My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Types VI and VII of the Hidden Tail Snake.

According to the cunning Blood Demon, the performance of Type VI is 10-20% worse than that of Type VII.

Does this mean that the training team is using the Type VII, which can accommodate hybrid mages for a long time without breaking down, allowing them to hide until now without being discovered?

That's possible.

what should we do?

Xia Zuo thought and thought but couldn't come up with a good solution. He could only maintain the "bloodline connection" and hope to hear or eavesdrop on useful information.

Unfortunately, no sound came from my ears until the early hours of the morning, when the sun rose above the horizon.

Through the perspective of Servant No. 2, Xia Zuo saw the bright outline of Poseidon City in the morning sun and immediately felt a little tired.

He had his second servant hide in a building in the suburbs, and then he entered into deep meditation.

Chapter 81 Slaughtering Order

March 12, 14 am.

Xia Zuo awoke from his meditation and immediately switched to the perspective of Servant No. 2.

Approximately 40 military airships appeared over Poseidon, with federal army insignia on their airbags.

Five of them hovered over various urban areas.

Their pods were equipped with loudspeakers that repeatedly broadcast the same message to the city below:

[Attention! Citizens. Poseidon City has entered a Level 2 alert state. All residents are required to remain indoors. Supplies will be distributed by the federal military. Please comply with the Federal Disciplinary Act and cooperate with inspections as required by law.]

There are different models of military airships in the sky.

The five airships responsible for broadcasting remained suspended in place.

The remaining flight control boats were divided into 7 groups.

One of the groups is a supplies transport team, consisting of 5 airships – 4 high-speed airships escorting 1 supplies airship to distribute living supplies.

The other group is a patrol mobile team, with five high-speed airships patrolling the entire city in the sky.

The remaining 5 groups are citizen inspection teams.

Each group is responsible for one urban area, with four high-speed airships escorting one particularly large aircraft carrier airship.

From the pods of the aircraft carrier airship, a large group of elemental servants encased in spherical metal shells flew out and inspected the residents from house to house.

The military used microphones on the metal casings to guide residents through the inspection process.

The emergency response department for Category 3 disasters reacted quite quickly.

It is estimated that after working through the night to integrate data and hold meetings, they discovered that the number of hybrid mages killed was far less than expected, realizing that there were more hybrid mages lurking in the city. That's why they raised the alert level again and launched a city-wide search.

Ultimately, it was the intelligence that had been given to Rexor that came into play.

This was primarily due to Xia Zuo directly relaying the number of people mentioned by Nukalova, the butler of essence and flesh, without any concealment or alteration.

Having witnessed the army's efficiency, Xia Zuo's worries were largely alleviated.

Today's search results are certainly remarkable. From petty pickpockets to serious fugitives, virtually no criminal has been able to escape such a manhunt.

Xia Zuo controlled his second servant, carefully avoiding the glass ball-shaped elemental servants.

According to "The Complete Explanation of the Elemental Shells", glass is an excellent container for elements.

Hollow glass spheres are ideal for housing powerful elemental minions—providing a clear view without hindering spellcasting.

Specially made, hard glass serves as the first line of defense for protecting these elemental servants.

Within the territory of the Mage Temple, this type of elemental servant can only be used by high-ranking mages and above.

If the Blood Element servants see them, it's best to keep a safe distance.

Xia Zuo sneaked into the St. York community, found his house, and crawled into the sewer near the house to observe the situation inside through the small gap in the manhole cover.

The doors, windows, and curtains of the house were tightly closed, and there was no sign of human or elemental puppet activity.

If my assumption is correct, there should be an elemental golem replacing Xia Zuo at this moment, carrying out the mission with the 17th Operations Team.

Xia Zuo thought for a moment and decided not to control Servant No. 2 to search for the 17th Action Team.

In contrast, it's more important to use the No. 1 minion in conjunction with the elemental golems of Polis City.

With a thought, he switched to the perspective of Servant Number 1.

The screen is very dark.

Last night I stuffed servant number 1 into the hat.

You can barely see individual strands of hair now...

It's estimated that the elemental golems of Poseidon City are wearing hats.

Xia Zuo had his No. 1 servant attach to the hair of the elemental golem, then placed the perspectives of the two blood elemental servants side by side, while he himself lay on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

He activated [Bloodline Sense] to see how the Church of the Otherworldly Demons would react.

If there were a city-wide search, those three training teams wouldn't be able to hide...

Then I admire you, I admire you.

“Lord Ulfaris, the Plague Order requests your instructions. The converts carrying the Plague vials are still asleep, but the scum are about to find their dwelling.”

The voice paused for a few seconds, listening to the instructions of the Blood Demon Upharis, and continued:

"My lord, we've already tried the method you suggested... This round of searches involved the Demon Temple guards; they were working alongside the Slobber Dogs. The troublesome converts were detected by powerful detection magic, and the Slobber Dogs imprisoned them on the spot..."

Another voice chimed in, “Sir! Sir! The Slobs have surrounded the town! The leaders are Witchers! They appeared the moment we made a move! It’s like...it’s like they knew we were lurking here!”

Although Xia Zuo couldn't hear what Ufaris was saying, he was certain that the cunning blood demon was extremely agitated at the moment.

People are more prone to making mistakes when they are anxious, especially when they are carrying heavy responsibilities.

Blood Demon is not human, but he retains human nature and will inevitably be influenced by emotions when planning his next steps.

Uskas's bloodline mark is stirring. This adult blood addict, who escaped from the elemental golems yesterday, has received orders from Ufaris.

"Uscas, I want you to join the Raiders Order. Once you receive my orders, forcibly take away our target. Blood will be with you, and when I receive the blood of the defeated, I will bestow upon you... immense power!"

Ufaris's words seemed to greatly encourage Uskas.

The adult blood addict immediately sped towards the city of Polis at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

Xia Zuo's expression suddenly turned strange.

Uskas came directly for Servant Number 1...

Could it be that the elemental golems are now under the surveillance of the Raiding Order?

Xia Zuo suddenly regretted hiding in the hat; if he had been in a different spot, he might have been able to see the environment around the elemental golem…

He thought for a few seconds and then focused his attention on Servant Number 2.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the coaching staff lying in wait in Poseidon and Hakansen are preparing to launch a forceful attack.

Only with enough blood can the altar set up in Hakansen City take effect.

Shazo controlled Servant No. 2 to the rooftop of a building near the St. York community and surveyed the city of Poseidon.

They want to collect a large amount of blood in a short period of time.

They must find densely populated areas to carry out the killings.

Where are the crowds?

Xia Zuo immediately sensed something was wrong...

The most densely populated area is undoubtedly the old northern district, where there is a large cluster of U-shaped apartment buildings.

Will little Janice come home at this time?

I don't think so... The university is that safe.

Xia Zuo frowned, feeling he had to go and take a look.

Janice wasn't exactly an acquaintance of Xia Zuo's; they'd only met a few times.

But to be honest, Janice holds a special place in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have given away the weak recovery potion he had treasured for 10 years.

A deeper analysis suggests that his concern for Janice may stem from a desire for "vicarious gratification."

Ten years ago, in the city of Rosac in the Kingdom of Starry Night, it was Thales Meso who guided Shazo onto the path of a mage.

I have never had the chance to repay this kindness.

Therefore, only by doing something similar can I fill the void in my heart.

For example, guiding a teenager or girl who already possesses the qualities for developing a positive personality to enter a school.

What if this little girl, with whom he has formed a loving relationship, were to be injured or killed by the Church of the Otherworldly Demons...

Xia Zuo must be very sad.

He doesn't have many people he's willing to invest his emotions in.

The circus members, Professor Kulov, Headmaster Beatrice, Bald Rexor… these are ranked third.

Audrey and Janice are both in the second sequence.

Anjou is the first in the sequence.

Xia Zuo hopes that they can all live well, experience normal birth, aging, illness and death, and not die from accidents.

Servant number 2 was moving about the street.

The massive shadows of several airships swept past him. The patrol squadron's five airships flew together toward the northern city.

Xia Zuo's heart tightened, and he manipulated his No. 2 servant to go to the top of the tallest building in the vicinity to look north.

A riot broke out in the U-shaped building complex in the northern part of the city.

A large group of spherical elemental minions circled and flew around two of the buildings, beams of light shot from the gun barrels on their metal shells, and within the elemental light, the crimson glow of blood magic flickered.

The Slaughter Cult has made its move and is currently engaged in combat with the army.
