Saramonroe, the capital, the Royal Palace, the King's Bedchambers.

The sun is just right. The light chirp of the warbler came from the window, and as soon as the wind passed, the velvet curtains fluttered like a dancing girl's long skirt, with the sound of birdsong.

The prince hurriedly pushed open the door, his face was not good, and his tone was not at all like what he should have used for his brother: "Last night's news, a shipyard in the port was burned. ”

As soon as the king awoke, he sat up on the bed with a strong waist and arms, and beckoned, and the royal steward brought a warm towel. Because he has been correcting documents until late at night recently, it is inevitable that he will have dark circles under his eyes when he wakes up in the morning, which will lose the majesty of the royal family, so the king has to apply a hot towel to his face. He put a towel over the top half of his face and asked, "Are they the ones that the 'Guardian Heroes' want to build ships?" He spoke helplessly, for he had never acknowledged Jonny's status as a guardian hero, but he had never denied it.

"Only one was burned."

It was discovered that the Knights of the Iron Hoof were preparing for an eastward crusade and burned down the shipyards, but only one was burned. This short sentence already contains a lot of information and also brings a lot of puzzles.

The Crusade was not a very secret matter, because the deputy head of the Knights had gone to the palace to discuss it in person. To say that it is to counsel is actually to give notice, after all, the "Saint-Elect" does not seem to have the habit of consulting with others. The crusade did not require Salamunro's money or men, which made the king both relaxed and nervous, the relief that the state funds had finally escaped, and the nervousness that the Knights were nominally linked to Saramonroe, but in fact they were disconnected from foreign countries (most likely Bigbower). Because of the secret blood pact with the Twilight Empire, the king unconditionally stood on the side of June Sunshine, so he sent the letter eagle to the Twilight Empire as soon as possible, presumably the other side also got the news.

Since the "Doomsday Confrontation", the king has begun to form his own Central Intelligence Agency, which is still weak and unable to succeed. At the same time, he gave orders only to "spy on the intelligence of the Order", but not to "interfere with the construction of ships". That is, the plan to burn the shipyard was not his subordinates.

The Knights of the Iron Hoof had only been preparing for the Eastern Crusade a few days ago, and yesterday was the first day of shipbuilding, and it was by no means ordinary people who could detect their movements in such a short period of time and decisively carry out sabotage actions. If you take into account the fact that "the Central Intelligence Agency of your own country has not found any abnormalities", you will feel that the other party has clever methods. It's just that the only thing I don't understand is, why is this person behind the scenes in a hurry? Instead of doing it on the first day of engineering, why not on the last day of engineering? The latter option is more harmful, while the former option only makes the Knights of the Iron Hoof more vigilant. Is it a warning?

In addition, it stands to reason that sabotage is, of course, a multi-pronged preparation and a full-fledged sabotage, and there is no such thing as only one target, but now only one shipyard has been burned. It can be seen that either the Knights of the Iron Hoof were able to do it, or another group of people lurked around the Knights of the Iron Hoof, and one of the two thwarted and prevented the sabotage, so that only one shipyard was burned. If it is the latter, it means that the capital invested by a certain country in the Knights of the Iron Hoof is very high, and the expectations for Jonny are also high.

"You say ......" the prince kept his chin alive, and his beard was very piercing: "Is Oskol not dead yet?" ”

The king remained seated, with his face tilted up, the towel still resting on his face.

After a long time, the towel became cold, and then he said, "Indeed, it is likely to be him." However, his remains have been identified and incinerated, even if he wants to turn into a zombie or resurrect a skeleton. ”

"It shouldn't be difficult for Oskol to dress up a corpse as himself, and besides, there are ghosts among the necromantic creatures?" The prince insisted on this topic.

"Ghosts? So he's working for June Sunshine? The king smiled. He gave the towel to the butler, but instead of getting up and dressing, he motioned for another towel. Because of the heat, his face was red. "Don't think about unrealistic ideas. Oskol had always been desperate for his father, so how could he be loyal to others. Even if it's June, no one can surpass my father's. ”

"If Oskol hadn't died, and had been working for someone...... Is the father not dead yet? A hint of horror flashed in the Prince's eyes.

Putting a hot towel over his face, the king said, "Father has left us forever, this is what June Sunshine himself admitted. Okay, brother, if there's nothing to do, please get out. ”

"In short, Oskol's matter is not a trivial matter! If you want to check, if you don't check, I'll check! The prince said viciously, turning to leave.

Since Oskol's death, the Central Intelligence Agency has been much less powerful than before, because of the sudden lack of manpower. In addition to the general staff working in the Central Intelligence Agency, Oskol also placed a number of hidden stakes (which he had the right to be), and the stakes were only responsible to him. As soon as Oskol died, the Central Intelligence Agency completely lost contact with the hidden pile, and was unable to use these valuable human resources, and the work efficiency plummeted, making the new director somewhat incapacitated.

The king took off his towel and said to himself, "Check? How to check? Alas. ”

Saramonroe, port city, shipyard.

Although the investigation has been done, the Bigbower Intelligence Department continues to monitor the workers, and in their eyes, everyone except the people in their own department is suspicious. Under such close monitoring, the progress of the project slowed down.

However, this is only scratching the surface.

The Minister of Intelligence has experienced many ups and downs in his life, and this small project supervisor has naturally done an extremely good job. On the surface, he sent a large number of people to monitor the five shipyards day and night, and secretly he directly found the heads of several chambers of commerce and asked to buy each other's merchant ships. If the other party refused to sell, he casually presented some evidence, such as that a certain relative of the person in charge had used money to settle the lawsuit, or that the chamber of commerce had a basis for tax evasion in the territory of Bigbowo, and so on, so that the transaction was extremely smooth. By the time the necromantic creatures thought the ships were still in the factory, dozens of ships had already set off one after another, arriving at the "Broken Ring" at the same time according to the secret route.

Of course, Captain Jonny had no problem with this. He didn't care where the boat came from, and he didn't ask for no more than twenty large ships, as long as he could take people across the sea of bones. He frequently appeared at the masses of his congregation, showing his awe-inspiring light. He also secretly met with a number of religious believers, who also secretly talked with other parishioners after leaving the church. The plan to go east to conquer the Sea of Bones was irrevocable, and as soon as the work of the Intelligence Department was done, the sect members rushed into the Ocean of Bones in one go. If it weren't for the Intelligence's insistence on slowing down the ship and keeping others from suspicion, Jonny would have taken the lead.

"It was Oskol's stake that set the fire. We don't know how many dark piles there are, and we don't know who the dark piles are, and we are passive from the beginning. So this has to be a war...... Wars that only happen in the dark, without seeing the light. The Minister of Intelligence said.

One of the subordinates asked, "Yesterday, the Salamonro royal family sent a letter eagle, which was intercepted by us. "The Saramonro military passed on the letter to the carrier pigeon, and the letter eagle was exclusive to the royal family. Although the eagle cannot fly long distances, it is faster than a pigeon in a short distance, flies high (to avoid sniping by archers), has strong attack power (can deal with peregrine falcons and harriers that capture carrier pigeons), and is very practical.

"Are you still alive?" The minister asked.

"Dead." The letter eagle has a strong temperament, and when it is captured by outsiders, it immediately pecks at the letterhead and would rather die than give in.

"If there is, let it go, Oskol will not use such a straightforward method to convey the message. It seems that Saramonro and the Twilight Empire have hidden secrets. The minister said. He pondered for a moment, then gave a new order: "When this matter is over, you will stay in Salamonro for three months." Remember, this is not a vacation, come back a day late, and chop yourself a finger. ”

The Empire of Twilight, the "City of Waiting", a joint scientific research center.

In the conference room, Brian handed the letter to his colleagues, and everyone couldn't sit still.

"What, what to do?" Strom's teeth twitched, and his face was as gray as death, though the zombie's face was always blue-gray.

"Look at your bear! I'm here, what are you afraid of! Wait until I make a thousand 'Fermat airships'......" Fermat stood up abruptly and patted his chest: "Let's take refuge overseas!" ”

Master Patra, who rushed back from the construction site, frowned deeply and said in a deep voice: "The old man does not agree. The 'City of Waiting' is the brainchild of Lao Yu, and Lao Yu will never leave her. ”

Fermat sat down curtly: "Haha, I'll just talk about it casually......"

In the midst of the catastrophe, Waltpole Cullen still rests his legs on the table, and there is no tension at all. He whistled, cocked his feet, and banged the table with the heels of his shoes: "Hey! We have a sea of bones here, a moat in the moat, who can come! I don't dare to say anywhere else, there are countless little treasures in the sea of bones now, and they can be killed casually! ”

The soul fire made the demon float over, approached the two feet curiously, and then floated to the ground in a circle, and was dazed.

"I agree with Waterpoyler." Brian said.

"What?" Strom sighed.

The soul fire in Brian's eyes was calm, and it seemed that he had thought it through: "There is no way to avoid it, so you can only face it head-on." The most terrible enemy is not having strong convictions (Romain Rolland's famous quote). We need not be afraid, because we are not necessarily the losers when we bring the whole country together. ”

"You still want to be a winner?"

With a bang, the door panel was kicked open, knowing that the door latch was a high-strength alloy, and it was impossible for ordinary high-level professionals to break it with brute force. The person who came proudly with a blanket on his back was none other than Schroeder Bray. His face was full of happy smiles: "Today, no, probably from today, there will be no corpse ship to arrive in Albatross Harbor!" Even if you are a pot of boiling water, you can't burn it as long as you remove the firewood! ”
