Rise In Calradia - Chapter 388
“My lord, Sarand’s spies have returned. If there is no accident, they will report good news to us.”
Polcha bowed, and then humbly walked out with a few heavy 10 denar silver coins under Byron’s promise. During this time, this was the third time he had received such a generous reward. Along with those who ran for information, he received a generous reward from the Earl of Byron, which made them very satisfied.
“Will the Hakim Sultan believe it?” Fatis sat aside and asked Byron.
“Not necessarily, but he is more likely to believe it.” Byron picked up the glass and took a sip, but did not dare to drink too much, so as not to get drunk at this critical time. “After all, he doesn’t know that his spies and spies are all under our surveillance, not to mention that the drama we played is more realistic than Alma Jose’s troupe.” Byron replied with a smile. assistant.
In fact, this intelligence confrontation started long before Byron went to Sarand. At that time, they had already begun to secretly investigate the Sarandian spies in the territory, and looked for those who might be bribed. Monitor without attracting the other party’s attention. It’s not an easy thing to do if you’re not careful, but success is difficult. But Byron has the help of Assassin, who are also Sarandians. They know how to distinguish which Sarandian spies are from the details, and they also know how they act, so they can better find surveillance locations that are not noticed by the other party.
A classic example is a Salander spy. He is not only proficient in language and dialect, but also very familiar with the culture of Rhodok and Swadia, and has been active in the Rhodok area for a long time. They all believed his rhetoric, identified him as a Salander half-blood born in other parts of the Rhodok, treated this very Salander-looking man as a local and a good friend, and were happy to vouch for him . He also arranged for himself a suitable job, often going to the barracks to collect scraps and deliver supplies, so that the sentries of the barracks would not suspect him. But even so, Assassin’s assassins kept their eyes on him, because the things he paid attention to and the topics he inquired about in small talk didn’t really seem like what an ordinary person would care about. They watched him every day across from the man’s residence, and eventually found that he was at home or somewhere that could not be found at certain times of the day, and that was the prayer time of the Sarandite believers. The rest was simple, his spy status was confirmed and he was being watched.
Before Byron left for the expedition, Kress and Assassin’s deliberate assassins had basically mastered the situation of all Sarand’s spies, spies, scouts and bribed ghosts in the territory. Of course, this is also due to the skyrocketing influence in the local area after the Byron earthquake. People support him and are willing to report those strange people.
Kress originally planned to kill all these people, teach the Salanders a lesson, and make them blind, which Resarit and Rolf also agreed with very much, because in this way the enemy would not get With their detailed intelligence, they would have an advantage militarily.
But…. Byron doesn’t think so.
Gu Byron has his own way of thinking. In his opinion, after the Slave Uprising and the previous raids, Salander’s main force still exists. Facing an army of nearly 20,000 people, they are on the absolutely weak side. The main roads and terrain in the east were also figured out by the Sarandians in the long-term business exchanges. Even if they killed all Sarand’s spies, they couldn’t reverse the current disadvantage. After all, the distance between the two sides was too close, and there were three main roads to defend from Selun to Gamiqi. The defense facilities outside Mira are still a row of wooden fences built on the ruins, and Sultan Hakim will not waste a possible opportunity to stop this attack. So Byron changed his mind and began to make a fuss about intelligence work. Thanks to their positional control of these spies, a large number of soldiers and Assassin’s assassins began to accompany each other in acting.
The agents of Sarand went deep into the territory of Rhodok and reached around Fort Amira. The inspections they encountered along the way and the large number of patrols made them believe that they did rely on their own ability and luck to enter here. , rather than Byron’s intentional release of water.
After that, Byron started a large-scale and expensive disguise. In order to let these spies pass wrong information, Byron used a lot of manpower to build defense projects. During the process, the workers wore similar clothes and were in the presence of the spies. When the shift changes, the supplies delivered are several times normal, and many local people are also arranged to assist in the construction in other areas, which makes the construction of the city defense project seem to have used most of Amira’s manpower to force them to build. And a city wall that was not inferior to the previous one was quickly built, making those Sarande spies think they were making a lot of preparations to resist the invasion. But in fact, those city walls are genuine tofu dregs projects. Atiman made a bracket in the middle of the wall in advance at night, smeared it with mud, and placed stones the next day. It looks like that, but in reality There is no defense at all. Of course, not all of them. The construction sites of the city walls that the spies successfully “infiltrated” were real city walls that had been rushed to confuse them. To this end, Byron paid a lot of money to let the craftsmen work hard to complete the semi-finished product.
After that, Byron also increased the density and frequency of patrols, and put all the weapons and equipment they could find in the armory of the castle~www.mtlnovel.com~ and ensured that the outermost were all high-quality weapons and armor , creating the illusion of adequate armament. As for food and grass, in addition to putting the other party in trouble and fire prevention, Byron can indeed display a large amount of their food reserves. After all, Amira has sufficient accumulation during this period of time by rushing to harvest and trade.
After that, Byron began to spread the news that Earl Dilinard was going to send troops to support. Of course, those Salanders would definitely go to inquire, but they would soon find out that Earl Dilinard’s troops were indeed in the south. Positions appeared on a large scale, and they were obviously busy collecting forage and troops. Of course, these are actually the mercenaries of the Peony Corps. They wear the flag of Earl Dilinard and wear the same burqa. They run back and forth across the border of the territory. They run out during the day and then run back at night to change their equipment and clothes. One or two hundred people made the feeling of thousands of people. And the earl himself did send a small army to cooperate. He was willing to support Byron so that his territory would not be threatened, as long as he didn’t really send a large army out.
So, with this constant play and proper leaks, Sarand’s spies became more and more convinced they were facing a fortified fortress with a strong army and support, and relayed the news back to Sarand .
But there are exceptions to this, if anyone does go to places that Byron doesn’t want them to see, the assassins will kill him immediately, just like what happened to the sea buckthorn…
