Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1867 I haven't even started yet.

The goblin soldiers were short and very light, so it wasn't difficult for the giant eagle to carry one of them and fly.

In order to land smoothly, after reaching the airspace above the oasis stronghold, the giant eagle lowered its altitude and dropped the goblin soldiers it was holding onto onto the open ground of their stronghold.

This left the goblin soldiers dazed and confused. Upon seeing this, the soldiers inside the stronghold immediately rushed forward and subdued them.

After experiencing the previous series of attacks, the goblin soldiers were no longer so panicked.

After calming down, one of the goblin officers suddenly discovered that his crotch was wet.

However, there was no time to be embarrassed right now, since it seemed that they had been attacked by the enemy.

The enemy possessed a far more powerful air force, which directly destroyed their prized airships and captured them alive...

Upon receiving the news, Wei Qing strode out and was overjoyed to see the prisoners.

This was the first time they had ever seen what goblins looked like.

They were shorter than dwarves, with brown skin, slender limbs rather than thick ones, short legs but long hands, large ears, and a hooked nose.

Its head was huge, which looked rather out of place on its short body, making it look like a big-headed doll. The same was true for its eyes, which looked like two big light bulbs on its face.

Upon closer reflection, these details are quite similar to the information provided by the gnolls.

However, relying solely on intelligence to imagine things will always result in some discrepancies between the actual situation and reality.

Needless to say, at this moment, Wei Qing's previous image of goblins has been completely refreshed.

"Well done! I'll definitely recommend you for credit later!"

While they were talking, Wei Qing waved his hand, directly signaling the soldiers to take the goblins to the interrogation room.

Leave professional matters to professionals. During combat, in order to facilitate the acquisition of enemy intelligence through interrogation, special interrogation offices are set up on the front lines.

The interrogators were all provided by the Audit Department.

Within their Great Zhou Dynasty, no one understands this area of ​​business better than the Inspection Department.

The Investigation Department initially only trained its intelligence personnel in resistance to interrogation and torture, and in order to achieve better training results, it also conducted related research.

Who would have thought that their research would turn them into experts in interrogation and torture?

On the interrogation floor, upon seeing that the officer had survived, the interrogator immediately perked up, looking at the goblin officer with the eyes of someone envisioning their own bright future.

After all, in their line of work, besides accumulating seniority, promotions and salary increases mainly depend on how much valuable intelligence you can uncover.

For soldiers, war is an opportunity to make a name for themselves, and it is the same for interrogators.

The interrogator's gaze sent chills down the goblin officer's spine.

Before the goblin officer could think further, the interrogator calmly walked to the table, opened his briefcase, took out the interrogation tools one by one, and carefully placed them on the table beside him.

Having already been captured after the plane crash, the goblin officer was in a terrible state. As he looked at the strange and varied pieces of equipment, the goblin officer, who was tied up to the side, became paler with each piece the interrogator released.

After all the tools were laid out, the interrogator was about to pick one out, depending on his mood.

The goblin officer who was tied up there had already given up first.

"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!!!"

"..."

The shrill, pig-slaughtering sound startled the interrogator who had just picked up a pair of iron pliers.

The interrogators were stunned when they saw the terrified goblin officer.

He glanced at the goblin officer, then at the iron pliers in his hand, thinking, 'I haven't even started yet! How come you've already confessed?' The process of him slowly taking out the torture instruments from his bag was indeed a way for them to put pressure on the prisoner and manipulate his mentality, but in the end, it was just a prelude.

Are these enemies so easy to interrogate?
Meanwhile, on Wei Qing's side...

After listening to the report from the giant eagle knights and learning that the goblin airship had been successfully shot down, Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

As things stand, their Great Zhou still has a significant advantage in the air.

"You will be dispatched again to locate the main enemy force, and at the same time, you will be ordered to the front-line troops to confirm the wreckage of the enemy's aircraft."

Having received their orders, the giant eagle riders immediately set off again.

The giant eagle knight had just left, not long ago.

On the other side, Wei Qing's personal guards walked over quickly with subtle expressions and whispered something to him.

After listening, even Wei Qing looked somewhat bewildered, and then couldn't help but confirm it again.

"You mean they confessed everything before even being interrogated?"

"Yes."

The guard nodded in disbelief as well.

Do you think it might be a trap?

The matter was proceeding too smoothly, making it hard for Wei Qing not to suspect foul play.

In response, the guard reiterated...

“The goblins were interrogated one by one, and they had no opportunity to collude, but the results of the interrogations were basically consistent.”

"..."

After speaking, seeing Wei Qing fall silent, the guard spoke again.

"The interrogation staff were also surprised and couldn't help but ask the other side how he confessed so readily."

"And then, what did they say?"

“The other side said they definitely couldn’t withstand torture and would have to confess eventually. Rather than that, they might as well just confess and suffer less.”

"..."

For a moment, Wei Qing didn't know whether to say that the other side was too self-aware or too spineless.

But in any case, this is a good thing for them.

Based on the confession, Wei Qing could basically confirm that the goblins' large-scale exploration of the desert region was indeed aimed at obtaining more oil resources.

It was purely accidental that they approached the border of their Great Zhou; their airships were simply exploring the depths of the desert.

Wei Qing believed this, otherwise he wouldn't have been so unprepared and allowed them to succeed so easily.

Under this premise, it's impossible for the goblins to directly lead a large-scale army on an exploration mission, as that would be too wasteful of manpower and resources.

Accompanying the airship was only a 300-person exploration team.

Furthermore, a significant portion of these 300 people were part of a team responsible for transporting fuel for the airships and conducting reconnaissance work.

In the eyes of the goblins, with airships, they were virtually invincible and more than capable of carrying out exploration missions.

Who could have imagined that I would be in this situation today?
