709 Bad News 1

When Raymond followed Gatsby to the door of the conference room, a thin figure in a white wizard robe with his back to the door in the center of the conference room was giving a briefing.

"...The situation is roughly like this. The expeditionary army led by the Fire Nightmare King was blocked in the gap between the planes and could not move. Even King Fire Nightmare is not sure whether he can return smoothly..."

In this conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people, there are only a dozen people behind the circular conference table in the center, and none of the people Raymond could see looked very happy.

In the rectangular conference room, there are many spell lamps hanging on the walls, illuminating the entire conference room very transparently, but no one paid attention to Gatsby and others who appeared at the door.

And the silver-haired wizard with his back to the door turned around after saying this, raised his hand to Gatsby with a tired face, and beckoned him to come over.

Gatsby, whose expression became serious, lowered his voice to explain before walking towards the rostrum. "You find a place to sit, but now you can only listen, not speak!"

"This is Lord Gatsby. Even if you haven't seen it before, you should be no stranger. If you have any questions, just ask!"

After casually calling out Gatsby's name, the wizard with long silver hair walked over from the rostrum, greeted Gatsby in the aisle, and dragged Gatsby to sit in the circular hall together. conference area.

The dull atmosphere lingering in the conference room made little Sally unwilling to stay here. She glanced at the situation inside and dragged the porcelain girl Anita to sit down on the bench outside the conference room, while Xing Yan The dog Andrew dutifully accompanied him.

Taylor, the taciturn rock monster, followed up the conference room, found a dark corner, sat there and closed his eyes. As if asleep.

And the red-faced man Radith, who was imprisoned into a ball-shaped lava giant, took Raymond and sat down near the door, looking around but with a very serious expression.

After a quick glance, he noticed the strength of the participants in the conference room, so Lei Meng, who sat down, was surprised but began to listen carefully.

"With the strength of the Fire Nightmare King, even the vertical-eyed creatures can't break through the defense line, so if the goal of the vertical-eyed group is to occupy the entire northern border, it should only be a matter of time..."

"Hurricane Yan City has never been attacked, so it's not a big problem to be stationed here..."

"Master Dirges, what is the alliance's opinion? We old guys are not here to be cannon fodder..."

There was a moment of silence. Questions and inquiries erupted in the meeting room, but most of the people sitting in the circular meeting area remained silent.

"The alliance has sent people to the southern border. The truce between the north and the south needs to be agreed first," Dirges, who was sitting next to Gatsby, hesitated before speaking. "It's just that the origins of these vertical-eyed creatures have not been obtained until now. This is the most troublesome problem for the alliance!"

Did not directly answer the questions of several people. The person who asked the question was a little dissatisfied, but Dirges frowned with a tired expression. Fingers tapped on the table. "Hurricane City is not a place of death. So everyone should relax! The number of disaster lords from all walks of life who will come here will increase significantly, so the first thing to ensure is the stability of Hurricane City, otherwise the alliance meeting will be held again , those left-behind personnel of King Fire Nightmare are about to attack!"

Raymond, who was sitting at the door, didn't quite understand the meaning, but after Dirges finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and even Gatsby, who was sitting next to him, had a thoughtful expression.

after a long time. A burly guy stood up. "Master Dirges, if this is the case, then I will leave first. The stability of Hurricane City should not be a problem. If the subordinates of King Fire Nightmare make trouble. How do you think the scale should be handled?"

"His subordinates will make trouble, don't you? This opportunity is extremely rare. Even if the vertical eyes occupy most of the northern border, everyone's rights should still be guaranteed..."

Dilges' inexplicable reply made these people here seem to be relieved, and the dull atmosphere was relieved in vain, but no one spoke again, but stood up one after another to salute Dilges, Then leave directly.

Soon, only Dilgos and those who had just followed Gatsby were left in the conference room.

Seeing that all the participants had left, Dilgos, whose tired expression disappeared immediately, spoke to Gatsby. "The leader of the lava giant, Gusli, is very angry. He will come here two days later to ask for someone. You not only captured his son, but also humiliated him like this. How are you going to deal with it?" "

"You should know what happened. It didn't go out on the spot because you were here," Gatsby yelled with a smile on his face, as if he was very familiar with Dirges. . "That old guy Gusli has dozens of sons, it's not a big deal to have a few less!"

"Nonsense! The one you caught was cultivated by him as his successor. If you are really wiped out, he might be desperate!"

"Impossible! Gasri is not stupid, besides, I have already given him the patriarch of the giant blue crystal python. I want to compensate him. He knows who to go to. If he really dares to trouble the old man, I will arrest him again. The sons are back!"

Gatsby's tough statement made Dirges smile wryly, and waved at the red-faced big man Radith who was sitting at the door. "Close the door, there are some images you can take a look at, this time is really troublesome!"

Standing up, the big red-faced man Radith bowed and saluted, and after closing the door, motioned for Raymond to follow him, while Taylor, the rock monster sitting in the corner who seemed to be sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes He stood up, followed behind to the circular area in the center of the meeting room, and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Gatsby introduced him casually with a smile on his face. "Radis and Taylor are familiar to you, and this little guy came from the fairy world to collect the essence of the people of ashes. I brought him here because he saved little Sally."

"I've seen it a long time ago. If I hadn't come with you, the passage guards would have captured him a long time ago. Could it be that your nephew still doesn't give up?"

Dirges' joke made Gatsby's old face darken, and he roared immediately. "If it wasn't for you, this little bastard, Alheim, would have already cleaned it up. Why did he almost catch my granddaughter!"

Ignoring Gatsby's roar, Dirges, who had a teasing smile on his face, began to mock without mercy. "Alheim has long been taken under the command of the Fire Nightmare King. Are you confident that you can resist the Fire Nightmare King's censure if you act first? Or do you mean you have already advanced?"

"I, I, I!" Gatsby, who blushed and had a thick neck, wanted to be tough but gave up in the end, finally muttered in frustration. "Of course I can't stand it..."

Dirges, who laughed out loud, didn't continue to joke, but felt relieved. "Okay, okay! Since Alheim did it before the expedition this time, even if he can return to the nightmare world, the King of Fire Nightmare will not protect him anymore, you just have to wait, anyway, this time his Behavior is also an excellent excuse, and a problem that has plagued you for years should be solved!"

"Hey, don't mention these family matters! I just rushed here, if there is anything else you need to tell me, just tell me, I still have some things to change, and it will take time to complete a few magic tools!"

"It was just yesterday that the Alliance received the news that King Fire Nightmare was trapped, and the video data sent back was very blurry. The current situation is even more pessimistic than the previous guess. Let's take a look together!"

While speaking, Dirges' expression became serious, and as he moved his fingers on the table, a soft light appeared in front of everyone... (to be continued...)
