The queen’s request was actually quite simple.
"Within my Imperial... there’s a group of rebels... they’re trying to overthrow my rule... for this, they’ve secretly done a lot of things... in the mountains to the northeast... there’s a signal generator created by the rebel organization... they use this thod to attract the insect swarm here. If the generator is not destroyed, then the swarm will be endless..."
"We...? No, those rebels have cast a curse... we can’t get close to there... so, Outsider... if you want to gain my approval... then... go and destroy that signal generator... only then does the Grar Empire have a future..."
So they left the city and arrived at the secret base in the mountains.
However...
"Master, what’s up with that queen?"
Mugeng walked in front, frowning in confusion.
"Doesn’t the Grar Empire not exist?"
"If they believe it exists, then it does."
Duanmu Huai didn’t really mind.
"Anyway, as long as we do what they want us to do, nothing else matters."
"........."
With her hands behind her back, Alicia stared at Duanmu Huai’s tall figure ahead, lost in deep thought.
She was sure that there was sothing the queen was up to, and Alicia knew that Duanmu Huai had noticed this point. Thinking carefully, if the information they had obtained from the database earlier were true and reliable, then the "rebels" the queen ntioned were clearly people from the Grar Republic, and the facilities they set up here were obviously aid at the Iron Cavalry.
If this device is destroyed, what will happen?
If it were Alicia, she might first investigate the situation thoroughly and then think about how to solve the problem.
But having followed Duanmu Huai all this way, Alicia found that Duanmu Huai’s way of thinking was completely different from hers.
He tended to cause problems first and then think about how to solve them.
In plain terms, solve it with fists.
As the saying goes, brute force can overpower a hundred strategies, that’s pretty much it.
But Duanmu Huai’s deanor was also different from those who relied solely on brute force.
Usually talking about domineering and barbaric, Alicia would think of those who try to oppress others with their strength. She had seen plenty of such people during her travels, relying on their weapons, or money, or fighting skills, always having the final say. Not allowing anyone to contradict their opinion, as long as they spoke, others had to listen.
Initially, this was also the feeling Duanmu Huai gave Alicia, after all, he himself said, "The Tribunal does not accept rejection, nor compromise."
And when facing the queen just now, he was also straightforward, without any preamble... yet, his attitude seed not quite the sa as those who simply relied on strength...
"Boom!!"
At this mont, Alicia saw Duanmu Huai raise the War Hamr and slam it hard against the closed gate in front of them, accompanied by a piercing crashing sound, the heavy alloy gate was directly smashed and flew out by Duanmu Huai.
"Beep ——— Beep ——— Beep ————!!"
Alongside the alarm sound, the entire corridor flashed with warning red light, until Lumiaire stepped forward and fiddled with the console, finally lifting the alarm.
"........."
Retract previous words, it feels like he’s no different from those people.
Passing through the corridor, the group arrived deep in the valley, and without guidance, they quickly found the signal transmitter the queen ntioned.
"Goodness."
Duanmu Huai held the War Hamr, looking at the signal transmitter before him, twitching his mouth.
"Looks like the Governance Council over there really put in a lot of effort."
Duanmu Huai wasn’t wrong. This valley was surrounded by mountains, the only access was a path cut through from the mountain below, and inside this valley was not so simple radar antenna. On the contrary, what appeared in front of Duanmu Huai and his group was a tower-like structure about six floors high, it had no traces of doors or windows on the outside, as if it was entirely cast from steel.
"Is this it, Lumiaire?"
Duanmu Huai examined the spire, looking towards Lumiaire as he asked, while Lumiaire scanned it with the Bird Divination Tool, then nodded after analysis and comparison.
"This should be it, the signal fluctuations are very strong, but exactly what this signal is for is unclear."
"We don’t need to know what it’s for either."
Duanmu Huai snorted slightly.
"It’s enough to just destroy this thing, right."
At the sa ti, inside a facility deep underground, a group of staff was also watching on the screen the images of Duanmu Huai and others.
"Director, what should we do next?"
A staff mber turned his head to ask, and behind him stood a young man, if Duanmu Huai were here, he would instantly recognize him as the young man who had previously guided them in the underground shelter. However, at this mont, this young man was wearing a pair of glasses, and his expression looked serious and cold.
"Didn’t expect they would actually agree to the queen’s request..."
"Director, should we activate ergency asures?"
Another staff mber now placed his hand on the ergency button, face full of tension.
And the young man was staring at the screen, his expression changing unpredictably.
Actually, Duanmu Huai guessed correctly, there indeed was a problem between the Governance Council and the queen.
