Braun, the imperial transcendent scholar of the Fifth Age, once proposed a famous "law of loneliness of the transcendent", namely:

Transcendent people are not suitable for long-term cooperation with others.

The reason is simple: imagine you're a low-level Transcendent, and now you can choose whether or not to partner with another Transcendent.

If the other person's sequence does not coincide with yours, it means that there is no common interest between you. He needs the potion of the "Flame" sequence, and you need the recipe of the "Mind" sequence, so whose requirements should be met first when the two work together?

If the other person's sequence highly overlaps yours, the situation is even more complicated and terrifying. Because you have to be on the lookout for the other party to suddenly hand you a knife in a bad situation, and then take away the transcendent properties on your corpse - after all, in the case of sequence approximation, the hand-pinched trait is very efficient at absorption.

At the end of the day, the transcendent world is highly exclusive and predatory, with no connection between different sequences and a high degree of competition between the same sequence, so the vast majority of transcendents are absolutely inclined to act alone, and only have to consider cooperating with others when they encounter problems that cannot be solved by a single person.

Even so, cooperation based on ephemeral interests is extremely short-lived.

But what the knights of Thuringia see now is such a strange mercenary group:

All the transcendents, with an average level close to Lv.9, overlap or do not coincide with each other's sequences, but they work together and fight intimately, without being wary of the other party coveting their own transcendent characteristics, or the team will be biased in the promotion focus.

If Albrecht was a veteran and transcendent, he would have been very interested in the organizational structure of the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment, but unfortunately he was just an ordinary young noble knight from the Wettin family.

As they arrived in the center of the town, they heard a loud roar of the dragon.

A large number of demons fell from the sky, struggling in the dark green acid, and soon their bodies quickly dissolved like sugar cubes that had fallen into hot water.

Coming out of the dilapidated building was Hedwig, the demigod of the Saxon family, who nodded slightly as he looked at the people who came to support him.

Then Albrecht suddenly realized that the girls in the mercenary group around him, like the demigod in front of him, were transcendent beings who had abandoned the Catholic teachings and chose to be accompanied by secrecy and loneliness.

This knight is an extremely traditional figure, on the one hand, he feels that this is quite inappropriate (but he can't say what is wrong), and on the other hand, after all, he has received the rescue grace of the other party, so he can't say much, so he can only frown and explain his intention to the demigods, and ask His Majesty and the Dukes about the situation.

"Your Majesty and Lord Duke are all well." Hedwig, the dragon of acid, said lightly, "You follow me to purge the demons in the town. ”

With a word, the demigod took the command of the scene in his hands, and everyone naturally didn't say anything, after all, the current level ceiling Lv.15, those who can use the law are super thighs, just hold it carefully.

So everyone followed the demigods around on patrol. Wherever there were demons, the Acid Erosion Dragon coughed in that direction, and with a spit as if spitting, it split into countless tiny green droplets in the air, as if spiritually pounced on the devils.

The moment the droplet hits the devil, countless dark green acid flashes out of the opponent's germanium-red body, dissolving the devil's muscles, tendons, bones, and carapace in five or six seconds—these seemingly inconspicuous droplets have the strange ability to convert the body fluids on the target's body into acid.

No need to fight, no need to cast spells, just a simple spit, and wipe out all the devils encountered on the road.

The power of the demigods is terrifying.

Albrecht could not see the difference, and the girls watched the whole time, and their hearts were terrified.

When the demigods could unleash their law abilities to their fullest, the terrifying strength they displayed was far beyond the boundaries of their imagination.

The little pride that had been built up by defeating countless powerful enemies in the past had also disappeared without a trace at this time.

The team cleared the town of demons and saved nearly a hundred knights by the way. By the time they returned to the center of town and the surviving knights and their respective dukes had converged, it was almost dawn.

"This must be a long-planned rebellion!" Emperor Otto slammed the table and roared in rage, "Someone must have leaked our marching route!" A premeditated assassination in this town! ”

The cause of the demonic attack has been ascertained, it is the basement of a house northeast of the town, where someone has used a special spell to open the portal to purgatory, causing a large number of low-level demons to invade the main plane.

The owner of the house, along with the people who arranged the ceremony, died in the basement as a sacrifice, and the body was so badly burned and mutilated that it was completely unrecognizable.

The dukes sat around the table, exchanging subtle messages with each other's eyes.

The emperor's suspicion is actually not unreasonable: when the army enters the mountain, it must only take the avenue, and it is not difficult for those who have a heart to calculate the foothold through the location and route.

However, there were only low-level devils in the whole attack of this attack, and it was too child's play, how could the demigods be solved by this devil? The Acid Etching Dragon alone could easily solve the mutation in the whole town, not to mention that there were still others who hadn't made a move.

Unless the enemy's purpose is not to assassinate...... So, what is the purpose of just setting off an anomaly that is destined to be easily suppressed?

"You're right, Your Majesty." Duke Rudolph of the Wolf family took the lead in saying, "There must be an enemy lurking among us, and the Wolf family will immediately conduct a wave of internal scrutiny." ”

As the loser of the civil war, no matter what he justified it, there would definitely be people who would try to pour dirty water on the Wolf family, so Duke Rudolph preemptively took the task of censorship on himself, lest anyone use this to mess with their family.

The emperor's face palely palped a little, but he heard Conrad, Duke of Franconia, snort coldly, took out a posture of leaning on the old and selling the old, and said sarcastically:

"Lurking? People are painstakingly lurking in the emperor's ** team, just to get some little devils to come out for a Halloween party in the middle of the night and delay everyone's night rest? ”

The emperor's face was difficult to look at. However, after all, the griffin family has become extinct, and the old griffin duke has no scruples when he mocks it, and the emperor can't help him for a while.

What's more, what he ridiculed was exactly the bull's-eye: if someone is really lurking in the army, wouldn't it be a surprise to make this senseless mutation?

"Do you have any opinions, Lord Conrad?" The Emperor asked with an unkind face.

"I have no opinion." Duke Griffon retorted angrily, "I'm a duke, not a private detective, are all the clerks of the Blade Samurai dead?" ”

The Blade Warrior Clerk's Department, a professional intelligence agency affiliated with Emperor Otto, discovered the basement of the source of the mutation during their post-mortem investigation, but the clue came to an abrupt end - all the people involved had been killed, and there was no way to start.

So the emperor's face soon turned black as a piece of charcoal, and he muttered something "You have been fired", while the blade warrior next to him turned a deaf ear and knew it.

The emperor is talking angrily, what he usually likes to do most is to score the performance of his ministers, engage in the last elimination system, and then dismiss the most unpleasant ministers, in the name of "no one knows management better than me".

However, he certainly could not dismiss a duke in the same way as he dismissed a minister.
