Doomsday Code

Chapter 837 Intelligence 2

In the North City Lord's Mansion, the apparent owner is still Duolong, but the person in charge is actually Bourne, who he said saved him from death last time.

"Lord Duolong, we have been working together for more than a year, almost two years."

Bourne smiled and looked at Doron.

At this moment, Duolong no longer had the arrogance of a city lord, nor did he have the fear he had when he saw Bourne before. He just nodded calmly and said:

"Yes, it has been almost two years in the blink of an eye. I have experienced a lot and grown a lot in these two years.

Actually, now that I think about what I did before, in your terms, I was an out-and-out reactionary."

And Bourne laughed and said:

"I can't say that about you now. You are also our comrade now. You have also gone through trials and transformations, and have gone from being a former landowner to a respected city lord."

A lot of things happened in North City over the past one or two years.

When clearing out the old landlords and aristocrats in the north city, Duolong changed from resistance to cooperation, and finally even actively participated in the liberation of serfs in the north city.

Perhaps at the beginning Duolong still had the idea of ​​speculation and wanting to save his life, but under the long-term influence of new progressive ideas and the support of the real people for the new policies, his thinking has also undergone tremendous changes.

At the same time, it is also because of his active cooperation that North City can be as stable as it is today.

"Bourne, I don't expect anything from you. I just hope that by doing this, I can make up for the harm I have caused to my parents, my family, and the people."

Duolong sighed heavily.

Bourne patted Doron on the shoulder. He knew that this period of time was the most difficult time for Doron mentally. After all, when a person's perspective on things changes, the subverted three views will make it difficult for him to accept the wrong things he has done.

"Rest well. We all need to move forward. No one can dwell on the pain of the past. I believe the people will no longer hate you."

When Bourne stood up and was about to go out, there was a knock on the door, and then a servant came in with a piece of information.

"City Lord, this is the latest intelligence from the Northern Wasteland Province. Our secret spy plan has failed. Rusov should have obtained all the intelligence provided by the secret spy."

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for both Doron and Bourne.

As early as after occupying the North City, Bourne and his men realized that Rusov, the leader of the Northern Wilderness Guild, would be their future enemy.

So Bourne and his team launched the intelligence plan very early on.

Many spies were sent to the entire Beihuang Province.

This secret espionage operation was also an operation they set up after realizing that the Grand Duke of Beihuang had signs of mobilizing a large army.

The purpose is to infiltrate the Northern Wilderness Grand Duke Rusov and then obtain intelligence on his military operations.

But I didn’t expect that the plan would fail just as it began.

Moreover, the failure of their plan undoubtedly helped Rusov in disguise.

"Have you reported this to His Majesty? I planned the operation and I bear full responsibility."

Bourne said with a heavy expression.

"It has been sent to His Majesty, and the task force has already begun its own investigation, but the hope is slim."

The attendant reported.

Bourne nodded and said:

"If the results of the self-examination come out, tell me."

The attendant nodded and stepped back.

At this time, Duolong's face was slightly gloomy.

"I didn't expect that old fellow Rusov to be so cunning. You don't have to worry too much. This plan is a risky one. The intelligence we provided didn't even touch upon the fundamentals.

My only regret is for the murdered spy. If possible, please convey my condolences to his family."

Bourne nodded and said:

“I’ll pass it on.

I'm afraid I have to go back for this matter. I'll leave all the government affairs of North City to you. Don't worry, if Rusov really attacks, we are confident that we can defeat him."

Duolong also nodded and said:

"If you need anything, just tell me. I can mobilize the people of North City. I'm sure no one wants that old man Rusov to win."

Bourne smiled and said:

"Don't be so pessimistic. Besides, the military and the government are two different paths. If you really have to mobilize the people from the beginning, then Dean and his First Army would have been formed in vain."

"Don't worry, the people of North City will still be open for business, and Rusov and his men will never set foot in North City."

Bourne shook hands with Doron, then left North City and went back to report to Chen Cheng.

After Bourne left, Doron immediately summoned government officials from all over. He did not directly say that he wanted to go to war, but instead asked people to take inventory of the current treasury reserves. He also did some ideological work to mobilize the masses.

It can be said that the old aristocratic habits of the past are almost nonexistent in the current Duolong. He is more like a high-ranking government official of the new era.

When Bourne returned to the desert town, the First Army stationed there for training had already shown signs of being ready for battle.

Seeing Bourne coming back, Dean, who was about to go to a military meeting, waved to him.

"I'm glad you're back. A military meeting is about to begin. Come in and listen."

Walking into the former mayor's office, it has now been transformed into the temporary training headquarters of the First Army.

Chen Cheng, who was presiding over the meeting, saw that most people had arrived, and then nodded to an ordinary-looking middle-aged man next to him.

"Commanders, I am Merton, the Director of the Military Intelligence Department. I will be sharing with you the intelligence regarding our base's greatest enemy, Grand Duke Rusov."

"Please, officers, open the briefcases before you."

When Dean and the others opened it, they could see a thick stack of complete information about Rusov, his subordinates, and his confidants.

And all of this information has detailed sources.

"This contains all the information about Rusov and his forces. He is..."

Then Merton began to tell everyone about Rusov.

It can be said that with Murdon's explanation, Dean and others became familiar with Rusov's life growth experience.

Rusov, who was still deploying his troops at the time, would never have thought that the enemy he was about to face was someone who cared more about intelligence than he did, and that he and his men had been thoroughly investigated for the incident of peeping at a widow taking a bath when they were teenagers.

After listening to Merdon's explanation, Dean and all the officers and generals present had extremely solemn expressions on their faces.

Because according to intelligence, Rusov is not the brainless and rude man as rumored by the outside world. On the contrary, he is an extremely shrewd person who knows how to judge the situation and use his own advantages to seek the greatest benefits for himself in all major political events in the Kingdom of Ferdow.

And it is precisely this kind of opponent that Dean and the others fear the most.
