Outside accommodation.
As the headquarters of the Fire Mist Warriors, it was as peaceful as ever. But what was different from before was that everyone who came and went, whether they were humans or Fire Mist Warriors, had solemn expressions on their faces.
The Red World's attacks on the outside world's host in various places have become more and more fierce recently. From the existing intelligence, it can be inferred that the most powerful organization among the Red World's followers, the "Masquerade", is taking action. Although it is still unknown what the "Masquerade" wants to do, it is obvious that these guys must be hiding some conspiracy.
For the Fire Mist Warriors, this is their daily work, but now, what is causing a splash in the river is a strange piece of information.
"Hey, have you heard? About that matter..."
"Ranger..."
The nun sitting on the chair fell into deep silence while looking at the information in her hand. She was the "King of Shocking Power" Zoffy Saborishu, who had a high reputation among the Fire Mist Warriors. She was also the commander-in-chief of the outer host at the front line. At the moment, what made her frown was the information just transmitted from the rear.
The above records two mysterious figures that suddenly appeared in the past month.
One is a Red World guy, and the other is... a human.
It has to be said that this combination easily reminds people of the long-famous "The Promised Two". However, these two people are fundamentally different from "The Promised Two".
John, one of the "promised two", was once a human, but in order to stay with Phyllis, the Red World Devil, for the rest of his life, he transformed himself into "Mistis" and created the secret treasure "Midnight Lost". It can be said that at that time he was no longer a pure human.
But this man is different from John. According to the report of the Fire Mist Warrior who met him, he is still a human being and has always been a human being. At the same time, unlike what people imagine, the Red World enslaves humans. Judging from the situation of these two people, it is obvious that the Red World girl is more dependent on the human male.
If that were all, then for the Fire Mist Warriors it would just be some idle chat after dinner, but the problem was that the actions of these two people were not as simple as everyone thought.
Unlike the "promised two" who did not have any disputes with other fire mist warriors and red world people, but just sprinkled dog food in their own sweet world, these two people seemed to be traveling around aimlessly, but their actions were quite intense.
If they see the man-eating Red World Clan and there are no Fire Mist Warriors nearby, they will immediately attack and destroy them.
But if there are fire mist warriors, they will just watch the show from the sidelines.
But this does not mean that the two people are easy to bully, because if any fire mist warrior dares to attack them, he will immediately be met with a ruthless counterattack.
Of course, they can only say that they asked for trouble when they encountered such a situation. But the problem is that these two people are not just hunting the Red World.
It will also attack the Fire Mist Warriors.
Since these two people appeared, they have successively eliminated more than a dozen Red World followers and four or five Fire Mist Warriors. Sometimes, they even helped the Red World followers escape the pursuit and capture of the Fire Mist Warriors. It is completely incomprehensible what these two are thinking.
It is for this reason that these two people are called "Raiders" by the Fire Mist Warriors and the Red World.
However, Sister Zoffy does not think so.
"Commander, is that intelligence about the 'Ranger'?"
The young man standing in front of the desk, carrying a large jar on his back, looked at the information in Zoffy's hand curiously, and then asked. Zoffy nodded when he heard his question.
"I asked the outside world to collect and organize the verifiable battle records of the 'Raiders', and found some problems. You see..."
As she spoke, the nun placed the information on the table, then reached out and pointed to the list.
"This is a list of the Red World's criminals who were defeated and eliminated by the Rangers."
"...Seraha the Gnawing Thug, Danster the Savage Fury...they are both very dangerous people from the Red World."
Looking at the names on it, the young man was shocked. He had heard rumors about the "Raiders" from the Fire Mist Warriors before, but at that time the Fire Mist Warriors also focused on the angle of "why a human would run around with a Red World Cultist", so they ignored their combat effectiveness. But now, after seeing this list, the young man realized how terrible the strength of these two people was. The Red World Cultists they eliminated were all notorious in this world. Not only were they cruel and tyrannical, they liked to devour humans, and their combat effectiveness was also extremely strong. It can even be said that if there were a few Red World Cultists among them, even the Fire Mist Warriors might not be able to easily win.
"Yes, and this is the list of the Fire Mist Warriors they killed."
"... Chris, the 'Killing Blade', Senna, the 'Dawnbreaker'... Wait, aren't these all..."
"That's right."
Looking at the young man in front of her with a surprised expression, Zoffy nodded. She certainly understood why he was so surprised. Although the Fire Mist Warriors were to protect the balance of the world, after all, most of them were originally motivated by revenge. Therefore, there were many Fire Mist Warriors who would fight to eliminate the Red World and even ignored the casualties around them. These guys were also considered the "thorns" among the "Fire Mist Warriors".
And now, some of them have been included in the death list.
“… Could it be that…”
Seeing this, the young man already had some vague ideas in his heart, and he went on to look at the list of Fire Mist Warriors and Red World Cultists who were protected by the other party... As expected, unlike the previous "death list", most of the Fire Mist Warriors and Red World Cultists on this "guardian list" were of the honest type, who were either dedicated to protecting humans, or were the type who rarely caused trouble and did not eat humans at all.
"This is the report from the Fire Mist Warriors who met with them."
As she spoke, the nun took out another stack of intelligence, shook her head helplessly and laughed bitterly. In these reports, the Fire Mist Warriors had all kinds of opinions about the "Raiders". Some of them were loyal to their duties, and after noticing that a powerful Red World Demon King was trying to eat people, they went to stop him, and were almost killed by the two. And these Fire Mist Warriors had very good and positive comments about the two "Raiders".
But some of the hot-tempered Fire Mist Warriors had the opposite experience. Most of them, like Marjolin, believed that all the Red World followers should die, so as soon as they found a Red World follower, they would rush up to fight, regardless of whether the opponent was good or bad. And these Fire Mist Warriors were all severely punished by the two "Raiders" and were beaten half-crippled. Fortunately, they were Fire Mist Warriors, otherwise they would have died.
And that’s not all…
"Are they... conducting an investigation?"
After reading the report in front of him, the young man looked confused. No wonder he had such an expression, because according to the reports of these Fire Mist Warriors, no matter whether the Rangers were friends or enemies, they would ask the Fire Mist Warriors to answer their questions after the battle. And these questions were almost all about humans. Not only that, the man seemed to have a very unique method to directly judge whether you were telling the truth or lying... But overall, they looked more like investigators who were researching something.
"Based on this, perhaps the Red World's followers have also conducted the same investigations, of course, except for those they killed..."
"But...what's the point of this?"
Putting down the report in his hand, the man looked doubtful and confused.
"What on earth do they want to do by doing this?"
"I don't know either."
Faced with this question, the nun slowly shook her head, but then she added a sentence.
"However... according to the information sent from the outside world, the lost child of Zero Hour is in their hands."
"You mean..."
Hearing the nun's words, the young man's expression changed slightly.
"This is a report from the Eastern European branch. They seem to be planning to snatch the 'Lost Child of Zero Hour' before Lord Xingli takes action. Currently, they are looking for the 'Wanderer' who is rumored to have the 'Lost Child of Zero Hour'..."
"But……"
"I know, but the Eastern European branch is quite confident. Now we can only hope..."
At this point, the nun sighed.
"I just hope... they don't have any conflicts."
