Inside the hall.
Everyone looked at the empty metal box and fell into deep thought.
Nangong Jing frowned slightly. "The Beast Tide happened a few days after the Blade Demons were captured. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Lin Ling said, "Maybe his original goal wasn't Azay? Maybe capturing Azay was just a coincidence? "
Lu Zewei pursed his lips and smiled. "We'll know when we ask."
With that, Lu Ze contacted Michael.
After a series of beeps, Michael picked up the call.
His projection appeared in the hall, and he looked very tired.
After seeing Lu Ze, Michael's mouth twitched. "Lu Ze, don't tell me you picked up another Blade Demons who had a heatstroke?!"
He felt a headache whenever he thought of the word "heatstroke."
Lu Ze smiled and said, "General Michael, you must be joking. How can I be so lucky? Also, the Beast Tide just passed. Where would I find a Blade Demons who had a heatstroke? "
Michael rolled his eyes. "You also know that the Beast Tide just passed? I'm still at the defense line and have a lot of things to do. If you didn't contact me, I definitely wouldn't have picked up the call. "
Lu Ze smiled. "Thank you for your hard work, General Michael. I was just about to ask, how's the situation at the defense line?"
Michael was speechless. "You called me just to ask about this?"
Although he was complaining, he still smiled. "The losses this time were much smaller than expected. Other than losing a few battleships, the casualties were close to zero. This is a miracle!"
"It's not just me. Even the other officers couldn't believe the casualty ratio. The Beast Tide was fierce this time, and we were all prepared for heavy losses."
Lu Ze and the others smiled when they heard Michael's words.
Nangong Jing and the others looked at Ying Ying with gentle eyes.
They all knew that this was due to Ying Ying. She even ate two star state void beasts before they got close to the defense line.
However, he couldn't tell Michael about this. Lu Ze just smiled. "That's great."
Michael looked at Lu Ze's smile and pouted.
He felt that Lu Ze wasn't surprised enough.
However, he wasn't dumb enough to think that Lu Ze did something.
After all, the defense line was a few hundred light-years away. Even a saint wouldn't be able to take care of so many Shenwu Army soldiers, much less Lu Ze.
Therefore, he didn't think too much about it and only said, "You didn't contact me just to ask me this, right? If there's nothing, I'll be hanging.
Lu Ze smiled. "Do you know the reason for this beast tide?"
Michael's face instantly became serious. He frowned and looked at Lu Ze. "You know?"
Lu Ze: "I don't know."
"…"
Michael looked at Lu Ze's smile, and his mouth spasmed. He was furious.
"What are you asking if you don't know?"
Lu Ze didn't notice Michael's annoyed expression and smiled. "But I might have a clue here."
"What?!"
Michael looked at Lu Ze in disbelief.
"We didn't leave the defense line after the beast tide ended in order to prevent another beast tide. General Cheng Feng has sent elite troops to investigate a few times, but they didn't find any clues. How did you find out??"
Lu Ze smiled. "Do you remember that level-8 planetary state Blade Demons?"
Michael nodded. "The one who knows darkness god art? Of course. "
Lu Ze brought back a level-8 planetary state Blade Demons with darkness god art. This left a deep impression on him.
"Good. I found something in his spoils that didn't belong to the Blade Demons civilization … It's the creation of a higher civilization."
Lu Ze explained the two black boxes to Michael. They were the order-weakening space bomb and the metal ball with the detection function.
Michael's eyes widened in shock, but he didn't say anything. He just listened quietly.
"… Now, this black box is empty. The thing inside is gone."
Hearing this, Michael's body stiffened, and he fell into silence. The atmosphere became silent.
Michael said slowly, "Lu Ze, not long after you caught this Blade Demons, the void beast tide appeared … Now, you found an empty box in his spoils. So, you suspect he did it?"
He felt this possibility wasn't small.
Lu Zewei smiled and nodded. "What about that captive? Can you ask him something? "
Michael frowned. "His cultivation is too high. We don't have anyone who can control his thoughts. He has been locked up in jail for the past few days. Originally, the legion commander wanted to bring him back to the Divine Martial City. However, before we could do so, the beast tide appeared."
"He's still locked up in the base's jail."
Lu Ze and the others looked at each other.
A level-8 planetary state was too strong. Mental force god art masters were extremely rare, much less someone with seduction god art like Kaza Akizuki.
Qiuyue Hesha was probably the strongest person in the human race with mind control god art.
Kaza Akizuki frowned. "That Blade Demons is too strong. I can't control them for now."
Lu Zewei sighed. "Then, we can only think of other ways."
The atmosphere was silent. Michael said, "I'll report to General Cheng Feng and contact the base. Tell them to keep an eye on that Blade Demons being."
Lu Ze nodded. "Okay."
That was the reason he had informed Michael about it.
If it was really that Blade Demons who started the beast tide, then everyone would be very interested in the reason.
By then, it would be quite a bit of merit.
It would be quite a lot of merit points.
…
At the border defense line of the controlled region, Michael hung up and sighed.
He looked at his adjutant with a serious expression. "Contact the base and tell them to take care of that Blade Demons."
The young adjutant nodded. "Yes!"
Michael began to contact the command center.
Asteroid base, in an office, the bald bulky man Cheng Feng looked at the star map and frowned.
The beast tide came suddenly, but they couldn't find the source.
After a while, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
Although they couldn't find the source, they couldn't find such a large beast tide after searching for thousands of light-years. This meant that the beast tide was really over.
Let's go back.
Cheng Feng had a plan.
After all, the Shenwu Army had other things to do. It wasn't good to keep guarding this area.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Cheng Feng's deep voice sounded.
The office door opened, and a brown-haired man in armor walked in.
"General Cheng Feng, the deputy army commander of the Shang Yang base, Michael, wants to contact you. He said he has something urgent to report."
"Michael?"
Cheng Feng was slightly taken aback.
"What's the urgent matter? Pick it up. "
Hearing Cheng Feng's words, the brown-haired man nodded and picked up the call.
Michael's holographic projection appeared in the hall.
He saluted Cheng Feng. "General Cheng Feng!"
Cheng Feng nodded. "Yes, what's the matter?"
Michael took a deep breath. Then, his expression became serious. "I might have clues about the beast tide."
"What?!"
Cheng Feng's body stiffened. His chi surged, creating a gust of wind in the office.
Then, he stared straight at Michael. "You said you found clues about the beast tide??"
Michael heard this and shook his head. "I didn't find it. It was Monarch of the New Dawn Lu Ze."
He didn't dare to falsely claim this credit.
"Lu Ze?"
Hearing Michael's words, Cheng Feng was even more confused.
As a star state, he belonged to the true upper echelon of the Federation. Naturally, he knew more about Lu Ze than other people.
He also knew how much the saints thought of this young man.
Otherwise, why would the saints give him the title of monarch?
But even so, he was still confused.
Lu Ze was only a mortal evolution state, and he was in the controlled region when the beast tide happened. How would he know about the beast tide??
Seeing Cheng Feng's strange expression, Michael couldn't help but feel relieved.
It turned out that even someone as powerful as General Cheng Feng would be surprised.
This comforted his heart that was pierced by Lu Ze.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Feng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He looked at Michael and said, "Tell me the details."
"Yes!"
Michael said, "We'll have to start from when Lu Ze captured a level-8 planetary state Blade Demons who knew darkness god art …"
"… Wait!"
Cheng Feng looked dazedly at Michael. This made Michael extremely happy.
When he took in the blade demon, his expression was very similar to General Cheng Feng's, wasn't it?
It seemed that Lu Ze was the one in the wrong!
"He captured a level-8 planetary state Blade Demons alive??"
Michael nodded seriously. "According to Lu Ze, that Blade Demons had a heat stroke. He picked it up."
Cheng Feng: "…"
The corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down from the shock.
He thought he knew Lu Ze well enough, but now, he realized he didn't know enough.
It seemed that only the saints truly knew Lu Ze.
Cheng Feng didn't think anymore and said, "Continue."
Michael couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Cheng Feng, who had quickly regained his composure.
As expected of General Cheng Feng, his temperament was really steady.
Then, he told him about what Lu Ze told him.
Soon, Cheng Feng's office fell silent.
Michael looked at Cheng Feng and didn't say anything.
He told him everything he knew, and from then on, General Cheng Feng didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Feng slowly said, "Give the order to disband the defense line. I'll go to Shang Yang Station. This time, I'll take that Blade Demons to Shenwu City."
Michael smiled. "Yes, General."
At this moment, Michael's adjutant rushed over with a pale face. "General, something happened!"
