Chapter 710: Lanqi will no longer contribute to the empire

The mountain breeze gently caressed the scarlet and golden woods. In this season of falling leaves, the Brillda Magic Rail Train once again traveled in the rolling Langar Mountains near the capital of Kremlin.

Lanqi was sitting in compartment 404 and being investigated.

He looked a little tired, but still calm.

Of course, at this moment he was already sitting opposite his original seat.

That is the seat where teacher Landry Wasington sits.

"Yes, it was me who defeated the enemy on the train."

Lanci answered the questions of the investigating officer sitting opposite him honestly.

"The situation at that time was intolerable. How far had it come? In the capital of Blierda, there were still people who dared to openly challenge the authority of our empire! I could not tolerate her being so rampant for even a second. I had to let her know what unparalleled imperial power and imperial faith meant."

He couldn't help tapping on the table.

He was upright and righteous, yet he hated evil and did not want to be remembered for his achievements. The officer opposite him nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Because what the young man opposite said didn't sound like a lie at all.

His attitude was enthusiastic and sincere, and anyone sitting opposite him would feel ashamed of being a fellow imperialist - as an imperial soldier, their love and faith in the empire were not as firm as that of such a young man.

"Then Mr. Landry, my superiors may come to ask you questions later. I don't mean to embarrass you, but as you are the central figure in the incident, we still need your cooperation so that we can get more clues about the enemy."

The investigating officer put away his notebook, stood up and said to Lanci.

"no problem."

Lanci nodded and watched the investigating officer leave.

The aisles of the carriage were covered with scorch marks. If it weren't for the solid enough protective barrier covering it, the train would have derailed and been buried among the mountains.

The Capital Garrison troops shuttled back and forth in the carriage, comforting the frightened passengers and collecting evidence for investigation.

As an elite force guarding the center of the empire, the Capital Garrison is well-known for its strict selection and brutal training, and is specifically responsible for the security and defense of the capital.

Among the several departments under the headquarters, the "Imperial Guard" serves as the emperor's personal guard and also guards important places such as the imperial palace and government agencies.

The Gendarmerie is responsible for maintaining social order in the capital area, suppressing resistance activities, and monitoring the words and deeds of officials and the public.

The "Air Defense Force" manages the air defense alarm system, operates the capital's air defense forces, and resists enemy air raids. The "Fortress Garrison" is stationed in several large fortresses outside the capital, forming the capital's first line of defense.

This time, there was an accident with the magic energy of the Brillda, and the person in charge was the Second Brigade of the Gendarmerie in charge of the outer areas of the capital.

Fortunately, most of the passengers were safe and sound, but in other carriages, the bodies of the imperial guards who were on the train were everywhere, and their blood stained the broken glass windows and twisted metal.

"The extremely dangerous elements are no longer on the Brillda. Please rest assured, passengers. The Brillda Magic Rail Train has now been taken over by the Imperial Capital Garrison. Please actively cooperate with the military investigation. The train will soon arrive at the final stop, Brillda. Please wait patiently for a moment."

The train broadcast was still reassuring the passengers.

Most of the passengers were not as calm as Lanqi.

Maybe it would be better if the performance was a little flustered at this time.

But the Landry played by Lanci is natural and confident, so for him, there is no need to act out many things deliberately.

"Lanqi, are you sure you haven't surrendered to the enemy?... I'm a little scared."

Talia started chatting with him again in his mind.

Now as Lanqi's ghost, her fate is basically tied to Lanqi's, and she can only watch his story every day.

Now she gradually felt that something was wrong.

Being able to blend into an environment quickly is certainly an exceptional talent for a spy, but Lanci seemed to be a local in the blink of an eye.

"Tata, just be at ease. It was just a coincidence that we accidentally helped the Empire capture the Allied spy at the beginning. It won't happen again."

Lanqi showed a determined look and responded to her in his heart with certainty.

It was impossible for him to help the Empire again, and he would never become a rebel ninja.

This time is different from the Protoss Empire in the northern continent. He is very clear about his position and camp.

"That's good."

Talia let out a sigh of relief, a hint of laughter in her voice.

It is expected that even if Lanqi wanted to be successful in the empire, he did not have the ability to do so.

The empire is not that simple.

“It seems to be almost here.”

Lanqi sat in the compartment, looking out the window quietly.

Although there have been some twists and turns, overall it’s been good.

He obtained a new identity, the Allied spy Miss Unity also escaped, and the only one injured was Mr. Landry.

However, Lanci will carry out Landry's legacy and use his identity to change the empire, so that Landry can rest in peace.

The train gradually left the golden mountains and entered the endless green plains. On the distant horizon, the magnificent outline of the holy city became increasingly clear.

We are finally arriving at the legendary capital of the Cretan Empire - Brillda.

The city walls with spires reach up to the sky, the steel skyscrapers sparkle in the sun, the huge airships shuttle between the clouds, and the whole city is outlined with a magnificent outline by the canals surrounding it.

Mechanical ships and magical beasts made of brass travel back and forth on the water. Advanced mechanical engineering and modern magic engineering are perfectly integrated here, creating a miracle that is different from the kingdom's magic engineering.

The Empire's magic engineering has vigorously developed mechanical innovation on the basis of independence from magic devices. Its purpose is to point out a technological route without over-reliance on magic, so that one day machines can defeat magic.

Correspondingly, functions such as mechanics, gunners, and snipers almost all originated from the Kremer Empire.

Frey, who calls himself "back-row long-range output", once told Lanqi that he must go to the Krei Empire if he has the chance.

Only a gunsmith who is strong enough can control the high-end Imperial firearms with terrible recoil.

"Are you all right, sir?"

Just as Lanqi was staring at the increasingly clear city outline, a male voice came from the side.

The voice was steady and powerful.

Only then did Lanqi notice that standing next to the door of the compartment where he was was an officer who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a neat military appearance and a well-ironed uniform.

He is tall and straight, with a strong physique, and his golden brown hair is combed meticulously, with a little graying at the temples. He gives people a sense of majesty and calmness.

The officer had a short beard, a slightly pointed chin, a high nose bridge, and a pair of blue-gray eyes that looked a little weathered but full of sharp insight.

"I am fine."

Lanqi looked over with a smile and replied.

Compared to the usually introverted Ranch himself, Mr. Landry's personality seems to be more confident and extroverted.

"I am Burke von Arnold, commander of the Second Military Police Brigade of the Capital Garrison Command."

The officer did not enter the compartment, but stood at the door and introduced it.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, please take a seat."

Lanqi immediately saw the other party's rank from his military uniform, stood up and responded to the other party's courtesy, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit opposite him.

Although this officer is calm and polite to others, this will not affect the strength of the imperial soldiers in performing their duties.

If the Imperial Military Police discovered any signs of disloyalty or rebellion, they would take immediate and swift action.

If he went to work at the Monastery of St. Clement on the outskirts of Brillda, if there was a safety incident in the school, he would probably have to deal with Officer Burke of the Second Brigade of the Gendarmerie.

"I heard that you fought off the enemy. Are you injured?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke von Arnold sat down, clasped his hands on the table, and asked Lanch, who was sitting across the table, slowly.

He could see that the young man with black hair and blue eyes opposite him was a noble and quite powerful.

For most of them who have not yet entered the realm of transcendence, the sixth level is already a hegemon in the border areas, and it is rare even in the capital.

Fortunately, there was such a strong person on this train, otherwise it might have turned into a major safety accident.

"I wasn't injured. I only fought the enemy briefly."

Lanci replied modestly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Burke hesitated for a moment and took the investigation record from the soldier who followed him.

"But I heard from the passengers in other compartments that you had an overwhelming advantage when facing that powerful female enemy."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke looked at the paper and raised his head to ask.

"If I push her too far, I might get hurt."

Lanci smiled amiably.

“Is that so?”

Lieutenant Colonel Burke muttered to himself, then looked at the young man with black hair and blue eyes, sizing him up without disguising himself.

There was nothing wrong with this strong man's calmness, but the young man opposite him was even stronger than he had imagined, with some hidden mystery.

"According to the passenger information, your name is Landry Wasington. What is the purpose of your trip to the capital, Blildah?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke continued to ask questions and take notes.

"Because of work, I received a letter of appointment from Brillda."

Lanqi bent down and was about to take out the documents from the suitcase at his feet.

When he looked up again, Lieutenant Colonel Burke had already turned his head to look out the window.

It seems we have almost arrived at the station.

They are in no hurry for this moment.

Arriving in Brillda only meant that we could talk more comfortably.

As the train gradually slowed down, the bustling station came into view.

Upon hearing the news that the Brillda train had been attacked outside the city, crowds of people and reporters surrounded the platform.

They were talking a lot, and although the gendarmerie tried hard to maintain order, as expected, Brielda, as the political and economic center of the empire, even the train station was busy enough.

"Mr. Landry, I may take up some of your time, but don't worry, I will take you to your destination as soon as possible. Shall we talk while walking, or should we just sit here and finish our chat?"

Lieutenant Colonel Burke added.

"Let's talk while we walk."

Lanqi picked up the suitcase and stood up, suggesting to Lieutenant Colonel Burke.

"It's a wise choice. I believe it will be difficult to get rid of the wall of people and reporters on your own later."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke did not delay and started chatting with Lanqi as they walked.

Just as they were waiting at the door of the carriage, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, another group of imperial soldiers wearing different military uniforms were already waiting outside the door of the fourth carriage.

Strangely, there weren't as many people on the platform as we had just seen. It seemed as if they were actively avoiding these imperial soldiers.

Their numbers were far outnumbered by the military police of the Capital Garrison Command.

In other words, there is only one action team.

The leading officer had a deep hat brim that almost covered his forehead.

"Section Chief Nicholas, why are you here?"

The first to speak was Lieutenant Colonel Burke, who asked the officer code-named Red Falcon outside the door.

He obviously knew the other person.

Lanqi observed silently and found out after careful observation that only the fourth carriage had its door open at this moment. It was obvious that the passengers in other carriages were also not allowed to get off the train. The purpose of opening the doors was only to allow these officers to get on board.

Long before coming to the Krewe Empire, Lanci had done sufficient work. The information Nigel gave him included the detailed structure of the military system of the capital of the Krewe Empire.

From the attire of the officer standing at the door of the carriage, it can be seen that they are officers from another department independent of the Capital Garrison Command - the Imperial Special Operations Department, also known as the Imperial Magical Agents.

Among them are the Foreign Intelligence Department, which sends spies to lurk in other countries to spy on military and political intelligence; there is also the Sabotage Operations Department, which will officially appear on the battlefield to carry out assassinations, kidnappings, sabotage and other terrorist activities in enemy-occupied areas to disrupt the enemy's rear.

The Domestic Intelligence Department is more concerned with the internal affairs of the empire. It is responsible for monitoring domestic dissidents, uncovering anti-war elements and spies, and maintaining the stability of the regime. Finally, there is a secret laboratory that develops various silent special weapons, such as poisons, alchemical organisms, high-performance blasting devices, etc. The research institute is also located in the capital, Blierda.

The Director of the Special Operations Department reports directly to the Emperor and can mobilize resources from all parties without going through the military system.

Relatively speaking, the Imperial Special Operations Office has extremely high authority in the Empire.

"We suspect that this attack was likely a result of collusion between insiders and outsiders, with an insider involved."

Nikolai the Red Kestrel said as he stood on the platform.

He was much younger than Lieutenant Colonel Burke, with a handsome face with sharp features and neatly trimmed dark reddish brown hair. He had the neatness and competence that a soldier should have.

The Domestic Intelligence Division he led was responsible for monitoring dissidents in the capital area and maintaining regime stability.

"In my opinion, I need to focus on investigating the people involved in this accident. Both the deceased and the survivors may be suspects. To be cautious, I need to conduct another cross-investigation myself."

Nicholas the Red Kestrel had a faint smile on his face, but it gave people an unmistakable chill.

"no problem."

Lieutenant Colonel Burke had a dark and solemn expression. He often dealt with the Imperial Special Operations Department because of cases, and he trusted the judgment of Captain Nicholas Red Falcon.

Lieutenant Colonel Burke agreed readily, then turned to Lanch and patted him gently on the shoulder, as if to comfort him not to feel pressured.

Because the Imperial Special Operations Department's investigation will certainly be more rigorous, and the young man at the center of the incident will certainly be subject to more questioning and investigation.

“…”

Talia was already panicking in Ranchi's mind.

She thought Lanqi was a real troublemaker.

He had to take over Landry's identity, and then interpret the accident as Landry repelling the enemy! Although he had obtained a seemingly better identity, if he was targeted by the real lackeys of the empire, he would probably never have peace in the capital of Blierda, not to mention what he wanted to do.
