Chapter 268, Keriopatra
While Caesar's camp was fighting on all sides, Arthur, the commander of Crassus's side, was anxious about the trade-offs between certain intelligence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since receiving information from the "Cleopatra" camp such as "Caesar attacking from all sides" and "Pompeii testing Sentry Fort No. 1 and focusing on No. 2", his operational thinking has been directly affected by this intelligence war, and he has become more cautious and suspicious, and many orders are not issued until the combat team has already arrived at the target, which also makes the actions of the Crassus camp more complex and secretive.
The so-called Fourth Faction, named after Cleopatra's "Cleopatra", is a hidden faction that can hide behind the battle situation and balance the power of the Triumvirate. The night before the official launch of the fifth closed beta, Arthur and Joffrey, as faction commanders, were secretly summoned by Elise to a camp office and were told about the "fourth faction":
"This is an intelligence camp, they don't have an absolute party, they are directly under the senior leadership of Black Sheep, similar to the 'shufflemen' of previous sessions." Sitting behind her desk, Elise announced to the two of them, "I won't tell you their lists, but I can guarantee that each of the three factions will have at least one informant who belongs to the 'Keriopatra' faction, and they will have a privileged email ID that will not reveal their identity to all players, and they will exchange information with each other and share it with you as appropriate...... Of course, trust it or not is your business. ”
"We don't have the right to refuse, do we?" Joffrey, who was more straightforward, looked at Arthur and suddenly interjected. In terms of combat style and personal temperament, he did not like this arrangement, which further complicated the three-faction format.
"You can refuse the shared intelligence of 'Keriopatra', but people, they will definitely be where they are needed." Elise smiled, dismissing Joffrey's personal displeasure, "Maybe you'll fall in love with those little stunners soon—after all, you're lucky compared to some people who have lost their right to know." ”
The person who "lost the right to know" mentioned in her mouth naturally refers to Lu Pingchuan. At that time, Lu Pingchuan was being locked up in a small black room by her to "boil the eagle", so naturally she had no way to know the nature of the fourth camp, and judging from Elise's current attitude, she had no intention of sharing the information with other members of Caesar's camp without discrimination.
"Both of them are old people who have participated in the internal test for more than one session, and they have also cooperated in other fields, so they should be able to understand the hard work of the company's operation." Elise played with a multi-functional pen in her hand and said casually, "Fair or unfair, the balance of victory is always in the hands of the wise...... This year's prize money is the highest ever, and I think both of you want to be the new champions - and I assure you, you're not just going to get money, you're going to get other things you wouldn't expect! ”
Elise's words were very inflammatory, but Arthur knew that at least half of the magic contained in her words actually stemmed from the inability of him, Joffrey and the others to choose. Intelligence camp? To put it bluntly, a camp has at least been stuffed with a multi-faceted agent. In this way, on the bright side, the three camps seem to be still in a state of parity, but in fact, who wants to win, or who wants to die ugly, isn't it all the black sheep who has the final say?
Information about the Fourth Faction, Elise has explicitly told them not to disclose to anyone. Therefore, Arthur could not tell his teammates in the other factions about this setting, and after learning this information, the way he looked at each of his teammates also involuntarily changed: people are such creatures, although he knew that as long as he completed a faithful performance according to the script given by the black sheep, and did not stand out like some fools who did not know how to lift, then the information given to him by "Cleopatra" would most likely be favorable and credible; But even so, as long as the thought of the information of his own camp would also be secretly shared by them, Arthur's heart would feel uncontrollably depressed and uncomfortable.
In a state of unable to refuse and unable to choose, Arthur can only comfort himself, they at least have more initiative than a camp that has been abandoned - due to Lu Pingchuan's inappropriate remarks during the preparation camp, he can't help but be locked up by Elise, and he is also deprived of the right to know the relevant information of the fourth camp, so for the entire Caesar camp, they are equivalent to a big stumbling block at the starting line, as for when the consequences of this lack of information will appear, it is only a matter of time.
