- Seven.

This is the number of sword-wielding people in the Alliance of the Awakened Stigmata, although in terms of combat power, they who have just awakened the stigmata have not yet been strengthened accordingly, and the abilities they have obtained are still very unstable, but in time, they will become a terrifying force.

It's just that...... The premise of time does not exist.

Never put your hopes in the mercy and stupidity of your enemies—

The demon king Mammon, this demon, this demon, the decisiveness of his attack, the strangeness of his methods, far beyond the imagination of the young man.

With this logic, which is even a little more rigorous than ordinary people, it is impossible to see the chaotic nature of the demon, and it is more like a seasoned merchant or hunter than the demon who is especially known for its chaos, with a vicious gaze, simple and clear movements, and a clean attack - straight to the point, a fatal blow.

Completely choked the reservist sword-wielders.

It was precisely because the situation was so bad that the Prophet Alliance would easily accept him and accept his conditions one by one.

It's not hard to see why.

A terminally ill person will seize all the hope he can hold onto, change to organization, and the same will be true.

Of course, in exchange, he must also have to pay accordingly.

Like what...... Tonight.

Although it is only a passing scene, the absence at this time will undoubtedly leave a bad impression on the others - if he is a lone wanderer who does his own thing, he naturally does not need to care about other people's opinions, but since he intends to coordinate the forces of the entire camp, he will inevitably have some scruples in acting and cannot be so arbitrary.

Fortunately, the rules are not too strict, although you can't move around at will, but talking and chatting is not prohibited.

As a topic of conversation nowadays, the Glory Bearer is quite popular.

At least the secret of victory has been explored-

But that was not something that the boy intended to hide, he generously put everything, including his personal strength, in the open, and convinced everyone who had dealt with him with a frank attitude.

Of course, this has nothing to do with whether or not the communicative skills are superb or not.

Amy Ulysses was able to mingle so easily with a group of people they had only known for a short time because they had their own needs - he longed to bring the Awakened Stigmata one step away from being the sword-wielding, and they obviously wanted to forge a good relationship with him, the one who could be crowned "the strongest" in the camp.

So, in the mutual understanding, there was harmony in the tent.

"Do you have any plans?" After getting acquainted with each other, he threw out the question that he had prepared before he came, "It is impossible to get together every night like today? ”

This is a very urgent, very realistic, and very close issue to all of you here.

The Glorious One has reason to believe that even if these people in front of them can't come up with a perfect plan, they can at least have a feasible draft in their hearts.

"Only rotational rest can be done. Sure enough, after looking at each other, a tall brown-haired man followed Amy's deliberate lead and proposed his plan, "There are eight of us now, and we can just divide them into two groups, and at least one group will be on duty every night, and they will rotate every two days—although we will not release the exhaustion we have accumulated in doing so, but I think it is quite a bargain compared to only one life." ”

His name is John.

Among the seven Awakened Stigmata Ones in the Alliance, he has a relatively high status, and is the leader of the same team as Regana, so he has a certain say in this loose alliance.

"But there is another problem," he proposed, but not always the same as others, and this is obviously an exception, "as you say, our fatigue will accumulate over time, and the consequent reduction in combat efficiency and the increased risk of combat will undoubtedly exacerbate the current situation – and at the same time, further reduce our credibility." ”

Everyone looks at things from different angles, so the collision of different ideas will always create dazzling sparks.

The reason for the rebuttal is appropriate.

But—

"In that case, please tell me, what plans or plans do you have that can be executed?" John met the eyes of the opponent without giving an inch, "Hawke, I can understand what you mean, but now is not the time to find a thorn, we must draw up a plan to deal with the demon king Mammon as soon as possible, and let the disappearance phenomenon spread, even if we don't think about the long term, just think about the present, in two or three days, how many of us will be left?"

That's why there is a need for discussion and adjustment. ”

Hawke, who is also the leader of a squad, after the mysterious disappearance of the leaders of the other four squads, his fight with John has split the entire alliance into two opposing camps, as for Regana, although her influence is not bad, it is difficult to stand on her own in comparison, and can only survive in the gap between their rivalries.

"Well," John said knew his old rival well, and threw the problem back into the other's hands, "In that case, do you agree with the general direction?"

"The details are up for debate. ”

The conflict of interests is a conflict, and after all, there is no contradiction between the two people's survival, and this issue, which is closely related to the survival of everyone in the future, is only symbolically troubled, and it officially enters the process of discussion.

There was a lengthy debate about who was on duty on the first day, who was on duty the second day, and who was on duty with whom, and if it weren't for some very valuable information that could have been heard, Amy Ulysses would have fallen asleep in this boring meeting.

At present, he still retains a relatively full mental attitude, which is closely related to a piece of news.

That is the order of those who have disappeared.

Hawke makes a rather interesting analogy: if the camp is a water filter, ordinary people can be seen as pure water without any threat, while Stigmata Awakeners like them are river water mixed with impurities, and as the awakening deepens, their abilities tend to stabilize, and the sand content will further increase - so of course, they will get stuck on the filter of the water filter and be treated differently.

The higher the progress of the awakening, the more stable the awakened ability is, and the greater the concept of being dissolved.

And now...... The person with the most stable ability and the most useful is John.

His ability is a steel body, and at the same time as activating his ability, his body, both on the surface and in the depths, is stronger than steel, even if he is beaten in a hurry, he is unharmed, and it is great that he scratches a little skin, and looks a little embarrassed, that's all.

It's a pity that he, and everyone here, can't flexibly control their own abilities - compared to the real sword wielders who seem to have been tempered thousands of times, they are now just a bunch of rough embryos, or half-finished products, that have not even been overdone.

Not to mention that physical fitness has not been strengthened.

The stigmata ability that was finally awakened often disappeared from time to time.

It's heart-stopping to think about.

But what makes people feel even more congested is still to come, John, who was still talking about it just now, disappeared without any warning, until a set of reserve sword-wielding uniforms fell in mid-air. It is only then that everyone here finally realizes that danger is not far away from them.

- He disappeared.

Like the three people in front of them, they didn't leave any traces.

"Did you see anything just now?" Hawke asked, his expression still more than composed, "John, as expected, became the next person to disappear—that is, the algorithm I determined was fine, and the next one to disappear...... It would be me. ”

He pointed to himself.

Then, the body was twisted and deformed as if it were in a mirror.

Then, in full view of everyone, the empty clothes fell.

- He disappeared.

After a short, but long silence, the sound came from the tent like a fryer.

With the exception of John, Hawke, and Regana, none of the other Stigmata Awakened had ever served as captains, so when the two opinion leaders disappeared one after the other, chaos ensued.

Theoretically, the prestige of a girl should be enough to subdue the audience, but the prejudice against women has not been controlled in the first place, and it may not be helpful to stop it now and not use the necessary means of violence.

And this is a job that Amy Ulysses doesn't mind doing.

On the one hand, this is an indispensable means of maintaining stability, and on the other hand, it is because of ...... Effectively showing off your muscles is also a shortcut to prestige.

The only thing to worry about is ...... Is this really necessary?

Two of the Alliance's most important interlocutors disappeared on the same night, and the rest of the people, including Rigana, had no one to take the lead, and his foundation was a little too shallow, and it was not enough to subdue these guys who had awakened their abilities.

But you can give it a try.

Anyway, it couldn't have been worse.

The young Gloryman narrowed, then drew the broad-bladed, thick-ridged heavy sword that he carried behind him.

"Jean-"

He said, the clear blade of the sword reflected the shocked faces through the firelight.

Then he stopped and turned to face Regana and the four people who were left on the other side.

What should I say?

Amy Ulysses looked around, then bowed her head after a light touch with everyone's eyes:

"I'm here. ”

He said, in an unusually calm tone, as if he were saying something trivial and insignificant.

And so—

Once again, order has been established.

It's just that the seeds of division have been planted, and no amount of bright fire can dispel the gloom in the eyes.

- The Alliance of the Seers is over.

It's completely over, and it will only be a matter of time before it dies.

The boy was so sure.
