"So far, according to statistics from six camps, there have been at least eleven batches of super butchers in the wasteland. Due to these butchers running around, nearly thirty bonfires have been extinguished, which is a serious loss for Heike. The camp cannot take care of every corner, and the campfire plays a very important role here. We will never deny the contribution of these black engravings. Today, some leaders have tried to contact the Super Butcher and fight with it, but the situation is not Not optimistic - Super Butcher already has the strength to compete with the leader in one-on-one."
Hengfeng's words caused a murmur of murmurs.
"But fortunately, these super butchers are just stronger individuals, and they have not accumulated to the level of qualitative change. At this time, we believe that a thorough cleaning must be carried out and the strongest strength of each camp must be gathered. But you We must not underestimate them because of this. In fact, the Porphyry Camp was attacked by a super butcher before, which also caused them heavy losses." After Hengfeng finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the group of six people who were wearing a patchwork coat. A man in a cloak at the rock camp.
This was a tall, thin man with red hair. His age could not be discerned. He stood up and looked ashamed: "Although this is a bit embarrassing to say, the Porphyry Camp was indeed attacked by the Super Butcher a few days ago."
This time, the uninformed Heike people were a little confused. It was not surprising that the campfire was extinguished. It was acceptable for the leader to suffer a loss if he thought about it carefully. But the fact that a camp could be raided and suffered heavy losses made people have to be more vigilant. After all, the power usually retained in the camp is not ordinary.
"Can you please elaborate?" someone shouted.
"The leader from Anvil has said it before, and I would like to add that one of the characteristics of the Super Butcher is collective action, so we mentioned 'batch' before and not individuals. The last Super Butcher that attacked our camp There are six in total, three of them have been killed and three have escaped, which is not a good sign.”
Butchers are not like Hei Ke who can weigh the outcome. Generally, the butchers Hei Ke encounters are the type who will fight to the death. Escape is simply unheard of. If you are a kid, this is still possible.
"We can only think that the process of becoming stronger butchers also involves learning to assess the situation." A graceful female leader said, "If they start to learn tactics and start to use their own characteristics to carry out sneak attacks and assassinations, then we will Their advantage will be wiped out, and for a long time no camp will dare to let teams of less than five people go out at will."
"Because of this." Another bald leader said in a loud voice, "We want to kill those super butchers and reduce the deaths of our companions! This time is a joint decision of the six camps. On this plan, we will Abandon some of the conflicts between camps, reorganize the inspection, combat and auxiliary teams of each camp, form several or even dozens of crusade teams, and kill all these super butchers before they become a force!"
His voice obviously had some agitating power in it. Lu Ning could vaguely feel that she wanted to feel excited, but unfortunately it was completely suppressed.
Just as the black knights began to discuss this decision, the door suddenly opened, and the light shone into the castle from the outside. It looked pale but dazzling, and everyone turned their heads in an instant.
The leaders obviously did not expect that someone would suddenly interrupt the Heike meeting, and they all stood up and looked at the door.
There were three people there, all wearing white luxurious ceremonial robes, with Mist text embroidered in gold thread on the windless ribbons, and holding long staffs of different shapes in their hands. All three people closed their eyes tightly, but there was no difficulty in walking at all. Seeing these three people, Hei Ke behind them almost unconsciously moved out of the way.
"Mist's... foreign affairs officers, hello." Hengfeng looked a little bad. When he saw these three people, he already had some bad premonitions.
"Leader Hengfeng, Leader Obsidian, Leader Zhining, Leader Qinglin, Leader Blazing Flame, Leader Lead Pill." The foreign affairs officer in the middle nodded to the representative leaders of the six camps one by one, and then took out a letter from his arms. .
"Mist rarely gives direct orders to Hei Ke." Obsidian from Porphyry Camp said, "Why did you suddenly appear here today?"
"Of course it's because of this meeting." The foreign affairs officer said gently, "We will indeed not put too much control on the actions of the Heikes, and we will also coordinate with you from many aspects on the supply of various materials, but usually There are always exceptions.”
"There have been several Black Carving meetings, but no nobles have ever intervened." Qing Lin, the gray-robed leader of the Dragon Bone Camp, said in a deep voice.
"If you are very dissatisfied, please allow us to express our apologies, but our foreign affairs officers only follow orders..." The foreign affairs officer smiled bitterly, "And I haven't said anything yet."
"I can imagine it."
The one who spoke out was the leader of Breakpoint Camp. He looked the youngest among the six leaders, but there was no way to tell his actual age. He was more straightforward than anyone else: "You want to dissolve this meeting and annul our decision, right? If that's not the purpose, let us just let nature take its course. After all, the Heikes basically support this decision. of."
The foreign affairs officer was silent for a second or two this time before speaking: "In general, that's the case."
The people in the hall immediately exploded, and some even started to curse. Lu Ning suspected that if it weren't for the foreign affairs officer's strength, this group of black men would have killed three people on the spot.
"Everyone be quiet!" The bald man, the Blazing Leader, yelled, suppressing everyone's voices, and then asked the foreign affairs officer in his extremely intimidating voice: "What's the reason? If the nobles don't give us anything The explanation requires us to wait for death like this, then we will choose the one that is easier to accept among the deaths!"
The foreign affairs officer's expression was a little embarrassed, but Lu Ning couldn't see any panic on their part, they just felt a little embarrassed.
"If you need a reason...the nobility needs a super-butcher."
"What kind of bullshit is that?"
"We don't know exactly what the reason is that makes it necessary to retain the Super Butcher. It's just that compared to other large-scale events, the dismal mist is more widespread but less harmful. If you can't fight it, I think you should avoid it. It should also meet the requirements of the nobility.”
"Hide away? How long until they come out and kill us all?"
The foreign affairs officer sighed.
"It won't take long. I promise you, if you are still dissatisfied, we can define a range. Only within this range you cannot hunt those super butchers, and once they leave, we will not hunt them down." How about intervening?"
Chi Yan's expression improved a little now. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhi Ning: "So, Foreign Affairs Officer, how big will this area be? Do we all have to evacuate this area? Will our evacuation be enough?" Make the butchers in this area return to the outer city?"
"...They can't go back to the outer city."
"The Butcher will keep chasing us, won't he? If we all leave, then the Butcher will definitely leave with us. This range is of little significance and cannot achieve your purpose of retaining the Super Butcher."
Zhi Ning tapped his fingers on the table: "You hope that we will not notify any campfires, just evacuate the camp quietly, use those campfires to raise super butchers, and finally achieve your goal - but why should we help you to harm your compatriots? Woolen cloth?"
"I'm sorry, that's the order." The foreign affairs officer shook his head, "If you object, we also need to take some measures that are not good for us."
"No, we will do what the nobles want." Qianwan sneered, "This is for survival, foreign affairs officer, please don't worry. But since such a request is made, you should also know what the consequences will be. This has nothing to do with Heike.”
"Of course." The foreign affairs officer nodded, "I'm sorry to make you feel unhappy."
"If you were sorry, you should have left and defined the area for us. And we won't wait too long. After all, there is no room for so many super butchers in this wasteland."
"Please allow me to excuse myself."
The three foreign officers bent slightly, then turned and walked out of the castle.
After they left, the place became chaotic again.
"Leader! Do we really want to obey such an outrageous order?"
"Send farewell to Hei Ke and die? Our relationship may not be very good, but it can't reach this point, right?"
"Bonfires are also indispensable in the wilderness!"
The six leaders let the crowd chatter. They looked at each other, whispered a few words, and then waited for everyone's emotions to calm down.
"The premise of everything is that the black engraving is a tool to deal with the butchers born in the bleak mist. Compared with other large-scale events, the bleak mist has obvious periodicity and low threat, which allows us to serve as regular guards. Existence." Qianwan said, "But don't think that the nobles really don't have the means to deal with the butchers. After all, we are just regular troops."
"Are you saying that because we can't resist, we have to accept it?" someone asked.
"We must first consider our own camp." Qianwan glanced at the crowd, "I think most of the people here are not as many as the Mist foreign affairs officers I have come into contact with. They are a group of people who are willing to equal positions no matter how weak you are. People who have discussed various solutions with you carefully, but once they are forced to use force to solve the problem, there will be no room for change. In view of the situation just now, I still think it is better to send them away first. "
A group of people who are polite before fighting? Lu Ning thought of the foreign affairs officer Sacrifice. The acting styles of foreign affairs officers from different nobles were quite different.
"So what should we do now?" This time the question was asked by a captain on the stairs above.
"We've got roughly enough conditions."
Following these words, a guard outside the door walked in, holding a scroll in his hand and said: "Chiefs! This is what the foreign affairs officer just said to give to you."
Qing Lin made a casual move, and the scroll flew from the guard's hand to their table and opened automatically.
"The next step is to make overall arrangements. Thirty days is not a long time. Of course we can't let our compatriots in Bonfire become bait, so the solution is to guard here in shifts." Lead Pill looked at the leaders and said, Feng and others also nodded.
"The plan has been modified. We cannot take the initiative to defeat the Super Butcher, but we can switch to passive counterattack. The foreign affairs officer has given a reminder. Since they will not notify Bonfire, it means that Bonfire does not need to follow this order. We will replace Bonfire with an elite team. Our compatriots will take shifts every once in a while, and once a super butcher attacks, counterattack to kill them."
"What a great idea!" Blazing Flame shouted, "Didn't Porphyry kill three of us before? They didn't say we couldn't fight back when we were attacked!"
"But the people on duty have to work harder. Passive counterattacks are much more tiring than taking the initiative, and the level of danger is also higher. After a mission, we will arrange a longer rest for everyone. In an emergency, nobles intervene again. This is just a helpless decision." Qing Lin sighed.
"Another point is that you will lose the support of the leader." Qianwan looked at the crowd below, "The foreign affairs officer did hint that this kind of loophole could be exploited, but the leader represents the camp and has a different identity from ordinary people. Although the camp said It’s not necessary to move out, but there’s no reason for leaders to go to the bonfire… We need to make these arrangements appear reasonable.”
"Next...the original team composition plan of the expedition team remains unchanged. We will still form a team for you. Considering the coordination problem, familiar people will be arranged together, with ten to twelve people in each team." Hengfeng shot He clapped his hands and said, "We will announce the preset list. After that, you will have the opportunity to deploy according to your own requirements, with combat effectiveness as priority. No matter what personal grudges you have, you must put them aside now."
Lu Ning's group was easy to handle. After all, as a newcomer, her group did not have the same personal problems as before. The six people plus Alex were quickly paired with the other four people. Of course, it is also because newcomers are easily assigned, so it is impossible for these people to be assigned to Kuzumi Heima's group of tourists.
Two of the remaining four are from Breakpoint, one is from Fireweed, and one is from Dragon Bone. They have no objections to the huge "anvil force" in this team. It is enough to introduce each other's names and specialties.
The two members of Breakpoint are brothers, Qiao Hang and Qiao Eucalyptus. They are very good at long-range firepower. Compared with auxiliary support gunners like Alex, they are better at violent output and flexible. Gordon of Fireweed is a control mage who is also good at melee combat. Nancy of Keel is a balanced mid-range and short-range fighter, with a variety of weapons on her body.
After a little discussion, the grouping there was quickly finalized. The Heikes didn't hesitate much when it came to such an important matter. Except for those who really didn't want to be in a group, everyone else quickly formed a team.
"Then... Next we will select about fifteen groups of people to spend the first eight days in the wasteland. Since they have no experience, this group is also at the highest risk. We give priority to the principle of voluntariness." Hengfeng said again. said.
