Chapter 158: The Council!
Sadeth's plea ushered in the rest of the people looking at each other, and no one responded, not even Anecclesis VII.
He only groaned, and after an awkward silence, he spoke for a long time.
"Sit down first, Sateth."
"It's rare that everyone from the Holy Kite Academy can gather together, let's listen to the information that An Jiu brought back outside, maybe this beast tide is not as simple as we imagined."
[An Jiu: A homeless child adopted by An Daoqi twenty years ago, he is currently the intelligence leader of the City Lord's Mansion, and he is good at the art of divine reconnaissance, and he is a fifth-order war spirit master. 】
With An Daoqi's words, a slightly shy young man stood up in his seat, not in his twenties, already weathered.
Facing many strong people in the same hall for the first time, he forcibly endured the excitement in his heart and said seriously: "There are a total of seventy-two departments in the Intelligence Department of the City Lord's Mansion, which have a clear and clear division of geography, strength, weather, hostile forces, etc., and also have a very professional foundation. ”
"Ten hours ago, when the dark beasts surrounding the city first appeared, I dispatched all my intelligence officers."
"Now gather the information that some of them brought back at the cost of sacrifice, plus the rumors we have heard before, after sorting it out, I can tell you in charge of the dark beast group outside the city, there are 1,945 dark beasts in the first order, 981 in the second order, 500 in the third order, 300 in the fourth order, 230 in the fifth order, 100 in the sixth order, and unknown in the seventh order."
As soon as An Jiu's words were finished, the entire conference hall became strangely quiet, and it was no longer noisy.
Except for An Daoqi, who seemed to have known about this information for a long time, everyone showed a look of shock, even the expression of the old dean of the Holy Kite became ugly, and the previous imposing Sathis sat back on the leather chair.
They didn't care about the numbers in front of them at all, and the number of fifth- and sixth-order dark beasts in the end was what really frightened them.
Although the powerhouses present were at least fifth-order, and the seats were all full, this number was only barely a fraction of the number of the two hundred and thirty battle spirit beasts outside the city.
Perhaps the sixth-order general spirit master among these people can easily destroy multiple battle spirit dark beasts, but what about other people's general spirit beasts, a hundred!
This number is like a huge iron stone weighing down on everyone's heart.
The most worrying thing is that there are an unknown number of Holy Spirit Beasts in the Beast Tide, preferably none at all, so that with the Holy Spirit Combat Power of the City Lord and his contract beast Immortal Xuanhuang Lord, he can still resist the attack of this Beast Tide, otherwise the name of the Eastern Emperor will be in danger.
"Commander Yasu, can you guarantee the accuracy of this information?"
"Yes, yes."
“……”
This information is really shocking, and it is inevitable that the leaders of the Holy Kite Academy will question it.
But in the face of these questions, An Jiu smiled lightly.
"Not to mention anything else, if there is a mistake in the number of dark beasts counted among them, I am willing to sacrifice the head of Xiang for a long time."
As soon as the words were spoken, all those who questioned fell silent, and no one dared to joke at such a meeting.
To their surprise, An Jiu seemed to be speechless and endless.
He continued: "Actually, I still have information here that I haven't said. ”
"Have you ever thought about why when the Sword Emperor Famous City was about to suffer due to the Wild Corpse Mountain, our Eastern Emperor Famous City also ushered in such an abrupt but powerful tide of dark beasts."
"All this is said to be accidental, I'm afraid not many people believe it."
"Although I don't know what the purpose of these dark beast tides outside the gates is to besiege our city in an organized and disciplined way, I do know that their actions are secretly instigated."
"I'm sure everyone has heard of this secretly instructed force, it's called 'Undead'."
Call~
As the words fell, the entire conference hall resounded with the sound of gasps one after another.
How could they not know the 'undead', the terrifying force of darkness?
As well-known dark forces, they are at the same level as the Shikigami Thieves in terms of strength, and they are all existences that dare to wrestle with the Human Empire.
It's just that what makes them strange is such a terrible force from above, why should they go to great lengths to deal with a famous city like them that is not even as good as a kingdom, and send dark beasts to encircle and suppress it, and directly descend on a strong man to destroy the famous city of the Eastern Emperor with a backhand.
At this point, once again in a panic.
An Jiu continued under the gaze of An Daoqi: "You don't need to panic. ”
"Although the forces behind the dark beast tide are the 'undead', it may be that due to the majesty of the great Oliphia Empire, they do not dare to directly send a king-level or above powerhouse to attack, so it may only be an extremely small branch of the 'undead' that will be used against us."
"As for their purpose, it's no longer beyond the reach of my intelligence department."
"I'm not saying this to intimidate everyone, just to raise everyone's attention to this beast tide, and the current situation does not allow us to be optimistic."
An Jiu's words were effective, and after his words, no one in the audience laughed and talked to each other, showing a relaxed expression, and no one threatened to destroy the beasts like Sathas before, and the atmosphere became depressing.
In the end, they all fell silent, and the Holy Kite Elder and the Seven City Lords of the Ann Evangelism Dao slowly raised their eyes instead.
Their expressions were equally unwavering, as if they were indifferent to life and death.
The old dean looked at An Evangelism, and his hoarse voice sounded in the quiet conference hall: "Since this meeting has been convened, I think you already have an idea to deal with it. ”
Hearing the sound, the corners of An Evangelism's seven mouths hung up in a slight arc.
Although there is an age gap, they have at least been comrades-in-arms, and only this old man understands his character.
"The Eastern Emperor City can't hold this attack."
His first sentence was so simple and neat that it made people's hearts twitch, and it obviously didn't mean to take care of everyone's mood.
"Time is of the essence, and the dark beasts will attack the city at any time."
"At that time, I will go out to meet the soldiers who are willing to stay behind to meet the battle, old man, you take the people in the city with the hope of your academy to break through and escape from Chenghou City, although there may also be some dark beasts there, it should not be able to stop you."
"Finally...... I'll buy some more time. ”
At this point, the old dean's cloudy eyes burst into shock, he did not question the seriousness of the situation, but his face was still angry.
"You are still so young to be able to step into the Holy Spirit level, and you will not have the opportunity to step into the king-level realm in the future, and you are a rare talent in the country."
"On the contrary, the old man is just a skeleton of bones that is about to die, and the affairs of the palace should be left to the old man!"
The atmosphere became inexplicably tragic because of the old dean's anger.
The people sitting around could only tighten their faces and had lost their right to speak, compared to these two people, their strength was too weak.
Regarding the old dean's words, An Evangelism smiled lightly and spoke proudly.
"You can't, you're too weak."
"If there is a Holy Spirit Rank there, your old bones are not dead."
"I'm different, even if there is a Holy Spirit outside the city, with the cooperation of me and the Immortal Xuanhuang, the outcome is really unpredictable, and dying in battle is even more unnecessary."
His smile was full of embarrassment in the quiet of the room, but no one found it weird.
Because everyone understands that if this beast tide is related to the 'undead', the appearance of the Holy Spirit level is almost a matter of certainty, it is just a matter of quantity.
In other words, even if it is a powerful city lord, it is the end of who stays and who dies.
In the enclosure, Anya, who was biting her lips, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Lord of the City, you can break through with us, don't you have to be a queen?"
At this, An Budaoqi looked at her, his smile gradually faded, he became focused, and shook his head.
"No matter what the purpose of the undead is, this is the city I have worked so hard to create, and my flesh and blood have long been integrated into it, and any of you can go, but I can't."
As he spoke, he directly interrupted Anya's words that he still wanted to persuade, and said with a smile: "Anya, you are the favorite tutor of the two children in my family, and they will ask you in the future." ”
