In the far east, this uninhabited Gobi area looks particularly desolate. It seems as if it has been forgotten by the world. The earth is exposed and there are many strange rocks. The place you look at is desolate, like a song that has not been sung. The final tragedy, silent and desolate.
The cold winter wind howls from the far north, passing through the devastated Gobi, taking away all traces of life.
Here, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely high!
During the day, even the cold winds from the north in winter cannot cool down the cracked rocks that are burned by the sun; but at night, the bone-chilling rocks can cool down anyone who dares to be unprotected. A lot of people were frozen to death!
But at the same time, the sky here is so beautiful and desolate.
When night falls, the starry sky in this far eastern land is like a crack in the universe. The stars are scattered across the sky, bright and distant... Those stars seem to be telling some ancient legend, while the silent and dark land is Listening silently, deep and mysterious.
This is Stafford, a forgotten desert zone.
But here, under the cracks in the stones, the weak lives are tenacious and unyielding. The silence and vastness of the earth, the splendor and distance of the stars, are intertwined into a silent poem, depicting a desolate and beautiful world.
The headquarters of the organization, Stafford, is located here, deep in a town that has long been reduced to ruins...
As for whether the ruins of the town and the desolate far east are man-made or the miraculous work of nature, it is temporarily unknown.
Anyway!
In the deepest part of the ruin-like fortress, in the cave-like rock hall without much decoration, there are still the top leaders of the organization. They are sitting on the rows of stone chairs, and then He listened condescendingly to the work reports of the agents in black at the foot of the steps.
"oh……"
For a long time, after listening to an important piece of news brought back by one of the agents, the top leaders of that row of organizations first looked at each other tacitly, and then one of them spoke sadly again. Asking and confirming:
"That is to say..."
"Pietta..."
"Are you sure it really fell?"
Anyone could tell that he seemed not surprised by Pieta's fall, but simply wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.
"Yes."
"None of those soldiers escaped. We have completely lost their breath."
"According to observations, Pieta has now become a paradise for the awakened, and some of the awakened have begun to move south."
"It's just that those awakened ones who stepped out of the Northland were divided into east and west parts south of Pieta, and half of them went to the west. I guess they are looking for trouble on the 'Western Leaf Road'?"
"As for the other half..."
"They are heading towards Stafford, our organization's headquarters. The number is estimated to be at least ten. The strength is unknown. Our people do not dare to get too close."
Upon hearing the leader's inquiry, a certain agent who was wearing a black robe but tightly wrapped in a black robe and standing respectfully in the hall certainly did not dare to neglect and hurriedly told everything he knew.
"Yeah?"
"Half of the troops were sent towards us?"
"interesting!"
"That is to say..."
"Isli, maybe you know the existence of our secret weapon?"
Hearing this, the leader who asked the question nodded, then crossed his hands and pondered for a while, and then sighed with a half-smile.
"Not sure yet."
"but……"
"My subordinate feels that even if he doesn't know Alicia's situation, he should know that our organization will definitely make corresponding arrangements for him."
"So, it should be normal for him to respond in advance and send an army of awakened ones to intercept or simply attack directly to test us?"
"With an army of more than ten Awakened Ones, after the organization has lost twenty-four warriors, it might be a perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of it?"
"If the organization's counterattack is not strong enough, I'm afraid, he will definitely send more awakened people, or even come here himself, right?"
After hearing what the leader said, another agent also dressed in black analyzed it honestly and followed the leader's words and expressed some of his speculations.
"Yeah?"
"What a pity, the organization will definitely let him down..."
"Hmph!"
"If Yisli thinks that we have lost those soldiers and have no strength to fight, so we can just let him rub us around, then he is totally wrong!"
"Isn't it?"
"If they want to come, just let them come."
"More than ten awakened ones are already a lot, but they are far from enough to scare us!"
"Jie!"
then!
Just like that, when they heard this, the leaders sitting in the stone chairs on the steps first looked at each other and smiled, and then they spoke to Yisli and those who were heading towards their organization headquarters. The awakened people who came here jeered and laughed, without any intention of taking the threat to heart.
"okay!"
"Those little minions are nothing to be afraid of!"
After laughing for a while, he first extended his hand to signal the rest of his colleagues to stop their unnecessary ridicule for the time being, and then the leader who was sitting near the middle slowly spoke out and asked:
"Let's continue talking about Yisli's movements!"
"he……"
"Where are you now?"
After all, compared to those dispensable awakened ones, the abyssal ones in the north are their biggest concern!
Yisli, the Abyssal One who lives in the north, is also known as the 'Silver King' or 'Isli of the North'. It is said that he has a calm personality and excellent swordsmanship. He is the first and only one to become an Abyssal One. The masculine sword was also the No. 1 choice for the first generation of warriors.
After awakening, its awakened body is in the shape of a centaur. Even among the abyssal ones who maintain large awakened bodies, its size is exceptionally large, with appearance and characteristics similar to that of a centaur.
However, what is inconsistent with other huge sizes is that its speed is also quite terrifying, no slower than the 'Silver-Eyed Lion King' Ricardo under his command!
Moreover, Yisli is famous for his freely changing terror attack methods. His hands can instantly change into various weapons according to the enemy's situation, such as bows and arrows, swords, spears, halberds, shields, etc.
Later, he directly subdued a large number of male awakened people in the north and brought them under his subordinates to rule the north. In addition, he knew the organization very well, so he has always been one of the organization's major enemies.
Because of this, compared to those insignificant awakened ones, even if their number has exceeded ten and are heading towards the headquarters of the Stafford organization in the far east, even if all the soldiers of the organization have been lost. And the new generation of warriors has not yet grown up, but in the opinion of the leader of the organization, it is Yisli who deserves their vigilance and vigilance.
"Report!"
"Currently, Yisli should be still further north, still quite far away from the frontline Pieta..."
"seem……"
"He is slowly heading south at the speed of an ordinary person?"
"And thanks to it, our organization seems to have more leeway in time?"
He was still the agent in black clothes, and he directly told what he knew. After all, intelligence and surveillance of the north was part of his job, and he knew a little more than others.
"Yeah?"
"Well……"
After pondering for a while, the leader, one of the top leaders of the organization, thought for a moment, then continued to speak, looked at another agent and asked:
"What's Alicia's current progress?"
"Your Mightiness!"
"Currently we have not reached 95% of the scheduled progress..."
"Well?"
"Is it still five percent short?"
"Is there no way to make Alicia's progress faster?"
"Sorry, we still need a little time."
"But please don't worry!"
"According to the current progress, we should be able to complete it in time and intercept the group of Awakened troops coming towards Stafford."
"I promise that nothing will go wrong."
"Yeah?"
"That's good……"
"However, let's go as fast as possible!"
"yes!"
"My subordinate understands!"
"..."
In this way, the group of agents in black continued to report their work with the leaders, while continuing to analyze the situation on the continent, and from time to time they told some very secret things, until one person with a head Until the sword warrior with long blond hair and silver eyes strode into the hall and startled them.
"!!"
"Garadia?"
"What are you..."
"??"
Seeing that the unannounced intruder turned out to be Galadia, the agents in black hurriedly stopped reporting and couldn't help but cast surprised and puzzled looks at her.
After all, as a soldier, it is always a sin to break into the meeting hall without permission and then seem to hear something that you shouldn't know.
"snort!"
Seeing that the person coming was the defensive warrior, Galadia, who was ranked No. 3 in the organization and was known as the 'God's Eye'. She was mainly responsible for the internal surveillance of the organization. The leaders were silent for a long time, and then one of them was wearing a gorgeous black robe. The leader of the organization snorted in displeasure and asked:
"It's really rare..."
"You actually took the initiative to organize the headquarters?"
"I remember……"
"Aren't you supposed to be very busy now?"
It could be seen that he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Galadia's arrival, and all four of them could hear the dissatisfaction and sarcasm in his tone.
"It is indeed!"
It's a pity that Galadia didn't give up at all, and actually continued to move forward while sarcastically saying:
"Thanks to you..."
"After transferring half of my companions to the northern land to die, I have been really busy during this period!"
"only……"
"I also want to know what's going on with those soldiers and those companions?"
Obviously, she should have overheard something she shouldn't have just heard. However, even so, she still wanted to confirm and continued to ask, without concealing any of her own emotions in her words.
"they……"
"They've all been wiped out."
"I deeply regret this..."
The leaders of those organizations did not take Galadia's sarcasm to heart. Instead, one of them answered slowly and teased Galadia in a hypocritical tone:
"But don't worry."
"New fighters have been sent to various regions for training. You shouldn't be too busy in the future."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have time to come to the headquarters, am I right?"
While teasing, the leader did not hide his dissatisfaction with Galadia at all, nor did he hide his dangerous and cruel gaze.
Obviously, Galadia must have committed a big taboo by returning to the headquarters without permission and having the guts to come directly to the meeting hall to question them as leaders!
"whispering sound!"
Staring at the leader who spoke without showing any signs of weakness, Galadia continued to question unceremoniously:
"I do not understand!"
"You still let so many soldiers be sent to the North to die..."
"That kind of thing should be a huge loss to the organization, right?"
"You are so eager to eliminate the soldiers who are resistant to the organization, even if they only show signs of that?"
Who were the soldiers who were sent to Pieta in the North, and what they had done? Galadia, who was mainly responsible for the organization's internal surveillance work, could not possibly not know, and this was exactly what she had in mind. One of the reasons why people are increasingly dissatisfied with the organization.
"Please pay attention to the manner in which you speak!"
Finally, after hearing this, the leader of another organization spoke, and half-threatened and half-ordered towards Galadia in a very stern tone:
"Garadia..."
"Don't think your position is unbreakable!"
"Although the 'eyes' of the next generation are already being cultivated and grown, we don't want to lose you yet. You'd better understand the situation."
"Back off."
"This is not the place you should come. Sometimes, knowing too much is not good for you."
"What do you think?"
After saying that, the leader's tone changed, and then he asked directly in a sinister tone.
"..."
Galadia didn't speak, she just clenched her fists and stood motionless in the hall, staring at the guys on the steps who were in high positions and sitting and talking without pain in their backs.
She understood what the man said and knew that the other party could replace her at any time. Once she was replaced, she would end up like the twenty-four companions who were sent to the north. She would definitely be organized in various ways or The excuses will be cleared away, there is no doubt about it!
However, she was not afraid. After all, as she learned more and more inside stories, she was already very, very disappointed with what the organization had done.
"Galadia!"
At this time, before Galadia could say anything more, the agent wearing black clothes, a black hat and sunglasses, Claire's exclusive agent Lulu, walked out and sneered. He looked at Galadia with that inexplicable expression and advised him in a sinister manner:
"Let's go back……"
"Take back your boring sympathy..."
"Go back to the area you are responsible for!"
"It won't do you any good if you continue to make trouble!"
He didn't mean well, he just didn't want to see blood in this place. After all, Galadia was still somewhat useful, and it wasn't to the point where it needed to be replaced.
"!!"
"snort!"
Although Galadia wanted to say something more, she knew that it would be useless to say more. She knew that those twenty-four companions had been used as pawns and abandoned by these bastards. Knowing that it would not help, she thought for a moment and then I had to turn around resolutely in frustration and strode away with a puff of sleeves.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, the leaders and agents didn't speak, they just stared coldly at her as she strode away.
"Tsk!"
"It seems that the new 'eyes' need to be trained as soon as possible."
"Garadia..."
"Although she is excellent, but..."
"It's a pity that she lived too long."
"And once you live for a long time, you will have thoughts that are not beneficial to the organization..."
"really!"
"She knows too much, find a suitable time and deal with her!"
"Just right!"
"It's almost time to replace all the soldiers from the previous period."
"Hey!"
"after all……"
"The best warrior is the warrior who sacrifices his life for the organization within the appropriate cycle at the right time!"
"Hehehehe..."
"That's right!"
"But there's no rush now, let her use her last remaining energy first!"
Shortly after Galadia left, and after confirming that she could no longer hear her, the leaders continued to discuss for a few words, and then easily decided Galadia's final fate in a few words. It was obvious that they really had no intention of doing so. Don't keep her any longer.
"..."
In this regard, the agent Lu Lu didn't say much, let alone express any objection.
He just pushed up the sunglasses on his nose with a half-smile, and then looked away from the direction Galadia had just left.
"correct."
"still have a question."
"It is said..."
"The little girl who often caused trouble for us seems to have appeared again near the border with Northland."
"Moreover, her bodyguards have actually grown from the original two to twenty-six, and they are all female warriors who wear golden and red full-body armor and can kill demons?"
"How are we going to deal with it?"
At this time, after the discussion on Galadia's matter was completed and her treatment was decided, one of the organization leaders suddenly brought up another matter.
And it is not difficult to judge from the situation he explained. It seems that... the organization has also been keeping tabs on a certain troubled little girl?
"Disposal?"
"Why dispose of it?"
"The trouble we are facing right now should be the Yisli of the North heading south and the two Abyssal Ones who are acting strangely, right?"
"What if the three of them join forces, we will definitely suffer!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the issue raised by the leader was refuted by another person.
"Isn't it?"
"Anyway, that little girl is on the opposite side of the demon. Although I don't know where she comes from and why she has such a strong private armed force, but..."
"So far, apart from causing us some minor troubles and affecting the income of some areas, she doesn't seem to have done anything special, right?"
"On the contrary, she has solved a lot of troubles for us recently!"
"really!"
"The focus of our current work should be on the 'Isli of the North' and the deployment and training of the new generation of warriors. That is the top priority!"
"Well……"
"I also think that after the current predicament is resolved, the best thing to do is to free up our hands to conduct further investigation and countermeasures against her?"
"That……"
"Just ignore her for now?"
"We can't just let it go!"
"I suggest you keep an eye on them for now and pay close attention to their movements, as long as she doesn't come to hinder us?"
"Understood."
"Just do it!"
In this way, after the organization's senior staff in Stafford, the organization's headquarters, ended the issue of a certain little girl, they continued to discuss with the agents the turmoil caused by the "Isli of the North" going south and the conflicts in the south and west. They began to discuss and analyze the unusual movements of the Abyssal Ones.
As for a little girl who wandered around with her men, and then helped the villages and towns kill demons for free, as well as the powerful golden-armored guards who appeared under the little girl's subordinates out of nowhere, that's all for now. They put it aside.
After all, what the leader of the organization just said was right. Compared with the "Isli of the North" who was imminent and had unknown intentions, and even sent some awakened people to come to the far east to cause trouble for them, compared with the "Isli of the North" who once For the strongest awakened male warriors, the behavior of some people causing trouble in some areas and affecting the income of the organization is nothing more than a minor scabies disease.
Anyway, that’s what they all think.
At least, for now?
