Chapter 1896: Chapter 616: Codename Foxfire_3
“Haven’t you heard my name?” Rommel’s brow furrowed into the character “Chuan”: “Chief of Staff, I am Rommel! Codename ‘Fire Fox’!”
“Fire Fox? So you’re the insider selected by the infiltration agency?” Valdeniel sighed in relief: “I’m really sorry, Fire Fox. The infiltration agency was disbanded due to consecutive major mistakes in operations. It has now been merged into the logistics department under the staff department!”
“However, if you have any requests, you can directly tell me. As the Chief of Staff, I can represent fully!” Valdeniel cleared his throat and scanned the four Giant Dragons and the handsome man sitting on the silver elephant, his eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and delight.
Rommel lowered his head and sighed, feeling extremely conflicted.
This chaotic Demon Clan vanguard army on the ground, in his view, was simply a foolish army of two hundred thousand rookies! Although their formation was barely passable, their mental resilience was too poor, and the coordination of combat units was riddled with holes. To even let four Giant Dragons scout the skies without any masters intercepting them!
If this were a real battle, the fiery dragon breath of the four Hell Black Dragons could instantly eliminate the commander of this army!
“Chief of Staff, the day before yesterday, I spoke with the Fire Fox Supervisor responsible for contacting me. He told me that starting last night, the Holy War vanguard army would begin entering the Aegean Continent!” Rommel shook the bone-linked treasure box in his hand; this item was a souvenir left by the Undead Mage Zandi, said to be specifically for direct contact with Demon Clan officials after the ‘Space-Time Rift’ was opened.
“I’ve already notified the Fire Fox Supervisor that today I would meet with the commander of the vanguard army and present a military secret, a significant secret that could eliminate the high-end mage force of the Aegean Continent!” Rommel paused, looking peculiarly at the perplexed Valdeniel: “…Chief of Staff, please pardon my caution, as this intelligence could only be fully confirmed today, so I couldn’t convey the specific details to the Fire Fox Supervisor! But I’m a bit puzzled… the Fire Fox Supervisor didn’t seem to inform you about this matter? And… where is the Heavenly King Commander of the vanguard army?”
“Why haven’t I even seen the shadow of a Winged Knight until now?” Rommel suspiciously pursed his lips in all directions, then stared straight at Valdeniel.
Even now, seeing no Demon Clan masters come out to oppose the four Hell Black Dragons, with Rommel’s shrewdness, it was naturally certain that this seemingly mighty Demon Clan army didn’t have masters holding the line.
This was somewhat unusual.
“This…” Valdeniel understandably wouldn’t be frank about the whereabouts of the Heavenly King’s throne to an insider whose origins were still unknown, but with the keen intuition of a top advisor, he still sensed something was amiss.
After the disastrous defeat in the last Holy War, the Demon World’s staff department established a dedicated infiltration agency a thousand years ago, successfully turning the Valenbuer Bat People of the Aegean Continent, providing them with substantial funds to help these bat people, who were mercilessly suppressed by the human Holy Vatican, gradually gain high positions in the Dorott Duchy.
If the situation continued in that direction, after the Demon Clan army entered the Aegean, the Donau Wasteland and the strategic pass of the human world could be easily conquered, which would play a crucial role in establishing a stable rear base and logistics base for the Demon Clan strategy at the Primitive Ancient Origin.
But starting this year, years of effort by the infiltration agency turned into bubbles overnight.
After the Valenbuer Bat People’s insider identity was uncovered, the Aegean Humans destroyed the bats’ stronghold, and the insider liaison work, long managed by the bat people, was suddenly paralyzed.
Back then, the ‘Space-Time Rift’ hadn’t opened yet, so the relevant personnel in the infiltration agency couldn’t establish direct contact with insiders like Hainaga and the Desert People through the bone-linked treasure boxes prearranged by the bat people.
In the aftermath when pursuing the responsibility of the infiltration agency, many militaristic and zealous generals believed that instead of investing heavily in buying insiders, it would be better to award these funds to the soldiers of the army!
Even without insiders, the powerful Demon Clan army could still sweep across the Aegean Continent!
This theory received overwhelming support at the time, and even a cautious top advisor like Valdeniel agreed it was indeed aligned with reality.
Farmers know not to put all their eggs in one basket; after nearly a thousand years of efforts and huge investments of manpower and resources by the infiltration agency, in the end losing everything due to the bat people was utterly absurd.
If Valdeniel’s memory served him right, after losing its function and existential meaning, the infiltration agency was immediately disbanded and merged into the logistics section of the staff department. The involved personnel, who were not dismissed, should all be tending pigs on a farm now.
In the Demon Clan army, bypassing the chain of command with reports is the most forbidden of taboos, so even if the former infiltration department personnel, after the ‘Space-Time Rift opened’, contacted insiders through the coordinates left by the bat people, they would have to report layer by layer to their superiors for handling.
The early opening of the ‘Space-Time Rift’ caught the entire Demon World off guard; the deployment this time, already somewhat unprepared for rebelling against the Wolf Cavalry’s counterattack, required the staff department’s advisors to handle a large volume of documents daily. Coupled with a top-down dismissive attitude towards the enemy and the infiltration agency’s uninspiring track record, if not for this insider with the codename ‘Fire Fox’ reaching out proactively, Valdeniel firmly believed it would take at least another half month to receive a relevant report.
This wasn’t just bureaucratic red tape, but a necessary protocol to follow.
If this insider named ‘Fire Fox’ didn’t request an in-person presentation but directly explained to the contact person what the so-called ‘significant secret capable of eliminating the Aegean Continent’s high-end mage force’ was about, all departments, no matter the size, wouldn’t dare delay in escalating this information!
But he didn’t clarify, not even daring to confirm the accuracy of this intelligence, leaving no choice to the various levels of command who wouldn’t rush eight hundred miles on an unverified message— to put it plainly, the so-called ‘significant secret capable of eliminating the Aegean Continent’s high-end mage force’ sounded a bit unreliable!
From the rational perspective of a senior staff member, Valdeniel could understand the dilemmas faced by this ‘Fire Fox’. His intelligence could only be fully confirmed today, indeed making it impossible to provide in advance. Such a major event also had to be personally presented to a senior commander like the Six-winged Heavenly King, such rigorous and cautious conduct is truly commendable.
But… this is ‘a significant secret capable of eliminating the Aegean Continent’s high-end mage force’!
The very thought made Valdeniel feel his scalp tingle.
If this intelligence proves false, then let it be; but if it’s true, those imbeciles from the former infiltration agency now feeding pigs on the farm and all commanders receiving the report would undoubtedly be pushed to the guillotine!
“Chief of Staff…” Rommel looked at this fear-stricken knight whose face alternated between green and white, finding it difficult to determine how to continue the conversation despite his brilliant mind.
“Fire Fox, I’m sorry, I can’t temporarily reach the Heavenly King. Please give me some time, I need to inform His Excellency the Witch King.” Valdeniel took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry!” Rommel quickly added: “Currently, a Berserker army belonging to me is confronting your Holy War vanguard army’s air force near Tanggula Pass. Although I dispatched four Giant Dragons there to oversee the situation, I’m concerned that a long night might bring more dreams, leading to unnecessary bloodshed between the parties. So, I kindly ask the Chief of Staff to quickly notify the General responsible for commanding the air force, allowing my troops to pass safely.”
“What… you even have four Giant Dragons under your command?” Valdeniel gaped, the bone-linked treasure box slipping weakly from his hand, falling to the ground.
“Yes!” Rommel gazed distantly at the endless, mist-shrouded Southern Cross Star Forest, urging anxiously: “Chief of Staff, please hurry up, I’m afraid the opportunity won’t last; this time, we must seize the fish’s benefits!”
