"The Empire’s key to invading the North County?"

"That’s right, this is the result our Li Yang spies risked their lives to find out."

Wang Agui said this, and his gaze suddenly dimmed again. "They all died, only I survived."

"The Empire! Those beasts from the Empire, North County must hold on!"

In Wang Agui’s intelligence, the Empire dispatched a large number of Great Xia traitors disguised as refugees to North County, to be absorbed by North County.

Once these traitors entered North County, they would proceed to their respective target locations according to the prearranged plans.

More specific details were unclear to Wang Agui; just uncovering the above information had already cost many lives.

"Great Xia traitors shouldn’t be able to pass through my screening method. But over the past month, all information about receiving refugees has been normal, with no special occurrences?"

"Could it be that the Empire used some means unknown to me to bypass the screening method’s detection?"

Shang Siteng’s expression became increasingly serious.

If Wang Agui’s information was correct, indeed, over the past month, a large number of refugees pledged allegiance to North County. And as a month passed, they had followed their own volitions and went to different cities.

If the Empire indeed set some measures on these refugees, they would not be dealt with so easily!

"Bob, organize an online emergency meeting and make sure everyone on the list attends punctually."

"No problem." Little Dragon Man Bob immediately responded in the virtual network.

He snapped his fingers, and a virtually constructed conference room appeared online. In the next second, virtual light images of North County’s high-ups, including Shang Siteng, Lin Jingxuan, Shen Zheqi, and Ye Qiu, appeared in the conference room.

Shang Siteng shared the intelligence Wang Agui just provided with everyone and spoke:

"I’ve already asked Bob to quickly screen the refugee intake situation over the past month and their respective destinations."

"Regarding this, North County has always enforced it strictly, so the investigation shouldn’t be difficult, probably only taking a quarter of an hour."

"Once the results come out, contact the garrison in each area to cooperate and control these refugees as swiftly as possible." Lin Jingxuan took over the conversation and said.

Shen Zheqi glanced at the others and raised his question: "Currently, most local garrison forces are knights under Zhan Ning and Yu Lian."

"Based on the current intelligence, the Empire covets Great Xia; should we still trust them?"

"If not, we should deploy Celestial Net’s rapid response mobile unit to handle it instead."

The rapid response mobile unit is a troop directly governed by Celestial Net Bob, composed purely of intelligent mechanisms, executing commands as per programming, and never betraying.

Li Tugui shook his head and rejected this suggestion: "With outside threats looming, everyone should be united, not distrustful of companions."

"All of us emerged from the City of Extreme Evil, and I can vouch for them."

It wasn’t Li Tugui acting on impulse, but if at this critical juncture, Zhan Ning and Bob, along with a group of knights, were to be disheartened, the law and order in all cities would take a significant hit.

Moreover, he trusted Zhan Ning and Bob. If they wished to turn traitor, they would have done so already when dealing with the Fallen Knights.

"Then let’s proceed as Elder Li suggests." Shen Zheqi nodded in agreement.

"The results are out, and the list has been sent to your respective communicators." At this moment, Little Dragon Man Bob flicked his tail and spoke.

Lin Jingxuan scanned the list and the cities those listed individuals were headed to.

"Display the listed personnel and corresponding cities on the virtual screen."

Upon hearing this, Bob snapped his fingers.

On the virtual screen, a map of the entire North County belonging to North County appeared, and shortly after, the cities those refugees headed to were marked one by one on the map.

As the red dots indicated cities all got marked, everyone present gasped, feeling a chill running from their spine to the top of their heads.

All cities!

Yes, all cities of North County!

These mobile individuals aimed to cover the entire map of North County!

"Everyone, there’s no need to hesitate."

"This is a huge conspiracy aimed at destroying North County and annihilating Great Xia."

"Have the rapid response mobile unit and the knight order’s garrison work together to control these refugees as quickly as possible. Ensure experts in behavioral and psychological analysis are ready for orders, we need to extract the information we need from them as soon as possible."

"Additionally, Bob, have Celestial Net conduct surveillance screening on a city-by-city basis, retrieving these refugees’ daily movement trajectories in each city to see if there are commonalities or intersections."

"Start with the most critical cities with the largest number of people!"

Clear and precise directives came from Lin Jingxuan.

Everyone received their assignments and gradually left the virtual conference room.

...

Wang Agui lay in the intensive care unit.

His physical condition was not optimistic.

Though his body, cut by a knight’s heavy sword, reassembled under the Nuwa Stone of Heavenly Origin’s ability, his vitality was still heavily depleted.

Heaven’s Origin, after all, is not Creation of Living Beings, vastly lacking in vitality restoration.

The nurse responsible for his care was checking his life-support device, replenishing new Life Essence, using the most primitive method to keep him alive.

"North County... how is it..."

Wang Agui murmured, his voice even huskier than before.

"Everything in North County is well."

Remembering Lord Lin’s previous instructions, the nurse didn’t hide anything, sharing all the information visible on the Celestial Net forum with him.

"With the cooperation of the garrison in each city and the rapid response mobile unit, the refugees accepted by North County this past month have entered a controlled state."

"Specialized experts and scholars are conducting counseling and analysis on them."

"Fortunately, with your timely warning, the situation is now under initial control."

Hearing this, Wang Agui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tears glistened in his eyes, and in his haziness, he again saw the scene of the founding of the spy organization, Zeng Jiaoyang’s dying instructions to him.

"Make sure to deliver the intelligence to North County!"

"You must!"

"Brother Zeng, I did it." Wang Agui closed his eyes, his brow furrowed in pain, and scalding tears rolled down his cheeks, "I did it..."

Beep beep beep beep!

Suddenly, the life detection instrument began to emit a violent alarm.

Wang Agui’s eyes suddenly widened, his originally distinct pupils instantly turned pitch black.

In the next second, his eyeballs burst open, and black blood, like ink, splattered onto the nurse’s face and body.

The same scene occurred on the body of every controlled Great Xia refugee.

Destruction has arrived!
