The outline of Longyan Fort became clearer and clearer, and Lin De breathed a sigh of relief, so he didn't have to worry about orcs here. He glanced at Link, who didn't pay a word to him all the way, and didn't know what he was thinking with a gloomy face.
It just so happened that Erwin was training with the newcomers, and Lind directly put the merchant half-elf in front of him.
As soon as he heard that the exchange of food was a major event tantamount to collaborating with the enemy, Elwin immediately signaled to keep quiet, let them stay put, and went to ask the regimental commander for instructions.
Link paced back and forth, thinking a lot about it on the way back, from the possibility of orcs digging tunnels to Gonzalez and Su Wu, who had been rushed north, and always felt that there was a connection between the two.
There is no such coincidence in the world, and the images that the prophecy saw lingered in Link's mind for a long time, and the uneasiness was like a net that wrapped around him, and every time he thought about it, he tightened it tighter.
No, instead of being in a hurry here, I'll go back to reality and ask Su Wu directly.
"Where are you going? Didn't you make us wait here?"
"You report to the regimental commander, I'm in a bit of a hurry. β
Seeing Link running into the fortress without looking back, Linde secretly rejoiced, hey~ I am credited with catching the spy.
Returning to the cubicle and locking the door, putting water and food on the head of the bed, Link explained that the wind falcon would sleep for one or two days in a row because of his physique, and he must ensure that no one can get near him during this period, otherwise his life will be in danger. He knew that now was not the time to go offline, but there was an ominous premonition urging in his heart, hurry up, it would be too late to be late.
Back in reality, it was 1 o'clock in the evening, and Link called Su Wu's mobile phone, praying in his heart that he must be awake.
"At this time period, what's the urgent matter over there in Longyan Fort?"
The call went through, but Link didn't know what to ask first.
"Hello?"
"Gonzalez, he's a little weird......" Link decided to ask the Spaniard what was going on, and the words before leaving were almost like last words, which was very uncomfortable to hear.
"I noticed it too. He's been hanging in the game almost all day lately, which is unusual. He is an extremely self-disciplined person, and his life and rest are also very regular, and he is never playful. Maybe it's a problem at work, or something in the family, you know that foreigners pay attention to personal **, and I don't want to ask too much. β
While Gonzalez has been a bit eccentric lately, it's still in the normal realm overall. Su Wu was even more worried about his own safety, his rank was only an expert, and it was not a good phenomenon to suddenly skip the master and go directly to the peak-level map.
"The log displayed on the computer is still to assist the defenders of Longyan Fort in defense, and there is no change to the north at all. β
"The main quest hasn't changed?" Link snapped a keyword. Not to mention the main line, it is some verbal promises to others, which will also be noted in detail on the log, which is too abnormal. Even if Frost Frost saw through my death, it should be against me, and the two of them didn't do anything to get it noticed......
"Ahh
Link suddenly shouted, startling Su Wu.
"I see! I see! It's because of my relationship, Frost wants to deal with you. β
Su Wu resolutely denied, "Impossible! Frost Cold may kill because of your profession, but it doesn't care about a small character like me at all." Link, I'm just an elemental envoy, do you know the difference between an expert and a legend?"
"Listen to me, I'm not trying to exaggerate the facts, the Riteweaver can't be predicted by prophecy, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have other sources of information. We've all been in Riverdale, and at least half of the town has seen the three of us go in and out of the Adventurers' Guild together. Link couldn't convince Su Wu, and he couldn't believe that Frost, the boss of the story, would target two players who didn't pose much threat to it.
"No, no, no, you don't realize the severity of things at all, and Frost will not let anyone go...... I mean, it won't allow any existence that threatens it. Link was a little incoherent with excitement.
"But you've already cheated to death, there are so many players in the game, why is it targeting the two of us?"
"It's trying to erase traces of its past so that no one knows where its lifebox is. That's right, I'm cheating to death now, but you've been in contact with me, that's the reason! There are so many people in Longyan Fort, why do you want to name and transfer the two of you to the north? Especially you, why aren't you a master-level mage leader, but let you go? It really has its eye on you. Frost can take out two pinnacle-ranked masters before they can transform into a lich, and they can easily level you out. Quickly find a way to break away from the team, it's too late to get to the north, you don't want to die. β
Su Wu was moved by Link's words. Of course, he didn't want to die, but the military order could not be violated, unless Commander Alex ordered them to return, otherwise escaping halfway would not only bear the name of deserters, but also lose their main talent because they broke away from the main line, and it would be even more difficult for them to protect themselves.
If it can be proven that the orcs dug underground tunnels, there is a good reason for the commander to recall the troops sent to the north. Link asked Su Wu to find a way to slow down the march, and he found a way to get the commander to take back the order.
Hanging up the phone, not knowing that his stomach was growling with hunger, Link went back to bed and lay down. Thankfully, only a few hours had passed since the call, and he jumped up from the stone bed and headed straight for Dante's furnace to ask the old dwarf if there were any gnomes living in the nearby underground.
"There's a city near Nax, with a small population, a few thousand, why do you ask this?"
Nax: yes, that's connected.
Link told SΓΉ Dante that Gonzalez was in danger and that the commander had to bring back the two legions that had gone north to support.
The old dwarf shook his head, Longyan Fort had long known that Nax was secretly trading food with the orcs, because this could indeed alleviate the orc infestation, so the commander turned a blind eye.
"It's not just Gonzalez, it's Longyan Fort, it's hard to protect itself!" Link said, recounting the sight of orcs enslaving gnomes to dig underground.
"It's unlikely to bypass Longyan Fort. Dante still shook his head, "There is the largest night elf city in the southwest near Aiden City, and invading the territory of the night elves without permission is equivalent to starting another war, even if they are both in the chaos camp." Besides, digging near Longyan Fort, how could we not be aware of such a big movement, and we had already considered this at the place where it was built. Do you know how much manpower and time it takes to dig a tunnel that leads to Inner 6? It took us twenty years to build this underground fortress? After all, Nax is Hohenheim's territory, and even if the lord will make private deals with orcs for the sake of border stability, he will never be a traitor to bring orcs into Inner 6. Moreover, even if the orcs successfully bypassed Longyan Fort, the army here was still there, and this battle would still have to be fought, wouldn't it be meaningless to dig tunnels. β
Dante's answer made Link realize that he had deduced something wrong.
That's right, it takes a lot of time and work, and even if you succeed in entering the inner 6, you still have to fight, but ...... What if the purpose of the orcs wasn't to get around Longyan Fort? Wouldn't it be easier to dig under the fortress and make a blast-like vibration destroy this impenetrable barrier?
"He's not saying it's impossible, Master Dante. The closed door was pushed open, and Claudia, the head of the Scout, walked in, followed by the half-elf Elwin, and Dante and Link were completely unaware that they were hiding outside and eavesdropping.
"I participated in the design and construction of Longyan Fort throughout the whole process, the bottom of the fortress is laid with pipes dedicated to detecting underground movements, and Master Bray himself set up a perpetual motion monitoring device, which is why the fortress can stand for hundreds of years. "Dante is confident in the dwarven craft.
Claudia glanced at Link, "What the gods see is absolute truth, a message from the gods to the messenger, do you suspect him of lying?"
"No, I'm just ......"
"Also, you seem to have forgotten about the abilities of the God of Shadows. β
The reminder of the female leader made Dante's face change: "Conspiracy enchantment!" The more evil it is, the less likely it is to be detected by the target, and it is Malik's priesthood ability.
"Yes, as long as he participates, even gods will be blinded. Claudia nodded, "Those surveillance spells will be useless, it has been too long since the last great war, this is a hard-won peace for us, but it is a blasphemy against the orcs who believe in the god of war." β
While Dante and Claudia are arguing, Link walks up to the half-elf and asks him why he wants to reveal his identity, isn't it a promise that he won't tell it.
"The Commander is furious and says that he wants to punish the scout who kidnapped and framed the Nax's merchants, and the scout who went on your mission with you has been imprisoned. As for the merchant, he had been taken away by a messenger from Nax's city before dinner. I was worried about your safety, and I had to confess your identity to the regimental commander......" Erwin looked helpless. He also couldn't help it, it would be dangerous to really let Link go to the confinement room, in addition to some errant mercenaries, there were also captured outlaws.
"These are just speculations!" Dante waved his arms anxiously, "we can't convince the Commander without real evidence." β
"I'll prove it to him. Everyone's eyes were focused on Link because of the words, "I'll go deep underground, find evidence of the orcs digging tunnels, and stop them." β
This time it was Dante's turn to be surprised, not to intervene in the war between the government and the species is the iron law of the children of nature, and it was because of the help of humans and orcs that Befast lost the identity of the guardian of the Pillar of the Earth. Could it be that Link is going to make the same choice?
Alwyn expressed the same concern that the newborn Chosen One could not be degraded by this.
"You don't have to worry about that, this has been allowed by the gods from the beginning. Link was convinced that this was the instructions of the gods of nature, otherwise he would not have seen the orcs enslaving the gnomes digging the passage through the gods.
Claudia thinks that it is too dangerous for Link to go alone, and she wants to go with her, and if she can find evidence, she is responsible for convincing the commander.
