National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 181 Intelligence Department

"Qi Yan City?"

Lin Zhi opened the game map and found that the central area of ​​the void battlefield, including Qi Yan City and six other cities, was still dark.

This means that they have not yet been occupied.

After instructing the adventure group to level up in Blood Crystal City, he went to the city alone.

After dozens of days of travel, they finally arrived at a fortress connected to the Mechanical Great Wall dozens of miles outside this city.

In the distance, psychic towers were floating in the air on alert, and countless soldiers were flying in and out of the city.

The surrounding fog had long been dispelled, and Lin Zhi passed the identity check and entered the city.

Soon, he met Meng Xingchen.

Meng Xingchen was wearing military uniform. When he saw Lin Zhi coming, he pointed to a sand table on the table next to him.

"This is a simulation sandbox of the void."

Lin Zhi looked as he was told and saw that the sand table was made up of three colors: red, yellow and green.

At this time, the Five Mountains Empire and the Human Alliance occupied the largest territory, squeezing the territory of the Gentleman Civilization into the upper part of the isosceles triangle.

In the middle of the sandbox, there is a large dark area with six city models placed on it.

"I won't elaborate on the importance of this Void Battlefield. After discussion, the Alliance Council is planning to establish a frontline command center, which will be fully responsible for battlefield affairs in the future."

Meng Xingchen motioned for Lin Zhi to find a stool and sit down, pushed a cup of tea over, and continued, "The headquarters will have a chief commander, Zhao Yan, who was sent by the leader's family.

The position of deputy commander is held by Qian Long from the family of the previous leader.

The position of the deputy commander-in-chief is equivalent to that of a member of the Union State Assembly, second only to the 37th member of the Assembly.

Under the chief deputy commander, there are seven commanders whose status is equivalent to that of county councilors.

Except for me, the remaining six people are from the Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang families respectively.

The commander is responsible for following command leadership, participating in military strategy, and directing the operations of his corps commanders.

In this void battlefield, the alliance focused on attacking Qi Yan City and Qi Yao City.

Therefore, outside this system, three sets of executive agencies are set up.

Each executive agency is composed of a logistics department, a defense department, a vanguard department, an intelligence department, and a central army department.

Each ministry has one minister and two deputy ministers, who hold the same rank as government officials. The 30 ministers are also members of various aristocratic families.

Under the minister and deputy minister, there are five departments with 10 executive officers each, who are equivalent to county councilors.

There are three sets of executive agencies, one of which is stationed in the city gate, guarding the rear. The other two are led by commanders and are stationed outside Qiyan City and Qiyao City.

A total of 150 executors, yet to be determined.

According to the opinions of the alliance's top leaders, the next number of parliamentarians will be confirmed based on the headquarters' combat performance.

Therefore I recommend you to run for the Executive Office."

Lin Zhi nodded and asked, "Teacher, how does this election work? What do I need to prepare?"

"Of course it's based on family background and strength!"

Meng Xingchen smiled.

"what?"

Lin Zhi was stunned. Shouldn’t elections be a test of the various legion councils’ ability to handle practical matters?
Wouldn't it be too frivolous to decide directly by strength?

"Therefore, your position as executive officer has been decided, it's just a formality. Don't worry, if there are practical matters you don't know how to handle, you can hire a think tank!"

Meng Xingchen smiled.

"Uh uh..."

Lin Zhi then understood that the so-called strength-based approach did not mean that he had to compete with his competitors, but rather depended on the strength of his teacher.

Yes, in this front-line command center, so many people are from aristocratic families, except the teacher.

This is the benefit of being powerful.

"Which department are you going to?" Meng Xingchen asked again.

"Can I choose for myself?"

The functions of the five departments emerged one by one in Lin Zhi's mind. The Vanguard Department and the Central Army Department were extremely dangerous as they were the departments that directly fought against the enemy, so he would not choose them.

As the department stationed at the Great Wall, it is extremely difficult for the Defense Department to gain military merit, and the risks are not proportional to the benefits.

The logistics department, although seemingly idle, is actually a thankless department.

It seems that only the Intelligence Department is the most suitable.

"Teacher, I want to go to the Intelligence Department. It just so happens that I have grown a set of spiritual plants suitable for collecting intelligence."

Lin Zhi replied.

"Okay, then go to the Intelligence Department and I'll report this position."

Meng Xingchen nodded.

Then, he added, "The Alliance estimates that the battle in the Void Battlefield will take at least years, so there is no need to rush."

……

On the tenth day after Lin Zhi arrived in Guancheng, he met Meng Xingchen again.

Meng Xingchen smiled and said, "The position of executor has been decided. From now on, you will be the executor of the Intelligence Department of the Qiyan City Command."

"Teacher, what about you?"

Lin Zhi asked curiously.

"I and Li Dan of the Li family serve as the commander and deputy commander of the Qiyan City Command.

There are five divisions under your jurisdiction, and you are under the jurisdiction of Lu Zongyuan from the Lu family. Well, you can report this morning!"

Meng Xingchen replied.

"Good teacher."

"Lu Zongyuan is an intelligence expert. You should learn from him carefully."

……

Qi Yan City, twelve miles outside the suburbs.

A small city surrounded by a mechanical Great Wall appeared here, with a total of more than 10 legions, or nearly six million people stationed there.

In addition to the Minister Lu Zongyuan, the Intelligence Department where Lin Zhi worked also had Deputy Minister Fang Ming and nine other people who were from Yu County families.

Lin Zhi knew that these were the "direct descendants" brought up by his teacher Meng Xingchen.

Therefore, when these people saw him, they were very respectful.

As soon as I entered the Intelligence Department, before I had time to say hello, Lu Zongyuan took out a sand table and began to explain it vividly.

"At present, we have known intelligence that there are hundreds of monsters outside Qiyan City, a total of 100 legendary wild monster nests.

There are legendary wild beasts in the nests of these wild monsters.

They merged with the spiritual plants and their combat power far exceeded that of gardeners of the same level."

Lu Zongyuan waved his hand, and a projection of a golden wild boar monster appeared in the air.

"For example, this Swallowing Pig has the legendary spiritual plants Divine Mud Seaweed and Heaven-Swallowing Smile parasitizing on its body, which gives it powerful defense and the magical power of swallowing the sky and the earth."

"For example, this silver wolf has the Frost Moon Jade Cinnamon and the Divine Pueraria root parasitizing on its body, which gives it the powerful bloodline of the Silver Frost Moon Wolf and the ability to reproduce. The entire pack of wolves with legendary physiques are all bred by it."

"Legendary monsters are not scary. What's scary is that these legendary monsters are endless and can be resurrected and refreshed in the same place within a day."

"What's even more annoying is that killing these wild monsters will only yield a large amount of treasure materials after the first kill, but the rewards will become less and less."

"But it's not easy to kill monsters. Even the legend can't guarantee a kill." "But if we leave it alone, it won't work. Because if we want to occupy Qiyan City, we must ensure that all the wild monsters near the city are eliminated."

Lu Zongyuan changed the subject and said, "Of course, the biggest threat is still the Five Mountains Empire and the Gentlemen Civilization.

In the process of eliminating wild monsters, conflicts often broke out between the three of us. Especially near Qiyan City, there were troops from the Five Mountains Empire stationed there, which were very difficult to deal with. We dared not attack Qiyan City easily, fearing that we would become the bride of others. "

"The next focus of our intelligence department will be to explore the strength of the legendary wild beasts in the wild and to investigate the other two civilizations."

"Intelligence about the other two civilizations?"

Soon, Lin Zhi was assigned a task.

However, someone patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "There is no rush to collect intelligence. Our main task is to practice peacefully and get gilded."

After all, collecting intelligence on the other two civilizations is too difficult and unrealistic.

However, Lin Zhi did not think so.

He had no way to deal with the gentleman civilization for the time being, but he still had a way to obtain information about the Five Mountains Empire.

After returning to his residence, Lin Zhi lay down, his consciousness dimmed, and then he appeared in the body of the virtual account "Wang Lu" far away in the Five Mountains Empire.

As a virtual character card, Lin Zhi currently has three small accounts in the Five Mountains Empire.

They did not disappear because they were captured by the player civilization in the copy world, but became independent characters.

Everything was normal before Lin Zhi arrived in front of them, just like a living person.

After Lin Zhi landed, he took over the other person's body.

It's like schizophrenia.

When he woke up, he found himself sitting in front of a white jade round table as big as a basketball court.

A memory that did not belong to Lin Zhi was being slowly read by him.

Taoyuan Continent...

The Battle of Longyuan was lost...

Judgment Day...

Memories gradually became clear in Lin Zhi's mind...

Only then did he realize that the Five Mountains Empire had secretly started a war with another legendary civilization called "Taoyuan Continent".

He looked around quietly and found himself inside a European-style castle.

The magnificent and spacious hall was richly decorated with gold and silver ornaments everywhere, and the ceiling was dotted with gems like stars.

The ground was made of some kind of smooth black stone, and it felt soft and comfortable when I stepped on it.

Opposite him, sitting around a huge white jade round table were twelve new people with different hair colors, eyes, and skin colors, but who all conformed to the aesthetics of the Chinese people on Earth.

This seems to be a meeting from the Five Mountains Empire's expedition to Taoyuan Continent...

At this time, at the round table meeting, an old man said in a deep voice:
"In the battle of Longyuan, the empire lost three legends, 1,300 divine rings, 30,000 holy crowns, and 270,000 purple suns."

The people around were silent, the atmosphere was depressing, and some people buried their heads deeply.

The old man glanced at the other twelve "councillors", sighed, and continued:
"Because of this battle, we lost the city of Longyuan, and the thirty-two cities of Longyuan in the far north were taken back by the dragon clan. The elites of the three clans suffered heavy losses, and even the Xiangyun and Yin'er clans were almost wiped out!"

"Damn it, the dragon clan is too cunning. Long Batian was really careless this time!" A bald muscular man cursed.

"Careless? Haha, if it weren't for Long Batian's greed and recklessness, how could he have fallen into an ambush and lost the city of Longyuan?" A feminine-looking man with long hair sneered.

"It's too late to say this. Long Batian has already paid the price with his life. It may take the Muguang family fifty years to recover." said a white-haired old man.

"Okay, let's discuss how to resolve the next crisis and the compensation issue for the Yin'er and other families!"

……

The meeting continued, but Lin Zhi was digesting Wang Lu's memories and didn't hear much of the meeting content.

I don’t know how long it took, but all the big and small issues were discussed and decisions were made one by one.

Finally, the old man who presided over the meeting concluded, "My Five Mountains Empire is fighting on multiple fronts, and the Void Battlefield is also consuming a lot of energy.

It is no longer possible to conquer Taoyuan Continent by force.

However, our intelligence investigation revealed that the dragon clan has no concept of civilization.

These greedy dragons are selfish and cunning, and they value treasures and beauty. We decided to form an alliance with the dragon clan.

This time, the top leaders plan to form an alliance to strengthen their ties with the dragon clan.

Each tribe will select young talents to participate in a marriage alliance next month.

In addition, Long Batian was greedy for merit and acted recklessly, but he has died. The Muguang family lost a half-step epic and was severely damaged. No other punishment will be imposed for the time being. It will be recorded in the book and will be dealt with by future generations after the vitality is restored a hundred years later.

For the families of Xiangyun and Yin'er who were implicated, the command of the "Frost Legion" will be temporarily transferred.

As compensation, there will be 10 years of free assistance of basic materials, priority in conscription, and a -year tax exemption on border maintenance fees.

Any objections to the above? "

Everyone expressed no objection.

"Okay, the marriage will take place in half a month, everyone, please prepare to select the people for the marriage.

Don't blame me for not reminding you all, this is called a marriage, but in reality both parties will form a dragon cavalry corps and go to the void battlefield, so you must not pick on some crooked melons and jujubes to fool around."

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it slowly.

As he finished a cup of tea, his complexion gradually became rosy, and the laws of heaven and earth faintly emerged from his body, and the power of rules was dense.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for making further progress. You are only half a step away from being promoted to epic." Seeing this, everyone hurriedly congratulated him.

"Epic? Haha, just half a step away? Countless legends have been born in civilization, but has anyone ever reached that level?

I can protect the empire for a while, but if humanity wants to advance to epic, it still needs everyone's help. Let's go. I don't want the Battle of Longyuan to happen again in the Void Battlefield."

He waved his hand, and the twelve congressmen sitting behind the round table suddenly disappeared like smoke, as if they had never existed.

……

The meeting was over and Lin Zhi was digesting the information he had obtained.

His nickname is "Wang Lu, son of the right prime minister of the Five Mountains Empire - Taishan Kingdom". His current cultivation has reached the divine ring and he has inherited the position of the right prime minister of the Taishan Kingdom.

Now he is one of the hundreds of high-ranking nobles in the Five Mountains Empire.

The world coordinates of the Taoyuan Continent where he is now come from the dark abyss behind it.

As one of the twelve families of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Wang Lu holds considerable say in this battlefield and temporarily commands the army of the Taishan Kingdom.

Before the Taoyuan Continent, the Dark Abyss also gave the coordinates of a legendary civilization called "Red Moon Continent" in order to invest in the Five Mountains Empire.

Now, in just ten years, the Five Mountains Empire has annexed five legendary civilizations.

And this Taoyuan continent has annexed two civilizations.

Once an alliance is formed with the Taoyuan Continent and the two worlds merge, the Five Mountains Empire is actually only one last world away from meeting the requirements for advancement to epic!
When Lin Zhi learned this information, he was really shocked.

You should know that now in the void battlefield, the Human Alliance has always been an ally of the Five Mountains Empire, jointly fighting against the "seed" gentleman civilization chosen by the player civilization.

The Human Alliance has always believed that the Five Mountains Empire is as harmless as a little white rabbit.

Little did they know that beneath its peaceful appearance, the Five Mountains Empire had quietly become a behemoth.

Among the three civilizations in the Void Battlefield, it seems that the Human Alliance is the weakest one!
Fortunately, now that the coordinates of Taoyuan Continent are known, the Human Alliance has the opportunity to intercept it.

His consciousness left Wang Lu's body and returned to the body of the void battlefield, and hurriedly sent the information he had obtained to Meng Xingchen.

After learning this information, the alliance decided to attack Taoyuan Continent.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the Five Mountains Empire was unable to split its forces, they simultaneously launched a surprise attack on Qi Yan City.
