I'm a villain, not a devil

"Our spies were discovered. Only one of them escaped and the rest committed suicide."

Bai Ye brought this news when Sean was preparing materials for his "big plan".

Looking at the spy in front of him, Sean first put his hand on the other's forehead. After confirming that he was not a bait released intentionally, he let the other party start to tell him the information he had obtained.

After all, he had already let Zong Xiong go, and there was no guarantee that the other party would turn around and backstab him, so he better be careful.

"It is like this, Your Majesty, Your Highness..."

After a moment, after listening to the spy's story, Sean and Bai Ye looked at each other in surprise.

Based on Zongxiong's escape route, Noah helped Sean draw a map to the City of Sand. With the map, Sean asked Bai Ye to send a group of spies to lurk in the other four satellite cities.

Unexpectedly, the City of Sand suddenly started a so-called census, and there was even an extremely powerful man leading people to patrol around the satellite city. This time, the empire's spies were discovered by the patrols and almost wiped out.

If the remaining person was not a rare space expert, and if the other spies had not helped him delay time, I'm afraid no one would have been able to escape back.

"An extremely powerful person?" Sean said thoughtfully.

The spy nodded. "Yes, according to the information we have gathered, the only people wearing that kind of uniform are the three commanders of the Sand City's Blazing Sun Corps. The Sand City usually doesn't care about the situation in other satellite cities, let alone letting the commanders come out to patrol in person. They must be making a big move!"

Sean nodded thoughtfully. The spies did not return empty-handed. At least they brought back some information about the situation in the City of Sand, including the Fiery Sun Legion, the Round Table Council and the Galactic Laboratory, as well as the name of the "Holy Spirit Church" and the honorable name of the omniscient and omnipotent Holy Spirit Lord.

"The defenders are from the Fiery Sun Legion, one man and one woman. So the one I met that day was the female defender... Tsk, is the city of sand so profound?"

The city defender belonging to the Fiery Sun Legion has a strength close to that of Deep Blue, so the other city defender and the three legion commanders will not be much worse. In other words, in the City of Sand, the Fiery Sun Legion alone has at least five strong men who are close to Deep Blue. We can even boldly say that among these five people, there is a high probability that half or even more are true Deep Blues.

This is just one faction of the Fiery Sun Legion. Although according to spies, the Fiery Sun Legion is currently the only dominant faction in the City of Sand, the so-called Round Table Council and Galactic Laboratory are at least one of the three symbiotic factions. The difference between the top powerhouses is at most in numbers.

Oh, and there are also the so-called three agents.

After sending the spy away, Sean smiled at Bai Ye, who looked a little strange, and said, "Why, Your Majesty, you seem a little nervous?"

Bai Ye did not say anything stubborn. The new Queen had been working hard to govern the country in the past month and her personality had become more pragmatic.

"It's impossible not to be nervous. If the news the spies heard is true, I'm actually somewhat thankful that the Empire didn't see the real City of Sand during its previous attack."

Sean shrugged his shoulders casually. "That's true... Tsk tsk tsk, even if it's just an estimate, there are more than ten strong people in the Sand City who are almost as strong as Deep Blue. Tsk... Even if we take into account some mascots or symbolic figures, there are at least seven or eight people in the Sand City who can compete with Deep Blue."

He looked at Bai Ye: "When the empire was at its strongest, how many Deep Blues were there?"

Bai Ye frowned: "According to records, during its heyday, the empire had three genuine deep blue-level masters."

"What about now?"

Bai Ye’s face turned sour: “One, no, the emperor’s uncle went to do his thing, and the empire now has no deep blue.”

Sean laughed: "What a difference! Your empire claims to be the most powerful force in the entire continent."

Bai Ye said unconvincedly, "In terms of territory and development level, the Empire is the most powerful in the entire continent. Moreover, this is... this is the case when my father invested all the resources of the Empire for nearly 20 years into his own 'grand plan'."

Sean shrugged noncommittally, then held up his cheek and said lazily, "Don't you think it's weird?"

"There are so many strange things." Bai Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Sean chuckled, "Of course, but if there are so many strong people in this Sand City, even if we follow the minimum standard, that is to say, the remaining people are like Sha Youling, relying on that armor or something else to have strength close to Deep Blue, it is still a very scary thing."

Deep Blue, this is not just talk, there was not a single Deep Blue in the empire before, and Bai Wujiu tried his best to make trouble, but even so, the empire still flourished all over the continent, and when it fought a serious battle, it did not encounter a single capable opponent, which is enough to prove the rarity of Deep Blue.

And now, even Sean has to spend a lot of effort to get a glimpse of Deep Blue's appearance.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The City of Sand has always been unknown, and many people have never even heard of the name of this place. However, their city has so many top powerhouses, which is a bit unreasonable.

Bai Ye, who also realized this, frowned and said, "It's indeed not right. There are so many top experts, and they are not completely ignorant of the outside world... Normally, the City of Sand only needs to send out half of its manpower to nearly sweep across the entire continent and build up an extremely large force."

Sean took over the conversation and said, "But, for so many years, they have been huddled in a city in the gray sea, with no intention of expansion. Even the establishment of satellite cities was somewhat reluctant... Hey, this is really interesting. In this messed up world, are there really the legendary pacifists?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows: "Human nature will never change. I don't think they love peace."

Sean laughed. "I don't think so either. Besides, did you notice that the entire population of Sand City is religious? It's that damn Three Saints Religion. How could a city with a population that believes in religion, and a world where there really are gods, not have a unified political and religious system? Three factions controlling the city under the management of three agents? That's crazy..."

Bai Ye nodded: "Not only that, in the satellite cities of Sand City, not to mention religion, there is not even a church of the Three Saints, as if they don't need believers at all."

Sean stretched and said, "So, there must be something wrong with this damn Three Saints Church. No, to be more precise, there is something wrong with the Sand City."
