Although Danielle did not know what was happening, he still honestly obeyed Melard's orders and invited Ling Ze into the castle of the Oberg Assassin Society, which was very "European-style", and at first glance, it was a noble castle built in the mountains.

Although this kind of castle is rare in the empire, it is not uncommon, and there are basically big nobles in every place, and there are even many in some places, so their big castle is not too eye-catching.

And in fact, in the eyes of the locals, this itself is a territory of great nobles that has been inherited for many years, and the history of the Oberg family is rumored to have existed since the founding of the empire, and the locals have long been accustomed to the existence of this Oberg Castle.

"How, does our Oberge history instill a visceral respect for you?"

Maillard led Ling Ze through the doorway, through the palatial hall, and into the Ruler Corridor, which led to the middle of the mountain, where on both sides were more than two dozen portraits of the leaders of the Oberg Assassin Society, and next to their portraits, their contributions and exploits to the family would be marked.

For example, the commander of a certain generation killed a big man who became famous in the empire, causing an uproar in the empire, and how much "financial support" he received as a result, raising the level of their Oberg assassin association, etc.

Although there are not many stories about each of the former Lords, the significance of the existence of this corridor is absolutely extraordinary to the Orberg Assassins.

"Very good, the account of you must be very rich, because you have made this wise decision, and the future Oberg people will benefit a lot, and they will definitely be grateful to you."

Ling Ze nodded, but his answer made the corners of Maillard's mouth twitch, she and Ling Ze had completely opposite thoughts, now don't think about what will happen to her posthumous name, just this ancestor and seniors, I'm afraid they are all going to be angry with her approach.

But there is no way to do it, after all, if she doesn't do this, I'm afraid that the portraits of these ancestors and predecessors will not be able to be saved, she is also a person who has to bow her head under the eaves, if their strength is strong enough, then who is willing to abandon their honor and join others?

Maillard is quite comfortable with herself, her mentality is very well adjusted, and she does not directly break the defense.

"I'm really ashamed of our ancestors, it's our strength that is not good, and we almost want to break Oberg's inheritance, I ask the ancestors and ancestors not to blame Maillard, she has worked hard enough, but the enemy is too strong, we are here to protect Oberg's inheritance."

On the contrary to Maillard, Barbara was nervous, she thought at first that if she brought Ling Ze to the base, Maillard should be able to solve the other party, but who would have thought that the ending would be like this?

"You may be seated, this is our conference hall, and I will gather all the Oberg Assassins at the headquarters and let them all understand the change of position in the future, do you think this is okay?"

Entering the real headquarters in the middle of the mountain, and came to a place similar to the Great Hall, Maillard said to Ling Ze, the area in this mountain is still very large, and there should be many buildings in it, and the Assassins usually live here.

"You don't have to go through such a big deal of work, the people under your hands don't understand who they are working for, that's your own business, I don't care about this matter, I just need to let you understand who you are working for."

Ling Ze waved his hand and rejected Maillard's request, although he now took a fancy to the ability of the Oberg Assassin Society to do things and incorporated them into the organization, but for this old Assassin family that had existed in the shadows for so long, he actually did not intend to keep it.

This kind of old family with a complete self-structure, it is difficult to be able to truly integrate into their system, which is different from the Tao of Anning, which is the worship of gods, and even that god is made up, and if you want to operate it, it is naturally very operable.

And the family history of Oberg, as recorded in the corridor of the rulers, is the result of the efforts of generations of Oberg people, and it is very difficult for him, an outsider, to replace the Oberg family.

Moreover, Ling Ze himself was born in an assassin training institution, and they naturally knew the dirt and filth of this kind of place, this Oberg family could be used as a tool, but if they were really partners in life and death, it would be spared in Ling Ze's opinion.

As for Ling Ze's reply, while Maillard breathed a sigh of relief, he was obviously a little anxious.

Her performance was very contradictory, because she was a very smart person, and the moment Ling Ze rejected her, she had actually thought of Ling Ze's arrangement for them.

Although she is happy that her power does not need to be handed over, and her own foundation does not need to be handed over to others to take charge, where should her own future go, how to control her own destiny, and not be "killed by cunning rabbits and cooked by lackeys", has also become a difficult problem haunting her mind.

"How many combatants do you have, how many informants do you have, and to what extent is the intelligence network of the entire empire arranged?"

Ling Ze sat on the main seat of the conference hall and began to inquire into the family of the Oberg Assassin Society.

And Maillard and the others sat down awkwardly, sitting in an unfamiliar position, waiting for Ling Ze to ask questions.

After hearing Ling Ze's question, Maillard looked at her "butler" Danielle, this kind of detailed question, she naturally won't remember, but Danielle must remember.

"At present, we have about seven or eight hundred combatants, all of whom are very elite professional assassins, and there are about four or five thousand intelligence officers, basically all over the empire."

Danielle pushed his glasses and answered Ling Ze's question, he actually didn't remember it in detail, not to the point of one person or two, because those who do their job may be sacrificed at any time, and there may be newcomers who have completed training to work at any time, and the specific number of statistics is meaningless, he just needs to have an understanding of the dynamic range.

"Yes, it is worthy of being a large organization that has been inherited for thousands of years, relying on the strength of a big family to support so many assassins and intelligence officers, it is really amazing."

Ling Ze understood that in addition to the five or six thousand main members, there must be a lot of eyeliner, logistics personnel, coaching corps, and so on, and their number added up, to say the least, there must be a scale of thirty or forty thousand people.

This is not what the "King of Horses" Muruk could compare to at the beginning, the number of "King of Horses" Muruk, but counting the old and weak, women and children, the number of Oberg is not counted.

"What do we need to do?"

Mayald, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, asked Ling Ze directly, even if Ling Ze now praised them for the Oberg Assassin Society, Maillard would not be happy now.

After all, after knowing that Ling Ze didn't intend to let them integrate into the core, the stronger their power was, the more it seemed that Ling Ze's suspicions would be aggravated, and they would add an extra bargaining chip to their end that should be eliminated and banned.

"Assassinate the officials and generals of the empire, use your intelligence network to find those moths in the empire, find the minions of the ministers, and then uproot them all, create chaos and tension in the empire, and pave the way for the joint uprising between the north and the south after us and the revolutionary army."

The mission that Ling Ze issued to the Oberg Assassins Society can be said to be very simple and crude, which is probably equivalent to the role of the [Night Raid] organization in the original book.

However, if you want these people to do what the [Night Raid] does, it is too difficult for them, after all, the [Night Raid] are all imperial envoys, and they are incomparable.

“......”

Maillard was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly, but she accepted it anyway, knowing that this task would inevitably take a big toll on their strength.

After all, doing so basically declares that they are in an all-out war with the Empire, and they will directly collide with the Empire's intelligence network and assassination group, and fight with this equally historic empire with the strength of their family, although they have some advantages in the shadows, but it will undoubtedly not be a simple matter.

"If it was a simple matter, I wouldn't have asked you to do it, the poison-quenching knife of the Oberg Assassin Society, of course, will be stabbed in the heart of the empire."

Ling Ze saw Maillard's hesitation, but he didn't waver, he was a powerful party, naturally he could dispose of the other party at will, this is the way he has always believed in doing things, the difference between him and Estes is that he still has a relatively ordinary three views, at least in terms of the common people.

However, a "terrorist organization" like the Oberg Assassin Society, which exists in the dark, is naturally impossible to be treated with Ling Ze's kindness, and this kind of "terrorist organization" is already good if it is not directly destroyed by Ling Ze.

Of course, although it has not been destroyed yet, whether it will be destroyed in the future depends on the performance of these people.

"I'll put my words here, your fate is in your own hands, what kind of result you will be in the future, what kind of status you will be, depends on your own efforts, although I don't like your family inheritance, but it has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds."

Ling Ze didn't play dumb riddles with Maillard and them, but directly said the words clearly, if they behaved well enough, then Ling Ze would not really do that kind of "unloading the mill and killing the donkey", at least he would be lenient.

"Yes, Lord Ling Ze."

was directly suppressed by Ling Ze's force, and learned about Ling Ze's thoughts, Melard and the others naturally understood what they should do, in fact, the meaning of Ling Ze's words was very clear to remind them, don't think about betting on both sides, don't think about paddling, and wait for the final result of the battle.

If they dare not make a effort, if they dare to vacillate between the empire and the Northwest Army and the Revolutionary Army, then Ling Ze will definitely not be able to give them any good fruit to eat.

"That's it, start acting as soon as possible, I will send someone to hand over the work with you, in addition to your own subjective initiative, you have to find the target to clean up, I will also provide you with an assassination list on a regular basis, you can choose for yourself, which people to assassinate first."

Ling Ze left such a sentence, and simply got up and left, not staying long in the Oberg Assassin Society.

After Ling Ze left, Maillard and his henchmen gathered, Barbara Oberg, Danielle, Cassandora, Gilbert, Taeko, Chelsea, and the veteran Assassins of the Oberg family.

"Commander, do we really want to follow that man's orders and go to all-out war with the Empire? That's no joke, and if we don't get it right, our entire family might disappear. ”

Danielle's face was very solemn, he knew that at this moment, the Oberg Assassin Society had reached a critical moment of life and death, and this decision that was about to be made would determine the fate of their thousand-year-old Assassin Order.

"Wait and see."

Maillard sat down at the head of the room, rubbing the handle of her chair as she narrowed her eyes.

"Look at the names on the first list he sent, if there are Estes and Bud on it, then we will directly turn to the Empire, if not, then we will try to do it first."

Melard's choice is quite reasonable, she was not really bluffed by Ling Ze, if Ling Ze asked them to kill Estes and Bude, it would be to let them die, then there would be no need for them to go along with Ling Ze anymore, and go directly to the empire and be attached to the empire to finish their work.

After all, then they can at least have a way to live, but if the list sent by Ling Ze is still sincere, then they can still try to complete it, after all, the decay of this empire, those of them who live in darkness, are actually the ones who know best.

As for whether the empire can survive the joint attack of the revolutionary army and the northern army, Melard really has no confidence, especially with the terrifying Ling Ze in the northern army, the weight of Estes's bargaining chips on the empire's side has also become lighter.

"Okay, that's it!"

As soon as the people of the Oberg Assassins Association were combined, they decided to implement it according to Merad Oberg's ideas, and since the plan was finalized, everyone dispersed directly, and they still needed to digest today's matter.

After Ling Ze left the Oberg Assassin Society, he directly returned to the north, but he did not return to Longxi County in the northwest for the first time, but wandered around the countryside in the north for a while.

Anyway, he didn't have anything to do for the time being, as a hands-off shopkeeper, with a capable subordinate like Nahaxiu, it was really too easy, Ling Ze decided to go back and give Nahaxiu a raise, although he didn't know if they had a salary at all.

And the purpose of Ling Ze's wandering around the north is naturally to try his luck and see if he can find the "male protagonist" Tazmi in this world, which is also a good talent.

However, Ling Ze only remembered that Tazmi was from the north, because their village had the belief of the Tao of Tranquility, which meant that they could not be in the south or the Central Plains, the imperial capital.

But where it was, Ling Ze didn't know very well, so he just wandered around the northern border casually, and after not finding it, he simply left and returned to Didao City, Longxi County, after all, he also had to arrange for Nahaxiu and the people from the Oberg Assassin Association to do the handover.

"You definitely want to exhaust me, my side and An Ning Dao, the handover with Aurelian has not been completed, why do you have to do the handover with that assassin association?"

Regarding the "good news" brought by Ling Ze, Nahaxiu said that Alexander, because he had been busy recently, but Ling Ze was still increasing his workload, and he only felt that he was lacking in skills now.

"This job is relatively simple, you only need to collect information and send someone to send it to them, and it doesn't take much effort."

Ling Ze sat on the recliner in Nahaxiu's office, and said very leisurely to Nahaxiu who was buried in a pile of documents, Nahaxiu's height was not high, and when he was buried in that pile of documents, it seemed even more inconspicuous.

"Alas~ Okay, okay, don't worry about it, if you're okay, don't disturb my work here, and Boni too, I've been bothering my work lately, and I've just been kicked out by me, and you're here again."

Nahaxiu sighed helplessly, obviously speechless by this, but his words made Ling Ze stunned.

"Did Bonnie realize what I meant?"

Ling Ze was skeptical, he believed in Boni's IQ, and the idiot definitely didn't understand what he meant, so he simply left Nahaxiu's office and went to find Boni, he wanted to see how the guy found out.

"Boss! You can help me! Nahasiu! Nahasiu! He looks like he's about to be snatched away by that guy named Aurelian! ”

The moment she saw Ling Ze, Poni, who was already extremely anxious, her eyes lit up, as if she had found a savior, she rushed towards Ling Ze, hugged Ling Ze's thigh and began to cry.

“......”

Ling Ze shook his leg and shook off the Bonnie hanging on it, and then he asked the girl strangely.

"How did you find out about this?"

And the answer given by Boni is not so strange, she found the clue through some small details, Aurelian and Nahasiu are always together, and as soon as she goes to Nahasiu, Nahasiu will say that she is very busy with work, let her play by herself first, so it is inevitable that Boni will be uncomfortable.

However, this time Ling Ze was on Nahasiu's side, because no matter what, Nahasiu and Aurelian were both working, and he had just increased the workload for Nahasiu, so he was embarrassed not to stand on Nahasiu's side.
