You're saying that the Dark Council is now biting like a mad dog?"

After treating the wounded tribal warriors, the druids and the priests, together with the priests, bid farewell to the tribal teams that had begun negotiations on both sides, and pursued the Dark Council in the direction of evacuation. They were very careful, and they didn't really want to run over and kill again. Although the Dark Council lost a lot of werewolves in the raid, and the mercenaries and the professionals who excavated the earth were almost dead, the two necromancers, most of the vampires, a few devil contractors, and the extremely powerful Geofitz were still there. Without the tribal warriors sharing the pressure of the battle, they may not be able to please after contacting them again. What they need to be more vigilant at this moment is whether the Dark Council will set up an ambush to deal with their pursuers.

Under such circumstances, after chasing for about 200 kilometers, they made a bend and headed for the border of Central Africa in the southwest. Once there, they will be able to find a means of transport that will take them back to Europe.

Although the three priests are very good at fighting, and their strong faith and years of experience in missionary work in dangerous places make them fearless of danger, in Africa, even if the countless dangers that are not there are no troubles for them, they cannot avoid the problem of survival in the wild that they suddenly need to face after leaving the crowd. Fortunately, there are 3 druids with them, and even if they use those unknown fruits produced in the field and some small animals they hunt, they can make a hearty feast.

Nibbling on unknown tubers, the three priests tell the druids why they came to Africa to track down the Dark Council and no matter what, to undo the Dark Council's search for the Earth's treasures. It turns out that the Dark Council is now not only fighting with the Truth Society in the United States, but also quite restless in Europe. In Eastern Europe, which has long been regarded as its own backyard by the Dark Council, there have even been several attacks on churches. What is even more difficult to accept is that the Dark Council is said to have even bigger plans, plans that could threaten hundreds of thousands of ordinary residents of Europe. In the absence of any investigation into the plans of the Dark Council, the Holy See, which has always been at odds with the Dark Council, has adopted a helpless trick: whatever the Dark Council wants to do, it will be blocked. As a result, the Dark Council is fighting on two fronts, both in the United States and Europe, and surprisingly, they have a slight advantage in the battle against the Truth Society. When the Holy See joined, they did not have much decline, and in Europe, the balance of power was maintained.

This balance of power is the origin of Zuo Lin's exclamation. The Dark Council made full use of the tactics of encirclement and reinforcement. They continue to attack ordinary people on a small scale, attacking churches, monasteries, monasteries, monasteries and even churches that are poorly prepared, and even the Holy See in various cities to receive ordinary people, and usually the missionary houses where the incompetent clergy work. Sometimes, they even left aside the institutions set up by the Holy See and pounced on the residential areas where the Catholics were concentrated. The Inquisition had limited manpower and material resources, and the priests stationed in the churches and other institutions of the Holy See could not all be skilled in warfare, and even the Dark Council had the upper hand in Europe when the Inquisition's fighting ranks were exhausted.

Only then did Zuo Lin understand why the three priests were so polite to their druids, no matter how pagan they were. This is a guy with a brain, not a fanatic who has nothing but God in his head. They knew that if they could pull the Druid Council into the warband, the Dark Council would basically be finished in Europe. Although the Druid Council is not well manned, it has a lot of good hands. Seeing Zorin's lion crest, and seeing that as a plant-based druid being able to fight a dream demon like Geofith, the second most powerful species within the Dark Council to this extent in a purely physical way, the three priests already understood how influential Zolin was in this regard.

"In the current situation, we are not spectators. Facing the priest named Barnes, Zolin said. He avoided a direct statement, and at the same time made it clear that he did not like it, and was even extremely disgusted with it. In charge of the Operations Department, Zuo Lin's command and communication skills are the best exercises in themselves, and now, he has mastered this kind of diplomatic rhetoric extremely proficiently.

Barnes didn't expect to get any promises from Zorlin, and he didn't think he was the one to negotiate with Zorin or anything. He was merely a capable but modest combatant in the Inquisition, and the papal hierarchy was different from the open and enlightened system of the Druid Council. If Pauletta met them alone, if they agreed to something happily, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, Zuo Lin would admit it. But if Barnes promised something, no one would admit it. Two powerful institutions, but with completely different temperaments.

"Don't you think it's a little weird how powerful the Dark Council is this time?" Zuo Lin asked.

Barnes nodded and said, "Indeed." The Dark Council has never had such audacity. Also in Europe, our Holy See, although it has not been smooth in these years, is still the mainstream. The Dark Council has always avoided us, trying to avoid conflict. Because a conflict is likely to develop into a battle, a decisive battle in which both sides invest enormous forces. In this case, the Dark Council will suffer mostly. As for the territory of Eastern Europe, Romania and Bulgaria, that's another matter. But never before has the Dark Council attacked the setting and institutions of the Holy See so frequently. Don't say it's now, since the establishment of the Dark Council to the present...... I don't know how many years, at least 1000 years anyway, there has never been such a situation. ”

"Dream Demon...... What's going on?" Zuo Lin asked while drinking the soup: "This Geofitz should also be regarded as a high-level real power figure, right? How can he appear here? Coming to Africa to find the treasure of the earth king is at most a trick of the wrong move, and it is worth sending Geofitz and several devil contractors?"

Barnes didn't say anything, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "There is also a strange place, that is, the Dark Council's devil contractors are unexpectedly much more. If it weren't for the fact that they had been hiding their strength, it could only be said that they had awakened in the recent past...... This statement is not accurate, and it is a recent contract. But ......"

Barnes didn't finish his sentence. The Devil Contractor is an extremely special being. Originally, the devil was only considered to be a very special constitution, or a very special transformation. However, later, everyone understood that the devil, although it may be scary, can actually become a kind of faith, not the kind of faith that is organized, theoretical, and systematic like the Holy See, but a very chaotic and irregular faith. Most of the images that can be called devils have been left in the ancient history and myths of the West, or simply those from the Near East, which is closely related to Europe. Each devil represents a kind of power, and also represents a cultivation method, but in each cultivation method, there are one or several people who can become a devil contractor. Through some items that have been used by those "devils", and through those fragments that contain the souls of those powerful beings in the past, the devil contractor can master this power better than any ordinary cultivator, and obtain some more special abilities, such as the ability to transform into the image of the devil who signed the contract during battle. Pan, Amon, Lilit, Belfigor, Berial, Adel Marez...... and a series of other names that are extremely terrifying in Western myths and legends are associated with these devil contractors. Speaking of which, the dream demon is just a special kind of devil contractor, but there are more believers in the dream demon, and there are many contractors, so many that they can form a community.

There is probably only one possibility for this situation: Satan's own contractor has appeared. Thinking of this, after mentioning it briefly, everyone had a feeling of sudden realization. No wonder the Dark Council is so powerful all of a sudden, if Satan's contractor appears, he will inevitably become a pivotal person in the Dark Council. Because, as the demon king, as the leader of many devils, as long as there are those devils' collections remaining, he can forcibly rely on rituals to create devil contractors. So...... Thinking of this, everyone suddenly understood why the Dark Council came to Africa and came to the Treasure of the Earth King. The powerful weapons and magic weapons that allowed the earth king to show his majesty and command all the native tribes in those years may be the support of a certain devil. Moreover, looking at the Dark Council dispatching such a lineup, eighty percent is still a very powerful devil.

"We're going back. "The Dark Council is likely to kill the horses, and if they leave without serious pursuit, it is very likely that something will happen, and the six of them quickly stuffed the rest of the food into their stomachs, quickly climbed into the jeep, and drove back with smoke and dust. They certainly don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting to get caught between negotiations between two different clans, but they need to avoid bigger mistakes.

On the way, a call rang out from the radio mounted on the communications Humvee that Irina had sent. A loud voice seemed to be yelling at the full range, not caring at all about being detected or interfering with someone else's communications. Looking at the powerful signal, Zorlin, Pauletta, and Irina couldn't figure out what kind of device could emit such amazing power of radio waves:

"Traveler ahead, answer the call!" was what Sophocles shouted over the radio.

Zuo Lin immediately pinned the headset to his ear, pulled down the microphone, and pressed the communication button: "You guys are finally here, the situation is urgent, immediately switch to the alpha band call." ”
