Frankly speaking, Rozen was quite surprised.
"I thought those people didn't show up because they wanted to deal with us, so they wanted to form a team like the Knights of the Cross and overwhelm us with numbers."
That was Rozen's most direct thought.
Therefore, Rozen was really surprised when Xia Lu told him that the participants who didn't show up had given up.
On the contrary, Xia Lu looked at Rozen with some contempt and said.
"Just like the Knights of the Cross? Are you serious? "
It was no wonder Xia Lu said that.
"Even the so-called Knights of the Cross have been defeated by you single-handedly. Even if the low-ranked people form a team to deal with you, it won't help, right?"
Sigmund, who was lying on Xia Lu's head, said, voicing the thoughts of everyone present.
As Sigmund said, since even the Knights of the Cross were defeated by Rozen alone, how could the low-ranked people think that they could overwhelm Rozen with numbers after seeing Rozen's strength?
Therefore, compared to this kind of useless action, giving up was the most normal thing to do.
"Well, it's not like I don't understand this." Rozen scratched his cheek and said, "But this is the Night Assembly, after all. I thought those people would find a way to struggle no matter how weak they are."
If they could obtain the demon king's throne, whether it was fame, wealth, status, or power, they would be at their fingertips. Besides, even if they couldn't win, the Night Assembly still had a lot of vested interests. For example, God's Workshop tried to use the Night Assembly to test new technology and show it to the military. Rosenburg, who belonged to the Knights of the Cross, also had the same purpose. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought the newly developed MK5 mechanical soldier to the Night Assembly.
With that in mind, Rozen thought that those people would at least struggle for a bit.
Not to mention, the Night Assembly this time was extremely special. It was related to the so-called 'God'. Perhaps all the countries and major powers in the world were paying attention to this Night Assembly. It was not wise to give up the right to participate in the Night Assembly just like that.
Of course, it was hard to say whether or not those low-level people knew about the uniqueness of this Night Meeting.
Xia Lu said so.
"It's not just the 60th to 70th place. I heard that those who didn't participate have already handed over their gloves and forfeited. It's just that the Night Assembly's executive department hasn't announced this yet."
Upon hearing this, Rozen raised his brows again.
"Even the Night Assembly Executive Department didn't announce this news, and you still managed to find out?"
Xia Lu let out a cold snort.
"This is the most basic quality of a participant of the Night Meeting. No matter what the situation is, you have to grasp the latest news and confirm the opponent's condition. Only then can you be considered qualified. On the contrary, I have always felt that you are too careless. That's why I said that you men are really …"
While Xia Lu was chattering away, Sigmund, who was lying on her hat, opened his mouth.
"Xia Lu heard about it from Professor Kimberly when she visited Annlee."
… So it was just a coincidence that he heard about it?
Rozen, Ye Ye, Frey, and Loki all looked at Xia Lu silently. Even the dogs around them looked over.
"Shut up! Shut up! Sigmund! Be careful, or I'll replace your dinner chicken with mashed potatoes! "
Xia Lu's sense of shame suddenly exploded, causing her to grab Sigmund's hat and threaten him directly.
"Spare me. I've already suffered a lot because of the lack of meat."
Sigmund's face immediately turned bitter.
Looking at the master and servant who were making a fuss there, everyone present burst into laughter.
At this moment, Loki spoke up.
"In other words, there will still be no actual combat in the Night Meeting, right?" Loki said indifferently, "There may be people who will abstain one after another, and those who don't want to abstain will try to take advantage of this time to do something secretly, right?"
Everyone could tell what Rocky was implying.
"Will … will someone secretly attack us?"
Frey, who was lying on the bed, shrunk her neck and looked timid.
"I don't rule out this possibility." Rozen nodded and said, "Since they can't win in the Night Assembly, those who are unwilling to give up the demon king's throne won't mind doing it outside the Night Assembly, for example, hiring qualified assassins or something."
"Woo …" Frey suddenly looked even more timid.
In this regard, Rozen smiled slightly.
"Frey, don't worry. Anyway, there are so many Garms here. If anyone plans to sneak up on you, they will be discovered immediately."
At first, Rozen's Invisibility Technique was seen through by Raby. Now that there were so many Garms around Frey, sneak attacks should be the least of Frey's worries, right?
"Loki will be fine. With Heavenly Eye's ability, at least we don't have to worry about people hiding in the dark."
With that said, Rozen looked at Xia Lu.
Upon seeing that, the others also looked at Rozen again.
"What … what are you looking at?" Xia Lu was a little angry and said, "Although I don't have Heavenly Eye's ability, I still have Sigmund!"
… Does this woman intend to let Sigmund find the enemy by smell like a dog?
Everyone looked at Xia Lu with more and more pity.
"Wh … what! You! Don't look at me like that! Be careful, or I will burn you to ashes! "
Xia Lu couldn't help but yell, but there were tears in the corner of her eyes as if she was being bullied.
Just when everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry …
"Huh?"
Rozen's Eye of the Mind suddenly reacted.
In the world that only Rozen could see, a circle of ripples was spreading and gradually covered the surroundings.
This is …
"Sound? Magic? "
Rozen instantly recognized the two kinds of ripples.
It was at this time that a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared.
"Ah …!"
Ye Ye, who was standing behind Rozen, suddenly screamed and covered her head as if she was dizzy.
"Woo …!"
Sigmund, who was lying on Xia Lu's head, also groaned. He stretched out his limbs, but his body was stiff. His wings were twitching unnaturally, and his face was distorted.
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
In the infirmary, the obedient dogs lying on the ground suddenly tensed up, as if they were stimulated by something, and started barking wildly.
"Ye Ye!"
Rozen's heart tightened.
"Sigmund!"
Xia Lu was shocked.
"Everyone … everyone …!"
Frey was even more flustered.
But …
"Angel of Wisdom!"
Loki shouted, and his voice was filled with rare wavering.
There was no other reason.
"— —"
The mechanical greatsword leaning against the wall suddenly released a strong hot wind and floated in the air, then spun at an extremely fast speed, like a flaming sword, spinning faster and faster.
"Boom!"
In the infirmary, the magical power went berserk, making the atmosphere roar.
