Alfred stared heavily around him, seeing the subordinates he had been laughing and greeting earlier that day now lying haphazardly on the ground.
He closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, the emotions in his gaze were already restrained. Without showing any emotion, he turned his head to look at Mesagnes, who had been waiting there for a long time.
He was wearing a black military uniform, its buttons gleaming golden under the Moonlight, and his medals were as red as blood.
"You had already chosen your side? Was this attack premeditated?"
Mesagnes chuckled as he looked at Alfred and said, "The Southern Continent only needs one voice, and you foreign colonizers will inevitably be expelled."
Streaks of brilliant starlight suddenly fell around Alfred. These star streaks instantly condensed, creating a giant transparent amber that completely enveloped him, restricting him to his original position.
Alfred hadn't reacted yet when an extreme sense of fatigue and drowsiness suddenly surged into his mind. After resisting for two seconds, he couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.
Leyton's figure distorted, instantly appearing beside Mesagnes. He looked at the "Colonel," who was filled with a murderous aura, and reminded him, "Don't kill people casually; they are all bargaining chips for negotiations with Loen."
"Haha, of course. I wouldn't do anything that would damage my image, especially at this time."
"I will leave matters here to my adjutant. Although there are still some troops carrying out missions wandering outside, after losing a Demigod, the Intis Military no longer has the means to continue controlling this area."
"Next are the Intis Military on the south bank. Those Primordial Moon Believers and Rose School of Thought members who have surfaced here will need you and Bishop Luca to clear them out."
Mesagnes nodded gently towards Leyton, responding a few words in a good mood, then turned his head to look at Plark, who had materialized beside him.
Leyton also shifted his gaze, seeing two items in Plark's hand. In his right hand was a transparent crystal skull, carrying an indescribable sense of majesty; just looking at it made one feel its oppressive force.
In his left hand was a tightly clenched, translucent, pitch-black fist. This fist directly conveyed a sense of power and strangeness, with patterns, light spots, and nails that seemed to follow normal rules yet were full of contradictory implications, seemingly harboring a great deal of madness and chaos.
Plark summoned two Nature Spirits, handed them the two spoils of war for safekeeping, and then took Mesagnes to the south bank of the Paz River Valley via Spirit World travel.
Watching the two leave, Leyton looked down at the palm of his left hand. The milky white Die of Probability lay quietly in his palm, but the number on it had unknowingly changed to four.
"Can't use it anymore." He muttered in a low voice, then extended his right hand and opened a Deep Blue Door in mid-air, stepping directly into it.
At a bend in the Paz River Valley, a plantation, one of the important strongholds of the Followers of the Primordial Moon in the Paz River Valley area, was currently facing an encirclement and slaughter led personally by Lucca Brewster, the Executor, and the Sanguine.
All the coffee trees originally planted here had mutated into Monsters; some pulled themselves out of the ground, becoming ugly and grotesque treants; others grew thorns like cacti that could be shot out; some wildly stretched their roots and branches, tightly entwining everything they touched; some tree branches and leaves developed a metallic luster, like sharp blades, wantonly striking any living creature that approached them.
Besides these trees, there were also many modified creatures, similar to the previous puppets, covered in signs of splicing, making it impossible to tell what their original species had been.
Mixed among these Monsters were a group of agile artificial Vampires, and some Beyonders of the Planter pathway hidden in the shadows, occasionally intervening in the battle.
"It feels like Plants vs. Zombies, no, it should be Plants and Zombies vs. Humans."
Leyton grumbled, his figure quickly outlining itself beside Bugs Bunny.
Feeling the spiritual fluctuations beside him, Bugs Bunny, dragging Brie and Ritz, instantly darted over ten meters away, then looked back at its previous position.
Upon seeing that the person who appeared was Leyton, a human-like expression of relief appeared on its furry face as it said, "Oh~ Boss, why are you here?"
Leyton glanced at the Die of Probability in his hand, which had already turned to three, and impatiently threw it out, saying at the same time, "Take this Die of Probability; you can use it when you encounter danger."
Bugs Bunny quickly reached out to catch the dice falling towards him, but because he was holding a branch staff in one hand, it was inconvenient. The Die of Probability hit his paw, then fell directly to the ground, still showing three dots facing up!
I reasonably suspect this damn dice is intentional… Leyton stared intently at the Die of Probability on the ground with three dots facing up, grumbling in his heart.
"Three dots? Such bad luck."
Bugs Bunny muttered in a low voice, then went to pick up the Die of Probability that had fallen to the ground, and then threw it again; six dots facing up!
"…" Leyton was completely speechless at this Die of Probability, which was suspected of racial discrimination.
He turned his head to look at Brie and Ritz, asking in confusion, "Why did you two come too? Shouldn't you be building Robots right now?"
Brie and Ritz looked at each other, then one meowed and the other said, "Glenn said we could come out and earn some funds."
"It's safer to follow the rabbit; we're not good at fighting."
Leyton nodded gently, not caring about their words about it being safer to follow Bugs Bunny.
Not to mention the Mystical Items hanging from their heads to their tails, even if they encountered a Demigod interception, as long as they could still meow a few times, Glenn could instantly respond within that not-too-far distance.
After handing the Die of Probability to Bugs Bunny, Leyton flashed away again, leaving Bugs Bunny, Brie, and Ritz, the two cats, looking at each other for a while.
Ritz moved its body uncomfortably. It was covered in pieces of mechanical armor, cobbled together from brass-colored mechanical parts. Although it was a Sequence 6 Beyonder cat, the Savant Pathway had no strengthening effect on the body, so this pieced-together mechanical armor was a considerable burden on its body.
Brie, on the other hand, only had one piece of mechanical equipment on each of its four legs, and one on its neck and tail. On the left and right sides of its two front legs, there were also two cloth bags, seemingly filled with small, fragmented items.
The two cats stared curiously at the Die of Probability in Bugs Bunny's hand for a long time, only reluctantly withdrawing their gaze when Bugs Bunny put the dice back into its pocket.
Ritz exclaimed with some curiosity, "This is a very powerful Mystical Item! Although I can't see it clearly, I feel it's even more powerful than Glenn's two Mystical Items!"
"I wonder when I'll be able to create a Mystical Item of this level."
Brie, with two cloth bags hanging from its body, agilely darted up a nearby tree. After looking around for a while, it lightly jumped down and, looking towards the depths of the manor, suggested, "Let's go further inside. We can't even find a single person here."
Ritz nodded its somewhat heavy head in agreement, saying, "That's right. Although our Sequence is not high, we have enough Mystical Items, and now we even have such a powerful Mystical Item. Even if we encounter someone we can't beat, we can still run away."
Bugs Bunny rubbed his furry chin with his free paw, looking as if he was deep in thought.
Before he could think for two seconds, violent explosions successively rang out in the distance, quickly approaching their location.
In the layers of firelight not far away, a long spear, seemingly composed of pure sunlight, drew a blazing white trail in the air, shattering a patch of hazy crimson Moonlight, turning it into flakes of Red Light, and quickly reassembling into a lean figure in mid-air.
It was a pale-faced man, about thirty years old, with a very pointed chin and somewhat sunken eye sockets, giving him a sinister and fierce feeling.
The moment that figure appeared, the metal ring hanging around Brie's neck suddenly lit up with a rapid Red Light.
Feeling the sudden flashing warning light on its neck, Brie shouted loudly, "He is a Follower of the Primeval Moon."
The figure in mid-air was attracted by Brie's voice. He looked down at the ground with cold eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his gloomy gaze, and blurted out in a somewhat astonished voice, "A cat and a rabbit, and a Robot dog?"
He looked around cautiously. With Beyonder animals, there was a high probability of Beyonders who raised them.
"Stupid Vampire, I'm clearly a cat!" Ritz, completely covered in mechanical devices, grumbled loudly in dissatisfaction.
The figure in mid-air scanned the surroundings, detecting no other hidden Beyonders, and his cautious mood instantly relaxed.
He looked at Ritz, who was tightly encased in mechanical devices, and an undisguised greedy look appeared in his eyes:
"Heh, how bold. Didn't your master tell you that the Sequence before Vampire is Beast Tamer?"
"But now your new master is telling you."
His figure blurred for a moment under the crimson Moonlight. When he became clear again, he had already teleported over ten meters away, and his voice was full of pleasure as he said, "What good luck! I didn't expect to pick up an Artisan cat today."
"Also, those aren't inferior Vampires, but devout believers of the great Crimson Moon, Her envoys, scholars from the Crimson…"
Bang! A blazing fireball suddenly exploded at the location of this Primordial Moon Believers, raising a burst of hot air that interrupted his rambling words.
On the ground, Ritz's open mouth slowly closed, and specks of crimson light dissipated with it.
In front of it, the air seemed to twist, and the scarlet Moonlight suddenly materialized, reforming into the figure that had been in mid-air just now.
