The warden who guards the witches

The next day, Aiden read a letter from Heinz Hoffman.

Heinz had left the autonomous state long ago, but he left enough people in the autonomous state to contact Aiden. Using the secret police's telegraph line, they could quickly get in touch.

As long as Aiden found the contact person to convey the information, the other party would convey the questions to Heinz, and then Heinz would give an order to contact the secret police branch stationed in Luohui City. Finally, the contact person in Silver City who received the telegram reply would deliver the information Aiden wanted disguised as a letter from ordinary people to the warden's mailbox.

Just yesterday, Aiden conveyed to the contact person that he wanted to find out the information of the Vengeance Temple mercenary group operating on the southern border of Gistas.

Before that, Aiden also tried to find Sophie to ask for specific information about the Vengeance Temple.

The Vengeance Temple is a mercenary organization with the religious nature of worshiping the goddess of vengeance - in fact, it is not accurate to say "one". Like most mercenaries, they have no stance, but only advocate revenge according to doctrine. From terrorist attacks involving racial hatred to bloody revenge due to personal grudges, as long as they are paid, they will provide strength to assist their employers in seeking revenge.

However, it seems that because the goddess of vengeance does not have the intention to unify the management of all believers, the banner of the Vengeance Temple itself does not have much core cohesion. The mercenary groups without positions are scattered in different regions, basically fighting on their own. Sometimes, two hostile employers both hire a mercenary group, and there will even be a spectacle of two mercenary groups under the Vengeance Temple fighting each other to death.

So rather than saying that the "Vengeance Temple" is a mercenary organization of a religious nature, it is better to say that the "Vengeance Temple" is actually a general term for several different mercenary groups with the same religious beliefs.

But among these mercenary groups, there is a pure "Vengeance Temple" because they directly serve the goddess of vengeance. Those scattered mercenary groups under the banner of the Vengeance Temple will fight each other because of their different positions, but they will never be hostile to this "headquarters" (of course they dare not). If the "headquarters" serving the goddess of vengeance calls for it, other mercenary groups may not really work hard, but they will take more or less action.

In Aiden's eyes, this is probably similar to the relationship between religious leaders and countries of all sizes who believe in this religion in a certain era in the previous life. At the same time, it is a bit like a franchisee. The mercenary group offers faith to the goddess of vengeance and obtains the qualification to use the banner of the "Vengeance Temple".

After the "Vengeance Temple Headquarters" where the goddess of vengeance is located was destroyed by the Blood Moon Cult controlled by Melifilia and Mr. Bloody Clothes, the small mercenary group composed of crazy Hero and some remnants was also mistaken for a small mercenary group under the banner of the "Vengeance Temple".

But now it seems that this group of people may be the only remaining members of the Vengeance Temple Headquarters.

According to Sophie's intelligence, the Smiling Balance has not paid attention to the information of the Vengeance Temple after the destruction of the headquarters. After all, they are only interested in the goddess of vengeance. After the death of the goddess of vengeance, the scattered believers are of no value to the Smiling Balance in collecting intelligence.

And after the headquarters lost signs of activity, those scattered "Vengeance Temple" mercenary groups disappeared one by one. The reason is also easy to think of. They probably don't know what force destroyed the headquarters, but the force that solved the Vengeance Temple headquarters may not kill all the mercenary groups under the banner of "Vengeance Temple".

These mercenary groups that believe in the goddess of vengeance may not be very devout. Most groups just think that the banner of "Vengeance Temple" is useful.

But on the other hand, the mercenary groups that dare to use this banner after that are probably the so-called "true love", that is, the devout believers of the goddess of vengeance-such as the one mentioned by Abigail.

Without their intelligence, the Smiling Balance could only rely on the Royal Secret Police to investigate. Aiden suddenly found that in just a few months, he seemed to have accumulated quite good intelligence resources in a specific field.

The letter from Heinz read: "There are many religious groups in Luohui City, but many of them are local beliefs brought by refugees from the south. It will take time to identify which one is right.

There is no news from Professor Dodge.

The Vengeance Temple is currently hiding in the Red Earth Mountains, and there is an attack related to them.

If there is any need, we can use informants to connect with them."

Attached inside is a data attachment, which is a report on the terrorist attack.

Aiden frowned as he read it. The report relayed from the telegram was concise, but it contained a lot of information.

In the south of the Kingdom of Gistas, there are two small kingdoms with long-standing ethnic conflicts with complex origins. This year, due to an explosion attack, the small friction between the two countries was about to explode and turned into a war.

The report in the attachment is the terrorist attack that the warring parties have been arguing about until now. However, the Royal Secret Police of Gistasi directly determined that the explosion was caused by this small mercenary group under the banner of "Vengeance Temple".

Not only that, they also know the current hiding place of the mercenary group, and even have informants who can directly contact them.

This is very interesting - when Aiden collected local political reports before, he found that quite a few political commentators claimed that the Kingdom of Gistasi was behind the war.

In fact, after the war started, the Kingdom of Gistasi did express its position, supporting one of the parties behind the scenes and secretly manipulating the war.

This is not surprising. A great power always has to maintain its voice in the surrounding areas. When war breaks out in neighboring countries, the great power can always find an opportunity to "mediate" it. If it is more "enthusiastic", it can even send troops to play the role of world police.

And Heinz's reply undoubtedly told him one thing directly - the explosion attack that ignited the war is inseparable from Gistas.

Let this mercenary group that is almost a terrorist organization do this, even if it is exposed, it is easy to distance itself from it. It just so happens that the "Vengeance Temple" is famous for participating in terrorist activities related to ethnic hatred.

After completing the work, the mercenary group was idle. They hid in the Red Land Mountains on the border of Gistas, and only occasionally took on some other scattered work on the battlefield. They were directly hired by one of the kingdoms of the warring parties, but the real financial backer behind them was probably the Kingdom of Gistas - this may not even be clear to the mercenary group itself.

If this mercenary group still has a devout enough belief, the goddess of vengeance may still have enough influence on them, and even use them to rebuild the headquarters of the Vengeance Temple.

Of course, Mr. Bloody Clothes might also be able to use this...
