Heart of Empire Chapter 521: Trap

He conquered Blackwood City, and the casualties and time spent were much better than what Palan had expected, but he was still not half happy.

Rather than saying that Heimu City was brought down by him, it is better to say that he gave it up on purpose.

Ekla's forces, as well as the Church of the Damned behind him, obviously did not want to fight with his Sixth Legion here.

Under such circumstances, what if they capture Blackwood City? Ekla was not caught, so he must have been taken away alive; the Church of the Cursed must have other plots, but now Palan doesn't even know what the Church of the Cursed is going to do, let alone foil their plot.

Paying the price of a thousand people, laying down a Blackwood City with little strategic value...

Palan reassured himself that it was still useful. At the very least, it can be announced to the outside world that the rebellion in Fir Collar has been quelled, and it is even cheeky to publicize that Ekla has been killed-of course, it is up to the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whether to declare this to the outside world or not. Go ahead and weigh the pros and cons.

As for how to deal with the affairs of Ekla and the Church of the Damned, it depends on the strength of their own intelligence organization. After all, if the army wants to act, it must have the support of intelligence, and it is impossible to mess around like a blind man touching an elephant.

Thinking of the intelligence organization, Palan thought of one thing and invited him here: Blackwood City has been captured, why hasn't he seen Firmino?

Just as he was thinking, a petite female drow approached him.

This is Firmino's subordinate, a secret agent from the Black Hand Academy.

"Hi General Palan, the tribulation leader asked me to wait for you here, I am Xiacao."

The so-called tribulation is none other than Firmino. Those who come out of the Black Hand Academy usually have a code name on their heads.

"Hello." Palan greeted casually, and continued to ask: "Where is your leader?"

"The tribulation leader tracked down some clues yesterday morning, and has already personally followed up. Most of the black-handed spies in the fir collar have taken action. Only my team has just finished its mission and is currently on standby. , accept your dispatch. We can be under your direct leadership and provide support for your army.”

"Damn..." Paran had a headache.

The female drow spy in front of me is indeed a good helper. Among other things, these spies were far more reliable than his best scouts in terms of inquiring about news.

But this is just icing on the cake. What Palan needs most now is not some powerful scouts, but genuine intelligence.

He wanted to know, where did Ikela go? What the **** is the **** church doing?

Unable to figure this out, there is always a breathless sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Of course, in the absence of definite information, Palan couldn't take any action. What's more, at the moment, he is not without trouble.

On the one hand, after the war just ended, he still needed to deal with the bad situation of Firland; on the other hand, the coalition forces of Pudry and the Kingdom of Victoria coming from the southwest were also a headache.

He doesn't want to fight the Holy Alliance in Firland at all. This battle is meaningless no matter whether he wins or loses.

…

When Palan took down Blackwood City and was busy appeasing the people in the city, tracking down the rebels who followed Ekla, and cleaning up the mess, Firmino was watching a big show.

Fifteen thousand troops bearing the banner of the Holy Alliance are about to fall into a terrifying trap.

It goes like this.

Before Palan's main force arrived at the base of Blackwood City, Firmino, who was lurking in the city, felt that something was wrong. He searched and found that Ekla and Archmage Death Eye, whom he had been monitoring, had disappeared from Blackwood City at some point.

He didn't have time to pass on the news to Palan, so he hurriedly followed the clues, leaving only a few men behind.

This clue, once followed, followed for a day.

He found a very vicious trap in the southwest of Fir Territory, near the border.

The Church of the Damned slaughtered at least 2,000 people in the vicinity. They used the living souls and corpses to form a huge curse circle on the spot.

Firmino is not a mage, but to act as a secret agent, he must at least have a certain knowledge of magic.

He couldn't recognize the effect of this curse circle, but from the power fluctuations, the size of the circle, and the entire circle required 30 mid-to-high-level spellcasters, plus a level 16 ** The teacher presides over it together... These circumstances combined, so that he can roughly judge that the range of effect of this magic circle should be very large.

At the beginning, he felt that this might be prepared for Palan's army. However, after calculating the location, he found that the magic circle set up by the Church of the Cursed seemed...as if it was on the only way for the army of the Holy Alliance to enter the fir collar.

Firmino was a little confused-they were going directly to the rhythm of the Holy Alliance. But the question, why?

It stands to reason that it should be the most beneficial thing for Ekla and the Church of the Damned to let the army of the Holy Alliance go to fight with Palan's army?

Thinking of this, Firmino turned his mind and considered one more thing. The traces of the transformation of the demons left by the Church of the Curse in Blackwood City, as well as those killed demons, are also evidence in themselves. Let the army of the Holy Alliance pass by and confront the Sixth Army. Maybe they won't fight, and the two armies may cooperate to wipe out the Church of the Damned at the same time.

But... Firmino still couldn't figure it out, he still felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

He couldn't make up his mind on what to do with this information.

Informed Palan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the kingdom first, and he was waiting for further instructions from above.

And when the Holy Alliance was only half a day away from stepping into the hidden magic circle trap, he finally received an instruction from the upper echelons of the kingdom - to warn the army of the Holy Alliance.

Is there still time? Firmino deeply doubts this point~IndoMTL.com~ He doesn't know what the upper echelon of the kingdom thinks about this matter, but what he has to do is just follow orders.

Therefore, he sent two of his subordinates to the army of the Holy Alliance in the name of messengers from the Kingdom of Schindler, and informed the past of the magic circle trap that cursed the church.

It was too late to work overtime yesterday, and I went home and lay down on the bed to rest for a while before getting up to write, but... I was woken up by the alarm clock that went to work early in the morning.

What can I do? I am also very desperate!

Wait for another chapter...
