After Hughes shouted those powerful words at the five people, he closed the video conference. As the screen dimmed, the conference room fell into darkness.
Hughes slumped on the leather seat. His previous strength was not a fake, but he was too tired to show strength in front of those people.
"Thank you, Mr. Hughes. Our Renaissance organization will not forget Mr. Hughes's generous words today."
It turned out that Hughes was not the only one in the conference room. An old man with white hair and beard was thanking him. The old man looked like...a Gandalf in a suit and tie.
"You don't have to thank me, Mr. Leonardo da Vinci." Hughes replied: "Even without you as a lobbyist, I have never planned to open another extraterrestrial channel for the federal cabinet."
"Hahaha, Mr. Hughes is very righteous." Da Vinci was noncommittal.
"Then may I understand that you no longer want to be controlled by the federation and want to start a new business? If Mr. Hughes has such ambitions, the Renaissance Organization is willing to help."
"Oh? The Renaissance organization is so loud. Although I have Cornflower County and Gallia County, it is really delusional to rely on this strength to compete with the Federation. It is true that your Renaissance organization is the largest resistance organization, but What kind of help can you provide me? A god-level ability user?"
Da Vinci laughed: "Mr. Hughes is really good at joking. It's true that our organization has a great cause, but we really don't have a god level." He changed the subject: "But if we can come up with a team made entirely of ghosts, There are a thousand people in the legion composed of super ability users. I wonder if Mr. Hughes is confident enough to expand the territory?"
Hughes became interested: "There are so many ghosts in the Renaissance Organization?"
Da Vinci explained: "These one thousand people are not normal ghost-level ability users, but transformed people with the power to fight ghost-level people." Seeing that Hughes's interest was greatly reduced after hearing this, he quickly added:
"But these modified humans are new models. They do not belong to the two traditional modified human systems, genetic and mechanical. They are hybrid versions of the two. The Federation has spent decades failing to create genetically and mechanically compatible modified humans. We Revival did it!”
"And traditional genetically modified people are fused with animal genes, while our modified people are fused with the genes of people with abilities. They can use superpowers!"
"Just this morning, the initial model of the Cyborg Warrior has completed testing in Long County. It can push a dragon into a desperate situation and eventually both die!"
Da Vinci's last sentence was a lie. It is true that Hou Xiao reached the dragon level, but he broke through the dragon level on the spot and had no time to consolidate his strength. It is okay to call him a "half-dragon level". If Hou Xiao is at full dragon level, he can chop Arnold into ashes with one move.
But no matter what, let's deceive Hughes first. After all, it is indeed a fact that Arnold and the dragon-level Hou Xiao died together, and it is not a lie.
"I didn't expect that your organization would have such fruitful results in scientific research. It's amazing." Hughes praised.
"With this help, Mr. Hughes is still interested in reviving cooperation with us?" Da Vinci struck while the iron was hot.
"Haha...this is..."
Ren Xiusi was not stupid either. He looked at things from left to right and started arguing with Leonardo da Vinci.
Seeing Xius's attitude, Leonardo Da Vinci knew that it was no longer possible for Lacius to go into the water. Anyway, the purpose of this meeting had been achieved, and it would be unsightly to force it any further. Da Vinci and Hughes left after a few polite words.
In the dark conference room, only Hughes's voice, as light as smoke, echoed: "North American Maple Leaf County, Asian Dragon County, and now they are plotting against my Cornflower County and Gaul County..."
"Revival Organization..."
"You're not afraid of bursting your belly!"
…
By the time Griffin realized he was being too optimistic, it was already too late.
The strange birds are difficult to control because there is a king among them.
Griffin's previous judgment about the strange birds was overturned. Their habits are similar to those of bees. Both have kings to lead the entire group, but the individual IQ of the strange birds is also quite high.
The intelligence of civilian birds is not low, but how smart is the king bird?
Griffin urged the Beast King and gritted his teeth, but he could only control a few injured birds. The Bird King has stronger control over the group than Griffin, even if he is a dragon.
The bird king also knows tactics: it is concentrating its forces to attack the human ability user commander and the cyborg team; the soldiers always have to change their magazines, and the strange birds can seize a few seconds of defense loopholes and kill a few soldiers.
Although the strange birds screamed repeatedly and the blue blood gourds fell to the ground and could never get up again, Griffin knew that humans would eventually lose this war because they did not have enough ammunition.
This warehouse stores clothes, tools and other sundries, but no ammunition. In order to facilitate trucks entering and exiting the warehouse, the warehouse door is built like a four-lane. The strange birds fly in without any pressure, much easier than in the corridor. Griffin really wanted to shoot the designer of Fortress No. 5, but he had to get out alive.
The main cause of ammo waste is too much overflow damage. A strange bird that could be destroyed by ten bullets was turned into a sieve by the soldiers. A strange bird carcass was pulled into the incinerator and it was estimated that several kilograms of warheads could be burned out. But Griffin also knows that this is not the soldier's fault. Empty the magazine in his hand is the first reaction of a person when danger comes.
It's still too tender. While Griffin lamented the lack of strength of his subordinates, he danced around among the birds with two fire axes, looking for traces of the King of Birds.
He came to kill the Bird King.
The King of Birds has absolute dominance over the flock of birds. Only by killing the King of Birds can Griffin's abilities come into play. A large number of strange birds were restrained by the soldiers, so that he could break into the hinterland of the birds and carry out beheading operations.
For alien creatures like strange birds, whose defense is almost zero and whose skill points are focused on agility, the fire ax is really useful. Griffin chopped off the mouthparts of the strange bird with one axe, and when it was in pain, he struck it on the head with the other axe.
This foreigner Li Kui naturally attracted the attention of the Bird King. The King of Birds flapped his wings and let out a clear cry:
"Meow~"
"Hey, hey, isn't this right!" Griffin was shocked, but now was not the time to complain. He was looking for a reputation, but saw...
A bird with vermilion trunk feathers was flying and chirping in mid-air. Although the color was bright, it had been hiding among the birds. No wonder Griffin couldn't find it.
The strange bird seemed to be unable to cry, and the "meow~" was the only cry Griffin heard. I wonder if making sounds is a privilege of the royal family.
The target is determined, and Griffin arrives with an axe.
Although the Bird King is hovering in the sky, he has a solution. Griffin activated Beastmaster and used all his strength to control several strange birds around him. Several strange birds flew obediently in front of Griffin and lined up.
Then Griffin flew up into the air and stepped on a strange bird!
The dragon level's physical fitness is quite strong, but it is still impossible to jump to a position more than ten meters above the ground in one leap, but it is different with stepping stones.
Griffin climbed up the strange bird stairs and was so close to the Bird King that the Bird King didn't even have time to react. "The wisdom of beasts is limited. Do you think everything will be fine in the air? Naive!" Griffin waved the ax with a grin, and the bird king's belly was opened. Before the internal organs could fall out, Griffin was stunned again. Ax, a bat wing is separated from the trunk.
"It's done!" Griffin, who was still in the air, was overjoyed when he saw the strange birds around him fleeing. Without the obstruction of the Bird King, his Beast King could collect the strange birds as slaves, and the balance of victory would tilt towards humans.
A familiar chirp interrupted Griffin's reverie.
"Meow~"
"What!" Griffin felt that his blood had stopped flowing. At the same time, he realized later that he still couldn't command the strange birds: "Is there another bird king?"
A strange bird that was slightly smaller than an ordinary bird flew towards me. Apart from the difference in size, it was no different from ordinary strange birds. Its flight is smooth, because the strange birds in front of it will actively give way!
It's like a king inspecting his territory and people! No one dares to stand in front of the king!
The alien bird made a "meow" sound from its belly. Griffin didn't understand the language of the alien bird, but he could hear the pride and ridicule in the sound.
Griffin fell into the trap! What he just killed was not the King of Birds at all, it was just a bait!
A bait to trap Griffin.
At this moment, he was still in mid-air and had not yet landed. He had nowhere to draw on, and his dragon-level power was useless. The Bird King was so fast that Griffin's body had no time to react.
The bird king opened his mouth.
Griffin saw the fine teeth in the bird's beak, then darkness, and then...he actually recalled the fish swimming outside the fortress?
He recalled that he once looked at the fish outside the glass curtain wall and sighed: "It really feels like being in an aquarium."
At the last moment of his life, for some reason, Griffin suddenly felt that he, the soldiers, and everyone in this fortress were the fish in the glass fish tank; and the marine life outside the glass curtain wall were the opposite. A spectator of everything that happened in Fortress No. 5.
