Chapter 464 Backstab
Aquamarine Kingdom, the temporary headquarters of the Embers Organization.
Night has fallen, and a pale silver crescent moon hangs on the horizon, covering a pot of bluebells on the windowsill with a layer of flowing silver-white luster.
In the quiet study, with the faint moonlight outside the window, Avis was leisurely leaning back on a carved white star wood recliner, flipping through a thick book with a slightly moving eyeball on the cover, learning the secret knowledge recorded in it.
As a famous ninth-level ultimate artifact, the various secret techniques recorded in Heros's Infinite Grimoire have a real improvement on his current level of magic.
This book contains detailed records of top secret techniques, including the long-lost Styx reincarnation and life hiding techniques.
After an unknown amount of time, Avis closed his eyes slightly, closed the book in his hand, and gently rubbed his brows with his fingers to recover more than half of his mental strength.
With a rank lower than the eighth rank, even he would find it difficult to forcibly read a magic book of the ninth rank.
Currently, the growth of his personal professional strength has stagnated again, and he can only make up for it temporarily through learning.
Although some power was fed back to him after the Old Secret Scriptures sealed the black pyramid, the speed was very slow and the amount was not much, which was completely incomparable to the power feedback when sealing various things related to ancient existences.
Of course, he could understand the reason for this difference. After all, one was the original body, and the other was not even a wreck, but a wreck of a wreck.
I looked up at the night scene outside the window. At this moment, the Silver Moon Sevien had reached the middle of the sky.
After putting away the book, Avis stood up and walked to the French window, staring at the night view outside.
The environment around the outpost was dark and quiet, with unknown birds chirping hoarsely on the branches of the big chestnut tree. The torches of several soldiers on duty flickered slightly in the darkness, like dim red stars.
Tonight is the last day before the general offensive. According to the secret plan of Avis and other high-ranking members of the resistance organizations, tomorrow morning, the Spark, Embers, Sunshine and other resistance organizations will jointly launch a long-awaited joint operation.
Try to concentrate your forces, create a time difference, and annihilate the flank of the Kingdom Army with absolute superiority before the Kingdom Army's support arrives.
It does sound like a good plan, but many people know that there will inevitably be unexpected events during this operation.
“Knock knock knock—”
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
"I remember that I had previously instructed that no one was allowed to disturb me tonight unless the coalition forces of those kingdoms had already arrived here, right, Mitchell?"
Avis stood in the silver moonlight in front of the French window with his hands behind his back, without looking back.
At the same time, a seventh-level peak rebel leader entered the room and saluted Avis.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I just received an urgent intelligence. It is of great importance and is related to tomorrow's joint counterattack. I must report it to you immediately."
After explaining in a low voice, Mitchell's speech gradually became faster.
"Regarding tomorrow's operation, I have obtained confidential information from my informant. Some high-ranking members of the organization have colluded with outsiders and are preparing to rebel at a critical moment, and then use this as a token of surrender to join other organizations."
You are absolutely right, and the most senior of those who colluded with foreign enemies is now standing before you.
After listening to Mitchell's words, Avis finally turned around, but his expression was still very calm, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"According to my investigation, the list of members involved in this incident includes..."
Completely unaware of Avis's intentions, Mitchell immediately reported the results of his own investigation. Several senior executives in the organization who were controlled by Avis were all included in the list.
"…Good job, Mitchell, I get it."
Waiting quietly for him to finish, Avis nodded.
"Tomorrow, I will verify what you said and temporarily re-adjust their positions."
Watching this 'loyal' subordinate leave, Avis tapped the table with his fingers.
Mitchell was not a subordinate controlled by him with the Seed of Distortion, but a professional who chose to join the Ashes organization on his own initiative.
Out of instinctive caution, he did not explain anything to Mitchell, because he was not sure whether this person would tell his words to other organizations in order to gain benefits after leaving.
Before he knew it, more than a year had passed since he came to the Federation.
As the situation has developed to this point, there is no need for the Embers organization to continue to exist for him.
It will be soon. When this war is over, he will be able to go home soon.
…
Nothing happened that night and the next day arrived quickly.
The next morning, the counterattack officially began.
They sent out small armies to harass the enemy on the front battlefield in the usual exploratory manner.
In secret, the main professional forces of the three major resistance organizations have already been assembled, and there is even more than one ninth-level person in person to support them.
Then, taking advantage of the enemy's dispersed forces, the clarion call for a counterattack was officially sounded.
The mountains were filled with low- and middle-level professionals, wearing huge constructed armors, and under the protection of the constructed motherships and mechanical flying dragons in the sky, they rushed towards the unprepared kingdom coalition forces at an extremely high speed.
From time to time, blazing beams of magic power fell from the sky, exploding into destructive mushroom clouds on the ground. Even though the magician regiment accompanying the Kingdom Alliance had erected a wide-area shield, it was quickly smashed and penetrated.
On a huge battlefield of this scale, the role of personal bravery was diluted to an extremely weak level.
Except for the Calamity-level warriors above level seven, everyone else can only be regarded as an ordinary part of this flesh-and-blood grinder. If they are unlucky enough to be affected by the attack of strategic-level magic, they will die inexplicably.
On one side of the battlefield, watching the two professional armies fighting fiercely, Leo sat in the rear of the army to prevent some special magic methods, and at the same time, when the enemy ninth-level couldn't help but attack, he would snipe the opponent.
However, although his eyes were fixed on the front battlefield, his peripheral vision would drift towards the "friendly" camp from time to time, making him seem a little absent-minded.
A moment later, the change he had been waiting for finally happened.
As if unable to withstand the fierce attack of the enemy, several foreign troops of the Embers Organization, led by captains above level seven, suddenly began to fight and retreat in the direction of other friendly forces.
When the friendly forces helped them block the enemy, these people suddenly flashed their eyes and launched a fatal attack on the backs of these defenseless companions! However, the result of the attack was slightly different from what they expected.
Originally, they expected to knock down at least half of them on the spot with this wave of attacks.
But the reality is that the number of people who actually get infected is less than one-tenth.
At the critical moment, many high-level professionals of the Spark Organization took direct action to protect the troops that were attacked.
At the same time, several legions of the Embers Organization turned against them on the spot, killing the players who had accepted the "secret mission" and directly put on the emblems of the Spark Organization.
Before these players could figure out the situation, they received a system prompt.
[The resistance organization 'Embers' has been disbanded, and the camp's reputation and contribution have been cleared. ]
