Under such circumstances, many leaflets suddenly appeared. Even the nobles who were responsible for managing the wealthy areas would not immediately think of suspicion. Instead, they would think that other people in the wealthy areas were hiding the leaflets. After all, they relied on contacting them.
The Merlox Empire made its fortune in smuggling and was inextricably linked to the Merlox Empire. Under such circumstances, it was not too surprising to join the Merlox Empire.
"The Judgment Knights probably collected thousands of leaflets from the small inner city...but in fact, the number of leaflets that actually flowed into the inner city was less than one-tenth of that number."
Seeing the shocked and admirable expressions of his subordinates, Germain just flipped the dagger in his hand casually: "You rookies, you still have a lot to learn..."
I think back then, Germain relied on trickery and abduction to survive. If he hadn't possessed the strength of a seventh-level thief, he would have been crushed by the aliens from the Changfeng Plain.
"It's almost time to send a message to the headquarters. No matter how slow the reaction of the people in the Lord's Mansion is, it's time to realize our existence now. We must be prepared for the next step."
In fact, Germain knew from a long time ago that he mainly did dirty work. If it were not for the trust of Chief Lancelot, he would have died long ago.
The Seventh Military Intelligence Bureau of ANBU is a comprehensive intelligence department that operates to maintain the security of the homeland. However, in many cases, the security of the homeland needs to be maintained by the enemy's insecurity. However, not all confrontations can be carried out on the table. Those
What's going on under the surface is the ANBU's mission.
What is a just cause for the Melox Empire must be evil for the enemy. Assassination, poisoning, destabilizing and dividing the enemy's internal affairs, stealing and lurking are the norm.
Of course, intelligence work does not necessarily have to be so extremely bloody. A lot of flowing information published on the surface is also an important source of intelligence for the dark side. However, when the confrontation enters a fierce stage, the work methods will inevitably become bloody.
But Germain doesn't care much about this. All this is for the empire. He only knows that as long as the empire becomes stronger and stronger, and the people's lives get better and better, it is enough.
Tensions erupted in the main city of Andernus.
Various rumors are constantly spreading in the city. The civilians who have accumulated huge pressure from hunger and panic seem to have lost their minds, forgotten the power of professionals, and began to frequently communicate in various dark corners.
.
Every night, after the professionals and soldiers patrolling the town leave, chilling footsteps will be heard in the corners of the musty alleys in the outer city.
When the sun rises, bold slogans directly attacking the inner city appear in certain corners of the outer city.
The bold and provocative behavior in the outer city successfully aroused Neumann's anger. He sent out wave after wave of investigation teams. Originally, the small team acted to judge the knights, but now they began to act independently, but with a large number of professionals around them.
It seems more powerful, but the actual efficiency and results are even worse.
They did not search for evidence, but went directly to the door, questioned or even directly interrogated anyone they suspected. People were constantly being taken away from their homes suddenly, and many were already corpses when they were returned.
However, even though the Judgment Knights and professionals were exhausted, patrolling the streets and alleys day and night to arrest, the limited manpower could not even cover one-third of the outer city, let alone complete the patrol.
These tired professionals did not realize that in some of the neighborhoods they passed, there were hundreds or even thousands of militiamen with rifles staring at them. However, their superiors did not give the order to fire, so they kept silent.
In the inner city, the situation also went from bad to worse. The divisions among the great nobles had almost become an open fact. More and more great nobles began to refuse to carry out the orders from the lord's palace.
A group of great nobles even openly questioned the authority of the lord Neumann, and the old master-level powerhouse was not from the Neumann family, which put Neumann in a very embarrassing situation.
As the saying goes, to become a great teacher is to fail.
Because there is a strong master at the level of Grand Master, it is difficult to cause chaos in the inner city. However, precisely because of the transcendent existence of a strong master at the Grand Master level, Neumann cannot establish absolute force and guarantee the authority of the lord.
In this situation, the only thing Neumann can do is to maintain balance.
Under such a tense and high-pressure situation, more and more flyers continue to appear in the city, even in the inner city.
"The enemy has sneaked in! Everything that is happening in the inner city now is deliberately instigated by them, and a lot of the news is also fabricated by them. The purpose is to make us suspicious of each other and divide us!"
In an urgent meeting, Neumann waved his arms and shouted loudly with red eyes. This aristocratic old gentleman known for his stability and majesty lost his usual calmness at this moment. Faced with such a low-minded person like Merlocks,
He was filled with anger because of his indiscriminate moves.
The only thing that puzzled him was why there were so many people lurking into Andnus, but there was no response from the church.
"We have sent all the Judgment Knights and professionals to the outer city, and we are collecting a large number of leaflets every day."
An earl stood up and said: "We still..."
"It's useless!" Neumann interrupted the count unceremoniously.
"Those flyers appeared faster than we burned them, and now they are deeply rooted in people's hearts. Many people have seen them. There is no point in continuing to collect them!"
"The enemy's spies are lurking in the city, and we must find a way to catch them."
A Judgment Knight with a white cloak embroidered with a cross pattern stood up. He was Carewyn, the leader of all Judgment Knights.
"They are very good at hiding and blending into the crowd. All unfamiliar faces are worthy of suspicion..."
"Among the unfamiliar faces are those who have joined the profession and the descendants of nobles, as well as their vassals and followers."
Another earl stood up and interrupted Carewyn.
"They are located in the areas currently being patrolled by the Knights' patrol team. Do these people also need to be investigated?"
The Judgment Knight's voice was as cold as winter: "It's all doubtful. Maybe the enemy got into the city by mixing among them."
This is the reason why the Knights of Judgment have always been disliked by the nobles. They are too 'realistic'.
Neumann knocked on the table: "We are playing into the enemy's plot. What they want is for us to split."
A group of noble representatives fell into a commotion, and a gloomy and tense atmosphere lingered in the hall.
In the unbearable suffocating atmosphere, Neumann finally spoke again.
