Chapter 103: Underground Forces and Exposure
For more than two years, Xu Yue and Ivo sent a lot of personnel to Walker County to infiltrate the area. Some succeeded, some failed, and died under the dark side here. However, because the people who were sent had signed a magic contract, their intentions were never revealed.
However, there have been many people who have infiltrated various organizations in Walker County, but after all, the time is too short, and neither the number of people nor the level of infiltrators is high, but it is enough to collect information here.
The Mora man who had come to his street was one of the first infiltrators to be sent here, and only four of the dozen or so people in his group were still alive. In a place like Walker County, where chaos and sin abound, it's harder than you think to survive.
Xu Yue sat on the sand and looked at the information that Mora had brought. Although he had read the general information about Walker County before, he did not know such a detailed introduction as it was now. Ivo is inseparable from presiding over the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, so he is in charge of the development of Walker County this time.
Of course, as a mage, although he has only learned quite a bit of knowledge, he still has no idea how to lead troops into battle. Fortunately, in the past two years of exhibitions, in order to find high-level personnel who can lead the escort team, Ai Wo and he spared no expense to buy a lot of fifth- and sixth-order powerhouses in the slave market. These strong people have been strictly reviewed by the two, not only to meet the strength standards, but also to be able to reassure people. Otherwise, if they raise a few white-eyed wolves, although it is impossible to seize the control of the escort team, it will still make them feel depressed if they rebel after gaining free status.
This time, he infiltrated Walker County as the commander to find out what was going on, while the four thousand main convoy members would come from behind. Because of the peculiarities of Walker County itself, it is not a good choice to send troops directly to capture the town. The inhabitants who survive here are the ones who have survived the test of the dark side of Walker County, and they will not allow an outside force to encroach on their territory.
Maybe Xu Yue can temporarily occupy this place with the strong strength of the escort team, but after those local dark forces who feel invincible reappear at this point, they will immediately turn from light to darkness, and then desperately stumble the forces that occupy this place. Assassinations, poisoning, destruction of logistical supplies, and so on. Because of its own familiarity with Walker County. Coupled with the attack of various insidious means, even the strongest team will be completely dragged down. At that time, the local forces hidden in the shadows will dig their own fangs into the weak prey, and there will be no scum left to swallow these foreign forces.
This is not speculation, in fact, after the rebuilding of Walker County by the local dark forces, both the Kingdom of Gruni and the Kingdom of Shia once intended to take this borderland into their territory. But if either side sends a large army, the other side will similarly send an army to obstruct it. After several mutual temptations, the two sides reached a tacit understanding. As long as no more than 5,000 troops are stationed in Walker County. Both sides will not send troops to attack.
In the decades that followed, both countries sent troops of no more than 5,000 men to occupy Walker on several occasions, and on several occasions they actually completely occupied Walker. However, as the local forces went underground, endless insidious methods were constantly used, and the last troops stationed in the army were either wiped out or retreated. There are even some powerful honorary titles who have taken a fancy to this land, but in the end they have all failed. Some were even met with frenzied revenge by the local dark forces in Walker County after their defeat.
Therefore, after studying with Walker, Xu Yue thought that the best way was to destroy or subdue the most prestigious forces in Walker County itself before occupying this place, only in this way would those small local forces be controlled by them because of the lack of dragons after they occupied this place. Otherwise, unless they wanted to kill all the inhabitants of Walkershire, they wouldn't have to think about taking over this crime-ridden commercial town.
After reading the detailed information of Walker County, Xu Yue's brows tightened. Although he had known for a long time that the local forces in Walker County were troublesome, he did not expect that the difficulty of dealing with the local forces was still higher than he expected.
"There may be a seventh-level powerhouse in the six local forces in Walker County, has this news been confirmed?" he asked, putting down the paper with the information written on it with some headache.
Mora stood respectfully beside him and said, "Not confirmed. The intelligence officers sent in the past two years have suffered great losses, although because of the contract, our purpose has not been revealed. However, the local forces seem to have sensed something, so they don't trust the people who have joined in recent years. The highest level of personnel who have infiltrated into the various forces has only climbed to the middle level, and it is difficult for this level to reach the core level of the six local forces. ”
Xu Yue leaned back in his chair and thought for a while and said, "Can you roughly estimate which force is behind a seventh-level powerhouse?"
Mora thought for a moment and said, "There are three forces that we suspect. First, the Black Scorpion Society, which occupied the slave business in Walkershire, had about 2,000 members, and was mainly engaged in the slave circulation and trade in Walker County itself. As one of the six major forces itself, it can be ranked third. Legend has it that behind it stood a certain great man from the Kingdom of Gruni, but it has not been confirmed. In the past two years, the Black Scorpion Society has been developing very quickly, and the few forces behind it dare not provoke them, so we suspect that the Black Scorpion Society may have a seventh-level powerhouse in charge to make other forces so scruples. ”
"The other two are the number one and number two forces?" asked Xu Yue.
"Not bad!" Mora continued, "The second in line is the Blood-Eyed Brotherhood, an underground force that deals mainly in salt and iron, and sometimes resells and smuggles some weapons and armaments, numbering about one thousand and a half. Although the number of people is smaller than that of the black scorpion. But the strength of the personnel is higher than that of the black shoes, and the strength is much stronger. The Blood-Eyed Brotherhood has a ruthless and bloody style, and has caused many large-scale conflicts in Walker County, but the other five organizations have never been dissatisfied with this force. Therefore, we suspect that this force is also one of the forces that may have a seventh-level powerhouse. ”
looked at Xu Yue and didn't say anything. Still listening to him carefully, Mora organized his words and continued, "And then there's the Dark Hand that ranks first. This faction is also the only underground faction in Walker County that has a lot of spellcasters. On the bright side alone, there are two fourth-level magicians and one fifth-level magician. The number of other second- and third-level casters known has reached twelve. This force is the strongest force in Walker County, and even the Blood-Eyed Brotherhood does not dare to provoke the hands of the Dark Devil. And according to the information we have, the fifth-level magician of the Black Devil's Hand is actually only the vice president of the Dark Devil's Hand, and the head president is very mysterious, and almost no outsiders have ever seen it. And it is said that there are also big forces behind this black devil's hand. Therefore, we suspect that the forces behind it may send a seventh-level powerhouse to sit here. ”
Xu Yue rubbed his head with a little headache and said, "In other words, we may encounter more than one seventh-level powerhouse as an opponent, and we will also be hindered by the big forces behind these forces." In addition, once the people of the Gruney Kingdom realize that we have the intention to occupy this place, they will also secretly stumble on us?Doesn't it mean that the local forces are very repulsive to foreign forces, why do I feel as if Walker County has actually been occupied by foreign forces?"
Mora said with a wry smile: "In fact, according to our observations, I am afraid that we are not the only ones who have thought of sending personnel to Walker County to infiltrate this idea, according to some clues, not only the Kingdom of Sia and the Kingdom of Gruni have sent people to infiltrate here. Some other large and small forces are also eyeing the fat here, but the forces of all parties have formed a balance, so no one dares to take the lead in breaking this balance. ”
"In other words, once we occupy Walker County, we will not only offend the local forces, but may even offend those large and small forces together?" Xu Yue said with a narrowed eye.
"That's right, that's why the dark order in Walker County itself has been able to survive peacefully. However, although the local forces have been infiltrated by all sides, it is somewhat admirable. In fact, the six major local forces have basically maintained their autonomy. Even if they all have the shadow of some big forces behind them, according to the information we have obtained, most of the local forces and those big foreign forces are still in the form of cooperation, and their own control is not controlled by foreign forces. Mora whispered.
Xu Yue closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, then said, "Let our personnel go all out to find out the situation of each force, and once it is revealed, we can mobilize the 'guardians' to leave here." With the exception of a few people who occupied important positions, other people at the bottom who did not get much information began to withdraw from Walkershire in six consecutive years. There will be someone outside to answer you. This time I will give credit to everyone, after this time. All intelligence officers were to be decommissioned as slaves. If the credit is great, the chamber of commerce will have a high reward. ”
After listening to his words, Mora's face showed an expression of excitement and gratitude, because after more than two years of life and death in such a dangerous area, he finally paid the credit for the release of his slavery status of these people. You must know that this is a privilege that only the sixth-level powerhouses and the first two hundred or so members of the escort team have. Moreover, the rewards of the Chamber of Commerce have always been rich, if they don't want to work in the Chamber of Commerce after the removal of slavery status this time, they can live the life of ordinary people with the wealth that makes ordinary people envious.
And the reason why I say thank you is because Xu Yue has allowed these intelligence officers to mobilize guardians to cover their evacuation. The so-called guardian is a special team composed of a group of fifth-level powerhouses that Xu Yue specially mobilized at the beginning. He arranged for the members of this team to be embedded in Walker County.
However, unlike those intelligence officers, this group of hidden powerhouses does not need to inquire about intelligence. Just disguised as all sorts of lurking down. If some important intelligence personnel are in danger, or when they get more important information to be sent, the guardian will secretly protect the personnel and information. And every Guardian who shot out will not return to Walker County again in case their identity is exposed.
In the past two years, there have been only a handful of Guardian strikes. But basically every time the Guardian strikes, those intelligence and personnel can be safely escorted out. However, due to the limited number of Guardians, they cannot be reused. So it's almost impossible for an average intelligence officer to use a Guardian in a dangerous situation. Now Xu Yue allowed them to use the guardian escort when they finally obtained information, obviously not treating them as cannon fodder, you must know that not all the low-level intelligence personnel who have withdrawn can get important information.
After bowing to Xu Yue with a bit of respect and gratitude, Mora put on her hood again and walked out. The hotel itself is one of the strongholds of the Chamber of Commerce. There is a special underground passage for internal members to enter and exit, so there is no need to worry about being investigated and punished by someone who cares about outsiders who have been in contact with Xu Yue.
After sending Mora away. Xu Yue sat alone in the living room and thought about it. At the beginning of their plan, they did not consider that there would be a seventh-level powerhouse in Walker County, because according to the agreement between the Xia Kingdom and the Gruni Kingdom, the two sides could not send a seventh-level powerhouse into Walker County, otherwise with the strength of a seventh-level powerhouse, I am afraid that one person would be able to sweep away those large local forces. This is undoubtedly something that neither country wants. If one sends a strong man above level seven, another country will definitely send a strong man to obstruct it. In that way, as more and more powerful people are involved, it will eventually turn into a full-scale conflict between the two countries, which is not desirable for the Gruni Wan Kingdom, which continues to decline in national strength, and the Xiya Kingdom, which needs time to show its national strength.
'Is it someone who has violated the agreement between the two countries?, or has the powerhouse of the local forces broken through to the seventh level?' Xu Yue thought with squinted eyes.
After two years of exhibition, the power of the Chamber of Commerce's escort force has a flying exhibition. The gold coins sold from the large amount of magic materials looted from the trolls, except for a part left for exhibitors and equipment upgrades for Xu Yue, the rest of the funds were almost all smashed into the construction of the escort team.
Nearly 30 million gold coins were continuously invested. The strength of the convoy has reached a very high level. And Ai Wo has not been idle in the past two years, after officially operating the Chamber of Commerce, relying on the continuous supply of pure containers provided by Xu Yue, he has expanded his business to the limit of what can be expanded in a short period of time. Even the region of the merchant kingdom of Akara has dabbled in.
The massive amount of gold earned in the past two years has also been invested in the escort team. Because Xu Yue and Ai Wo knew that if their forces did not have enough self-protection ability, then they who held this huge benefit would become a lamb that had always been fat in the eyes of other forces, and they would be pounced on by those forces at any time and bite on their bodies.
Over the years, the amount of gold coins that had been put into the convoy was enough to supply the logistics of an ordinary army of 300,000 men, as well as the supply of weapons and armor. But because of the rules on the title. Coupled with the fact that they didn't have their own territory and couldn't accommodate too many people, the two finally decided to take the elite route. The logistical supply of the army of 300,000 was invested in 10,000, and while a large part of it was to buy professional-level efforts to fill the convoy, the remaining money was enough to arm each convoy to the teeth.
Not to mention anything else, the strength of the members of the escort team above the second order is not inferior even to the most elite troops in the main legions of the Seven Great Human Kingdoms. Moreover, they have invested a lot of resources in the personnel of the escort team in the past two years, and many second-order team members have broken through to the third order. Now the entire escort team can even pull out a team of more than two thousand third-order professionals. This is enough to make the large forces under the national level dare not think of anything that they should not have.
Originally, according to the information they had gathered before, with the strength of the escort team, only a part of them would be separated. There is definitely the strength to control the entire Walker County, but I didn't expect that seeing that the plan was about to be executed, the intelligence officers actually found out that the local forces in Walker County might have a seventh-level powerhouse.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for a profession below level 7 to overwhelm a profession above level 7 by relying on numbers. Although it can cost a seventh-level profession to death if it costs human lives, no seventh-level profession will be stupidly dragged down by this kind of consumption. Unless a besieged seventh-level profession is entangled by a profession of the same level or higher, if you want to break through, I'm afraid that no one will really be able to stop you.
I just don't know how many people there are in the seventh-level profession in Walker County, if it's just one or two. If there were more...... Xu Yue rubbed his eyebrows with a headache when he thought of this.
In the past two years, he and Ivo's Chamber of Commerce have not only expanded the number of low-level personnel when exhibiting the Chamber of Commerce's escort team, but also invested a lot of effort in high-level combat power, and the results achieved in the past two years are enough for them to use as a hole card. Although it is completely impossible to buy a level 7 slave in the slave market, this is not to say that there is no workaround.
However, although Xu Yue has his own hole cards in his hand. But it was still too reluctant to deal with a seventh-level professional who had dealt with three of them.
It seems that the plan has been put on hold a bit. He thought for a moment, then took out a crystal the size of a baby's fist and injected it with a wave of magic.
'Siren, tell the convoy not to appear on the outskirts of Walker County for a while, and find a place to hide and lurk first. Something went wrong here. Xu Yue said to the crystal.
This crystal is a magical device used for long-distance communication, and functions somewhat like a telephone. A projection of a man's head emerged above the crystal. At the same time, a voice came and said, 'Yes, President.' I'll keep the party in a jungle far away from Walkershire, and I won't be seen by anyone in Walker if I'm not here to investigate. You don't need me to send some people there. It's just that if you take Miss Ellie alone, I think it's still a little too thin in terms of strength. ‘
After listening to his words, Xu Yue thought for a while and said, "Let Ying come and help me." Just want to figure out the problem here and need his strength, but other people's words really can't solve it. ‘
'Okay, President, I'll let him go.' The sound from the crystal had stopped by this point.
In the next day, Xu Yue did not leave his room again, but carefully read the information and information sent by Mora. Although he only came to sit in the town this time to explore Walkershire, the specific commander was not him. But as one of the two presidents of the top leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. He still has to fully understand the current situation.
On this day, many members of the many underground forces in Walker County defected, and many new members in the past two years suddenly stole some secrets of their own forces and fled, and these forces sent personnel to hunt them down. But to their surprise, whenever their people find these betrayed members, there are always some mysterious people who rescue them. After careful probing. The identities of these mysterious men have also been revealed, and they have only come to Walker County from outside the last two years. These people are no different from those who move to Walker after coming to Walkershire, and they have never been in a special place, and no one expected that these people would be some extraordinary masters.
The frequent betrayals of the members and the appearance of the mysterious people clearly alarmed the local forces in Walkershire. They have intensified their investigation of the backgrounds of people in their own forces. However, even these forces themselves know that there are many forces outside of Walker County that have sent people to infiltrate them. It is almost impossible to find the force to act in this so much sand.
At a time when the intelligence officers of those chambers of commerce were constantly evacuating and stealing a lot of information from their forces, a relatively spacious space under a seemingly ordinary house in Walker County. There were six people sitting around a large round table.
Sitting in the front seat was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a thin face, and his slightly gloomy eyes gave people the feeling of looking at a black hole. The mage robes on his body indicate that he is a noble mage.
Next to his right hand was a strong man in leather armor, his unkempt and bushy head covering his eyes, and his beard making him look like a middle-aged, decadent uncle. But the criss-crossing scars on his body make people feel a sense of tragedy and oppression. Behind the leather armor on his body, a blood-red scorpion is vividly carved there, giving people a sense of danger.
To the left of the magician was a woman in a long red dress, turning the small dagger in her hand with some impatience. This dagger is only slightly longer than an adult's slap. The handle is only about two pieces wide, and it looks very strange. But the sharp blade made no one dare to underestimate the lethality of this dagger. At this moment, the dagger flew up and down in the woman's hand, but it did not hurt her fingers in the slightest.
And her face is also very strange, at first glance it looks like twenty ** years old, but if you look closely, it looks like seventeen or eighteen years old, and if you look at it for a long time, it seems to become a charming thirty years old. The upturned figure and the graceful curves make any man who sees her reverie. But the few men in the room didn't give her a second look.
One of the remaining three was an old nobleman who looked like he was in his sixties. One looks like a thief with a thin bamboo pole, and the last one is a fat man who looks like an ordinary wounder.
The atmosphere in the room was silent until the magician sitting up straight, knocked on the table, and said, 'Let's talk about it.' Don't pretend to be dumb and dumb. What do you think of the army of thousands of men lurking away from here, and the honorary marquis who wants to fight our idea? But people are coming to our house. (To be continued.)
