Mysterious email out of nowhere
Reisender Harbor as the capital of Left Bank Paradise Star is naturally a global wealth gathering place, with millions of years of construction making this metropolis of millions of people incredibly prosperous.
In the port of Hot Sand, the most magnificent one is the Governor's Mansion. The current governor is the youngest brother of the Emperor of the Empire, and sending him here to be the governor is purely for his enjoyment.
Across from the Governor's Mansion, one block away, there is a delicate garden. Deep within the garden, that beautiful white sandstone villa is the Imperial Department's office on the Left Bank of Paradise Star.
The name is called the Office of Affairs, but the level of the person in charge here is not low, and it's actually a Major General. Major General Ye Wenshuai is considered to be a direct descendant of the royal family, but he can't compare with the likes of Ye Tian and Ye Fei in terms of lineage.
At this time, Ye Wenshuai was sitting in the office, looking up at the holographic screen projecting the real-time battle situation of the Rocky Mountains, and the officer beside him was casually reporting to Major General.
"The Rocky Mountain martial arts competition has entered its second day, and judging from the current situation, the intensity is far greater than in previous years. So far, 28 teams have been eliminated, and a total of 41 medals have been found. The competition has reached a boiling point..."
Just as the subordinate was reporting to General Xiang with a smile, a deputy officer suddenly rushed in from outside the office, without even knocking on the door or shouting "report", and directly burst in.
"Something's gone wrong! Five members of the Pokémon Training Camp have suddenly lost all vital signs..."
Everyone in the room was stunned, and Ye Wenshuai jumped up from his chair in shock. "What does it mean? What is 'disappearance of vital signs'?"
"It's very likely that he's dead..." The deputy officer panted and said.
This is the bottom of the house, and it's a big deal. The brutal dragon training camp is the most elite brutal dragon fighting team set up by the Imperial Department itself. This meritorious team has almost participated in every battle of the empire for a hundred years, and their achievements are enough to build a museum.
But today, five reserve members of the Violent Dragon actually died on the training ground. How can this extremely protective army let it go? The most deadly thing is that the Violent Dragon Strike Team and the Grand Princess have a very close relationship. That furious woman makes people afraid just thinking about her.
"Damn it, damn it, I'm so unlucky!" Ye Wenshuai cursed in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm.
"Don't be in a flurry, let the supervision team come in immediately, go and investigate personally, if there's life, see the person, if there's death, see the corpse, don't rely so much on computers"
Just as the military department's White Building was in a state of chaos, a thousand miles away at the Rocky Mountain martial arts arena, an ominous atmosphere was quietly spreading.
The Ice Dragon Military Academy was led by Baron's heir, Relok. On the second day's evening, Relok suddenly received a top-secret email from outside.
"Huh? How can this terminal, which is only for exercises, receive external emails? Aren't all the numbers blocked?" Lelouch was very puzzled. According to normal procedure, during the ten-day exercise period, the terminal's calling function should be blocked, leaving only the most basic map query function.
Arthur leaned over from the side "What's it to you, just take a look. Anyway, the number is also an internal number of our college, they won't harm you..."
When Laylock opened the email, he was already stunned after just two glances. "What the heck? The academy is actually asking us to withdraw from the competition, and it's an immediate withdrawal request... And it's an email from Instructor Zongyan..."
Tan Baihe and Thomas grabbed the terminal together, nervously busy for a whole minute, and both exclaimed "This is not fake, this is a real email, it's really from the college's religious officer!"
One sentence made the whole team immediately silent, thinking for half a day, Leiluo was so angry that he punched a rock and shattered it. "No way, I don't accept this! We weren't first in the Ice Dragon competition last time, why do we have to withdraw? This is my first time leading a team in a competition, am I supposed to start with shame?"
On this exercise field, it's not just the Ice Dragon people who are furious. In a deep valley, five brave warriors from the Elite Fighting Academy were also confused, and they had also received an email from their own academy.
"What's going on now? We only have 5 medals in our hands, and this achievement is still not enough to be ashamed of when we go back?"
"Right? Has the academy gone mad? How can they give such a ridiculous order? Do you think it's possible that our opponents forged it? Especially Ice Dragon and his gang."
"How is it possible? They're holding the same devices as us. No matter how powerful they are, it's impossible to hack into the academy's system!"
Just as everyone was discussing, the captain of the elite fighting squad spoke up. "The academy's orders cannot be disobeyed, I have decided to make a big move tomorrow, grab more medals, and announce our withdrawal from the competition tomorrow night... Damn it, when I get back, the academy must give me an explanation, otherwise, I'll go to the Three Seas Military Department and sue them..."
This evening, many teams received a secret email requesting to withdraw from the competition, and without exception, they were all real and had a very high encryption level.
The mastermind behind this matter is Mr. Ya from the Hot Sand Harbor, who was originally scheduled to be in charge of the Left Bank Paradise. Due to the unexpected outbreak of Blood Shadow, he had to adjust his plan and move forward with most of it ahead of schedule.
The competition between the eldest princess and the second princess has become increasingly fierce in recent years, as the second princess has come of age and is naturally talented, attracting the attention of countless ambitious families. In the past few years, the second princess's momentum in recruiting troops and buying horses has been extremely rapid.
On the left bank of Paradise Star, countless training camps, except for Ice Dragon and Elite Fighting, these top-notch academies can maintain relative neutrality, while other small and medium-sized training camps have long since chosen to line up with teams. Of course, like Black Horse, this kind of trash academy that no one wants is not wanted by anyone.
Blood Shadow emerges, Mr. Ya naturally knows its terrifying aspects, this biological weapon is the product of top scientists and magicians working together, although it can only be considered a semi-finished product, but its strength has already surpassed that of a 7th dan martial artist. Challenging these student soldiers is no problem at all.
The only drawback is that this biochemical warrior is too violent, and doesn't distinguish between friend or foe. Once it goes on a rampage, it basically kills anyone in sight. Mr. Ya has only one controller under his command, but unfortunately he's not currently on the planet. To avoid any accidental injuries, he can only notify his allied forces to quickly retreat, as for how many of Princess Er's subordinates die, that's none of his concern.
The direct descendant of the Grand Duchess is preparing to withdraw, and the Ice Dragon and Elite Fighting University, which neither side dares to offend, also need to be notified by Mr. Ya. It's clear that these universities don't want to stir up trouble, so after weighing their options again and again, they order their teams to withdraw from the competition.
That night, some of the weaker academies chose to withdraw from the competition, and land vehicles flew back and forth in the wilderness.
"What's going on? It's so lively tonight! Three cars have flown away within half an hour?" Qian Yun muttered in a low voice, on high alert.
"Hey, Rice Bucket, did that weird corpse leave or what? If we go back, won't there be any danger?"
Lu Li glared at him and said "You're greedy for money again, aren't you? You've been eyeing the money inside all along."
"Isn't this nonsense? Don't you like money? Not to mention others, Mary's mother's surgery cost money, didn't it? You've always wanted to buy a minivan for your family, doesn't that need money? And Merlin, he's been saving up for his retirement, he's always wanted to be a farm owner, which requires even more money..."
"You're still alive without money...". Before the words were even finished, a very faint sound of gravel collision suddenly came from 100 meters away in the darkness.
That sound immediately startled Qian Yun, he stretched out his hand to cover Lu Li's mouth, and tensely looked in the direction where the sound came from. At this time, Wu Chang and others also discovered the anomaly, and several people dispersed instantly, among whom Mary also kicked away the small bonfire.
Before the flames were completely extinguished, several figures emerged from the darkness and instantly surrounded Wu Chang's team. The ambushers didn't make a move, but instead quietly watched the surrounded Black Horse Team with mocking gazes in their eyes.
"Hei Ma Camp? Isn't that the Hei Ma Camp that had conflicts with Xing Tang before?" a figure in the darkness said.
"That's right, it was the Black Horse Camp. I heard that a magical flame suddenly appeared on the stage and burned to death an outer head of the Xing Tang Hui. This matter also spread for several days in Reedsand Port, but now no one mentions it anymore..."
He cautiously stared at the figure in the darkness, just as he was about to ask a question, the person opposite him spoke up first. "We are members of the Elite Fighting Academy, running into you is your bad luck. Leave your badges behind, I don't want to use force..."
Taking a few deep breaths, Wu Changqi finally calmed down. He had thought that the Violent Dragon gang was arrogant enough, but unexpectedly, another group of even more arrogant people showed up at night.
"Almost gave up, you think we're some kind of elite fighters? How can you be sure we have medals on our hands? You know we're just a cannon fodder battalion, a battalion that only produces infantry cannon fodder... how could we possibly find something as valuable as medals..."
The tone was filled with endless self-mockery, but the person opposite simply ignored the tone and said lightly, "Then take off your clothes, let's check. If it's true, we'll naturally let you go."
The tone is too calm, as calm as plain water, and this calmness exudes endless reasonableness. Snatching your things is just like taking things from your own home with a sense of righteousness.
As for saying undressing and checking, it makes people feel like it's a matter of course. This calm tone made Wu Chang very uncomfortable, he felt that this person spoke as if sitting on the edge of a sheepfold, casually discussing which sheep to slaughter for dinner.
I am the master and you are a sheep. Even if I were to kill you, it would be justified by heaven and earth. Not to mention plucking your wool.
"If I say no..." Before the unpredictable words were finished, a figure flashed by like lightning from beside the fire pit and punched Merlin's stomach, making him sweat profusely.
No one expected that these elite fighters would be so quick and ruthless in their actions. As soon as they appeared, they took control of everyone except Wu Chang.
Mei Lin crouched on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. Mary's hand rested lightly on his neck, as if ready to snap it at any moment. Meanwhile, Ruri and Qian Xun were in an even more precarious situation, having been kicked by their enemy onto a rock face, with two daggers pressed against their throats.
"Heh heh" The boisterous warrior in the darkness laughed, walked to the edge of the fire pit, gathered those glowing red branches together, added some dry firewood, and soon the small camp was brightly lit.
"My name is Sima Wu, I'm a reasonable person. If you hand over the medal, I'll let you off. Your qualification for the competition has not been lost, and you still have eight days to search for the medal. I believe you will definitely gain something..."
"But now, hand over the medals, we need them urgently. By the way, my brothers are all fourth-grade warriors, your team members are simply no match for us..."
Now that things have come to this, Wu Chang has no choice but to admit defeat. However, even in defeat, Wu Chang wants to make one final gamble. He takes out the gold-plated medal from his pocket and gently places it on the rock.
"The medal is yours, you can take it, but I have a proposal..."
"Dare you or not to bet with me, let's have a fair duel, the winner gets this medal, and the loser automatically gives up the competition..."
Simawei gave Wu Chong a meaningful glance, "You're really good at plotting, you know that gangbeating you won't gain any advantage, so you came up with this provocative method? But I'm very curious, why are you so confident in your own strength?"
