Chapter 305: Solving the Hidden Problem in Nanyu City
The Beast G.o.d Cult had left them in Nanyu City to create chaos, not to fight.
At night, in the dirty alleys of Nanyu City, the member of the Beast G.o.d Cult, Czech, was fleeing frantically.
Czech could not have thought of it.
During the day, he had seen with his own eyes that his parishioner had been taken away by a giant black eagle that had descended from the sky.
If he had not been lucky enough to run into a shop on the side of the road to use the toilet, he might have also been taken away.
Because he was afraid of being caught, he had found a residence to stay in.
But just now, he had seen the members of Skylight City’s emergency team leading the search upstairs.
Czech knew very well that in the face of the elite of the Southwest Military’s emergency team, his spirit-type pet beast would not be of any use.
So, he ran out again.
It was very dark tonight, and he could not see his fingers.
This kind of darkness made Czech feel extremely at ease.
“The sky is so dark. As long as I’m careful, I shouldn’t be discovered.” Leaning against the damp wall of the alley, he looked at the sky without any stars or moon, and let out a long sigh of relief. “It’s so dark. Even that huge black eagle definitely won’t be able to discover me.”
As soon as the Czech finished speaking, he heard an ear-piercing howl of the wind.
A pair of giant claws descended from the sky.
He looked at the giant black eagle in front of him in horror, a hint of warmth in his crotch.
The entire night, the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult within the army of Nanyu City had been wiped out cleanly.
Out of the seven Beast Masters hiding in the city, four had been caught, and three were still missing.
Hearing Baker’s report, Lugh said in a low voice, “The remaining three aren’t very strong. They only know how to hide. Your Nanyu City Army will continue to capture them.”
Baker patted his chest and promised, “Yes, Captain Lugh. Our Nanyu City will definitely capture them.”
Lugh looked at Lucy and said, “Tell our brothers that we’ll be leaving Nanyu City tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Major.”
“What?” Baker quickly asked, “Captain Lugh is here. Why are you leaving?”
“There’s another mission.”
“I understand.”
Baker tactfully didn’t pursue the matter any further. Instead, he went to complete the mission at hand.
Hall was dead. The outer city of Nanyu City was severely damaged. Countless residents of the outer city were killed and injured. There were also many soldiers who were killed in battle. They still needed to continue hunting down the escaped prisoners of the Beast G.o.d Cult. Baker was also very busy right now.
After Baker left, only Lugh and the other three Star Glory Beast Masters were left in the office.
Lugh asked, “Where are we going to the next city?”
Their mission was to exterminate the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult, not to stabilize the security of Nanyu City.
There was no need to waste time for the three small fries of the Beast G.o.d Cult.
Turner unfolded a military map of the Southwest Region and placed it on the table. He pointed at the red dot on the map, which was not far from Nanyu City and was close to the Western Military Region, and said, “We should go to Stone City.”
“Stone City?” Lugh nodded. “Indeed, Stone City is very important.”
In the Southwest, the terrain was complicated, and there were many mountains and hills.
From the West to the Southwest, it had been proven that the safest route was through Stone City.
Most of the worm trains from the West to the Southwest would pa.s.s through Stone City.
The Beast G.o.d Cult had infiltrated from the West to the Southwest, so Stone City was probably their first stop.
Turner said, “Even the Southern part of the city has been infiltrated so severely. There should be quite a number of problems in Stone City.”
Lugh asked, “How’s the strength of the Guardian of Stone City, Adams?”
Daler said, “Adams used to be a member of the Special Operations Team of our Emergency Response Team. He’s a Star Glory Beast Master, and his strength is quite good. Otherwise, the military wouldn’t have placed him there.”
“Then let’s go take a look,” Lugh said with a smile. “Maybe we’ll run into a big shot from the Beast G.o.d Cult.”
Turner also agreed with Lugh’s guess. “It’s very likely that we’ll run into him. However, as long as he’s not a King-tier powerhouse, we’re not afraid.”
After all, Stone City was also the territory of the Southwest Military.
There was no reason for them to be afraid of anyone in their own territory.
After resting for a day, Lugh brought his men and boarded the worm train, heading to Stone City.
Gaden had rich field experience, and Lugh’s Stormhawk had been patrolling the sky.
Along the way, they did not encounter any setbacks.
Seven days later, Lugh and his men smoothly arrived at Stone City.
Under the lead of the soldiers stationed at the station, the Emergency Response Team was arranged to the reception area in the central city area.
The entire Stone City was not as prosperous as Lugh had imagined.
On the way to the Military Headquarters of Stone City, Lugh encountered several waves of soldiers patrolling the streets.
Arne and the others arrived at the Military Headquarters of Stone City and met the Guardian of Stone City, Adams.
He was tall and thin, and his eyes were sunken. He looked a little gloomy.
In Adams’ office, after exchanging greetings, both parties sat down. An adjutant poured tea for them.
“Major Lugh?” Seeing the young Lugh, Adams was slightly taken aback before smiling. “I’ve heard so much about you. You’re even more outstanding than I imagined.”
Adams could clearly sense Lugh’s strength as a Platinum-tier Beast Master.
He also noticed that Lugh was at the lower position among the four of them.
Just now, after Lugh sat down, the other three Star Glory Beast Masters from the Emergency Response Team’s Special Operations Team sat down as well.
In other words, the three Star Glory Beast Masters had already acknowledged Lugh’s leadership ability.
“Guardian Adams, you flatter me.”
“That’s not it.” Adams quickly changed the topic. “Are you here because of the Beast G.o.d Cult?”
The temporary operations team led by Lugh had just been established, and the Southwest Army had already notified all the cities in the Southwest and North, ordering the Guardians to cooperate with the Special Operations Team.
“Yes.”
Lugh nodded and briefly told Adams about what had happened in Nanyu City.
When Adams heard that the Guardian of Nanyu City, Hall, had been a.s.sa.s.sinated, his face was full of anger.
He was the same as Hall, also a Guardian.
Since the Beast G.o.d Cult had dared to a.s.sa.s.sinate Hall, Adams could also become one of the targets of the Beast G.o.d Cult.
However, he soon noticed some other details.
He leaned forward and stared at Lugh seriously. “So, Captain Lugh suppressed Nanyu City in one day and found out all the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult who were hiding in Nanyu City?”
Lugh smiled. “I’m good at catching rats.”
Turner interrupted, “Adams, Captain Lugh has the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly that can quickly crack the memories. All the memories are sealed and are ineffective against the Captain’s Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly. As long as we catch one member of the Beast G.o.d Cult, we will be able to find a breakthrough.”
“Hiss!”
A trace of shock appeared on Adams’ cold face.
Sealing the memories was something that only Platinum-level and Star Glory-level spirit-type pets could do.
Modifying the memories was extremely difficult. The vast majority of King-level spirit-type pets could not do it.
As a former member of the emergency team, he naturally knew how difficult it was to decipher the memories.
It was an extremely complicated and time-consuming task.
Usually, only the enemy’s higher-ups had the right to decipher the memories.
Decipher the memories would be of great help in tracking down some illegal organizations.
If Lugh really had a pet that could quickly decipher the memories, then he would be a powerful threat to any organization.
Lugh immediately said, “Guardian Adams, can you tell us about the situation in Stone City?”
He was very pressed for time. If he could complete the mission quickly, he could obtain a perfect evaluation and obtain the most powerful area-of-effect buffs.
The time left for the Southwest Army was also very tight.
For the sake of the stability of the entire Southwest Region, in order to prevent the civilians from being bewitched by the Beast G.o.d Cult, the extermination of the hidden members of the Beast G.o.d Cult was also imminent.
“The situation in Stone City is very strange. I’ve also sent people to investigate the traces of the Beast G.o.d Cult, but the results aren’t ideal. In fact, it’s even a little strange.”
Lugh asked curiously, “Why not?”
“We did find a few members of the Beast G.o.d Cult hiding in Stone City to spread their teachings, but they’re all at the bottom of the Beast G.o.d Cult. The strongest one is only a Silver-tier Beast Master.”
Adams continued, “I feel that as one of the important transportation hubs connecting the Southwest and the West, Stone City definitely has more than just a few members of the Beast G.o.d Cult hiding. At the very least, Stone City should be an important transit point for them.”
