Chapter 299: Planning and Alliance

Carster, the man who had just become the head of the Supreme Government's intelligence department yesterday, had not changed at all, and did not appear to be in good spirits on the so-called happy occasions - he was still sitting in the wheelchair that had accompanied him for about ten years, and there was a hint of haggard in his expression, and anyone with normal vision could see his bloodshot eyes, and dark circles that were so thick that they could not be concealed.

"Good morning, Commander and Lord Taaffe!"

After greeting the leaders of the two dark mercenary organizations that were closer to him, Casted looked at Nightmare in response, waved his hand, and said, "Nightmare, long time no see!" ”

Hey?!

Such a differential way of greeting made Taaff and the commander stunned, neither of them was stupid people, this kind of obviously different treatment, intimacy and different attitudes, the two of them would not fail to see it; And almost subconsciously, after the two glanced at each other, the idea of bad things rose in their hearts.

Could it be that he had already contacted the supreme government?

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to refuse us again and again!

And sure enough, it was!

Both of them could clearly see the surprise in the eyes of the alliance, and then, both of them all looked at the nightmare, with an inexplicable incomprehensible meaning - for the thoughts of these two people, the nightmare was so clear that he looked at the two of them with disdain and sarcasm, if this matter was only about him, the nightmare would definitely not mind letting these two guys speculate for a while, but when it came to the adult, he had to explain.

"I just saw it last time at Lord Shak's Dragon. It's only less than half a month, right? ”

Nightmare beckoned to Cassd. said with a smile; And such an explanation was heard. Taff and the commander couldn't help but subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, and this kind of relief was obviously a bit loud, attracting Cassd to look sideways, looking at the expressions of the two, Cassd asked knowingly, and said, "The two of you are very nervous about the relationship between me and Nightmare!" ”

As he said this, Cassd's body leaned against his wheelchair and assumed a comfortable position; Although there are no legs, this posture is a little weird. But under Cast's gaze, Taaff and the Commander were in no mood to appreciate the awkwardness, and the nightmare on the side tilted their heads and spat out smoke rings one after another.

The atmosphere was obviously weird, and a little too heavy, and lasted for more than ten seconds, before Taaffe spoke-

"Lord Cassid has something to do to find the Nightmare, right? We won't bother too much! ”

After Taffe winked at the commander, the two of them were ready to stand up and leave—although it had been decided that there would be a discussion with the Supreme Government, but now was not the time, not just the wrong time. It's more that the people are not right; To put it simply, in the minds of both of them. The Cassid in front of him is undoubtedly not qualified; If it was the other party's superior, that Moreti Chief of Staff would be about the same.

In fact, they are also more willing to deal with Moriti, because the other party's experience in the secret service, the two sides are not too strange, in a sense, they are quite familiar, they know Moretti's personality; And it is precisely because of this familiarity that both Taaffe and the commander think that Moriti is a suitable candidate.

"Please don't worry, you two!"

Just as Taaffe and the Commander were on their feet, Castle spoke, first raising his arm to stop them from leaving, and then, looking at Nightmare again, he said, "I only wanted to explain to Nightmare today, but since the two of you are here, let's talk about it together; After all, it's about the two of you! ”

Hearing such words, Taffe felt nervous in his heart, and after he gestured to the commander without a trace, he immediately said with a smile: "What happened again?" ”

"yes, if it's not something important, I think we'd better talk about it separately!"

With Taaffe's gesture, the Commander immediately cooperated - after Nightmare made it clear that he would not form an alliance with the two of them, there were some things that the Commander did not want to have more involvement with Nightmare; This is true both in business and in private; Especially when the other side is the supreme government, if he can, the commander wants the nightmare to disappear immediately.

After all, according to the personality of the other person, maybe they will do something that they will regret - this is not a so-called speculation, but a reality; In fact, in the other person's past experience, such a thing has happened more than once; So, after the commander finished speaking, Taaffe nodded again.

"It's not a big thing, I don't think it's necessary to talk about it separately!"

Castel did not do what Taaffe and the commander had wished, but waved his hand again and said in refusal; As for the embarrassed look that appeared on the faces of the two of them, he also turned a blind eye and continued: "The supreme government is facing a dilemma, and the three people here must be knowledgeable; Or, to put it more seriously, the whole of Lorant is also facing a danger, and we need to work together to get through it! ”

For Lorante's danger, those present naturally knew what was going on, and even for Taaffe and the commander, it was precisely because of this incident that they had such an idea; If it is a normal time, opting out is the best choice.

"So, the Supreme Government decided to ......"

Castel raised two fingers, put down one of them, and began to speak of the first: "If you are going to stay in the summer forest district, then we have no difference, but we must serve the supreme government, and we will pay you some salary on a fixed basis; And if you don't want to, you can leave as you please, and we won't stop you; But ......"

Speaking of which, he put down another one.

"However, in this battle with the dark creatures, as human beings, you are naturally sidelined; On the battlefield, we need a team led by people like you who are good at small-scale operations! ”

Cast's words just fell. Taaffe and the commander frowned—obviously. The other party's proposal caught the two of them off guard; If you really do what the other party says. Don't talk about the so-called benefits, I'm afraid that even I will have to lose myself.

What salary?

Although the salary of the highest government is not bad for ordinary people, it is simply not enough for dark mercenaries like them, and what they seek is not this meager salary.

"We are naturally happy to join the supreme government; However, the salary ......"

With a burst of laughter, the thin old man of Taaffe expressed his opinion: "We are living a precarious life as dark mercenaries. So ......"

"Chief Taffe, I'm talking about notice, not consultation; See the difference! ”

Before Taaffe could finish speaking, Cassd interrupted the other party, and he looked at Taaffe with a serious expression, saying word by word.

"Isn't there some ...... this?"

Under Cast's gaze, Taaffe's words eventually turned into a dry laugh; However, the commander on the side had a trace of anger, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Casde, what you said can represent the supreme government?" As far as I know, you're nothing more than the deputy chief of staff of a combat rehearsal room! ”

"I'm here this time. It was on the orders of His Excellency the Speaker! Looking at the commander, Cassed said slowly, "That's right. I'm the deputy chief of staff in the Operational Exercise Office, but I'm also the head of the Supreme Government Intelligence Department! ”

W-What?!

Upon hearing this news, Taaffe and the Commander were both shocked—in the supreme government, the Speaker undoubtedly had the greatest power, followed by the remaining eleven parliamentarians and ministers of various ministries; Most of the time, however, the ministers of the ministries are concurrently appointed by the councillors; Therefore, for a long time, this practice has almost become a phenomenon common to parliamentarians and ministers.

"The official promotion is really fast!"

Nightmare, who had never spoken, gave a thumbs up to Casdeby and congratulated the other party in her own way; And, he made his position clear: "I won't get a salary to live, and even if I do, the supreme government is not suitable for me; So, if I go to war against the creatures of darkness, I'll go; However, the salary is waived; I don't want to live like this! ”

"I'm sorry I didn't have the opportunity to work with you; But, in the future, Dude, I can invite you to drink! ”

Castel nodded at the nightmare, and then, his eyes turned to Taaff and the Commander; The two of them immediately frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Nightmare's way of expressing their stance on the spot; However, with the presence of Casde, the two couldn't say anything, and immediately, after glancing at each other again, Taaffe said as a representative.

"We are not the only ones in our organization, we need to go back and discuss seriously! Of course, it's our duty to fight the creatures of darkness! ”

Under the pretext of saying this, Taaffe and the Commander left the room for a moment, promising to give Cassd an answer as soon as possible.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

After Taaff and the Commander leave, Nightmare looks at Cast, smiling at the taste.

"How is that possible!"

Castel spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Although the intelligence services of the highest government have always been rotten, they are rotten to the bone; However, he still knows everything about his low eyelids; What do Taaffe and the Commander want to do, how can they hide it from you, the newly appointed Minister of Intelligence? ”

As he spoke, Nightmare pulled out a cigar and threw it to Cassde, watching the other party skillfully pinch off the cigar, take out a match and light it, and continued: "Moreover, the timing of your appearance is too coincidental; Those two guys just came in, and you came to visit, and if you don't have to be boring, I won't believe anything! ”

"What if, I say, it's all a coincidence?"

In response to such words, Nightmare simply raised a middle finger in response; Cassted, on the other hand, smoked the cigar in his mouth without hesitation, letting the rich smell of tobacco fill his mouth, nose and lungs, and circulate repeatedly—although he knew that smoking like this would not do his body any good, but in some special circumstances, he could only rely on this to seek a trace of comfort.

Was everything before a coincidence?

Of course not!

There aren't that many coincidences in the world, in fact, this is after he became the Minister of Intelligence. The first message received. The news that infuriated him was that Castsd was not a workaholic. But he is a dedicated man, and since he has become the head of the Ministry of Intelligence, he will do his best to do his best.

Therefore, after sending his friend Moretti away, Castel plunged headlong into the intelligence department, and began to summarize and analyze all the news of the past week - he was destined to be unable to go to the battlefield after losing his legs, but this does not mean that he cannot use other ways to complete his mission.

Intelligence analysis. It was not very difficult for Cassde, who had been in the combat rehearsal room for a long time, especially after there was an additional team of twenty experts around him, and some news was quickly put in front of Cassid - some of these news were very inconspicuous, and some of them were doubtful, but they would not cause harm, and under normal circumstances, the intelligence department would put aside such news and look for more sensitive information.

That was before, though. After Castle took office, any small news. A complete and exact confirmation report is needed, and in this report, Castle discovers the idea of severance and the slightest movement of the Brotherhood of Taaffe, as the person in charge of these dark mercenaries, Castle is instinctively wary of these dark mercenaries.

Therefore, the intelligence department of more than 500 people in Dude was immediately mobilized to find out what Kill Thoughts and the Taaffe Brotherhood wanted to do for Cassd.

As a result, Castel shattered the teacup in his hand.

And, there was a scene like this morning; If he could, Castor would definitely use more drastic means to tell Killing Thoughts and the Brotherhood of Taaffe that the bottom line of the Supreme Government was there, and the consequences of being touched, but at this time, when any internal strife needed to be eliminated, Castrid had to choose a safe way.

Of course, if the Mind of Slaughter and the Brotherhood of Taaffe did anything bad under his reminder, Castel would definitely let the people of these two organizations understand that the supreme government, the witcher, and the Holy See could be ranked as the three major forces of Lorant, and the other party was just the top force in the dark mercenary organization.

"Is there a radio?"

Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Cassed said suddenly.

"Of course!"

Nodding, Nightmare immediately had his men bring a radio; Faced with Nightmare's curious eyes, Castel motioned to the other party to wait a little longer-

Zila...... Zila......

The sound of electricity in the radio sounded continuously, and then it was reduced to nothing, leaving only a clear sound; The voice of an old man.

"Guys, I'm Erin......"

The introduction at the beginning made Nightmare sit up straight and look at Castle in surprise; In the entire Supreme Government, there are naturally many people named Arryn, but they are older, and they can get the attention of Casts, and Arryn who appears on the radio, as far as Nightmare knows, is just that: the Speaker of the Supreme Government, Arryn.

Castel didn't answer, just motioned, and Nightmare continued to listen.

"I apologize to everyone for what has happened recently in Dude; Because of my negligence, such a thing happened; As the Speaker of the Supreme Government, my negligence is unforgivable......"

This apology is not long, only about three minutes, but it is enough to make everyone remember - after the establishment of the supreme government, this is the first speaker to publicly apologize in front of the world; And the sincerity of the other party, everyone can hear that it is not perfunctory.

Thus countless civilians have a sense of respect for the sacrificial Deputy Minister of Trade, Tranko, and resentment at the parliamentarians who abused their power for personal gain, and at the same time wary of the ill-intentioned intentions of each and every one of them who once again incites them; Of course, the Speaker Aylin is also remembered.

"The first time I found out, this speaker is good!"

Nightmare spat out a smoke ring and said; And Castel didn't take the words, but staggered the topic: "You really don't want to work with me?" ”

"Hey, dude, please!"

Nightmare rolled her eyes, pointed to her dress, touched her fat belly, and said, "Do you think I'm suitable for walking on the street in a suit and completing various crisis tasks?" Or do you think I can sit in my office with nothing to do, drinking coffee, and flipping through a newspaper for the previous day? ”

"Now I don't have the age to retire or be commanded at will!"

Speaking of this, Nightmare smiled unruly.

"So, you've decided to become a witcher?"

Castel asked—the other party's answer was not what he expected, after all, some of the subtleties that the other party showed when he met the other party at the Shak Dragon that day were enough to explain the problem.

"Not necessarily!"

After an ambiguous answer, Nightmare paused, and added, "Of course, if the adult needs it......"

……

At the same time, in front of the Four Seasons Castle, a group of men and horses belonging to the coalition forces of the Autumn Forest District came to him.
