To the Mist Fire Warriors, the Masquerade Ball's attack was very sudden and swift.
Although to outsiders, the outer world guests seemed to be the Mist Fire Warriors' "alliance", in reality, that wasn't the case. Just like what Fangzheng had previously investigated, even if the outer world guests were treated as the "righteous" faction in the struggle between good and evil in Xianxia novels, there were at least seven major sects. Just like how the "Demon Sect" led by the "Masquerade Ball" wasn't a sect. Apart from the "Masquerade Ball", the Disciples of the Red World also had other organizations and forces. However, because the Masquerade Ball had the most number of people among the Disciples of the Red World, it had the greatest influence.
If one were to use Jianghu as an analogy, then the outer world guests and the Masquerade Ball were basically the Shaolin Temple and the Sun Moon Sect, respectively holding the ears of the black and white paths. But one couldn't assume that the Kunlun Sect or Ethereal Palace didn't exist because of this.
It was the same for the outer world guests. Fangzheng had already learned from Hill that each branch of the outer world guests was equivalent to a "sect". They had different ideas, different directions, and different methods. For example, Hill and the other outer world guests who were mainly humans hoped to reform the outer world guests to increase efficiency. But the outer world guests who were mainly Mist Fire Warriors hoped to act according to the rules passed down from ancient times. In other words, they wanted to give the Mist Fire Warriors enough autonomy and let them fight based on their own judgment.
But now, the outer world guests who were mainly Mist Fire Warriors had suffered fierce attacks from the Disciples of the Red World almost overnight!
"It's not just Shanghai. Even the outer world guests in Tokyo, North America, and Western Europe have fallen into a bitter battle?"
Sister Zofee's face was ashen as she looked at the information in front of her. The situation was already chaotic. Almost all the outer world guests who had been ambushed were desperately asking for reinforcements. There were even a few branches that had been destroyed by the Disciples of the Red World.
"Ring ring ring —!"
"Ring ring ring —!!"
The urgent ringing of the phone rang in the hall. The staff of the outer world residences hurriedly picked up one phone call after another. There were even Fire Mist warriors who used the Freedom Technique to contact the outer world residences that were thousands of miles away.
Everyone's faces were filled with anxiety and panic. It was no wonder. After all, just a moment ago, they were living a peaceful life and discussing the recent situation. But the next moment, following the urgent phone rings, the peaceful life was completely shattered. What replaced it was chaos and the start of battle.
"Commander-in-Chief Zofee!"
Suddenly, a man pushed open the door and rushed into the office. His face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
"I've just received news that the core of Dorel's Guild was attacked by an unknown Red World disciple. Dorel, the Blower of Gloomy Dreams, died in battle! The central core has been completely destroyed! "
"What?!"
Zofee couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up abruptly and strode over to him. She reached out for the letter in his hand, tore it open, and read its contents. After reading the entire letter, the nun closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Another old friend has left us …"
"Report!"
However, before Zuo Fei could calm himself down, another person hurriedly ran over. When he saw the tense atmosphere in the office, he shut his mouth. Looking at his subordinate's expression, Zofee shook his head.
"Don't worry about it. Tell me, what happened this time?"
"Yes … Sir."
After hearing Zuo Fei's order, the man hesitated for a moment before answering.
"We just received a report that the Montebello Route was attacked by the Red World disciples. Pietro, the Listener, was killed and the route was completely destroyed!"
"What? How did that happen?! "
Although she was mentally prepared, Sister Zofee's expression still changed drastically when she heard the news. The Dorel Group and the Montebelldi Sea Route were important core departments of the outer world. The 'Blower of Gloomy Dreams' Dorel was a mild-mannered conservative who was responsible for mediating the differences and conflicts between humans and the Fire Mist Warriors. The Montebello Route, which Pietro, the Listener, was in charge of was the most important transportation hub of the Mist Warriors in Europe. The deaths of these two people was a serious blow to the Outer World!
If the entire Outer World was compared to a person, this was equivalent to cutting off one of his legs and one of his hands! In a short period of time, the functions of the Outer World were almost completely paralyzed!
"Send someone to investigate immediately! What's going on! Why did something like this happen! "
As a commander, Zuo Fei was no fool. The Red World disciples suddenly launched attacks on the Outer World's important strongholds all over the world. This was obviously a long-planned operation.
But what Zuo Fei couldn't figure out was that the enemy's timing was very ingenious, and their actions were purposeful. The Red World disciples first acted as if they were going to attack the other Outer World disciples, luring the central core of the Outer World disciples to send a large number of Mist Warriors to reinforce and resist them. Then, they seized the opportunity when the Outer World disciples' core forces were empty and took them down in one go. This not only meant that the Red World disciples had a strict organization, but also that they knew the situation of the Outer World disciples like the back of their hands.
After all, the headquarters of the Dorel's Guild and the Montebello Route were destroyed by the Red World disciples. Although they were empty of forces, they were still the headquarters. Not only were their locations well hidden, but they were also equipped with a large number of defensive spells. Even if the Red World disciples seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, it shouldn't have been that easy.
But the problem was, how could they connect with the two core forces that took down the Outer World disciples in such a short period of time?
How exactly did they do it?
"That's why I said, we're not villains. Sometimes, friends are necessary for us."
Sitting on the throne, Fangzheng revealed a proud smile as he read the good news in front of him. And in response to his words, Belo bowed respectfully.
"Just as you said, Alliance Master."
That's right, the intelligence work of the masquerade party was done well, but no matter how good it was, it wasn't good enough to strip the underwear of the Outer World disciples. But Fangzheng naturally wouldn't be so inflexible. In this world, enemies and friends had always been determined by interests and values. In fact, before he looked for Shana, Fangzheng contacted Hill and explained part of the Snake of Sacrifice plan to him. And Hill, as Fangzheng expected, after learning that there was a way to make all the Red World disciples and Mist Warriors leave Earth, and that there would no longer be any Red World disciples coming to Earth in the future, he immediately changed his mind and joined Fangzheng's side.
And as a sign of allegiance, Hill gave Fangzheng the map and intelligence of the Mist Warriors' strongholds of the Outer World disciples. It was also because of this intelligence that the masquerade party was able to move out in one fell swoop and quickly took down several important locations of the Outer World disciples.
"In this way, the transportation and intelligence of the European part will be completely interrupted, and most of the Americas and Asia have also been taken down by us."
Belo also couldn't hide her excitement, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up with a hint of pride.
"There is news from Sudenan that the Outer World branch in Shanghai has completely fallen, and the small resistance in other places will soon be suppressed."
"General did a good job."
Hearing Belo's report, Fangzheng nodded. He didn't care about the casualties of the Disciples of the Red World and the Mist Warriors, but Shana certainly wouldn't be as idle as him. This was also the reason why Fangzheng chose to imprison Shana before. Shana, who was inside, didn't know anything anyway, and just treated it as if she was sleeping … Well, it's not a big problem.
"It's about time to start withdrawing."
"Now?"
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Belo seemed a little surprised.
"Using too much force will only bring about the opposite effect. Since the predetermined goal has been achieved, it's enough. If we continue, it will be self-defeating and force them to put down their prejudices and unite. When that time comes, it will be troublesome. "
While speaking, Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Next, let those humans and the Mist Warriors argue. It's a good opportunity for us to start the second stage of Life Control. By the way, spread the news. At this point, at least let the other Disciples of the Red World know what they are fighting for. Of course, don't say it too clearly, just let them understand it themselves. "
"Yes."
Hearing this, Belo didn't say anything more. Although she was in the masquerade party as an adviser and military adviser, Fangzheng's plan was very simple and direct. And for now, as the other party said, it had achieved the desired effect, so continuing would only be a waste of power. Thus, Beleupeol bowed respectfully to Fangzheng, turned around, and left the hall.
"As expected of Big Brother."
After Belo left, Tiria came over with a sweet smile.
"Whether it's the humans or the Firemist Warriors, they've all been toyed with by big brother. It's a pity that most of the disciples of the red world are too stupid and completely don't understand what effect you've had on this battle."
"It seems that there are quite a lot of objections?"
Hearing Tiria's complaint, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows, and Tiria nodded.
"Yes, those Disciples of the Red World are complaining behind our backs. It's really unpleasant …"
"It's understandable. After all, they have a little temper too."
Fangzheng didn't pay much attention to Tiria's indirect complaint. In the current masquerade party, except for the Three Pillars and the few remaining high-level big shots, the other Disciples of the Red World only joined after the "masquerade party" was established. At that time, the Snake of Sacrifice had already been stuffed into a crevice and imprisoned for life. Therefore, for these Disciples of the Red World who joined the organization later, the "Snake of Sacrifice" that had nothing to do with them was obviously not as convincing as the Three Pillars. It could even be said that for the past 3,000 years, the Disciples of the Red World in the masquerade party had basically regarded the Three Pillars as their real superiors.
But now … a big shot had appeared out of nowhere to be their boss, and their superiors were so respectful to this big shot … Well, it was no wonder that these Disciples of the Red World were complaining.
But this was good.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng smiled.
