Victor is a rare talent, and in the short negotiation process, he speaks less and less and uses more concise words, but it makes Sue and Medilli more excited. With a little expression from Su Biao, he can keenly grasp the interests of the other party, and even change his expression accordingly to be more in line with Su's habits. It's almost a talent, not something that can be exercised.

During the negotiation, Victor vaguely inquired about Su's ability level, and Su made it clear that he had an eighth-order ability. This information made Victor back down, but not by a large margin, mainly by increasing the quantity of supplies and discounts, while demanding that Sue's obligations remain unchanged. Su understood that this showed that Victor's assessment of his strength did not deviate much from the eighth-order ability, at least he did not regard himself as a single seventh-order ability when preparing the negotiation plan.

The final agreement was quickly reached, it was a very equal and mutually beneficial agreement, and Victor did not focus on a few practical interests like ordinary businessmen, but focused more on long-term cooperation and reciprocity between the two parties.

Of course, in this era, the binding force of an agreement depends on the balance of power between the two sides, so in many cases, the so-called agreement is just a piece of paper. After signing this basically reciprocal agreement, Su Cai had a new understanding of his strength. Perhaps because there were too many strong people in the Bloody Council, Su had been in a state of suppression, and it was not until this place, thousands of kilometers away, where the forces of the Bloody Council could not be completely controlled, that he realized that he had the qualifications to negotiate on an equal footing with the Blade of Perdition in a large city and the vast area around it.

After the agreement was signed, the atmosphere between Su and Victor was much more relaxed. Sue then asked without a trace why Midnight City valued the capable so much, and Victor certainly understood the implicit meaning of his words, so he laughed and calmly stated the reason.

Victor was indeed a talented military man, and after a decade of war, he and his original allies started as an armed mob and grew through the eventual occupation of Midnight City to form the Blades of Destruction. In this process, only five of the original sixteen people remained, which is the origin of the five-member committee.

As a military commander, Victor has always found it difficult to solve the problem of how to integrate capable people into the military to maximize effectiveness, and on the other hand, how to resist the capable people of the other side. The biggest difficulty in this is what the high-level abilities are, what kind of power they have, and what the highest level can be known.

To put it bluntly, this is the genealogy of ability. The scope and depth of the spectrum of competence is actually largely a reflection of the organizational strength of the spectrum. Luckily, Dr. Douglas, the chief scientist of Crane City, is a genius in genetic modification and ability research, and although he himself only has a sixth-order perceptual domain ability, and the highest ability he has seen with his own eyes is said to be only an eighth-order, the ability pedigree he has compiled by himself includes a double-digit ninth-order ability! These ninth-order abilities were all calculated and deduced out of thin air by the doctors. At great cost, Victor obtained this pedigree of ability, and thus gained a practical understanding of the power that the ability holder might have. It also prompted him to make up his mind to popularize the awareness of high-level abilities among the residents within the control area.

When the ability reaches the seventh order or above, only the capable can deal with the capable one, which is also the conclusion that Victor has reached.

After listening to Victor, Sue had some admiration for Dr. Douglas, whom he had never met. Because Su found that although these ninth-order abilities were all deduced out of thin air by the doctor, they were not utopian.

For example, a ninth-order ability revealed by Victor, real attack and defense, is an upgraded version of the eighth-order ability attack and defense master of the fighting domain, and it is also recorded in the information of the Dark Dragoon. The problem is that this is an uncommon ninth-order ability, and it has strict pre-ability and talent requirements. This is not a basic ability such as strength, speed, agility, etc., and it can be extrapolated by common sense alone. According to Victor's description, Dr. Douglas obtained the real offensive and defensive ability genealogy by deduction alone without any actual combat numbers, and his ability to develop computational models can only be described as genius.

Of course, the complete ability lineage is not as simple as the few words that Victor casually revealed, such as the ninth-order ability power enhancement, according to the genetic formula and individual talents, the increase in base strength and strength increase will be different, and it will be clearly marked in the real ability lineage. But these core numbers are not revealed, of course, by Victor.

When he was riding in the Dark Dragoon, as a colonel, Su already had access to some of the information on common ninth-order abilities. This part alone is more than twenty ninth-order abilities!

According to Persephone, when his authority reaches that of Major General, he will be able to unlock the restrictions of the ninth-order rare ability and the tenth-order common ability. Unlike Dr. Douglas's fantasies, most of the Dark Dragoon's Tier 10 abilities are based on examples! That is to say, at least someone has possessed these tenth-order abilities and recorded them.

So, after the meeting with Victor, Sue was very relaxed and heavy.

Victor is not only smart, but also very intelligent, he can see Sue's strength, at least partially hidden under the water, and at the same time find that Sue has the need to occupy the base. Therefore, the real core of the plan he proposed is that he will pay for the gun, Su will use force, and then the two sides will sit on the ground and share the spoils, which is a cooperation plan for each to take what it needs, and it is also a proposal that can maximize the interests of both parties. Victor wants to use Su's hand to expand his sphere of influence, and Su wants to put down roots in this resource-rich region that lacks sufficient force. Now the question is whether this is far enough away from Dragon City.

Over the next few days, Sue fully appreciated Victor's efficiency. He carved out a separate area of thousands of square meters on the edge of Midnight City as Sue's base in Midnight City. It is a walled courtyard with a three-storey basement and a five-storey building with unobstructed water and electricity. Weapons and ammunition have also been mobilized, as well as three armed off-road vehicles and a shipment of fuel. The performance of these three vehicles was of course nowhere near that of the two off-road vehicles that Su had stolen from Bebraz's only son, but those two vehicles were powered by fuel cells, which the Blade of Fuel Cell Sinking could not be produced at all, and even the Steel Gate, which specialized in the supply of weapons, did not have this technology. So, until a new fuel cell is found, those two advanced all-terrain off-road vehicles can only be thrown in the yard to dust, no different from two piles of scrap metal.

As soon as the supplies arrived, he took Medierri and the three servants in two off-road vehicles, left Midnight City, and headed for the mountains in the southwest.

At this moment, thousands of miles away in the mountains, Persephone had been running for hours on end, covering more than two hundred kilometers of mountainous terrain, and was now sitting on a rock, panting incessantly, her face flushed with a strange flush. Her chest rose and fell sharply, and her body was so weak that she could only replenish her body by breathing deeply. The combat suit on his body can no longer be seen in its original appearance, and there are large and small scars on the originally smooth skin. The pink scars were so conspicuous that Persephone had no extra energy to spend on getting rid of them.

Not far away, Elena appeared on the top of the mountain. Now half of her proud body was naked, her black suit had been completely transformed into a beggar's suit, her top hat had been lost somewhere, and her blond hair was haphazardly tied behind her head with a cloth band. She took a deep look at Persephone, who was resting, with her big eyes, slowed down and slowly walked down the hill. Elena's half-speed also has a speed equivalent to at least the fifth order. So ten minutes later, she came to a place less than a kilometer away from Persephone. But Elena did not continue to approach, but also sat down and began to rest and clean the wounds on her body.

The two women chased and fled, and they had been fighting for several days and thousands of kilometers. Sometimes it's Elena chasing and Persephone fleeing, and sometimes it's Persephone chasing and Elena fleeing. After a few days and nights of desperate fighting, the two sides turned out to be evenly matched. It's just that the vast surrounding mountains, forests and gorges are unlucky, and they are often destroyed beyond recognition in the collision of the two forces.

This area was originally close to the sphere of influence of the Holy Radiant Crusaders, but at the beginning, the Holy Radiant Crusaders sensed the changes here, and also sent several reconnaissance teams to find out what was going on. But it's okay not to send it, as soon as the reconnaissance unit approached slightly, it was immediately noticed by the two fierce women in the fight. Whether it was Elena or Persephone, the one who was being chased was temporarily at a disadvantage in the fight, and of course full of unhappiness. These two women both like to be angry, so no matter who it is, they will easily wipe out the reconnaissance team of the Holy Radiance Crusader, anyway, the difference in strength is too big, and eliminating them will not affect the speed of running, and they can also vent their unpleasant feelings. On one occasion, the Scout Squad of the Radiant Crusaders did not stop in Elena's escape route, but the woman who had just suffered a small loss at the hands of Persephone and was still angry made a special trip to make a circle and wiped out the team before refusing to stop. This gave Persephone an extra three minutes of rest.

The successive disappearances of the reconnaissance team finally caught the attention of the upper echelons of the Radiant Crusaders, and a team led by the Grand Knight set out from the forward base to find out what was going on in the depths of the mountains.

They also went and never returned, and they didn't even send a distress signal.

And under the high-power radar of the Holy Radiance Crusader, there are still large-yield energy conflicts in the mountains from time to time, and it is obvious that there is a war going on inside, and as for the strength of both sides of the war, it can be seen from the great knight who disappeared silently. The forward commander of the Radiant Crusaders decisively withdrew all the personnel in that area to the base, and even abandoned the forward cordon altogether.
