Chapter 365: Confidential Information of the Violent Search and Capture Group
After the Three Sages of the Apocalypse Sect arrived in person, the battle quickly drew to an end.
Maybe they felt the threat from the powerhouses of the Holy Rank, or maybe they really ran out of means, and the people of the violent search and arrest group did not launch a new counterattack. After more than two hundred stalwarts were surrounded and wiped out, and dozens of pretenders were completely purified, the small fortress on Sanban Street on the coast became quiet.
However, the Apocalypse Order's busy schedule has only just begun.
In this battle, a large number of clergy were wounded. Because of the Blood Moon Catastrophe 800 years ago, there were many pretenders with terrifying stealth and concealment abilities, and in order to avoid causing a catastrophe, all the clergy who participated in the war were ordered to check on each other. Moreover, they will also have to clean up the battlefield, capture the remnants of the escape, and completely seal the property of the violent search and capture group and the strongholds connecting various places.
In addition, such a vigorous battle is enough to make the local forces in the green capital violently shake. The Apocalypse Order had to send representatives to meet and reassure them one by one.
Another tricky thing is the relationship with the Lanwu royal family.
The small city of Green Capital, although it is very inconspicuous in the political map of the Lanwu Empire, even ninety percent of the royal family has never heard of it. However, it was a city of the empire after all, and a fief of a baron. But in the previous Thunder Operation, the Apocalypse Sect directly attacked the city and arrested all the sheriffs appointed by the baron. Such an act, if it were a different organization, I am afraid that it would have already touched the sensitive nerves of the royal family.
However, it was the Apocalypse Sect that did this kind of thing, which made the empire helpless and jealous. Even if they understand the necessity of doing so, they will still feel uncomfortable.
How to resolve the dissatisfaction of the imperial family is what the Apocalypse Order needs to do next.
Of course, dealing with the Empire will naturally be done by someone from the Apocalypse Sect Headquarters. At this moment, the main task of the clergy on the expedition is to completely seal off the headquarters of the Violent Search and Capture Group. It is necessary to discover and sort out every secret passage, every arrangement, and every valuable information.
This is not difficult for the clergy who have enough manpower, but it is very trivial.
Because of his excellent performance in the previous battle, in the summary in the evening, Lu Chengfeng and Yue Mingxuan accepted the cardinal's personal reception. Although the afternoon battle left a mess, the commander of the expedition, who had won the final victory, seemed to be in a good mood. not only praised the few people who came over together one by one, but also named Lu Chengfeng, an honorary member.
"To be able to cultivate such a powerful sword intent when he was in the seventh order, and to kill that pretender in one move, the young man now is really terrifying!"
As he spoke, he handed over a box in his hand.
Inside the box, it was not anything of value, but a badge of honor of the same style. It's just that the color of this badge is gold on a white background, and the texture is much better than the previous badge. Obviously, even if you are an honorary member, there is a distinction between rank and power.
Lu Chengfeng's current badge, in Yue Mingxuan's words, is already comparable to a white bishop.
Of course, it is only comparable, and there is no difference between superficial treatment and ordinary authority. When it comes to the core power, Lu Chengfeng, an outsider, still can't compare. But Rao is like this, such a badge is also what countless nobles of the family want to break their heads. To take one point, the Skylight Mercenary Regiment under Lu Chengfeng has benefited from this badge and can now undertake some special tasks of the Apocalypse Sect. And these tasks with abundant oil and water and minimal danger are not open to the public in normal times.
This alone is enough to create a powerful mercenary organization.
From this, it can be understood that the symbolic meaning of this high-level badge of honor is far from what outsiders can imagine.
After handing out the rewards, the cardinal did not immediately let them go, but gave a brief introduction to several people about the results of the search a few hours ago. His deliberate promotion and cultivation made these outstanding young heroes very grateful. Even Yue Mingxuan, in the name of the Jingmen Yue family, expressed his gratitude euphemistically.
At first, Lu Chengfeng was a little surprised by the cardinal's kind actions. However, after getting to know a little about these outstanding young masters, Lu Chengfeng immediately became abrupt. In the afternoon battle, there were many outstanding performers, and although these people were equally impressive, one important reason is that almost all of them had extraordinary family backgrounds.
Either they are also from the top ten families, or the elders are from a certain core master. Even Lu Chengfeng, an outsider who was received exceptionally, had all kinds of confusing backgrounds outside the Order: the Holy Rank Fighting God from the Terra Realm, the Liu family on the West Coast, the exquisite lightsaber skills that only prevailed thousands of years ago, and all kinds of unbelievable evil gods. Even if he only relied on himself, he had recently formed a Skylight mercenary group......
From this point of view, the cardinal's dedication to such an opportunity in his busy schedule was clearly well thought out.
He didn't lose at all!
Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile knowingly in his heart. When he was still a prince before his rebirth, it was not unheard of such a thing that seemed to be close to the people but was actually "powerful". However, when the cardinal talked about the harvest at the headquarters of the Violent Raiders, he quickly turned his attention to hear about this evil force.
Who the hell built such a mysterious and powerful organization?
"Some of the core information, as well as the contact information of the subordinate peripheral agencies, were destroyed by the leader of the violent search and capture group. Speaking of this, the cardinal's face was obviously a little unhappy: "According to the confessions of several cultists who were willing to speak, during the afternoon battle, that mysterious guy did not make a move from beginning to end, but only left through the teleportation array at the end, destroying the most important things before leaving. ”
The fluctuations of the teleportation array were still quite obvious, and the few people present were aware of it when they were fighting, and they were not surprised to hear the results at this moment.
After all, the cardinal was very deep in the city, and his expression quickly returned to normal. After saying that, he elaborated: "Judging from the information obtained so far, the appearance of the violent search and arrest group is very sudden and unreasonable. According to the information gathered by various parties, this organization should have been founded around the summer of twelve years ago. I don't know why, but this is where they first appeared, and then they used this Sanban Street as their headquarters, and they have been entrenched until today. ”
"Twelve years ago?"
Including Lu Chengfeng, several young heroes of the Apocalypse Sect were racking their brains to reminisce. But it is clear that there was nothing special about that year, and no one got anything useful.
However, the news leaked by the cardinal is indeed a little strange.
It stands to reason that an organization like the Violent Search and Arrest Group should have been founded by a few people who accidentally met together and were like-minded, and then initiated and gradually expanded its scale. Judging from what he revealed, it seemed like he suddenly appeared on the Ink Wind Continent after a point in time. Moreover, this location is also up for debate. Is it just because it's remote and not easy to spot, or is there something else going on?
Several people were thinking about it, but there was still too little information available, and no one could come up with a reliable idea.
After a brief silence for a few seconds, it was Lu Chengfeng who took the lead in asking the question: "So, what is the purpose of the establishment of the organization of the Violent Search and Arrest Group? Worship a certain evil god, or simply hate humans?"
What Lu Chengfeng was referring to was a case committed by the members of the violent search and arrest group at the Spirit Clan Ruins. In the previous battle, he also made a move to let the pretenders try to break out of the siege and cholera green capital. Even if this may be a disguise to attract the attention of the Apocalypse Order, it can still tell a lot.
After all, the slightest loss of control of something like the Pretender could lead to a resurgence of the Blood Moon Havoc.
This is also what the Apocalypse Sect and even the three major human empires are most worried about.
Of course, the cardinal understood what Lu Chengfeng meant, he rubbed his temples a little tiredly, sighed and said, "Judging from the information we have gathered, it seems that the violent search and arrest group is not an ordinary cultist. They believe in the Apostles from the realm of Terra!"
"Apostle?"
Several geniuses from the ten giants of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect present all let out exclamations with different meanings.
Among them, some of them didn't care much about foreign affairs and only focused on cultivating the family inheritance, and their tone was more surprised, obviously not knowing the meaning of the word. Two of them had a thorough and meticulous study of the secret texts of the family and the Order, and thus understood the power of the apostles. Their exclamations were more of surprise and incomprehension.
"The Apostle, who is essentially an evil god, is only recognized as an apostle by being the ten strongest in the Terra Realm and has obtained a recognized title. Lu Chengfeng relied on the information he obtained from Mi Wei to say the most accurate definition, and then asked, "However, it has been a long time since the connection between the Terra Realm and the Ink Wind Continent has been blocked. How did the men of the violent search and arrest suddenly believe in the apostles?"
Yue Mingxuan was born in the Jingmen Yue family, and the apostle was also a secret that he learned from his elders after encountering the black plague Di Ruiji. It is conceivable that among the humans on the continent, there are really few people who know what the apostle is. What Lu Chengfeng asked was also what he was puzzled about. "That's a question we also want to know. The cardinal shook his head, his face a little helpless: "The daily records and secrets involving the violent search and arrest team have been destroyed by them. The only thing that was confirmed was that the Violent Search and Capture Group didn't know why, and decided that the Mofeng Continent would be destroyed by humans. And the apostles from the realm of Terra can redeem this world. So they are hostile to humanity and are trying to lure the apostles of the Terra realm into this world. Speaking of this, he said meaningfully: "The black plague beast of Nojpera is obviously the first victim. ”
