Chapter 463: Envoy of True and False(1/2)
Chapter 463 True and False Special Envoy
At night, all the condolences on the train were unloaded. After Luke and Colonel Chester completed the check and handover, he visited the Triumph Fortress accompanied by the colonel.
I have to admit that this is an extremely grand building, with a vast internal space and wide passages. There is an underground river inside the fortress. As long as there are sufficient supplies stored, even if the outside is lost, the inside can still resist for a long time.
It's just that the tactics of the Barbarian Legion were too old, and they only defended for a month before being captured by the Northern Army.
When talking about the battle to attack the Triumph Fortress, Colonel Chester lost the restraint he had when they first met and talked about the tactics used by the Northern Army in the attack. In order to prevent the defeated barbarians from retreating into the mountain, Colonel Chester reorganized the defense.
During the general attack, General Qiao Shuer boldly adopted airborne tactics, concentrated on using airships to break through from the air, and dropped his elite soldiers to rush into the mountain ahead of the barbarians.
Although the losses were huge, the surprise force that broke into the mountain put the main force of the Barbarian Legion at risk of being surrounded and annihilated in the Triumph Fortress, so the Barbarian Legion commander decisively abandoned the Triumph Fortress.
"The Barbarian Legion had stored a large amount of supplies in the Triumph Fortress, but almost all of them were captured by us without damage. From then on, the Barbarian Legion did not have enough supplies to launch a large-scale counterattack, and the war initiative in the Tedga Hills has always been in our northern border.
In the hands of the Legion.”
Colonel Chester waved his hands as if the heroic battle was still before his eyes.
At this time, the two of them had entered the mountain. The passage suitable for barbarians is very spacious for humans. There are military caves, warehouses, and many recreational facilities that barbarians like in the mountain fortress. The stone walls in some places are incomplete.
It should be where the battle took place.
Luke asked as he walked: "The passage here is so complicated, are there any barbarians hidden somewhere?"
"There were some at the beginning, but they were all stragglers, and we quickly eliminated them. We have searched the inside and outside of the fortress several times, and found many secret rooms and secret passages. The fortress is now absolutely safe.
And because he contributed the storm barbarian transformation technology, the Duke rewarded him with his ducal crown.
The green light inside the door immediately dissipated, revealing an extremely open cave.
"Thank you for your answer." The Lord of the Stone asked Luke again: "How did you meet Advisor Quinton?"
Luke walked straight to the largest pile of rocks in the middle of the cave, saluted in front of the pile, and said: "My name is Luke, and I was ordered by the Duke of Celtic to lurk in the imperial train coming to the Triumph Fortress, and meet the eldest princess.
Agatha and Marquis Falling Star arrived together today.
Quinton was confused. He sat down in the stone chair made by the Lord of the Stone and said, "Can you explain to me first what the situation is now?"
The stone pile in front of Luke moved. Some of the stones were combined into an arm that stretched out. His thick index finger and thumb held the ducal crown and took it over. The stones on the top of the stone pile formed a head. The Lord of the Rocks, Broken Rock, held the Duke's crown.
He held the crown in front of his eyes and inspected it carefully.
Colonel Chester immediately reported the disappearance of the meteorite in the fortress. Soon the entire fortress seemed to have exploded, and soldiers gathered in groups all night to search for the meteorite.
The Land of Dreams is the home of the Rock Giants. Like the Oulu Academy, it is in an independent space that coincides with the Triumph Fortress. The initial part of the Triumph Fortress and the largest project was built by the Rock Giants.
A voice with an ancient aura came from behind the door: "Another human being. Are all the barbarians in the Tedga Hills dead? Yesterday there was a human being, and today there is still another human being.
Quinton was overjoyed: "The Duke ordered me to assassinate the imperial princess Agatha and Meteor. If you can assist me, I will definitely complete this feat."
Lord Marquis, that side is a military restricted area, please go this way..."
"This is a troublesome thing." The Lord of the Stone returned the ducal crown to Luke, and then said: "Although I want to believe that you are the real duke's envoy, I must also give the other duke's envoy a chance to argue.
Luke walked forward, and the sound of his footsteps was very loud in the silent passage. He also wanted not to make a sound, but these are special stones, a kind of living stone, and the sound is a warning!
But I couldn't find even a corner of my clothes.
The rock giants migrated into the Tedga Hills during the ancient wars and established friendship with the barbarians. Therefore, the rock giants generally would not refuse the barbarians' help. There was such an ambush hiding inside the Triumph Fortress, waiting for the barbarian legions.
When they are able to counterattack, the rock giants can cooperate internally and externally to inflict a heavy blow to the Northern Army.
No one spoke, the cave was silent and only the sound of dripping water could be heard somewhere.
Luke held the ducal crown, stepped into the stone door, walked down a flight of stairs and continued walking forward. There were piles of rocks everywhere in the cave, and two eyes were open on the piles of rocks, staring at Luke and turning.
Luke just glanced at the door and felt Colonel Chester's nervousness. He didn't ask any more questions and followed the path led by the colonel.
Luke smiled and said: "It's better if it's not, and it doesn't matter if it is. I just ask casually and won't talk nonsense."
Without waiting for too long, the stone door of the cave opened, and a man walked in in a panic: "Great Lord of the Rock, what urgent matter does it require me to come here now? Do you know that the entire Northern Army is looking for the fallen warrior?"
…
The passage ahead has reached the end, and a stone wall blocks the way. It seems to be a dead end.
Unexpectedly, the Duke quietly placed a spy next to the meteor.
Luke also remembered the identity of the visitor. He was a close minister of the Celtic Duke and was highly used and trusted by the Celtics.
Luke replied: "Yes, we are in the same carriage."
Quinton was stunned...Yeah, why did you send me here?
Luke took advantage of the heat and said: "Quinton! The Duke trusts you so much, I didn't expect you to betray the Duke. Tell me! How did you know about the Land of Dreams! You falsely conveyed the Duke's order and asked the Rock Giant to assassinate Agatha.
What is the purpose of the meteorite?
Do you want to lure the rock giants out of the Land of Strange Dreams, and then ambush and destroy them?"
Luke said: "Definitely not. On the orders of the Celtic Duke, I asked the rock giants in the Land of Dreams to assist me in assassinating the empire's eldest princess Agatha and the Marquis of Falling Star. What did the people who came yesterday do to you?
"
But as he walked, Colonel Chester discovered that the Marquis of Falling Star beside him had disappeared at some point. He stared blankly at the passages at the front and rear ends. There was no branch road, and it was as if a large living person had disappeared out of thin air.
You have no objection, right?"
Luke stopped. There was a closed iron door at the end of the passage ahead. The iron door was four meters high, and there was a sentry guarding the outside. Seeing the person coming, the sentry made a stop gesture, and Colonel Chester immediately led him to the side road.
.
The two of them turned around and walked back.
Regarding the question of the Lord of the Rocks, Luke thought for a while and answered: "It's hard to judge. But what can be confirmed is that the Land of Dreams has been exposed. Someone knows the home of the rock giants and the secret order to open the door."
Luke's voice echoed in the darkness.
Luke chuckled and said: "Of course it is true. The last time I went back to the Holy Mountain was to donate the storm barbarian transformation technology, and by the way, give the Duke a reason to tidy up the Abyss Temple.
Luke faced the stone wall and first retracted the steel wings of the blazing feathers. The light disappeared and the passage became dark again.
Quinton was shocked: "Is this... is this true?"
Luke snorted coldly: "If the Duke wants to assassinate the eldest princess Agatha and the meteor, just notify me. Why else would you be sent here?"
Luke replied: "I don't know Consultant Quinton very well because I have been on missions abroad. I only know that he is a close minister of the Duke, and the Duke trusts him very much!"
The Lord of the Rocks said: "I also want to know the answer to the current situation. Consultant Quinton, since you know Mr. Luke, can you tell me how you met him?"
"Creatures in the stubborn stone, please knock on the door to strange dreams. Ancient friends come with old promises to testify to the friendship established by our ancestors here."
A glowing cyan door crack was cut from the middle of the stone wall, and then the heavy stone wall opened from the inside. A cyan light shone from behind the door, shrouding Luke in a curtain of light.
Quinton suddenly understood.
Luke was flipping through the information on his phone, looking calm from the outside.
He has never been able to figure out the mysterious operations of Raging Wave City during this period. If smuggling could be hidden from Meteor Star, large-scale welfare investment could never be hidden from him. However, Meteor Star's investment in Tedega Hills, the welfare organization of Raging Wave City, was a big deal.
An indifferent attitude.
Luke nodded in approval: "No objection! What is true is true, and what is false is false. I also want to see who dares to pretend to be the Duke's envoy and how he stole the secrets of the Land of Strange Dreams.
"
"It's up to me how to let him leave." The Lord of the Stone asked Quinton: "Do you know that Luke is working for the Celtic Duke."
"This is indeed the crown of the Celtic Duke. If you are the Duke's envoy, who was the person who came yesterday?"
"Consultant Quinton..." Luke also called the other party's name: "I also want to know why you are here."
The result came out as soon as I tried it.
Luke stretched out his hand, and a ducal crown appeared in his hand.
Colonel Chester smiled helplessly: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Later, there was no news about him after he left the Holy Mountain."
Luke's purpose of coming to the Rock Giant this time is to test whether the Celtic Duke's envoy has come to see the Rock Giant. If the Celtic Duke wants to force Sinclair to rebel, he only needs to assassinate the Imperial Princess and Raging Waves at the Triumph Fortress.
The governor of the city is enough to achieve the goal.
The two continued to talk about the Battle of the Triumphal Fortress. When Colonel Chester relaxed, Luke suddenly asked: "When did the special envoy of the Duke of Celtic come?"
If you say it out loud, it will be water thrown out. You can't take it back. Chester can only say: "I will send the Marquis back."
The Duke told me that I can seek help in the Land of Dreams in the Triumph Fortress. Because I am a human, the Duke said that his ducal crown can prove my identity to the Lord of Rocks, Duanyan."
In Raging Waves City, I opened up the relationship with the port, so that the materials from Tedega Hills could be shipped out smoothly. I even advised Meteorite to secretly help Tedega Hills to control the empire, and obtained Meteorite. Therefore, the Welfare Agency of Raging Waves City is ready to invest in the infrastructure construction of Tedega Hills."
In the light of the fire, there was nothing in the passage.
"Yesterday morning..." Colonel Chester immediately stopped when he realized that he said something he shouldn't have said, but it was obviously too late. The colonel also tried to cover up: "No, no, no, there is no special envoy from the Duke of Celtic."
This person is...Luke, why are you here!"
"Did you come with Meteor?"
"Yes, we must find out the truth!" The Lord of the Stone summoned a stone chair for Luke: "Mr. Luke, please sit down... The special envoy should arrive soon."
Several piles of stones moved over, surrounding Luke and Quinton. The unusual atmosphere made Quinton a little nervous: "His name is Luke, and he is an adventurer from Raging Waves City. He was in the Hercules Competition on the Holy Mountain. Winning the championship, the Duke himself wore the championship belt.
