Chapter 32: Coerced Confessions
Having obtained a whole bottle of Life Spring, Goode was confident and found twenty experts from the original Anka family, including great swordsmen, magicians, and strategists who specialized in analyzing and collecting intelligence.
After making sure that all the toxins in his body were removed, under his lead, the captives successively expressed their allegiance and followers to Yang Ling. Using this group of rare talents, Yang Ling transferred another group of people to form a preliminary intelligence network, codenamed Parrot. The situation in the town of Wieson is becoming more and more complicated, and without timely and accurate intelligence, it will be very reactive.
With the support of various human and material resources, the parrot quickly got on the right track. Some people pretended to be mercenaries who had just arrived and mixed in with the mercenaries, some people pretended to be small vendors setting up stalls on the streets, some people pretended to be homeless homeless people, and the townspeople of Wiesen sent a lot of information.
In order to verify the accurate surname of the intelligence, under Goode's arrangement, Cassie led people to secretly arrest several suspicious characters and torture them to extract confessions. There were more and more mercenaries and adventurers pouring into the town of Wisson, and the forces of various parties were constantly clashing, and the sudden decrease in a few people did not attract much attention.
According to various intelligence and confessions from the captives, the situation gradually became clear. It turns out that since the rumor of the discovery of the ancient dragon's treasure in the Truss Forest, a large number of mercenaries and adventurers have poured in from all directions in an attempt to find the dragon's treasure first. It is even rumored that some powerful people who have been in seclusion for many years have rushed over.
Although the mercenaries and adventurers who poured in were numerous, most of them were from the Bantu Empire, the Rus Empire, and the Alliance of the Duchy of Livensa. These three forces are closest to the Truss Forest, and their relationship with each other is complex and delicate.
The Bantu Empire was rich in products and national strength, while the Rus' Empire in the north was vast and famous for its cavalry. For the sake of resources such as land and crystal mines on the border, the two empires have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and they have won and lost each other. Years of feuds have accumulated and the samurai of the two countries have come together, and a simple quarrel can turn into a large-scale scuffle.
The Principality of Livingza was sandwiched between the Bantu and Rus' empires and consisted of a total of fifteen principalities. The business is developed, not only there are many magicians, but also many powerful mercenary groups. So for so many years, although the Bantu and Rus empires wanted to annex these dozen or so principalities, they have not been able to get their hands on them. The Principality of Livingza also tried to maintain neutrality between the two empires, hoping to be left and right.
This time, after a large number of mercenaries gathered in the town of Wisson, Bantu and the people of the Rus Empire started a large-scale melee from a simple quarrel, which caused a bloody storm in the town of Wissen. Mercenaries from the Principality of Livenza and elsewhere remained neutral and watched from the sidelines.
Due to its proximity to the town of Wissen, in terms of numbers, there are more mercenaries from the Bantu Empire, and they have a clear upper hand in the melee. If it weren't for Yang Ling's forcible suppression, I'm afraid that those black-armored warriors from the Bantu Empire would have been bloodied in Shangri-La last time.
"Goode, do you mean to say that this is just an ordinary scuffle?" After listening to Goode's report, Yang Ling remained silent.
"Due to insufficient intelligence, it is not possible to analyze whether the two sides of the melee have deeper intentions. Goode hesitated for a moment, then continued, "However, since more and more people are pouring into Wesson Town, it is better to further strengthen the defenses!"
During this time, although there were large and small melee from time to time, the number of people pouring into Wieson Town not only did not decrease, but increased, which brought heavy pressure to Cassie, who was in charge of defense, and Goode, who was in charge of intelligence. Goode, in particular, is busy all day long, not only supervising the expansion of the Shangri-La Annex, but also analyzing intelligence and planning corresponding actions.
"Quietly register the population and property of the residents, hehe, Goode, don't you think this is a bit abnormal?" Yang Ling took out a bit of information from his arms and said coldly: "The reason why they came to Weisen Town, the mercenaries were either hired by the accompanying merchants, or they took on the task of hunting the Crystal Nucleus of Warcraft, but have you ever seen the mercenaries who registered the population and property of the residents?"
Quietly register the population and property of the population?
After receiving the information that Yang Ling threw on the table, Goode was shocked, and he understood two points in an instant. First, these mercenaries are definitely not as simple as fighting on the surface. Second, Yang Ling also has secret intelligence sources, and he knows many secrets that he doesn't know without leaving home.
Whoever is in power, there is definitely more than one eyes and ears and one cronie, although he was surprised and shocked, Goode quickly calmed down. Yang Ling's origin is mysterious, although everyone understands that he comes from a wealthy nobleman, but no one knows which family it is. For wealthy and powerful nobles, it is normal to have multiple ears and eyes, but it is not normal to have only one eyes and ears.
Goode was surprised, but if he knew that Yang Ling was just looking for the brother of the guard Agusu, the thief Aksu, he would be even more surprised.
In the eyes of most rich and powerful aristocrats, thieves like Aksu are not as humble as a dog, but Yang Ling is different, these old fritters who steal chickens and dogs are also a talent when they are used well. Sometimes, what they overhear or see is indispensable intelligence.
"Goode, did the leader of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment, Keinuvis, confess?"
"No, still haven't spoken!" Goode shook his head, he had been so busy that he hadn't really tried to figure out how to get Keenervis to speak.
"Hey, let's go, let that old guy stick out his tongue!"
Yang Ling strode out as he spoke, and he had a hunch that Keenervis's secret mission had a certain connection with the complicated situation in front of him. As soon as the old guy's mouth was pried open, a breakthrough was found, a crucial breakthrough.
In the dim light, Keenervis, who had never been able to live in the past, lay motionless on the cold floor, covered in blood. It seems that a lot of hardships have been suffered.
"Get up, Ibilisi, don't know to play dead all day long!" At Yang Ling's signal, two strong barbarians set up Kenutis and poured a basin of icy spring water on his head. Suddenly, Keener was trembling and opened his eyes weakly.
"Kenuves, give you another chance!" Yang Ling paused and said coldly: "Tell me everything you know, otherwise"
"Go on a dream, you have the ability to kill me, hahaha!" Keanuvis laughed as if he were crazy, "Don't take anything out of my mouth, even if you become a ghost, I won't let you go." Hahaha, soon, someone will come to take your life. When the time comes, you'll all have to give our father and son a funeral!"
His son was killed, the mercenary group was wiped out, and Keener was already disheartened. He understood that even if Yang Ling spared his life, after seeing that he had lost his use value, he would not let go of himself in the background, so as not to reveal many secrets. In despair, he was already not afraid of any threat, and hated Yang Ling who caused all this.
Seeing that Keenervis pretended to be crazy, Yang Ling smiled coldly, understanding that the only way to deal with this kind of stubborn outlaw was to take a fierce medicine, and whispered a few words in the ear of the barbarian beside him. The latter was startled, then nodded vigorously.
After taking a deep breath, the rampaging barbarian pinched off Keanuves' calf bone inch by inch, and when he stepped into the ghost gate, he gave him another drop of life spring water, and when he recovered, he would come back again. Over and over again, Keener has repeatedly tasted what it means to live rather than die.
"Ah, you devil, don't want to know any secrets!" A day later, when Yang Ling came to the prison again, Keenervis, who had been tortured to the point of insincerity, still couldn't speak.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude!" After smiling coldly, Yang Ling summoned a hungry horned bee beast and commanded it to pounce on Keanuves's right leg.
When he was beaten by the barbarians, Keinovis could not speak, and when the barbarians pinched off the leg bones inch by inch, he could still grit his teeth and endure it, but when he watched the horned bee beast tear his leg flesh one by one, looking at the terrifying picture, and deeply feeling the sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and burned the soul, he finally collapsed.
Utter collapse!
Under Goode's questioning, the collapsed Keanuvis answered all questions, even telling his wife's sisters what panties they were wearing. At this moment, he didn't ask for his life, but he begged Gude to give him a good time.
It turned out that due to the years of war, the Bantu Empire found that its resources were becoming more and more strained, and in desperation, it fell in love with the resource-rich Terras Forest, and tried to incorporate the town of Wiesen, which did not belong to any force, into its territory.
After conspiring with the minister, in order to prevent the destruction of hostile forces, the king decided to quietly seal the town of Weissen for thousands of miles to the Weiss family, let them occupy and rule the town of Weissen in the name of the family, and prepare to create the established facts before announcing them to the outside world.
Keenervis's secret mission is to be entrusted by the Vess family to investigate and eradicate the forces that may pose a threat to the town of Wiesen. Do all the preliminary work to pave the way for the lord's ascension. According to Kenutweis, in addition to the Tempest mercenary group led by him, the Vis family then sent a large number of family warriors.
Lord Wiesen?
After forcing out Kenowvis's secret, everyone was shocked and vaguely understood what was going on with the recent bloody storm. It seems that after learning the news, the Rus Empire sent people to sabotage, and the warriors of the Weiss family fought endlessly, causing a bloody storm in the town of Wisson.
After pondering for a moment, Goode gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, Weisen Town is our base camp, why don't we do it first and declare a radius of several thousand miles as our territory?"
"No, let them fight to the death first, we don't need to be the cusp!" After a moment of silence, Yang Ling rejected the tempting idea of Gu De to strike first.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!
Whether it is the Bantu Empire or the Rus Empire, they are all wolves that eat people and do not spit out bones, and at this time, they will only become a live target for attacks by various forces. Although his own army of demonic beasts had begun to see its scale, Yang Ling would not be stupid enough to believe that he could fight against an empire with a vast territory. At this moment, it is the king to wait and see what happens.
