Chapter 511 More and more people are on the stage
"I also find this matter strange." Hodge said slowly. Before the attack, Hunter informed them of all the information. The coalition forces had spent a long time preparing to deal with Count Bazel.
The coalition forces had captured almost all the strongholds near Wolfburg, and Wolfburg had in fact been besieged. Whether it was the destruction of the coalition forces or Castel's attack, Basel theoretically could not obtain any intelligence.
But they did leave Wolfburg, the stronghold they had built for half a year.
"I will report this matter to Lord Alexi first. He should know more than us. You come with me." Hodge thought for a moment and pulled Hunter into Alexi's tent.
Alexei was originally in charge of the affairs of Castel Island, but this time he was pulled over by Hughes to command the front-line battle.
First, he was in charge of military affairs in Castel and had commanded the Crusaders to fight deep-sea wars, so he was familiar with the situation.
Second, Alexei graduated from the Royal Military Academy, and no one knew better than him how the imperial army would fight.
Well, the prince might know more than him, but this expedition was led by Castel after all.
As for Alexei's original job, Hughes had to take it over himself.
There is currently no one who can replace the manager who can dispatch the production capacity of the entire Castels factory.
After Hunter and Hodge reported the situation to Alexei, Alexei had some different ideas:
"Could it be a supernatural being? There are unexpectedly many [Investigators] in the North. The Church is trying to use supernatural powers to interfere in the local situation. Count Bazel should be a good breakthrough point."
Alexei thought about it and took another report.
"This is the record that Isaac left when he just returned to Castel. It mentioned that there is an extremely powerful extraordinary person beside Bazel, named..."
He looked up and glanced at Hodge. The slightly thin man was looking at his feet expressionlessly, as if he didn't care at all.
".Call her Lina. If she is still with Count Bazel, she might be able to help him gather intelligence."
Hodge has a sister named Lina. They lost contact after he was captured by the Candlelight Society. According to his description, Lina looks exactly like Lina in the North.
If this was the only information, Alexei would basically conclude that Lina was Hodge's sister. Perhaps for various reasons, she came into contact with the extraordinary after Hodge was captured, and then ended up here.
But there is still a shell of Lina on Castor Island.
The Fire Moths once recruited a member in the Rhine. Her name was Lina, and she looked exactly like Hodge's sister. Later, she was caught stealing secrets by Chloe and was directly turned into a shell.
That Lina was a mortal. No matter her body before or after being caught, she was still just a mortal after many tests.
So things became confusing. Which Lena is Hodge's sister, or neither of them, remains to be investigated.
Hodge was originally just an exiled prisoner, but in the subsequent Deep Sea War he joined the Crusaders and fought bravely, and even obtained the position of captain, making him qualified to know part of the truth about Castel.
He had seen the body of Lina, checked the detailed files of the incident, and communicated with Chloe's diary. He knew the whole matter from beginning to end.
"Don't worry, Castel will investigate it thoroughly." Alexei patted his shoulder and whispered to comfort him.
Hodge simply nodded and didn't say much. He was now a member of the expeditionary force and was no longer the worker in the Rhine factory. He had new beliefs and pursuits. His sister was certainly important, but if she chose to be an enemy of Castel... Well, Hodge didn't know what to choose then.
But Castel did not give up his military status, nor did he stop him from coming to the North to find out the truth. He did not want to betray this trust.
Hunter looked at the two people who had fallen into silence, and couldn't help but feel anxious: "Sir, if there really is a supernatural being investigating, no matter whose power it is, can't we do something to stop it?"
“This is a bit troublesome.”
Castel’s biggest shortcoming is that there are too few extraordinary people.
As a nascent force, it is actually quite good to have several extraordinary people pledge allegiance to it.
As the queen, Isabella has only a few knights to command.
But if we try to compete with the Vatican, that would not be enough.
There is no doubt that there are many extraordinary people in the Holy See. Extraordinary people have always been very valuable, and most lords cannot afford the materials needed to train an extraordinary person.
These things are basically all monopolized by the Holy See.
Castel does have a lot of Banshees, but firstly, if they leave Zeus too far away, they will continue to lose vitality and cannot stay for long, and secondly, they don’t actually have much detection ability on land.
They were suited to frontal combat, but Castel's expeditionary force had no shortage of that.
"I will apply to the Lord, but at present, the only person who may come is Richard. He alone can't make a difference to the situation in the North. We have more than ten troops sent out now, and we can't take care of them all."
Most of these people went to look for the resistance army, and there is no news yet. Now Count Bazel has left Wolfburg for some unknown reason and has lost his trace.
The waters in the North are becoming increasingly muddy.
"Although it looks troublesome, it's not a big problem." Alexi sneered. "What we need to do is very simple. We just need to push forward. No matter how muddy the water in the north is, we just need to pump out all the water, and the underwater things will be exposed."
Xius sat in his office, looking at the pile of documents on his desk with despair on his face.
These days he's back in Castres, taking over the island's affairs, and then he discovers what a workaholic Alexei really is.
"A great leader of the Fire Moths, a fearless warrior of Caster, and a tireless seeker of truth."
〖Okay, okay, stop now. My diary page is too small to write so many names.〗
"Dear Ms. Chloe, would you mind handling these documents?"
"I think my diary can also be considered as a kind of document. Do you let the clerk handle the documents himself?"
"Well, Nini's newspaper is actually a kind of document."
[How to deal with it?]
"Just check to see if there is any important information. These are all miscellaneous information, which are collected from various sources. They are not of high priority, but occasionally there will be important intelligence."
[It's just odd jobs.]
"That's not the case. Chloe, you are the most attentive. Maybe you can find something."
Hughes pushed a few documents over there with a wry smile, then fled into the sea of documents.
It takes a whole day to process this document.
"How is it, have you found any important news?" Xius said, stretching lazily.
"No, just boring stuff, like a coyote getting killed by a train and a fried fish shop closing down, that kind of thing."
"Oh, that's a pity. I quite like that fried fish shop." Xius said casually, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head.
"Wait, is that Yami Fried Fish restaurant closing? Did they say why?"
[Yes, it is said that Gwen claimed that she had some family matters and went back to deal with them. Only Bettys was left, and she was too busy to handle it, so she took a few days off.]
