Chapter 1698 The Revenge of the Harpy
“Well...”
Mo Tan, who had just taken his seat, nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the 'Blood Feather Terrace' on the aerial view in front of him. He raised his hand and rubbed his chin: "I see, the harpy is coming to kill."
Mino on the other side was not so calm. In fact, after Shalia finished speaking, After those words, this young man, who had not slept for two nights and had not used up his energy for more than twenty hours, almost fell off the chair. His pretty but gloomy face was full of shock, and his eyes were staring at each other. Xiang Shalia's eyes almost popped out of her head, and she shouted in a tone that was almost like a scream: "What did you say!?"
"I said, the harpy is coming to kill."< br>
Sitting diagonally across from Mo Tan on the red high-backed chair that had been transported in at an unknown time, Shalia glanced at Mino with a frown, and then repeated what she had just said without saying a word more.
"My Lord..."
Mino, who was almost slumped in the chair, groaned in a low voice, then pursed his mouth into a horizontal line and subconsciously turned his gaze to The current backbone of Doumbouya City, Pastor Hei Fan, who apparently heard the news with him, but seemed extremely calm.
“You don’t seem surprised.”
Xia Liya also turned her beautiful cherry-pink eyes, focusing on the side of Mo Tan’s face, bending her index finger and gently After pushing the frame, he asked softly: "Did you expect this?"
"It's not like I had expected it, but I did assume this situation on the way here, so although it feels a bit sudden, it makes sense if you think about it carefully."
Mo Tan did not raise his head, but While continuing to study the map in front of him, he asked calmly: "Do you have more specific information?"
"Of course, I won't drag you here just to say 'Harpy' The banshee is coming."
The half-elf girl who looked like a high school student smiled, and then said in a clear and bright tone: "The source of this information is naturally still in play. The effective [Dumbuya City Agency], which is the intelligence that has been in my name since the beginning... or the intelligence organization, originally planned to 'integrate' it at the end, but now it seems that it did not take action earlier. It's really a smart move."
Mo Tan turned his head and looked at Shalia with a smile, "It's so obvious."
"Eh? Is it that obvious?"
Xia Liya winked playfully and showed a particularly innocent and sweet smile to Mo Tan: "I thought I was subtle enough."
"It doesn't matter, I'll explain it to you now."
Mo Tan crossed his hands about half a centimeter in front of the tip of his nose, as if smiling. He said with a smile: "At this stage, I allow you to temporarily exclude your intelligence organization [agencies] and logistics organization [Construction Corps] from the plan to reorganize the Doumbouya garrison system. Until the matter comes to an end, I hope They can all continue to perform their functions.”
“Yes, MyLord~”
Shalliya immediately saluted Mo Tan with a bright smile and said something in Elvish language.
“Young Master, I am not your monarch.”
Although his English level is not high, it is by no means bad. Mo Tan waved his hand helplessly, shook his head and said: " You should know that retaining these two structures for the time being is only a temporary measure. Since we plan to reorganize the entire garrison system of Doumbouya City, then even if it is meaningless, [organ] and [The Corps] must also be rebuilt. Of course, I can promise you in advance that their functions after reconstruction will not change much from before, and you will still be the top person in charge.”
This time, Shalia's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in astonishment: "You still want me to come?"
"Otherwise?"
Mo Tan glanced at her and asked curiously: "Do you have a better candidate? Or are you tired of doing it and want to concentrate on fishing for me as an adjutant?"
"It has nothing to do with it! ?”
Xia Liya twitched the corner of her mouth and said dryly: “Since you plan to make a name for yourself here, I thought you would at least...”
“At least how about that? ?"
Mo Tan smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows: "At least he will put the 'espionage' agency under his absolute control? Absolutely trustworthy? ”
Xia Liya nodded: "Yes, yes!"
"Are you tired..."
Mo Tan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, shook his head and said: "If you don't find it annoying, I still find it annoying."
Xia Liya's expression was suffocated. After a while, she shook her head with a wry smile and muttered: "What kind of thing is this?"
"Don't doubt people, don't doubt people you employ. .”
Mo Tan opened the second drawer on his right, took out a stack of information about a dozen pages of parchment, and said leisurely: "First of all, I think I can read people very accurately, so I rarely question them. It’s your own decision, and you, Ms. Shalia Ain, although you are a standard smart person, you are not the kind of smart person who likes to play tricks. In other words, I am willing to believe in your character, as long as That's all."
Xia Liya frowned, and after pondering for a few seconds, she shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Hei Fan, although your reason is good, it doesn't convince me."< br>
"I know, so what I said just now is just 'first'."
Mo Tan smiled, and then shook the pile of parchment in his hand that exuded the faint fragrance of ink. He said in a brisk tone: "In addition to this, another reason is that I have already seen all your information when I was in the City of Light. Whether it is public information that everyone can access, or it must be obtained by There is high-security information that can only be acquired through certain means, and these things tell me that you, who have kept the [agency] operating at full capacity over the years, and even spread the intelligence unit inside the Blood Barbarian at one time, are such an excellent person that it is hard to believe The talent you asked for, and this is also the core reason why I agreed to your wish to become an 'adjutant' before."
Xia Liya tapped her forehead, not showing too much surprise. In fact, she just lowered her head feebly and hummed in a dejected tone: "You really have great hands and eyes."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not such a capable person."
Mo Tan immediately distanced himself from the relationship and said quickly: "Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you feel offended, I suggest you Go find Fiyali Graham to settle the score.”
Xia. Liya smiled brightly and waved her hand very generously: "Forget it, forget it, people are willing to check me because they think highly of me, settling accounts and so on. I am a member of the knowledge sect, not a mentally retarded sect, so it won't be okay. I'm not happy for myself."
"What the hell. What..."
As a result, at this moment, Mino, who had been hesitant to speak since just now, finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Mo Tan and Shalia's 'homely conversation', his face turned blue. He said: "I mean you two, if I remember correctly, what we just said The question shouldn't be about the ownership of the [organisation], right? After so many detours, is it time to get back to the business?" Mo Tan nodded immediately and said seriously: "Don't worry, I think based on Yi Zuo's progress, this I should bring lunch soon.”
Mino's face turned even greener, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The serious thing I'm talking about is not lunch!"
"But I think you must eat something."
Mo Tan looked at him very seriously and said sternly: "Otherwise if you continue like this, you will die due to malnutrition before being killed by the blood barbarian. "I was summoned by the Lord in one step."
At this moment, as if promised, after the symbolic knocking on the door, the half-dragon female knight holding a four-layered lunch box came with a burst of energy. The fragrant wind that had both the scent of rice and body scent walked into the room and said to Mo Tan with a smile: "I'm back, senior."
"Welcome back."
Mo Tan raised his hand and scolded Fang Qiu: "Share the meal."
"Okay~"
Yizou nodded vigorously , and then placed four lunch boxes produced in the second cafeteria of Doumbouya City. Although they were not full of color and fragrance, they were absolutely nutritious and were placed in front of Motan, Mino, Shalia and himself, and then they moved quickly. A disposable tableware was placed in front of everyone.
“Eat.”
Mo Tanyan gave the order concisely, and after noticing that Mino's expression was still a little tangled, he added while holding the soup bowl: "Don't worry, I don't mean to despise the enemy, it's just...as I said just now "Although I can't say I expected it, I am not unprepared for the arrival of these uninvited guests."
Seeing that Mo Tan had already said this, Mino finally managed to calm down his emotions and nodded gently. After nodding, he devoured his food in a manner that looked half human and half ghost. In less than ten minutes, he destroyed 90% of the lunch for two people in front of him. He was obviously really hungry.
Shalia, on the other hand, ate in a very elegant manner and with extreme efficiency. She finished her meal just a little slower than Mino, and then went to the cupboard on the other side of the room to have a drink. Tea.
As for Yi Zou, maybe because she didn’t want to put pressure on her senior, she kept matching Mo Tan’s eating pace and ate slowly for twenty minutes before she put down her knife and fork at the same time as the latter, and then moved. She quickly cleared the table. Although she was wearing a knight's armor, her movements were as capable as a well-trained professional maid.
“Thank you.”
After eating and drinking, Mo Tan smiled and took the black tea from Xia Liya, and said with a smile: "But if possible, I would like to have a cup of coffee with sugar and milk after the meal."
Xia Liya nodded slightly and said without changing her expression: "Then I hope your wishes will come true."
“Haha, I’m not kidding.”
Seeing that Mino’s face started to turn blue again, Mo Tan casually changed the topic and directly ordered Shalia: “Tell me Do you have any specific information about the harpy?"
"Okay."
Xia Liya did not show off, and immediately reported the truth: "To be more specific, according to reports from people lurking in the Blood Feather Terrace [organ], just last night, an elite group of about a thousand people directly under the Queen's command came from the Heading south from the [Eagle Claw Mountain] in the northern part of the Blood Feather Mesa, passing through the Gray White Plains and the eastern part of the Broken Head Cliff, the target is directly towards our city of Dubua. If nothing goes wrong, we should arrive before sunset today.”
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said in a calm tone: "Sorry, I have been thinking about matters related to Skolke and the garrison's reorganization in the past two days, and I didn't take time to read the [Agency] report about the Blood Feather Platform. "Xia Liya, just tell me briefly."
"Okay, Your Excellency."
Xia Liya smiled at Mo Tan without thinking. He said: "As for the Blood Feather Terrace, until not long ago, the location was in a state of chaos due to the death of Queen Laceration. In addition, several other blood barbarian forces led by Guillotine took advantage of the situation. The overall strength is now only that of the previous heyday. Two-thirds of them, but just a few days ago, the civil war there finally ended. According to reliable intelligence, they not only elected a new queen, but also summoned envoys from other parties as quickly as possible to witness the ceremony. "The enthronement ceremony."
Mo Tan nodded and asked casually: "In other words, I came at the right time this time, just at the delicate time when the blood barbarian civil strife ended, right. Right? ”
"From an objective point of view, it is like this."
Shalia shrugged and said truthfully: "To tell you the truth, Archbishop Jost announced that a young man from the Dawn Sect will come The day I took over Dubuya City happened to be the day when the news that the Blood Feather Mesa had just elected a new king came to me, so my first reaction at that time was... some poor victim was going to die. "
"What you didn't expect is that this is really a complete coincidence."
Mo Tan smacked his lips and chuckled: "After all, no victim can have two. His Royal Highness the Holy Son was buried in such a luxurious way. Okay, let’s move on to the Blood Feather Terrace. Where did the new queen come from?”
Xia Liya blinked and shrugged: “Again. The origin of Vulgar is similar to what I expected before. The new queen is one of the leaders of several major camps within the Blood Feather Terrace, and she is also the most evil, cruel, and cunning one. Her name is Celine Black Mu, was once the guard captain of the previous [Queen of Lacerations] and the current [Queen of Death Claws]. She has successfully integrated several tribes that were previously fragmented in the civil war and established her own 'Death Claw Guards'. ’, the harpies who came to attack this time are probably the key members of this force.”
"That is to say..."
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Their purpose is nothing more than 'revenge' and 'rights of name', right?"
"Obviously , if there is anyone who should break the deadlock and launch an attack on the Holy Religion on behalf of the Blood Barbarians, then the most legitimate one The only one who can obey is the Blood Feather Terrace. After all, everything started from that sharp attack by Knight Commander Harrington and His Highness Black."
"I can say that I don't like to wipe others. Butt?”
“You can say it, but you have no choice, Your Excellency.”
"Well, it's not all bad anyway. If they are willing to take the initiative to cause trouble, it will save me the trouble of taking people out to run around, Yi Zhao."
"Yes."
" Please go call His Royal Highness Philip and Mr. Raymond and tell them to gather in the third conference room in twenty minutes to prepare for the feast."
"Yes——"
