Aerial Magus Section, Chief's Office.
At this time of night, the office was unexpectedly full of people.
In addition to Fleon, who was an aerial magus, there were three people there.
These three people were the three members of the special agent team standing at the top of Mistergang, Cuy, Fiona, and Yuri.
At this time, the three of them were called here, lined up in front of Fleon.
And the reason for being called here was simple.
"Frequent attacks by small magic beetles?"
After hearing this from Fleon, the three people present frowned.
"Yes." Fleon nodded expressionlessly and said, "Recently, there have been frequent small magic beetle groups breaking into Mistergang's air defense circle. Although each group is not strong, the frequency of attacks is very high."
That seemed to be the reason why Fleon called the special agent team over.
In other words, Fleur wanted to discuss a countermeasure with the Special Agent Team.
It was just …
"It's just a small magic beetle attack, is there a need to send a special agent team?"
The other side said with some doubt.
Although he acted in his own way, and his ability to do things was not as good as Cuy's, Fiona was actually a person with excellent combat intuition. If faced with a battle or a crisis situation, he could often display unexpected agile thinking and build tactics and actions that others could not imagine.
Therefore, despite Fiona's sloppy appearance, in fact, he was unexpectedly good at analyzing the situation. In the face of a critical situation, he could often display a stronger ability than Cuy.
Therefore, the other party had probably already smelled the scent of danger and realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
After all, Mistergang was currently sailing on a route far away from the mainland, and the patrol route was not dangerous. Although it was impossible to avoid the attacks of magic beetles that had already spread all over the world, at best, as Fleon said, the attacks were not strong groups, and relying on the daily patrols and sentries should be enough to deal with them.
Even if the number of attacks was frequent, if nothing happened, Fleon would never call the special agent team over. That was what Fiona thought.
As expected …
"… We've lost contact with the D-rank squad that was in charge of the night sentry mission last night. We can't detect any signs of life."
Fu Long was silent for a while, and then expressionlessly said such words.
“.....！”
Bi Fang, Cuy, and Yuri immediately tensed up.
"I see …"
Cuy revealed a pained expression.
"Have there been any victims?"
Yuri also bit her lips.
The appearance of a victim was already a very serious matter.
Not to mention …
"In the last communication, the squad leader of the D-rank squad sent a final message. The message mentioned the word 'mutant'."
Fu Long's explanation told everyone the real reason for gathering the Special Agent Team.
"A mutant has appeared?"
The other side revealed a grim expression.
"No wonder they need to summon a special agent team …"
Cuy finally understood.
The Demon Armor Insects were not the same, but they were divided into different types according to their characteristics and levels.
Generally speaking, Demon Armor Insects were divided into small, medium, and large types.
Small Demon Armor Insects were not a big threat. Even in the past, ordinary aerial Magic Shooters could easily deal with them. Not to mention now, after Rozen's influence, magical engineering technology had greatly improved. Even the weakest aerial Magic Shooters could easily deal with a group of small Demon Armor Insects. Demon Armor Insects of this level usually relied on numbers to win. Their individual strength was not outstanding.
Mid-sized Magic Armor Insects were different. Regardless of size, power, or attack methods, they were far superior to small-sized Magic Armor Insects. Depending on the individual, there were also melee, long-range, artillery, and so on. Ordinary aerial Magic Shooters would not be able to deal with them. Only a small team of D-rank and above could deal with these Magic Armor Insects of this level.
As for large Demon Armor Insects, they were existences of another dimension. Not only were they extremely large, but their strength was also extraordinary. Among them, there were even broodmother Demon Armor Insects that could specifically breed Demon Armor Insects and bring an army of Demon Armor Insects to attack. Just one of them could threaten a floating city. So far, most of the floating cities that had been destroyed had fallen in the hands of such Demon Armor Insects. It could be said to be a huge threat to humans.
However, this was not the biggest threat of Demon Armor Insects.
The biggest threat of Demon Armor Insects were the ones that had mutated in the form of the above Demon Armor Insects and obtained terrifying abilities, characteristics, or power.
That was the mutant species, the biggest threat to humans.
The simplest example was that among the currently known mutant species of Demon Armor Insects, there were individuals that had evolved to a high degree of intelligence and had the ability to command Demon Armor Insects.
From this, it could be seen how much of a threat they posed to humans.
Yuri quickly asked.
"Are the mutants that have appeared medium-sized?"
Generally speaking, medium-sized Demon Armor Insects were more likely to mutate, and small Demon Armor Insects had almost no chance of mutating.
As for large Demon Armor Insects, because they were very rare, the probability of them mutating was also very low.
Therefore, medium-sized Demon Armor Insect mutants were more common, and they were not too big of a threat.
Unfortunately, Yuri would be disappointed.
"According to the analysis of the Intelligence Technology Department, the mutant that appeared this time should be a large one, and it has a very high degree of intelligence. The small Demon Armor Insect group that has been attacking frequently now is probably the cannon fodder sent to scout. Last night, the D-class squad should have been annihilated by it."
Fron stated this fact with a heavy tone.
"This …"
Yuri was suddenly speechless.
"A large Demon Armor Insect mutant …"
"That is already enough to threaten the survival of the floating city. What a troublesome situation."
Cuy and Bi Fang were also deep in thought.
"This time, I called you here to let you be prepared." Fron said, "If the Intelligence Technology Department can successfully find traces of a large mutant, then before it gets close to Mistergang, we must attack first and annihilate it."
And to deal with a large mutant, it was inevitable for the spy squad to attack.
"You are the trump card of Mistergang, so this matter is only known to you. Don't spread it to others, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
Fron said.
At this time …
"That … that …"
Yuri suddenly said hesitantly.
"Should I inform Rozen -senpai?"
His words silenced the entire office.
Bi Fang and Cuy returned to their usual expression, one scratched her head helplessly, and the other covered her mouth and chuckled.
Even though she was rebellious in front of Rozen, at this time, the first thing Yuri thought of was always Rozen, which made people feel like they were looking at a younger generation that was not frank.
On the contrary, Fron looked extremely unhappy.
"If I can, I also want to inform him, but with that man's personality, I don't think he will take the initiative to go on a mission now."
There was a rare complaint in Fron's words.
Until …
"Then I'm really sorry."
When such an indifferent voice rang out, everyone was stunned one after another.
