Zongge commented: "Unless there is a strong person who insists on having his own way."
"It is a pity that the strongest people in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom are the three saints. The Snow Elf King hundreds of years ago was a legendary level. Although he was strong enough, he lacked political ability. Even the Ice Sculpture citizens privately commented on his nature.
Weak. He didn't accomplish this."
Zidi continued: "After this incident, I once again discovered a huge shortcoming of ours."
"We are so short of intelligence personnel."
"Alchemy puppets and undead life can indeed take a lot of advantage in investigation, especially after adding deception and camouflage techniques and anti-detection prophecy techniques."
"But real intelligence requires people to inquire, analyze, and arrange."
"We need someone who can take charge of intelligence work. Until now, we have mainly outsourced intelligence."
“This needs to be improved so much!”
Zong Ge immediately expressed his serious agreement.
Until now, they still know very little about the Duel Fighters, they only know that it is a powerful mysterious force.
This time, the Ziteng Shop also suffered a heavy loss due to insufficient intelligence. If the situation could be detected in advance, even if it was a little clue, as long as Zidi and Zong Ge were alerted, it would never be so dangerous!
Zong Ge sighed: "Among our group of survivors, no one has the talent to handle intelligence work."
"If you hire from outside, the most important thing is loyalty. We cannot guarantee this."
"Yes." Zidi sighed, "If we hire an outsider to serve as our intelligence spy and collection work, he can completely deduce many of our secrets through the content we collect."
"This location is a key location, so important!"
"We must ensure this person's loyalty. Relying on magic or magic alone is ultimately not safe."
After Zidi finished talking about her situation, it was Zongge's turn to introduce his side of things in detail.
"The people who attacked me are very strong!" Zong Ge sighed.
"To be honest, I took advantage. At that time, I actively prepared for battle to rescue you. If I hadn't prepared for battle in advance, wore armor, etc., and allowed the enemy to steal my equipment secretly, this battle would have been very difficult."
"According to my strength, there is no way to discover Huatang. But luckily, I received a divine blessing. My Lord temporarily gave me a divine spell, and I was able to detect the hidden enemy."
"I was wearing three pieces of silver armor, but the enemy still bypassed the defense. He used alchemy tools and fighting skills to directly break through the space and attack my internal organs."
"However, I have become very proficient in the defense of internal organs. From this point of view, I have to be a little grateful for the entanglement of blood feud."
Zong Ge had previously made a surprise attack on the Ax Gang leaders, Lin and Jia Bing, and killed three of them with great success. However, at the last moment, he was counterattacked by the Ax Gang leader and was struck by the enchantment on the Blood Vengeance battle ax - Blood Vengeance.
The blood feud will be launched at regular intervals and attack any part of Zong Ge's body. In the process of contending with the blood feud, Zong Ge has become very skilled in the defense of his own body.
This solid basic skill made Huatang's strange tricks useless.
"The time we fought was actually very short."
"I can feel that he did not give full play to his own strength. It is possible that he took the initiative to withdraw because he was worried about the city guards and other aspects."
"I can't keep him."
"And before he left, he also left me a 'gift'."
When Zong Ge said this, his tone couldn't help but become a little heavy.
He didn't know that the fighting technique performed by Huatang was called Hualiu, but after the post-war test, he had already discovered the difficulty of this fighting technique.
The black shadow formed by the buds and willow branches seemed to be branded on his skin. It was absorbing his vitality and fighting spirit every moment.
"It's obviously just fighting spirit, but I feel like it's alive."
"It is using me as the soil to take root and sprout."
"I have a premonition that when the buds bloom, that's when I will die."
"So, before that, I have to find a solution!"
Zong Ge can be considered a man with broad vision, but he has never seen such fighting skills.
But as an excellent general, he has the magnanimity to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai. When it comes to his own life and death, he seems to be discussing an irrelevant outsider.
Zidi also frowned after hearing this: "The blood feud in you has not been resolved yet. Now you have another fighting skill like this..."
"Ta Ling is in the Deep Sea Monster Fish, and we can't access the database yet."
"The more reliable way is to find the enemy who attacks you, dig out of him and find a solution."
Zidi then asked a very crucial question: "Zong Ge, are you sure he is Huatang?"
"According to the information we collected, Huatang has never shown such a trick before."
Zong Ge was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice after careful consideration: "I cannot make this judgment."
"In terms of strength, he does meet Huatang's positioning."
"After all, this gold-level thief is very legendary and has been active in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom for so many years."
Zidi immediately knew the implication of Zong Ge's words, and she sighed: "Yes, you are already gold level, and you have gold level weapons."
"In comparison, the enemy that attacked you seems to be more powerful than the 'Flower Hall' we encountered in Snowbird Port."
"The one who attacked you is more likely to be Huatang!"
"But if this guess is true, then our previous guess in Snowbird Port was wrong. Who was the gold-level thief killed by the Snowbird Port City Lord?"
While in Snowbird Port, the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group encountered an assassination attempt by a gold-level thief.
Fortunately, at that time, the people who played the roles of Lao Zhong and Hong Teng were alchemy puppets.
Moreover, the alchemy puppets were blessed with deception and camouflage techniques and anti-reconnaissance prophecy techniques. So much so that the gold-level thief always thought that he had succeeded in the assassination.
The gold-level equipment he stole was a positioning device that the survivors had installed openly. But under the cover of deception and camouflage and anti-reconnaissance prophecy, the thief knew nothing about it.
The survivors accurately learned his location through positioning and informed the Lord of Snowbird Port.
Only then did the battle begin, when the Lord of Snowbird Harbor led a magic team, cooperated with Bishop Seabird, and finally used the mage tower to surround and kill the gold-level thieves.
Zong Ge tried to analyze: "We did determine that this thief was Huatang before."
"But thinking about it carefully, we only detected that he had a silver fox mask in the mage tower in Snowbird Harbor before."
"This is indeed a characteristic of Huatang, but other than that, the other characteristics are not consistent with Huatang's intelligence."
Zidi nodded: "At that time, the group leader speculated that this was Huatang's intention."
"The purpose is to use inconsistent characteristics to clarify the relationship between him and Fujituro."
The Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group knew about the secret friendship between Hanado and Fujituro.
This would also benefit from the help of the Lord of Snowbird Port.
At the beginning, in order to put the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to death and give him a legitimate reason to attack the Bayonet Gang, the Lord of Snow Bird Harbor proactively provided the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group with two magical images. One of the images was that of Fujituro.
A scene of friendly discussions in private in the flower hall.
Zidi sighed: "I always thought that Huatang died in Snowbird Port. Now a new Huatang has appeared, and his appearance and characteristics are completely consistent with the intelligence."
"The national code of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom is right in front of you. At this time, Huatang attacks you, which is in line with his high-profile behavior."
"But the way he attacks you has never been seen in the intelligence."
Zong Ge answered: "In terms of tricks, it cannot be used as a judgment. Many people will hide their trump cards and will not use them until they have a last resort."
"Since Huatang has been running the Ice Sculpture Kingdom for so long and has yet to be caught, it is normal for him to have one or two killer moves in his hands."
Zidi could tell that Zong Ge was more inclined to believe that the one who attacked him was the real Huatang. In other words, this person was closer to Huatang than the one who died in Snowbird Port.
She now recalled that the Lord of Snowbird Harbor seemed to have said something when he was in the mage tower.
The general idea is that the city lord himself cannot and cannot be sure that Huatang was the one who attacked the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group.
Because many people had killed Huatang and became famous for it. Afterwards, Huatang appeared and continued to commit crimes, slapping many people in the face. Even some big shots were unable to step down.
"Perhaps the thieves we killed also fell into this situation."
"He did it in the name of Huatang."
Thinking of this, Zidi had a sudden inspiration and came up with a new guess. She said to Zong Ge: "Perhaps, the gold-level thieves who attacked us in Snowbird Harbor came from that mysterious force."
"So, it was not just the captain who killed Fujituro. Before that, we used the power of the Lord of Snowbird Port to ambush and kill their members."
Zongge listened to Zidi's analysis in the communication device and nodded slightly: "It is indeed possible."
The two then discussed for a while, without much progress.
"We are too short of key information. It is meaningless to speculate like this." Zong Ge stopped on his own initiative.
He said solemnly: "Now, we need to deal with the problem. The most troublesome thing is your side. To be honest, I would rather the imperial spy was framed. The person who really ambushed you is actually our 'old friend'
.”
Zidi sighed deeply: "I also want this fact, but the truth is not our fantasy."
"Judging from the current situation, even if it is not an imperial spy, it is probably another enemy."
"After all, before I went to Wisteria Shop, I re-enhanced the art of deception and disguise. My current identity is isolated from the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group."
Zidi understood what Zongge was worried about, and she also had the same worries.
The situation of the survivors is not good now.
They are facing the suppression of an extremely powerful mysterious force, which has made it very difficult for the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group to resist.
They had also paid a heavy price - not only was the alchemy workshop damaged, but even the tonic fountain that had been brought in, which connected her teacher to the Mixue Tower, was missing.
So much so that Zidi had to take a risk and throw away some of the war dealer's alchemy results in exchange for more support from the Utojian family.
Under this situation, if they provoke the Imperial Secret Service again...
There is no doubt that under the pressure of two huge organizations, the survivors will be crushed to pieces.
"Is this the pressure my father faced?"
"No, my current situation seems to be even worse than what my father faced at that time."
"How did it come to this?"
Zidi sighed and couldn't help but become discouraged.
She missed the dragon boy again: "Master, where are you now? If it were you, how would you face the current predicament?"
