"Let me ask you, have you found an army of pollutants on the Yinlin Mountains?"
"Yes."
After Lin Yi admitted it, the woman's originally calm face turned extremely ugly.
"How many?"
"There are countless people. We were discovered by the army of contaminated bodies just after we arrived. I was the only one in the whole team who escaped."
Lin Yi didn't lie. His background story was indeed like this.
The cardinal's face was very gloomy. At this time, she hoped that Lin Yi was telling lies. If what Lin Yi said was true, then the entire territory would be in huge trouble again.
"Come with me, this matter must open the Sky Temple." The cardinal glanced at Lin Yi and motioned for Lin Yi to follow.
"My name is Steele Daphne, just call me Daphne. Looking at you, you must be from the Sparrow tribe, right?" Daphne led the way while turning her head to look at Lin Yi.
With the passage of time, the four major races on the Red Sky Continent have now evolved into the Winged Race, which is quite similar in appearance to the Yu Race in the void.
Among them, the characteristic of the Three-winged Tribe is that there are three pairs of wings on the back, which look like a gorgeous picture scroll when unfolded.
The hair of the Chiming people is a dazzling fiery red color, making them very recognizable.
The Honghu tribe has very huge chins, a feature that makes them stand out among the crowd.
As for the Sparrow clan, because it has always been in a relatively weak position in the evolutionary process, it has not developed as obvious characteristics as the other three clans.
Their evolved forms are not much different from ordinary humans.
However, the sparrow tribe still has a relatively hidden feature, that is, they have two vestigial wings on their backs.
It's just that the wings of most sparrows have been extremely degraded and are so small that they are almost undetectable if you don't observe them carefully.
After observing Lin Yi, Daphne found that he did not have the characteristics of the Three Wings Tribe, Chiming Tribe and Honghu Tribe, so she naturally concluded that Lin Yi was a member of the Sparrow Clan.
"Yeah." Lin Yi just responded softly and did not refute Daphne's judgment.
In this case, it is easier to make mistakes by talking too much. It is safer to follow the other person's words.
"What are the conditions of the polluters you see outside during this trip?"
"There are a lot of them. In addition to the large army of pollutants that appeared in the Yinlin Mountains, I also encountered a small group of pollutants when I passed through the Kurokawa Forest on my way back. If the current situation continues, Sooner or later, the wall of life will be discovered by those pollutants.”
After hearing what happened to Lin Yi, Daphne's mood hit rock bottom.
As a senior member of the Phoenix Temple, she naturally understands the importance of the Living Wall.
You know, the Kurokawa Forest has always been a key area for cleanup in the territory. The territory attaches great importance to this area. Basically, hundreds of cleanup teams are dispatched every day to go deep into the Kurokawa Forest to clean up those polluters.
Under such high-frequency and large-scale clean-up operations, there are still polluters on such a scale. This can only mean one problem - the number of pollutants in other places is already beyond imagination.
Because of this, the pollutants escaping from other places will continue to march towards the Kurokawa Forest without any awareness.
Under Daphne's guidance, Lin Yi came to a building that looked like a castle.
Two wings made of flames sprouted from Daphne's back and flew towards the room at the top of the castle, as fast as a flaming meteor.
Lin Yi couldn't do it this time. Fortunately, the outer wall of the castle was not flat and smooth, but full of pits and undulations, like a track specially designed for rock climbing.
Lin Yi took a running start and accurately grabbed the raised stones on the edge of the city wall.
With his agility, Lin Yi followed Daphne several times and finally successfully entered the room.
When Daphne landed, she noticed that Lin Yi did not fly up, but climbed up along the wall.
"I'm really sorry. I was negligent and forgot that most of your sparrow clan's flying abilities have deteriorated. I should have taken you through other channels just now." Daphne said with an apology on her face and a hint of self-blame.
"It's okay, it won't affect you." After spending some time with Daphne, Lin Yi felt more and more that this girl's personality was a typical dull one.
She often gets into trouble because of some small oversights, like just forgetting that the Sparrows' flying ability has deteriorated.
"We're here, please wait a moment. I need to contact other forces." Daphne said as she motioned to Lin Yi to sit down somewhere at will.
Except for meetings on weekdays, basically no one comes to this place.
I saw Daphne walking to a device with red gems in the room and starting to tinker with it.
A few minutes passed, and following Daphne's series of operations, the originally bright room was suddenly quickly obscured by countless thick fogs.
In an instant, Lin Yi felt that his body passed through an invisible barrier and entered a different space.
With such a covert spatial movement, Lin Yi thought that the other party's spatial level was even higher than that of Mei Lin Yi met in the black abyss.
‘Phoenix? ’
Although the origin of these thick fogs was unknown, Lin Yi could clearly feel an extremely violent force from the fog.
Lin Yi speculated that it was most likely that Phoenix created this alien space with its power, in order to facilitate the various forces in the territory to communicate with each other.
"Well, there's a new guy here, welcome."
Directly opposite Lin Yi, a woman from the Three Wings tribe dressed in a costume similar to that of a dancer greeted Lin Yi with a smile on her face.
The three pairs of wings behind her trembled slightly, showing her identity.
To her left, sat a Honghu tribe member dressed as a scholar. She wore a pair of exquisite glasses and her eyes were filled with wisdom.
On the right side of the Honghu tribe is a Sparrow tribe wearing armor.
Counting Daphne, who represents the Chiming Clan and the Phoenix Temple, representatives of the four major races in the Chikong Continent have already appeared in this space.
"What happened, little Daphne."
The representative of the Honghu tribe who spoke was named Butler Theresa.
She has an extraordinary background and is a descendant of her predecessor, King Honghu.
In today's protector territory, she is the leader of the academy, and her position is of great importance.
The construction technology of the Living Wall was provided by Theresa.
With her outstanding knowledge and wisdom, she contributed an indelible force to the protection of the territory.
And the three-winged tribe dressed like a dancer is named Kepeljian.
She is not from a noble family, but she has a very high voice in the Three-Wing Clan.
The reason is very simple. The intelligence organization of the entire territory is in the hands of Kepeljian.
The representative of the Sparrow clan is called Yves Erica. It can be seen from her name that she is a descendant of Queen Erica.
The reason why she can become the representative of the Sparrow tribe is also very simple, that is, her talent is very high, only inferior to Queen Erica back then. As early as the age of twelve, Yves-Erica had no rival among her peers.
Of course, this gift doesn't come without a price.
Along with this, Yves Erica's lifespan burned out at a rate far exceeding that of the average sparrow clan.
According to Theresa's prediction, under normal circumstances, even if the Sparrow tribe sacrifices their own lifespan to gain power, as long as they use it under reasonable control, they can live to be forty or fifty years old.
But Yves Erica is different. Her body is always in a state of sacrifice. Although her powerful talent can alleviate the adverse effects of sacrifice to a certain extent, the consumption every moment has already taken a toll on Yves Erica. Great damage was done to Rika's body.
If this situation continues, Yves Erica's ability to live to the age of thirty is considered a blessing.
"My cleanup team here discovered a bad situation." Daphne's face was very ugly. For her who usually looked confused and stupid, such a serious look was extremely rare.
"You are referring to the army of pollutants that appeared over the Yinlin Mountains, right? Not long ago, I have received relevant information. It seems that the people under your command are not very lucky, and they happened to meet them." Kaipei As the leader of the territorial intelligence organization, Erjin guessed what the other party was going to say as soon as Daphne finished speaking.
In the surrounding area where Daphne is located, the emergency event that allows her to activate the Sky Temple to summon representatives from all parties is currently the only one that seems to be the contaminant army in the Silver Lining Mountains.
"What? How come it's so fast? It hasn't even been three years since the last contaminant army. Why are the contaminants gathering faster and faster now?" Yves Erica's face was very ugly, as The territory's military representative, Yves Erica, is very clear about the territory's military strength.
The last time, in order to repel the incoming polluter army, almost half of the strength of the territory's middle and high-level officials was lost.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
After three years of recuperation, the territory's strength was finally restored to about two-thirds, but now it is facing the dilemma of the polluter army gathering again. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the territory that has not yet fully recovered.
"There is no way. According to my prediction, this situation will only become more frequent in the future." Butler Theresa's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the last trace of luck in everyone's hearts.
"Based on the data collected in recent years, I have noticed that the number of fourth-level pollutants among pollutants has been on a significant upward trend. Although the intelligence of these fourth-level pollutants is not yet comparable to that of fifth-level pollutants, they are already able to issue simple commands. Driving low-level polluters to act.”
"The reason why our territory has encountered more and more frequent pollutant armies in recent years is that the number of fourth-level pollutants around the territory is increasing day by day. Under the summons of these fourth-level pollutants, the pollutants in the surrounding areas will naturally They are constantly coming to our territory. In the future, the area we can control will inevitably be further compressed, and it is very likely to trigger a decisive battle that determines life and death." Teresa finished her speculations in one breath. These speculations did not come from thin air, but were based on Kepe. Based on the detailed intelligence analysis provided by Er Ji En.
As for why the two exceptional fifth-level pollutants were excluded, whether it was Erica or Twain Millie, with their fifth-level pollutants’ strength, there was no need to go to such great lengths if they really wanted to deal with the territory.
As long as they appear on the battlefield, their unique pollution characteristics alone can cause all combatants on their side to be contaminated.
For them, such a roundabout strategy is obviously not in line with their style of doing things.
"So, this is the person who witnessed the army of polluters with his own eyes. I only have one question at the moment. Have you seen the fourth-level polluters among the army of polluters?"
If Erica looked straight at Lin Yi, she had only one goal now. If the fourth-level pollutants were really causing trouble behind these pollutants, then she had to take action herself.
The existence of level four pollutants is like a bomb that may explode at any time to the territory. If not dealt with in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
"You're asking me this question. I had a sudden encounter with an army of pollutants. How could I pay attention to this? However, according to my judgment, there is a high probability that there are level 4 pollutants controlling the army. .”
"Tell me what you think." Kepel Ji'en put his chin on his hands and did not despise Lin Yi's words because he was just the captain of the cleanup team.
As the leader of the territorial intelligence organization, Kepeljian is very aware of the value of intelligence brought by front-line personnel.
The reason why she is able to ensure the security of the territory in all aspects is precisely because she has placed important informants at various key locations in the territory.
Because of this, she was able to obtain information in a timely manner that was related to the survival of the territory.
"The reason is very simple. The whereabouts of the polluting army are so abnormal."
"Abnormal?"
"That's right. Under normal circumstances, low-level pollutants have no autonomous consciousness at all. Unless they detect the breath of a living person, they usually just wander around aimlessly, looking for prey."
"But this time the army of pollutants is different. Although these low-level pollutants seem to be wandering around, their range of activities is limited to a certain area. This is why our team will suddenly encounter pollution without any precautions. The reason for the huge army.”
"According to the normal rules of action, with such large-scale pollutant activities, a small amount of pollutants will inevitably spread and wander from the direction of the Yinlin Mountains. In this case, we will definitely take preventive measures in advance. But this is not the case this time , they have been squatting near the boundary between the Yinlin Mountains and the Kurokawa Forest. It was not until our team broke in and encountered most of the pollutants that they attacked us according to their instincts."
"This abnormal behavior shows that there is most likely someone behind them. It is impossible for those low-level pollutants themselves to have such high intelligence and be able to take such actions."
After listening to what Lin Yi said, the others nodded and agreed with his point of view.
"It seems that this beheading operation is inevitable." Kepeljian looked solemn and said nothing more.
Lin Yi's analysis can basically conclude that there are fourth-level pollutants in the Yinlin Mountains, but the specific number is unknown. In this case, her intelligence organization will need to conduct in-depth investigations.
Even though Keppel Jean knew that this mission would cost her intelligence organization a heavy price, she had no choice but to keep the territory safe.
Once the opponent's army of pollutants really moves towards the Wall of Life, the consequences will be disastrous.
The living wall is an important line of defense for the territory against pollutants. Once it is breached, the residents in the territory will face great danger.
"I have recently developed some new drugs, and this mission should be able to help you." Theresa knew that she was not a martial artist, so naturally she would not go into battle for this kind of thing.
However, as a logistics staff member, Teresa will do all the logistical work.
"Just let me know when you find it." After saying this, Yves Erica's figure disappeared into the mist.
Among the four, Yves Erica talks the least, but shoulders the most arduous task.
Among the four people, she is the only one with the highest combat power. Facing the fourth-level contamination that may be hidden in the Yinlin Mountains, only she can be more confident in killing it successfully.
As for why the top leaders in the territory are all women, the reason is very simple. The previous battles have wiped out all the men in the territory.
Now the ratio of men to women in the territory has reached 1:10. In this case, women naturally have to step up and take the lead.
"Daphne, don't let this guy go outside the Wall of Life now. You'll have to rely on him to lead the way." Kepeljian looked at Daphne and said.
Daphne nodded after hearing Keppel Jean's words. Lin Yi was the one who knew the most about the pollutant army in the Silver Lin Mountains. When Erica arrived at the Wall of Living Things, she would naturally need Lin Yi to help her. Her husband Erica leads the way.
"Okay, everyone, please keep this matter quiet for now. Don't affect the morale of the territory. Daphne, you have to watch your own people closely." Theresa sighed, and started to prepare for arranging manpower, thinking Methods to divert the attention of civilians in the territory.
If civilians were to learn that an army of contaminants was once again approaching the city, it would most likely trigger panic and riots, and the situation would be difficult to deal with.
In this troubled period, people's emotions are already fragile, and the slightest disturbance may trigger a huge chain reaction.
The territory is not monolithic. In addition to the Phoenix Temple, there are also forces that believe in the Lord of Pollution.
This group of people promotes an extreme concept. They feel that the world is on the verge of extinction. Instead of struggling, it is better to voluntarily fall into the realm of pollution, claiming that not only can they retain a trace of sanity in the apocalypse, but they can also reunite with their deceased relatives and friends.
This rhetoric was extremely deceptive to many weak-willed civilians, and many people were incited by it to join the ranks of those who believed in the Lord of Pollution, causing a lot of turmoil and chaos in the territory.
In fact, it is extremely difficult to retain consciousness under the pollution of the Lord of Pollution. There are very few successful believers, almost no one in a hundred.
In the end, Phoenix took action to deal with the believers of the Lord of Pollution in the territory and successfully stopped the riot.
But unfortunately, the main leader of the Lord of Pollution successfully escaped from the territory and hid on the outside of the Wall of Life.
In view of their previous behavior and consistent stance, it is very likely that there is covert intervention by followers of the Lord of Pollution behind this operation.
"Then, see you next time." Keppel Jean waved his hand, and the fog surrounding Lin Yi and Daphne began to dissipate like an ebbing tide.
"Don't leave here for the time being. I will arrange for someone to bring it to you for meals and other things." Daphne looked at Lin Yi, with a hint of nervousness as she spoke.
This is Daphne's true character. When discussing the matter of the polluted body army just now, her mind was completely occupied by the matter of the polluted body army, so that she did not show this trait. (End of chapter)
