Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 25 Discussion among the top leaders of Bo City

"What? The Black Church!"

Zhan Kong restrained his nonchalant look, took out the cigarette butt from his lips, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

Li Yu and his companions, who returned to the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station a few days behind the main force, gave the general a little shock.

"Do you know the specific purpose of the Black Church?"

"do not know."

Li Yu frowned and stated the conclusion he reached after discussing with the madman.

"Their target may be the two-headed demon wolf."

"Two-headed demon wolf?"

Zhan Kong asked doubtfully:
"Has the Black Church become stupid from practicing evil arts? A few priests and believers dared to attack the two-headed demon wolf."

As the bottom layer of the Black Church system, the priests and believers only have the strength of mid-level and beginner magicians, and at most a few black beasts and cursed beasts. In front of the commander-level two-headed demon wolf, they are just a stomping of their feet.

There's no time to dodge, but you're still rushing forward?

Silly?

"I don't know."

Li Yu's answer was very concise, so concise that Zhan Kong was speechless.

But there were some gains after all. Knowing the existence of the Black Church, Bo City could be more vigilant. After all, facing this group of human scum, it is never too vigilant.

"Write a report on your actions after you two left the main force and give it directly to Deng Kai. He knows what to do."

Li Yu looked embarrassed. He really didn't like writing reports.

But he couldn't object, so he had to nod helplessly. He submitted the report a few days after returning.

In Bo City, a group of high-ranking officials received intelligence about the Black Vatican.

In the large conference room on the top floor of the Bo City Government.

Mayor Bo, Zhan Kong, Deng Kai, Mu Zhuoyun, Yang Zuohe and Principal Zhu of Tianlan Magic High School, only a few people, but they are representatives of the government, military, Hunter Alliance, noble families, Magic Association and Magic High School. They are equivalent to a group of people at the top of the city who are holding a meeting with sad faces.

"Is the news from the Black Church true?"

Mu Zhuoyun raised his doubts with a frown. He didn't want to attribute the recent abnormalities to the Black Vatican.

The Black Church is notorious and everyone hates it. It is also a terrorist organization that people avoid at all costs. Every time they appear, it symbolizes huge losses and casualties.

"Give up your luck. The Black Church has been eyeing Bo City for a long time."

Zhan Kong glanced meaningfully at the gloomy Mu Zhuoyun.

"You should be thankful that at least we discovered in advance that those beasts were trying to provoke the commander-level demons around Bo City."

"The most urgent task is to find out what the Black Church's conspiracy is to provoke the commander-level demons."

Deng Kai from the Hunter Alliance said solemnly, leaning on the large conference table with his arms.

"Conspiracy? What other conspiracy could there be?"

Zhankong casually told a shocking guess.
"The Black Church has done many things like inciting demon riots and using demon tides to attack cities."

"Maybe this time they are planning to repeat the same old trick?"

Demonic tide?

Hearing this term that symbolizes blood, destruction, and terror, everyone present was shocked. The mayor of Bocheng's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Kill the Air Force Commander, don't easily say this kind of speculation, so as not to cause panic!"

He has only been in office for a few years. If he encounters a tragedy like the Demon Tide, who can he turn to for justice?

"My Lord Mayor"

Zhankong's tone was playful.
"Whether it is alarmist or prophecy, your reaction speaks volumes, doesn't it?"

"If in your mind, the Black Church causing the demon tide is really nonsense, why are you so scared?"

Mayor Bo was speechless. Indeed, in his heart, he also had no expectations of the Black Church's bottom line. After all, those cities destroyed by the Black Church had already set a good example for them.

"But now we don't know where the Black Church is hiding." Yang Zuohe also spoke.

"These beasts are hiding among the crowd. We can't catch them just by relying on the power of Bo City."

The Black Church is able to stir up blood and corpses all over the world and can still stir up trouble even when it is wanted by the whole world. Its concealment and power can be imagined. How can a small city like Bo have the strength to deal with them?

"What if we ask our superiors to strengthen Bo City's defenses?"

Principal Zhu made a not very reliable suggestion, which was then rejected by everyone.

"impossible."

Zhan Kong shook his head. Although the members of the Inquisition had already infiltrated Bo City, he could not expose himself. Moreover, if it were not for the members of the Black Church who were accidentally hunted down by the Demon Wolf Tribe, perhaps everyone would have been kept in the dark.

While thinking, I refuted Principal Zhu's proposal with reason and evidence.

"In the eyes of others, the existence of the Black Church is just our one-sided statement. In the absence of solid evidence, it is impossible for the superiors to withdraw the already stretched defense force."

"Yes."

Yang Zuohe and Deng Kai also agreed with Zhan Kong's reason.
"Although things have been relatively calm during this period, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Black Vatican is deliberately paralyzing us. The superiors also need to take precautions."

“But this report is quite interesting.”

After rebutting, Deng Kai from the Hunter Alliance pulled out the report in his hand, projected it directly using the equipment in the conference room, pointed to a certain place and said:

"Everyone, please take a look..."

Deng Kai pointed to a paragraph in the report submitted by Li Yu:
"This report points out that this group of Black Church members were being chased by thousands of demon wolves, and their location was 20 kilometers away from the two-headed demon wolf."

"Moreover, from the time the two hunters heard the howl of the two-headed wolf to the time the Black Church appeared at the end of their sight, it took less than five minutes."

"Do you feel anything unusual?"

Everyone looked at each other at first, all with a sense of weirdness, and then Zhan Kong spoke uncertainly,
"Those guys are running pretty fast!"

In less than five minutes, a straight-line distance of twenty kilometers was reached. Even a mid-level wind mage couldn't have such a speed. As for a high-level mage, if he had this much power, could he still be a poor priest?
Deng Kai continued to speculate:

"So, we can roughly infer that these Black Church members were discovered and hunted by the outer wolf pack during their stealth evacuation."

"But why didn't the two-headed demon wolf take action himself?"

Yang Zuohe raised his confusion from the side.

"Judging from the scale of the demon wolves' movement, almost all the demons under the control of the two-headed demon wolf have come out in full force, right?"

"In this case, the two-headed demon wolf should be dispatched, right?"

"Perhaps something is holding back the two-headed demon wolf, preventing it from taking action itself."

Deng Kai was also puzzled.
“Could it be that the two-headed demon wolf was fighting with the strong men of the Black Church at that time?”

"But that doesn't make sense..."

If the two-headed demon wolf was really fighting a powerful enemy, it would at least have a general-level demon like the Bone Thorn Wolf to cooperate with it, instead of sending all its subordinates out at once like this.

"Maybe I have an idea."

When the meeting reached a stalemate, Zhan Kong spoke slowly, his brows furrowed.

“But this approach would be dangerous.”

"any solution?"

The others looked expectant. As for danger, if the Black Church's conspiracy succeeded, the entire Bo City would be in danger.

Zhankong said seriously:

"Since we already know that the Black Church's target is most likely the commander-level demons around Bo City, why not just sit back and wait and monitor the movements near the commander-level demons' lairs."

"With better luck, we might be able to catch the Black Church."

"This……"

Everyone hesitated.
