The gathering of nobles was, of course, under someone's surveillance. Even the contents of their conversations were recorded in detail, and most of them were deciphered.
Although the content of the conversation might not be completely correct, the key points should be grasped. Fen asked, "Looks like they've made up their minds to gather tonight. Are we still going to greet them? "
"We still have to go. If they have the misconception that they can fight with numbers, then things will never end. It's better for us to break their unrealistic delusions. "
"But why do you still look so worried? Is there a problem?"
Sighing, Lin said, "I'm just surprised that the nobles don't even know who their opponent is. This is a bit troublesome. "
"Troublesome?" Fen tilted her head and asked. Kaya, who was assisting at the side, also looked at her teacher in confusion.
Lin explained, "Against an unknown enemy, we will raise the threat level of the other party. We can't treat them too seriously. But we still have to make peace with them. I'm worried that if our identities are exposed, the unknown enemy will become known, and they will feel that they have the ability to fight us. Things will be difficult to end. Moreover, the enemy we're facing is a noble of the Empire. Don't you see how arrogant they are? I'm afraid that the enemy's arrogance will make things even more troublesome. And they don't know who we are. Although Viscount Nia has been given strict orders to resolve this matter, how will he do it? "
"There's no need to think so much for them. Even if we think the best result is the other party might not be able to accept it. In the end, strength is everything. The weak can only follow orders. "
"What a standard way of thinking." Lin sighed.
"You still think you're in your hometown. If you want to survive in this world, you have to do things like this. "Fen said firmly.
Looking at that beautiful and determined face, staring at people through those serious eyes, it felt as if they would be sucked in by those deep eyes. It was so convincing. Lin sighed helplessly, "I'm still not used to it."
That night, just as the nobles had planned, Lin and Fen had guessed. Apart from a few who insisted on returning to their mansions to rest, the other nobles all gathered in a military camp. As if they were afraid of falling asleep, they kept on feasting, dancing, eating, and chatting. There was only one purpose: to cheer themselves up.
Those who insisted on returning to their own territory, apart from the one who secretly held the black magic ritual, were the ladies. If they were to stay in a military camp with a group of men, even if they could endure such an environment, their reputation would be ruined.
Even if they were not very scrupulous in private, it was still completely different from being judged in public. Some behavior that were too outrageous, they had to avoid.
In addition, there were a few men who calmly returned to their own mansions. At first, Fen's, but Lin's,'s,'s's's's,'s's's,'s's's. After they had fallen asleep, he hacked into their dormitory, only to find that the target had already left a message before him.
The content of their messages was nothing more than removing themselves from the incident against the Sid and apologizing. After all, no one else had seen it, unless someone made this letter public. Of course, they also offered some compensation and left behind a token that someone could use to obtain some convenience at certain places.
In fact, if one were to use a conspiracy theory to evaluate this, it could also be considered a trap. As long as the person who received the token couldn't help but use it, their identity would be exposed.
However, he had already planned to reveal his identity and negotiate with these nobles in order to obtain better terms. Of course, he wasn't afraid of such a small scheme. Then, he accepted everything that the other party had left behind with a clear conscience and quietly left. From Lin's point of view, a letter stamped with a noble's seal could also be used as evidence. If the other party turned against him and threw out the letter, it would more or less cause trouble for the other party.
As for the other ladies, they were just as scared and intimidated as they should be. In any case, one of the good habits that a certain someone had brought from Earth was "equality between men and women". Moreover, there was no concept of men being superior to women in the Lost Land. Under the premise of strength, there were still many fierce women who could not be looked down upon by men. It was the same among the nobles. Therefore, there was no need to be protective of the fairer sex.
As for the man who was secretly performing black magic rituals, to be honest, he was more troublesome. Because of the destruction left behind in the empty dormitory on the first day, the other party actually treated it as something similar to a teaching material and carefully preserved it. From time to time, he even went into the room to study it up close.
Seeing this, a certain someone knew that the other party was a strong enemy. In order to achieve the goal of threatening the other party, Lin had to change his methods. However, a certain someone did not agree with this kind of method of "sending the devil to hell would be too easy for the other party, so he did the opposite and sent the devil to heaven." Therefore, Lin used a simpler method to deal with the situation, which was to use pure destruction to replace the goblin Totokani's curse that had no effect in the first place.
No matter what, the other party looked like half an expert. If the other party could see that the goblin's words were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, it would be too embarrassing. Moreover, it might also cause negative effects, so Lin had to hide his strength.
After dealing with these small groups of two and three, of course, what was left was the most troublesome group of nobles gathered together. Lin and Fen stood in front of the Reality Map. Kaya and Halumi were still awake. Instead, they were alert. While their two division commanders were busy dealing with the others, they were observing the movement patterns in the camp to see if there were any flaws that could be exploited.
"How is it? Did you see anything?" Lin asked the Lich, who had stopped harassing the other party and was observing the Reality Map with the two girls.
"Now that I've thrown a Spirit Explosion over there, this world should be peaceful."
"Ha-ha, even if you kill this group of nobles, there will still be tens of thousands of nobles to kill. So why bother? There is always a simpler method. "
"It's already the third night that you've been messing around like this, yet there are only a few results. … "Fen was referring to the nobles who had previously left letters admitting defeat," … This is far from simple. "
"One has to look both near and far. Killing may be simple in the early stages, but dealing with the endless stream of revenge or pursuit later on is very troublesome. Destroying the opponent's confidence may be troublesome in the early stages, but generally speaking, there won't be any problems later on. Compared with endless quarrels and fighting, my method can't be considered the most difficult choice. "
"You have your reasons no matter what. Let's not talk about that. I can't think of a good way to deal with this group of nobles. Do you want to kill them, throw an Eternal Imprisonment, and then cause trouble? This is the simplest method I can think of. "
"In the camp." The army is a very special group. The reactions of a strong army and a weak army are completely different. They can't be generalized. For a certain person, the worst result is to cause a disturbance in the camp, a lot of people will die, and then a lot of enmity will be formed. Moreover, with a large number of people, there are also many variables. If there is no way to get in and out quickly, it is hard to guarantee that something unexpected will happen.
"Do you have an idea?" Asked Fen.
"Maybe this time we should keep quiet and make a mark on their foreheads to prove that we can easily take their lives. Being able to get rid of so many people at the same time, there should be no need to do anything else to prove it. "
"Make a mark?"
"Make a blood mark or something. Why don't you draw a cat too? "
"Should I praise you for being creative? Or do you have the leisure to do these tricks? "
"It's all done." After tossing and turning for three consecutive nights, Lin yawned. He said listlessly: "The earlier we deal with them, the earlier we can come back to sleep."
The man and the Lich set out at the same time with a tacit understanding and went to the target location.
The First Brigade of the Tenth Legion of the Guevana Empire. As a regular army encampment, the most basic requirement was to have strict security. Although it wasn't to the extent where the wind couldn't blow in and birds couldn't fall to the ground, there were all kinds of open and hidden sentries crisscrossing, killing all intruders on the spot.
And today, a group of people with noble blood squeezed into this small encampment. These people also included the strongest guards of these nobles. These people were also part of the encampment's defense system, and the standards were stricter than during wartime. It could be said that today's encampment of the First Brigade was as strict as the imperial palace of the Empire.
The lit bonfires almost lit up the night as bright as day. Everyone was on full alert, guarding every path to the outside, staring at every corner of the darkness. This was almost a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five steps. No matter how strong an assassin was, it was impossible to break into the encampment under such vigilance.
Other than manpower, the mages following the army didn't have time to idle either. Other than the regular backup magic facilities, all kinds of detection spells, barriers, and magic arrays were set up in every corner of the encampment. Magic stones were embedded in all the places that required magic stones to power, as if they didn't cost money, and all the magic arrays were activated to the maximum.
The mages following the army even considered the possibility that the enemy might use teleportation spells to invade the encampment, so they used dimensional anchors to prevent all teleportation spells from being used in the encampment, as well as the opening of portals. These methods were used against the teleportation spells already in the maze, and there was countless evidence to prove their effectiveness.
No matter where the enemy came from, whether it was from the sky or from underground, they were confident that they would be able to detect and react immediately, ensuring the safety of the nobles resting in the encampment.
Looking at such a formation, the soldiers didn't believe that any intruder would be so bold and capable to break into this inescapable encampment.
Then, early the next morning, the nobles who woke up according to the camp's schedule noticed a thumb-sized red dot between each other's eyebrows. Everyone was in a bad mood. Even the soldiers who stayed up all night to guard the encampment felt the same. They didn't believe that there were any loopholes in the defenses, nor did they believe that there was a spy leading the way. They also didn't believe that someone could come and go freely under their noses!
However, no matter how much they didn't believe it, they couldn't explain what was happening in front of them. The person hiding in the dark had succeeded again.
