Chapter 207 97: Wolfsbane (5k)
“I think you have solved those three extraordinarys.”
A manor near Edmonton, that is Sambor temporary accommodation.
He doesn't like living in the city. The birdsong in the farm fields makes him feel more relaxed.
In the living room, the masked man sitting grandly on the sofa turned to look at Thunberg who entered the room, and guessed confidently.
Thornburg was silent for a few seconds: "They ran away."
"Run away? It seems that there was an accident." The masked man's subtle movements seemed to show some surprise.
"There is a Chaoren named Jayden inside. His strength does not match the information you provided. He is very strong." To be honest, because of this omission, he felt that the masked man's credibility had increased slightly.
"Oh, then how did you escape unscathed?" The masked man didn't seem to feel any guilt.
“He doesn’t know why, but he has no intention of killing him.”
Sandberg recalled the situation at that time. The man had already glanced at him and clearly recognized him, but he still gave up his plan to kill him and chose to cover the retreat for his teammates.
What’s even weirder is that just after arriving near the suburbs, another extraordinary man named Jacob handed the injured person to Jayden, and even though he was injured, he also killed the werewolf he sent to chase after him. He retreated, and according to the people who came back, Jayden was watching from the side.
In short, the behavior of these two people is very inexplicable, or is there a conflict between them?
The masked man nodded: "No one can know everything, right? Assuming that he is deliberately hiding it, even if I am well-informed, I have no way of knowing. I only provide superficial information. I told you this in advance. , I hope you can abide by the agreement."
"Yes, if my people find any trace of the Black Angel, I will notify you as soon as possible." Thornburg did not default on the debt. This was the masked person in advance. I talked about the reward for providing information.
"Wise decisions and credit are the basis of cooperation." The masked man leaned back on the sofa with satisfaction.
"Why do you think Jayden hides his abilities?"
"If you need it, I can help you investigate, as long as you are willing to pay." The masked man doesn't actually need any reward, but It does not prevent him from pretending to be necessary to add bricks and tiles to his plan, "If the reward is enough, I can even make those transcendent enemies against each other."
"I can also see the difference between them. It seems that the contradiction is not shallow.”
“But you can’t instigate their contradictions to expand, can you?”
"Are you sure you can do it?"
"I don't sell goods that I don't have or empty promises."
Tornberg didn't accept this, he didn't fully believe the masked man.
“You said before that killing the commander-in-chief is the most effective way to break the current situation of the natural kingdom. Don’t you think this will arouse the resistance of their citizens?”
His worries are not unreasonable. No matter how you look at it, the assassination of a leader is trampling on the dignity of the country. Anyone who has a little sense of identity will be angry.
The masked man seemed to be sneering silently: "You don't understand Ami, and you don't understand the mouthpiece."
"The first step is to announce to the outside world the tragedy that happened today, condemn the commander-in-chief who insists on his own way, and express that you have always been I want to seek peace and bring health and longevity to everyone, but I have been blocked by the commander many times."
"The second step is that the Prime Minister of Maple Kingdom is in your hands and will be reorganized under your control. The Fengguo government is willing to start peace talks with him, return most of the land, and retain only part of the autonomy. Anyway, you are definitely not naive about establishing a country, but you are just thinking about a compromise in the negotiations."
"Chapter. The third step is to contact the family members behind Ami. They are the actual rulers, but you don’t need their help. You only need them to stand by and watch. Whoever wins will help. Health and longevity are your best bargaining chips. Even if they have concerns, they will not refuse your presence in the world and provide them with a layer of insurance."
"Finally, if you still feel that it is not enough, you can entrust me to make the cooperation between Ami and Mei Chaofan fall apart. And you just need to let the commander 'accidentally die'."
"Believe me, countless people will jump out to wipe your butt. Profit is eternal. Don't think of the position of commander-in-chief as too sacred."
Tornberg stared at him for a long time: "You seem to be very active on this matter."
"Yes, because I can also benefit from this." The masked man said calmly.
"Are you one of those families?" Thornburg continued to ask.
The masked man didn’t answer and looked at him quietly.
"I hope everything goes as smoothly as you said, so what reward do you need?"
"Give me some obedient werewolves, I may need their help then."
Sang Berg did not bargain. Compared with the benefits that the other party could bring, he thought the price was acceptable, even lower than his psychological expectations.
"The commander-in-chief will launch a full-scale war soon. I wish you good luck and hope our cooperation can be long-lasting."
The masked man said goodbye, and the whole figure seemed to melt into a puddle. The mercury-like substance slowly seeped into the ground.
Thunberg walked around the room a few times and then left.
“Go to the ‘House of Souls’.”
That was Augustus’ experimental place.
In Japan, Ricky's face suddenly turned red in the base, and then he coughed violently. He covered it with the handkerchief he had prepared earlier to block the blood he coughed up.
“Sure enough, it’s still a bit reluctant.”
The injury that Kyoko Shirai caused to him not long ago has not yet healed. If the time had not come, he would not have arranged for the puppet to go to such a far place. This would be acceptable to him at ordinary times, but it would be very difficult if he was injured. .
"Despite the accident of the Black Angel, the weather is still on my side. The next step is the favorable location."
Ricky's eyes moved towards the exquisite building symbolizing power on the table. Pick up the model gently and look at it carefully over and over again.
He raised his head and looked straight at the west wing of the building. Through the window, he seemed to see the Oval Office inside.
The White Palace.
Inside the Oval Office.
The commander-in-chief has just learned that the mission failed.
“Not surprising, the best news is that no one has been damaged. Those blood-sucking bugs have already infiltrated the country into holes. Even the words I say now may appear in their eyes later. On the desk. Worse still, he may have been listening to my words and starting to comment." The commander raised his head and glanced at William who was standing opposite, looking at his nose and heart, as if he was thinking seriously about something important. , waved his hand, "I'm not talking about you."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your trust." William thanked him formally.
The commander-in-chief has long been accustomed to William's caution.
"The news mentioned that both Norton and Jacob were seriously injured, and only Jayden was almost intact," the commander-in-chief pointed out.
"I think this is just a coincidence. Jayden will not do anything to betray him." William's speech was consistent with his identity.
Reluctantly speaking, he and Jayden should be considered former colleagues. They have dealt with each other a few times, and they should avoid suspicion. However, he knows that the commander-in-chief may not be really suspicious, but just so. A little doubt.
"I didn't say he betrayed, but...maybe he was a little careful." The commander touched the drawer. The extraordinary report there showed that Jayden had expressed his feelings for him on some occasions. I was dissatisfied. Later, after following Ricky, I seemed to have corrected my evil ways and no longer showed it.
Are you really no longer dissatisfied, or are you smart enough to keep your mouth shut?
It was also this report that made him not consider placing Jayden alone by his side, and instead reuse Jacob, who couldn't deal with him.
Ability is important, but in the eyes of those in power, loyalty always comes first.
Currently, he still has to choose. After a few terms as commander-in-chief, he doubts that he will even be qualified to choose.
“Do you also think I’m suspicious?” the commander laughed at himself.
"Proving one's loyalty is a compulsory course for us as subordinates. In the position of commander-in-chief, there are too many things to consider, and we cannot always consider them all." William's words came from the sincerity, even if it sounded like It's weird, like praising workers who work overtime for free.
"Hahaha, you kid, I finally understand why Ricky values you so much." The commander laughed a few times, delighted by this point of view.
“Speaking from the bottom of my heart.” William added seriously.
“Yes, that’s right, this is the serious one.” The commander-in-chief laughed for a while, then coughed a few times and regained his image, “Ahem, you go ahead and call Jamie in for me.”
Walk out of the Oval Office, William said to Jamie who was sitting at the door, and then walked towards his office.
His palms were already wet.
After integrating all the currently known information, he made some vague and bold guesses about Ricky's plan, but the direction was so terrifying that even he couldn't accept it, let alone talk nonsense.
"Probably not." He returned to his seat, wiped the sweat from his palms, and whispered to himself, thinking about Lieutenant General Ricky's low-key and decisive style.
The next day.
On behalf of the Natural Kingdom, Thornburgh issued a vision of peace to the world, saying that he had never used war to force the Maple Kingdom. It was the voice of the people that established the Natural Kingdom. They were to bring more diversity to the world. Color, opening up a new era of extraordinary things, and working hard to help most people get rid of pain.
But Commander Ami brutally launched a beheading operation against them, and also injured a large number of civilians (video attached). He was simply an unforgivable executioner and had committed war crimes in the natural kingdom.
Thornburgh listed him as a war criminal and issued a wanted order, announcing that whoever could arrest him and bring him to justice would have eternal life for his family.
This news made the commander-in-chief so angry that he almost had a stroke. He accelerated the arrangements for the army and made the media begin to refute it point by point. However, for some reason, the popularity did not seem to be as high as he imagined.
Subsequently, Thunberg stood up and said that he had found Prime Minister Maple and returned most of the land to him so that he could re-form a government. He called on officials abroad to return as soon as possible and urged Aramco to withdraw unconditionally as soon as possible. When you leave the territory of Maple Kingdom, don't think about occupying the magpie's nest.
It’s just that the leadership team of Maple Country in exile in Amei was confused. Ah, now, in the blink of an eye, I became a rebel? !
How can this work!
He must be manipulated! We are the orthodox!
But a large number of families who originally jumped to the Natural Kingdom jumped back to the Maple Kingdom again, including the main force of the Maple Kingdom.
The commander-in-chief was already calm, as if he was watching a joke.
He will let the other side know that in this world, force has the final say.
One week later.
Amedou's army marched together, adopting an encroaching posture, and pushed forward steadily regardless of the opposition of "Maple Country". Every time they entered a place, they would forcibly seize control, use all their strength to clear out any werewolves that might be hiding in the place, and screen all the people. What's just puzzling is that the Wolf Lord seems to have completely given up resistance. There is no werewolf in the occupied town. It seems that he has already retreated and truly returned the town to Maple Country.
The army moved effortlessly and did not encounter any large-scale resistance at all. This actually made the commander murmur in his heart, for fear of any conspiracy on the other side, so he advanced more cautiously and step by step.
It wasn’t until a few days later that the controlled town finally caught its first werewolf.
"No, I'm really not a werewolf! I haven't even seen a werewolf with my own eyes!"
"Stop quibbling! Look at yourself in the mirror!"
In a house in a residential area, several soldiers held firearms and nervously aimed at the man who was already tightly entangled in the capture net and was not stopping. The man who complained that he was wronged waved his hands to the frightened family members of the man to step aside and not to stop them from catching the werewolf.
The man looked at the black muzzle of the gun, then at the family members who were retreating with their children in their arms, and slowly turned his head to look at the window in disbelief.
A very unfamiliar face covered with gray fluff, like a special mask, appeared in front of him. Even the mouth was slightly raised forward.
He tried to stretch out his hand and pull it, but it hurt, and even gray hairs grew on the back of his hand.
Impossible, impossible, obviously he didn't have any at all
"Ouch——"
Out of the window, a wolf howled suddenly, and the sound reached his ears.
Flesh, hunting
It seemed like a string was broken in his mind.
"Ouch!" He also suddenly began to cry, struggling more and more fiercely, staring at the soldiers in front of him with bloodthirsty eyes, biting the strong rope of the net.
"There are others outside?" The team leader frowned, "Thomas will take someone to take a look."
"Yes!"
A soldier walked out and led the guards outside The two people who were waiting followed the sound and looked for it.
The captain, who also has children at home, saw the mother and son hugging each other and crying. He felt compassion. He came slightly closer, squatted down, touched the head of the boy who was holding his mother and seemed to be hiding his face and crying, and comforted him. : "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
The boy shuddered and slowly turned his head.
The captain's eyes suddenly widened.
He saw a gray and furry face!
This boy is also a werewolf!
“Howl!”
The boy scratched the captain's wrist and rushed towards him crazily.
"What the hell!" He kicked the child away.
"Howl!!" Even the mother pounced on her.
Pfft!
The net gun of the teammate behind him was fired in time, and the impact took the mother and son away and tied them up.
As soon as he was helped up by his teammates, before the captain could take a breath, Thomas's screams came from the headphones.
"Captain! Werewolves! So many werewolves! Those residents are all wolves - ah!"
They didn't even need headphones to hear the screams.
A few people looked at each other, feeling something bad in their hearts.
Outside, gunshots began to ring out, probably from other teams.
Immediately afterwards, there were more and more screams.
“Go back to the military camp!”
The captain made a prompt decision and rushed out with his team members.
At this time, the dark streets were covered with green eyes, like a group of fireflies.
They seemed to smell fresh flesh and blood, roaring like zombies.
"Free fire!"
Throwing down the net gun and drawing out the assault rifle, the team opened fire on the incoming werewolves.
It’s just that the other side seems to be unafraid of death. As long as they are not dead, they can attack them.
“Ah!”
“Don’t pester me, hurry up.”
After finally getting into the car, another team member was grabbed tightly by his calf, causing blood stains.
Thud, tug, tug!
The captain pulled him into the car and kept urging: "Drive! Drive quickly!"
Feng!
The screeching sound of tire friction and the roar of the engine played in harmony. This light infantry vehicle sped out. Driven by its powerful horsepower, it banged into an unknown number of people before it was able to carve out a bloody path.
The windows were covered with blood and the tires seemed to be slipping. The soldier driving the car was driving almost blindly and hurriedly started the windshield wipers.
"Captain, are we going back to the military camp directly?"
"Captain?"
The first officer turned around and saw the captain's face that had grown gray fur at some point. Staring at him with saliva, he was suddenly frightened out of his wits.
“Howl!”
The captain pounced.
“Ah——”
Zizzi——Bang!
The car hit a wall, the inside kept undulating, and then slowly subsided.
Within a few minutes, several werewolves came out of the car, sniffed their noses, howled a few times, and ran on all fours in the direction of the military camp.
There, gunshots were heard continuously.
". A very scary effect. Is this the 'pharmacy' you call it? Is it really not a biochemical virus that destroys the world?"
On a hill not far from the town, Thornburg put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the partner next to him again.
"Wolfsbane potion is diluted with wolf blood and certain ingredients. It has the advantage of being colorless and odorless. As long as the quantity is sufficient, it will pollute the water source. It is still effective even after passing through water plants and high temperatures. It can also be spread with blood. The disadvantage is that the duration is limited and the number of infections needs to reach a certain level before it will take effect." Augustus did not hesitate to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the medicine.
Extraordinary Pharmacy is a mysterious new branch that he discovered from divine grace.
It's just that this knowledge relies too much on extraordinary items, creatures and a lot of experiments. The current Wolfsbane Potion 1.0 is the latest and only result.
"Ami secretly captured werewolves and conducted cruel experiments, causing the biochemical strain to leak and infect the entire town's residents." Thornburg considered the words, "What do you think of this title?"
" I think there will be many people who believe it.” Augustus admitted that he couldn’t help but want to click on the title, “So where should I choose the next town?”
Tornberg? He shook his head silently.
“A small town may not be enough to scare the people of Feng Country, let alone the people of Ami.”
"The Wolf Lord knows about this, and he doesn't agree to continue." Thornburg looked a little lonely in the distance.
After hearing this, he was stunned. For some reason, Augustus wanted to laugh and burst into laughter.
Two humans are thinking of ways to kill the same kind, but the wolf, which is obviously a different kind, wants to stop them.
“What an interesting material.” Augustus said in a voice that only he could hear.
The gunfire in the military camp gradually subsided.
After all, flesh and blood cannot withstand guns and bullets.
But the commander of the military camp looked extremely ugly.
All the corpses, those wolf characteristics, completely disappeared with their death.
In the shadows where they cannot see, several night cameras faithfully record everything.
When the news reached the commander-in-chief, it almost appeared together with the news.
Thornburg immediately issued a clarification that they do not have such means. The qualifications given to werewolves are currently limited. After becoming a werewolf, they will not behave so completely irrationally. He also revealed that a large number of werewolves are currently being captured by Ami. news, hinting that it might be Ami's fault.
Groups of protests have appeared in some Maple Kingdom cities controlled by Ami, fearing to become the next victim.
"It has only been so long that they have come up with such methods. If they are allowed to continue to develop, who has the final say in this world? The war must continue, we have no retreat! Let other countries know this , don’t let the wolf pack’s guns point at us!”
At the meeting, the commander rejected the proposal to cease the war because he was afraid that the other party would use that mysterious method in his own territory.
"Unless my head is no longer in my body, the Wolf Lord must perish!" The commander roared at the table.
The people below looked at each other with twinkling eyes.
