Chapter 1439 Stay out of the spotlight
The situation on Yang Yiyi's side has basically been settled. Unless there is any unexpected situation, Yang Yiyi's side will be calm for a few months.
Li Chengxi then turned his head and glanced at Viola.
She was preparing to lead the troops to the battle.
In the battle of Black Stone Fortress yesterday, the Avarus Demon Kingdom army was basically unscathed and only needed a short rest before continuing to move forward.
And this short rest actually means piling up and burning the corpses outside the city.
The defeated soldiers of the Subia Demon Kingdom army fled to the border. They could not be caught up, and there was no need to chase them.
Next, Viola should attack the border fortress of the Subia Demon Kingdom according to the plan.
But before that, there are still some things that need to be explained about what happened last night.
Viola told Li Chengxi that the punishment priest caught Isaac and several suspicious people in the forest last night.
Among them, Isaac was beheaded on the spot, and several suspicious people were most likely the guys of the Seven Apostles, who were taken away by the punishment priest for interrogation.
Seeing Viola say this, Li Chengxi remembered that there seemed to be such a thing as a disciplinary priest, but Li Chengxi didn't have any special impression.
He continued to ask the people of the Seven Apostles if they had said any intelligence, but Viola said regretfully that nothing was asked.
The people of the Seven Apostles had just been stuffed into the interrogation room, and their heads exploded soon after.
Yes, it was literally exploded.
The disciplinary priests searched them and confirmed that there was nothing on them that could stop them from speaking, but their heads exploded without warning.
Alde speculated that they might have signed some special magic contracts, which would be activated once they were interrogated, completely destroying their heads.
As for why they had to be destroyed so thoroughly, it was because if the brain was left behind, even if the person died, many clues could still be obtained.
There is a spell called talking to the dead. As long as the brain is still there, he will say whatever you ask.
The only small regret is that there are not many questions that can be asked, and the words expressed by the dead may also be very vague.
The heads of the Seven Apostles exploded, but there was still Isaac's head.
Orday used magic on him and got some information.
The coup in the Subiah Demon Kingdom was indeed related to the Seven Apostles, because the old king did not want to continue to be an enemy of Viola. He hoped to avoid war with Avarus as much as possible even by giving up territory.
As the only Demon Kingdom that still retains a large number of troops, the Subiah Demon Kingdom's move seems quite weak, but it is not incomprehensible. This is all because it was scared by Li Chengxi.
The old king clearly realized that it was very unwise to be an enemy of the Eternal Tyrant. Giving up land would at most bring him a bad name, but if he was an enemy of Avarus, the Subiah Demon Kingdom would most likely disappear under the tyrant's anger.
He knew which was more important.
But his son did not think so.
The Seven Apostles helped him complete the coup, and found Isaac, promising weapons and power to kill the tyrant, and then planned the Subiah Demon Kingdom to send troops.
According to the remaining information in Isaac's head, Orday marked several places that might be the bases of the Seven Apostles, and the disciplinary priests have set out to clean them up.
There may be more information in Isaac's head, but Orday is not a wizard who is good at necromancy, so she can only get so much information at present.
Isaac's head was cast with the spell of "organ preservation" to prevent the brain from rotting. Orday plans to return to the academic city if she has the opportunity in the future. She knows many necromancers who are good at this. When the bases of the Seven Apostles are cleared, more information should be dug out.
At the end, Orday also asked if she could give her the holy sword Ilanmona for research. She was very curious...
It doesn't matter if she gives it to her for research. Li Chengxi is more concerned about the follow-up actions of the Seven Apostles.
As an organization that has existed for thousands of years, the Seven Apostles should not have only this ability. Everyone knows that putting eggs in one basket is very unreliable. The action of the Seven Apostles must be "saturation rescue". Think about all the methods you can think of and pick out the ones with a high success rate to act together.
Therefore, Viola still needs to be extra careful in the next strategic action.
More specific information can only be obtained after the punishment priests come back. Li Chengxi then looked at Alyssa.
Due to the defeat of the third and fifth fleets, the fleet retreated to the space fortress Ilxia for rest and will not be dispatched for the time being.
So Li Chengxi originally just took a simple glance, but he found that the Swan had left the port again...
–------
Time went back a little.
"Report!"
"Come in, the door is not locked."
The automatic door opened left and right, and Alyssa walked into Lieutenant General Ken's office and stood up with her hands behind her back.
"Lieutenant General, you are looking for me?"
"Yes."
Lieutenant General Ken raised his head from the document, looked at Alyssa and said:
"How do you feel about the one-day tour of the confinement room?"
"Very bad."
"Yes, this shows that the effect of the confinement room has been achieved, and you should be more cautious in the future."
This is not a threat to Alyssa, but a warning.
The factions in the Rotating Water Federation are complicated. Although Alyssa has great prestige because of her grandfather James, it does not mean that she can do whatever she wants in the Rotating Water Federation.
Once the bottom line of certain forces is touched, they will not care about the identity of the so-called hero's granddaughter.
Alyssa also knew that she could join the army to fight this war, but try not to get involved in anything else.
This time it was mainly because the fleet commander was too incompetent, and Alyssa was a little over the top. It seemed that this matter was used in the factional struggle. In the future, you should consider the consequences before taking action.
Of course, Lieutenant General Ken didn't call Alyssa over to talk about these things. He handed Alyssa a document.
"Someone in the military department proposed that, in view of your achievements, they hope to transfer you to the Thirteenth Fleet as the captain of the frigate."
Alyssa took the document without even looking at it:
"Is it convenient for you to control me?"
Lieutenant General Ken shrugged, noncommittal.
No one dared to do anything to Alyssa on the Swan. After all, she was surrounded by people she could trust.
But if you go to an unfamiliar fleet as an airborne captain, the situation will be different.
"You agreed?"
"Of course not. I refuse to sign the transfer order. In my opinion, you have done a good job as the cruiser fleet commander. It is a pure waste of talent to go to some frigate."
"But if there is no proper reason for the order from the military..."
You may say this to relieve your anger, but if you do it, you are seeking death.
It is impossible for Lieutenant General Ken to disobey the military, otherwise the reckoning afterwards would be enough for him to drink.
However, Viola also has many connections in the military. If Lieutenant General Ken is having difficulty, Viola can find someone to solve the problem herself.
"So I now give you a suitable task."
Lieutenant General Ken pointed to the folder in Alyssa's hand.
I opened it and took a few glances:
"Do you want me to go out and avoid the limelight?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a serious battle plan, and the military has already agreed to it."
Lieutenant General Ken blinked his eyes, looking very innocent.
It’s really hard for an old man in his sixties to act cute.
