Back at the camp, the "Kunpeng" landed.

After sending a small vehicle to Yaxi and appointing two staff officers to report back for instructions, General Wang held a small meeting, which was attended by Adjutant General Yang Jingjiao and the staff commanders of the Western Expeditionary Army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the surrender of Paterbon just now did catch me a little off guard, and I don't know if I would have dealt with it properly?"

"General Wang is neither humble nor arrogant, and there is nothing wrong with showing the demeanor of the imperial generals and the military and national prestige!"

"That's necessary, General Wang is out of the horse, can that lose the prestige of the country?"

"Stop, stop, I won't say much about these sycophants, haha, what kind of goods I am, I still understand, isn't it just a martial artist!"

Wang Cianming immediately stopped the flattery that was about to flood, and tilted his head to look at Yang Jingjiao:

"Lao Yang, what do you say, what kind of charter is the other party?"

"General Wang, I think the other party really surrendered."

Yang Jingjiao's experience is more experienced than his age:

"According to the analysis of all kinds of information we have detected, the other party should not have used fraud, and there is no even a minimum of city defense and garrison troops, so what can be done?

The Battle of Iasi killed the opponent's 200,000 troops and consumed so many supplies, what the hell do you think this place has become?

I estimated that the other party was able to muster together so many manpower and equipment, all of which were the results of those years, and as soon as they were scrapped, they were completely confused. ”

"Well, I feel that way too."

Wang Cianming was a little relieved, and glanced at everyone:

"Everyone, I want to hear your opinions, you can say whatever you want, I never look down on anyone with my words, after all, everyone has a black eye, and they all rely on blindness and guessing."

"Yes, what General Wang and Lord Yang said basically covers everything we can think of."

"Otherwise, General, it will take time to wait for the news anyway, or we will go out separately to investigate."

"It makes sense, until now, there have been no reports from the sergeants who have taken over the city that they have been counterattacked, and it seems that this Paterbang is really a bear."

Welling listened to everyone's opinions, and he couldn't be dumbfounded:

"General Wang, when the enemy fled in the Battle of Iasi, some of them should have escaped.

After all, it was a large army formed by the Yama Legion of Paterbang, the Undead Legion of Herbang, and the Long River Legion of Kerala, and our artillery did not destroy all their vehicles, and at least a few thousand people ran away. ”

Wang Cianming and the others perked up, feeling that Wei Ling's words were not so nonsense, and they all looked at Wei Ling, waiting for him to continue his analysis.

"Since so many remnants have escaped, even if the undead have fled back to Helbon, and the Long River Legion has fled back to Kera State, what about the Yama Legion who have fled back to Pat? We didn't see it, not even a single sergeant.

Based on this situation, I estimate that this state of Patter is surrounded by plains and forests, and it is not easy to hide one or two thousand people. ”

"Makes sense! Please continue. ”

"After all, the Yama Legion is still famous, so many middle and low-level officers and sergeants are estimated to be dead, but the high-level must still have absconded, which has to put pressure on the other party, and must be handed over.

Also, the military factory, even if it has stopped working now, but the military factory must all be dismantled, packed and taken away!

In the end, I think that in such a big city, there would not be just one temple, otherwise if there was a ceremony, it would not be possible for millions of people to crowd into the square, and it would not be able to squeeze in.

Therefore, I analyzed that the temple today should be the largest temple, and there should be many small temples, and those so-called magicians should be scattered among the small temples in the city.

These people, we have to screen, and those who participate in the war must be punished. ”

Yang Jingjiao smiled:

"Haha, it makes sense, Lao Yang, I'll give you a big thumbs up!

Welling's friends are really smart, and if they're idle anyway, they're idle, at least Welling's analysis can stand, and we have a direction. ”

Wang Cassia nodded approvingly:

"Yes, Lao Yang is right, it is estimated that those deserters want to play yin with us, negotiate well, and they will come out when we leave.

If they don't talk well, they will play hide and seek with us, and in the future, we will have to find out about them. ”

So, General Wang made a decision.

All sergeants who block and control the checkpoints at each intersection are released from the control of the passage of citizens.

The formation was reduced, most of the sergeants returned to the barracks, and a small number of sergeants monitored the entire city in separate areas.

Send medium-sized vehicles to search in the forests dozens of kilometers outside the city, and kill the remaining sergeants if they find them.

As for the warlocks, they formed small groups and went out into the city separately.

There is no need to harass civilians, consult more, investigate the temple, investigate the whereabouts of the magician.

Of course, this kind of meticulous work can only be handed over to the warlocks of the various subordinate detachments.

……

Welling did not find anyone to form a team, and walked out of the camp alone with the palace, and walked towards the city of Patbang.

It's summer, and the latitude of Patbang is much lower than that of Iasi, and the altitude is much lower, and the humidity in the air makes it feel very hot.

However, this is not a big problem for today's Imperial soldiers.

Almost all ordinary citizens of the Empire, most of whom have done genetic optimization interventions, have a relatively strong ability to self-regulate their bodies.

And for Welling, the hotter and colder conditions can not be cared about at all.

His body has been optimized to the point where even Iasi's audit system can't accurately judge.

The citizens of Patbang generally seemed poor and insensitive, and there was only fear and dodging in their eyes towards the foreign warlocks who passed by, such as Welling and Shougong, but there was not much hatred in their eyes.

The dirt road, without any paving, was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Some low-level civilians, shirtless and wearing a pair of loose and dirty dark red pants underneath, galloped past.

Under their unshoed feet, dust was stirred up and mixed with the complex smell of soot and excrement in the air.

Some of the tramps, who were obviously wilderness hunters, squatted on the side of the road in groups, looking at Welling and Shougong who walked leisurely, although there were all kinds of greed in their eyes that could not be concealed, they only dared to peep secretly with hateful eyes.

The people here, except for a small number of people, who were using trolleys, most of them were carrying various items on their heads, huge packages, bundles of cloth, bloated jugs, etc., and Welling couldn't help but tilt his head and twist his neck.

The two of them wandered around the market, believing in the reins, without preset directions, and looking at everything around them with interest, which was also a rare experience for the two of them.

This is the same as the Empire's Iasi County, which is simply two completely different worlds, one advanced and avant-garde, the other ignorant and backward.

At this moment, there was a subtle hint in his consciousness, and Welling received a message.

Although it is not possible to connect to the "Jianmu" system now, with the control of the entire city by the Western Expeditionary Army, the messages between the sergeants of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the network chain composed of many "totem poles" and "Di Ting", are still supported.

It was Li Lingyou who left a message, saying that he was also going out to the city to investigate and consult Welling's location.

Welling compared the map of the entire city of Patbang with his memories in the sea, and found that he and the palace had unconsciously walked to the west of the city.

Judging from the surrounding buildings, this area is about a relatively poor and low-level area.

restored the general location to Li Lingyou, Wei Ling did not stop and waited, and continued to walk around with the palace.

Walking to a small courtyard with stone walls and relatively tidy looks, Welling saw that the courtyard had no gate and the courtyard was empty, but it was clean and tidy, so he walked in.

As soon as I entered the small courtyard, I found that this small courtyard did not seem to be the residence of ordinary residents.

There are several similar rooms in the courtyard, and no furniture has been found in each room, but more than a dozen cushions are placed on the floor, which looks like a primary school in this area.

In the last room, Welling found a boy of six or seven years old, sitting alone on a cushion with his cheeks propped up.

The child's clothes were shabby, but his eyes were bright, and the appearance of Wei Ling and Shougong coming in, both of them in black robes, made the child a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, little brother, we have no ill will."

Welling sent a message to the child, imprinting the other party's knowledge, and secretly used an emotion-stripping ability.

The child was instantly freed from fear, his big eyes were clean and clear, he did not activate the mind body, nor did he implant an artificial mind body, he could only communicate with Welling in words:

"You...... Are you those who come from the East and don't believe in God? ”

Welling was stunned, and Shougong had instantly packed and lost his language information module to Welling.

After Welling received the packet, his divine sense looked at it and instantly understood the other party's language:

"Yes, we are people of the East."

"Are you going to conquer us?"

"No, we are here to punish those who take the initiative to provoke war and invade our country."

"Oh, but, sir, you are unbelievers, you have killed many of us, and you will control our cities and hometowns."

"Hmm...... It's a pity that a lot of people died on our land, but don't you think it's wrong for them to invade our land? ”

"Sir didn't say who was right or wrong, he just said that the Lord wouldn't like you, and that we were the chosen ones."

Welling laughed dumbly:

"Has your husband ever seen the Divine Master?"

"Probably not, it is said that the priest of the Great Temple, he is qualified to meet the messenger of the Divine Lord, and after he dies, he can go to the Heavenly Garden of the Divine Lord."

Welling is interested:

"Oh? What is the messenger of God? ”

"Sir said that the messenger of the god is an all-round master of magic, a collection of wise men in the world, a sage of thought, he knows a lot of magic, as long as we study carefully, we can also learn a lot of magic in the future."

Welling nodded with a smile:

"Oh, I see, you're so smart, you're sure you'll learn magic, is this your school?"

Receiving praise from strangers, the child nodded shyly:

"Sort of, most of the children in this city don't go to school, they don't need to read, and the smartest kids take time here to learn from the master, pray to the gods, and comprehend magic."

"And are you the smartest kid chosen?"

The boy was a little embarrassed, but still proud:

"Yes, I'm only a little smarter than my brothers, today is not a day of prayer, I came by myself."

Welling gave him an encouragement:

"Oh, that's good, as long as you work hard, you will definitely get your wish!"

The boy was a little excited, and felt that the unbelievers from the East did not seem to be as terrible as he said.

Welling and Shougong nodded, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.

I didn't go far, and I was greeted by a middle-aged man in a black and thin robe, wearing a gray and white robe, walking in a hurry, and constantly looking behind him.

As soon as he saw Wei Ling coming out of the courtyard, the middle-aged man's face changed, he glared at Wei Ling, and hurriedly walked into the small courtyard.

Wei Ling said in his heart, this is most likely the gentleman in the boy's mouth, just when he passed by, Wei Ling checked his spiritual consciousness sea state, and it is likely that he is a low-level warlock, oh no, a low-level magician.

The other party is an adult, and at a glance, he knows that people like Wei Ling and Shougong are warlocks from the empire, so he naturally will not have a good impression.

The two of them were about to walk around casually again, when they found that in the direction where the middle-aged man came just now, five more warlocks from the empire came.

The leaders turned out to be Wang Guangbai and Wang Xixin, and Zheng Jian was also there.
