Chapter 993 Send Troops
Vivian ate the blood crystal stone that was formed in an unknown age. The people around her immediately focused their attention on her, waiting with bated breath for the results to come out. This time, Vivian was interested in the blood crystal stone. The analysis was much slower than usual. She just frowned slightly and peeled out the information contained in the blood crystal bit by bit. From her expression, it seemed that the state of the crystal was not very good.
Lily held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help but said: "How about the bat? Is it sweet or salty?"
"The information carried by this crystal is very vague," Vivian glared at Lily before explaining the situation to everyone, "I'm afraid it's quite a long time ago... The degree of information dissipation is almost the same as that of the piece found in 'Purgatory' On par.”
"Does that mean it's a relic from almost 10,000 years ago?" Hao Ren was not surprised by the age of the crystal. "Can it still be read?"
Vivian was silent for a moment, her expression a little gloomy: "No, I still can't see clearly. I can only be sure that this crystal contains a strong idea, that is, it wants me to go to the north, where there is something left behind by me. But there is still a message in my memory, saying that there is something very dangerous in the 'north'..."
"North?" Hao Ren frowned and looked at Bai Huo, "Do you know what this means?"
"Perhaps...it's about the witcher's fortress," Bai Huo hesitated. This was the first time she had revealed information about the witcher headquarters to outsiders, and she had revealed it to a group of aliens, even though she had been prepared beforehand. Prepare, I am still a little hesitant to say it at this time, "The base camp of the demon hunters, Corpus, is in the far north of the entire planet - near the North Pole."
Hao Ren was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, and then said in a somewhat unreal tone: "It turns out that the headquarters of the demon hunter is in the North Pole..."
A strange feeling of lack of reality came to his heart, making him not know what to sigh for. Demon hunters, the most mysterious supernatural group on earth, a powerful force that has not been seen for thousands or even ten thousand years, countless alien families - even those ancient ones as powerful as gods - have struggled to find them but have never been able to find them. After finding their base camp, their location was revealed so easily. It turns out that this base camp is located in the North Pole.
Vivian said meaningfully: "It is said to be in the North Pole, but it must not be a place that ordinary people can directly 'reach'."
"Of course," Bai Huo nodded slightly, "The entrance to Corpus is an ice fortress built in the gap between space. This fortress stands on the Arctic ice cap, but it can only be seen with special vision, and You need to understand astrology to enter the gate of the fortress. In this era, humans have built scientific research stations to the North Pole. There is almost no place on the earth that they can't go to, and we don't want to be disturbed."
"...Your saint Bedolis only said that he would give me the crystal, but he didn't say anything else, right?" Vivian stood up and moved her shoulders slightly, "And the person who sent you didn't say anything either. What exactly do you want to come to us for?"
Bai Huo opened her mouth, but said nothing in embarrassment. At this moment, she also realized that the whole thing was full of absurdity: at the moment when the demon hunter organization was facing the crisis of extinction, a middle-level cadre like her came to find a vampire chief. What do you want to do? Help? Take refuge? Either way it seems a little ridiculous. The blood crystal may be able to connect Vivian with the Witcher organization, but Vivian herself did not find a clear reason from the blood crystal for her to go to the Arctic to take risks - just an unclear one. "Obsession" is not enough.
Master Tutanin should have thought of this when he handed the blood crystal to Bai Huo, so apart from the order "Give the crystal to the countess", Tutanin did not explain anything extra.
Because Tutanin also knew very well: he had no position or reason to expect a vampire countess to do anything, and everything could only be left to fate.
But just when Bai Huo thought that his desperate attempt to break out was in vain, Vivian clapped her hands and said, "Why don't you go over and take a look at the situation?"
The first one to exclaim was Bai Huo himself: "Huh?"
"If all the demon hunters really want to be wiped out, it would be quite troublesome for me to be honest," Vivian said with a strange expression, "Although you and the aliens are mortal enemies, you are also a part of the 'balance'... …Maybe the disappearance of the witchers is a good thing for the aliens, but it should never happen today, and suddenly disappear in this way - it will cause bigger problems.”
Bai Huo was immediately overjoyed, but she immediately calmed down from the surprise: "That said, how do you plan to help us solve this crisis?"
"Don't be so sure, I don't know what to do yet," Vivian waved her hand, "I can only go over to see the situation first. If that doesn't work, I'll go all the way to your saint and ask him. Anyway, since The blood crystals have been delivered, so I can't just leave this matter alone. Right Hao Ren?"
In the end, Vivian couldn't help but look at Hao Ren, waiting for him to make up his mind.
"We must go," Hao Ren said without hesitation, "If the Demon Hunter is really finished like this, I don't know how to fool this year's year-end work report. But before we go... do we need to inquire about this first? How many people should we deal with?"
Bai Huo was silent for a few seconds: "The Order of Elders itself is the largest war group among demon hunters. They have at least 120,000 elite warriors, and the leaders of the Order of Elders are all elder-level old hunters. They cannot be measured by simple numbers. In addition to this, the thirteen saints must be taken into account..."
"Maybe twelve," Lily gritted her teeth. "Your 'First Saint' has lived in the house for thousands of years. He might have died long ago."
"There's a woolen difference," Hao Ren casually hit Lily on the head, "Isn't there still a military power gap of tens of thousands to one!"
Yzaks, who had remained silent at this time, finally spoke: "We need to take a long-term view. This incident is no different than before. What we have to solve is not a natural disaster, but a war. It is difficult to take advantage of the situation."
As soon as the old devil opened his mouth, everyone at the scene was immediately convinced - Yzaks was an absolute expert in war, and no one dared to mention the war in front of him. After all, this was about to pull the legion. The Lord who pierced the whole world.
Bai Huo seemed a little anxious after hearing the words "long-term plan", but before she could say anything, she staggered and almost fell down. Seeing this, Vivian quickly helped her steady: "Don't be excited, you are still in this state." You’re lying, let’s take a rest first.”
"But our soldiers may not be able to hold on for long," Bai Huo took a few breaths. "When I broke out, the entire Corpus was almost completely controlled by the Presbyterian Order. If they occupy all the nodes, fight against them. All war groups will be destroyed - the current Order of Elders will massacre anyone who does not conform to their ideals, including demon hunters and aliens!"
"Can all the ordinary demon hunters in the world combined not be able to defeat an Elder Order?" Hao Ren felt a little incredible about what happened in "Corpus". "You have at least several times the strength advantage, right? The number of people is just It doesn’t work at all?”
"You don't understand Corpus. The Presbyterian Order controls the core of that space, and they have invincible power," Bai Huo said bitterly, "Corpus is an ancient super civilization relic. Those ruins Possessing many powerful and mysterious powers, the saint 'Tobelius' guided that power to destroy Jotunheim. This time we paid a huge price to take control of some energy nodes from the Elder Order. They couldn't activate those destructive devices, but the power they had at hand was still overwhelmingly powerful."
Hao Ren really wanted to remind this young demon hunter lady not to make the situation so serious when asking for help - in just a few words, the Order of Elders was said to be invincible. Isn't she afraid of scaring away the helpers? .
But there is also an advantage in telling the truth about the strength of the Elder Order, that is, Hao Ren and Y'zaks can more seriously and accurately analyze how powerful the guy they are going to deal with is. The two of them did a little analysis and felt that if these people in the family rushed to fight hundreds of thousands of supermen, it would be easy for them to be chopped off...
So reinforcements are needed.
Bai Huo was not stupid. After she calmed down, she realized how difficult the matter was. She looked at the group of people around Hao Ren and asked tentatively: "Is this... all of you in this shelter?"
Hao Ren was thinking about which reinforcements to call over to make up the number. Hearing this, he subconsciously replied: "Oh, right... um, no, there is a cat who is watching TV upstairs and has not come down."
After hearing this, Bai Huo almost went back to the medical warehouse and lay down on the spot.
"Don't faint! Don't faint!" Hao Ren reacted immediately and quickly explained, "I still have some people under my command, but they are not local. I can mobilize troops from other places!"
