"..." Kordak hesitated.
"If this thing can be done, it will be considered a great achievement of yours. After the city is defeated, I will advise His Majesty that there is no problem in making you a corps commander." Manhattan looked at Kordak and took the lead in speaking. Except for your own conditions.
"Old General, you have misunderstood. Since he has joined the army, Kordak will naturally do his best to serve the empire. As for things like promotion and promotion, I, Kordak, dare not say that I have never thought about it, but with the help of I still can't do something like climbing up with my little brother." Kordak said sincerely.
"Very good, I like you to tell the truth." Manhattan nodded: "But then why are you hesitant now?"
"I'll tell you the truth, General." Kordak smiled bitterly: "My brother doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with His Highness Joffrey, the great prince of the empire. If he comes here because of a private message from me, I'm afraid that Regnar It will be true, and if he gets into any trouble because of this, then I, Kordak, will be sorry for him."
"Lord Regnar, it is a blessing to have a big brother like you. But..." Manhattan snorted coldly: "Even if Lord Dark Elegy comes here because of your private message, he is still working for the empire. I don’t believe that Joffrey would even say anything to him about this kind of thing. Huh! If that’s really the case, I, Manhattan, might as well give up my old face and lecture His Majesty Larvin. Look at this kid. Don't worry about this. As long as I'm here, neither you nor Regnar will be the target of public criticism. With this guarantee, you should feel relieved, right? Is it possible, You don’t even believe what I say?”
"Kordak doesn't dare." Kordak quickly lowered his head: "I will just write this letter."
"Then leave it to you. Once this is done, your promotion to the position is a sure thing." Manhattan nodded: "Don't be too busy to refuse. Although you are just a captain, what you have done in the past six months is I still remember what you did. I have also heard about the group of soldiers under your command. Although their personal strength is good, they are also famous for being unruly and unruly. You can train them into a warrior in just a few months. As a whole, this is a great achievement in itself. What's more, since you arrived at the front line, although you have made constant mistakes, your achievements are obvious to all. If it weren't for you, the problem on the west side of Tide City would probably have taken another week to solve. . So, if you reward based on merit, you should have been promoted long ago based on your merit. This incident is just an opportunity. You don’t have to feel that you are taking advantage of your little brother."
"Yes... thank you, old general, for your kindness." Now that Manhattan had spoken up to this point, Kordak would be a little merciless if he refused again.
…
Melinder, the headquarters of the Hawke Empire's Military Intelligence Department, Regner was currently dealing with a mountain of documents with a tired face. He finally understood why Velez, as his teacher, rarely came to guide him. He was busy! It's just too busy.
There's a rebellion somewhere, there's something strange happening among the Stoker people recently, there's someone suspected of being a Stoker spy in the empire... No wonder the teacher doesn't have time to guide him, no wonder Alex wants to leave even though he's crying and shouting. This damn place.
Staying in a place like this, you will be faced with mountains of documents all day long. If you didn't have inhuman concentration, you would definitely have gone crazy!
Even so, the information had already been screened and processed by Alex and Annelotte before being handed over to Regnar. Logically speaking, Alex himself has been in the position of director for a long time, and he naturally has some experience in analyzing and processing intelligence.
Annelotte also worked as an assistant in the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild for two years before she met Regnar, so she was naturally familiar with this kind of document screening problem. But even after the double checks of the two of them, the number of documents delivered to Regner was outrageous.
If Garona hadn't often helped him analyze and deal with these problems, Regnar might not even have to sleep in the past few months!
However, Garona seems to be a little tired of such endless processing work recently. When Regnar consulted her recently, the female half-orc always ignored him. Regnar had no choice but to bite the bullet and analyze these problems by himself. However, it has to be said that under Garona's previous guidance and his own efforts, Regnar's recent progress in work has been very obvious.
"Hurry up and do some difficult task so that I can go out and do some activities..." Regnar looked at the documents that were as tall as him and couldn't help but sigh. He had not been dealing with documents every day in the past six months. Occasionally, Regnar would be lazy and leave all the matters to Alex, and then he, Annelotte and Inelise could have a free day. But if you want to pray for more relaxation time, you can only rely on difficult assassination missions.
The Military Intelligence Office is an agency that integrates intelligence collection, military assassinations, and internal monitoring. Military assassination is also considered a top priority in the Military Intelligence Department. Some well-known generals in the Stoke Empire or key figures who will affect the war situation must be eliminated by assassins sent by the Military Intelligence Department.
However, the assassins of the Military Intelligence Department are not omnipotent. Some assassination targets themselves are high-level warriors or high-level mages. In this case, few assassins are qualified for such tasks.
It is worth mentioning that to some extent, high-level assassins are even rarer than high-level mages.
Why? Because of danger! Think about it, you are walking alone in an environment full of enemies. Not only do you have to accurately find your assassination target among so many enemies, but you also have to find ways to kill that person. Okay, even if you can do this, are you confident that you can escape unscathed? Once you take action, it will be a matter of time before you are exposed. And once exposed, it would be really difficult to break out from the siege of so many enemies. Therefore, even if the assassin can kill the enemy, his own end may be a dead end.
Of course, poisoning, framing or assassination are also methods of assassination. However, most of the targets assassinated by the Military Intelligence Agency are very powerful, and ordinary poisons are unlikely to be effective. As for advanced poisons, they are not only expensive to produce, but they are also difficult to kill immediately. In this case, as long as the target is delayed for a few hours, the priests from the Stoke Empire will most likely come over. As soon as the priest arrives, the poison will also lose its effect.
Therefore, orthodox assassinations still rely on assassins to use knives.
It can be said without mercy that assassin is probably the most dangerous profession with the highest mortality rate in the world. It is precisely because of this extremely high mortality rate that the number of high-level assassins is so rare. These assassins who can enter the high-level field are very valuable resources for the Military Intelligence Office. If there is no great guarantee of survival, Regnar is really reluctant to send them out.
So what should we do with those important and difficult tasks that the Hawke Empire has to perform? Hehe, at this time, it is the turn of our legendary assassin, Lord Regnar of Dark Elegy, to appear.
In the early days of this guy's entry into the Military Intelligence Agency, not only did external ministers speak a lot about him, but there were also many people within the Military Intelligence Agency who were dissatisfied with Regner, a brat who was still young. What can you do to stabilize your position? Of course it is a convincing strength!
Therefore, in this short period of six months, Regner carried out three MI assassination missions. A total of four important members of the Stoke Empire were assassinated, including a high-level mage and a high-level warrior. Moreover, his assassination was either by using a slightly successful wave blade to kill people invisible, or by charging and killing, and then relying on his own weird and unpredictable shadow to instantly float away and escape.
So after half a year, Regnar not only had a 100% success rate in performing missions, but he also escaped from each mission unscathed. He even suffered only minor injuries once, but was completely uninjured the other two times!
Such a terrifying record not only eliminated the doubts of the outside world, but also increased the awe of Regnar among the members of the Military Intelligence Department. After all, they have been in this organization for a while, so for the tasks performed by Regnar, although some people can still pat their chests and promise to complete them, if they are unscathed like Regnar... they will I no longer have the confidence...
Of course, what they didn't know was that each of Regnar's assassination missions was not carried out alone. Frost girl Annelotte always follows Regnar. Even if he goes to carry out an assassination, Annelotte will be waiting for him in a safe and secluded corner. As long as he completes the task, Regnar will rush to Annelotte immediately, and then the Frost Girl will perform a teleportation spell. Want to find Regnar? Even if they dig three feet into the ground, it will be difficult to find them!
Garona also had this comment about her relationship with Regnar: "Although your ability to fight head-on is only so-so, when it comes to your ability to sneak in, assassinate and escape, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can be better than you." Stronger."
It is precisely because of these advantages that Regnar seems to be particularly enthusiastic about this kind of assassination mission recently. But due to Alex's entanglement, he has always been unable to get away from the Military Intelligence Department. Want to go out to perform missions? There are no doors!
But the less he had to do, the more Regnar yearned for the free life outside. Although assassination is also a dangerous thing, for Regnar, this kind of flexing his muscles is always much cuter than dealing with documents.
It is precisely because of this that Regnar sighed like this when facing these documents.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
After Annelotte knocked on the door, regardless of whether Regnar answered or not, she pushed the door open and entered. According to her, she just came to the Military Intelligence Office to fulfill her promise to Kordak and to help Regnar. As for the superior-subordinate relationship? Not to mention that he doesn't admit it, Regnar himself doesn't even dare to have such an idea!
"Thank you for your hard work." Regnar looked at Annelotte who looked a little tired and quickly comforted her softly. This girl actually worked harder than him, so Regnar was very grateful for this.
"Here is a letter from you. It seems to be from the boss." Annelotte put the document on the table and took out an envelope from her arms.
