Inside, the soldiers on duty with various clothes and mixed skin colors quickly gathered around with their guns drawn. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Cordis.
However, they did not put down their guns, but waited until the leading officer confirmed that there was no problem before welcoming them back.
"In the past, some Intis people pretended to be us and sneaked in. Fortunately, they were found to have different habits and were eliminated in time. However, they also caused us huge losses."
"Faceless Man? The other party is really willing to spend a lot of money. After all, it is normal to establish a naval base here to monitor the Loen Colony in East Balam opposite."
"So it's better to give us neutrals, who will only keep the war spreading."
"The situation is complicated and I can't say anything. I hope you will fulfill your promise."
After passing the roadblock, Cordis gave his companion's body to others to place.
He and Wayne Fern led Hermione towards the port city. The barricades relied on the outer edges of the residential areas, and there were many high points in some twists and turns.
Several figures holding spears secretly retreated to find a hiding place.
The streets in the residential areas that I just walked into were amazing. There were defensive sandbags at key street entrances and roads.
The surrounding houses have no lights, and a little light may attract random stray bullets on the sea. Traces of damage can be seen in many houses.
The guards patrolling the streets took out a holy symbol to confirm Cordis's identity before continuing to patrol. This was to avoid the losses caused by the previous faceless men's infiltration, and even the governor had to be inspected.
"Has the indigenous combined fleet ever attacked? The port area, the entire island?"
"The initial attack in the port area was very fierce. After the artillery positions were replenished, they never came close. I don't know if you can see the Dongshan Mountain over there. It was basically baptized by artillery fire."
"Whoever makes that high point can completely suppress the sea area in front, and can also be suppressed by the opponent."
Even in the darkness, Hermione could see all the details there clearly. The top was covered with shattered soil and vegetation, all gray and black.
Broken shrapnel, sunken potholes, and deep trenches spread out, with several groups of moving lights inside.
Some places are bunkers made of masonry and concrete, which are sunken and square. They should be the muzzles of those guns.
Not bad, at least we know that we can support each other even if we are not in the same place.
"We just have no choice on the surrounding coasts. We can only rely on the indigenous people above to force them down and cut off their supplies. Thanks to open-minded people like Wayne."
Cordis patted Wayne next to him, said a few words to him, and then Wayne walked to another street and left.
Hermione also put the remaining supplies in the warehouse here. The area near the dock was the hardest hit area by bombing, and would only be buried and destroyed by artillery fire.
The coalition forces on the island dispersed and moved those things away. After talking to the person in charge, Cordis continued to take Hermione to the headquarters here.
On the turning street, several people with obvious mixed-race characteristics were begging for help from a group of patrolling soldiers.
The expressions on their faces were anxious, and the woman with obvious southern continental features was holding a child in a somewhat anxious way.
The men and women around her should be her family members. It seems that something has happened to her?
Cordis went up and checked the small badges with them. After finding that there was no problem with them, he asked about the matter in front of them.
Although he is only the deputy governor in charge of the war, he cannot ignore it when he sees it. This will not be conducive to subsequent concerted efforts.
"What happened to you? I am the deputy governor of Konot Port, Cordis."
They observed that the soldiers were all respectful to the young man in front of them, and they quickly gathered around and explained the reason in local dialect.
Listening to this somewhat distant language, Hermione's mind ran around a few times before recalling those memories.
It's a bit unclear, but it's not a problem for believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom to hear it clearly.
"Are you saying you saw dead people?"
"They were in the mirror room and suddenly appeared in a certain corner. Our children were frightened."
"I understand, you should go and stay in the hospital area first."
Cordis asked their male host to stay and lead the way, while the others asked the soldiers to send each other to the designated hospital area.
"It seems that people from the body collector route are doing the daily harassment. Just purify it."
"Is this common?"
Hermione asked about the key. Some large-scale ritual magics also start from little traces. Once they are discovered, they can no longer be stopped.
She had reason to suspect that this group of people might sacrifice the entire port area. Don't underestimate those who have fanatical beliefs.
Led by the mixed-race man, they arrived at the old street concierge. The atmosphere around them was indeed cold.
Hermione saw a gap opening underneath, and huge eyes below were constantly observing the world outside the gap.
It opened its pupils, saw Hermione staring at it, and disappeared there instantly.
The temperature of the house in front returned to normal heat. Standing at the door, Hermione crushed the condensed ice mirror and told Cordis that the problem had been solved.
It's just that the power of the Death Path penetrates, and those spirits are not a threat to her.
"You are so incredibly strong, I didn't even dare to look there just now with my spiritual vision."
"They are just some small creatures in the spiritual world. You'd better prepare more purification items for the sun pathway."
After talking to the mixed-race man, the two left here, followed by the two soldiers on duty keeping a distance.
"We have a way to deal with it. As long as the saint doesn't come, we will be safe, but we will be a little tired. They may want to destroy the high ground over there."
"What will you do if the volcano behind it explodes?"
"Go back to Uttar Pradesh with the people you can bring. This time we admit defeat. Neither the power of nature nor the extraordinary power can be competed by us."
Although the mountains behind are already covered with vegetation, and tribesmen are still settling in, it is not impossible to rekindle it with extraordinary power.
Curtis almost forgot this, but fortunately Hermione reminded him that the most impossible things are often more likely.
Recently, the fleets at sea have been blocking them, or running away with a round of artillery fire, so he decided to leave and persuade the last few places.
The constant penetration shows that they are also waiting for certain opportunities. As for fighting with themselves like this?
Is there too much value on the island? Wouldn't it be better for you to guard against Loen?
"We're almost there. Our current temporary command post is in front of us. The conditions are simple. Please forgive me."
"I'm not that delicate. Let's take a look at your defense line first."
Hermione and Cordis walked into the isolated courtyard, and the surrounding sentries and moving torches were already patrolling along the route.
