Hu Shu looked solemn and sat around the palace discussion table with Wu Zetian and everyone. "Mysterious Faction has changed, and the resource problem is imminent. Let's share your thoughts." Hu Shu broke the silence. Everyone looked at each other., the atmosphere was depressing. A Interception Sect expert was the first to speak, "Maybe you can try to find Spirit Vein nearby to replenish your spiritual energy." Hu Shu pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and an action to deal with the crisis was quietly planned in this solemn atmosphere.
"At present, Mysterious Faction's movements are unknown. We cannot act rashly to avoid alerting others. But we must know their plot as soon as possible so that we can respond in advance." Hu Shu glanced at the crowd firmly.
"Master, I think we can first send some elite spies to inquire about the information and find out their true and false beliefs." Wu Zetian suggested.
"It's exactly what I want. You can select Human Race's elite spies to carry out this matter. Remember, you must be careful and don't expose your whereabouts." Hu Shu looked at Wu Zetian with trust in his eyes.
After Wu Zetian took the order, he quickly selected a group of elite spies from Human Race who were strong and good at Stealth and Tracking. Each of these spies had bright eyes, resolute expressions, and full confidence in completing the mission.
"This mission is of great importance. You must try your best to find out Mysterious Faction's true purpose. If you encounter danger, put your own safety first and evacuate in time." Wu Zetian solemnly warned the spies.
After receiving the order, the spies set off quietly. Like ghosts, they shuttled through the mountains and forests, heading towards the area where Mysterious Faction troops were mobilized. Along the way, the wind whistled in their ears, and the surrounding trees were shadowy in the night, as if they hid countless unknown dangers.
After several days of arduous trek, the spies finally approached the area where Mysterious Faction was located. They found a secret high ground to lurk, and looking from a distance, they saw a busy scene in the valley. Countless figures were shuttled back and forth, carrying various supplies, and groups of soldiers were conducting intense drills.
"Looking at this posture, they seem to be preparing for a large-scale operation." A spy whispered.
"That's right, but where exactly it is targeted requires further investigation." The leading spy frowned.
In order to obtain more information, the spies decided to divide their forces into several groups and approach the Mysterious Faction camp from different directions. They carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and used the surrounding terrain and vegetation as cover to slowly approach.
One of the spies had just sneaked into the edge of the camp when they heard a low conversation. "This operation must be a hit, and Human Race must not be given a chance to breathe." "Don't worry, everything is ready, just wait for Human Race to take the bait."
The spies were startled and were about to continue eavesdropping when suddenly, a sharp siren broke the silence. "No, we've been discovered!" The spies secretly screamed that something was wrong and immediately turned around and evacuated.
It turned out that Mysterious Faction had deployed extremely strict security measures around the camp. Although the spies were cautious, they still triggered a hidden mechanism. Suddenly, shouts of death broke out in the camp, and countless Mysterious Faction members chased in the direction of the spies.
"Run separately, don't let them catch you all!" the leading spy shouted loudly. Upon hearing this, the spies quickly spread out and looked for ways to escape.
In the night, the drama of pursuit and escape was staged fiercely. Members of Mysterious Faction, armed with sharp knives, chased after them, shouting, "Don't let them escape!" The spies relied on their superb concealment skills and familiarity with the terrain to deal with the enemy.
Two spies were unfortunately overtaken by the enemy. They were not afraid. They pulled out the daggers from their waists and started a desperate fight with the enemy. For a moment, the light of the knives flashed and blood splattered. Although they resisted vigorously, they were eventually outnumbered and fell in a pool of blood.
The other spies were saddened when they saw this, but they also became more determined to escape and bring the information back. They darted left and right in the mountain forest, sometimes using the cover of trees to hide their bodies, and sometimes using the steep hillsides to escape from the pursuers.
After a fierce chase and battle, some spies successfully escaped. They did not dare to stay and rushed back to ZhaoGe City without stopping.
After returning to ZhaoGe City, the spies immediately reported the situation to Hu Shu and Wu Zetian. "Mysterious Faction seems to be gathering strength and preparing to launch a raid on a key stronghold of Human Race, but we have not yet identified which stronghold." The leading spy looked tired, but his tone was firm.
After hearing this, Hu Shu's face became more solemn. "It seems that Mysterious Faction is coming with a lot of force this time. We must find their target as soon as possible and prepare for defense."
"Master, what should we do? There are so many Human Stronghold that it is difficult to guard against them one by one." Wu Zetian asked anxiously.
Hu Shu fell into deep thought and said after a moment, "We will first investigate the key strongholds of Human Race and strengthen the defense force. At the same time, we will continue to send spies to conduct in-depth investigations and make sure to identify the specific target of Mysterious Faction."
Everyone nodded, and an intense defense deployment operation was launched in ZhaoGe City. The soldiers began to build fortifications at various strongholds, stockpile grain, grass and weapons. The children of Human Race also responded to the call and joined in the defense preparations.
Hu Shu and Wu Zetian are sitting at ZhaoGe City, paying close attention to the movements of all parties. They know that a war is coming, and whether Human Race can survive this crisis safely is still unknown.
