The tall and thin Baird was a little hesitant, but when faced with the inquiry from the empire's investigation team, he had to answer this basic question:
"That's right, there aren't many rebels, about a hundred or so..."
Wei Ling, Wang Mantuo, Li Lingyou, Liu Xihe and others suddenly frowned.
This is unreasonable. Are the rebels all mid-level and high-level warlocks? Faced with more than 1,300 city defense troops, plus 150 federal mage troops, they actually achieved such a result, leaving the opponent with no basic information. No feedback guaranteed?
Wang Mantuo couldn't help but insert information:
“What is the identity and force composition of the rebels?”
Baird looked a little embarrassed:
"This...I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It is said that it is the Federation's reformer sergeant and reformation mage!"
Wei Ling's eyes narrowed.
It turned out that there was something wrong with the finished product of the "Fire Stealer" project. Didn't it mean that the Federation had already produced a stable fifth generation of modified humans? Senior Yang Ruolan is a living example. How could there still be control problems?
Wei Ling, Shou Gong, and Li Lingyou had seen the third generation of reformers, as had Mang Cao, Shen Cao, and others. They had effectively strengthened themselves in specific areas.
Several people looked at each other, and Wei Ling gave Wang Mantuo, Liu Xihe and Yuan Bao information packets about the "Fire Thief" and "Reformer" branches, so that they could have an idea of the matter. .
Since more than a hundred reformers and reformers rebelled, it is understandable that they could stand up to so many city defense police forces.
Yuan Bao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
In his mind, there is no such concept.
Man-made interference to cultivate different human beings is somewhat contrary to nature and humanity.
Li Lingyou and Liu Xihe both had gloating smiles on their lips.
"Well, Mr. Baird, since there is a problem with the federal research direction, the results also prove that you develop such things that go against heaven, humanity and nature. This is indeed a huge hidden danger. I hope that you can properly deal with those remaining things in the future. The finished product… So, now, what should we do with it?”
Baird looked even more embarrassed.
But when he thought about these situations, they would eventually be known to the empire anyway, and it would be easy to make a fool of himself this time.
Since things like signing a surrender treaty, granting huge strategic metal compensation, and establishing a demilitarized state could have happened ten years ago, these things were no longer a big deal, but it didn't matter to him anymore:
"Well, as Mr. Welling said, this is indeed a major scandal in the Federation... Our police department is not very clear about the armaments and capabilities of the rebels, and the assisting Federation Mage Group did not specifically explain it. The police force followed up.
In my opinion, you might as well wait for the news slowly here. The result will eventually come. If you can't wait, you can also go and take a look at the situation over there.
The journey is a bit long, and all the medium and large vehicles of the police department have been dispatched. Therefore, you can only use your medium vehicles. "
Wei Ling thought for a moment and decided to go over and take a look:
"Very well, Mr. Baird. As you can see, the Empire is very concerned about the safety of our Observation Agency officers. They have followed your troops there and there has been no news for three days. Therefore, we are still prepared to go and take a look."
Immediately, Zheng Ni was arranged to continue to stay at the observation station, and several people boarded the vehicle again. Regardless of Baird, they took off directly and flew towards the north.
Gradually entering the city center area, the buildings become more densely packed, and there are also some buildings that look relatively solid and tall.
On the peninsula where the three rivers converge, there is still a large and towering temple.
But then we saw relatively more buildings damaged by the earthquake. The whole city seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness, and there was still a long way to go before it could recover.
After more than ten minutes, we flew out of the city limits, and what we saw were gray-white mountains.
The vehicle seemed to plunge into a sea of mountains.
On the distant skyline, there is a black spot half hanging in the air. It is very eye-catching when viewed through the vehicle's port window.
Wei Ling was shocked, then relieved.
The Pope was waiting there.
This was expected by Wei Ling, but there were still many doubts.
At this moment, the old man standing alone in the air was actually hesitant.
The constant attention to Wei Ling did not start after Wei Ling and others left the imperial capital and entered Helbon, but he always checked on Wei Ling's whereabouts when he had time.
Even though Wei Ling had left the empire and appeared in the kingdom of Xixuan, he still did not decide to try to attack Wei Ling.
He was certain that both Myrobalan and Angus were in the City of Glory, seemingly waiting for him to take action. Once he was frustrated, they might come over to reap the benefits.
More importantly, he didn't know if all the masters from the empire had come over, but he couldn't find them either from the source world or the manifest world.
So, he decided to test it out and appeared directly in the air to see how Welling would respond.
Several people in the vehicle also noticed the man standing in the sky in the distance. They felt a little strange and looked at Welling.
"That's the Pope of Bishop Xixuanshen. Haha, he probably wants to communicate with me. You go in the designated direction, and I will meet him and he will come over."
Wei Ling dropped a message to Wang Mantuo, Liu Xihe, Li Lingyou, Shou Gong and Yuan Bei, and left the vehicle with a sway.
In the blink of an eye, Welling appeared not far from Gregor, also standing in the void.
The two looked at each other, both with many questions.
During the hesitation, the Blue Bird vehicle passed near the two people and continued north.
Welling threw out the message:
"Confirm, are you the Pope of the Divine Bishop of the Xixuan Federation?"
Gregor subconsciously looked around and tried his best to smile:
"Yes, I am. You are Mr. Welling, the genius warlock in the new generation of the empire, the head of the Lingxian Sect, right?"
"You are an unknown person, not worth mentioning. I wonder why you were spying in the imperial capital a few days ago and why you show up here again today?"
The Pope asked back:
"Haha, as soon as you entered the Origin Spirit World, you took one look at me and then immediately exited. What's the reason?"
Welling made no reply at all:
"There is also a sequence of questions. You answer my question first, and then I will consider your question as appropriate."
The old man's dark green eyes condensed. He checked again and found no danger:
"In your Eastern terms, you are pretending to be confused because you understand. Since you are a genius, you still don't understand your own ending after meeting me. Do you still need me to explain?"
Wei Ling did not answer, but still looked at the other party with a smile:
"I'm really confused, please tell me."
Compared to Myrobalan, Gregorian’s patience was limited:
"That Mr. Harile said that he couldn't wake you up, or you were deliberately pretending to be confused. In order to give Mr. Harile a clear answer, of course, I am also curious, so I have to do something.
Why don't you take a look at my magic method? Do you recognize it? "
Of course Wei Ling knew what the other party was talking about. He did not wait for the other party to cast the spell and directly turned his body into energy. His body became a bit ethereal and illusory, but he did not enter the world of source spirits.
Since Gregor lost his patience and took action, he naturally would not watch Welling prepare for the situation.
He flashed and was already beside Wei Ling.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
The water vapor and dust in the air come from all kinds of tiny pollen, microorganisms, etc. Everything is immediately crystallized into a physical world.
Wei Ling's illusory figure also seemed to be difficult to move.
As Gregor came closer, a black light curtain suddenly appeared around him, like a whirlpool, and he himself was the center of the whirlpool.
Wei Ling's body swayed, and he had already made an instant switch between the two worlds. He chuckled:
"The Pope has a noble status. Could it be that he also likes to fight hand-to-hand so much?"
In fact, before this ridiculing message, Welling had already issued a slight scolding when Gregor was close:
"punish!"
This is Welling's most aggressive original spell combination at present.
But this is just an appearance. Wei Ling doesn't believe that the original spell will be effective for the Pope. What he hopes is to use the "Zhu" formula to cover up other spells.
What was covered up by the word "Zhu" was that Wei Ling threw a "brainstorm" at the opponent with all his strength.
This "brainstorm" consists of two parts: "data torrent" and "mental shock".
The random data of this "data flood" is mainly composed of basic theoretical research results such as detonation physics, fluid mechanics, equation of state, and neutron transport.
The spiritual shock imitates the spiritual power clues of Mi Meng and Yang Ruolan, and hijacks and threatens the pope's spiritual power.
In an instant, a bright little sun seemed to appear between the two of them.
Rays of light shot out like sharp swords.
These rays of light are actually the energy overflow formed by the fusion of four high-level original spells: Catastrophic Disaster, Life Drainage, Ten Thousand Forest Winds, and Metal Storm!
In an instant, like flames melting snow, the light tore open countless cracks in the black vortex.
The Pope did not expect such a powerful combination of high-level spells.
He knew that Wei Ling could cast all five original spells, but he did not expect that once the other party made a move, it would be simultaneously fused into a single-character spell, and its power was naturally not comparable to that of a single spell.
In desperation, the Pope could only quickly switch his body state between the two worlds as Welling expected.
To avoid powerful source magic attacks, even the Pope would not be willing to break his body and enter the source spirit world to repair it.
This process actually only takes a moment, and the Pope has completed the energy transformation of his body.
Countless lightsaber-like composite energy penetrated from his body in the form of light, just like a bright beam of light penetrating a curtain composed of black mist.
Like the light of a sharp sword, it looks powerful, but it cannot cause any trouble to the Pope.
Gregor's white beard and hair were flamboyant, and there was a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
However, before the contempt on his lips disappeared, his dark green eyes suddenly narrowed violently, and his pupils shrank to the extreme.
Immediately afterwards, the eyeball suddenly protruded!
At this moment, he fell into the compound attack of "brainstorming"!
Grigory was like a delicate porcelain, with fine cracks appearing on his face.
However, no blood seeped out of the crack.
That kind of crack is not a real crack to be precise.
Because Gregor is an energy body at this moment, keeping this energy body in human form relies on his mental power.
If we change it to the expression understood by Angus or Myrobalan, those who construct energy bodies such as Gregorian are betrayers, greedy, insidious, despicable, arrogant, prejudiced, cruel and hypocritical. Souls unite!
This gathering of mental power was instantly caught off guard by Welling's "data torrent" and "spiritual shock", and it immediately cracked!
The old man let out a miserable howl, and his figure suddenly exploded. A violent explosion passed through Welling's body.
However, the opponent's disintegration and explosion were naturally within Welling's expectation.
Welling will not let this process compromise its own safety.
Therefore, what Grigori's exploding energy body penetrated was still a phantom, and Welling's figure was already standing on one side, and the gesture he waved had not yet been closed.
The gesture Wei Ling made was actually the residual movement after another mental spell was cast.
The magic resistance of its split soul power, or its single spiritual body, should be lower than that of the complex body.
Welling naturally did not waste the opportunity and threw out a half-specified "mental virus".
Gregor's reaction was extremely quick and short.
Its exploded energy body and split spiritual body had closed up not far away in an instant.
He still looked like the tall, tall old man, as if he had not been harmed in any real way.
Grigory calmed down, and the wrinkles on his face were almost forming afterimages due to the rapid trembling of his muscles.
It is conceivable that the Pope is enduring the pain of being separated from each other at this moment.
For the sake of safety, in the blink of an eye, Gregor still chose to intersperse between the manifest world and the source world to eliminate the remaining traces of the spell on his body.
However, the original spell can be eliminated by switching time and space, but the mental spell cannot.
Several muscles in the old man's face were still twitching uncontrollably.
The white hair on his head was flying in the strong wind, and the luxurious crown was gone.
Wei Ling was not far away and laughed:
"I don't know if the respected Pope can wake me up, but no matter what your conclusion is, I am still confused!"
