Chapter 710 Lanqi Will No Longer Contribute to the Empire

The mountain breeze gently caressed the scarlet and golden woods. In this season of falling leaves, the Blildar Magic Rail Train once again traveled in the rolling Langar Mountains near the capital of Kreiwen.

Lanqi was sitting in compartment 404 and being investigated.

He looked a little tired, but still calm.

Of course, at this moment, he was sitting opposite his original seat.

That was the seat of teacher Landry Wasington.

"Yes, I defeated the enemy on the train."

Lanqi honestly answered the question of the investigating officer sitting opposite him,

"I can only say that the situation at that time was intolerable. Where did it go? In the capital Blildar, there are still people who dare to openly challenge the authority of our empire! I can't tolerate her being rampant for a second. I must let her know what is the unparalleled imperial power and the imperial faith."

He couldn't help tapping the table.

This righteousness, hatred of evil, but deep concealment of merit and fame, heard the officer opposite nod repeatedly.

Because what the young man said opposite him was not a lie.

His attitude was enthusiastic and sincere. Sitting opposite him, one would feel ashamed for being a fellow imperialist - as an imperial soldier, one's love and faith in the empire were not as firm as this young man.

"Then Mr. Landry, my superiors may come to ask you questions later. It's not that I intend to embarrass you, but as the central figure of the incident, we still need your cooperation so that we can get more clues about the enemy."

The investigation officer put away the notebook, stood up and said to Lanqi.

"No problem."

Lanqi nodded and watched the investigation officer leave.

The aisle of the carriage was covered with scorch marks. If it were not for the solid enough protective barrier covering it, the train would have derailed and disappeared among the mountains.

The capital garrison shuttled back and forth in the carriage, comforting the frightened passengers and collecting evidence for investigation.

As an elite force guarding the center of the empire, the capital garrison is well-known for its strict selection and cruel training, and is responsible for the security and defense of the capital.

Among the several departments under the headquarters, the "Imperial Guard" is the emperor's personal guard, and also guards important places such as the palace and government agencies.

The "Gendarmerie" is responsible for maintaining social order in the capital area, suppressing resistance activities, and supervising the words and deeds of officials and the public.

The "Air Defense Force" manages the air defense alarm system, operates the capital's air defense forces, and resists enemy air raids. The "Fortress Garrison" is stationed in several large fortresses outside the capital, forming the first line of defense for the capital.

This time, the Brillda Magic Energy had an accident, and the responsible person was the Second Brigade of the Military Police in charge of the outer area of ​​the capital.

Fortunately, most of the passengers were safe, but in other carriages, the bodies of the imperial guards on the train were everywhere, and blood stained the broken glass windows and twisted metal.

"The extremely dangerous elements are no longer on the Brillda. Please rest assured, passengers. The Brillda Magic Rail Train has been taken over by the Imperial Capital Garrison. Please actively cooperate with the military investigation. The train will arrive at the terminal station Brillda soon. Please wait patiently for a while."

The train broadcast was still comforting the passengers on the train.

Most passengers were not as calm as Lanqi.

Maybe it would be better to act a little panic at this time.

But Lanqi's interpretation of Landry is natural and confident, so for him, many places do not need to be deliberately performed.

"Lanqi, are you sure you are not surrendering to the enemy?... I'm a little scared."

Talia started chatting with him again in his heart.

As Lanqi's back spirit, her fate is basically bound to Lanqi, and she can only watch his story every day.

Now she gradually feels that something is wrong.

Being able to quickly integrate into the environment is certainly an outstanding talent for spies, but Lanqi seems to have become a local in the blink of an eye.

"Tata, just put your heart at ease. At the beginning, I accidentally helped the Empire capture the Allied spy. It was just a coincidence. It won't happen again."

Lanqi showed a resolute look and responded to her in his heart with certainty.

He couldn't help the Empire anymore, and he would never become a rebel.

This time, unlike the Protoss Empire in the northern continent, he was very clear about his position and camp.

"That's good."

Talia reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile in her voice.

I thought that even if Lanqi wanted to get ahead in the Empire, he didn't have the ability.

The Empire is not that simple.

"It seems to be coming soon."

Lanqi sat in the compartment and looked out the window quietly.

Although there were some twists and turns, it was generally good.

He got a new identity, and the Allied spy Miss Unity also escaped. The only one who was injured was Mr. Landry.

However, Lanqi will realize Landry's will and use his identity to try to change the Empire. This can also be regarded as a way for Landry to rest in peace.

The train gradually left the golden mountains and entered the endless green plains. On the distant horizon, the magnificent outline of the holy city became more and more clearly visible.

Finally, we were about to arrive at the legendary capital of the Cretan Empire, Blierda.

The city walls with spires reached the sky, the steel-cast high-rise buildings shone brightly in the sun, the huge airships shuttled between the clouds, and the canals surrounding the entire city outlined a magnificent outline.

Brass-made mechanical ships and magic beasts travel on the water. Advanced mechanical engineering and modern magic engineering are perfectly integrated here, creating a miracle different from the kingdom magic engineering.

The Empire magic engineering, based on independence from magic devices, has vigorously developed mechanical innovation, aiming to point out a technological route without over-reliance on magic, so that one day, magic can be defeated by machinery.

Correspondingly, the functions of mechanics, gunsmiths, snipers, etc. almost all originated from the Krei Empire.

For Frey, who calls himself "rear-row long-range output", he once told Lanqi that he must go to the Krei Empire if he has the chance.

Only gunsmiths with strong enough power can control the high-end firearms of the Empire with terrible recoil.

"Are you okay, sir?"

Just as Lanqi stared at the increasingly clear outline of the city, a male voice came from the side.

The voice was steady and powerful.

Only then did Lanqi notice that standing by the door of the compartment where he was, there was an officer who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a neat military appearance and a well-ironed uniform.

He was tall and straight, with a strong physique, and his golden brown hair was combed meticulously. His temples were slightly gray, giving people a sense of majesty and calmness.

The officer had a short beard, a slightly pointed chin, a high nose bridge, and a pair of blue-gray eyes that looked a little vicissitudes but with keen insight.

"I'm fine."

Lanqi smiled and looked over and replied.

Compared to Lanqi himself, who was usually introverted, Mr. Landry's personality seemed to be more confident and extroverted.

"I am the commander of the Second Brigade of the Military Police, the Capital Garrison Command, Burke von Arnold."

The officer did not enter the compartment, but stood at the door and introduced himself.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, please sit down."

Lanqi saw the other party's rank from the military uniform at a glance, took the initiative to stand up and return the courtesy to the other party, and extended his hand to signal him to sit opposite.

Although this officer was neither angry nor angry and treated people politely, this did not affect the strength of the imperial soldiers in performing their duties.

Once the imperial military police found signs of disloyalty or resistance, they would take immediate action and act vigorously.

If he went to work at the Saint Cremon Monastery located in the outskirts of Brillda, if there was a safety accident in the school, he would probably deal with this Chief Burke of the Second Brigade of the Military Police.

"I heard that you repelled the enemy. Are you injured?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke von Arnold sat down, put his hands on the table and clasped them together, and asked Lanqi across the table slowly.

He could see that the young man with black hair and blue eyes opposite was a noble, and his strength was quite strong.

For most of them who have not yet entered the realm of transcendence, the sixth level is already a hegemon in the border territory, and it is rare even in the capital.

Fortunately, there is such a strong man on this train, otherwise it may become a major safety accident.

"I wasn't injured. I only fought the enemy to a certain extent."

Lan Qi answered modestly.

After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Burke hesitated for a moment and took the investigation record from the soldier who followed him.

"But I heard from the passengers in other compartments that you had an overwhelming advantage when facing the powerful female enemy."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke looked at the paper and raised his head and asked.

"If I push her too hard, I might really get hurt."

Lan Qi smiled casually.

"Is that so?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke muttered to himself, and looked at the young man with black hair and blue eyes, looking at him undisguisedly.

This kind of calmness of a strong man is not wrong, but the young man opposite is stronger than he imagined, and there is some mystery hidden.

"According to the passenger information, your name is Landry Wassington. What is the purpose of your trip to the capital Brillda?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke continued to ask and record.

"Because of work, I received a letter of appointment from Brillda."

Lanqi bent down and was about to take out the documents from the suitcase at his feet.

When he looked up again, Lieutenant Colonel Burke had turned his head and looked out the window.

It seemed that they were almost at the station.

They were not in a hurry for this moment.

Arriving in Brillda only meant that they could talk more at ease.

As the train gradually slowed down, the bustling station came into view.

After hearing the news that the Brillda train was attacked outside the city, groups of people and reporters surrounded the platform.

They talked a lot. Although the military police tried to maintain order, as expected, Brillda, as the political and economic center of the empire, even the train station was busy enough.

"Mr. Landry, I may have to delay you for some time, but don't worry, I will take you to your destination as soon as possible. Let's talk while walking, or sit here and finish the chat?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke added.

"Let's talk while walking."

Lan Qi stood up with his suitcase and suggested to Lieutenant Colonel Burke.

"A wise choice. I believe it will be difficult for you to get rid of the wall of people and reporters by yourself later."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke did not delay and talked with Lan Qi while walking.

Just as they were waiting at the door of the carriage, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, another group of imperial soldiers in different uniforms were waiting outside the door of the fourth carriage.

Strangely, there were not as many people on the platform as I saw just now, as if they were actively avoiding these imperial soldiers.

Their number was far less than that of the military police of the Capital Garrison Command.

In other words, there is only one action team.

The leading officer's hat had a deep brim that almost covered his forehead.

"Chief Nicholas, why are you here?"

The first person to speak was Lieutenant Colonel Burke. He asked the officer code-named Kestrel outside the door.

He obviously knew the other person.

Lan Qi observed silently, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that only the fourth car door was open at this moment. Apparently, the passengers in other cars were not allowed to get off the car. The purpose of opening the door was only to let these officers get on the car.

Lanqi had done sufficient work before coming to the Creation Empire. The information Nigel gave him included the detailed structure of the military in the capital of the Creation Empire.

It can be seen from the clothes of the officers standing at the door of the carriage that they are officers from another department independent of the Capital Garrison Command - the Imperial Special Operations Division, also known as the Imperial Magical Agents.

Among them are the Foreign Intelligence Division, which dispatches spies to lurk in other countries to spy on military and political intelligence. There are also the Sabotage Operations Division, which officially appears on the battlefield to carry out assassinations, kidnappings, sabotage and other terrorist activities in enemy-occupied areas to disrupt enemy rear areas.

More focused on the internal affairs of the empire is the Domestic Secret Service, which is responsible for monitoring domestic dissidents, uncovering anti-war elements and spies, and maintaining the stability of the regime. Finally, there is a secret laboratory that develops various silent special weapons. , such as poisons, alchemical organisms, high-performance explosive devices, etc. The research institute is also located in the capital Brilda.

The director of the Special Operations Division is directly responsible to the emperor and can directly mobilize resources from all parties without going through the military system.

Relatively speaking, the Imperial Special Operations Department has extremely high authority in the Empire.

"We suspect that this attack was probably a result of internal and external collusion, with insiders involved."

said Nicholas the Kestrel standing on the platform.

He was much younger than Lieutenant Colonel Burke. He had a handsome face with sharp edges and neatly trimmed dark auburn hair. He looked neat and capable as a soldier should.

The Domestic Secret Service Section 1 led by him is responsible for monitoring dissidents in the capital area and maintaining regime stability.

"In my opinion, I need to focus on investigating the people related to this accident. Both the deceased and the survivors may be suspects. To be cautious, I need to cross-investigate again in person."

Nicholas the Kestrel had a slight smile on his face, but it made people feel an unmistakable chill.

"no problem."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke is dark and solemn. He often interacts with the Imperial Special Operations Office on cases. He trusts the judgment of Chief Nicholas of the Kestrel.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke agreed readily, then turned to Lan Qi and patted Lan Qi's shoulder gently, as if to comfort Lan Qi not to be stressed.

Because the investigation by the Imperial Special Operations Division will definitely be more rigorous, and the young man at the center of the incident will definitely be subject to more questioning and investigation.

"..."

Thalia was already panicking in Lanci's mind.

She thinks Lan Qi is really a troublemaker.

He had to take on Landry's identity, and then interpret the accident as Landry repelling the enemy!

Although he has gained a seemingly better identity, if he is targeted by the real hawks of the empire, he may never have peace in the capital Brilda, let alone what he wants to do.
