The conference hall was in chaos. It was safe and sound a few hours ago, but now it was stained with blood, the blood of the top manager of the Wusen Empire.
"I asked the guards and no one went in after we left. The room is protected by magic and no one can enter here unnoticed. This can only mean that the prisoner is among the few people we attended the meeting.
Unless the guard has been bribed."
The leader of the Leopard People tribe said coldly. At this time, they gathered in the conference hall again to discuss countermeasures. After he finished speaking, the faces of the other tribe leaders varied, some were angry, some frowned in thought, and some were bitter.
His face was sullen, as if he was worried.
In addition to the human representative Mel and the two observers, the leader of the Kobold tribe is not here, and the killer Liuliu is personally guarding the injured Hala.
"Could they, those guards, be shapeshifters in disguise?"
The leader of the mouse clan asked cautiously. This question immediately aroused the other party's anger.
"You mean I chatted with a few shapeshifters for a long time, and all I got in the end was a bunch of useless lies? Save it, you smart mouse, if they are shapeshifters, then you may also be a shapeshifter in disguise.
Do you want me to help you peel off your skin to see if you are a shapeshifter in mouse skin?"
"How dare you threaten me! I think you are the shapeshifter!"
"That's enough! Now is not the time for internal fighting!"
The leader of the half-horse clan scolded, his voice drowning out the two of them, instantly making the room quiet.
"We still have a lot to do, but we don't have time to waste here. First, we investigate the matter thoroughly and find the culprit. This is the most important thing. Second, the missing empress is a huge hidden danger.
We must find her. Third, I am afraid you have also noticed that the masses are becoming more and more uneasy, and it is easiest to be incited at this time. Every clan leader must send out personnel to pay close attention to the trends in the city, and do not let go of any signs."
Hearing this, the Leopard People nodded and said: "I will send four hundred people to patrol, but this is far from enough. We need more people."
"The underground waterway was dug by our little tribe. I can have someone conduct a comprehensive investigation."
The leader of the mouse tribe said.
The half-horse tribe leader nodded, and the snake tribe leader and lizard tribe leader searched the forest and swamp.
"We also need the help of men in black. They know every corner of the city. They are definitely more professional than us in finding people. But the strange thing is that no one knows where their headquarters is, not even the killer in black.
He is also very mysterious."
The leader of the Leopard People complained.
"They report directly to the top managers and the devil, and their jobs are far harder than ours."
The half-horse clan leader took a deep breath and continued: "I will talk to Mr. Liuliu about this matter. Let's go first and deal with our respective matters first."
"Wait a minute, everyone, have you forgotten anything?"
The leader of the mouse tribe suddenly said.
Everyone suddenly realized that it was those three people, the elves who always stayed out of the matter, the former Demon General Orc Zeba, and the people who caused these problems.
The Demon King's apprentice, Reina.
They are so tricky.
"The human wants help, and the orc general wants us to support their empire. If we leave them alone, I'm afraid they won't be able to settle down."
The leader of the Leopard People said.
The half-horse clan leader sighed and said: "We can't satisfy their demands at the same time, especially at this time, we absolutely can't let anyone out. Let them wait first, and wait until the situation stabilizes. I will send people to monitor
them."
"They are very anxious. Is there anything we can do to keep them waiting?"
"I have my own way. Instead of worrying about these problems, we should deal with what we have first. Everyone, the enemy is still ready to move. We must unite as one. Their next target may be you and me."
After saying that, the half-horse clan leader turned and left. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Everyone noticed the blood stains on the wall that had not been cleaned yet. This reminded them that since Hala would be stabbed, what about them? No one could
have no idea.
…
An anxious Rena paced back and forth in the room, her face looked sad, as if she was worrying about two things today.
The patriarchs asked her to stay in the room, and she waited until evening. Others brought dinner, and no one came to tell her what happened. Those people seemed to have forgotten her and left her here.
She was wondering if she should go out and ask for details, or if she could find Bai Ling's whereabouts. Although this proposal was rejected by the half-horse clan leader, Reina still wanted to do something.
It would have been better if she hadn't been brought here.
Reina couldn't help but think.
She would never have imagined that things would become so troublesome and difficult. She would rather face the army of evil spirits alone than see such a thing happen.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the corridor outside. Reina immediately walked to the door and opened the door before the other party knocked on the door.
Sure enough, it was the half-horse clan leader.
His body was huge, and his lower body was that of a horse. There were many rooms that he could not enter, so he stood in front of the door. Since the corridor was not wide, he could only face the door sideways in order not to block the corridor.
As soon as she saw Reina, a friendly smile appeared on her serious face. Among all the clan leaders, he was the one whom Reina felt closer to, even though he didn't seem to be easy to mess with.
"Good evening, Rena-sama, is today's dinner to your liking?"
Reina felt uncomfortable being called "sama" by others. She quickly opened the door and asked, "How is Hara? Is she okay?"
Hearing this, the half-horse clan leader kept smiling, but lowered his head silently. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he did not want to lie to Reina.
"I shouldn't talk about this in a place like this, but...she is fine. She just injured her internal organs and it will take some time to recover. She is still in a coma."
"Can I go see her?"
"It's best not to. I know you have good intentions, but before she wakes up, I hope you can stay here and not go anywhere."
Reina frowned, obviously unable to accept the other party's proposal, she had something important to come here.
The clan leader saw what was on her mind and continued: "It won't take long. I promise you, you won't waste your time here. We will send reinforcements to help you defeat the enemy, but that must be done by our Wusen Empire."
I believe it won't take long after you settle down."
His words really made Reina feel at ease, and she understood what the other party meant. This was also a threat. If she left the room at will, she might not get any help from the Karasu Empire.
