Chapter Thirty-Four: Arrangements

  The twenty-point experience is enough to illustrate the strength of this tax officer, and compared with a true knight, it will not be much different, maybe just one 'baptism' away.

  And this is also the reason why Dean chose to end his life in such a way.

  It's obvious that if they were to engage in a direct confrontation, even if the opponent was only physically strong without too much skill, at his current level, it would still require a considerable amount of effort. Once the spy chief in the distance is alerted, all plans will be ruined.

  But something once again put Dean on his guard ——

  "With a strong body, but without corresponding experience and skills, just one careless sneak attack was enough to lose his life... Dean looked at the tax officer's corpse, thinking silently to himself, and once again took it as a warning - he absolutely did not want to go through everything in his memories again."

  That kind of helplessness and suffocation, just once is enough.

  Therefore, he must gain progress in technique while his body becomes stronger.

  What about experience?

  Everything in memory is enough for Deen to maintain a considerable advantage now.

  Wow!

  He let out a long breath and Dean quickly adjusted his mindset - now that another major obstacle to taking over the Knights had been cleared.

  What's left will be completed smoothly as long as nothing unexpected happens.

  Of course, I still need the help of that spy chief.

  No sooner had he made contact with the spy chief than the man became a member of Dean's team - if not, Dean would have killed him to keep it confidential.

  Only the dead can keep secrets!

  Dean believed this sentence very much.

  But now——

  "Snow Pine No. 1!!"

  With a faint cry of pain, it appeared like this.

  "What's going on?! Sir?! SIR?!"

  The spy chief appeared quickly in front of Dean, but at the moment he saw Dean, this spy chief was stunned - although there was a palm cover, the fresh blood that seeped out from between his fingers and the scratches on his clothes all proved that this big man had suffered no minor injuries.

  On the other hand, Mold brought by him was lying on the ground with his face up, a dagger inserted between his waist and abdomen, and he had already stopped breathing.

  Of course, even if there is still breath left, it's already hopeless.

  The kidneys were thoroughly destroyed, even if the priest of the gods came, he could only pray for 'the rest of the dead'.

  But these are not important for this spy chief!

  What's important is what actually happened!

  "He, he attacked me! He is... He is..."

  Deane spoke intermittently, and later it seemed that due to the pain, he couldn't even say a complete sentence. However, Deane's intentionally spoken words, with strong suggestive qualities yet fragmented, were enough to let the spy chief in front of him automatically fill in the blanks.

  Undoubtedly, spies are the most suspicious and ghostly group of people.

  Especially when internal disputes arise, they will absolutely not believe anyone other than themselves.

  The spy chief in front of Dean was no exception.

  Could it be... 'Silver Hawk' has made a move?!

  Almost at the same time, this spy chief thought of the ruler of Wobang County.

  At that moment, Dean, who had been staring at the other's expression all along, instantly grasped the other's worried and apprehensive look, and said: "Hang this corpse outside Thiel Town, I want to tell him that I'm not so easily defeated! Afterwards...I'll disappear for a while, and before I contact you on my own initiative, don't look for me!"

  From start to finish, Dean never explicitly stated who 'he' was.

  This was, of course, Dean's intention, because he wasn't sure who would take action against his "high spy" identity - at the beginning, due to Siti's sudden attack, not only did the Emerald Kingdom fall into a difficult situation, but also High Sai, almost all of which were destroyed overnight, including the spy network.

  So even Dean with precognitive memory doesn't know who it is.

  However, this did not prevent Dean from using existing intelligence to give some vague indications.

  In these ambiguous instructions, Dean naturally took the absolute initiative. When asked, he could even say that Baron Teer planned everything and just wanted to make a good impression on his opponent.

  It is reasonable to say so with Mold's identity.

  "Yes, sir!"

  The spy chief didn't investigate Dean's words any further, he had already thoroughly understood the entire process, and all of this was planned by that big shot from Wobang County. The big shot in front of him was definitely not willing to sit back and wait for death. So, the spy chief almost immediately nodded his head, took the tax officer's body, and quickly disappeared - in fact, looking at Dean who had blood flowing all over his abdomen, he didn't want to stay for a moment.

  He had already decided not to get involved in the dispute between the two big shots.

  So now he absolutely cannot stay for long. If the big shot in front of him asks for help, he will undoubtedly fall into a dilemma.

  Helping is offending Wobang County's 'Silver Crane'!

  Not helping is one thing, but this is directly offending the person in front of you!

  No one can be certain whether the person in front of him has a direct channel to face Gao Sai, and if so, just a few words would be enough to make him die without a burial. After all, he is not a big shot like "Silver Hoof" - although he looks good, but the actual difficulties are only clear to himself!

  At this moment of life and death, he naturally burst out with unprecedented strength.

  It was almost as if Dean's opponent had vanished into thin air, and once he confirmed that the other person had truly disappeared, Dean immediately released his hand from his abdomen, ripped off the bandage, wiped his palm, and threw it into a package that needed to be destroyed - this package contained all the belongings of the "stand-in" gentleman, including the bloodstains on Dean's body.

  "When Mold's body is found, with Baron Thol's temper, he will definitely be furious. Coupled with the thief's corpse appearing in Mold's home, everything will become a revenge of the thieves' guild - even if the thieves' guild in Thol Town has been destroyed, but those thieves who are attracted by my 'identity' as a dead man are enough to keep Baron Thol busy for one or two days, so that he won't have time to pay attention to anything else!"

  "So... this is the best chance for me to take over the Feicheren Knights!"

  Dean narrowed his eyes, picked up the consumable pouch and the corpse of that 'decoy', and quickly disappeared on the spot - this was absolutely not a suitable place to abandon a body, just because that spy chief would suspect.

  So Dean needed another location.

  Fortunately, Dean found quite a few of these seemingly secretive locations before entering Tyltown.

  ……

  Yesterday, in the second half of the night, Tiel's land once again fell snow, and also blew strong winds. With the arrival of winter, such weather will inevitably become more frequent, but there is still a long way to go before the heavy snow blocks the mountain. In fact, during the first month of entering winter, the hunters in Tiel's land are the busiest.

  Because at this time the last batch of merchants who purchase furs and medicinal materials will rush to Tiel Town, then leave in mid-November, and it won't be until late May next year that they come again. In this more than half a year's time, Tiel Town, as well as the entire Tiel Territory, are self-sufficient.

  So every household's man needs to prepare enough food for his parents, wife and children for the whole winter.

  However, this has nothing to do with the young militiamen who serve in the Ferschau Knights - because they all need to serve the Knights for a year, and the silver corners and copper coins will bring another income to their families, enough to share the burden of their fathers and brothers.

  That's right, the militia serving in the Knights' Order are almost all firstborn sons from every household in Tylor.

  This is naturally due to reasons ——

  Firstly, the brothers' weakness makes them unable to truly fulfill their militia duties.

  Secondly, as the pillar of the family, once the father leaves, it will be the collapse of the whole family.

  So, the eldest son who is in a neither-up-nor-down position naturally needs to stand out.

  No longer able to hunt and gather like their own fathers, but stronger than their younger brothers, the young men came to serve in the Knights' Order.

  Of course, this is also because each year's service can bring benefits to the family.

  It's just a few silver coins, after all.

  This was a necessary duty for the nobles after exercising their rights - simply put, the one paying the salary was Baron Teir and not the Knights' Commander.

  Of course, the team leader who was killed by Dean would naturally not mind making a profit from it.

  The young militiamen had already understood the 'rules' here, so although they were angry, they couldn't speak out.

  As for resistance?

  There were no deserters, but the ultimate fate of these deserters was 'accidental falling out', and after a year of militia service, not one could return home.

  After a series of continuous times, all the militia from Tielu knew what they should do.

  Do your own thing, get paid by the Earl of Home and don't bother with anything else - they absolutely do not want to face death or see sadness on their parents' faces.

  In fact, the latter far exceeds the former; after all, in the territory of Tyr, the eldest son of a family is the pillar of the house after his father's old age, and he needs to bear the burden of a family.

  But once this person is gone, the future of this family will be absolutely bleak.

  However, even if they knew better than to pry into the affairs of the Knights Templar and their subordinates, the militiamen couldn't help but stare when Dean appeared at the entrance of the military camp.

  The young man who was guarding the entrance of the military camp and had met Dean a few days ago, subconsciously said: "Sir Knight?"
