs, there were three men in robes waiting there. A man stepped forward, put his right hand on his chest, and greeted him loudly in authentic Elven language.
"He said, welcome to Gillow." Ling Ya acted as a translator.
"Ah, it turned out to be a guest from afar, this is my king's domain, you are welcome to join. I am the consul here, and you may call me Schlevan. Scholfan bowed slightly and said in a stiff language.
"Oh, so, this is an underground city-state?" Zang Gu looked Schlefan up and down and saw the crescent moon tattoo he had on his neck.
"Yes, distinguished guests, we fight for faith and freedom, and every wanderer is welcome to join, if you wish, this is your home, and our brothers and sisters will treat you like family." Scholefan stretched out his hands and made way for Zang Gu and the others.
Zang Gu looked at Scholefan in a low voice, thinking of the purpose of their coming here, so he opened
"Actually, we're here to ......"
Without waiting for Zang Gu to finish speaking, Ling Ya hurriedly said, "We are running around to find the strength to fight against the Zhurong Enforcement Regiment, and now we want to find a place to rest, I hope it won't disturb us too much." ”
"You're not wanderers?" Scholefan's expression suddenly froze, and the two sturdy men behind him straightened their expressions and looked at them vigilantly.
The atmosphere became very tense, and the two sides were deadlocked, until Ling Ya smiled slightly and said, "We are all of the same kind, our homeland was destroyed like yours, and we are our common enemy, Zhurong has done the evil of the executive group, isn't it?" ”
Archon Scholfan listened to Ling Ya's words, and his eyes kept rolling smartly. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Well said, in order to destroy our common enemy, I can let you in." He motioned for the two soldiers behind him to step forward and take down all the weapons on Zang Gu and the others, as well as the stone slab that Leo was carrying.
Leo glared angrily at the two men in front of him, who was a full head taller than them, but that deterrent power did not shake the two magicians in the slightest.
"Thank you." Zang Gu understood what Ling Ya meant, and led everyone down the stairs.
Behind them, the consul Schlefan sneered, explaining something to the others.
Walking into the underground city-state of Gillow, you can feel the grandeur of the city-state even more, each building is like a small fortress, built of hard bluestone; The streets are wide; The alleys on both sides of the street are densely distributed, and each alley only allows one or two people to pass through; In the center of the city-state in the distance, there is a huge building, about five stories high, standing on it, which overlooks the entire city-state.
Now, the streets where the people were standing were deserted, and everyone who passed by them would unconsciously glance at them and continue to hurry.
They retreated into a dark alleyway, and Wang Yanzi whispered, "Lu Zhengfei found that someone was following us." ”
One of the members of the team stepped out and gestured with his eyes that not far behind them, two short men were smiling politely at them.
"They have been following us since we entered this city, and I have carefully observed that although this is an underground city-state, it is not dim, and in the shadows under this light, there are many people, in every house." Lu Zhengfei lowered his voice and pointed to the two houses around them, "Remember the passage we came into?" There are people hidden in there, too. ”
Zang Gu nodded, glanced at Ling Ya next to him, and after getting her affirmation, he said, "The most important thing for us at the moment is to figure out the master of this city-state, what his tendencies are, and the gray sign should be a breakthrough." ”
Ling Ya nodded slightly, and then said, "That's right, in my hometown, gray is worshipped, I don't know if there is a connection, but I have a faint feeling, but it's not sure yet, let's check it again, and when the time comes, I'll visit the city lord." ”
Zang Gu nodded and ordered in a low voice, "Feiyu, go." ”
Fei Yu, who had been hiding in the shadows, took the order and retreated into the depths of the alley. he
He is a top student of the Intelligence Collection Division.,Good at concealment.,Tracking.,Proficient in the languages of all ethnic groups.。
"Okay, let's go out, since they want to follow, you might as well let them lead the way, after such a long journey, we really need to rest and rest." Zang Gu said and walked towards the two of them.
The two of them had been standing in place, waiting for Zang Gu and Ling Ya to approach, touching their chests with their right hands, saluting slightly, and then looking at Ling Ya.
Ling Ya understood, and stepped forward to talk to them. After a while, Ling Ya came over to Zang Gu and said, "They will take us to a bar, and they say that all the brave people who pass by here gather there." ”
Zang Gu and his group of seven followed the two little men through several alleys and came to the door of a stone house. This house is different from the others, there is a curtain hanging at the door of the house, and there is the sound of clinking glasses and talking from time to time.
