Granero immediately mobilized the confidantes of the Imperial City Public Security Bureau, mobilized a large amount of military power, and launched a dragnet search in the Imperial Capital.
The physical appearance, bones, and skin color of the Barcelona people are very different from those of the Zenit people. In addition, the more than fifty people lurking in are not familiar with the terrain and architecture of St. Petersburg, and have no place to hide. Logically speaking , should be extremely easy to find out, but Granero didn't find any clues until the dawn of the next day.
This made everyone feel very strange.
Emperor Yassin asked the Public Security Office of the Imperial Capital to find out the Barcelona spies as soon as possible. Although there was no specific time limit, the pressure on Granero was still enormous.
On the one hand, he strengthened his defense against hundreds of extremely important magic centers in the imperial capital, and on the other hand, he intensified his efforts to investigate all parts of the imperial capital.
After another morning of fruitless investigations, Granero couldn't sit still.
He had no choice but to risk disturbing the second prince's recovery and came to the second prince's residence.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?"
The second prince, who looks pretty good, came to the living room with the support of the coquettish witch Paris, and received Granero.
In addition to the witch Paris, the old military Aryan from Chambord came out together.
Granero didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything that happened exactly.
There was not much surprise on the face of the second prince Dominguez.
Apparently what was going on outside, the prince, who was temporarily recovering from his injuries in the mansion, knew everything about it, even though he stayed at home.
"Isn't it the first time Father got so angry this time in more than ten years?"
Dominguez leaned back slightly in his chair, thoughtful.
"Indeed, since I followed His Highness, I have never seen His Majesty Yassin so angry. The fourth prince is really too much. Such a severe form, he knowingly commits crimes again and again, ruining nearly a thousand elites of the empire. ...Your Majesty, he is also deeply loved and deeply responsible!"
Although Granero was extremely disdainful of the fourth prince, his words were extremely rational in front of Domingos, and he returned to the low-key and calm general image of the past.
Dominguez nodded slightly, but said nothing.
In the previous battle, he was swept away by the aftermath of the battle of the extreme powerhouse. Although the superficial injuries have recovered, the injuries of the laws still remain in his body. No fatal wounds were left, nor did Yuanyuan be injured, but he needed to rest for a period of time and could not fight with others. He was forced to stay in the mansion for cultivation by Emperor Yaxin, and did not participate in the battle of defending the city.
Granero opened his mouth, hesitated to speak several times.
Domingos raised his head from his contemplation, saw [Red Beard] like this, smiled and said: "What do you want to say, say it."
Granero looked at the witch, then at the old Aryan, and finally couldn't help asking the question that had troubled him for a long time: "The situation in the imperial capital has become so dangerous, why is he known as the God of the Imperial Army?" His Royal Highness Arshavin, the eldest prince, and His Royal Highness Princess Wen Sheng, have never appeared? And... and... "
"what else?"
Dominguez asked with a smile.
The attitude of His Royal Highness the Second Prince relieved Domingos a little, and expressed his confusion: "Also, the large-scale conscription in the empire over the past two years was only the regular main battle army trained by the First Prince. There are already more than 20, close to a million, but the current strength of the imperial capital is less than 400,000, including the 100,000 Royal Guards, and the troops that have retreated from the southern border battlefield. Before that, the regular garrison troops in the imperial capital were actually less than 200,000, where did the other 800,000 elite troops go?"
Domingos spoke out the doubts in his heart in one breath.
"Yeah, where did the big emperor brother and the 800,000 elite troops that were supposed to be in the imperial capital go? I'm also curious."
Dominguez murmured in a low voice, even he didn't know where the eldest prince, who was the God of the Empire's army, had gone.
There was finally an uncontrollable look of surprise on Granero's face.
"On the surface, it is said that the First Prince is in the military headquarters to coordinate the overall situation, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is recuperating in his own mansion because of a serious illness, but in fact, a lot of evidence shows that the First Prince is not in the military headquarters, and the Eldest Princess is not in his mansion. The two of you, even if you are not in the imperial capital, the 800,000 troops that were supposed to appear in the imperial capital had quietly evacuated from the imperial capital long before the Barcelona people landed in the Byzantine port, but the process was so secret that no one discovered it .”
The coquettish witch Paris finally spoke.
The content of the words shocked Granero.
After a pause, the witch said with a grin: "There is only one person who can hide the 800,000 troops from the imperial capital without revealing the truth."
"His Majesty Yashin?"
[Red Beard] I'm not a fool, I immediately understood what the witch meant.
Thinking of this, this topic can no longer be discussed.
Because His Majesty the Emperor is involved, the power of Heaven is unpredictable.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little stiff.
The second prince Dominguez broke the silence with a smile, and smiled intentionally or unintentionally: "The fifty or so Barcelona people are really interesting. With their obvious appearance, they can escape such a large-scale search. Didn't they all become Zenit people?"
"Your Highness means..."
Granero's eyes lit up, he thought of something, and said happily, "I understand. Thank you, Your Highness, for your enlightenment."
After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to the witch and old Aryan, and strode away to leave.
Dominguez and old Aryan looked at each other and smiled.
"Paris, on your side, you have to hurry up and get ready."
The second prince closed his eyes and said softly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand."
The witch nodded with a rare serious expression...
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
The Barcelona people's offensive has become more ferocious in the past few days. The four demigod-level powerhouses show up to harass them from time to time. Yassin the Great Zenit's extreme powerhouse is also ready for battle and has made many shots. Fortunately, both sides have maintained enough restraint. Continuing the ancient tradition of Azeroth continental warfare, the extreme powerhouses did not attack ordinary troops.
Granero's manhunt finally paid off.
On the afternoon of the second day, the masters of the Imperial Security Office finally caught a spy from Barcelona.
What is shocking is that this spy turned out not to be from Barcelona, nor from Zenit, but a member of the Eindhoven Empire. After receiving training from the Barcelona Empire, he sneaked into St. Petersburg.
Due to the proximity of Eindhoven and Zenit, there is not much difference in physical appearance between the two peoples, and there is no obvious difference. No wonder they have not been searched before.
The problem is getting a little serious.
The people of Eindhoven have a very strict systematic organization in St. Petersburg.
They are in league with the Barcelona people.
The whole city joined the hunt, and Granero took the opportunity to launch the Thunder plan, but the gains were limited, only a dozen or so insignificant pawns were caught.
The captured spies were sent to the Imperial Capital Public Security Station to torture and extract confessions. Although they knew that all of them were extremely stubborn and bloody from the beating, they never uttered a word.
Granero fidgeted.
Until the sun went down, the torture finally came to fruition.
The truth of the matter made Granero break out in a cold sweat.
On the one hand, he sent people to immediately notify the royal family, the military department, and the second prince, and on the other hand, he rushed to the direction of the first magic tower in the center of the imperial capital without stopping.
There, it is the core hub of the [Guardian of Mother Earth] magic circle that guards the whole city.
Once this magic tower is destroyed, the guardian array will lose its effect.
Zenit, will fall into a terrible disaster.
