Chapter 1429 Listening and Deciding

"As you command, Your Majesty, the human race, this is what happened."

Nall took a deep breath slowly, trying to calm himself down, and then began to describe.

Just three hours ago, Gnar was supposed to be an accompanying general, following Dana and Davis to inspect the Forestside Fortress, an important town on the northern border of Dragonborn.

After arriving at the fortress, Gnar and several other generals inspected and consolidated the city defense under Dana's orders, while Dana and Davis went to our scout strongholds around the fortress to learn about the latest situation.

"According to the scheduled plan, Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Zhan Yi should have returned to the fortress two hours ago at the latest. As a result, General Mo and others waited until two and a quarter hours, but still did not see Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Prince. figure."

Nar's dragon face was full of anxiety and urgency, and continued: "Seeing that the time had passed, the general and others realized that the situation was strange, and immediately used magic communication to communicate, but they could not contact Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince at all. Your Highness."

"At this point, the general and others are sure that something must have happened to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Highness the Prince, because they have a strong sense of time and this has never happened before."

"Then, the general and others immediately led the elite troops of the fortress to search along the road, and went to all the surrounding spy strongholds to verify the situation, but the results were chilling."

Nal's voice became more and more frustrated, and he added: "Her Majesty the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Prince, and the personal guards seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. There was no trace at all on the road they passed, and there was not even a trace of a battle."

After hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Different from the strong human race, the dragon-born strong ones are more accustomed to flying and moving, and it is indeed difficult to leave obvious traces on the path, let alone footprints.

In addition, there is another thing that is extremely concerning, and that is the end of Gnar's last sentence.

"Unexpectedly, there is not even a trace... The Dragonborn Queen and Prince Zhanyi are both sixth-level powerhouses, and if I remember correctly, most of the members of the Dragonborn Guards have also reached the fifth level, and there are even sixth-level ones. Strong, the most important thing is that the members of the Guards are well-trained, and they will definitely send out a signal as soon as possible if something unusual happens. "

Fanny's fair face was full of solemnity, and she frowned and said: "This undoubtedly means that if they encounter a strong enemy, the opponent's strength is obviously overwhelming and has been carefully deployed, so that they have no chance at all." Any time to react."

"In other words, was this an elaborate trap?"

Shuerte's old wood-carved face was full of contemplation, and he thought thoughtfully: "The only one who can do this is the opposite force. It cannot be the work of rampaging monsters or a group of monsters."

"Elder Shuert is right, but is there another possibility?"

Bruno gently stroked the thick hair on the cow's face and expressed his thoughts: "Just like our previous Tauren fleet, Prince Zhanyi and the others may have unknowingly entered a kind of barrier area. ?”

"Although this is theoretically possible, in practice it can be completely ruled out."

Nal nodded to Bruno and introduced: "The general does not know that the forest edge fortress mentioned just now is actually inherited by us from the ancient dragonborn fortress before the blank era."

"Among them, although most of the ancient arrays are no longer usable, there is only one ancient array that can still operate normally, and that is the space fluctuation detection array."

"Although we cannot copy this extremely exquisite ancient magic array, we have thoroughly mastered it through three thousand years of experience in using it. The detection range of the array completely covers all the secret agent bases and the paths of Her Majesty the Queen and others. , and even covers a considerable part of the opposite land.”

"For more than a thousand years, even the Celestial Market, a place blessed by gods, has appeared near the fortress many times, and it has been able to detect it perfectly, which proves its powerful function and extremely high sensitivity."

Nal sighed softly and concluded: "This means that whether it is a teleportation spell or the appearance of the entrance to the barrier area, it will be easily sensed by the magic array. However, at the time of the incident, the magic array did not Any reaction."

"Is the possibility of accidentally entering the barrier area zero?"

Chris pondered for a moment, then asked: "General Narr, when Her Majesty the Dragonborn Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Zhan Yi disappeared, even if there were no traces left, it should be possible to deduce based on the feedback from the spy base. Can you tell me the approximate time and path of your disappearance?”

"Back to the leader of the Wood Goblin Clan, this is exactly what the general is going to say next."

Nal held the teacup tightly and responded: "According to the feedback from the spy base, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Prince completed their mission on time and disappeared on their way back to the fortress. The time was two hours ago. We also locked the specific details. "

"In other words, did the Dragonborn Queen, Prince Zhanyi and others disappear between a quarter of two hours ago and a quarter of two hours? No, since the possibility of space has been ruled out, it is more accurate to say, They must have been attacked."

Han Ershu gently rubbed his rough chin and said thoughtfully: "To be able to do all this quietly within half an hour is indeed an extremely meticulous operation and requires extremely high strength. , and the most likely mastermind behind this is the Rainforest Fortress Alliance opposite."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

The Rainforest Fortress Alliance that Han Ershu mentioned is one of the two alliance forces that border our territory and are increasing troops on our side. It is mainly connected to the territory of Dragonborn and Flower Fairy.

The forest edge fortress where the incident occurred is our fortress located on the border between the opponent and us. In other words, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance does have the biggest suspicion.

"Your Excellency, the Troll Chief, is right. This is also our point of view."

Nar nodded heavily, and a trace of anger began to appear on the dragon's face: "Around the path where Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince disappeared, we only found a large number of fresh footprints of centaurs!"

"Centaur? As a member of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, the Centaur's own strength is already very good, enough to compete with the flower fairy. Coupled with the cooperation of other strong men of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, it is really easy to do all this. "

Fanny still frowned, and then said: "But Sir Hanershu has just concluded that this is an extremely careful operation. If the attackers are really the Forest Fortress Alliance, how could they leave such obvious traces?" footprints?"

"This is indeed a bit unreasonable."

Broy tilted his chin and frowned as well: "Is it possible that the Desert Alliance is the real attacker? The reason why they left such obvious footprints is actually to frame the Rainforest Fortress Alliance?"

Lei Xiao was still listening carefully to everyone's words and was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

The Desert Alliance mentioned by Broy is, like the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, another alliance force close to us. It is mainly bordered by the trolls and tauren. It is also the last force of the two alliances to increase their troops. .

“This possibility cannot be ignored and is more in line with the current situation.”

Shuert's old face showed a hint of approval, and he echoed: "I also agree that the attacker is the Desolate Sand Alliance."

"But having said that, whether it is the Forest Fortress Alliance or the Deserted Sand Alliance, why do they attack the Dragonborn Queen and Prince Zhanyi?"

Bruno obviously hasn't fully understood the current situation, and the cow's face is full of confusion.

"The answer is actually very simple, that is to provoke disputes between us and one of the parties."

Lei Xiao finally spoke slowly and responded: "As long as we have a full-scale war with one of the forces, the other force will naturally benefit from it. This is the basis of Broy's deduction just now."

"His Majesty the Human Race is right. For more than a thousand years, the Forest Fortress Alliance and the Deserted Sand Alliance have been in a state of incompatibility, with frequent disputes between them."

Hanershu nodded heavily and agreed: "So, the answer is self-evident."

"I understand it completely. In this way, the reason why General Nar and the Troll Chief thought that the Forest Fortress Alliance was the attacker is because the footprints were most likely left intentionally by the Forest Fortress Alliance in order to use reverse engineering. Thinking, let us focus our suspicion on the Desert Alliance! "

Bruno nodded with enlightenment and suddenly realized: "It seems that both the Forest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance do have corresponding motives!"

"Then who is the real mastermind?"

Ariel obviously understood the current situation completely, and frowned.

"We don't know the answer yet."

Lei Xiao took over the conversation and first looked at the anxious Nal and other dragonborn generals and said: "Since the opponent's target is not Dana, Davis and others, and there are no traces or corpses of the battle, then There should be no accidents with them, that’s the only thing we can confirm at the moment.”

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Naer and others nodded in agreement, and the anxiety and urgency on Zhang Long's face was obviously relieved a lot.

"But no matter what, we must find Dana and Davis as soon as possible, and make those behind the scenes pay a price they can't afford."

Lei Xiao's eyes were as bright as fire and he spoke again.

In fact, Lei Xiao clearly understood in his heart that the missing strong men on our side this time were not only Dana and Davis, but also a squadron-sized personal guard. Even if the attackers would leave the leader Dana and others alive, Those Guards soldiers are probably in danger as well.

And the words he just said to Nall and others were more of a kind of comfort.

In addition, there is one thing that I am extremely concerned about.

That is the reason why the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance increased their troops at the same time. Even if one of the two intends to provoke a dispute between us and the other side, they will never increase their troops at the same time. There must be one of them. There is another reason.

Perhaps only by finding this answer can we find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty the Human Race, what should we do next?"

There was still a trace of eagerness on Nall's dragon face, and he asked again.

"Since someone attacked our people and tried to play with us, we will naturally not act like before and must show our attitude."

Without any hesitation, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and ordered: "All the armies immediately gathered, and under the transportation of Ice Stone City, they went to the major border areas to stand ready, ready to deal with possible wars at any time. Once the mastermind behind the scenes was confirmed, they There will be corpses everywhere.”

After that, Lei Xiao changed the subject and added: "However, we also cannot fall into the trap set by the other party. Before finding the mastermind, there is no need to take the initiative to enter the other party's territory. But if there are invading enemies who attempt to covet our territory, there is no need to hold back and fight them to death, so that they will never return."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone saluted with their chests and said in unison.

Seeing that everyone was eager to fight, Lei Xiao took out the sand table and began to make detailed deployments.

Needless to say, the Dragonborn, Flower Fairies, Trolls and Minotaur who were already at the border can gather at their respective border fortresses. The dwarves, wood fairies and tree people who were at the back also entered the front fortresses respectively, and the human army was on standby in the Ice Stone City as a mobile force.

At present, although the fourth-level legion of the human army is still being promoted, after all, the third-level soldiers still need a process to enter the fourth-level threshold, but the third-level legion has successfully reached 50, and the overall strength is no less than any of our foreign forces.

After everything was deployed, Shuerte saluted again and asked: "Your Majesty, how should we find the mastermind behind the scenes?"

After Shuerte finished speaking, the others were all puzzled and focused their attention.

You know, the two forces on the opposite side have been fighting for many years and have extremely perfect defense measures. It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for us to enter the other side's territory for investigation, let alone meet the other side's core figures. After all, the other side's defense means can't even be used by those hostile second-rate forces.

Among the crowd, even Fanny, Hanershu and Bruno, who are connected to the other side's territory, all look helpless.

Even they don't have much intersection with these two alliance forces. To be more precise, the other party, who is much stronger, simply disdains to communicate.

"It's very simple. Just negotiate with the leaders of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Sand Alliance face to face. As long as both sides are gathered together at the same time, it may be easy to find the flaws of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded calmly: "At worst, we can also crush the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes."

"But Lord, the other party has no deep friendship with us, and the top leaders will definitely not come forward easily, otherwise they will not directly choose to increase troops. Moreover, the two sides are incompatible. Even if they agree to meet with us, we will never bring the two together."

Ariel's fair face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, and asked: "How can this be done?"

Hearing this, the others also looked confused. It is indeed an impossible thing to do this.

"The hermit has his own ingenious plan."

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Lei Xiao was calm and smiled mysteriously. (End of this chapter)
