The southern front of the Grand Inquisition was tense all night because of the accident in the central camp. It was not until the next morning when the dawn illuminated the river valley that the number of Iron Knights searching and patrolling on the high ground gradually returned to normal.
After a high-intensity struggle in the first half of the night and a short rest in the second half, Cheng Shijian finally got a chance, so he asked Sun Miao to take him back to the central military tent again.
To be honest, judging from the performance of the Central Army in dealing with the "attack on the camp" this time, Cheng Shi had no idea how such a powerful, disciplined and organized army could be defeated by the [War] Army.
Let alone the broken [War] Legion, even if it was a complete organization, how could they defeat the Grand Inquisition and the Tower of Reason that have ruled this continent for nearly a thousand years at a time when their benefactor has just lowered his gaze but has not yet arrived?
With these questions, Cheng Shi was ready to have a good talk with Kernlauer, but...
"Good" things take time, and Kinlauer is missing.
"......"
No one expected that the legion commander would leave his command center at this time. Even the knights guarding the surrounding camp did not know where he had gone.
It is true that Köhnlein had reasons to hide himself after the "decapitation operation", but the problem is that the war was about to break out. If you just hide yourself without telling your subordinates around you, how can you convey your military orders?
You don't want to give the Grand Inquisition Corps free rein across the entire front, do you?
Oh no, is the pot of defeat about to appear?
Cheng Shi was stunned. After knocking out his personal followers, supervising officers, messengers, and even the commander of a subordinate army... but still not getting any information about Kernlauer's whereabouts from them, he stood in the central army camp and looked at Sun Miao, both of them were stunned.
"You, the historical school, know history best. Tell me, what is going on here?"
Sun Miao raised her thumb and put it down again. Obviously, she also felt that this matter was a bit too outrageous. However, after thinking for a moment, she still gave a very accurate analysis.
"Either run away or be caught, there is probably no third option.
However, looking back at the history of this battle, Kernlauer had already paid the price for his defeat. He died on the battlefield at the hands of the War Legion's commander, Resta, so the possibility of his escape was unlikely.
As for being captured... In this trial, if anyone would capture Kernlauer and use it to achieve some purpose, I think it would be no one else except the Chosen One of [Corruption] who has not yet appeared."
Sun Miao paused and continued typing:
"I heard that the followers of Nothingness are recently guided by the oracle to hunt down the followers of Annihilation. As a follower of Annihilation, even if it is a second faith, will Lin Xi launch a counterattack against this provocation that is close to a war of extinction of faith?
Even if not, when he deduces that Chun might ask you for help, will he hide the NPC you are interested in to divert your attention and try to make some kind of deal with you to reduce an enemy?
I think these are the reasons why he did this.
As for the beast trainer you're at odds with...
To be honest, he was probably the one who hoped that Kernlal was okay the most, because what he wanted to find was like finding a needle in a haystack in this battle. He had to rely on Kernlal to recreate history so that he could find some clues.
So the answer is obvious, Lin Xi intervened in this trial, and he came for you."
Cheng Shi listened silently and felt that the other party's analysis was very accurate. It was indeed possible that Lin Xi was coming for him, but as for the real reason, before facing the other party head-on, Cheng Shi was not sure whether he was really practicing the will of [Annihilation].
But no matter what, carrying the belief of [annihilation] meant that he was destined not to be able to walk together with it, so after thinking for a moment, Cheng Shi decided... to retreat first.
Knowing there is a trap ahead and still insisting on moving forward is not courage, that is stupidity.
Cheng Shi never does such a thing as going to the tiger mountain. What he would rather do is to set a trap and wait for the tiger on the mountain to come down and step on it.
So he decisively gave up the idea of looking for Kinlauer and returned to the central military tent again, trying to find some clues in the residence of the supreme judge.
This time, he actually found a lot of things.
First of all, there is a batch of material transfer records. These documents are quite old. To be honest, it is simply illogical that such documents from decades ago can appear in the current military camp.
Even the most incompetent archivist probably wouldn't carry files from decades ago when on a business trip, right?
So being able to see these records here already explains some problems, but this is not the point. The point is that all these recorded materials are war materials, to put it simply, they are weapons and war consumables.
Moreover, the destination of these war supplies was not the border of the Grand Inquisition, nor the place where the rebellion broke out within the country, but... the Tower of Reason!
Sun Miao quickly flipped through the documents, and then typed frantically:
"Sure enough, the historical school once suspected that the civil war in the Tower of Reason might not be as simple as an academic dispute. After all, it is incredible that a group of scholars would use their fists instead of their brains to reason.
But since the history of that period has been missing, over time, everyone has tacitly accepted this.
But now it seems that the Gongli School played a significant role in this.”
It is true that these records are not all documents approved by Kühnlauer himself. A large part of them are records of "aiding the enemy" approved by previous leaders of the Universalist Party. This shows that the Universalist Party is really doing "real things" in order to achieve the vision of universal law.
