Chapter 1040 Before the siege begins
It was already dark, and it was night. Lieying estimated the time and came to the ivory bed. He unscrewed the mechanism on the wall. The mechanism below was much easier than the one above. . A crack opened in the middle of the ivory jade bed above the head, and then the two ivory bricks sank and moved to both sides.
Lieying poked his head out of the open exit and took a look. Of course there was no one in the room, otherwise he would have attracted attention the moment the mechanism was opened. What he wants to hear is the sound outside the room. There was no movement outside the room. It seemed that it was late at night and everyone who stayed in the palace had left.
He quickly turned over and jumped out of the ivory bed, picked up the quilt on the ground to cover the entrance to the passage on the bed, and sneaked out quietly.
There are still guards guarding outside the palace, but for him, who is both a black feather camp feather guard and a guard of the Guards, the terrain of the palace is most familiar to him. Easily avoiding the guards' eyes, Lieying turned around and entered a triangular building.
This triangular building is the office of officials in the palace, and there are usually many people working here late at night. But now the king is missing, and most of the officials have followed Zalberg. The palace seems empty, with only a few officials still working here.
There was a staircase in the center of the palace hall leading to the second floor. Lieying, who was holding a single sword, saw someone coming down from the upstairs, and then disappeared from sight.
For the feather guards of Black Feather Camp, stealth and latent abilities are compulsory courses for them.
He disappeared, quietly jumped behind the person who came down, and walked up to the second floor on the soft carpet. The number of people on the second floor gradually increased. Lieying squatted at a door and listened for a few words. What they were talking about was the matter that attracted the most attention right now, including the disappearance of the king and Zalbog who was forming a rebel army outside the city. .
Lieying thought: "Zarbog has arrived outside the city, and the leader should be with him. I have to find a way to tell him the situation here." He looked around, He walked along the corridor to a door on the other side, quietly turned the door handle and pushed open a gap.
There was no one inside, so Lieying quickly sneaked in. After entering the room, he immediately started searching. He quickly found a piece of narcissism stone placed in a drawer. He picked it up and looked at it. It was in good condition. He was so happy that he found a magic stone pen and immediately left with the stone.
On the way back, he saw someone organizing a large number of Guards to dig in the ground. He knew that sooner or later they would find an underground tunnel by digging like this, so he couldn't wait to contact Kimmons. them.
Back in the underground passage, Radat still stayed behind the iron fence. After his previous escape failure, he was much more honest this time. Lieying was too lazy to pay attention to him, picked up the magic stone pen and began to draw a space formation on the ground.
In the Black Feather Camp, there is a special set of memory magic arrays for communicating with each other in emergencies. They will not use them in normal times, but the pattern of the array has already been memorized in their minds.
Although the painting was a bit slow, Lieying finally finished the painting. He placed the memory stone, and the magic power surged from his hand into the magic array, and the array diagram he drew immediately lit up: " Okay." He quickly drew a horizontal line on the slate with a pen, then wrote on the horizontal line, and then waited for the reply.
After about twenty minutes, the reply finally came: "I am Kui, and there is Kimmons next to me. We have been trying to get in touch with you. Lieying, where are you? Is the king with you?"< br>
Lieying erased the words he wrote above the horizontal line and reported the situation here one by one.
Kui replied: "As long as the king is still in your hands, there are still people from our Black Feather Camp in the royal capital city. I will inform them to pick you up right now."
< br> Lieying wrote again: "The underground passage where I am is very secret, but the people of the Guards are trying to dig out the ground. With their progress, they will find it soon." You have to move quickly in this place. The king mentioned that this passage can lead to the home of the Guards Commander Brad. If you look there, you should be able to find it. But this underground passage is too complicated, like It’s a maze, so be prepared when you come.”
Kui wrote: “I understand.” There was no news.
Lieying breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall. When he found Radat looking at him with an embarrassed expression, he smiled: "Haha, don't worry, you are destined to be unable to escape from my grasp."
Of course Radat is anxious. Zalberg's people already know that he is here and are sending people over, while the Guards above are still looking for his whereabouts like headless flies.
Outside the palace, in a larger square near the war room, 10,000 soldiers and officers were lined up for review. Hohenheim looked at the equipment forged from nuclear crystal steel that was newly installed by the Yinhuang Army. , with a lot of doubts in his heart, he asked Halls next to him: "How did you find these equipment?"
"It's Droch. I don't know who stuffed a note on his armor at noon, and it said the address where the equipment was hidden." Halls said: "I asked people around me. But there are no clues, and Drochi doesn’t know who put this note in his armor.”
Hohenheim said nothing after hearing this.
Halls said again: "I heard from Droch that with this batch of equipment, the combat capabilities of the Silver Huang Army will be greatly improved, right?"
Hoynheim nodded: "You There was a subordinate named Galvas who was the first to use this equipment. You should know that."
"Well, I have heard my colleagues mention it and they were very impressed by this equipment." Halls said. Chatting quietly, while watching the review of Derochi and Jeter.
Hoynheim said: "With this batch of equipment as a guarantee, I am indeed more confident. It is not a problem to hold on until Anwuhou comes."
"That's good. ”
The review was over not long after, and Hoynheim asked Halls again: "Is there any result in asking people from the security station to release recruitment information during the day?"
Hols said: "Yes. One thing is that less than 2,000 people are willing to participate in the defense of the royal capital. More people are not willing to get involved in the kingdom's civil war."
"What about the nobles?" Halls sneered: "Not to mention the nobles, those guys don't do anything without interests. They will consider it. Besides, they are not willing to offend Zalberg at all. No one is willing to send their own personal guards to join the battle, and the news of the king's disappearance has also spread among them. This must be done by Zarberg's people." He sighed and said, "Today's news. It’s a mixed bag of good and bad, but there’s still more good news, at least it’s confirmed The space formation diagram of the Tongyi Stone that Li Bingzhixie stole is valid."
In the alley late at night, a group of people from the Black Feather Camp came quietly. He deliberately stayed to find out information about the royal capital, but now he has a new mission.
This is the gathering area of the Guards. The surrounding residential buildings are basically occupied by the Guards. The Black Feather Battalion quickly arrived outside Brad's home, which was no longer occupied.
"Lord Qingying, this is it."
The person called Qingying stopped. She was wearing tight-fitting magic clothes, with metal straps tied around her shoulders, knees, and elbows. Protective gear, holding a crescent-shaped staff in his hand, he jumped into the air and reached the top of the wall: "Come in and find the passage as soon as possible."
The rest of the people in the Black Feather Camp jumped together. Go in. However, when the Black Feather Battalion sneaked into Brad's house, they were seen by the Confederate Army.
It turns out that when the people from the Southern Army first arrived in the Royal Capital, they were naturally very curious about a city as big as the Royal Capital. Although the war was about to begin, there were still soldiers wandering around in their free time, and those who had never seen the royal palace of their own country Of course, people who wanted to come to the palace wanted to take a look, but they happened to encounter this incident.
"Hey Roger, you saw that group of people just now."
Roger is Monica's attendant. He has been to the royal capital, so he became the 'travel guide' for these soldiers.
“What are they doing sneakily?”
Roger looked around and said, “This seems to be the residential area of the Guards.”
“Nearby Aren't the guards there to protect the palace? "The soldier said: "Those people sneaking here must be doing nothing good. Should we follow them and take a look?"
"Yes."
Roger and a few others tiptoed outside Brad's courtyard wall. Several soldiers lay on the wall and looked inside, only to see a group of people from the Black Feather Battalion. Running around the yard and rooms.
"Is this house unoccupied? What are they doing here?" a soldier asked in a low voice.
“It looks like they are looking for something.”
“Looking for what? They went to the Guards guys to look for things. They must not be good people. Roger, let’s notify the Guards. Army.”
"Yeah." Roger nodded and left quietly with a few people.
At Brad's house, a group of more than a dozen people from the Black Feather Camp searched around for a long time, and one person shouted: "Found it, here."
Behind a heavy decorative stone statue, the people from Black Feather Camp found a passage leading underground.
Qingying glanced at everyone and jumped down first, and the others followed suit, leaving two people to guard.
Through the long, narrow and steep passage, Qingying and others came to a place that resembled an ancient sewer.
"This is where Deputy Chief Kui was talking about." Everyone in the Black Feather Battalion immediately took out their tools, marked the route, and released two big bats to fly deep into the sewer.
In front of the iron gate, Lieying leaned against the wall with his knife in his arms and waited patiently. In contrast, Radat looked anxious.
Radat is not an impatient person, otherwise he would not have been able to tolerate it for so long under Zalberg's authority, but at this critical moment, he had to worry. Although he had been sitting on the ground without moving, the anxiety in his heart had made him very uneasy.
Suddenly there were a few squeaks, breaking the quiet atmosphere here. Two big red bats flew here, circled twice, turned around and flew away again.
Lieying patted his clothes and stood up happily: "Oh, they are finally here."
Radat felt a chill in his heart, and his hope suddenly hit rock bottom.
