Chapter 402: break into the interior
Chapter 402 Into the interior
No matter what Descartes thinks, his confession and awakening have no meaning, and all that awaits him is the gallows erected on the Sifal Square.
In comparison, Professor Arkansas is more useful, so he does not need to die for the time being, but he is eroded by necromancy and becomes a half-human, half-undead shadow creature.
But to Green's surprise, the profession of the Arkansas professor identified by the cemetery was not a shadow mage but a rare shadow scholar! And marked him as proficient in [Alchemy] [Biology] [Necromancy]...
This is the first time Green has seen such a research-oriented extraordinary profession, and his eyes can't help but light up. With the assistance of the shadow scholar Arkansas, it may be possible to further transform it and improve some of the existing arms in the cemetery. combat power.
But before that, the Arkansas Professor must complete his mission and enter the secret headquarters of the Revolutionary Army Intelligence Department.
Arkansas was not the first time to come here. He entered the secret passage with ease and went straight to the secret base more than 20 meters underground.
"Huh? Arkansas, why are you here? What happened?" An intelligence officer in charge of liaising with Arkansas looked at him in surprise and asked.
Since Arkansas opened the channel just now, it has attracted the attention of the people inside, but Professor Arkansas is also a relatively well-known figure in the intelligence department. His improved rapid hemostatic agent has saved many lives, and he is a knowledgeable scholar. He was kind and approachable, and made many people respect him very much.
Professor Arkansas said with a pale face and eagerly: "No, one of the offline people I contacted was arrested by someone from the Special Bureau, and followed this clue to find my home. Fortunately, I prepared a secret way in advance and escaped by luck. come out."
"What! This..." When the liaison officer heard this, his face immediately became solemn, and he didn't dare to neglect and quickly took the Arkansas professor to report to his boss.
Sika, who was already asleep soon, was called up and looked at the Arkansas professor with a frown.
Since the withdrawal from the palace, most of the intelligence department of the revolutionary army has been stationed in this secret base. Cypolites personally ordered the intelligence department to go into dormancy. If it is not necessary, stop collecting intelligence first. Sika does not understand that in this case, Professor Arkansas is. How was it exposed? She was unaware of Descartes' private meeting with Loja.
And Descartes and Loja did not meet to gather intelligence, but wanted Loja to help collect some Arkansas professor's experimental materials.
Descartes is seeking to become a disciple of the Arkansas professor, so he hopes to please the Arkansas professor as much as possible.
At the same time, in the headquarters of the Special Bureau, in the Office of the Deputy Director.
Green closed his eyes and leaned on the comfortable sofa chair. Through the soul link, he could clearly see the situation on the Arkansas professor's side. When Sika appeared in his field of vision, Green couldn't help but smiled and muttered: "I finally saw an acquaintance, it seems that the level of this secret base is not low!"
Although Professor Arkansas swore that the secret base underground of this factory is now the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army Intelligence Department, but Green does not believe that a shrewd person like Cypolites will easily expose the headquarters, I am afraid it is another one A guise, or even a trap.
According to the information about Cypolites sent by Silabel, this woman who holds the Intelligence Department of the Revolutionary Army is definitely not an easy character to deal with.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Greene did not intend to destroy the Revolutionary Army Intelligence Department lurking in Steinard, and even Greene was unwilling to completely destroy the power of Cypolites in his heart. Once they go too far, the revolutionary army will fail one after another. If Cypolites suffers heavy losses again, it is very likely that they will doubt themselves, resulting in the desire to separate in the south, and will no longer insist on the northern expedition and attack Sting. Nader.
If such a situation occurs, it is definitely not something Green would like to see. After experiencing the [Battle of Erdis Prison] and [Battle of Red Fortress], Green has tasted the sweetness of a large-scale war, and now he only longs for a larger-scale war. War, how could the revolutionary army retreat!
So when Silabel gave Green the task of clearing Cypriots, Green made up his mind. According to his own ideas, he must not kill the enemy with a single stick, but to the revolutionary army and Loen behind him. The Federation left hope and asked them to hurry up and prepare for the war, launch the Northern Expedition again, and march on Steinard to fight a larger battle than the Scarlet Fortress.
At the moment in the underground base of the factory, Sika asked the Arkansas professor in detail.
When she learned that something was wrong with Descartes, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in deep thought, "Descartes is very low-level and doesn't know too many secrets. Even if he is caught by the special bureau, he will not be able to explain it through torture. What, instead, Professor, you are so lucky to be able to escape."
Sika's implication, if the Arkansas professor was arrested, I'm afraid this place would be surrounded by people from the special bureau at this moment.
Professor of Arkansas immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Even if I am caught by the executioners of those kingdoms, I will not reveal a word to them, our great cause will surely win!"
Facing the Arkansas Professor's suddenly excited words and deeds, Sika was slightly taken aback, and a strange expression flashed. She had never seen Arkansas Professor so excited before. But when I thought about it, I was relieved. After all, I just experienced a crisis, and if I was caught by someone from the special bureau, it would be completely over.
Sika asked some more about Descartes, trying to find out where the source of this exposure was.
The Arkansas professor showed a sad and affectionate expression, shook his head and said, "That child Descartes... hey, that child is really a pity, his loyalty to the revolution and desire for victory are no less than mine, I believe that child will not It is very likely that the dark skins of the special bureau got the news from other sources who betrayed me, I hope that Sir Sila can carefully investigate, find the person who leaked the secret, and remove this hidden danger."
"Okay, professor, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter, you go to rest first." Sika arranged for the Arkansas professor to leave, but her brows were furrowed and she was suspicious. She always felt that today Something strange happened that night, but she didn't suspect the Arkansas professor.
Because the position of Professor Arkansas cannot be doubted, in fact, Professor Arkansas is a member of the Loen Federation. Now this identity is just a fiction to break into the Kingdom of Lorenzo. His relatives and children are still in the Loen Federation, and it is impossible to seek refuge. Lorenzo Kingdom.
After a while, Sika came to another room in this base.
Cypolites was looking at a huge map hanging on the wall with deep eyes.
The current control area of the Kingdom, the Revolutionary Army, and General Lucas is drawn on the map. Nominally, the kingdom still has the largest control area, but after the battle of the Scarlet Fortress, although the kingdom achieved a brilliant victory and almost wiped out 200,000 revolutionary troops, Silabel did not pursue Chen Sheng, but led the army to return to Sri Lanka. Tinard has already shown the weakness of the kingdom, making the remote provinces in a semi-independent state more unscrupulous. Now it is only nominally obeying the decree of Stynard. In fact, the area that the kingdom can control is the region The radius around Tinard is only a few hundred kilometers, and it is still shrinking, giving up the hard-to-defend perimeter.
The Revolutionary Army controls the relatively wealthy and populous southeastern province, and through the Loen Federation, it is secretly closely connected with many semi-independent identities. Both population and potential have surpassed that of the kingdom, plus Loen. The secret support of the Federation, although it was slightly frustrated, is recovering quickly, and it will be able to pull up an army of 200,000 people again in three to five months at most.
The only unexpected thing was the appearance of the warlord General Lucas.
Undoubtedly, General Lucas, who occupied the periphery of the Scarlet Fortress, was the weakest among the three, with a population of only 300,000 to 400,000 people, and an army of only 30,000 to 40,000 people.
However, General Lucas has experienced hundreds of battles, and he has a group of honed middle and lower-level officers, which makes his army of 30,000 to 40,000 people quite powerful in combat. Relying on the rebuilt red fortress, he wants to eat it. They must suffer heavy losses.
And now the kingdom has made it clear that it is shrinking in Steinard. Not only does it have no direct conflict with General Lucas, but it secretly provides a lot of assistance, such as repairing the red fortress. Under the contact of Silabel, the kingdom will provide A lot of building materials necessary for General Lucas.
However, as the offensive revolutionary army, if they want to attack Steinard north, it is difficult to bypass the Red Fortress and General Lucas, which makes the contradiction between them almost irreconcilable.
More importantly, with the appearance of General Lucas, many people on the revolutionary army side also had the idea of "why can't the monk touch me".
In the beginning, everyone used the Loen Federation as a template, thinking about overthrowing the tyranny of the kingdom and establishing a republic.
Later, because of the ideas of some families in the Loen Federation, they decided to build a kingdom instead! If so, that's fine, but at this time General Lucas suddenly went it alone! Although it is not openly independent, it is a fact that no one can deny. This made many people realize that there is no rule that after the overthrow of the kingdom, only another country can be established. Especially those remote provinces have long been firmly controlled by a certain family or force. Now that General Lucas has a proof, they just need to follow along.
Cypolites stared at the vicinity of the red fortress on the map, sighed for a long time, and seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was sighing with Sika who walked in: "Hey! Silabel is indeed Silabel, In the end, I still underestimated you! I thought that you would definitely lose and lose in the Scarlet Fortress, but I didn't expect you to not only turn defeat into victory, but also give us a big problem."
Sika heard Cypolites' sigh, but did not take offense. After a while, Cypolites looked away from the map, looked back at her, and asked lightly, "What's the situation with Professor Arkansas? Sample?"
