The system is a broken bowl

Chapter 261 Weird Horns

After listening to Qiu Zhe's narration, Song Chen couldn't help but frown. He had learned about the situation of the Longhu Pass defenders from Ling Zixuan. Although these guys were usually very lazy, they had never left the city gate without authorization.

Longhu Pass is a military city. Except for a thousand defenders, there are no merchants or ordinary people.

Each rotation period of the defenders is half a year, whether there is war or not. Once half a year is up, the next batch of 1,000 people will come to change the defense.

Usually, these defenders either stood guard on the city wall or stayed in the military camp, drinking and having fun, or gambling heavily. A few people missing, or even a dozen people, may not attract attention for a while, but hundreds of people missing, without counting the number of people, will also attract attention.

The laws of the Dashun Empire are strict, and if deserters occur, not only will the family be implicated, but the leading generals will also be held responsible. Now that there are hundreds of people missing all of a sudden, no wonder Qiu Zhe is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Song Chen also felt a little unbelievable, but since he had encountered it, of course he couldn't ignore it: "General Qiu, immediately order all the soldiers to gather on the city wall. Remember, don't leave anyone alone, at least three or five people." Let’s act together.”

Qiu Zhe hurriedly went to deliver the order, and Song Chen looked at Ge Li again: "Brother, please go and explore the outskirts of Longhu Pass. Leave the military camp to me."

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

Ge Li responded and immediately rushed outside the pass.

Song Chen released his consciousness and brought all the barracks under his control. Qiu Zhe was right. Including himself, there are only 890 people now, which is a full 110 people less.

Groups of soldiers gathered on the city wall one after another. Song Chen did not relax his vigilance and continued to scan every corner of the military camp with his powerful awareness.

In fact, Song Chen also suspected that someone wanted to kill his companions to claim the pension. However, it seems that this situation does not exist now, because apart from the existing 890 people, not a single body has been found, and there are no traces.

Soon, all 890 people came to the city wall.

"Master Song, there is no one in the military camp anymore."

Qiu Zhe said respectfully.

He only has a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Earth Silver Realm. Regardless of Song Chen's identity, he is respectful to him just because he is a strong man in the Condensing Yuan Realm.

Song Chen nodded and said, "General Qiu, is there any dungeon or secret room in Longhu Pass?"

"My lord, no! Soldiers make mistakes and are imprisoned in cages." Qiu Zhe replied.

Song Chen fell into deep thought, could this be the legendary evaporation from the world?

After a while, Ge Li came back: "Brother, everything is normal around here. No body was found, not even blood."

Now, the two land gods in the Ning Yuan Realm were helpless.

"General Qiu, I need detailed information on these missing soldiers."

Song Chen wanted to see if he could find any clues from the identities of these people.

"The generals have already counted them, and their information is all here."

Qiu Zhe presented a record to Song Chen.

Song Chen quickly grasped the situation of these missing soldiers at a glance. However, nothing was found. Almost none of these soldiers had any motive to defect. He had no choice but to focus his attention on the 890 people who survived.

"Ten of you, come out."

Song Chen asked ten of them to stand aside. "Now, please recall, when and where was the last time you saw the missing soldier? Tell us one by one."

The ten soldiers began to answer respectively.

Song Chen seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact he was catching the mental fluctuations of these ten people.

Soon, all 890 people came to the city wall.

"Sir Song, there is no one in the barracks."

Qiu Zhe said respectfully.

He only has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Earth Silver Realm. Putting aside Song Chen's identity, just based on the fact that he is a strong man in the Condensation Realm, he is respectful.

Song Chen nodded and said: "General Qiu, is there a dungeon or a secret room in Longhu Pass?"

"Sir, no! Soldiers who make mistakes are imprisoned in cages." Qiu Zhe replied.

Song Chen fell into deep thought. Could this be the legendary disappearance?

After a while, Ge Li came back: "Brother, everything is normal around, no body was found, not even blood."

Now, the two land immortals in the Condensation Realm have no way.

"General Qiu, I need detailed information about these missing soldiers."

Song Chen wanted to see if he could find any clues from the identities of these people.

"I have already counted them, and their information is here."

Qiu Zhe presented a record to Song Chen.

Song Chen read ten lines at a glance and quickly grasped the situation of these missing soldiers. However, he also found nothing. These soldiers had almost no motivation to defect. He had to focus his attention on the 890 survivors.

"You ten, step out."

Song Chen asked ten of them to stand aside. "Now recall when and where you last saw the missing soldiers? Speak one by one."

The ten soldiers began to answer one by one.

Song Chen seemed to be listening very seriously, but in fact he was capturing the mental fluctuations of these ten people.
