The Senate Elders, except for Elder Zhao, who was able to maintain his composure, all the others had surprised expressions on their faces.

First of all, I can't figure out why it should be kept secret, since it was decided a month ago, and even the Senate elders were not told, why?

What is the concept of ten days, for the Protoss who can reach thousands of years old, but with the flick of a finger, seeing that the beast is about to complete the assembly, it will notify the people at the level of Senate elders, so what about the people, who will notify them?

Second, why did the beast tide that appears once every 100 years suddenly come 19 years earlier, what caused it, and whether the future beast tide will be once in a hundred years or once in eighty-one years?

Elder Zhao didn't speak immediately, but gave everyone time to digest the matter.

Lei Shaoyuan glanced at Zheng Anyan beside him and whispered, "What's the matter, your face suddenly became ugly." ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing!" Zheng Anyan pretended to be calm, but in fact, his heart was already in chaos, but he didn't want to show it in public.

After a minute, Elder Zhao spoke again: "The old man knows what you are thinking, as for whether the future beast tide will be once in a hundred years, or once in eighty-one years, or the interval will be shorter, so far there is no conclusion. But what is certain is that the intensity of this beast tide will not be smaller than in previous years because of the shortening of time, and it is necessary for everyone to pay attention to it. ”

The sound of gasping cold air sounded, and a Senate elder stood up and said in a respectful tone, "Elder Zhao, since this matter has been determined, should we immediately start defensive preparations?"

He is the chief elder of the Council of Elders of the City Defense, responsible for the security affairs of the city wall, and he does not have any tasks in peacetime, and there are also a few soldiers standing guard on the city wall, and only when it comes to the beast tide, his importance and particularity can be reflected.

"No, for the people, we still have to keep it a secret. Elder Zhao said in a calm tone.

"Still secret?" the city guard elder said that he couldn't understand, the beasts were about to be killed at the doorstep, and it was normal to defend in advance, why didn't he tell everyone?

Elder Zhao's explanation was: "This is the decision of the Alliance of Elders, which is used to test the reaction speed of the Protoss in the face of emergencies, as well as the ability to adapt, which is very important, if the beast tide in the future will not appear from time to time, this time it will be considered a drill." ”

This explanation is barely in the past, but there are also great drawbacks, this beast tide is different from the past, even if the elders do not notify in advance, everyone will start preparing months in advance, so every time they can survive safely.

Everyone thought that the beast tide was still once in a hundred years, and the previous behavior of the security team to arrest the rumor-mongers was convinced that in this case, the beasts attacked the city, and everyone was unprepared, which would inevitably cause serious casualties.

"A few casualties are not a problem, as long as we can arouse the people's defensive hearts, our goal will be achieved. Elder Zhao said.

Zheng Anyan took a deep breath, stood up and asked, "Elder Zhao, what about the group of people arrested before, it turns out that they didn't lie, and the punishment they received was unfair. ”

Elder Zhao's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said, "After the start of the great war, they can restore their freedom, but they must climb the city wall to go to the front line of the battle. ”

Zheng Anyan frowned, in his opinion, it was still unfair to do so, since they had been admitted innocent, they should be given absolute freedom, not disguised freedom, it was better to stay in prison than to go to the front line of the war, at least not to worry about security.

"Does Elder Zheng still have questions?" Elder Zhao asked with displeasure.

"I didn't ...... Without. Zheng Anyan hurriedly reacted, and added one more sentence: "I support any decision made by the Alliance of Elders under my post, and there is no objection to resolutely implement it." ”

Elder Zhao showed a look of satisfaction on his face, but he quickly disappeared cleanly, and continued: "The four elders have decided to send a capable reconnaissance team to the area where the beasts gather to investigate the situation, because the task is extremely important, so the candidates for the captain and team members are selected from the elders of various industries, and the twelve elders are in charge of this matter, and the list will be sent over in a while." ”

Others didn't think there was anything wrong with these words, but Zheng Anyan's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

A few minutes later, the attendant took the folder and placed it in front of Elder Zhao.

Elder Zhao smiled: "Sure enough, it is a capable team, and it will definitely succeed immediately!" Elder Ben announced that the position of captain of the reconnaissance team is held by Zheng Anyan, the chief elder of the Council of Elders of Justice, and the vice captain is Liu Kun, the deputy head of the Council of Judicial Elders, and the team members are Qi Feichen of the Council of Elders of Security, Luo Jiaxun of the Council of Elders of Weapons, and Kong Huaqing of the Council of Elders of Education......

He recited more than a dozen names in a row, and the level of these four people was above the Mythical Realm, and it was indeed a strong team.

When he had finished reading, he stood up and said, "The members of the scout team will prepare at once, and they will leave on time in two hours. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Anyan and got up to leave.

"Congratulations to the Great Elder. Everyone stood up and shouted, but Zheng Anyan was the only one who did not stand.

Lei Shaoyuan tugged at his sleeve: "What's the matter, absent-minded, Elder Zhao didn't get up to see you off, it's too rude." ”

Elder Cui smiled and said, "He must be too excited, the first captain of the reconnaissance team is not someone who can be if he wants to, we have to congratulate Elder Zheng!"

"That's right, congratulations. Lei Shaoyuan said: "It seems that our plan to get drunk and rest will be postponed, and when Lao Zheng comes back from completing the task, we will all be busy with the beast tide at that time, and there will be no time for parties, let alone the mood to drink." ”

Zheng Anyan sighed and said, "I'm afraid I will never be able to drink this wine." ”

Lei Shaoyuan's face changed and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zheng Anyan took the two to a secluded place and said, "If nothing else, there is no possibility that I will come back alive." ”

Elder Cui glared: "Don't talk nonsense, there are more than a dozen Protoss masters, many of them are masters of the Infinite Realm like you, completing the task is a piece of cake, how can they die!"

Lei Shaoyuan couldn't figure it out, and asked: "What do you mean that there is no accident, and if there is an accident, you can come back alive?"

Zheng Anyan smiled bitterly: "Don't you notice that the members of the reconnaissance team formed this time are all active members of the Council of Elders, and they often put forward various opinions and cause trouble for the elders at the upper levels. ”

The two of them changed color at the same time, and Lei Shaoyuan immediately said: "No, you Zheng Anyan have never been an activist, and you have been adhering to the good style of obeying orders for many years, which is fundamentally different from others. ”

"I'm behind the blame, no better than the activists. He lowered his voice and said, "I have arrested so many people who tell the truth, and all of them have convicted their families of serious crimes, can you be willing? The elders must give an explanation for this, but I am only carrying out the order, and the crime is at the top, but have you ever seen the great elder publicly admit his mistakes? Besides, can he be forgiven by everyone for admitting his mistakes? It is impossible, this matter is too big, it is full of deception, it is not enough to rely on explanation, it must be sincere." ”

The so-called sincerity refers to Zheng Anyan, and the elders will put all the blame on him, saying that he is bent on going his own way, turning telling the truth into rumors, and because of this kind of behavior, the elders of the alliance have been blinded, causing the truth to be deeply hidden.

Only when he dies can the black cauldron be buckled on his head, and the people will feel relieved of their hatred, and it will have no effect on the elders at the upper level, and they can continue to call the shots and continue to rule the divine realm.

In addition to him, he can also piggyback on a group of activists who are not well managed, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and making sure that he will not lose money.

Therefore, this group of people will surely die.

"How can this be!" Lei Shaoyuan was angry and said: "No, I'm going to go to Elder Zhao to theorize, how can things be done like this, if you do something wrong, let others carry the black pot, it's too much." ”

"It's useless. Zheng Anyan stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "If I guess correctly, they have made such a decision from the beginning, so they will order me to arrest people again and again, in order to complete the task, I personally led people to act, and things have developed to this point, how can I explain to everyone if I don't die? Brother Lei, if you go to the Great Elder to intercede, not only will you not be able to save me, but you will also leave a very bad impression in front of them, especially when you show that you have guessed the inside story, you will be the next person to die." ”

Elder Cui nodded: "That's right, this is their usual method. ”

Lei Shaoyuan's eyes were red: "Then I can't watch you die!"

Zheng Anyan smiled: "It's the same if you die early and die late, the beast tide is coming, you and I old guys have to climb the city wall and go to the place where the battle is most intense, so high mortality, how many do you think you can survive? To put it mildly, I just walked one step ahead of you, maybe we will meet in hell soon, and it will not be too late to drink and talk at that time." Two, Zheng took the first step. ”

After speaking, he turned to leave, although he tried to be as calm as possible, but no matter how he looked at it, his back was so lonely and desolate.

Lei Shaoyuan and Elder Cui glanced at each other and said, "I really didn't expect that Lao Zheng would end like this. ”

Elder Cui smiled bitterly: "This is your life and mine, what can I do?" Brother Lei, just now Elder Zhao said that the matter of the beast tide must continue to be kept secret, and you and I must be tighter, so as not to let the trouble come out of our mouths and live up to Elder Zheng's good intentions. ”

Lei Shaoyuan nodded, and said in his heart that this senator elder is really a wreck, he looks high, but in fact he is no different from ordinary people, what people say, he has to do what he does, and he can't resist at all, otherwise maybe when, there will be a dark arrow shooting over, so you can't guard against it.

He suddenly thought of a person, thinking of the incident that happened before he came here, how did Ye Yunyang do it?

To tell the truth, the royal party's method of blame is extremely clever, if it were someone else, he would have been fooled a long time ago, and the result must have been tragic. But Ye Yunyang not only did not fall for it, but instead fought a beautiful turnaround battle, wiped out Wang Dang and the deacon, and also used the situation of the Alliance Academy to warn Wang Wenyao, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

The most important point is that Ye Yunyang completed the transition between offense and defense in a moment, compared to Elder Zhao's plan to kill two birds with one stone, which began to be planned a month ago, and has only been effective now.

You must know that there are a total of sixteen elders in the upper-level elders' council, and it took their collective efforts to come up with such a plan, and Ye Yunyang was one person from beginning to end, defeating those old guys who had already become elites.
