v6 Chapter 84: The meaning of the night watchman

This is a very special organization.

It is everywhere, but there are very few people who really know it-even people who know it, they have only heard of the name, and can't imagine its potential and energy.

Assassins, assassins, spies, underground intelligence networks, executioners ... compatible and inclusive, to complete all the dirty work that needs to be done for His Majesty the Emperor and their leader.

In the eyes of some people who "know a little" about this organization, those members who are known as "night watchers" who possess strange magic and advanced skills are the backbone of this organization.

They are wrong.

Indeed, being able to become a high-level member of this organization is not a top-level assassin, but assassination is probably the most "irrelevant" function of this organization. Only when it is extremely necessary will the use of force be considered.

Intelligence gathering is their real terrible thing-the night watchmen who are all over the corner of the empire are dedicated to handing over all the intelligence collected to the "single line" that connects with themselves; even if it is just a trivial matter, even It was just an accident discovered by accident.

"But ... it's these little things and accidents, the trivial information pieced together the most 'detailed' state of the empire, putting the lives and deaths of thousands of creatures in one's palm." Raising his eyebrows, Loren meaningfully and Bran Deng looked at each other:

"For example, I knew that when I was killed and killed by the Centaur, there were more than a dozen night watchmen who sent information to the Sky Dome day and night ... Up to a week, I could see my latest report."

Um ... actually four days.

Brandon, sitting on the chair with his legs wide, opened his eyes and smiled awkwardly.

"And His Majesty the Emperor in the Sky Dome relies on the night watchman's intelligence network to control the entire empire." The black-haired wizard's pupils shrank suddenly: "This ... is what you want to fight for!"

"Rute Infinite may be dead, the night watchman of the imperial capital may have been completely destroyed, but the night watchmen in all areas of the empire are still waiting for orders and summons-now is their most vulnerable time, because they do not yet know The high-level has disappeared! "

"While everyone hasn't responded at this moment, it is the most important thing for us to cultivate a celebrity who is step by step to control the night watch organization and intelligence network across the empire."

"Before you became an emperor, you had the wrist that the emperor only had ... is that?" With his head tilted, Brandon's eyes narrowed like a cat:

"Controlling the Imperial Night Watch's intelligence network, and having first-hand information, we can have absolute initiative, and even control the actions of the elder brothers, threatening the Sky Dome Cabinet and Parliament for our use?"

"This is not the fundamental purpose, but it is indeed one of the 'welfare'." The black-haired wizard shrugged: "What's more important is that such powerful weapons and tools are not in our hands, but Connold is holding it ... that Is dangerous. "

"Even if it is just for self-protection, it is extremely necessary to control them in our hands as soon as possible." Loren nodded. "Of course, if we do, Connord should also think of doing so ... so it must be as soon as possible."

"Therefore, it is said that this is a matter of urgency-time, geographical conditions, people and ... people and harmony are the most important things to reverse the situation and even defeat the victory!"

The air was quiet for a minute.

A minute later, Brandon biting his thumbnail slowly raised his head, staring intently at the dark-haired wizard in front of him, without blinking.

"what are you doing?"

Loren felt a little hairy when he looked at it, and subconsciously leaned back against the chair.

"It's nothing, just a little emotion ... Although it used to be that way, but it's especially strong now." With a sincere smile, Brandon seemed to wipe his dry lips with his subconscious tongue:

"By the way, it ’s too early to talk about it, but when I am crowned Emperor of the Empire-whether it is the thirteenth generation or the fourteenth generation-I still need a trustworthy person who can help me suppress The Minister of the Seal, who lives in the entire cabinet. "

"Obviously, I will not use Metternich Leopold anymore, and I will not use the gang of imperial aristocrats who hate me at the bottom of my heart. As for the new aristocrats, wizards, and wealthy merchants with titles ... It ’s not impossible, but I am afraid Difficult to convince the public. "The more His Royal Highness said, the stronger the smile in the corner of his mouth:

"So I thought ... Of course, this is not a promotion or a promise. We are friends. Friends don't talk about this ... Loren Turin, my dear friend, do you have any interest in this?"

"With me ... ruling the empire?"

After talking, Brandon's "smiling" expression was fixed, and something motionless called "expect" flashed in his motionless eyes.

Ok?

Why ... got here?

But if you really have the opportunity, it ’s not bad. Indeed, if you can master and integrate the resources of the entire empire, and then face the "Black Cross" Serior, you will have more control ...

No, wait a minute.

The dark-haired wizard's heart string trembled, and suddenly he remembered something faintly.

"If you say why ... a guy who has the consciousness of a natural ruler and has long been unable to distinguish between responsibility and power, how can he assist others?"

"... If I were the emperor of the empire, and Charlotte Turin was the master of Byrne and the minister of the seal of the seal ... I will do my best to eradicate her completely and uproot it ..."

"Either 'Regent' or 'Prince Minister' ..."

Loren twitched his throat hard.

The opposite Brandon blinked and handed a "what's wrong" look.

"No, nothing! Let's not talk about this!" The dark-haired wizard immediately digressed: "The most important thing now is to find a suitable person as soon as we can trust, and let him integrate the entire night watch organization ... Before the news leaks! "

"That's right, I guess the elder brother's side will do the same thing sooner or later, so we have to take advantage of them and do what we should do." Brandon thought deeply: "Dear Aunt Fitrone, also has the night watchman permission! "

"Since it's" people and ", then who is" ... "is the key." Loren sighed and suddenly laughed: "It happened that I have a particularly suitable candidate."

"You say that ... Actually, I also have a particularly suitable one, and this guy can definitely believe it."

Lazy letting go of his legs, Brandon spreading his chair gave a meaningful smile: "And ... I think we think of it, it may be the same person ..."

……………………………………

"sneeze--!"

In the cold wind, Edward standing on the gate of Thousand Accounts City sneezes hard.

Rubbing his nose, the night watchman looked back helplessly, sighing at the ruined Qiancheng City.

Why do I always have to do so much extra work, and always doom?

Obviously it was just a job of running errands, but it was forcibly detained by His Highness Brandon for more than a month; finally he could leave and hit the Azores assassin;

I thought that it was only the last bait job that was safe and risk-free, but in the end the authentic door was still blocked, and I was almost turned into a barbecue by the dragon Milassis in the castle with the assassins;

After surviving nine lives, he will continue to be "reused" by His Highness Brandon, and he will hide it for him during the time he secretly left (where he went, of course, it is self-evident), while shouldering part of the daily government and intelligence collection work;

It's inexplicable ... His Highness Brandon, didn't he know that he was sent to monitor him, or was he so broad-minded that he believed that the "monitor" would never harm him?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with his thinking. This was originally the idea of ​​Lord Rut Infiniti; he tried his best to cooperate with His Highness Brandon, just like Princess Fitronai cooperated with His Royal Highness Connold.

But no matter how cooperating, the monitor is still the monitor; the first loyalty to him is still Lute Infinite and His Majesty the Emperor, followed by His Royal Highness Brandon.

In addition, although I knew that I thought too much about it, Edward always felt that he was regarded by his Highness as a kind of cheap labor that was particularly useful ...

Well, it must be too much; well, it must be.

Edward the Night Watchman sighed again.

"Sir Edward!"

A figure appeared behind the night watchman. Bi Gong bowed his head respectfully and knelt down on one knee: "As for what you need, the intelligence of the three legions in Qiancheng City has been sent."

Is it so fast?

"Very good." He concealed his consternation and looked at the young man behind him with a stiff expression.

Adult ... He is still very uncomfortable with this title, and the awe and respect when others look at him.

"Read."

"Follow the order!" The young entourage did not notice any abnormalities and stood up with his hands behind his back: "We investigated all the middle and lower rank officers of the three legions, and generally did not have any dissatisfaction; because His Royal Highness was always good to them, salaries and supplies. Never defaulted. "

"As for the upper generals, especially the commander of the flag and the commander of the flag, the commander of the cavalry and infantry ... it seems to have been accustomed to the style of action of His Highness, and there are no abnormalities or movements."

Looking at the young attendant who bowed his head after speaking, Edward finally couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The three legions counted nearly 30,000 auxiliary soldiers. Thousands of soldiers were thrown at the bottom ... From the time they gave their orders to the night before, they have all collected them.

This kind of work that used to be busy throughout the night, now only requires the next command and speaks.

What a ... unprecedented experience.

It was almost half a minute before Edward slowly spoke: "Next time, I don't want to hear rough, seeming words."

"Yes! Your subordinates will do their best!"

The sincere and fearful young entourage shook his shoulders.

"How's the communication with the Imperial Capital Headquarters?" Edward turned his head away, and he was still very uncomfortable: "Any order or information, have you sent it recently?"

"No ... Not only did there not be orders and information, even the regular contacts in the past were cut off." The young entourage shook his head: "Even if the person in charge of the joint was killed, at least there will be emergency information sent ... Nothing this time. . "

That is to say ... The Assassins of the Yazul elves also launched a raid on the Imperial Vault of Heaven.

Edward frowned, thinking about the seriousness of the matter.

The headquarters of the Imperial Night Watchman is the center of the entire organization, and it is the most important intelligence network, gathering information from all over the world ... Losing the center, the entire night watchman will be divided into semi-independent organizations divided by regions and principalities. .

Whatever he thought, he didn't think Rut Infinite and His Majesty would sit and watch this happen.

Moreover, the intelligence network of the Imperial City is in chaos, filled with a large amount of gray information that is difficult to distinguish; the sophisticated smoke bombs look like the standard style of the night watchman-otherwise who else can have such capabilities ?

"Continue to find a way to do everything possible to contact the headquarters of the Imperial City and find the joint person as quickly as possible." Edward calmly said: "Also, a message about the Imperial City, an unmissable message is sent ... regardless of authenticity."

"Follow the orders, my subordinates will do it!" The young entourage nodded very positively, and immediately said as if he couldn't wait: "In addition, the side of Byrne ... His Royal Highness Brandon sent a message, marking It's top secret. "

Top secret?

Surprisingly, taking the letterhead from the respectful followers, Edward quickly glanced at him.

The next second, his expression instantly froze and his pupils shrank.

This this……

This must have been proposed by the fellow of Loren Turin? !

That lunatic! Madman! Mean and shameless villain! Actually, I really want to do things to such an extent ...

"I said ..." Edward suddenly raised his eyebrows, his cold eyes staring at the attendant in front of him:

"You, read this letter, don't you?"

"Boom!"

Without any hesitation, the young entourage immediately fell to his knees and lowered his head deeply: "I'm very sorry, but the subordinates were very surprised when the letterhead was sent, so I couldn't help it ..."

"Can't help ... opening and glancing at it, still don't think it will be noticed?"

"Don't dare to belong to your subordinates! Don't dare!"

It turned out that it was because of this ... he would be so respectful of himself, no matter how difficult the task can be completed so efficiently ...

The night watchman organization that used to explore secrets ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ as its duty to protect secrets has also begun to corrupt little by little. Have these "secrets" been regarded as wealth in its own hands?

Edward sighed, put away the letterhead, and turned away in silence.

The young follower who bowed his head was cold and sweaty, but his mouth slightly smiled.

Win, bet it yourself!

Sure enough, there is no wrong guess. Compared with the old rigid tradition of the night watchman, what the upper class really like is the efficiency of command execution; as long as they can complete the task with the fastest speed, no one will hate a useful one. tool……

"puff--!"

The last word in my mind was "blocked" by the bayonet protruding from his mouth.

"We are the night watchman in the shadow of the empire ..." Edward's voice rang from the young spurting blood in his mouth:

"We ... are not ambitious!"
