Shen Hao poured a glass of wine for Tan Bin, who was sitting opposite him. At the same time, with a thought in his mind, a force of rules invisibly covered the wine table, creating a quiet and secure environment for conversation. This method is not a magic method, it is just a superficial application of rules. It is rough and simple, but the threshold for cracking it is extremely high, and it cannot be done by relying on skills alone.
"I have been trapped in the underground palace for the past two years and can't get out. Now I have just escaped. I need to know some situations in various aspects in the past two years. You can pick the important ones first." Shen Hao was actually very curious about what happened. It would make an experienced spy like Tan Bin obviously lose control of his emotions. It seemed that he was excited to finally meet his parents after being wronged.
Tan Bin took the wine glass handed over by Shen Hao with both hands, thanked him and took a big sip to relieve his psychological excitement. When Master Shen returns, many things will be completely reversed, and there may be hope for many of the difficult dilemmas today. After all, Mr. Shen is famous for his quick thinking and is a general who can get things done and solve problems.
"Sir, just eight months after you lost news, something big happened in the country. The evil monks started to cause chaos, and killings were everywhere. From remote villages and towns to major hub cities, everyone was in danger, and ordinary people did not even dare to go alone. Single families slept in large sheds, and dozens of people crowded together to rest in batches. Even wealthy households in big cities strengthened their defenses around the clock. All garrisons were even put on wartime alert.
In addition, 40% of each of the four front armies were already on the move, cruising around and setting up defenses with orders from the Ministry of War. But the situation in various places has not improved much. Last month, I even heard that an organized forward battalion of the front army was surrounded and annihilated by evil monks..."
"Tell me clearly! How did the evil monks get into chaos? How can they be organized to eliminate the main forward battalion of the front army? What kind of mess is this!?"
Shen Hao frowned deeply and raised his hand to interrupt Tan Bin's narration. His hazy face covered by the fog was filled with surprise. He even felt that he was hallucinating.
What does Tan Bin mean by this? It sounds like the entire Jing Dynasty was disrupted by evil monks, and the word "wartime" was even used. How is this possible! ?
"Sir, it is said that there was something wrong with a certain elixir, and the evil monks took advantage of it, triggering a wide range of evil methods, and poisoning the new novice monks who were originally trained by the elixir in the Black Flag Camp and becoming die-hard followers of the evil monks. And they defected before the battle, causing huge casualties and destruction to Black Flag Camp and other places.
Nowadays, these defecting evil monks are scattered in various places, and sometimes they gather into organized organizations to act in a unified manner. In the past, small forces were difficult to eliminate, while large forces were avoided by them in the past, and their numbers grew extremely fast. Recently, the main force of the front army has been intercepted and killed. The forward battalion is extremely strong and extremely difficult to deal with. "
When Shen Hao heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Even in his deep sleep for the past two years, he would not forget the things that he had been undecided about before entering the underground palace. Now it seems that he really got what he said unfortunately.
According to the general context of what Tan Bin said, Shen Hao was sure that the so-called "something went wrong with the pill" was referring to the imitation that was finally produced by the reverse research on the "Red Evil" in the original body plan.
The fatality rate of this imitation elixir is very high, and its effect is not as good as that of Red Evil. Therefore, Shen Hao has always strictly controlled this imitation at the base of the original body project and only used it for experiments. Later, due to the pressure of personnel shortage caused by the evil spirits in various places and the counterattack momentum of the evil monks, Shen Hao was forced to relent and took out this immature imitation of the red evil spirit and made it available to the outside world, but it was restricted and carried with Experimental use license.
Groups of death row prisoners who took imitations of Red Evil began to concentrate on devouring blood and learn some magic techniques and combined attack formations. After two or three months, they could reach the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and then they could go to the front line to fight against evil spirits. Fight to the death with the evil monks. These people need to be strictly under the control of the Black Flag Camp in terms of their number and scope of activities. This was a compromise adopted by Shen Hao after minimizing risks.
The reason why Shen Hao was so cautious at that time was because the effect of something like Red Fiend was so incredible, but the cost was almost nothing. Even imitation products also had this problem. And once you don't figure out what the cost of this type of elixir is, it will always be a huge hidden danger. After all, this thing originated from evil monks, so you can't be too careful.
Shen Hao's persistence, coupled with the support of Commander Pang Ban, withstood the pressure and made the emperor, who advocated the large-scale use of Hongsha imitations, choose to back down.
But now listening to Tan Bin's words, the Hongsha imitation thing should be completely out of control!
"Speak more carefully and tell me everything you know about the elixir that went wrong." Shen Hao understood that Tan Bin could not possibly understand the original plan, nor could he understand the Red Devil and its imitations. Things, but some of the impact events caused by the loss of control of the elixir should be able to be told.
Tan Bin recalled for a while and said: "My subordinates don't know the inside story. I only know that before the accident happened, there were several nationwide escorts of death row prisoners. Because there were too many people, the horse and carriage agency was also recruited to be responsible for part of the escorts." Errands. I heard that they were escorted to some camp in various places. Later, there was news that these death row prisoners were there to test drugs.
I really don't know about other things about elixirs. "
Shen Hao did not blame Tan Bin for not knowing enough. After all, the original body plan was top secret, and it was impossible for others to know about it before there was a thunderstorm. But this "heard" that Tan Bin said still made Shen Hao feel nervous.
Recruiting death row inmates nationwide? ! In the huge Jingjiu Dynasty, hundreds of death row inmates were beheaded every day, and thousands were imprisoned in prisons. With such a large amount and several levies, it's no wonder that it would be like a landslide after a thunderstorm.
"Are any towns occupied?"
"No. Although the evil monks are wreaking havoc everywhere now, they have never occupied a city or a place. Even though there have been many instances of destroying cities and massacring villages and towns, they always escaped immediately after killing people."
After hearing this, Shen Hao immediately understood the current predicament of Jing Jiu Dynasty. The evil monks did not immediately confront Jing Jiuchao because of their growing power. They still chose the strategy of slashing and running away. This made it difficult for Jing Jiuchao to use his strength in one place. He could only defend passively and it was difficult to take the initiative to fight back.
Of course, the information currently available is still not enough, and it is difficult for Shen Hao to understand everything clearly. He will have to wait until he returns to Black Flag Camp to learn more about it.
"Let's talk about the current situation in Black Flag Camp." Shen Hao picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but now the wine was a little tasteless when it entered his throat.
