"What are you doing?!" Simining's face was livid. The officers standing on both sides of him did not dare to raise their heads to meet his cold eyes. They only heard Simining's roar.
Echoing in this already gloomy room: "Such a simple task, see for yourselves how well you have accomplished it?! Have your heads been replaced by mountain beasts?!
"
"My subordinates personally led several capable assistants to handle this matter. I didn't dare to lie to others. These situations were all witnessed by my subordinates. There are absolutely no mistakes." said the man standing to the left of Simining.
The officer bravely raised his head and muttered a reply to Simining. He cast his eyes on the officer standing on the right and said quietly but clearly: "Could it be them from the third group?"
…”
"Lord Nirebi, what do you mean by this?!" The officer on the right did not dare to reply to Simining's reprimand, and now he was all angry at this Lord Nirebi.
He straightened his body and shouted loudly: "You personally led the team, am I just lazy?! No one dares to mess around with the things that your Excellency has handed down. The situations and analyzes written in the report handed over to Your Excellency will also be ignored."
I made it myself, and there is absolutely nothing fake about it!"
"Okay." Simining got angry and sighed a little frustrated: "You two, are you still ready to have a fight here?!"
"I don't dare!" Both officers saluted at the same time, bowed and returned to their original positions, but the moment their eyes met, the room was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Alas!" Simining let out a long sigh again. Looking at the two situation analyzes and reports with completely opposite contents in his hands, he felt helpless in his heart.
This intelligence unit, which is responsible for spying on the big and small developments in the imperial capital, was originally a special intelligence team under the Royal Guards of the Sakara Empire. The leaders of several groups of the guard were also appointed by Simining.
After becoming captains of the guards, they were promoted after numerous assessments. Simining was also very aware of their abilities. His anger just now was just a way of venting his helplessness to his inner circle.
The Intelligence Detachment is an intelligence collection and analysis system that began to appear shortly after the founding of the Sakara Empire. After so many years of hard work, the tentacles of this system have long spread throughout the empire. Link and the others can receive such timely information along the way.
The feedback from the ground was returned to the Imperial Capital and reached the ears of Norton III. The Insider Guards also played a big role in this.
And in the capital of the Sakara Empire, the headquarters of the Inside Guards, the potential power of the Inside Guards is even greater than anyone can imagine. Even the current captain of the Imperial Guard, Si Mining, and even
In fact, it is impossible for King Norton III of the Sakara Empire to fully understand. After all, over the years, the officers and staff of the Inside Guards have penetrated into every corner of the imperial capital, playing a role in it.
With various identities, such a huge and complex secret agency, no one can tell how powerful it is.
As for Link's surveillance, in fact, ever since the Insider Guards began to notice them, there had been constant news coming back along the way. And when Link and the others entered the capital of the Sakara Empire, although Si
After personal testing, Master Mining felt that Link and the others did not have much strength, and it was not worth investing much effort to detect them. However, Norton III held completely opposite opinions on this, and finally in Norton
Following the instructions of the Third World, Master Simining personally found the leaders of the two most elite teams of the Insider Guards and assigned them to be responsible for monitoring Link's situation.
This is also a tradition that has been continued for a long time by the Intelligence Squadron. When encountering a crucial incident, two or more teams are always arranged to conduct surveillance separately.
, they are not subordinate to each other, they each work independently and analyze independently, and then submit their respective situation reports and analyzes to the captain of the guard.
After all, everyone has their own unique monitoring techniques, and even if they are faced with the same situation, everyone will have their own customary views and perspectives, and will focus on different aspects of analysis. The reason why in
When encountering important events, it is necessary to arrange two or more teams for monitoring, hoping to comprehensively judge from all aspects, so as to grasp as comprehensively as possible all the information about the things that need to be understood.
In the Intelligence Guard, this kind of monitoring method has been rarely used over the years, especially in the imperial capital. Since Norton III came to the throne, in the impression of these new generation team leaders, it has almost never been used.
There is nothing worth taking so seriously. After all, the tentacles of the Intelligence Guards have spread all over every corner of the imperial capital. It is already extremely simple to obtain any kind of information. There is really no
They encountered so many embarrassing things in the imperial capital that they felt there was a need to go all out.
Therefore, when Simining just assigned the task to the two team leaders, although those two of his capable men did not dare to say anything, Simining could still feel that they knew how to dispatch them.
They were a little unhappy for doing such a trivial thing, but Simining just warned them casually. After all, even in his own mind, he somewhat agreed with these two people.
In the opinion of his subordinates, Norton III did make a fuss out of a molehill this time.
After all, the Intelligence Squadron's monitoring of Link and his group didn't just start today. News has been coming back from them all the way. It seems that monitoring these people is not very difficult at all.
things.
When explaining this matter to the two team leaders, Simining had already told them all the previous news, and from this, the two team leaders were even more knowledgeable about the task they took over.
They don't like it. In their opinion, most of the real elites and main forces of the Inside Guards are concentrated in the imperial capital. Since the Inside Guards along the way can easily obtain information about Link and the others.
, then within the imperial capital, this is an extremely easy thing.
But precisely because of this, the two team leaders personally took charge of the battle. This was not only because this matter was ordered by Norton III, but also because Simining gave the key instructions, and it also meant that they were working hard.
Thinking about all the data and analysis being done properly, both Norton III and Simining were speechless.
But just when the two team leaders took their elites to replace the peripheral personnel who had stayed near Link's temporary residence, things they didn't expect happened one after another.
.
First of all, after taking over the peripheral personnel who were scattered around Link's temporary residence, the elites of the Insider Guards were about to prepare for action, but before they had time to approach Link's temporary residence, they
When I was there, I was suddenly knocked unconscious by everyone without missing a beat.
You must know that this temporary residence of Link and his friends was actually the residence of a certain prince with the title of king in the imperial capital. Although it seems a bit deserted, that is probably because the residence itself is too large. In fact
After so many years, there is not much truly deserted space in the area where the nobles of the imperial capital gather. After the first day of the Great Nations Meeting ended and the small noble merchants came back first, Link and the others came to visit.
Outside the residence, there is already a lot of traffic and excitement. The tentacles of the Inside Guards have already extended to every corner of the imperial capital. Of course, there is no shortage of strongholds here. Those who are now occupied by the elites of the two groups
The replacement peripheral personnel, including the noble merchants here and some residents, would never be discovered by others. Even the elites who were preparing to approach Link's residence had various reasons.
The reasons and names were absolutely inconspicuous. The two team leaders believed that even the native nobles of the Imperial City who had lived here for many years would not be able to notice anything strange about them, let alone Link and the others.
A group of outsiders who just entered the city yesterday.
Therefore, when the report came, the two team leaders who came to the command post closest to Link's residence really couldn't believe their ears. What made them most incredible was that those people they
After the elites woke up, when they talked about the situation when they were knocked unconscious, there were all kinds of things, and none of them were really accurate.
Some people said that they saw Link knocking them unconscious, and some said that the person who took action was clearly Count Weir. Then someone jumped out and said that the person he saw taking action was clearly a woman. Judging from the attire, she should be
Some of the waitresses next to the little princess even swore that he saw the attacker's face. After comparing it with the portrait, he could definitely confirm that the person who attacked was the golden little princess of the Bavaria Empire. What's exaggerated is that,
Someone said that he suddenly saw a big tree growing up on a busy street, and then it fell down and knocked him unconscious!
Of course, the most powerful one was the guy who woke up at the end. He actually told his superiors that he saw the moon suddenly falling and was so frightened that he fainted!
The elves' ability to hide, the earth wolf's earth-moving talent, and the earth wolf's ability to create a full moon illusion in a short period of time after being fused with the divine enlightener's energy light group, combined to achieve this.
The effect was enough to make the two groups fall into contradictory confusion at the same time after hearing the situation.
The powerful men among the ancient intelligent races such as the Yuan Yue clan and the Elf clan are themselves existences that completely surpass the existing knowledge system on the continent. The earth wolf after integrating the energy light group of the Divine Enlightener of the Yuan Yue clan is
Needless to say, even Bazhu, after entering into that specious natural contract with Link, has a lot of potential that even she herself has not been able to fully explore, and these elites of the Inside Guards, working
They were not originally meant to charge into battle, so their advantage over ordinary people was just in their clear minds and sharp eyes and ears. There were no real strong people among them, and they had no ability to deal with the sneak attack of the female elf Bazhu and the earth wolf.
resistance ability.
Just as these two team leaders were worrying about the sudden shortage of manpower, they were also hesitating whether they should assign a new round of manpower to the strongholds of the Intelligence Guards scattered around Link and his temporary residence.
During the process, they suddenly discovered to their shock that there was also something wrong with the information conveyed by the personnel placed by the Intelligence Squadron at Link's temporary residence.
Originally out of concern for Link and the others, Simining had already placed eyes and ears all over the mansion that was determined to be the temporary residence of Link and the others before Link and the others entered the imperial capital, but now these channels seem to have begun to ignore it.
Used.
First, the waitress next to the princess summoned all the servants in the mansion and announced a new rule, that is, because her master likes to be quiet, if anyone approaches their residence without being summoned for any reason.
She would severely punish those who were within fifty steps of those rooms. As a result, at the end of the day, some informants and some servants with bad memories were severely beaten by this fierce young lady.
butt.
Although Link and the others did not prohibit the actions of the servants in the mansion, several informants responsible for liaison routinely came to the special contact point to prepare to deliver the daily situation report.
But none of them could wait for the contact person who was supposed to appear, because the contact persons sent by the two groups to receive the information were all inexplicably knocked unconscious in a certain street or alley.
Things have developed to such an extent that no matter how reluctant the two team leaders are in their hearts, they dare not underestimate the task this time and the group of people they want to monitor. They send people to infiltrate inside and wait for temporary
It seemed unrealistic for the informants in the residence to send out the news, and their work suddenly fell into an unsolvable deadlock. Fortunately, the two team leaders discovered in time that Link and Earl Weir
None of them were law-abiding guys. They didn't stay in the mansion for long before they started wandering around separately. So the two leaders of the inside guard team, who had already realized the difficulty of this task, immediately decided to lead the team in person.
, to follow Link and Earl Weir, and their current dispute originated from this.
Because now in the minds of these two team leaders, the evaluation of Link and his group has undergone earth-shaking changes. Therefore, when tracking Link and Earl Weir, they are cautious all the way and rely on
With strongholds set up everywhere, they are constantly collecting the whereabouts of Link and Weir. Of course, the so-called personal leadership of these two team leaders does not mean that they are tracking them personally. They just keep coming.
They personally took command from the stronghold closest to Link's whereabouts. This was not because the two team leaders were showing any official airs. It was just that they still felt a little guilty when they remembered what happened to the original group of elites. If they were also like
If those elites were knocked unconscious like that, they would no longer be able to survive in the Intelligence Guard.
The results of this form of monitoring seem to be quite satisfactory. At least neither Link nor Weir seemed to have found these trackers along the way, and they were allowed to follow them all the way from going out to returning home. This check made this
The two team leaders breathed a sigh of relief. This also meant that they had not gained nothing, and they still had something to share.
But just when they were sorting out the report information from Link and the others, the two team leaders began to have a headache again, because the information seemed to have no problems individually, but when analyzed together, there were many mistakes and omissions.
There are a lot of mistakes. For example, Link and Will clearly walked separately and did not seem to meet each other on the way. However, in a report from an informant in a store selling local specialties, it was clearly recorded that Link and Will entered the store together.
They picked things and then went out together. However, the spy guarding the door only saw Weir alone, and did not see Link go in at all, let alone see him come out.
There are many similar problems, and the difference between them is less than a blink of an eye. Both records indicate that Link's appearance was seen, but the distance between the two eyelines is extremely different, and there is a gap in the middle.
In a bustling city, even if you are flying directly, such a situation is unlikely to happen.
The two team leaders had no choice but to add, delete or make selections on some things in the materials, and comprehensively analyzed all aspects, hoping to find a relatively complete and reasonable monitoring route. The records and information obtained from the two aspects are in
There are too many differences in details, which resulted in the reports that the two groups of personnel handed over to Mr. Simining today. It was as if the objects they were monitoring were not the same at all, contradicting each other and even
Completely opposite descriptions abound, which is why Lord Simining got angry just now.
"I can't blame you. I underestimated them too much." Mr. Simining waved his hand casually and said, "You just have to cheer up!"
Of course, Si Mining also knew that the performance of the two team leaders just now was to a large extent just trying to shirk responsibility from each other, but now he did not want to take them seriously. After all, just based on the situations they reported, Si Mining
Mining also knew that the Bavarian Empire's envoy was definitely not simple, and he himself had tried it himself, but also got nothing. This is no wonder the two team leaders.
I can only regret that there are so many things that are difficult to distinguish between true and false in these reported materials. Not only does it not help to see the true face of this mission clearly, but it actually creates more problems!
"By the way," the captain standing on Simining's left, as if he remembered something, hurriedly came forward to claim credit and said, "There is also the latest news, which seems to be of great value!"
"What's the news?" Simining asked casually, a little absent-mindedly.
"This was only revealed with difficulty when our team, an informant who was placed in their mansion, was buying things today," the team leader said, "He said that Link asked him to buy some gifts and prepare to visit Pamber at his door.
family!"
"The Pamber family?!" Simining suddenly stood up, a cold light flashing in his eyes!
