Time: The nineteenth day of the god month, before the fifth fire.

Imperial Army Occupation Zone, East Gagawa County, west of the city of Samin, where the Mephirang Army is stationed.

Zachin walked quickly to the main tent of the regimental general with the tray in his hand, and on the tray was the regimental general's dinner tonight. As a rotating orderly of the cooking battalion, his most important task today was to deliver dinner to the regimental commander's main tent on time.

And today's preparation was slightly delayed, which naturally affected the time of his delivery, so he had to speed up his pace, which made his movements look a little funny.

"Zachin, you're late, you're definitely going to eat a military stick. Outside the main tent, there were familiar guards who joked with him. But he didn't care, rolled his eyes, and was a little faster at his feet.

When he finally arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the tent.

Then there was the sound of plates and saucers falling to the ground.

"The regimental general has been assassinated!", Zachin screamed and rushed out of the main tent, and was instantly pounced on by the guards outside the tent.

Just as there is a deputy as a reserve, and a deputy as a reserve, the regimental general also has a deputy as a reserve officer. Therefore, the assassination of the regimental general did not cause the collapse of the Mai Fei Lang army, and even the news of the assassination of the regimental general was controlled within a small range. But it is necessary to conceal this news, and it is absolutely impossible to conceal it. So at the first time, the news was urgently reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Region through the magic circle in the camp.

The Legion was to be assassinated in the main tent, and the only one in the entire barracks to be killed, something that had never happened in the centuries-old history of the Empire, so the chiefs of the ministries and districts were also shocked and angry. The anger subsided a little, and the officers in charge decisively gave three instructions.

1. The deputy regiment immediately took over as the acting general;

2. Strictly seal the news and guard against the possible sneak attack of the kingdom army;

3. The mage sealed the big tent and left it for the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Judge Advocate General's Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs to conduct a detailed investigation, and the whole regiment must cooperate with the special envoy in the investigation;

In this way, the deputy regiment took over as the acting regimental general, but he was not happy at all - if the regiment would be killed, then the deputy regiment who was ordered to take over was indeed very likely to become a regular. However, the situation is completely different when Le Weima died so strangely, especially in the third directive, the Ministry of Military Affairs obviously does not trust anyone in the corps, and only insists that it will wait for the Military Intelligence Service and the Judge Advocate General's Office to launch an internal investigation. Although the deputy regiment asked himself about his innocence, the ruthlessness of the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Justice Department still made him shudder, and he was still happy.

The people from the Ministry of Military Affairs came quickly, arriving three days later, and the group of ten people was said to have come from the nearest teleportation circle.

The person who came looked serious, and did not have any greetings at all, and asked for three independent tents near the big tent of the regimental general, one for office and rest, and two for inquiry.

The investigation was divided into two groups, with one group conducting a careful search at the scene and a group of people starting questioning at the same time.

The search at the scene soon ended, and the Levima legion found no obvious injuries on the surface of the body, but after further examination, it was found that there were broken bones on both sides of the forehead (that is, the temples, but the people of the Proz world do not study the meridian acupuncture points of the human body), which is believed to be a fatal location. Judging from Le Vima's expression, the process of death was very short and not painful. Other than that, no weapons, blood, or clothing fragments were found at the scene.

If you can't find anything useful on the spot somewhere else, you can consider using the scene to recreate the circle. The reappearance of the circle here is not the one from the Ministry of Justice, but the "domestic product" developed by the empire itself. Speaking of the birth of this domestic product There is still a story, but I won't talk about it here, in short, although this "domestic product" consumes a lot of money, and the effect is not as good as the magic circle of the Ministry of Legal Management, but at least it is its own, and there is no need to always ask the Ministry of Legal Management, so it is still regarded as a strategic secret weapon by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

However, this magic circle is completely ineffective in the main camp of this regiment, because of the existence of sound and picture interference spells.

In order to avoid leaking secrets, in addition to the forbidden air spell, there are spells that will be specially used to prevent various spells that may be used to spy on the secrets of the main camp, which is the sound and picture interference spell, this spell has only one effect, that is, to produce a kind of magic pattern fluctuations that are invisible to the human eye and inaudible to the human ear, but whether it is an instant spell snooping or a delay in time scene reproduction, only these magic pattern fluctuations can be seen and heard, so as to play the role of information confidentiality.

In short, the on-site search could not provide more useful information, so we could only hope for the work of the interrogation side first.

The interrogation was carried out simultaneously, and the interrogation subjects included all those who had entered the main camp of the regimental general three days before and three days after the assassination of the regimental general.

The interrogation lasted four days, and only half of the people were completed, and at this time, instructions suddenly came from above - the direction of the investigation was adjusted to an outward investigation.

The initial instruction of the Ministry of Emotional Military Affairs was to investigate inwardly, and they believed that this must have been done by insiders - it was not that outsiders had no motives, but that outsiders did not have the opportunity to do so secretly.

The reason for the change in direction of the investigation is very simple—Miredang's side has already publicized the attack on the embankment.

As Le Weima thought before, this kind of thing was definitely a scandal for the imperial court, so after confirming that the information on the attack on the embankment was correct, the imperial court issued an edict to the Ministry of Military Affairs for light and dark.

The clear purpose is for everyone to see: The general of the Mephilang Regiment under the Western Military Region, Columbian Delan Zhonger Du Leweima, who is deeply devastated by the emperor's grace, is greedy for merit and recklessness, and because of his personal interests and public interests, he has harmed the country and the people. The name of the May-African Legion was abolished, and it was waiting to be reorganized......

The secret decree was sent to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and there were not so many routines, so it was simply direct, that is, the Ministry of Military Affairs was to send elite men and horses to continue the cause of Le Weima's death, whether it was suicide in fear of crime or homicide? If so, who did it? How it was done, we must find out everything. For the Ministry of Military Affairs, the concern is not whether Le Weima died unexplained, but whether someone can have the ability to infiltrate the main camp of the regimental general from outside the barracks and assassinate the regimental general. If this is true, it means that dozens of legionnaires of the empire may become the next Le Weima at any time, and if this question is not clarified, whoever is sent to the war zone will not be able to sleep well.

As soon as the decree was made, the relevant people were naturally busy, and the ten special envoys of the Ministry of Military Affairs did not inquire again after supervising the water burial of Le Weima. But they didn't leave either, and until the new investigators took over, they were still here to guard the regimental general's main battalion. As for the situation of the legion, although the revocation of the legion name is a very serious punishment, it is not too difficult for the soldiers to accept that they are also small soldiers wherever they go.

The only exception to the feeling of loss and frustration was naturally the acting general, whose dream of being a regimental general was shattered as he had feared before. But this kind of ugly thing happened, and he was lucky that he was not investigated as an informed accomplice.

At this time, Proud Vertical had already penetrated deep into the territory of the Empire.

The camp of the Mephiran Legion was originally built on the eastern edge of the war zone, from there to the old border between the empire and the kingdom, there is still a distance of nearly 100 taekwons, this large area is the territory occupied by the empire, although there are no forces of resistance here, but it is said that in some villages and towns, there are still scattered remnants, either waiting for the opportunity to escape safely back to the kingdom's controlled area, or simply break into pieces and lie dormant, waiting for the kingdom to fight back and then jump out to cooperate. The Imperial Army did not take these remnants lightly, and arranged for five legions of 100,000 people to be stationed separately, sweeping bandits and tuntian, clearly intending to completely turn this place into an imperial territory.

Navigating through this Imperial Occupation Zone is more difficult for Arrogant than it is to go through a War Zone. In the war zone, whether it is the Kingdom Army or the Imperial Army, the focus of both sides is on the movements of the other party's army, and ordinary people who do not act in groups, everyone is too lazy to pay attention to you. In the occupied areas, the Imperial Army had to clear the unstable elements, so the outposts were spread widely, and there were checkpoints set up by the Imperial Army on the main roads and even on the smaller roads.

However, the purpose of these checkpoints is to maintain law and order, that is, to make things difficult for merchants and civilians, and how dare they blow up a high-profile mage of the Ministry of Justice. Proudly and smoothly all the way to the border of the empire.

The empire and the kingdom of Miredang have been at war for many years, but they have almost always been the main attack of the empire, so on the border between the two countries, the kingdom has built a fortress, and the empire side is open - I don't believe that you dare to take the initiative to attack, come, come.

The old gates of these kingdoms have now become the border gates of the empire, after all, they are still only occupied areas, and it is necessary to distinguish between them. It didn't matter to the Imperial Court, these people were all going to be subjects of the Empire in the future, and it was the border retainers who resisted it, who feared that a large number of landless people from the Old Kingdom would come in, and these people were all destabilizing factors.

Therefore, the border gate implemented a one-way policy of allowing people not to enter, and people who did not have the status of subjects of the empire were forbidden to enter the border, and at the same time, a large number of patrols were set up on the border line to prevent smuggling and infiltration.

Of course, these patrolmen can't stop the arrogance, and it will be easy to pass when it gets dark. But he passed through the checkpoint so smoothly that he went directly to the border without inquiring under habitual thinking. As a result, the border guards were also embarrassed, did they let it go? Who would blame them for violating Sakai's policy? Don't they let it? This is a dignified commission mage, although it is not from his own country, but after all, it is not something they can offend.

So they politely asked Ao Zongheng to stay on the border for a while, and when they went to ask Sakaichen immediately.

In the words of the Ringing Spirits, this is particularly embarrassing.

Ao Zongheng never wanted to expose his identity in a high-profile manner, even if it was just a fake identity, but because it was a fake identity, he knew that he had a lot of sufferers behind him, once his whereabouts were exposed, who knew if these people would continue to entangle him?

But it's too suspicious to retreat now - I didn't say I wouldn't let you, I just said that you would leave if you wanted to go up, and your identity was a bit problematic, right?

Thankfully, he's arrogant.

Not long after he lived in the stone building next to the Guansai, the Guansai was attacked. According to the report afterwards, a wave of invisible attacks of unknown origin smashed the entire barrier and the buildings in a very short time, this wave of attacks was so fierce that many defenders could not avoid being smashed, and the two sleeve mages who were equipped with the army were stunned by the stone at the beginning, but fortunately no one died, not even a single serious injury.

The defenders quickly reacted and searched for the attacker like crazy, but they found nothing for a long time, and they had to come back to clean up the ruins, and it was only then that no one remembered that in the fallen stone building, wasn't there a mage from the legal management department? Why didn't he escape? Look at the big pile of boulders there, or let's continue to forget about this stubble.
