Snowfield Castle requests reinforcements? Who are the reinforcements invited to deal with? Winter Town?
Looking at Vanessa in front of him, David waited for the follow-up report.
If Vanessa only found out that Iron Tree Fort sent reinforcements, but did not find out why Snowfield Fort requested support? Who are these reinforcements going to deal with? That proves that Vanessa is not a qualified intelligence officer and she has nothing in this regard.
Talent.
In that case, Vanessa's future work may shift to "assassination" or something like that!
Facts have proved that Vanessa Van Cleef is not a rookie without any intelligence sensitivity. When she learned that an army was rushing from Iron Tree Fort to Snowfield Fort, she began to investigate the situation of this supporting army.
"According to the information I heard, the eastern part of the Northern Plains is not very peaceful at the moment. It is said that many newly established villages and towns have been attacked or even completely destroyed, which has threatened the safety of Snowfield Castle."
"The east?" David immediately thought of the orcs who established the village in the easternmost part of the northern plains: "The orcs are attacking humans? Is Snowfield Castle requesting reinforcements to eliminate the orcs?"
Vanessa did not answer. This was an experience she learned from her father: the main job of frontline intelligence personnel is to report all kinds of intelligence they have heard, organize and analyze it, and how to respond. These are not their jobs.
Unless your superiors actively ask, do not express your opinions casually.
Vanessa respected her father very much, and she always kept his father's teachings in mind. So after she reported all the intelligence information she had gathered, Vanessa did not make any suggestions, but just stood there waiting for the lord.
Ask.
David sat on the chair and thought for a while, then asked some more questions. After confirming all the information Vanessa had heard, he let Vanessa leave.
Sitting sideways behind his desk, David looked out the window.
Winter Town at night is no longer as dark and devoid of light as before. As the construction work of Winter Town comes to an end, the power plant (currently using crystal mines to generate electricity) and the water plant are put into use.
More and more lights appear at night.
In addition to street lights as public facilities, more and more residents of Winter Town are beginning to enjoy the convenience brought by electric lights.
After being dazed for a while and gathering his thoughts, David walked out of the office and said to Elias who was guarding the door: "Good night!"
"Good night, Lord."
After returning to his bedroom, David hugged the fragrant human flesh pillow and fell asleep...
The next day, David told several important people in Winter Town about the information Vanessa had gleaned.
Including the political officer Weatherby Swann, the etiquette officer Elias Parker, the clerk Eva McKenna, and the leader of the craftsman group and intelligence officer Edwin Van Cleef.
As well as the current military leaders of Winter Town: two personal knights, Gareth Stanton and Floyd, and firearms instructor Jack Krausa.
In addition, Renault Mograine, Sally Whitemane, Liadrin and others were also present as consultants.
These few people are here because they are all involved in the training of the Knights of Winter, and they will naturally pay more attention to the Knights of Winter, a military group they helped train.
Mark, Laura, Peggy, Sharon, Will, Elizabeth and others also arrived, and they were all concerned about the situation in Winter Town.
As for Helen, she directed her two maids to serve tea and water to everyone in the conference room - not only did she quickly learn how to use those facilities, she also taught her maids.
After more than a day of observation, Helen discovered an opportunity for her to perfectly integrate into Castle Glamorgan: David, as the ruler of this place, has a serious lack of servants. There are only a few people living in the huge Castle Glamorgan, and there are no servants.
.
How does this work?
She guessed that David just hadn't had time to "buy" servants yet, and maybe there would be enough servants to move in after a while.
But since I’m here, I can just leave this problem to her!
While Helen was thinking about how many servants she would need to go back to Sparta to buy enough servants, David had already finished telling the information Vanessa had obtained and began to discuss with everyone what they should do next.
"Robber attacks are easy to deal with, as long as normal precautions are taken." Wetherby-Swan felt that the terrain of the northern plains meant that there was no possibility of sneak attacks or ambushes. A large number of refugees would be easily discovered if they moved together.
.
Van Cleef put forward one point: "Be careful as these refugees sneak into Winter Town, destroy it from within, and launch sneak attacks."
Peggy and Sharon both felt that this possibility was not small, especially since the rumor that Winter Town had a "terrible pink flying dragon" was spreading in the northern plains, and only people with mental problems would attack Winter Town head-on.
"Edwin is right. We are not afraid of frontal attacks, but we have to be wary of the opponent using this method." David looked at Van Cleef and wanted to know how many of the craftsmen in the opponent's hands had been trained by assassins or thieves.
Training: "How many people do you have on hand who can be used?"
"It's not that much..."
The Stonemasons Guild was just craftsmen. Even if it later became the Defias Brotherhood, the craftsmen also learned some combat skills, but the talents of these people were not high, and the number was limited, so most of them could only learn a little bit. p>
What's more important is that the people who followed him to Winter Town were not all members of the Masons' Union.
"I can barely make up more than 20 people." These 20 or so people have mastered the ability to sneak, and the rest are really not much different from ordinary craftsmen. They have only learned some skills in fighting and using weapons. p>
"Next, these twenty people will become the secret sentries of Winter Town..." David has already begun to consider setting up a formal intelligence department, and plans to discuss this topic with Van Cleef alone later: "The Knights of Winter will become the secret guards of Winter Town..."
The sentries on the front play a certain deterrent effect."
The two sentries, light and dark, have different functions. The soldiers of the Winter Knights are used to deter those who sneak in, so that they dare not cause trouble directly.
The secret sentry is to uncover those with evil intentions.
As for the real refugees, these real refugees who cannot survive in the northern plains are easier to deal with.
After these people came to Cold Winter Town and found that they could find jobs, housing, and even enough to eat every day, they would naturally transform from refugees into ordinary civilians.
Therefore, the refugees who sneak into Winter Town in batches are not a threat at all. Only those thoughtful people controlled by the nobles of Tieshubao will not care about the good life here in Winter Town and carry out sabotage actions.
Everyone continued to discuss for a while, and after feeling that the topics of refugees and bandits were almost finished, they began to discuss the highlight of the day: the situation in the eastern part of the Northern Plains; whether Snowfield Fort is preparing for military operations? What is the real purpose of the reinforcements sent by Iron Tree Fort? Is it possible?
Will it pose a threat to Winter Town?
"Whether there is a threat to us or not, we must first figure out the specific strength of this support army." Gareth Stanton, as the current commander of the Winter Knights, is most concerned about the enemy, or in other words
The actual combat power of potential enemies.
"I'll ask Arcee later..." David suddenly remembered that Arcee was called by Leon to help: "Forget it, after the meeting, I will go there myself to see the situation of the support army." p>
Everyone present, look at me and I look at you.
Laura and others didn't think anything of it, but Floyd and Gareth Stanton felt that the Lord's decision was a bit like a curse.
Freud immediately stood up and said: "How can you bother your lord to do this kind of thing yourself?"
He hammered his chest with his right hand and solemnly stated that he would come back soon with detailed information about the supporting army and present it to the lord.
"Then I'll leave it to you." David originally wanted to say that he could "transform" into a fighter plane like Arcee, fly over the reinforcements to check on them in a short time, and fly back again.
You can also take a look at the situation in the east and see what is happening to the orcs in the eastern part of the northern plains?
There is no danger in the whole process and it does not take much time.
But he can also understand Freud's ideas
If everything has to be solved by the lord himself, wouldn't it make them look like they are all useless as subordinates?
Whether it is based on a sense of honor, or if you want to prove your ability to the lord and have a bright future, Floyd and the soldiers of the Winter Knights must bring back the intelligence perfectly.
Not only do we need to find out the information about the support army, but we also need to go to the east to find out whether this support army is targeting the orcs in the east? Or is it Winter Town?
In order to ensure that the mission can be completed smoothly, Floyd is going to ask Jack Clausa for help, because Clausa is currently the only person in the Winter Knights who can skillfully fly a Black Hawk helicopter.
Just when everyone had discussed the matter and started to disperse to deal with their own tasks, Steve suddenly came over.
"Is something wrong?" David was about to discuss setting up an intelligence department with Van Cleef, but Steve, who had just arrived, said hello to Peggy and then came straight to him. It was obvious that he had something to ask for.
"You asked me to ask Tony Stark before if I could build an Ark reactor in Winter Town..."
"Oh oh oh!" David slapped his forehead. In the past two days, first Gwen, then Helen, and then Vanessa brought back the information. He had forgotten about it: "What happened to that Iron Man?"
Say?"
"Tony said the price and so on are all trivial matters." As if he had thought of something, Steve showed an expression that showed something good: "He wants to come here to see it in person before deciding whether to take on this project." p>
It sounded very much in line with the iron man's work style, but it was not an excessive request. David readily agreed: "No problem, when is he going to come over?"
