People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"Is it the Shadow Devourer Group, Ark?"

The Shadow Devourer shook his non-existent neck as a nod, then took out a recording and playback device from his little mouth, gently turned on the switch, and Fang Zhou's voice came from it.

"The assassination in the city has been brought under control. With Froststar and Bozhukas standing in for the captain, they haven't caused a major disturbance. We've learned of the same assassination outside the city. Don't worry. You can continue your inspection with Judge Spafari. Leave all security measures to the Ghost Corps."

After the recording ended, Tallulah's shadow suddenly expanded in Spafari's barely-moving gaze. Shadow soldiers, some tall and strong, some gigantic, and some twisted and deformed, emerged from the shadow beneath Tallulah's feet.

"Are these... your soldiers?"

Spafari felt a little uncomfortable. This familiar way of appearance reminded him of the "Inner Guards" who had just left. He felt that after he returned, he needed to have a good chat with Speaker Witte about Canaan's extremely abundant martial virtues before reporting on his work.

He suddenly doubted whether those inner guards were really inner guards? Or, in other words, were they really "the emperor's inner guards" or "the inner guards of Ursus"?

When this terrifying thought came to mind, Spafari thought again whether the five existing armies in Ursus could really be the basis for them to continue advancing on this land?

At this moment, he even vaguely agreed with the military nobility's idea of ​​continuing to expand the army. How could a mere five armies sustain Ursus's continued existence on this land? Ursus was already on the brink of extinction, so why not expand the army? Expand the army! It must be expanded immediately!

"I can't say it's mine, I'm just borrowing it temporarily. You heard it, and in the next period of time, I think we can continue your preliminary investigation of Canaan. As for personal safety, with the protection of these ghost troops, I believe there will be no problems."

There was a relaxation in Tallulah's words, which was different from the tension just now. The Ark arrived just in time. If it were only her and Alina's ghost guards, she really didn't know whether they could deal with the next assassination. Assassination is not a head-on attack. Even if the guards have great strength, they cannot guarantee the safety of their employers.

However, with the ghost army having more numbers and types, Talulah felt relieved.

"I hope everything is as you said."

Since Tallulah is so confident, Spafari will naturally not shrink back.

Although he is a rational conservative, that is compared to the radicals who want to actively launch foreign wars. To be honest, this old Ursus also has the passion of an Ursus person in his heart.

And those ghost troops sneaked back into the shadows, but they split into three groups. Some of them stayed in Tallulah's shadow, some went into Alina's shadow, and some went into Spafari's shadow in the uncomfortable look in his eyes.

Perhaps he still prefers the inner guards to these shadow soldiers. At least the inner guards can communicate, but these shadow soldiers... are like dead people.

It's a bit scary.

At this time, in the city hall, several officials who came to Canaan with Spafari were asking Frost Star for an explanation.

Most of those who were able to follow Spafari to Canaan were naturally his confidants, people who paid more attention to resolving domestic conflicts than diverting wars abroad. They were also concerned about easing the relationship between ordinary people and infected people in Ursus, but only the majority of them.

Everyone in the Ursus court knew that this inspection would largely determine whether Ursus would change its attitude towards the infected in the future. Although a 180-degree turn was unlikely, it would at least turn from 180 degrees to 90 degrees, from strict to a neutral attitude similar to that of Longmen.

Even if it does not reach a friendly level, their interests will still suffer great losses. The reason why the source stone mines under their names can bring them a lot of wealth at low cost is because a large part of them use "cheap" infected people. If Ursus changes its policy towards the infected, then getting such excellent cheap labor will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

So even if there's no way to reverse the situation, you still have to know the results of the investigation in advance and prepare in advance. Some even more radical people want to do something about it, but in the end, it all comes to nothing. After all, everyone just wants to make more money and gain more power, not to die. Do you think everyone is as stupid as Gorodovikov?

Ever since the Grand Duke of Baikal defected to the emperor's camp, the military nobles have had a harder and harder time, and naturally have become more and more cautious. All they can do is insert one or two of their own spies into this inspection team to gather some information in advance so that they can come up with some countermeasures before the policies from above come down.

Now that this assassination has occurred, it will surely give those officials who have sneaked into the inspection team an opportunity to turn the tide. This has caused those officials who stand in the emperor's camp and Spafari, who also hope that Canaan can become an important turning point to ease the conflict between Ursus and the infected, to break out in cold sweats.

"Miss Shuangxing, can we address you as such? Although we don't appear to be involved in this assassination, you should be aware that our team isn't the only one on this expedition. This matter will definitely be brought up in court, so we must at least find a way to make Canaan a victim in this incident."

Spafari's confidant said it very clearly. Frost Star knew the seriousness of the matter, but she was not good at this kind of thing at all. You can ask her to charge into battle, but you don't have the ability to ask her to get involved in the muddy water of politics.

"At least find the person responsible for this matter. Find the real instigator, but it's difficult."

Suddenly, a huge figure enveloped the confidant, and the other people around him who came from Saint Jun Castle also held their breath at this moment.

Wendigo, the last pure-blooded Wendigo on this land was standing behind them. The deep, dull voice seemed to echo directly in their minds, and the red eyes made them tremble with fear when they cast a glance at them.

"But there is still a chance."

Wendigo said this, and then behind him, Fang Zhou slowly walked over. At this time, there was still Amiya's band-aid on his face. The cute rabbit Band-Aid made the serious atmosphere at the scene appear a little weirdly relaxed.

"Are you... the Doctor from Rhodes Island?"

Spafari's confidant straightened his expression and looked at Fang Zhou, who smiled and said with a hint of emotion:

"As expected of an official from Saint Fort, was the complete intelligence on Rhodes Island laid out on your desk from the very beginning?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Rhodes Island's recent performance at Lungmen has been truly outstanding, especially the third-generation Originium blocker, which is said to effectively alleviate oripathy. It can be said to be a milestone in humanity's fight against oripathy."

Frost Star next to him had a strange look on his face.

As the creator of the third-generation Originium blocker, she knew what that thing was. To be honest, that medicine could not only be used to fight against mineral sickness. After learning about the power of the healing fruit, she found that this thing was simply the natural enemy of disease. No matter how severe the injuries or the illness, it was just a matter of the amount of power the healing fruit could exert.

As long as the user with the ability can hold on, the healing fruit can heal everything for you to see!

But currently, only Rhodes Island and he can produce the healing factor of the Healing Fruit, so this so-called panacea can basically be said to be a monopoly product.

"You're too kind. Rhodes Island has always been committed to fighting for more legal rights for the infected people of this land. Our ultimate goal is to completely eradicate Ore Disease and consign this scourge that divides humanity to the dustbin of history."

"What a great ideal, but Doctor, the most urgent thing right now is..."

Spafari's confidants will never laugh at those who have dreams. No matter how unrealistic those dreams sound, they will give their kind support. These guys can be said to be a breath of fresh air in the Ursus political circle. However, it can be seen from their age that most of them are young people, in their twenties and thirties, which is also the stage of burning passion and burning dreams.

Spafari chose to train these young people, probably with the idea of ​​allowing these young political forces to cure the political ills of Ursus.

"Don't worry about the assassination. We are already prepared."

The smile on Fang Zhou's face made Spafari's confidant break out in cold sweat. He had also witnessed the scene when Fang Zhou subdued the captain of the assassination team. He estimated that he would never forget the scene of Mantiko turning into ashes in front of them.

"As long as you can come up with a good solution, then we will be relieved. As for the rest, we will do our best to help Canaan get rid of the influence and obtain better treatment at the court meeting after we return."

"Forgetting your trouble."

"You're being polite. Everything we do is to make Ursus great again."

The fire burning in the eyes of the young Ursus man in front of him moved Bozhukas somewhat.

He once had the firm will to devote everything to the country.

But...his current path is contrary to that of his country.

"How long will it take for Tallulah and the others to return?"

Frost Star looked at the time. They just learned from Ark that Tallulah had also been assassinated. They didn't know whether the target was Tallulah or Judge Spafari. But after this happened, Tallulah and the others should return to the city first, right?

"and many more."

Fang Zhou looked at the little guy from the Shadow Devouring Group who had climbed onto his shoulder at some point. As he heard the little guy moving around, he understood the message he was conveying.

"Tallulah and the Spafa judge will continue their preliminary inspection. Security will be handled by the Ghost Corps. They are expected to complete the inspection and return to City Hall in three hours, as scheduled."

"What? You said you want to continue the investigation? But... well, if it's your decision, we will support you."

After Fang Zhou finished speaking, Spafari's confidant had obviously received a call from Spafari. Although he was a little surprised by the other party's decision, the confidant still accepted the decision of the chief justice.

After all, it's not the first or second time.

"Then let's wait here for Tallulah to return."

Fang Zhou said this, and at the same time on the other side.

Click.

In a secluded place, Mantico stumbled back to a house.

"You're back. Did the operation fail?"

Here, there are dozens of Manticos densely packed and ready to go.

Chapter 305: An Epic Feat

"You're back? Did the operation fail?"

"We underestimated Master Wang's strength. That guy's power is quite terrifying. Our next action must raise his threat level to the highest level."

Mantiko, the assassin who came back first after asking questions, stared at the former. He was the deputy captain of this assassination team. Now that the captain died due to the failure of the operation, the command of the entire team came into his hands.

There are now only twenty-three Mantiko assassins left in the entire team. Compared with a regular assassination team, their team capacity is more like a mercenary team, but now is not the time to decide the outcome by numbers.

"Wendigo, Devil Fruit, Demon King, Emperor..."

The deputy captain's eyes flickered, and the silence was broken by the return of another Mantiko.

"It seems that you have now begun to decide whether to continue with the mission or back off."

Although the blond Mantiko looked a little embarrassed, his overall demeanor was quite relaxed, as if he didn't care at all about the failure of his action.

"From the beginning, you were neither on our side nor on the captain's side. Where are you?"

There was a flash of fear in the eyes of the deputy captain Mantiko in front of him, not only because of the extremely high social status that the other party had before the fall of his motherland, but also because of the other party's strength.

The other party is not just a vase that serves the King of Kings and delivers the king's orders.

But the other party's noble status is always incompatible with these assassins who always hide in the gutter. Especially now that the other party has fallen to the same point as them, the desires hidden in the dark side of people's hearts swelled at that moment. Unfortunately, the other party used her strength to tell them that even though she has lost her motherland and the king she is loyal to, she is still not comparable to these beasts in the gutter. This has caused great imbalance in the hearts of some people, led by the deputy captain.

And now, the deputy captain felt that he seemed to have caught a handle on the opponent.

"A secret mission, another mission assigned to me by the Minister. It's confidential, so I don't need to tell you."

You are still as arrogant as ever. We are obviously shady killers who make a living by killing people under the ministers just like them. Why do you look down on us so much?

The deputy captain looked at the blond Mantiko with a vicious look. He thought he had hidden his dark emotions very well, but in the eyes of the blond Mantiko, he could see through them.

Her experience of serving the King of Kings in the past had made her meet countless people, and she had seen many people like the deputy captain.

"Well? Have you made up your mind? Do you want to continue with this seemingly impossible mission, or do you want to back off and return to the future to present the current situation to the Minister?"

Veins bulged on the deputy captain's forehead as he glanced at all the Mantiko assassins around him. They were now looking at him with bright eyes, as if they were all expecting him to make a decision and point out what they should do now that the operation had failed and they had lost their captain.

It is absolutely impossible for them to complete this task with their current strength. The opponent's configuration is luxurious. With their current strength, there is no way to fight against the combination of the Demon King and the King's Master. There is also a pure-blooded Wendigo and an emperor who is as immature as the current Demon King on the opposite side.

But if we add another variable...

The deputy captain took out an exquisite box from his backpack.

The box is carved with intricate patterns, and in the center is a single eye that seems to see through the past and the future.

This was the so-called final guarantee that the minister's messenger found him and gave him before leaving for the future.

He knew what was in the box. He had opened it after the messenger left, and it made him excited and surprised. He did not expect that the minister would give this thing to him.

That is……

He slowly opened the box, revealing the hideous driving watch head inside.

This is……

When the Demon King became Oma Zi-O, a magical thing called the Alien Driving Head appeared on this land. It does not need a driver and can gain more powerful strength than ordinary Kamen Rider.

In the center of the control panel is a tiger-like Chimera monster with wings and a scorpion tail. It is Mantiko's original relative, a fantasy monster named Scorpion Tailed Lion.

"...It's truly remarkable. It seems this is your choice. I won't interfere any further. My mission is much more complicated than yours."

A strange look flashed in the blonde Mantiko's eyes as she looked at the alien driving watch. Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind and finally turned into a decision. Then she turned around and left gracefully, leaving only a slender and elegant back to the deputy captain.

Watching the slender figure leaving with the sound of crisp bells, a trace of desire flashed across the deputy captain's eyes, and as he tightened the Alien Driving Watch in his hand, it turned into a blazing fire of desire.

"Deputy Captain, we..."

"Action, besides this, we have many more..."

The deputy captain's backpack fell to the ground, and a large number of gray-white driving watch heads emerged from it. This scene caught the eyes of the Mantiko assassin who had escaped back, and a yellow-brown light flashed in his eyes.

12:35 PM

The interior of the City Hall was quite lively at this time. Many members of the Integration Movement gathered here. In addition to them, there was also a political team of more than ten people who came from as far away as Saint Castle.

However, there is a clear distinction between the two. The members of the Integration Movement are still taking a wait-and-see attitude towards these officials who came from Saint Castle. Although they are all the more conscious ones in the team and are mentally prepared and agree that Canaan will cooperate with the Ursus officials in the future, it is still too difficult for them to accept being in the same room and having friendly exchanges with this group of Ursus officials who have always been on the opposite side.

The officials who were mistakenly killed were obviously prepared for this. Spafari's confidants did not show any strange expression on their faces. They just gathered together to discuss the next inspection process and how to reduce the impact of the assassination.

The other faction among these officials, that is, those who were sent by the military to lurk and try to cause trouble, have always stayed away from the people of the Integration Movement with some disgust. Some of them are worried that they will be infected with oripathy because they stay in the same room with these hateful infected people for too long.

What they were discussing was naturally the opposite of what Spafari's confidants were discussing. They were thinking about how to put the blame of the assassination directly on Canaan.

Unfortunately, before they arrived, their respected masters had been reassuring them, saying that they would be met by insiders after arriving in Canaan. But they had already been here all morning, and judging by the grand ceremony Canaan had given them, those insiders must have known about their arrival. But so far, they hadn't received any news from those insiders. Could it be that they had already been dealt with by Canaan? What a devastating start.

Since there is no insider to support them, they can only find ways to support themselves. Since they are working for the military masters, there is no reason to give up halfway. Of course, the more important thing is that they cannot afford the cost of giving up halfway.

"Doctor, the Nightbats' intelligence reports indicate that Talulah and the others have returned to the city and are expected to arrive at City Hall in a minute."

Askalon was as elusive as ever. Ark was leaning against the curtain of the podium in the hall when Askalon suddenly appeared from the shadows. It was because of Ark's keen perception that he was able to discover Askalon's presence in advance. Otherwise, an ordinary person would probably be scared to death by this elusive master of assassination sooner or later.

One minute.

Ark sensed the location of Manticore, who was under his control.

In a residential building opposite the city hall, due to today's activities, the residents were all attracted by the lively atmosphere and came to join in the fun, so there were not many people there. Naturally, the assassins took over the building and used it as a place to stake out.

But luckily there weren't many people in the building today, otherwise I might have to wash the floor.

Everyone is in place, and all that's left is to leave everything to time. However... I didn't expect that the configuration of this assassination team is so large. Nearly forty assassins are really too redundant for an assassination team, so the assassins are now scattered, squatting in all the places around where they can see the city hall, waiting for the opportunity to kill the target and escape.

To deal with these assassins, besides myself, there are only Amiya, Kal'tsit, Bodracasti, Froststar, Alina and Tallulah on my side.

As for the remaining armed forces, if they were assembled, they might be able to contain the Mantiko assassins who used mass-produced control meters, but in order to reduce casualties, Ark had already asked the Shadow Legion to prepare in secret.
