fallen devil

Chapter 252 Sweeping of the Palace II, Act II
Tang Ze saw the open and secret struggle between these nine professionals.

Just because they all want to be the best among their subordinates, and they come from different countries, mutual hostility is inevitable.

Clicking at this moment, on the surface, he is not turning a blind eye and avoiding hidden dangers.

Of course, the best way is to formally select a leader among the nine, so as to calm down the scene. Regarding this point, Tang Ze privately thinks that the blue-haired female assassin Dorothy is a very good candidate. In addition, Her contribution is by far the greatest.

Tang Ze's words undoubtedly gave these nine professionals a blow.

Undoubtedly, they were in awe of Tang Ze.

"With all I have, I assure you that the nine of us will not make stupid mistakes."

Almost instantly, Dorothy knelt heavily towards Tang Ze with a solemn expression, using her highest etiquette.

Stupid mistake of course refers to infighting, but it's interesting what she means by that.

It's a bit like a self-recommended self-introduction. She implicitly revealed that she wanted to be the leader of these nine people, or in other words, to become a better subordinate.

Such people are rare.

"Remember your oath."

Looking at Dorothy's beautiful face, Tang Ze made a faint sound, then turned around, ready to return to the throne of bones.

The black line grabbed the five unconscious professionals, and soon, his figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind nine professionals looking at each other.

"Should we follow now?"

A barbarian scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"it's not true."

Under the indifferent eyes of some professionals, Dorothy stood up slowly, showing a reserved smile, "My lord, no, it should be called the master."

"He gave me time, and I hope I can use it to adjust you."

Dorothy's beautiful voice ended when another savage with a devil tattoo narrowed his eyes and asked, "Could it be that you are boldly making a request to your lord in order to use us to your heart's content, Dorothy? ?”

After a pause, he continued: "You should think about it, if something happens, you will be the one to suffer."

As if threatening Dorothy, but the latter sighed and shook his head.

"You and I are not sure about taking this position, but there is one thing I know better than you."

The red lips parted slightly, revealing the white teeth, "If you are the one who caused the disturbance, after the master disposes of me, you will also be doomed."

Afterwards, Dorothy's voice became a little higher, "Anyone is the same, if you want to be destroyed with me, the choice is in your hands."

It was plain enough that Dorothy would be punished for anyone who thought of internal strife, but that person could not escape.

The nine professionals here are all people who cherish life, otherwise they would not have chosen to follow Tang Ze for the first time. After regaining their power, they cherished their present even more, and they would not have troubled themselves and Dorothy. .

From this point of view, Dorothy is indeed very bold.

"It's crazy."

Lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, the barbarian with the devil tattoo shook his head and commented, "However, I am in awe of your courage."

"I have no opinion."

Seeing the barbarian and the druid brothers express their opinions, the remaining professionals also expressed their opinions, "I have no objection." "Me too."

Most of the time, Dorothy's position is just a false position, at least until she really gained Tang Ze's trust, she couldn't command the other eight people at will.

So this result can also be accepted.

"Hehe, I'm very honored."

With an elegant smile, Dorothy's eyes revealed a faint light, as if she had expected this moment, "It is our luck to serve the master."

As soon as the subject changed, Dorothy signaled the three female assassins behind her to come forward, "Now, I need to check some things. Don't worry, it's just a simple question and answer."

"'The Black Crow' really deserves its reputation. Only four people can take on the task of an intelligence agency."

Suddenly, the silent necromancer with a slight smile said something that made Dorothy frown.

"What? 'Black Raven,' the woman?"

"Interesting, it turned out to be from Ernstinger, but Ernstinger doesn't seem to have a name like Dorothy? Haha."

"But having said that, it's really strange. How could the people of 'Dark Crow' risk their lives and come here to take the lead?"

Dorothy's identity surprised these professionals. Ernstinger was far away from Kanduras. In this era of demons, it was by no means a distance that could be crossed by ordinary means of transportation.

"Then I'll start asking questions."

Taking the question with a faint smile, Dorothy looked calm.

···
Manor in the Black Wastes.

"The master has won, and the next thing to deal with is the professionals."

Dark Tucker opened his eyes, revealing his nakedness. During this time, he tried to absorb the power of the evil breath, but the effect was not obvious.

"The team that followed the master to the gate of the monastery has returned, and we need to find out more about the monsters in the uncleaned area."

Countess Caria nodded, and then continued: "The progress of those professionals is at the junction of the dark forest and the black wasteland. The master left an order to summon monsters to stop them before the black wasteland. As he expected, the occupation Those who choose to return temporarily to regroup."

"After Andariel is wiped out by the master, I will collect the monsters that can be used as soon as possible to form an actionable army. Before that, the manor still needs your help to take care of it."

"If possible, pay more attention to the movement of professionals."

After listening, Darktak nodded. Its considerations were similar to those of the Countess. As a subordinate, it is very important to maintain the status quo. Regarding the renovation of the manor and other major decisions, Tang Ze can only judge after he returns.

"How is the situation in the human village?"

Suddenly remembering this matter, Antak asked, "Master has ordered you to pay attention to the situation of the human village during this period."

"Of course, the fallen Rogue I sent has been watching carefully and obtained a lot of information."

It seemed that he had expected this problem in Darktak for a long time. The countess had a very calm expression, and calmly called a few fallen Rogues, and asked them to fetch a piece of paper, which was composed of Canduran language and various lines. map.

"As mentioned before, the human village is hidden behind the professional battle line, before the human kingdom, it can be said to be a buffer zone between the front and the kingdom."

"But there is one exception."

The white index finger slid upwards along a line, and finally landed on a red mark.

"See here."

The countess couldn't help showing a smile, and then explained the reason, "This is a village separated by two forests, three peaks away from the black wasteland, almost completely bypassing the defense line of professionals - in fact, because this village is close to the dangerous There is no way to set up the professional battle lines in the mountains and forests, and even the soldiers of the human empire would not be willing to stay there."

Hearing this, Antak shook his head, "This flaw is too obvious, it is inevitable that it is a trap. It is unbelievable that human beings are so slack."

"Haha."

The countess smiled, "Human beings slack for a reason."

Sensing the surprised gaze from Darktak, the countess murmured to herself as if recalling, "When the plague of demons first appeared, many manors fell, and many people had no time to care about other things, such as those in Candulas. Prince."

"The news of the demon's attack spread like wildfire. The empire sent a sufficient number of soldiers and scouts to monitor every move of the demon. The defense can be said to be flawless."

"but."

With a playful sigh, the countess continued, "Andariel did not let the monster swarm continue to advance, which also allowed the professional front to take shape, faintly stopping the spread of demonic disasters. Then, about half a year later, Realizing that the devil would not come over the mountain, the soldiers evacuated and were busy cleaning up the interior."

"You know, the way demons erode is not limited to force. As far as I know, the fall of the imperial capital of Kanduras is more or less caused by internal ghosts. At the same time, Westmarch is also troubled by this."

Having said that, Darktak couldn't help interrupting the Countess's speech, "After the internal troubles are resolved, don't you send soldiers to re-form the encirclement?"

"It's about the same. The number of troops has been reduced by about half. Symbolic defensive measures must be taken."

Noticing Darkaker's pensive but puzzled expression, the countess said helplessly: "Sending troops is not as easy as you imagined, and it requires a lot of financial resources, and these are exactly what some people are unwilling to do."

"Since we already know that the devil will not really come, we only need to do a good job in appearance to reassure the people and the king, and the saved wealth can be used to do more things."

Touching her fair chin, the Countess added, "At least I think so."

Afterwards, Darktak resumed his previous ruthless look.

"Their laziness will be their Achilles' heel."

Dark Tucker is the closest existence to Tang Ze in this manor, and the countess didn't want to comment on its words, but just lowered her head and put away the map.

"You still have a lot to learn, I think this is what the master means."

···
In the distant gray plain, a jet-black wing flitted across.

The night was very dark, and whispers came from the floating grass.

"The signal is here, let your lord know."

"Whose signal? Nobody's going to use this thing... God damn it."

"There are a lot of things involved in this matter, so don't make too many comments, just hand in the things."

In the next few hours, in a gorgeous palace, two holy officials in white robes with gold patterns sat on one side, and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes sat on the other side.

And on the wooden table between them, a pitch-black feather was shining, sitting quietly on a silver plate.

"I want to know what's going on here?"

The middle-aged man carried an air of calm and prestige, and his expression was indescribably gloomy, and this gloomy expression was obviously aimed at the two holy officials in front.

"My lord, we know nothing about this matter."

"I explained it to you nine years ago. We are also very sad about what happened to Dorothy. You know very well—"

The two holy officials looked at each other with just the right amount of worry, but they froze quickly.

"In other words, someone stole my daughter's power and learned how to use the dark magic power, and then deliberately used this token and showed it to me?"

Boom! ! !

When the middle-aged man slapped the table, the luxurious disc on it trembled continuously, and the anger on his face became clearer and clearer.

"Dorothy joined the Church of Light at the instigation of you. If it wasn't for that, but with the darkness...and my daughter's status, it wouldn't be worthwhile to go all the way to Candulas to find the devil."

"If there is anyone who is Dorothy's enemy, I think they are very similar."

The threatening voice was very clear.

"Please calm down, Your Excellency."

A holy official was a little at a loss, stood up with a wry smile, and expressed his apology.

"In that case, we will find out where this pitch-black feather came from."

"In addition, please calm down, Your Excellency. Dorothy is not only an outstanding professional, she is also a rare ambassador of our Church of Light. Losing an excellent believer like her is not only your loss, but also our Cathedral of Light, and even The loss of the entire Bright Front."

"Humph."

A sneer suddenly appeared on the face of the middle-aged man, he waved his hand, and several warriors holding golden long swords walked out behind him.

An invisible wave spread, and the expressions of the two holy officials changed drastically.
