On March 5, 921, in less than two days, the main city of Uri Bay was occupied. The Yilan army went on an expedition to the main city of Uri Bay. The news that Yi Liuyun was furious and sent troops for the beauty spread quickly among traders and soldiers. It spread like a spider web to various cities in the north.
Viscount Ullari, the lord of the main city of Uri Bay, and his wife Kelanna escaped from the castle dungeon that night, and returned to their territory the next day to worry about the knights and militia, and sent people to the surrounding nobles to use troops. The devastated Kelana returned to the northern family's capital of King Kelsier, escorted by a team of cavalry, to tell her father and brother what had happened to her. The furious Kelanna family conveyed their anger and condemnation of Yiliu Yun to King Lethamon of Dambreth and Prime Minister Plantu of the Kingdom that day.
After hearing what had happened, the king was stunned on the spot, and then banged the marble table angrily, and immediately ordered Prime Minister Plantu to stop providing material assistance to Elantra and stop supporting Elantra's reputation. Prime Minister Plantu calmly stopped the king's order to transfer Yiliuyun's noble status at the last moment, and then accelerated the training and mobilization of the royal army.
Without the king's suppression, Duke Brant was happy to hear the news and quickly conveyed what Lin Fenghan had done to the surrounding nobles. Coupled with the anger of Viscount Julali, almost all the nobles in the north were full of anger towards Lin Fenghan. Disgust.
In the office of the castle in the main city of Yuri Bay, officers and soldiers came and went quickly one after another. Lin Fenghan is reviewing materials and distributing logistics. While the strategy was being deduced, Noni, the head of the Elantra Army Intelligence Bureau, walked in with a worried look on his face.
"Baron, while we were occupying the main city of Uri Bay, the nobles near the north, including the king, were full of hatred towards us. Duke Brant also frequently made many moves, and there was too much news coming from all over the place."
"oh!"
"Say it!"
Lin Fenghan raised his head nervously and said quickly.
Noni took a deep breath and said seriously: "The latest news from our transport fleet is that the royal family has stopped providing me with food, weapons and other material support. According to the scout's analysis, since Viscount Julali escaped the day before yesterday. After returning to his territory, he has now gathered an army of no less than 4,000 people and invited many nobles. The nobles near us are already very vigilant. They have gathered troops and summoned militia. Currently, our Kamikaze Clipper Navy is passing by. Villages and towns are on alert."
"According to the spies we arranged in the city of Malis in the west, numerous messengers are constantly sending messages from the Brant family's main castle to the northwest and south. Some of the fleets at Malis Naval Port also left the port to find their whereabouts. unknown."
"And the port cities near our southern continent have all stepped up their guard. According to the news from the city of Cape Watch, Viscount Lu Linsen, the lord of Cape Watch, has stepped up his investigation of the population of Cape Watch. He has dispatched many troops to strictly guard the city walls and gates, and sent Bricklayers gradually strengthened the city walls, purchased bows and arrows, and purchased fuel and city defense materials to increase the strength of the city defense army. This was also implemented at night. Due to Viscount Lulinsen's curfew, which was also strictly censored, many of our part-time businessmen were unable to effectively convey our news. It was conveyed that many of the external intelligence agents we hired at Cape Watch were captured and died tragically under the whipping of Viscount Lulinsen."
"What?"
Lin Fenghan frowned and said seriously: "Viscount Lu Linsen is indeed very powerful when he is serious, but I will not let him go. Anyone who hurts the people of the Elante government must be punished accordingly."
"correct!"
Lin Fenghan looked at Noni and frowned and said: "Noni. Many of the information I have heard for so long are based on rumors in the group and information provided by businessmen, or hired sailors, merchants, nobles. In the past, we tightly occupied the Elantra When we were in the archipelago, it was indeed useful to rely on this information, but now we have occupied dozens of towns, the territory is so huge, the army is so large, and the fate of the government and the country is being decided. Even now, we cannot place our ears on these countries that are too far behind. In terms of intelligence, we must have our own real intelligence system, what do you think about this?"
"ah!"
"this!"
Noni lowered his head in confusion and whispered: "Baron. I used to be the steward of the Elant Castle family, and then you arranged me to do this job. I thought this would be an easy job without having to fight. But I later discovered that this thing is better than Fighting and killing requires a lot of effort. I am only twenty-seven years old now. I am at this age and mentally do not like this profession, so I am not very enthusiastic about this work. I now understand that intelligence is important to the country and the government. The importance of the military and business, but I really don¡¯t have any special talent in this area, so I hope to resign, and you can arrange another job for me that I like.Civilian government work. "
"Um!"
"good!"
"I see!"
Lin Fenghan nodded in understanding and apologized: "I was negligent in this matter. I did not consider your views on work. I will pay attention to it next time and I will agree to your wish, but not now. From now on, I will look for special talents in intelligence, espionage, diplomacy, and assassins. At the same time, you must also arrange manpower to find such loyal and suitable manpower, and recommend outstanding talents."
"yes!"
Noni paused and said hesitantly: "During my work during this period, I discovered a lot of talents with special skills in intelligence collection, diplomatic negotiations, intimidation and awe, and assassination. Half of them are in the intelligence department, and most of them are in the military reconnaissance department. Among the cavalry, I don¡¯t know if the newly formed General Intelligence Bureau will go to the army to poach people instead.¡±
"The government is the army, the army belongs to the government, and the army serves politics. The General Intelligence Bureau can unconditionally recruit any special talents from any part of the Elante army in the early stage. At present, we can only use any means to establish a strong and efficient intelligence department. Our Elante government Only then can we be established in the kingdom. Noni, I will sign the document now to give you the highest authority."
"Very good!"
Noni nodded happily.
Lin Fenghan continued: "We have been here for three days, and more than half of the supplies have been transported back. By tomorrow afternoon, I will decide to prepare the fleet to attack the Talijian Fortress. You can send more people today to collect relevant information. information!"
