Verina was wearing a suit of armor and was sitting in the office on the second floor of the Shawan Harbor Security Department. It has only been less than three months since she took over Shawan Port, which originally belonged to Morno, but all the people who stayed in this harbor city and were originally loyal to General Morno have been captured by this woman. conquer.
It was not all smooth sailing. In fact, when she first arrived, she was not very popular.
A group of people are not arrogant soldiers, but they are not easy to get along with. He has been in the bars and gray areas of the port city all year round, fighting with people at every turn, and after spending so long with Emre in the past, he often used knives to secretly slash with the Malones of the port guard.
They are not brave soldiers, but more like a group of gangsters who have been recruited by warlord forces. But they must be more arrogant and unreasonable than soldiers.
In the past, Emre could only rely on his generous shots and the name of General Morno behind him to overwhelm these people, not to mention that Verina is still a woman, how can he convince them
But soon, they were convinced.
At first, they were beaten. Although the head of Verina's army is a woman, the strength of the twelfth-level paladin is not something to brag about. Perhaps, she might fall into a disadvantage in a battle of the same level due to different attributes and ability development trends, but after all, the twelve professional levels are here. Her opponent? Not to mention, she also temporarily borrowed a team of elite rangers from Dane to suppress the situation.
But convincing these guys is only the initial step. How to really convince them and work hard for themselves is the biggest test Verina faces.
Originally, Chapple, who handed over the power of Shawan Port to Verina, thought that it would take a long time for this woman to deal with these people. But to Chappelle's surprise, in just one week, everything has calmed down.
He was really surprised. He remembered that it took Emre a year to gradually gain actual power, right
Out of curiosity, he also used the intelligence system to find out. He thought that Verina used some kind of strong means to achieve this, but the fact was not. This woman just took over the job normally and handled the affairs normally, but for no reason, those guys who were originally unruly and obedient all became obedient.
Then, Chapple saw something special.
This woman has a strong personality. There is no lack of decisiveness in many things. When people are in a panic, she can always stand up, point out a clear direction for her subordinates, and can personally lead everyone to achieve their goals.
At the same time, she is more strict with herself than others. When she appeared in front of people, she always had firm eyes and full of energy, and it seemed that she would never see her decadent and weak. A well-fitting armor is always worn on her body. Whether she is standing or sitting, her waist is always straight.
For others, she seldom criticizes them. The gentle and compassionate smiles that are exclusive to women, and the appropriate encouragement, make people feel like spring breeze. But generosity belongs to generosity, but he never arrogantly indulges his subordinates. Rewards and punishments are clear, impartial, but not unselfish, and many things will talk about accommodation and friendship.
He is also charismatic, rich in management skills, and has outstanding abilities. He is very trustworthy and reliable... How can such a person not be welcomed by his subordinates? Chapple even felt that Velina was really a rare person with extremely high leadership, and was impressed by Dane's vision. She didn't know where to find such an outstanding talent.
But at this moment, she was just as usual, sitting in her office on the second floor of the Shawan Port Security Department, wearing her armor meticulously. This kind of full body armor, although the strong body of a twelfth-level paladin can definitely hold it up, it must be uncomfortable to wear on the body. It is hard to imagine that someone can maintain such a dignified posture at any time in non-combat daily life and never change.
There is a stack of documents in front of her, which is the port tax division agreement to be processed in the near future, and there are many tax records. She put a pair of black deerskin gloves aside, holding a quill pen lightly in her exposed bare hands, and was writing and drawing something. She would stop and frown and think for a while, and would soon return to work among.
If there are no accidents, this day should pass like this again.
"Legion Commander, there is an emergency!"
Just as Verina thought this way, she suddenly heard her deputy—Palan, a fourth-level rogue, rushing into the office in a hurry.
Verina stopped writing, showed a gentle smile, stood up and said, "Don't be so anxious, sit down and talk slowly."
Usually, seeing his boss so calm, Palan must have calmed down. But today is different, Palan's mood has not eased at all because of Verina's smile. He said eagerly: "The intelligence personnel we installed in Malone Manor just sent a message saying that Malone is about to make a big move, and the troops have already started to be mobilized, and at the same time there will be arrangements in the city of Shawan Harbor .”
When the female paladin heard the news, her expression became solemn at the moment. She asked: "What kind of operation? Is there any definite intelligence?"
"unknown."
"What about the launch time?"
"unknown."
The consul who was specially appointed by Dane to manage Rotten Wolf Town and Shawan Port, and personally dispatched to Shahaiwan Port, also frowned tightly at this moment. This is also 'unknown', that is also 'unknown', the situation is really too bad.
But this can't be blamed on the unreliability of Chapple's intelligence personnel. The intelligence system that has just been restored can detect the news in advance and send a warning, which is already considered rare. After all, like the deeper level of information, it is not accessible to ordinary people, and spies must be placed in relatively high-level positions among the Malone forces. But this is not easy to do. Maybe it would be a good choice to send someone with strong ability to go from the bottom to the top. However, it will take a long time and a lot of energy to do so. The work that the White Wolf Fort's intelligence network can accomplish within a month.
"It's a good thing to be warned." Verina could only say helplessly, "But I think our spies in Shawan Harbor must be able to get some useful news, right?"
Palan said with a serious face: "The most important thing is this. We just got the news that we found several corpses around the port. Unfortunately, those were all deployed by our intelligence department at the port." (Unfinished to be continued.)
