Li Xuan, who was originally full of confidence and waiting for good news, received such bad news an hour after the operation began:

Gong Changhong, vice president of the Demon Hunter Association, was in a deep coma; twelve demon hunters were injured to varying degrees; forty-nine members of the Demon Bureau were killed and one was unconscious; and twenty soldiers were unconscious, but they were all right.

What kind of magic would make so many elites not only return in vain, but also suffer such a heavy blow?

Such a demon clan has such terrifying strength, how could it not be recorded in the archives of the Demon Hunting Association and the Monster Bureau in history?

Is this the horror of the Origins?

Li Xuan pondered alone for a long time, and Viscount Hezhen was also shocked by the report and couldn't speak, but looked at Li Xuan tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

Even so, even if the power of this demon clan is beyond everyone's imagination, it does not mean that we will back down.

Li Xuan thought like this: On the contrary, it is precisely because of such amazing strength that he should fight against him, eradicate him, and protect the safety of mankind and even the world.

However, the current situation is no longer within the control of the Monster Bureau - at least it is impossible for a county-level Monster Bureau to arrest it.

The forces to be assembled this time are far from being comparable to tonight's actions.

As the director of the Monster Bureau of Roqueshire, Li Xuan decided to leave for Iaur and the imperial capital of the powerful empire to ask the forces of the Monster Province and even the whole country to join;

At that time, the general association of the Demon Hunting Association, which was frustrated by the vice president, would not let this demon clan go.

The human world gathers with the strongest behind it to launch the ultimate hunt.

After making up his mind, Li Xuan spoke: "Viscount Hezhente, tonight's matter, please hide the purpose of your action, and don't cause a large area of panic. ”

"It's nature. The viscount replied immediately.

If the people knew that there was a terrifying demon clan in the vicinity, it would definitely cause a series of negative effects. This is not only detrimental to the administration of public security, but will also affect the secrecy of future arrests.

"Besides, is there enough defense in the city?" Li Xuan asked.

"On the side of the soldiers defending the city, today's operation did not have a big impact. ”

The viscount replied truthfully, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that when fighting monsters, it may be a little difficult. ”

The implication is that the casualties on the part of the Monster Bureau have affected the normal work of the guards.

"This is a clear idea. Li Xuan said: "After the bureau meets Rokeshire, some people will be dispatched to take over the vacated positions here." ”

The biggest casualty tonight is undoubtedly the monster bureau in charge of expulsion, not only taking the risk of dealing with the unknown demon head-on, but also being in a dangerous position when it is necessary to retreat.

It's just that the fifty members sent out are not as powerful as the elite of the county town, but they are also carefully selected veterans who have fought with monsters countless times.

Almost all of them were killed in battle, which surprised Li Xuan, and the director of the sub-bureau went crazy to the scene after hearing the news.

Is it the hunter who has the problem, or is the prey the problem? No, the relationship between the hunter and the prey is no longer clear.

Looking at such casualties, it is more like a hunter disguised as a prey waiting for a prey that is clever to take the bait.

But what matters now is the ability to detect the target from the survivor's mouth, and the direction in which the target is likely to flee.

Li Xuan was also curious about how the only team member who was just unconscious escaped.

"The bureau also has to go to the scene to investigate the situation first. Take care of the Viscount. Li Xuan got up and left.

Originally, I thought that the casualties were all caused by demons, but it turned out to be the opposite, and no, this is not entirely accurate. Because how could a battle-hardened Monster Bureau warrior commit suicide?

The situation at the scene made Li Xuan's heart sink to the bottom of the sea.

Although it cannot be explained, it is an indisputable fact.

All the Monster Bureau soldiers who died in battle committed suicide without exception.

Whether it's from the angle, from the force, even their own hands are still at the hilt. Even a person who could not read a large number of words could tell the cause of their death.

It's just that the expression is full of despair. More desperate than seeing a monster in action that can kill hundreds of people in one blow.

Seeing this, while Li Xuan felt sad for the dead, he also roughly knew the type of magic of the target: the effect system, and it was most likely a variant of puppet magic.

The knowledge about magic is summarized from the magic books left by the great magicians of the past and the experience of the Emperor of Eternal Life. But after all, it is the result of two people, and it cannot represent all magic.

Many of the races and demons recorded in the files released by the Demon Hunting Association to the Monster Bureau are more or less different from the magic of the Great Mage, or even completely different.

At this time, the body had been completely cleaned up, and the director of the sub-bureau had resigned in advance, so Li Xuan had no choice but to take a few soldiers to the second battle site, that is, the alley where the Demon Hunting Association's operation failed.

The alley did not fall within the scope of the previously established encirclement, but the heavy casualties of the Monster Bureau could also indicate the failure of the expulsion.

The people of the Demon Hunting Association had no choice but to abandon the traps set up by the encirclement and come to the alley where they should have only been familiar with in advance. This may also be one of the reasons for the failure.

But when a ruin came into Li Xuan's eyes, his heart was once again greatly shocked.

Almost every alley has been left in ruins, and even worse, completely buried in the ground – no, it might be better to describe it by falling in.

The soldiers explained that the twelve wounded demon hunters had been dug up in the ruins of a house that had fallen into a pit.

Walking further, I saw a large pile of stone slabs on the ground, and the road in front of me for more than ten meters had turned back to the hard dirt road before the stone slabs were paved.

Gong Changhong, the vice president of the Demon Hunting Association, fell on this large pile of stone slabs.

And at the end was the place where a squad of twenty soldiers had passed out.

In short, the scene was a mess. Li Xuan couldn't believe that it was the same person.

"What about the target, has the target been found?" Li Xuan hurriedly asked, noticing that the end of the alley was far away from the city gate.

The soldier also shook his head helplessly: "The soldiers at the city gate did not see anyone trying to climb over the city wall or leave through the city gate. Because the martyrs had a special night curfew, it was impossible for the people at the city gate to open the door to those who did not have the arrows of the city lord's order. ”

"Unless there is an internal response. Li Xuan remembered Yu Dongshui's friends at the gate of the city.

"No, it's impossible!" the soldier heard Li Xuan's words and hurriedly replied, "The soldiers at the city gate were already taken over by the Viscount's personal guard yesterday!"

Li Xuan nodded, no longer asked, but looked at the alley behind him, and thought to himself:

No, it was wrong from the beginning. How could the puppet magic cause widespread destruction of a building? Something must have gone wrong.

But Ren Lixuan wanted to break his head, but he couldn't recall any earth-shattering magic that could reach such a point.

If the other party is a great magician, it is better to say that at least you can use a variety of magic, but the Demon Hunting Association has not received a specific magic reaction signal from the great magician, and the other party is most likely a demon.

Could it be that the demons also have individuals who can count multiple magics?

Forget it, leave it to the Demon Hunter Association to decide.

Li Xuan remembered that he had to write a report to the Demon Hunting Association, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

With such a tragic ending, not only is it difficult for Li Xuan to write to narrate, but others don't even want to see it.

What kind of judgment will the Demon Hunting Association make when it receives such a report?

This is the place where the presbyterian meeting is held every month between the watchmen.

For countless years, the room's signature communication crystals, as well as its calming décor, have not changed.

But this time, there was one less attendee.

"Demon Hunting Society, 3608th Meeting, 'Elders Summit', Begin"

Holding two meetings a month is rare, but it is still a lot.

Because whether it is commanding and helping the Punisher fight against a powerful enemy, or hunting down the reincarnation of the Great Mage, there are a few other reasons that will be reconvened as an exception.

The most was held more than 10 times a month.

This is not a good thing, and the more it is held, the more critical the situation becomes. No one would want such meetings to happen too often.

But according to the information last night, I am afraid that such an exceptional meeting will only be held many times before it is possible to solve the problem.

The Grand Wizard returned yesterday.

I was misled by countless false information before, thinking that the other party was just a demon. But judging from yesterday's magic reaction, it seems that the other party has achieved some purpose.

The anomalous magical reaction that marked the reincarnation of the Great Mage lasted less than a stick of incense before it disappeared.

Even if the Demon Hunting Association did not hesitate to consume several magic crystals to strengthen the detection ability of the communication crystal, trying to find the magic source of the reincarnation of some great magicians around the city of Hemartyrt;

But after a night of searching, there was nothing else except for some magic sources that couldn't tell whether they were natural magic sources or monsters.

The golden reaction was as if the world had evaporated.

President Zhuo Mingde's hopeful conjecture was that Gong Changhong, the excellent former punisher, killed him in one fell swoop. But that's not the case.

At noon today, the Rock County Branch received a report from Li Xuan, the director of the Monster Bureau, that all twelve demon hunters were injured, and Vice President Gong Changhong had not even woken up yet.

The whereabouts of the target are unknown.

This means that their enemies are still alive and well, still waiting for their time outside.

What's even more terrifying is that he seems to have mastered the anti-detection magic that even the first great mage did not mention, so that the Demon Hunting Association has become blind even if he has a communication crystal.

If it weren't for Gong Changhong's meticulous actions that forced him out of his original form, maybe everyone would still be in the dark by now.

But the problem is that the reincarnation of the Great Magician will not know that he is the Great Magician until he awakens.

It is almost impossible to prepare for counter-detection in advance for the first time to show ability, which means that there is no reason why the Demon Hunter Society cannot track down this obvious magical reaction.

What went wrong?

The president of the Demon Hunting Association was also puzzled, so he convened this elders' meeting and discussed the plan to hunt down the reincarnation of the archmage in the future.

"Could it be that the Great Mage did something during this reincarnation, so that his reincarnation was known before he was awakened—not necessarily at birth, but probably some time before the awakening?" one of the elders hypothetical.

"If that's the case, the Grand Mage wouldn't have been stupid enough to think of this method for hundreds of years, right?" the other retorted.

Indeed, although the Great Magician was discredited in the later period, his wisdom superior to that of humans was worthy of even the Emperor of Immortality and all wise men throughout the ages.

If this method existed, it would not have been possible for the other party to use it until now.

At the very least, it's a good start.

However, so far, the purpose of the Great Magician has been agreed upon after preliminary discussions: to kill a wave of elites of the Demon Hunting Association without revealing their identities as much as possible.

But the prerequisite for this counter-killing, hiding his identity as a great magician, is really unpredictable.

Next, someone asked if the reincarnation of the previous generation of great magicians was not dead at all, and after faking his death to avoid the Demon Hunting Association, he has been hiding until now.

But it was also vetoed. If the elder who asked this question was a member of the president's generation, he should have known how the reincarnated body of the Great Magician ended up in this way.

The next few almost fanciful conjectures were rejected one by one.

Seeing that the discussion had reached a dead end, Zhuo Mingde said: "Okay, put this topic aside for the time being, no matter how he hides it, it doesn't matter anymore." What we're going to talk about is the course of action and the awareness to prepare for a great battle. ”

"Punisher. "A man speaks to himself in a voice that all can hear.
