Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 493 In-depth investigation
"Your Majesty, Commander Uzumaki Toshiya has made new discoveries. This is his report."

In the lord's mansion of Qinghe City, which can also be said to be the palace, Di Feng received the report about the whirlpool Junye.

On the first night of investigation after arriving at the destination, Uzumaki Jun also found a cave exuding a chaotic atmosphere. For such a cave, Uzumaki Jun did not send anyone deep.

The dark hole cannot be seen to the bottom at a glance. There is chaotic energy in the cave. Even Uzumaki Toshiya himself feels a sense of erosion. If ordinary soldiers enter, they will be eroded by the chaotic energy and become dark creatures. .

Such problems arose within the Qinghe Empire.Di Feng looked at Uzumaki Junya's information, he had already sealed off that cave with more than 100 ninjas.

At the same time, he ordered the imperial guards battalion to rush towards the cave with all their strength. Even if it is not the murderer this time, it is worthy of vigilance in such a place.

Moreover, according to the information obtained by the torture ninjas and necromancers from the corpses of dead villagers, the souls of those villagers are gone, and they were sucked away by this unknown life.

As for the memories in their brains, the torture ninjas only saw a five-meter-tall creature with sheep's hooves, long black hair, a pair of horns, sharp claws, a ferocious beast face, and a snake tail.

"Such a description, isn't it a demon?" Looking at the information seen by the torture ninjas, Di Feng was a little surprised.

Demons are not a good omen no matter in which era, they represent chaos. Evil demons have appeared in the Qinghe Empire's territory, which is a huge challenge for the Qinghe Empire.

Before this, the empire had never encountered a demonic creature, and they didn't know how to deal with it. Moreover, this demon still had the power to deal with souls, and the corrosive dark energy was the first time the empire had seen it. .

"Order, the two communication platforms that have been built are transferred to Senbei Road and Witch Road. At the same time, the Faith Legion and Knight Legion of the Central Military Region set off immediately after receiving the order, and stationed in Witch Road and Senbei Road to assist in handling the case.

Recruit silver-level and above mages from the Imperial Academy of Magic to form a mage team, and go to the cave discovered by Senbei Road to support Uzumaki Toshiya. "

"In addition, this matter is no longer a simple matter. Uzumaki Jun does not have such a great authority to coordinate and direct the investigation. He must send a more important person with certain strength."

While Di Feng gave the order to mobilize the troops, while thinking, the last person appeared in Di Feng's mind, and this person met Di Feng's requirements.

"Go, let someone call Zhuge Liang."

Zhuge Liang, since he joined the Qinghe Empire, started his journey from the General Administration Office, studied as Zhang Xiu's clerical for a year, and then was sent to the local government to coordinate the construction of two thousand-kilometer-long railways.

After Zhuge Liang completed the task perfectly, Zhuge Liang served as the governor of Guangming County in Donghai Road City.

In terms of position, Zhuge Liang must be respectful in everything, and managed Guangming City, which had just been incorporated into the Qinghe Empire at that time and had a population of hundreds of thousands, in an orderly manner.

During his tenure, various constructions in Guangming City have increased a lot, the population has increased by [-]%, and the roads and surrounding counties have been connected.

Relying on Guangming County's political achievements, and Zhuge Liang himself being a gold-ranked talisman envoy, his own strength has also broken through to the gold-ranked.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang successively served as the chief political officer of Tokaido and the chief political officer of Chuo-do, and now, because of Zhuge Liang’s respectful and impartial character, he has served as the deputy director of the Supervision Department of the General Government Affairs Office, responsible for the supervision of officials across the country .

This is because the old Minister of Supervision is a talented person. It can be said that the Supervision Department was established from scratch, but because with the expansion of the Qinghe Empire, the Supervision Department was too large. The affairs of the eight Taos need to be replaced by more capable people.

However, because the old minister himself has not made any mistakes, and he is still an old man who grew up with the empire, the plan of the cabinet of the General Administration Office is to let the old minister change in this term, which will take three years.

After the time has passed, if Zhuge Liang, the deputy minister, passed the Ninja investigation without any problems, Zhuge Liang would take over as the Minister of Supervision.

But this time, it is necessary to be responsible for the investigation of this possibly demonic creature, as well as the exploration of that cave, as well as coordinating the Witch Road and Senbei Road involved in the case, as well as the two legions, as well as the Mage Troop, Ninja Troop, and Imperial Guards. , There are even local military districts and air forces in various places.

The former needs a candidate with great ability, and Zhuge Liang, who has joined the Qinghe Empire for more than 20 years, can be regarded as an old man of the Qinghe Empire. With this qualification, and his own strength and ability, he is a very suitable candidate. candidates.

"Your Majesty, you are looking for me."

After Di Feng ordered someone to notify Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang arrived in the palace just an hour later.

Because of his gold-level strength and his lifespan of hundreds of years, Zhuge Liang now looks like a young man, dressed in formal attire, with a heroic air.

"Come on, sit first."

Di Feng sat on the main seat, talking casually.

"Yes."

In private, Di Feng generally has no airs, and his tone is very easy-going.But after all, he is the emperor of an empire, ruling hundreds of millions of people and more than 900 million square kilometers of land.

This is infinitely more powerful than the Han Dynasty in Zhuge Liang's previous life. Zhuge Liang also sat down carefully, waiting for Di Feng's order.

"In the past few days, there has been a massacre of a village in the empire. At the beginning, according to the report at the scene of the crime, it was a cult.

Two days ago, I asked Uzumaki Shunya, the commander-in-chief of the Ninja Army, to investigate. Not long ago, Uzumaki Shunya reported that it was caused by a creature that might be a demon.

And Jun Uzumaki also discovered a cave containing evil energy in the primeval forest on the southern border of Senbei Road.

Because the cave is filled with evil energy, it has not been explored yet. "

While introducing the situation to Zhuge Liang, Di Feng took the report he had just sorted out and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

"This is the sequential report of this case, you can read it first."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Zhuge Liang took the report and read it carefully in front of Di Feng.

And Di Feng sat on the side, waiting for Zhuge Liang to finish reading, not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

After a while, Zhuge Liang looked up the sequence of the case and learned the specific details before raising his head.

"Because this time the case suddenly involved demons. This is the first time this creature has appeared in the mainland. We still don't know what it is. We must take it seriously."

Di Feng said to Zhuge Liang.

"Right now, just relying on Uzumaki's two hundred ninjas and a guard battalion is no longer enough to deal with this matter.

Now I have mobilized the No.13 Legion of Faith and No.20 Knights Legion, and I also have two newest floating platforms for communication.

Therefore, I need someone who can coordinate and direct this investigation. Now most of the qualified people in the empire have important affairs, and it is impossible to transfer them to conduct an investigation for ten days, half a month or even longer.

Therefore, only you are suitable now, because you are qualified and have certain military talents. "

With that said, Di Feng put away his casual expression, looked at Zhuge Liang seriously and asked.

"How do you feel about this important task?"

"I will definitely complete the task." Zhuge Liang also said seriously. "We will definitely get to the bottom of this case investigation."

"it is good."

Di Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"Now, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the investigation team for this case. You have the right to mobilize officials at all levels in Witch Dao and Senbei Province, and can mobilize all combat troops and militias of the two first-level military divisions in Witch Dao and Senbei Dao.

At the same time, the local air force will also cooperate with the operation. The command of the two floating platforms belongs to you, as well as the No.13 Faith Legion, No.20 Knight Legion, and the ninja troops, mage troops, and guard barracks I transferred.

This time, we must find out the cause of the matter, especially how this one may be a demon creature that entered our territory.

Uzumaki Shun, who was sent before, also serves as your deputy. "

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

Listening to Di Feng's order, Zhuge Liang saw his authority. Two field legions, two military regions, and two officials at all levels were under his command. Such huge power also put a little pressure on Zhuge Liang's heart.

Zhuge Liang didn't think that he was stronger than Di Feng. After all, Di Feng, who built an empire from scratch, was also an incomparable hero in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

And Di Feng attaches so much importance to this matter, he puts a knight army with the most gold-level combat power, and a faith army that can be said to be fanatics, and can fight to [-]% death. Such two army, just to search I can't overemphasize this creature that looks like a demon.

After Zhuge Liang left, the appointment of Di Fengdu was issued to the government affairs office, military region, legion and combat unit to which he belonged immediately.

At the same time, the staff department dispatched five combat staff officers and five clerks dispatched by Zhuge Liang himself to form the general headquarters, and followed Zhuge Liang to assist in coordinating these departments.

After leaving the palace, he saw that this time he had such a large authority, and it still involved the army and the local area, which the Qinghe Empire had never had before.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Liang said to the staff at all levels of the headquarters he had just formed.

"Now, notify the Knight Legion and the Faith Legion, and report to the general headquarters immediately after arriving at the combat position.

In addition, inform Deputy Commander Uzumaki Shunya that the entrance of the cave must be guarded, and the support will arrive in the shortest possible time. "

"In addition, order officials at all levels of Witch Road and Senbei Road. Now, when the two roads are in normal business hours, they will increase the investigation of each area. It is necessary to ensure that the situation of each village and town is reviewed every day. If there is no communication in any village or town, it will happen If you find out about the village massacre incident, you must report it immediately."

As soon as the general command was formed, Zhuge Liang quickly issued a notice to all subordinate units at all levels. At the same time, before packing up, he dispatched a transport plane from the Qinghe City Military Airport and rushed to the border of Senbei Road with the headquarters.

On the transport plane, Zhuge Liang looked at the information, and the latest information sent from various places just now, Zhuge Liang thought about the next thing.

"That cave is full of dark energy that can erode people's minds. It is definitely not easy, so His Majesty assigned me a light mage.

Moreover, it is [-] kilometers away from the nearest county seat, and it is too far to go across the mountains and ridges. It is not suitable for the mobilization of the large army. "

"Order, Senbei Road dispatches an engineering team to open up a standard road, and build three shifts 24 hours a day. There must be no pause for a moment. The road must be repaired in the shortest time."

"At the same time, let the engineering regiment of the Legion of Faith cooperate with the road construction, and transfer all the earth elemental mages of the mage team."

At this time, Wei Weijun, who was sitting in the cave himself, also received an appointment from Di Feng, and became a deputy commander himself, with an extra person above him.

But Uzumaki Junya has no objection himself, he is just a ninja, and the first priority of a ninja is to be absolutely loyal to the empire and to Di Feng.

After that, Uzumaki Shun also knew that he knew how to command ninjas to fight and how ninjas behave in battle, but if he was in charge of legion and local affairs, then he would not have this ability.

Now a commander-in-chief descended from above, and Uzumaki Jun also quickly recalled the information about Zhuge Liang. After learning about Zhuge Liang's deeds, Uzumaki Jun also had no opinion.

"However, this cave doesn't look very good now." Xuan Zuo Jun also sat in the cave, watching the dark energy in it, threw a few captured flying birds into it, and immediately, the flying birds became visibly vicious.

In the end, those flying birds that attacked the creatures were killed. After dissection, some distortions appeared in the bodies of these flying birds, which seemed to be transformed into another creature.

For this reason, Uzumaki Jun did not dare to let people enter the cave to explore without knowing the specific circumstances, and asked the sealing team who followed him to seal the entrance of the cave to prevent the dark energy from spilling out.

But at this moment, the imperial guard barracks were rushing over the mountains, and the air force had only one reconnaissance plane to cooperate.Now stationed here is only Toshiya Uzumaki, a gold-level fighter, and more than 100 elite ninjas.

"Boom,——, boom,——, boom."

But at this moment, there was a tremor in the cave, and a violent sound came from the cave, and then the entire mountain shook with the sound, like a small earthquake.

Immediately, Uzumaki Jun gave the order when the change happened.

"Everyone disperses immediately and prepares for battle."

In an instant, the ninjas around quickly retreated a hundred meters away. Every ninja stood guard and pinched the ninja, or prepared long-distance ninjutsu, ready to fight at any time.
