12. Meeting, Dance Party (43)

He carefully checked all the documents and documents, checked them with the higher authorities with the communication gem, and inspected the carriage almost inch by inch.

As guards, this group of people is truly dedicated, to the point of impeccable. But for Roland at this moment, it only means trouble.

The work of guarding warehouses and prisons is tedious and most exhausting, and in terms of status and development prospects are inferior to those of the colonial forces far abroad, the uncivilized natives are vulnerable and at the same time have untold wealth, which should be eliminated or captured...... Although most of the treasure was given to Her Majesty the Queen or went into the pockets of the officers, they could still get a share of the goodies worth thousands or even tens of thousands of florins. In addition, during the mission, they can also do things that they must not do in their home country to pass the time. For example: homicide, rape, robbery......

Compared to the native garrison, the colonial troops that "brought the teachings of the gods and the light of civilization to the uncivilized areas in the name of the mother goddess" were really a little too nourishing. It stands to reason that such a stark contrast will definitely form a psychological gap and bring a heavy blow to morale, and their work attitude should become negative and casual, so as to give others an opportunity to take advantage of it. But as far as Roland has seen, this does not seem to be the case.

Is it because of inertia? Or is it the cruelty that will harm the children and grandchildren? I'm afraid there is, but it's not.

"I'm sorry, but people here are always so virtuous. ”

After negotiating with the captain of the garrison, Lance Lodai leaned out of the window and returned to a proper sitting position, and Roland met the gloomy gaze of the man outside the window. Feeling the cold gaze of déjà vu, I looked up at the main tower as if it was about to overwhelm a qiē. Roland recognises himself as a "foreign body"—the feeling of breaking into undesirable territory, which the undesirable enjoys.

"It doesn't matter, they are also duty, and in any case, it was we who made the unreasonable request to visit the armory first. ”

Part of the adjacent prison block of the Lundinum Tower, which served as an armoury, also contained gunpowder, a dangerous substance. When Roland asked Lance Rodette to visit the Armory, even the Knight of the Round Table was taken aback. There was no precedent for Charlemagne's citizens to go deep into a military position, and there was no way that an officer in his right head would have agreed, let alone the shrewd and capable Secretary of State. No matter how you think about it, you will be rejected.

It's a jaw drop. Walsingham actually agreed.

The reason given by Roland is simple. If the Jewel Thief opens some kind of enchantment or interferes with the spell, then the distance of Diana's sensing jewelry will inevitably be greatly reduced, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of searching. Instead of aimlessly hitting the big luck, it is better to start with the recent series of serial explosions. Judging from the amount and type of explosives used in the explosion. The prisoner is likely to be an active-duty military member who is proficient in and has access to explosives. As a result, multiple bombings can be carried out in a short period of time. The most important thing is. It is likely that the purpose of these serial explosions was to divert everyone's attention from the jewelry thief for a while, thus creating an opportunity for the thief to escape.

The ratio of lies to truth in this statement is about four or six kai. This makes it look more reasonable and realistic. But it wasn't enough for Walsingham to open up his military territory to the citizens of a potential enemy country.

Roland was also prepared, and he gave a reason that Walsingham would not have refused.

-- How do we follow the thoughts and actions of the prisoners?

Assuming that the prisoner's purpose is to divert attention from the guò bombings, he will continue to create bombings until he is caught. There is no guarantee that the next bombing will be small and that there will be no casualties. If the bombing escalates further, Albiang's national security and dignity will inevitably suffer a negative impact, which is exactly what Walsingham Secretary does not want to see. But it is obviously impossible for him to give up the pursuit of jewelry thieves and let the interests of the country be damaged.

In that case, why not change your mind and pretend to be led by the nose by the bombardon to lure them out of the safety of their lair?

Hearing this, the eyes of the Secretary General of the State suddenly lit up.

Roland is a foreigner, and while it is risky to let them go to the armory, it can also create the illusion that "on the surface, the two countries show mutual trust and cooperate to detect the serial bombings, but in fact want to exclude the Charlemagnes from the jewelry theft". If the other party is fooled and takes action, then the agents will soon catch the fox's tail......

It's a good idea.

Walsingham signed the relevant document very happily, and allowed Roland and his party to inspect the various ordnance stations in Lundinium, accompanied by a knight of the round table, and on the premise that the visit was strictly restricted.

The soldiers below did not know the calculations of the big men, nor did they know that Roland had made Diana secretly try to search for jewelry under the guise of collaboration. All they see and feel is the unhappiness caused by the invasion of foreign objects in the performance of their duties, and then project this unhappiness onto the uninvited guests.

"It's inevitable to be hated, as long as you can catch the prisoner and end the problem early, it's worth it. ”

Roland raised the corners of his mouth and put on an adult-like wry smile, and the unfriendly gaze outside the car window was increasing and focusing. Lance Lady nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly a long horn sounded from outside the window, and soon the rapid bell rang out. The unhappy crowd dispersed, and the carriage came to a halt after a jolt.

"Alarm, alarm, all personnel are in position and enter their respective combat positions, and non-combatants enter designated areas to evade. Alerts, alerts. ”

The sound amplification technique carried the sound of orders to every corner of the towers, and countless soldiers rushed out of the barracks with their weapons in their hands, rushing towards the area they were responsible for. The mage officers began to chant incantations, and then looked vigilantly towards the sky, and at this moment, a pale blue semicircular light curtain descended, and the large defensive spell "City of Light Wall" enveloped the entire Lundinium Tower. Beyond the light curtain, a group of small floating patrol boats soared from the knights who piloted Manticor.

Like a bear that has just been woken up from hibernation, Lundinyumta is now full of rage and opens its claws, ready to deal a fatal blow to the offender. But the sirens and orders were repeated again and again, and the mysterious offender was not visible.

"It's ...... Air defense alert?"

Lance Laude, who had jumped out of the carriage, quickly discerned the type of alarm, and could not help but be a little surprised, how dare someone invade the tower of Lundinum from the air in broad daylight? Where did this madman come from? And there was no sign of the enemy until now, could it be a false alarm? Looking at the panicked appearance of the patrol boat and Manticor, it did not seem to be so.

Suddenly, some kind of pressure poured down from just above the head, and although there was no definite sensation, the viscera and atmosphere did sense that "something was approaching" and reacted from this. Following his instinct to look upwards, the young Knight of the Round Table suddenly grew speechless.

"Oh my God, that's crazy...... Get out of the car, everyone!"

Roland groaned as he looked through the gap in Manticor's array in telescopy, and less than a second after he could identify a rapidly enlarged black dot in his field of vision, the boy yelled and dragged the bewildered Knight of the Round Table towards the carriage in which the ladies were riding behind.
