Qingkong simply turned around and walked out the door.

Samuel looked at his chest. The wound had healed, and the power he received from the demon tyrant had not disappeared with the termination of the contract. Although he was in suspended animation and didn't know what Qingkong and the tyrant had talked about, it was obviously not just smooth.

So simple, but Qingkong has an overwhelming advantage over Tyrant in negotiations.

That was a high-level demon from ancient times!

Samuel shouted to Qingkong's back: "Thank you, Miss Qingkong."

Qingkong didn't stop, she walked out of the main hall without looking back. Kestrel retracted the rapier that was holding Bengmu back and followed Qingkong away.

Bengmu saluted to the departing Qingkong and then closed the door of the castle.

Luke, who was waiting for the incident to end, said: "The next step is our time."

Samuel immediately stood up from his position, walked to Luke, and knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Mr. Governor of Meteor Star, you have fulfilled your promise to bring my soul to peace, and I have fulfilled my promise to offer you my loyalty. From this moment on, your will will be my direction of travel, and I will use my weapons to defend everything you have.

Honor and majesty.”

Luke said to Samuel: "I accept your allegiance, get up! Let's talk about the Temple of the Abyss. They should have a plan to assassinate me."

"Thank you, sir!" Samuel stood up and sat down on the chair to the left of Luke. He was well prepared and took out a map from his pocket and spread it on the table: "The person in charge of the Temple of the Abyss in the Imperial Capital

The person is Radley Moores, the Apostle of the Fourth Abyss. The Celtic Archduke issued an assassination order for members of the imperial royal family and many high-ranking ministers, including you. Originally, these assassination missions involved the blade-wielding brotherhood in the imperial capital.

execution, but this suicidal assassination was rejected by most bayonets.

So the Abyss Temple killed them all..."

Speaking of this, Samuel couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, he was forced to participate in that attack under pressure, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the bleak current situation of the Blade Bearing Brotherhood.

Luke said: "In this war, the dead have died, and the living have to find ways to live. There is nothing right or wrong, only the cruel reality.

Keep talking..."

"Yes, sir!"

Samuel, who surrendered, told the truth everything he knew about the Abyss Temple, including the number of Abyss mages lurking in the imperial capital, their hiding places and their disguised identities.

While telling the story, Samuel also marked the Abyss Temple's stronghold in the imperial capital on the map.

"The Abyss Temple uses its identity as a grain merchant as a cover and owns many grain stores in the imperial capital. Selling grain and delivering grain form a network of connections between them. Dessert shops, bakeries and restaurant chefs all over the city form the tentacles of their intelligence system

.

In addition to these, there are many people with status who are controlled by the Abyss Master using secret techniques and serve them secretly."

The Celtic Grand Duke had long felt the crisis of war, so he established an intelligence system in the imperial capital very early. The Blade Bearing Brotherhood was one, and the Temple of the Abyss was hidden deeper.

While listening to Samuel's story, Luke compared the records in his mobile phone. Most of them were correct. The other part was probably not that Samuel deliberately didn't tell, but that he really didn't know.

He was able to find out so much information about the Abyss Temple, which is already very powerful.

Luke put away the map on the table and said to Samuel: "Your information is very valuable. When I eliminate these abyss mages, it will be like pulling out the nail hammered into the heart of the empire.

Your mission is to continue to lurk and collect the remaining stabbing blades in the Imperial Capital. Don't make your relationship with me public for the time being, and see if the Celtic Grand Guild will reactivate your only remaining intelligence network in the Imperial Capital.

"

Luke stood in the position of the Celtic Grand Duke and thought about it. Although the Imperial City Blades who had undergone a great purge were unable to undertake important intelligence and assassination tasks, after the Abyss Mage in the Imperial City was blamed, he could only rely on

The remaining Thorn Blade intelligence system here obtains information about the Imperial Capital.

Samuel continued to serve the Celtic Archduke, relying on correct intelligence to assist the Barbarian Legion in attacking the Empire's southern army, gaining the Celtic Archduke's trust and dependence.

Conducting intelligence fraud at critical moments will definitely yield miraculous results.

Of course, Samuel could understand Luke's intention, and he said: "Yes, sir, I know what to do. We can't meet often in the future. If you have any orders, you can give me orders through Bengmu."

If Beng Mu hadn't told me personally, I wouldn't have known that he was connected with Kuaishan, both of them are very good stabbing blades."

Luke looked at Bengmu. At this time, he was standing with Kuaishan, and his expression was much more relaxed than before. After all, he was one of his own, and there was no need to be torn between loyalty and friendship.

"Do it well. I will let Raging Wave City allocate activity funds to you on time, and I will never let you have any financial difficulties in developing intelligence." Luke then said to Kuaishan: "Tell Yin Kelan about the situation here.

Viscount, there is something about Samuel that needs to be solved as soon as possible. In addition, the training system of the Thorn Blade must be re-established, so that they will be needed on a wider battlefield in the future."

Samuel, Quicklegs, and Bengmu all replied together: "Yes, Lord Governor!"

Luke ended his meeting with Samuel and asked Bengmu to send them out of this space safe house.

Luke did not rest when he returned to Agent 6. Instead, he spent the night reorganizing all the personnel and strongholds of the Abyss Temple in the Imperial Capital based on Samuel's intelligence and his own additions.

Especially the hidden location of the fourth apostle Maurice, as well as his scope of activities.

Early the next morning, Luke handed over the information he compiled to the professional spies he brought with him, and asked them to verify the people above.

When Xin Ke came to work in a decent manner, Luke called him into his office, and the two of them formulated a plan to encircle and suppress the Abyss Temple's forces in the imperial capital based on the intelligence.

At this time, the eldest prince Fania had already handed over the available troops to Xinkelai. Xinkelai, who had served in the northern border and had rich war experience, now flexed his muscles to formulate an airtight encirclement and suppression plan.

In the afternoon, the spies sent out to verify the intelligence returned.

The Wind Mill Flour Mill is the core of the intelligence system established by the Temple of the Abyss in the Imperial City. It is located in the western suburbs of St. Lun City and is a steam-powered flour processing factory with a very large output.

Food is a city's immediate need. Flour mills connect grain merchants and flour end customers, and can analyze a lot of valuable intelligence through food supply. Feng Mill Flour Mill is not only one of the food suppliers of the city garrison, but also participates in

In order to supply food to the Imperial Army on the southern front, it must be destroyed.

The name of the owner of the Windmill Flour Mill is Peter Ouston, and he is the nephew of the head of a powerful office under the Imperial Grain Administration. Ouston was obsessed with the occult and fell deeply into it. While studying the forbidden occult, he met a man.

An Abyss Mage, and then joined the Abyss Temple.

Relying on his uncle's relationship and the secret support of the Temple of the Abyss, Auston became a very important food supplier in St. Lun City in a short period of time, and even bought a very large house in the upper city.

The fourth apostle Maurice is hiding in this house.

After completing the battle plan to encircle and suppress the Abyss Mage, Sinclair came to Luke and said: "As long as there are enough troops, there is no problem in breaking into the house that Morris is hiding. But according to your information, the Abyss Mage is underground.

A large occult altar and a complex labyrinth-like tunnel were dug out.

If the Abyss Mages retreat and hold on inside, annihilating them will require very heavy casualties. And if it is delayed for too long, it is very likely that important enemy figures will escape.

Morris is an apostle of the abyss who has lived for more than a hundred years. To deal with him... we need to ask the Royal Knights for assistance."

Luke said: "My informant told me that Morris had many meetings with His Majesty's close entourage. If our plan is known to the Royal Knights, the plan to encircle and suppress the Abyss Mage may be hindered."

Hearing the news from Meteor Star, Xin Kelai was greatly surprised: "Your informant is unreliable! How could His Majesty have secret contact with the Temple of the Abyss?"

This is what Samuel told Luke. Considering the current situation of Emperor Augustine, he believed this information.

Luke told Schink: "The current Emperor Augustine is no longer the fearless emperor of the past. His fear of death has led him to secretly launch many experiments related to extending lifespan.

The power of the abyss allowed the apostle of the abyss, who was also a human race, to live for more than a hundred years. It was very tempting to His Majesty, causing him to ignore the dangers brought by the abyss.

Think about what the Apostles of the Abyss did to Oulu College a hundred years ago, no matter for the sake of the empire or your majesty’s reputation, we must resolve this matter as quickly as possible.”

This fact hit Schink very hard.

He regarded his grandfather as his idol since he was a child. A large part of the reason why he joined the army was because of the influence of Augustine the Great. When Augustine the Great was young, he led the imperial army to win many influential battles.

In Xinkelai's impression, Emperor Augustine was an emperor who never knew what fear was, and he dared to charge in the face of any enemy.

And now Emperor Augustine actually wants to transform into an apostle of the abyss in order to extend his life?

In the Golden Shield Empire, as much as people respect Oulu Academy, they hate the Temple of the Abyss. In addition, the actions of the Abyss Mage make them as hostile as the Necromancer.

Is Your Majesty crazy?

"Then don't tell the Royal Knights, I will personally lead the team to kill Morris."

Who would have thought that Luke said: "Miss Qingkong will deal with Morris, and you can just take care of the other abyss mages."

Xin Kelai asked in surprise: "Miss Qingkong also participated in this siege."

Luke said: "How can the Abyss Temple be eliminated without the Oulu Academy? Miss Qingkong will bring several Oulu mages to participate in this battle. The Abyss Apostle Maurice can be left to them. She has experience in killing the Abyss Apostles."

With the support of Qingkong and Master Oulu, Xin Kelai put down his worries. He really had no confidence that he could defeat an apostle of the abyss.

The combat plan has been formulated, and the addresses and characters that need to be confirmed have also been confirmed.

Sinclair joined Qingkong to attack the residence of the grain merchant Alston and annihilate the backbone of the Abyss mages in the imperial capital, including the Fourth Apostle. Luke took agents from Secret Service 6 and a part of the city garrison to attack the suburbs of the city.

Wind Mill Flour Mill.

There are also people responsible for other miscellaneous fish and strongholds.

In this battle, the empire used a total of 236 imperial agents, 3,650 imperial guards of St. Lun City, 345 vehicles of various types, 120 heavy war equipment, and 15 steam airships.

There are 158 Abyss mages targeted, the unknown armed personnel vassalizing the Abyss Temple are unknown, and 34 officials need to be arrested.

Attack time: midnight.

Sink took out his pocket watch and checked the time with Luke before leaving Secret Service 6. He also had to go to the military camp to allocate personnel to assign tasks, so time was a bit tight.

Luke, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to announce the night's mission. Instead, Mo Hu ordered everyone not to get off work at night and wait for the combat mission.

Then they called Kylena, Xue Lai, and sandpaper.

After informing them of tonight's mission, Luke took out another map and laid it on the table.

Sandpaper immediately recognized the area with the most symbols on the map: "This is the Crusader Armor Factory!"
