Chapter 1140 (1/2)
”When our warriors were cleaning up the ruins of eboden and found those underground passages extending in all directions under the city, guess what first came to mind?”
”Yes, I guessed that it was probably built by the imperial people to escape in case of danger; or there is another possibility to avoid some disasters when necessary.”
”The situation is almost the same - when we attacked eboden for the first time, our old friend Loren Turin used the city's complex underground transportation network to survive for nearly half a month after the city broke down under the condition of absolute inferiority of troops.”
”But is this really the case? These solid and dying underpasses have been built for more than a hundred years, and may even be as long as the life of this city; I don't think the imperial people 100 years ago could have guessed that this city would be captured by us - so why didn't they strengthen the city's defense?”
”Oh! And most importantly, as an underground passage for escape when necessary, the only exit is aimed at the sewage outlet on the coast. What a genius to think of a wonderful design. If I had such a subordinate, I would definitely make him die.”
”So I came to the conclusion that this underpass is not for escape, on the contrary, it is the real oldest city of eboden; the most important thing is that I found a book left by the wizard tower, which says that the oldest and real nine pointed star wizard tower was built with the power of the nine pointed star Holy Grail.”
”An underground passage full of void force all over the underground of eboden... Well, guess what I thought? Yes, if I stuffed it with all kinds of explosives and buried several launchers underground, we could blow up not only the whole city, but the whole 'eboden'
”The Azores in the city and the imperial army against us outside the city... Will die hard. They all have to be destroyed in this explosion as a surprise for them to defeat me!”
”Even this is not the most wonderful. The most wonderful thing is that the completely uncontrolled and expanding void force caused by such an explosion will lead to very terrible results.”
”Yes, just like our hometown that has been eroded by the force of emptiness... The reality has been completely distorted, the land and the surrounding ecology have become messy, all living and dead have been completely eroded by the force of emptiness, the puppets of evil gods appear one by one, and the inflated force of emptiness can not be restrained. Finally, starting from eboden, the whole empire has been dragged into the water!”
”Then they will know what the price is to stop me.”
”See, little attendant, this is our last secret weapon and what I want to give you.”
”When we are defeated, I am responsible for the glorious death and say two witty and beautiful words to the imperial people opposite to delay time; you are responsible for turning on this thing after receiving the signal and sending us to heaven with the enemy, so...”
……………………
”... I guess you all know?”
In the barracks prison, Brandon, who was holding his shoulder, looked at the elf entourage trembling behind the iron fence, and asked behind him in a very positive tone.
The black haired wizard standing behind him, as well as Archduke ellemans and elbird, the former royal wizard consultant, looked at each other with different expressions.
”Tell me, you must have something to say - you should be the three people I trust most in the whole empire.” his highness turned his head and stared at the Obsidian eyes like burning pupils: ”think carefully and tell me if this is the enemy's trap?”
”Lauren, you're late. You're the first.”
Almost as soon as Brandon finished, the black haired wizard immediately felt two more burning eyes beside him, staring at himself, and couldn't help sighing.
Can't you let me rest for five minutes?
Facing Brandon's expectant eyes, the dark haired wizard slowly opened his mouth:
”If you want advice, not for the time being; but I can assure you of another thing - the defected Azor elf, he didn't lie.”
The voice fell, and the elf attendants in the cell suddenly shook, and a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the ”disgraced Prince”.
”How do you know he's not lying?”
Brandon wants to struggle again.
”I just know.”
The dark haired wizard shrugged without changing his face.
”Well...” Brandon's expression was so tangled that he couldn't be more tangled.
His royal highness, who was blocked by others for the first time, did not continue to question - not without doubt, but he did not have a reason to deceive himself.
As for the alchemist sent to meet him, will there be any small moves? Certainly, but Brandon is not worried at all... Because a liar won't believe a rogue's words. He has this confidence in His Wizard adviser.
But this is by no means equal to Brandon's recognition: ”even if he didn't lie, it doesn't mean it's not a trap - the madman's downline across the street is so low that I'm ashamed of myself. He can definitely deceive people with the truth.”
”Bury a bomb in his old nest and die with the enemy? He has a problem in his mind. Even if he is going to die, the Azores will die first. What does it have to do with us? He is not afraid that one of his men will be careless and send himself to heaven first when the war starts!”
”Then again, the fact that this guy didn't lie doesn't mean that rodria Azor is telling the truth. How can we be frightened by one or two words of the enemy...”
”Prudence does not equal timidity, your highness!”
Archduke ellemans, who frowned slightly, couldn't help interrupting Brandon, stepped forward and said, ”whether it's true or not, we should be prepared for the enemy's possible death!”
”It's about the fate of the Empire. You can't make a decision on impulse. That's irresponsible for the Empire - even if it's just the traps and bait used by the enemy to deceive us, it still has reference value.”
The dark haired wizard sighed as he looked at Julie weltz, who was sincere and desperately trying to persuade Brandon.
If he can be persuaded, he is Brandon de sallion.
”So we have to suspend the attack and even negotiate with the enemy because of one or two words of intimidation from the enemy. What are we gathering so many troops for, counting the heads?”
Sure enough... Almost as soon as Archduke ellemans finished, Brandon, who looked unhappy, immediately said:
”For this war, we mobilized all principalities, all armies, all resources and wealth - just to feed the soldiers in the barracks every day, people outside the imperial capital have to starve; if you don't kill them all as soon as possible, are you going to keep them for the festival in the midsummer?!”
”But if eboden really explodes...”
”Can't you trade a principality for an empire?” Brandon snapped angrily.
”Your Highness!”
Elbird, who remained silent all the time, finally stood up, bowed to Brandon and said respectfully, ”if the Azores really detonated eboden with an alchemical bomb, the consequence is definitely not just to compensate a principality of eboden!”
