Chapter 4011: Choice
Conquer the northern shore of the sea, Navaha.
Inside the dim room, a woman named Garcia sat on a single sofa with a stern face as she listened to the words of her subordinates. Because she was worried about the survival of the church's fleet in the port, she specially sent people to inquire about the purpose of the church's arrival in Navaha, but the result surprised her.
"You mean... there are investigators from the court on their way here? The church is gathering people in Navaha?"
With a solemn expression, Garcia said to the young man in front of him, and the other party answered with certainty.
"Yes! Before, Pablo and I were outside the church looking for the target in the dream. Pablo chose a nun in a white nun's uniform, and I chose an officer. In my dream, the officer asked him why the church fleet had been docked at the port and did not leave. He replied that he was waiting for the investigator from Troyes. When I was about to ask him for details, Pablo screamed and woke me up. Then I immediately ran back to avoid the church workers.
"Ma'am, if there were no signs of heretical activities, the church would not easily send out investigators! Since they are rushing towards us, it must be that we have exposed something and they have noticed it..."
The young man spoke to Garcia with a nervous and worried tone. After hearing his words, Garcia couldn't help but be silent for a while. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak to the young man in front of her.
"Okay, I know the general situation, you can go down first."
"yes…"
Responding to Garcia's words, the young man relaxed his nervous expression and stepped back. After a while, he walked out of the room. After the young man left, Garcia turned her head and looked to the side. Not far away from her, standing there was Gomez with the same serious expression.
"Gomez... do you think... the church has really noticed us?" Garcia said this to Gomez, and Gomez answered slowly with a worried tone.
"From the intelligence that Pablo and his team gathered tonight... I'm afraid the church has really caught us. According to the tradition of the church, if a search officer is sent to a place, it almost means that there are heresy and pagan problems that need to be dealt with in this place. In the whole Navaha... except for us, there are no other secret forces..."
Gomez muttered with a worried look on his face. Because the church fleet at the port belonged to military personnel such as the Knights, Gomez thought that he might not be exposed and the fleet came to Navaha for other reasons. But now that even the investigators have been dispatched, this thought is completely untenable.
"Humph... Given the current situation, if you want to say that we haven't been exposed at all, then you are just deceiving yourself. I didn't expect that after all the effort we put into covering it up, we would still be exposed in the end. I wonder to what extent those charlatans have mastered our intelligence?"
Garcia snorted coldly, rubbed his forehead and said anxiously, while Gomez beside him spoke after pondering.
"From what I can see so far, although that group of charlatans have noticed our presence, they probably don't know too much about it. Otherwise, they would have come to us by now, and they wouldn't have specifically called for an investigator...
"I think there was something wrong with our concealment measures, which caused the group of charlatans at the port to notice something was wrong, and then they immediately notified the investigators to come here to search... They may even have a rough idea of who we are and what abilities we have, so they were prepared for the dream trap. I suspect that Pablo died because he ran into their defenses. The nun he chose to perform the dream trap is likely an important figure among this group of charlatans."
Gomez analyzed calmly. After listening to Gomez's words, Garcia paused slightly, and the anxiety in his eyes became even more intense.
"So... maybe these port shamans were just here to serve us, but during this process... they somehow noticed us, and now they're calling for investigators to investigate us further... Damn it... what on earth went wrong!"
Garcia gritted her teeth and said this secretly, while Gomez beside her continued to speak with a serious expression.
"Ms. Garcia, our top priority right now is to find a way to deal with the investigators in Troyes. Although those charlatans in the port may not be able to do anything to us for the time being, the result will be different when the investigators arrive. They are professionals in dealing with secret organizations like us!
"Ms. Garcia... I think we should evacuate Navaha before the investigators arrive!"
Gomez suggested to Garcia, but Garcia looked at him coldly and spoke directly.
"Retreat? Are you kidding, Gomez? Yes, we can retreat, but don't forget that the 'pupa' cannot retreat. If we all retreat and only leave the 'pupa' in Navaha, it would be like handing it over to the charlatan investigators! All our efforts over the years would be completely wasted!"
Garcia spoke to Gomez in a stern voice, and Gomez immediately responded after hearing Garcia's words.
"Yes...if we withdraw now, it's equivalent to giving up on the 'Chrysalis'. But Ms. Garcia, if the investigators come, they will join forces with the group of knights at the port and become a powerful force that we can't resist. With such a force, we can't defend the 'Chrysalis'. If we force ourselves to defend it, the only outcome will be that we and the 'Chrysalis' will be destroyed together by them!"
Gomez explained to Garcia urgently, hoping that Garcia would agree to his suggestion and withdraw from Navaja before the investigator arrived. After listening to Gomez's words, Garcia did not respond immediately. Instead, he thought for a long time with a calm face, and then slowly opened his mouth to answer.
"No... We can't give up the 'Chrysalis'..."
"Don't give up... But Ms. Garcia, don't give up..."
"If we don't give up, we also have a way to save the 'Pupa'... and even save ourselves..." Garcia said to Gomez with a solemn look, and after hearing what Garcia said, Gomez was slightly startled, and then asked.
"Ms. Garcia, what do you mean?"
"Gomez, I've decided. I'm going to speed up the growth of the 'pupa' and hatch it immediately. As long as the thing inside can break out of the pupa in advance, not only can we escape unscathed, but we won't even have to take those charlatans at the port seriously..."
Garcia spoke to Gomez in an extremely serious tone, and Gomez was stunned for a while after hearing it, and then he slowly opened his mouth.
"Eggs and 'pupa' in advance? Ms. Garcia, this would be very risky. Whether it can be accelerated or not is not the question. Even if it is accelerated, the thing that breaks out of the normal procedure will definitely have a lot of congenital problems... The result is uncontrollable... Do we really want to do this?"
"Of course... For both us and the entire group, the 'Pupa' must not be easily abandoned. Rather than handing it over to those charlatans and then being destroyed, it is better to let it reap the fruits now... no matter what the fruits will become..."
Garcia spoke to Gomez with a serious expression, his face showing a determination to go all out. After seeing Garcia's performance, Gomez nodded silently and said yes.
