Chapter 599: Sending a Message
West of Adus, Dosa.
At noon, in a secret and spacious room somewhere in Dossa, Nefernis, dressed in a traditional Adusi robe, was sitting in the room, leaning forward, holding a handful of white animal bone powder in her hand and slowly releasing it. The bone powder fell from Nefernis's hand and landed on the ground. As Nefernis' arm moved in the air, the fallen bone powder gradually drew a magic circle on the ground.
After a while, a pale magic circle with the closed eyes symbol as the core appeared on the ground. After drawing the magic circle, Nephnis put the unused bone powder in her hand back into the jar beside her, then took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to chant the spell.
Mysterious incantations were whispered and echoed in the space. Amid the sound of the incantations, a distorted shadow gradually emerged in the center of the magic circle. When the shadow became stable and clear, it showed the translucent bobcat-like spirit that Nephthys was familiar with. The bobcat spirit licked its paws and floated to the edge of the magic circle. It puffed out its chest, raised its little head, and looked proudly at Nephthys in front of it. Upon seeing this, Nephthys immediately took out two iron coins and respectfully placed them in front of the bobcat spirit.
Seeing the iron coin, the mountain cat spirit's eyes lit up, and it floated around Nefernis in a circle as if cheering. Then it returned to the iron coin, immediately lowered its head, and licked the iron coin with its tongue. It licked and licked for a long time before it raised its head. It continued to look at Nefernis with a proud attitude, and nodded with satisfaction. Upon seeing this, Nefernis immediately came forward and spoke to the mountain cat spirit in the silent language of the soul that only those with extraordinary "silence" can master.
After hearing Nefernis's story, the mountain cat spirit floated in the air for a while, then nodded, then turned around and rushed down, penetrating the ground and seemed to enter the earth.
After seeing the disappearance of the mountain cat spirit, Nephnis stood up silently. She slowly walked to the window of the room, looking out at the city under the sun, and looking outside the city, where the Adus revolutionary army was stationed.
…
On the other side, outside the city of Dosa, many soldiers were standing in neat rows on a wide open space. On the high platform in front of the soldiers' array, Commander Adam was still giving a speech. Hearing that they might face the terrifying undead in the rumors, every soldier in the array couldn't help but show a look of nervousness and fear in their eyes.
No matter how weak Adam said the undead were and that they could defeat them as long as they had courage, the shadows in the soldiers' hearts were not so easily eliminated by those horrible rumors. Everyone in the team felt a little timid about the upcoming exploratory attack.
On the platform, Adam was making the final mobilization loudly, and just when he was about to announce that everyone was to set off together, an officer suddenly ran up from the side of the platform and whispered something in Adam's ear. After hearing the officer's words, Adam's face changed, and then after a brief pause, he shouted to the many soldiers in front of him.
"Everyone, due to some other circumstances, our action needs to be temporarily delayed and will continue until tomorrow morning!" Adam announced to the soldiers in front of him. After hearing Adam's words, many soldiers who were worried about the exploratory attack couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The tension in their hearts was temporarily relieved. At the same time, many people also speculated what had happened that caused the planned exploratory attack to be suddenly cancelled.
Soon after, the queue of soldiers that had terminated the action was disbanded, and the soldiers and officers dispersed and returned to the barracks. One of the junior officers with dark skin, northern black appearance and a beard glanced at the podium while retreating. Then he saw Commander Adam discussing something with the consultant Ney who had just arrived in Dosa the day before. After taking a look, the junior officer pressed down the officer's hat on his head, lowered his head, and walked silently into the distance among the crowd.
The officer did not go to the military camp directly, but left the crowd at the right time and went towards the city of Dosa. After entering the city of Dosa, he went directly to a hotel. When he came out not long after, his military uniform had been replaced by an ordinary northern black men's robe.
Wearing a long robe, the officer man began to shuttle through the city of Dosa, sometimes crossing the streets, sometimes walking through the alleys, constantly turning around and looking back. After twists and turns, he came to the slum area in Dosa with low houses and dirty environment. Here he turned into an empty alley and walked all the way to the deepest part of the alley.
Here, the officer turned around and faced a small wooden door on the side of the alley. After he knocked on the door rhythmically, there was a series of unlocking sounds from behind the small wooden door. After the unlocking sounds ended, the wooden door was opened, and then a young man wearing a Beiwu robe, but with the face of a white man from the main continent, appeared. After he glanced at the officer, he made way for the door leading to the house.
After seeing the wooden door open, the officer immediately walked into the house. The house was covered with carpets and some simple furniture. On the carpet sat two other figures wearing robes. After seeing the officer enter the house, the man who opened the door immediately closed the door. After locking it several times in a row, he turned and looked at the officer.
"What other information do you have? Why are you asking you to come here at this time..."
The white man in blue asked the officer, and the officer sat down on the carpet in the room, took a sip of tea and then spoke.
"Adan has made a new move. I don't know if he listened to the advice of the new consultant. He decided to organize troops to conduct a test attack on the Undead Alert Zone. Let the soldiers kill a few Undead to give them courage and restore their morale."
"A tentative attack..." After listening to the officer's words, the young man thought for a while and then continued to speak.
"Hmph... It seems that the undead have dealt a heavy blow to Adam's soldiers. Adam needs to do something like this to boost morale... When exactly will they start the action?"
"Tomorrow morning. It was originally scheduled for this morning, but I don't know what happened. Adam got wind of the news and changed the time directly, postponing it by one day. You should use your ceremony now, Lord Shihab, and let him get ready." The officer then spoke to the young man. Listening to the officer's words, the young man nodded thoughtfully in response.
"If we set up an ambush in advance and eat up this wave of exploratory troops, not only will Adam's plan to boost morale fail, but the morale of the entire Dosa will probably suffer an even more severe blow... I know, I will inform Kanak of this information immediately. You should also try your best to find out what caused Adam to suddenly postpone the attack."
"I know this without you telling me."
Just like that, after briefly explaining the intelligence he had obtained, the officer quickly left from another secret door in the house. After sending the officer away, the man in blue returned to the house, pulled back the carpet on the floor, revealing a trapdoor. After opening the trapdoor, a staircase leading to the basement appeared in front of him.
