Chapter 64 Final Preparations

After entering the tent, Constantine very carefully sat on one side of the tent with his men, and then asked us to sit on the opposite side. Elder Zuo asked us impatiently: "Let's talk first! What is there to discuss?"

"The thing is very simple." Rose said: "We just hope that you can return to France and reorganize the temple."

Rose's words stunned all these people. After waiting for a long time, Constantine suddenly slapped the table and said, "Do you want to kill us all?"

"Marshal thinks too much, doesn't he?" Rose said indifferently: "Is our reputation that bad?"

Constantine didn't say anything, he just glanced at the elders and the others. Finally, the high priest stood up. "Since we are not going to kill them all, then why do you want us to return to France? Don't tell us about reorganizing the temple or anything, we don't believe it. If you really need to do this, why did you support Marilyn's rebellion in the first place?"

Rose held out two fingers. "First, Marilyn is not rebelling. She is just seizing power. You do not represent the temple. Second, we are not supporting Marilyn, but seeking our own interests. Marilyn promised to give us a large amount of money. As a reward, we are just mercenaries, nothing more."

"Then you are now...?"

"Now that our work is done, it will take a long time to pay Marilyn's wages. However, no one can guarantee that Marilyn will pay the balance honestly in the future. We need a guarantee , and you are the guarantee.”

Elder You asked: "Do you mean to support us and form an opposing force?"

Rose nodded. "That's right."

Elder Zuo immediately said: "You were originally helping Marilyn, but now that you can betray her, there is no guarantee that you will not sell us out again. How can we trust you?"

Rose laughed. "What Elder Zuo said is wrong. When did we betray her?"

"Now. She wants you to help her rise to the throne, just to eliminate us, but you want to help us rise too. What is this but betrayal? A traitor has no loyalty at all. If you can betray once, you will be loyal. the second time."

Rose clapped her hands and said: "Well said, I agree with this. But this just shows our credibility."

"What do you mean?"

"Elder, you think betrayers will get used to betrayal, but loyal people will always be loyal. And we are loyal people. Betrayal is relative to loyalty. We have never been loyal to Marilyn, how can we be considered betraying her? Make no mistake, she is not our boss. As we said before, we are just a guest mercenary. We are not Marilyn's subordinates. We only help her for profit, so our allegiance is to profit, and Not Marilyn. Now that the benefits are with you, we are here to help you. This fully demonstrates how loyal we are."

"Is this considered loyalty?"

"Isn't it wrong to be loyal to interests? At least you can rest assured that when you can still bring us benefits, we will be your strongest allies. You don't deny this, right? As for saying that you have no interests, you should know When will you lose your value? At that time, wouldn’t it be better to be prepared to resist us than to be driven around like a lost dog now?”

"You demons, don't be too arrogant."

"Are you angry with shame?" Rose looked indifferent. "Please pay attention to the current situation. The Temple of Light is indeed still there, but it is no longer your Temple of Light, so it is best not to think of yourself as noble. Nobility is supported by strength. Now you are the lost dogs, this I hope you can figure it out first. If you can accept this fact, I believe the subsequent negotiations will go smoothly."

"You...!" The elders on the left and right were so angry that they almost fought with us on the spot, but I took the spherical eternity and threw it in my hands. The two elders glanced at the eternity in my hand. In the end, I still didn't dare to move.

I said: "Actually, the problem is very simple. You have no backup, no baggage, and even no command staff. In such an environment, you should understand your position. When you don't have the capital to show off, it's best to pretend to be pitiful. Stop showing off your power, you don’t have what it takes.”

Constantine said angrily: "We know our situation very well, please stop humiliating us with words!"

"Very good. It seems there is someone who understands." I took out a scroll and threw it over. "If you agree, put a drop of blood on it. If you don't agree, tear it up."

Constantine and the people around him immediately began to read the scroll, which recorded a large number of clauses in detail, and the entries were very detailed, with detailed regulations in many subtle places, which simply restricted their ability to move. However, the so-called restrictions only target the parts that they should not touch, and are within their own normal actions. We are given full freedom. They can even do it according to their own ideas. The overall meaning of the entire scroll is: As long as it does not involve our interests, we can ignore it. on the contrary. Things that concern us must be ours. It's that simple.

After reading this thing, Constantine discussed it with a few people around him, but they soon nodded in agreement. After the scroll is confirmed to be effective, the scroll will automatically burn. After that, the contract will be protected by the system, and anyone who dares to breach the contract will be severely punished. However, this is the contract we proposed, and it is Constantine and his friends who are trying to encircle it, because our obligations on the scroll are very few and it is impossible to violate it.

After everything was confirmed, the Legion of Light was completely relieved. The Dark Temple received our notification and did not trouble them any more. The army of light directly crossed the cliff that was blown off and returned to the border between the two countries, and then entered France.

After this army of light returned to France, France began to become chaotic. As we expected, those remaining members of the temple who escaped took the initiative to meet with Constantine. After Constantine explained the situation to them, these people no longer concealed their identities, but appeared in a larger city and occupied the temple here.

With our support, Marilyn established the New Temple of Light, which is still called the Temple of Light, while Constantine and the others established the Holy See of Light with Philindil as the goddess. The names sound similar, but they are actually two organizations. The Holy See absorbed the remaining power of the old temple. At the same time, some new forces were also collected to join. On the one hand, the temple has restored its original structure, and on the other hand, it has continued to have a good relationship with us, hoping to use our strength to eradicate the influence of the Holy See again. But we brought this Holy See back to look after them. How could I possibly touch it?

Anyway, the Temple of Light has entered a state of complete religious war, and basically has no time to worry about it. The battle mission on the Russian side is almost ready, and the battle will start on the morning of the 27th as requested by Roseland. The process went surprisingly smoothly, the enemy was just a small guild, and their strength was in a mess. The other Russian guilds didn't give them any help, so the fight was completed in one morning.

We sold the occupied city to a relatively large local guild, which was an act of goodwill towards the local forces. The founding war is about to begin. We don’t want to open countless fronts in many countries at the same time. I am not a crazy Hitler. If we start a war with the whole world at the same time, no matter how good we are, we will be defeated.

The official start date of the National War was December 1st, and we had an understanding of all overseas and domestic matters on November 30th. The day the national war broke out. Things will definitely be more than you can believe, and we can't afford to be distracted by them.

Since we are Chinese, the target of the national war is undoubtedly RB. We spent the whole day on the 30th adding troops to rb. After Marilyn became the boss of the Temple of Light, she gave us all the war reparations, and then Constantine also gave us some money. In addition, Rose ran to play coquettishly with her father and brought back some research funds. Overall, our guild’s available funds have tripled. But as soon as the thirtieth day passed, we were paupers again. Most of the money has gone into the pockets of Heaven. Their Heavenly Soldiers are already very cost-effective, not to mention that I have so many preferential policies. It's actually quite cost-effective.

On the morning of the 31st, it felt so good to see our guild’s army gathering in RB’s Fulcrum City! Our guild can finally build an army of tens of millions. In the past, people used to build so many armies to pile up our people, but it is finally our turn to use our people to bury others.

However, I have to say that little rb is really united. After seeing our army, rb immediately raised a large amount of funds and built an army of tens of millions, and it was actually more people than us. I almost lost my breath and vomited blood. Speaking of which, our country's gross national product is two or three times that of other people's, but when you calculate the population... it's really embarrassing! Being distracted may be our biggest flaw!

Fortunately, we have a large population base. Although there are many weaklings and pugs that follow others, there is also no shortage of people with lofty ideals. The Hot Blood Alliance still takes the player route. On the 30th, it launched a surprise recruitment preparation. The guild expanded to 20 million members overnight, which almost scared me to death.

The number of people in the Northern Alliance suddenly expanded to more than five million, and they raised one billion crystal coins for sponsorship. He just pulled up an elite army that was armed to the teeth overnight.

Our guild is the worst. After all, the review is relatively strict, even though it has also undergone major expansion. But in the end, it didn’t exceed 100,000 people. It’s not that no one signed up, but we didn’t want to take in too many.

Recruiting has its pros and cons, but we didn’t expect that something would go wrong that day. On the night of the 30th, Zhenhong suddenly and mysteriously called me to the secret room of the guild.

"Why did you bring me here?" I was confused by the real red.

After Zhenhong entered the room, she didn't say anything. Instead, she asked about me first. "Do you trust me?"

"Ah? What do you mean by asking?"

"I'm just asking you, do you trust me?"

"If you don't believe me, I will give you a national weapon to wear? People all over the country will use it to fight national wars."

"No, now I want more trust from you than this. Can you give it to me?"

I was completely stunned. Zhenhong usually looks carefree like a boy, why did she suddenly change her gender today? "What on earth are you going to say?"

"Tell me first if you can trust me."

"Didn't I say I trust you?"

Zhenhong said: "This is related to my life, the life outside the game. And it may also be related to the lives of many people."

"Outside the game?" I was a little more serious. After all, in reality, life is only one chance. If you die, you will die. I nodded. "Okay! I'm confident that I've never missed someone. I believe in you, no matter what."

"Good place." Zhenhong said, "So. Can you log off and come to this place immediately?" Zhenhong handed over a note.

I looked at it, then looked up again at True Red. "What's going on?"

"How long will it take you to get there? I'll wait for you there tomorrow. You can log off now. Trust me, I won't let you run away in vain."

I looked at the address again in confusion. "If I log off now, I'll be there within thirty minutes. Are you sure you really want to see me in real life?"

"Not bad." Zhenhong said: "When you get there, find an excuse and ask the waiter to call their manager out. Then you tell him that you want to eat roasted whole lamb. He will tell you that the roasted whole lamb has been sold out, and you just say to change. A roast duck, and I asked Chef Wang to roast it."

"What are all these things? Are you engaged in intelligence?" I almost stared out of my eyes. "Don't tell me you're a member of the Raven Legion."

"How did you guess the ground?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. "Forget it! I'll be there right away, really! What a mistake! I should have thought of it earlier!"

After quickly logging off, I left the base according to the address in my memory, and then found the Western restaurant. After using the secret code for the joint mentioned by Zhenhong, the boss took me into the kitchen at the back, then opened the refrigerator and took me inside. There is a single room at the end of the icehouse, with a separate door. Inside this door is a small room that looks like a secret vault made by the boss. It's actually an elevator. The safe on the wall is just a disguise. Opening the safe door and entering the password again will allow the entire room to go underground.

The boss sent me out of the elevator and went back by himself. He only told me to keep moving forward. I really didn't expect that Zhenhong was actually a member of Crowland! This Crow Legion is Long Yuan's special intelligence agency, an organization completely separated from the national system. It can be said that no member of this organization is fully human. They are all semi-cyborgs like the B1 unit. It is said that the reason why this organization was established is a 'mystery', but their work efficiency is absolutely unparalleled. Additionally, crows are generally involved in common intelligence-stealing incidents, if they intend to report something. That must be something very, very important.

My physique seems to be that I can instinctively distinguish each other's personality and mental state since I was a child, so I rarely make mistakes when judging people. Real celebrities even fooled me. What a monster! For the first time in my life, my perception went wrong.

Walk along the corridor to the end, open a door and enter a small room, which looks like a small conference room. After hearing the sound of the doorkeeper, the swivel chair with its back to the door turned around. A very beautiful oriental beauty appeared on the chair. She looked so gentle and peaceful. It is very easy to arouse men's protective desire. However, I think she looks familiar.

"Master, your appearance is indeed similar to that in the game."

"Are you really red?" My jaw almost dropped. After staring up and down for a long time, I still couldn't believe it was true. Zhenhong in the game is a complete tomboy, with a hotter temper than men and a straightforward personality that is very lovable, but most men will treat her as a friend because when they are with her, they will unconsciously treat her as a A man, even though her appearance has nothing to do with a man. However, this tomboy is so popular. In reality, he was standing in front of me wearing a white suit. She looked completely gentle and graceful, the contrast was really too big.

She laughed. Then he said in a very gentle voice: "Did it scare you?"

"I...this...really scared me!"

Zhenhong covered her mouth and chuckled a few times in a very ladylike manner. "Actually, this is the real me. I am a crow. You know, I often need to play someone else, so I will try my best to create another character in the game. For me, this is a kind of practice."

"I can understand that, but why did you call me here...?"

"Oh, I called you here because of many things. Originally, I shouldn't meet others, but your status is special, and meeting you is the only safe choice." Zhenhong turned around and took some documents from the table to me. "Let's talk about the first thing first. Do you still remember the Chinese guy you met in the Tunnel of Wind in France who was leveling up?"

"How do you know? I don't remember telling you this!"

"Have you forgotten what I do?"

"Oh, sorry!"

Zhenhong smiled and said: "After you reported it to the chairman, we immediately received an order to investigate this person, and found this." She handed over a photo. There are two people in the photo. It seems they have just met and are shaking hands. One of them was clearly the one who hung up to level up. Zhen Hong continued: "This young man's name is Mitsui Maoichi. He is a Chinese with RB nationality. He is the person you found hanging up. The person opposite him shaking hands with him is called Henry Luo. He is a British intelligence officer. Just like 007 Same."

"Why are they together? Is this person from the British spy department?"

"That's not true." Zhenhong said: "Mitsui is a very talented young man. He participated in the research of the biological computer project when he was studying in the Department of Biology at Shoushan University in Japan. But this research was too expensive and the prospects were not very good. It was promising, so it was later withdrawn. However, Mitsui gained a lot of knowledge from it. When "Zero" was officially launched last year, he wanted to use hacking technology to modify the game characters to make a profit. As a result, he found that ordinary hacking tools and even standard computer systems None of them could connect to the "Zero" server normally. Later, he once dismantled and studied our game helmet. We can already confirm this because he has bought more than thirty helmets in total, and normal people simply don't use that many. He discovered that "Zero" was based on a biological computer. It was just right for his major, and then he studied it in depth. Until not long ago, that is, the time you met, he was finally able to deceive the peripheral system successfully. No one hangs up."

"Does this mean that this person has deciphered the operating rules of Nuwa Type 2?"

"We can't even talk about deciphering it. At most, we have found general patterns. We can easily avoid some of the special codes, and the functions are very simple. And this Mr. '007' is here to dig up his technology. The British intelligence agency hopes to use him The result is that it penetrated into the "Zero" network and then monitored the internal network of Longyuan. The reason why I asked you to go offline to talk is because the network is no longer safe. Your conversations in the game can be eavesdropped. Of course, it's true. It’s not that easy to listen to. The British probably don’t have the energy to process so much information, but I have to take precautions.”

I nodded: "When I go back, I will ask my eldest sister to go online to kill them. Even Long Yuanluo dares to invade. But they can also enter the game, and eldest sister will check everything. If they really want to enter, they will be discovered immediately." The eldest sister is Nuwa, the main computer of the base, and she is not afraid of any hackers. Hacking requires at least the input of data to be effective, but Nuwa's mental-like body pipeline can clear illegally accessed data as soon as possible. Unless your computer has more powerful computing power than Nuwa, no matter how good your technology is, you can't get in.

Zhenhong handed me another piece of information. "This is the second thing. Since the God of War began to command the battle, many countries' spy agencies have discovered problems. On the battlefield that day, the detailed and comprehensive command of everyone was obviously not something that humans can do. Staff Group He is not a prophet, so it is impossible to arrange tactical actions in advance, so these things can only be sent instantly. From this point, it is easy to infer that someone or something else who can handle battlefield orders carefully at any time has been connected to the game. .”

I nodded and said, "I've known this for a long time. The military god's command style is different from any previous generals. He will be discovered as soon as he starts commanding. We have already been mentally prepared."

Zhenhong said: "You are indeed prepared. But you don't know another thing." Zhenhong opened a form and handed it to me. "Starting from the third day when the military god participated in the command, the American ground electronic listening equipment has been recording the characteristic signals from our side. It is possible to use their technology to reversely deduce some technical information."

"Okay. This is worthy of attention. I will tell dad. Do you have any other questions?"

"One last thing." Zhenhong handed over a painting that looked like it had been soaked in water. "What is recorded here is encrypted information. You can't understand it. You can read it after analyzing it for Nuwa. The content is very important and must be processed as soon as possible."

"Well, I understand. I will hand it over to Nuwa when I get back."

"Then see you online!" Zhenhong smiled sweetly, making me shake my head. It’s true that people should not take risks!

After returning to the base, I handed over several things to Nuwa. She manages the entire base, and it is much faster for her to do it than it is for me to find people everywhere. I stopped by the location of Liejunshen. The huge computer array was shining with a strange light. The God of War is calculating the combat arrangements for the national war. The amount of data is relatively large and it may take a long time to process it.

After confirming that nothing happened to the God of War, I went online again. Zhenhong was still waiting for me in the room, and there was someone else beside her, who turned out to be Sister Nuwa, the main computer of the base.

"Ah? Sister, why are you here? Did you also apply for an account?"

Nuwa patted me. "I'm here to wait for the illegal access message you mentioned. The other party doesn't seem to have turned on his phone, but as soon as he turns it on, I will give him a good look. Just leave me alone and go about your business."

"Oh!" Zhenhong and I stopped disturbing Nuwa and exited the secret room together. I looked at True Red, then thought about the True Red I had seen in real life, and shook my head with a wry smile.

It's past twelve o'clock this time, and today is the 31st. The national war will begin tomorrow, and I must arrange the last things. I first got the equipment of the Music Team girls from Marilyn, and then asked them to practice their coordination. I myself went through all the research departments. Our guild has been investing a lot of effort in the research on golem technology and we cannot give up. Now is the time for them to show their strength. Although there are not many high-level golems driven by magic crystals, there are still many stone figurines driven by runes. These are also combat power and need to be transferred to the front line together.

After a hard day's work, I asked all the players in the guild to go back and rest in advance. After twelve o'clock in the evening, the national war system will be opened, which is the beginning of the battle. Everyone should recharge their batteries before then.

At 11:59 at night, the system prompt finally sounded. "Attention all players, the national war system will be officially launched in one minute, please be prepared."
