Illinois.

Palace.

Empress Yuffie at the desk, after sorting out a few pieces of information, turned her head sideways at her empty back and asked.

The shadow hidden there shook suddenly, and every human high-level in Illinois was equipped with a shadow demon inspection, and this empress was of course no exception.

However, after all, Yuffie is a human being cultivated by the "king", so the shadow demon is more in fact, and it still plays a role in facilitating the transmission of information for Yuffie and the demons.

I saw that after five or six seconds, a teleportation array of light flashed from the study, and the first to walk out was the succubus Elena.

As a secretary, the succubus used the portable prop scroll that had been prepared a long time ago to summon a demon throne in the queen's study, and then respectfully invited Liao Yu, who came out of the teleportation, to take a seat.

During Liao Yu's construction of the Magic Tower and the support of the elves, in the real world, the new Illinois empress who was supported by the demons also gave him additional tasks.

Yuffie handed over a stack of materials to Elena, and then transferred them by the succubus to Liao Yu on the throne, which was the recent information about the "Syndicate" that Yuffie had collected by relying on Illinois' national resources.

The syndicate is full of criminals and displaced people, and because it is located in a desert basin, from time to time there will be sandstorms covering the entire area, completely isolating the syndicate from the outside world, which can be as short as a few days or as long as weeks.

Therefore, it is very difficult to find out the information there.

Liao Yu now has these in his hands, or Yu Fei just happened to have the channel, found a group of businessmen who had only returned from the syndicate business not long ago, and got them from them.

But

Liao Yu lowered his head and read carefully.

Judging from the report, this group of businessmen does not seem to be optimistic about the syndicate.

The vast expanse of the syndicate of sand is still able to develop thanks to the oases in the desert that provide shelter for the people there.

Therefore, the characteristic forces of the syndicate, the "tribes" and "gangs" are also formed around the oasis, and the competition and war between each other are all in order to gain more oasis territory.

However, in recent years, the disputes within the syndicate have intensified, and the degree of chaos has become worse year by year.

The oases in the desert are disappearing.

The oasis is not an ordinary resource, it is the root of the survival of the syndicates, and the shrinking of the oasis is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the entire syndicate.

It is no wonder that the businessmen in the report are pessimistic about the future of the syndicate and have no intention of following this business line again.

Even the natives of the Syndicate seem to have a tendency to flee, and long before Illinois, there were similar rumors of small neighboring countries being attacked by thugs and bandits from the Syndicate.

The reduction of survival resources has led to more fierce and cruel competition, and some small gangs and tribes that were originally living in remote corners are now forced to join the ranks of big fish eating small fish.

Among them, the point that Liao Yu paid the most attention to is.

"Professor, in the Syndicate, there is indeed a tribe name, and it is called Ghost."

In human society, Liao Yu still needs to let others maintain the original "professor" to call himself.

Regarding Yu Fei's current information, Liao Yu suddenly raised his spirit.

The fundamental purpose of going to the syndicate is for the ghosts, those partners or descendants who were in the world a week ago, and they are also the clues for him to find the truth of the world, Liao Yu didn't expect that it was really so simple to find out?

Yuffie continued, "The Ghosts are a medium-sized tribe, and it is said that most of their members are indigenous to the Syndicate. ”

"Indigenous?"

"Yes, the Syndicate is famous because of the constant influx of displaced people and criminals from the other three major countries, but before that, there were also primitive natives, the first generation of natives, in this desert."

"Because of this, all the ghost tribes composed of local villagers, although the population is about tens of thousands, but their comprehensive strength is probably not stronger than a gang organization of thousands of people, so they try to avoid all wars, do not participate in any fighting, and stubbornly defend their small oasis, and live by digging ores in the desert and taking desert plants."

Hearing this, Elena next to her frowned first.

The ghost who was in Illinois before, although his strength has also regressed, he can still summon a powerful spell like the Holy Sword Enchantment, if he hadn't encountered their demons, in the human world, he should have belonged to the top of the pyramid.

As a result, such ghosts can now only rely on low-level means of livelihood such as mining and medicine?

Yuffie shook his head and said, "Not only that, before those merchants left, a force called the "Bloody Hand Gang" had already issued an ultimatum to the ghost tribe, asking them to hand over the oasis and carry out population consolidation, that is, annexation. ”

"The Bloody Hand Gang is one of the Syndicate's several major forces, controlling a number of oasis cities, with a population of more than 100,000, several times that of the Ghost Tribe, and its leader, legend has it that he is a very vicious criminal who escaped from the "Inquisition", and his strength is unfathomable. ”

"Okay, I see, is there anything else?"

"The prosecutor of the empire has left, and he has not discovered our disguise, with the nature of the empire, it should not be long before the syndicate will also be dispatched, which the professor needs to pay attention to." Yuffie thought for a moment and added.

After listening to Yufie's report and returning to the auditorium on the fifth floor of the Magic Tower, Liao Yu summoned all the apostles to make a unified plan for the next action.

First of all, no matter whether the ghost tribe in the intelligence is the one you want to find or not, you can first protect the key people of this tribe before you can carry out a follow-up investigation.

But the information of the merchants was a few days ago, and it is likely that the ghost tribe has been attacked now, and Illinois is about a week away from the Syndicate, to say the least, it is impossible to send a large force immediately, so.

Liao Yu turned his head to look at Hill.

"Ciel, as the vanguard of our race, you set off at once, and take the lead in going to the Syndicate, trying to find this human and save her life as much as possible."

The fastest moving demon in the demon clan is the Shadow Demon.

It is possible to jump back and forth in the shadows.

If Ciel, who is the Shadow Demon Apostle, rush to full speed, it should only take half a day to reach the Syndicate.

Hill immediately took the order and took a piece of information handed over by Liao Yu, on which there was a portrait of a woman in her twenties, who was the leader of the ghost tribe.

After all, this is a solo mission, Liao Yu still can't help but admonish: "In addition, remember Ciel, no matter what happens halfway, your own safety will always come first, and anything beyond the plan will wait for us to arrive." ”

"Yes, king."

Next, Liao Yu turned his head to Zhi Mo.

"Leon, you're in charge of investigating and monitoring the movements of the Imperial Army, and if possible, the Syndicate will be a good burial place."

Liao Yu didn't plan to let go of the fish sent up like this, at least he had to take the initiative to try, after all, the last order envoy had given him a salvation relic like the "Illustrated Book", in case the Imperial Raiders could also burst out some gold coins this time.

However, the risk factor of this task is very large, so Liao Yu handed it over, and the most powerful Zhimo did it.

"Yes, king." Leon stood up to take orders.

It's not okay to patronize the syndicate, and Illinois, which belongs to his own basic plate, also needs to leave an apostle, so after thinking about it, it has to be in the end

When Liao Yu's eyes came, Elena already understood that as a succubus, she was supposed to take care of the internal affairs for the king.

"Rest assured, King, Elena will guard Illinois and ensure that the King's policy of enslavement of humanity is strictly enforced."

After Liao Yu nodded, he should have known what to say next, this time it was another apostle, Viercy, as a newcomer, who took the initiative to speak.

"Godking, this syndicate mission, Vilshee begged the king to give the main position to the elves, we accepted the king's gift, hoping to sacrifice strength for the king, and the elves will never disappoint the king."

Vershey's words, the other apostles acquiesced, even Elena, and did not say much, the elves really need real results to show their worth and loyalty.

Liao Yu naturally knew this, nodded and allowed Vilcy.

As for the rest of the apostles, there is no need to make a big fight, Arpad and Hercule continue to train the army in the magic tower, Alice is responsible for handling the garbage transformation of the magic tower, and the magic Dadaya controls the magic tower and flies to the syndicate.

Hill has already taken the lead.

Liao Yu and Vilxi, who couldn't wait for the speed of the magic tower, led a small number of elves and a large number of monster armies as the second batch of teams to set foot on the back of the Chimera.

The blue-purple three-headed giant bird, flapping its wings and flying high, rushed into the clouds, carrying the elven army above, with a roar through the air, and flew straight to the distant desert basin - the Syndicate.
