I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 80 Assassins and Spies

Infinity Tower, Dungeon.

With the assistance of the elf cavalry, Gannon quickly captured the fleeing intruders one by one. The remaining survivors, totaling no more than fifteen people, were all put into the dungeon for interrogation.

Naturally, the mouths of these soldiers whose will had already been broken were not too strict, and Ganon soon learned the whole story from these mouths.

"The son of Grand Duke Xihe?" Ganon asked, staring at the soldier in front of him.

"Yes, you killed the Grand Duke's eldest son, Lord Delos, in late summer. Grand Duke Dipper offered a reward to recruit troops to attack you. We were just recruited... Please have mercy..." The soldiers kept begging for mercy.

Ganon thought of the warrior of the extraordinary realm that he had killed when he was guarding Muqiu's stronghold. When he killed that man, of course he would not know that the other party was the heir of the Principality of Xihe.

It's a pity, if he knew, it would be good to tie him up for a ransom, so that the ruler of a principality would not suddenly be at odds with him now.

However, if people are killed now, they will be killed. The problem is that after this, the Grand Duke will probably not let it go.

Ganon asked a few more questions, but did not get any other particularly useful information. The soldiers imprisoned here just kept begging for mercy, and finally he said: "If you are willing to serve me, I can save your life."

Afterwards, he made these 15 people sign the prisoner contract, and none of them dared to refuse.

After ordering Stone to temporarily imprison these people in the dungeon, Ganon left the dungeon.

"How is it, what's the situation?" Zhenna immediately came up to her and asked.

Gannon explained to her the information he had obtained during the interrogation.

"Grand Duke Dipu of the Principality of Xihe, so the one you killed was his son Delos." Zhenna was thoughtful.

"Are they famous in the empire?" Ganon asked casually.

"It's quite famous. Dilos is relatively accomplished among the younger generation of nobles, and he is one of the few fighters in the extraordinary realm. He even proposed marriage to my imperial sister, but his private life is not very well-known. As for Grand Duke Dipu..." Zhenna said with a look of disgust.

"What happened to him?" Ganon asked.

"It is said that Grand Duke Dipper has a special fondness for young girls. He is quite famous in the aristocratic circle. Once, his subjects fled his territory with their families and went to the imperial capital to accuse the Grand Duke of crimes. This happened twice, but nothing happened. After all, he is the ruler of a principality." Zhenna said and shook her head.

"We have to find a chance to kill him too." Ganon thought seriously.

"Ganoen, don't go up and attack the Principality of Xihe for a while. This time, it should be that Grand Duke Di Pu was eager for revenge and didn't plan well, so he put together such an idiot team. The Principality of Xihe still has a certain armed force. They are still allies with Beishan Kingdom." Zhen Na said seriously.

"I'm not that stupid, I just think he should be killed quietly." Ganon turned his hand into a knife and slashed down. "If he is not dealt with, he will definitely continue to think about avenging his son."

"Assassination? How do you do this? It may not be easy for you to find out the whereabouts of Grand Duke Di Pu." Zhen Na said.

"I have indeed discovered that we are lacking in one thing here." Gannon said seriously.

Zhenna thought for a while: "You mean, intelligence?"

"That's right." Gannon snapped his fingers, "We lack external intelligence networks."

They lack channels to take the initiative to learn about the news, the movements of the empire, and the movements of other forces. Most of the time, they are basically ignorant.

In many cases, either other forces broke into his territory before he noticed anything, or it was second-hand news from Mu Xia.

The sudden attack of the Principality of Xihe this time, as well as the previous visit by Dolan Silone, are actually examples. Looking forward, even Isbel broke into his territory. He actually seemed a little passive every time.

It can't go on like this.

The Empire and the Principality may take actions against him again at any time, and his reputation has spread to the Dragon Ascension Lair, and it may also spread to Nitriran, where the dark elves live...

If there is no source of intelligence, when a real crisis strikes in the future, they may not be able to respond in time.

They can't always be behind in intelligence warfare, spies who spy on intelligence, assassins who assassinate targets - the Tower of Infinity urgently needs such talents now.

He thought for a while, thinking that maybe Mu Xia could provide him with such a person, so he called Isbel over and asked.

"Spy? Assassin?" Isbel blinked her eyes after hearing this, and then immediately shook her head, "Don't think about it, Ganon, Mu Xia is also very lacking in this aspect. To be honest, Mu Xia is relatively closed, and the political environment is also stable. She seldom does spying and assassination internally and externally. There are not many assassins who believe in the Evernight Goddess, and you see, the war has just finished."

"Indeed." Ganon also realized that it would be difficult for Mu Xia to provide him with talents in this area.

After Mu Xia fought with the empire, it was necessary to concentrate intelligence resources on defense against the empire, and the personnel should be relatively tight.

"Where can I recruit this kind of talent? Or there are reliable information brokers." Ganon pondered.

"Well, I think it depends first on whether you are willing to spend money on this matter?" Zhen Na suddenly said from the side.

"I will still spend the necessary money!" Gannon emphasized, and then added, "It's just that there will be a little heartache."

He thought for a while, and suddenly recalled that Lampard seemed to have mentioned something related to him: "By the way, Lampard seems to have mentioned before that Nitrilan's 'Maze' has the best assassin in the whole continent..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhenna and Isbel spoke in unison.

"What's wrong?" Ganon asked back.

"Ganon, you are forming an alliance with us. What are you trying to do by recruiting the dark elves? If my mother finds out, it may break the alliance. Believe me!" Isbel said seriously.

"Do you hate dark elves so much?" Ganon was a little surprised. Although he knew that elves and dark elves would not deal with each other, he did not expect to be able to reach this point.

"I like the works of dark elves very much, but I still can't help but hate them a little bit. Other elves are even more serious, especially my queen mother. She said before that all dark elves should be exterminated." Isbel replied.

"Because of a feud?" Ganon asked.

"The feud was a long time ago, and now it's mainly because of racial discrimination." Isbel replied with her hips on her hips.

"It's very natural for you to give an incredible reason." Ganon commented.

"It's nothing, they also discriminate against us racially, and the concepts cultivated since childhood are hard to change." Isbel said.

"Ganon, the dark elves are not trustworthy. A long time ago, the empire recruited spies and assassins from Nitrilan. As a result, Nitrilan's people were sometimes bought by the other side, defected and even became double agents. Instead, they brought losses to the employers. They have no credibility at all—at least for other races. You should give up." Zhenna also persuaded earnestly.
