Having spent so much time together, Ellen naturally knew that Fagga's normal eye color was black.
Once the wings are spread, or when the vampire vision needs to be activated separately, the color of the eyes will turn scarlet again.
In other words, if Fagga's eyes turn red, it means there is an enemy nearby!
Eileen immediately realized what was happening, broke free from Fagga's embrace, crouched down, and warily scanned her surroundings, from the western stairwell all the way to the southern sand dunes:
Which direction?
"South by west, at about a 30-degree angle. It's blocked by a large rock, so you can't see it."
Upon hearing this, Fagha replied in a low voice.
As a vampire, his vision ignores terrain and focuses solely on heat, naturally allowing him to see people behind rocks.
If this were an FPS game, this guy would definitely get a high vote.
Eileen frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Could it be that a few people just happened to be passing by?"
"About a dozen people, but whether they're resting here? I don't think so."
Faga shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Their clothes look a bit like those of rebels... Hmm, Mr. Lykan's call?"
Halfway through his sentence, Fagar's jacket pocket suddenly vibrated. He reached in and saw that it was a call from Lykan.
Without thinking, Fagha made a finger gesture.
Good afternoon, Mr. Lekahn.
Good afternoon... but now's not the time for greetings. Fagga, we have a new client. Have you seen the news lately? TOPS Financial is in dire straits and is trying to hire rebels to instigate a rebellion. Mrs. Merrill has directly commissioned Victoria Housekeeping to eliminate the rebels as much as possible. Ideally, they'd be located on the outer perimeter.
Upon hearing this, Fagga's gaze instinctively drifted toward the large rock not far away.
At that moment, a dozen or so rebel soldiers who were resting behind a large rock suddenly felt a chill down their spines and sprang up.
Look back.
It's a stone! And it's only afternoon, how could it be cold?
Honestly, you're scaring yourself!
The rebels breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.
We'll rest for a while; once we get to the city, we'll be working our lives out.
They dismissed it as a hallucination, unaware that a vampire had been staring intently at them for a long time before finally looking away.
Fagga let out a long sigh and asked.
[I understand, but I remember Mrs. Merrill Lynch isn't the CEO of TOPS Financial Services... Okay, I get it.]
Fagga didn't understand at first, but he quickly figured it out.
Should this be called "every man for himself when disaster strikes," or should it be called the weakness of a certain class?
"Yes, good to know. Whether it's a request from Ms. Merlin or for the safety of ordinary civilians, it's our responsibility."
Yes, I understand.
Fagga nodded, and just before he was about to get up and hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something.
Mr. Lykan.
Are there any further questions?
Where have the troops been deployed?
Perhaps there are more important matters at hand, or perhaps I've been assigned to the border of New Elidu; I don't know.
So, the outer ring road...
The outer ring road is not part of New Elidu because it is not subject to taxation.
[...What a hilarious, hellish joke. Oh well, I get it.]
Fagga hung up the phone and sighed deeply.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and spoke rapidly:
"Eileen, call Corinne immediately and have her hand the phone to Lucy. Tell her that a large number of rebels are gathering in the outer ring, and that she knows how to gather intelligence."
"Then get your weapons from the car, we're going to have a big fight!"
