A guard said with some dissatisfaction: "What's going on tonight? You have to get up to practice in the middle of the night?"
"I heard that His Highness Mingyue came to us suddenly. He seemed to suspect that the barbarians were going to attack the supply warehouse. He repeatedly told us to be more careful, so the boss arranged more guards."
"Ah? Barbarians? What nonsense are you talking about? Barbarians are far away in the horizon, how can they suddenly appear in front of us?"
"Who knows."
"Okay, stop talking about it, a team is coming."
The chief of guard stopped everyone's discussion and looked away.
On the road leading to the Imperial Military Supplies Depository, Fang Heng and Milhohe worked together as a team, accompanying the Sihai Chamber of Commerce material transport team and entering from the west entrance of the large warehouse.
"stop!"
As soon as the escort team of Sihai Trading Company arrived at the entrance, they were blocked by the guards guarding the checkpoint.
The captain of the guard stepped forward and looked at the visitor, "You're here to deliver supplies so early, before dawn?"
The director of Sihai Commercial Bank stepped forward and handed the verification voucher to the guard on the side. With a smile on his face, he bowed and nodded and explained: "Sir, these are the supplies that His Highness Mingyue urgently needs. Lord Weilun ordered us to rush them overnight.
Come here, don’t dare to be negligent in the slightest.”
The guard checked the voucher and whispered in the head guard's ear, "Captain, I have checked it and the voucher is fine. It is the supplies given to His Highness Mingyue by Lord Weilun, and the stamping procedures are complete."
The imperial military depot has been peaceful for so many years since it was established. The guards have long been slacking off, and most of the routine inspections are very lax.
Not to mention that this batch of supplies was personally requested by His Highness Mingyue, and the delivery party was Lord Weilun.
Of course there will be no problem.
The captain of the guard stepped forward, casually opened a box on the back of a truck and took a look. He found that it was mineral supplies, and waved, "Let it go!"
Seeing that he successfully passed the checkpoint, Fang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
But this is only the first step.
There are many guard towers inside the military depot, and everyone's every move is under the surveillance of the empire.
"Mr. Fang, the supplies we sent are currently being piled up in Warehouse No. 9."
The director of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce has helped transport goods several times, and he is familiar with the road and leads everyone slowly towards the direction of Warehouse No. 9.
Arriving outside the warehouse, everyone in the chamber of commerce began to unload the goods.
Under the supervision of imperial guards, the guys from the Chamber of Commerce moved boxes of supplies from the accompanying carts to the interior of the storage warehouse.
The No. 9 warehouse that Tang Mingyue temporarily occupied was in the peripheral area of the entire material storage warehouse, and the overall capacity of the warehouse was relatively small.
It took more than twenty minutes for everyone in the Chamber of Commerce to finish transporting the supplies. They nodded and greeted Fang Heng, "Lord Fang Heng, we have completed transporting the supplies. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Well, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go check it out and I'll catch up with you later."
"Yes, please be careful."
Fang Heng waved to the chamber of commerce supervisors, motioning for them to leave first, and followed Milhohe into the warehouse for inspection.
Until now, Muhlhauch is still a little dizzy.
He only knew that Fang Heng was preparing to lure the Imperial people to fight the barbarians. Why did he wander to the military supply depot inexplicably?
Seeing Fang Heng stacking the two ores together and mixing them, Milhauch couldn't help but frown.
He stepped forward and asked, "Fang Heng, what are you doing?"
"explosive."
Fang Heng nodded while mixing the ore materials and explained, "When the two ores are mixed in a specific ratio, they will form an explosive substance, um, a very strong explosion."
Muhlhauch didn't understand even more.
They wanted to lure the empire to discover the barbarian camp.
What is Fang Heng preparing to do now?
Blow up the empire's munitions depot?
Muhlhauch lowered his voice and asked: "Are you going to blow up this place?"
"Well, I want the empire to make a wrong judgment and make them think it is the imperial military depot for barbarian invasion."
"Well, Fang Heng, I don't know much about alchemy, but according to what you said, even if the explosion is very powerful, the empire is not a fool. Such an explosion will not make them think that it was done by barbarians, right?"
"You're right, so in addition to explosions, we have to add some ingredients to them."
"Ah? Add some ingredients?" Milhohe looked confused, raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You'll know soon."
While talking, Fang Heng had already finished mixing the ore.
He walked to the ore box that had just been delivered by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
With a flip of his wrist, the dark Book of the Dead appeared in front of him.
Fang Heng slowly pulled out a white bone spear from the glowing Book of the Dead.
The bone spear is in his hand.
"Wha-! Bang!!!"
The bone spear swung forward heavily, and the wooden box was shattered with a bang. The ore that had originally hit the box was scattered on the ground.
Huh? That is?
Milhauch was shocked.
Metal plate?
It turns out that the box containing the ore has a mezzanine inside, and a metal plate is hidden under the mezzanine.
What else is on the metal plate?
Muhlhauch took a step forward to take a closer look, his brows furrowed.
What kind of monster is that?
There was a gray-white monster nailed with purple nails on the metal plate. Most of the monster's body was wrapped in tendrils, and the facial features of its head could not be seen clearly. It could only be vaguely recognized as a roughly human form.
At first glance, Muhlhauch thought it was just a specimen.
Huh?
Purple marrow?
Muhlhauch discovered the purple marrow nailed to the monster's body, and was about to explore further when his heart suddenly moved.
What? It's still moving?
It's still alive!
Seeing the slight squirming of the tendrils, Milhauch felt an instinctive discomfort in his heart.
He couldn't help but look back at Fang Heng, waiting for Fang Heng to give an answer.
"What it is?"
"Well, this question is a bit difficult to answer."
Fang Heng shook his head.
The quest line about the underground world is also a mess, which is a headache.
Fang Heng tried to explain as clearly as possible, "Do you remember the giant alchemical body we saw when we entered the underground cave before? This thing is the 'energy drive' hidden inside the alchemical body."
"It has been sealed in the giant alchemical body for a long time. The cave-dwelling beasts call it a demon. As for what it is, we are still investigating."
"It is worth mentioning that purple marrow was also used when sealing the evil spirits. Also, it was a human saint who sealed the evil spirits in the giant alchemical body."
"As for the investigation about the saint, which is still in progress, it seems to have disappeared very strangely. I am going to investigate this aspect further."
"Ah, this..."
Milhauch opened his mouth when he heard this, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.
He felt as if he had caught some clues, but there were too many and too many clues to connect them together.
Milhauch sighed helplessly.
As expected, he was still not suitable to participate in such a weird mission, so it would be easier for him to go to the underground world with Wei Tao to fight the barbarians.
