It was already late at night, and except for a few sergeants standing guard, most people had fallen into a deep sleep.

This time the mice were well prepared. In addition to the lightness technique and dark vision, they also had breath-shielding magic scrolls.

Unless there are legendary level experts guarding the city wall, it is really difficult for ordinary people to find their traces.

As expected, the mice scaled the city wall very smoothly.

Some of them sneaked into the city quietly, while others reached into more hidden corners, wiped the necks of the defenders nearby and pulled out their equipment to replace them.

As for the method of disposing of the corpse, it is also very simple. Just tear up a magic scroll and throw an acid ball to dispose of it.

In order to facilitate the work of these mice, Gaz tried every means to collect a large number of magic props for them, which can be said to be extremely rich.

The rats did their job neatly and so far, they haven't attracted anyone's attention in the city.

In this way, time passed by, and a week had passed before I knew it.

During the break, except for the daily reconnaissance of each other, the relationship between Piercing Fort and Lima Fortress has always been relatively peaceful.

And in these peaceful days, the rats that had sneaked into the Lima Fortress were working hard every moment to search for all the information they could.

Just at night a week later, a few crows landed in a dark corner of the city as usual.

When a figure quietly touched over and stuffed something into the mouth of a crow, the crows took off again and left the Lima Fortress.

That night, detailed information about the Lima Fortress was placed on Gaz's desk.

In fact, the information the rats can obtain is quite limited, and it is difficult for them to infiltrate the high-level officials in the fortress in such a short period of time.

But even this superficial information is enough to give Gaz a headache.

First of all, the number of soldiers in the Western Empire is really too many!

Judging from the losses of the Western Empire five years ago, it should be difficult for the Western Empire to recruit so many troops due to its population and permanent army.

Although the Western Empire brought out a large number of young and middle-aged males when it withdrew from the Eastern Empire, this number was really too much.

Just the number of soldiers that the rats easily found in Lima Fortress was estimated to be two or three times as many as the Dragon Legion and the Human Legion in the Piercing Castle combined.

Being able to prepare so many troops in a short period of time, Gaz estimated that the Scarlet Empress must have almost emptied out the entire male population in the empire.

Among them, what concerned Gaz was that, according to the rats, most of the soldiers in Lima Fortress were very similar to the original Long Mian Army.

It may be a little better, and it seems that you can speak some simple words, but most of them have no emotional changes, and even daily life needs special care.

At the same time, these soldiers are well-equipped. Almost all of them are wearing heavy armor and holding heavy standard swords or two-handed broadswords.

This level of heavy equipment would make normal people unable to breathe just by pressing it on their bodies. According to previous experience, apart from the extremely talented races such as the ogres and wild boars, there are only heavy equipment with elite war horses.

Only cavalry can control this equipment.

It's not that Gaz looks down on humans, he also admits that there are many strong people among humans, such as the Swift Wind Sword Master or the Guardian of the Empire. There is definitely no problem wearing something like this.

But what if this thing can be armed in batches on a large group of ordinary human soldiers?

Gaz thought about that scene and always found it incredible.

After much deliberation, I finally had to connect this situation with the Long Mian Army, and could not rule it out. After five years, the Long Mian Army's technology had improved further.

At the same time, in the reports of the rats, matters related to the portals were also mentioned.

Because of their limited status and time, they could not get close to those special portals and could only observe the situation inside from a distance.

Therefore, the information they can provide is also very limited. Apart from the fact that Lima Fortress is still building the legendary gate, the rats only have one piece of information about the portal.

The portal that has been built and passed the test has started working and is continuously transporting people to the Lima Fortress.

The identities of these people who entered the Lima Fortress through the portal are still kept secret, and they only live in the most secret place in the city.

The rats only know that these guys are allies of the Western Empire, and there are many of them, so many portals are all prepared for them.

"ally?"

Gaz frowned and circled around the table. Angelia and Shashalu were beside him, and their expressions were almost the same as his.

It is no secret that the Western Empire has allies, such as Kordan or Auckland.

The former is a prairie dominated by various armies, while the latter is a free federation composed of many independent towns similar to the former Dragonblight.

To be honest, they are not a powerful force. In the confrontation between the Dragon Empire and the Western Empire, they can only serve as cannon fodder at most. There should be no need to hide them so tightly.

In the end, Gaz, Shashalu, and Angelia studied a continent map for a long time, but could not guess who the allies of the Western Empire were.

In the end, there was really no other way. Gaz coughed lightly, and then said in a cold voice: "The most information the rats can provide is this. For the rest, we have to ask for it head-on!"

Shashalu shook his head, and then slowly took a step back. What he was going to talk about next was not in line with his major.

I remember that Changya sent someone to find him before, saying that something happened in Nolan Forest and it was time for him to deal with it.

After saying hello to Gaz and Angelia, Shashalu left first.

After Shasharu left, Angelia asked Gaze a little strangely: "I remember that we agreed with the other party that the time for the war to start is one month... um... more than half a month later?"

"Yeah?"

Gaz blinked, then chuckled: "Forget it, you don't really take it seriously, do you?

But it’s best if the other person thinks the same as you, so that our work below will become easier.”

Angelia was speechless for a moment. She originally thought that she was quite unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal. It seemed that this kind of thing was still possible.
