In the second week after the end of the defense war, the first batch of operators sent by the Military Security Intelligence Agency began to return to the territory one after another, and they not only brought back the manpower required by Amber, but also the intelligence required by Gao Wen.

Facts have proved that these people who have been at the bottom of society from the beginning and are used to dealing with various religions and other geniuses are really talents in collecting intelligence. Although they do not have the extraordinary ability of the Royal Shadow Guard, they have more cunning and small means. In some dark corners, their cunning means are even more effective than the extraordinary power of the Royal Shadow Guard.

In the study of the Lord's Mansion, Gao Wen was embarrassed to listen to Amber reporting information to him. The first phase of the operator's cultural education was not over yet. A considerable number of operators could not read and write at all or could only perform limited reading and writing. Therefore, they used all kinds of strange codes, shorthand and even verbal transmission methods for gutter mice. Although this messy transmission method was more in line with Gao Wen's "confidentiality" requirements, Amber needed to sort it out in advance. It was precisely because of this work content that Amber now looked more and more like a serious intelligence leader. At least she knew to show off her face to do some serious work.

"Our caravan is spreading to the entire southern border, the trade route has been opened, and the trader itself is a good player to spread news. This is the same as you planned at the beginning," Amber seriously reposted the experiences of Scarface Andong and others in various parts of the southern border. "In addition, there are also a group of traders who have recently gone to the East Country Padric, which seems to want to buy the potion to the territory of the Loren family."

"That Mr. Padric shouldn't have been just a consultant in the Viscount's head. His business mind and courage are rare talents. I was instructed to promote the alchemy potion eastward," Gao Wen nodded, "Is there any other news?"

"There are two things I think... something is a bit concerning," Amber frowned, showing a very serious look. "First of all things to perish and the cultists in the southern border seem to be increasing, and some merchants from the central region also brought news that there are cultists in the Holy Spirit Plain, the western and even the northern regions of the Kingdom. Now the lords from all over the Kingdom are trying to strangle the cult forces in their territory."

"All things die and sleepers..." Gao Wen blinked, "Ah, after the beginning of winter, they didn't show up near Cecil's leader. I almost thought those guys had calmed down... I didn't expect that they were more active elsewhere?"

"Yes, it's more active, as if it's going to do something big," Amber shook his head. "And the second thing is also related to them. As the evil behavior of cultists everywhere is becoming more and more serious, the Church of the Holy Light has become extremely active recently. The Church of the Holy Light in many places has increased the frequency of sending combat priests and paladins to the outside world. More and more priests are helping local lords solve the problem of the spread of cults."

"This seems to be their job," said Gao Wen slowly. "The Holy Light is a natural nemesis to all kinds of negative forces. When evil forces spread, the priests of the Holy Light Church are always in the forefront."

"If they just run around to fight cultists, there is no problem, but the key is a saying that has spread in the west recently," Amber said with a expression of "The God of Holy Light is going to cause trouble." "Because the power of Holy Light is always the fastest reaction and the best effect when fighting cultists, the dissatisfaction with other sects in various places is becoming more and more serious, especially the churches whose blood gods and shadows are not good at fighting against evil, and their power attributes are slightly negative, and their situation is becoming more and more embarrassing. Anton and his team heard folk rumors near the Earl of Hosman in the west, saying that the gods of many sects cannot deal with the fallen ones at all, and only the God of Holy Light is dedicated to protecting mortals..."

Gao Wen's brows slowly frowned: "Is this statement widely circulated?"

"At present, it is only spread in the area of ​​Earl Hosmann, but as long as the winter ends and the number of business travel increases, the spread of news will immediately become faster. As long as the activities of cultists remain the same during this period, the situation of the Church of Holy Light and other sects will not change significantly, then this statement will sooner or later become mainstream."

Gao Wen nodded: "Yes... this kind of news always spreads the fastest... Can you find out the source of this statement?"

"It seems that it was spontaneously generated by the people. After all, the facts are there. The various sects except the Holy Light Church will react so late when facing the threat of cultists," Amber shook her head, "But as the Goddess of the Shadow, I just think that the Holy Light Church is going to cause trouble..."

"You are preconceived." Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf who always claimed to be God's choice, "but I also think the Holy Light Church is going to cause trouble."

Amber stared: "Aren't you the same as me!"

"Stop making trouble, I'm not a god's choice," Gao Wen waved his hand and immediately changed the subject. "These things should not affect our territory."

"It shouldn't be affected," Amber nodded, "There is only one holy light priest in our territory. I am still in the same style. I am not worried that he will use holy light to brainwash everyone. I am worried that one day if there is a church of the God of War to preach, and I will be beaten by Wright if there is a disagreement..."

"Anyway, be vigilant. We must take changes from the outside world seriously. If the Church of the Holy Light or the cultists really want to do something, they will not just put Cecil aside... By the way, how are the performance of the first-stage operators doing outside activities? I remember that you seem to have set an assessment project for them..."

When Amber heard this, she suddenly became furious: "If you don't say it, I'll forget that those guys are really worthy of being the best seedlings back then. They are all good at going out for field operations. Each of me gave them eighty silver coins as action funds, and the least one left after returning is over ninety..."

Gao Wen listened to the first half of the day and almost sprayed out all the tea in his mouth when he heard the last half of the day: "Ha!?"

"The most amazing thing is Gipleli. She pretended to be sent by her mentor to find a magic apprentice with talented children. She stole Carol to get food and drink for several days. In the end, if she didn't remember the mission, she was afraid that she would have fooled Viscount Carol's only child..."

"Damn!"

"The guy 'Quick Leg' almost became the guard of the local lord. In order to catch the target person out of the prison, he sneaked into the soldiers guarding the prison, and then accidentally performed too well..."

“Emmmmmm…is there any more?”

"Anton contacted more than a dozen pharmacy merchants who wanted to surrender to Cecil's leadership at Earl Hosman. If you think it's appropriate, I will transfer this to Padric..."

Gao Wen: "…"

As it turns out, the horsemen under Amber are really crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Although the training they received in Cecil and the duke certificates they carried themselves also helped their actions, their idea of ​​doing things can't be trained, and that's all talent...

However, while lamenting the talents of those people, Gao Wen couldn't help but worry a little in his heart: "They won't make trouble too much, but the noise is too big to be exposed, right? You should know that the most important thing for the officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau is their own secrets. They are too active and standing in front of the stage will cause bad things."

"Don't worry, those guys certainly know this," Amber is not worried about this. "First of all, they act strictly in accordance with their disguise roles, and do not do anything that does not match their own "role". Even if someone pays attention, they will only believe in the fake identity they use. Secondly, those guys did not forget the "sweep" I taught them when they acted. They appeared at the destination in a reasonable way and left in a reasonable way, which would never lead to doubt.

Later, do you think every lord and their consultants and scholars are like you? Those guys are very slow and do not pay attention to what happens between civilians. In addition to caring about their titles and property, everything the civilians do is just a "fool that doesn't need to be cared about" in the eyes of traditional nobles. How could they be like yours, there is a complete household registration system from top to bottom and strict personnel management. Even if there is one more person in the territory, they can report to the Government Affairs Department on the same day..."

After Amber said this, Gao Wen also felt that this was true. In this era, besides the Cecil territory, where is there a so-called personnel control and registration system? The lords didn't even know how many people they had under their command, let alone the concepts of spies and counter-espionage, infiltration and anti-infiltration that had been played on the earth. Although there were spies, intelligence work, and aristocratic eyes, these things were either primitive and simple, or they were just "combats of the same level" between the aristocratic class and no one had ever considered three-dimensional intelligence work from the bottom to the upper level. If not, how could all spies sent by aristocratic nobles from all over the southern region be exposed so easily?

"This is great, the first result of the Military Intelligence Bureau is quite good," Gao Wen smiled and sat comfortably on his chair. "This is your credit, so..."

"Give me an extra six or seven days' wages, and give me the bottle of Poker wine in your cellar, and then give me a vacation or something..."

Gao Wen stared at the half-elf, and always felt that this guy's shameless ability to climb along the pole has made a big progress. Before he could finish his encouragement, Amber had already listed all the reward list...

I'm afraid I didn't have it listed before I came to report my work...

At the same time, in the ancient underground palace far away from Cecil's leadership, another group of people were also paying attention to the changes in the situation.

They were wearing priest robes with certain religious symbols removed and stood in the assembly hall of the underground palace. The flesh and blood or plant tissues that grew up everywhere in the underground palace were seen, but these believers, whose body and mind had long been distorted, were accustomed to the strange and terrifying atmosphere here.

After a short period of silence, a woman suddenly walked into the hall. She was wearing green priest costumes, with a beautiful face and a convex figure on her upper body. However, at the hem of her priest robe, there were a pile of wriggling roots and vines that made people feel strange and inexplicable to support her forward.

The woman glanced at the dull atmosphere and spoke with a sarcastic expression: "Gentlemen, isn't your discussion yet?"

A priest who died of everything said dissatisfiedly: "Master Belltila, you are late."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you were just useless discussions before," Belltila smiled faintly and walked towards her position indifferently, "It's just to explain... the Ansu-Tifeng War that we have worked hard for so long is about to start, isn't it?

"Gentlemen, accept the facts...

"In the wasteland, there were changes that we expected..."
