Chapter 52: 【Explore the White Tower at Night】

"Boy, how many books have you read in so many days? How many famous art of war have you learned in history? Are you all lost to feed the dogs now? Didn't the female doll tell you about the battle report about the Northwest!!!? You Don’t you think about it with your head?!"
"I just ask you, if you are the commander of the Great Moon Kingdom, you have defeated the 200,000 troops of the Empire in one fell swoop and occupied the important northwestern town, and you know that the opponent's military is insufficient and you can't mobilize enough troops in a short time. What would you do? You know, the vast territory of the northwest has been completely exposed to the soldiers of the Great Moon Kingdom! Could it be that they assembled more than 80,000 cavalry in the northwestern town of Mudan? They assembled so many cavalry What are you doing there? Are you waiting to put the horses in Mutan Fort? Now the entire northwestern region, in the eyes of the Great Moon Kingdom, is already a piece of undefended fat! Wouldn't they be tempted?"
"The Northwest Legion is dead! To me, they can save the entire army from annihilation and retreat safely. God bless you! Just now you went to see the emperor. Did he say to send reinforcements? Did he say to send troops? idiot!!"
"Rody's face changed drastically immediately, but he couldn't help but frown: "Maybe the emperor will send reinforcements... After all, the northwest is also the territory of the empire..."
"Hmph!" Andy's voice seemed to sneer: "Send troops? If the empire can send troops now, why would the emperor receive the envoys of the Great Moon Kingdom so much? The empire does not send troops, but has no troops at all! How many days does it take to mobilize troops from the north? How many days does it take to mobilize troops from the man? Even if the emperor has the courage, he is willing to take great risks to dispatch the Central Cavalry Regiment! But how many days does it take to send troops from the imperial capital?"
Roddy immediately closed his mouth tightly. Quick calculations in his mind.
Do not send troops? Then there is only one explanation left! His Majesty the Emperor received the other party's envoys for the sake of slowing down! But at present, I have hit the other party’s envoy, and it seems that peace is no longer possible. In other words, the Great Moon Kingdom probably did not really want to seek peace. They sent an envoy, probably to cover people’s eyes. Otherwise, they gathered so much. Why do more troops? Parade?
Since a great war is inevitable--or a huge failure is inevitable, the intention of sending oneself is too sinister...
Who is the emperor most taboo in the empire? This Roddy now knows that the emperor's most taboo is the master of the Tulip family! If you can take this opportunity to beat the Tulip family down, then the emperor is absolutely willing to do it!
Send your own to the northwest, not to mention whether the remaining half of the Northwest Legion can stop the iron cavalry of the Great Moon Kingdom-if it fought, it would probably be impossible. I was probably defeated and died...Even if I ran fast and was not killed, but after I came back, I was finished-the myth of the Tulip family was shattered! The halo on the head is gone. His Majesty the Emperor perfectly solved an internal threat!
Roddy sweated more and whispered, "But, the emperor won't use the sacrifices of tens of thousands of people from the Northwest Army to achieve this goal? That's too much!"
Andy's voice became deep and cold: "You are too young! In the struggle for imperial power, which time is not bloody, as long as the imperial power can be preserved, what are the lives of tens of thousands of people? Besides, even if the emperor does not have that This kind of courage sacrifices the entire Northwest Legion, but as long as the Northwest Legion is defeated and fled, the goal is achieved! Although you know that you are a special envoy in name, you are only used as a decoration, but externally, others are not like that. Look! The world will think that the Tulip family is the real commander! And the defeat of the Northwest Army is the defeat of the Tulip family! If I were the emperor...humph! You, as your majesty’s military envoy, did not work well and led to the defeat of the empire. When the time comes, you will be ruthlessly killed, and others will have nothing to say!"
These words made Roddy's heart beat wildly!
Roddy thought about it and didn't go to discuss with Nicole again. He was just thinking secretly. It's just that he was not a quick-witted person. In such a short time, where did he go to think of something?
After sitting for a long time, Andy's voice sounded again: "Boy, as long as you promise me one thing, I promise you to help you solve this problem!"
"What?" Roddy's heart moved. Although he was originally simple, he has been fascinated by his ears these days and has also learned a lot of scheming. This skeleton wakes up at this time, and he must have an idea in his heart!
"Tonight! That's tonight! You sneaked into the White Tower, at the place you saw during the day, open the wall, and go in and take a look." Andy's voice was not loud, but very firm.
"Good!" Roddy didn't want to agree immediately. At this time, he has no choice. This mysterious skeleton is inexplicable everywhere, and he doesn't know how many secrets he hides. Since he can wake himself up, he must probably have a solution!
Roddy waited patiently until the evening. Nicole didn't come to see him again at night because of his shyness. He just ordered Angie to serve Roddy for dinner.
In the middle of the night, the moon had reached the treetops. Roddy got up quietly from the bed and put on a samurai costume quietly. After hesitating, he found out the silver mask that Nicole had used before and took it. The concentrating sword quietly turned out from the window.
In fact, his method of concealing himself is not clever. The guards have seen him long ago, but the original young master Sete often staged this kind of situation of sneaking out in the middle of the night at home. These guards recognized Roddy’s. The figure, most of them are not surprised, deliberately let him go, did not come out to stop. I just thought to myself: This young master has been born for so many days and finally recovered his nature.
Roddy knows the way to the college, and there are no pedestrians on the street at night. Just be careful to avoid the patrols of the police station that are not lined up. All the way to the Imperial Academy without any surprises, time was also used up.
Quietly climbed in from the wall of the academy. Fortunately, the academy was not a heavily guarded site, but no one noticed it. In the darkness, he identified the path of the White Tower, and then ran over quietly, hidden by the trees on both sides.
The bottom of the White Tower is a prototype base, and a thick door is completely open-I think it is because the famous Warlock Elder Glenn lives on the tower, so there is no guard. It's just that Andy reminds Roddy from time to time.
"Don't step on the sixth step! That's a magic trick! Don't touch the handrail of the stair railing! And...be careful, don't step on the pattern on the floor! That's the formation under the sorcerer's cloth!"
With the guidance of the old skeleton, Roddy came quietly all the way to the floor that he had visited during the day. Standing in front of the wall again. Roddy was already sweating at the moment, and he was secretly relieved. He ran all the way, but luckily he was not recognized, and he was already very nervous at this moment. You know, he has never tried this kind of thief at night.
Roddy stretched out his hand and pushed the wall gently, then listened for a while, making sure that there was no one around, and then tapped the wall lightly.
"Use your sword!" Andy's voice pointed Roddy in his head.
"It's like the last sword you used to fight that barbarian during the day. Focus your power in your hand little by little, and then... do you see the gem on the hilt? Then pinch it hard, a little bit. A little harder! Don't be too nervous!" Andy's voice also seemed a little nervous, but he still didn't forget to talk nonsense as usual: "Poor, that alien prince thought you were using vindictiveness... something so low. How can you compare with the power in your body now! At the best, you are basically like a waste now, but in your body, the old man Qiu gives you the'real power'! Although it is just a small introduction, it is so After many days of cultivating, your own strength has already been automatically activated, and you have a little foundation. Well... it should be a little bit stronger than waste..."
"Shut up! Andy!" Roddy was so dizzy and unable to concentrate, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
Right now, Roddy concentrated, as he did when he used the sword two times before, slowly concentrated the faint heat of his body on the hand holding the sword, and then slowly applied force. ...
Suddenly, I saw that the gem on the hilt of the Light Concentrating Sword suddenly emitted a fascinating light, and then the light dimmed immediately, and then the sword body began to faintly project a strange, faint soft light. . A faint golden light flashed slowly on the blade.
"Huh?" Roddy was a little surprised, couldn't help but hum lightly.
"Stupid! Hurry up and use the sword to slash! Be lighter!" Andy urged.
Roddy gritted his teeth and thrust the sword fiercely into the wall--with a soft "chirp", the light-concentrating sword, which was originally fragile, was inserted into the wall silently, as if piercing a piece. As easy as thin!
Roddy stared at the sword in his hand, and was speechless in surprise.
"Quick!" Andy yelled, "Don't be in a daze! Your strength is too weak, and the sword won't last long!"
Roddy converged, slowly turned the sword, and cut a large square piece on the wall! In horror, the original solid rock wall was softer than the bread at home under the light-gathering sword, and it was silently cut off by Roddy a large piece, just enough for a person to get in.
Roddy pulled out the light-concentrating sword, looked at it carefully, and made sure that the sword was not damaged in any way, before he put it away in surprise. Then forcefully moved the rock on the wall out.
The wall is really empty! It's just that it's dark in the night, and nothing can be seen clearly, and there is still a smell of old decadence.
Roddy gritted his teeth and slowly leaned in through the gap, first took out a illuminating magic gem from his arms, and gently threw it out. The gem rolls on the ground, and as the gem emits a soft light, the situation in the space is probably vaguely visible.
The two mice in the corner were frightened and squeaked out. Roddy stepped in with a boast, turned around and carefully stuffed the rock back on the wall, so that even if someone comes, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice the trace of someone moving on the wall.
Roddy looked at the surrounding scene faintly by the faint light, frowned and said, "Where is this place?"
