Chapter Nine Hundred and Thirtieth up for Sale
"In this way, my background will be exposed." Allen reminded: "I was in the mountain city, but I beheaded Reckerd with a single knife. Afterwards, I killed the commander of the foreign army. Too ostentatious."
Edward shook his head and said, "It's okay. Don't you still plan to contact that man named Rein to pave the way for the north. I have already made an appointment with him. If there are really big figures behind him who can stand on the stage. Then your achievements will come from your own mouth If you come out, it would be more convincing to have the empire confirm it. Since you want to catch up with a big shot, then you have to show some strength that makes people admire, so that you can sell it for a price."
"It's as if I sold myself." Allen said unhappily, but after Edward's analysis, the previous entanglements disappeared: "Then I will tell you about the history of the mountain city, so that you Prepare a written report."
"All ears."
Allen thought about it, starting from the day he took Angter and set off. It was very detailed, interspersed with some of my own thoughts at the time, and based on Edward's original plan, various adjustments made depending on the situation and so on. These words fell into the ears of others, undoubtedly extremely long-winded and complicated, but lovely Edward did not show any impatience. In the study, one of them talked and the other listened. Two hours passed without knowing it.
Allen concluded the long talk with the punishment of the mercenary named Dalan. Edward was silent for a moment after listening. Allen ignored it, and stood directly in front of the map of the southern border. On the map, Edward used a red pen to circle large and small circles, no less than a hundred. These circles spread across several territories, a dozen large cities with a population of tens of thousands, and dozens of villages and towns with a population of hundreds of thousands. If these circles are connected with a line, it will be the net that Edward himself said. Under this net, everything is in Allen's sight.
Edward said behind him: "According to the information I have collected, lords everywhere have established their own intelligence systems. However, most of the lords' intelligence systems are not controlled by themselves, but rely more on some local information dealers. After all, Establishing an intelligence network under one's own control and cultivating outstanding and loyal spies requires a lot of time and money, especially the latter. That is not something a lord below the earl can afford, even if we are now, Supporting such an intelligence network is already the limit. If this network is to be expanded, ∈style_txt; will exceed the range we can bear."
"In the past six months, my resources for Dark Blades have been much greater than those of Shanwang and Inch Fire. But even so, there are no more than three hundred Dark Blades currently available. For the convenience of management, I put The ranks inside the Dark Blade have been adjusted accordingly, and the ranks are divided into five levels from top to bottom: Dark Gold, Gold, Silver Blade, Copper Blade, and Iron Blade. At present, the lowest level of Iron Blade has the most people, with about 200 people There are 20 bronze blades and 5 silver blades. Only Belmode can be qualified for the golden blade. As for the dark gold position, it is currently vacant. It only depends on whether Belmode will be promoted or other brilliant assassins will be introduced in the future. "
"This is what I want to talk to you about, Belmode, I hope he can fully intervene in the operation of the Dark Blade,
I'm going to hand over this espionage system to him. As for the assassins you need in the north, I transferred two silver blades from the dark blade. Naturally, the combat power cannot be compared with Belmode, but it is enough to spy on the news. How about it? "
Allen nodded and said: "Your arrangement is very suitable, and I can't always keep Belmode by my side. It's time to let him take care of himself."
Edward said with a "hmm": "Now the Mountain King has Broy, Willick is in charge of the Crusaders, Inch Fire has Udi, Dark Blade is in charge of Belmode, and the regular army is handed over to Roy. This is our structure." As long as the armed system has been developed, it only needs to continue to grow in the future, and there is no need to add other new troops. After the maximum two tank assembly lines you bring are put into use, select suitable candidates from these troops to form a new army. Just an armored division."
Allen said sincerely: "I was really lucky to be able to bring you to Paradise Star back then. Otherwise, I really don't know where to find someone like you who can manage the overall situation in the rear for me."
"Stop talking about these nasty words, don't think that lying to me will make me work for nothing without paying wages." Edward snorted.
Allen laughed. When he joined the hunting group, each member signed a contract with Allen in accordance with federal regulations, which involved service time and salary. Especially mercenaries like Belmode and Roy, but with the expansion of Allen's influence on Paradise Star, let alone an important second-in-command like Edward, the remuneration Roy and the others have received is far higher than what is stipulated in the contract. salary involved.
When Alan returned to the floating island this time, he also made a special trip to the mercenary market and paid Belmode and their boss enough liquidated damages to allow the two men to develop freely. Belmode is already Alan's follower, so he naturally stays on Paradise Star unconditionally. And Roy, a man, has no plans to return to Earth. In his words, he has a fulfilling life on Paradise, so he will continue to manage the regular army for Allen.
Allen's rewards to them are also rich enough. Take Edward as an example, the property that this Maritan can control now is not much different from that of an imperial baron. And as long as Allen continues to expand, their wealth will also rise with the tide.
Edward paused, and said, "After listening to what you said just now, I was actually thinking about one thing."
"What's up?"
"The Shadow Principality and the Balegon Empire have been at odds for a long time. As you know, the two countries have turned against each other. The first confrontation is not the regular army, but the intelligence systems of both sides. Infiltration and reverse osmosis, assassination and anti-assassination, that kind of war without gunpowder Sometimes they are more cruel and cold-blooded. But due to the different races, obviously neither of these two countries can send spies to the enemy country. They can only rely on buying people like Reckerd to play the role of espionage operations. Even if they use this method, The harvest is also extremely limited. After all, those core figures in the empire’s political circle are not so easy to be bought, and secondly, they should be under the surveillance of the empire’s intelligence network.” Edward smiled and said: “The Principality of Shadows is very important to Balegon. In this way, it will be a hundred times more difficult for the latter to infiltrate the foreign race. Now the Shadow Principality is using the mountain city to quietly gather troops, which is obviously the empire's plan. I think it will not be long before the war between the two sides will start again. And from the foreign race's actions this time Look, they gave up their previous tactics of pressing into the empire from the north, and instead went around to the south of the empire, hoping to use this area where the military power is not too strong as an insertion point to attack the empire.”
"If that's the case, then we..." Allen frowned.
"That's right, if the Shadow Principality really has such a plan, then we will be the first to be affected. Therefore, it is very important to have information about the Shadow Principality. Speaking of infiltration, due to racial issues, it is also difficult for the Dark Blade to do so. But we have advantages that the empire does not have..." Edward stopped short.
Allen was not stupid, and said with a smile: "You have taken a fancy to Hubble."
"Actually, I'm also very surprised. What method did you use to abduct a Cato man, and even if the big man is left in the Federation, he is still at the level of a major general. In our small place, the superficial level is stable. I'm crushing you."
"Hubble is indeed a suitable candidate, but I don't think he can be a good spy. It's not bad for him to be a fierce general. Most of the intelligence activities he can't do."
"Of course, but I don't need him to be competent for such complicated espionage work. All I need is for him to infiltrate the Shadow Principality and report back the truthful events he saw and heard every once in a while." Edward said lightly: "The most brilliant spy My son does not need to hear the important news of the military aircraft, but can deduce the general outline of the incident from some changes in the market as clues. Besides, I did not expect to know the secret information of the alien race, I just need to know before they take action. It is enough to detect it in advance, so that we have enough time to respond."
"In a word, when war is inevitable, there are two completely different things between rushing to fight and preparing for war with all your strength."
"Okay, then I'll go to the Bright Leaders to talk to Hubble. If possible, you can prepare a lot of wine for me first." Allen emphasized.
Edward readily agreed.
After a long talk with Edward, Allen returned to his room. He freshened up, changed into a set of comfortable clothes, and then sat quietly to exercise his source power. That day on Idahua Star, he was influenced by the Heart of the Stars when he advanced to the stage, he aroused the source power of the Void, and he was the most violent and domineering Void Skyfire. Even the fire of heaven entered the body, cleansing one's own source power and circuit, and walking out of an unprecedented path like a reborn.
Originally, according to the growth route of the source power system, no one below the ruler can sense the source power of the void, and before the ruler, they all focus on developing their own source power. Once it is expected to break through the thirtieth level and advance to the rank of ruler, it will be sensitive to the source of the void. At this time, it is possible to extract the source power of the void and gradually assimilate it, or replace its own source power.
Even the Emperor Void Skyfire, who left a splendid mark in history on Star Idahua, could not skip this rule. He only sensed the existence of the void source power after he was promoted to the rank of ruler, and triggered the Skyfire. With the sky fire falling down the waterfall, the supreme power of thousands of waterfalls forming the sea has achieved the great reputation of the void sky fire that has run through the entire era.
The sky fire was also aroused, but Alan skipped this rule, and the awakened person who was promoted by fate caused the sky fire to fall. Even if there is no sea of waterfalls, after all, a pure ray of fire from the sky can be snatched from the void. Looking at the entire universe, at the level of the awakened, Yuanli is as much stronger as a fish crossing a river. But if you only talk about the quality of the source force, no one can match it.
