"Everyone is here, let's officially start." A man in black robe at the end said.
"Everyone is here? Where's No. 6?" The young man who came in last had doubts in his tone.
"No. 6 has died in the line of duty." The man in black robes who spoke first replied.
"Died in the line of duty? What happened? Is it safe here? Why do you still hold a secret meeting when you know that No. 6 died in the line of duty?"
This news caused a commotion. It was obvious that not only the young man had just learned of the news, but others did not know it before.
They couldn't help but feel nervous. Although No. 6 didn't know the identities of all of them, once the information was leaked, their lives would not be easy, not to mention that the other party knew the location of the meeting.
"Don't worry, No. 6 did not die in the line of duty because his identity was exposed, but was assassinated by the other side during a gang fight." The man in black robes who spoke first explained.
Speaking of which, No. 6's public identity in Geqi City is obvious, but no one has revealed it.
Because of his dual identity, Hawkeye takes double risks. Not only is his identity exposed and there is a risk of being hunted, but he also bears the risk of covering up his identity. Sometimes in order to more conveniently obtain more information, they must
Climb up harder than others.
There was a silence in the secret meeting room, as if he was mourning the death of his companion.
A few minutes later, someone said in a pious prayer tone: "May the mountain god guide him and return his soul to his hometown."
"May the mountain god guide him and return his soul to his hometown." Others agreed one after another.
There are very few people in Eagle Eyes who believe in gods. Even if they have faith, it is faith in their own territory and generals. This sentence can be regarded as the common spiritual support of all Eagle Eyes.
From the day they joined Hawkeye, they knew that the chance of them returning to the mountains alive was very low, and the chances of their bodies being transported back to the mountains for burial after death were even slimmer. They could only hope that their souls could return to the mountains for which they had worked.
A hometown of struggle and protection.
This depressing atmosphere only lasted for a while.
Those present were all experienced veterans who had experienced countless lives and deaths. I dare not say that they took it lightly. At least they had learned how to adjust their moods and not be influenced by them.
"Before I get to the main topic, I would like to convey to you some good news from my hometown. Although you have more or less heard of this news, I still want to inform you in a more formal way."
It was still the man in black robe who spoke first. Judging from the arrangement of seats in the secret meeting room, if everyone used numbers instead, he should be number one.
"Your Majesty General, you have officially sworn allegiance to the regent princess of the Lancelot royal family of the Byron Alliance. You have been canonized as a baron. Your hometown has also been officially renamed the Yongye Army Leader. From now on, we are a part of the Byron Alliance.
No matter what you do, you can do it with integrity."
"The general's move is indeed brilliant. A verbal allegiance is exchanged for unlimited possibilities in the future. It is probably preparing him to join the Byron Alliance in the future." The man in black robes sitting in the third seat said with a smile.
Those who can be selected as Eagle Eye must be smart people. In addition, they have traveled a lot and seen widely, so their vision will naturally be broader. Both the overall view and the analysis of intelligence capabilities are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
When the same news fell into their hands, what they saw was completely different. Especially since they always believed that the general had the world in mind, they thought further - if he didn't have the world in mind, why did he spread so much to the Byron Alliance?
Eagle eye?
"You are not allowed to discuss military and leadership policies arbitrarily. Have you forgotten what our first lesson was? Listen more, read more, remember more, and speak less. Misfortune comes from the mouth. The more you speak, the more mistakes you make. The less you speak, the fewer mistakes you make." No. 1's voice said.
He clearly showed a trace of displeasure. This kind of words would obviously bring more hostility to his hometown. He would not say it if he could, even when he was the only one of his own.
But everyone has their own personality, and knowing it doesn’t mean you can do it.
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing." No. 3 also realized that he was quick to speak and apologized hastily.
No. 1 is not stalking on this issue. They are all veterans who have been working outside for many years and have rich experience. Just wake them up appropriately. Talking too much is not only useless, but also not within their own responsibilities. Continue
Then he continued his original words.
"Not long ago, the Lord held a flag ceremony in the Twin Cities, officially confirming our military flags and emblems, including our Eagle Eye's. Unfortunately, our military emblems can only be reissued to us after we return to the territory.
But I have a sketch of the military flag and emblem here. Everyone, take a look, this will be our symbol."
As No. 1 spoke, he passed the thin drawings to others.
These eagle-eyes, who have experienced hundreds of battles and have seen countless strong winds and waves, couldn't help shaking their hands when they took this thin piece of paper, as if they were not taking a piece of paper, but a heavy burden.
When they saw the sketch on the paper, many people couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although it was a few simple strokes, the white mountains and black waters outlined above reminded them of the situation in their hometown.
Some even muttered aloud, "White Mountain and Black Water Flag."
"Okay, this name is good, and this painting is also good. It is very representative. Once you see it once, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime."
They, the wanderers outside, resonate with this flag far more than ordinary citizens of the Evernight Territory.
The gold and silver nests are not as good as their own kennels. In the eyes of outsiders, the Andes Mountains are a remote and remote place, but that is also the hometown where they were born and raised. What's more, they know in their hearts that their hometown is now ten times and a hundred times better than what outsiders imagined.
And this is what they fight for at the cost of their lives.
"If everyone has remembered it, let's burn it!" No. 1 took the lead and threw it into the brazier in front of him.
"Hey, I really want to see what my military emblem looks like now."
"Yes, when you return to the territory, what will be supplied to you will not be an ordinary military emblem, but an elite military emblem, and it may even be a heroic military emblem."
"Oh? Is there another term? What's the difference between the three?"
"I really can't tell what the specific difference is. I only know that if you want to obtain the latter two, you must have enough meritorious service. It's better to have less than to have too much. Many generals who hold high positions but have no actual military exploits are not eligible to obtain it. According to
It is the habit of our military leaders to name these items individually, and they will definitely not be ordinary items. As long as we go back, we will definitely have a chance to get them."
"Thinking about these things is too far-term. Completing the current tasks is the first priority."
Although the eagle eyes were reluctant to part with it, they looked at it twice more, and after it was firmly imprinted in their minds, they stood up and threw it into the brazier.
The second rule of being an eagle eye is to keep as few highly identifiable items on your body as possible. If you can remember it in your mind, never leave any paper evidence. If you have no choice, you have to record it with a special secret code.
.
"The main news has been conveyed and let's get to the main topic. Everyone has a basic idea about this mission. The Kingsley family's emissaries have arrived in Getch City and are contacting and recruiting larger forces. They want to turn this place into a base for their march into the Swamp of Despair.
Bridgehead, this is something my hometown doesn’t want to see. We must completely destroy each other’s plan this time and win more time for our hometown. Now let’s talk about the part we are responsible for and let’s analyze it comprehensively.”
Number 1 looked around and asked: "Who comes first?"
"I'll do it first." No. 3 raised his hand first, "For the Crocodile Clan, which I am mainly responsible for, the Kingsley family's special envoy also tried to send people to make connections, trying to test their tone, but was directly rejected.
, After my contacts in the past few years, I have found that most Crocodile people have very stubborn personalities and accept death, and it is very difficult for outsiders to integrate into them, but once they integrate, they will definitely be treated as relatives by them."
"The crocodile people have very poor sense of the Kingsley family. It is basically impossible to win over them due to the resentment they have accumulated for more than ten years. In the short term, this is good news, but in the long term, this is a problem.
Bad news."
"What should I say?" Everyone looked like they were listening.
"Needless to say, in the short term, they will definitely become the biggest obstacle for the Kingsley family to win over the criminal alliance led by Getch City. In the long term, they will also become the biggest obstacle for the hometown to enter the Swamp of Despair, because of their
This kind of character is destined to eat soft things rather than hard things. If we use a gentle policy and spend decades to nibble and influence them, there is a high chance that we can pull them into our arms. But our hometown does not have that much time. Once it is put into use
With force, it is possible for these seemingly scattered crocodile tribes to unite."
"This news is very important. Have you spread it to your hometown?" No. 1 asked solemnly.
"It has already been passed back. My hometown attaches great importance to it and asked me to follow up. If there is a chance, it is best to find out the general size of the Crocodile tribe. Their xenophobia is too serious. Even their core organization in Geqi City.
I haven't even been able to enter, let alone touch the state in the Swamp of Despair. I'm wondering, can we take advantage of the Kingsley family's opportunity to win over the criminal alliance and help me create a chance to complete the mission?"
"You mean not only to destroy the Kingsley family's plan, but also to severely damage the power of the Crocodile tribe here and support you in your rise to power?"
"That's more or less the same meaning. The Crocodile tribe's own race is very strong in Geqi City, so naturally they won't value foreigners. However, their own race's power has been severely damaged, and there will inevitably be a power vacuum for a period of time. They can only rely on the foreigners who are attached to them.
, even if I cannot take the opportunity to enter the Swamp of Despair, I will still be able to deduce a lot of things from information on resource allocation and other aspects."
"This is just a matter of smooth sailing at that time. It shouldn't be difficult. We will pay attention to it when we make a plan later." No. 1 only considered it for a moment, then nodded and agreed. No. 3's goal and overall plan
There is no conflict, and maybe we can kill two birds with one stone when the time comes.
"Thank you." No. 3 thanked him.
"We are all brothers, why are you so polite? Continue, who is next?"
"Let me go, on the side of the Mineworkers' Union, the Unionist Party's attitude is basically clear. They will vote for the Kingsley family. At that time, the Kingsley family will support the Unionist Party to gain dominance over the entire Mineworkers' Union. In this way, the Liberal Party
They will definitely rise up to resist, and they will be our main force to fight for. Also, compared to the Unionist Party's platform, the Liberal Party is more in tune with our territory, and they will be the main direction of attack for No. 4 and I."
This time it was number two who spoke.
"There is no problem in determining the main direction of attack. As for the situation on the United Party's side, we should try to grasp what we can. Even if we cannot fight for it, we will know ourselves and the enemy when the time comes."
"This is natural."
"No. 5, tell me about the situation with your gang."
"The situation on the gang side is more complicated. Those gang bosses are all cunning old foxes. If you have breasts, you will be a mother. They don't say a word of truth in their mouths. I'm laughing at you today, but tomorrow it's not uncommon for a white knife to go in and a red knife to come out. Originally,
No. 6 has the highest position, the greatest influence, and can still have some effect. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, we encountered a misfortune, and now we have lost our biggest leverage point. The role that No. 7 and I can play is very limited."
Compared to the other two factions, which have more clear-cut attitudes, the situation on the gang side is the most complicated. Not only is it a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are many gangs, but also because none of the people in charge are good enough to be in their current positions. Most of them rely on
own evil.
Most of these people's values are rather weird and cannot be measured by ordinary people.
"The timing of No. 6's accident is too coincidental. Do you think it is related to the actions of the Kingsley family?" No. 3 raised a question.
No. 4 hesitated and replied: "It's hard to say. On the surface, it should be a normal revenge. Some time ago, No. 6 suppressed the enemy too hard in order to gain power, and was about to collapse. That's why he acted like this.
Cruel means, but..."
"But what?"
"No. 6 has always been very careful in his actions. He also knew that the other party was likely to launch a cold arrow and stayed in front of him. However, No. 6 died in another tavern. There must be someone he had to meet, so No. 6 took the risk.
Yes, but I really can’t think of anyone who is worth taking this risk on the 6th.”
"When you say that, it is indeed very suspicious." No. 1 nodded and said, "The news of No. 6's death in the line of duty has been postponed and will be sent back to my hometown. Everyone should pay attention to see if there are any clues about the death of No. 6. We need to
Completely identify the cause of No. 6’s death. This matter may affect your safety and cannot be ignored.”
"Understood." Everyone responded one after another.
"The situation has been summarized. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Just kill the special envoy of the Kingsley family." No. 7 made a neck-wiping gesture.
"No. 7, have you been in the gang for a long time? Do you really think of yourself as a gangster? This special envoy has no value in itself. His real value comes from the family he represents. If he dies, the Kingsley family will have no value at all.
Just send a new one over, but we have exposed ourselves, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"Si Hao is right. We not only want to destroy the Kingsley family's plan, but we also cannot reveal our identity."
"Then there is no other way to think of. Let's use the old method to use our strength. If the water is completely muddied and the entire Geqi City is in chaos, the special envoy, even if he has great abilities, will not be able to use even 30% of his power.
, we will take the opportunity to act when the time comes."
"There are too many uncontrollable factors in this chaos. It is difficult to maximize benefits and it is impossible to determine the development in our favor."
"Then you have a better way?"
"That's not what I'm thinking!"
"Completing the task is the first priority, maximizing the benefits is secondary. Make sure to complete the task first, and then consider other things. After all, our manpower is too small. Whether we can muddy the water is still a question."
"Have some confidence in yourself. No matter what we say, it's just calculation without intention. If you can't even do this, all these years will be in vain."
