Chapter 310 Early warning from the Military Affairs Department!
The next morning, Brand got up slowly, washed up, and then had breakfast under Catherine's service.
At this time, many library members have not yet gotten up.
Although I did have a lot of fun yesterday, because it was just for fun, I was walking on both feet the whole time and didn't use magic to travel.
For a mage with a weak body, the intensity of yesterday's exercise was still a little too high.
So they had no plans to go out for fun today, but were planning to rest near the camp.
"Catherine, let's go shopping in Furnace Town."
After breakfast, Brand stood up and walked towards Furnace Town next to the camp, with Catherine following.
At this time, there were many more merchants and adventurers coming and going in Furnace Town than yesterday.
Brand knew that this was probably because word had spread about the "treasure" discovered in Furnace Volcano.
Furnace Castle is not far from here, and it only takes half a day to ride a war horse.
Even with a weak horse, it can definitely be reached in half a day.
At most it's just a little bumpy on the road.
Previously, because the orc treasure was just a rumor without any evidence, many people didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, since things have been "settled".
Then these people from Furnace Castle also took action immediately.
Brand felt that not only adventurers and businessmen, but also nobles might be attracted.
...
Imperial Capital, Kaya Empire Military Affairs Department.
Jonas, Director of the Military Affairs Department, who was looking at various intelligence documents, was attracted by a line of small words in the document in front of him.
[The patrol officers of Xiaoqiao Fort reported that there were suspected to be huge tauren that exceeded the size of elite tauren around. 】
As the Director of the Military Affairs Department, he knows every fortress in the border area of Northland, even every small fortress.
So when he saw the three words "Little Bridge Castle", the old gentleman instantly recalled its location.
——The border area of Northland, located in the north of the east.
There is no doubt that Xiaoqiao Fort is within the boundary line, and the area where its soldiers patrol daily must not exceed the boundary line.
And this means that the location where the patrolling soldiers suspected of finding the "large tauren" should be within the scope of the empire's large war array.
——For a long time recently, the Imperial War Array did not issue any warning to that area.
When he thought of this, the old gentleman looked at the word "suspected" on the intelligence document and frowned slightly.
——He didn’t like to see such descriptive words.
If you see it, you see it. There is no way to say that you have seen it.
When such a description appears, it is easy to think that the person who wrote the information may have been affected by some external factors in his judgment.
For example:
Because the empire's large war array can monitor the movements of all large orcs and above-level creatures coming across the border.
Therefore, they subconsciously rejected the possibility that a large orc had escaped the monitoring of the war circle.
Jonas has always believed that nothing is perfect.
Therefore, in his opinion, it is not impossible for the orcs to find a way to deal with the war circle.
Considering this situation, Jonas even specially summoned the think tank of the Military Affairs Department to discuss how they should respond if such a situation arises.
Although it is not that he does not believe in the brainchild of countless mages, Jonas is not a researcher.
He will only make judgments from the position of director of the Military Affairs Department.
Therefore, now that there are "signs" of the failure of the war magic circle.
To be on the safe side, it is necessary to implement the "response plan" discussed previously step by step.
...
On this day, the command room of the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Furnace Castle Empire.
Anthony was looking at the intelligence map of the War Information Room on the screen in front of him with a leisurely expression.
Suddenly, a communication request was sent to the empty screen in front of him.
Looking at the unfamiliar space code displayed on the empty screen in front of him, Anthony frowned slightly.
Not many people knew the space code of his empty screen. Apart from Mesa and the Allied Families, only Brand and the Military Affairs Department were the only ones.
So who is contacting him?
Doubtful, Anthony agreed to the communication request.
After he got through, the figure of the old gentleman Jonas sitting in the Office of the Military Affairs Department appeared in front of him.
Seeing that it was this old gentleman, Anthony quickly stood up and gave a military salute.
Unlike Brand and several other great men, as the commander of the regiment under the imperial military system, Anthony had to show enough respect to this old gentleman.
On Jonas's side, looking at Anthony who was saluting solemnly, he smiled and said,
"I haven't seen Anthony for a while. I didn't expect that I even got a movable blank screen. It seems that you have been having a good time recently. It's pretty good."
After hearing what Jonas said, Anthony smiled and said,
"I happened to have a little friendship with Brand, so I used three knight golems to exchange him for such an empty screen." After hearing this
, Jonas nodded and said:
"It is normal for masters of rune formations to charge high fees. More people have various resources but cannot hire such masters."
After making such a simple comment, Jonas Talking about business:
"Let's stop chatting here. I am contacting you this time for business. Yesterday
, the Imperial Military Affairs Department received a report from Xiaoqiao Fort. Their patrol soldiers saw a tauren with the size of an orc. Think
about it . If there are large orcs that may have escaped the monitoring of the empire's large-scale war formations, the Military Affairs Department will successively issue early warnings to various fortresses on the border. At the same time,
we have also begun to activate the emergency response plan, releasing empty shadow butterflies, and following the established route to the northern border. The area will be monitored until the Military Affairs Department lifts the warning."
After hearing the old gentleman's words, Anthony's expression became a little solemn.
There are big orcs who have escaped the surveillance of the empire's large war array. This is not a small thing.
Although they also have a plan to deal with it, it is obvious that it is not as easy to use as the war magic circle.
Before Anthony could ask anything, after explaining the current situation, the old gentleman continued:
"If the orcs have a way to circumvent the war circle but keep it secret, then it is most likely that they want to make some big move.
After our According to analysis, the Furnace Volcano not far away from Furnace Castle may be one of their alternative targets.
According to the information you reported in the past two days, someone in Furnace Volcano also discovered some things left by the orcs, right? "
Hearing the old gentleman's question, Anthony nodded and responded:
"Yes, a few days ago, Brand and the library team used powerful extreme spells to kill the orcs, using some underground lava from the Furnace Volcano. The passage was revealed.
Our legions and adventurers found some weapons and equipment made by tauren there.
Not only that, the frequency of orcs appearing is much higher than before. We speculate that there may indeed be important items left by orcs there. The old
gentleman nodded and said, "It is based on this information that we came to this inference. This is also the main reason why I contacted you." "
At this point, the old gentleman smiled and added:
"Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that you happen to have a free screen. This thing is much easier to use than that troublesome magic communication device! ”
