"Those who sue you, at any cost, must find out the reason why the Falcon Army suddenly stopped attacking!" In a not spacious office of the Gallic Kyoto Military Affairs Department, Marquis Harun, the Minister of Intelligence of the Gallic Military Affairs Department, was standing up from his desk with a look of annoyance, and a loud voice echoed in the room, "I have given such an order, and I believe that the results will be soon!"

The answer to him was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a gloomy eye, slightly spotted white temples, extremely well-groomed chestnut hair, a straight blue Gallic general's uniform, two golden generals on his cuffs, and in the roar of the Marquis of Harlan, the Minister of Intelligence, his calm face did not even fluctuate a little,

His name is Philip, the special intelligence officer of the Ministry of War, he is about forty years old, but he has this weathered face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth always gives people an eerie feeling: "How long will it be soon? As an intelligence officer, you should know that every second of delay is being sacrificed!"

Marquis Harron looked slightly dissatisfied, such a big movement, the intelligence department under his command did not even notice it in the slightest, but the newly established department, which had just been established for less than two months, knew the content in advance, which made him feel a little embarrassed,

Of course, this can't be expressed, especially in front of the entire intelligence officer named Philip, because the high-level side values this intelligence officer who has just returned to China for less than half a year, at least more than himself, who knows if he will become his boss in the blink of an eye, or kick himself down from this position that he has only climbed to in forty-one years "If nothing else, it should be in the past few days" Philip straightened his body and replied in the affirmative tone. According to the latest information, my people have already figured out some of the situation, but they can't be sure yet, so they didn't immediately write a report!" "That's fine, you go down first!" Marquis Harlan nodded coldly and waved his hand at him. Looking at the back of Philep disappearing at the door, Yan Sù's face relaxed,

Taking a deep breath, Marquis Harlan picked up the pen on the table in his hand, and his fat nose let out an uneven Nan Nan sound, "I really don't know why I value this loser so much! Even if he once had brilliant achievements, he was also the culprit of the defeat of the Imperial Army! And his original subordinates are all dead! What kind of storm can be set off now, and the expenditure of millions of gold coins for two consecutive months, if I were given all of them, I would do the same!"

"Whoa"

The sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the Intelligence Department. into the ears of all,

In the gloomy corridor of the Ministry of Intelligence, the intelligence adjutants with hurried expressions came and went, most of them with excited expressions on their faces,

In June, some good news finally came for the Gallic Empire, which was surrounded by a lot of bad news, that General Yald had defeated the Slavic army of 100,000 in the south by Allrak in the north, finally giving the empire breathless and oppressed by the defeat on all sides. There was a glimmer of relief, and in the following month, the battered Slavs hastily abandoned a number of regions,

General Yarde's troops were replenished from Kyoto and from the local side. Carrying the high Gallic banner to the fallen provinces, the tide of war turned in a striking turn, and young men enthusiastically joined General Jarde's royal army.

In just half a month, the number of young Gallic people who joined General Yard reached 170,000 in this month. A young general named Figueros rose like a comet, and after the battle of Anrak, Figueros, as the vanguard of the army, led 10,000 elite troops to defeat the local troops of the Slavs in Rico, Rasada, and Kobinur, and marched at an extraordinary speed, almost one city a day, or even several cities a day.

Lost areas have been largely recovered,

For the first time, the Slavs' troops panicked, urgently closed the battle line, and gathered 35,000 troops in the Nuka Valley, trying to block this rapidly advancing force, but it was easily broken by Figueros, and the Slavs, who had lost more than 20,000 people in this battle, were completely driven away from the Turberg region that they had previously entered, and the northern shape was contained, and the Gauls were greatly shaken, and the king's army had not yet arrived, but only sent a standard-bearer, and the city in front was completely opened,

The volunteers who rebelled against the Slavs from all over the country came out like bamboo shoots after the rain, wantonly attacking the Slavs' convoys, logistics, manors, and castles in the mountains, valleys, and forests, making the Slavic nobles anxious Only after experiencing the feeling of tragedy and national ruin, they will know the meaning of the so-called national existence, and the northern region of Gaul, which has not experienced the fluctuations of war for hundreds of years, ignited boiling blood for the first time!

"Hear that, this Figueros has won again!" several lieutenants in the hallway whispered to each other

"Yes, as rumored, is our undefeated god of war in Gaul!" said an adjutant with a ruddy face and an excited expression, "At this rate, in two months at most, we can drive the Slavs out of the north, and in another half a year, we can recover all the regions!" "The god of war in Gaul, isn't it Lord Hasenlimbo of the Tiger of the Empire, why do you ......" The other adjutant looked a little surprised, he had only been in the Ministry of Intelligence for less than a week, and immediately received a roll of the eyes from his colleagues"What nonsense, how can that timid creeper be my Gallic god of war, it's really laughing to death when you say it! Forget if others don't know, don't you know that as an intelligence officer, you don't even dare to move this timid creeper in Philip's nest!" "Yes, this kind of person is really a shame for my empire!

Suddenly, they saw an emaciated and cold figure walking towards them, as if they felt the faint and uncomfortable cold aura on this person's body, several adjutants stopped talking, and all subconsciously lowered their heads, choosing to bypass to both sides, until the dark figure walked away, and then regrouped together "Who was that just now?" Or the intelligence officer who had just been transferred, he asked curiously, he was from the front-line combat unit, and obviously couldn't adapt to this cold atmosphere belonging to the intelligence department, "Be quiet, that's Philep's special intelligence officer!" An intelligence officer gave him a blank look, pretending to take a deep breath mysteriously, and spit out the name, and the air around him seemed to be a few degrees lower, "It turned out to be him!" The new intelligence officer's face turned pale, and he shrank his head in fright, his gaze only dared to pause on the back of the dark figure walking by, and then quickly drifted away as if he had been stabbed.

It was cold, like raindrops all over the roof

In the eyes of everyone, this Philep special intelligence officer is full of mystery and darkness, the position of special intelligence officer, it is said that the emperor's most trusted royal affairs officer Algernon Julia, four months ago in the imperial council, as the emperor's special intelligence officer who understands the real situation, so he only needs to be responsible to the emperor's majesty, that is, some high-level intelligence. Even the Minister of Intelligence is not very clear about the details,

This is also the reason why Philip dared to directly face the Marquis of Harlan just now, and frankly said that he would not report it if he was not sure, but every piece of information in the hands of this person would inevitably be placed on the desk of His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.

That's the scariest thing. Because even the report of the Minister of Intelligence needs to go through the Ministry of Military Affairs before it is submitted to the Emperor, while the Special Intelligence Officer submits it directly. This special power is enough to make anyone who is dissatisfied with it shudder,

Except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one would know the contents of the special intelligence officer's report. In other words, it is likely that because of a few words from this person, he can make the imperial capital bleed like a river and make the whole family of a wealthy and powerful family die. Let the highly decorated general be reduced to a prisoner

The intelligence services once vigorously opposed the creation of this position, but was angrily denounced by the emperor as "incompetent, and should the entire empire appear incompetent?" If the Empire's intelligence department could have half the enemy's capabilities, how could the Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops lose so badly! Hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers, have you intelligence officers ever had a little self-reproach! If the intelligence department is unreliable, then I will organize my own intelligence department!"

Under the emperor's bloodshot and tired eyes, the Minister of Intelligence, Marquis Harun, was already in a cold sweat, lying on the ground and not even daring to say a word, this is the special intelligence officer, the intelligence officer directly under the emperor, in the face of this intelligence department, the intelligence department is not even more likely except to feel a little angry!

Because in terms of intelligence, this Philip is also famous,

In the Gallic military circles, Philip's code name is "Shadow", and he used to be the first chief of intelligence in the Eastern Battlefield, and many imperial generals will be in awe when they hear this name.

Because of this person, he almost killed the more than 100,000 troops of the Central Beak Empire, and almost broke the stalemate in the eastern war for decades, in another country, the other party's intelligence department used the hated "Nine Lives Cat" to describe him, and once opened a dark flower of 100,000 gold coins to buy his head, and sent a master to hunt for six days and six nights, this guy was stabbed seven times, and still ran back to Gaul alive, so that the other party's intelligence department also secretly sighed that this guy's vitality is strong

He once entered the Central Biya Empire sixteen times as a businessman, lived in the Central Biya Empire for 11 years, and bribed local officials of the Central Biya Empire to establish a fairly effective intelligence network.

He was even invited by the high-level leaders of the Central Biya Empire to enter the Kyoto Hundred Mile Long Court of the Central Bibian Empire to watch the grand celebration of the Central Bia Empire every ten years.

Even in the Central Biya Empire, there are less than 50 referrals who can receive this invitation,

In order to qualify for this invitation, Philip sent a full 30,000 gold coins to the local shepherd, and the precious information he brought back contributed to the decision of the Gallic Empire to launch a large-scale raid on Seattle, the core of the eastern battlefield, a year later.

After a whole year of preparation, in that big battle, with the deployment map of the Central Belgian army brought back by Philep, the Gallic army, which had received information, was extremely fast, and launched a full-scale surprise attack with 200,000 troops against the weakness of the Central Belgian army.

The Central Belgian side rushed to the battle, and before it was fully launched, it was dizzy by the surprise attack of the Gauls, and the head of the border guards of the Central Belgian Empire, the combat headquarters of General Longyang, was almost "beheaded" by the Murphy dragon cavalry of the Gallic army in one fell swoop in the battle

More than 100,000 Chinese and Belgian border troops were cut off by the Gallic army in the chaos and fell into a battle to the death, although the famous Chinese and Belgian general Long Yang seized on the shortcomings of the Gallic army's lack of support and weakened attack power, and mobilized the Sino-Belgian army to counterattack, only in a battle of heavy casualties on both sides, the final crushing victory! In that battle, the Gallic army was killed and wounded more than 80,000 people. The losses of the Central Belgian side were as high as 110,000, and the results of the death of several famous Central Belgian generals were also glorious for the Gauls.

After the war, the Emperor of Central Belgium was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and the most terrible intelligence organization of the Central Belgian Empire, "Dragon's Tooth", made every effort to investigate, and finally started from the local pastoral side responsible for the logistics of the army, and finally gradually cleaned up the intelligence network that Philip had painstakingly operated for many years.

Under the full force of hunting, the local shepherd did not have time to erect the rebel flag, was exterminated, more than 70 of Philip's subordinates were almost all wiped out, only Philip alone in the subordinates desperately resisted and fell seriously injured on the border, fortunately was discovered in time by a passing patrol, only to pick up a life in the mud.

Although he has been recuperating from his injury for three years, the rainy day is still very bad weather for Philip. He was enduring it just now, his face was pale and bloodless, like white paper, and his footsteps in the corridor seemed a little floating. So it looks very unreal.

Normally, he wouldn't come out, he would be in his lake villa. Suffering in silence, like a beast licking its wounds, it stays in its lair all day without showing its head.

Because a rainy day is like a kind of torture for him,

The old scars on the body are faintly painful, and I will think of many people and things that should have been forgotten in my mind.

Three months ago, Algernon Julia felt the Empire's extreme disadvantage in intelligence and invited him to come out of the mountains.

Both of them had been in the Central Bia Empire, and had dealt with each other, the serious injury at the beginning, it was the family relationship that Algernon Giulia mobilized to save him from the line of death, he owed Algernon Giulia a favor, although he had vowed to stay away from the road of intelligence officer, he finally returned to the original point, most people knew that he was slashed 7 times by the killers of the other party's intelligence department and did not die, but they did not know that from the age of sixteen into the intelligence industry, he had a total of 21 scars all over his body,

Almost all over his body, on a rainy day, it was like experiencing a thousand cuts from a dull pain to a severe pain, just like he is now, the hand holding the office key is shaking, and the blue tendons are emerging on his forehead, and he is struggling to open the door of his office,

He leaned against the wall by the window, put his hand on his chest, the longest scar, from the chest to the waist, the hot pain scorched his soul, this is the longest, but also the most painful scar! This is the most terrible shot given by the other party's intelligence department, a woman helped him block the sword, the blade passed through the woman's body, and made such a terrible cut on his body, he did not die, but the person who helped him block the sword was disemboweled, and blood was all over the ground,

In the white rain curtain, his almost vague consciousness seemed to see the beautiful satin long black hair across his fingers, so soft, so charming, red blood dripped down the black hair to the ground, the fingers that once affectionately caressed the long black hair, now there are only three left, the other two are gone,

Outside the window is the light crisp sound of the drizzle hitting the glass,

In June, Gallic Kyoto was shrouded in the rainy season, and the white raindrops hit the red-roofed and white-walled houses along the street, like countless tiny white flowers blooming, with a hint of beautiful beauty.

On the plane of the earthen wall of the windowsill, there is a creeper that climbs up from the crack in the wall, and the rain hits the green leaves of the creeper, turning into crystal clear water droplets.

Philep's blood-colored eyes focused on the inconspicuous creeper, he put his hand out of the window, trying to break the creeper, a drop of water hit his finger, so cool, like someone's hand brushing, Philep's outstretched hand stopped there, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew his hand.

"Bang bang!" there was a knock at the door

"Come in! the door is not locked" After a short rest, Philip's face finally improved, and he staggered to his desk and sat down, his face still very pale

A middle-aged intelligence officer in a black uniform walked in with a document jiàn, a place that the entire intelligence ministry paid little attention to, the utility room on the first floor, now converted into a temporary office for the special intelligence officer, because there was no survivor of the subordinates in Zhongbia, he declared to Algernon Giulia a special fund of 1 million gold coins a month, and was agreed, using this batch of funds, he carefully arranged a huge intelligence network, three months of painstaking operation, and an emergency investment of 3 million gold coins, his intelligence network finally brought what he needed

"My lord, this is the latest troop adjustment deployment map of the Slavs"

The middle-aged intelligence officer in black uniform, with a somewhat nervous expression, put the Wen Jiàn in his hand in front of this cold-faced boss, his gaze swept over Philip's miserable white face, and he couldn't help but feel a little tingling in his heart, no one knew that the pillar in the turmoil of the empire turned out to be this disgusting-looking person,

Many people think that the change in the situation in the north is because of General Jarde's hard work, because of the new generation of famous generals Figueros,

But a few people knew that this Jedi counterattack against the Slavs had actually been deployed four months ago, and Lord Philip had invested a lot of money to set up an intelligence network in the occupied areas of Gaul to induce the Slavs to make wrong judgments

The Slavs' 100,000-strong army went south to Allak, and they got the news that there were only 15,000 remnants of the Gallic army on the opposite side, instead of the 30,000 who participated in the decisive battle at the end.

The reason why Yald's army was able to march in great force after the battle of Allrak and sweep through thousands of armies was because a detailed map of the deployment of Slavs in several provinces was placed on his command table.

Figueros, the cutting-edge general who rose like a meteor, was able to easily defeat the resistance of tens of thousands of Slavic troops because the commander of the Slavic side who commanded the war was accidentally poisoned the day before the war, so that the army's mind was confused, and the armies were dissatisfied with each other, and finally they were defeated by a blow!

"Is there any progress in the Falcon Empire's investigation?" Philip opened the text in front of him and scribbled it with a pen, remarking what needed to be verified

"There are some rumors, but I can't be sure!" The middle-aged intelligence officer in black uniform frowned slightly, "Our people followed the retreating troops of the Falcon Army all the way into the Southwest Territory, and the reason for the withdrawal of troops was that the emperor of the Falcon Empire was going to return to China in July to marry the princess of a certain country!"

"Ridiculous, even if the emperor is married, there is no need to withdraw the army! their conclusion is this?a bunch of rice buckets!" Philip dissatisfiedly threw his pen on the table

"There's another one, but ......" The middle-aged intelligence officer hesitated, and seemed a little afraid to say it

"What needs to be said is to be said!" Philip's face flashed with a hint of coldness, and the frightened middle-aged intelligence officer's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "There is another rumor, it seems that this withdrawal is related to Lord Hasenrambo, it seems that the emperor of the Falcon Empire has reached some kind of agreement with Lord Hasenlimbo, so ......" (to be continued......
