On the fourth day, General Javed Poole sat in the Government Council. Although he was going to deal with the accumulated paperwork, he was absent-minded. Including the subordinates who assisted on the left and right, they all had a similar attitude.

Viscount Nia was early in the morning, but he swore that the matter would be over today. The general of the Tenth Legion, who had not been able to get a good night's sleep for three days in a row, and the other noble officers, certainly did not want the fourth day to be the same, so he was full of hope for a reply of good news.

The first message received in the afternoon was the herald of the 10th Brigade. The notice has found the whereabouts of some of the enemies, and is preparing to surround them, capture them alive, and lure out the mastermind behind them. This made everyone in the government affairs hall, except the general, cheer a little.

Although Javier Poole was slightly dissatisfied with Barry Nia's unauthorized use of the army. But the abnormality of the opponent, he also thought in his heart that this was not something that ordinary family guards, or adventurers and mercenaries could solve. If it were him, he would have chosen to use the regular army. So Javier did not warn or reprimand, which can be regarded as acquiescing to such an action.

The army has been dispatched, and this time the incident should be resolved. The excellence of the regular army of Gwana, as well as its adaptability to a variety of objectives, is obvious to all in the lost world. Otherwise, it would not be possible to maintain such a territory, resist the ill-intentioned intentions of the surrounding countries, and in turn expand in all directions.

Although the war between countries has been a matter of more than 100 years ago, this does not mean that the army has no opponents to fight. In the natural environment, there is no truly safe place in this dangerous world, where the army of king-level monsters and monsters, and the individual transcendent realm rebels, and no civilization can escape the protection of the army.

But it was night, and in the end, it was unbelievable news. The 10th Brigade was wiped out......

This is information from Javier Poole's most trusted lieutenant.

For such a serious word, 'all annihilation', everyone showed an expression of disbelief. This is not some deadly ambush in the wild, the kind where there is no way to escape.

Even if the Tenth Brigade had experienced three days ago, it had encircled and suppressed a knight who was qualified to challenge the Transcendent Realm, and suffered a lot of losses. But not counting the wounded soldiers who have not returned to the building, the brigade still retains more than half of its combat strength, not to mention the DC (600) people. Are these people pigs? was killed head by head, and even one of them couldn't run back for help or notify the follow-up news, and they all died directly?

Javier Poole looked serious and asked, "What's going on?" What about Barry? What about the people of the Tenth Brigade? ”

"General, I received a report from the citizens about the total destruction of the 10th Brigade. Because the other party did not present any evidence, he only said that if I looked at it myself, I would understand. Considering the stakes, I made a trip myself. And using the camera magic stone that is currently used in the forum, I will bring back the following photos of the scene. ”

This young lieutenant, who has no aristocratic status, but is quite capable of affairs, and is very handsome, embeds the camera magic stone he carries into a special magic circle. And use the large water mirror screen in the government hall to present the photos he took one by one. These are all new things in the past few years, but I have to say, it's really convenient.

And there is no severed limbs in the picture, it is the street scene of the city of Abadan, and then it is just red.

Javier Poole, feeling a waste of time at this inexplicable image, asked unhappily, "So, what do you want me to see?" A red street? As soon as he said this, he himself sensed that something was wrong. Red streets? From the tall towers and flags of the buildings in the distance, it can be roughly seen that this is the city of Abadan. But where are the red streets in this city?

The handsome young adjutant said seriously with a very serious expression: "General, the flesh and blood on the ground are the soldiers of the Tenth Brigade. ”

Choosing to present the photographs, the young adjutant explained what he saw one by one. In a recent photo, the familiar brass-colored remains are faintly visible. "This is the pillar of the 10th Brigade. On the ground, you can probably see the eagle's head sliced into pieces, as well as the wingtips. ——”

Another picture was changed, and it was a piece of metal that had lost its luster. But it can still be seen that this is the part of the officer's armor. It should be the position of the shoulder armor, because of the obvious spiked root shape. The young adjutant pointed to several metal fragments nearby at the same time,

This is supposed to be the wreckage of Captain Barry Nia. This special piece of Imperial armor, no one but him was made of similar materials. And this special luster, with a rough surface, is its characteristic. ——”

The next picture is the obvious border between the white and red grounds. Although the blood spread, the corpse did not.

"- Based on the situation on the scene, it is speculated that this is the position of the forward heavy armor. Fragments of the Imperial Tower Shield can be seen on the screen, as well as some of the emblem patterns. Although the pattern is scattered, the characteristics of the fence, the lion's head, and the snake's tail can still be distinguished. ——”

Changed to the last picture, the young adjutant's hands leave the position of the operation, facing everyone, dreaming of Chinese

—A clean area between pools of blood is seen on the screen, presumably the location of the mages who were surrounded at the time. According to one of the children who witnessed the whole process, it was initially surrounded by four people, two humans and two goblins. Later, two more people suddenly appeared in the encirclement, a man and a woman. After the army began to attack, and the archers fired the first rain of arrows, suddenly the streets were covered in a star-filled night, and then a dense network of white light swept through. In less than a breath, when the streets returned to daylight, the ground was full of the wreckage of the Tenth Brigade. There are no survivors. In addition to the child, several other adults witnessed part of the process. After comparing the confessions of various parties, it can be confirmed that all the non-commissioned officers and men of the 10th Brigade used by Barry Niah should have been killed in battle. ”

Javier Poole, who had a bitter face, didn't want to admit it, but it looked like the evidence was already conclusive. He asked with difficulty, "Is the enemy using a forbidden spell?" What about civilian casualties? "When I ask this question, I actually want to throw the pot on the Magician Association.

The reason why strategic magic is called a forbidden spell is that its ability to mass kill can easily injure innocents. And this is something that is not allowed by the world.

It's not that human life is so important that in war, the actions of the military are infinitely more cruel than the magicians who use strategic magic. Such an excuse was only a reason for the nobles to restrict magicians. And the masters knew that this was just an excuse for the nobles, but it was impossible for them to say a high-profile declaration of anti-humanity and anti-civilization, so they could only become a cat tied to a bell.

But they have sent troops to encircle and suppress the magicians, and they are not allowed to use forbidden spells? I can't say enough about that. Strategy-level magic was originally allowed to be used in warfare against armies. This means that this pot is very difficult to shake out. However, the young adjutant's answer made him feel even more desperate.

"General, according to the results of my visits to neighboring residents, there are no additional losses of people or houses. According to the guidelines of the Imperial Army, no unrelated people are allowed to stay or pass within 2 meters of the queue, and civilians need to be evacuated in the combat area. As long as the non-commissioned officers and men of the 10th Brigade do not forget to strictly abide by the norms of military regulations and eliminate all irrelevant people in advance, then there will be no innocent people in this killing area. And ......"

Listening to the young adjutant's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Javier said dissatisfiedly: "And what, say! ”

"According to witnesses who visited the vicinity, they all testified that the magician did not spend time chanting before the horrific magic was activated. There is a high probability that it is not a forbidden spell. ”

As everyone knows, strategic magic, which is classified as a forbidden spell, is due to its wide range of influence and destructive power, and it takes time for a mage or mage warband to be chanted and brewed, and it is not something that can be performed casually. But if what his favored lieutenant said was true, how could Javier Poole, a soldier, not understand.

As if all his strength had been removed, Javier Poole held his head in a frenzy and asked, "What about Viscount Niya?" ”

"Regarding the viscount, the lower officer has other reports."

Say. Can it be worse anyway? ”

"Viscount Nia, who works in the Department of Commerce, has been killed. According to the description of the adults who were also in the business hall at the time, the assassin suddenly appeared in the business hall and then disappeared suddenly. When he reappeared, he had already appeared beside the viscount, and then with a sword he cut off the viscount's head, and then disappeared again. ”

"Is that the person? It should be him. Javier Poole had a guess. Now that it has been confirmed that the man does have the ability to be elusive, it still makes people feel hopeless.

But the handsome young lieutenant did not stop there, but continued: "General, there are several vicious murders in the city, which must be reported to you. ”

"When is it, do you still need to worry about this? Seeing that the young lieutenant had no intention of retreating, Javier waved his hand, "Forget it, if you have to say it, just say it." ”

"Yes, General. According to the sheriff's report, Aka Nia was killed in a brothel by a male magician who suddenly appeared and used a long sword to split people in half. There was also the third brigade, the leader of the sixth squadron, Alderhill, who was killed during training. Reza Nia was killed in the family's chamber of commerce. ……”

The young adjutant reported more than a dozen homicides in a row, including men and women, old and young, as if it was a ghost day today, and murderers were running around the city, but the more people listened, the more wrong they became. The common denominator of these killings is the surname of the deceased – 'Niya'.

This is the entire Viscount of Nia's family has been cleaned up. But the second person is not surnamed Niah, and the promising young man is even just a commoner without a surname, why......

"Is that kid in the Third Brigade the one rumored to be the illegitimate son of Viscount Nia?" Javier Poole, who suddenly remembered, asked.

"Yes, General, that's the man."
