Quadruple split

"Um……"

Mo Tan, who had just taken his seat, nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the 'Blood Feather Terrace' on the bird's-eye 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 said what she just said, this young man who had not slept for two nights and had not exhausted his energy for more than 20 hours almost left the room directly. The chair fell, and a pretty but gloomy face was full of horror. The two eyes staring at Shalia almost didn't pop out, and he said loudly in a tone that was close to a scream: "What did you say! ?”

"I said, the harpy is coming."

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 is above..."

Mino, who was almost slumped on the chair, groaned in a low voice, then pursed his lips into a horizontal line, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the current backbone of Doumbouya City. He had obviously heard the news with him, but it seemed that But Pastor Hei Fan is exceptionally calm.

"You don't seem surprised."

Xia Liya also turned her beautiful cherry-pink eyes, focusing on Mo Tan's side face. She raised her index finger and pushed the frame gently and 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 I think about it carefully."

Mo Tan did not raise his head, but continued to study the map in front of him with his eyes lowered while asking calmly: "Is there any more specific information?"

"Of course, I won't drag you here just to say, 'The harpy is coming to kill'."

The half-elf girl who looked to be about the age of a high school student smiled, and then said in a clear and bright tone: "The source of this information is naturally the [Dumbuya City Agency] that is still in effect, that is, from the past The intelligence that has been in my name since the beginning... or rather the intelligence organization, was originally planned to be 'integrated' at the end, but now it seems that it was a wise move not to take action earlier."

Mo Tan turned his head to look at Xia Liya in amusement, and said with a smile: "It's too obvious."

"Eh? Is it that obvious?"

Shalia 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 and said with a half-smile: "At this stage, I allow you to temporarily reorganize the intelligence organization [agencies] and the logistics organization [Construction Corps] under your command. They have been excluded from the planning of the garrison system, and until the matter comes to an end, I hope that they will continue to perform their functions."

"Yes, My Lord~"

Shalliya immediately saluted Mo Tan with a bright smile and said something in Elvish language.

"Come on, I'm not your king."

Although his English level is not high, it is by no means bad. Mo Tan waved his hands helplessly, shook his head and said: "You should know that retaining these two organizations for the time being is only a temporary measure. Since we plan to reorganize the entire Dunbu Ya City's garrison system, then even if it is meaningless, [organs] and [corps] must be rebuilt. Of course, I can promise you in advance that their functions after reconstruction will basically not change much from before, and they will still be You will be the top person in charge."

This time, Shallya's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in astonishment: "You still want me to come?"

"if not?"

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 this, does it!?"

Shalia 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..."

"How about at least?"

Mo Tan smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows and said, "At least he will bring the 'espionage' agency under his absolute control? Even if he doesn't control it himself, he still has to let his absolute confidants like Yi Zuo take care of it?"

Shalia nodded: "Yes, yes!"

"Are you tired..."

Mo Tan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, shook his head and said, "You're not annoyed, but I am."

Shalia's expression was suffocated. After a while, she shook her head with a wry smile and muttered: "What the hell is this?"

"Don't doubt people who are suspicious of you, don't doubt those who are employed."

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.”

Shalia frowned slightly, 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 cannot convince me."

"I know, so what I said just now is just 'first'."

Mo Tan smiled, then shook the pile of parchment in his hand that exuded the faint scent of ink, and said in a brisk tone: "The other reason is that I had already seen it when I was in the City of Light. All your information, whether it is public information that everyone can access, or high-confidential intelligence that must be obtained through some means, and these things tell me that the [Agency] has been full of satisfaction over the years. You have been operating at full capacity and even deployed intelligence units inside the Blood Barbarian. You are a talent that is so good that it is difficult to put a price on it, and this is also the core reason why I agreed to your wish to become an 'adjutant' before."

Shalia 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 own owner, and every debt has its own owner. If you feel offended, I suggest you go to Fairlee Graham to settle the score."

Shalia smiled brightly, waved her hand very generously and said: "Forget it, people are willing to check me because they think highly of me, settling accounts or something like that. I am a member of the knowledge sect, not a mentally retarded sect, so it's not like that. It’s okay to make yourself miserable.”

"Then what..."

As a result, at this moment, Mino, who had been hesitant to speak since just now, finally couldn't bear it anymore, interrupted Mo Tan and Shalia's 'homely conversation', and said with a slightly blue face: "I tell you two, if If I remember correctly, the topic we just discussed was not about the ownership of the [agency], 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 with Yi Xuan's footsteps, I should be able to bring lunch here 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 have to eat something."

Mo Tan looked at him very seriously and said sternly: "Otherwise if you continue like this, you will be summoned by the Lord due to malnutrition before being killed by the blood barbarian."

At this moment, as if agreed upon, after a symbolic knock on the door, the half-dragon female knight holding a four-layered lunch box walked in with a scent of both rice and body fragrance. Inside the room, he said to Mo Tan with a smile: "I'm back, senior."

"Welcome back."

Mo Tan raised his hand and scolded Fang Qiu: "Share the food."

"Okay~"

Yi Zou 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 definitely nutritious enough and placed them in front of Mo Tan, Mino, Shalia and herself. , and then quickly placed a piece of disposable tableware 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 it cannot be said that I had expected it, but I was not unprepared for the arrival of these uninvited guests."

Seeing that Mo Tan had reached this point, Minuo finally managed to calm down his emotions. He nodded slightly and then devoured his food in a manner that was three parts human and seven parts ghost. It only took ten minutes. In no time, he destroyed 90% of the lunch for two people in front of him. He was obviously really hungry.

Shalia, on the other hand, ate with a very elegant posture and extreme efficiency. She finished her meal just a little slower than Mino, and then went to make tea in front of the cupboard on the other side of the room.

As for Yi Zou, maybe because she didn't want to put pressure on her senior, she kept matching Mo Tan's eating pace. She ate slowly for twenty minutes before she and the latter put down the knife and fork at the same time, and then quickly cleared the table. Although she was wearing knight armor, her movements were as capable as a well-trained professional maid.

"Thanks."

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."

Shalia nodded slightly and said without changing her expression: "Then I hope your wishes will come true."

"Haha, no joke."

Seeing that Mino's face began to turn blue again, Mo Tan casually changed the topic and directly ordered Shalia: "Tell me the specific information about the harpy."

"good."

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 else happens, 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 Terrace. , Shalia, please give me a brief description."

"Okay, Your Excellency."

Shalliya smiled at Mo Tan very hypocritically, and then said without thinking: "As for the Blood Feather Terrace, until not long ago, the position was still in a state of chaos due to the death of the Lacerated Queen, coupled with the decapitation. Several other blood barbarian forces led by Ya took advantage of the situation, and their overall strength is now only two-thirds of its previous heyday. But just a few days ago, the civil war there finally ended. According to reliable intelligence, they not only elected a new The Queen, and also summoned envoys from several other parties as quickly as possible to witness 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?"

"From an objective perspective, that's true."

Shalia shrugged and said truthfully: "To tell you the truth, the day Archbishop Jost announced that a young man from the Dawn Sect would come to take over the city of Dumbua happened to be the day when the Blood Feather Mesa had just elected a new king. The day this news came to me, my first reaction was that...some poor victim was going to die."

"What you don't expect is that it's a complete coincidence."

Mo Tan smacked his lips and chuckled: "After all, no victim can be buried with such luxury as the two Holy Sons. Okay, let's talk about the Blood Feather Terrace. Where did the new queen come from?"

Shalia blinked, shrugged and said: "The most vulgar origin 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 cruel. The cunning one, her name is Celine Blackwood. She was once the captain of the guard of the previous [Queen of Lacerations] and the current [Queen of Deathclaw]. She has successfully integrated several people who were previously divided in the civil war. The tribe has also established its own 'Death Claw Guards', and the harpies who came to attack this time are probably the backbone 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 Church on behalf of the Blood Barbarians, then the most justifiable one can only be the Blood Feather Terrace. After all, the cause of everything is the relationship between Knight Commander Harrington and His Highness Black. A sharp attack."

"Can I say that I don't like wiping other people's butts?"

"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."

"exist."

"Please go call His Highness Philip and Mr. Raymond and tell them to meet in the third conference room in twenty minutes to prepare for the meat feast."

"yes--"
