The Origin of Arcane

This is inseparable from the management system of the Yongye Army Commander.

Since the entire territory was incorporated layer by layer and established by themselves, both the residence and the population are very planned.

Although it is not to the extent that each resident has his own ID number, it still belongs to each district and village.

When a person wandering outside can't even report his own jurisdiction and village fort, he probably has something wrong with him, and after a little cross-examination, he will basically reveal his bottom line.

After all, the outside world basically doesn't understand what happened in the past seven or eight years led by the Yongye army. They don't know anything about the castle alliance or the personnel diversion, and they can't solve the problem of their own identity at all.

Being detained for review is in accordance with legal procedures in the Yongye Army Command.

The false catch rate is almost zero.

This is also inseparable from the vigilance of the militia and self-defense forces. After all, no matter how complete the policy is, it must be implemented by personnel, otherwise it is a useless empty shell.

After interrogation, these captured sentry ghost slaves came from a variety of backgrounds, basically including all forces, including the Princess Regent, the ally of the Yongye Army Commander, and Countess Angelberina.

As for whether what these sentry ghost slaves confessed was true, or they were chasing and biting randomly, it is unknown.

Anyway, a few days after they finished their confession, they were secretly executed, and even the original interrogation files were all destroyed, so it was assumed that this had never happened, and this person had never appeared.

The fate of the rest is more tragic. What awaits them will be repeated interrogations. When they accept this task, they should think about what they will face in the future.

Among them, the Kingsley family led by Carter sent the largest number of sentries, and all the ghost slaves were sent by them.

The special profession of Ghost Slave disappeared with the rise of the Yongye Army Leader.

But they didn't disappear, they just hid in dark corners like mice. Once a new employer appeared, they would swarm out like flies smelling a rotten smell.

Especially this time, it wasn't the Kingsley family who took the initiative to find the ghost slave, but the ghost slave took the initiative to find the other party.

It's not that these ghost slaves have such far-sighted political vision, knowing that the Kingsley family may clash with the leader of the Evernight Army in the Swamp of Despair.

Not to mention them, even the Kingsley family's contemporary Grand Duke Buck couldn't see such a long-term view.

It's purely because the Kingsley family's wealth is world-renowned, and they have the greatest demand for slaves, so they are more likely to lead troops against the Eternal Night Army in the future.

At the beginning, the Kingsley family was just raising a game of idle chess. How could they have imagined that the leader of the Yongye army would grow up to the present level in just a few years.

Even though Grand Duke Buck didn't think that the Eternal Night Army Leader would be their biggest competitor in the Swamp of Despair, out of caution, he mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, including being forgotten by them, who was about to survive in the mine. Dead ghost slaves.

Before the ghost slaves were activated, they were still a group of slaves. Don't expect the Kingsley family to treat them differently. At most, the oppression is not that serious.

It's just that these ghost slaves' understanding of the Andes Mountains was only ten years ago. With just an Andes face, it really can't provide much cover, on the contrary, it attracts more hatred.

Some things buried deep in the bones have not disappeared with the passage of time, but have become deeper.

Those ghost slaves who were captured were the best proof. When the professionals from the Yongye Army arrived, most of them were beaten to death, and a few of them died soon after.

The Yongye military leader has no way to pursue responsibility, except that it is a good thing for the people to help catch spies and sentries, and it can't dampen their enthusiasm, but also because the law does not blame the public.

Not one or two people participated in the beating of the ghost slaves. Most of those who had been directly or indirectly harmed by them would not be able to resist.

The behavior of the Kingsley family has proved one point in disguise. They attach more importance to the Swamp of Despair than imagined.

In fact, the determination of the Kingsley family to enter the Swamp of Despair is reflected in all aspects.

For example, on the border between the Carter Army and the Swamp of Despair, the incorporation of those irrelevant cities.

The emissaries of Grand Duke Buck brought not only amnesty and gold, silver and jewels, but also bloody killings.

Getch City.

The largest city in the three-way zone, the dozen or so three-way towns along the Cartel Hills and the Swamp of Despair, with a resident population of up to 50,000, is no worse than ordinary county-level cities.

It was able to develop for many reasons.

Geographical factors are naturally indispensable, with half a mountain and half a river.

Backed by the remaining hills led by the Cartel Army, the front is a series of water and land swamps of despair. However, the terrain here is relatively high, and only the valleys are submerged. islands in.

Needless to say, this terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as one side is defended, it will be difficult for the enemy to come in.

The mountain it was leaning on was an iron mine, and it was also a rich mine. If you hit it twice with a shovel, you could smash out a piece of iron ore with a high iron content.

Even among cartel leaders rich in mineral deposits, such rich mines are rare.

It is conceivable what kind of bloody storm was staged in order to fight for this place.

The Kingsley family and the crocodile family almost smashed their brains out here, and every inch of the land was soaked in blood.

The Crocodiles are the natives of the Swamp of Despair, and they are also the remnants of the ancient Andes Empire in the Jiangnan Plain.

Just because the Swamp of Despair has not been conquered by the Byron Alliance does not mean that no one lives here.

It is said that the vitality of cockroaches is tenacious, and the adaptability of human beings is almost the same.

As long as the living environment is not extreme to a certain extent, they will find their own way out, just like the Kentana barbarians on the Kentana Ice Field.

The Swamp of Despair has a dangerous environment and harsh living conditions, but it is far behind the Kentana Ice Field, especially in terms of products, which are quite rich.

After all, the temperature here is suitable and there is a lot of rain.

When the Jiangnan Plain turned into a swamp of despair, most of the residents moved away, while some stayed and gradually adapted to the new environment, just like the mountain people in the Andes Mountains, as time went by, they had already The ancient Andes Empire was forgotten, and a new name and cultural heritage was formed - the crocodile family.

Their name comes from the simple fact that they are known for keeping crocodiles and pythons in captivity.

Crocodiles and pythons are as common in their villages as Andean cats and dogs.

In particular, crocodiles have been domesticated by them like hounds, which can not only guard the house, but also hunt and fight.

In a complex environment like the Swamp of Despair, the War Crocodile can indeed display a stronger combat effectiveness.

After decades of struggle, the ruling power of Geqi City finally fell into the hands of the Kingsley family.

Just like the Andis people back then, due to the sparsely populated area and the lack of close connection with each other, there was no complete unity from beginning to end. After a long time, the successor was weak, and there was no way to compete with the rich and powerful Kingsley family.

However, the Kingsley family's rule here lasted less than ten years before they were overthrown by the mining slaves, local gangs and crocodile tribes.

At that time, the Kingsley family was caught in the vortex of power changes, and there was no time to pay attention to it. When the new Grand Duke came to power, he could spare his energy.

Not only was Geqi City turned into an iron barrel by them, but even other surrounding towns, under their instigation and support, became self-reliant one after another, becoming a veritable paradise for exiles.

It's not that the Kingsley family didn't send a large army to wipe them out, but the geographical environment is too complicated, and most of them are in collusion with the local aboriginal crocodile tribe.

When the army was dispatched, they would defend as long as they could, but if they couldn't, they retreated into the swamp of despair.

Once the army withdraws, they will come back.

After tossing and tossing several times, the Kingsley family gave up.

No matter how rich the Kingsley family is, they can't stand such a toss. They can't send a large army to station for such a few pieces of land, right?

This will create an emptiness within the military leader, and once those miners get into trouble, it will shake the foundation of the Kingsley family's rule.

In the end, he could only choose to turn a blind eye to them, and become what they are now.

Geqi City still maintains the original rule mode, and the miners' union, the gang and the crocodile clan rule together.

However, no matter which one of these three is a general name to the outside world, the miners union is divided into the Liberal Party and the United Party, not to mention the more complicated gangs and crocodile clans, which are further divided into four or five forces. It's really a mixed bag, and it's commonplace to intrigue and fight with each other.

Fortunately, fighting back to fighting, both sides are more restrained and patient, fighting according to the rules they have established, and no one easily overturns the table.

The arrival of Grand Duke Buck's secret envoy has made the situation here even more complicated, and it is really stormy.

Getch City.

Pig and Whistle Hotel.

This hotel has not been established for a long time, less than five years.

But it is the most famous and largest hotel in Geqi City. Twenty-five hours a day, twenty hours are busy with people.

It was able to rise at such a fast speed not only because the owner of the hotel had good hands and eyes, maintained close contacts with the three major forces, handled things smoothly, and could not offend anyone.

Also because of the taste and variety of the food and drinks here, there is really nothing to say.

After eating here, I basically don't want to go to the second one.

Just like its name, when the whistle for dinner sounds, everyone will turn into pigs and come to the restaurant.

Many gluttonous diners don't take this kind of ridicule seriously, but are proud of it.

But what outsiders see is only one side of the hotel, it also has this unknown side - the lair set up by the leader of the Eternal Night Army, Hawkeye Special Qinke, in the Swamp of Despair.

It's not that the Hawkeyes of the Hawkeye Secret Service don't want to keep a low profile, but that in this era, frequent low-key contacts are even more eye-catching.

It's better to do the opposite, artificially create a flow of people, and the eagle eyes will mix in, so it won't be so conspicuous.

Among the many occupations, there is nothing more suitable than taverns and hotels.

As the saying goes, people depend on food.

This is needed no matter where, and the lethality of food is more universal.

Among the buzzing crowd of drinkers and diners, a slightly thin young man did not leave immediately after eating all his food. He wandered around, saw no one was paying attention, turned around and entered A secret passage.

He took a large black robe from the wall and put it on himself, covered his face, picked up the oil lamp next to him, walked through the dark passage for dozens of steps with ease, and stopped in front of a narrow door. Rhythmic tapping.

A pair of eyes flashed through the peep window, and a low voice came from behind the door: A secret signal.

It's raining today. The young man's voice was muddy and hoarse, and he knew it was a falsetto deliberately disguised.

The heavy iron-clad door opened silently, and a black-robed man dressed the same as the young man stood behind the door, unable to visually detect his figure and face, only a pair of equally piercing eyes were exposed outside.

The young man didn't enter the door right away, but instinctively glanced quickly to get a panoramic view of the situation inside, before he entered it leisurely just now, tense like a hunting cheetah.

Vigilance is the foundation of a Hawkeye's life. Don't trust anyone easily, including those who haven't identified themselves.

In the small basement, together with the person who opened the door, there were already seven people gathered. They were all dressed in the same way, all in black robes, and they were all sitting silently in every corner.

This is not the regular pattern of Hawkeye Secret Service, it is purely a compromise made by Geqi City according to local conditions.

The Hawkeyes of the Hawkeye Secret Service usually adopt a single-line connection. This kind of large-scale gathering is unique, because it is easy to be targeted by others, and then they will end up in a nest.

However, the forces in Geqi City are criss-crossed, and there are seven or eight famous forces in the platoon alone. The information is intertwined. If you want to maximize your benefits, mutual communication is a must.

Even if the Hawkeye Special Service Division has been expanded again and again, and Hawkeye is recruiting every year, but it is spread all over the place, and not one town can do it.

The fact that so many Eagle Eyes can be gathered in Geqi City has fully proved that the Eternal Night Army Leader attaches great importance to the strategic deployment of the Swamp of Despair.

And information is something, the less people pass it, the safer it is.

Keep your identity secret as much as possible while conducting comprehensive information exchange.

Then came the current pattern.

The disadvantage of doing this is that it is easy to provide opportunities for those who are interested in taking advantage of the opportunity to get involved.

The cautious Hawkeyes naturally developed a set of relatively rigorous verification methods, which are far from being as simple as a code. There are as many as five procedures to follow, and if one mistake is made, it will be taken down immediately.

The young man who had just entered the door successfully went through the process and confirmed the identities of the other people present before he let out a long sigh of relief, his tense body and nerves somewhat eased.

This kind of large-scale secret meeting is always loved and hated by people.

Of course, you can get more comprehensive information and instructions here, which is conducive to the smooth development of your work.

But every time he hangs his life on a thin thread, not to mention putting himself in it with a little carelessness, and even implicates his brother, causing the overall plan to be damaged.

Now they feel more deeply what the instructors said at the beginning, with the development and growth of their hometown, their situation will become more and more difficult.

At the beginning, the name of their hometown didn't change. At most, they were discriminated against because of the faces of the Andes people. They didn't think about espionage at all. It shouldn't be too easy for them to infiltrate.

Now that the reputation of the hometown has risen, the eyes of other people looking at them outsiders are obviously different. Those of them who have taken root have such a clear feeling, let alone the new Hawkeye who performs tasks with a fresh face. difficulty level.

Every time I think of this, I have to admire the general's foresight. After so many years, I have started to make arrangements, and I am a few steps ahead of others in everything, which is naturally a matter of course.
