Under the arrangements of Li Ran and Emberto, the Griffin Claws were reorganized, and those who maintained good physical fitness and strong combat effectiveness continued to remain in the combat order of the rangers and griffon trainers.
Other members who were malnourished and had average combat effectiveness were disarmed, and Archon Malen arranged housing and jobs in Starwind City to participate in the production and construction of Starwind City.
The Griffin Flying Corps will still be active on the Talengard front line, so the Griffins and their trainers will still remain in the underground world, continuing their work of delivering intelligence and launching guerrilla raids.
The reorganized Griffin Claw resistance force will take turns stationed in the garrison of Starwind City for rest and reorganization.
It will become a standing special forces unit under Li Ran, working closely with the Shadow of the Star Wind, the Chosen Soldiers, the Dark Alchemist Association and other departments to continue the mission of infiltrating the old imperial capital of Talengard.
After completing this series of arrangements, Captain Umberto immediately led the commanders of the Griffin Claw back to the underground world.
Setting off at the same time as him, there were also supplies for twenty skeleton carriages, as well as a powerful regiment of God's Chosen soldiers.
Umberto will use these materials, under the survey guidance of the Dark Elf Star Wind Shadow troops, to approach the underground entrance of Talengard, build a hidden fortress, and station an armed force capable of destroying a small army of demons.
After the fortress is completed, the intelligence transmission work with the surface of Talengard will be more efficient, and it will become a bridgehead for future counterattacks on Talengard.
Starwind City, City Lord’s Mansion.
As winter approaches, the temperature is gradually dropping.
Although it was daytime, the cold and clammy feeling forced Li Ran to light a fire in the fireplace.
In the war hall, there are materials, documents, and special reports on the progress of war research and development projects everywhere, piled randomly on the long hardwood table and the floor.
It was as messy as the bed in Li Ran's rental house.
Eureka walked down the circular stairs, looked at the chaotic hall and sighed softly.
Just one night...how could it be like this again?
Beside the long table, Li Ran was staring at the map, thinking about the situation in Talengard and his next actions.
Eureka passed by him gently and began to sort out the documents scattered on the floor.
Li Ran was too involved and did not notice Eureka's arrival.
Talengard is located in the northwest of Fengling Plain and is the old imperial capital of the extinct Griffin Dynasty.
It was once the center of cultural, material and talent prosperity for the entire empire, but now, under the poison of demons, Talengard has become a purgatory on earth.
According to the report of Griffon Claw, there are still more than 10,000 imperial citizens in Talengard City. Apart from choosing to fall and join the devil, they can only become slaves and perform endless labor.
died tragically between the whips.
The people who survived lived a life worse than pigs and dogs, and the Griffin Claw resistance army was the only armed force of humans who managed to escape the city.
It is said that Talengard's standing demon garrison reaches hundreds of thousands, and with the current size of Star Wind City, there is absolutely no possibility of launching an attack.
Not only that, Li Ran also needs to prevent the news of the existence of Starwind Territory from reaching Tallengard, secretly eliminate all demons wandering to the Wind Spirit Plain or the underground world, and prevent Tallengard's demon army from launching an attack on Starwind City from the surface.
attack.
However, Talengard will learn sooner or later that Starwind City has been re-occupied by humans.
The most urgent task at present is to open up the access to the development area before then.
After all, the only thing that can deal with natural disasters is another one.
Li Ran put a big red circle on the map at the location of Dragon Calling Port.
A steaming cup of camellia suddenly appeared on his left hand.
This was not what Li Ran had prepared in advance.
But at this time, he had no time to think, so he just mechanically picked up the camellia and drank it, feeling a warm current that warmed his cold body and dry mind.
Immediately afterwards, he opened another secret report from the resistance army sent by the gryphon.
This poor piece of papyrus was deeply stained with crimson blood. It took a lot of effort for Li Ran to read the scrawled writing on it:
Tribute to our beloved Captain Umberto:
The Talengard slave camp is undergoing a new round of purges by the demon leader Larrick. Since accepting the demon's transformation ritual, the former Archbishop of Elrath has become even crazier.
Yes, he knows we exist, but he doesn't know who we are.
In order to be loyal to his demon master, he used all means to filter us out from the slaves and eliminate the rebels' inner lines in the slave camps without reducing the output of sulfur mines.
I have to say that he succeeded. After the three-month purge, I was the last insider in the slave camp.
And now, a search team composed of fallen humans has focused on me. They have special interrogation methods, and my identity will be exposed within three days.
In order to prevent the devil's torture and magic from extracting the information in my mind, I will activate the highest-level one-time communication channel when I go to work in the sulfur mine tomorrow.
After handing over this information, I will commit suicide and reunite with my relatives at the gate of Hades.
From now on, our intelligence network in Talengard will be completely cut off...
Ha! I scared you!
Now, in this last special report, let me tell you a top-secret news. Someone of ours has infiltrated the fallen human search team and is continuously obtaining more valuable intelligence clues!
Although, even I don't know who he is, I only know that his code name is "Blood Pay".
Every morning after midnight, taking advantage of the patrol of the fallen human search team, he would stuff a piece of paper into a hole in the wall under the big tree on the west side of the slave camp.
Now, listen, my Lord Umberto, I must report to you my suggestions for the next intelligence work, and you must listen to these suggestions.
Damn old man, let me ride on your head for once! Ha!
First of all, you must send trustworthy and capable personnel to re-enter Talengard from the outside. There are Larrick's spies and lackeys in the slave camp, and we cannot safely develop new insiders.
Secondly, make good use of the clues provided by the "blood reward" and risk his life. His information is worth thousands of gold!
Finally, let me secretly tell you a secret. This is the shocking revelation mentioned in a recent note from "Blood Pay"!
Deep in the Iron Spine Mountains, there is a castle that has been captured by demons. It was recently discovered that a small army led by an archangel is hiding. Now, the demons are planning to send an army to besiege!
Ha! Next, the task is left to you!
You have to do the hard work. In addition to connecting to the intelligence network, you have to make choices.
Should he take the risk to help the archangel break out, or watch the emissary of Elrath fall?
This is a difficult choice. The devil's army has already set out and will inevitably guard against the gryphon's surprise attack. Even if we make huge sacrifices, we may not be able to succeed.
Now, my task is completed.
The Griffin Principality will be restored! Long live Elrath!
——Your loyal "messenger"... (the name is soaked in blood and cannot be read clearly)
