Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

"Temporary team leader Hobert."

"arrive!"

When his name was called, Hobert immediately raised his head and responded loudly.

"Report on the course of this mission."

"yes!"

As the captain of this temporary team, Hobert is already mentally prepared to be trained and even punished.

But before that, he had to report the details of this operation to the young master one by one.

"According to the intelligence, our group changed horses and drove overnight. It took three and a half days to arrive at New Point City."

"And following the prompts, we took a short rest and inquired about New Point City, and confirmed that Matthews had passed through this place before and stayed here for seven or eight days."

"At the same time in New Point City, we found out that Matthews likes to drink recently and is often drunk."

"After we had the intelligence and information, we went overnight and found Matthews in the tavern in Naburg Town on the evening of the fifth day after departure."

"According to the operation, we did not arrest Matthews with great fanfare, but used alcohol to make him drunk and sent him back overnight."

After hearing this, Gooden was a little unbelievable about how smoothly everyone captured Matthews.

Just set out like this and catch the other party on the fifth day?

So what will this team be doing for the next nine days?

Even if we just stopped and rested along the way, we should have arrived at Qingyuan Town early, right?

Gooden did not directly raise the doubts in his heart, but quietly continued to listen to Hobert's action report.

"Due to Matthews' sensitive identity, we did not take the main road back after the arrest, but chose a small road to cross."

"In the early morning of the seventh day after departure, we were doing supplies in a small town near Fengshi City, and we were attacked by unknown persons."

"The purpose of the sneak attack was very clear, which was to head towards Matthews. In the first wave of confrontation, we followed a three-two-two arrangement, which prevented the opponent from succeeding, but Jeff was also seriously injured."

The three-two-two arrangement described by Hobert is that three people live in the same room with the target Matthews at the same time, and are stationed at two open posts and two hidden posts.

In this way, it can be ensured that half of the people at the same time can make the fastest response and arrangements when encountering a situation.

But now it seems that this arrangement really works.

"Matthews was confused about us protecting him from third-party intervention, but he quickly guessed our identity. After guessing that we were from Qingyuan Town, he seemed very excited."

"But the situation was unclear at the time, and Jeff was seriously injured, so I ordered an immediate evacuation..."

"Wait, where were the attackers? They left so quickly?"

Gooden was a little confused about what Hobert said about fighting. If the other party came after Matthews, shouldn't they have fought?

Why can you say it so easily and evacuate immediately if the attack fails?

"There's only one person on the other side." In response to Gudern's question, Hobert said in a deep and helpless voice.

"one person?"

"Yes...yes, there is only one person on the other side. He is an assassin, at least starting at the master level. We are not strong enough to restrain his actions."

"And he... only stared at Matthews, and never killed anyone who blocked him. Jeff's serious injury helped Matthews block the knife."

Hobert told the truth truthfully.

A master assassin, specifically targeting Matthews... This made Gooden's brows knitted together again.

Has this guy provoked some powerful person?

But he didn't think too much and motioned for Hobert to continue speaking.

"On the way back, Matthews seemed to know that he could not escape the fate of death. He gave three or four examples of forces in succession, and told us that the possibility of the Charleson family wanting to kill him was the greatest."

"This is all the recorded conversations since we came into contact with Matthews." Hobert said, taking out a few pieces of paper from a compartment on the chest armor where important items were stored.

Gooden took over the conversation record and looked at it carefully, while also listening carefully to Hobert's next words.

"I dare not speculate on what he said. I just wanted to take him back to Qingyuan Town. When we arrived at Yunquan City, only two days away from Qingyuan Town, we were attacked again."

"This time, the other party was obviously well prepared. Even though he was discovered by the secret whistle in advance, before we could react, he had already rushed into the house and gave Matthews a poisonous arrow."

"After the assassin successfully hit Matthews, he ran away without any interest in fighting. When I went to check on Matthews, he was already in a dying state."

After listening and reading the conversation, Gudern also knew that there was nothing he could do about being targeted by an assassin.

Especially when the assassin's level was far higher than that of a group of soldiers, this feeling of powerlessness made everyone present very uncomfortable.

However, after careful calculation, Gudern felt that something was wrong. According to everyone's situation, Qingyuan Town was only two days away at that time.

Even if there was a delay after the attack, etc., they should have returned to the team on the ninth to tenth day after departure.

But they delayed their return until the fourteenth day. Could there have been any accidents in the intervening four to five days?

When Gooden was about to ask, Hobert spoke in advance, giving Gooden a surprise.

"Before Matthews died, he gave me an address and asked us to find someone to get an item and give it to you. He said it was an item that could avenge him."

"So I decided to lead the team south to get the items the other party mentioned..."

While Hobert was talking, he also took out the items Matthews mentioned.

After taking it, Gudern discovered that it was another account book.

After casually opening it and taking a few glances, Gudern's expression instantly became serious.

On it, all the transactions of the Charleson family in the past two years are clearly recorded, and the name of the seller for each transaction is also recorded.

He also clearly stated how he had evaded taxes in the past two years and framed him.

This piece of information is undoubtedly a timely help for Gudern. The ledgers and recordings left by Secht were enough for the Empire to launch an investigation into Charleson.

Gooden doesn't know how long this investigation will take, but it must not end before this winter.

This piece of evidence directly and completely confirms Charleson's treasonous act. As long as he checks with the seller above, the ambitions of the Charleson family will be completely exposed.

"Have any of you read the contents of this book?"

"Only I looked through it but didn't look at it carefully."

Hobert, who had always kept the books, was very honest.

"You haven't seen a word of the above content from now on, do you understand?"

"clear!"

Gooden nodded with slight satisfaction, and then summed up the results of the mission in a deep voice.

"I have a pretty good understanding of the mission this time. You did a good job in the capture process. It's just that the enemy was too strong to handle when we escorted you back."

"In addition, you also did a good job in handling the ending. This mission is not considered a failure."

"Everything happens for a reason, and the merits and demerits are equal to each other, but I hope that next time you encounter this kind of situation, you will have enough strength to solve it. Can you do it?"

"able!"

A row of people who were a little decadent at first had surprise in their eyes when they heard that the young master did not make any punishment decision, and then they collectively roared in response.

"Very good, have a good rest for a day. You will have a mission to take action in two days. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

After regaining the confidence of the soldiers, Gudern returned to the study, threw the account book on the desk, and looked at its cover quietly, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a while, Gudern raised his head and looked at Old Joseph standing beside the desk.

"The person who intercepted and assassinated Matthews this time is, I'm sure, the Charlieson family, and I'm afraid he already knows about the team I sent. Now that we've gone back and forth, we can be regarded as fighting against each other."

"But the courage they showed makes me a little worried. I don't know if I have a series of interferences that are destroying his plan. Will he kill the enemy and directly queue the assassins to the castle?"

"So, I decided to take the first step to disrupt all his subsequent plans."

"Master, do you want to..."

"The dispatched personnel have almost finished lurking, and it's not too late to take action now."

Gudern nodded and responded to the old Joseph.

Regarding the plan to burn the granary, Gudern also discussed it with Joseph Sr. once.

But Old Joseph was a little intolerant of such an approach.

After all, Gudern plans to burn down all the granaries in the entire Snow Valley Ridge, and winter and war are coming.

Food has become a scarce commodity, and even if it is sold, the price will be very high.

As a result, for Snow Valley Town, which has a population of more than 5,000, it will be difficult for them to replenish food throughout the next winter or even the entire next year.

Even if a lot can be rescued from the fire, it will definitely not be able to survive the next year's harvest.

Whether we can even survive this winter is a big question mark.

Even in the follow-up, the young master will find a way to take a walk with the residents of Lardong Snow Valley Town, but after that, he has no idea how many people will starve to death.

Looking at the young master's expression, Old Joseph also knew that it was impossible for him to reverse this decision, so he could only nod in response.

"What tasks need to be arranged now?"

Facing Old Joseph's question, Gudern tapped the table rhythmically.

If you want to use fire attack to destroy the granary in Xuegu Ridge in one fell swoop, the most important thing is that the fire is started in such a way that it cannot be extinguished so easily.

Now he can't get anything like gasoline or kerosene, and he doesn't have the raw materials for the ultimate incendiary bomb called thermite.

Therefore, Gooden set his sights on white phosphorus, which was something he could produce based on his current knowledge.

Moreover, once this thing is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, and it can also produce toxicity, which can have a very good effect on contaminating the food in the granary.

Gudern also foresees the consequences of using this kind of thing, but being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

If you want to do something like this, do it.

After briefly thinking about the items he needed, Gudern stopped and began to arrange them one by one.

"The first item requires a large number of bones to be burned into ashes. The more the better. Prepare as many as you have before tomorrow night."

“Second, the next batch of puree produced by the winery will not be diluted and filtered, and one or two barrels will be directly taken out for later use.”

"Third, prepare a ventilated and independent room for me to ensure it is dry and independent. There should be no residents around. That's all."

"Understood."
