1265 Chapter 1266: Split
Under such circumstances, a lot of leaflets suddenly appeared. Even the nobles in charge of managing the rich district would not think of suspicion at the first time, but would think that other people in the rich district were hiding the leaflets. The Melox Empire made a fortune by smuggling, and it is inextricably linked with the Melox Empire. Under such circumstances, it is not too much of a surprise to join the Melox Empire.
"The ruling knights probably found thousands of leaflets from the small inner city... But in fact, the number of leaflets that actually flowed into the inner city was less than one-tenth of that number."
Seeing the astonished and admired expressions of his subordinates, German just flipped the dagger in his hand casually: "You rookies, you still have a lot to learn..."
Back then, German lived by cheating and abducting. If he hadn't possessed the strength of a seventh-order thief, he would have been defeated by the alien race in Changfeng Plain.
"It's almost time to send a message to the headquarters. No matter how slow the response of the people in the Lord's Mansion is, it's time to realize our existence at this moment. We must make preparations for the next move."
In fact, Germain knew from a long time ago that his main job was dirty work. If it wasn't for the trust of Chief Lancelot, he would have died long ago.
The Seventh Army Intelligence Bureau of the Anbu is a comprehensive intelligence department that operates to maintain local security. However, in many cases, local security needs to be maintained by the enemy's insecurity, but not all confrontations can be placed on the table. What is active under the table is the task of Anbu.
What is righteous to the Merox Empire must be evil to the enemy. Assassination, poisoning, destabilizing and splitting the enemy's interior, stealing and lurking are the norm.
Of course, intelligence work does not necessarily have to be so bloody, and much of the flow of information publicly available is also an important source of intelligence for the dark side, but when the confrontation enters a white-hot stage, the work methods will inevitably become bloody.
But German doesn't care much about these, all this is for the empire, he only knows that as long as the empire gets stronger and the people's lives get better and better, that's enough.
The main city of Andnus broke out under tension.
All kinds of rumors are constantly spreading in the city. Those civilians who have accumulated huge pressure from hunger and panic seem to have lost their minds, forgetting the power of professionals, and began to frequently move in various dark corners. .
Every night, after the professionals and soldiers patrolling the town leave, there will be chilling footsteps in the corners of the musty alleys in the outer city.
When the sun rises, bold slogans directly attacking the inner city will appear in some corners of the outer city.
The bold and provocative behavior in the outer city area successfully aroused Neumann's anger. He sent wave after wave of investigation teams. The original team acted to judge the knights, but now they started to act independently, but they had a large number of professionals around them.
It seems to be more powerful, but the actual efficiency and results are even worse.
They didn't check and search for evidence, they went directly to the door, interrogated or even directly interrogated anyone they suspected. People were suddenly taken away from their homes, and many of them were already dead bodies when they were sent back.
However, even if the ruling knights and professionals are exhausted, patrolling and arresting the streets and alleys day and night, the limited manpower can't even cover one-third of the outer city, let alone complete the patrol.
What these tired teams of professionals didn't realize was that in some of the blocks they passed, there were hundreds or even thousands of militiamen staring at them with rifles, and they just endured without an order from their superiors to shoot.
In the inner city, the situation is also deteriorating. The division among the great nobles has almost become an open fact. More and more great nobles are beginning to refuse to carry out orders from the Lord's Mansion.
A group of great nobles even openly questioned the authority of Neumann, the lord, and the elderly master-level powerhouse did not come from the Neumann family, which put Neumann in a very embarrassing situation.
As the saying goes, to become a great teacher, to lose is also a great teacher.
Because there is a master-level powerhouse in charge, it is difficult for the inner city to become chaotic, but it is precisely because of the transcendent existence of the master-level powerhouse that Neumann cannot stand up with absolute force and guarantee the authority of the lord.
In this case, the only thing Neumann can do is to maintain balance.
However, in such a situation where tension and high pressure coexist, more and more leaflets continue to appear in the city, even in the inner city.
"The enemy has already sneaked in! Everything that happened in the inner city is deliberately provoked by them, and many news are also fabricated by them. The purpose is to make us suspicious and split up!"
In an urgent meeting, Neumann waved his arms and shouted with red eyes. This old noble gentleman, known for his stability and majesty, lost his usual calm at this moment. He was full of anger for his excessive moves.
The only thing that puzzled him was that there were so many people lurking into Anderus, why the church didn't respond at all.
"We have sent all the ruling knights and professionals to the outer city, and we are collecting a large number of leaflets every day."
A count stood up and said: "We still..."
"It's useless!" Neumann interrupted the count unceremoniously.
"Those leaflets appeared faster than we could burn them, and now they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many people have read them. There is no point in continuing to confiscate them!"
"The enemy's spies are lurking in the city, we must find a way to catch them."
A Judgment Knight with a white cloak embroidered with a cross pattern stood up. He was Kawen, the leader of all Judgment Knights.
"They are very good at hiding, blending in the crowd, and all strange faces are suspicious..."
"The strange faces also include the heirs and noble heirs of those who have taken refuge in the profession, as well as their vassal followers."
Another earl stood up and interrupted Kawin.
"They are distributed in the areas that the current knight patrols are focusing on patrolling. Do these people also need to be checked?"
The voice of the ruling knight was as cold as winter: "It's all doubtful, maybe the enemy sneaked into the city because of them."
This is the reason why the Judgment Knights have always been disliked by nobles, they are too 'practical'.
Neumann knocked on the table: "We have fallen into the enemy's conspiracy in this way, and what they want is our division."
A group of noble representatives fell into commotion, and a gloomy and tense atmosphere filled the hall.
In an unbearably suffocating atmosphere, Neumann finally spoke again.
