The guards didn't seem to know Xiao Lin yet, and after showing a regimental commander's seal that the royal family had just given to Xiao Lin, the guards hurriedly got out of the way, and then went with them to the location of the warehouse under Xiao Lin's instructions.
"We've been here since the siege began yesterday, and we haven't found any suspicious people sneaking in or sabotaging it."
The soldier said in stammering Chinese that as a direct consequence of the decades of Dawning Academy's rule here, Chinese had become a second language here, and even the dolls on the street could speak a few words of Chinese casually.
Xiao Lin's mood eased slightly, maybe it was really as Luo Jianhui said, he was just too worried because he was not used to the position of army commander.
The energy spar warehouse occupies almost half of the area under the city, a bit similar to a small vault, the spars stored in the Rose Kingdom are all medium-energy spars, and the durability is higher than that of low-level spars, when the soldiers guarding took out the warehouse key, Xiao Lin frowned slightly.
For such an important warehouse, the key was actually taken care of by ordinary soldiers, although the soldiers explained that because of the frequent use of the defense tower recently, people would come over to transport the hedron every day, so he asked him to keep the key, so that it would be more convenient to open and close the warehouse every time, and it would not delay the battle.
The magic lights in the warehouse haven't been extinguished yet, but it's still very dim inside, and the illumination of the magic lights is not as good as the searchlights.
Xiao Lin chuckled in his heart, and the heart that he had just put down suddenly came to his lips again, he quickened his pace and walked to the nearest storage box, these boxes were specially made by alchemists, because storing the spar requires a specific temperature and a stable environment, otherwise it is easy to cause the slow loss of energy in the spar.
But now these chests are all staggered horizontally, the inside of the boxes is pitch black, the hedron itself has a light source, and the chests are translucent, and the warehouse full of hedron is like a vault full of gold, it is absolutely impossible to be so dark.
The soldiers who followed behind also panicked, and in Xiao Lin's shouting, they hurriedly opened the other boxes one after another, but what was shocking was that all the boxes were empty!
Walking out of the warehouse with heavy steps, Xiao Lin's face was completely darkened, and his eyes of vigilance and suspicion fell on the soldiers in charge of guarding, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the holy sword as if it were nothing.
"No, it's not us!"
The soldier pleaded with horror on his face.
"We didn't steal the hedrons!"
"I have a mother and a son at home, how could I betray Rose!
How could they take refuge in those wicked undead!
” …… Xiao Lin's eyes moved slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything else in the royal capital besides this spar warehouse?"
” "No, no, wait, there's still one in the royal chamber, but it's a spare warehouse, and it's small, and we're not sure if there's a spar in it."
Xiao Lin groaned, it doesn't matter whose fault it is now, without the energy spar, those defense towers will be like scrap metal, and the lost energy spar must be recovered.
Xiao Lin looked at a few soldiers again, and the unkind eyes made them all tremble, in fact, Xiao Lin didn't think that they did it, otherwise they would have fled long ago after emptying the warehouse, instead of continuing to stay here and wait to be discovered.
Xiao Lin quickly found a suspicious place and asked, "You just said that there are a lot of people who have come here to take spars in the past two days?"
Show me the entry and exit list?
” But several soldiers trembled even more, and explained with sad faces, except for the clear record on the night of the siege, there was no record for the next few times, because it was the military minister of Rose who came to fetch the spar, and when they asked for the order, they were angrily reprimanded and even whipped by the other party, accusing them of delaying the warplane, so they didn't dare to ask more questions at that time, so they immediately let them go.
"Minister of War?
Which minister?
Xiao Lin asked murderously.
"That's it, it's the garrison general of the royal capital, oh no, it's the former general of the city guard, the former commander of the royal capital legion."
It turned out to be the one who was robbed of his position by Xiao Lin, of course, this is definitely not any reason or excuse, that guy's behavior is likely to make the entire king completely broken.
Xiao Lin was too lazy to entangle with a few soldiers who begged for mercy again and again, and asked the accompanying adjutant to arrest them, as for how to deal with it, it had nothing to do with him, and Xiao Lin rushed to the embassy immediately, but Liang Taibai was not in the embassy, and at this time Ambassador Liang was having a meeting with the businessmen who stayed here.
The anxious Xiao Lin knew that time was waiting for no one, so he could only go straight to the palace alone, and unceremoniously let people wake up the king who was still asleep, although those guards were frightened to disturb the king's dream, but they knew better that in the current royal capital, the real power was already the people of Dawning Academy.
The king in his nightgown appeared in the splendid parlor a quarter of an hour later, without any greetings or polite diplomatic words, Xiao Lin directly asked, "Where is your military minister?"
Let him come out and see me!
” Because of Ibeya, Xiao Lin always had a bad impression of this king, although Liang Taibai said that this king is still a hard-working and reformed person, but that did not change Xiao Lin's poor perception of him.
"I have already handed over the position of commander of the garrison army to you as requested by Ambassador Liang, what else do you want to do?"
The king's voice was very calm, and now he was almost reduced to a puppet, but whether it was Xiao Lin or Liang Taibai, this king did not have the slightest flattery or flattery.
"The hedron warehouse is empty, of course I have to ask your military minister for the whereabouts of the hedrons!
The towers in the city are waiting to be used!
Xiao Lin stared at the king's face tightly, trying to judge whether this guy was also involved, from a political point of view, it is not impossible for the king who was overthrown to give up on himself and collude with the rebels to break through the royal capital.
There was a look of incredible astonishment on the king's face, followed by anger, an unimaginable rage, and he angrily threw several valuable ornaments on the table on the carpet.
After throwing debris all over the ground, the king's anger suddenly burst into the air, and he sat down on the throne in a dejected manner, his face seemed to be ten years old again, and after a long time he sighed and said: "I can't think of it, I really can't imagine it, but in the end he betrayed me and betrayed the country, alas!
” Xiao Lin watched coldly, and waited for the king to feel sorry for himself for a few minutes before he said: "Now that he is just a traitor, I think the king should not shield this traitor, hand him over." ” The king shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know where he is, he hasn't been to the palace for a long time since he was dismissed.
