37. Investigation Report
Xu Fei put down the letter paper, turned his head slowly, and looked at the knight in the oil painting with complicated eyes.
No matter how you look at it, Marcus's sword is not in line with the name "Mrs. Grey".
Of course, this is not important and has nothing to do with Xu Fei, so he quickly retracted his gaze and began to search for valuable items.
If nothing unexpected happens, Marcus is the administrator of the prison, the warden mentioned in the manuscript of Lack Lauven.
How could there be no good things in the warden's office?
Xu Fei walked around the desk and found no drawers, so he turned his gaze to the corner of the wall on the right.
There is a set of combination cabinets in the corner of the wall, and the upper half is a bookcase. The cabinet door is half open and covered with dust. There are several heavy books on the cabinet board. Through the undecayed cover, Xu Fei roughly sees that the themes of these books are "Maintenance and repair of armor", "Key points of training for war horses", "Confrontation between heavy infantry and cavalry", "Cooperation between light cavalry and field mages", and "The art of command of war".
Unfortunately, these books have been damaged by moisture and mold for a long time and are no longer able to read.
Then, Xu Fei opened the locker under the bookshelf and was surprised to find what he wanted: Silver Blood.
In the second compartment of the storage cabinet, there is an iron box with excellent sealing properties. The box contains a slender silver bottle. Unplug the cork and the sweet breath overflows from the bottle.
Xu Fei took a sip and his hunger disappeared immediately. He put away the silver blood bottle with satisfaction, continued to search, and found many documents from the locker one after another. Unlike the books in the bookcase, these documents were sealed in the airtight storage cabinet, well preserved, and the handwriting was neat and clear.
After the search was completed, Xu Fei checked the locker again and confirmed that there were no omissions. Then he sat at the desk with these documents and read them one by one according to their original placement order.
The top of the list are two rosters, namely the prisoner's roster and the soldier's roster. Xu Fei looked through it in one look and found "Marcus Romonster", "Harrison Juventus" and "Will Barry" in the second roster.
Judging from this list, the Raven Legion is a relatively special force, called the Legion, with less than 100 soldiers, and only more than 200 logistics personnel are included.
According to the roster's position records, the highest commander in command of this unit was Marcus Romonster, while Harrison Juventus and Will Barry were probably grassroots officers such as squad leader.
After flipping through the list, Xu Fei fell into doubt. There were more than 200 people in the Raven Legion, of which 92 were soldiers, but there were only fifty or sixty corpses in the courtyard. Where did the rest go? Why didn’t they restrain their colleagues’ bodies?
Xu Fei thought about it for a while but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. He simply closed the roster and continued to look through other documents.
Below the roster is a survey report on Curse Blood, signed by Bachelor Fritz.
Xu Fei had some impression of this name, and after a moment of recalling it, he remembered that there was a passage in Lack Laven's experimental manuscript: "I heard that Bachelor Fritz of the Yongshuang Tower in the North began to try to purify the blood of the monsters two months ago to maintain the rationality of the cursed powerful warriors of the Storm Legion. I guess the never-falling North will soon fall."
Then, Xu Fei remembered another passage from the experimental manuscript: "The northern border has fallen. If the reinforcements from the allies cannot arrive in time, how long can the Damais line last?"
Contacting the letter sent by Brother Marcus, Xu Fei linked a timeline in his mind.
First of all, this Fritz scholar tried to use the blood of the Warcraft to relieve blood thirst for warriors infected with cursed blood in the Storm Legion, and it is likely that a large number of half-human and half-warfare bloodthirsty monsters were created, resulting in the fall of the North.
After the fall of the northern border, Damais's defense line was hit, and Marcus's brother was ordered to reinforce and sent a letter to Marcus on the eve of the decisive battle.
So, did Lark Lauven successfully develop Silver Blood before or after the decisive battle?
Has Damais defended the defense line?
Xu Fei wrote down the questions he had thought of one by one, and then began to read Bachelor Fritz's investigation report.
When a ray of sunlight shone through the closed rose window, he finally finished reading the report.
According to this report, Cursed Blood first appeared north of the northern border of Cardenas, sweeping dozens of savage tribes like a plague, causing them to kill each other.
Then, the savages with black blood began to attack the northern border. They were not many, but their combat power was amazing and their vitality was tenacious, so it was difficult to kill them completely. The Storm Legion paid a heavy price to destroy these monsters that could no longer be called humans.
Afterwards, the nightmare began, and the wounded soldiers sent back to the rear to recuperate quickly turned into bloodthirsty monsters, and the brave and loyal warriors in the legion also began to go crazy.
After a period of investigation and experimentation, Bachelor Fritz finally confirmed that the only way to contagious blood of cursed is to kill. Once the cursed creature is killed, it will inevitably be infected with the cursed blood.
After reaching this conclusion, Bachelor Fritz proposed to capture all the cursed persons alive and detain him in a concentrated manner. Then select warriors who dare to sacrifice from the legions as executioners, and they will concentrate on executing all the cursed persons, and then let the cursed warriors commit suicide, and finally burn all the bodies.
However, this plan failed, and the reasons for the failure were mainly caused by two.
First, blood supply is in short supply. No matter how loyal the soldier is, he will immediately lose his mind once he falls into a state of blood thirst, attacking all living things that can be seen in a crazy way, and ignore the commander's orders at all.
Second, it is not only humans that are infected with the blood of the curse, but also wild beasts and monsters, which will attack towns endlessly.
At the end of the report, Bachelor Fritz left a passage:
"All bachelors who have received this report, please do their best to pass the above content to more people as much as possible. All countries on this continent, races must immediately stop disputes, form alliances, and fight against this plague together. Otherwise, our today will be their tomorrow, and their tomorrow will be the end of the civilized world!"
Xu Fei put down his investigation report and his mood could not calm down for a long time.
In this quiet room, on this long night, he seemed to have experienced a protracted and tragic war. Compared with this, the previous few battles that were almost dead and alive seemed worth mentioning.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh and leaned heavily against the back of the chair.
"Um?"
A strange touch came from the back, and Xu Fei stood up and looked at the back of the chair.
The back of this high-back chair is about three meters high and has a thickness of nearly half a meter. Before, he only thought it was a special design style. Now it seems that the back of the chair seems to be famous.
He hesitated for a moment, reached out to fumble on the back of the chair for a while, and found a mechanism that could be pressed.
