Lana was idle, and gently plucked the scales from Edo's arm with her hand.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Edo asked, turning around.

"Your scales are so hard!" Lana tapped his scales with her paws, making a crisp click, "None of mine are so hard." ”

"Water-like dragons don't need that thick scales." Edo said, "The dragon's scales can be bulletproof when they reach a certain hardness, and there used to be a dragon of the same race in our tribe who was hit by a pistol and didn't do anything, but I guess the scales can only be hard enough to resist pistol bullets at most, and change to other calibers...... Hard. ”

"By the way, what the hell are you reading?" Lana leaned her head up, but Edo quickly closed the book and reached aside.

"What, what's there I can't see?" Lana snickered and said, "Are you reading that kind of book?" ”

"Oh, you're thinking too much." Edo showed Lana the book cover, a copy of the Boys' Adolescence Handbook, which Leopard Rees had given him yesterday.

"Oh, that's it." Lana's face flushed a little, and she stopped asking about it.

"It's noisy, you guys!" Shi Yu took off his headphones and said, "I can hear you arguing through this thing." ”

"Okay, okay, early in the morning, don't be like this." Finen said.

"Well—when do you think this storm will end?" Edo asked, closing the book and sinking into his chair.

"What you say is tantamount to asking in vain." Finen said.

"Hmph, the key is to see if Lake can find out with his conscience." "I was abused by the right wing a few days ago, and now I think about it, my stomach and chest still ache faintly. ”

"You didn't hurt your chest, what does it hurt there?" Edo asked casually.

"I didn't, but the one I was locked up with was almost gouged out of his heart."

"Isn't that caused you to run around?" Shi Yu said.

"The right wing broke in here that night and wanted to destroy our intelligence, if I hadn't intervened in time, I guess all the right wing would have been able to walk through the town blindfolded."

"Guys, come down to the intelligence room, I have something to order." Wu Qiming pushed open the door and said.

"Yes, we'll go down right now."

......

A news item was broadcast on a small, specially modified digital television in the intelligence room, which was headlined: The Right Wing Plan Initiates Talks, and the Axe Stone Plan May Take a Turnaround.

"Leopard Rees, the right wing has really found a conscience!" Edo hooked Leopard Reese on the shoulder and said, "Looks like we can retire!" ”

"Don't rejoice too soon." Leopard Ris squinted and said, "Whether this meeting can be successful or not depends on whether Lake has a conscience. ”

"Maybe the right really senses something?" Finen said.

"Perceived? ......" Leopard Rees remembered what he had said to Lake when he was imprisoned.

"They are willing to negotiate, which means that they still want to achieve peace! If we can come to an agreement, won't the matter be settled? ”

"But it's hard to tell the situation, after all, they are demons...... It used to be, I don't understand what kind of fame they want to make. Shi Yu said, "Besides, there is also the matter of Leopard Rees and Edor, only when the war stops, it is possible to gain a chance to investigate the death of Kivu." ”

"Comrades, look what I got!" Wu Qiming walked in, holding two envelopes in his hands. He laid out the envelope on the table and said, "Somebody is sending something here...... But what surprised me the most was that the logistics system of the orc world was still functioning. ”

"Who sent those letters?" Edo leaned in to see that there was a right-wing black wing logo printed in the middle of the letter, and the word OLIVE was written in English underneath, and the recipient was not written in either letter, but the sender wrote "Wang's Port"

"The Right Wing was called Oliver before it was renamed, and it seems that this envelope was dated at least twenty years ago...... Can't they spend money to make a new version of the envelope? Wu Qiming said. Leopard Ris picked up an envelope and sniffed it in front of his nose, and although the surface of the envelope was still white, it smelled of the old one, like the smell of "time" that his father had called from the yellowed notebooks of his father's former collectors.

"Isn't Wangjiagang a right-wing headquarters?" Shi Yu said.

"Look at this icon, it must be something sent to us by the right wing." "It turns out that the right wing used to have a name called 'Oliv'. ”

"And since this is from the right wing, what will he send us?" Edo thought for a moment, and suddenly said in a frightened tone, "Is it anthrax mail?" ”

"What, Edo?" "The right wing is carrying out biochemical attacks on its own land, isn't this beating itself? ”

At this point, the TV host began to speak: "The official right-wing claims that invitations have been sent to everyone who will attend the conference, including rebel forces, government officials, and all sectors of society......"

"Well, I just said it on TV." Shi Yu said.

"Is this an invitation?" Leopard Rees said, "Wu Qiming, I guess you must have a share." ”

"Open it and take a look!" Finen said.

Wu Qiming picked up one of the envelopes, and the others automatically took a step back. He looked at the group, then tore open the seal and pulled out a blue plastic hard card. The front of the card is printed with the same thing as on the envelope.

"Leopard Rees, you're right." Mr. Wu placed the card on the table, then flipped it over — an English version of his name engraved on top of a small string of barcodes, and next to his name was written in English, which translates as "participant."

"Looks like there's one more person going to go." Wu Qiming put the card back in his pocket and looked at another envelope in a blink of an eye.

"Is it Greenwich?" Edo asked.

"Probably not, Greenwich cards won't come to this place if they were to be sent. The right wing is very cautious, and in order to send this thing out accurately, they must have put a lot of effort into scouting people's movements. ”

"Maybe." Leopard Rice picked up the envelope, "If it's his, then I'll open it for him!" He gently opened the envelope and took out the card inside, which was different from before, the color of the card was blue, and he turned it back to see that the name was not Greenwich or anyone else, it was his own name "Nikolai Boris", which was printed next to it as "Speaker".

"Guys......" Leopard Rees showed his card, "the second person is me!" ”

"Leopard Reese?!"

"How did you get invited to this kind of thing?" Edo asked, "I really thought it was for Greenwich." ”

"Maybe it's their conspiracy." Finen said.

"Anyway, Lake has sent me the card, and I'm going to be attending the conference as a speaker, I guess...... VIP or something. ”

"Maybe the right wing is trying to harm you." Shi Yu said, "You know, you were just caught and abused by the right-wing just a few days ago. ”

"But Lake may really have a 'conscience find,' as I said." Leopard Rees replied, "Maybe it's because I was captured that I was invited, and being captured was a chance to meet Ryker." ”

"What kind of logic is this?"

"Okay, I'm the one who was invited." Wu Qiming waved his hand and said, "If something really happens, I will protect him." ”

"Then you go." "But you, and Wu, you have to understand that this meeting doesn't show that the right wing is benevolent, so you two have to be careful." ”

"Got it." Leopard Rees replied.

"Wow, Edo, it's the first time I've heard you say such forward-looking things." Wu Qiming sighed.

"Well...... It's just a sudden wit. ”

......

Before leaving, Wu Qiming brought the pistol that Leopard Rees had used before.

"I helped you change the bullets, we have guns and bullets here in a hurry, so we can only bring tracer."

"Thank you." Leopard Rees took the pistol.

"The card says that everyone can carry a non-automatic pistol during the meeting, but it must be empty before entering the venue." Wu Qiming put away his gun and said.

"You just threw the gun at me so confidently?" Leopard Rees asked.

"You're a member of RABT now, why am I not at ease?" Wu Qiming opened the car door and said, "Let's get in the car, the meeting will start the day after tomorrow, and we will rush there in advance, so that we can have time to stop and rest, see the scenery, and have lunch." ”

"Here we are."

The car left Shanhong Town. Leopard Ris sighed in the co-pilot, looking at the shattered highway and the dilapidated houses in the distance, he thought to himself, Wangjiagang may be one of the few "homelands" in the entire orc world after the war began.

The conference took place a day later as scheduled. The entire Wangjiagang suddenly became crowded, and the army on the right flank strictly blocked the place, and even the waterway through the Baisha River had been cut off. As soon as Leopard Rees and Wu Qiming got out of the car, they were besieged by a group of reporters, who spent a lot of effort to rush into the headquarters building, and the two of them lay directly on the railing, out of breath.

"It's horrible." Wu Qiming said, "I'll go to the toilet, you wait here." ”

"Okay." Leopard Rees nodded in reply. After Wu Qiming left, he quietly took out his hand to grab it, withdrew a bullet from the magazine, and fiddled with it in his hand, and at some point, he even saw that the bullet began to glow, and finally turned into a real silver bullet. He blinked, and the illusion vanished.

"It seems that another person managed to escape the reporter and break in." Leopard Rees heard a familiar female voice, and when he turned his head, he saw Teacher Zhou Yan and another dragon walking towards him.

"Teacher Zhou!" He shouted.

"This outfit really doesn't fit on you." Teacher Zhou joked.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? I'm one of the academic representatives! ”

"Really?" After Leopard Rees finished speaking, he tilted his head to look at the sky-blue dragon behind the teacher. The wings behind the dragon are small and resemble the fins of a fish, and it seems that he resembles a water dragon like Lana.

"Who is he?" Leopard Rees asked.

"The dragon's name is Diamon, and he is a chemical technology researcher at the Ivac Technology Group."

"Nice to meet you, Diamon." Leopard Rees said with a smile.

"Hello, Leopard Reese." Diamon said.

"Ivac is a very powerful technology conglomerate under the name of the right." "I've heard that you invented the nanomatrix, right?" ”

"That's right, it's just that the nanomatrix hasn't been officially put into production, after all, it's a special period." Diamon scratched his head and said.

"Leopard Reese, let's go." Wu Qiming shouted not far away.

"Okay, I'll be right over!"

"Who is he?" The teacher asked.

"Oh, his name is Wu Qiming, and he is against ...... No, no, he was the head of the armed intervention team for the attack, and he was also a participant. ”

"That's right. Then you go over. ”

"Okay, goodbye, teacher."

"We're going too." Zhou Yan said to Diamon.

......

The conference hall was much more spacious than Leopard Rees had imagined. Under the blue walls was a large pulpit, and behind the pulpit hung a pair of silver-gray wings that had been worn by Olive to the present day.

"Please take a seat, everybody. The entire Wangjiagang is now under full martial law by the military, and in the event of an emergency, we can guarantee that everyone can evacuate safely. Lake said through the microphone.

"Where am I supposed to sit?" Leopard Rees asked.

"There's a name tag on every seat, and you go to find where yours is." Wu Qiming said, "I found my own. ”

Just as Leopard Rees was looking for his nameplate, Lake stopped him.

"You've got something to talk about later, so there's no seat," Lake said, "Come here, I'll arrange it later." ”

Reluctantly, Leopard Rees moved to Lake's side.

"Just me?" He asked.

Lake just shrugged.

"The meeting is about to start, you come to the stage with me, and you will go up when I say so." Lake said, "Are you ready to talk about something?" ”

"Ready, my Chinese teacher told me to be ...... when I speak"

"Okay, okay, you go quiet." Lake walked up to the stage, and there was a not-so-enthusiastic applause from below.

"First of all, I'm glad that you have kept your promise to be here for the talks." "At the beginning of the meeting, I wanted to start with one person, and from that person, we also extended the focus of today's meeting. After he finished speaking, Ann projected a photo on the two large screens on the left and right walls - it was Kivu, the diplomat who had been murdered earlier.

"I think everyone knows that Kivu is the chief diplomat of the 'Dragon Administration' in the orc world, and has always been admired by everyone, but two months ago, this beloved figure was suddenly assassinated. And as you comrades from the right also know, shortly after the assassination of Kivu, high-ranking right-wing personnel like Jimmy, Lin Yihui and Santos were also killed, and I was almost stabbed to death...... These events became the fuse for the later 'Axe Stone Project', and their death not only made me resentful, but also made me doubt the heart of the new race of dragons once again. ”

Leopard Rees noticed that Lake looked at him, and that look was firm and sharp, which made Leopard Rees feel a little overwhelmed.

"But that's all in the past, and we've done a lot of research with others......"

"Is abuse also part of the investigation?" Leopard Rees joked in his heart.

"I found that things were far from being as simple as we thought, and that it was not as simple as an ordinary criminal investigation, or such a brutal and bloody massacre as I did. But there was one man who studied these assassinations in more depth than any of us in the room. ”

Knowing that Lake was talking about him, Leopard Rees moved slightly, and then, he felt something hard in his pocket, and took it out, and it was actually a silver bullet.

"Who dropped this bullet?" Leopard Rees asked to himself.

"Next, I would like to give my voice to someone I trust, Nicholas Leopardis." As soon as Lake finished speaking, there was applause from the audience, and Leopard Rees hesitated for a moment and slowly walked up to the pulpit.

"Delegates from different fields, it is an honour for me to speak as the only minor representative in today's meeting......"

Before Leopard Rees finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"He's a kid, how can he come to a meeting like this?"

Nicolas Leopardis...... He seems to have appeared in the newspapers...... It's the boy who has been on fire with the right! ”

Teacher Zhou Yan was the only one in the audience, still sitting in her seat unfazed.

"He used to give a good speech at the morning meeting, and I don't know how he performed in the face of actual combat." She said.

Leopard Rees took a deep breath and said: "After the start of Project Axestone, I and my partners carried out an investigation into the murder of Kivu, and although we encountered many difficulties during this period, we still have a lot of results in our investigation. ”

He took out the silver bullet from his pocket and said: "The murderer who killed Kivu used this type of bullet, and to our surprise and to the surprise of everyone present, this bullet was found at the Livant range managed by Lin Yihui, but the subsequent murder of Lin Yihui shows that the murderer is not Lin Yihui, nor is he any loyal right-wing member, but a murderer who wants to destroy the peace of the orc world, and he wants to use these murders to take advantage of the contradictions between the right wing and other institutions to fan the flames, Take the opportunity to stir up trouble in the orc world and let a civil war break out in the orc world, so as to take advantage of the fire to rob. So, I would like to say that it is wise for the right wing to stop the move of Project Axe Stone today, and we need to change our thinking from ordinary criminal investigation to the maintenance of the entire orc world system. ”

"I think we all made the mistake of treating each other as complete enemies, but I'm glad that there is a resolution to them. What I want to say is that the death of Kivu has brought about today's chain of storms, we can no longer add fuel to the fire of this storm, in short, we can't let the person who killed Kivu succeed, he may be a member of the previous 'splinter forces', the splinter forces may be entrenched behind the portal, ready to launch the next attack, the previous 'dragon removal plan' has planted the seeds of contradictions, if those people succeed in exploiting these contradictions, then I think the orc world will not be able to get out of this anti-secession war"

The people in the audience began to talk, and the voices were louder than before, but this time they were not talking about the boy Leopard Reese.

"Chief, there are several unknown armies attacking Wangjiagang, and we can't hold it anymore!" A sudden shout came from the walkie-talkie in Lake's ear, and as he listened, the floor of the conference room shook violently several times, and the lights above his head began to flicker. The scene began to be agitated.

"What's going on?!" Lake asked.

"We were attacked by unknown forces, they are not rebels, we have not seen any iconic objects on the enemy! ...... They're coming, lead everyone out of the way now! ......”

"What do you mean...... Feed...... Hear me? ......" there was no movement from Lake's intercom except for a commotion. He didn't have time to think about whether this was the return of the separatist forces, as Leopard Rees had said, and the first thing he thought of now was to get everyone out of the way.

"Everybody hurry to the basement...... Don't ask why! He shouted. Just as people rushed out of the conference room, a large hole was blown open in the ceiling, and a group of unknown soldiers jumped in from the outside, and without saying a word, opened fire on the crowd, and several people were immediately hit. Leopard Rees was targeted by one of the soldiers, and while he was still standing on the pulpit, Lake lunged up to the pulpit, knocking Leopard Rees to the ground, and then shot the soldier dead.

"Do you want to eat guns? Been out there for so long! ”

"Lake ......"

"Leopard Rees, your guess just now may have come true!" Lake said.

"What the hell are those people coming from?"

"I want to know too." Lake said as he shot outside.

"We'll have to find a place to get out." Leopard Rees said.

"Well, this is the first time we have reached an ideological consensus!"

At this time, an uneasy atmosphere spread around everyone, and the breaking news broadcast on TV sublimated this atmosphere again: Wangjiagang was under attack by enemy troops.

"Looks like there's something going on over there." Edo said.

"Shall we save them, then?" Lana asked.

"If you go, you will die." Shi Yu sighed and said, "But Leopard Rees will definitely come back safely." ”

A mech jumped through a crack in the ceiling into the chamber, its muzzle already aimed at the Leopard Reese.

"Longsword Mecha?!" Seeing that things were not good, Diamon rushed forward. As soon as Leopard Rees and Lake tried to escape, the machine guns began to rain huge bullets at them, Leopard Rees closed his eyes, and suddenly there was a sound like glass shattering in his ears, and he opened his eyes, and there was another Diamon beside him besides Lake. He was holding a small blue jar in his hand, and as the bullet approached them, it was suddenly fended off by some force and fell to the ground.

"That's the nanomatrix you want to see." "But this thing has a better name — handheld stance." ”

As soon as the mech's cannon finished firing, a helicopter flew over, and several rockets were fired at the mech, and the steel monster was immediately blown to pieces.

"It's going to collapse!" "Let's get out of here!" ”

"So how can we get to the ground safely from the twenty-seventh floor?" Diamon asked.

At that moment, hurried footsteps could be heard in the stairwell outside the conference room.

"Oh no, the enemy is coming up the stairs!" Diamon shouted.

"I wanted to take the stairs just now, but now it's impossible." Lake said.

"So what are we going to do?" Leopard Rees asked.

Lake thought for a moment and pointed to the glass wall beside him.

"What? You want us to jump from the twenty-seventh floor? ”

"There's a pool down there, it shouldn't matter." As he spoke, Lake broke the connection of one of the pieces of glass with his pistol and kicked the one down.

"There's no time! We can only do this until we think of a better way. "We're ready to ...... Jump!! ”

The three of them jumped and instantly floated in mid-air, and Leopard Rees felt every vein in his body tied up like the ropes Santa Claus pulled on a reindeer, and he could even clearly hear his heart beating in the sound of the air currents arguing. He was about to lose it. At that moment, everything was gone, and he landed in the fountain with Lake and the others.

"Leopard Rees, grab my hand!" Diamon swam to shore first, and he reached out to pull out the cheetah, which was still fluttering in the water. When the three of them dragged their wet bodies ashore, they found that the entire Wangjiagang had become a mess.

"Leopard Rees, are you alright?" Wu Qiming and others also happened to come here.

"We're fine." He replied.

"Looks like Leopard Rees is right." Wu Qiming said, "There are really people behind the scenes. ”

"And they have something from Ivac." Diamon said, "You should have seen the mech, and that's the weapon we developed earlier!" I guess your impression is still stuck in the prototype! ”

"Now that Wangjiagang has been surrounded, what should we do next?" Wu Qiming said, "Do I want to call someone from RABT to come over?" ”

"No, we have to save our strength now, even if Wangjiagang is destroyed, we can't let our backs be beaten."

"Isn't there a train station near Wangjiagang?" Diamon said.

"Of course, you guys should go there first!" Lake said.

Leopard Rees is just getting started, but he finds that he is the only one who has left.

"Aren't you together?"

"I'm the master of this place, and I'll never give up here!" Lake said.

"Today, I'm on the same page as Lake." Wu Qiming changed the magazine for the pistol.

"I'll stay here and see what this group of people are up to." Diamon said.

"If that's the case, then I'll ...... too"

Lake waved his hand and said, "Leopard Rees, you've done well enough today. I found out that you have something in your body that will change the fate of the orc world, and we can't afford to lose you, so you must survive! ”

"I ...... All right. Leopard Rees nodded, and ran into the underground passage as Ryker had instructed.

"Alright, survivors." "We're searching around Wangjiagang to see if there's anyone in need, and the army will help us out of big troubles, so good luck, comrades!" Lake said.

The crowd erupted in shouts.

Leopard Rees fell asleep on the train - he had spent a lot of energy preparing the materials for his speech in the past few days, and he just wanted to rest now, because the next thing he was about to face was the catastrophe that would truly engulf the entire orc world.
