As for Roy, Gudern still needed him now, so he found an excuse to get rid of him.

It was also at lunch time that Gudern could see Helisa and ask about the inscription in the morning.

"Well...after the last encounter and what happened last night, I strengthened the detection circle in the castle to avoid any accidents."

"But speaking of it, I didn't expect that the other party could actually plant inscriptions on ordinary people. Judging from the captured aura, it should be a mark type, and it should have a certain sense of perception."

"Perceptual ability?" Gudern was slightly confused.

"Hmm...Didn't Moss teach you his unique skill? Forget it, to put it simply, all the information that the implanted person can feel, such as vision, taste, hearing, and perception, can be fed back to On the caster’s side.”

"Of course, touch and pain can also be fed back when necessary, but generally there are three types of feedback: vision, hearing, and perception."

Gudern couldn't help but frowned at Helisa's explanation.

Isn't this a fucking tool monitor?

If that's the case, the shaman who planted the inscription behind his back already knew the destination of the three Roys and their meeting with him.

If he communicates with the Charleson family again, I am afraid that everything he has done will already be known to them.

Thinking of this, Gooden's mood became a little depressed. It's true that people are sitting at home, and disasters come from the sky, one after another...

At this time, in a deep cave in the Yongshuang Mountains a hundred miles away, Gejier and his party, who had escaped yesterday, had already arrived here to rest.

The huge cave vein is divided into several areas and is intricate. There are also thousands of humans and thousands of orcs living in it.

Everyone inside looked fully armed. The intense training and constant building of equipment created a huge contrast between the inside of the cave and the cold environment outside.

Then Andrew came and brought them news that shocked them.

"Andrew, are you sure there are extraordinary beings in Qingyuan Town?"

"Great Elder, the inscription I planted was clearly encountered by the opponent's counterattack formation after it got close to the castle. The aura was extremely frightening. It is definitely extraordinary. It may even have half a foot in the legend."

Listening to Andrew's words, everyone present couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Especially Gejir, his expression was somewhat enlightened after hearing the news.

No wonder Gudern, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, recovered overnight.

At that time, he thought that the other party's family did not care about him, but he did not expect that the existence of extraordinary beings had already been sent.

"Then...where are the secret guards who followed you?"

The Governor of Thousand Arms, who was sitting on top of the orcs, asked.

"The losses were heavy. Just after we caught the three escapees last night, the other party's rescue team arrived later."

"I originally asked the secret guards to deal with it, but they suffered heavy casualties soon after. When I was about to take action, the other party had a magic weapon that detects warnings. I was injured before I could take action..."

"The weapon used by the opponent is similar to the one used in the mountains and forests near the elemental veins before. It has strong penetrating ability and speed, and there is no time to dodge."

"And this weapon seems to be powered by magic. Fifteen of the twenty opponents are holding this kind of thing. It can emit light and has a range of at least two hundred steps."

Everyone couldn't help but fell into silence after hearing Andrew's information.

When Gudern was fighting near the elemental leylines before, in order to avoid encountering possible 'extraordinary' beings, they did not directly participate in the battlefield rashly.

Now seeing that the causes of death on both sides were almost the same, everyone became curious about this strange weapon.

However, when they think of Gudern equipping ordinary people with magic weapons and equipment, everyone can only lament Gudern's extravagant behavior.

Regarding the whereabouts of the hundreds of secret guards, the Governor of Qianjun just learned about it and did not ask any more questions.

Although this part of the loss was surprising, it is good that Andrew came back alive.

"Gegil, you have also seen the current situation. You want to organize people to attack Qingyuan Town..."

The Governor of Qianjun on the main seat looked at Gejir and shook his head lightly.

When Gejier arrived, he provided news about Qingyuan Town and exposed the speculation that he would be arrested. He proposed to attack Qingyuan Town to delay the development of Qingyuan Town.

As an old fox, how could the Governor of Qianjun not see that this was a revengeful move, but the development of Qingyuan Town was so fast that it had exceeded their expectations.

But now it seems that sending troops to harass is undoubtedly a suicide attack, a mission with no return.

"Lord Qianjun, I understand this. I will not make such a proposal again before the war."

"Um……"

Although the Governor of Qianjun looked down on this human lord's behavior, he was still very considerate in his work and had done his best to fill the material vacancies over the years.

When he proposed to harass Qingyuan Town, he also thought about it and did not directly refute it.

In the week following the sudden arrest, the upper echelons of the empire's northern governor also fell silent.

During this week, Gudern is also speeding up the arrangement of corresponding work and developing more burning templates.

At the same time, the takeover of Snow Valley Town is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

After the granary was burned down and the lord was captured, they were very optimistic about the future of Snow Valley Town.

Now, with the continuous development of the Qingyuan Lord taking over, and the recruitment of various policy benefits, more and more residents of Snow Valley Town are moving to Qingyuan Town.

Of course, Gudern does not intend to take them all away. After a hundred years of expansion, Snow Valley Town's fundamentals are several times better than Qingyuan Town.

If it can be officially taken over later, it would be good to develop it as a backup granary or a new industrial base.

In terms of population, from the original population of more than 5,000 to only more than 1,300 people left, Snow Valley Town has become particularly deserted at this moment.

On September 15th, the first trading time in the middle of this month has arrived.

The convoy from Jinyuan City also arrived at noon that day as scheduled.

Accompanying him were not only his old acquaintance Feroz, but also Colonel Kroger and Colonel Walsh.

Chapter 113 Recruiting Kroger, Empire Reward

Gooden knew the reason for Walsh's arrival, which was to inspect and understand the progress of manganese steel refining.

The arrival of Kroger, who had just left not long ago, surprised Gooden.

After being led to the living room, Gooden was a little confused by Kroger's words.

"Master Gudern, I have been relieved of all my duties and am now an ordinary person."

"What's going on? How could you be dismissed from your job if you're doing well?"

Gooden was still very surprised that Kroger was suddenly dismissed from his position.

Logically speaking, Kroger also made a lot of contributions to this action regarding the Charleson family.

Although there were some accidents at the end of the operation, it couldn't be blamed on Kroger?

Faced with Gudern's inquiry, Kroger smiled bitterly and slowly explained.

"This operation was originally a secret joint operation between the military and the Governor-General, but I, as a tax collector of the foreign affairs department, stepped in."

"Although there were evidence submitted and relevant materials proved, I was supposed to participate in this operation as a witness, but I didn't know that I became the person in charge of the accompanying..."

Kroger's explanation left Gooden dumbfounded. How could such an operation be possible?

There's no need to be so anxious to find a scapegoat for the higher-ups in the empire, right?

To find a person who had nothing to do with the incident, and who was also an honest official who was loyal to the empire, really made Gudern not know what to say.

"It is precisely for this reason that after returning to the Governor's Palace a few days ago, I was flagged as a suspected leaker of this operation and was dismissed on the spot pending review."

"Not only was I targeted, Superintendent Sterman was temporarily demoted for investigation, and Renas was suspended."

"Later, I contacted my teacher, and I was able to avoid jail, but I was completely out of luck for this official position."

Having said this, Kroger took a sip of tea with a slightly depressed expression to express his helplessness at the moment.

"I have heard about this matter, and I have also seen the situation at Kroger. The decision made by the upper management is indeed inappropriate, but, alas..."

Walsh, who was sitting next to him, shook his head with a little regret.

A team that captured a treasonous lord was intercepted and killed on the way back, and no one survived.

Although this matter has not spread among the people, it has spread among the military headquarters and the governor's palace in the northern territory.

If there is no explanation for this kind of tragedy, the person in charge will not be able to escape being held accountable.

In this way, the blame can only be passed on to the few people who survived to Qingyuan Town.

After looking at Kroger's panel entry, Gooden thought for a while and asked.

"Then what are your plans next? For example, find another job somewhere..."

For someone like Kroger, who has a reputation for impartiality and good professional skills, Gooden still wants to recruit him.

Qingyuan Town lacks talents. Although it has begun to train independently, the speed is still too slow.

If Kroger can be brought here, some of the people in charge of work in Qingyuan Town, Gudern can also be handed over to such upright people.

"There is no plan yet. I originally thought that the worst-case scenario would be to temporarily suspend my duties and then transfer to other places, but I didn't expect that I would be directly dismissed... Although this result is very unexpected for me, it makes sense when I think about it carefully. among.”

"Speaking of which, Master Gudern, do you still have a shortage of people in Qingyuan Town? I will come to your place to make a living and see if there is any suitable job for me."

Regarding his current experience, Kroger was still smiling and jokingly talking about it, and seemed not to take it to heart.

And Gooden was still thinking about how to extend an olive branch. As soon as Kroger said this, Gooden immediately spoke out.

"Okay, Qingyuan Town is developing too fast now, and there is a shortage of relevant personnel. I am still worried about how to solve it. If you really come, I will arrange for you to be the person in charge of the General Affairs Department of Qingyuan Town."

Kroger, who thought he would be rejected or ridiculed for playing away, was stunned on the spot after hearing Gooden's words.

"Master Gudern, are you kidding me again?"

Kroger still didn't believe what Gudern said.

After all, the current development of Qingyuan Town can be said to be at its peak. The population has increased to almost 5,000, and the size of the entire town is almost catching up with some small towns.

As for the actual person in charge of the General Affairs Department of Qingyuan Town, he is the number one person responsible for handling the government. He is the kind of person who cannot be held by anyone but a close confidant...

"Of course I'm not joking. I do lack people in this area. Those who have experience are all candidates from the imperial official side, but these people..."

Gudern shook his head as he spoke, and then continued sincerely.
