CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT On the eve of battle

Sometimes, happiness comes too suddenly, causing people to lose their cool!

It was just like how Ling Feng was only concerned about the value of the three items that Qian'er had refined. He didn't notice that the image of him as a peeping Tom was already deeply engraved in the little maid's impression!

Although the name 'Peeping Tom Set' was rather vulgar, three items were rare and top-notch. Whether it was its practicality or value to a faction, it was far superior to that so-called 'masterful magic treasure'!

Moreover, Ling Feng was currently building up his own intelligence agency and assassination team. This made these three items seem even more precious!

Many years later, when Ling Feng's intelligence department and his assassination team had already become the peak forces of the God Demon Continent, perhaps no one would know that this special equipment that Ling Feng's assassination department had repeatedly refined was actually for peeping purposes!

Creating an intelligence agency and killer army was not something that could be done overnight! Unlike the Blood Wolf Army, these two departments needed to invest a large amount of manpower and material resources. Only through continuous development could these two departments be formed!

For normal subordinates who were battling, all they needed to do was subdue a few subordinates and give them cultivation techniques. After a short period of training, they would be able to form a combat squad! Just like Ling Feng's Blood Wolf Army, it only took them a few short months to reach an extremely powerful level!

However, intelligence and assassination were different. Strength was secondary to them. Skills and tact were more important! As a member of the dragon group in his previous life, Ling Feng had some unique insights into intelligence agents and killers, which was different from this world!

Especially for the intelligence department, not only did it need a large number of intelligence personnel to gather all sorts of information, it also needed professional analysts to analyze and organize all the information, and finally obtain useful information!

This process might sound simple, but every piece of information required a huge amount of manpower and resources. There would even be a large number of intelligence personnel who would be willing to throw their lives away! There was an even more important point, which was the secrecy of the intelligence agents, detection, counterdetection, concealment, and so on!

He needed to learn a little of these skills before he could cultivate an intelligence agent! However, Ling Feng did not need to bring an intelligence team, but a group of them! Even tens of thousands of intelligence agents...

Assassin back! First of all, assassins and assassins were two completely different occupations. Assassins were born to eliminate their target, and in order to kill their target, it was very common to lose one's life. If they didn't succeed, then they would die!

Assassins, on the other hand, would try to assassinate someone for their own benefits. Assassins usually pursued benefits. Between benefits and life, they usually wouldn't give up their lives in exchange for benefits!

And Ling Feng wanted to be neither of these two. Even though the first kind had the determination to go forward head-on and vow to accomplish his goal, Ling Feng could not just let those painstakingly nurtured assassins die for nothing!

Of course, the second type of assassin was not what Ling Feng needed. At the moment, he was too interested in seeking benefits. There was no such thing as loyalty, but what Ling Feng valued the most was loyalty. If a person could not be loyal, even if she was strong, she would only be a fleeting dream!

In fact, in some organisations, even a subordinate who was not loyal enough would suffer a backlash at the most crucial moment! This kind of damage was usually stronger than the enemy's!

What Ling Feng needed was to get rid of all his enemies and assassins that obstructed him ? However, it was not easy to nurture an assassin, as the killer's loyalty alone was very difficult to achieve. There were also many assassination techniques and hidden abilities that required a long time to nurture in order to produce a loyal assassin!

Right now, in Ling Feng's hands, besides the brothers of experts and the newly subdued Lu Tianji, there were only forces like the Blood Wolf Army led by Zhao Zhong! At first, Xue Shuai and Qingshan were good helpers, but now, they are no longer by Ling Feng's side!

Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Ling Feng to start by setting up his intelligence department and his assassination team. He needed helpers and no talents!

However, this did not dispel Ling Feng's determination to build up both the intelligence department and the assassination department!

Ling Feng would take the treasures from Qian'er and place them in front of the Gao brothers and Lu Tianji to discuss how to make use of these three treasures!

"Do you have any ideas?" Ling Feng asked the trio, but his eyes were focused on Lu Tianji. After all, Gao Yan and Gao Jian did not have much talent in this aspect! However, in terms of fighting and leading, they were naturally blessed with talent and advantages!

"Although these three items look a little strange, they have extraordinary value. If they are used properly, it will definitely have an unexpected effect!" Lu Tianji said, "These are extremely useful for scouting, poking, and investigating enemies!"

Lu Tianji was indeed worthy of being called a think-tank. With just a few glances, he was able to guess just how valuable these things were! At the same time, he offered a lot of constructive suggestions!

After some discussion, Ling Feng decided to gather some of the more quick-witted people within the city guards and the unemployed youths within the city and set up an intelligence unit. Those people then became Ling Feng's first batch of intelligence personnel!

This time, a total of more than three hundred people were gathered. Most of them were young men who owned properties in the Gold Gathering City. They were usually wandering around the city, looking a little like hooligans!

And the mission that Ling Feng had given them, a portion of them would go to the vicinity of the Gold Gathering City to spy on them, if there was any unusual activity, they would have to report it! There was also a group of people who stayed in the Gold Gathering City to monitor the city's every move and report it to the higher ups!

Although these things did not seem to be of any use, or even a little superfluous, to these intelligence personnel who had just joined, they were able to quickly grow. Moreover, it was precisely because what they did was of no importance, so Ling Feng did not need to worry about leaking secrets!

What he needed to do next was to select the truly outstanding intelligence personnel within the intelligence squad formed by the city guards and hooligans. That was the intelligence department that Ling Feng needed to set up!

Assassins had even less of a chance. The safest way was to adopt orphans and raise them to be elite assassins! This was also the way most of the forces on the Divine Demon Continent raised up assassins!

However, assassins can't learn and improve at the same time as intelligence agents! Thus, the killer that trained Ling Feng was someone who could not see the results of the early stages, and could only rely on time to slowly cultivate him!

Just like this, the two forces under Ling Feng's command finally had a basic foundation! Although they were just a group of 300 plus delinquents with dozens of orphans, they were the people that Ling Feng would have to rely on in the future!

The rest of the time was relatively peaceful. The Qingfeng Stronghold seemed to have suffered a loss due to their mumbling, and did not move at all! However, Ling Feng knew that this was only the calm on the eve of the storm.

However, on this day, a message suddenly came: There is movement at Qingfeng Stronghold's side, and it is a big one at that!

From time to time, there would be people from the Qingfeng Stronghold near the Gold Gathering City. The inevitable battle was about to begin!
