While Richard was thinking, the magic knight walked farther and farther, carrying the unconscious spy, passing by the command room in Kasha City and heading to the prison.
In the command room, the on-duty consultants and civilian staff looked curiously at the passing magic knight - before that, they were so busy that they had no time to sleep, and they were definitely not in the mood to explore such irrelevant matters. However, there have been no military operations in the past month, and dozens of combat plans have been made and put on hold. They are extremely bored, so even a small thing can arouse their interest.
"Who was arrested?" a consultant asked.
"They must be spies." A consultant who heard some news replied, "I heard that Sika spies infiltrated on a large scale tonight, but we were very defensive and did not let them benefit."
"Very good! The Sika guys who are looking for death deserve it. We have given ourselves enough face by not causing trouble for them, so why are you trying to infiltrate us?"
"Maybe it's because we have been standing still and they can't figure out the reason, so they have no choice but to try to investigate."
"Then there is something wrong if the investigation comes out. We don't know what's going on. It's been so long. The general keeps saying prepare, prepare, prepare again. I don't know when the preparation will be completed."
"There is no way. We are just staff officers and have no military power. So, we should continue to make plans honestly. Maybe one day General Sauron suddenly orders a full-scale attack and it can be used."
"I hope..."
A group of staff officers and civilian staff talked about it for a long time.
In the corner, the aristocratic staff officer Nat listened to this and looked at the open space outside the command room where the magic knight walked by, frowning slightly as if he was thinking about something.
"Wow!"
At this time, the door of the command room was suddenly pushed open. Not long ago, the magic knight who escorted the spies passed by. After seeing off the spy, he returned from the prison. He walked in seriously and asked aloud: "Who is Staff Officer Nat?"
"Ah?" Nat was stunned and said in surprise, "I'm just, what...is something wrong?"
The captain of the magic knight approached, gave a military salute and said: "General Sauron is looking for you and has something to ask."
"Looking for me?" Nat became even more surprised. "The general is looking for me. What do you want to ask?"
"I don't know." The captain of the magic knight responded, his tone was a bit cold, "Besides, this is a military order, and I can't tell you if I know it."
"All right… "
"Then, please!" The captain of the magic knight made a gesture of invitation.
Nat felt the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on him, and his expression changed, but he really had no reason to refuse. He pursed his lips and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he walked out with the magic knight and disappeared out the door.
As soon as Nat and the magic knight left, the staff and civil servants in the door immediately got into trouble. They kept discussing, and the intensity was several times higher than before. They were wondering why Nat was called away by Sauron. You know, within this month , Sauron came to the command room only a handful of times, and summoning people alone was even rarer.
This is definitely something big happening.
The more people discussed, the more excited they became, and the command room suddenly turned into a chicken farm.
The white-robed staff officer couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward.
"Quiet!" As the chief staff officer, Kun Darsi, who was wearing a white robe, shouted, pressed his hands down, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, please pay attention to your etiquette. This is the command room, and It's not a market or a tavern. The general just summoned a staff officer, please don't make a fuss. I know you are curious, but please restrain yourself, okay?"
After speaking, the white-robed staff officer looked around at the people in the command room with extremely serious eyes.
The people left in the room were stunned for a moment, lowered their heads, and stopped talking - but only for a short while, and within a few minutes, they began to whisper again - curiosity made them unable to restrain themselves, but they did not dare to speak anymore. It was as loud as before.
The white-robed staff officer was somewhat helpless when faced with this situation. After all, although he was the chief staff officer, his actual status was only half a level higher than the other staff officers and he had no management power.
But he didn't care too much, because he was more curious than the others about what had just happened.
He squinted his eyes and looked outside the command room, thinking about many previous things.
The night outside the door is getting deeper and deeper.
…
Late at night.
When the night sky, which looked like it was soaked in ink, almost entirely fell to the ground, there was movement in the fields outside Kasha City.
A black shadow appeared. He stood next to a dead tree and looked around cautiously. After a while, he saw a man in gray robe flying over quickly and landed next to him.
The black shadow didn't say anything. Out of the anxiety in his heart, he directly asked the man in gray robe: "How is the situation?"
"Very bad." The man in gray robe replied.
"Very bad?!" Black Shadow was surprised and quickly asked, "How bad is it?"
"The entire operation failed. Most of your people, our people, were captured, and only a few escaped."
"You!" Black Shadow glared, and his tone became angry, "This is completely different from what you promised at the beginning - you clearly said that there will be an explanation within two days, is this what you call an explanation?"
"I know that this is our problem." The man in gray robe did not defend himself, his tone was calm, "But there are many surprises in war. I really didn't expect that the alliance did not relax during the period when it stopped attacking. On the contrary, they increased their vigilance, which led to the failure of this infiltration operation.
However, with this failure, there is also experience. I have learned about the distribution of the alliance's troops. In the next operation, I can definitely bypass the defenses and successfully obtain the information I want to help you, Sika, reverse the situation. "
The black shadow did not choose to believe the man in gray robe easily. He sneered and said sarcastically: "What if it fails again next time? Should we carry out the third operation? If the third operation fails, then carry out the fourth operation? I don't I know what you think of us Sika people, but I regard them as compatriots, not disposable consumables. You asked our people to cooperate with you this time, but the result failed. Do you know how much we sacrificed
Enough sacrifice has been made and we don't want to continue like this. In other words, this action is a turning point. We have reached a consensus that if there is a problem this time, we will no longer be at your mercy. As I said to you two days ago: If we can't see hope in this way, then we need to find another way.
The Sika people are not inflexible old antiques. Even if there are any, they are only a handful. The rest of us have come to an agreement to get rid of you and deal with the Alliance alone in our own way. So, from now on, you go your way and we go ours. Of course, before that, you have to find a way to rescue our arrested operatives - because this is what you owe us! "
