Chapter 9

The headquarters tower of the Alliance of Order towers in the center of the city of Shadows, and is also the headquarters of the Four-Nation Alliance, with the most elite military guards, the most advanced intelligence detection system, and most importantly, the most advanced combat power of the interracial wars of the past...... The heroes who are called generals.

Lily...... Have you detected any of the strange beasts lately?" Lieutenant General Zeng Karlo appeared in the observation hall at the Order Alliance headquarters, dressed in a military uniform. In front of Carlo, a woman with the rank of lieutenant general, also wearing a military uniform, was a woman with a good figure, long silky hair under her military hat, and a pair of black-framed glasses could not hide a pair of bright eyes.

"Long time no see...... Lieutenant General Carlo, if it weren't for today's meeting, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to me. The capable lady pushed her glasses with a slight dissatisfaction in her tone.

"It's not like you don't know what I'm doing. A smile flashed across Carlo's face, and he leaned forward to look at the female lieutenant general in front of him. "After the meeting, let's go to my place for a drink. You're going to be interested......" Carlo straightened up again.

"Okay...... It's really okay to take you. The lieutenant general gave Carlo a blank look, turned around and motioned for Carlo to follow him, and the two walked to a large table in the middle of the hall that flashed with a map of Shikoku.

"Since the last time a large number of alien beasts appeared in the hidden blue, we have found a problem. As the lieutenant general's finger slid up and down, the location of Hidden Blue Town appeared on the map.

“...... We can't track the beast's movements right now...... In other words, they seem to be able to appear and disappear out of thin air. The lieutenant general turned her head to look at Carlo, whose brow was already twisted.

"After a series of enhancements to the Beast's power sensing system, we were able to detect some fluctuations in space-time, which we suspect are space-time teleportation. And the people who can use space-time technology are what we've been in contact with. The lieutenant general said this, and once again looked into Carlo's eyes.

"Dr. Luan!!!

"Yes, once the chief engineer of the Order Alliance. The theory of space transfer of troops was proposed, but it was not taken seriously by the top of the alliance, and even ordered to prohibit research. The official explanation is that space technology will involve dark elemental techniques that humans have not fully mastered. The risk is too great. ”

The lieutenant general held her glasses with her hand again, did not give Carlo any more time to speak, and continued: "After the war, Luan suddenly resigned from his position as an engineer of the Union Army and returned to the Barbarian Realm to live a secluded life. It's up to you to handle this. After the lieutenant general finished speaking, she sat down on the chair next to the table, raised her head, and looked at Carlo with a serious face.

"I can guarantee that Lu An will never cooperate with foreign beasts, find it for me, even if it is any corner of the world. Find him out for me. Carlo slammed his hands into fists on the table.

"We can only look at the spatial fluctuations, which should prove that the beast will act. The lieutenant general sighed softly.

"Lieutenant General Zeng Carlo, Lieutenant General Gong Nelly, the meeting is about to begin, please take your seats!" a Union soldier appeared at the door of the hall, and after the standard military salute, stood on the side of the door.

"Don't worry. Although space technology will put our military on the passive, I will report to you as soon as I find out what is wrong, and your Godhead team, you will come in handy. The lieutenant general, whom Carlo called Lily, patted Carlo on the shoulder comfortingly and walked out together.

The content of the meeting was similar to what Carlo was worried about, the Order Alliance Army emphasized strengthening the defense of the defenders in various places, including the Zhongmi Border Qianlan City, which had suddenly appeared with an army of strange beasts, but because it was impossible to accurately detect the whereabouts of the strange beasts, the Order Alliance Legion of the Four Kingdoms, which is also the supreme leader of the Shadow Capital, and the three commanders known as the "Three Tribunals" by the outside world unanimously decided to activate the special operations force.

Naturally, that includes Zen Carlo and the Godhead Hunters squad. And judging from the temporary intelligence, the target of the alien beast army should be the six otherworldly divine stones scattered on the land of Shikoku in ancient legends.

Carlo knew that it was one of them that the Zero-Nans were guarding, the Earth Stone. As for the specific reason why the alien beast snatched the Otherworldly Stone, and the specific whereabouts of the other five Divine Stones, the Order Alliance did not record it in detail. Moreover, the Hidden Blue incident came suddenly, and Carlo clearly felt that the long-planned conspiracy of the alien race was surfacing, and it caught the Order Alliance by surprise.

The meeting didn't end until late evening, and as the sun went down, Carlo stood on the balcony of the conference hall, smoking a cigarette and looking out into the distance. Gong Nelli stood beside Carlo, silently staring at the lieutenant general beside him.

"In the past, after the victory of the war, the military rank was sealed, why did you refuse the rank of general, but only committed to the rank of lieutenant general?" Gong Nali broke the silence and said faintly. But Carlo remained silent, "Is it because of the disbandment of the Godhead Hunter team, and you don't think you can accept this honor alone?"

"It's not qualified!" Carlo said softly, taking a puff of his cigarette, "the honor of that entire squad, we are honored to have survived until the end of the war." But...... We were divided. I...... I didn't have the ability to unite them, and I couldn't even rescue my friend in time when he died. Carlo said this, covering his face with one hand, and trembling slightly with the other hand holding the cigarette.

"I know, you carry a lot of it yourself, and you also have things for you to protect, don't you?" Gong Nali didn't take her eyes off Carlo in the slightest, she reached out again, and gently stroked Carlo's shoulder like a comforting one. "Those five young people are the most precious trust of your former friends, aren't they?"

"Yes, you're right. Carlo wiped his face and showed his eyes full of life, "We don't have a problem to solve, I think they can do it." Carlo threw away his burnt cigarette butt and stood up straight. Let the sunset fall on his face again. Gong Nali on the side also showed a positive smile with relief.

The city of shadows at night, the lights are on. The Lodge is just like any other entertainment venue in the city, with a constant stream of guests, but there's nothing more to the bar than food and drink. Therefore, it is more suitable for those who want to relax and even want to relax and even relax and even want to relax and dispel their worries.

The five young men naturally found what they had to do in this bar, and Lieutenant General Carlo did not intend to let them participate in the day and night training like the other soldiers, because the senior knew that these five young men did not strictly belong to the legion, and could not be subject to the legion.

When Carlo opened the door to the Abandoned House again, as usual, Red was in the back kitchen preparing the dishes for the guests, and the wild young man was surprisingly delicate in cooking and winemaking, which Carlo only discovered after getting to know him.

On the contrary, Red's younger brother Casa is also smiling and smiling in the hall to serve every guest in need, which makes people feel more friendly.

In front of the wine rack, Yan Ke skillfully shook the wine bottle and wine glass in his hand, flowing smoothly and elegantly.

The trio's collaborative management bar is well organized. Every time Carlo returns to this bar, he feels like home. Miró rarely spends time in the store, especially at night, and is better at letting out his Black Hawk Evening than taking care of the bar, putting the entire Shadow City into his eyes. At the moment, he should be on the roof. Silently watching every corner of the city.

"Where's Zerowave?" Carlo looked around, but didn't see Zerowave.

"In the open space in the backyard, Brother Zerowave's cultivation is really hard. Casa smiled and pointed to the back door. Mr. Carlo sighed and walked straight to the backyard.

"Mr. Carlo, do you have a mission?" asked Zero Bo as he stood in the doorway after Carlo entered the backyard, facing Carlo in front of him.

"You're so sensitive. Carlo smiled at Zero's eyes. "We can barely detect the appearance of the alien beasts, so the next time they appear, we will be the target. Carlo explained briefly. The corners of Zero's mouth gradually pulled into a smile, and he suddenly turned around, pulled out the long sword behind his back, and waved it a few times in the air.

"Are you eager to fight?" Carlo stepped forward and patted Zero Wave on the shoulder.

"No, but I can feel it, I have to fight. Zero Bo looked at the night sky and replied simply.

"Well, that's good, we may want to protect different things, but in the same way, no matter what, we must face it easily, and we must not be dominated by fear, grief, and confusion. Carlo said word for word.

"Yes, I see, thank you Mr. Carlo for teaching. Zero Bo straightened up, his face full of energy.
