Chapter 242: New Crises and Negotiations
"What Mithelel said today is hard to believe, but I've known him for many years, and he's always been a reliable, friendly, upright, even somewhat pedantic guy...... Even if he couldn't produce any evidence, my first instinct was to believe him. ”
Some attendees shrugged, visibly disimpressed, but no one interjected to interrupt Nelson.
"Of course, it is my personal choice to believe him unconditionally, and I cannot notify the core members of the association to come to the meeting because of this. But coincidentally, the 'test subjects' mentioned by Mithelel have been seen at this World Mage Exchange Conference, and it is not one, it is a couple, a man and a woman...... But something big has happened in Narig. A mysterious smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "The boy that Mithelel is talking about, his name is Rod Foster, and he has an older sister, Roy Foster, who is indeed very much in line with human aesthetics. If the boy is the product of some human evolutionary project, then his identity as a 'sister' is naturally questionable. At first, I was amazed at the excellence and cleverness of that girl, who would have thought that she could be the product of a human evolutionary project?"
"That's a bit of self-talking. An old mage with white hair and white beard, who hadn't made too many changes in his appearance, shook his head: "Yolanda didn't come today, if he was there, he would tell you that his 'human cultivation plan' to select outstanding teenagers and girls with certain characteristics to breed offspring has been carried out to the fifth generation, and the results of hundreds of experiments have clearly proved one point - the physical fitness of parents has a great impact on children, if parents are strong and excellent, isn't it natural to give birth to ordinary high-quality offspring."
Nelson's smile faded and his expression became serious: "You have a point, but I did some research after meeting Mithelel and learning about the existence of the 'perfect human' from him. In the end, it was discovered that whether it was the original Midland Kingdom or the vast area occupied by the former and now part of the Midland Empire, there has been no 'Foster' family from ancient times to the present. The family, and the Duke and Duchess of Forster at its core, came out of nowhere eighteen years ago, the year Kyle Ross regained the Midland throne. ”
"We have reason to believe that behind the 'Perfect Humans' there is a highly classified and powerful secret organization, and they are mainly active in the Midland Empire...... However, this empire was established after the 'banning' of our Evolution Society, which has resulted in a very small number of members in this Western Continent country, and our influence and control are quite weak. ”
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles. "If you don't know anything about this organization, my advice is not to act rashly. ”
"Yes, so, I'm going to plan two actions next. On the one hand, I'll need some hands to dig up this invisible tissue, and I'll be personally leading people to observe the two 'perfect human' test subjects who have been exposed to us, and determine if they are as good as Mithelel says. Nelson finally made a decision: "The Foster siblings are at this time on the orders of the Midland Emperor to deal with the Resistance in Antelli, and the itinerary is very easy to find. If it turns out that what Mithreel said is true, and the first group is unable to find out who is in charge of the organization and communicate effectively, the two subjects are captured and we conduct our own research. ”
"Alas......" Mithreel frowned and sighed, "I'm afraid it can only be like this, but the person in charge of the investigation must be careful not to meet with any of the Duke and Duchess Foster until they are fully prepared." ”
"Agreed. Nelson nodded: "The above is the purpose of my convening of this meeting, the old rule, there is no subordinate relationship between the members of the association, you decide whether to participate or not." Correspondingly, if the operation achieves certain results, the participants will have priority access to information and results...... Now, it's up to you to decide. ”

At Lowy's suggestion, the "reinforcements" pieced together by the advance army rushed from Sardenburg to the battlefield and soon joined the battle. Despite the lack of run-in with each other, the level of training as an elite still allowed this reinforcement to exert its strong combat effectiveness, and the two young rookie generals transferred back from the southern counterinsurgency battlefield by His Majesty the Emperor did not disappoint everyone's hopes. This living force quickly fought a series of victories at the front line of the stalemate, and retreated slightly - although they were all small-scale victories of the kind of enemy annihilation of dozens or hundreds, they did steadily suppress the opposite side in terms of momentum, and quite effectively contained the counterattack of the only two major lords left in Antaili. As for whether the other party's top management can have the same idea as Roy expected, it is unknown.
Rhodes wanted to go to the front line to observe the appearance of the grassroots officers commanding the battle, but with Roy, the "overseer", staring at him, it was obvious that the risky behavior could not be carried out. So while he waited for news in the command post, he observed and reviewed the daily training of the remaining arch guards at the command post, and as his old sister instructed, he occasionally went out to meet with the soldiers.
The display of martial arts is lackluster, and there are few humans in this world who can compete with Rhodes without using physical combat or magic. According to his own reality, he fused the sword technique of the Witcher of Hiri with the combat mode he was already familiar with, and his strong physical fitness allowed him to combine the agility and elegance of the former with the strength and strength of the latter...... The soldiers who were selected to train with him were at first afraid of hurting the delicate-looking boy, but in the end they found that even if they tried their best, even a few people were not his opponents, and the original vague contempt soon disappeared without a trace. No matter what Rhodes relied on to gain the status of being parachuted in and becoming the supreme commander of the special commission, at least his skills are worthy of admiration.
Rod can no longer be proud of this, he naturally understands that he is better than the ordinary people around him after learning the truth of his life from his mother, and it is natural that he is better than the ordinary people around him, and his efforts or wisdom may play less than one-tenth of the role, which can be described as negligible - in the face of the admiring eyes of countless soldiers, he even feels a little ashamed.
After a few days like this, the news that cheered the boy finally came: a message came from the direction of the Cavehall Forest that Queen Elaine had agreed to negotiate and sent a delegation, which was coming to Sardenburg under the escort of the Imperial army!
