The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 912

Chapter 912 Searing Fortress

According to Younger’s introduction, Du Lei knew that the stone slab he was looking for in the Kingdom of Flame was most likely to be hidden in the cemetery of the king’s family.

The specific location of the cemetery is near the Searing Gorge, the main battlefield of the armies of the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Thunder.

Originally this area was very safe, but the army of Thunder Country suddenly launched a strong raid a week ago.

Under the vigorous attack of the army of the kingdom of thunder, the army of the kingdom of flame retreats for a time.

As a result, the army of the Kingdom of Flame lost control of the front lines of the Searing Gorge.

This is a terrible thing for the country of flames, because their royal family cemetery fell into the hands of the enemy country!

To some extent, this is very shameful, and from the analysis below, the Kingdom of Thunder went to the Wang Family Cemetery from the beginning, but the Wang Family Cemetery has an ancient enchantment guardianship, unless it is there. The blood of the King of Flame cannot be opened.

Moreover, the location of the royal cemetery is extremely hidden. Generally speaking, only the members of the Yanzhi royal family know where the specific location is.

“How did you know, Younger, that the Wang Family Cemetery is in the Scorching Canyon?” Du Lei frowned and asked.

“This is because I have compiled information on Lava City in recent years and found that every year, members of the royal family will visit Lava City under various names, such as inspecting the army, inspecting the magic stone market, etc. Among their many footprints, there are One thing in common is that I went to Searing Gorge.”

“Because of this, do you think that the Wang Family Cemetery is in the Scorching Canyon?”

“Of course there is another more important reason.”

“What’s the reason?” Du Lei asked immediately.

“When I went to map various areas around Lava City, I found that most areas will have magic reactions underground. This is because there are magic stone mines underground, but there is no magic reaction near the Searing Gorge. There was a dead silence,” Younger said again.

“This phenomenon is very unreasonable.”

“Yes, I specially tested the ores near the Searing Gorge and found that the mana content in the nearby ores is much higher than that in other areas! Normally, this kind of mana-rich area should be used to mine mana. The stone is right, but Searing Gorge is not only not a mining area, but if it is not carefully inspected, it will not be detected at all. This shows one thing.” Younger continued.

“It means there is an enchantment nearby that hides that huge magic response, right?” Du Lei said thoughtfully.

“You really deserve to be a teacher. It is indeed like this. Because of this, I went to read the historical records of Lava City and found that there had been a large-scale expropriation of migrant workers here, so I came to this conclusion.” Yang Grid said in detail.

Although he looks chubby and very inconspicuous, even inside the Public Security Bureau, he is still a ridiculed character.

But he was very attentive when he started things, especially in the details of the discovery, which is much better than others.

“That’s interesting. Is the Kingdom of Flames currently on the weaker side? Even the Wang Family’s cemetery has been lost, but won’t it be retaken?”

Du Lei had obtained a lot of information before that, according to the power comparison between the Flame Nation and the Thunder Nation.

These two countries should be evenly matched, but now the flames of war have burned into the territory of the country of flames.

Although the cemetery of the king’s family in the country of flames is located on the border, there is indeed something wrong with it.

But even such an important place has fallen, which more or less shows that the country of Yan is lacking in military preparation.

“As far as the current situation is concerned, the Yanzhi Nation side does not have the advantage. In fact, the military strength and equipment of the two sides are almost the same. The main difference is still reflected in the commander.” Junger thought for a while and said.

“Commander? I remember that the commander of the kingdom of thunder should be General Lei Ming, he is indeed a first-class commander, and the commander of the kingdom of flames should be Ziyan, and General Ziyan is also a famous female general in mainland China. It is the same name as General Lastia of the Snow Country, and is also a well-known figure. If they fight against each other, there should not be too much difference.” Du Lei frowned.

He has conducted detailed investigations on the important figures on the mainland, and he has the information. In comparison, he can’t see how big the gap is.

“Teacher, you don’t know. If General Ziyan is in charge, the army of the Kingdom of Yan may still be able to fight, but General Ziyan was transferred away before, and it was General Huiyan who succeeded her. It’s just a corner that can only talk about soldiers on paper. Since he took office, the army of Yanzhi Nation has been defeated and eventually lost the Wang Family Cemetery, which is the Scorching Canyon. It is his responsibility.” Younger explained.

“It turned out to be so, so what’s going on in Lava City now? Why didn’t anyone see it on the street?”

“Because the war is about to burn over and most of the people have already fled, there are actually not many local residents left in Lava City.” Younger said helplessly, the sun outside the window was hot and the streets were empty, especially The deserted.

“What about you? You haven’t withdrawn yet?” Du Lei asked in surprise.

“The order we received was to stick to our posts here. In fact, for us, it doesn’t matter which side wins the war. Even if the Thunder Country comes over, we will just change into a uniform and still have to. It’s up to us to maintain local security,” Yange explained.

“It’s no wonder that your colleagues are so comfortable and not nervous at all.” Du Lei suddenly realized.

“So teacher, what are your plans next?” Younger asked.

“Me? I’m going to see this General Gray Flame next.” Du Lei thought for a while and said.

“meet him?”

“Yes, because I want to get the stone slab of the country of flames, I have to enter the royal cemetery, and the cemetery of the royal family can only be opened by members of the royal family of the flames. “Du Lei explained.

“But teacher, General Gray Yan… is a very narrow-minded person, who can’t listen to other people’s suggestions at all, and now that he has lost the battle, it might not be easy to convince him.” Younger said hesitantly. .

“No matter how easy it is, I have to give it a try, so where is he now?” Du Lei made a decision immediately, and he asked.

After all, he traveled all the way to the country of flames, not to travel and sightseeing, but to do business.

Younger had planned to take Du Lei to find General Gray Yan himself.

But Du Lei asked him to stay in the Public Security Bureau to cope. If something unexpected happens, maybe he can help.

Younger also obeyed Du Lei’s words and stayed in the Public Security Bureau.

After Du Lei left the Public Security Bureau, he went straight to the Searing Fortress.

This is a defensive fortress about twenty miles away from the Searing Gorge, and it is also the resident of the Flame Nation Army.

General Hui Yan, the commander of the Yanzhi Nation Army, is here.

According to the intelligence gathered by Younger, the forces of four legions are stationed in the Searing Fortress.

According to the standard configuration of 2,000 people in each corps, the total number of four corps is 8,000.

Coupled with other auxiliary arms, such as logistical support soldiers, the total number is about 10,000.

There are a total of six frontier legions in the country of flame, and two legions are stationed in Mahon Town on the left side of the fortress and the mountain on the right side.

When Du Lei came to the fortress, he clearly saw that there were twenty large magic cannons on the fortress.

It can be seen that this cost a lot of money. The high-rise city is strong. It takes a lot of money and several years to build such a defensive fortress. The muzzle of the magic cannon on the fortress is all aimed at the scorching heat. The location of the canyon.

Because the army of the Thunder Country wants to break into the interior of the Flame Country, the Searing Gorge is the only passage on land.

Especially Thunder Country’s Thunder Beast Force, which is a land force with strong mobility.

The reason why the army of the Kingdom of Flame was defeated steadily in a short period of time was to a large extent that the Thunder Beast army was defeated.

The so-called Thunder Beast is a kind of beast, which is similar to the Frostmoon Legion in the Snow Country.

However, Thunder Beast is faster, not only is naturally thick and fleshy, and has strong endurance, but it is also covered with a layer of Mithril armor.

This kind of armor is highly resistant to the magic cannon, and even the knight riding on the thunder beast is wearing the same armor.

The weapons they use are all magical guns, which are similar to gunpowder guns.

It’s just that the range is longer and the power is greater, but again, the cost is more expensive.

Even the power of the nation of Thunder Country can only be equipped with a Thunder Beast army of two hundred people.

Although the gunpowder gun has insufficient range power, it is low in cost and easy to train for soldiers. There are differences between the two.

However, even if the Thunder Beast troops wanted to rush out of the Scorching Canyon, they would face the attack of these twenty magic guided artillery guns for the first time.

Even if they were able to break through, the price they paid would be extremely high, and this was something Thunder Nation was unwilling to bear.

So even if they won several wars and captured the Searing Gorge, they did not choose to continue marching for a while.

The two sides were caught in a short-term confrontation, and both were looking for a right time.

Once the time is right, the two sides will inevitably open fire again, and it is very likely that the final word will be reached!

“This is really a powerful fortress, then…” Du Lei walked towards the searing fortress.

A guard saw him from afar, and raised the muzzle to aim him.

Du Lei could only raise his hands and walk towards the guard.

“Who are you? Are you an agent of Thunder Country?” a soldier on the fortress asked.

“I’m from the Snow Country, and I want to see your General Gray Flame.” Du Lei said his intentions.

“See General Gray Yan? I don’t think you are an assassin, are you?” The soldier didn’t believe his words.

“I have a letter here, please give it to General Gray Yan, just tell him that it is Du Lei of the Snow Country who wants to see him.”

Du Lei held up a letter high up, which he wrote when he was in the Public Security Bureau.

Above are some inconsequential polite words, of course the important thing is his seal.

This is made of special craft materials, and above it is the words “Inspector General of Snow Country”.

Although he resigned from the post of inspector general, the seal still remained. After all, he still had some false positions.

Jiyin is made by someone in each country, and only one family is passed on from generation to generation.

They are closely connected with the country, and it is impossible for others to imitate.

Moreover, even if there were people with superb skills, they were quickly recruited by the state, and if they wanted to fake their seal of seal, they were found to be a capital offense.

“Du Lei of Snow Country? Have you heard of it?” The soldier asked his companion next to him.

As they whispered, the shadow at Du Lei’s feet became a little unhappy.

“I said, brother, when did your temper become so good? According to the old man, we can just go straight in, and they can’t stop us.” Lao Hei is not the kind of person who is patient, especially sleeping. After waking up for several years, I was ready to fight for a long time.

“Not all problems can be solved with violence, and we are now asking for others instead of fighting, just wait.”

Du Lei wasn’t in a hurry for a while. At this time, the soldiers on the fortress had already been hung down with a basket.

After all, it is a very time, the gate of the fortress will not open easily.

“Did you say that you are the Lord Du Lei in the Snow Country?” The soldier was a little suspicious.

Obviously Du Lei’s name is very loud recently, and most people in mainland China have heard of it.

“Yes, it’s me. Please hand this letter to General Gray Yan, saying that I want to see him, don’t worry, there is no poison on the letter, and there is no mechanism. You can ask the magician and the hound to check it before handing it in. To General Gray Yan.” Du Lei handed out the envelope.

As the former inspector general, he knows the basic procedures of sending letters.

After all, it is not uncommon in history that letters were used to assassinate senior officials and senior generals.

So in order to deal with such incidents later, everything that the senior commander touches, whether it is food, drinking water, or the usual envelopes, will be strictly checked to make sure that no one will be involved. After all, once the commander has something wrong, the entire The army will be shaken.

“Understood, we are going to deliver the letter, please wait a moment, this is our duty, I hope you understand.”

When the soldiers looked at Du Lei, they were more polite.

Regardless of whether this guy is really Lord Du Lei or not, but with his calm demeanor, he admires him a lot.

“It’s okay, I’m waiting here.” Du Lei nodded. He watched the guard sitting in the basket again, and was pulled back upstairs by his companion.

Taking advantage of this empty space, he observed the nearby terrain, surrounded by sinister mountains, and there was only a road leading to the outside from the scorching valley.

“Why did the Kingdom of Flame set the Wang Family’s cemetery in a place like Searing Gorge? It’s really suspicious.”

Du Lei’s sight finally settled in the Searing Gorge, and he became more and more interested in this place.

“There must be something in Searing Gorge!”

He had a speculation in his heart!
