  Chapter 629 Now I am the head of the independent regiment (5600)

  Steel pterosaur group?

  Ian remembered that eight years ago, when Mr. Hilliard knew that Flameland had opened up the mountain pass of the Absalom Mountains, he had wondered how Flameland could get rid of the group of steel pterosaurs in the mountains.

   And his first big prophecy was at that time.

   Unexpectedly, eight years later, the group of steel pterosaurs reappeared and met themselves again.

   "The steel pterosaur king of the fourth energy level has also been enhanced by the biotechnology of the Flame Land, is it comparable to a real dragon?"

Ian turned his head to the side, looked at the map in the governor's office, stared at the area distribution above, and thought in his heart: "No wonder the rebellious mountain people can make such a big noise, the king of the mountain is probably in the recent period of time with the steel wing The Dragon King confronts each other, and the elites of the Dragon Sect and Nanling are all fighting Feiyandi in the mountains."

   "The general situation is like this, and the infiltration of the Feiyan special forces is very serious. We can only focus on maintaining stability and avoid causing more chaos."

Colonel Mayowa clearly answered Ian's question. The man who was not outstanding but seemed to give people a sense of peace and harmony smiled and nodded: "Mr. Ian, you said you want Report to me about the spy, what exactly is it? Could it be that you discovered something when you traveled to Nanling along the way?"

  If it was an ordinary person, Colonel Mayova would probably just listen to it casually and would not pay too much attention to it. After all, he is not a professional, and there have been too many times when he thought that someone was a spy.

But after all, Ian is a genius descendant that his father also valued and even praised, and he himself is a genius in alchemy—Colonel Mayova is not a descendant of an ignorant nobleman, he himself has studied professional alchemy Yes, so I can understand the gold content of Ian's recent technological achievements.

  If it's Ian's suggestion, it's still worth listening to.

  But as soon as the boy opened his mouth, he was puzzled and even absurd.

   "The spy is in the Governor's Palace."

  Ian stretched out his hand and pointed obliquely in the direction of the office area on the first floor across the floor: "It's a vicious parasitic monster with a strong latent ability. If it weren't for my spiritual power that happens to have special effects in this regard, I wouldn't be able to find it."

Colonel Mayova originally wanted to slap the table to reprimand Ian for his nonsense. This kind of accusation is quite serious, which is equivalent to saying that all the knights and leaders in the entire Governor's Mansion, including him, are all useless. Can't find it.

   When the Marquis of Barton comes back, even though he is the son of the Marquis, he will be criticized by the whole army, and even his father will personally punish him severely.

   But his father is the Marquis of Barton after all. Even if he didn't learn the two characteristics of Riddler and Tempter, he still learned very well in acting prudently and not leaving behind things.

   "If this is the case, then it is indeed a huge mistake on our part."

  Colonel Mayova crossed his hands and supported his chin. He said seriously, "Who is it?"

  Even if he didn't believe what Ian said in his heart, he didn't say anything like "If not, you will be punished".

He is not stupid. Ian is his own, and he is still a very young junior. In the final analysis, the other party thinks that he has found a spy, so he opened his mouth. If he made a mistake, it is just a mistake made by being too young and energetic. It is fine to criticize it internally, there is no need It was too ugly.

  The most important thing, only Ian and Ian know about this matter, and maybe they can sell favors at that time.

  Ian also saw that Colonel Mayova didn't believe him.

   Not unexpected. If someone else said that with empty teeth, he would be equally skeptical.

Of course, with his character, Ian actually wants to say, "Don't think you're trash, the Huaiguang Rescue Team next door has been tricked, and their professional ability to deal with monsters is so high. It's not a fault of the war." ', but this kind of words may not be euphemistic, so he just thought about it in his heart and didn't really say it.

   Only proof is required.

Soon, under the identification of Ian, the staff member of the Governor's Mansion who was wearing a bright red light and clearly marked "flesh and blood shapeshifter · psychic control state" in the silver chip was taken away with a confused face. up.

   "He's the spy."

  Ian raised his hand and pointed at this black-haired iron man who was probably in his sixties and was considered an old man in the Governor's Mansion.

  The other party has a simple expression, and his slightly gray beard shows his seniority.

  If you want to play a spy investigation in the entire Governor's Mansion, he must be the last person to be suspected.

   "Me? Spy...Master, I am wronged!"

  Hearing Ian's accusation, the old employee named Klein subconsciously complained, but Ian didn't mean to talk nonsense.

  A cold light flashed, and the ice-blue source quality flashed out from the boy's fingertips, drawing a bright arc in midair.

   These nearly instantaneous ice thorns cannot be avoided by ordinary people, as long as they hit, they will freeze and kill the human body instantly.

  Colonel Mayova frowned slightly. It is a bit too much for Ian to kill people. Even if he is at the second level, the opponent is an employee of the Governor's Mansion after all. It is a bit troublesome to suppress him.

   But he didn't try to stop it. Even if Ian is wrong, it is even more wrong to kill a person, and it is only worthwhile for him to help later.

   But if it's true...

   Like now.

  The ice-blue sharp thorns should have penetrated the head of the old man of the iron people, and the skull of the iron people of Terra, which can block bullets, cannot stop the casual point of the second-level sublimator.

But it was blocked—accompanied by a mournful roar, the old man of the iron people suddenly burst out at extremely fast speed, he slapped out with a palm, and hit the ice spike with his slightly deformed hand, crushing it, and then a He turned over and planned to leave the governor's office from the window.

  The ice thorns exploded in mid-air, and the scattered fragments turned into a hazy mist and debris in mid-air, reflecting Ian's expressionless face and Colonel Mayova's frown.

But this is not the end. Before Colonel Mayova could make a move, in Ian's indifferent eyes, the water mist swirled and condensed again. It gathered the cold and damp air in Nanling autumn, and in an instant, amidst the creaking and growing ice edges It turned into a chain of ice, wrapped around the leg of the old man Iron Man, and the sharp ice edge pierced into the opponent's body.

  Then, the blood-red blood ice gradually deformed and spread across the ferocious monster that turned into a doppelganger. It protruded from the inside of the skin, forming a chain that wrapped around its body.

  The doppelganger that had been stripped of a large amount of water in its body couldn't move, and fell to the floor in front of the window.

   "...it really is."

  At this moment, other knights around the Governor's Mansion sensed the source of the reaction in the office, and immediately rushed to support, causing the air to send out one after another shrill wind.

  But Colonel Mayova just sighed, he raised his voice and said, "Stand back!"

  So the outside world, all the knights stepped back and stood by.

  The brown-haired officer stood up from behind the desk, and walked to the side of the flesh and blood shapeshifter who couldn't move, but still breathed a sigh of relief.

"what a pity."

   Gazing at the barely human-shaped monster, Colonel Mayova sighed: "Klein will be able to retire and enjoy the blessings in three years. How should I explain this to his children and grandchildren?"

  —what the hell.

  Ian thought. He could fully see that Colonel Mayova didn't stop him from killing him when he didn't believe him at the beginning. The other party didn't care about the other party's life at all.

  The boy didn't speak, but the colonel was silent for a while. After thinking about the countermeasures, he turned to Ian and said, "You have made a great contribution, all of this is our dereliction of duty."

   "Ian, what are you going to do about it?"

  He now calls Ian by his first name, and he fully recognizes that Ian is his own.

  The young man was not polite at this time: "Colonel, this monster has some similarities with the brain-eating worms I once saw in the Sequoia natives, so I can directly discover it by relying on psychic power."

   "If nothing else happens, this kind of monsters should be more afraid of slight psychic interference, because their thinking ability depends entirely on low-level psychic energy to read the memory of the parasite's brain."

   "My suggestion is to activate the psychic power tower of Nauman City immediately to shock the whole city. In this way, if there are second or third monsters lurking, they should be discovered soon."

   "How much do you think the number will be?"

  Colonel Mayova nodded, and he seriously asked Ian for his opinion: "If this monster is already lurking in the major departments, do we need to set up a bureau to attract more important targets to recover the loss, instead of scaring the snake?"

  Ian shook his head: "There will not be too many. Colonel, it is very difficult to control the number of such monsters, and the cost may be expensive."

   "And it has a great weakness. Once it is discovered, it is easy to wipe out all of them. The risk is too great—I personally think that there may be only one monster."

   "In other words, this may be an experimental battle in Flameland. This monster is dead, and we have already alerted the enemy."

   "You are a professional."

The colonel had no doubts, he decided to do what Ian said, and praised: "I remember that your friend is Isengard of the Ellen family, right? Indeed, the light-eating dragon is also a powerful parasitic blood, no wonder you are interested in it." So sharp about that.”

   "It makes sense for my father to speak so highly of you. Ian, you are indeed a top talent who can find and solve problems."

   "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with your territory. After the investigation is over, I will find my father to contact you."

   "Thank you, Colonel, for your attention."

  Ian bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

  And Colonel Mayova began to issue orders, preparing to conduct an inventory of the entire city.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

The incomparably loud bells resounded over the entire city of Nauman, and the buzzing sound of spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from the top of the spiritual energy tower, ringing for a long time in the gradually dimming twilight. The water waves spread towards the entire city in all directions.

  Pedestrians walking on the street heard the bell ringing, and they were a little at a loss. They didn't know why the bell was ringing.

   Teams of knights and city defense troops walked out of the barracks quickly and lined up on the street.

  The **** knights led a team and patrolled the city on a large scale. Under the reverberating bells, the uniform passwords of the knights and guards could be heard, making the city that should have been silent gradually become noisy.

  In Nauman City, ordinary people are not affected in any way, because they have no soul, and this slight spiritual shock can't have any effect on them at all.

  But most of the sublimators of the first energy level have unhappy expressions on their faces. Although they don't have souls, the spiritual matter in their bodies is being bred, and they can feel very loud auditory hallucinations ringing in their heads.

   It's just that everyone knows that for the Governor's Mansion to make such a decision, something big is definitely going to happen.

  Ian followed Colonel Mayova, watching the entire team commanding Nauman City to deal with this major parasitic crisis in an orderly manner, he nodded slightly.

  Whether it is the Empire or Flameland, monsters and psychic monsters that can parasitize intelligent creatures and deprive them of their identities for their own use, and even psychics have a set of screening and elimination procedures.

Different from Earth, on Terra, there are not a lot of swarms, insect nests, and even mind monsters. There are also many forces who want to use this technology to steal information. When they expand silently in the early stage, they always It cannot attract attention, but once discovered, countries and even major forces can easily eliminate them.

"I just said that the Huaiguang Church has wiped out seventeen swarms. This world must be resistant to this kind of parasitic flow, and the flesh and blood shapeshifter has a higher level, which can perfectly simulate the personality. Otherwise, as long as there are any clues It's time to start the investigation."

Ian shook his head slightly. When he dreamed of the way of the swarm, he wondered why he didn't quietly parasitize Port Harrison, and then lurked the key foreshadowing in major cities. When he fully attacked, let those People who have been parasitized should cooperate from inside to outside to seize key positions.

  Thinking about it, I should have tried it, but was identified.

   After all, the parasitism of the swarm can also have the effect of surprise attacks on civilizations that are generally unseen. It is still a little bit meaningless to deal with Terra, a highly technological and excessive post-apocalyptic civilization.

  In the evening, after Ian had dinner with Colonel Mayova, the comprehensive investigation of Nauman City was over.

  The result is not bad.

There is only one flesh and blood shapeshifter in the Governor's Mansion, but in addition, they also found seven key personnel whose memory and thinking have been affected by psychic energy. These personnel generally have personality deformation, amnesia and severe thinking disorders .

  They were possessed by some powerful psyker.

   "The one who controls the flesh and blood shapeshifter should also be this psyker."

   Colonel Mayova put down the knife and fork. Unlike his father, he still prefers to use normal tableware, but this tableware is still carried with him.

  Family Tradition Belongs to Yes.

And Ian was quite satisfied with the dinner—a well-cooked roast calf, topped with black pepper mushroom sauce; cross-shaped South Sea iron bone swordfish, with a plate of spices as a dry dish dipping side; The quite delicate honey tree bud cake is the main food, and the drink is snow valley tea from Canaan Moore.

  The calf meat is tender and juicy, the meat is crispy, and the whole dinner is full of color and fragrance, but there is no staple food such as bread.

  Although it is said that they lead by example, in fact, sublimators usually do not eat grains with low source quality content, which is why they are out of touch with the entire society.

"indeed so."

   Ian also agrees with Colonel Mayova's judgment. Apparently, this time Feiyandi sent a very powerful psyker to preside over the intelligence work on Nanling. No wonder the situation is so bad now.

   "The imperial capital should have finished the meeting."

He and Ian felt that the intelligence work in Nanling was difficult to do. After asking for money and no money and no people, Colonel Mayova checked the time, then got up and took Ian to contact the Marquis of Barton: "Although the big meeting is over, But after the national meeting, there are still various small meetings, and my father should be reporting to His Majesty on the work of inspecting the knights recently, and now I have time."

   "By the way, Ian." He looked at Ian's clothes, and reminded: "You have to figure out your 'identity'. Although I don't mind, but your father's character...you also understand."

   "I understand. I am an officer of the patrolling knights, not an elite alchemist of the Alchemy Association."

  Ian nodded slightly: "Then please, Colonel."

  During the meeting, the Marquis of Barton refused to accept any information except the numbers of those close to him. Colonel Mayova used his own number to communicate with Ian. After saying a few words, he handed the communication crystal board to Ian.

  【Ian? 】

  The Marquis of Barton's cold voice sounded: [Are you contacting me as a lord or a patrolling knight? 】

   "Patrolling Knight."

  Ian said without hesitation, "The second energy level team leader. I contacted you, Lord Marquis, in this capacity."

  【Nanling is very chaotic, isn’t it】

  The Marquis of Barton didn't sound in a good mood, but Ian didn't know whether the other party brought the emotions into the meeting or pretended, so he said: "It's not chaotic, but there are some things that need to be resolved."

  Marquis Barton said: [Very well, it seems that you have your own ideas. tell me your opinion】

"Reporting to the general, in the final analysis, rebelling against the mountain people is dissatisfaction with the imperial policy. The economic system of the mountain people has never been able to integrate into the empire. The policy two hundred years ago regarded the mountain people as colonized and exploited, but now they should be part of the empire. But the policy hasn't changed."

The order of Ian's words is clear: "Only by joining the army can the mountain people have the opportunity to integrate into the empire normally. If the high-end force of the mountain people can be absorbed through the army, then the situation can still be maintained. But now the main battlefield is in the western region, although Nanling has entered a state of preparation , While martial law is in full swing, it is difficult to obtain military merits, which makes many leaders of the mountain people feel dissatisfied."

"Not to mention, the flying flames caused the monsters to riot, and the food production was reduced. The empire directly under the jurisdiction can support the food. Nauman, Three Rivers and Harrison Port have fish catches, so they can support it, but the mountain people in the autonomous region and the colony are still hungry. What about the stomach—ordinary mountain people can’t figure out who caused this situation, they only think that the imperial people have food to eat, and they have nothing to eat, so they want to grab it.”

   "Combined with the instigation of Pyrotechnic agents, the rebellion happened. Things are very clear and simple, so it is not chaotic, but some problems need to be dealt with."

  【Well said】The Marquis of Barton praised: 【How to solve it, how to deal with it? 】

"I can't solve it, General." Ian said without a trace of hesitation, "The only one who can solve this matter is the Governor of Nanling, that is, you, General. During this trip to the imperial capital, you must want to solve these too decadent policy issues. The structure of the colonies and autonomous regions was completely dismantled, all of which were under the direct control of the empire, and the great development of Nanling was launched—but Feiyan was one step faster and provoked the rebellion first."

"But this is actually a good thing in a certain sense. Feiyan detonated the fire barrel for us. We only need to get rid of them and tell the mountain people that they are the source of the mountain people's lack of clothing and food. Then we can use the fastest Quickly accept people's hearts and achieve follow-up goals."

   "However, I'm just the captain of the patrolling knight squad. At most, I can only solve some local rebellion problems and do a little force work. These problems are beyond my ability to solve."

【very good. ian. very good】

  The Marquis of Barton sounded very relieved: [In this case, I want to give you some hard work in terms of force to do, which may offend the mountain people, are you willing to do it]

"Ha ha."

  Ian smiled softly: "The mountain people and the redwood natives are fierce? I am from Harrison Port. I have been killing the natives since I was eight years old. I have long been used to this kind of thing."

  【Hmmm】The Marquis of Barton's tone carried a hint of a smile:【Mayova, is the army regiment level of the Nineteenth Army now full? 】

   "It's full." Colonel Mayova said: "But it can be empty at any time."

  Majova’s rank of colonel is not in the navy and army, but a colonel of armored troops. His status is at the rank of deputy army. It is not difficult for him to appoint and dismiss the colonel-level officers in the legion.

  【That’s not necessary, there’s no need to be so obvious】

  The Marquis of Barton thought about it for a while: [Ian, since the regiments of the Nineteenth Army are full, I will give you an independent establishment. Independent regiment or independent battalion, it depends on how many people you can pull up in the future]

  【As for the military rank... patrolling knight, just entering the second level, this qualification is actually enough for a colonel】

  【But to be more on the safe side, even if it is a major】
