Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 226 The changing situation (2)
Kingdom of Iberia, County of Catalonia, City of Barcelona.
As the second largest city in the kingdom and the largest naval base and shipyard, it is impossible to evacuate personnel like other small villages and towns, so it is inevitable to defend it. However, in order to reduce personnel losses, the civilians in the city had already evacuated, leaving only the soldiers and city defenders.
Now the demon army has surrounded the city of Barcelona three levels inside and three outside, and the attacks are uninterrupted every day. Fortunately, the city's defenses were strong and the defenders were well-equipped, so the demon's attack did not have much effect.
Besides, this is a city by the sea. Even if it is tightly surrounded, it can still get supplies by sea. The devils don't have a navy, and the ships they build can't keep them at sea for long.
Generally speaking, if nothing else happens, there is no problem with the city's defense.
A carriage was driving on the road in the city. Because most of the residents had evacuated, the road was very empty except for some vehicles transporting supplies for the defenders and mobilizing personnel.
The carriage stopped in front of a shop.
The coachman opened the door and said, "Master, we're here."
A man wearing the attire of an honorary baron came down and said, "Just wait for me here."
"Okay sir."
The shopkeeper was already waiting at the door of the shop, bowed and said: "I salute you, Baron Uri, please come with me."
Walking into the yard of the shop, there were only a few servants basking in the sun, and the shop owner did not scold them.
Everyone who could be evacuated before the demon siege the city has left. The remaining people are either people like the shopkeepers who have all their wealth in the goods and cannot take them away, betting that the city is impregnable, or they are carefree servants like these who just want to pay for the high stakes. The salary remains.
Entering the house, the shopkeeper was about to ask Baron Uri what he was doing here at this time, when he saw the other party took out a emblem and said: "For the greatness of the kingdom."
The shopkeeper had an expression of disbelief on his face, but he also took out a similar emblem and said: "For the honor of His Majesty."
Baron Uri put away his emblem and said, "I'm here to get something."
The shopkeeper nodded: "Wait a moment."
He turned around and entered the inner room, and soon took out a small wooden box.
Baron Uri checked it and saw that the lock on it was intact, and said, "I took the things away."
"I'll take you out."
"Go to the Port Mage Tower." Baron Uri ordered, and then got on the carriage.
The shopkeeper returned to the shop as if nothing had happened. Naturally, his identity is not as simple as it seems. In fact, he is a member of the King's Secret Service. It is not surprising that such organizations exist in every country.
The Kingdom of Iberia was founded by the bloodline of the God of Courage, but most of the officials and citizens of Barcelona, as well as the navy, believed in the God of the Sea. It was only natural for the king to place spies here.
After the evil disaster broke out, in order to strengthen the city's defense, the king mobilized four infantry legions into the city to assist in the defense. It was at that time that the store owner's superior sent him this box.
His task is simple: he is responsible for keeping the box but not opening it. If someone comes with a token and can match the code, the box will be given to them, no matter who comes.
Baron Uri was the assistant to the naval logistics officer in Barcelona, and the shop owner did not expect that he was also a member of the King's Secret Service.
Baron Uri sat in the carriage, thinking about this mission all the time.
He joined the King's Secret Service early on and was responsible for providing intelligence on the fleet. Don't imagine that this kind of organization is so mysterious. In fact, most of them are ordinary people who just use their respective identities to pass back the news they hear. Just like Baron Uri, his sources were the large and small banquets organized by the fleet's senior officials, and what the wives of these senior officials revealed in bed.
The act of sneaking into a house to steal documents or items is what thieves do and has nothing to do with spies like them.
Before the demon siege, his superiors found him and asked him to find an opportunity to blow up the mage tower at the port. This order is not crazy, but has a reason.
The Mage Guild has a high-level mage tower in the noble district of Barcelona, and the fleet has its own high-level mage tower in the port, which is the target that Baron Uri wants to blow up.
Most of the residents of the kingdom's second largest city do not believe in the great God of Courage. If this situation is not unique, then the same goes for the naval fleet, which makes the king very unhappy.
In the past, in order to intercept the sea-crossing demon, the fleet had to ask for money from people. Now that most of it has been lost, its importance has naturally been greatly reduced. According to the plan of the leader of the secret agent organization, after Baron Uri blows up the port mage tower, the infantry regiment responsible for defense in the city will take over the defense and control the port.
The reason why the Mage Tower was blown up was because as long as it existed, no one else could take away control of the port. According to the plan, the king will immediately send people to build a new mage tower of his own at the original site when the time comes, so that the fleet will not be able to make any splash in the future.
This was an excellent opportunity. There were not many remaining naval forces, and the largest military force in Barcelona was the King's Infantry Corps.
The next demonic disaster will be hundreds of years later, so even if the demons are defeated, such a large fleet will no longer be maintained. If the control of the city and port changes hands, no one will pursue it too closely.
Although the demons were laying siege to the city and their daily attacks were fierce, they had not achieved any decent results in the past few months. In Baron Uri's view, even if there is no mage tower, it will not affect anything. When the time comes, the matter of blowing up the mage tower will be pushed to the devil.
For this reason, the secret agent organization sent him the "thorn bomb". One of these alchemical products from the ancient Netheril Magic Empire can blow up the mage tower. Three bombs were sent to him just to be on the safe side. This further convinced Baron Uri that this matter was definitely a plan by the kingdom's senior officials, otherwise how could he possibly obtain such a rare item.
However, it is not without flaws. The bomb was brought in by Baron Uri. After the mage tower was blown up, he must be traced. He could not admit it even if he wanted to admit it under the magic.
But what if you also die in the explosion?
Baron Uri had already had the consciousness to devote himself to the king. Not only was his death in the explosion unconfirmed, but the magic turbulence when the mage tower was destroyed also eliminated the possibility of using magic and magic to check the truth in the future.
The store owner who gave him the box knew nothing about it, and the person who gave him the box most likely didn't know what it was. Without evidence, it was impossible to use the lie detector technique on the top brass of the King's Agent organization.
More importantly, if the bombing of the mage tower was done by a demon, then he who died in the explosion would have died in battle. The superior promised to give the son who inherited the title a village as a fief according to his military merits.
Whether it is for the kingdom or for the family, his death is worth it.
