I took advantage of my authority and mobilized a search party of 100 people.

——

The search had not lasted more than fifteen minutes before we found the blocked tunnel in a building fifty meters from the Lord's Palace.

Originally, I was surprised that the search was so swift, but when I walked through the courtyard gate, I was relieved to look at the brown dirt.

Blackwater is also a human being, and so much sand and gravel and waste soil cannot be disposed of in a short period of time.

Stepping on the soft dirt, I walked to the pit and apologized.

I tried to step on the concrete-blocked entrance a few times.

"Bern is exactly what you think, you go and search the inside of the house."

It's just a routine search, and I don't expect the results of the search.

Nine times out of ten, this property is one of the strongholds prepared by the Targaryens.

I don't know how many such strange strongholds there are in Inuka Castle.

"This is a problem, we don't have the information of ordinary residents, and it is not a simple matter to investigate the background of these residents, the most important thing is that we have no way to arrest people."

"You can't attack the facility directly, but it's definitely a hassle to use the tunnel to transfer or raid."

"Damn the Underground."

While complaining, I stood on top of the mound.

The distance from the Lord's Mansion was not more than fifty meters in a straight line.

"Bern, what did you say Blackwater blew up the gates of the Lord's Mansion for? The gate was blown up, and it had no real impact on us, and it would also expose their way of fighting, so I feel that the tunnel operation will be better for the next surprise attack."

"Blowing up and spreading rumors, such as Kemp's death, if Kemp shows up to clarify, it will be exposed to Blackwater's sight, and at that time, his own safety will be very difficult to guarantee, if he doesn't show up, the panic will spread further, no matter which option, it will be not good for us."

"Why are these people so obsessed with creating panic? Panic is a good method, but it is definitely not something that normal people would choose, and what is the point of involving so many unrelated people and causing civilian casualties and chaos? Just for the sake of victory, the man who made this plan is too inferior."

"It must have something to do with the nature of the Blackwater, right? They're just mercenaries, not knights, and they don't care about honor at all, they just need to complete the mission."

"They're mercenaries, but they're still people, alas—"

The results of the search, as I thought, were nothing.

If there are clues left for us, this is not normal.

"Let's disband, you can also go back and explain the situation to your superiors about today's affairs here."

I did not hesitate to disband the search party.

At the moment, I still have no intention of tracking down Blackwater.

The first is the danger, the danger of the black water, of course, needless to say, the second I have not received the order to investigate, and the third is that my ability is limited and my power is limited.

That's it for the investigation here, and I'll write an investigation report and hand it in when I get back.

"Let's go back to the administration building and see what to do, shall we?" The order from the higher authorities should have been given as well."

——

Administration Building.

Heavy defense as always.

After presenting the coat of arms, we returned to the inner hall.

I briefly inquired about the situation of the crowd and left the inner hall.

This time I didn't take anyone with me, but went to the staff headquarters alone.

In any case, I am also a member of the General Staff Headquarters, and if something like this happens, I still have to go and see the situation.

Hopefully, this group of people will not panic because of a sudden terrorist attack.

——

General Staff Headquarters.

There was no panic as I had imagined.

Everyone sat in their chairs very calmly and discussed countermeasures.

When I saw me pushing the door in, I didn't react in particular, and a group of high-ranking officials continued to discuss countermeasures.

Emperor Yan and Kemp are not in the staff headquarters, this is also normal, there is no need for them to come here.

I nodded to Toma at the front.

Toma smiled when she saw me.

"I just wanted to find you here, and you're here."

"You all know about the Toma Lord's Mansion, right?"

"You know, Major May seems to be the first to arrive at the scene? I guess there's a result of the investigation, right?"

"Blackwater dug a tunnel and planted a lot of explosives in the tunnel."

"Is it a groundhog, or is it an undergroundman? Blackwater always surprises us."

Toma's tone didn't seem to take the attack seriously.

It is normal to be slight, and this attack has no effect.

There is no damage to us.

It's just a loud prank.

The first time was a prank, the second, the third, it's hard to say.

"I think Blackwater is just testing our reaction this time, and there will probably be a large-scale operation next."

"That's what I came to you for, but before that, Major May, how is your investigation going?"

"It's still a short time, I can't say for sure, there's nothing suspicious at the moment."

"You need to speed it up, I think you should understand that if we don't get rid of the demons, we won't be able to strategize for the future."

Future strategy? Toma's words are still rather strange.

I don't think that Bern is the only spy in a troop of tens of thousands of people, and Bern is also a captain in an experimental unit, and her value as an inner ghost is not as good as an ordinary staff officer.

I can't understand why Toma is so obsessed with Bern.

And really doubt it, wouldn't it be better to just imprison Bern?

"Toma, even if it's just a suspicion, we have a reason to detain Bern, why don't we just do it?"

"It's too early to capture Bern, and Bern's status in the army is higher than you think, we can't arrest her without any evidence."

"I see, I'll speed up the investigation."

"There is one more thing you need to pay attention to, don't spread the word about everything that happens here at the staff headquarters."

"Understood."

The matter of the staff headquarters is rumored, and I am not stupid enough to be this point.

Seeing me nodding, Toma motioned for me to walk over to him.

"Actually, it's not that I'm going to summon you today, it's the other staff officers who want to hear Major May's opinion."

"My opinion?"

A group of staff officers want to listen to me? It's a bit of an anomaly.

You know, usually this group of people all ignore me.

Strange is weird, but it's also one of my jobs.

"Opinion, what is it about?"
