The Far East is still a corner forgotten by the world, like a lonely and sick beast, huddled in the cold, desolate and endless Gobi Desert.
There is almost no green here, and traces of life are very rare. Only the tenacious and exposed rocks struggle and collapse silently under the scorching sun during the day and the cold dew at night, vividly displaying the desolate beauty.
Looking around, this land in the far east is like a desolate world at the end of the world, as if it has experienced the baptism of hundreds of millions of years. The bleak north wind and the wild rocks roaring to the sound of the wind seem to be telling people. It's like telling an ancient story.
Here, there are no towns, no hustle and bustle of crowds, and no animals and green forests that can be seen everywhere elsewhere. There are only the unmoving rocks and the whistling wind whispering in the ears, a kind of A silence that transcends time and space envelopes this place, making people feel as if they are in a distant dream.
However, despite the extremely desolate and desolate beauty of the Far East, it still cannot conceal the evil under certain shadows.
Isn’t this?
When the giant swords of Labona City divided into two groups and began to officially sweep the Central Land Circle, and began to declare their force and show their presence, when Galadia, the 'traitor' of a certain organization, was recuperating, and when a certain bad guy... When the little girl in my heart was still wandering around the city all day long and doing nothing, Stafford, the organization looked like a lair full of desolate ruins with broken eaves and broken walls. The top management of the organization and those who had been active Agents from various places gathered together again for a meeting.
"Dear leaders..."
"The soldiers ranked No. 3, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 9 were recovered a few days ago, and they have all woken up this morning."
"but……"
"Unfortunately, the information they can provide is very limited."
"They only said that they encountered the West Leaf Road while chasing the mission target. Then the two sides immediately started a melee, but they were quickly defeated and defeated by it and passed out. What happened next, they It’s unknown.”
"so……"
"As of today, the former No. 3 warrior, the traitor Galadia, is still missing, and there is no more news about her."
In the dark underground hall, a black-clothed agent was giving a report to the top leaders of the organization sitting on the steps and stone seats, roughly describing the events that took place in the west against the traitor Galadia a few days ago. He told him bit by bit what he saw with his own eyes and the information provided by the warriors who woke up.
"That is to say..."
"When you arrived at the scene, you found..."
"As the target of the mission, the traitor Galadia has disappeared. No one is alive or dead, but no body is found, but a large number of body parts on the West Leaf Road remain at the scene?"
"And the soldiers NO.3, NO.5, NO.6 and NO.9 were all seriously injured and unconscious. They were not killed, nor were they taken away?"
After a long time, when the agent in black finished speaking, one of the organization leaders pondered for a while before frowning and asking.
"Yes."
"There were a large number of stumps left on West Leaf Road. We brought some of them back at the time, and later sent more personnel to recover all the scattered limbs."
"The number is huge and shocking. It is completely inconsistent with the situation described by No. 5 Rachel."
"so!"
"Now it is basically certain that most of the stumps were not chopped off by her."
"And given that Galadia was unconscious before the four of them, my subordinates dare to boldly speculate that after the four of them and Galadia were defeated, before preparing to take them away on the West Leaf Road, there must have been a third party. The personnel showed up and resolved the battle within an hour and took away Galadia and even the defeated Lifulu on the spot?”
"As for why they didn't take away our soldiers or be cruel, I don't know for the time being."
Having said this, the black-clothed agent looked up at the leader of the organization who asked. He seemed to be hesitant to speak. However, he hesitated for a moment, and in the end he did not tell anyone more of his thoughts. speak out.
"Yeah?"
"From various signs, it seems that a third party has indeed taken action!"
"and……"
"Although it is not certain whether Lifulu of the West was killed, what is certain at present is that Lifulu should have been defeated by a third party. That is an unquestionable fact."
"What do you think?"
After nodding and analyzing what he thought was a relatively reliable conclusion, the leader of the organization turned his head and looked at the colleagues beside him with a solemn expression.
"It must be that way!"
"Furthermore, there are so many stumps and blood, and according to the description of the scene found at the time, since Livlu didn't even bother to take away the four soldiers, then even if Livlu didn't die, it might have been a tragic defeat?"
"Anyway!"
"Since there is no body of hers at the scene, I still prefer that she should be alive at the moment. This matter is actually not difficult to investigate. Just wait a few days and let our 'eyes' go to the west to verify it.
The leader of another organization nodded, and after confirming the fact that Livlu was defeated, he paused for a while, and then suddenly asked:
"Everyone!"
"Who do you think would do it?"
Although he seemed to already have a certain answer in his mind, he still continued to ask knowingly.
"snort!"
"Who else could it be?"
"There is absolutely no other possibility except for the group entrenched in Labona!"
The next second, another leader, who was wrapped in black cloth and looked like a mummy, spoke cynically and pointed directly at the city he thought was Lapona.
"You should also have received today's information, right?"
"During this period..."
"They sent two teams, one to the west and one to the east, and killed a lot of awakened people and demons in the east and west areas of Yuan Luz in the central land!"
"Count the time..."
"What the missing traitor Galadia, the unknown Lifulu, and those four useless losers encountered must be the team they headed west!"
That's right!
This morning, Stafford received urgent information from the Central Land Circle, saying that the 'Great Sword Judgment Knights' in Rabona were dispatched on a large scale, with nearly 20 teams going respectively. Going east and west, a lot of awakened people and scattered demons were eliminated, which shocked and inspired the towns and villages in that area?
Even during this period, the 'Great Sword' knights had many conflicts with the warriors of the organization, but what made them regretful and shocked was that without exception: all the warriors of their organization were defeated, even though Is it a one-on-one situation and you can't get the slightest benefit?
That kind of thing would of course make them shocked and angry.
Therefore, this meeting was held urgently today. On the surface, it was to discuss Livlu and the former No. 3 traitor Galadia, but in fact, it was to discuss the emerging threat.
Yes, it is a threat!
The one entrenched in the Holy City of Labona, connected with the church, has basically controlled the largest giant city, and its number of people is increasing. Its strength is very terrifying, far beyond the ordinary warriors of the organization, and even to this day. The Knights of the Great Sword Judgment, whose specific origins have not been known until now, have indeed been regarded as a new threat by their organization, which is equivalent to existences like the Abyssal Ones Lifulu and Isili.
"I agree with this."
Then, the leader of another organization also admitted that Rapona and those 'giant swords' had become a thorn in their side.
"You should know that too."
"Shengdu Labona City's originally soft attitude towards the organization and fighters has suddenly become tougher during this period. Their hostility towards our organization is actually very obvious."
"They also wiped out the demons and awakened ones in the eastern towns on the border of our far eastern land, as well as the Croa Town and other places in the west, without charging any fees. Such practices... "
"Compared with the two, I'm afraid it won't be long before all those ignorant people will fall to them, and our organization may also completely lose control of Yuan Luzi?"
"Hmph..."
"Then, I want to..."
"When their numbers increase, and when they completely control Yuan Luzi, our soldiers will be expelled, and we will be compressed in the desolate Far East!"
"By then, it will be too late!"
Then, he worriedly analyzed and deduced some of the worst situations that might happen in the future.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
After hearing this, the leaders of the organizations sitting high on the stone seats on the steps looked at each other in silence, and no one was in a hurry to answer.
Although they all know that what the colleague just said is the truth and is a top priority, based on the current situation, facing the kind of female knight whose individual strength is likely to be stronger than the organized warriors, and given that there are many of them, even reaching To the extent that a team could defeat the 'Abyssal Ones', after careful consideration, they felt that there was really no good way.
Even if their 'Dark Twins' plan has been successful, Alicia and Bissi can exert a terrifying strength that is no less than that of the 'Abyssal Ones' when they cooperate. They are the strongest combat power they can control at present. However, if the two of them were to directly contend with those 'giant swords' whose abilities overwhelm the awakened ones, they would still not have much confidence in their hearts.
"Lulu!"
"You have been in charge of intelligence work in Rapona City. What do you think?"
"Tell me?"
There was silence for a while, and soon, one of the organization leaders looked at the other agent present while hesitating, and asked in an annoyed tone.
"Ashamed!"
"So far, I don't have much clue..."
It seemed that he had expected this, so when he heard that the question finally came to his head, the agent Lu Lu, who was wearing black clothes and black sunglasses, quickly shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do.
"but……"
"As far as I know, there are currently a total of twenty-six warriors in Rabona City, and now twenty of them have gone out, so there are only six left in Rabona City..."
"Maybe……"
"Is this our chance?"
"After all, all the clues currently point to the little girl. Maybe we can take this opportunity to go find the other party and have a good talk?"
But soon, after pushing up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, he spoke out some of his crazy thoughts in a sinister tone.
Of course, it is temporarily unknown as to whether he sincerely advises the organization, or whether he deliberately encourages and instigates the organization to take desperate risks.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, the leaders of the organizations sitting high on the stone seats fell silent again.
There is no doubt that they are not stupid!
They also probably know what Lulu means when he talks about having a good talk with that little girl, and they seem to have that ability now?
but……
Once the determination is made and put into practice, there will inevitably be fierce conflict or even war with the force that has not yet clearly defined its relationship with the organization, and may also encounter crazy counterattacks. Why don't they want to see that? .
"Well……"
"Can consider it!"
"but……."
"What is the current progress of the 'Abyss Devourer' project?"
After a moment of silence, seeing the many organization leaders who were pondering and unwilling to express any opinions, finally one of them, who seemed to be the leader, looked at another black-clothed agent and asked in a solemn voice.
"Report!"
“It’s going great!”
"But it may take a long time for them to grow, I'm afraid..."
The agent did not dare to neglect, and quickly told the bad news he knew, saying that it was not realistic to expect the 'Abyss Devourer' to be effective in a short period of time.
"Yeah?"
"That……"
"What about the further 'Destroyer'?"
Nodding, the leader paused, then asked again in a hushed tone and with a sinister smile.
"ah?!"
And this time, the agent seemed to be frightened by the question.
"Your Excellency!"
"The Devourers of the Abyss are already very terrifying. They can't even be considered humans anymore. They can only be said to be humanoid monsters?"
"But it's still barely controllable, and it's relatively safe in theory and practice."
"B-but..."
"Those 'Destroyers' have only been proven to be feasible in theory. The details are still unclear. Once the experiment is actually carried out, we cannot predict what terrible consequences it will have. !”
Then, without thinking too much, the black-clothed agent hurriedly trembled and widened his eyes to persuade the leader of the organization sitting in the middle on the steps, as if he was afraid of something. Feeling very scared?
"..."
Seeing his appearance, Lu Lu, who was wearing black clothes, a black hat and black sunglasses, couldn't help but turned his head and listened carefully.
But he still had that half-smiling look on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"alright."
It's a pity that the leader sitting in the middle didn't give the agent a chance to continue speaking. He just raised his hand to signal him to shut up, and then he snorted coldly and continued to add in a hollow and sinister tone. road:
"You saw it too."
"Now a new threat appears..."
"Those numbered warriors are just some consumables that can be manufactured in batches. Just keep a certain number and existence. If there are more, they don't seem to be of much use."
"As for Alicia and Bitsy..."
"Although they do have strength comparable to those of the Abyss, the number is still too small, and the conditions are harsh and not suitable for mass production. The training period is also a little too long. Is it possible that they will not be able to cope with the upcoming threats in a short time?"
"And the 'Abyss Devourer' is only developed for the 'Abyss', which is too limited..."
"so!"
"Our organization must have new weapons that can deal with more advanced threats. Do you understand?"
Having said this, the leader of the organization sneered, and then glared at the frightened agent with a threatening and unquestionable look.
"ah!"
"this……"
"Yes Yes……"
"Understood."
"When my subordinates return, they will order research on those 'Destroyers'!"
After seeing what the leader said and learning about the other party's attitude, the agent who originally wanted to say something quickly lowered his head and responded with a slightly trembling tone of fear.
"very good!"
"Lulu..."
"You continue to be responsible for monitoring Lapona City and paying attention to every move of those people. Do you understand?"
After hearing the agent's answer, the senior leader of the organization was slightly satisfied, then turned to look at Lulu on the other side and warned him.
As for whether they accepted Lulu's proposal just now, it is temporarily unknown.
However, judging from what he said about ordering Lulu to closely monitor Labona City, they certainly did not choose to completely ignore Lulu's proposal just now.
"yes."
"I know how to do it."
After receiving the order, Lulu quickly lowered his head, and then a habitual sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
"In that case..."
"I suggest that we first withdraw the soldiers scattered around Yuanluzi?"
"After all, there are those people who are cleaning up the demons and awakened ones now, so it seems there is no use for them to stay there."
"Seconded!"
"They can be withdrawn first for repairs to deal with the next threat."
"meet……"
"Then withdraw!"
"However, the intelligence work must not be left behind. We still need to continue to collect the flesh and blood of the awakened ones and demons."
"even if……"
"Didn't our soldiers kill them?"
"Hey!"
"And the city of Rapona, it's time to react a little bit."
"feasible!"
"Then next, in addition to intensifying testing, Rapona will be the focus of the next step. Everyone must be vigilant!"
"Jie!"
"We must keep an eye on every move of those giant swords and let them know who has the final say here!"
"..."
"..."
In this way, the meeting continued.
As for what they said and how they implemented their plan, it is still unknown.
And outside the broken eaves and broken walls, the cold wind was still howling...
Perhaps Hanfeng can't bear to see the sins buried and hidden under this ruined land, and wants to destroy them all?
But it's a pity.
Cold winds are just cold winds after all. They don't have much effect other than making the exposed rocks and the outer layers of buildings even colder.
