Late at night, Elvis sat alone in the simple and spacious living room of his home in a daze. His children and partner all slept peacefully, but he himself once again suffered from insomnia.
"You should cheer up, instead of being so distracted like now, it's easy for others to detect abnormalities!!"
A magnetic voice suddenly came from the darkness in the corner. Elvis, who was already nervous, was startled. However, he was able to control his emotional fluctuations in an instant. The owner of this voice It was too familiar to him.
Elvis cast his eyes toward the chimney leading to the outside from the corner closet. It was the direction from which the sound came, and it was also the favorite spot of his shady friend.
"If you dare to act now, aren't you afraid of being discovered and then both of us being dragged out and chopped up alive?"
Elvis's tone was cold, full of resentment and fear. The scenes from the past few days once again appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel nervous and worried.
"Haha, don't worry. Since you were not arrested in the previous operation, it means that your identity has not been exposed, so your worries are completely unnecessary."
The owner of the voice still didn't show up, which showed that he was still very cautious. However, after he said these words of relief, Elvis's face softened somewhat.
"Next, your task is to remain silent. I will contact you once a year from now on. At that time, you can just sort out the information on the Green Field Tribe's army this year and hand it over to me. At other times, you can follow your instructions. Live your own life."
"This time the spies placed by the Kingdom in the Green Field Tribe were completely wiped out. The Namur Fortress was not spared either. You can be said to be the Kingdom's only eyes and ears in the Green Field Tribe. So for your safety. , Unless it is an emergency, I will not give you any more tasks at other times."
After hearing what his companion said next, Elvis felt naturally better, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"That's good, that's good!!"
Elvis's identity is different from other goblin spies in the Green Field tribe. He has been half a spy since he was born.
When Elvis's grandfather, Charles, was young, he was a spy placed by the Elf Kingdom in the Oak Merchant Group, responsible for monitoring every move of the Thornburg branch of the Oak Double Group. Later, as the green tribes near the Tagan Desert began to emerge, Elvis's grandfather happened to have studied for a period of time under the dwarf appraiser Ferroc. After Ferok's death, he took advantage of the situation and joined the Green Field Tribe.
The level of civilization and living conditions of the Elf Kingdom itself are naturally more attractive to the wilderness natives, and Ciel was saved by the Elf Kingdom back then, so he was completely willing to serve the Elf Kingdom. In the following years, Ciel stayed in the Green Field Tribe for the rest of his life. With the education he received in the Elf Kingdom and his status as a student of Ferok, Ciel and his descendants were able to completely establish themselves in the Green Field Tribe. Heel, for generations goblins have held mid- to high-level positions in the tribe.
However, Xiao Xiel began to subtly teach his children about his past and the kindness the Elf Kingdom had given him. In addition, the Elf Kingdom saw the Green Field tribe becoming more and more powerful. Allen, the legendary leader, was in the north. As his reputation became more and more famous, he paid more attention to this neighbor who was not a close neighbor. As a result, he increased the treatment of the high-ranking chess pieces of the Green Field tribe in the Ciel lineage. Therefore, it is logical that Elvis is now He became the most important eyes and ears of the Elf Kingdom in the Green Field Tribe.
After a long, long time, there was no sound from the closet, and Elvis knew that his contact person had left, and his mind returned to the safety of himself and his family.
"Such a big thing happened in the town this time. As the mayor, I am here to make a self-examination and bear the main responsibility!!"
Trick, who has gradually entered the threshold of old age from middle age, is now acting more and more dignified. Although his personal strength has not improved much in these years, his prestige and leadership in the town are beyond the reach of Patriarch Allen. Don't think about it as a third person.
At the town's monthly meeting, Trick spoke with a serious face. Below him were dozens of backbone managers from the town sitting in groups, making the conference hall of hundreds of square meters seem a bit crowded. The population of the town is approaching one hundred thousand. If the population of several satellite strongholds such as Riptide Bay and Muma Slope is included, there are even more than hundreds of thousands of goblins, which has expanded the backbone of Green Lake Town's middle and low-level managers. Several times the size.
"Over the years, I and all of you managers here have inevitably become a little complacent with the status quo!! Especially since you all have fixed positions and responsibilities, and the subordinates you promoted are all your own people, and you have to follow the example of others to make those at the bottom Those guys are now so bold and lazy in their work..."
"So taking advantage of this action, I plan to change everyone's positions, and then reorganize the management rules from top to bottom!!"
"What do you guys think?"
In this arrest, in addition to the group of spies who were executed, Green Lake Town also arrested a group of people who embezzled family property, accepted bribes, and other things that harmed the interests of the ethnic group. Among them, those who committed serious crimes were directly sent to the execution stand together with the group of spies. The only difference may be that their families were not affected, unlike the spies whose entire families were sent to the West Mansa Quarry. Zhongchong worked as slave labor.
The rest, with relatively minor crimes, were either sent to do hard labor in quarries for decades, or were stripped of their power, confiscated their family property, and became ordinary poor members of the clan again.
"...Mayor, many positions require different professional knowledge. If we change the rotation rashly, there will definitely be problems in management!!"
Some people will definitely disagree. After all, everyone has been operating in their own positions for a long time, and most of the goblins under them are their confidants, or they have been promoted by themselves, and they can basically obey their management. Now that Trick suddenly said that he wants everyone to change their positions, this will obviously make the supervisors and leaders in the field have to reorganize and manage their connections that have been in business for more than ten or even decades. Naturally, some people will be dissatisfied. .
"Are you so unsure of your abilities? Apart from your current position, are you just a bunch of losers in other aspects??"
Trick had a hint of Allen's power. Although his tone was not very serious, with a few words and a pair of eagle eyes that glanced at the faces of the goblins in the conference hall, most of the supervisors , the leaders all lowered their heads, only a few dozen members still raised their heads and raised their chests to show their support.
"If that's the case, then why should I keep you bastards here? There are so many young and promising people in the clan and there are so many talented people in the academy, so I'm not afraid that you guys will give up and quit!!"
In fact, Trick was not negotiating with these guys at all. As a person in power and decision-maker in the wilderness, he would never let his power fall aside, otherwise he would definitely not be able to suppress this group of tribesmen. As he spoke in a heavy tone, he continued to scan the surroundings with cold eyes. Among the group of middle- and upper-level tribesmen below who were mostly goblins and a few other races, no one dared to look at Trick.
"...How about we talk to Elder Kouer first?"
The hobgoblin leader Marvin slowly raised his head and expressed different opinions under great pressure. He knew that with the strong attitude displayed by Mayor Trik at this time, if he did not speak, others would not dare to speak.
In terms of seniority, Marvin was actually a generation younger than Trick, and his power was not necessarily stronger than that of other seniors. It was not his place to speak out. However, Marvin, who is at the peak of his strength in middle age, has greater confidence, that is, he is the direct student of the elder of the clan, Kerr, and is favored by her most. After all, Marvin is the hobgoblin that Kerr originally liked. Descendants of Patton.
It is this relationship that makes Marvin become a rising young and middle-aged leader of goblins, and he already has his own small circle around him.
"I have already told Elder Kerr about this matter, and she agrees with my way of handling it."
Trick glanced over, and although his tone was indifferent, it still made Marvin feel nervous. The power that Trick had established in the town over the years was not something that a middle-aged goblin like Marvin who had just climbed to the top could do. Competitive.
"……All right."
The momentum that Marvin finally mustered up sank again with Trick's light words.
No one among the remaining management dared to speak, and in the end they could only accept the upcoming arrangements in silence.
"...Brooke was transferred to the position of Director of Logistics of the Defense Forces, and Elvis, the current Director of Logistics, was transferred to the position of Director of the Commercial Department of the Town of Green Lake..."
Elvis, who was the most stable down there, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard his name, then returned to normal and stood up in a deep voice to answer.
This department change happened so suddenly that Elvis was not prepared at all, and even made him feel vaguely uneasy. Compared with his current position as logistics director, the commercial department director assigned to him seems to be a departmental change of the same level, but in fact, there is a huge difference between the two in terms of money and actual power. difference.
Of course, the more important point is that the intelligence of the Green Field tribe that the two positions came into contact with is of great importance. The army's combat readiness is definitely more valued by the Elf Kingdom, and the information on tribal trade is of much importance to the Elf Kingdom. Doesn't seem that important.
However, the uneasiness in his heart, and after seeing the same dissatisfaction in the eyes of his colleagues around him that could hardly be faked, Elvis felt that maybe he was just too nervous. Most of the dozens of colleagues sitting here have rotated their positions, and even the confidants of Mayor Trick have not been left behind. It is obviously not just for him.
Fortunately, this year's Green Lake Town army size and combat readiness data have been sent out. I still have a year to slowly find other ways to collect intelligence, plus a few close people I have deployed in the logistics department, and think about it carefully. I don't think such a transfer issue would cause much trouble to my mission.
"...One last thing, starting from today, our town will launch a rectification campaign, focusing on cracking down on corrupt elements and eliminating lazy administrative behavior in the management system!!"
"... After everyone goes back, you can take advantage of this major management adjustment and take advantage of this rectification movement to clear some vacancies under your new positions and promote your trusted subordinates to help. This can also be regarded as my I’ll help you open new jobs.”
When Trick's voice reached everyone's ears, it sounded relaxed and gentle, but in fact, in the hearts of the group of supervisors and commanders below, with the content contained in these words, they had already begun to understand. A shocking wave has arisen.
It turns out that in addition to the transfer of middle and high-level people like them, various positions at the middle and lower levels will inevitably undergo a major rectification after Trick's words. The supervisors and commanders who have changed their positions will definitely take advantage of this time. The so-called rectification movement cleans out the original subordinates in their new positions and replaces them with members they trust.
However, it is certainly impossible to bring all the former subordinates of the supervisors and commanders here to continue to follow him. Firstly, they are in different positions and require different professional knowledge. Secondly, these subordinates may not be willing to leave their original positions. , go to a new position and try again. After all, many middle managers are quite old and they really don’t have that kind of aggressiveness and fighting spirit.
"City Lord, I heard that there is a so-called rectification movement in Green Lake Town recently. Several high-level managers and dozens of leaders have been ousted and become ordinary goblins."
As a long-standing competitor, although the Namur Fortress managed by Facardo was thousands of miles away from Green Lake Town, his eyes and ears had never strayed from Green Lake Town. Soon after the rectification movement began in Green Lake Town, Namur Fortress Fortress Detris has obtained the most detailed information and reported it to the city lord Facardo.
"Rectification movement?? What else is he doing?"
Fakado's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked sleepy, but in fact his expression was full of seriousness.
Although he was about the same age as Trick and was already approaching old age, the habits he had cultivated over the years made him immediately interested when he heard about things in Green Lake Town.
"I heard that they are rectifying the illegal and illegal members in Green Lake Town and cleaning up those who do nothing and embezzle money."
"Oh? Then tell me, how does the situation in our city compare with that in Green Lake? Do we need to carry out such a rectification?"
Fakado slowly opened his eyes and asked his most trusted confidant.
"This... obey the city lord's instructions in everything!!"
Tris looked a little embarrassed. He really didn't have much say in this issue. If Facardo hadn't considered it for the sake of their long-term friendship, he might have treated Trick, a corrupt person, when he was handling the espionage case. It was handled easily.
"Do you follow my instructions?"
Fakado's eyes flashed coldly, as if he had already made a decision. When he raised his head again, he looked at Tris with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"We can't fall behind this guy Trick. It's time to rectify these bastards in the city."
"I'll leave this matter to you. Can you clean up those ugly things?"
"ah?"
Tris was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded with determination: "I will definitely do it."
"Remember to take Rocks and the others with you and let him learn from you."
Fakado nodded with satisfaction, took out a document and handed it to Tris: "The goblin talents above are the hope for the future of our Muir Fortress. If there are suitable vacancies during the reorganization, we will place them there." Get inside, it’s time to get them some exercise!!”
"clear!!"
After hearing Rocks' name, Tris quickly realized that the city lord was paving the way for his descendants!
Bugbear Rocks is Fakado's second son. Compared to the eldest son Ilya, who is dull and martial, the second son Rocks has completely inherited Fakado's talent in wisdom, plus he has been strict with him since he was a child. Despite the harsh education, Locks had high expectations from Facardo.
Although the power to choose the leaders of the two important places in the clan has always been in the hands of the clan leader, Allen, Facardo still believes that his children have a great chance of inheriting his mantle and becoming the next choice for the city owner. What Locks lacks now may be the practice of his management skills. At the same time, he also does not have his own team and connections.
Facardo believes that Green Lake Town in the west is cleaning up the middle and low-level leaders in the town this time, probably to pave the way for his successor.
