Hearing Silin's question, Guidie Shiqi frowned. "Who?"
Cillin glanced at the other side, "Keep pretending, keep pretending. That earthquake was obviously man-made. We weren't in a seismic zone, but there was an earthquake, and it happened while we were hunting. It was a three-way earthquake, and it forced the beasts to one side. This is a beast horde that wants to kill us, or take advantage of the chaos to kill us. Those killers were provoked by you, weren't they? "
Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail glanced at each other. They both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They weren't faking it. They really hadn't expected it.
"You mean, those people tried to kill you?" Guidie Shiqi asked tentatively.
Seeing the expressions on Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail's faces, Silin and Eudy were also surprised.
"Yes, they tried to kill us," Silin said with certainty.
"Could it be that they wanted to kill someone on your team?" Guidie Shiqi asked again.
Silin thinks about the situation. The first to be attacked were Eudy, Kari, and Xiao Shang. They were all old members of the Sixth Division, so it was possible. But...
"Or maybe we were on their hit list," Eudy, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.
Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail frowned even harder. They had an idea, but they couldn't confirm it.
"Alright, stop beating around the bush. Who were those killers?" Silin asked.
Swallowtail looked up at Silin. "How do you know they were killers and not other hunters?"
"Professional killers have a different aura than professional hunters." Silin had met many professional killers before, so he was very sensitive to the aura they exuded. That was why he was able to sense the killers' presence. At the time, Eudy and the others were in the forest. If they had flown into the sky, they would have become live targets for the killers. At least they had some cover in the forest.
"You're right. They're from the 'Hades' organization. On the list of killers, only Pluto likes to assassinate invisibly, "Guidie Shiqi answered.
Pluto?
In the Star Alliance's assassin ranking, the "Netherworld King" assassin organization was ranked in the top five. Furthermore, its ranking had soared in the past two years, and it was even able to charge into the top three. It was very difficult to estimate the gap between the top three assassin organizations. Thus, the "Netherworld King" could be considered an upstart among the assassin organizations, and its reputation in the Star Alliance was very resounding.
Ghost Butterfly Seventeen continued, "Hades has formed an alliance with Heaven's Birth. As you all know, GAL is a place where everyone has to work together to survive. That's why the assassin organizations have started to form alliances. When other hunter groups joined smaller groups, Heaven's Birth, one, Heaven, and God, Heaven's Birth not only recruited smaller hunter groups, but also hooked up with Pluto. That's not the big deal. What's important is that Heaven's Birth and Lan Hudie don't get along. They've already had a few conflicts. "
At this point, Guidie Shiqi helplessly pointed at himself and Swallowtail, who was sitting beside him with a solemn expression. "We were originally a small team, but we had a conflict with Heaven's Birth. After Pluto's people joined us, our situation became more and more difficult, so we split up and left. Those killers were probably the group that chased after us.
However, after Swallowtail and I left in the aircraft, we found that the aircraft had malfunctioned. We landed on this planet, abandoned the aircraft, and planned to hide and heal while waiting for reinforcements. We didn't expect that there would be so many difficult exotic beasts when we landed, and they made us even more injured. After that, we met your team members. You know what happened next. "
Lan Hudie's individual strength was strong, but with Heaven's Birth and Pluto working together, it would be difficult for Lan Hudie's small team to resist their combined attack.
"As for why Pluto's people wanted to kill you, that's what I'm curious about. Their actions showed that they were already going against Lan Hudie, so why would they want to kill you? If you were someone they didn't know, they wouldn't have attacked. But obviously, they must have recognized that you were from Vanguard. They caused the chaos in the beast horde to force us out and kill you at the same time. Offending two of the big four at the same time, what were they thinking? Were they fearless? I really don't understand. "Guidie Shiqi spread his hands.
Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail didn't understand, and neither did Silin and Eudy. Although they weren't part of the A Team, they were still the hunters of Vanguard. "Pluto's" people actually killed them as soon as they arrived, not leaving any room for negotiation. Eudy shuddered at the thought of the situation. If it wasn't for Silin's appearance, he might have been seriously injured or even gone to see his ancestors.
After all, the information he received was too little. Plus, he had left the League of Stars for almost three years. Many things had happened in these three years, and even now, Silin couldn't think of a reason.
"Do you have any information on 'Fog' and 'Wushe'?" Silin asked.
"There's nothing we can do. The assassin organizations on the assassin leaderboard are forming alliances, but the two giants outside the leaderboard are excluded. Why would they need to form an alliance? Even if they formed an alliance, they would only look for people at the level of 'Azrael,' right? Or directly form an alliance with some of the core members of the big four hunter groups. I can't get any information on people at that level. "
He wouldn't get as much information as he needed even if he kept asking, so Silin gestured for the two of them to leave.
Guidie Shiqi stood up and took two steps towards the door, then stopped and turned to look at Silin. "I want to ask, are the assassins that Pluto sent after us still in the forest of that hunting planet?"
Celine looked at him calmly, "He's dead."
Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail were speechless.
In fact, they were prepared to join forces with the reinforcements from Lan Hudie's Hunter Group to take revenge after receiving news of the assassins that Pluto had sent after them. Who knew that Silin's words would make them choke on their words.
"They're all dead?" There were at least thirty assassins in the group that came after them, right?
"I don't know." Silin thought for a moment. "More than thirty died. I don't know if there are any left."
Guidie Shiqi's face twitched. He turned around and walked out the door.
"I'll have Wheeze give you the bill," Silin added.
Guidie Shiqi, who had just walked out of the door, stumbled when he heard this. He knew that Silin wouldn't ask for nothing after bringing them here and injecting them with high-quality medicine. He hated bills the most! How despicable!
After Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail left the meeting room, the two of them whispered to each other.
"Why haven't I heard of such a character in Vanguard before? More than thirty assassins from Pluto were all killed, and this group of people didn't seem to be seriously injured. Other than some fatigue, they didn't seem to be injured at all, "Swallowtail said.
Guidie Shiqi was also at a loss. His understanding of the Vanguard B Squadrons was limited to a small number of people, and they were all at least at the rank of lieutenant commander. It was a complete coincidence that he had met Silin back then. As for the people in the B Squadrons, he knew even less about them. In Guidie Shiqi's mind, the people in the B Squadrons didn't need to pay attention to them. But this time, the people in this squad had completely overturned his understanding.
What kind of people are they?! This kind of combat power was more than enough to occupy a spot in the A Squadron!
The two of them didn't walk far before they saw Shusag squatting in a corner and smoking. Guidie Shiqi ran over.
Shusag was reflecting on his encounter with the assassins. This was the first time he had encountered a team of assassins other than the one sent by that minor noble family to hunt him down. Moreover, the assassins here were much more difficult to deal with than the ones he had encountered back then.
What surprised Shusag the most was that Silin had told him that these assassins were average at best. If an average assassin was enough to nearly kill him, then what about the stronger assassins Silin mentioned? Wouldn't he be slaughtered if he ran into them? This won't do. I need to train harder.
While Shusag was thinking about how to improve his strength, he saw Guidie Shiqi walking toward him.
"Hey, bro. How many people are in your B Squadron?"
Shusag blew out a ring of smoke. The fact that the kid called him "bro" instead of "uncle" made him feel a lot better.
"Haven't you seen almost all of our team members?"
Guidie Shiqi opened his mouth, but in the end, he let out a dry chuckle and walked toward the lounge Silin had arranged for them with Swallowtail.
"Say, Swallowtail, do you think our Lan Hudie is really the strongest among the four great Hunter regiments?"
Swallowtail thought for a moment before answering, "We used to be."
In other words, he wasn't sure now, and he couldn't be sure in the future either.
While Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail were surprised to learn that these seemingly unreliable people had slaughtered more than thirty Hades assassins, they also felt relieved. If this squad really was the same size as the other B Squadrons in Vanguard, and every member of this squad was as strong as they were, then the four great Hunter regiments would probably no longer be the four great Hunter regiments.
After Guidie Shiqi and Swallowtail left, Silin and Eudy were exchanging their opinions when Beaver told Silin that he had received a call from the A Squadron. Silin told him to transfer the call to them directly.
A light screen popped up on the conference table in front of Silin and Kari. After the call was transferred, a familiar face appeared on the screen.
He wore a big black hat that covered almost half of his face, and the sharp eyes under the hat were always enough to make people stop in their tracks.
"Senior Songba Leruo," Silin called out.
It was still the same expressionless face, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"Silin, the main reason I'm contacting you this time is to inform you of one thing. Not long ago, the Seventh B Squadron suffered a joint attack from the Heaven's Birth Hunter regiments and the Hades assassin organization. They suffered great losses, and if the Third B Squadron hadn't arrived in time to rescue them, the entire Seventh B Squadron would have had to rebuild itself. "
Silin and Eudy shuddered when they heard this. It was that serious? Normally, a B Squadron would only be brought up when more than half of the B Squadron had died. If that was the case, then the Seventh B Squadron had suffered great losses.
"Right now, the relationship between Heaven's Birth and Vanguard is very tense. You must be careful if you encounter Heaven's Birth!" Songba Leruo said.
"I know. We've actually run into a group of assassins already." Silin told Songba Leruo about the previous incident.
"Anyway, you must be careful. The situation is unclear right now, and you can't trust anyone completely. Also, the higher-ups have decided to hold a meeting fifty days from now, and all B Squadron commanders and vice commanders must attend."
"Alright, we understand."
After the conversation with Songba Leruo, Silin thought that he could contact Moon, but he discovered that he couldn't get in touch with him at all. They were on the same starship, and yet he couldn't get in touch with Moon at all? After failing to get in touch with Moon, Silin decided to contact Sigma instead.
Right now, Sigma was busy working in its indoor orchard. It had discovered a lot of good seedlings on the hunting planet this time, and it wasn't planning to use genetic engineering to improve them. It preferred naturally occurring species.
After Silin contacted Sigma, the first thing he asked was about the orchard. It was a blessing to be able to eat fresh fruits during a space voyage, and the answer he got from Sigma was very satisfactory. Sigma was indeed skilled.
It was only after learning about the orchard that Cillin asked, "Do you know what happened to Yue? I can't get in touch with him. "
"Moon said that he's tired and wants to rest. He told us not to disturb him," Sigma replied.
Tired?
A robot that could work for a long time just by absorbing light energy was saying that he was tired?
Bullshit!
But before Silin could ask any further, the light screen on the conference table started flashing. All kinds of data and strings of characters were jumping rapidly, and every electronic device in the conference room started malfunctioning.
In the game room on the starship.
Tang Qiuqiu was fighting Kari in a one-on-one shootout, and Xueqiu accidentally bumped into Tang Qiuqiu while playing with Chifeng, causing Tang Qiuqiu to make a serious mistake. Kari took advantage of the situation and started yelling about turning the tables. Just when Kari was about to turn the tables, the game system suddenly froze.
Kari was having a great time playing the game, and the spectators were also getting excited. Everyone knew that something like this would happen.
At the same time as the conference room Silin was in, all the electronic devices in the game room started malfunctioning, and the lights in the room started flashing more and more frequently.
Everyone's first reaction: Shit, the system crashed at this critical moment!
Their second reaction: Enemy attack!
Dias's two-year-old son, Locke, was rolling around with Xueqiu and the others. When he saw the situation, the little guy's eyes widened in curiosity, and he let out a squeal. "Huh?"
Before he could finish his squeal, Xueqiu grabbed him by the straps on his back and carried him in his arms, just in case something happened and he couldn't react in time.
"What happened? Enemy attack? Or did we encounter an ion storm? "Kari and the others rushed out of the game room and ran to the command room.
Unlike everyone else, Huimao was squatting on the tea table, lazily eating a bag of fish biscuits, oblivious to everything else. Seeing Kari and the others panic, Huimao only flicked his ears, and continued to lie there calmly eating fish biscuits with squinted eyes.
When Kari rushed to the command room, he saw Silin coming out of the conference room, but Silin ignored Kari and the others. He just told them not to panic and quickly left.
"What's wrong?" Guidie shiqi and Swallowtail asked the others after they came out of the starship due to the various anomalies. They thought that their pursuers had arrived.
"I don't know, but the captain said not to panic. We should go back to what we were supposed to do," Kari answered.
Ignoring everyone's speculations, Silin went straight to Moon and Sigma's lounge.
He pressed the doorbell, but no response. He pressed the doorbell again, but still no response.
"What are you doing, Moon?!" Silin said in mechanical language.
After a long time, the door to the lounge opened. Moon tilted his head and said innocently, "I'm thinking."
Silin said, "... What kind of deep thinking are you thinking about?"
Silin didn't finish his sentence. The second half of his sentence was: Do you know that half of the starship's instruments and electronic equipment can't be used?
