Listening to his subordinates' reports, Calvin sat behind the desk, his head propped up in one hand, and his brilliant brain was thinking about something.

That's the latest news about the Fourth Praetorian Guard, and I heard that the commander of the Fourth Praetorian Guard smashed his office in a fit of rage, because after all this time, not only has the problem of the big bugs not been solved, but the problem of demon sacrifice still exists.

Lately, Calvin had heard a lot about how many Mind Flayer Heads the Fourth Praetorian had chopped off, which was a good entertainment in the eyes of the nobles, at least every week to entertain themselves - as long as they didn't care how many people died behind it, they could be happy.

The commander of the Fourth Praetorian Guard, who originally thought that he would not have to bother with this, was greatly disgraced, and finally made up his mind to devote the entire army of troops to the operation to exterminate the Mind Snatcher.

But even so, after all this time, according to statistics, there are hundreds of Mind Flayers who have been decapitated, and those octopus heads are still active throughout the empire - yes, they have gradually spread to the entire empire.

There were almost no demonic sacrifices around the Imperial Capital, but similar incidents continued to occur.

Now it seems that it has entered a period of demons dancing wildly, in addition to those mind snatchers, other demon believers and evil god believers are also active, if it weren't for the fact that the plague god just died some time ago, it is estimated that there will be a plague spreading within the empire.

The entire empire was in turmoil, but Calvin didn't know why.

What happened in the underworld - because the Fourth Praetorian Guard had devoted all its forces to the event of exterminating the demon sacrifice, the task of sending people to investigate fell to the Second Praetorian Guard.

The Third Praetorian Guard was composed of the children of the nobility, and in general it was used for gilding, and no one thought that those delicate young men could have any decent combat power, so they were usually used to guard the imperial capital, and the task of guarding the palace had always been carried out by the First Praetorian Guard.

"It's a bit of trouble......" Calvin muttered with a frown.

Now these things can not only be described as 'somewhat troublesome', but if not handled well, they can even shake His Majesty's rule.

But at such times, they can't help much, the manufacturing department can't help at all except continue to bury itself in the construction of railways, and the R&D department can't help at all except continue to develop new weapons and equipment.

There are many ordinary people in the manufacturing department and the R&D department, they are not even professionals, just like Gregory, he has only practiced a few swordsmanship, after becoming the head of the manufacturing department, because of his busy affairs, he has long abandoned his swordsmanship training, except for being able to ensure that he has a strong body, Grigory has nothing.

If you want to solve this problem, you need 'force', but they don't have it!

They have already provided what they can provide, just as some legions have begun to equip themselves with 'infantry guns', and they can only provide this level of help.

When his subordinates left the office, Calvin sat in his chair and scratched his cheeks, but it wasn't long before there was another knock on the office door.

He looked up in surprise, he must have ordered the subordinate to tell the others not to bother him if there was nothing urgent, so who was outside the door now?

"It's me. Gregory's voice sounded outside the door.

Calvin was slightly stunned, "...... Please come in!"

"What are you doing here with me at this time?"

Gregory had just pushed the door open and walked in, and as soon as he closed it, he heard Calvin's words.

He glanced at Calvin, took off his coat, hung the somewhat damp coat on the back of his chair, and sat down across from Calvin.

As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to speak: "I got news from the Duchy of Sorrow that I heard that a drow spirit has appeared in Wende City...... No, I should say 'settle', because by the time our agents found out, the drow elves had already shown familiarity with the city. ”

Hearing this, Calvin was dumbfounded.

Gregory's words echoed in his mind, and it was no wonder that he had a different look of eagerness than before.

At the same time, there is also a sentence in his mind: 'Blessings are incomparable, and disasters do not go alone' - this is something he saw from a book published by the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, and this sentence does have some truth.

It's like now!

"I've just received the news, and I believe that someone from the Intelligence Bureau should have passed the news to the Second Praetorian Guard and the Fourth Praetorian Guard. ”

As he spoke, Gregory took a breath, "Something has gone wrong in the Dark Regions, and now we may not be dealing with 'some individuals' that have escaped from the ground, but all the large insects and mind slayers, as well as the drow elves who still don't know where they are!"

After Gregory told Calvin all the information he had just learned, it was difficult for Calvin to calm down immediately, even though Calvin was a mage.

The news that Gregory brought to her was so shocking that he thought that the Mind Flayer had driven the big bugs to the surface and attracted their attention, but he didn't expect that there was a possibility that 'something was wrong with the whole dark region'.

Gregory's words are not groundless, and they are only speculations, but such speculations are more in line with the facts.

This is the only way to explain why those big bugs came to the surface and gave birth to a large litter of cubs on the surface, apparently wanting to live on the surface permanently.

They can't adapt to the surface environment at all, but they still thrive here......

“...... What about the rest of the Empire?" Calvin asked nervously, "Is there any news coming?"

It's not that where there is a Mind Flayer, there are large insects, but they have to be in the same place, they are all refugees!

This explanation makes more sense, and while they don't know what is really going on in the Dark Regions yet, they have to imagine what kind of bad situation that would lead to them.

The Underground dwellers are not weak, they are not chickens to be slaughtered, and their presence anywhere in the continent of Sloh can cause problems for the Empire.

"Wait, what about Mendez?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Calvin finally realized this matter, "Isn't there a Mind Flayer on the Mendez Continent?"

"No, there are also 'demon sacrifices' incidents there, and they happen frequently, but we couldn't connect the two events in the first place, because the Mendez continent has always been chaotic......" Gregory's brow furrowed, "but obviously, it's not an isolated thing!"

"Then have any scholars of demonology ever explored the scene of the demon sacrifice?" Calvin realized that this was a stupid question, he should have thought of it a long time ago!

"Those Mind Flayers tried to confuse us and target other Abyss Lords - we were indeed misled, and it was only recently that we discovered that those demon sacrifices were all targeted by the same Abyss Lord!"

Grigori paused, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Its name is 'Estem Lange Rorotta', the lord of the [Psychic Prison], a Mind Snatcher!"

"Yes, it's not a pure-blooded demon, it's a mind snatcher!"

"We don't know why it's collecting so many souls all of a sudden, but it's certain that it's going to do something recently, so we're on the lookout, and some of the experiments need to be put into production as soon as possible, and we're running out of time!"

"That's what I'm going to say to you, Calvin - remember, as soon as possible! There's been some movement in the Black Forest in the south lately, and we don't have much time!" (https:)
