"Crimson Constellation?"
Fangzheng raised his head and looked at Fey in front of him.
"They're here to cause trouble again?"
"Yes."
Fey nodded slightly.
"The Crimson Constellation was entrusted by the Empire to come here to protect the Empire's representatives. According to them, reliable intelligence shows that the Empire's terrorists will assassinate the Empire's representatives during the Cesemlia Trade Conference. "
"Hehe, interesting. Terrorists' assassination … .they really underestimate us."
Fangzheng sneered.
"What about now?"
"The leader of the Crimson Constellation and his 100 subordinates have all been annihilated."
"Good job. Are you alright?"
Fangzheng looked at Fey's dirty clothes. Fey shook her head.
"I'm fine. Blackie gave me a shot of medical glue, and I completely recovered."
"Good job. Thank you for your hard work."
Fangzheng smiled at Fey. He had already heard the details from the Xenomorphs. Fangzheng had nothing to criticize about Fey's actions. Leaving Crossrail was to deliberately lure the enemy to attack. In the deep mountains and wild forests, there were no worries about causing a commotion among the people, so they could devote themselves to the battle wholeheartedly. Not to mention, Xenomorphs were lurking almost everywhere in Crossrail, so there was no need to worry about traps.
Fey knew this as well, which was why she had acted in this way.
"It's nothing, Mr. Fangzheng."
Fey paused for a moment.
"But according to the interrogation, the Crimson Constellation currently has a total of 300 members. Among them, 100 elite soldiers have followed the Crimson Warghoul into the territory of Crosspel, and another 200 members are waiting outside to be contacted. I think we should take this opportunity to wipe them all out …"
"We're not in a hurry."
Fangzheng was not surprised by Fey's eagerness. After all, it was the Crimson Constellation that destroyed Fey's hometown. Although the culprit had been killed by Fangzheng, that did not mean that Fey would forgive them. Furthermore, the Scarlet Constellation was the most notorious among the Hunting Groups. If they were able to capture them all in one fell swoop and completely annihilate them, it would naturally be a good thing.
"The Cissamuria Trade Conference is about to begin. It won't be too late to get busy after the conference, especially after hearing about this … I still need your help."
Even though the entire Crossbell seemed peaceful and prosperous on the surface, it was, in fact, filled with unimaginable, terrifying creatures in the darkness behind it.
That's right, in the sewers, streams, and caves of Crossbell, there were monsters lurking inside, waiting to tear the intruders into pieces. As a matter of fact, before this, many people with ill intentions had tried to sneak into Crossrail through all sorts of methods or infiltrate the Starlight Tower to carry out investigations and sabotage. It went without saying that these people would become the Xenomorph's food and nest after entering the tower, never to return alive.
"Alright."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Fey hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"It's about time. Let's go back."
Fangzheng glanced at his watch and stood up with a smile.
"I'm afraid Qiya has been waiting anxiously."
The so-called Qiya was the girl Fangzheng brought out from the deepest part of the Sun Citadel. After sleeping for three days, she woke up. But apart from knowing that her name was Qiya, she did not know anything else.
Although Qiya had a good personality, was very obedient, smart, and cute, the thing that left the deepest impression on Fangzheng was her voice. In fact, when Qiya woke up and spoke for the first time, Fangzheng was almost shocked. Her voice was exactly the same as Shana Louise Eliza Mizunose Iaria's.
But compared to them, Qiya was very straightforward. She was not domineering or arrogant at all. This was the first time Fangzheng heard Shana's voice with such a personality, so it was quite refreshing.
It should be said that it was quite refreshing.
Especially every time Fangzheng returned home, he would see Qiya calling his name with a grin and throwing herself at him with her arms wide open …
Well, Fangzheng could not imagine that Shana or Louise would have the same reaction.
Just the thought of Shana calling his name with an innocent and cute smile and throwing herself at him gave Fangzheng goosebumps.
"Idiot pervert" was more suitable for her.
Although Qiya did not know anything at first, she absorbed knowledge quite quickly. Even if it was her first time cooking according to a book, the food she made was at the level of a professional chef. Fangzheng was not surprised by this. After all, according to Mariabell, this girl was an artificial alchemical lifeform created by the Kuroyce Family to create the Treasure of Zero. And in Fangzheng's impression, artificial lifeforms seemed to learn quite quickly ….
For Fangzheng, the Hunting Corps was just a small inconvenience, not worth his attention at all. He was now only waiting for the upcoming trade conference …. Or rather, it was not just him, but the entire people of Cloisbell were also looking forward to it. This wasn't just because he would be able to see the important guests from the other countries, but also because the first day of the trade conference would be the day when the Starlight Tower would be completely opened to the public, revealing his true self to everyone.
After all, as the largest landmark construction project in Cloisbell, the Starlight Tower had been under construction for several years, so it had become a household name in Cloisbell. Although the huge tower in front of them was still covered by a curtain, coupled with the outer walls, most people had no idea what the tower looked like. But just the sight of the tower, which seemed to reach the clouds, was enough to excite them.
Now, in Cloisbell, everyone was discussing the situation of the tower. Even many people in the villages and towns outside Cloisbell decided to go there on the day to see the true face of the tower with their own eyes.
At the same time, in the capital of Erebonia, a person looked quite depressed.
"Sigh …."
Looking at the invitation letter in front of him, Olivier — or rather, Prince Olivier — let out a long sigh. Not long ago, he received an order from his father, Ugent Laizer Arnor, asking him to represent the royal family to participate in this trade conference in Cisemria. Of course, if it was just an ordinary trade conference, Olivier would not have such a headache. But the problem was that the name on the invitation letter made him a little speechless.
Although he was called a dissolute prince by the outside world, Olivier was not a fool. Of course, he knew everything that happened in Cloisbell during this period of time. It could even be said that Olivier already knew what the theme of this trade conference was. Or rather, they all knew it very well.
But how should they deal with it?
There was no answer to this question within the Empire.
If they were facing other forces, the Empire would never give up on Cloisbell because of this. But facing Starlight Technology, they were in a dilemma. On the one hand, the dignity of the Empire also needed to be maintained, especially at this time, where the friction between the aristocratic party and the reformist party was getting more and more serious. If anything happened to Cloisbell, the aristocratic party might rise up and cause the Empire to fall into a crisis.
But going against Starlight Technology?
Not to mention anything else, just the Snowstorm alone was enough to give them a headache. It far exceeded the range and height of the most advanced warships of the Empire, and it had a terrifying power that was enough to completely erase the capital from the ground with a single blow. These were all reflected in Prince Olivier's report. It was probably not easy to go against such a force.
Although the Empire also had a terrifying weapon like the railway cannon to deter Cloisbell, once the two sides went to war, the outcome was uncertain.
Not only that, but the development of the situation also made him a little worried. In particular, the aristocratic party was quite tough, expressing that the Empire's territory must not be lost, and even suggesting assassination. Putting aside whether assassination was feasible, in the face of a person who could bare-handedly beat up an existence that had fused with the Treasure of Space, who could do it?
Even the Empire's most famous Swordsmith of Light, Victor S. Arsayed, said that he had once fought with Fangzheng a few years ago. In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat and was instantly killed by Fangzheng with just one move. If it weren't for the fact that it was just a sparring session and not a battle, perhaps he would have died in the hands of the other party.
Even the Swordsmith of Light admitted that he was no match for the other party, so who could assassinate him?
"Aiya, Big Brother."
At this moment, suddenly, a sweet voice reached Olivier's ears. He turned his head and saw a girl with soft, wavy blonde hair in a red dress walking over with a smile and sitting opposite him.
"I didn't expect to see such an expression on Big Brother's face."
"Because things are really giving me a headache, Elfin."
Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, Olivier smiled bitterly and shook his head. As a prince, although he was not the heir to the Emperor, most people did not dare to talk to him casually. The girl in front of him was one of the exceptions. She was Elfin Laizer Arnor, the princess of the Erebonian royal family.
"Is it because of Cloisbell's Western Cimmeria Trade Conference?"
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, Cloisbell should be declaring independence at this trade conference … This is actually not a secret. After all, they've never kept anything they've done a secret all this time. Or rather, they deliberately passed this information to us."
"They really dare to do that?"
Elfen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Olivier's words.
"Aren't they afraid of the Empire's wrath and war?"
"If they were afraid, do you think they would still do this? Not to mention, we're facing a tricky enemy this time. "
"A tricky enemy?"
"That's right."
Olivier nodded, his expression turning serious.
"Starlight Technology."
"Starlight Technology … Big Brother, are you talking about the company that manufactures advanced conductive entertainment equipment?"
Elfin was even more puzzled when she heard the name.
"Haha, that's just a facade. Indeed, Starlight Technology has not set foot in the field of conductive military equipment, but focuses on the development of entertainment equipment. Although I don't know why, in fact, Starlight Technology has power far beyond that of the entire continent."
"That's really interesting …."
Elfen's eyes glinted in glints.
"If you don't mind, why don't you tell me more about it, Big Brother?"
"Of course."
Generally speaking, this kind of information should be kept confidential, but Olivier knew very well that Cloisbell's independence was probably irreversible this time. With Fangzheng and Starlight Technology as their backing, neither the Empire nor the Republic could pose any threat to them …. All he could do now was to obtain the support of the members of the royal family, and … .to prepare them mentally.
