"War is actually far away from us!", Wren had to soothe their uneasy emotions in the face of some foreign merchants. It's www.biquge.info good, now he is no longer the lord of Ortlenburg, but no one in the city dares to come here to be the lord except him, and the Empress Pars seems to have forgotten about the city and has not issued any mandate.

Not like the city lord, better than the city lord!

"Isaac and Pilagos are still a long way from us, and if you want to meet the rebels who will never fail, it may be a long time, if not a chance to see them. If the empire is not destroyed, they will not be able to get here, after all, there is still the imperial capital and three provinces in between. ”

"I came back to witness a new miracle. Some of the old Oltlenburgers laughed, they raised their heads and straightened their backs, they no longer felt inferior because they were Oltlenburgers, but they were proud of it. They have done one miracle and are now working another. In September, more than 1 million gold coins were completed in the Ortlenburg Free Market.

This number may be a few steps away from Alexandria, but it is second to none in the southeastern part of the entire empire. The effect of the crowd effect is that more merchants bring their goods and goods to seek opportunities here. More and more people are gathering here, and more and more opportunities are emerging. Ortlenburg is now the "City of Miracles" and "City of Flashes", and it is no longer the city of sin and chaos.

The outbreak of war made some businessmen excited by this, and some businessmen were terrified by it, and most of the panicked businessmen were honest businessmen who were not speculators. They are more interested in and urgently need a stable trading market to protect their interests. These people may not be as active in the larger environment, but it is these people who are the strongest cornerstones in the trading market.

Second, it is also to stabilize the chaos that has been floating in people's hearts recently. Wren stretched out his finger and tapped the armrest, shocking the person in front of him.

Perhaps because of the war, the crime rate in Bell Province has been on the rise recently. If nothing else, the number of cases in Ortlenburg alone is rising every day, which is not a good sign. For Wren, Ortlenburg could not afford any problems, not only as a base but also as an entrance and exit to the Far North ice field.

Therefore, Wren needs to personally soothe the emotions of these people, and promise them that not only will the Imperial rebels not affect them, but even the Byron Empire will not affect the trade here. At the same time, it is also necessary to get rid of some sand and vigorously grasp the problem of public order.

Several caravans were already under close surveillance, both from the Byronic Empire and from within the country, all of whom had the same trait - a love of inquiry.

It is not uncommon for businessmen to inquire, and the more successful the businessman, the more he likes to inquire about big and small news. But most of their inquiries were about the exchange of traded goods and the demand for goods in the market, not about the administrative and military arrangements of Ortlenburg and the entire province of Bell. Not to mention his daily life in Wren, and where he often appears.

These people have more than a simple purpose, which is why they have to be monitored.

If it weren't for the special sensitivity of this pass, the easy slaughter caravan would have brought a series of not very good influences, and Wren would have let these fools be killed a long time ago.

He was waiting, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to put the opportunity in his hands.

And these people are indeed changing their tricks to put the noose on their heads.

Piev, the intelligence chief of the Byron Empire in the province of Bell, was responsible for all political, military, and civilian intelligence in the province. This department has been around for almost a hundred years, but it has been of no use. Piev himself knew very well that no matter what the intelligence was gathered, the Byron Empire would not muster up the courage to fight the Orlando Empire, and he had long concluded this.

Unlike the Orlando Empire, which is dominated by Desi, the Byron Empire has always adhered to an inclusive national policy, constantly absorbing various non-human races, which has indeed played a very key role in the strength and prosperity of the Byron Empire to a certain extent. But at the same time, it is precisely because of this inclusive national policy that there are many races in the Byron Empire, and it is impossible to form an effective and unified political environment.

Each race is fighting for as much as possible for its own race, and they are focused on internal struggles.

Last month, King Charles the Lionheart was still staging a full-fledged military campaign in parliament for a newly excavated ore vein and the Black Elves; the spokesperson of the dragon clan, the half-dragon people, demanded that the empire completely open the trade market to it, in an attempt to use a monopoly to attack the trade of the entire empire; the Naga even bluntly accused the Byron royal family of persecuting the Naga tribe, demanding that the Byron royal family not only apologize publicly, but also compensate the fief and material .......

The officialdom of the entire Byron Empire has become a game hall for various races to compete for power, and even the civil war in the Orlando Empire cannot arouse their interest.

Yes, Piev is sure of this, don't look at the fact that the Imperial side began to send more spies to infiltrate the Orlando Empire, which was just a fig leaf for the royal family. They can't do nothing while their neighbors are in a civil war, can they? Something must be done to let the people below know that the Byronic royal family is still enterprising-bullshit!

It is not surprising that Piev had been in the Orlando Empire for more than twenty years, and that he himself was a Desi, and there was also a part of the Desi in the Byron Empire. These Desi had fully adapted to the relaxed political environment in the Byron Empire, and no longer wanted to return to the Orlando Empire.

During these two decades, Piev believed that the Byron Empire actually had several opportunities to invade the Orlando Empire, and expand its gains in one fell swoop, even taking half of the Orlando Empire. However, these opportunities are in Congress, and they are history in the mess of the big guys. It's as if the Byron Empire didn't want to go to war with Orlando.

Of course, Piev would not have said such a thing, and if he had said it to someone else, then he would have been looking for death, because he had broken the tacit understanding between several races within the empire.

"President, Mr. Okun has arrived with his things. The subordinate knocked on the door, disturbing his thinking, but Piev did not blame, but nodded and stood up. Okun is the person in charge of the overall covert infiltration of the Bell Province from the Byron Empire, and will also replace him as the new director of intelligence.

Within the Empire, Okun had a nickname, the Smiling Assassin. This guy is a smiling dragon who can nod at people on the one hand, and pull a knife directly on his back, without any morality at all.

He once said something that caused a sensation - the interests of the country are above everything of the race and the individual, and if there is a need, everyone should maintain a strong belief in sacrificing for the country.

This phrase created a group of radical groups, but it was limited to that.

The last time the two met was fourteen or fifteen years ago, when Pieev had a brief exchange on his return to China to report on his work, and the two have not seen each other since.

After tidying up his clothes, Piev walked into the parlor with his head held high, he stretched out his hand and smiled to greet him, and the slightly chubby guy greeted him with a sincere smile and raised his hands.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect Pierv's demeanor to have not weakened in the slightest, just like more than ten years ago. Okun praised Piev and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm a lot older, and children often call me grandpa when I walk on the street, I'm really old." He shook his head and smiled wryly.

Piev laughed, "You're sarcastically mocking me, sarcasm that I didn't work well and spent all my time eating, drinking, and having fun." He fought back a little, but he didn't expect that Ou Ken's first sentence would hide a needle in his heart, which made him have a bad premonition in his heart. This meant that Okun was dissatisfied with his work, as well as with the work of the Bell Intelligence Organization as a whole.

It's just that he is new to the city, and it is inconvenient to say it directly, and in this indirect way tell Piev his attitude.

Ou Ken let go of his hand and hurriedly waved his hand, "You are framing, how could I have such thoughts?" But then again, I haven't had a chance to rest all these years, I have been busy with this and that every day, and I have been stumped by all kinds of things all day long, without the slightest respite, and I am really fed up with such days. The two sat down one after another, and the smiles on their faces seemed to have told everyone how good friends they were, "So this time I applied to come to the Orlando Empire, on the one hand, to find out the truth of Orlando, and on the other hand, to rest for a while." ”

Pierve's smile narrowed slightly, and he understood that this was an expression of Okun's dissatisfaction with his attitude and results in his work, and he had always regarded this place as a place to retire. However, he didn't bother to refute that domestic intelligence work and foreign intelligence work are definitely not the same thing. In the country, with the support of the royal family and nobles, as long as the person is careful and courageous, he can do the intelligence work well.

But in foreign countries, careful and bold can become a fatal flaw. No one here will buy the royal account of the Byron Empire, let alone give face to another country. As long as it is exposed, it will be followed by a stormy attack, and if you are not careful, you will stay on this land forever.

After Okun has suffered a few losses, he may understand this truth.

"Is there any specific plan for the Empire this time?", Piev gave up continuing to talk with Okun and began to ask about work, if the Empire had a complete set of plans and plans, maybe the chances of war would be higher. If not, then it means that the various races in the empire are still fighting with each other, and they will continue to fight when this critical time comes.

Okun smiled and shook his head, "These things are classified!", he means that you Piev is about to get out, so you have no right to know these secrets, "Please forgive my presumptuousness, it is really because these plans are too important to ......", he laughed a few times, he believed that Piev knew what he was trying to say.

Piev smiled and scolded for a while, this thing is not affectionate at all, and at the same time, he is also keenly aware of a message, that is, there is no complete plan in the empire. If he had, Okun wouldn't be like that, and even if he didn't say it, he wouldn't show a "I know, but I just won't tell you this weak chicken" expression. His exaggerated attitude and tone, deceiving him Piev with "there is indeed such a thing", betrayed Okun's inner world.

Frustrated, Piev didn't want to continue his research, anyway, no matter what the final result was, it had nothing to do with him, the former intelligence chief. He will receive a large sum of money, and with the money he has earned in Orlando over the years, he will return to the Byron Empire to enjoy his leisure time after retirement.

Twenty years is too long for the head of an intelligence organization! Many intelligence officers will retire in about 10 years, and no one will stay on for a long time. It's not a question of whether you want to continue doing it, it's a matter of personal physical and psychological well-being. Many intelligence officers will be a little hysterical after retirement, always feeling that someone is plotting against them, and they will be suspicious all day long, looking at everyone like a killer, which will eventually lead to an emotional breakdown.

Either become a madman and be put in an insane asylum to fend for himself.

Either that or become a sociopathic killer, constantly killing those they think might hurt them.

Until now, he was able to maintain relative calmness and sanity, and Piev was already thankful for the goddess of nature.

So he didn't resist at all about leaving here, leaving his job, and retiring at the most energetic time in his life, and he was happy about it.

Soon the work of the two was handed over, in fact, there was nothing to hand over, there was already a complete file within the East and West Empire here, and the so-called handover was nothing more than a personnel handover.

Piev left the Chamber with his belongings, without the slightest nostalgia.

For the past twenty years, Piev has been the president of a chamber of commerce in the Orlando Empire, dealing in some inconsequential goods, and of course the profits are not bad. Some of these profits went into the money of intelligence work, and the other part went into his pocket. He is now considered a successful businessman, and he is considering whether to form a merchant group to play after returning to the Byronic Empire.

Rather than espionage work, being a businessman seems to be his real passion.

With a light car, Piev took his belongings and headed for the pass, without the slightest worry, and every two years he had to return to the Byron empire to report to his duties. Sometimes he will personally return to the Byron Empire to buy a batch of scarce supplies, and he has a good relationship with the passes, including the inspection of Ortlenburg, at least a familiar face.

When the towering city wall of the pass stood in front of him, he suddenly panicked for no reason. He looked around, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, and he lowered his voice and told the coachman to speed up.

As long as the carriage passes the pass, he is safe, and after changing transportation, he can return to China in three days at most and enjoy his retirement.

The thought of being able to meet his family soon, the trace of uneasiness in his heart was also suppressed by him, leaving only infinite longing.
