"This is the information the other party told us, and we have confirmed it repeatedly." The witch hunter handed Maya a thick stack of parchment in his hand, with an unfinished expression on his face.
"Don't be too bad, Master may still be useful." Maya said helplessly when she saw this.
Although these witch hunters have recast their bodies and gained more beautiful looks, their inner distortions have not improved much. In addition to their fanatical loyalty to their masters, they act without scruples. In addition, after learning from those ninjas, their methods are even more shocking.
It's hard for people to accept it. If you don't say more, who knows what the prisoner will become in the end.
"Okay, we will send the person back as he is." Wu Hunter smiled and nodded.
Does this mean it’s not the same now?
Maya did not continue to struggle, shook her head, and began to read the interrogation records that were sent.
Don't mention it, it's really detailed. From the year Harvey started remembering, many things he probably forgot he recalled under the pressure of the outside world, which is why he wrote so much.
Skipping some personal secrets, Maya is more concerned about which faction Harvey belongs to.
"It turned out to be someone from the Black Hand." Maya suddenly realized that she had dealt with the other party back then.
Raising assassins is a noble tradition, but there is a huge difference between professionalism and strength.
Harvey was one of the elite subordinates of the left little finger. He was sent to the Northland as a nail to serve as a front for the infiltration of the left hand intelligence organization. Unfortunately, he died before the mission was completed, which made the hero burst into tears.
Although the power of the Black Hand, which was separated from the control of the royal family, has been reduced a lot, its foundation is still there. In addition, there is no shortage of customers, and it has gradually developed into a huge organization with tentacles covering more than half of the empire.
"The Black Hand has a very deep cooperative relationship with most of the nobles in the empire, so they have a rule that they do not betray the information of local collaborators, although this rule is not absolute." Maya explained to Owen how the Black Hand operates.
Not to mention that once they cooperate, they are Party A and take the initiative.
The right hand is more focused on combat, and can provide professionals such as assassins, mercenaries, and guards. Therefore, although the power and manpower are not as good as those of the left hand, the strength can definitely overwhelm the opponent.
But Owen believed in Maya's vision. After all, she was the only person in the entire territory who had seen the big world.
It cannot be said that Harvey is a softie. The elite members of the Black Hand have received strict training. They are caught, tortured, and interrogated. These are the focus of training. If he falls into the hands of other nobles, you will see whether his performance is wonderful or not.
, but he couldn't stand it and what he encountered was a group of professional dead men and a group of witches with no bottom line. They repeatedly ravaged his body, soul, and will. What's even more frightening is that all kinds of powerful healing potions are as if they are free of charge.
.
However, because he specializes in combat, he is deficient in some aspects. Many businesses, logistics and intelligence are provided by the left hand, so the left hand is the main external force.
The black hand is divided into left and right hands, with two leaders in total. They are named after the left and right hands, and have five fingers respectively as leaders, covering a wide range of areas.
The Black Hand is a well-known old organization in the empire. It has dealings with most of the nobles. It is said that it was originally the emperor's white glove. Later, a certain emperor disappeared for no apparent reason. The princes regarded the imperial capital as a battlefield and fought for it for many years, even from various places.
The big nobles also listened to the instructions but did not listen to the announcement. It was at that time that the Black Hand took the opportunity to escape from the control of the royal family.
"Cooperate with the other party?" Owen was confused. After all, it was not a wise choice to actively introduce an intelligence organization into the territory.
And after receiving the blessings of various magic potions and props, even Owen couldn't figure out what they could do. After all, the territory was fine, and he didn't provoke anyone outside, and most of the people in the territory had no use for it.
"Since the Black Hand has sent personnel to the North, it means that they have already targeted this place. Killing the opponent has no effect, but it is easy to be targeted." Maya continued, which made Owen finally nod in agreement, because it didn't matter whether he was happy or not.
It is a foregone conclusion that the black hands will extend into the Northland. Instead of being on guard when the time comes, it is better to proactively seek cooperation.
It's okay to be turned into various small animals. He tolerated being cut into parts and glued back together, and it was not broken in the end. But feeding him that kind of medicine and studying cross-species bloodline reproduction and improvement are not things that humans can do.
To put it bluntly, it means bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The Black Hand is essentially responsible for doing dirty work for the local nobles, so unless it is given too much, it will not betray the information of local collaborators, because doing so is not conducive to the development and expansion of the organization's business scope.
Don't blame him for kneeling quickly, Harvey could swear that he would still kneel even if his superior's little finger fell into the hands of those perverted witches.
With this despair, no, with this awareness, it was not just Maya who believed whatever he said, but decisively betrayed the little finger above him and part of the organization's plan. At the same time, he secretly hated that his status was not high enough and that he had not betrayed thoroughly enough.
Since Maya values ninjas so much, Owen decided to strengthen the construction of the ninja team. When the time comes, cooperation with the Black Hand people will not be underestimated and let them have bad ideas. Strength has always been the most important foundation for peace, and the weak are not qualified to seek it.
Peace.
"Will the other party agree? The location of the territory is not very good, and the strength on the surface is not the strongest. Presumably the black hand will not cooperate with the weak, right?" Owen scratched his head, his scalp felt itchy due to excessive use of his brain, but
He still found some problems.
But generally speaking, the left hand is more interested in intelligence, as well as smuggling, stealing, and auctioning.
Especially since they were still discussing the monster girl training manual. Even if Harvey surrendered and died on his knees here, he would never let these perverted witches succeed.
"Master, you underestimate the ability and value of those ninjas." Maya couldn't help but remind her.
When Harvey walked out of the dungeon, he was in a daze. The moment he saw Owen, he cried. If he hadn't been stared at closely, he would have wanted to kneel down and hug Owen's thigh to show his loyalty.
The frontal combat effectiveness of ninjas is not very high, but they are professional in assassination. Especially after learning the breathing method, it not only increases the frontal combat ability, but also makes the assassination more deadly.
Of course, those witches are also very economical and will turn him into various small animals. They also use various cuts. Because of their size, they consume less potions. The problem is that the pain is not less.
Harvey was let go. He would serve as a bridge between the territory and the Black Hand, but before leaving, he had to lead Howard to Mara Town to extract the last bit of value.
"If Mara Town is captured, it cannot be abandoned, but there is a problem with who will guard it." Owen is not worried that Howard will not be able to capture Mara Town. Although there are many nomadic tribes gathered there, most of the adult men have been captured by the territory.
Those who were not captured were all dead. In this case, surrender would be their only option.
A tribe can be without a leader, but it must not be without men, otherwise it will be annexed or extinct soon, so their only option is to surrender.
Otherwise, what can be done? All the tribes have only old men, children and women left. How can they survive in the wilderness of the North without men.
