Chapter 369: The Empire's Attention
In the darkness of the night, after commanding his guards to complete the blockade of the incident area of St. Joel's Cathedral and symbolically giving the order to search for suspicious people nearby, he took out the communicator and contacted his director, intending to report the incident information he got from the priest.
However, as soon as he finished his debriefing, Jossen received another, more interesting and surprising piece of information from the director.
"Are you saying that not only the imperial capital, but almost all the churches in all parts of the empire have been attacked tonight, and have been destroyed into pieces of rubble, and the people of the Holy Light Church stationed in them have also suffered a large number of casualties?"
In the palm-sized communicator inlaid with a crystal bead in Qiao Sen's hand, the egg-sized crystal bead engraved with a circle of incantations was emitting a faint aura, and when the words of the chief of the security bureau were coming out of it, the light emitted by the crystal bead was also flashing to match the vibration frequency of his voice.
[Yes, and the point is, the other party is the same as the imperial capital, the attack is very measured, it is completely only aimed at the area of the church, almost no other irrelevant people have been affected, and there are no useful flaws left after the action, at least the personnel who are dealing with the accident and searching at the scene on our side have not made any valuable discoveries!]
"That's a ......," Jossen smacked his tongue.
[Although it is not a bad thing for us that so many strongholds of the Holy Light Church have been hit, this incident is also not a good thing!] The voice of the chief of the garrison revealed a solemn meaning: [According to our investigation of the scene, after asking the technicians to collect the reactions of the remaining spirit children in the ruins of those churches, we have already come to a more likely conjecture - these attacks tonight are likely to be caused by the use of a large number of spirit guide weapons! Qiao Sen, you know what this means, right?]
"Yes, Spirit Guide Weapon...... Qiao Sen not only smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Such a large-scale application of Spirit Guide Weapon, and it can also attack in such a large area in almost the entire territory of the empire in a short period of time, not to mention other forces, even I can't help but wonder if this will be an action planned by the empire." Director, do you have a clue over there?"
If it was really an operation planned by the upper echelons of the Empire, it would not be a strange thing for him, a small security minister, to be unaware of it. But if it's at the level of the chief of the garrison, you shouldn't be ignorant.
After all, if you really want to carry out this kind of large-scale operation in the major cities and towns in the empire, you need the cooperation of the empire's own security and defense agencies, such as erasing the aftermath of the incident and erasing the relevant traces.
[You think too much, and there is no such thing. The Chief of the Security Bureau directly rejected Qiao Sen's speculation, and then continued in a cautious tone: [Now not only the church, but also the upper echelons of the empire are also highly vigilant against this unknown force that can launch such a large-scale attack within its own territory and still be able to retreat without leaving a trace. After all, since the other party can destroy all the churches and churches overnight, if the target is changed to our side next time, the consequences are really worrying!]
This concern of the upper echelons of the Empire is a matter of course, and since the person who attacked the church this time can still be traced after the intervention of the official forces of the Empire, then if the target of the attack is changed from the church to the Empire, the situation will probably not be much better.
The emergence of such uncontrollable and very dangerous uncertainties on one's own territory will cause unease among the upper echelons of the empire.
The chief of the garrison said solemnly: [Therefore, the order has been issued from above, and our garrison bureau must go all out in this incident, even if it can't catch the other party, it must find out the traces of the other party, depending on the situation, and maybe the deployment of the garrison and defense will be greatly adjusted. γ
"I see, Director, but I still don't have any clues. Jossen looked at the ruins of the church in front of him and said with a helpless shrug.
[I understand, but that's exactly what you need to break through!] The Chief of Guard's tone did not waver at all.
"Whoa...... Okay, okay. Qiao Sen twisted his eyebrows and reluctantly agreed.
This is the reality of the workplace, where one sentence at the top often leads to broken legs at the bottom. Regardless of your difficulties, the top management often only asks about the results and not the process.
"But you are also considerate of our difficulties, Director, do you have any support that you can provide?"
[You don't have to worry about this, the intelligence bureau will also be involved in this incident, you can ask them for intelligence assistance, in addition, the boss also promised to send you a group of cutting-edge technicians to assist in the search with the latest Lingzi detection equipment!]
"In this way, I feel much more at ease. β
If you mess up, you and I will inevitably be punished for dereliction of duty, but I'm okay here, and when the time comes, with the accumulated connections, at most I will be transferred to an idle position for retirement, but you may have to lose your job. The chief of the garrison said at the end, admonishing in a half-joking tone.
"Aha......" Qiao Sen laughed and said, "If that time comes, you will have to intercede for me, boss." β
Disconnected from the communication, Qiao Sen looked at the communicator and silently groaned for a while, and his face showed a touch of unhappiness and helplessness.
"Alas, I obviously wanted to live a clean life after retiring from the front line, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of trouble in less than a year...... I knew I should have chosen a more idle position in the first place. β
Shaking his military hat, Qiao Sen once again threw himself into the on-site command.
About ten minutes later, the communicator in his pocket once again sent a signal to access.
"It's me. ...... I see, I see. β
After hanging up the communication, Qiao Sen waited for a moment, and then saw a military spirit guide armored vehicle whizzing from the corner of the street with an almost furious momentum, and stopped in front of him after making a piercing grinding sound.
The door opened, and five or six men in easy-to-move white uniforms jumped out, one of the bespectacled men looked around and walked straight to Josson's side, while the rest of the men pulled open the rear half of the door and gently pulled out of the car what looked like a complicated device.
The man with glasses took out a card covered with fine shimmering lines from his arms and handed it to Qiao Sen, and said with a light smile: "Hello, sir, this is our certificate, and a notice should have been issued from above, can you please cooperate with our work?"
Jossen took out his communicator and swiped it with his thumb to open a card slot, and then he inserted the card directly into the card slot.
Dingββ!
After seeing the spar of the communicator flash, and a soft sound on behalf of the certification, Qiao Sen nodded and pulled out the card and returned it to the man with glasses, and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem." "Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
