Lord Harland.

Chapter 89 Intelligence Officer

Although he is very busy every day, Li Cha still works hard to practice every day.

No matter how tight the time is, the breathing method in the morning and the meditation method in the evening never stop.

One year after the war ended, Li Cha's experience increased a lot, and he opened the attribute panel.

For more than a year, although Li Cha has not advanced in the professional level, he has gained more than 5000 points of experience in the breathing method.

In addition, in the past year, Li Cha devoted a lot of time to learning magic.

Especially after marrying Sophia, the two have the same hobbies. Under Sophia's guidance, Richard learned a variety of magic, and his strength increased significantly.

In March of this year, Wendy's career level was also raised by one level.

She has never taken any potion to increase mental power, and her magic level has been raised to the second level at this age. Even if Wendy's talent is not as good as Sophia's, she can still be called excellent.

Although swordsmanship and fighting skills can be advanced, Li Cha wants to save some experience.

Meditation method experience is the most difficult to improve, Li Cha wants to use the experience on meditation method.

In the past year, two more people in Harland's territory have advanced to become professionals.

Both were veterans of the war, one named Perrin and the other Julian.

After becoming professionals, Li Cha promoted them to mid-level officers in the territory.

Counting the squadron adapted from Soros' mercenaries, the Sophia Territory Squadron, the Harland family now has a total of six infantry squadrons and two trebuchet squadrons.

The trebuchet squadrons are all auxiliary soldiers. Except for the state of war, they train for three months a year, and each of the free folk auxiliary soldiers receives a gold coin allowance per year.

However, there are only a few excellent trebuchet players among the auxiliary soldiers, who were promoted by Li Cha as freemen, and their military salary does not exceed [-] gold coins a year, which is almost negligible.

Infantry squadrons are standing troops.

Among them, the sixth squadron belongs to Soros, Kent and his son.

Richard has discussed with his uncle Soros that if Soros becomes a hereditary baron, he will take the Sixth Squadron with him.

The Fifth Squadron is the garrison of Stopa Territory, and the squadron leader is Sophia's uncle Vito.

The first and second squadrons are the old troops in Harland's territory, and the squadron leaders are still Martin and Heyman.

Li Cha, deputy squadron leader, appointed Perrin and Julian.

The third squadron has been established for nine months and has completed the recruit training. The squadron leader Alves and the deputy squadron leader Jennings.

The Fourth Squadron has just begun to organize and is undergoing recruit training.The squadron leader is Bradrick, and the deputy squadron leader is Vincent.Among them, Bradrick's professional level has advanced to the third level.

Last year's orc invasion war, the use of heavy trebuchets played a decisive role.

Relying on this new weapon, the Kingdom of Grant won two major battles.

Earl Martins even used a heavy trebuchet as a bait to kill the legendary orc, and the strategic situation improved slightly.

Even though the news of Chenxi Continent was slow to spread, equipment such as heavy-duty trebuchets had also been heard by the nobles.

Recently, nearby nobles have sent people to Harland's territory to inquire about information.

Li Cha has a very strong sense of secrecy, and the auxiliary squadron equipped with heavy trebuchets has not been disbanded, and has been stationed in Fort William.

Fort William now has no foreign free people, and the residents are all garrisons and their families.

Richard also formulated the lord's decree, prohibiting random migration in the territory and restricting the movement of the population.

The closed social environment makes outsiders have nothing to hide, which is very eye-catching.

Recently, Li Cha has caught many spies.

Although they were reduced to slaves, this still couldn't stop the continuous temptation of the nobles.

Forced to do so, Li Cha could only strengthen the confidentiality propaganda.

Most of the hereditary nobles have secret intelligence forces, which are generally under the control of intelligence adjutants.

Intelligence is a very important power of nobles, and it is not suitable for outsiders to manage it.

After discussing with Richard, Sophia, and William, they decided to hand it over to Richard's brother Hayden.

Having practiced in the military for several years, Hayden finally opened the seed of life not long ago and became a first-tier professional.

He became a professional, and Hayden had just been promoted to the military rank. He was going to be promoted to the deputy squadron leader of the sixth squadron of the eighth battalion of the Wild Lions, and partnered with Richard's old comrade-in-arms Diarra.

But after William talked to him, Hayden gave up his career in the army and decided to serve as a territorial intelligence officer.

After Hayden took office, he removed fifteen soldiers from the main squadron, and then recruited some quick-witted people from the slaves to set up the Harland Territory Intelligence Agency.

With the intelligence department, the efficiency of arresting spies is faster. Harden sent people to watch factories, mines, and castles. As long as they were strangers from outside, they would be arrested. These people were often spies.

Although they were arrested, the nearby nobles still did not give up and were still sending spies to Harland's territory.

There are many things that need to be kept secret in the territory, such as steel factories, brick kiln factories, and brown sugar tree plantations.Any leakage of craftsmanship will cause great losses to the territory of Harland.

Even if Li Cha sent a garrison to protect it, there is still a risk of leakage after a long time.

In order to avoid trouble, Richard sent a message to the nobles behind him, willing to exchange blueprints for heavy trebuchets.

At this time, the Grant royal family also publicly promised that they were willing to exchange blueprints for heavy trebuchets with nobles in the territory.

After a two-pronged approach, the troubles in Li Cha's territory were reduced.

During the recent period, almost all of the more than 100 nobles in the three provinces of northern Xinjiang sent spies to Harland's territory.

In just two or three months, more than 300 spies were arrested, which shows the trouble caused by the leak of heavy trebuchets.

Another reason why there are so many spies in Harland's territory is that they are of average strength.If the Harland family were hereditary earls, most of the viscounts and barons would not dare to send spies to cause trouble for themselves.

Li Cha hated spies very much, and he degraded all these spies as slaves, and would never pardon them for the rest of their lives.

This batch of slaves, Richard is planning to use them in the mine.

The work in the mine is very dangerous and difficult, just let these spies do it.

Now most of the miners are orc slaves, mixing spies with orc slaves, letting the orcs punish the spies, and then making a big splash.

Hope to deter these messy foreign spies.

Fortunately, the territory of Harland is a new territory, and there are only a few free citizens.

Many places are protected by garrisons, such as brick kiln factories and steel factories. If there is an intrusion from outsiders, they will be arrested by the garrison immediately.

If after a few years, a large number of contract slaves become free citizens, the territory is full of small traders, and spies will be difficult to identify.

The drawings of the heavy-duty trebuchets in the hands of the royal family are clearly priced, and can be exchanged for [-] gold coins.

Some nobles in northern Xinjiang disliked the high price, and they had a second choice, so they sent someone to negotiate with the Harland family.
