Chapter 984: Old Wounds Recur
"I have just received news that the Bob Legion sent by Edlaide to Monrham has recently won a great victory, and with less than 100,000 men, they have captured the cities of Red Rock Rock, Vanderda, and Skelke. At the same time, they miraculously captured nearly 300,000 Monlin's army!"
"Now that Monlin is a door open, will Edlaide have the idea of taking this opportunity to conquer the entire Monlin Empire?" asked Karen, turning her head at Hamilton.
"In the opinion of the last general, no!"
"On the one hand, all the mobilization and preparations that Edlaide had carried out before were aimed at us, and suddenly changing the direction of the main attack at this time would inevitably cause great confusion;"
"On the other hand, in Edlaide's heart, we are his henchmen! the Monlin Empire is with him, just peaches hanging from the tree in front of his house, and he can pick the fruit of this tree at any time if he wants!"
"So I conclude that Edlaide's current behavior has nothing to do with Monlin, and that his real target is us!" Hamilton shook his head and dismissed Karen's speculation.
"If his goal is us, why hasn't he put up with it until now?" Slint frowned and continued to ask Hamilton.
"I don't know the specific reason, I suggest that we go out of the city and take the initiative to fight Edlaide!
"Out of town?" Slint exchanged a look with Karen, and at this moment, the two of them remembered Victor's reminder to them when he set off: avoid going head-to-head with Edlaide as much as possible!
"Let's see!" Slint pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"Edlaide's boy is cunning, and I even suspect that he is trying to lure us out of town. I agree with the Dharma Protector, and continue to observe for a while, if Edlaide is still dead like he is now, how about we take the general's approach again?" Karen asked politely, turning her head to look at Hamilton.
The two immediate bosses had already made their decisions, and Hamilton could not have said anything more, he nodded slightly.
The three of them had a brief conversation about military affairs, and Hamilton got up to take his leave and walked out of Slint's room.
"General, excuse me!" Hamilton was about to return to his command post when Karen suddenly called out to him from behind.
"What do you command, sir?"
"You're welcome, General, I just wanted to ask the General, what do you guess Edlaide is most likely doing at the moment, or what is he going to do?"
"Edlaide's ideas are wild, and it's hard for me, not even others, to guess what he's going to do now and in the future!" Hamilton shook his head with a wry smile:
"But one thing I'm sure of is that he must be hatching a great conspiracy! He has come to us with thousands of troops and troops, and Edlaide is not for an outing!" Hamilton saluted Karen and turned out of her sight.
"Edlaide, what the hell are you trying to do, why haven't you moved until now?" and at the same moment, the same question rose in the minds of Karen and Victor.
"Victor, come and see, this is the information we just got!" Just as Victor was deeply puzzled, Potter ran in from outside the camp with a surprised expression.
"Edlaide's old injury has recurred?, is the news accurate?" Seeing the information in his hand, Victor felt his heart pound, and he immediately lowered his voice and asked Potter.
"This is the highest-level intelligence that we have just intercepted, Dongwoo, and considering that Edlaide has been closed recently, I think this information has a high degree of credibility!"
"How did you get this information?"
"It's our luck!Do you remember how Edlaide used the military-specific passage to write a letter to his wife, Winnie?"
"Of course, after learning about this situation, I also specially asked you to send someone to pay attention to this line. Didn't you just say that you had given up on this route when you had gained nothing?
"To be exact, to give up for a while. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I sent someone to investigate it again. ”
Gradually, I discovered that Winnie seemed to be particularly concerned about the exact date of Edlaide's letter! Not only that, but she also seemed to be interested in when Edlaide had written this letter to her!"
With this discovery, I investigated Vinnie's various lifestyle habits. Obviously, she's not a woman who is particularly sensitive to numbers and dates!"
"What do you mean, what's the mystery in these dates?" asked Victor, frowning, to Potter.
"There's nothing wrong with the dates themselves, it's still the contents of the letters, but they have to be letters that arrive on those specific dates!" said Potter as he took out a piece of paper full of numbers from his bosom and handed it to Victor.
"What is this?"
"That's the law of time for those special letters from Edlaide!"
"Regularity, what's the pattern?" Victor immediately felt like he was two heads bigger looking at the numbers on the paper, he shook his head with a wry smile, and handed the paper back to Potter.
"You told me to say, I can't explain it for a while, I can only say that this thing is very complicated. This is the result of a long period of time for me to gather all the disciples in my sect who are proficient in numbers!"
"Really?"
"Indeed! After observation, Winnie paid special attention to the letters of these dates!"
"Who is the person who passed on such information, and is this person credible?"
"This little girl is the leader of our sect for five generations, although the level is not very high, but she is definitely loyal and very trustworthy!"
"This little girl wasn't found during Li Zijun's cleanup this time, could it be that Edlaide deliberately leaked the news to her?" Victor said a little worried.
"Probably not! The little girl entered Alec's mansion very early, and originally we placed her next to Vinnie with the intention of letting her use Vinnie to get close to Alec, so as to collect Dongyu's core secrets through Alec!"
"As Edlaide and Vinnie's relationship grows closer, so does the role that this little girl can have! ”
"Now it seems that it is really thanks to that decision at the beginning, otherwise, the little girl may not have escaped the clutches of Edlaide!"
"When did you wake up that little girl, and is she still worth using?"
"A week after Edlaide left Filano City, I sent someone to 'wake up' the little girl. The little girl got in touch with us right away!Through this period of observation, I think this little girl is still worth believing!" Potter looked at Victor and nodded slightly.
"She hasn't been awake for long, how can you have figured out the pattern of communication between Edlaide and Vinnie so quickly?"
"Speaking of which, I would like to praise this little girl for her carelessness! Not only did she keep a record of all the correspondence between Edlaide and Vinnie, but she also paid special attention to Vinnie's reaction to each letter she received. ”
"It is with her records that we have successfully deduced the mystery in such a short period of time!"
"That's not right, for such an important letter, Winnie should burn it every time she reads it, how can she let others easily see the contents inside?" Victor fell for Li Zijun too much, and he had to repeatedly remind himself to be vigilant!
"Indeed, every time Winnie reads Edlaide's letters, she must burn them. Even in this burning process, she never faked it!"
It's just that Winnie has a very bad habit, she likes to read silently, and the more she likes and cares about things, the more she can't help but read them silently. ”
In addition, as a girl, Winnie will inevitably wear some jewelry. For a while, our little girl would help Winnie choose some sleek, oversized ornaments whenever Edlaide might write a letter. Sometimes, she even puts mirrors and the like behind Vinnie. ”
Of course, in addition to these external factors, the little girl also has a special skill: she can memorize anything with ease, word for word, as long as she glances at it. ”
"That's what helped us get this information!"
"What did Winnie do when she learned that Edlaide's old injury had returned, and how did she behave?"
On the surface, Winnie was calm, as if nothing had happened. On this day, she didn't go anywhere, let alone summon anyone. ”
"Actually?"
"Actually, Vinnie doesn't seem to have done anything, except that no one has seen Kaye from the Cult of Light since that day. ”
"You know, under normal circumstances, as long as Kaye is still in Firano, he usually shows up every day. But this time, Archmage Kaye hadn't appeared in front of his followers in days!" Potter's voice added a hint of smugness as he said this.
"Kaye is on his way to our border?"
"That's what I guessed, too!, to prove my guess, Karen and I were all over the place around Dongwoo Camp, but until now, I haven't received accurate news about Kaye!"
"It's right not to find out! If Kaye's strength can still be discovered by you and Karen's men, it will be a big joke!"
"What do you mean by that?" Potter asked with a slight frown at what Victor said. (To be continued.) )
