"Wait, wait, wait......!! You allow me to slow down—" I stopped their discussion and slowly sat down in my chair trying to integrate my thoughts.

"Ahem," I looked up after a moment and smiled a little embarrassedly, "That's... I don't know, can you tell me what's going on? ”

Zorro turned around and handed me the blank paper he had written.

I took the letter suspiciously and opened it, and there were many neatly written notes on it, and each one was followed by a checkmark.

In addition to the few formation materials that the Divine Wind said just now, there are many things that I don't know, materials, equipment, mounts, medicines, involving a wide range and many types.

But I'm still confused and don't understand what it means.

Zorro checked his message, reached out and retrieved the paper from my hand, then picked up his cane and walked outside: "Divine Wind, Desfinne, Mr. Hades has received a message, and now he asks us to go and meet, so I want you to accompany me." ”

The Clown Emperor was also about to step forward, but Zorro gently stopped his movements: "Oh, Clown Emperor, you should stay with your friends, shouldn't you?" ”

The Clown Emperor looked at Zorro, then at me, and understood that Zorro was not taking himself with him to avoid suspicion, so he could only nod and take a step back, watching them go out and leave.

"Bang dang."

The door closed, the flickering candlestick left half an acre of light in the dim room, and the Clown Emperor turned his head to look at me, full of helplessness.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about what's going on." He said, and then slowly sat down in his chair, looking tired after a busy day: "Now the Eternal Continent Alliance led by the [Galaxy Headquarters] and the [Earth Alliance] is invading the Origin Continent on a large scale, you should know about this,...... Although the gangs of the Origin Continent had the intention to resist and defend against foreign enemies, their overall strength was far inferior to that of the Eternal Continent's coalition forces, and if they wanted to resolve this crisis, they would not be able to do it on their own. ”

I understand the reasoning, but I still can't understand what Zorro has to do with this: "So they turned to [Creed Constraints] for help?" It shouldn't be..., let's not say that the [Creed Restriction] rate belongs to the Ancient Continent, and those coalition forces are considered fellow countrymen; Even if you really take money to do things, what waves can you make with these few seedlings? ”

The Clown Emperor gave me a blank look, rubbing his temples with a helpless and painful expression, and that disappointed look had a feeling of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

"You should know that although the [Creed Constraint] is a gang on the Eternal Continent, it is actually a free group that does not belong to any zone, so there is no position or anything; And because of its reputation, it will be hired by many groups or individual players for a lot of money, which is also the main income of the gang. ”

"So, those gangs in the Origin Continent pooled their money to hire you?" I asked.

"It's not us, it's them, and it's not those people from the Origin Continent who hire Zorro, except for the Eternal Continent, there are very few ...... in other continents who know about this organization, just like you, before this incident happened to me, have you heard the name of this gang?" The Clown Emperor was not very happy with my generalized scribing, emphasizing that he and Zorro were separated.

"Well..., it's my fault." I apologized and continued to ask, "Then what are you and Zorro going to do?" That's not just one or two gangs, it's a super large coalition of more than 1 million people! What about hiring you? Could it be that you and Zorro are both gods? One person slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, and then resolved this dispute? ”

"Hehe, I'd like to do this......" Clown Emperor smiled, then stood up and projected a few pictures on the wall, so that I could understand the reason more vividly: "Divine Wind Storm has been active in [Tooth Ghost Mountain] and [Frozen Plains] recently, and the access to these two places is monopolized by [Galaxy Headquarters], and Divine Wind went there to investigate the [Galaxy Headquarters]'s purpose; Yesterday, you encountered the Ghost Slayer God escorting supplies in the territory of the [Galaxy Headquarters], and combined with the clues that Zorro and I had before, it is not difficult to judge that they are plotting to make a large-scale war formation, which is the [Ice Law Rift] just mentioned. ”

After that, a huge dark blue formation was projected on the wall, with some scattered players on the side for comparison, the scale of this formation was huge, and the cast range alone was nearly a hundred meters.

I thought about it for a while, and probably understood the reason why the Clown Emperor and Zorro were investigating this matter: "Do you want to grasp their plan of action and then speculate on the direction of their next action?" ”

"That's right, [Ice Law Rift] is a super large group formation, and it takes 20 people to do it at the same time just to cast and charge the spell, and its power is extremely considerable, but the cost is also very expensive; It's not an exaggeration to say that ordinary towns don't even deserve to use this ultimate formation,...... But now they are not only preparing for these things, but also making a lot of moves, and the initial speculation is that they are preparing for mass production; If you guessed correctly, you should have wanted to gather people to take a main city. ”

"The main city!?" The Clown Emperor's words made me unable to sit still any longer, and I exclaimed in amazement and stared at the formation diagram with wide eyes, completely unable to believe that they actually had such wolf ambitions.

"It's not worth such a big price to make a small fuss," the Clown Emperor turned off the statue and sat down with a serious expression: "These people in the Ancient Continent are not fuel-efficient lamps, they destroyed the Pale Continent market, provoked the forces of the Huaxia Continent, and then marched into the Origin Continent with such fanfare, and the arrogant behavior of no one in their eyes is almost declaring war on the entire game." ”

"Hmm...", I nodded silently, deeply understanding the Clown Emperor's words.

As far as I know, the only person who dared to make such a big move in modern history was a deceased Führer with the surname Xi.

"The Origin Continent has now captured a town, although it is only a drop in the ocean for the entire continent; But the deep meaning is far more than that, having the right to the town territory is equivalent to having a free strategic place for troops, and the ancient alliance can set up camp in the origin continent with peace of mind, and there is no worry about insufficient supplies in the rear; Since the Ancient Coalition Army owned this camp, they have divided their troops into battles, and they have destroyed more than 30 gangs of all sizes in the Origin Continent, and they have attacked many times, and repeated attacks have almost looted the inherent garrisons of those gangs, and the materials have been swept away, completely looking like they are cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots. ”

Although I deeply sympathize with the experience of the Origin Continent, the purpose of my trip is not to be a savior, but to pull back the man in front of me: "So..., what does this have to do with you?" Why are you here? ”

The Clown Emperor looked at me innocently: "I was also commissioned by Zorro to make some windfalls." ”

"Windfall?" I frowned suspiciously: "But when you came, there shouldn't have been this action in the Ancient Continent, right?" Could it be that Zorro was not a prophet? ”

"Zorro doesn't have the skills, and neither do I," the Clown Emperor shook his head, "However, someone has done the Prophet of Unknown, and it has been fulfilled." ”

"Who?"

"Hades."

I was caught off guard by the abrupt answer, and I suddenly felt that things were far more complicated than I thought: "Then you..., told me the reason for your departure before, is it fake?" ”

"No, it's all true," the Clown Emperor looked at me sincerely, and there was no lie in his eyes: "The Demon Slayer did come to recruit Zorro, and Hades did agree to my request to send troops to help after killing Yarosse three times." ”

"And then?"

"Xiaoyu......, don't you don't like to listen to what I say; Although you are now famous, you are in the limelight; But after all, you are still young, lack a lot of social experience, and you don't have a big picture of many things...... He is a brave and resourceful genius," the Clown Emperor stood up, his tone becoming deep, "As the core leader of Olympus, Hades is at a height where he can see a lot of information that we don't know, and he has a keen insight into the market of the Pale Continent, so much so that he deduced a long time ago that these people in the Ancient Continent shook the balance of the Pale Continent in order to collect funds, and the real purpose was actually to prepare for an attack on the Origin Continent or the Huaxia Continent. ”

I hurriedly asked: "Then you mean to say that the last time they killed ghosts and gods, they attacked Haizong, it seemed that it was for personal grudges, but in fact, they wanted to take advantage of us, and then attack the Huaxia Continent in a big way?" ”

The Clown Emperor nodded: "Well, the leader of the [Earth Alliance] Falling God is also an old conspirator, he knows that the water in the Huaxia Continent is very deep now, and Olympus is present, so he is not sure if the forces of the Pale Continent will interfere; And we are their test subjects, with the help of a battle with us, they recognize Huaxia's combat power, and also understand the attitude of Olympus..., otherwise, do you think that a single Yarosse can mobilize such a large number of Olympus people to come? That's just an excuse to the outside world; Therefore, the [Earth Alliance]'s attack on Haizong was a grievance between gangs on the surface, but it was actually a secret statement by the forces of the Ancient Continent and the forces of the Pale Continent. ”

The more I talked, the more confusing it became, and I was dumbfounded, only to realize that I was thinking about things in an extremely naïve and single direction, and I couldn't explain this kind of precautionary measures beyond imagination.

But I still have a lot of questions to understand: "Then ......, even if the Eternal Alliance conquers the Origin Continent, what does it matter to Olympus?" ”

The Clown Emperor denied my doubts: "This is where Hades is known as a wizard, he judged the intentions of the main forces of the Eternal Continent very early, so he had talks with the gang leaders of [Gangaru Divine Curse] and [Dark Legend] in advance, and wanted to cooperate in response to this possible crisis, if they are willing to give up 40% of the economic equity of their gang, Olympus can work together when the crisis comes, at least to ensure that their two gangs are not affected." ”

If it is really as the Clown Emperor said, then Hades is indeed a terrible guy, and he can perceive such a macro trend through a subtle pattern, which is no longer something that a simple wizard can describe, it is simply Wolong in the world.

It's a pity that, judging from the current situation in the Origin Continent, these two self-confident gangs did not take Hades' advice, and they must have repented in their bowels.

"Since you have already regretted it, why don't the [Gangaru Divine Curse] and [Dark Legend] make amends, now hurry up and find Olympus to continue to negotiate the previous cooperation, let alone 40%, let them take out 60% It is estimated that they will be willing to catch up."

The Clown Emperor sighed, and then shook his head: "It's not that simple, if they want to seek protection from Olympus, they must decide before the war starts, if Olympus announces the protection of a certain gang during the war, this is tantamount to picking out the enemy of the ancient alliance, and if they can't save people, they will be burned; But if it was announced that it would shelter a certain gang before the war, and then the Eternal Coalition would have violated the gang again, Olympus would justifiably seek justice and protect the shortcomings, which would make sense. ”

Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, and if the Clown Emperor hadn't told me this today, I would never have known the meaning of this depth.

And now I really understand why Olympus agreed to our request when it upgraded the town.

Because they know what is more important, and they know when to give it up.

[Olympus Nation] is worthy of the name of the strongest gang in "The King", because they have this strength and courage, and their leaders also have extraordinary dominance.

At this point, the battle of the Origin Continent will inevitably start, and at this time, the forces of other continents cannot directly intervene in it, so they can only watch the forces of the Eternal Continent eat up the forces of the Origin Continent and gradually grow.

Everyone understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, once the strength of the Eternal Alliance Army is too great, it is only a matter of time before the war between the Huaxia Continent and the Pale Continent is in the future.

Then, the Clown Emperor let out a sigh of helplessness and sighed sadly: "The reason why I came to [Creed Constraint] after the end of the gang war is that I was entrusted by Zorro to solve this matter together, and the position of deputy gang leader also gave me a reason to get close to Zorro, so that I would not be changed by other gangs; Zorro's price is very high, and after all, I also have to make money to support myself, so I want to do a lot of money to save some money; You should understand the reason for breaking away from Haizong, this kind of investigation work behind enemy lines is all hob work with my head pinned to the waistband of my trousers, and I don't want to implicate Haizong and you, so I have no choice but to leave completely. ”

"Good brother, what are you talking about!" , I patted him on the shoulder, my mood was indescribable, I could only say some beautiful vernacular: "No matter what, Haizong will always be our home!" Surely I can't leave you alone! ”

He smiled reassuringly, then threw my hand away with a look of disgust.

Now it is fully understood that Hades is the one who entrusted Zorro, and Zorro did not publicize the matter on a large scale, so he only found the most trusted Clown Emperor and the Divine Wind brothers and sisters to complete the commission together.

In this way, the appearance of the Divine Wind and Latonilang in the [Frozen Plains] was actually an investigation conducted in the name of team painting.

…… People are doing such a great and arduous task, but I stopped them halfway through and killed them once, and I am really a villain......

After a moment of silence, I turned my face and asked the final question, "So what are your plans now?" What does Hades want to do? ”

The Clown Emperor got up and walked to the door, opened the door and looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no observer, he slowly walked back, and said: "The matter entrusted by Hades to me and Zorro is just a pawn in the overall situation, the purpose is to grasp the direction of the Eternal Alliance, so as to predict their next move; The real big picture is that Olympus wants to intervene in this battle, they have secretly gathered the huge military strength of the Pale Continent, and now they are waiting for the opportunity. ”

"When?"

"The right time, the right time, the right time." As the Clown Emperor spoke, he opened the map of the continent and pointed it to me: "By investigating the recent movements of the Eternal Alliance Army, it can be known that the news of their attack on the main city of the mortal world of the Origin Continent has been confirmed; But the main city is not an ordinary town, it is the location of the city lord with a large number of generals, not to mention the divine beasts sitting in the array, it is not trivial to capture it, and this ...... It's the location; The people of the Origin Continent must have re-negotiated this matter with Hades, otherwise Hades would not have made a big move to prepare for such a huge military force, as for what benefits Olympus can get, I have no way of knowing, but the two continents of Origin and Pale now have the same purpose, which ...... It's people. ”

"...... that day?"

The Clown Emperor picked up his hand and pointed to the sky: "The time of day is a suitable excuse." ”

"Suitable... Excuse?? "The Clown Emperor's words became more and more difficult to understand, and I had no clue after thinking about it for a long time, so I could only shake my head and admit my stupidity.

"Everything has to have a proper reason, and war is no exception," the Clown Emperor just smiled: "I didn't know what good excuse Olympus could have to enter the war, but after investigating for a long time, I realized how big a game of chess Olympus played." ”

He slowly leaned his face closer, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse: "I don't know, do you still remember, that little fat man who jumped from [Yulei Ting] to [Tianxiahui]?" ”

"Little fat man..., you mean! Winch hammer?! ”
