Chapter: 5084

The first person explained, 'There are a total of 271 people in the Cavalry Guards, divided into three flags: left, middle, and right. Each flag has ninety people, and each flag is further divided into three camps, with thirty people in each camp, and each camp has three teams, with ten people in each team. There is one commanding officer, followed by the three flag leaders, nine company commanders, and twenty-seven team leaders. I am the commander of the middle flag's first company.'"

As he spoke, he continued to introduce himself: "Apart from that, there is also a name of a high-ranking official and five personal bodyguards around him, but they are another system of people, with a much higher status than ours."

Li Ailin asked him, "What is the position of this high-ranking official?"

He replied, "This high-ranking official is the highest commander of the entire base camp, in charge of the life and death power of all personnel within the base camp."

Li Ailin furrowed his brow and asked, "The positions of High-Ranking Official, Commander, and Cavalry Guards seem to be very old-fashioned. What's their origin?"

He explained, "They all come from the military system during the Ming Dynasty."

Li Ailin blurted out, "So your organization is not likely to have been in existence since the Ming Dynasty?"

He said, "Not concealing it from you, as for the dead soldiers who are controlled and enslaved, their history can be traced back at least three hundred years. So, it's possible that the initial establishment of our organization was during the Ming period, but I'm just speculating, and the specific circumstances are unclear to me."

Li Ailin couldn't help taking a deep breath, then he composed himself and asked again: "Do you have any information about this high-ranking official's identity?"

"No," he shook his head and said, "The internal structure of our base camp is extremely strict. Although we Cavalry Guards are higher than the dead soldiers in terms of status, we are still objects subject to control and slavery every day, doing everything according to orders, without knowing the specific identity of the high-ranking official."

Li Ailin pursed his lips again and asked: "If we were to divide based on abilities, which group would have the strongest strength: High-Ranking Official, personal bodyguards, Cavalry Guards, or dead soldiers?"

He thought for a moment and said, "We've never seen the High-Ranking Official or his personal bodyguards take action, but our abilities are generally stronger than those of dead soldiers because we're originally from among them and have managed to break free."

Li Ailin asked him, "Do your Cavalry Guards usually execute missions?"

He replied, "The Cavalry Guards only execute emergency missions."

As he spoke further, he introduced: "Normal missions are usually handled by dead soldiers. We select the dead soldiers in advance to handle missions, then make them deeply unconscious before sending them to the mission location via messenger. However, this preparation time is relatively long, so when a sudden event occurs, we Cavalry Guards take responsibility."

Li Ailin asked again: "Can you describe all the details of this task that you received?"

He thought for a moment and said, "We only received the temporary task a few hours before departure. The High-Ranking Official gave us eight photographs of North European people, and the commander selected our seven members based on the physical characteristics in the photos. After makeup at the copper mine, he led us to fly to Bergen."

Li Ailin suddenly felt uneasy.

He told Ye Cheng, "This organization's structure is extremely strict, and each layer has very good information isolation. Even for Cavalry Guards, they only know everything that happens within their own base camp and some covert operations, but almost nothing else. So, if we want to know more about the situation, we must find out who that High-Ranking Official is."

Ye Cheng nodded and said, "The High-Ranking Official may not have much valuable information either."

Li Ailin suddenly thought of something and asked Ye Cheng hurriedly: "Right, didn't you just say that their internal toxic substance requires regular medication to delay its effects?"

"He nodded slightly: 'You're right.'"

"Li Ailin then asked Five Four Seven: 'Five Four Seven, your people who are living in Sri Lanka nearby also need regular medication, right?'"

"Five Four Seven nodded truthfully: 'Yes, Li Chief.'"

"Li Ailin looked at the Cavalry Guard and asked him: 'The medicine you take every week, is it stored in bulk at the copper mine or does someone come to deliver it periodically?'" JrNovels.com
