The commotion at the scene did not last long. With efficient actions, the scene was quickly cleared and the staff dispersed and returned to their posts.
Boluogo and Palmer failed to accompany Lebius. In the absence of Nathaniel and the absence of instructions from the decision-making room, the leaders of these action groups were considered to have the highest authority of the Field Service Department.
They have the right to make their own decisions.
Lebius went to ask for information about the wounded. After Bologg and Palmer stopped in the observation tower for a while, they returned to the activity room of the special operations group.
Leaning on the sofa, the two chatted about what had just happened.
Palmer asked, "What do you think happened?"
"At the end of the operation, when we were about to return to the Order Bureau, we were surprised by the enemy."
Boluogo said calmly, but there was deep concern in his eyes. He didn't know who these wounded people were, let alone what mission they were performing. But from Lebius's words, he could know that the person who attacked them was at least
He's a base keeper.
What kind of action would it take to encounter an enemy like the defender?
"Indeed, this kind of thing is quite common, so the employee handbook emphasizes that it is not safe until we completely leave the scene and return to the Order Bureau."
After Palmer finished speaking, he paused and whispered to Burlogo in a lower voice, "I know who they are."
Boluogo looked at Palmer in confusion, and Palmer said mysteriously, "They are members of the tenth group, the Hunters of the Nations."
"how do you know?"
Since Bologo joined the job, he has not seen the members of the tenth group, mainly because these people are operating in the narrow countries, just like the fourth group, the Abyss Watchers, who have been stationed at the desperate outpost for a long time.
If necessary, they will not return to the Bureau of Order.
"I worked with Group 10 when I was at Crow's Nest," Palmer said. "Remember that guy who broke his leg? His name was Mallory, and he was a member of Group 10.
"
Palmer continued, "They must have encountered an extremely urgent situation, otherwise they would not have used the winding path to break through to return to the Bureau of Order."
Alchemists call all means of distorting space warp paths, and the safest and most stable way of movement is the warp path door, which moves in both directions from point to point.
In addition to safety, the disadvantage of the Winding Path Gate is that the shuttle position is fixed and cannot be changed.
The winding path breakthrough is a forced breakthrough from one point to the next. The risk is extremely high, but it is more convenient. The vortex gate of the observation tower is a large-scale alchemy equipment specially responsible for the winding path breakthrough. When necessary, the action team will be called upon to make an emergency breakthrough.
Deliver to the target location.
In the same way, in an emergency, the target can also communicate with the observation tower through complex rituals to determine their location, and then bring the target back from the dangerous zone to the observation tower. The situation that the tenth group is currently encountering is the latter.
Boluogo said, "In other words, they broke through the winding paths from the narrow countries?"
"It looks like this."
Oath City Opos is located between the Kogadel Empire and the Rhine League, with the narrow kingdoms extending on both sides of it, forming a wall of the kingdoms to separate the two behemoths.
This avoids direct conflict between the two to a certain extent, but because of their geographical location, the narrow countries often become battlefields for conflicts between multiple forces, thus giving the devils an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Just now, Lebius also said that the operations of the 10th Group in the Hazama Kingdoms have ended. Now that something like this has happened, it is inevitable for people to think about the actions of the 10th Group. It is not clear that after they destroyed the Orangutan Sect,
What happened again.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Compared with a small action group like ours, Group 10 is the real one with a big business. And like Group 6, they always go out in groups."
Palmer patted Boluogo on the shoulder, "Only a small number of members of the 10th group appeared in the observation tower. Most of the members should be trapped in the narrow countries. The field support department should be there soon.
Reinforcements will be sent."
"You also heard what Lebius said. The enemy in the surprise attack is likely to be the defender."
When he thought of the defenders, Boluogo felt a deep sense of powerlessness. They were the enemies he was truly unable to contend with.
"I heard it, but wasn't the leader of the tenth group also at the scene?" Palmer said, "I have seen the leader of the tenth group. He is like a shepherd, never far away from his group.
member."
"He didn't appear in the observation tower, so he must have stayed with the Hazama Kingdoms. With him, I don't think there will be any big surprises."
Borogo said, "Do you trust him that much?"
"Of course, the position of leader of the 10th Group is not something that ordinary people can fill."
The Glorious Ones will not easily appear on the battlefield. For this reason, the defenders are the ceiling of power in the extraordinary world. These people usually hold extremely important positions, but some action groups will also be led by the defenders due to the special functions they are responsible for.
.
For example, the fourth group guarding the Abandoned Land, its leader Holt is a young defender.
The tenth group is a hunter from the Hazama Kingdom, and the leader of this action group is also a fortress defender.
"Instead of worrying about this, it's better to think about what's next," Palmer's face fell. "You know, we are the only idle operations team in the field department."
Bologg understood what Palmer meant. Maybe when Lebius comes back later, he will bring a list with the names of Bologg and Palmer on it, and then the two of them will talk about it.
Traveling to various countries.
If only the two of them were still talking, but this incident is obviously not something that two believers can resolve, Lebius and Jeffrey will definitely go together, and working with their boss is really not a comfortable thing.
thing.
Palmer emphasized, "Don't think about that, focus on now."
"What's wrong with you? Your mentality has changed so much?" Bologo noticed Palmer's change, "You're not usually like this."
"This is called transformation."
Palmer pretended to be mature and steady, "People, don't worry too much about the future. Worry about this and that, endlessly."
When Burlogo was about to lament that Palmer had grown a lot during this trip home, Palmer continued, "But we still need to make some plans for the future, for example... if this matter has nothing to do with us, we will spend the evening together.
Want to play board games? I made an appointment with Hart."
"No, go and play by yourself."
Burlogo shook his head. He shouldn't expect anything from Palmer. Why didn't he have a long memory?
Palmer asked, "Then how do you go back?"
"I'll walk back by myself, it's not far, and...and I want to take a walk."
There is a big stone in Bolog's heart, a big stone called Devil's Dispute. As Palmer said, there is no point in worrying about him now. Bolog tries his best not to think about it, but this matter is still too important.
He needs some time to accept and relax.
Walking is a good choice. Bologg likes to wander aimlessly on the streets. Opos is an interesting city with weird surprises hidden everywhere. Maybe he will encounter one tonight.
Like some lost demon?
Burlogo laughed to himself, and this sudden laughter made Palmer feel physically uncomfortable.
Lebius didn't come back all day, and neither did Jeffrey. The two of them spent time in the field department until it was time to get off work.
It seems that there will be no results for this emergency today. After waiting for a while, Boluogo and Palmer left and got off work.
Palmer drove straight to the Immortal Club. Sere was no longer there, but he tricked Bode into playing board games with them.
By the way, Weier has also joined the board game. Judging from the settings they gave, Weier is a hunter infected by monsters. Although she maintains her sanity, her body has transformed into a beast.
Well...a cat.
Weier liked this setting very much and said that she would lead them through the game.
Burlogo waved to Palmer, looked in the mirror, Palmer nodded to Burlogo, and the two separated and left with their backs to each other.
Ever since he and Palmer lived together, the two had been inseparable, but now that they were separated, Boluogo felt an inexplicable sense of freedom.
Boluogo liked this feeling of being alone, not thinking about anything, not worrying about anything, and completely letting his mind go. It felt great.
He wandered around the streets, turning right without stopping at a red light. Bologna didn't know where he would end up. He liked this sense of randomness and unknown.
From a seasonal point of view, it is already spring. Due to the poor environment in Opos, the weather is still cold. Crowds of people are walking from the side of the sidewalk. People are wrapped in thick scarves, lowered their heads and are silent. The tedious work has been completed.
It leaves people without the strength to speak.
Boluogo met the silent crowd, like a black lamb leaping into the flock. Unfamiliar faces flashed before Boluogo's eyes one by one, and then a cold dagger stabbed silently at the side of his body.
This was a perfect assassination. The attack was launched when Bologo was most relaxed, without mobilizing any ether, and it was unable to arouse Bologo's vigilance towards ether.
But the other party was still a little negligent. Before the dagger was about to fall, a strong hand took the first step, grabbed his wrist, and pressed hard, causing intense pain to rush through his nerves.
Before the other party could scream, Boluogo raised his arm, put it on the man's neck, and strangled his throat. The suffocation made the man's face turn red instantly.
"Hey, long time no see."
Burlogo greeted the man cordially without attracting anyone's attention.
The two of them took a few more steps forward in this intimate manner, and then Boluogo led the other person into an alley, twisted the man's wrist, took the dagger, and kicked him into the garbage.
"It stinks..."
Boluogo pinched his nose, not sure whether he was commenting on the garbage everywhere or the smell of corruption on the man's body.
