The tense and short battle made several people feel a little frightened and no longer suspended in the air.
The five people stood on the top of the mountain, looking at each other.
Bai Su smiled bitterly: "Our goal was indeed achieved, but it seems that the result was cheaper..."
Ragzi's face became even more bitter: "Yes, yes, this guy is too scary. He reversed my space spell. I shouldn't be able to fight back when I meet him next time..."
The impatience was somewhat unwilling: "The problem is that our original wish was for Welling to devour the eight attributes-carrying elements..."
Wei Ling waved his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Even if the myrobalan doesn't come, I don't know how to devour it."
Bai Yao Zi, Rag Bu Zi, Morning Niu Zi and Gu Zi all smiled helplessly.
Welling was more optimistic and comforted a few people:
"However, I remember that after Myrobalan swallowed Oleg last time, it took him ten years to stabilize. This time he swallowed eight carriers in a row. Maybe it will take more than ten years to stabilize this time. Sobriety stabilizes.”
Bai Su shook his head:
"It's different this time. My forgetfulness technique makes all the memories of those eight carriers disappear. Their souls will not conflict with Myrobalan's existing memories and experiences. It probably won't take long."
"Also, Myrobalan's control over the world of Yuanling far exceeds that of the Pope. I cannot block the space he is in. It will probably be even harder to plan an ambush on him in the future."
Ragzi was still frightened.
The space on the top of the mountain fluctuated, and a tall figure appeared. Ling Yuzi looked at the western sky:
"I know the situation well. I came from the detection space just now. There are no super bright spots in the entire Xixuan world except Angus. That myrobalan has probably gone to sleep again."
The five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
“The results, while not optimal, are better than doing nothing.”
Ling Yuzi nodded and looked towards the mountains to the north, looking a little hesitant. Then he turned his head and looked at Wei Ling with a smile:
"The matter on our side has been settled. Go back and report to His Majesty. Your own mission must continue, so be more careful.
I just sensed it there, and I always felt that there was something strange there. The power was very unfamiliar, and it didn't look like the normal use of spiritual power by a warlock or mage system. It seemed unusual, but I couldn't tell what it was specifically. "
Wei Ling bowed and handed over to the five seniors:
"Well, okay, I will be careful. Thank you seniors for coming to eliminate the hidden dangers. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Several people nodded and disappeared.
Wei Ling also concentrated and returned to the vehicle in an instant.
The few people in the vehicle were not surprised by Welling's return, and they focused their attention on the mountains outside the vehicle.
"How about it, Brother Welling, what's the outcome of the confrontation with that pope?"
Liu Xihe looked at the mountains outside the porthole window, but inserted a message.
Welling replied casually:
"It doesn't matter, the entanglement is fruitless, let's leave each other."
At this moment, the "Blue Bird" was already above a wide mountainous area.
Just below, there are several flat areas where the mountains are slightly flat. Many federal vehicles have been parked there, none of them are small, they are all medium-sized vehicles.
The postures of several other vehicles were obviously not docked normally, but forced to land in an emergency, and even the skin coating of the ship's hull was damaged.
A small number of federal soldiers were walking around or lurking, waiting silently for orders.
The entire mountainous area was eerily quiet.
As their eyes moved away, Wei Ling and others saw the huge mountain not far away. Due to the earthquake, half of the mountain peak had collapsed, revealing a huge hole in the mountain.
The shape of the hollow mouth is extremely irregular, and it obviously does not look like it is artificially made, but rather seems to be naturally formed.
The guard lowered the height of the vehicle and slowly swept towards the hollow entrance of the mountain.
As the vehicle lowered, several people immediately discovered that the mountains leading to the entrance of the cave were littered with corpses of dead soldiers.
Most of the sergeants who died in battle were dressed in the Helbang city defense police force, and some were wearing the federal standard mage robes.
There are also a small number of very strange and tall dead people who are obviously on the opposite side. They are probably the so-called rebels.
At this season, it is not the rainy season in the high-altitude mountains. The air is very dry. The blood that soaked the mountain soil has long condensed, and there is not even a flying fly.
The battlefield spread throughout the mountainous area was wider than expected, and the outcome of victory or defeat seemed very obvious at every scene.
Although the federal aid mage corps and police force paid a heavy price, they still followed the rebels and entered the mountain cavity that appeared due to the earthquake.
In the hollow, Shou Gong could hardly find a flat enough place to park the "Blue Bird" vehicle. She had no choice but to carefully lean the vehicle on the hillside.
As soon as a few people walked out to download their gear, an ordinary-looking mage wearing a uniform of the Xixuan Federation Army came over:
"Are you warlocks from the Imperial Military Observation Service?"
Wei Ling walked over, nodded, and casually handed over:
"Yes, we are the empire's investigation team into this incident. Coming from the Observation Agency, we need to know the situation information of the two officials of the Empire Observation Agency. What is the current situation?"
At the same time, Welling threw out the identity information of several people, as well as what the empire had learned so far, and Baird's visit to communicate.
"Hello, Mr. Welling, I am Toktu, the deputy director of the federal aid team of Helbang mages. Two officials from your country's observation agency have followed our aid team deep into the mountain."
"Very well, Mr. Toktu, there is no problem with their safety. Why haven't you sent any information back to Helbang for three days in a row? There should be at least basic information sent back."
Toktu is a middle-aged mage who looks very strict. His blue-gray eyes are somewhat worried, and he shakes his head slightly:
"Mr. Welling may not quite understand the situation. The current situation is that due to special geographical conditions, all our small vehicles have entered the interior of the mountain.
The medium-sized vehicles parked outside were limited in size and could not enter that space, but almost every vehicle had been damaged in previous battles.
What's more important is that most of our people have gone in, but no information has been brought out. After half a day, I think I should go in to get information. "
Wang Mantuo was a little unbelievable:
"Didn't you say that there are only a hundred rebels? Even if they are all reformers and reformers, they shouldn't be so powerful, right?"
Toktu was a little surprised, but nodded slightly:
"It seems that Baird, the deputy director of the Helbon Police Department, has told you the identity of the rebels... Well, from their point of view, it is normal to reveal a little bit, and it is understandable that they have complaints against the Federation.
Yes, there are indeed only more than a hundred rebels, most of whom are transformation sergeants and transformation mages. "
Liu Xihe continues to consult:
"Why did they rebel, and why did they run here after the rebellion?"
"So far, the information we have is limited. The main reason why the rebels did this is because of the federation's treatment and insufficient respect for reformers and reformers like them.
In the eyes of regular mages, and even in the eyes of the Federation, their existence should be the same as vehicles, strategic resources and tactical equipment. There is obviously a big gap between this and their self-perception. "
Wei Ling nodded:
"To put it bluntly, you just don't treat them as human beings."
Li Lingyou and several others nodded, indicating that they understood the situation.
“So, under the accumulated resentment, they gathered together, brazenly seized several vehicles, and fled northeast.
As for why they chose this location, it is probably because this area is a place with weak federal control. In addition, it is a plateau area with numerous peaks and extremely complex geological conditions. Furthermore, continuing to the east is the actual control range of the empire. These facilitate their escape. "
Welling nodded:
"It makes sense, Mr. Toktu, please continue."
“After the rebellion broke out, their choice was not to confront the federal army immediately, but to take advantage of the chaos caused by the earthquake to withdraw eastward in time.
Because of the earthquake disaster, Helbang was completely unprepared. They broke through the blockade in one fell swoop and fled into the mountains.
The mage group we assisted did not have time to make any detailed plans with Helbang, so they could only passively follow up. The three parties arrived here two days ago, and a fierce confrontation took place near this mountainous area.
As you can see, the results are quite regrettable and the losses are huge. Now most of the people are chasing the rebels into the interior of the mountain. "
Wei Ling pondered for a moment, analyzed the information sent by the other party, and asked a question:
“It’s not surprising that General Direction chose this place, it can be considered a very sensible choice.
However, did the rebels come directly here? Does this mean that they already knew that this was near the epicenter of the earthquake, and also knew that the mountain here would collapse and there would be a huge mountain space for them to enter and rely on the terrain to resist ? "
This question seemed to be beyond Toktu’s understanding, and he was a little confused:
"Yeah, that's a good question! But I don't know the answer."
Shou Gong privately sent a message to Wei Ling:
"Sir, if an earthquake occurs not far away at this moment, I can judge the magnitude, focal depth and intensity of the earthquake based on various actual conditions, and I can also make a preliminary estimate of the approximate location of the epicenter.
But transforming people, such as Mangcao Shencao, is probably very difficult for them to do. It's hard to say whether there will be people with strange abilities among the transformation mages. "
"Okay, thank you Shou Gong, I understand."
"Master, the geomagnetic energy here is very chaotic. A large amount of electric charge has accumulated between the high altitude and the ground. There is also an ultra-high energy pressure difference deep inside the mountain."
Yuan Bao also used his ability to see more things that were wrong.
"Very good, Yuanbao, you are observing carefully, continue to pay attention to special changes, and notify me in time."
"Okay, Master, I will pay attention." A smile appeared on Yuan Bao's lips.
Immediately, Wei Ling had a brief discussion with Wang Mantuo, Liu Xihe and Li Lingyou, and looked at Tuoketu:
"Mr. Toktu, you should be at least an intermediate-level mage. During the two days you have been waiting on this mountain, have you sensed any violent energy fluctuations inside the mountain, or are there any signs of intense fighting?"
Toktu was confused again:
"Yes, Mr. Welling's perspective on the problem is very different from mine. I didn't even think of this. It's strange. It's very quiet here, without any movement! No one who goes in comes back."
Wei Ling was a little worried and looked at the five people on his side:
"What should I do? I estimate that there are unknown risks deep in the mountain. Vehicles cannot enter the interior. They can only walk in. What should we do, everyone?"
Wei Ling thought that Senior Ling Yuzi had also felt that there were strange and unknown things before. If he went in rashly, except for himself and Yuan Bao, who were relatively stronger, several other people would also have unknown risks. Therefore, he basically felt that it was best for others to stay on the periphery. It’s better to wait.
Wang Mantuo is not bad at wisdom, nor is he blindly confident. Liu Xihe is naturally very cautious. The two looked at each other and made a decision:
"Brother Welling, I think we should follow in, but once we find uncontrollable factors, we will withdraw.
If the situation permits, you are a high-level warlock and can go deeper and detect the situation. "
Wei Ling nodded and asked the garrison to put the vehicle into automatic sleep alert, and the group of people walked towards the interior of the huge mountain.
