After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 324 shrouded in mystery, the target is—

Seeing the dark wizard's rambling manner, Cyril frowned and gestured for her men to go and check out the secret chamber.

Upon entering the secret room, you'll find the place where the black wizard stores his data, followed by the observation room where the spirit deer orcs are imprisoned and the laboratory where experimental subjects are manipulated.

"Commander, we have discovered that all the experimental data has been destroyed, all the equipment in the laboratory has been damaged, and all the experimental subjects have died."

In other words, apart from the escaped Spirit Deer Beastman and Number Two, the Black Wizard's hard work was completely ruined.

No wonder he kept saying there was nothing he could do...

"Did Number Two make all of this?"

The dark wizard is always wary and cautious of outsiders. Just who is this Number Two that he trusts so much, leading to the current situation?
"Yes……"

The dejected black wizard slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, his mind a complete blank.

He didn't understand why Number Two dared to betray him; he clearly—

“No… No!”

As if remembering something, the black wizard muttered to himself, oblivious to his surroundings.

Unaware of the situation, Cyril assumed that he had suffered a great shock, which caused him to become mentally unstable.

"Keep an eye on him and wait for the leader to make a decision."

The dark wizard was a favorite of the leader, Drovell, and Cyril could not deal with him on her own.

But the most important thing right now is to resolve the issue of the ferocious beast.

【Drip drip-】

Just as Cyril was pondering how to solve the problem of the ferocious beast, Nick sent her a video call invitation.

【Cyril, where are you now?】

Nick's leg was injured by the beast, and his whereabouts are now unknown.

Despite the excruciating pain, he was unable to rest peacefully, constantly wondering what the problem was.

[The Dark Wizard's Office.]

Coincidentally, Celia needs a witness to prove that she is working hard to resolve the matter of the ferocious beast.

She pointed her personal terminal at the dark wizard and shared the information her subordinates had just reported with Nick.

So, there's a traitor among the black wizards?

In the video, Nick's face was gloomy, his eyes were fixed on the dark wizard in the screen, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of emotion.

【should be. 】

From Cyril's perspective, the problem most likely lies with Number Two; as for the Spirit Deer Beastmen, they simply took advantage of the chaos to escape.

No matter how innocent he may be, he is still an SSS-level orc, so he still has this much ability.

Why now of all times?

Unlike Cyril, Nick had met Number Two. He was one of the subordinates who was responsible for monitoring the dark wizard and had also reported on the dark wizard's abuse of Number Two.

If Number Two harbored resentment towards the dark wizard, he could have easily found an opportunity to kill him, but now...

If Number Two was seeking revenge against the dark wizard, why didn't he just kill him?

It's illogical that they had the ability to silently kill the soldiers who were monitoring and escorting the black wizard back, yet they never actually harmed the black wizard, instead simply locking him in a secret room.

Nick's words did indeed remind Cyril that she already suspected the dark wizard was trying to shirk responsibility and escape punishment.

If all of this was orchestrated by the dark wizard himself... it's not impossible.

[His matter will be discussed with the leader later before a decision is made. The question is, what should we do now?]

As I said before, the most urgent task is to deal with the ferocious beasts. The ones fighting against them now are the elite soldiers they have painstakingly trained.

If this drags on, the casualties will be heavy, an irreparable loss for the rebels. [I've already thought of a solution.]

During the evacuation, Nick kept thinking of a solution.

As he looked down from his vantage point, he unexpectedly spotted the figure of the Dark Night Wolf King.

If I'm not mistaken, it was Liang He who instigated the Dark Night Wolf King to incite the ferocious beasts, triggering the beast tide.

As is well known, Liang He has the ability to communicate with animals without any barriers, so it is not difficult for her to control the Dark Night Wolf King.

Moreover, the Dark Wolf King himself willingly submitted to her, so it's not surprising that he was willing to cooperate.

Therefore, our target is not the ferocious beasts, but all the intelligent Class A ferocious beasts, led by the Dark Night Wolf King!

Only by eliminating them can control of the ferocious beasts be regained, and the rampaging beasts will naturally calm down, thus resolving the beast tide.

No! Absolutely not!

The previously dejected black wizard became excited upon hearing that he was to kill all the newly researched Class A ferocious beasts.

Now that Number Two has betrayed him, all the data he painstakingly researched has been destroyed, and the Spirit Deer Beastman has also run away, the Class A ferocious beast is now his only reliance.

[Dark Wizard, I must remind you, the key to this internal strife lies with the Class A ferocious beasts. If we don't eliminate them, they will not only fail to become our weapon against the Federation in the future, but the Federation will also use them against us!]

Cyril was well aware that the existence of Class A ferocious beasts was uncontrollable. Now that Liang He knew how to control Class A ferocious beasts, she would definitely inform the Federation in the future.

When the time comes and we get to the real battlefield, there is always the risk of things getting out of control, and the casualties will be far more than just a thousand.

Cyril had to ensure the safety of her men. Even if they were to die on the battlefield, they couldn't be betrayed and die in vain!

I agree with Cyril's point of view.

With a score of two to one, regardless of whether the Dark Wizard still has the right to participate in the decision-making process, he is the weaker party.

[Ceril, I will send someone to meet you and we'll deal with the Class A ferocious beast as soon as possible!]

Now that Nick is injured and unable to move around easily, Cheryl, as his confidante, needs to stay and protect him. Therefore, she can only send someone to find Cyril and obey her orders.

Okay, wait for my message.

After Cyril and Nick agreed on a solution, they ended the video call.

Looking at the lifeless dark wizard, Cyril hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to lock him up here for the time being.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him leave here."

Although it's unclear why no ferocious beasts have appeared in the research building, it's generally considered a safe zone, making it safer to keep the dark wizard here.

"Yes!"

The office door was locked again, and guards were stationed both inside and outside. After confirming that everything was in order, Cyril led the rest of her people to meet up with Nick's men.

At the same time, another figure appeared amidst the horde of ferocious beasts.

"Dark Night! Liang He told you to evacuate immediately! Come with me!"

At the sound of a shout, the Dark Wolf King turned around abruptly. After confirming the other party's identity, he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"Ouch - ow -"

The Dark Night Wolf King let out a long howl, and the Class A ferocious beasts, who had been excitedly commanding the beasts to charge forward, immediately understood and obediently rushed towards it, not forgetting to leave the beasts with the command to continue attacking.

In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Class A ferocious beasts appeared around the Dark Night Wolf King.

"Ouch!"

The Night Wolf King gestured for them to follow him, then turned and ran toward the person who had just warned it to retreat.

Amidst the frenzied advance of the beast horde, their retreat in the opposite direction was particularly striking.

At the same time, a fierce gaze, peering through the scope of a sniper rifle, locked onto the position of the Dark Wolf King.
