Deep in the Gloomy Mountains, the meeting hall of Dark Church headquarters is completely different from the secret chamber of Radiant Church. There are no cold stone walls here, only walls made of writhing living flesh and blood, with dark purple energy flowing in the vein-like lines. The air is filled with the mixed smell of sulfur and humus, and the only light source comes from a few pale green crystals suspended in the air, projecting a flickering light.
Dark Pope Morsfield stands high on a throne made of countless twisted bones and Obsidian. His body is shrouded in a wide black robe, and his fingers as thin as eagle talons are tapping the armrests of the throne rhythmically, making a heart-stopping clicking sound. Below, five core members wearing black robes with different patterns stand in awe.
A shadow priest in charge of intelligence was reporting in a hoarse voice, "...Black Marsh City stronghold has been confirmed to have been uprooted, and all lurking personnel have been eliminated. "Shadow Snake" we sent to test "The team, its equipment and poison sacs were sent back intact by Dragon Rock Territory Immovable. The leader of the other party, Lin Qin, did not attach any words."
There was deathly silence in the hall, with only the slight squirming sound of the flesh and blood walls. For a moment, Morsfield let out a hoarse and harsh laugh, like the cry of a night owl.
"Interesting. It seems that this "Earth Walker" is tougher than we expected." He slowly raised his head, and two dim lights under his hood swept across the people below, "So, what are our old opponents who claim to be bright, what are they busy with now?"
Another cursed priest responsible for monitoring the movements of Radiant Church immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Holy Island has just sent a secret report. Pope Heidens left Holy Island yesterday, and his destination was the "Silent Valley" south of Chaos Territory. We judge that he went to invite former Pope Desri to come out."
"Desri?" Beside the throne, an old priest with a stooped figure and a skull staff whispered in surprise, "That old monster is still alive? Heidens This is a huge investment."
The cursed priest continued, "Not only that, Six-Winged Angel Battle Formation" of Radiant Church has entered the highest combat readiness state, and is personally controlled by "Blaze" Useno Mage and Samuel, who lead the Ascetic elders, have also finished their meditation and may be dispatched at any time. Their target is undoubtedly Dragon Rock Territory."
"Desri... Six-wing battle formation...Useno... There are two Ascetic old ghosts..." Morsfield tapped the knot of the armrest The play speeded up a bit, and there was amusement in the twinkling eyes, "What a big battle! It seems that Heidens is really offended by this Lin Qin, and he will not hesitate to use such knowledge to completely wipe him out."
He paused, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Okay, let's let these smug guys touch this hard bone first. We can just see how good this Lin Qin is who can force Heidens into such a big fight. Let's also see how much real ability Radiant Church has left besides putting on airs over the years."
"Your Majesty is wise." The rickety old priest echoed sadly, "Let them bite dogs. No matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to us."
"What's the benefit?" Morsfield snorted coldly, "How can you get the benefit from just watching a show?" The dim light in his eyes suddenly blazed, like the gaping mouth of an abyss, "Of course we can't just sit back and watch. Send the order, "Shadow Angel Battle Formation" Immediately end the rest, enter the highest combat readiness state, and be ready to attack at any time!"
The order was quickly passed on. There was a slight fluctuation in the shadows in the corner of the hall, as if something was following the order.
"In addition," Morsfield's voice sounded again, with unquestionable majesty, "Blood Blade" Kasa, "Shadow Dancer" Elaine."
Before he finished speaking, two figures emerged from the thickest shadow next to the throne.
The person on the left is extremely tall and tall, nearly three meters tall. He is wearing a set of ferocious armor covered with dark red bloodstains. The muscles on his exposed arms are knotted and veins are protruding. A giant bloody Serrated Scimitar, not much smaller than the door panel, is casually carried on his shoulder. The blade seems to be There was thick blood flowing slowly. He had an unabashed cruelty and bloodthirsty smile on his face, and his eyes swept over everyone present, as if he was sizing up prey. He was the "Blood Blade" Kasa, known throughout the dark world for his violent fighting methods and reputation for killing his opponents.
The person on the right is in sharp contrast to Kasa. She has a slender figure, covered in a piece of pure black soft armor that seems to absorb light. She wears a black mask without any patterns on her face, only revealing a pair of cold, emotionless eyes. She stands there, but her figure seems to be constantly changing. Slightly twisted, making it difficult to lock onto, just like a real shadow. She is "Shadow Dancer" Elaine, Dark Church, the top assassin and spy master. Countless strong men have died at her hands, but few have seen her true face.
"Your mission," Morsfield's eyes fell on the two of them, and his tone was cold and biting, "Is not to attack Dragon Rock Territory head-on. It is to take the shadow battle array, secretly sneak into the peripheral area of Dragon Rock Territory, and lurk."
Kasa licked his lips and made a hoarse voice. "Your Majesty, do you want us to wait for Radiant Church to take action and then hit them from behind?"
"No." Morsfield denied his speculation, "Your primary target is Lin Qin himself, as well as the core resources and confidential information accumulated by Dragon Rock Territory."
Elaine's cold voice was like a cold wind blowing. "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins."
"Exactly." Morsfield glanced at her approvingly, "Monitor the battle situation closely. When Radiant Church and Lin Qin are both injured in the fight, or when Lin Qin reveals a fatal flaw in the fierce battle and is seriously injured, you will launch a thunder raid. At the moment. Kasa, you are responsible for the frontal attack and must kill or capture Lin Qin in the shortest time. Elaine, you are responsible for sneaking into the core area of Dragon Rock Territory, searching for and taking away all valuable materials, technical drawings and confidential documents."
His voice suddenly became stern. "Remember! What we Dark Church want are real benefits - Saint Realm's corpses of extremely powerful people, possible secret cultivation methods, Dragon Rock Territory The secret of 's rapid rise, their minerals and wealth! Not the vain glory and ridiculous fame of Radiant Church! Actions must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and you must evacuate immediately after you succeed, and you must not be reluctant to fight!"
"I obey your Majesty's order!" Kasa grinned widely, revealing his white teeth, and his eyes flashed with blood. Elaine just bowed slightly, and his movements were so light that he didn't make a sound.
Morsfield waved his hands. The two of them said no more, and their figures seemed to be swallowed up by shadows, slowly blending into the darkness of the hall again, as if they had never appeared before.
"Notify our "friends" in the north," Morsfield added to the cursed priest, "Let them create some noise at the border to divert Dragon Rock Territory's attention. But do it naturally and don't be seen as instigating it from us."
"Understood." The cursed priest bowed and accepted the order.
Morsfield leaned back on the skeletal throne, and his skinny fingers stopped tapping. The hall fell into dead silence again, with only the dim light cast by the green crystal swaying strangely on the flesh and blood walls.
"The storm is coming..." He whispered to himself, with a cruel arc on his lips under the hood, "Let's see who can have the last laugh in this storm."
