"There is no need to continue to waste time. Let everyone on State Highway 35 retreat! The fifth and sixth legendary groups provide cover. Pay attention to your sense of proportion and don't let the people on the opposite side pull your trousers -"
In the underground combat command room in Smith Manor in the city of Houston, John Adams touched his head with a severe headache.
"The current situation is very troublesome. They have completely given up on defense and are focusing their manpower on offense. Probably if I lose a freight train, then I will make you pay three times or even ten times the price. The problem is now
, they can go all in at any time, but we don’t dare.”
He turned around in his office chair and looked at the elderly people behind him: "You know, father? The current strategy adopted by the National Association of Progressives seems to me like a pack of jackals attacking a rhinoceros. I know I can't do it.
, and you have to run up to provoke me, you have to be overturned and crushed by a rhinoceros before you feel comfortable."
"Otherwise? They, Rising Sun Media, are attacking us like crazy. If we don't do anything, what will outsiders think of us, Adams?"
A white-haired old man said sarcastically at first, and then smiled bitterly: "Of course, the current situation is no different, even more embarrassing. Having said that, there is really no way to deal with that sniper, that sky
Is there any way to use the scepter?"
"The sniper is easy to deal with. Just make enough preparations to prevent him from shooting. The problem is still the combination of Sky Scepter, Lucky Andre, King of Void Night, and the sniper. In terms of spatial ability,
Unless the gods with higher divine power take action, it will be difficult to suppress them. We have prepared three methods, but the results are not expected to be ideal."
"Our two magicians are already designing a magic circle. As long as they can be led to a specific battlefield, they can completely block the sky scepter and most of the void abilities. But how to lead is a problem. Complete the design of this magic circle.
It takes time.”
"Obviously, their purpose is to buy time. Before we have a sufficiently effective response method, weaken the National Association of Progressives as much as possible and attack the 'Animal Blood Potion' project. In the past two days, there have been seven
Nearly 200 members of the family have withdrawn from this organization. It is expected that there will be more and more such people in the next few days."
At this time, the old man with white hair and beard sitting at the top was also frowning.
"Hasn't Talossi Public Consulting responded yet? What did they say?"
"Not yet, father!"
John Adams shook his head: "My personal suggestion is not to put too much hope in these lobbyists. The strategy adopted by the other party is very smart. They are tied to the National Association of Progressives and our three families. If Congress wants to pass a thorough investigation of Atlanta
tragedy, and the proposal to sanction the Wildenstein Group, then our National Association of Progressives must also be sanctioned. This is
This means that they only need to control a small number of members to resist our offensive in Congress. Moreover, His Excellency the President seems to be unwilling to see this proposal passed, and is blocking it covertly and openly. Therefore, the Talosi Public
Although the consulting firm is the number one lobbying firm on Abraham K Street, I don’t think they can do anything about it.”
"Has he forgotten who helped him up?"
The old man snorted softly, then tightened his grip on his cane: "So, he didn't take our hints to heart, right?"
"As far as I know, the President has made some efforts, and he has contacted the Wildenstein family. However, Andre, he rejected the olive branch we extended."
John Adams sighed softly: "My father, I said, don't treat others as idiots. He knew that now was a good opportunity. The National Association of Progressives had to sue for peace with them no matter what. But it only took ten days to delay, and the association's
Most of the members will break away from it. And the Wildenstein family now only needs to bear a small price - "
"So what do you mean, John?" This was another energetic old man: "You are planning to stop the war against the Wildenstein family, right?"
"Yes! At least stop using force."
John Adams nodded slightly: "Based on what I know about them, as long as we stop our armed attacks, they will not take the initiative to provoke us. After all, they are still inferior in terms of manpower and war potential. But if the family must want
Save face, or give them something in return. Then I think the day when Anthony is promoted to legend is an excellent time. This should be soon, within ten to twenty days. It will be a battlefield that they cannot escape with their space capabilities.
——”
"What do you seem to have on your mind, John?"
The white-haired old man in the top position looked at John Adams thoughtfully: "Let's talk about it. If it's feasible -"

In the alchemy room of the 'Land of Destiny' magic tower, Li Mochen's main body and auxiliary bodies were all looking at the refining furnace in the center. At this time, a necklace was floating out of the furnace.
The pendant above is made from the wooden heart of the 'Blue Swamp Demonic Vine'. This object has been refined and condensed by Li Mochen into the size of two fingers. Then in the center, there is a blue gemstone inlaid on the front.
, and on the back is a black horny substance.
The gem is a mythical treasure called the 'Dikter Life Stone'. According to legend, Rhea, the second generation of the Greek Queen of Heaven and Mother Goddess of Heaven, and Cronus, the God King, gave birth to five children in succession, and they were all brutally devoured by Cronus.
.
So when she gave birth to Zeus, Rhea wrapped a stone in swaddling clothes and tricked the god King Cronus into swallowing it. This stone was the 'Dikter Life Stone'. Of course, a stone that could deceive a god king must be of high quality.
higher,
The black horn comes from a demi-god-level underworld creature, the 'Dark Dragon' - not a bone dragon or a dracolich, but a dragon that lives in the underworld and has the appearance of a bipedal flying dragon. The inside of their horns
Rich in the power of death, Li Mochen took a piece of it, which happened to correspond to the 'Dikter Life Stone'.
The necklace is made of the 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy provided by Anthony, and is woven into the shape of an olive leaf. Li Mochen carved dense magic patterns on it, but from the surface, it looks like an ordinary hollow gold chain.
Both. Because those lines are almost at the nanometer level and are contained in the overall carvings, ordinary people may not be able to find them even with a magnifying glass.
It is worth mentioning the 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy, which is a mixed metal made of more than seven mythical metals in a certain ratio and smelted using a special process. While retaining the characteristics of these mythical metals, it also
Eliminating their weaknesses. Therefore, this 'Magic Gold No. 7' is not only very strong, but also has good ability to guide magic, and can also strengthen the power of divine power and legal domain.
Thanks to this, the refining process of this necklace was very smooth. Li Mochen could easily carve the huge array of magic patterns he designed into the inside and outside of the necklace without worrying that it would not be able to withstand the pressure of the magic energy array and cause damage. Then
A wooden heart has also been able to retain most of its abilities, and has even been greatly enhanced.
Even the loss of merit was minimal, and it only took more than fifteen thousand strands of merit. Li Mochen now only needs a little more than a month to gather this amount of merit.
"It's finally done!"
When the flames under the alchemy furnace completely subsided, Li Mochen used his magic power and photographed the pendant he named 'Burial Soul' in front of him. While gently stroking it with his hand, there was also a trace of light in his eyes.
Complex color.
This mythical weapon was originally used by him to replace the 'Yin Yang Mirror of Life and Death' to challenge Philip I and others. As a result, when it was refined, Philip and all his wings were dead, and only the magicians remained.
Ron Edmund is still lingering in his kingdom of God.
Judging from its power, it seems to have been outdated the moment it was refined.
In Li Mochen's hands now, he already has the 'Scarlet Dragon Armor', the 'Sky Scepter', the 'Strong Divine Ring' and the 'Dragon Power', as well as the bracelet that Estantin is refining. And their power is the same as
The functions are all superior to this pendant.
But in fact, this thing still has great significance to Li Mochen.
First of all, this is the first 'artifact' that Li Mochen sacrificed. In the realm of the original sky, due to the thin spiritual power, even if Li Mochen accumulated tens of thousands of merits, he would not be able to complete a quasi-'artifact', let alone
It is an artifact-level treasure. This is more or less an experience, allowing him to deepen his understanding of the magic pattern array and alchemy.
Secondly, this thing allows Li Mochen to master a more powerful 'divine power of life and death'. Although this cannot be used on Philip I and others, his enemy is not just Philip I. After the latter's death, there are
National Association of Progressives, and Blood Tribe, etc.
Especially when dealing with those creatures between life and death, this necklace will be more useful than any mythical weapon.
When the two vampire princes Uhtred Jimmie and Clodal Vandro once again intervened in the war between him and Philip and others, Li Mochen had the idea of teaching the vampires a profound lesson. However, because of his own life and death,
The power has not yet reached the point where it can sweep everything, so it has not been implemented yet.
But Li Mochen also planned a time to counterattack, which was the day when this 'spiritual burial necklace' was made. Just from the name of this artifact, we can know that Li Mochen believed that it would be the 'burier' of all undead creatures.
He must make these bat monsters feel pain, just like what he said to Clodar Vandro before, either stay away, surrender, or die.
"What a pity——"
After Li Mochen touched and sensed it for a while, he sighed and put the 'spiritual burial pendant' on his neck.
He once again confirmed that the reason why this mythical weapon was successfully completed was not because of his high alchemy skills, but because the 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy material that Anthony half gave away and half sold was made of excellent alloy, which greatly increased the chance of success.
.
If the same materials were used by real great alchemists, this artifact would surely be even more powerful.
In addition, Li Mochen also coveted the formula of 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy, but this was the result of joint research and development between Anthony and several great alchemists from Light and Magic Industries. Therefore, although the two parties were close allies, Anthony could not
Quan revealed the complete recipe to him.
And when Li Mochen wore this 'Spirit Burying Necklace', a suit of Light Demon No. 8 armor, held a 'Sky Scepter', and had a 'Strong God Ring' on his finger, and walked out of the door of the magic tower, he discovered that
'The Enemy of Death' Thomson Baio has been waiting here for a long time.
The moment Li Mochen appeared, this person looked at him intently.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Little Mr. Wildenstein? The two of us are going to break into Saint Dessi? I have to say, this is really a very courageous idea. That is the blood king of the Vandro family in the New World.
All."
"Of course, I'm sure. I can't pay a deposit of 500 million in advance for an idea that hasn't been confirmed yet, can I?"
Li Mochen asked calmly: "Are you afraid? Beo?"
"Afraid? How is that possible?"
Thomson Baio crossed his arms and laughed loudly: "They can't kill me even if they hate the smell of my blood! I won't be afraid of those guys."
"If I were them, I would capture you and seal you in a coffin for hundreds of years."
Li Mochen's words made Thomson Baio's face visibly stiffen. But Li Mochen just pretended not to see him and made a move to summon his natal spiritual pet, Little Dragon Vein.
"This is a good way to deal with you, isn't it? So, Mr. Beo, if you decide to give up this mission, I can understand it, as long as you return the deposit."
"Why? The employment fee, including the deposit, totals two billion gold shields. Why should I give up? Such a generous employment was rarely encountered in the past few years."
Thomson Baio glanced sideways at the scepter in Li Mochen's hand, and regained some confidence: "If the situation goes wrong, you will use it to bring us out, right?"
"It depends on the situation. As an employer, it's up to you to ensure my safety, not the other way around."
"Okay, I just need you to apply the 'void' power of the 'Sky Scepter' to me. But Mr. Wildenstein, I heard that your people are now at war with the National Association of Progressives? And?
Are you launching attacks from three directions at the same time? If you act at this time, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to cope with it?"
"Your news is delayed, Mr. Beo. These three battles have ended. They don't have the confidence to fight me decisively, do they?"
Li Mochen thought to himself that this guy was indeed as verbose as the rumors.
At this time, his thoughts moved slightly, and he had already controlled the 'dragon vein' under his feet to break through the space barrier and slide into the void of the star realm.
Thomson Beo also shamelessly stood on Dragon Vein's back, which made the little Fire Dragon very unhappy. After twisting several times, but unable to get rid of Thomson Beo, he had no choice but to let it go.
.
It is mainly worried that it will cause discomfort to its owner if it twists too much.
Li Mochen knew that no matter how hard Xiao Longmai tried, he could not get rid of Thomson Beo. This guy's vitality, divine power of life, and sword skills were extremely powerful, but he also had good void abilities.
A part-time 'void warlock'.
It is not as good as the 'Void Night King' Delphinia, and the 'Star Boundary Agent' who died in his hands, but it is also beyond the level of most demigods, and has very outstanding teleportation
Ability, in this regard, is even superior to that of Xiaolongmai. Only by working together with him can the latter possess a void ability that is almost on par with the 'King of Void Night'.
About forty minutes later, they opened the space barrier again and entered the main material world.
The blood capital of the Vanzhuo family, Saint Desi, is located in Washington State on the west coast of America, 17,000 kilometers away from Atlanta.
If they were to control the 'Land of Destiny' magic tower, it would take them at least one to two days to arrive. But if it was just the two of them and one dragon, it would be much faster. With the current ability of Dragon Vein, it would take them 40 minutes
Enough.
This was because Li Mochen deliberately suppressed it and did not let Xiaolongmai go all out. If the loss of mana was not considered, fifteen minutes would be enough.
At this time, Li Mochen was almost fed up with Thomson Beo. This guy was tirelessly nagging in his ears on the way, even if Li Mochen closed his hearing, it was of no use. Thomson Beo mastered the method of soul communication, and he could
Using his own spiritual thoughts to pour all kinds of thoughts into him was even more troublesome than before he closed his hearing.
When the two communicated using voices, Thomson Baio could still speak sentence by sentence, but after switching to soul communication, he was able to bombard hundreds of different thoughts at the same time, which made people's scalp numb.
It is impossible for Li Mochen to completely block his six senses. This is a very dangerous behavior in the star realm, and it is also easy to be attacked by strong people.
"Is this Saint Desi?"
After entering the main material world, the two stood at an altitude of 20,000 meters, looking down to their south.
On the surface, Saint Desire is just an ordinary small town, with a population of only about 20,000. The atmosphere is peaceful, quiet, and leisurely, no different from most small towns in America.
However, this is the Vendro family of the Vampire Camarilla, the original base in America. Nearly 70% of the upper-class vampires of the Vendro clan of the Camarilla gather here. They abide by the rules of 'hidden', 'dominance' and 'descendants'.
, the six secret party commandments of 'responsibility', 'respect' and 'killing' coexist with some humans in this town, and have been hidden in the human society of America to this day.
"Did you see that?"
Thomson Baio pointed below: "Under those hills, there are all vampire tombs. This town looks very ordinary, but the magic energy array around it is of mythical level. I heard that in the early years, the CIA planned
There was no way to arrest a member of the Fanzhuo family who committed murder, but he was blocked from this town. Until these vampires were concerned about the social impact and took the initiative to hand over the guy. And now we are ready to kick the iron plate.
Kick it up."
At this time, he looked slightly stern: "Look! Those old guys have noticed it and they are waking up."
