night.
Reef fort, commander's residence, command room.
A thin wizard in his thirties was covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing continuously.
"Cough cough cough..."
After coughing for a long time, the thin wizard raised his head, looked at Sauron in front of him, and said: "General, this is almost the situation. After I saw that the special envoy from Chara was killed and the body was disposed of, there was no more I followed it and returned to the Reef Castle. By the way... At the end, the woman who handled the corpse glanced at the position where I was hiding. I wonder if she had discovered me. I'm a little unsure about this... cough Ahem..."
At the end of the sentence, the skinny wizard coughed again, so heartbreakingly that he seemed to be coughing out his own internal organs. After coughing like this for a long time, he clenched his fists, and a faint blue light flashed across the face of the thin wizard. However, he used extraordinary strength to finally suppress the cough.
Sauron was dressed in black. After listening to the words of the thin wizard, he glanced at the thin wizard, nodded and said: "Well, I know everything, Wizard Ford. You have worked hard for this tracking operation, and you will not be needed next time." You’re busy, you can go rest and take care of your body.”
"Thank you, General." After hearing this, the thin wizard touched his chest with his fist, performed a military salute, suppressed a slight cough, and turned to leave.
When the skinny wizard left, Sauron turned to look at the green-robed wizard, Abu Yule, who was standing to one side, and asked aloud: "Wizard Yule, what do you think?"
The wizard Yule looked at the direction the thin wizard left for a long time with worried eyes. After looking for a long time, he looked back at Sauron.
After pondering for a while, the wizard Yu Le said: "Is this... General, to be honest, I was a little shocked by Salin's actions. I really didn't expect that they would dare to kill the special envoy from Xiaya, and kill them so decisively. .
We all know that the guy named Xia Zuo doesn't have much ability, he is just a chess piece brought to the scene, but the key is that behind this chess piece is the current emperor of the alliance. Salin has done such a trick, I'm afraid things won't be settled so easily. "
"In addition, the special envoy lent us the title of 'First Glory Regiment' and showed the military flag, but it did not have any effect. It seems that Sarin does not think too highly of us." Wizard Yule shook his head, "This This is not a good thing. Sarin can kill the fake 'First Glory Group' so rudely now, and he can kill our real 'First Glory Group' with the same rudeness in the future. We must be on guard against them."
"Yes." Sauron responded, nodded lightly, agreeing with Wizard Yule's idea, and said, "I have decided, Wizard Yule, next, adjust the deployment of all border troops, increase the level of alert, and Elite forces are dispatched."
"Send abroad? Send to the west?" The wizard Yule asked eloquently. The so-called west is naturally Sarin.
"If you want to send to the west, you should also send to the east." Sauron said, sending the elites to the west is to target Sarin, and sending to the east is to target the hinterland of the alliance.
"You want it in the east too?" Wizard Yule blinked, "General, is this necessary?"
"It's better to be careful." Sauron said solemnly, "My desire has always been to make the Alliance the greatest country. Now this country is sick, and I can't find a way to treat it, but I have to work hard to ensure that She will not deteriorate until the day she can get better. For this reason, I want to try to avoid major conflicts between Char and Sarin and Sika in a short period of time, otherwise the future will become full of variables.
To achieve this goal, I must seize the border military power. As long as the border military power is in my hands, Xia, who lacks sufficient external forces, cannot easily do anything extraordinary. At most, he will cause some trouble within the alliance. Although Salin has a very bad attitude, he has always put development first and will not take the initiative to provoke conflicts. Sika is seizing the time to lick the wounds of the national war three years ago and will not start the war lightly. In this way, the overall situation is peaceful.
Outsiders may say that I am greedy for power, or that I have different intentions, but no matter what, things will not get worse. "
The wizard Yule was persuaded, glanced at Sauron, and asked: "General, I will ask the staff to formulate a plan to see how the deployment of the army should be adjusted."
"Okay." Sauron nodded.
Wizard Yule responded and stepped outside.
But before he could walk out of the door, as soon as his feet stopped, the wizard Yule turned around again.
"What?" Sauron raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Well, that's it, general." Wizard Yule said, "You also saw the Ford wizard just now. After following him back, he has been coughing and is in poor health. Logically speaking, Ford Wizard, as a second-level high-level It is definitely not normal for a wizard to be able to resist most diseases with his extraordinary strength.
And I happened to have heard that the 'Poisonous Queen' who has been hunted by the Alliance for many years seems to have been secretly hired by Sarin. She may be the one who cleans up the scene this time. Maybe the other party discovered Wizard Ford's tracking and used a small trick to infect Wizard Ford with a difficult plague spell, causing Wizard Ford to return to our Reef Castle with the disease.
This matter can be big or small, but to be on the safe side, I think it is better for Ford Wizard not to go to crowded places for a while. It is best to stay alone in a closed room until he recovers. "
After hearing this, Sauron thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Wizard Ford is always reasonable. Just tell him. I'm sure he will understand and cooperate."
"I'll tell him right away." Yule responded, but did not move his feet. He hesitated and said, "The other is the general... Wizard Ford must have come into contact with many people during his return to Reef Castle. If he came into contact with It's okay if you are a wizard, but if you are an ordinary person, you may be directly infected by the spell plague on Wizard Ford. Just in case, we'd better isolate all those who may be infected and make sure there are no problems before releasing them. "
"This is a bit of a fuss, Wizard Yule..." Sauron frowned slightly and said, "Except for Wizard Ford, there are currently no reports of any plague situation. It should be okay if we handle this matter slowly..."
"No, general, we can't slow down." Yule said quickly, with a serious expression. "If you slow down and something big happens, it will be too late to regret. I have studied the magic plague some time ago. When there is no large-scale infection, It's the easiest to deal with, but it will be a disaster once it spreads. Although I don't think Sarin will be so bold to spread the plague to our reef castle, but what if the 'Poisonous Queen' is a madman, what if she can't What about fully controlling the subsequent effects of the spell plague?"
