Chapter 47: Preparing for Encirclement and Suppression
Clear Sky simply turned around and walked out the door.
Samr looked at his chest, the wound had healed, and the power he had received from the demonic tyrant had not disappeared with the dissolution of the contract. Although he didn't know what Clear Sky and the tyrant talked about in a state of suspended animation, it was obviously not just as simple as smooth, but that Clear Sky had an overwhelming advantage over the tyrant in the negotiation.
That's an ancient high-level demon!
Samr shouted at Clear Sky's back, "Thank you, Miss Clear Sky. ”
Clear Sky didn't stop, she walked out of the main hall without looking back, and the kestrel withdrew the thin sword that was holding against the broken wood and followed Clear Sky away.
Broken Wood saluted the departing clear sky, then closed the door to the castle.
Luke, who waited for the event to end, said, "The next thing is our time. ”
Samr immediately got up from his position, and he walked up to Luke and got down on one knee.
"Lord Governor Meteor, you have fulfilled your promise to calm my soul, and I have fulfilled my promise to offer you my loyalty. From this moment on, your will will be the direction in which I travel, and I will defend all your honor and majesty with my weapons. ”
Luke said to Samur, "I accept your allegiance, get up!" Let's talk about the Abyss Temple, they should have a plan to assassinate me. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Samr stood up and sat down on the chair to Luke's left, and he took out a map from his pocket and spread it on the table: "The head of the Abyss Temple in the imperial capital is the Fourth Abyss Apostle Radley Morris. The Archduke of Celts has issued assassination orders against members of the Imperial Family and many high-ranking ministers, including you. Originally, these assassination missions were carried out by the Brotherhood of Blades in the Imperial Capital, but this suicide assassination was rejected by most of the Blades.
So the Abyss Temple killed them all......"
Samr couldn't help but sigh a little at this point, after all, he was under pressure to participate in the attack, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the bleak state of the Brotherhood of Blades.
"In this war, the dead are dead, and the living have to find a way to live," Luke said. There is no right or wrong, only the harsh reality.
Go on......"
"Yes, sir!"
Samr told him everything he knew about the Abyss Temple. Including the number of mages lurking in the Imperial Capital Abyss, their hiding places, and their disguised identities.
At the time of the narration, Samr also marked the Abyss Temple's stronghold in the imperial capital on the map.
"The Abyss Temple uses the identity of a grain merchant as a cover, and has many grain stores in the imperial capital, and the channels for selling grain and delivering grain constitute a network of connections between them. Dessert shops, bakeries and restaurant kitchens all over the city form the tentacles of their intelligence system.
In addition to these, there are many people with status who are controlled by the abyss mages using occult techniques and secretly serve them. ”
The Celtic Grand Duke had a sense of war crisis for a long time, so he established an intelligence system in the imperial capital very early. The Brotherhood of Blades is one, the Abyss Temple is another, and it's even deeper.
Luke listened to Samuel and compared the records on his phone. Most of them are correct, and the other part should not be that Samr deliberately did not say it, but that he really did not know.
He was able to find out so much information about the Abyss Temple, which was already very powerful.
Luke put away the map on the table and said to Samir, "Your intelligence is very valuable, and when I destroy these abyssal mages, I will be able to pull out this nail that has been nailed to the heart of the Empire."
Your mission is to continue to lurk and retract the remaining bayonets in the Imperial Capital. Don't make your relationship with me public for now, and see if the Celtic Grand Guild will reactivate your only remaining intelligence network in the imperial capital. ”
Luke stood in the position of the Grand Duke of Celtic and thought, although the assassins of the imperial capital who have undergone a great purge cannot undertake important intelligence and assassination tasks, but after the abyss mage in the imperial capital was put to death, he can only rely on the remaining stabbing intelligence system here to obtain information about the imperial capital.
Samr continued to serve the Celtic Grand Dukes, assisting the Barbarian Legion in their fight against the Empire's Southern Front army with the right intelligence to gain the trust and reliance of the Celtic Grand Duke.
Intelligence fraud at critical times can definitely work wonders.
Samr could of course understand Luke's intentions, and he said, "Yes, my lord, I know what to do. We can't meet very often in the future, and if there is anything you need to do it, you can give me orders through the broken wood.
If it hadn't been for Honki telling me personally, I wouldn't have known that he was connected to Quickleg, both of them are very good stabbing blades. ”
Luke looked at Broken Wood, who was standing with Fast Legs and looked much more relaxed than before. After all, you have become your own person, and you don't have to be embarrassed by loyalty and affection.
"Do it. I'm going to ask Rag Waves City to allocate funds for your activities on time, and I won't let you have any financial difficulties in developing your information. Luke then said to Quickleg, "You tell Viscount Iscoran about the situation here, and if there is anything that needs to be solved by Samuel as soon as possible." In addition, the training system of the stabbing blade must be re-established, and they will be needed on a wider battlefield in the future. ”
Samur, Quicklegs, and Broken Wood replied together, "Yes, Lord Governor!" ”
Luke ends his meeting with Samr and asks Breakwood to send them out of the space safe house.
Returning to the Sixth Office of the Special Agent, Luke did not rest, but reorganized all the personnel and strongholds of the Abyss Temple in the imperial capital overnight according to Samir's intelligence and his own supplements.
In particular, the location where the Fourth Apostle Morris is hiding, as well as his range of activities.
Early the next morning, Luke handed over the information he had compiled to the professional agents he had brought with him, and asked them to verify and step on the information on it.
When Sinclair came to work, Luke called him to his office, and the two of them made a plan to encircle and suppress the Abyss Temple's forces in the imperial capital based on the intelligence.
At this time, the eldest prince Fania had already handed over the available forces to Sinclair. Sinclair, who served in the north and had rich experience in warfare, showed his strength at this moment to formulate an airtight encirclement and suppression plan.
In the afternoon, the secret agents sent out to verify the information returned.
The Wind Mill Flour Mill is the core of the Abyss Temple's intelligence system in the Imperial Capital. Located on the western outskirts of the city of Saint-Lynn, it is a steam-powered flour mill with a very large output.
Food is a city's rigid need, and flour mills connect grain merchants and flour end customers, and can analyze a lot of valuable information through food supply. The Wind Mill Flour Mill was not only one of the food suppliers of the city garrison, but even participated in the supply of food to the Imperial Legion on the southern front, and it had to be defeated.
The owner of the Mill Mill Mill was named Peter Auston, the nephew of the head of a powerful office under the Imperial Grain Administration. Obsessed with the arcane arts, Auston became acquainted with an Abyss mage while studying the forbidden arts, and joined the Abyss Temple.
With the connections of his uncle and the secret support of the Abyss Temple, Auston became a very important food supplier in the city of St. Lun in a short period of time, and also bought a very large house in the upper city.
The fourth apostle, Morris, hid in this house.
After completing the battle plan to encircle and suppress the Abyss Mage, Sinclair said to Luke: "This house that Morris is hiding, as long as there are enough troops, there is no problem in attacking it. But according to your information, the Abyss Mage has dug a large altar of mystic magic and intricate labyrinthine tunnels underground.
If the Abyss Mage retreats inside, it will take a lot of casualties to annihilate them. And if you delay too long, it is very likely that important enemy figures will escape.
Morris is an apostle of the abyss who has lived for more than a hundred years, and it is up to him to deal with him...... The assistance of a royal knight is required. ”
"My informant told me that Morris had many meetings with His Majesty's immediate entourage," Luke said. If our plan is known to the Royal Knights, there is a risk that the plan to encircle and suppress the Abyss Mages will be thwarted. ”
Sinclair was surprised to hear the news from the falling star: "Your informant is not reliable!" How could His Majesty have secretly come into contact with the Abyss Temple? ”
This was all that Samr told Luke, and considering the current state of Augustine the Great, he believed this information.
Luke said to Sinclair, "The present Augustine the Great is no longer the fearless emperor of the empire he once was. The fear of death led him to secretly launch many experiments related to prolonging his life.
The power of the abyss, which allowed the abyss apostle, who was also a human race, to live for more than a hundred years, had a great temptation for His Majesty, making him ignore the dangers that the abyss would bring.
Think about what the Abyss Apostle did to Oulu Academy a hundred years ago, whether it is for the sake of the Empire or for the sake of His Majesty's reputation, we must solve this matter as quickly as possible. ”
This fact hit Sinclair very hard.
He regarded his grandfather as his idol from an early age, and a large part of his military career was due to the influence of Augustine the Great. When Augustine the Great was young, he led the imperial army to many influential victories.
Sinclair had the impression that Augustine the Great was an emperor who never knew what to fear, and dared to charge in the face of any enemy.
And now Augustine the Great, in order to prolong his life, actually wants to transform into an abyss apostle?
In the Golden Shield Empire, the more people respected the Oulu Academy, the more they hated the Abyss Temple. Coupled with the actions of the abyssal mages, they are as hostile as necromancers.
Is Your Majesty crazy?
Sinclair said: "Then don't tell the royal knights, I will personally lead the team to kill Moores." ”
Who thought Luke said: "Morris has Miss Sunny Sky to deal with, and you can take charge of the other abyss mages." ”
Sinclair asked in surprise, "Miss Sunny Sky also participated in this encirclement?" ”
Luke said, "How can you destroy the Abyss Temple without the Oulu Academy, Miss Sunny Sky will bring a few Oulu mages to participate in this battle." The Abyss Apostle Morris can hand it over to them, she has experience in killing the Abyss Apostle. ”
With Clear Sky and the support of Mage Oulu, Sinclair let go of his worries, he really didn't have the confidence to defeat an Abyss Apostle.
The battle plan has been formulated, and the addresses and characters that should be confirmed have also been confirmed.
Sinclair rendezvous with Clear Sky to attack the residence of the grain merchant Auston and annihilate the backbone of the Abyss Mages, including the Fourth Apostle, in the imperial capital. Luke took agents from Agent 6 and a part of the city's garrison to attack the Mill Mill on the outskirts of the city.
Other trash fish and strongholds are also in charge.
In this battle, the imperial side used a total of 236 imperial secret agents, 3,650 imperial guards of Shenglun City, 345 vehicles of various types, 120 heavy war equipment, and 15 large and small steam airships.
The target is 158 Abyss Mages, the unknown armed personnel who are attached to the Abyss Temple are unknown, and 34 officials need to be arrested.
Attack time: 1 midnight.
Sinclair took out his pocket watch and checked the time with Luke, and then left Agent Six. He also had to go to the barracks to assign personnel to assign tasks, and the time was a little tight.
Luke did not rush to release the evening mission, but vaguely ordered everyone not to leave work at night and wait for the combat mission.
Then he called Karina, Shelley, and Sandpaper.
After informing them of tonight's mission, Luke pulled out another map and spread it on the table.
Sandpaper immediately recognized the area with the most symbols on the map: "This is the Crusader's armor factory!" ”
"Yes, the armor factory of the Warrior of the Cross." Luke, who had not rested for a day and a night, took out a bottle of potion from a drawer and drank it, soothed his fatigue and continued: "After my careful consideration, tonight's operation, if expanded, is a good opportunity to deal with the crusader project. ”
Then Luke told the three of them his temporary thoughts.
To be able to rescue his sister so quickly, sandpaper is, of course, a pair of hands and double ponytails to support.
But the sandpaper vote didn't work.
Luke asked Shelley, "This kind of military problem is your forte, tell me your opinion." ”
Shelley carefully looked at the two tactical maps, and quickly deduced tactics based on his own forces and the target's forces, based on the Governor's objectives.
"Lord Doge, there are not many Abyss Mages at the Wind Mill Flour Mill, and the factory guards and workers are no match for the regular Imperial army. The Imperial Capital City Garrison belongs to the Empire's elite legion, a thousand garrison guards and our spies, enough to end the battle in a short time.
The armor factory where the Crusader Project is located is a military factory, and not only has a strong guard force, but also a military camp of the city garrison nearby. If it is for the purpose of occupation, it will be difficult to meet your expectations. ”
"The support of the garrisons in nearby cities is not considered, nor is it aimed at occupying factories," Luke said. Is it feasible for a large force to attract the main force of the target and cover the elite squad to break through and capture people? ”
Shelley did another tactical exercise.
"Yes!"
With Shelley's affirmation, Luke made up his mind.
"Sandpaper went to find the kestrels, and in order to make the operation go smoothly tonight, you guys carefully checked all our equipment."
Sandpaper jumped up happily and saluted Luke, "Yes, Lord Governor." I guarantee that all combat equipment tonight will be in the best condition! ”
Watching Sandpaper run out, Luke said to Karina, "You and Shelley have all the supplies we need tonight. Be careful with confidentiality...... Not a single word is allowed to leak out before the action. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
