In silence, the skin of the blood pupil's right hand suddenly cracked, revealing the hand of the outfit. Immediately after, a seed was pressed into Jules's chest.

The next moment, the blood pupil stood up and walked out of the cave without looking back.

Elder Hans and Merck waited outside the cave. Seeing the appearance of the blood pupil, he hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"She needs to rest. Tell someone to stay here and don't disturb her. ”

"Yes, my lord. , Elder Hans replied respectfully. Only then did the blood pupil turn around and leave without looking back.

Looking at the back of the blood pupil, Elder Hans's face finally softened. After a moment of silence, he said to Merck. "Tell me the truth, do you have any idea of this god? ，

"I ......, Merck couldn't imagine that Elder Hans would suddenly ask such a question, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. His face was blue and red. But they couldn't speak.

Seeing his expression, Elder Hans immediately understood. He sighed. Then he said categorically. "It doesn't matter what you think. From now on, forget about it! ”

"Elder!?" Merck was shocked.

"Forget it!" Elder Hans interrupted him and shouted fiercely.

Looking at his heavy expression, Merck's face gradually turned white. He took a deep breath and glanced back into the cave.

"I know, Elder. I'll forget. ”

"I hope you do what you say." Elder Hans didn't look back, but his tone was indescribably heavy. "Remember, you are a divine warrior. The purpose of your existence is to become a sword in the hands of my lord. And the sword ...... Emotions are not allowed. If you can't, then it's better to give up. ”

"The glory of the warriors of God shall not be tarnished."

"Yes." Merck bowed her head in response. His eyes grew firm.

Before he knew it, his fists were clenched, and a little blood oozed from between his fingers............

On the other side, the Blood Pupil was strolling on its way back. The vestment in his right hand is gone. His expression remained serious.

In fact, he was a little distressed.

Seed seeds are not generated randomly. The separation of each seed requires two costs. One price to pay is energy, which is mitigated by the fact that he obtains the energy conversion unit. And the other cost is a big problem. That's the highly cohesive, fortified cell.

It is important to know that the body of the colonization of the Dao is composed of countless strengthening cells, and every time a part is isolated, a part of the chalky colonization is lost. Of course, in order to strengthen the characteristics of the cell, the colonization can multiply indefinitely under the premise of energy. But in the end, it is not the original basal cell. Therefore, the function or activity of the infinity is a little worse. It can only be repaired and compensated for by prolonged self-modulation.

It can be said that if a daughter seed is separated, the combat power of the breeding suit will be weakened by half a point for a certain period of time. Although the degree of weakening is not large, it can add up to a considerable amount of separation. It is enough to affect the combat effectiveness of the blood pupil.

These two costs limit the rate at which colonophytes can spawn. And in addition to this, there is another key factor. The limit is the number of descendants that can be generated.

That is the control ability of the core.

Each isolated progeny seed leaves a genetic code inside the core nucleus so that the core can be controlled at any time. It can be due to distance and calculation. There is a base for the actual control of the core. And this base will also change depending on the strength of the receptor and the quality of the seeds

To put it simply, if the base of core core energy control is 100, then receptors like the twin siblings and Jules, who have obtained high-quality seeds and have extremely strong combat power, will occupy at least 20 control bases. And low-level seeds like the Blood Pupil intends to separate from the Servant Warriors will only need, or less.

(A warrior like Wright also needs to occupy a base, which is probably close to or equal to the high-level seed.) However, implantation is not required. And he himself can also obtain the authority granted by the core nucleus to participate in the control of receptors with a lower base than his. ）

This is Crodier's pyramid battle system. And it was by relying on this system that Crodil gathered a large number of strong warriors in a short period of time, spreading like a plague.

The blood pupil had just separated a seed, which was equivalent to consuming nearly one-fifth of the base. That's not a small amount. As a result, the number of servants he can recruit is extremely limited.

However, this is also temporary. The control base of the core core is not constant, but gradually increases with the evolution of colonization. In particular, the evolution of the core body can bring about a leap forward. This is also the reason why in times of great chaos, the conquerors of Claudir were free to organize tens of thousands of legions at will. ,

Back at the igloo, Blood Pupil just saw Robbie sip the last bit of coffee. Then she smiled at him

"It is said that outsiders have been found in the tribe?"

"I don't think you want to know who she is." Blood Pupil walked over and sat down across from Robbie. I took the coffee pot next to me.

"But you'll tell me, won't you?" Robbie said with a smile still on his face. It exudes a reassuring warmth.

Feeling this breath, Blood Pupil felt a little better. He smiled reluctantly. Then I poured myself a cup of coffee too.

He took a sip before speaking.

"It's Jules."

"Is that her?" Robbie was slightly stunned, but there was no big surprise. "No wonder...... I think with the quality of those ships, she is the only one who can keep up with us. Why, you didn't fight, did you? ”

After the relay of the twin siblings, Robbie knew about the battle between the blood pupil and Jules.

"Nope. , the blood pupil shakes the fork. "In fact, it can't be fought at all. Because she was seriously injured. ，

"What!?" Now Robbie was really surprised. He knew Jules' strength, and even he reminded Blood Pupil to be careful of this queen of hearts. It can be said that without the use of "Heavenly Arms", even Robbie is no match for this girl. In particular, Jules's "metal neglect" is the nemesis of all armor. Robbie couldn't think of anyone else who could hurt her here.

"Could it be that there is a meteor star here?" Robbie's expression became serious, and a gleam flashed in his eyes

If things really go as he imagined, then this time the trouble is really big. A complete meteor-star warrior is definitely not something that a few of them can shake. You may not even be able to touch the edges and you will ** it will be lost.

"This ......" Blood Pupil was also stunned. Something I can't figure out. "I don't know. But she told me...... Beware of odd numbers. ，

"Odd!?" Robbie was startled. "Did you hear me right? Odd indeed? ”

"I believe in my ears. , Blood Pupil glanced at Robbie angrily. It's strange why he would react so much. Could this odd number be really powerful?

"It's a big problem. Robbie smiled wryly. Said to the blood pupil. "I know what you're thinking. But this odd number is more than powerful. If I could, I'd rather run into a meteor star than run into him. ”

"So serious?"

"Yes, very seriously. Because odd numbers are not alone. Rather, it's a squad of mercenaries. Robbie took a deep breath and said with a serious face.

"A very well-known squad of mercenaries. All are made up of trainee mercenaries. ”

All of them are trainee-level troop squads!?

The blood pupil also opened her mouth wide, not expecting to hear the news.

This is a group order that cannot be lost. You must know that most of the enemies encountered by the blood pupil in the past were vassal-level, and even if they occasionally encountered a trainee, they were all single-handed. But I've never had any experience fighting with a mercenary squad. And even if you don't have knowledge, you should know that there is definitely a huge difference between squad combat and solo combat. Matching communication, and even the improvement of combat effectiveness is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Fighting against a squad of skilled mercenaries is definitely more of a headache than fighting a higher-level warrior.

You must know that a genius mercenary only has two or three abilities. And a five-person mercenary team, even if each person has only one ability, is at least five! What a gap.

No wonder the reaction to be compared is so great.

Although the blood pupils are also at the apprentice level, there are quite a few of them. But it's not a real mercenary squad. There is almost no allotment. It will definitely be very tricky to encounter such a group order.

And most importantly......

"This odd-numbered member is not an ordinary mercenary."

"What do you mean? , Blood Pupil heard a thick ominous taste from Robbie's tone. I couldn't help frowning.

"They're chalky mercenaries. This odd number is a mercenary squad composed of chalk mercenaries. Robbie sighed and took out a bottle of whiskey from the suitcase next to him. Fill it for two.

After picking up a glass and taking a sip, Robbie continued.

"The Chalk Mercenary is a special organization. Although it also bears the name of a mercenary. But it's completely different from us. They are real butchers, executioners without rules. Although we also have a profession of fighting, we also have to follow the rules no matter what we say. But they're different, they're made to kill. As long as the end is achieved, there is no scruple about any means. A long time ago, there were many incidents of chalk mercenaries exterminating the planet. Its bloodthirstiness is even staring at the Star Thieves. ，

"It is said that they were modeled after the Chrysalians of Claudir during the Great Chaos. The extinction of life on the planet is done in order to sell the planet as a commodity. It's just that the means are too cruel. Therefore, it has always been rejected by the high-level world. ”

"But no matter what, the strength of the chalky mercenaries makes people shudder. Because of the relationship between the perennial bloodthirsty fight, they are more cold-blooded and aggressive than ordinary mercenaries. There is no qualms about accepting the task. ，

"And this odd number is the best of the chalk mercenaries, the butcher who has been on a mission in the Fifth World for many years. ，

"I don't know why they're here. But there's no doubt about it......" Robbie put down his glass and said seriously to the blood pupil.

"We're in trouble, and we're in trouble." (To be continued)
