Nurman, or Nurman-Ig-Heraman-Imoiben, the Ig in the name means that at least one generation in the family has inherited the kingship, although the king of Istania

In the eyes of the upper-class nobles of Corin Ithurion, he was just a country bumpkin from a remote place, but this name still brought supreme honor to the governor. Heraman was his father's name, and Aimoy was his father's name.

Coming from his even more legendary grandfather, the Elmeyben family had fallen into decline three generations ago. However, his father and grandfather's generation were full of outstanding people, and the Elmeyben family knew how to adapt to the times and accumulated little by little.

Only then did we have what we have today.

Old Heraman died seven years ago due to the recurrence of old injuries sustained in the Battle of Bain. Now the burden of the family falls on his shoulders alone. Restoring the glory of the Amoyben family seems to have become a

The lingering haze in the heart of the governor made him quickly mature from the frivolity and innocence of his youth, and became more mature day by day. Today, he finally has children on his knees and hair on his hair.

He is gradually getting hoarfrost, and now outsiders say he looks more and more like his grandfather in the past.

Numan looked at the middle-aged mystic in front of him with a gloomy expression. The curly beard on his lips seemed to make this gloominess three-dimensional. The governor was usually a person who was extremely tidy, and his meticulousness in public seemed to have

It has become a label on him. But now the sandstorm is rustling the outer walls of the castle, and it is dark outside the window. Sand and gravel fall from the ceiling from time to time, landing on the shoulders of his clean and beautiful governor's robe, but the governor is

Without even looking at it.

The curly beard on his lips moved slightly, and he finally spoke, but his voice was low: "You promised me that there will be no problems, so I allowed you to bring those people in. For the sake of you and me, we are all for your majesty.

For the sake of service, I don’t want to embarrass my own people. But now that we have lost contact with the dungeon, are you still planning to hide it if my people hadn’t noticed something unusual? It seems that you all have some awareness of the defense level of Bein Fortress.

Misunderstanding, do you think I can’t even control my own territory?”

The middle-aged mystic explained in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "My Lord Governor, we just lost contact. After all, in such weather, anything can happen. We have already sent people to investigate. It may not be that there is really an accident, and there is no accident yet."

When it comes time to draw a conclusion, we'd better not get into trouble before everything is confirmed."

Hearing the word 'self-disruption', Numan showed a hint of displeasure. These mystics were as arrogant as ever, making them always like to point fingers outside their own fields, but he said unceremoniously: "Maybe you haven't

I know very well what a military zone is. Bein Fortress has a set of time-honored rules, which have been passed down for decades, even hundreds of years, and are no shorter than your Tower in the Cloud. Losing contact here is equivalent to an accident.

An accident means there is danger.”

"You can talk nonsense, because failure will only lose a little reputation," he said calmly: "But with the accumulation of the 'Eye of Revealing' for hundreds of years, this little reputation seems to be nothing to you.

But that doesn’t mean I’m as easy to deceive as those fools outside, you’d better figure out who’s in charge here.”

The middle-aged mystic smiled indifferently: "Sir, you are worrying too much. In fact, even if those people escape, what can they do? A member of a small mercenary group took over some tasks from the Port Authority.

, is an insignificant role at all. On the other side is Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is really ridiculous. She probably doesn’t even know what she is doing, but she actually hired a few young adventurers. In front of us, these people are almost like

Transparent, if it weren’t for avoiding unnecessary complications, we wouldn’t even bother to bring them back.”

"Don't forget, Lord Governor," he added: "If we can catch them once, we can catch them a second time. Besides, where can they escape in this weather?"

"I hope so," Numan replied: "But don't forget, they are the Holy Chosen Ones, sandstorms are nothing to them, they often use death as a means, you understand me

What do you mean? I also have some Chosen Ones under my command, and I know these people better than you."

But the middle-aged mystic was not panicked: "Ten miles away from this fortress is within the city of Bein. Every temple in the city is guarded by dedicated personnel. Where can these little mice escape to?"

"It seems that you are well prepared."

"This is what Mr. Albany has decided. Although he is not here for the time being, we will continue to implement his plan. For the sake of safety, we will closely monitor the city during the entire operation."

"Then this action..."

"Don't worry, Her Highness the Princess doesn't know anything about it."

Numan was silent for a moment, as if he had been convinced. He glanced at the middle-aged mystic without leaving any trace, and said, "But if he were here, he might not have such an optimistic attitude as you."

After hearing this, the middle-aged mystic was slightly shuddered and sobered up a bit: "Thank you for reminding me. Sir Albany's caution is indeed impressive. Although I said that before, we still try not to let them escape."

Of this fortress. Of course, provided this is not a false alarm."

Nurman was noncommittal. As the other party said, a few little mice could not threaten the Bein Fortress. At best, they could only cause trouble to these mystics. He was more worried about whether his own people had suffered losses, and he had to step forward to abdicate responsibility. No matter

Whether the final outcome of this matter is good or bad has nothing to do with him at this point.

He withdrew his gaze. What he said before was actually a pun, but it was a pity that the other party didn't understand it. If Albany were in this place, he wouldn't know what to think when he saw his subordinates taking care of so many people. "You're still too young,"

Nuerman shook his head and walked forward, "If he is that old and cunning guy, he will definitely find ways to drag himself into the water."

Fortunately, the other party is not here at the moment.

And Afifa was standing behind the two of them, in the shadow under the door. She looked down at her toes with a pale face, and was afraid that the two of them would notice that something was wrong with her. After all, she had just done it not long ago.

She went to the dungeon. Although she did not release Fang, how could she make it clear at this time?

In her heart, she seemed to be a lonely boat that was about to capsize under the strong wind and rain, and she was tremblingly thinking about what she would do after this incident was over. Lord Albany would definitely find this out, and she was so uneasy

I'm about to cry.

At this time Nuerman walked up to her and stopped.

Afifah was so frightened that she thought the other party had noticed something strange about her, and there was no trace of blood on her face, but Numan just stopped, nodded to her slightly as if saluting, and then continued to walk forward.

After Afeifa calmed herself down, she remembered that the Governor would salute her like this every time. Although she didn't know why, she didn't think much about it. She only felt that the other person was polite and gentlemanly, and she felt deeply towards him.

I still have a good impression of him. But now I am in a state of confusion, and I can't even think of a reason why.

After the governor left, the middle-aged mystic turned to her and said:

"Afifah, please go and rest first."

"Lord Albany said that you don't need to interfere with this matter, so you don't have to worry about this matter."

Afifah lowered his head and responded hesitantly.

The middle-aged mystic noticed something was wrong and asked with some concern: "What's wrong, Afifah?"

"No, it's nothing..."

"It's really nothing. If you feel uncomfortable, it's best to go see Ms. Emma."

The unprecedented lie made Afifa's heart almost beat out of her chest: "No, no, it's just that the weather makes me a little uneasy."

"It's a normal phenomenon," but the mystic did not doubt him: "I haven't seen such a sandstorm since you were born. I saw it once when I was young. If you feel uneasy, just go to sleep."

Afifah took a deep breath and nodded hurriedly.

…

"How's the situation?"

Fang took the monocular telescope from the priestess and looked forward. Before he captured the fortress area, he separated a small group of troops from the Shield of Lufu and sent a reconnaissance team in this direction.

In order to observe the situation in the inner court. This investigation team was led by the Priestess Hai Lai who volunteered to lead it. The previous news about the abnormal deployment of the guards in the inner court came from here.

The location they are currently located on is located on a tower on the outer wall, only a few dozen meters away from the gate of the inner courtyard. Although the visibility is extremely poor in this dust storm weather, due to the firelight on the inner courtyard, so

I could barely see clearly the guards patrolling.

This location was also explored before. Because he had a plan in place early on, he had already identified this place where he could explore the inner courtyard before entering the inner courtyard. In fact, it was not just this time, but this place had the best view. If

If something unexpected happens, they actually have several alternative locations.

Since it had already been noted in the notes, Hai Lai and the others could easily find this place without him personally guiding them.

Of course, although it is only fifty meters away, in this dust storm weather, Fang basically does not expect to be able to use his clockwork fairy to fly over for reconnaissance. He is afraid that it will be damaged by the sand before it can fly ten meters away.

It blocked the movable components and fell. Therefore, he chose a more primitive observation method, the telescope.

It is said that this monocular telescope was also found by him from the previous warehouse. It should be a personal item in the box. He had seen the other party use it once or twice before.

Through the somewhat cloudy lenses, Fang could clearly see the situation over there.

The so-called abnormal mobilization of Miss Priest actually strengthened the defense force in the inner court. Originally there were only a few patrolling guards, but now there are at least two more teams. However, they did not go deep into the outer area of ​​the fortress. It seemed that they were just simply

After strengthening the defense force in the inner court, Fang thought for a moment when he saw this scene and guessed the reason.

It seems that the other party should know that some abnormalities have occurred in the peripheral area. They may have a special, non-magical contact method to contact the peripheral area, but this contact method may only be able to transmit limited information, and it is impossible to determine what happened here.

What.

In other words, the opponent may find that the peripheral area has lost contact, but cannot confirm why. Therefore, to be on the safe side, the opponent first mobilizes troops to seal off this area, but does not easily set foot in it.

However, Fang knows that this situation is only temporary. The opponent may have limited troops outside this area, so they adopt such a strategy. Once the opponent completes their mobilization, someone will soon enter the outer area. This

After all, it is a fortress, so it won't even have this few manpower.

He put down his telescope and shared his thoughts with everyone.

Naturally, Lu Fu's Shield didn't show any expression. They didn't even know what the situation was, or that the current situation was beyond their ability to handle. However, as a newcomer, Luo Hao acted very calmly and treated him

The judgment expresses agreement.

Fang couldn't help but think of zx's description of how the other party determined the time on the airship, and thought that the fat man seemed to have some tricks. The military really had hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

As for the other little fat man, he blinked after hearing what he said: "Then what should we do next? We won't have to fight them, right? How many people are there in this place?"

"The garrison of Bein Fortress is at least two thousand people."

Luo Hao replied.

Wu Xiaopang took a breath of air when he heard this: "Even if we are the gods of war, we can't kill so many people."

Fang thought this guy was a bit funny, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. In fact, he no longer thought about the mission of Her Royal Highness, but only thought about how to leave this place. A military fortress sounded a bit scary, but

It's impossible for two thousand people to actually come out in full force, and it wouldn't take that many people to surround them.

But when the enemy is overt and we are covert, in this intricate castle, they still have a chance. The fortress is to guard against external enemies, and its interior is often designed to be as complex as possible to delay the enemy's advance once they invade.
