711: Chapter 19, Pregnancy_3 711: Chapter 19, Pregnancy_3 Everyone was immersed in joy, so much so that the shadow left by the attack on the migration team was greatly diminished.

If not for Melissa’s prevention, Hudson would have held a celebration.

Having lived twice, it was natural to cherish the birth of his first child.

If it was a boy, he would be the future lord of the Mountain Domain; if it was a daughter, she would be Master Hudson’s treasure.

No matter if it was a boy or a girl, as long as Hudson’s offspring were born, proving the Lord and his wife’s fertility, the hearts of the people in the territory would quickly stabilize.

…

In Bera City, Kevin who had returned home with a body of injuries had a terrible expression on his face.

Due to unexpected accidents, the communication with the undercover agents in the Mountain Domain was temporarily interrupted, which caused a great disaster.

Without timely information exchange, an incorrect judgment was made leading to a carefully planned attack, unfortunately hitting their own people.

What was even worse was that he, as the person in charge, wasn’t wounded by the enemy but was set up by his own people.

The problem was he couldn’t blame them as they didn’t know he was one of them due to his concealed identity.

Such a coincidence really made him feel depressed.

After taking the healing potion, Kevin, who was exhausted physically and mentally, forcefully suppressed his anger.

He glanced at his demoralized men and said resentfully, “Why is everyone silent?

So what if one mission failed?

We can always make up for it from other areas.

Don’t act like your parents died!

Heal yourselves if you are meant to, do the cleanup work if you should.

It doesn’t matter if the actions fail, the organization’s information must be hidden well.”

Although he seemed calm, he was extremely anxious.

He had no way of reporting such a messy failure to the headquarters and he had to deliberately block the news.

Otherwise, when the news reached them, they would perceive Kevin as incompetent, hitting his “own people” even in a carefully planned attack.

“Sir, this incident was completely unexpected.

The enemy’s strength was too overwhelming, otherwise our operation would have succeeded.”

On hearing this explanation, Kevin’s anger flared up again.

This was no accident, he was the one who ordered the retreat.

To frame and deceive the enemy, there needed to be cooperation.

If the spies deployed by the organization were all killed by their own people, who would distract the enemy?

The locals, as long as they investigate in the right direction, would sooner or later find hidden clues.

“Wargolding, are you questioning my leadership ability?”

Kevin couldn’t help but ask.

As the person primarily responsible for the failure of this operation, Kevin didn’t intend to shirk responsibility.

Afterall, there was no need to report such an unfortunate incident, and therefore no need to bear responsibility.

“Sir, I…dare not…I didn’t mean that…”

Glancing at the panicked Wargolding, Kevin no longer felt like pursuing the matter.

He was already considering how to restore contact with the spies dispatched abroad.

In order to maintain secrecy, he had always maintained single-line contact.

Even among the spies, they were not clear about each other’s identities.

The person in charge of intelligence work in the Mountain Domain had an accident half a year ago.

Subsequently, there was a large-scale personnel movement there, and the original contact method was nowhere to be found.

When a large organization develops to a certain extent, it inevitably suffers from dereliction of duty, slacking off, and bureaucracy.

The Clergy was no exception.

After arranging for new contact personnel, they were waiting for the dispatched spies to contact them.

However, these personnel were relocated from the territory and naturally had no chance to meet.

As spies, they must be vigilant.

They had been operating in this way for a long time, if they suddenly changed their work methods, actively reaching out to resume contact, the other party would surely doubt.

If trust was lost, the subsequent collection of intelligence would be a problem.

If not handled properly, their people might be reported by “their own people” as soon as they had approached them.
