In the second week after the end of the defensive battle, the first agents sent by the Military Security Intelligence Service began to return to the territory one after another, bringing back not only the men that Amber had requested, but also the information that Gawain had requested.

It turns out that these people, who have been at the bottom of society since the beginning and are accustomed to dealing with all sorts of sects and subordinates, are really talented at gathering intelligence - although they don't have the extraordinary abilities of the Royal Shadow Guard, they have more cunning and petty means, and in some dark corners, their cunning methods are even more effective than the extraordinary power of the Royal Shadow Guard.

In the study of the lord's mansion, Gawain listened to Amber report information to him - embarrassingly, the cultural education of the first phase of operators has not yet ended, and a considerable number of operatives do not even know how to read and write at all or can only do limited reading and writing, so they use all kinds of strange codes, shorthand and even oral transmission methods of gutter rats to transmit information, although this messy transmission method is more in line with Gawain's "confidentiality" requirements, but Amber needs to sort it out in advance. It's because of this extra job that Amber now looks more and more like a serious intelligence boss - at least she knows how to show up and do something serious about it.

"Our caravans are spreading throughout the South, trade routes have been opened, and the Merchants themselves are good at spreading the news, just as you planned," Amber relayed what Scarface Anton and the others had seen in various parts of the South, "In addition, a group of Merchants recently went to the East—Padraic seems to want to buy potions into the territory of the Loren family. ”

"That Mr. Padraic shouldn't have been just an advisor to a viscounty, he has a rare talent in business acumen and guts, and I instructed him to spread the alchemical potion to the east," Gawain nodded, "Is there anything else new?" ”

"There are two things that I think ...... Something is a concern," Amber frowned, a rare look of seriousness, "First of all, the Cultists of the Dead and the Eternal Sleeper seem to be increasing in the South, and some merchants from the Central Region have also brought news that there are also cultists in the Holy Spirit Plains, the western and even northern regions of the kingdom. Now the lords of all parts of the kingdom are trying to find a way to strangle the cult forces in their own territory. ”

"The Dead and the Sleepless...... Gawain blinked, "Ah, they haven't been seen much near Cecil since winter, and I almost thought the guys had quieted down...... I didn't expect them to be more active in other places? ”

"That's right, it's more active, as if it's going to do something big," Amber shook her head, "and the second thing is also related to them - due to the increasing evil behavior of cultists in various places, the Holy Light Church has also become extremely active recently, and the Holy Light Church in many places has increased the frequency of sending out battle priests and paladins, and more and more clerics are helping the local lords solve the problem of the spread of the cult. ”

"It seems to be their job," Gawain said unhurriedly, "the Holy Light is a natural nemesis for all kinds of negative forces, and when evil forces spread, the priests of the Church of the Holy Light are always at the forefront. ”

"If they're just running around fighting the cultists, of course that's fine, but the point is a saying that's been spreading in the west lately," Amber said with a look of "the god of light is going to make trouble", "Because the power of the Holy Light is always the fastest and most effective when fighting the cultists, the dissatisfaction with other sects is getting worse and worse everywhere - especially the Blood God Sect and the Shadow Sect are not good at fighting evil themselves, and the power attribute is slightly negative, Their situation is becoming more and more awkward. Anton and the others heard rumors near the Earldom of Hosmann to the west that the gods of many sects could not deal with the Fallen at all, and that only the gods of light were dedicated to protecting mortals......"

Gao Wen's brows slowly furrowed: "Is this kind of statement widely circulated?" ”

"At present, it is only spread in the area of the Earl of Hossman, but as long as the winter is over and the business travel increases, the speed of news will immediately become faster, and as long as the activities of the cultists continue during this time, and the situation of the Holy Light Church and other sects does not change significantly, then this kind of statement will become mainstream sooner or later."

Gawain nodded: "Yes...... This kind of news always spreads the fastest...... Can you pinpoint the source of this claim? ”

"It seems to have been spontaneously generated by the people, after all, the fact is there, and all sects except the Holy Light Church will react too late when they face the threat of cultists," Amber shook her head, "But as the Chosen Choice of the Shadow Goddess, I just think the Holy Light Church is going to make trouble......

"You're preconceived—" Gawain glanced at the half-elf who always claimed to be God's chosen one, "but I also think the Church of Light is going to make trouble." ”

Amber glared, "Aren't you just like me!" ”

"Don't make a fuss, I'm not God's chosen one," Gawain waved his hand and immediately changed the subject, "These things shouldn't affect our territory. ”

"It shouldn't make a difference," Amber nodded, "There's a Holy Light Priest in our territory, and it's still that kind of painting style - I'm not worried at all that he will use the Holy Light to brainwash everyone, just worry that one day if a missionary from the God of War Church comes to preach and will be beaten by Wright if he doesn't agree with ......"

"In short, be vigilant, you can't help but take the changes in the outside world seriously, if the Holy Light Church or the cultists really want to do something, they won't just put Cecil aside...... By the way, what are the results of the first phase of operators' activities outside? I remember you seem to have set them an assessment project......"

Amber suddenly danced when she heard this: "Don't you say that I forgot, those guys really deserve to be the seedlings who were optimistic back then, and they are all good hands when they go out in the field, I gave each of them eighty silver coins as action funds, and there are ......more than ninety left."

Gao Wen listened to the first half of the paragraph, and when he heard the last half of the sentence, he almost squirted out all the tea in his mouth: "Huh!? ”

"The most powerful is Jibrie, she pretended to be a magical apprentice sent by her mentor to find gifted children, and she went to Carol to cheat and eat and drink for several days, and in the end, if she didn't remember the task, she was afraid that she would not fool Viscount Carol's only son......"

"it!"

"The 'Fast Legs' guy almost became the local lord's guard, and in order to get the target out of the prison, he blended into the soldiers guarding the prison, and then accidentally behaved too well......"

“emmmmm…… Anything else? ”

"Anton has contacted more than a dozen potion merchants in the Earldom of Hossman who want to take refuge in Cecil's Domain, if you think it is appropriate, I will pass this on to Padrak......"

Gawain: "......"

It turns out that Amber's gang of horses are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, although the training they received in Cecil and the duke's certificate they carried themselves also helped them immensely in their actions, but they can't be trained in their idea of doing things all the way, it is all talent......

However, while lamenting the talents of those people, Gawain couldn't hold back a little worry in his heart: "They won't make things too much, but they will move too much to be exposed, right?" You should know that the most important thing for MIA operatives is their own secrecy, and if they are too active and stand in front of the stage, it will be bad. ”

"Don't worry, of course those guys know this," Amber wasn't really worried about this, "First of all, they all act strictly according to their disguised roles, and they don't do anything that doesn't fit their 'role' in the slightest, and even if someone notices, they will only be more convinced of the fake identity they use, and secondly, those guys don't forget the 'tail sweep' I taught them when they act, they appear at their destination in a reasonable way, and leave in a reasonable way, which will never arouse suspicion, and finally- Do you think that every lord and his advisors and scholars are just like you? Those guys are very sluggish, and they don't pay attention to what happens between commoners, except for caring about their titles and property, anything that commoners do is just a 'fool who doesn't need to care' in the eyes of traditional nobles, where will it be the same as yours, there is a perfect household registration system from top to bottom, and there is strict personnel management, even if there is one more person in the territory, you can report to the government department on the same day......"

Amber said this, and Gawain also felt that this was indeed the case - in this era, where is the so-called personnel control and registration system other than Cecil's collar? The lords didn't even know how many people they had, let alone the various concepts of espionage and counterintelligence, infiltration and counter-infiltration, that had been played with on Earth. Although there are spies in this era, there are intelligence work, and there are noble eyes and ears, but these things are either still very primitive and simple, or they are just the "same level competition" between the aristocratic class and the aristocratic class, and no one has ever considered the three-dimensional intelligence work from the bottom to the top.

"That's good, the first result of the MIA is pretty good," Gawain smiled, leaning back comfortably in his chair, "It's your credit, so ......"

"Give me an extra six or seven days' wages, and by the way, give me the bottle of Pokel wine in your cellar, and then give me a vacation or something......

Gawain glared at this half-elf, and always felt that this guy's ability to climb along the pole and shamelessly had improved by leaps and bounds, and before he finished his words of encouragement, Amber had already made a list of rewards......

I'm afraid it wasn't listed before I came to report on the work......

At the same time, in the ancient dungeon far away from Cecil's territory, another group of people were also paying attention to the changes in the situation.

Dressed in priestly robes stripped of specific religious symbols, they stood in the assembly hall of the dungeon, and the proliferation of flesh and plant tissue could be seen everywhere in the dungeon, but these cultists, who had long been distorted physically and mentally, were accustomed to the strange and terrifying atmosphere here.

After a brief moment of silence, a woman suddenly walked into the hall, she was dressed in a green priest's robe, her face was beautiful, and her upper body was also bumpy, but at the hem of her priest's robe, there was a pile of wriggling, strange and inexplicable roots and vines supporting her forward.

The woman glanced at the dreary atmosphere of the scene, and spoke with a slight sarcasm: "Gentlemen, have your discussions not yet been fruitful?" ”

One of the mortal priests said dissatisfiedly, "Imam Bertila, you're late. ”

"It doesn't matter, you were just a useless discussion anyway," Bertila smiled faintly and walked to her place nonchalantly, "just to explain...... The Ansu-Typhon War, which we've been trying to start for so long, is about to come to naught, isn't it?

"Gentlemen, accept the facts......

"In the wasteland, there have been changes that we didn't expect......"
