Bo Suwey's castle changed drastically. Two days ago.
In the Imperial Army Headquarters, a high-level military meeting.
"Your Majesty, the rebels are one and a half days away from Bo Suwey's castle. This castle was built by Duke Bo Suwey over many years. The walls are high and thick, and it will take a lot of effort to take it down. We think we should discuss the specific tactics, "a leader-level Imperial General said.
Nicholas IV shook his head slightly. "Before we decide to attack, there is one more important thing to do."
After a pause, Nicholas said, "The monsters that came out of the ground are currently entrenched in a dark corner of the West Sand Province. They are waiting for us to launch a sneak attack after the battle with the West Sand rebels. Although with the strength of the Imperial Army, we are not afraid of those pointy-eared monsters in a head-on battle, if they launch a sneak attack when our formation is not in order, the consequences will be unpredictable. "
The high-ranking officers in the tent looked at each other and whispered among themselves.
Basically, everyone agreed with the Emperor's judgment.
"We need to send out a search team, one north and one south, to search for the drows and ensure that these monsters have no chance to launch a sneak attack on us." Nicholas led the conversation further. "So, which two of you are willing to carry out this mission?"
The high-ranking officers lowered their heads and said nothing.
The rumors of the underground monsters had always been cruel and ruthless. If the search team really encountered the drows, the consequences could be imagined. They would be lucky to be able to run back, let alone face the enemy. The biggest possibility was that they would be captured and killed by the drows.
Seeing the officers shirking their duties, Nicholas IV's face turned cold. "Why, no one is willing to do this kind of slightly dangerous mission? Are you still Imperial Army men? Where did your sense of honor go? "
Seeing that no one in the tent volunteered, Nicholas IV sighed. "Forget it. It is indeed not good for you to carry out this kind of mission that may lead to death. Then we will postpone the attack plan … Build a camp outside Bo Suwey's castle and prepare for a long-term battle. "
Suddenly, a tall and thin Imperial Army officer stood up and said, "I, Cirick Barnett, am willing to share Your Majesty's burden. Please allow me to lead an army to patrol the south!"
Another strong officer was not to be outdone. "I am also willing to fight for Your Majesty and take on the heavy responsibility of searching the north!"
"Alright."
Nicholas IV heaved a sigh of relief. "The two generals are truly role models for the Empire. Remember, once you find the location of the drow army, immediately report to me through the magic communication rune and report the specific location. "
As he spoke, Nicholas IV asked the guards to hand over two magical communication runes that could not be brought out of the Cain Dimension to the two officers who volunteered.
"Prepare the army. Tomorrow morning, we will march toward Bossuwey City!" Nicholas IV, who had resolved his worries, gave the order in high spirits.
…
The upheaval in Basuvius Castle, one day ago.
The two Imperial Army officers who volunteered to take on the search mission secretly met each other before they set off.
"I've already sent the necessary information to Team Leader Andre through the magic raven," the muscular officer said.
The tall and thin officer named Cyric Barnett looked around and reprimanded in a low voice, "Nazm, why didn't you follow the main force of the Imperial Army? The team leader needs informants to ensure that he understands the Imperial Army's movements! "
Nazm sneered, "Cyric, why didn't you follow the main force, but took the initiative to lead the search team?"
Cyric frowned and said, "The situation is obvious. No one in the Imperial Army is willing to take on this dangerous task. If Nicholas IV postpones the attack and camp, the strategic plan formulated by the team leader will be obstructed. There are not many days left for the third main mission. We must stabilize the Emperor's determination to attack the city! "
After a pause, Cyric continued, "Besides, if I didn't take on the search mission and other Spiritual Realm characters led the search, in case they really found out that the drow army is stationed in the Valley of Ilia in the south … the siege plan will inevitably be interrupted! There are not many days left for the third main mission. We must stabilize the Emperor's determination to attack the city! "
"Yes, so someone needs to stand up in both directions, one north and one south," Nazm said lazily.
Cyric snorted, "After I stand up, the Emperor can use this as an excuse to appoint another person to search in the north! We all know that the drow army is in the south. That person's search will not yield any results. So, there is no need for you to stand up at all. Nazm, with your IQ, I don't believe you did bad things out of good intentions … You did it on purpose! "
Nazm sneered, "Come on, Cyric. You think you're the only smart one?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean." Nazm shook his thick neck, "Don't think I'm uncultured. Boss's raven message has already said that there are Awakened Ones in the Imperial camp who do not belong to Class 129. They have already carried out an investigation in the Central Province. The two idiots, Jett and Morgan, were driven out of the Cain Plane and missed the opportunity to unify! "
Nazm continued, "The main force of the Imperial Army will encounter other Awakened Ones sooner or later and be recognized. In other words, there is a danger of being exposed at any time. So what if I'm lucky enough not to be exposed? When the attack on Basuvius Castle broke out, I had to be driven out of Cain Plane. Otherwise, I would become a plague undead and lose the qualification to be an Awakened! "
"You can find a chance to escape before the siege," Cyric said.
"Hmph, it's not easy to get a parachute on a plane with a bomb. Instead of jumping out immediately, you have to wait until the plane is about to explode for fun?" Nazm shrugged, "Sorry, I don't have the hobby of shooting Hollywood blockbusters."
Nazm spread out his hands, "In short! Nicholas IV has already ordered the army to attack the city. As the emperor, he can't change his orders. Team Leader's plan will definitely succeed. Just wait and see. I'm not interested in arguing with you anymore. "
Cyric gritted his teeth, but it was to no avail. The two Awakened Ones who cut in as officers of the Imperial Army were actually members of the intelligence team of Class 129 of the Divine Court Training Camp. They each led dozens of cavalry and parted ways, one north and one south.
…
Time turned back to the present.
The mountains in the north.
Looking at the green smoke rising from Basuvius Castle in the distance, Awakened Nazm pressed his finger to his left chest, "Amen."
Walking down the mountain, Nazm was in a good mood, "Cyric, that fox, did he really think I was a muscle-bound, simple-minded idiot? Escaping in advance is really a good plan. "
"Sir Nazm, cavalry has appeared in the southern valley," an Imperial Army soldier reported.
"Hmm? Are they our men or the Paracel Sand rebels? "Nazm still faithfully played the role of a senior Imperial officer.
"They are our allies."
"Allies? Why would they appear at this time? "Nazm was secretly surprised, but due to etiquette, he still led his men to greet them.
"General Adolphus, why are you here?" Nazm was shocked when he saw the general at the front of the cavalry. Adolphus was a loyal follower of the emperor and was a viscount.
Viscount Adolphus didn't give Nazm any face. The soldiers under his command surrounded Nazm from both sides.
"His Majesty ordered that Nazm Gunter betrayed the country and defected to the enemy. The evidence is conclusive. He ordered me to lead the army to eliminate the traitor. There is no need to capture him, just execute him on the spot. The search team soldiers are all innocent, but they are not allowed to obstruct the law enforcement. Move! "
