Chapter 404: Using wisdom to make a difference will lead to great success
Under the interrogation of Beren and Mallus for four consecutive days, the prisoner's peace of mind finally collapsed.
"I said, I will say anything, as long as you can guarantee that I will not die." The prisoner said dejectedly.
Beren said hello, pulled a chair and sat in front of the prisoner, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you tell everything you know, I will not only guarantee that you will not die, but I will also guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
The prisoner suddenly burst into tears and banged the back of his head against the wooden board beneath him.
After he calmed down, Beren asked in a calm voice: "What's your name?"
"Torex, Epuli, Taurex," the prisoner muttered, staring at the ceiling blankly.
Beren asked anxiously: "Where are they from?"
"Nai'an, Sirod City."
"age?"
"Thirty-seven years old."
"Have you started a family?"
Taurex shook his head and said, "No."
Belen asked one question after another, like a barrage of questions, but he asked all the prisoners' personal questions. Some questions were even asked over and over several times.
Piriank poked Malus and asked in a low voice: "Why do you keep asking these things?"
Mallus smiled and said: "To determine whether he is lying, and to completely break his psychological defense."
Belen nodded and said more gently: "Very good, you did a good job, Taurex."
Then he turned his head, waved to the person next to him, and said: "Untie Mr. Taurex and bring him some clean clothes."
Two strong men unlocked Taurex's shackles and helped him up from the table.
Taurex was too weak to stand up, and sat on the stage with his body hunched and shrinking.
Pilianke came over with a dry towel and a set of loose clothes, put them on Taurex, and pulled out a chair. The two of them held Taurex and sat on the chair.
Belen stood up, poured a glass of wine, served it to Taurex himself, then pulled up a chair and sat closer to Taurex.
Taurex raised his head and looked at him, grabbed the wine glass with trembling hands, and suddenly drank it all in one breath.
Belen looked into Taurex's eyes and said kindly: "Mr. Taurex, as long as you cooperate with us like this, nothing unpleasant will happen again.
After the matter is over, you can accept our arrangement, change your name and live carefree anywhere in the world. Even if you are not satisfied with our arrangement, you can also take a large sum of money and live the life you want.
Life."
Taurex shuddered, sighed feebly, and said weakly: "Remember your promise. Okay, you can ask."
Beren stared into his eyes and said, "What are you going to do in Nadel City?"
Taurex said: "Contact the people in the city."
Beren said: "Those people in the city?"
Taurex shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only conveyed news and never met them."
Belen pulled the chair closer to Taurex and said, "Who is your superior?"
Taurex hesitated, his eyes open blankly.
Belen said: "Mr. Taurex, you did a good job just now. Let us continue the pleasant atmosphere, okay? Who is your superior?"
Taurex said: "I don't know his name, we all call him the leader."
Beren asked: "What does he look like?"
Taurex shook his head and said: "He always covers his face. I have never seen him before. But he is very young."
Beren stared at Taurex for a while, then said: "How do you deliver the news?"
"I'll just put it on the third bench in the square."
Belen said: "What message are you conveying?"
"The scorpion has given wings to prepare them for rebellion."
Everyone nearby couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.
Belen couldn't help but move his chair forward a little more, and his whole body was almost touching Taurex. Belen reached out and grabbed Taurex's shoulder and asked urgently: "Where is the trouble?"
Tao Canx bit his lip hesitantly, but when he saw Beren's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but turned his head and whispered: "Nai... Nidel City."
The room suddenly fell silent.
The water glass slipped from Piliank's hand, fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a crisp sound. Piliank was stunned and murmured: "Oh my God~!"
Belen turned his head, glared at Piliank, and then asked: "Where is the date? What date did you set?"
"As soon as the scorpions arrive."
Beren asked anxiously: "Why did the scorpion fly here?"
Taurex shook his head again and said, "I don't know."
Beren stood up, pointed at Taurex's nose, and shouted angrily: "You didn't tell the truth~!"
Taurex shrank back in horror and argued loudly: "I said it all, and it's all true. I'm just a little person, and they don't let me know many things. I really said it all..."
Beren leaned down and stared at him coldly with a terrifying look.
After a long time, he suddenly relaxed, said softly "Oh", and said gently: "Okay, I believe you now."
Then he waved to a big man next to him and said, "Marus, get him something to eat. After you finish eating, you can continue talking to Mr. Taurex."
Mallus nodded cautiously.
Belen turned around and walked out of the basement smoothly. As soon as he came up from the basement to the ground, Belen changed his calm demeanor and hurriedly walked away towards the Governor's Palace.
Belen rushed into the back house of the Governor's Palace along the secret passage, ignored the surprised looks of the servants, walked quickly into the house, and went straight to the study on the second floor.
At the door of the study, two Guards soldiers were on duty. Belen took a breath and asked: "Are the two boss ladies here?"
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were dumbfounded when they saw the handsome middle-aged man who usually had a handsome demeanor running in in an unprecedented hurry.
One of the guards came to his senses and couldn't help but said with a smile: "What's wrong? Chief Belen, is there a fire behind your butt?"
Belen stamped his feet anxiously and said: "Callimo, don't make trouble with me here. Something big is really going to happen."
The two guards couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Calimo quickly whispered: "Yes, they are all here. If you are really in a hurry, I will inform you now."
Belen hesitated, and then he remembered the famous motto of the Julian royal family: 'If there is bad news, be the first to know it.'
Kalimo turned around and walked into the room. After three seconds, he turned around and came out again, opened the door and said: "Two adults, please come in."
Belen straightened his clothes slightly, then took a deep breath and walked in the door.
Catherine was sitting behind her desk approving documents. When she heard someone coming in, she immediately raised her head and looked at Belen's panic. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Captain Belen, why are you in such a panic?"
Beren said: "Something is going wrong, Miss. The orcs plan to attack Nadel City. And they already have their internal agents in the city."
Catherine was startled. She heard a "snap" sound and accidentally pinched the pen in her hand.
Beren quickly recounted the information they had extracted from Taurex to Catherine and Adele.
Adele was so shocked that she covered her mouth and said, "How is this possible?"
Beren said in a deep voice: "This is very possible. Master Lorraine said that a war never tires of deceit.
Hundreds of thousands of orcs are holding down all our main forces in the south, and then sending a surprise force to sneak attack our hinterland. This is a common method of fighting. Setting up an ambush in the city, once the city is attacked, there is a high possibility of opening the city gate.
.”
Catherine suddenly stood up and said: "How many troops do we still have in the city?"
Since Adele has been having nothing to do since she came to Naian Province, and she also worked on the college picket team when she was in the college, she has rich experience. Therefore, with the war going on, Catherine can't "eat for nothing"
Under the banner of the banner, the security of Nadel City was completely handed over to her hands, and she was made the city defense commander and responsible for the security of Nadel City.
At this time, after listening to Catherine's question, Adele also frowned her slender eyebrows and said worriedly: "There are not many left. The Nai'an Army has all gone south, and there are still two thousand city guards and one thousand two hundred people in the city.
Guard soldiers, but most of them are old and weak soldiers. They can only be used as a fill-in to scare the people. If they are released to fight, I only need a hundred... uh, no, just fifty knights and a charge will be enough.
Get rid of them~!"
Adele thought of something again, paused, and then continued: "By the way, there are also... the nine hundred guards around us."
Catherine snapped: "How many enemies are there? When will they arrive?"
Belen said: "It's being interrogated, but it seems that the prisoner doesn't know."
Both Catherine couldn't help but fell silent.
Now that Major General Nidel City Soldiers are being killed, it is when he is weak. If he is punched hard by someone at this time, he will definitely suffer heavy losses. Not to mention, there is a traitor within his own body. This is heaven.
If a big event is handled improperly, there may even be a risk of annihilation of the entire army.
Just think back to the story of the great business empire that was impregnable, unified for thousands of years, and prosperous and stable.
At that time, my wise and mighty leader, the hero who descended from the sky, the common leader of the world who was respected by all people, the wonderful strategic tactician, the perfect military strategist, and the great leader of the Yin and Shang Empire, Xin Shou, while launching military conquests and promoting national unity,
In order to stimulate the economy of the semi-slave and semi-feudal empire, they worked hard to build deer platforms, wine forests, meat ponds, and hold imperial beauty pageants...
Just when he was engaged in construction like crazy, a great traitor appeared within the empire, Jiang Ziya. This guy had been an official in the empire and was familiar with the situation of the empire. However, he went to collude with King Wu of Zhou's terrorist organization.
In the end, it overturned the great Yin Shang Empire with its splendid culture and long history.
This shows how terrible the traitor is.
Everyone was silent for a while, digesting the shocking news.
Only then did Catherine show off her queenly demeanor. She stood up calmly, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said to Adele, "Let's go together."
He turned around and took two coats from the hanger, threw one to Adele, then put the other one on himself, and hurried out the door.
When she arrived at the door, Catherine paused and said to the guards on both sides: "You two, go and invite Miss Lorena and Miss Hilmeria, just the two of them. Take them to the Dongchang Jinyiwei..."
She couldn't remember the institution that Lorraine had given a strange name to, so she couldn't help but look at Belen.
Belen looked at it and quickly added: "Langley, Langley Counterintelligence and Anti-infiltration Center." (Note, Langley is the address of the CIA.)
Catherine froze, scolded Lorraine in her heart, and then waved her hands to the two guards and said, "You go quickly."
Seeing Catherine's anxious look, the soldiers of the Guards knew that the matter was of great importance, and hurriedly saluted and ran out quickly.
Catherine and Adele did not follow Belen and went directly to the headquarters of the venture capital company. They first turned to the office building of the Governor's Mansion in front and found Angus who was still working. Looking at Angus's surprised look, Catherine also
Explaining, he said directly: "The full name of martial law is ordered, the militia and all soldiers are summoned to the city, and the city gates are triple guarded."
Looking at Catherine's look, Angus knew that something big had happened. He nodded solemnly and said, "As you command, Your Highness."
That night, the continuous sounds of military orders and the orderly footsteps of the soldiers shattered the peaceful dreams of the Nedel people.
After dinner, Vera hid in her room and dozed off, but she didn't dare to fall asleep. She could only lie on the bed, holding a thick book, and slowly turned it over.
Although in name, Vera is the little maid who takes care of Lorraine's life, everyone is aware of Vera's identity and knows that she is Lorraine's heart and she is a powerful mage.
There is a lot of prestige among mages.
Not only is Vera extremely well-educated, she talks and walks like an aristocratic lady, but she is also friendly and friendly. She always smiles no matter who she meets. People around her regard Vera as the little lady who warms the governor's bed, and the whole of Nai'an does not.
No one dared to yell at this little maid with a special status. After dinner, the maid left early so as not to disturb Lorraine and Vera's rest.
Lorraine approached Vera's room carelessly and saw Vera's little head leaning in front of the book, her long blue hair hanging down and slowly swaying.
Lorraine patted her arm and said, "Vera, get up."
Vera opened her eyes and said, "Ah? It's time? I'm out."
With that said, he jumped out of bed and prepared to walk out the door to do his high-altitude reconnaissance patrol every night.
Lorraine took Vera's arm and said, "We're not busy anymore. We won't go on patrol today. I'm asking you to do something."
"Huh?" Vera looked at Lorraine strangely, her distrustful eyes clearly saying "You have a conspiracy".
Lorraine threw her hand angrily and knocked on Vera's forehead.
Vera held her head and said "Oh," she looked at Lorraine aggrievedly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Violence, tyranny, dictatorship."
Lorraine waved her hand to stop Vera from continuing to ramble, and said: "Okay, okay, tonight, you go back to Nadel City and send this letter back to Nicole and Del."
Lorraine said as she took out a letter and waved it in front of Vera.
When Vera saw that there was something to be ripped off, she put aside her resentment towards Lorraine and immediately felt happy. However, she still looked at Lorraine dissatisfied and said: "Master, we agreed on a monthly subscription
There is nothing like this in it.”
Lorraine said angrily: "I paid."
Vera pointed at her straight little nose, tilted her head cutely and said: "It's so...far away from Nadel City~!
Vera said "good" with a long sound.
"Okay, how much do you want?"
Vera stretched out two fingers and compared the number of two, and said: "Two thousand."
Lorraine snorted and said, "Why didn't you grab it? You thought you were Air China. Five hundred."
Vera turned around and walked out, saying, "Oh, I'd better go out on patrol."
"One thousand, don't give up." Lorraine said: "It only takes four days at most to go back on a fast horse. Besides, you have finished eating your snacks."
Vera turned around, sighed maturely, and said: "Just one thousand, I'm a nice person. Let's record it in the account first."
Lorraine could only sigh helplessly and thought to herself: My family raises all the best animals, so I can still make money at a loss.
Vera jumped up to Lorraine in two steps, took Lorraine's letter, and said with a smile: "The young master is the best to me."
Then he stood up on tiptoes, raised his red mouth and kissed Lorraine on the face. He turned around and said hurriedly: "Master, I'm going."
I jumped out and ran upstairs.
Lorraine found her pockets, but her wallet was gone again.
"This dead girl." Lorraine muttered, chased after her and said, "Wait a minute, Vera."
By the time Lorraine followed Vera onto the roof, Vera had already taken off and was ready to set off.
"Master, is there anything else?" Verachi asked.
Lorraine clasped her hands on her chest and said calmly: "Are you sure you won't miss it?"
"Ah?" Vera screamed in surprise, fell down again, and said dejectedly: "I, I... what should I do? Master~!"
Lorraine waved his hand and hit Vera on the head with another violent shock, saying: "Stupid, you fly west to the coast first, then go north along the coast, and when you reach the mouth of the river, turn inward and you will find the city of Nidel. When you get to Naidel,
Del City, you can rest for a day and then come back."
Vera smiled, nodded, flew into the air, and said, "I understand."
Watching Vera disappear into the night sky, Lorraine sighed, turned around and walked off the roof.
Vera transformed at high altitude, spread her wings, made several comfortable circles, and flew towards the west at full speed.
Soon they arrived at the coast that turned dark blue under the starlight. Vera turned her body lightly and walked north along the coastline.
The coast below me is always the same, except for the occasional small village, just continuous beaches or strange rocks.
The sea in front of me was undulating gently, and there was nothing on the sea surface, and it looked completely silent.
Vera was like a child riding in a car, looking around boredly, occasionally seeing some villages and towns inland, and would turn a slight corner to step on a plate to see if there were any valuable targets.
At an inadvertent glance, she seemed to see the sails of some ships on the horizon. Vera was stunned. Driven by curiosity, she flew towards the ocean. At the same time, she was thinking to herself: If it was a fat sheep, should she take action?
Where can I grab a handful? Well, well, well~!
After slowly getting closer, Vera, who was condescending, discovered that here was actually a huge fleet, with ships of various styles and sizes spread out on the sea.
