Lin Xingchen led his team to constantly patrol around the border of the empire. The empire's defenses were very tight, and even at night, many important places had people on guard.
However, he was not in a hurry for the time being. Although he had not received any news from the front battlefield, he trusted Albert and believed that he would buy enough time for himself.
This kind of days lasted for five full days before he entered the empire from the back. Once inside, he did not wreak havoc as soon as he arrived, but kept looking for a suitable place to start.
They searched and searched until they got close to the imperial capital and finally found a good opportunity. During the day, everyone hid in the space camouflage magic cast by Lin Xingchen, which was a magic similar to invisibility, but the magic was fixed and could not be moved.
He arranged the tasks with several leaders: "Everyone, we are going to play a big game this time. As long as we play well, we will definitely be of great help to the front line. However, the probability of danger we may encounter this time is also very high. You can stand up now if you quit!"
Seeing everyone's fearless eyes, Lin Xingchen nodded: "Everyone eat and drink enough, and then it's time for us to fight before the sun sets."
As soon as the set time arrived, Lin Xingchen opened his eyes, woke up everyone one by one and everyone started to proceed according to the plan. No matter which carriage came out of Lin Xingchen's space magic, everyone got into the carriage skillfully.
Just like the carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier, once the ship is full, it will take off at an incredibly fast speed.
A thousand men led by Lin Xingchen were divided into three groups and headed straight for the imperial capital under the afterglow. The people on the vehicles had already prepared magic. Every time they flew over some conspicuous buildings, they would cast magic to destroy them.
As soon as they moved, the empire's guardian magician counterattacked. First, they opened the magic shield to cover the palace tightly, and then flew out nine level nine magicians.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xingchen knew that he had fallen into a trap, otherwise according to the news reported, several of the magicians would not have come to the imperial capital at all.
Everyone fled quickly on the magic butterflies, but unfortunately some people did not get on the bus in time. Seeing that people in three cars did not get on, Lin Xingchen gritted his teeth and was about to turn around to rescue them, but a magician on the opposite side cast a ninth-level magic at them.
If there is no way to rescue, the only thing they can do is to escape while constantly summoning magic butterflies along the way, hoping that the other two groups can discover the trap as soon as possible.
The scheduled rendezvous point could no longer be reached, as there were two magicians following behind, so we could only head towards a more distant point.
After shaking off the pursuers, everyone returned to the base and took inventory. They found that they had lost six vehicles, which meant the loss of 120 magicians. Whether they were killed in battle or captured, it was not a good thing.
Just as they were on high alert, the other two groups of people also came back. They were also in a miserable state and suffered even greater losses. Seeing this situation, Lin Xingchen's face turned very ugly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, not many people know about our plan this time, but the empire is obviously prepared, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. I think there is a spy among us!" Lin Xingchen expressed his guess with a dark face.
"My lord, I think so too. Otherwise, they would know as soon as we take action here, and the trap was set where we wanted to attack. If it was just one route, it could be said to be an accident, but it would be hard to explain that we were attacked on all three routes and still say it was an accident." The speaker was one of the leaders of the magic legion.
"What do you mean? If I hadn't changed some small details in time this time, we might not have had a chance to escape at all." Lin Xingchen was actually very annoyed in his heart. If his cautiousness was discovered, it would be his own problem, but if his information was betrayed, it would be very difficult to accept.
"I have a suggestion. We should find the spy first. I don't know if you agree with me. After all, what follows is related to our life and death. I think it is better for everyone to be careful." It is not easy to find a spy in a team of 3,000 people, but since Lin Xingchen dared to say it in person, he must be confident.
"My Lord, I agree!"
"I agree that we should find the spy first."
"I agree!"
As the three leaders agreed, the others also realized that if they didn't find the spy, it might not be easy for everyone.
"Let's quickly change positions before we find the spy. Let's set off now, immediately, and at once. At his command, everyone hurriedly got on the bus."
After arriving at the new base, everyone had a good sleep first. The spy probably did not escape or deliberately create unrest during the transfer, which shows that he felt his identity was hidden well.
After breakfast, the less than two thousand magicians who were left gathered in three layers inside and outside.
"It's difficult to find the spy, but there is a way. We who study magic care most about souls and magic power. It just so happens that I have learned a very interesting magic circle in the past two years, called the Blood Oath Soul Array."
"It was derived from Soul Blood Oath, but several of its functions are almost perfect for our situation!"
"I hope you won't disturb me while I'm carving the magic circle. Once I'm done we can find the empire's spy."
This magic circle is not something Lin Xingchen said to deceive people, but there really is such a magic circle. The only difference is that the source of this magic circle is the demon servant Darcy.
Darcy taught Lin Xingchen the demon language and writing, and then Darcy found many demon books. This blood oath soul formation is a new way of playing that combines the soul blood oath with the fairest promise.
After finishing the carving of the magic circle with sweat all over his forehead, Lin Xingchen pointed at the magic circle on the base and said, "Everyone, I will demonstrate it now. If you don't want to, then I will treat him as an imperial spy."
"After we drip blood into this magic circle, if the person is not lying, then there will be no change. But if someone is lying, then the magic circle will vibrate violently. I want to verify whether this magic circle is real or not." He took out a knife and cut his finger.
The blood dripped into the array base and was quickly absorbed. Lin Xingchen said casually: "I am actually a human!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire magic array base shook violently. Did you see that? This is what happens after lying.
Once again dripping his own blood, Lin Xingchen looked at the magic circle and said, "I have never betrayed my friends. This time, the Empire's trap was not revealed by me."
The magic circle remained motionless and unchanged. "In order to prove our innocence, everyone must say a sentence. No nonsense is allowed. Everyone, come forward one by one."
First the three leaders, then the team leaders, and then each team member's blood was dropped for identification.
Until the last few people, one of the team leaders showed an obviously anxious expression. Lin Xingchen saw everything and silently prepared his own methods.
The team leader looked at him and laughed dryly: "Why are all the adults looking at me? We have trained together for so many years, so you won't doubt me, right?"
"John, if you want everyone to stop doubting, just come and give it a try!" said the leader of the first battalion with a cold face.
"We've been through life and death together, so you're doubting me like this, isn't that too much? This is totally different from what you said at the beginning that you wouldn't target immigrants like us!"
"I never target anyone unless he has broken the law. Now all of us who are still alive have tried, except you. If you want to prove your innocence, then come and try it!" Lin Xingchen had already taken out the magic wand with his hands behind his back.
"It's fine if you don't trust me, but I don't want to stay here anymore. In other places, as a sixth-level magician, I'm the boss. But here you practice like a dog every day, so I won't play with you anymore." As he said that, he waved the magic wand in his hand and a huge explosion of flames came towards everyone.
Lin Xingchen, who had already prepared for it, naturally would not let him escape. He instantly moved and the magic in his outstretched hand hit him hard on the back of the head, knocking the guy unconscious.
When this guy woke up again, he found himself trapped like a dead pig. After discovering that he was caught, he became very excited and kept cursing Lin Xingchen and those leaders.
"Do you want me to tell you the truth or do you want me to do it? I can tell you that if you tell the truth, I will give you a chance to live, but if you let me do it, you probably won't live to see tomorrow's sunrise. You know I always keep my word!" Lin Xingchen didn't intend to talk nonsense with him and went straight to the point.
"If I tell you, will you really let me live?"
"When have I ever failed to fulfill my words? Are you a spy for the empire? Did you tell the empire about our plan? How did you transmit the information?" After asking three questions in a row, everyone stared at him intently.
"I was sent by the empire, and it was indeed me who told the empire about this plan." As soon as he finished speaking, the leader next to him exploded, stepped on his chest and cursed him loudly.
After kicking the leader's big foot away, Lin Xingchen looked at the spy and said with a smile: "I said that as long as you tell the truth, I will let you go. Tell me how you two contacted each other?"
"I have a special ring here. Just write down your purpose and put it in the ring and they will know it." The team leader had to compromise between life and death.
"Very good, I need to test its authenticity now. As long as I can confirm that what you said is true, I will let you go." Lin Xingchen's mind was working frantically, and a trap plan soon emerged.
Under his command, everyone began to set traps frantically, and this time they must trick the empire.
