Chapter 546: Interlude II

Ademili's arrival was a real surprise, and after hearing the report of the fish-man herald, Merlin and Balmore immediately rushed out of the camp. Zero also walked out, the Tur camp had been cleared out of most of the grounds, and the most important cistern was still in use, but it was a pity that the two thorny trolls were killed during the general attack on Cazeroth, otherwise they could have sped up the process of water purification.

But the entire Silent State has been destroyed, and the cold magma can be transformed into fertile soil after a certain amount of time, but this time is usually measured in the hundreds. Therefore, this place is no longer suitable for the Tur people. According to Merlin's invitation, Tuxian had already decided to move his clan to the Green Capital, but he was more seriously injured than Merlin, and almost both of his arms were about to be chopped off by the spatial rift, so he still needed to recuperate on the high ground for a few days. Wait until the injury is almost over before migrating.

Jihua, who was originally based on Zero and Merlin, was preparing to set off for a long attack that night, and he must take advantage of Cazeroth's current vitality to break it in one fell swoop in order to save Adimili. But this spiritual leader, who had been secretly transferred by Midra, now appeared on the slope. And behind her, there are also people who are obviously from the Worm Country.

It was a big [meat]] worm that looked like a large leech. I just had a cigar on my mouth, but I don't know if it was because of fear or whatever, this guy was so fat that the cigar almost fell out of his mouth many times.

But it's no wonder, after all, there is a green capital army of several thousand people stationed on the high ground. As a member of Cazeroth, it was remarkable that Lavia didn't faint on the spot.

"Laviachia?" Balmore had seen the big fat man at the Hobbitstone Bazaar, and of course the chief of the guard knew his identity, so he explained to Merlin next to him: "He is a pawn that Cazeras is arranging in Hobbieston, mainly responsible for intelligence gathering and material purchases, and belongs to the fringes of the power of the Bug Nation. ”

Merlin nodded, then greeted him.

At the camp gate, Ademili stood still. The Red Grand Duke apologized, "Ademili, I have frightened you because of my negligence. But I'm curious how you managed to get back. Also, what is the identity of this Mr. Laviachia now?"

The Red Grand Duke is not a fool, seeing that Ademili came back safely, and followed by Laviachia, he had already guessed that Adimiri's ability to come back had something to do with the marginal officials of this insect country.

Adimili smiled slightly, and explained the fact that she had forced Laviachia to cooperate, and said, "Mr. Laviachia can be regarded as our man now. He and his guards had intended to send me back to the Green Capital, but halfway through we discovered that the Cazeras army had surrounded the Silent Continent. Because of this battle, we can't continue to follow the previous jihua, and can only wait and see. We wanted to move forward after the battle, but we saw our Gegeniyah warriors, so we went around to see what was going on. ”

"Things won't be clear for a while, and since you're here, we'll probably have a few days to spare. Merlin looked at Zero and said, "Everyone has been tired these days. ”

Zero smile, noncommittal.

Ademili returned safely, and Merlin was indeed able to rest for a few days. But he couldn't, just in time for the time they had been in the High Ground for the past few days, Zero and Betsy could go and get back the so-called evidence.

The rest is a lot of stuff.

The first is the rest and recuperation of the Tuku clan and the healing of Tuxian. Then there are Merlin's several big men in the green capital who are considering whether to take the opportunity to attack Cazeras, and Midra captures Ademili, which can be said to have violated the bottom line of Hamemis. It's just that the army assigned from the green capital is mainly based on the two tasks of sneak attack and rescue, and they are very mobile, but they do not have the ability to attack the city.

If you want to storm Cazeras, you must at least transfer a few other special classes in the green capital, only fish-man swordsmen and long-range support soldiers, I am afraid that they are not qualified to fight the insect country. Even if they left 20,000 soldiers here in the oasis, there are at least 50,000 strong soldiers in the territory of the Worm Country, as well as some powerful troops.

So this jihua probably won't work, not to mention that Ademili has other plans. By supporting Lavikia, the Green Capital will expand its influence within the Bug Country. Then, through assassination and reform, it will divide from within Cazeroth in a bloodless manner, and finally achieve the goal of reorganizing the power structure and installing a puppet leader to complete the annexation of Cazeroth by the Green Capital.

And all of this is based on the perfect opportunity for Midra to be nowhere to be found. Coupled with the new defeat of Cazeroth and the loss of another general, it is conceivable that the Bug Country is now in chaos. And at this time, it is a good opportunity for Laviakia to break into the pyramid of power in the Worm Country.

One scheme after another was put on the table, and Merlin, Ademili, and even Baltia joined the discussion. Zero has no interest in participating in this kind of political meeting, not to mention that this is still someone's internal affair, so he doesn't want to meddle even more. He left the tent, where Leah was practicing with Hevi. Yeru sat by and watched, and from time to time offered her own opinions.

After the battle in the Highlands, Leah has a desire to be strong. It's just that Zero is very clear that Leah wants to be strong, and a big reason has to do with herself. She wanted to be with her, not in the safety of the rear in an important war.

It's just that this kind of thing will barely come for a while, and Zero only hopes that Leah won't put too much pressure on herself.

He had already decided to leave with Betsy tomorrow morning, and although he didn't know what the alleged evidence was in Zero's mouth, Su and Kaede insisted on accompanying him. After all, Zero is now at the end of his injury, and he can't even recover to his heyday even if his energy level doesn't take two or three days. It is very dangerous to let him act alone like this, and for the kindness of these two people, Zero is disrespectful.

However, in this war in the highlands, Zero also benefited a lot. In addition to the fact that the spiritual will has been further condensed in the war and has become more unstoppable. The most intuitive benefit is a large number of evolution points, and after continuous battles, Zero forgets how many bugs he has killed. But one thing is for sure, that number will never be less. Because of the addition of the evolution points stored before, there are now as many as 512 evolution points at his disposal.

So many evolution points were enough for him to raise Liliang to the ninth order, but Zero was in no hurry to improve his rank. Because there is a key problem in this, and that is the pseudo-realm!

Unlike a real realm that can create a rule that governs arbitrariness, a pseudo-realm is usually only capable of dominating one rule. But even so, there are very few people who can produce pseudo-realms. When an ability person has enough evolution points to raise their ability to the ninth order, the vast majority of people will immediately invest all their evolution points in the matter of raising the rank. But there are not many people who can create a pseudo-realm at the same time as they are promoted, and they will do this because of the pursuit of Liliang, and the other biggest reason is the lack of intelligence.

After all, the existence of pseudo-realms is only recorded in the ability files of some large organizations and even individuals. Hence the creation of pseudo-fields, like buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, almost with the odds.

Through the contact with those superiors in Asgard, especially the conversation with Casirio, the butler of the Black Rose Family, when he came to this tundra battlefield, he vaguely felt that the creation of the pseudo-realm was not uncontrollable. Even, it may be the product of a second genetic shock!

As we all know, the generation of capable people comes from genetic shocks. Zero is an exception, and his abilities are derived from the body's replication and extraction of genetic cells. Previously, he only thought that it was the product of some kind of modification of his body, but after learning his true origin in the white blood cell base, Zero knew that this copying and extraction was just an instinct of the memory group.

While in Raging Reef, Zero finally completed his first genetic shock, and possessed a special ability that was not in any of the ability maps, Rampage. It's just that the improvement of Liliang is limited, and with the advancement of zero ability, he has hardly used this ability. After this, he learned about the genetic shock from the mouth of the doctor Victor, and there will be a chance to have a second, or even three, shock after the first shock.

After each genetic shock, as long as you don't die, you will develop special abilities that are not in any of the ability maps. And after going through so many things, combined with all aspects of intelligence, it seems that nine times out of ten the pseudo-realm is the product of the second shock. Therefore, Zero did not want to risk his rank until he knew how to actively perform the secondary shock.

Because according to all the intelligence, the pseudo-realm appeared when the ability person was promoted to the ninth order. Therefore, this level is the most critical advancement for the career of the capable. Whether you have a domain or not, even if it is an ability of the same level, it is a world of difference. This was also the reason why Betsy had stayed in the Eighth Order for so long, after all, there was only one opportunity to generate a realm.

As he pondered, a dry cough interrupted Zero's thoughts. He didn't have to look back to know that Staley was coming, and the smell of wine was too strong for him to ignore even if he wanted to. Starley walked over to the place next to Zero, he stretched, rubbed his short hair and half-squinted, and said, "Captain Zero, isn't it time for a showdown? Those killers who are obviously chasing you are here, and the real intention of going to the green capital." ”

Zero smiled faintly, he knew that Starley had finally seen some clues: "Captain Staley, remember the night at the foot of Mount Tulash, I asked you how you would choose when the opportunity for peace appeared in front of you?"

"What does that have to do with that?" Staley asked rhetorically.

"I'm here, and I have nothing to hide from you. This war, our mission, all this is a conspiracy. Or rather, the fire of war that is ignited to fulfill someone's ambitions. All I have to do now is to put out the flames of this war and bring the culprit to the public. ”

"Who is it?"

Zero was surprised: "You believe me?"

Staley grabbed a few handfuls of hair and grinned, "I can't seem to find an example of you lying." ”

"But don't tell me it's him."

It wasn't explicitly stated, but judging by Staley's expression, Zero knew he was talking about Tyr: "Weishenme would you think it's him?"

"Quite simply, if this war is won, isn't it obvious that the biggest beneficiary?" said Staley seriously, "but he is in a high position, and until there is enough evidence, he is still our supreme leader." So Zero, you should know what you're doing. Now you are like stepping on a tightrope on a cliff, or the one without insurance. ”

"I know, so I'm going to go and insure myself tomorrow. On the edge of the high ground, it's Captain Staley. ”

"Understood, you should be careful. Staley added, "I hope we don't become enemies, or I'll have a headache." ”

"Each other, each other. "Zero smile.

The next morning, they set off. A team of four returned to the Tulash Mountains under the leadership of Betsy, and through the information provided by Betsy, they deduced the time required to return to the Mountains, and agreed with Ademili to meet at the Storm Fortress in ten days, and then go to the green capital of Gegnah.

So for the next few days, the Zero Four spent almost all of them in the mountains. It was not until the evening of the fifth day that Betsy led them along a very rough mountain road to the foot of the mountain, and then through a valley, and finally to a forest. It's hard to imagine that there is a human village in the western tundra, a land dominated by intelligent races.

From a distance, you can see more than 20 bungalows made of timber spread out on a flat land in the forest. The size of the village is not large, but the living facilities are well equipped. They have a deep water purification well, a small generator set, and the edge of the village is a three-metre-high wall of concrete. At the entrance to the village, there are two watchtowers, and the two rapid-fire heavy guns on the watchtowers indicate that the village has a passable defense.

If it weren't for Betsy leading the way, even if they had been allowed to wander around the Tulash Mountains for a year, it would have been difficult to find this village.

"Where is this?" Zero asked.

Betsy's eyes softened and she said, "This is my home." ”

"Home?"

"Why, can't someone like me have a family?" Betsy laughed, "but speaking of which, I haven't been back for almost a year." You're still the first guests, and I didn't let them know about this place, even Pedhfanie and them. ”

"You should be glad you didn't, or the village would have ended up in the same fate as one of your colleagues. Zero said lightly.

Betsy knew he was referring to Kim, and was speechless.

When they came out of a dense forest, the sentry on the tower had already spotted them. One of the bald men shouted from the tower, "Stop! ”

Betsy stepped forward and smiled and asked, "Is that me?"

The strong man was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Betsy, it turned out to be your kid, aren't you dead yet?"
