855: Chapter 54: The Nature of Dead River Armament (6700)_2 855: Chapter 54: The Nature of Dead River Armament (6700)_2 Compared to the Abode Tribe, whose course of action could basically be determined, Nemo thought it was still necessary to pay more attention to Ian, the unpredictable factor.

Although many scouts and informers in Xiawei Territory had been purged, there were still some deeply hidden agents lurking…

They should be able to do something.

Nemo believed that things weren’t that bad yet…

There was still a chance to reverse the downturn.

The man slowly placed the report in his hands on the table, closing his eyes.

“It’s time to give Dragon Group a new mission.”

In another meeting room, a report was opened.

“This is the list of spies from Fiery Flame Land.

All of those in the city are here.”

Upon returning to his own domain, Ian went to the City Hall straight away.

He found Old Farrel, who was in the midst of acquainting Scott with the workings of the City Hall, and gave him such a list.

“Hmm…

Lord, the people on this list are no ordinary folks…”

Old Farrel quickly skimmed the list, matched the names with his memory, and couldn’t help revealing a subtly troubled expression: “Many of these people are responsible for actual work within the city…

Their defection proves that Fiery Flame Land’s underground work is very well-done.”

—But corresponding to this, how did their own Lord manage to get hold of this list?

The old man was somewhat puzzled in his heart.

“Let’s go take a look,” Ian naturally wouldn’t say that these people were intentionally placed in certain special positions to report some intelligence to Fiery Flame Land.

Moreover, precisely because they were spies, they worked exceedingly diligently, dared not slack off at work on ordinary days, were trustworthy and reliable, thus never raising suspicion among the people of the domain.

The youngster even made special arrangements to have Scott make these spies do overtime, making them work 996 or even 997, potentially receiving orders for temporary work outside of rest hours, with one person doing the work of three—these individuals dared not protest, they were truly paragons of utilitarian workers.

Of course, in an act of mercy, Ian would regularly pay for overtime, which could be considered a portion of severance meal.

However, given the current state of affairs, it was also time to filter out some people.

To kill a few would actually make Fiery Flame Land trust those who remained even more.

Ian pointed to the list: “Old Farrel, please help me see among these spies, which ones can be spared and wouldn’t cause much damage even if an accident were to occur.”

“If they could even cause harm to Fiery Flame Land in return, that would be even better.”

A rather difficult request.

Yet the old man slightly bowed: “It would be my honor.”

Dazzling Lake, the construction site.

Today there was light rain, and the lake surface rippled slightly with the gentle breeze, while a large area had been cleared at the lakeside, with many workers engaged in construction there, excavating the rock layer, and solidifying the foundation.

Professional craftsmen and construction teams from Silver Bazaar Company had been working for quite some time, and it was fortunate that the surroundings of Dazzling Lake were all rocky terrain, not the usual sandy soil, otherwise, establishing a non-subsiding foundation would be a difficult task.

The light rain didn’t affect the construction; at least in Terra, it didn’t have much of an impact.

Although the construction team still hadn’t grasped the concept of ‘modular construction’ proposed by Ian, they were currently in the early stages of foundation work, so there was no rush for the subsequent main building construction.

Hydroponics Farm…

Although a completely new concept, one could tell what it’s about just from the name.

The construction team was also very interested in this new building, and everyone was highly motivated.

But the workload was also substantial.

They needed to first explore all areas around Dazzling Lake that met Ian’s requirements, then ensure that all the buildings to be constructed and their internal Inscription Arrays wouldn’t interfere or disrupt each other—this was a massive project that had to be taken slowly.

Otherwise, if they had to stop midway and start over, no one would feel it was the Lord who suffered the loss.

The staff from the Xia Hui Domain City Hall coordinated with the construction team, responsible for the team’s meals and taking care of their daily tea and other necessities.

“Supervisor Gama, you’ve come in person today?”

The foreman, communicating with his subordinates about the construction route and material quantities, heard a sound, looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties coming over with a team of carts and horses, and quickly went to greet him.

This Supervisor Gama had slightly plump cheeks and bright eyes, carrying a somewhat stout figure, and he always looked cheerful, inducing an instinctive sense of closeness in others.

Seeing that the construction team was still at work, Supervisor Gama stepped forward to shake hands with the foreman, saying amiably, “Oh, Captain Gera, why trouble yourself?

Working in the rain is inefficient; there is no need to push the workers so hard.”

“When mistakes happen, it’s not only you who will suffer losses, but it also wastes the Lord’s time, and I have to be held accountable as well.”

He turned to the side, raised his hand, showing the team of carts and horses behind him, enthusiastically saying, “I think the rain is about to get heavier; why not let everyone take a break first, have some hot soup, eat some wheat cakes.”

“When the rain stops, you’ll work even harder.”

The team of carts and horses turned out to be the food he had prepared.

The staff from the City Hall opened the rear doors of a carriage, revealing steaming wheat cakes and simmered pork rib bean soup in front of everyone, the aroma of which made even the foreman swallow involuntarily, thanking him repeatedly.

Working for the Nobles, it’s always extremely polarized.

If you’re fortunate to meet someone with a kind disposition, you only need to focus on the job, settle the account steadily, and the pay is often generous.

When facing demanding ones, even being nitpicked is considered fortunate.

Not to speak of the salary, with the slightest dissatisfaction, one might even face a threat to their life.
