Chapter 531: Perception
Somewhere in the desert in the west of Addus.
In the early morning, the morning light overflowed from the distant horizon and shone onto the desolate earth. In the desert where people were wandering, a rider was moving forward. Krosi was riding his horse and strolling between the desolation and death.
After finally escaping from capture in Dosa City, Krosi immediately went to his secret base outside Dosa City, where he obtained a horse and rode non-stop towards Karnak. After a night of trekking and passing through a large area of heavily guarded areas, he finally approached his destination. At dawn, he arrived at the frontier position outside Karnak City.
"Who is it? Stop!"
Inside the trench at the frontline, the Savior soldiers on duty, after discovering that someone had crossed the spirit alert zone ahead, immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the target ahead. Krossy, who was being pointed at, immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly.
"Don't shoot! It's our own people!"
Looking at the position ahead, Croshi immediately dismounted and raised his hand to say yes. Then the Savior sent soldiers out of the trench and came to Croshi. After a brief search, he was brought to the officer in charge of the position. Here Croshi showed his identity. After confirmation, the officer did not delay and immediately let Croshi leave the position. Croshi immediately rode a new horse and continued to move towards Kanak.
As Cross walked on the position, the position and all the arrangements of the front line that he saw were reflected in Dorothy's eyes in the distance without missing a single detail.
"Wow... We have finally reached our position. We must be close to Kanak now..."
At the edge of the elf warning zone, there was a camel caravan camp. Various figures in northern black robes were busy in the camp. Several camels were crouching together to rest. There was a tent in the middle of the camp. Inside the tent, Dorothy, who seemed to have just gotten up, was wearing a robe and sitting on the carpet. She yawned and muttered something. After that, she drank some Adus special tea on the low table in front of her, and then took a bite of meat pie.
After learning that there were spies from Karnak lurking in Dosa City, Dorothy immediately realized that this was an opportunity to penetrate Karnak's inner circle. In order to find the location of the spies in Dosa City, Dorothy first contacted Adam and asked him to announce the news of the attack, which led to the spies in Dosa City to go out and pass the news to Karnak. Then she asked Nephnis to invite the Wild Soul Beard again to help her capture the ghost who sent the message.
In her previous analysis, Dorothy judged that the spies lurking in Dosa City would use ghost messengers to pass messages through the underworld, so Dorothy arranged Soulbeard to lurk in the underworld and ambush the ghosts who sent messages to the spies. Unlike the dream world, although the underworld is also one of the many worlds, the coordinate relationship between it and the present world is one-to-one, not confusing each other. This means that if Soulbeard and the ghost messenger both sneak into the underworld from Dosa, their coordinates in the underworld are close.
The soul whisker has the ability to smell the breath of souls from a long distance, and it can monitor a large area of the netherworld by itself. If it uses ordinary soul whiskers, many souls need to be sent to the netherworld at the same time to achieve the same effect, which may make the spies of the sender alert.
Generally, after entering the Netherworld, the soul will go down and sink into the Nether River, flowing down to the depths of the Netherworld with thousands of other souls. The messenger soul will not go down to the Nether River, but go horizontally to the projection areas of other real areas. However, in the Dosa Netherworld, the alert soul beacon only needs to smell a soul that is going away horizontally rather than vertically to confirm that it is the messenger soul, and then chase it and devour it. The strength of ordinary souls is far inferior to that of the Spirit of the Wilderness.
After losing the Soul Messenger, the spies in Dosa City were likely to set up a radio station to send telegrams in order to communicate with Karnak in time. Dorothy was able to use the ability of the Thunder Summoner in conjunction with Misaka Mikoto's superpower model to locate the position of the radio station by sensing electromagnetic waves, thereby confirming the hiding place of the group of spies. Afterwards, Dorothy used acting methods to leave a puppet mark on the largest spy without the other party noticing, hiding it in the numerous scars deliberately created on his back, and released him to Karnak to act as her own spy.
Without the support of information communication, Dorothy's maximum control distance for her puppet is about twenty feet, but the operating distance here refers to the distance that ensures the best control efficiency, not the influence distance.
After twenty years, the spiritual thread that Dorothy uses to link ordinary corpses or puppets without information communication support will begin to become thin, and it will become difficult to control commands. The control efficiency will begin to decline significantly. After about twenty-two years, it will be impossible to effectively control and complete large movements, but the thin spiritual thread can still obtain sensory information for Dorothy. After thirty years, sensory information will not be able to be transmitted. Positioning information above fifty years will also disappear. Dorothy will not be able to sense the position of the puppet unless it returns to within fifty years. After a hundred years, the spiritual thread that does not provide additional spiritual power to forcibly maintain it will be completely broken, and the puppet will completely be out of Dorothy's control. Unless they appear in front of Dorothy again, Dorothy cannot re-establish a link with them.
The range of the Karnak spirit warning zone is a radius of twenty-five feet. Although Dorothy cannot effectively control the deep warning zone to Karnak Crossi, she can still obtain his senses.
In this way, Dorothy ate breakfast while watching Croshie hurrying on the road in the distance. After leaving the front line, Croshie immediately sped up on his new horse. Finally, after running for a long time, he arrived in front of the city of Karnak.
Karnak is a small city located in the west of Adus, close to the border area. It is much smaller than Dossa. Karnak is located before the Qicha Mountains, at the intersection of mountains and plains. It is a city that was built for the mining industry. In peacetime, the ore transported from the Changdao Mountains will arrive in Karnak, and then transported from Karnak to Dossa. Many miners and their families live here, and there are also many service and mining industries gathered here.
Of course, since the Adus Civil War, the mining industry in Karnak has been disrupted. What Dorothy saw from Croshi's perspective was a heavily guarded and deserted city. Outside the city, Dorothy could not see many tall buildings in the city. At several intersections outside the city, soldiers from the Savior Party were seen guarding. There was not even a single soldier on the streets in the city. In the background behind the city, tall and continuous hillsides can be seen. That is the Qicha Mountains. The Valley of the Dead Eagles where Rahman is buried is in it, and it is not far from Karnak.
While drinking tea, Dorothy watched Cross enter the city of Karnak after completing the inspection. He was then taken all the way to a not-so-big building in the town. Judging from the appearance of the building, it seemed to be the original municipal center of Karnak.
After entering the municipal building, Krosi was subjected to another round of inspections, including information confirmation, mental evaluation, extraordinary detection, etc. During this process, Dorothy temporarily disconnected from Krosi, and reconnected after avoiding extraordinary detection.
After the inspection, Krosi was allowed to continue to move deeper into the municipal building. He passed through layers of security and came to a spacious office. Here, he saw a large military map hanging on the wall of the office. The map depicted the detailed situation of Kanak and the surrounding areas, including the layout of Kanak's city defense and frontier positions. Under the map, there were two figures standing at this time. One was a northern black officer wearing officer uniform, with a pure sun badge on his chest, a big beard, and a fierce expression. The other was a middle-aged white man from the mainland wearing a suit. He had a slightly fat body and two carefully groomed yellow beards.
"Commander Shihab, Mr. Morn... I'm sorry, the Dosa base was cleared and we lost the opportunity to monitor Adam. This is our fault."
