Chapter 873 Double Agent
"Could it be the troops of the temple?"
"My lord, it doesn't matter if it's the temple troops or not! The enemy has already destroyed the camps outside the city, and all the noble soldiers have scattered! We only have a hundred or so people who can fight in the inner city... There is still time to break through!"
Just as he was talking, a round of dense explosions sounded, followed by screams and exclamations of fear...
"They're rushing in! They're rushing in!"
Someone yelled loudly, and as a result, all the subordinates who were still holding weapons dispersed in a hurry, because the Efta infantry who filed in had rushed up from the corridors on both sides of the inner city with roars...
The soldiers outside the Earl's Mansion had no resistance at all, and they all knelt down and surrendered. Only the more than 40 elite soldiers led by Kewell were already armed. Earl Harrison in pajamas was dragged and pushed onto his horse. As soon as the whole team rushed out of the mansion, they were blocked by infantry rushing over.
"Get out!"
This knight was quite strong. With a flick of his spear, he kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both legs, and rushed straight to the frontmost infantry holding strange short spears. However, before he could make a stabbing movement, a dazzling white light appeared in front of his eyes...
These infantrymen are holding special "anti-cavalry lances". This weird name is said to have been given by the Prime Minister. Although it does not sound mighty and domineering, its power is an improved version of the earlier "charged lances".
The "anti-cavalry spear" powered by charged spar can be said to be a short-range rocket launcher. The second half is poked into the ground or held against the feet, and the front half is aimed at the approaching cavalry. After it is activated, there is no suspense. A large amount of energy Amidst the sound of Weng Ming's impact, Knight Kewell and the seven or eight cavalry led by him were blasted into pieces all over the sky on the spot.
Blood and meat splattered all over the ground. When the fragments of the armor hit Earl Harrison's face, his horse stood up on the spot because of the fright. The Earl was caught off guard and fell to the ground on the spot. The soldiers who stepped up were directly captured alive...
"Who the hell are you?! Who the hell are you?!"
The only question left in the earl's face covered in blood was this question, but looking around, all the infantry were as silent as machines, only the wolf head imprint on their armor representing the Eftalusifron family, standing on the ground. Silently answered his doubts...
When the magic clock reached 11:00 am, Commander Faram had already led the guards into the Earl's Palace. The ten magicians accompanying the team did not participate in the battle, but quickly began to form a liaison circle here. Faram needed to know the situation of the southern front at this time.
And in the city of Dunkel, south of the temple,
The noble army stationed outside the city also completely collapsed at this time.
Different from the Western Front's tactics, the Turks, who directed the southern troops to attack, bombarded the camp outside the city with artillery vehicles directly 800 meters away.
He didn't care how many nobles or retinues were inside, the 20cm caliber spar gun fired two rounds on horseback, and the infantry didn't even look straight when they drove past, and went straight to the city of Dunkel.
Likewise, the walls of the city of Dunkel were wiped out in a salvo of artillery fire. The infantry company continued to move forward and entered the city without hindrance.
The Dragonlance Knights dispatched a 100-man troop to intercept and kill the nobles trying to escape from the city gate in platoon units. During the battle that lasted until the afternoon, a total of six barons and one viscount were captured or killed alive. The owner, Earl Bridon, tried to climb up the inner city wall to resist, but was blown to pieces by the artillery on the spot with the city wall.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon on May 9, the commander of the Efta Infantry Division in the southern direction, Tuckers, used the magic circle to contact Faram and confirmed that the two cities were under control.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the roads from the temple to the two cities were completely bordering each other, but the puppet building the road did not stop, but continued to march south from the two cities, with the goal all the way to the hinterland of the central kingdom!
And so far, all the forces of the Karen royal family... including the Dragon Clan, including those noble troops who are on their way towards these two cities, know nothing about it.
*****
After nightfall, the city of Suvala was completely taken over by Efta's soldiers, and the curfew was strictly enforced.
Because the road from the temple to here is unblocked, in the evening, the templars and logistics soldiers transported from the temple have arrived. Although their military discipline is not as strict as that of Efta, under the leadership of the bishop, they still strive to control the city. Cities make a nice addition.
In this battle, apart from the casualties of the noble soldiers outside the city, the civilians in the city hardly died. In fact, most of them were confused, and many even hid in their homes from the beginning to the end, and they still don't know who controls the city.
But Jonathan is very clear... This sudden war definitely broke all the expectations of the Karen royal family.
The soldiers from Efta seemed to have descended from the sky, directly blasted through the city wall with powerful weapons, and then came in and occupied the city as if walking in his own garden. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it was real!
He entered the "CIA" agency last year. He was not a subordinate of some nobles at first, but was indeed a child of poor peasants. He was used to hard life since he was a child. part-time job. By coincidence, he joined Parling Firm, and was recommended to join the "CIA" because of his quick mind and good skills.
Up to this point, he has actually paid off his hardships, because the salary of the "CIA" is three times higher than that of the former businessman. But Jonathan had more thoughts about this. Since he can earn three times the price, why can't he earn five times or ten times?
It is precisely because he has experienced poverty that he is full of desire for money that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. And three months ago, when he betrayed his companion's information and caused the other party to be exposed and executed, he received five gold coins as a reward, which was equal to the sum of all his income in the past two years.
So Jonathan was out of control, and at the same time used different methods to seduce many "newcomers" with little experience. Jumping out of the rules of the CIA, weaving an independent network of contacts for himself... Jonathan, who was puppet and cautious, never tried to recruit anyone into the group. On the surface, he was just a "senior" who tried to make everyone more united because he was angry with the management rules.
But no one knew that he did this only to allow himself to have better eyes and ears, fresher first-hand information... and at the same time sell his teammates more efficiently.
Today's battle is over, and Jonathan also realizes that his chance to make a lot of money has come. As long as he can report important information such as the composition, weapon structure, and power of Efta's army, the royal family will definitely reward him heavily!
At the same time, he was thinking about organizing a celebration banquet... Inviting his agents in the "CIA" to celebrate the victory of the first battle of Efta's army.
This double-sided life made Jonathan feel very exciting, and he found himself enjoying the pleasure of walking on the tip of the knife more and more.
Glancing left and right, the night watch team had just passed by the street. He walked carefully in the shadow of the building, and soon came to a hidden residence in the east of the city.
Skillfully turning in from the back wall, Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief after landing. He bought this house alone, and there was no one living in it except for the carrier pigeons that were specially used to deliver letters. He took out the scythe and lit the candles in the house, and began to write with a quill pen, which he had already written in his heart. After writing, I blew on the paper, folded it carefully after it dried in the shade, and then went to the pigeon cage to start picking pigeons.
However, as soon as Jonathan put his hand on the door bolt of the pigeon cage, he found a dark shadow beside him. This frightened him quite a bit, and he almost instinctively pulled out his dagger. He took a closer look, but found that in front of him was the newcomer Nora whom he had just met a few days ago.
"Hey... Nora, why are you here?"
Jonathan was extremely nervous because he knew that the other party must be following him. If you don't want to reveal your identity, you can only kill people!
"I was curious why you ran around during the curfew, so I followed."
Nora still looked like a freckled maid, and she wore standard maid outfits. She tilted her head and glanced at the pigeon coop: "Who are you going to send a letter to? It seems that secret service personnel are not allowed to own pigeons themselves in the intelligence agency." Caged."
"Actually... I haven't told you all this time. I'm a special agent with a special identity in the bureau, and I have the right to report directly to the Prime Minister. I'm planning to report today's news to him now!"
Jonathan made it up, and at the same time passed the letter in his hand: "If you don't believe me, look, the content is here."
Nora didn't seem to notice the deceit at all, and immediately reached out to take it. Jonathan's movements suddenly accelerated, and the dagger in the other hand was passed out directly, and the tip of the blade pointed directly at Nora's heart!
Under the dim light, Jonathan gritted his teeth tightly. He had already planned to press the other's mouth next to prevent her from making any sound. But when the tip of the knife was about to touch the other party's maid outfit, it stopped suddenly.
He found that his right wrist was entangled by a black thing, and the huge force made him unable to move forward or backward. As he looked over, Jonathan suddenly realized... This thing was protruding from the bottom of Nora's skirt.
He let go of the letter with his left hand, and directly clenched his fist at Nora, but she was easily held by the other party. After that, her tail flicked suddenly, and Jonathan flew backward before landing. It appeared at the landing point like a shift, and when Jonathan hit the ground with a "bang", she flicked the dagger with her tail and nailed it directly to the side of Jonathan's face.
The sharp blade cut blood from his cheek, and the double agent didn't dare to move at all. He resisted the severe pain that his body was about to fall apart, and asked in a low voice, "You... who are you?"
"A CIA agent."
Nora picked him up calmly, as easily as holding a water glass. Throwing Jonathan into the room where he was just writing, Nora took out a piece of letter paper and continued: "If you want to live, please rewrite the content of this letter and send it out."
