Heart of Empire Chapter 251: Big action
Verina paced in the office: "Let's sort out our current thoughts. The intelligence personnel of Malone Manor said that they will have a big move in the near future. The plan is unknown, the target is unknown, and the time is unknown, but Malone's enemies in the surrounding area, It's just us. So, this action was against us, no one else, right? Then, our intelligence personnel in Shawan Harbor were all wiped out on the same day, maybe they knew something, maybe No, but obviously, people don't want any mistakes."
"They chose to kill people without covering up the body and hiding the news, which proves that they are eager. Well, I guess Malone has a plan to launch against us, and it will be launched in a very short time in the near future. Do you agree? ?”
Palan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I agree."
"Just agree." Verina nodded, and then immediately issued an order: "Order all the intelligence personnel we can still use in Shawan Port and Marlon Manor to use, and keep a close eye on Marlon's forces. Every move, once there is news, it will be passed on immediately."
"Order the three brigades in Shawan Harbor to gather immediately, fully armed, and ready to stand by at any time."
"Order the soldiers of the regiment we stationed outside Shawan Harbor to enter the city immediately. If the entry is hindered, I authorize the captain of the Hypia regiment to handle it with full authority. No matter what method is used, they must come in."
"Order the Garrison Corps in Rotten Wolf Town to provide immediate support except for the necessary personnel left behind."
"Order the courier to send a letter to White Wolf Castle. The courier must be divided into three waves and take different routes. It is extremely necessary to write all the information that happened here and our next response into a letter and send it to Lord Dane and request Lord Dane to keep an eye on the situation in Shawan Port at any time, and be ready to support at any time."
A series of orders were sent out, and Palan wrote them down one by one, and then said: "Okay, Legion Commander, I will implement these orders immediately."
"Yeah." Verina nodded, then picked up her cloak from the hanger next to her and tied it on, saying, "Go and deliver the order immediately, and then go find me at the military barracks of the security department."
"Yes!" Palan saluted, turned around and trotted away. Verina followed closely behind, walking in the other direction.
Not far behind her office is the guard barracks.
There are two forces in the Shawan Port, one port guard and one garrison battalion. The former has always been in the hands of Ma Long, while the latter originally belonged to Moreno, and now it is logical that Verina has taken over.
Originally, the garrison battalion had only about 300 people in a brigade—of course, Emre, who was in charge of the garrison battalion at the time, thought that such a manpower was too small, so he recruited more than 100 people. However, now when Verina accepts, she is more exaggerated than Emre. She directly expanded the camp by three times on the basis of the original guard camp, and pulled her garrison army into thousands of people, directly into the guard camp.
This move was originally met with a rebound from Ma Long. He accused Dane of overstaffing and expanding the guard to make trouble out of nothing. But he was quickly rebuked by Dane with the Devil's Gate incident, and at the same time directly threatened Malone with war, which made the guy have to compromise. We can only send more people to the port guard.
But he is not as rich as Dane, and he is not as generous as he is willing to spend money. He is unwilling to recruit soldiers again, but he just mobilizes part of the force from his Malone Manor, so that the port guards will be filled to six or seven. Hundreds of people have reached the limit. There is a certain gap between the forces deployed by the two sides in Shawan Port, which is the fundamental reason why Bay Port is slowly being eroded by Verina.
It's just that, although Verina holds a garrison army of nearly a thousand soldiers in the city, it still seems a bit insufficient to deal with Ma Long's upcoming so-called "big move". Fortunately, in addition to the 1,000 people in the city, on the outskirts of Shawan Port, there is also a temporary barracks where soldiers from three brigades led by the first regiment captain of the Garrison Army are stationed on standby. The appearance of thousands of people. With the combined strength of the two, even if it is not easy to withstand Ma Long's "big action" for a while, it should not be a big problem if it lasts for a day or two.
At that time, the female paladin absolutely believed that with Dane's ability, she would definitely be able to react.
While thinking in her heart, Verina walked towards the security barracks behind the office building. Soon, she saw the gate to the barracks from the back door of the office building.
The order had already been conveyed first, and the entire barracks became in a hurry, and one by one soldiers began to gather urgently under the shouts of the officers. Although the soldiers didn't know what happened, after three months of training from Verina, these soldiers were more or less disciplined.
This still makes Verina feel very gratified. With such a force, even if she can't beat Ma Long, it shouldn't be a problem to support it for a while. After the tension in her heart eased a little, she moved towards the aisle of the office building leading to the central training ground of the barracks. The two guards on guard smiled and nodded, then walked over, intending to enter the In the training ground, wait for the guard battalion to assemble.
Just as she passed between the two guards, Verina suddenly felt a chill in her heart—she suddenly sensed something very wrong.
Why didn't I seem to have seen these two guards guarding the aisle?
There are about a thousand people in the guard battalion, and it is impossible for Verina to remember everyone clearly~IndoMTL.com~ But she is not an ordinary person after all, even if she cannot understand her subordinates clearly and deeply, at least she can see them It will be a little familiar, but there is always no problem.
However, she felt completely unfamiliar with the faces of the two guards guarding the gate.
A sense of vigilance rose in her heart, and she suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from both sides, with a strong killing intent!
It's an assassin!
There was horror and annoyance in her heart, not to mention the horror, but the annoyance was the annoyance that she hadn't been able to react earlier and earlier at this time.
At this moment, it was too late to draw out the knight's sword at her waist, Verina could only hastily activate the two holy knight's protective powers, forming two golden light shields on both sides of her body.
However, how could this hastily formed protective force be able to withstand the assassination of two long-planned assassins?
The light shield will be broken in an instant! (To be continued.):
