A Good Partner Is After a Big Scoop

Twenty-four hours is not a long time, and after deducting travel time, the time left for reconnaissance is not much either.

In the command center of the military camp, Nags frowned deeply as he watched the intermittent beeps of the communications and the fruitless reconnaissance.

Naggs is betting on Zhang Xuezhou's guess.

If he gambles wrong, he will not only lose the opportunity to hunt the Descendants when they are at their weakest, but he will also have to face the problem of how to cut off the Descendants' location transmission again.

Naggs absolutely did not want the world to become a chaotic free-for-all between the Adventists.

The outcome of this battle could even determine the survival of different races.

If a descendant like the giant moth were lurking in the British Alliance State, and the threat of its growing power were to erupt, Naggs felt that the British Alliance State under his control would also be doomed.

His gaze swept over the communications department, which was currently yielding no results, and then fell upon the enormous moth specimen stored in the sealed container.

This is a giant flying insect with a pointed head, nearly one meter long, and a wingspan of more than two meters. It evolved from a giant worm.

These moths aren't particularly strong; as long as you don't get pounced on and grabbed in the face, the risk of them dying is relatively low.

Of course, this risk rate is relative to Nags.

The legs of a moth are as strong as steel wire, which can cause significant injury to an ordinary person.

He carefully observed every part of the moth's body, and occasionally gestured the direction of the heavy sword, clearly seeking a way to kill it with a single blow if he encountered a similar creature.

"I hate killing bugs!"

Wearing a white wig, Chimmon Hagrid sullenly expressed his thoughts.

The stranger the creature, the more inconvenient it is to kill.

Even though Chimmon Hagrid has killed countless humans and beasts in his life, he has never killed a giant moth-like creature and cannot predict whether his fatal blow will trigger a counterattack.

If it weren't for the life-extending drug that Zhang Xuezhou mentioned being extremely useful to him, Qimeng Haig would never have come to the Thousand Islands Alliance, much less dressed as a Tuer.

"If you have difficulty killing a ferocious beast during an attack, you can try to sever its joints," Nagos replied without looking up.

"Dream on!"

Chimmon Hagrid muttered a sullen complaint.

Even after delivering a fatal blow to the giant moth, he had to be wary of a rebound; if he struck a non-fatal part of its body, it would inevitably trigger a rebound.

In a battle with a ferocious beast, such negligence could severely injure him or even put him in great danger.

"Since no one has experience fighting, we can only use artillery fire for overwhelming bombardment," Naggs said.

"They're experienced! Our tribe's Tuerlantu fought that beast for quite a while!"

Nagos and Chimonhagri both spoke in their native languages, yet they were able to communicate normally.

After a translator added a few sentences, Elder Tueryongduolu also joined in to share his experience.

"Turlantu, I remember seeing him once at the dispute meeting, he was quite skilled," Naggs nodded and then asked, "Where is he?"

"He's been killed!"

"That's such a pity, tell me..."

Naggs expressed his regret, clearly indicating that he had significantly reduced the scale of his risky and radical plans.

The ability to kill Thurlantu, leaving a Sixth Sequence individual with no escape, means his team will be at great risk.

This risk was enough to make him cautious, and it would inevitably lead Nagos to use the Turs as cannon fodder.

He winked at Omega and the others, inviting Elder Thuryondor to explain in more detail.

"Report: We received a reward notification, but the message contained an image with text from the Scarlet Alliance State. We spent some time deciphering the message and confirmed the target's location, but we are struggling to verify its authenticity!"

Once someone from the communications department made the announcement, Nags and the others put down their conversation and quickly gathered around.

"Where is it located?" Naggs asked.

"It should be in this area. They said they could send photos or videos as proof and asked if we were really willing to give them a reward of 30 million Alliance Coins!"

"Yes, of course!" Speaker Gongyi Xingguangyu nodded quickly. "Wartime rewards are normal. It's no problem for the Tuer tribe to use this money as an incentive!"

Regardless of what kind of image or text the message is, or what kind of overseas experience the recipient has, as long as the information is true, Gongyi Xingguangyu believes everything is fine.

"Reply quickly!" Gongyi Xingguangyu urged.

"I've already replied to your inquiry, but it seems they didn't understand and sent two more pictures to ask again."

Send him a text reply from the Scarlet Alliance State.

"Report: Our machines cannot input the text of the Scarlet Alliance State!"

"What a piece of junk!"

Gongyi Xingguangyu complained repeatedly.

The communication infrastructure of the Thousand Islands Alliance is already quite good, with satellite signals in all major cities. In order to transmit information to Leiata City, they have also built a temporary signal tower.

Official communication software can not only send text messages, but also edit MMS, which are image messages, although the latter is used less often.

"Send him a multimedia message too," Naggs urged. "Write something on the panel, take a picture, compress it, and send it! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Good idea, but I can't write the Scarlet Alliance State's language," Chimmon Hagrid said, taking a step back. "I can only speak it."

"Illiteracy!"

Nagos cursed under his breath and looked at the others.

Seeing that many people were either turning their heads away or looking down, even the two communications officers who had deciphered the information looked embarrassed. He couldn't help but urge them to send Scarlet Alliance State.

"Looks like you can't write either, what are you pretending for?" Chim Hagrid scoffed.

"I just write badly," Naggs gritted his teeth. "That can easily affect the accuracy of the information."

"Cut!"

Chimmon Hagrid muttered a complaint, then his eyes darted around erratically.

It didn't take long, after all, there were indeed Scarlet Alliance State in this military camp.

Wang Li was the first to be approached.

After he finished writing, he glanced at it, his eyelids even blinking slightly, and then added a few more words to the panel.

"What did you write on it?" Naggs asked.

"I'll ask him his name," Wang Li said. "That'll effectively confirm his identity!"

"Great idea!"

Naggs nodded, and then waited patiently.

The process didn't take long; just two minutes later, a string of account numbers arrived.

This is clearly a case of asking for money first and then releasing relevant information.

Seeing this information, Gongyi Xing, Guangyu, and the others were about to curse, but then Wang Li grinned.

"It's all over, it's all over, it's all ruined!"

Wang Li gasped.

The reply did not contain the sender's name, but Wang Li recognized the account number in the reply that was demanding money.

This was the secret account his close partner Song Fengying, used to settle her personal accounts.

Countless people in Leiata City were fleeing the disaster. Zhang Xuezhou was even looking for a cave to hide in and reduce the risk. Wang Li never expected that Song Fengying had been trying to create a big news story about the ferocious beast, had actually entered the Thousand Islands Alliance and was even demanding money from the Thousand Islands Alliance military.

Thinking about the various risks Zhang Xuezhou mentioned about the giant moth on the way, Wang Li felt that he was doomed.
