Chapter 6: Regner on the Verge of Collapse
"......" Cordak hesitated.
"If this can be done, it will be a great achievement for you. After the city is broken, I will advise Your Majesty that there is no problem in making you a corps commander. Manhattan looked at Kordak and hesitated before firing him.
"Old general, you misunderstood, since you joined the army, then Kordak will naturally do his best to serve the empire, as for things like adding officials to knighthood, I Kordak dare not say that I haven't thought about it, but with my little brother climbing up this kind of thing, I still can't do it. Kordaq said sincerely.
"Good, I like you to be honest. Manhattan nodded: "But, then why are you hesitating now?"
"Don't hide it from the general. Kordak smiled wryly, "My brother doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with His Royal Highness Joffrey, the Grand Prince of the Empire. If I let him come here because of one of my private messages, I'm afraid that Regner will tell the truth, and if I put him in some trouble because of it, then I, Kordak, will be sorry for him. ”
"It's a blessing for Lord Regner to have a big brother like you. But ......" Manhattan snorted coldly: "Lord Dark Elegy, even if he ran here because of one of your private letters, he is still serving the empire and benefiting the people, I don't believe that he Joffrey would say a thing to him about this kind of thing." If that's the case, I, Manhattan, might as well give up this old face and admonish this kid for His Majesty Ralvin. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, neither you nor Regnar will let you be the target of public criticism. With this assurance, you should put your mind at ease, right? Could it be that you don't even believe me?"
"Kordak didn't dare. Kordaq hurriedly bowed his head: "I'll just write this letter." ”
"Then I'll leave it to you, this thing is done, and your promotion is a sure thing. Manhattan nodded: "Don't be busy refusing, although you are only a captain, I still remember what you have done in the past six months." I've also heard of the group of soldiers under you, and although their personal strength is good, they are also notoriously unruly and untamable. The fact that you can train them as a whole in just a few months is a great achievement in itself. What's more, since you went to the front line, although there have been small mistakes, the combat exploits are also obvious to all. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would take another week to solve the problem on the west side of Ocean Tide City. Therefore, if you are rewarded for your merits, you should have been promoted a long time ago with your merits. This is just an opportunity, you don't have to feel like you're in the light of your little brother. ”
"Yes...... Thank you to the old general for your love. Now that Manhattan has said this, he Kordak will be a little ruthless if he refuses again.
......
Melindell, the headquarters of the Hawke Imperial Military Intelligence Service, while Regner was dealing with a mountain of papers with a tired face. He finally understood why Verles, as his teacher, rarely came to guide him, he was so busy.
Where is there a rebellion, what Stoke people have been moving recently, and there are people suspected of being Stoke spies in the empire...... No wonder the teacher didn't have the time to guide himself, no wonder Alex cried and shouted to get out of this hellish place.
Staying in such a place, you will be faced with a mountain of documents all day long, and if you don't have inhuman concentration, you will definitely go crazy a long time ago!
Even so, the information had been screened by Alex and Annelot before it was handed over to Regner. It stands to reason that Alex himself has been in the position of director for a long time, and naturally has a set of experience in the analysis and processing of intelligence.
And Anne Lot, who had also been an assistant to the Lunaris Thieves Guild for two years before meeting Regner, was naturally familiar with this kind of problem of screening documents. But even after the double check of the two of them, the amount of documents delivered to Regner was outrageous.
If it weren't for Garona's constant help to analyze and deal with these problems, he Regner probably wouldn't even have to sleep for a few months!
Lately, however, Galona seems to have grown a little tired of the endless amount of work, and the orc has always been ignoring her when Regna consulted her lately. Regner had no choice but to analyze these problems on his own. However, I have to say that under Garona's previous guidance and his own efforts, Regner's recent progress in his work is very obvious.
"Hurry up and have a difficult task, let me go out for activities......" Regner sighed as he looked at the file that was as tall as himself. He hasn't been working on papers every day for half a year, and occasionally Regner will be lazy and leave all the things to Alex, and then spend the day with Annelot and Inniris. But if you're looking for more time to relax, you'll have to rely on difficult assassination missions.
The Military Intelligence Service is an agency that integrates intelligence gathering, military assassination, and internal control. And military assassination is also a top priority in the MIA, and some well-known generals or key figures in the Stoke Empire who will affect the situation of the war must rely on the assassins sent by the MI to obliterate them.
However, MID assassins were not omnipotent, and some assassins were themselves high-ranking warriors or high-ranking mages, and few assassins were capable of such tasks in such cases.
It is worth mentioning that high-level assassins are even rarer than high-level mages in some ways.
Why? Because of the danger! Think about it, you're walking alone in an environment where all enemy troops are located, not only to find your assassination target among so many enemies, but also to find a way to kill that person. Well, even if you can do that, do you have the confidence to get out of it? Once you make a move, then exposure is a matter of time. And once exposed, it will be really difficult to fight your way out of the encirclement surrounded by so many enemies. Therefore, even if the assassin can kill the enemy, he will probably end up dead.
Of course, poisoning and framing is naturally a way to assassinate. However, most of the targets assassinated by the MI are highly powerful, and ordinary poisons are hardly effective. As for the high-grade poisons, they are not only expensive, but also difficult to have the effect of killing the middle. And in this case, as long as the target drags on for a few hours, the priest of the Stoke Empire is likely to rush over. As soon as the priest arrives, the poison will also lose its effect.
Therefore, orthodox assassination still relied on the Assassins to carry out the use of knives.
It's no secret to say that assassins are probably the most dangerous and deadly profession in the world. It is precisely because of this extremely high mortality rate that the number of high-level assassins is so scarce. These Assassins who were able to enter the high-level realms were a very valuable resource for the Military Intelligence Service, and Regna was really reluctant to send them out without great certainty of survival.
So what about the important and difficult tasks that the Hawke Empire has to perform? Hehe, at this time, it is the turn of our legendary Assassin Dark Elegy, Lord Regna.
In the early days of this guy's entry into the MIA, not only did the ministers from the outside world say a lot about him, but even the people within the MIA who were not convinced by Regner's stinky boy abounded. What can I do to stabilize my position? Of course, it is a convincing strength!
So, in this short period of half a year, Regner carried out three MIA assassination missions. A total of four Stoke Empire dignitaries were assassinated, including a high-level mage and a high-level warrior. Moreover, his assassination was either an invisible kill with a slightly small fluctuating blade, or a rush to kill, and then relied on his strange and unpredictable shadow to escape in an instant.
So after half a year, Regner not only had a 100% success rate in carrying out the mission, but also could be said to have escaped with his whole body in every mission, and even only once he was slightly injured, and the other two times he was not injured at all!
Such a terrifying record not only dispelled the doubts of the outside world, but also increased the awe of the members of the MIA for Regner. They are also people who have been in this institution for a while, so for those tasks that Regner performs, although some people can still pat their chests and say that they are guaranteed to be completed, they are as unscathed as Ragner...... They don't have that confidence......
What they didn't know, of course, was that each of Regner's assassination missions was not carried out alone. Annelot, the Frost Maiden, always follows Regner, and even if he goes to carry out the assassination, Annelot will be waiting for him in a safe and secluded corner. As soon as he completes the task, Regner will rush to Annelot's side as soon as possible, and then the Frost Maiden will come with a teleportation. Looking for Ragner? They're hard to find even if they're digging three feet into the ground!
And Garona also had an evaluation of Regna: "Although your ability to fight head-on can only be regarded as so-so, when it comes to the ability to infiltrate, assassinate and escape, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can be stronger than you." ”
It is precisely because of these advantages that Regner seems to be particularly enthusiastic about this kind of assassination mission lately. But due to Alex's entanglement, he has always been unable to get out of the military intelligence department, and he wants to go out on a mission?
But the more he didn't have to do it, the more Regna yearned for that kind of free life in the outside world. Although assassination is also a dangerous thing, for Regner, this kind of moving thing is always much more cute than dealing with files.
It is precisely because of this that Regner exclamates when faced with these documents.
Tuk-tuk.
After Anne Lot knocked on the door, she pushed the door open, regardless of whether Regner answered or not. According to her, she just came to the MIA to fulfill her promise to Kordak and to help Regner, as for the relationship between superiors and subordinates? Not to mention that she didn't admit it, he Ragner himself didn't dare to have such thoughts!
"Thank you. Regner looked at Anne Lot, who was a little tired on her face, and hurriedly comforted her softly, this girl is actually working harder than herself, so Ragner is also very grateful for this.
"Here's a letter from you, it looks like it was written by the boss. Anne Lott placed the papers on the table and pulled an envelope out of her bosom.
