Chapter 507 Intelligence On The Stronghold

After capturing a member of the Truth Department alive, he tactfully cooperated with Lu Yu and told him everything he knew.

“I’m an external member, so I don’t know much inside information. The Truth Department predicted that someone might be captured from the beginning, so information is divided into levels.”

“So, everything you know is at the lowest level?” Lu Yu asked.

“Although I don’t know much, they are all very useful!” He explained hurriedly.

Lu Yu nodded. “Go on.”

“Where should I start?”

“Let’s start with your stronghold, which is the mine,” Lu Yu reminded him.

“The mine that excavates Claine Crystal? No problem; that mine is just below the mountain in front.”

“Do you see the mountains in front? The mine is located in a basin in the mountains, and beautiful crystals are everywhere, which the Truth Department is mining.”

Lu Yu looked at the snow-capped mountains in front of him and found that they were endless and surrounded by deep mountains.

“Do you know a lot about the Claine Crystals?”

The team leader took a deep breath and answered, “This is of great origin. This crystal was named after a person.

“Claine? That’s a rare name.”

“That’s right; he’s a lord from ancient times, Lord Claine!”

“These crystals were all created by him alone. Furthermore, it is said that he is still in a deep sleep. The entire world will be flipped on its head when he awakens!”

He spoke with a threatening tone.

“Go on,” Lu Yu said impatiently, “tell me about the situation of the Truth Department in the mine.”

At the moment, the most crucial thing for Lu Yu was the intelligence of the Truth Department. After all, this was the enemy he would fight next, and it would be easier if he knew more about their enemy.

“That mine is just a stronghold of the Truth Department. A captain manages the stronghold, and several teams are under him.”

“However, the overall number of them is small. Most of the excavators are captured slaves.”

“The captain is a man named Liao Xie. The total number of people under him does not exceed 50.”

Lu Yu laughed. “What an evil-sounding name. His name alone doesn’t sound like a good person!”

“That person was originally called Liao Zheng, but he changed his name since he thought it sounded more menacing this way.”

Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems that he is clear about his position.”

“The number of people in this stronghold is quite small.” Lu Yu sighed. There were only 50 people in such a large stronghold, which was too little for him.

Even if there were slave miners to work and the rest just managed the mine, this number of people was far from enough. Of course, it was also possible that the mine was small, to begin with.

“That stronghold only has 50 people. Isn’t that too few?” Wang Meng asked curiously.

“It’s fewer than 50 people, probably a little over 40,” Xu Yuan added.

“That’s even worse!”

Wang Meng sighed with a confused look.

Lu Yu looked at the leader and continued to ask, “This mine is supposed to be important, right? Why are there only so few people guarding it?”

“Could it be that those people are all very strong?”

The team leader shook his head. “Of course not. How could the main force of the Truth Department be here?”

“They handed it over to so few people because it’s easy to manage. With fewer people, the news is less likely to be leaked.”

“The second is that they have someone powerful working for them. Even if a large number of enemies attack, they can still defend the mine!”

Lu Yu looked at him curiously and asked, “Someone to fight for them? Where did they get someone like that from?”

“Sealed in the mine are Lord Claine’s former subordinates. One has now awakened and is serving the Truth Department.”

Lu Yu scratched his head with both hands, feeling a little puzzled. “A subordinate of the ancient overlord has now awakened and is serving the Truth Department?”

“Isn’t this a little ridiculous?”

“That’s all I know, but I can guarantee it’s all true!”

For a moment, more questions popped up, which made Lu Yu curious.

What was going on in this secret realm? Why were they all waking up one after another?

Lu Yu stared at him carefully and asked, “That’s all you know?”

He quickly raised his hand and swore, “I swear, I’ve already told you everything I know! There’s not a single lie!”

“Then tell me, did you hunt someone recently? He has a pet that is a golden lizard!”

Lu Yu took a step forward and grabbed his collar.

The leader looked at Lu Yu nervously. He gulped but still told him the truth. “There is such a person, but she is from the Lionheart Empire. She has nothing to do with you.”

“She’s a girl. In the process of capturing her, she struggled too hard, so…”

He did not continue, but Lu Yu could already guess the outcome.

He looked at Lu Yu and said awkwardly, “Brother, I don’t think you’re from the Lionheart Empire, so you don’t have to worry about their lives.”

Lu Yu let go of him and gave Wang Meng a look.

“Thank you, brother. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll be leaving now.”

He turned around and was about to leave, thinking that Lu Yu had let him go.

However, the next moment, Wang Meng’s blade was aimed at his neck!

Squelch!

The sharp blade cut the man’s carotid artery, and blood spurted out. He looked at Wang Meng in horror and then fell to the ground with a thud.

“This bastard, killing him with one strike is letting him off easy!” Wang Meng cursed and even stepped on him.

“Lu Yu, what should we do next?” Xu Yuan came to Lu Yu’s side.

“According to this guy’s words, if we continue moving forward, we will come to a tunnel. After going through the tunnel, we must go deep into the mountains to reach a basin. There is an open-air mine there.”

Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the towering, snowy mountains. The snowy mountains penetrated the clouds, and the white snow reflected the sunlight, which was dazzling.

“It’ll be difficult to climb the mountain. Let’s go through the tunnel.”

Lu Yu said as he continued to walk forward while Xu Yuan and the others followed behind.

“Their defense might not be strong. After all, there are only about forty of them. They have been relying on concealment to survive all this time, so if we charge them head-on, it shouldn’t be too difficult to take over their stronghold.”

Xu Yuan continued to analyze. “The main issue is that they have helpers. The subordinate of Lord Claine is probably our main enemy.”

“That’s right. Since that’s the case, we must be prepared for a great battle!”

“Once we take over this mine, we’ll be strong in the future!”

If they could take down this mine, Lu Yu and the others could easily connect to their main world!

At that time, even if he brought Jiang Lengyue over, it wouldn’t be a problem. However, this would be against the rules and wouldn’t be easy to achieve.

However, these crystals were all rare goods. Just by trading the crystals with other teams, they could exchange them for a lot of resources!
