"I've seen adults!" Your Excellency!" Lord Wild Wolf!"

As Austin walked along, everyone around him stood up and saluted, and Austin nodded in response. With a period of contact, people's respect for this direct officer gradually outweighed fear.

In the corner of the restaurant, Johnny and Brunei were talking about something, and they saw Austin coming over and quickly got up. Austin raised his hand to stop them from saluting and said, "Sit down, what are you talking about?"

"Chief," Johnny looked a little worried, "this operation is not just as simple as facing the rebels, right? What's more, there are at least three Sixth-Order Official Candidates in Hanjiang City, all of whom are now seriously injured, and I suspect that the other side is not as simple as described in the battle report. ”

Austin shook his glass, frowned, and said, "Of course, if it wasn't particularly tricky, he wouldn't have sent us over, and he had to trust the judgment of the assessment department." ”

Brunei's face was indescribably cold, and he said: "I have received news here that the military department sent two divisions from the Northern Thunderstorm Legion to maintain law and order, but I think the posture of suppressing the rebels is almost the same, I don't know what the intelligence department is doing this time, and the battle report that came back turned out to be ......"

"Permissions, or not enough, I've seen more detailed battle reports from Lord von Lantlin, but only a small part. One of them I came across by chance, the Northern Barbarian Invasion. Austin said.

If it is really a barbarian invasion, the whole country will definitely be mobilized to prepare for war, how can the news be blocked?"

Austin snorted and said: "Bureaucracy, always trying to grasp all the information in their own hands, as if it can reflect how high their status is, but the result is a serious asymmetry of intelligence between the upper and lower levels." ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Johnny, when you get to the place, get a batch of heavy firepower and equip them, if the local garrison doesn't allow it, you know what to do. Brunei, I know that there are your spies everywhere, and you will contact them as soon as you land, and I want the most complete story of the incident. ”

Johnny nodded, and Brunei said, "Our influence in the north has always been weak, but I do my best. ”

Looking at the priest of the Inquisition, who was still sitting together, Johnny nodded and asked, "This group of people is still the same as before, is there anything that needs special attention?" ”

Austin stared at them for a moment, and only when Rhein even sensed it and raised his head slightly, did Austin withdraw his gaze.

"It doesn't matter, it is really unreasonable to send a jury for such a crackdown, and there is no news of heresy...... But it's always good to have one more job picker, as long as you don't get used as a gunman by him. Tell your subordinates to only obey the orders of the five of us, and the other members of the Operations Department have the right to refuse, regardless of the rank and title of the other party, what is written in the regulations, and emphasize it to them again. ”

"Understood. Brunei nodded.

Austin looked around again and said, "Why didn't I see the blazing bear?"

"That big guy was seasick, oh no, seasickness...... After coming up, I vomited a little, so I took two pills to rest. ”

“......”

The next morning, the winter sun is always as tired as hibernating animals, and only at noon can it be seen, and sometimes even the day is gloomy and dark, with thick clouds and snow blocking out all vision.

Austin stood by the porthole, looking at the city below through the specially reinforced glass, his face was pale, and the tendons on his neck were constantly beating. Beside him, Rhine was also gloomy as if it was about to drip water, and the sunny and peaceful expression on his face was replaced by solemnity.

"What the hell is this called a riot? What era have you seen the rebels burn down half of the city? The group of rubbish who conveyed the information had tofu scum in their heads!"

Listening to Austin's almost roaring tone, the people around him did not stop him in the slightest, but instead showed an expression of "probably tofu dregs".

Below is the Hanjiang City marked on the map, but it has completely changed, and half of the city, which once intersected trade routes, is now in ruins, and thick smoke is everywhere, and a strong smell of smoke seems to be smelled from the float boats parked above.

The other half of the city is in order, with Austin's view of the army below, like worker ants walking through the passages of the nest. The float boat got lower and lower, and gradually Austin could even see that there was no heavy cannon roaring below, and one shell after another whistled towards the city on the other side, destroying the ruins again.

At the same time, there were constant groups of troops heading to the city on the other side, followed by the sound of fierce firefights or scattered debris from the shock of the source.

Not to mention the rebellion, even the chaos after the Northern Barbarians attacked the city was nothing more than that.
