Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Silent Understanding
Sarmatia, top floor.
Instead of narrow corridors, vertical and horizontal pipes, and constantly humming production lines, the top floor is made up of clean tiled floors and wide, bright rooms.
Obviously, if the lower floor is for Chéng Rén, then the top floor is for real human beings to live and work, and the aesthetics and pursuit of the living environment unique to human beings can be seen everywhere.
As the group walked down the elegantly decorated corridors, Eleanor cautiously probed around with the mist of will, but found no enemies.
Coming to the end of the hallway, Marson pushed the door straight in.
The door opened, and there were no traps.
The room inside appeared to be a conference room, which was still empty at this point. In fact, everyone fought from the periphery to the bottom and then to the top, and all they encountered were Chéng Rén, and they had never encountered any human beings from the Holy See.
A stack of materials was placed on the table in the center of the conference room, and there was nothing else around, as if it was specially placed here for everyone to see.
Leopold, the god of war, stepped forward, picked up the file and flipped through it, and said with a smile:
"Sure enough, we were right to come up, this information is very valuable."
"Your Excellency, can you tell me what information is?" Asker asked casually.
"It's not something to hide." "There are 32 more hives of mobile drones like Sarmatia, and the Holy See has 32 more. ”
"Six of them have arrived in Italy and are about to go north to encircle the Emperor's coalition forces, and the other 13 are coming from near the Mediterranean."
"We must pass this information on to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible, so that he does not make rash strategic decisions without his knowledge."
"Of course." Marson added, "After destroying the Sarmatia. ”
"I see." Asker immediately understood.
In other words, as long as this information is brought back to the camp of the Emperor's coalition forces, the dukes' estimation of the strength of the Holy See will be immediately raised, and there will be arguments for forcing the Emperor to make concessions and withdraw his troops back home.
And seeing that the two demigods came to the conclusion that they obviously had a potential tacit understanding and consensus with the Holy See...... In other words, at least the lords of the Duchy of Thuringia and Carinthia no longer wanted to continue to accompany the emperor in this war.
The group went down the stairs along the same route, but this time they did not encounter any more enemies. To be honest, it's a very bizarre thing that the defenses inside a drone hive are so scarce, but everyone pretends not to realize it.
Coming to the door of the energy room, Marson had just pressed his hand on the door, and suddenly his face changed.
"Radiation?" Leopold immediately asked.
"Pretty strong radiation." "Perhaps when it was first designed, it was designed for Chéng Rén only." ”
Radiation penetrates and kills the tissues of living things, but Chéng Rén does not care as long as the surface is sprayed with isolation, so the fusion reactor in the energy chamber is designed to be maintained by Chéng Rén, eliminating the need for a lot of radiation protection.
"I'll leave it to you, let's go first." Leopold said this, turned to the side, and with a sword slashed through the wall.
"Okay." Marson said.
Leopold led the crowd through the gap in the wall to the outside of Sarmatia.
At this time, the outside was silent, whether it was the Chéng Rén stationed in the park, or the swarms of drones hovering in the air, they had disappeared without a trace.
Everyone passed through the force field wall again, leaving the range of the anti-magic magnetic field, and suddenly felt that their spirituality was light, and the whole person felt refreshed.
After walking a few kilometers and returning to the Po River, suddenly there was a dull loud bang that was almost deafening from behind. When everyone looked back, they saw a small mushroom cloud rising from the distance.
"Your Excellency the Bear of the Wasteland......" Eleanor said hesitantly.
"He's fine." Leopold is downplaying.
As if to confirm his words. Just a few minutes later, Marson the Wasteland Bear "flashed" in front of everyone.
The body arrives first, and then the sonic boom rolls in.
"That's it." The demigod was unharmed, and he was in a rather happy mood, and waved his big hand, "Go back to the city!" ”
At the same time, the city of Solomon and the Lateran Palace in the south also received news of the destruction of Sarmatia.
"Have you collected all the footage?"
"Hmm."
"The relevant information of the people in the Azure Sword, Raphael has sorted out and archived it. But...... The physical fitness of the demigods is really exaggerated, I really want to study it. ”
"I've done it many times, but it's been inconclusive. You forgot? ”
"Observation is collapse."

Emperor Coalition, Camp.
When they returned to the camp, they saw that the whole camp was in disarray, with burning black smoke and large blood stains everywhere.
It is said that during the mission, the Imperial camp was infiltrated and raided by the Chéng Rén Assassins.
Of course, infiltration raids are a common occurrence in the Imperial camp, but this time it was different.
The Chéng Rén assassin who came to destroy it was covered with a highly realistic silicone human skin.
"The results are in." In the tent where the emperor and the dukes gathered, the corpse of the Gopero knight was carried in by the Blade Warriors, "This body was found under the bed of Sir Gopero's tent. The time of death was in the middle of the night yesterday, the cause of death was cutting his throat, and the action was very standard, so it can be seen that he was asleep at the time and did not have time to resist, so he was killed in an instant. ”
The clerk of the Blade Samurai reported to the Emperor, then pointed to another corpse next to him.
It was the wreckage of Chéng Rén, with a large hole in its chest that had exploded, and the remaining electric sparks were pulsing. Shockingly, the surface of the wreckage was covered with a layer of silicone, and the appearance was exactly the same as normal human skin, both visually and tactilely.
"We examined the knife wound of Chéng Rén's forearm, which is shaped like the neck wound of the Gopero knight."
"In other words, this Chéng Rén assassin, disguised as a Gopero knight, first infiltrated the camp in human skin, and then penetrated the Goppelo knight's camp at night and killed him."
"Then, under this identity, it went around the camp to reconnoitre, sabotage armaments, and assassinate important targets until it was exposed."
"If it ...... this time," the Emperor's beard shook angrily, "instead of destroying everywhere, it chose to go straight to my camp and assassinate me!" So what? ”
No one answered.
"How many more of these Chéng Rén assassins are there in the camp?" The Emperor forcibly suppressed his anger and asked again.
"Your Majesty, from the day before yesterday to today, a total of 612 soldiers and knights have left the camp and returned to the camp......" The Blade Warrior clerk hurriedly reported.
"Check! Check it all out! The Emperor shook his hand angrily, "Isolate these suspects until they are investigated!" ”
"Your Majesty." The Duke of Bavaria spoke up, "Most of the knights and soldiers in the camp are unaware of the existence of this Chéng Rén assassin. If these people are hastily isolated, I am afraid that the spread and spread of rumors will be accelerated. ”
"Once the rumors spread, it will inevitably seriously damage the morale and order of the army, after all, we have not yet seen through this method of camouflage."
The dukes chimed in. For the soldiers and knights, if they knew that their companions who were fighting side by side might have been disguised by the Chéng Rén Assassins, there would be a lot of chaos in the future.
"So what do you say?" The Emperor pressed his anger again.
"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside." The Duke of Bavaria said, "Downplay the impact of this attack** and prohibit the disclosure of information by those involved." At the same time, the control of the camp order was tightened, and bladed warriors were set up on the main traffic roads to check suspicious persons. ”
"Just do as you say!" The Emperor said impatiently.
