This is inseparable from the management system of the Eternal Night Commander.

Since the entire territory was absorbed by them layer by layer and established single-handedly, both the station and the population are very planned.

Although it is not to the extent that each resident has his or her own identity number, it is still divided into districts and villages.

When a person wandering outside can't even report his own jurisdiction and village fort, this person has a problem, and after a little interrogation, he will basically be exposed.

After all, the outside world basically doesn't know what happened to the Eternal Night Army in the past seven or eight years, what castle alliance and what personnel are diverted, it is completely unknown, and there is no way to complete the problem of his identity.

Being detained for review is in accordance with legal procedures in the Eternal Night Commandery.

The false catch rate is almost zero.

This is also inseparable from the vigilance of the militia self-defense forces, after all, no matter how complete the policy is, it must be implemented by personnel in place, otherwise it will be a useless shell.

After interrogation, these captured sentinel ghost slaves came from a variety of backgrounds, and basically included all forces, including Princess Regent, an ally of the Eternal Night Army, and Countess Angie Bena.

As for whether what these sentinel ghost slaves confessed is true, or whether they are indiscriminately biting, it is unknown.

Anyway, a few days after they finished confessing, they were secretly executed, and even the original interrogation files were all destroyed, as if this incident had not happened, and this person never appeared.

The rest of the fate is more tragic, and what awaits them will be repeated interrogations, and when they accept this task, they should think about what they will face in the future.

Among them, the Kingsley family, led by the Carthusian army, sent the largest number of sentinels, and the ghost slaves were all sent by them.

The special profession of ghost slave disappeared for a time with the rise of the Eternal Night Lord.

But they didn't disappear, they just hid like rats in dark corners, and when a new employer appeared, they would come out like flies that smelled rancid.

Especially this time, it was not the Kingsley family who took the initiative to find the ghost slave, but the ghost slave who took the initiative to find the other party.

It's not that these ghost slaves have such a far-sighted political vision that they know that the Kingsley family and the Eternal Night Warlords will clash in the Swamp of Despair.

Not to mention them, even the contemporary Grand Duke Buck of the Kingsley family can't see that long-term.

It is purely because the Kingsley family is known for their wealth that they have the most in demand for slaves, and they are more likely to lead the army of the Eternal Night in the future.

The Kingsley family was just raising an idle chess game at the beginning, where did they think that the Eternal Night Army Leader would be able to sit to the present level in just a few years.

Even though Grand Duke Buck didn't think that the Eternal Night Warlord would be their greatest rival in the Swamp of Despair, out of caution, he mobilized all the forces he could, including the ghost slaves they had forgotten about and were dying in the mines.

Before the ghost slaves were activated, they were still a group of slaves, don't expect the Kingsley family to look at them differently, at most the oppression is not so serious.

It's just that these ghost slaves' knowledge of the Andes Mountains is stuck in ten years ago, and with just one Andesian face, it can't provide much cover, on the contrary, it attracts more hatred.

Some things buried deep in the bones have not faded over time, but have become deeper.

The ghost slaves who were captured were the best proof of this, and by the time the professionals from the Eternal Night Army arrived, eighty percent of them had been beaten half to death, and a few died not long after.

There is no way for the Eternal Night Army Leader to be held accountable, except that it is a good thing for the people to assist in catching the spies, and it cannot discourage their enthusiasm, but also because the law does not hold the people accountable.

It is not one or two people who participate in the beating of ghost slaves, and most of those who have been directly or indirectly harmed by them will not be able to help but take action.

The Kingsleys' actions are a testament to the fact that they value the swamp of despair more than they can imagine.

In fact, the Kingsley family's determination to venture into the swamp of despair is evident in many ways.

For example, on the border between the Carthusian military leader and the Swamp of Despair, those who did not care about the annexation of the city.

The envoys of Grand Duke Buck brought not only amnesty decrees and gold, silver and jewelry, but also bloody killings.

Gucci City.

The largest city in the Sanzhi Zone, a dozen or so Sanzhi towns along the Cartel Hills and Despair Swamps, are faintly led by them, with a resident population of as many as 50,000, which is no worse than ordinary county-level cities.

It was able to develop for a number of reasons.

Geography is naturally indispensable, and it is half mountain and half water.

Backed by the remnants of the hills of the Cartel Army, the Desperate Swamp was surrounded by land and water, but the terrain here was relatively high, and the only submerged valleys were the hills, and those hills were still rising above the water, forming islands that stood in the Desperate Swamp.

Needless to say, this terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you hold one side, it will be difficult for the enemy to enter.

The mountain against it is an iron mine, and it is also a rich mine, just take a shovel and smash it twice, you can smash a piece of iron ore with a high iron content.

Even in the mineral-rich cartel warlords, such bonanzas are rare.

It is conceivable that in order to compete for this place, what kind of bloody storm was staged.

The Kingsley family and the crocodile clan almost knocked their brains out here, and every inch of the land was soaked in blood.

The crocodiles are the natives of the Swamp of Despair and the remnants of the ancient Andes Empire in the Jiangnan Plain.

Just because the Swamp of Despair wasn't conquered by the Byronic Alliance doesn't mean it's uninhabited.

It is said that cockroaches have tenacious vitality, and human adaptability is much better.

As long as the living environment is not extreme to a certain extent, they will find their way out, just like the Kentana barbarians on the Kentana Ice Field.

The Despair Swamp is a treacherous environment and harsh living conditions, but it is far from the Kentana Ice Field, especially in terms of products.

After all, the temperature is moderate and there is a lot of rain.

When the Jiangnan Plain turned into a desperate swamp, most of the residents moved away, and some stayed, slowly adapting to the new environment, just like the mountain people in the Andes Mountains, with the passage of time, they have forgotten the ancient Andes Empire, forming a new name and cultural heritage - the crocodile tribe.

Their name comes from a simple one, they are known for keeping crocodiles and pythons in captivity.

In their village, crocodiles and pythons are as common as the cats and dogs of the Andes.

In particular, crocodiles have been domesticated by them like hunting dogs, which can not only watch the home and protect the yard, but also hunt and fight.

In the complex environment of the Swamp of Despair, the war crocodile is indeed able to exert a more powerful combat power.

After decades of struggle, the rule of Gechi City finally fell into the hands of the Kingsley family.

Just like the original Andes, due to the vast land and sparse population, they are not closely connected with each other, and there is no complete unity from beginning to end.

However, the Kingsley family's rule over the area lasted less than a decade before it was overthrown by the miners, local gangs, and crocodiles.

At that time, the Kingsley family was caught in the whirlpool of power change, and they didn't have time to pay attention to it at all, and when the new Grand Duke came to the throne and took out his energy.

Not only was Geqi City turned into an iron barrel by them, but even other surrounding towns, instigated and supported by them, they became self-reliant and became a veritable paradise for exiles.

The Kingsley family did not send a large army to clean it up, but the geographical environment was too complicated, and most of them colluded with the local indigenous crocodile tribe.

When the army is dispatched, it can be defended, but if it can't be held, it retreats into the swamp of despair.

As soon as the army withdraws, they will return.

After a few tosses, the Kingsley family gave up.

No matter how thick the Kingsley family is, they can't afford to withstand such a toss, so they can't send a large army to stay there for such a few pieces of land, right?

This would create an emptiness within the military leader, and if those minions were to survive, it would shake the very foundation of the Kingsley family's rule.

In the end, I can only choose to turn a blind eye to them and become what they are now.

Geqi City still maintains its original mode of rule, with the miners' union, the gangs, and the crocodiles co-governing.

However, no matter which of these three is the general name of the outside world, the miners' union is divided into the Liberal Party and the United Party, not to mention the formation of more complex gangs and crocodiles, and the internal division is divided into four or five forces.

Fortunately, both sides were more restrained and patient, fighting according to the rules they had set, and did not easily flip the table.

The arrival of Grand Duke Barker's secret envoy has made the situation here even more complicated, and it is really a storm.

Gucci City.

Pig and Whistle Inn.

This hostel has not been around for long, less than five years.

But it is the most famous and largest hotel in Geqi City, and twenty-five hours a day, twenty hours are busy with people.

It was able to rise at such a rapid speed, not only because the innkeeper had his hands and eyes in the sky, and he maintained close contacts with the three major forces, and he handled things smoothly, and no one could be offended.

Also because of the taste and pattern of the food and wine here, there is really nothing to say.

After eating here, I basically don't want to go to the second one.

Just like its name, when the whistle blows, everyone will turn into pigs and come in response.

Many gluttonous diners don't take this kind of ridicule to heart, but are proud of it.

However, outsiders only see one side of the hotel, and there is also this unknown side - the lair of the Eternal Night Leader Hawkeye Secret Service in the Swamp of Despair.

It's not that the Hawkeyes of the Hawkeye Secret Service don't want to keep a low profile, but in this era, low-key frequent contact is more eye-catching.

It's better to go the opposite way and artificially create a flow of people, and the eagle-eyes will be mixed in, so it will be less eye-catching.

And among the many professions, there is nothing more suitable than a tavern inn.

As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky.

This is needed wherever it is, and the lethality of food is even more versatile.

Among the noisy drinkers and diners, a slightly thin young man, after eating all his food, did not leave immediately, walked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and turned around and entered a secret passage.

He took a wide black robe from the wall and put it on himself, covered his face, picked up the oil lamp next to him, and walked dozens of steps through the dark passage with ease, stopping in front of a narrow door, and tapping rhythmically.

A pair of eyes flickered in the peep window, and a low inquiry came from behind the door, "Password." ”

"It's raining today. The young man's voice was muddy and hoarse, and when he heard it, he knew that it was a deliberately disguised falsetto.

The heavy iron-clad door opened silently, and a black-robed man dressed in the same costume as the young man stood behind the door, unable to visualize his body and face, only a pair of equally bright eyes were exposed.

The young man didn't enter the door immediately, instinctively glanced at it quickly, took in the situation inside, and then entered it unhurriedly, and the whole person collapsed like a hunting cheetah.

Vigilance is the foundation of an eagle's eye, and don't trust anyone easily, including those who have not verified their identity.

In the small basement, together with the one who opened the door, there were already seven people gathered, all dressed in the same way, all dressed in black robes, all sitting silently in all corners.

This is not the usual model of the Eagle Eye Secret Service, it is purely a compromise made by Geqi City according to local conditions.

The Hawkeye of the Hawkeye Secret Service generally adopts a one-line contact, and this kind of large-scale gathering is unique, because in doing so, it is easy to be targeted, and then end up.

However, the forces of Geqi City are criss-crossed, and there are seven or eight of the most famous forces in the row alone, and the information is intertwined, and if you want to maximize your interests, it is necessary to communicate with each other.

Even if the Hawkeye secret service department has been expanded again and again, and Hawkeye is recruiting every year, but it can't be done in every town.

The fact that Gochi City was able to gather so many Eagle Eyes was a testament to the importance that the Eternal Night Warlord attached to the strategic deployment of the Swamp of Despair.

And the less people who pass through the information thing, the safer it is.

Keep your identity as secret as possible while exchanging information comprehensively.

And then the current pattern emerged.

The disadvantage of this is that it is easy to provide opportunities for those who have a heart to take advantage of and take the opportunity to blend in.

The cautious hawkeyes have naturally developed a set of relatively rigorous verification methods, which are far from being as simple as a code, and there are as many as five subsequent procedures, and if there is a mistake, it will be taken down immediately.

After the young man who had just entered the door successfully completed the process and also confirmed the identities of the other people present, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense body and nerves eased a little.

This kind of large-scale secret meeting is always loved and hated.

Of course, you can get more comprehensive information and instructions here, which is conducive to the smooth development of your work.

But every time he hung his life on a thin line, he was a little careless, and he didn't say anything about it, and he also affected his brother, resulting in the destruction of the whole plan.

Now they feel more deeply the meaning of what the instructors said at the beginning that as their hometown grows, their situation will become more and more difficult.

At the beginning, the name of their hometown was not changed, at most they were discriminated against because of the faces of the Andes, and they would not think about espionage at all, and it was not too easy for them to infiltrate and blend in.

Now that the reputation of their hometown has risen, the eyes of the others looking at them outsiders are obviously different, and they have taken root and feel it so clearly, not to mention how difficult it is for the new eagleeye to carry out the task with a new face.

Every time I think of this, I have to admire the foresight of His Excellency the General, and it is natural that he has begun to lay out the layout for so many years, and he is a few steps ahead of others in everything.
