After that, Rhett first went to the alchemy workshop to collect his own alchemical potions. Whether it was healing potions, antidote potions, or the Jinlun Kingdom's special poison - Python's Kiss, he was equipped with a certain amount of them.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to visit Master Isad, because he remembered that in the previous simulation, the other party was ambushed by the commander of the Third Legion, so he planned to ask the other party if he felt anything unusual in the alchemy workshop during this period.
But when they arrived, they found that Isad was not in the alchemy workshop. Rhett guessed that he might be carrying out other secret missions, so he had to leave and find another opportunity to come back later.
The weather at this time had entered early winter. In just a few days, it had become much colder than when he first arrived at the cold wave defense line.
The fallen leaves on the streets had long since fallen away, with only a few evergreen leaves being blown off by the wind.
Rhett held on to the icy wind all the way to the prison door. Looking around, he saw that the layout inside was similar to that of the canyon defense line, and there was still an execution ground set up outside.
The bricks and stones on the ground of the execution ground were slightly reddish due to the long-spilled blood. They were originally white, hard minerals, but because the history of this place is much longer than the canyon defense line, the accumulated stains have eventually changed their color.
The cold wind blowing from the east was mixed with a faint smell of blood. Rhett took a light sniff and detected that the smell of Asian dragon blood was the strongest, and there was also a trace of shadow tiger blood, but because it was relatively restrained, it was actually not easy to smell.
What made Rhett feel a little strange was that although it was obvious that ordinary orcs had the most deaths, perhaps their bloodline was not naturally at an inferior level to the royal bloodline, so the smell seemed to be suppressed and did not smell strong.
There were hundreds of guillotines scattered across the execution ground, and they looked neatly arranged at a glance. At this moment, there were about dozens of people executing people at the same time, some were knights swinging giant axes, and some were magicians casting spells to destroy the lives of orcs.
Rhett glanced around inside and saw his youngest son, Thales, at the back of the execution ground. Beside him was a row of orcs with broken limbs. These orcs were generally strong, and none of them was weaker than Thales, a second-level magician.
Perhaps out of concern that Thales might be in danger, the executioners standing in front of, behind, and on both sides of Thales were mostly Earth Knights, who could provide timely support in case of emergencies.
At first, these people didn't understand why a mere second-level magician would be an executioner. But after hearing that Thales' father was a great magician, they all shut up. Even at the request of the warden, they were responsible for Thales' safety.
"This Night Owl man today is a fifth-level prisoner of war. He was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death and was tied up very tightly. He has been sent to you as you requested."
A sturdy knight with broad shoulders and bare upper body in the cold weather looked at Thales and said.
"Oh, Interrogator Sheri, thank you very much!" Thales' eyes lit up and he said with a smile. Then he turned around and looked at the long line of orc prisoners and felt a great sense of fulfillment.
The burly knight called Sheri shook his head and said, "You're welcome. Since Ambiru asked me to take care of you, this is nothing more than a piece of cake."
Then, he looked at Thales with strange eyes, "But speaking of which, you seem to be very keen on executing these prisoners? You especially like those with stronger strength. Do you have some kind of hobby?"
Thales scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Of course not. I just wanted to find something exciting to do. Since I can't go to the battlefield, I can only execute more high-level orc prisoners..."
"Well, that makes sense." Sheri raised his eyebrows and said, "There are many orcs here on the cold front. I hope you can keep this passion..."
At this moment, a shrill cry was heard. The fifth-level Night Owl man was tied to the ground and pressed on the guillotine. Suddenly, his body shook violently.
Rhett observed this scene from a distance and saw Thales immediately turn around and shoot a shadow arrow at the Night Owl Man who was making his last struggle. The dark arrow flew through and shot into the Night Owl Man's head.
The next moment, a curtain of light appeared in front of his eyes.
[Family members kill enemies at level 3, destiny value +3]
Seeing this, Rhett's heart finally settled down. After thinking about it, he did not go to the execution ground, because now it seemed completely unnecessary to ask the people around him to give more prisoners to Thales.
After all, he had already learned that there were countless prisoners to be executed behind Thales, and he probably didn't need anyone to help him, as he couldn't kill them all by himself.
Then, Rhett called up his system panel again and took a look at the [Destiny Value: 4829] column. Thinking back to when he came to this cold current defense line, his destiny value increased by several hundred in just a few days. It could be said that he was very satisfied.
If this trend continues, it will probably exceed 10,000 in a few months...
At the execution ground, seeing Thales' quick reaction and quick execution of the fifth-level Night Owl, Sheri praised him:
"Yes, I can see that you have had solid training in spellcasting. I feel relieved now."
Taylors smiled but didn't say anything. He listened quietly to Sheri's instructions and then left. Looking at her back, he sighed in his heart: "When will this kind of life end? I hope my father can give me another good novel after I go back.
Well, I have worked so hard, father... should agree to this insignificant request, right?"
As he sighed, he glanced around casually and suddenly saw a familiar figure walking away on the street outside the execution ground fence. The figure quickly turned the corner and disappeared.
"Huh? That looks like my father? Did he just come here?"
Thales blinked, and just as his thoughts were about to diffuse, the orcs behind him were rushed up and pressed on the guillotine.
Helplessly, he could only stop thinking about it and focus on his work. But every time he executed an orc, he would habitually glance outside to see if his father was outside...
On the other side, after leaving, Rhett walked around the military camp to familiarize himself with the structure and distribution, and then had a simple meal. It was not until nightfall that he returned to the Frost Fortress, mainly to inquire about the progress of the support from other legions that he had applied for half a day ago.
As a result, Deputy Commander Bomir smiled and told Leiter: "I have communicated with the commander of the Fourth Legion. They are very happy to join forces with you because the intelligence you reported to me shows that the dead team is very likely from the Fourth Legion. They worked hard to build an elite scout team, but they died like this. After learning about the situation, they were quite angry, so they agreed to your request without hesitation."
"That's great!" Lei Te's eyes lit up and asked, "Where are they now? I'll go find them and join them. We can't delay the battle. The orcs may still be wreaking havoc everywhere."
"Well, well... because they didn't contact you right away, they have already set off for the Sixth Legion's base. When they left, they told me to find them and join up as soon as I could after I contacted you." Bomir said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Well, it was indeed my mistake. I shouldn't have wandered around in the camp." Rhett said ashamedly.
Leiter asked with interest, "Other duties? For example?"
"I can't tell you this. In fact, it's against the rules to tell you these things." Bomir smiled and shook his head.
"Well, you're right. It's important to keep it secret." Lei Te raised his eyebrows and said, "In that case, I should go back. See you next time, Commander Bomir."
"See you next time. I hope to hear about your victory."
"I'll try my best..." Rhett turned around, waved his hand, and then left the Frost Fortress.
As Ledros watched Rhett's gradually disappearing back, his expression calmed down.
He just stood there, motionless, and the hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
A few seconds later, a sudden voice broke the atmosphere.
"I have been monitoring him since he arrived at the cold current defense line, but I have not found any trace of the so-called mysterious man..."
Ledros's face became serious. He saluted solemnly to the air in front of him and said respectfully, "Captain Ancus, you are here!"
"Um."
The air gradually twisted, and a gust of majestic wind blew by, revealing the figure of a majestic middle-aged man in light armor. He nodded at Ledros, then turned his gaze towards the stairs.
The next moment, Hogus appeared and walked down from upstairs, and behind him followed a middle-aged man with a heroic face - King Milan.
King Milan walked slowly to the center of the hall, faced the majestic middle-aged man in light armor, and said slowly:
"Ankus, are you sure you didn't sense any abnormal clues?"
Ankus, the commander-in-chief of the cold current defense line, had a shallow scar on his face, which made him look a little old. He replied:
"I'm sure that unless that person has fully comprehended the invisibility mystery of the dark system, it is absolutely impossible for him to slip the so-called note to Leiter under my nose. What's more, I have never seen Leiter take out the note..."
Hogus listened quietly at the side and could not help but speak: "If that's the case, it means that the man may really be a person who has fully comprehended the mystery of 'invisibility', or... Leiter himself is a strong man in the holy realm? His rapid growth in strength is actually exposing his original abilities step by step?"
Hearing his son's guess, King Milan frowned slightly, looked at him, and began to think about it, but finally shook his head and said: "This sounds a bit far-fetched, second only to his ability to predict the future."
Ankus also fell silent, but he didn't think that the other party could predict the future. Long-term experience of leading troops in battles made his thinking more rational. Moreover, he was already a strong man in the Holy Land, and he had a very thorough understanding of the world. He thought he had more information than ordinary people, so he was only willing to analyze the reason why Lei Te got the clue within his own framework...
"Should we believe the intelligence this time?" Hogus asked, "Could Leiter be a spy for the orcs? I think we need to consider this possibility. Although the intelligence he provided in the previous times was true, the results we gained in the previous battles are somewhat insignificant compared to the impact that this intelligence may eventually have."
"You must believe it." Ankus said in an unquestionable tone.
"Oh? Tell me what you think." King Milan said very calmly.
"Because I have been secretly monitoring Leiter these past few days. Although I have not seen the so-called mysterious man show up and pass on information to him, I have also observed Leiter's words and deeds. His attack on the orcs is absolutely from the heart. Various details show that he will not go along with the orcs." Ankus said firmly: "I am absolutely not wrong about this. His source of information may have other reasons."
King Milan was silent for a moment before he said, "Since you have such an opinion of him, let's continue to carry out the plan according to the intelligence he provided..."
"Also, the task of contacting other sanctuaries is also given to you. From now on, I will secretly monitor Leiter."
Ankus nodded, but did not comment on this. Instead, he asked, "How many sanctuaries do you think would be appropriate to ask for assistance?"
"...Ten, and try to find the king and other candidates the king can trust. We don't know if there is a second traitor to the Sanctuary."
"Understood. Then I will go find King Reem first."
After Ankus finished speaking, his entire body disappeared into the air and turned into a wisp of wind that floated out of the window.
The hall fell into silence again. Bomir looked at the king and the prince in front of him, not daring to speak casually. Finally, he found an excuse to inspect the training ground and left the hall.
A few minutes later, Hogus asked from the side, "Has Commander Ankus left?"
King Milan nodded and said nothing.
Hogus pondered for a moment and said, "Father, do you have any doubts about Leiter?"
“Almost none.”
"Huh? Why? You just said that..."
"That's because nothing is absolute in the world, and we still need to do the necessary investigation." King Milan said calmly: "In fact, after listening to the information you told me, I thought about it carefully. The light-based Saint Domain expert Sherman is famous for his insight into the movements of the orcs. But if there are orcs willing to sacrifice and cooperate, it would be too easy for him to achieve his fame."
"Moreover, in recent years, Sherman has been appearing less and less frequently in the Huilu Kingdom, often disappearing for several months at a time. Combined with the intelligence, his actions are indeed full of doubts."
