The old woman didn't explain what the relationship was, but she could guess.

However, this matter has little to do with Diemeng - she was just here to conduct a private investigation anyway. The reason why I was involved in this matter, to put it bluntly, was entirely because of the old woman. In fact, the last words spoken by the old woman that she really cared about.

Hold on to ...... Anti-phagocytosis effect?

This is completely impossible under normal circumstances, because human physiology determines many things. The counter-devouring effect of the magic of the second law, as long as the warlock who has experienced it will understand, is a sudden thunderbolt, and it is an irresistible force for human beings. Attempting to resist will only delay the backlash effect (and it will be enhanced), but will not completely cancel it out. This reaction force will act directly on the flesh (some theories suggest that it is not only on the flesh, but also on the depth and breadth of the impact, but this is difficult to verify), causing quite serious damage in an instant.

Diemeng went to probe Lu Wu out of curiosity before, and was met with an immediate backlash. This is still relatively lucky, one is not careful, the eye explodes, and even the brain explodes.

But if not flesh and blood......

A flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she knew she had found a new direction. If it is a mechanical device, it is obviously far stronger than flesh and blood. The power that can crush the naked eye is placed on the steel frame, and it is estimated that there will not even be a trace. On the other hand, even if the damage is very serious, it is just a matter of casually replacing one. And, to be honest, there is a big difference between one tear and two tears on the retina of the eye, and one tear and ten tears on the lens, and even cracks that are so dense that they are like spider webs, or even directly burst into slag, it seems that there is not much difference. It's all damage.

Just like the old woman is now.

This one...... The old woman must have noticed it by accident. However, the old woman is a warrior after all, and she is not sensitive to these things. She probably didn't realize that this phenomenon actually has a lot of potential and value for further development.

She immediately made up her mind and immediately started her research when she returned. From this side though, I got some music data. As for the rest...... For example, things like amber and Lu Wu can be left to the old woman. Although this time she got out safely, not only did she get out safely, but also took a lot of advantage (the old woman didn't seem to care, leaving all the opportunities for "devouring" to her). But who knows what will happen next? Anyway, what she has always been really proud of is not her innate strength, but her own mind (not the intriguing and calculating aspect, in particular, but the academic aspect of scientific research). Now that the matter has been clarified here, and everything is just a misunderstanding, it may be more appropriate to stop here.

As for Lu Wu and Kaicha Goat, two beings who should not have anything to do with each other at all, from different worlds, but they met unexpectedly in this world (they even came to this world at different times, Kecha Goat has been in this world for a long time, but he has been controlled by the Stygian Moon, and Lu Wu really didn't come here for long). It is indeed curious to have some kind of secret relationship between them, but Diemeng has decided not to pay attention to this matter anymore. It's okay to put this curiosity aside for the time being.

"And one more thing, you don't feel the recovery of amber...... Isn't it weird?"

"Amber's restoration?"

"I was injured by mistake myself, how much damage this amber has suffered, and how much time it will take to heal...... the old woman said slowly. "I can't say it's exact, but I have points in my stomach. At normal times, she shouldn't have shown up at all, let alone fought the Stygians. She must have been lying in bed, unconscious, as powerless as a baby. ”

"It should be...... Kecha Goat used some kind of machinery to help her recover, right?" "In this world, at least the technology on Huiyue's side can't do this, but if it is said that Kecha Goat, who has no entity, can do this, it is not surprising.

"Yes, but this time Amber was also hit hard, why did Kecha Goat suddenly refuse to be treated?"

Kecha Koyat ...... Obviously, there is also something to hide.

On the surface, it seems that a certain agreement has been reached, but both sides seem to be ready for betrayal. However, this is the normal situation.

……

"When we get back, we'll be on the agenda. Ivan asked.

Two people walked down the aisle. Today's meeting may not be able to say that there is a consensus, but at least two things have been accomplished, the first is to let everyone know that it is not that difficult, and the second is that this is indeed an opportunity.

"Quite ambitious. Red-clothed replied casually.

"What are the odds?"

"Maybe the odds are still a little bit better, but the next thing is ...... Basically, it's no fun. Redcoat said. "The city of Gasha is a special case. ”

"You mean...... Is there a problem with social groups?" Ivan's attitude was much more relaxed. Speaking of which, Hongyi has always felt very strange. Because so far, he can't see through what the other party wants. At first, Hongyi felt that he was looking for an opportunity to override Lu Wu. But in fact, none of this happened, and Ivan even handed over the rights of the entire army at all, and did not even do anything like secretly contacting his former subordinates and inciting emotions. It seems that he is just willing to be a staff officer, but he seems to know a lot. Especially the kind of inexplicable relaxed confidence - Red Yi couldn't figure out where his confidence came from. So far, although everything seems easy, the XVI Legion has gone through more than one adventure. Although in the end, although the danger was finally saved, in fact, as long as there was a slight carelessness, it was the result of the total annihilation. In such a big risk, even the red clothes are trembling and walking on thin ice. On several occasions, even he made a decision after repeated vacillations. But Ivan didn't seem to care at all. It's not a fear of death in the usual sense – it's a different kind of self-confidence from the heart.

And the source of this confidence, just like Ivan's previous inexplicable illness, makes people feel very inappropriate and abnormal, but it is impossible to tell what is going on.

"Well, yes, we're on our side...... It's better. ”

On this side of the city, there are several tribes that have retreated from the border. On the one hand, it was luck, and on the other hand, it also relied on the struggle of the original 16th Army Corps (as mentioned earlier, the whole army was wiped out in the blocking battle, and only 100 people remained, and even a junior officer of Lu Wu's rank could take on the identity of "the supreme commander of the legion"), and successfully made all the civilians retreat with a posture with minimal losses. And not only is the loss small, but on the other hand, the original organizational structure is also sound. In a way, it's a big move, and nothing else has changed.

But on the whole, there aren't many such lucky ones. The threat posed by the disintegration of time and space forced the inhabitants of the Banshee Gate to relocate, and then in the process of migration, they were attacked by Kaicha Goat, which can be said to have caused a lot of damage. This loss is not only in terms of personnel and materials, but also in the destruction of the original social order. In this chaos, everything is in chaos. Coupled with the inaction and even deliberate suppression of the regular army, no one was able to have enough prestige and strength to build a new order. Even if there is, it is partial, in small quantities.

This means that in order to control the Banshee Gate, in addition to the army, the government is needed. Normally, this can be done by asking for support from your superiors - as long as you are the legitimate governor, it is fine to ask for some administrators from the upper echelons of the faction, or from a neighbor on the side. But...... Lu Wu's situation is obviously not this one.

He obviously does not have access to such support. If they could, there would be no such thing as the regular army standing idly by. Of course, this thing is not outrageous, where is the position of the governor so easy to get? Don't look at the commander of the legion is a direct subordinate of the governor, it seems that he is only one level behind. But the truth is that the difference at this level is as difficult to cross as an abyss. If you can get it, there will be a very terrible (and even outrageous) increase in shopping privileges alone. Such a precious reward is inconceivable if it is given to anyone casually.

If there are no great difficulties, it is estimated that those who covet the position of governor will not be the only one, right?

"Haha," Ivan smiled. "Your Excellency in Red, what kind of person do you think, Lu Wu?"

"Huh?"

"The hairy boy, who has no military skills and is not a professional soldier, has relied on luck and the courage to not be afraid of death to get to this point...... That's usually the case, isn't it?" Ivan said. "However, I think that His Excellency Lu Wu has a very big advantage...... That is, he has the ability to see the opportunity first, and at the same time, he is decisive enough and determined to take advantage of all the conditions at his disposal. This time will not be an exception. ”

"What do you mean by 'taking advantage of all available conditions'?"

"Remember our fight with Grumas?" Ivan said. "Grumas seems to have everything to his advantage. He has two powerful warlocks to help. We can't raid him, but he can easily raid us. He had an entire well-defended city and a whole army of heavily armed legions guarding it, but he only had to fight defensive battles...... No, it's not even a defensive battle, you just need to delay until dawn. He also has enough power at the top to keep us out of foreign aid. He also has a large army that can be reached at any time...... In short, whether it's a surprise attack or a frontal one, we don't seem to have an advantage at all. ”

"However, the Floating Fortress is in our hands after all......"

"That's right, so it's 'all the conditions that can be used'. Ivan replied with a grin. "Isn't there anything Grumas can do to control the Floating Fortress? In fact he has better conditions than we do, and he will be able to control the Floating Fortress against us if he wants to, right? ”

This is indeed Lu Wu's decisiveness. Red-clothed groaned.

"However, there was indeed a floating fortress on that occasion, as long as you put your mind to it...... What Grumas lacks is determination. But this time, even if you are determined, it is useless. As you know, His Excellency Lu Wu does not have any power or backing at the top. ”

"If you want to, everything will be there. Ivan smiled. "It's you, you just said, you know that...... The commander of the Floating Fortress of the Stygian?"

"Indeed, I know him...... In fact, I even knew him. "The red clothes did not hide. "His name is Arsha, and if I had to judge him, he is a very experienced veteran. ”

"Experience?" said Ivan. "Really, it's the most difficult type to deal with. A very experienced veteran...... Even if you use any kind of conspiracy, it should be the kind that is difficult to take the bait, right?"
