Doing the dirty work yourself.

Amber has known this for a long time.

After figuring out how the MIA operates, and understanding the basic concepts of "infiltration, sabotage, intelligence" described by Gawain, she anticipated what kind of work this particular unit might do.

The Military Security Intelligence Service is a comprehensive intelligence department that operates to maintain the security of the homeland, but in many cases, the security of the homeland needs to be maintained by relying on the insecurity of the enemy, but not all confrontations can be carried out on the table, and those who operate under the table are the tasks of the Military Intelligence Agency.

A just cause for Cecil is certainly not just for the enemy, sometimes you need to assassinate, sometimes you need to poison, sometimes you need to shake and split the enemy's interior, sometimes you need to steal and lurk...... Of course, intelligence work is not always so extremely dark, and in many cases, the open flow of information is also an important source of intelligence for the Military Intelligence Agency, but when the confrontation enters an extreme situation, the working methods will inevitably become dark.

But Amber doesn't care much about that, because her career doesn't seem to be shining bright......

On the contrary, she was glad that someone could recognize her gifts and use them in the right place - perhaps she and her men were not doing things very brightly, but at least, she was sure that her actions would bring peace to more people.

The Holy Light Church in this land is a cancer, and since it is a cancer, it should be eradicated with a knife.

Tensions in the city of Luan are on the verge of exploding.

Rumors of all kinds were constantly spreading in the city, and the civilians, who had accumulated great pressure from hunger and panic, seemed to have lost their minds, forgotten the coercion of the transcendents, and began to talk about terrible things in all sorts of dark corners, and every night, when the knights and soldiers patrolling the town walked away, chilling whispers sounded in the musty alleys and corners of the outer city, and when the sun rose, bold slogans directly attacking the cathedral appeared in some corners of the outer city, Even blasphemous heretical symbols.

The church district sent wave after wave of inspection teams, and the ordination monks with holy emblems and black robes even went directly into every house to interrogate and even directly interrogate anyone they suspected.

However, even though the knights and priests were exhausted, patrolling the streets day and night, the limited manpower was almost less than a third of the city.

Even within the church district, the situation is getting worse, the split between the clergy and the clergy at the bottom has become almost an open fact, more and more chapel principals are beginning to refuse to carry out orders from the cathedral, and some of the clergy are questioning Fran?? The authority of Béran, the temporary bishop, and some of the clergy even began to suspect the strange behavior of the former Bishop of the South, Lemont, before he invaded Cecil, and began to spread the word that Bishop Lemont was bewitched by the Eternal Sleeper, but the source was hidden in the fog.

In such a tense and high-pressure situation, more and more leaflets continue to appear in the city, and even in churches.

"The enemy has already blended in! Their destruction borders on madness! The threat is beyond imagination!! ”

In an urgently convened council of priests, Fran?? Béran waved his arms and shouted with red eyes, the priest known for his piety, poise, and majesty had lost his usual composure at this moment, and his heart was filled with anger at the destruction that Cecil had never heard of.

"We have sent all the papal knights, the monks of the precepts, and the exiled knights who have taken refuge in the outer city, and we are collecting a large number of leaflets and heresy items every day," said one of the priests, standing up, "and we are still ......

"It's useless!" Flange?? B. Braun unceremoniously interrupted the priest, "Those leaflets...... They appear faster than we burn! ”

"The saboteurs are lurking in the city, we must find a way to get them out," stood up a black-robed Monk of the Order, who was the leader of all the Monks of the Order, "they are very good at hiding, blending in with the crowd, and all strange faces are suspicious......

"The strange faces also include the exiled knights and nobles' sons who have taken refuge in them, as well as their vassals," another priest stood up and interrupted the leader of the Monks of the Commandment, "They are scattered in the current knightly patrols and the inner city church district, do these people also need to be investigated?" ”

The voice of the Monk of the Precepts was as cold as winter: "It's all suspicious, maybe the enemy just blended in between them to sneak into the city." ”

Flange?? B. Braun knocked on the table: "We are so caught in the enemy's plot - what they want is for us to split." ”

The priests were in a commotion, and a gloomy and tense atmosphere hung in the hall.

In an unbearable suffocating atmosphere, Flang?? B. Braun finally spoke again.

"We can't let the situation get worse like this," said the temporary bishop with an unusually gloomy face, as a transcendent being of great power, who had finally had enough of the troubles caused by stupid, weak ordinary people, "we will take action enough to deter everyone—we will search from house to house, bring all those suspected to the square, I will use great divine words to detect their faith, and all those who waver, all will be burned at the stake!" Also, bring the weak and wavering clergy of the chapel district to the square and let them watch the execution! ”

There was an instant commotion in the hall, and after a moment, a priest stood up: "Bishop, are you sure you want to use the Great Divine Word Technique to judge so many people?" It's expensive, and once you use it, you're afraid ...... I'm afraid that there will really be a lot of people who have been identified as ...... shaken faith"

The common people themselves are not clergy of strong faith, even in this church city of Luan, the civilians at the bottom are just ordinary believers, after such a long period of blockade, pressure, and panic, even the faith of the clergy is being tested, and the situation of those civilians will only get worse.

None of the people who can be priests are fools, although they always talk about the omnipotence of the god of light, but in fact they know the hearts of the people very well, in this bad situation, how many civilians who are tested by a great god can maintain their faith and piety?

However flange?? B. Braun had his own considerations, and he had already made up his mind: "It had to be done—we had to prove the power of the Lord before everybody, and we had to characterize it: those who wavered, who slandered the church, who slandered myself and the former bishops, were shaken in their faith, who had been seduced by the devil, who had been shaken in their faith, so they were talking madness and utterly unbelievable." ”

Hearing the bishop's words, the priests in the hall couldn't help but nod slightly in thought.

When the situation is gradually getting out of control, it is the most effective plan to find out a few targets, attribute all the unstable factors to them, and then characterize them with reasons such as heresy, untrustworthiness, madness, etc., and then burn them down.

At least in the past few years, the effect of this "heresy trial" has been unstoppable.

"Go and inform the whole city, the supreme martial law, and tell everyone that their bishop will be in the square for heresy," said Fran?? Béran stood up, his gaze swept across the hall, and made sure that no one had expressed any objections, "Do not conceal the news of the Divine Word, on the contrary, emphasize its effect—we will make those who lurk in fear panic, and even more so that the hearts of those who are about to be judged will be shaken, and the more they will be shaken...... When the trial of heresy begins, it is easier for them to be identified as heretics, and we are better able to blame them for everything. ”

The priests exchanged glances with each other, and then in the Fran?? B. Braun bowed his head in front of him.

News soon spread from the cathedral and began to spread to the chapel district and the outtown.

In an underground facility in the chapel district, a tall, thin priest walks barefoot on a cold stone path wearing a gray linen robe only for punishment.

The black-robed Monk of the Order walked silently beside the priest.

A faint sound came from above, sounding like the sound of many people walking, mixed with the sound of what seemed to be the transmission of instructions.

The priest in the sackcloth robe couldn't help but stop, listened slightly, and raised his head after a moment: "Alcott, what is that movement?" ”

The precept monk replied indifferently: "It should be the notice of the heresy that has been handed down. Don't think about it, you can't meddle in this matter. ”

The sackcloth-robed priest's eyes widened slightly, and after a moment he whispered in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "In this situation, there will be a heresy trial...... There's no way, there's no way out...... Alcott, you ......"

The priest interrupted, "Save some effort, it's up to the Cathedral." ”

The sackcloth-robed priest abruptly fell silent.

After a long silence, he looked up at the dim and gloomy corridor ahead, the cold corridors of the underground facilities stretching out in his sight, disappearing into the depths of darkness, and in the darkness ahead, several other disciplined priests, also dressed in gray linen robes, were walking forward under the supervision of the ordination monks.

The dark road slid into darkness like the future of the city.

……

In the temporary stronghold of the MIA operatives, all the operatives were gathered, and Amber looked at his subordinates in front of him with a happy smile on her face.

"The 'Inquisition of Heresy' is finally here, and I thought they weren't going to use it. This thing has always been their forte, and it is a great thing that those magic sticks can endure for so long. ”

One of the operators spoke up: "The situation has deteriorated to such a point, they will definitely use the 'heresy trial' to 'maintain order', and they must have realized our existence, and this trial is probably hoping to catch us." ”

"Just those rice buckets...... If any of you are caught, I will deduct your wages for eighty years! Amber pursed her lips, then bent down and carried to the table a cloth bag that she had at her feet—it seemed to contain something metal, and it made a clattering sound when placed on the table.

Under the curious gaze of her subordinates, Amber opened the bag and took out the contents.

It was a combined, encapsulated rune substrate, and it was a special model with a small size.

Amber distributed the rune plates to his men: "Take them, one for each person, and hide them close to you." ”

One of the team members couldn't help but be curious: "Boss...... What are these things? ”

"The good thing for the hair - the Holy Light Resonance Node, part of the White Knight's equipment, but it's specially designed to be taken out of the White Knight's armor and run on its own," Amber said, tucking his base plate into his fanny pack, "Wear it, and you won't have to worry about the so-called 'Inquisition'." ”

The team members were amazed: "So powerful? ”

"Of course, it can even make you act like a devout saint when you're affected by a 'judgment spell' like the Great Divine Word - well, it's not that exaggerated, but it can definitely bluff that flange?? B. Braun," Amber said, a look of disdain, "that guy claims to be the Bishop, but it's just a half-way guy who was improvised after the death of Lemont and a large number of high-ranking transcendents, and I doubt that guy can fully sustain a Great Divine Word." ”

After finishing speaking, a somewhat sly smile suddenly appeared on the face of the half-elf: "And...... These resonance nodes also have some small functions, which will definitely surprise those gods when the time comes. ”

Seeing the curious and expectant eyes of her subordinates, Amber's state of mind was greatly satisfied: now she could finally appreciate what it was like for Gawain to get a circle of envious glances after coming up with a very powerful idea.

However, she didn't bask in this feeling for too long, and she didn't continue to sell it to her teammates - the operatives had to know what the props they were equipped were for, which was the key to ensuring the success of the mission, so after a little grunge, she began to seriously explain the effects of the resonance nodes of the Holy Light......

At the same moment, on a high ground outside Lu'an, Philip, who was in charge of monitoring the situation in Lu'an and carrying out the blockade mission, came to deliver support supplies.

"It's almost time for those gangsters in Luan to get out," said Byron, who had the temperament of a soldier, to Philip with a big grin, "I have brought in weapons to fight them." ”

"Weapons?" Philip, who was on a blockade mission, looked at the material wagons brought by his old partner with some curiosity, "Didn't you say that you won't directly attack Lu'an City?" ”

"Of course we're not going to attack." Byron grinned, as if trying to make a mysterious smile, but in fact he smiled like an orangutan who had successfully stolen a banana, and as soon as he saw his partner smile like this, Philip knew that it was a mission arranged by the lord and that the bad water in the old fritter's stomach hit it off.

He didn't ask, because he knew that the old fritter in front of him would definitely not be able to bear it.

"We brought 100,000 leaflets," Byron, and sure enough, he said on his own initiative without holding out for a few seconds, "stuffed in a cannonball." ”
