Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

At this time, a guard came hurriedly to report,

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Rossweisse lowered her eyes and said in a cold and majestic voice, "Speak."

"Only 27 of the 26 guard posts on the eastern border remain. According to nearby guard posts, they did not hear any fighting at the time and only discovered it when they were changing shifts."

Hearing what the guard said, Rossweisse frowned.

The eastern border was the first place she checked when she took Leon on an inspection tour a few days ago.

Everything was fine there at that time.

Afterwards, she followed Leon's advice and put more effort into the camouflage of the secret sentry, and also added some patrol posts.

But today a guard came to report that there were only 26 secret sentries left?

"So, there is one missing sentry post for no reason?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Rossweisse's mind moved slightly, "Let's go and take a look."

This is no small matter.

There are many possibilities when a sentinel point disappears out of thin air.

Perhaps it was infiltrated by the enemy, or perhaps there was another betrayal from the inside.

Anyway, no matter what the reason, Rossweisse needs to go and see it in person.

She walked down the stairs holding up her skirt, and before she even went out, she saw Leon coming back exhausted.

Leon looked at her, then at the guard next to him, and asked, "Are you going to the eastern border?"

Rossweisse was stunned. "How do you know?"

"No need to go, I just came back from there too."

Leon shook the camera in his hand and said, "Besides, I brought back some important clues that might interest you."

Chapter 248: 56 The Next War

In the room, Leon put the camera on the table and sat side by side with Rossweisse.

"There's one less of the 27 secret posts on the eastern border, right?" Leon asked.

Rossweisse nodded without saying anything, quietly waiting for Leon's next words.

"And there was no sound of fighting at the time, which means that the sentry was eliminated quietly."

Leon continued, "Generally speaking, those who can achieve this level are mostly top-level assassins."

"But no matter how top-notch they are, they can't bypass so many patrol posts on your border without being noticed. And no matter if they continue to lurk in the dark after they succeed, or they withdraw directly, they can't leave no clues."

"But the situation at the scene was exactly like this. The sentry could be said to have disappeared without a trace. There was no trace of him at all."

As he spoke, Leon turned on the camera's preview magic projection.

Rossweisse took the camera. These were all taken by Leon in the mountains and forests on the eastern border, including the original location of the secret sentry that disappeared out of thin air.

It was a bush, and the sentry's camouflage method was to half-dive underground and use the bushes to cover himself.

However, now, the appearance of this bush seems to have not changed at all, but the secret sentry inside has mysteriously disappeared.

"Keep looking back," Leon said.

Rossweisse continued to flip the camera and jumped to the next photo.

It was the scene after the camouflage of the bushes was lifted. The photo showed a deep pit where the sentry was hiding himself.

"The intruder made the sentry at the post disappear without destroying the bushes or causing any fighting or conflict."

Leon said slowly, "It sounds weird, doesn't it?"

"It's a bit weird..."

"And this sentry point is not close to the border of the mountain forest. It is slightly in the middle. In other words, the intruder evaded the detection of at least eight to ten secret sentries before he was able to eliminate the sentry in the bushes."

Leon said, "Such a superb hiding skill is difficult to achieve even for the dragons who are good at disguise. Or... it is impossible to do it at all."

Rossweisse had also encountered attacks on outposts before.

But most of them are sentry posts along the border demarcation line, because they are most vulnerable to attack. The other side may be provocative or want to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and there is always a clear purpose.

And the attack method was not as strange as it is now.

Compared to the past, this time the attacker is more like a...ghost. ⑺

Rossweisse stared at the preview projection of the camera and bit her lower lip unconsciously. "Are there any other clues?"

"Of course."

Leon said, "Remember when we went to the border a few days ago, I asked you to send more people?"

"Yes, I remember."

"The reason I'm letting you do this is because I see that there's a very, very neat and obvious dividing line where your territories meet."

"Dividing line?"

"Yeah."

Leon took the camera, flipped through a few photos, and handed it to Rossweisse. "Here, this is it."

The strange ⑵〇san 爾〇⑺事岢 Rossweisse cast a look.

Sure enough, in the preview projection, there is a neat dividing line as if it was cut by a knife.

Although it is not very long, it is indeed somewhat out of place compared to the uneven environment of the surrounding junction.

"Of course, the world is full of wonders, and such a dividing line could have formed naturally. So in order to find out whether this is a coincidence, I went to several places in the back mountain these days."

Leon flipped the preview projection. "As you can imagine, I found similar traces at every checkpoint that was vulnerable to attack. This is enough to conclude that this neat dividing line is not a coincidence."

"But what does this clue have to do with the missing sentry?" Rossweisse asked.

"some."

Leon flipped the preview back to the one at the bush outpost, zoomed in, and pointed to the edge of one of the bushes.

"You see, although there are no signs of fighting at the scene, this corner of the bush looks like it was neatly cut off. It is very smooth and does not look like it has fallen off naturally or decayed."

"Also, the deep pit under the bushes also has traces of being smoothed out like it was cut by a knife."

Leon put down the camera and looked at Rossweisse.

"I just said that even the dragons who are good at disguise can't do this, because this is far beyond the scope of ordinary assassins. It's more like seeing a ghost than an assassination."

The words "What the hell" were said in a cheerful tone, and a helpless smile flashed across Rossweisse's heavy face. She looked back at Leon,

"So what you mean is that the intruder did not use the conventional assassination method we understand, but used an assassination method that we had never thought of or encountered before?"

Jokes are jokes, used to temporarily ease the dull atmosphere. Rossweisse can still hear what Leon wants to express from his jokes.

Leon nodded. "In addition to investigating these traces, I also found a lot of information in the library these days. Your book "A Brief History of the Dragon Clan" helped me a lot."

Rossweisse raised her pretty eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"The descriptions above are almost all positive and respectful of all dragons. The author probably doesn't want to offend any dragon king."

Leon said, "In one of the articles, I found this description:

The Star Wandering Dragon King, Ravi, has made outstanding achievements in space magic. In his hands, space seems not to be a concept, but an art.

As Ravi improved his knowledge of space magic, he began to try to integrate this magic into his life, such as... construction.

All the buildings of the Star Wandering Dragon Clan are very perfect and precise. It is said that they never use any cutting, grinding or blasting tools, because Lavi's space magic can accurately cut off any redundant and useless parts. "

"After seeing this description of Ravi, I did some more research on so-called space magic and found that it can be used for more than just building houses. It can do a lot more."

"A silent attack, a retreat without leaving any traces, and neat and uniform cutting marks, these are all things that space magic can do."

"So, let's make a bold assumption. It was Ravi, or someone else who is good at space magic, who used this magic to attack your secret sentry."

“This is the guy who made those neat dividing lines at your borders and checkpoints.”

Leon concluded, "Rosweisse, the people who attacked the sentry post were not ghosts, nor were they seeing ghosts. It was indeed a kind of assassination method that we have never encountered before, that is, space magic."

Rossweisse followed Leon's thoughts closely, "Indeed, if we apply the characteristics of space magic to this incident, then everything makes sense."

After a pause, Rossweisse asked again, "But there is one thing I still don't understand. Since the opponent is so skilled in spatial magic assassination, why did he only knock out one of my sentries and draw a few neat dividing lines?"

Leon helped her continue the analysis.

"In my opinion, there are two possibilities for the other party to do this."

"The first one is that this kind of space magic has great limitations and a certain range of use. Within a safe range, the opponent's limit is to deal with you, a secret sentry in the middle of the forest."

"The second type is a declaration of war."

"...A letter of challenge?"

"Ah."

Leon said with a serious expression, "The other side is telling us that the next attack that will far exceed the Battle of Constantine... is coming soon."

Chapter 249: 57 Are you a riddle man? Coincidentally, so am I

Twenty kilometers outside the Silver Dragon border, on a towering general platform, a man walked up to the side of Star Wandering Dragon King Ravi.

"I told you that intimidation has no effect on Leon Casmode. Not only did your 'ghost' not scare him, but it made him take precautions in advance through those clues."

A few days ago, Ravi used space magic to kill a secret sentry in the mountains on the Silver Dragon border without anyone noticing.

I originally planned to use this trick to shock the opponent and see what level he was at this time.

The result is predictable. Ravi underestimated his opponent's attentiveness and ability to react on the spot.

Almost on the same night when the secret sentry was killed, the Silver Dragon Clan cancelled all independent sentry posts and replaced them with mobile sentries consisting of groups of five people.

Moreover, the distance between each group of five people is twenty meters, and the one hundred-meter-long line leaves no place for any "ghost" to escape.

Ravi's space magic no longer dared to act rashly.

But regarding the man's afterthought, Ravi just snorted disdainfully.

"How can you be sure that this counterattack strategy was formulated by Leon Casmode?"

The man shrugged nonchalantly. "He used this tactic before when he served the Empire. It can be considered one of his classic anti-ambush tactics."

"Your spatial magic has a certain range of use, and each of his arrays is stretched out to a hundred meters, and they are all staring at each other. You have no idea where to start."

"Heh... If you ask me, I shouldn't have tried any psychological warfare from the beginning. I should have just let Star come over."

The Star Dragon King, Star, has a seniority in the dragon clan that even surpasses Constantine.

Ravi's gaze slowly withdrew from the Silver Dragon's territory and slowly moved to the face of the man next to him.

His tone was low and even threatening.

"Nacho Salaman, the Empire and our dragon clan are only in a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship. Know your position. The Shining Star Dragon King is not someone you can summon and dismiss at will."

It can be heard that Ravi respects Sta very much.

But Nacho didn't care.

He just sneered, "It's not me who asked Star to come here, this is the order of 'that master'."

When mentioning 'that adult', Nacho's face was full of piety, as if 'that adult' was right next to him.

Ravi frowned slightly.

He knew that the reason why Nacho, as a messenger, was so arrogant and dared to speak nonsense in front of him, the Dragon King, was entirely because he relied on the "sir" he mentioned.

And Ravi came here to supervise the battle today, which was also the instruction of "that adult".

My Lord said that although the Star Dragon King is powerful, we still need to be prepared just in case.

Prepare for both situations, that refers to Ravi.

But Lavie couldn't understand at all, how could there be a human in this world who could defeat Star?

He just defeated Constantine, but he dared to put the word "invincible" on his face.

Humans...are a narrow-minded race after all, Ravi thought.

"Speaking of which, Ravi, the secret weapon that you, Bligh, and Jaggers have been researching should have been perfected, right?" Nacho asked.
