In the process of going to Dianke's office, Welling discovered that on the surface, the defense of Degao City was not as strong as that of Matsuo City.
There are no towering city walls and no terrifying Phalanx attack groups. In addition to a large number of vehicles taking off at any time for routine patrols, there are also many medium and large vehicles taking off and landing in various directions. In some places, large anti-aircraft weapons are deployed. Apart from weapons and equipment, there is basically no appearance of a large-scale military town.
In just ten years, the pattern of warfare has changed dramatically.
Welling estimated that, on the one hand, the East Japan Kingdom did lack air strike power, and on the other hand, the battle of change that took place in Okamoto Castle in the 113th year of the Divine Enlightenment completely opened up the art of war on the home planet. era.
In this era where thermal weapons are no longer the first choice, the threshold for having the ability to control the battlefield has reached mid-level warlocks and mages. Sending entry-level personnel to the battlefield is almost murder.
The mid-level warlock and mage can change the state of the body in time and avoid the attack power of hot weapons. Therefore, even if it is the defensive side, the main targets of the various armors it deploys have become vehicles. Rather than being the other party's personnel.
Just a few days before departure, Wei Ling, Li Lingyou, and Shou Gong conducted systematic analysis and study of the large and small battles in the past ten years, as well as various brand-new wars at Imperial University and Imperial Military and Political University. After understanding the research direction, they were not surprised to see such a situation of light and dark tightness in Degao City.
Not long after, they met Ms. Murong Zizhu from the Dian Ke Office.
Compared with the rawness back then, after ten years, in this position where he has been honing his ability to deal with people all day long, Murong Zizhu, the person in charge of the Dian Ke Office, has become more graceful and mellow, with a casual attitude, a full smile, and a clear personality in every gesture. She is very comfortable in traveling, and it can be seen that she is very experienced in dealing with visitors with different demands:
"Oh, it's Shibaro. You haven't been here for so many years, haven't you missed your sister?"
Faced with such a situation, Li Lingyou is no longer the shy boy he used to be:
"Hey, Sister Zizhu, how dare I think nonsense, haha, at my age, I don't accept anyone but this!"
Once Li Shiba started to be stupid, he was not stingy. Murong Zizhu immediately pursed his lips and smiled, not daring to tease, changed the topic, and looked at Wei Ling and Shou Gong:
"Mr. Welling, it's so gratifying to have returned safely!"
Wei Ling smiled slightly and admired Murong's intelligence ability:
"Well, thank you for your concern. It seems that the Murong family and the empire have really broken their bones and connected their tendons. Even the Murong family's diplomatic chief who has a busy schedule knows about such a little thing.
I really don’t know how many wealthy families and other people in our empire are providing you with information sources. It seems that Mrs. Zheng’s work is very effective. "
Murong Zizhu immediately had a headache. This powerful spirit is indeed not easy to fool. If she is pragmatic, she will touch on sensitive topics. If she is pragmatic, it will be even harder to talk about. Therefore, she can only speak in a business-like manner:
"I wonder if the three of you need my help this time?"
Li Lingyou made a request with a smile:
"Sister Zi Zhu, there is no need to be embarrassed. We are just taking a look around. You just need to give us the corresponding authority. We don't have to do it with our own eyes. We just need to be on an equal footing with other aristocratic families.
By the way, if it is convenient, we would still like to meet Elder Murong Dongdong. "
Welling added:
"Also, Crow Dan, Huai Shan, Xuan Ming and the others also want to meet. If we meet them, we will throw the images to them when we go back, which is equivalent to them meeting their childhood friends."
Murong Zizhu looked a little strange and hesitated for a moment:
"Mr. Welling, are you the founder of the Lingxian Sect and the mysterious master?"
Welling nodded:
"Well, yes, this has nothing to do with meeting Elder Lonicera and Huaishan Crow Dan, right?"
Murong Zizhu smiled bitterly and nodded slightly:
"It stands to reason that there is no... By the way, I can immediately notify Crow Dan and Huai Shan to come and see you. As for Elder Lonicera, I can tell you on your behalf. As for what he decides, I can't control it."
The three nodded.
Later, the three of them waited for Crow Dan and Huai Shan in an elegant room at the Dian Ke Office.
The room has a typical Ying teahouse layout, with solid wood decoration and minimalist style. However, outside the wooden corridor facing the courtyard, the dry landscape is decorated with great effort.
The three of them sat down and drank tea for a while when someone knocked on the door.
Immediately, the sliding door opened, and a delicate girl, accompanied by a tall and honest young man, walked in.
Wei Ling, Shou Gong and Li Lingyou immediately smiled and nodded. The girl was the crow they had seen ten years ago.
That little girl of twelve or thirteen years old has grown into a tall and graceful girl.
And the honest young man is naturally Huaishan.
When the two of them saw Wei Ling and the others, they both smiled and saluted:
"Crow Dan (Huaishan) has met Brother Wei Ling, Brother Li and Sister Shou Gong!"
"Haha, please sit down, please sit down, you're welcome. When we met back then, the smart little girl has grown into a big girl, and the green boy has turned into a handsome young man!"
The two of them were not pretentious. They sat down casually and looked at the three of them. They seemed to have a lot to say.
"Crow Dan, Huai Shan, I think you are both mid-level warlocks. Yes, you are very good!" Wei Ling looked at the two of them approvingly.
"Yes, I think Crow Dan is a little taller than Jinu, and Huaishan and Weiling are about the same. Haha, you two have similar temperaments, honest and simple."
The guard smiled and praised.
"Thank you, Brother Welling and Sister Gonggong, haha. Speaking of which, there are many young volunteers from the Empire here, and we communicate frequently.
Since the completion of the Qianlong Project in the empire, there has been too much news about the Lingxian Sect on the battle network, and there are also many images of them teaming up to challenge. Huaishan and I are familiar with them. They are so powerful, and many of the battle examples are very exciting and classic... …I regretted it several times. I really should have returned to the empire with Brother Welling. "
The three people in Welling laughed loudly, and naturally saw that Crow didn't really regret his original choice.
"Let me show you how our friends are doing."
After Wei Ling's message was thrown out, various images of his return to Yaxi County and the Yunlei Mountains were packaged and thrown to the two of them, including various scenes of Mo Yao, Wei Ling, Xuan Ming, Nan Xing, Phytolacca and Jinnu. , naturally vivid in my mind.
After a while, Crow Dan and Huai Shan looked at each other, smiled, and saluted the three of Welling again:
"The final medicine can make the senior brother of the Lingxian Sect, and together with Wei Ling, they can become the two most mysterious senior brothers of the Lingxian Sect. It is really beyond our imagination.
Xuan Ming and others have also become early intermediate level warlocks. We are really grateful to you, Brother Wei Ling. "
Wei Ling waved his hands and shook his head with a smile:
"Actually, this is all because you children are so talented and we didn't put in much effort. You have achieved such great results yourself. As their master, I am very ashamed."
Crow gall nodded slightly:
"Brother Welling knows that I am a wisdom warlock, and I am not good at fighting. We all know something about what you encountered ten years ago, as well as the situation of Sister Gonggong... Anyway, brother, your ability, we are Absolutely confident.
I guess you came here this time because you want to know about the situation of Yu Nie and others? "
Wei Ling, Shou Gong and Li Lingyou looked at each other and nodded with a wry smile.
With the mind of a wise warlock, it is indeed easy to guess the purpose of Wei Ling.
"Brother, actually I don't really agree with the significance of your trip. It's mainly based on two points."
Crow Dan looked at Huai Shan who was trying to stop her, shook his head slightly, and then looked firmly at the three Wei Lings.
"Oh? I'd love to hear your opinion."
Welling nodded seriously.
"First of all, I know that my eldest brother has always been deeply concerned about our twelve children, for fear that if someone had a bad life, it would make you feel that you were not doing well or even derelict in your duty.
In this regard, Huaishan and I have never doubted your good intentions, and we are very grateful for it. From the current situation of Mo Yao and others, I know that they really have great luck in life. "
The three of them nodded slightly.
"However, now that we are all adults, my eldest brother fully supported the choice Huaishan and I made back then. We still admire it in our hearts and give us full respect and understanding.
Now, Yu Nie and the other four must have their own ideas. Therefore, I think brother, your trip will be in vain. "
Welling nodded:
"This is within our expectations, and the situation you mentioned is a high probability event."
Crow Dan smiled faintly:
"In this regard, we also guessed that you, brother, are mentally prepared. You just want to understand the current situation of the six of us. The original intention is not to ask us to make any choices. We know it well. However, there is a situation. Brother, please don't Ignored."
"Um?"
"Actually, the twelve children of our time have achieved higher results. Especially the existence of Mo Yao and Wei Ling who were once judged as natural persons. To some people, it is a kind of embarrassment and suffering, and a kind of mediocrity. proof.
At the beginning, a certain elder judged that Mo Yao and Wei Ling were useless people and left them to fend for themselves. For Xuan Ming and the other four, he also judged that their achievements would not be high, so the family gave up... Of course, brother, you know what I'm saying. What does giving up mean.
Later, in order to prepare for the war for the country, the family sent Yu Nie and others to Matsuo City, which was regarded as a disguised form of abandonment and exchange. "
The expressions of the three people in Welling became serious.
"What should be said and what should not be said are actually just a few words.
In fact, we never pay attention to these things, and we will only tell you these things, Brother Welling, because I know your thoughts and you have absolutely no intention of treating us as bargaining chips or commodities.
The above are just my analysis... Therefore, for a certain elder, our achievements are proof of his mediocre abilities. I'm just giving you a reminder. The main purpose is to hope that you don't have too many hopes of knowing the whereabouts of Yu Nie and others through someone. "
Wei Ling, Shou Gong and Li Lingyou already understood what Crow Dan meant.
There is a high probability that Murong Rendong will not see the three of them. Even if he knew who sent Yu Nie and others to Matsuo City at that time, he would not tell them.
Because every child's achievement slaps him in the face, especially Mo Yao and Weiling. The higher the achievement, the more embarrassed he will be.
Therefore, Crow Dan was worried that Wei Ling would not only gain nothing, but would also be targeted by Elder Murong Rendong, who would secretly use Ji Zi to hinder him.
Wei Ling laughed and looked at Crow Dan and Huai Shan with relief:
"A very smart girl, Huaishan, you have to take good care of the crow's gallbladder."
Crow Dan blushed inexplicably and looked at Huaishan.
Huaishan chuckled and nodded.
"Have you heard from Yu Nie and the others in recent years?"
"No, the first city the family attacked was Matsuo City. There was no information about them at that time. Then in every subsequent city, Huaishan and I were paying attention to their news, but in the past ten years, there has been no reliable information. Information.
If nothing else, I think they should be in Asakawa Castle or Shikamoto Castle in Kamotohara. "
"Okay, thank you very much. I have nothing to worry about for your safety. I am just a little worried about Yu Nie and the others.
We analyze that the current confrontation is only temporary. We are most afraid that one day we will find the four of them standing opposite each other in a warlock battle. "
Crow Dan and Huai Shan nodded, but also had some worries.
"However, Crow Dan, Huaishan, don't worry too much. With Patriarch Murong's foresight, four little warlocks were allowed to enter the Ying Clan at once that day. The other party should not be a hostile family. Haha, what do you think?"
Wei Ling's judgment made Li Lingyou and Shou Gong secretly nod.
Crow Dan and Huaishan also laughed. They understood what Wei Ling meant. Maybe Yu Nie and others were also members of the Murong clan, but they were lurking with that family now. They would not finally be able to do anything until the final attack on Luben City started. Be informed.
"When the war is finally over, I welcome you to the imperial capital and have a drink together!"
Li Lingyou sent an invitation in advance.
"Thank you, Brother Li. We believe that such a day will come!"
