Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 228: The alchemist and the secret police

"Sir, it's great to see you all right!" Whether it's a lie or a lie, when Lieutenant Peping saw Zhang Tie, the expression of relief on this slick guy's face was really impressive. Nuan, can't afford to be malicious to him. Dealing with such characters is what Zhang Tie is best at in Tang De's grocery store. So Zhang Tie who saw Ensign Peping didn't treat him politely, but directly. Hooking on Lieutenant Piping's shoulders, he took Piping to the office.

It's been two weeks since I've been a section chief, and it was the first time that Zhang Tie came to the section chief's office in the repair shop.

The office layout is full of simple military style, a desk, a sofa, a file cabinet, a few steam engines and car structural drawings hanging on the wall and other things, other than the slightest extra decoration . However, although Zhang Tie hasn't come these days, the office is still very clean.

Zhang Tie, who came to the office, sat down on the sofa and looked at Lieutenant Piping.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I know you are well-informed, what happened last night, let me hear..."

Lieutenant Peping also discovered that this officer from the Iron-Blood Camp was different from other people, and was easier to deal with, and seemed approachable, but in fact, he was less likely to be fooled. As a subordinate, I actually like this kind of officer. Lieutenant Piping is most afraid of the old-fashioned kind who doesn’t understand anything but wants to manage everything. If there is such a chief in the Ninth Equipment Division, then It is a nightmare for everyone.

What Zhang Tie didn't know was that in the two weeks he hadn't come here to meet each other, his indifferent attitude was recognized by the people here, thinking that he was a good chief and a good section chief.

Before telling the news that he heard, Lieutenant Peping also looked at the door of the office and confirmed that there was no one outside. After closing the door personally, he rushed to Zhang Tie's side.

"I have a friend who was in the air defense battalion. He said that a lot of people died last night. An important warehouse of our logistics department was blown up by the airship of Glory Feather!" Lieutenant Piping said quietly.

"Is it really an explosive?" Zhang Tie asked curiously.

"It's really an explosive!" Lieutenant Piping nodded affirmatively, "I heard that this is the revenge of the sun **** on our side, because our crazy shark airship touched us at night two days ago. In the past, a few heavy white phosphorus gel incendiary bombs were dropped in the battle fort where their headquarters was located. Many people were killed there and their morale suffered a lot. The action last night was Glory. Yu's revenge on us!"

Zhang Tie only felt speechless for a while, yet again in revenge?

Sometimes the contest between the country and the country, between the corps and the corps, is actually the same as a fight with a three or five-year-old kid. If you punch me, then I must kick you. No one wants to lose. It's just that this kind of revenge is more terrifying and **** than children fighting, and it will also cause more people to lose their lives in this kind of revenge. The heads of the Ironhorn Legion were chopped off, so the members of the Jagged Battalion had to go up and chop off the opponent’s head. It was regarded as revenge. The floating unit of the Legion dropped heavy white phosphorus on the head of the battle fort where the headquarter was located. Gel incendiary bombs, so they just got an airship to the logistics base here and dropped the explosives directly. Make the whole Brappe restless.

Zhang Tie felt that perhaps the battle fort on the front line had long been prepared for the Glory Feather's sneak attack, so the Glory Feather who couldn't find a chance on the front line extended the front to the rear of this side, and suddenly hit the iron. The key to the Horned Legion. Because of the limitation of transportation capacity, logistics support is indeed one of the key points of the Iron Horn Army.

"Were their airships shot down by us?" Zhang Tie felt that he was a little idiot after asking this question. If the logistics base of the Iron Horn Corps is more than 100 kilometers away from the front line, they can let the other airship drop a bomb. If you don't pat your **** and fly back without anything, then there is no need to fight this war.

"After it's hit, I feel a little troublesome!"

"why?"

"I heard that our air defense force did knock down their airship, and their airship crashed more than 20 kilometers south of Brape, but when our troops arrived there, the other airship was on board. Except for the few people who died, everyone else is gone. This is the most troublesome. Now no one knows where the remaining people on the airship went." Lieutenant Piping sighed. .

"We found not many bodies on the airship, which means that the other people on the airship ran away. This is the most troublesome thing, because no one knows where those guys are hiding, whether they fled back or Staying there, if the other party has intelligence personnel familiar with and lurking in Brape and the escaped personnel working together, no one knows what those people will do next? If those guys still have an explosion hidden in their hands As far as things are concerned, maybe they will rush to Brape’s parliament building and become human bombs!”

The term "human flesh bomb" is not new. For people in the Dark Iron Age, this term is proof of the most tragic and helpless era of human cannibalism before the cataclysm.

After listening to these words, Zhang Tie knew why the atmosphere in Brape was suddenly tense. This was not only because of the explosion last night, but it was already confirmed that there were dangerous elements lurking in Brape. Somewhere in, even though he was wearing a military uniform, Zhang Tie was checked three times with his military ID on the way from the home to the logistics base where he is now, and finally he came to the "Ninth Equipment Division of the Integrated Logistics Support Office". Repair shop.

In order to catch those people, all the soldiers from a division stationed in Brape took to the streets today, and began to set up gates to check passers-by to check their documents. In this way, even if the potentially dangerous elements cannot be caught immediately, at least they can Limiting the space for those people to a certain range. This is the only way to deal with those people before they are finally caught or killed.

"Does the Iron Horn Legion have explosives?" The word bomb reminded Zhang Tie of a question that interests him.

"Yes. But the explosives of the Legion are the most important strategic materials of the empire. Because they are too scarce and precious, all the explosives must be approved and signed by the commander of the Legion himself. In the entire Norman Empire, everything All of the explosives are controlled by the imperial family. The only two alchemists in the empire who can make explosives are members of the imperial imperial elders after their marriage with the imperial family!"

Alchemist, this is a Zhang Tie who has only heard of it in the legend and seen it in the book "A Preliminary Study of the Special Occupation of the Human Race in the Dark Iron Age" two days ago. It is better than Pharmacist Pill either in the legend or in reality. Ten times rarer, it can be called the most mysterious, richest, and most terrifying top profession in the Dark Iron Age.

Many cities in the Andaman Alliance may be able to piece together a few pill masters like Abian, but the entire Andaman Alliance does not have a single alchemist. These people have spent their entire lives dealing with various strange stones and crystals. When dealing with, as long as there is a stone in their hands, these people are like omnipotent gods. The stones and crystals in their hands become capable of fighting, practicing, curing diseases, and even improving the attributes of a pile of metals and machines. Baby, as long as they pass through the hands of an alchemist, many ordinary crystals and stones can become worth ten thousand times, and the price exceeds gold. Because these people really have the ability to turn stones into gold, this profession is called an alchemist. The name alchemist is not so much a description of their professional work, not to mention the naked envy of people for this profession.

An alchemist is the only person in this era who can make explosives. A person who becomes an alchemist may lack everything in his life, but he never lacks money. Like the Norman Empire, as long as you find that there is an alchemist of the level that can produce explosives and that alchemist is in the empire, you can directly marry the royal family without a word of nonsense. Use blood and family relations to tie that person to the empire. On the chariot.

Alchemists have many nicknames—"baby maker", "moving vault", "omnipotent stone whisperer", "hot warrior of the cold weapon age" and "humanoid nuclear bomb". This title with a strong color of technology before the cataclysm, in many countries in the Blackson Human Corridor, whether they can have an alchemist who can make explosives is a symbol of national strength and status.

The former Andaman Alliance once took out the position of the leader of the alliance and promised a lot of benefits. It wanted to attract an alchemist to join, but unfortunately it failed.

...

At this moment, almost at the same time Zhang Tie came to this logistics base, in a wilderness more than 30 kilometers south of Brappe, the airship that caused a huge disturbance and loss to Brappe last night has been scattered on the ground in disrepair. The whole body of the airship used for the sneak attack was painted black. The airship’s pod was more than 15 meters long, and the 50-meter-long hull was burned to the point that only a deformed rigid skeleton was left, which was used as the rubberized fiber cloth for the airship airbag. Except for a small amount of residue, the others were burned into large patches of black solidified carbide, scattered around the pod and the airship skeleton. Among the broken airship pods, some corpses in aqua blue military uniforms were even more serious. Lying strangely.

A group of Norman soldiers in dark red uniforms has sealed off the scene. In the blockade circle, a group of people in black windbreakers were looking for something in the bodies of the sun **** soldiers. Several soldiers in the uniforms of the imperial officers accompanied them. The soldiers around under martial law quietly looked at the group of people in black windbreakers with strange eyes, and looked at the blood-red gloves on their hands.

These people wearing red gloves are the protagonists in all the darkest and darkest stories in the empire. They are representatives of the other side of the Norman Empire, which is cold and bloody. If the empire’s soldiers are a group of tigers, then this group is wearing red. The gloved man is a strange breed of a cross between carrion-based jackals and poisonous snakes in the empire.

These people come from another powerful department in the empire besides the military-the Imperial Order Review Committee. These people are the "State Secret Order Maintenance Police" under the Imperial Order Review Committee.

In Nottingburg, everyone knows that the leaders of these secret police, Viscount Norton and Marshal Lin Changjiang, dislike each other.

Except for their superiors, few people in the entire empire like them.

Because of the explosion last night, these people appeared in Brape like flies smelling rotten odors. This was originally a matter for the Iron Horn Legion, but these people had to force it in. There are two reasons for these people to intervene: First, the explosion is a special national security incident. Except for the explosion on the battlefield, the investigation of all explosions in the empire is under the responsibility of the Imperial Order Review Committee. Second, in accordance with the laws of the Empire, the Ironhorn Legion’s jurisdiction over the Karur theater is only within 100 kilometers of the frontline. Brape just went beyond this range, so although the victims of this bombing were the Iron Horn Legion, the Imperial Order Review Committee still has the power to investigate.

Because Nottingburg’s Imperial Order Review Committee has already written the Iron Horn Legion and hopes that the Iron Horn Legion will cooperate with these secret police in investigating the bombing. So these people came to Brape, so even if they were reluctant, they were sent to assist these people. The officers of the Iron Horn Legion still had no choice but to face them coldly, completing their tasks publicly, and when the other party asked about the situation last night, they informed the other party about the latest actions and findings of the Iron Horn Legion.

The head of these men in black trench coats and red gloves was a major, a man in his thirties with silver hair and a certain cold color in his eyes like wolves.

"Major, after our troops arrived here, we surrounded the scene and never moved. On the ground 500 meters away from the ground where the airship fell, our soldiers found traces of truck tires, that trace. Heading south, it is estimated that those who fled will be picked up, we..."

The silver-haired man who had been carefully examining the corpse showed a temperatureless smile on his face. As soon as he raised his hand, he interrupted the officer who was reporting to him what had happened last night.

"Needless to say, I have already guessed the next thing. Your people caught up with the empty truck somewhere more than ten kilometers away, and then no one saw them. Then you tracked down the truck. The origin of the truck. It was discovered that the truck was stolen in Brape a few days ago. Then, you judged that the people who escaped on the airship had fled south, right, Captain?"

There was a surprised expression on the captain's face, and the language on that face was just one sentence-how did you know?

"Captain, congratulations on your successful release of all the dangerous elements of the Sun Goddess. When your attention was caught by the truck heading south, the remaining Sun God destroyers on the airship had already Fleeing north, if you could chase in another direction at that time, there might be nothing for us now. The spies hiding in Brappe from the Sun God clearly know what little tricks can make you fool... …"

The silver-haired major said mercilessly, the captain was already blushing with shame and could not speak. The captain was speechless, and a major who belonged to the 21st Division with the captain could still argue a few more words at this time.

"Our soldiers did their best last night, Major Franka, you just took a look here, how can you be sure that the people who escaped from the airship will run north instead of south last night? What?"

"Of course I can be sure!" Major Franka from the Imperial Order Reviewer said expressionlessly, then took off his gloves and extended an index finger in front of several 21st Division officers. Face, squat down, and immediately inserted his index finger into the head of a corpse on the ground. The hard skull of the corpse, under this person’s finger, was inserted like a piece of tofu. Went in.

Major Franka stirred the corpse's cranial cavity with the index finger inserted into the corpse's head, and then pulled out the index finger stained with some red and white juice and brain plasma, and put it directly in his mouth, like tasting some food. I closed my eyes and tasted it carefully. Even though the officers of the twenty-first divisions next to him were used to seeing life and death, seeing this behavior of tasting the brains of the dead, their faces were a little pale and felt a little sick, especially when Major Franka was tasting the brains. The strange smile on his face is even more chilling.

After a long time, Major Franka opened his eyes and slapped his mouth with aftertaste, "These people have the smell of bitter stone flower in their brains. This is the effect of a secret medicine of the Sun God Dynasty on people. People who take medicine will be stimulated in a short period of time, and the brain will be awake, but life will not last too long. This medicine will generally only be used on those who dare to take it. People who plant medicine, in the army of the Sun God Dynasty, their only purpose is to die, not to escape, because these people run back but it is a big crime. Before coming, everyone on this airship did not They are ready to go back alive again, so they must run to the north instead of to the south. Running to the south will hit your front line, and running to the north, these people can do the most damage. In Brape, there is lurking. The spies of the Sun God Dynasty are responding to them, and their airship crashed to the south to give you the illusion that they are running away..."

"This is still your conjecture!" The major officer of the 21st Division still argued with a pale face.

"These people on the airship died when the airship crashed. It is impossible for those who fled to have nothing on their bodies. There must be injured or even severely injured people inside. They cannot be treated when they escape. Strong, those people’s injuries will definitely worsen. If the injuries worsen, they will be inconvenient to move, and the inconvenience will drag the team. When the team is found to be dragged down, in the style of the sun, those seriously injured will be dealt with. As long as we look north now and avoid the main road search, we will definitely find..." Major Franka looked at the several 21st Division officers in front of him with wolf-like eyes, his eyes sharpened suddenly. A slightly disdainful smile appeared on his face, "Your strengths are on the battlefield. I am not here to be your counterintelligence teacher. I only hope that if it turns out that what I said is correct, in the next Before digging out the potential saboteurs, please don’t interfere with my actions in Brappe. My time is precious. I don’t want to waste too long in Brappe for a few insignificant characters. ."

Several officers of the 21st Division took a look at each other with restrained anger, and then nodded. Damn, if it weren't for the above, who would want to be with these guys wearing red gloves.

Twenty minutes later, in a trench in the wild five kilometers north of the place where the airship crashed, the first corpse was found. The corpse was buried in the ground, but because it had not been buried for a long time, and because it was They were sold in a hurry at night, even though the sun **** made some cover-ups at the people over there, they were still discovered by Major Franka.

In another place less than two kilometers away from this body, the second body was found again...
