"Assemble a team of scouts and set off to this area immediately to find the hidden fortress." Nero spread out the map and ordered seriously.
"Yes!" The soldier took the order and walked out of the camp.
"The other party's current main actions are two. One is to kidnap our three cavalry heroes, and the other is not to kill ordinary soldiers... The information that can be obtained at the scene is probably like this."
An hour ago, Lawrence returned to the camp on roller skates and reported to the anxiously waiting people, "According to my point of view...the unknown hostile Servant, yes, Servant, and is good at releasing
The followers of the large-scale mental tremor-type magic probably have no ill intentions toward us, but just want us to...meet them through this method."
With this doubt, Nero sent a team of scouts to find the opponent's base at the location described by Lawrence.
"I don't know what the other party's position is for wanting to meet with us, but judging from this method, he shouldn't be united with the Roman Empire." Lawrence analyzed, "I'm just telling you my guess.
, the other party should be in a neutral position, and wants to see the positions of our side and the enemy, and then confirm their own position... Of course, this conjecture is not necessarily correct, it may also be a trap."
At this time, the tent door was pulled open.
"Mr. Zuomura, Miss Jingke, you are back." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled when he saw the two servants returning safely.
"Report on the situation in the enemy's capital." Nero put his hands on the table and looked at the two of them.
Zuo Cun nodded, took out the scroll from his chest and placed it on the table.
Everyone gathered around.
"The two of us split up and explored half of the city respectively. We couldn't find the remaining two [emperors]. We speculate that the only remaining location may be the palace in the middle." Jing Ke spoke very fast, but everyone was surprised.
But he can hear every trace of it extremely clearly.
She pointed to the center of the drawn map: "This is the center of the enemy's capital, which is a palace."
"Have you gone there to investigate?" Lawrence asked.
Zuo Cun shook his head: "There is a powerful magician there who has set up a very powerful magic position. For safety reasons, neither Jing Ke nor I chose to enter there rashly."
"A very powerful magician..." Lawrence looked serious.
"What's going on with you? Why are you stuck here and not moving forward?" Jing Ke asked doubtfully, "The United Empire still has a very large number of soldiers. If you stop marching in this position, you are very likely to be surrounded."
"I will explain this matter later, come here." Nero called towards the outside of the camp.
"Your Majesty." A soldier walked into the camp and knelt down on one knee.
"Take this map away, draw two more copies, and give one to General Hijikata Suisanke of the western army."
Hijikata Toshizo is the only one among the three generals of the Western Army who has confirmed his sanity, so leaving it to him is the best choice.
"Tell me what's going on, Your Majesty, staying here is really not a good choice." Zuo Cun found a seat and sat down, rubbing his shoulders.
"The three generals of the east side army are missing." Nero sighed, "The situation is unclear now, and with one side of the army missing, I dare not take credit and advance rashly."
"Is that so? Do you have any clues?" Jing Ke also frowned.
The current situation is indeed very difficult.
"I went to the site to investigate, leave this part to me." Lawrence smiled at Nero.
...
"...That's probably what happened." Lawrence spread his hands.
"The captured generals were not killed, and the soldiers were not killed either... This strange behavior, could it be that killing the soldiers was too time-consuming, so they chose not to kill the soldiers?" Jing Ke felt that something was wrong.
, but I don’t know what’s wrong.
"It doesn't make sense." Lawrence shook his head, "Generally speaking, casters who master many magics are recognized as the ones who can cause the greatest damage to ordinary people. The magician held by the enemy is not low in strength.
It's so easy to kill those people, it's obviously done to show us."
"By the way, Lawrence, that position in the enemy's palace..." Zuo Cun remembered something.
"I just wanted to ask you, based on your level, is that position... sophisticated?" Lawrence looked into Zuo Cun's eyes.
"...There is no doubt that it was a position set up by a very powerful magician."
"Take me to see it."
"well?"
"Take me to see if I am very sensitive to the nature of magic. I want to identify with my own eyes...whether the magician who set up a position in the palace and the magician who kidnapped three of our servants are the same person.
"Lawrence clenched his hands into fists and put his thumb joints on his lips. "Only through multi-threaded operations and confirming the intelligence can the action be meaningful."
"The two of us will take you there together... Is your name Lawrence? You can't move quickly, so let me take you to move quickly, and Zuomura will be the guard."
Several people in the camp looked at each other.
"Then, I'm asking you once again, Miss Lawrence." Fujimaru Ritsuka hugged Lawrence gently.
"Don't worry about my situation, Matthew. During my absence, the master's safety is entrusted to you." Lawrence looked at Matthew again.
"Please rest assured, Miss Lawrence!" Matthew smiled and nodded.
Jing Ke walked to Lawrence: "Then, let's set off later."
This meeting lasted for a very long time and it was almost evening.
"Well, by tomorrow morning, the scout team that went to explore the fortress where the three servants were kidnapped will almost be able to come back. It's a big thank you that you two didn't sleep last night to explore the news. Today...
Huh? Miss Jingke? What are you doing?!"
Jing Ke smiled full of heroism.
Lawrence was held in her arms like a princess.
"You are so light... I can hold you like this without affecting my speed." Jing Ke looked at Lawrence.
"But, but..." Lawrence didn't know what was going on, his face turned completely red.
"Ah...it turns out that Ms. Lawrence has this kind of constitution..." Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes flickered.
"I'm sorry to offend you a little. It takes two or three hours to get to the enemy's capital from here."
Zuo Cun did not stop Jing Ke and said with suppressed laughter: "I'm going to explore the road ahead. You guys should follow me quickly."
After saying this, Zuo Cun jumped out, and Jing Ke followed closely behind, holding Lawrence in his arms.
"Hey, Mashu, I heard Leonardo da Vinci himself said a theory, do you know?" Ritsuka approached Mashu.
"Huh? What?"
"That is, the outer appearance of the spirit base seems to permanently affect the inner part of the spirit base to a certain extent. We just saw this side. Is it the reaction of Mr. Lawrence... or the reaction of Miss Harley?
