"My lord, Salander's spies have already returned. If there is no accident, they will report news that is beneficial to us."

Borza bowed, and then humbly walked out with a few heavy 10-denar silver coins under Byron's promise. During this period, this was the third time he had received such a generous reward. Together with those who worked for intelligence, he received a generous reward from the Earl of Byron, which made them very satisfied.

"Will Sultan Hakim believe it?" Fatis sat aside and asked Byron.

"Not necessarily, but the possibility that he believes it is relatively high." Byron picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but he didn't dare to drink too much to avoid getting drunk at this critical moment. "After all, he doesn't know that his spies and spies are under our surveillance, not to mention that the play we performed is more authentic than Alma Jose's troupe." Byron smiled and answered his right assistant.

In fact, this intelligence confrontation started long before Byron went to Salander. At that time, they had already begun to secretly investigate the agents of Salander in the territory, and looked for those who might be bought, and tried their best to Surveillance without attracting the other party's attention. This is not an easy thing to do, if you are not careful, you will fail, but success is very difficult. But Byron has Assassin's help, and they are also Salanders. They know the details to distinguish which Salander spies, and they also know how they act, and they can find surveillance locations that are not noticed by the other party.

A very classic example is a spy of Salander. He is not only very proficient in language and dialect, but also very familiar with the culture of Rhodok and Swadia, and has been active in the Rhodok area for a long time. His friends They all believed his rhetoric and believed that he was a Salander hybrid born in another Rhodok area. They treated this man with Salander characteristics as a local and a good friend, and were willing to vouch for him. . He also arranged a suitable job for himself, and often went to the military camp to recycle waste and deliver supplies, so that the sentries in the military camp would not suspect him. But even so, Assassin's assassins still focused on him, because the things he paid attention to and the topics he inquired about during chats were really not what an ordinary person cared about. They watched the man from across the street from where he lived, and eventually found that he was at home or in some missing place at certain times of the day, and that was when the followers of Salander prayed. The rest was very simple, his identity as a spy was confirmed and he was put under surveillance.

Before Byron set off, the deliberate assassins of Kress and Assassin had basically mastered the situation of all the spies, spies, scouts and bribed ghosts in Salander in the territory. Of course, this is also due to the soaring influence of Byron in the local area after the earthquake. People support him and are willing to report those strange people.

Kress originally planned to kill all these people, teach the Salanders a lesson, and make them blind. This is also very much agreed by Lesarit and Rolf, because in this way the enemy will not be able to get With their detailed intelligence, they will have the upper hand militarily.

But...Byron doesn't think so.

Gu Byron has his own way of thinking. In his opinion, after the slave uprising and the previous raids, the main force of Salander still remains. Facing an army of nearly 20,000 people, they are on the absolutely weak side. The main roads and terrain in the east of Rhodok have also been figured out by the Sarande people in the long-term business exchanges. Even if they wiped out all of Salander's spies, they couldn't reverse the current disadvantage. After all, the distance between the two sides was too close, and there were three main roads to defend from Salem to Gamic. The defensive facilities outside Mira are still a row of wooden fences built on the ruins, and Sultan Hakim will not waste a possible opportunity to stop this attack. So Byron changed his mind and began to make a fuss about intelligence work. Thanks to their control over the location of these spies, a large number of soldiers and Assassin assassins began to accompany each other to play.

Salander's spies went deep into the territory of Rhodok and reached around Fort Amira. The interrogation they encountered along the way and the large number of patrols convinced them that they really relied on their own ability and luck to enter here. , instead of Byron deliberately releasing water.

After that, Byron started a large-scale and expensive camouflage. In order to let these spies pass on wrong information, Byron used a lot of manpower to build defense projects. The shifts were changed from time to time, and the supplies delivered were several times normal, and many locals were also sent to other areas to assist in the construction, which made the construction of the city defense project look like most of Amira's manpower was used to force them to construct. And a city wall that was not inferior to the previous one was quickly built, making the Salander spies think that they were making a lot of preparations to resist the invasion. But in fact, those city walls are genuine tofu projects. Yatiman made brackets in the middle of the walls in advance at night, and put mud on them, and put stones on them the next day. It looks like that, but in reality There is no defense at all~lightnovelpub.net~Of course, not all of them are. The city wall construction sites that the spies successfully "infiltrated" built some real city walls that were rushed to fool them. For this reason, Byron paid a lot of money to let the craftsmen step up their work to complete the semi-finished product.

Afterwards, Byron also increased the density and number of patrols, and put all the weapons and equipment they could find in the armory of the castle, and ensured that the most peripheral weapons and armor were of high quality, creating a well-equipped army. illusion. As for grain and grass, in addition to letting the other party do things to prevent fires, Byron can indeed display a large amount of their grain reserves. After all, Amira has accumulated sufficient accumulation during this period of time by relying on harvesting and trading.

Afterwards, Byron began to spread the news that Earl Dilinnard would send troops to support him. Of course, those Salanders would definitely go to investigate, but they would soon find that Earl Dillinard's troops were indeed in the south. Positions appeared on a large scale, and they were obviously busy recruiting food and soldiers. Of course, these are actually mercenaries of the Peony Regiment. They carried the flag of Earl Dilinard and wore the same burqas, running back and forth across the border of the territory. They ran out during the day and returned at night to change their equipment and clothes. One or two hundred people made the feeling of thousands of people. Moreover, the Earl himself indeed sent a small army to cooperate. He was willing to support Byron in order to prevent his territory from being threatened, as long as he didn't need to send a large army.

So, amidst this constant drama and appropriate leaks, Salander's spies became more and more convinced that they were facing a strong fortress with a strong army and support, and passed the news back to Salander .

However, there are exceptions to this. If anyone really went to a place that Byron didn't want them to see, the assassins would kill him immediately, just like what happened to Seabuckthorn...
