Volume 20 Chapter 74 Unexpected Discovery

"Then what about the Twelve Star Gods? Do I still have to call them here?"

Zeus pondered for a while and then said: "The Twelve Star Gods still have the original plan. After all, you also said that those who attacked you are not from their Twelve Star Gods, so is there any problem with the Twelve Star Gods? Not sure yet. [ ]”

Aphrodite nodded and said: "Then I understand. I will go and notify the twelve star gods to come over."

Zeus used his divine power to sense Aphrodite's position, and it wasn't until she left Mount Olympus that he suddenly jumped up from his seat, roared angrily, and then smashed the room into a mess. . After he finished venting, he tidied up his clothes a little, then called two priests to clean up the room, while he quietly left without knowing his whereabouts.

As for Aphrodite, after leaving Mount Olympus, she went to the Zodiac as originally planned, but this time she still failed to reach the Zodiac and was blocked halfway. Living.

"I knew it would be like this!" Seeing the row of Saints standing in front of her, Aphrodite directly assumed a fighting stance. "Before the battle begins, may I ask a question?"

"If you want to know our origins, then please forgive me for having no comment." said a guy from the group of saints opposite who was wearing a black cloak and a red helmet on his head.

"No, I don't want to know who sent you, because I already know." Aphrodite pointed directly at one of the saints after speaking. "That fool over there, remember to take off the Lord God's badge next time you perform a secret operation."

Hearing Aphrodite's words, the guy pointed opposite him immediately lowered his head and looked at his chest, and then everyone else's eyes also moved there. It's just that they didn't see anything like the guy who lowered his head. However, the next second they all reacted collectively and hurriedly looked up at Aphrodite. Unfortunately, their reaction was still a little slow. When they raised their heads again, what they saw was a red light curtain pressing towards them. Before these people could react, the light curtain had already swept across their bodies, and then the group of guys suddenly froze there collectively.

"What a bunch of trash." Aphrodite retracted her attack stance and walked easily to the middle of the group of people. Then he snapped his fingers, and those guys who had just settled suddenly stood at attention, and then stood in a row with a cheer, just like troops waiting for a review.

Aphrodite walked from one end of the team to the other, looking at the group of people one by one. Then suddenly he stretched out a finger and pointed on the face of one of the guys. Let you answer my question. "

"Yes, my goddess!" the man immediately replied loudly.

Aphrodite nodded, but before she could open her mouth to ask, she suddenly saw a guy in the team with a strange expression. Everyone else stood in a row with expressionless faces, but this guy's expression was as serious as a guard standing guard, and then as if he was gritting his teeth and working hard. Moreover, as his expression changed, the veins on his body appeared. All of them are raised on the surface of the skin. It looks like an earthworm. What's even worse is that this guy's body actually started to become unstable for a while.

Because everyone in this row stood like javelins, but he moved like a fish out of water, so of course Aphrodite noticed him quickly.

Walking up to the guy calmly, Aphrodite looked up and down and found that this was the cloaked man who had answered her before. This guy is obviously the leader of the team, and now it seems that as the leader, this guy is also the strongest in the team.

"I didn't expect you to be able to control your own body. You are such a determined guy." After saying this, Aphrodite suddenly reached out and lightly touched the guy's neck. The moment her fingers touched the guy's skin, a red streak appeared. The light flashed past, and then there was a hole in the guy's neck, and the whole person suddenly fell backwards. After killing that guy, Aphrodite clapped her hands and returned to the previous guy as if she had done something trivial.

Unlike when Aphrodite left, look at this guy now. Although his body was still upright and his expression was still rigid, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his eyes were filled with tears.

Aphrodite looked at this guy and smiled and said: "Don't worry, he won't be lonely. Because you will be on the road with him soon. Well, in order not to keep him waiting too long, let us Speed ​​up the progress. First of all, do you mind telling me who ordered you to come here?"

Although the guy who was asked was full of resistance in his eyes, he still replied loudly: "We accept the order of Hera, the Queen of Heaven."

"Hera?" To be honest, Aphrodite was stunned when she heard this answer.

After being followed that time, Aphrodite already knew that she would be attacked again this time. The current relationship within the Olympus Protoss can be said to be complicated. The building is about to collapse, and people's hearts will naturally not be able to settle down. With the three previous stalkers, it wouldn't be surprising to see more. What's more, Aphrodite was originally ordered to investigate whether the Twelve Star Gods were sincere in joining our Frost Rose Alliance, so she had long expected that the Twelve Star Gods might attack her.

Now Aphrodite and the Twelve Star Gods are like two sets of spies. The Twelve Star Gods have expressed their allegiance to our Frost Rose Alliance, but in fact they have accepted Zeus's assignment. Only they themselves know whether they intend to take advantage of the situation and transfer immediately, or whether they are sincerely loyal to Zeus. On the other side, Aphrodite's situation is similar. The fact that she came back from our Frost Rose Alliance seems a bit strange. Some people suspect that she has something to do with us, and some people think that she is still a member of the Olympus Protoss. Therefore, neither Aphrodite nor the Twelve Star Gods know who the other is serving. In this case, testing and attacking are inevitable.

Precisely because Aphrodite could think of so many people who might prevent her from meeting the Twelve Star Gods, she was not surprised to be intercepted halfway, but the attacker was actually appointed by Hera. This made her a little strange.

It stands to reason that Hera and Zeus should be of the same mind. Of course, this refers to the analysis from the surface relationship. As a member of the Olympus Protoss, Aphrodite certainly knew that the relationship between Zeus and Hera was not very good. Although Hera is the queen of heaven, she is actually jealous. Moreover, Hera is not actually a woman in the traditional sense. The reason why she succumbed to Zeus was, on the one hand, because the atmosphere in the Olympus Protoss was that men had a higher status, and on the other hand, it was also because she could not defeat Zeus, so she became the Queen of Heaven. If it weren't for the factors of atmosphere and strength, Hera might have become the female God King of the Olympus Protoss.

If you think about this fact. It is understandable that Hera would not listen to Zeus and even be a disservice. However, it seemed quite strange to send someone to intercept Aphrodite.

Zeus sent Aphrodite to see the Twelve Star Gods not to ask them for anything, he just felt that he couldn't see through the two parties now. On the one hand, he was somewhat suspicious of Aphrodite, and on the other hand, he also felt that the Twelve Star Gods might have really betrayed her. So now he's completely confused. In order to sort things out as quickly as possible and figure out who betrayed and who didn't, so that he can integrate his strength to deal with the upcoming massive counterattack from our Frost Rose Alliance and the Chaos and Order Gods, he must make a judgment as soon as possible.

Forced by this pressing situation, Zeus finally used a relatively stupid method, which was to send Aphrodite to meet the twelve star gods. Let two teams that may rebel against each other come into contact first. If one of them rebels, when they come into contact. Some unusual reactions will inevitably occur, and Zeus hopes to see from this reaction who is trustworthy and who is not.

To put it simply, Zeus's actions are to clarify the already muddled waters in order to provide guidance for the next step.

As a member of the Olympus Protoss, Queen Hera should not stop such an action even if she has a bad relationship with Zeus, because no matter what she wants to do, it is very important for her to figure out the basic form. It can be said that muddying the water now will not do any good to the members of the Olympus Protoss. Even if Hera intended to take this opportunity to do something, it would not be a wise decision.

It was precisely because this decision was quite strange that Aphrodite was so surprised when she heard Hera's name.

While Aphrodite was doubtful, I and Isengard's think tank were also meditating together, wondering what Hera was going to do. The crystal communicator had just been turned on during Aphrodite's interrogation, so I already knew the information she had just interrogated. Similarly, Essinger also received the signal simultaneously, but we are just as unclear as Aphrodite about what Hera plans to do.

While Aphrodite continued to interrogate other questions. The think tank on Essinger's side is extremely noisy because everyone has different opinions. As for my side. I alone thought of many possibilities, but in the end I rejected them all. No matter how you think about it, muddying the waters is not good for the Olympus Protoss. It doesn't matter if he is trying to establish his own business or if he is planning to rebel and join us.

"I said..." Just as we were all thinking about the reason, a voice suddenly inserted into our communication channel.

"Bingbing? Why are you in the communication channel too?" I was stunned for a moment when I suddenly heard Bingbing's voice.

Since Atlantis, the White Shark Tribe and some other sea tribes merged into our Frost Rose Alliance, our crystal resonance communication system has been significantly upgraded. Today's communication crystals can not only transmit sounds and images synchronously, but compared with the old communicators of the past, its biggest advantage is that it can communicate with frequency division.

To put it simply, the previous communicators were like walkie-talkies. One person shouted on the channel, and everyone holding the machine could hear it. However, the current communicators have evolved to the mobile phone stage. You can specify one or a few people to talk to. Communicate, and other people holding the device won't hear what you say.

Of course, to complete frequency division communication, a switch is indispensable, otherwise we can only rely on manual switchboard switching like when the telephone was first invented. Of course our guild does not have a switch. After all, this is a game and not reality, so we can only use manual switching for frequency division communication. But we are lucky because we have a military god. Although he appears as a player in the game, he is actually a telephone switch with far more powerful functions than ordinary ones. So now the God of War is the human switch of our guild, and it is the kind with zero error. Even in many battles, with tens of thousands of communications communicating in point-to-point or even multi-point cross-communications on the battlefield at the same time, the God of War did not miss a single one.

However, just now, a communication person who was not part of the plan was inexplicably connected to our communication. How can we not be surprised?

I just finished asking here. Military God immediately explained: "Bingbing is in my main control room now. All your communications are not encrypted with me, so it is normal to hear them."

After hearing this answer, I finally felt a little relieved. Although Bingbing will not endanger the security of the guild, and the communication itself is not particularly secret, information security is a major matter after all. Of course we should take it seriously when something like this happens. But since it wasn't an accidental error, it's no problem. Not many people can enter the control center anyway.

"Bingbing, what did you want to say before?" After figuring out the reason, I asked Bingbing again. She seemed to want to say something when she interrupted before.

After hearing me ask her, Bingbing said again: "Oh, that's it. I just heard your conversation, and then I also thought of a possibility."

"Well, you" Although I don't think Bingbing is the kind of person who can think of such a problem. But the three cobblers are just like Zhuge Liang, and no one can guarantee that others will not think of it. Everyone is likely to suddenly come up with some brilliant ideas or ideas. This is not the exclusive preserve of inventors or literary and artistic creators.

With my encouragement, Bingbing immediately said: "I think it is impossible for people within the Olympus Protoss to muddy the water, because if they want to protect the Olympus Protoss, then The hope is that the traitors can be found and eliminated. On the other hand, if someone is determined to rebel, they will try to figure out the situation and contact the traitors so that they can connect with external forces."

I nodded and said, "We also know this, so we find it strange."

"No, that's what I think. Although the other party, whether they are loyal to the Olympus Protoss or trying to contact us, does not want to muddy the waters, then what if the other party belongs to a third-party force?"

"Third party?"

I and the think tank at Essinger were all stunned.

Third party? There has never been a third party involved in our previous relationship with the Olympus Protoss, but who stipulates that there cannot be a third party?

We were temporarily quiet because of our thinking, but Bingbing thought we didn't understand her thoughts, so she explained anxiously: "I think. If the other party has surrendered to a third party and then hooked up with the other party, Then there is no need for him to make things clear anymore. After muddying the water, accidental injuries from both sides will become very serious, and in the end, whether we win or the Olympus Protoss wins, the casualties will definitely be heavy. However, The third party does not worry about this, because they are external forces and there is no loss for them. On the contrary, the more serious the casualties caused between us and the Olympus Protoss, the easier it will be for them to benefit in the end."

Bingbing is a relatively simple girl. To think of such a problem can only be said to be caused by different thinking directions. Just because she didn't understand it, she jumped out of the shackles of habitual thinking and thought of the possibility of the existence of this third party force. However, once we figured it out, the speed of thinking and deduction was naturally much faster than hers. During Bingbing's explanation, we have figured out the key.

Yes, Bingbing's idea makes sense. If the water is muddied, we will not be able to figure out who the Twelve Star Gods are helping, and Zeus will not be able to figure out the ownership of Aphrodite and the Twelve Star Gods, so in the end everyone can only rely on strength to speak, because It was no longer clear who were our own and which were the enemy. The only way was to set up a battle array, put up the flags, and then see which way they moved closer. However, once the battle begins, it means that the spy war has turned into an all-arms fight, and the casualties and investment will inevitably be much greater than before.

It can be said that once both sides are completely confused by intelligence, the price paid by both sides will increase exponentially. Because of this, neither of us wants this to happen, and we both want to find out who is whose as soon as possible. However, for third parties, once the water is muddied, it is perfect. Let's fight the Olympus Protoss. They can just come and take advantage afterwards.

When we think of this possibility, we feel all the hairs on our bodies stand up. It would be tragic if the large-scale operation we carried out at such a high price came to nothing because of this incident!

"Bingbing, thank you for your opinion. It's been a big help. But we have to discuss things next, so I won't talk to you for now." I quickly felt Bingbing's opinion.

Su Mei and others at the think tank also quickly thanked Bingbing for the reminder, and then we began to analyze the possibility of this third party joining, and at the same time notified Aphrodite to verify our results through targeted interrogation of the captured prisoners. guess.

Although those who were captured were just a group of Saints who were not even officially considered the Gods, the fact that they could be sent to perform such a task showed that their loyalty was very high. And a team with extremely high loyalty is definitely more likely to know some secret information than those of ordinary teams.

Essinger's Su Mei said through communication: "Since the other party is trying to get a share of the conflict between us and the Olympus Protoss, it means that they have the ability to extend their hands to Greece."

Xiaoyao's voice followed: "So the opponent is either not far from Greece, or has the strength to fight across regions."

"No, even if it is very close to Greece, it must be a powerful protoss. After all, this is a cross-border battle. For the regional protoss, if this kind of battle is not fought, the strength will be reduced by 30%. Even if you count us As a result of mutual consumption with the Olympus Protoss, the other party's strength must be a first- or second-rate protoss, and those small protoss who engage in witchcraft do not have this strength."

"But in this case there are still too many targets!"! .
