Chapter 52: Unacceptable
Matthew nodded.
He believed Zeller.
"If the three major organizations only mentioned the time of their attack in their letters, then where did you get the detailed data on their number of members, their position structure, and their estimated strength?” Matthew pointed at the rows of numbers on the report.
"That was the work of divination and scouts.”
Zeller explained,
” There have traces of any unusual movements. Actually, before I received the letter, I had already sent scouts to the surrounding cities to collect information. At that time, I found some clues. It is impossible for such a large number of people to move quietly. They need food, accommodation, and equipment.”
Matthew looked at him curiously.” How did you think of sending people to other cities to investigate?”
Zeller explained patiently,
“For that, I have to mention the case of the mole that I was commissioned by Rheagar to investigate. ”
Matthew became more energetic.
"Have you found the mole?”
Zeller said with certainty, ‘Vic. Balmer, also known as Little Balmer, was the son of Balmer Senior, one of the nine Imights who had fought together with Lord Rhaegar in Purgatory.
"Little Balmer was the same age as Sif, and he looked like a simple and honest little fatty. He had followed Sif’s footsteps since he was young and considered himself her follower, so they had a good relationship.
"When he grew up, his father took him to the manor in the west for training, so he had less contact with Sif.
"This spring, he suddenly wrote a letter to Sif inviting her to the countryside.
"On the way, something happened to Sif.
"This guy or the mastermind behind him is very cunning, give me set up many errors to trace.
"By the time I truly locked onto him, half a month had already passed. When I went to Palmer Senior’s manor, I could only regretfully say that there was no one alive in the entire manor.
"The original farmers, maids, gardeners, chefs, and even the entire family, including Palmer Senior, had all become bizarre creations.
"My men had no choice but to clean up the manor. I found some Evil Art Master’s manuscripts in Little Balmer’s bedroom, and I can basically confirm that he was the culprit.
"To be honest, I held Little Balmer when he was born.
"His honest appearance was too deceptive.
"No one expected him to come into contact with evil arts, and the first thing he did after becoming an evil art master was to refine his father into a bizarre creation!
"I heard that Balmer Senior was very strict when he trained his son.
"Perhaps Little Balmer’s hatred came from this.
"But no matter what, he is still a menace.
"Unfortunately, he had escaped.
"While my men were searching for Little Balmer, they accidentally learned that an evil organization was recruiting soldiers in Jiliu City. After my divination confirmed this information, it became more comprehensive. Of course, the value of this information was quickly reduced because they directly issued a challenge.”
Zeller calmly told him the ins and outs of the matter.
Finally.
He added seriously, “Palmer Senior was a very good person, loyal and brave. It’s just that he’s a bit too old. Rhaegar and I have neglected him. If we had paid more attention to his recent situation, he might not have been harmed by his
Matthew was also angry.
“So, not only is that little Balmer still alive, but he might even return to Rolling Stone Town when the three major organizations take action?”
Zeller nodded slightly.
” Theoretically, that’s possible. Perhaps he was the one who lured the Order of Calamity here in the first place, or perhaps he was just the most suitable breakthrough point the Order found in Rolling Stone Town.
"However, all of this did not matter.
"The important thing is how should we deal with it?
"Before I share my plan.
"I need your opinion.”
Matthew thought for a few minutes and replied,
‘ Since the three organizations have sent their letters of challenge separately, it means that they are not united internally. The best strategy is to divide them and defeat them one by one.
"The Withering Order has the most concentrated target, so we just have to make a fuss around the oak forest to lure them into taking the bait.
"Weren’t there still two arsonists in the Silver Frost Brotherhood in prison? We just need to find the right time to let them escape successfully. After they escape, there is a high chance that they will go to the organization. We’ll only need to follow them.
"I don’t have any idea about the Order of Calamity. The fact that they dared to come to me after Fein’s death proved that they have the ability to fight against bone dragons. The evil priest’s methods are evil and impossible to guard against. However, there is one thing worth noting. They were very concerned about the bloodline of the Suki family, so Sif and Rheagar are the key characters. They could also be used as bait to lure the snake out of its hole, but doing so would be risky.”
Zeller showed a look of approval after hearing this.
‘ Your reactions and ideas are top-notch. Most of your ideas are in line with my plan in the ‘second stage’.” Matthew was a little surprised.
"Second stage?”
“Yes, we will do what you said, but not now.” freew ebnove l.com
Zeller explained,
"At this stage, the people from the three major organizations are probably infiltrating in batches. They must be extremely vigilant at this moment and won’t be easily lured in.
"Evil forces were gathering in Rolling Stone Town.
"But at the same time.
"Our saviour is also on the road.
"Only three of the nine knights who fought in Purgatory remained in Rolling Stone Town. One of them died, one retired, and only one who could fight was left. The rest went out for adventures.
"We have already written to them for help. As long as these people receive the letter, they will definitely return..”
