"There's no one else."
As Su Xiao spoke, he contacted Bubu Wang and learned that Bubu Wang could arrive at the Empire's capital at the earliest tonight.
"Red Scorpion, Lan, and Guy are all dead?"
The little adjutant slowed her steps.
"They're dead."
"Guy... Guy still owed me a meal, Lan owed me 2,000 gold pounds, and Red Scorpion owed me 12,657 meals."
The little adjutant muttered as if she had lost her mind. Heaven only knew why Red Scorpion owed her 12,657 meals.
At present, Su Xiao had lost the one department he wanted most: the Ninth Army's Crow's Eye, an intelligence department capable of finding out even the color of an enemy's underwear.
Crow's Eye was different from the other subordinate departments of the Ninth Army. It had not been disbanded, but had instead been separated by the Old Saint King. The Old Saint King and the Moon Goddess had both been reluctant to disband the department.
