Chris nodded. Although Rick's approach was simple and his ideas were simple, he could think of so many things at his age, and using such a small thing to make his new deputy commander come into contact with the people of the Legion, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

Yu Lu was about to speak again, suddenly Wei Mang's voice came from outside the door: "Report to the young master, something has happened." Rick and the three girls frowned almost at the same time. It's so late, what urgent things should be reported to the place where they live? Moreover, Rick and Wei Mang were still together not long ago.

After thinking a little, Rick had no choice but to open the door, and had no intention of letting Wei Mang in. He blocked the door and asked: ‘Tell me, what’s the matter?’

Wei Mang took a deep breath and said calmly: "I think the Shenfeng Fortress will face a great battle soon. A friend of mine just sent me a message saying that a mysterious legion was moving towards the fortress a hundred kilometers north of Xiangcheng City, and their purpose should be to capture the Shenfeng Fortress."

Rick scratched his head and said, "What's wrong with this? According to what you introduced before, isn't it possible for the Shenfeng Fortress to encounter similar things every year in the beginning of spring? The four northern countries had previously set off their troops on the border, so aren't they much relaxed now?"

Wei Mang nodded and said, "It's true, but this time may be a little different. I just went to see the commander-in-chief. He told me that recently there seemed to be people from the legion deliberately provoking conflicts with ordinary people in the city. The incident tonight also had a similar purpose, so the commander-in-chief asked me to find you to discuss countermeasures urgently."

Rick sighed, but couldn't think of any way to refuse. He had to follow Wei Mang and walk towards the Legion Command, but he wondered why Wei Mang would go to the commander first after receiving this news, and why would the commander ask him to discuss countermeasures?

The nights of the Shenfeng Fortress seem to be pitch black forever. Even on nights with moons, the Shenfeng Fortress will appear to have shadows everywhere because of the strange structures in the fortress. It is said that a merchant who had just arrived at the Shenfeng Fortress once went to the toilet in the middle of the night because he was drunk and then got lost in a small courtyard where he lived, because it seemed that any road was exactly the same.

The Shenfeng Fortress at night seemed to be blowing cold wind forever. Rick was pulled out of the hot quilt that Wei Mang was about to enter. In fact, he had a lot of fire that could not be described. Of course, this time was not the time for an attack. After all, neither Wei Mang nor Sha Tuman were fools who did not understand the world. It was of course very important to ask Rick to discuss this at this time. Therefore, Rick followed Wei Mang quietly and walked in the maze unique to the Shenfeng Fortress at night.

It was exactly the same as Rick's expectations. The number of people in this meeting was much smaller than the last reception banquet. Apart from commanding Lord Changsha Tuman, Chief of Staff Cabrey, two Wanqi Changdake, Kruge and two joined the army, only Rick and Wei Mang were the only ones.

Shatuman first politely sued a crime, apologized for disturbing Rick's rest, and then said straight to the point: 'Sir Earl, I just received an edict from Her Majesty the Queen today, so I must discuss with the Earl if I have any questions, and I will mainly be the Earl. Therefore, it was so late that your deputy, Captain Wei Qian, invited you, and asked the Earl to forgive me.'

Rick glanced at Wei Mang, and seemed to know that he was the leader of the Qianqi. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Everyone works for Her Majesty the Queen. Is it not bothering or not."

'Wei Mang was my subordinate, so he first reported to me about the matter this time. Please do not dig into the details. Now we must solve the internal and external problems we are facing.' Sha Tuoman mentioned the problem of Wei Mang's report on the level and said: 'The God-Feng Fortress is likely to encounter the biggest security crisis in recent decades. The Earl happened to appear at the God-Feng Fortress at this time. Her Majesty the Queen does have a far-sighted vision that ordinary people cannot reach.'

Rick scratched his head and said in confusion: ‘What happened?’

Shatuman gave Cabri a wink. Cabri smiled slightly and looked at the person in front of him. He felt that he was just thinking of the rich man who came to the gold plate of the Shenfeng Fortress and said: "If you really want to investigate this matter, you must start with the transfer of Deputy Commander Kabak to the Shenfeng Fortress a year and a half ago.'

After a moment of pause, Kabry said: 'Since Kabak was transferred to the Fortress of the Gods, he had to go to Xiangcheng, fifty north of the Fortress of the Gods every month. At the beginning, we thought this was just a normal demand. After all, the brothels and brothels in the Fortress of the Gods are not very outstanding. Compared with the neutral city of Xiangcheng, fifty miles away, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground. Sometimes, the commander and I would occasionally go to Xiangcheng for a walk.'

Shatuman coughed lightly, and Kabri hurriedly brought the topic back and said, "However, once, Kabak and I went to Xiangcheng one after another, and we both lived in the largest Red Flower Pavilion in Xiangcheng. What's more coincidental was that I heard Kabak exchange information with the secret envoy of the Kingdom of Xuka, and I realized that Kabak was actually a spy from the Kingdom of Xuka in the Shenfeng Fortress. The commander and I immediately reported the news to Her Majesty the Queen. However, because the empire and the four northern countries have been in a relatively friendly period in recent years, the Queen did not ask us to do anything else. She just simply told us to pay attention to surveillance, and at the same time pay attention to the movements of other people and conduct investigations. Unexpectedly...'

‘I didn’t expect that after investigation, I found that except for a few adults, the other two deputy commanders, two aides and another one joining the army had problems, right?’ Rick interrupted Cabri and said.

Shatuman and Cabrey suddenly looked at Rick in surprise, as if wondering why Rick was so clear. After a while, Cabrey said: "Yes, why would the Count know?"

Rick glanced at Wei Mang and smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? If it weren't for them, how could the Commander say that the Shenfeng Fortress is facing a big crisis? Besides, if they had no problems, how could there be no such discussion without them? Keep talking about such a simple inference, don't ask any more questions."

Cabri's face turned slightly red and continued, "After conducting the investigation, the commander and I found that except for the two of us and these two 10,000 horsemen, almost all the commanders of the fortress legion were inextricably linked to several northern countries. Fortunately, they could actually control several positions of the troops, and they could not penetrate them, so we immediately reported the results of the investigation to Her Majesty the Queen, but Her Majesty did not let us take any action, because she did not know when the actions of several northern countries in the world had spent so much effort to penetrate the Shenfeng Fortress and wanted to put the fortress under their control.'

'So for more than a year, we have carefully monitored these spies and restrained all the soldiers, but...' Cabrey paused for a moment, as if worried that Rick would interrupt again. After a while, he said: 'But since last month, the two deputy commanders and the two staff soldiers began to provoke various conflicts in the south city, and the patrol teams responsible for the army kept protecting these people. By this month, the relationship between the people and the garrison troops had become very stiff. Today, the Marquis also saw that the dispute in Fanghua Tower was the direct subordinates of the aide Michuqi, and the patrol team was the Narip. Their idea should be to provoke conflicts between the fortress garrison and the ordinary people in the fortress, so that we could be busy with internal struggles and give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it.'

Wei Mang added: "Yes, just now, my former friend, Li Qi, who is currently the deputy commander of the Xiangcheng Yelang Mercenary Group, sent me a message saying that the teams of the four major mercenary groups in Xiangcheng had met today and discussed the matter of a mysterious legion about a hundred miles away from Xiangcheng two days ago. As a result, some kind of agreement seemed to have reached. Xiangcheng did not mention the existence of this mysterious legion. Therefore, I estimate that the destination of this legion is the Shenfeng Fortress. Now there are many spies from various countries in the Shenfeng Fortress. Although there may be few such spies among ordinary soldiers and people, many people must have been inserted. I am worried that once a large-scale battle occurs, we will encounter trouble, and Shenfeng Fortress will also encounter trouble."

Rick heard this quietly, finally found an opportunity and asked, 'Since you all know, why not take action? And to discuss with me, what role can it do?'

Wei Mang glanced at Rick strangely, exchanged a look with Shatuman and Cabrey, and asked strangely: 'Did Her Majesty the Queen tell you before you came to the Shenfeng Fortress? Although you are just the deputy commander in name, all the actions and strategies of the fortress must be based on your ideas.'

Rick rolled his eyes, recalled it carefully, and said, "No, I don't know if this is the case." So the two Wanqi Changda and Kruge, who had not spoken, were frightened by Rick's words, and then he realized that after spending a long time just now, the young Count in front of him was just listening to the story. No wonder he had an attitude of not having anything to do with him.
