249. Preparation
The spiritual power is as low as Ji Si, and she can also feel the grim atmosphere in the forest, and the various energies that are faintly fluctuating. Not only the forces of nature, but also various other forms of fluctuations in abilities, among them, there are even some powers that belong to the system of the Dark Council that she is very familiar with, from the guardians and invaders of the dream realm: Dream Demons.
In the center of the camp, at the edge of the small clearing, there are several tables and chairs made of simple cutting of huge logs, which reveal a romantic taste of jīng chic and naturalism in the roughness, which only the druids can make. And around these tables and chairs, in a very medieval style, flags are erected to represent the important people present. Although many of these symbols are no longer used so often, practitioners do carry on the tradition to the greatest extent possible while living longer than ordinary people.
Among those present, there was no one with the most solemn prestige than the deacon of the Inquisition, Medunko, and in addition, there was a cardinal and two bishops whom Kiss had never met. The Truth Church also sent two absolute power figures, De Niro and Clarence.
However, the representative of the National Federation of Strangers was a little special, it was an old man who looked a little problematic, and there was no fluctuation of magic power in his body. However, no one dared to underestimate him. Just as Kiss, who has negligible combat power, has undisputed authority in the Dark Council, this old man named Thomson, as the brain of the entire Federation of Adeptics, is also the same in the association. And Thomson, as a veteran Hollywood screenwriter and a godfather-level figure in the fantasy industry who has been famous for a long time, is inextricably linked to the top of the United States. Most of the problems involved in the preparation for the war against Saxony that required the mobilization of resources from all sides of the United States were resolved by Thomson in a coordinated manner.
As for Konstantin, the leader of the Demon Hunter Organization, he has been staying in Shanghai these days, and he has not found time to return to Europe. This Eastern European man with a strong fighting power is quite fond of the current woodland. And his experience in intelligence work is very helpful to everyone in these rìzi. As the most authoritative mercenary organization in the cultivation world of this world, the Demon Hunter Organization really has too much experience of infiltration and "Infernal Affairs", although Saxon is a guy who tends to perfectionism in personality, but he can't avoid being corrupted by his subordinates scattered all over the world. Although Saxony's subordinates don't know much about the situation of the three most critical islands, most of these people are all kinds of staff scattered in various places, and at most some of them have been responsible for transporting various resources to the three islands, but the bits and pieces of information gathered together still give everyone a rough idea of the strength that Saxony has.
To Jisi's surprise, Yu Hai, the director of the Chinese Special Affairs Bureau, and his uncle Li Xu, the most mysterious official group in the world and said to be the most powerful combat group in the world, also appeared here. Yu Hai occasionally represented the Chinese spiritual community at some international conferences and joint actions, but the famous Li Xu is definitely a generation of grandmasters who have never seen the beginning and the end of the dragon for the spiritual circles outside of China. On Yu Hai's side, in addition to a few masters and high-ranking officials of the Special Affairs Bureau, there were also a few people who were dressed extremely casually, and they came from overseas Chinese families. Although the Chinese families scattered around the world do not have the mysterious cultivation texts and great power as some people imagine, some of them have great talent in cultivation, but they also have good strength.
As for the Druid Council as the host, President Bernard and Vice President Sun Digui are both there. And there are dozens of druids from all over the world, and most of them are well-known guys in their respective regions or fields. Among them were doctors, athletes and coaches, assassins and killers, jǐng cha and soldiers, scientists and expedition members, but many more speechless professions such as journalists, photographers, videographers, and nature columnists.
Seeing Zuo Lin arrive with Ji Si, everyone didn't show much surprise, nor did they show any hostility towards Ji Si. Everyone just glanced at Ji Si and returned to their own conversations. Seeing that the representatives from all walks of life were so complete, Ji Si also understood. To say that this is the assessment of some young cultivators is obviously too high. It is likely that this meeting of all parties will be the final preparatory meeting and pledge meeting before setting off for the attack on the three islands of Saxony. Of course, with Jisi's understanding of Zuo Lin, she was quite skeptical that there would be such an event as a pledge meeting.
The so-called assessment of those students only lasted for an hour, but in this hour, Ji Si had already seen the new forces of the major organizations cultivated in the druid training camp with various training methods. The Druid Training Camp does not feel any nervousness about their tutorials being studied and mastered by several major organizations, on the contrary, they have gained the friendship of almost all the spiritual groups in the world, and after the students, the Wilderness Executors have a large number of powerful young people who do not need their money, but work very hard, and after these people return to their respective organizations after their internships, the friendships that these people have established with the druids and the druid students in these rì will work for a long time.
The first item of the assessment is kite flying, but the kite flying string must be generated with spiritual power. The botanical druids are also able to cleverly use some vine-type plants as kite strings, and the most unfortunate thing is that the guys of the Mage Society, especially a seventeen-year-old fire mage, have to use the power of the burning heat to condense into thin threads to control the kite, which is really unimaginable, and this little guy actually does a good job.
This was followed by a series of quite interesting items such as spiritual tug-of-war, spiritual whack-a-mole, spiritual power ring, hide and seek, dodgeball, etc. It can be seen that the trainees who participated in the training are having a good time and do not have any nervousness about the assessment, and the heads of the major organizations who are sitting on the side are obviously also very happy. They were happy spectators, and in addition to the rather interesting competitions to watch, there was an open supply of the purest Scotch whisky, rye beer, and a variety of fruits developed by the druids that are now marketed all over the world.
Assessment is a formality, and this group of trainees participating in the training are all leaders of the younger generation selected by major organizations, and their own abilities are quite good, and there is absolutely no reason why they cannot pass the assessment. At the end of the assessment, the leaders of the major organizations went to a shed in the middle of the woods, which was also made of simple logs. They don't need to be kept secret, and the people who are there are undoubtedly the most reliable people, people who are trusted by everyone. There are some people in the middle who may still have some doubts about Ji Si being invited to attend such a meeting, but Ji Si's reliability is guaranteed by the Truth Society and the Holy See. In fact, when Medunko said he was willing to personally guarantee the leader of this "hostile group" that he had never masked, no one thought of it.
Zuo Lin stood up and said to everyone: "I came here today just to determine one thing. Everyone, are you ready?"
The preparation that Zuo Lin is talking about is extremely extensive. Not only in terms of human and material resources, but also in terms of everyone's mental and psychological preparations.
One by one, members of the major organizations assigned to carry out various aspects of work stood up one after another to report on their preparations.
In total, the major organizations organized nearly 1,000 cultivators to join the battle against Saxony. The various forms of special forces dispatched by various countries add up to nearly 4,000 people who directly obey the command, and the vast majority of them come from those well-known special forces of various countries. And in the battle against Saxony, all the best forces will give maximum support. The direct and indirect losses caused by the Phoenix virus to the United States are incalculable, and this time in the operation against Saxony, the United States even sent an entire aircraft carrier battle group to support at any time, and was responsible for the transportation, supply and battlefield delivery of all personnel. For the first time, the surprisingly angry Americans ignored the possible loss of intelligence and technology caused by a large number of personnel of various countries staying on various warships, including aircraft carriers.
Funding is the least problematic issue, and the generosity of the countries that are actually on the brink of life and death is much more active in financing the war than in paying their dues to the United Nations. At present, more than $20 billion of special expenses have been spent on the special account, and the appropriations for various special materials are also being put in place one after another.
What takes the most time is the development, manufacturing and equipment of various spiritual power equipment. All cultivators participating in this battle will be issued with two sets of combat costumes made of spiritual affinity fabrics. After learning that Saxony has some specially modified submarines and aircraft, some very strange combat ships and individual weapons, and each country has come up with some research results in terms of supernatural abilities. Special anti-submarine shells, torpedoes, missiles, and weapons that fire special bullets and shells. Others are strange things that only practitioners can use. Since Saxon also has a lot of undead creatures and necromancers, and some are special creatures such as vampires who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and agree with Saxony's ideas, the Holy See's garlic holy water must play a huge role this time.
Of all the weapons, the most peculiar are the bullets and small-caliber shells brought out by the Special Affairs Bureau, made using China's mysterious method of training. The reason why there is only such a medium and low caliber thing is because, in terms of power, there is no need for ammunition for large-caliber weapons at all. A 20 mm caliber special shell fired from an anti-materiel sniper rifle can be compared to a 203 mm howitzer. With less than 10,000 of these bullets in stock, these would be the best weapons to use to destroy the giant undead puppets that Saxony had placed on the islands.
