Jetto lowered his head and hunched his waist. All the way from the gate of the base to Sauron and his subordinates to the base's monitoring room, without waiting for Sauron's orders, among his subordinates, an information processing expert has already led his assistant to begin to collect the base's monitoring records and related information.

Each Scarlet Knight is able to have his own private army, and the generals and soldiers of the army can recruit them from outside, or they can rent or even buy them directly from the military headquarters. The size of the army often intuitively reflects the strength of each blood horseman. Like Sauron, because of the financial support of his family, his private army is maintained at about 100 people.

The army consisted of 90 ordinary soldiers, one information processing specialist, one tracking specialist, one biochemical specialist, and seven second-order abilities.

Just to maintain the daily needs of this army, Sauron needs to pay about 100,000 yuan per month. It does not include daily equipment maintenance, subordinates' salaries and other expenses. But as far as Sauron knew, there were a lot of private armies in the Thousand Bloodriders, so his men and horses weren't a big deal.

Naturally, for the rest of the world. Such an army of 100 people is enough to pose a threat to small and medium-sized bases, and the combat power of Sauron, a third-order elemental domain ability, is not counted.

With his own strength, the mere investigation of the Discord was more than enough for both the Council itself and Sauron himself.

Jackto humbly bent his body and reported to the red-haired young man what had happened that day, as far as he knew. By the time the report was finished, Jetto's body was trembling slightly. Standing next to Sauron was like standing next to an arsenal that could explode at any moment. Fire elemental abilities will always inadvertently exude their own strong and violent aura of fire, and it is quite good that Jayto can stand for so long without fainting.

Each of them has their own unique style. These breaths are related to the abilities of the supernatural beings themselves, and only high-level supernatural beings above the tenth order can seal their aura, so that they are no different from ordinary people. Sauron was nowhere near that level, and he had never intended to restrain his aura. That's his sign, his glory. In his opinion, only cowards will restrain their breath, because they are afraid of challenges.

At the same time as Jetto's report was finished, the information processing specialist also completed the work at hand. At that time, after Hans infiltrated the base, the first thing he did was to paralyze the base's power system, so most of the cameras distributed in all corners of the base lost their power supply and stopped working. Only a small percentage of instruments equipped with battery backup are still functional.

But with these surveillance devices, there are only three or two that record Zero fighting Hans. The information experts sorted out the videos that were received by the three equipment, edited them, and formed a complete video. It was then transferred to a portable tablet and played back to Sauron.

In the video, the part where Zero fights Hans is extremely short. There is only 1 minute and 23 seconds of the video, and two-thirds of the time is the two chasing each other in the base. In Zuihou's footage, the image of them leaving the base one after another is deeply imprinted in Sauron's mind.

At noon, a biochemist came to give his life. He was tasked with traveling to the base bar where the two were fighting to collect blood samples from the Discord, but unfortunately, although Jato and the others kept the scene, the target's blood had clotted and the cells inside had long since died and could not be used for research.

"Then you have to go to the wilderness. Kabu, it's up to you next. Sauron's gaze fell on a short, thin man.

The man named Kabu is Sauron's tracking expert, and he is also a hunter with second-order abilities, and his ability to survive in the wild and track creatures is exceptional, so he is highly regarded by Sauron.

It's been almost a week since the battle between Zero and Hans, and the traces of their battle in the wilderness are almost gone. But Kabu did have a knack for it, and with his ability to judge smells, mud, and other subtle clues, Kabu led Sauron to several places of battle. Of course, these places, despite the remnants of Hans's blood, are cell necrosis like the scene in the tavern, and cannot be used as specimens for research.

At the foot of the hill next to the base, Kabu found the scene where Zero used high-concentration alcohol to set Hans on fire. Behind the old trees that had been scorched, there were also black and gray rocks.

Sauron picked up a shard of glass that remained next to the tree, and the shard reflected his face with a contemptuous smile.

"Funny guy. Sauron said softly, referring not to Hans, but to Zero.

Under Ka'b's leadership, they found several battle scenes, as well as many traps. Kabu deduces that the soldier named Zero doesn't have the strength to confront the Discord head-on, but he uses various traps to try to kill the monster. Judging by the different types of traps, Kabu deduces that Zero is ruling out the possibility of killing Hans step by step, and is trying to find out the Discord's weaknesses.

"This time it's a high-temperature combustion. Kabu lay on the ground, sniffed vigorously with his nose, and even picked up the sand on the ground and licked it lightly with his tongue: "That's right, it's high-concentration alcohol." ”

He pulled a bullet out of his pocket, pointed to the broken glass on the ground, and said, "The soldier must have used some method to get the target to pick up the bottle containing alcohol, and he himself shot through the bottle with a sniper rifle from a distance, causing a fire." The purpose, of course, was to burn the target to death with a high-temperature flame. It's just that Jihua failed, because the target had traces of moving towards the east, and judging by the speed of movement, the target did not suffer a fatal blow. ”

"Got it, keep tracking. Sauron frowned.

It seems that this mission is not as easy as imagined. The red-haired youth said in his heart, remembering Zero again. For Sauron, Zero fights more like a hunter than a soldier. Also, in the battle scene that Cullen discovered, there weren't many warheads left behind by Zero, but almost every time the Discord was damaged to varying degrees.

That shows that Zero's marksmanship is very good, and the angle and time of shooting are impeccable. Objectively speaking, if it weren't for the Discord's possession of some strange abilities, other third-order dangerous monsters would have died under these traps and bullets.

When did this small base recruit such a powerful gunner?Sauron thought, naturally, no one could answer his question.

While at the base, he had already asked Jetto and knew that Zero had left not long after Hans's death. He secretly said that it was a pity, otherwise he would have wanted to recruit this gunman under his command.

Sauron's team is lacking a good sniper specialist. Undoubtedly, Zero is suitable for this role.
