Late at night.
At the center of the Foka Tower, in the mechanical warehouse.
Even though it was late at night, the searchlights here were constantly shining, making it as bright as day. It was difficult for anyone to escape.
The security forces here were jointly deployed by several mechanic organizations. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the most secure area in the entire Foka Tower.
Hover cars slowly arrived. After verifying the identity of the passengers, they drove into the parking lot.
Inside the cars sat many figures with heavy auras. They were all experts with terrifying strength.
In one of the cars sat Marqio and a group of women. They were all wives of soldiers and were now fully armed with the finest equipment of the army.
In the car, under the dim light, Marqio's eyes constantly flickered, switching between human eyes and fish eyes as she scanned the surroundings.
Looking at the guards outside, Marqio's eyes were filled with ferocity. She shouted in a low voice, "These damned humans, I really want to kill them all!"
Hearing this, her companions around her also roared. The sound from their throats was like a strange beast's roar, making one's hair stand on end.
"Forget it. Stay calm. This mission is very important. The thing left behind by Cromwell is very important. We must get it and send it out smoothly. "Marqio's expression returned to normal as she gave the order.
…
At this moment, hover cars stopped one after another, and figures alighted from them. It was not only Viscount Roy's group, Marqio's group, but also another team.
The members of this team were all burly men wearing fully enclosed helmets. Their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Haha … I didn't expect Madam to have dealings with these people …"
Viscount Roy looked at Marqio and did not say her name. He showed a peaceful smile as if he was greeting an old friend.
"Since we have the same goal, we are allies. Why do you care about the background of these people, sir?" Marqio chuckled.
Hearing this, Viscount Roy did not say anything. He was just casually expressing his dissatisfaction for others to see.
These burly men were actually the spies that the Blood Spirit Clan had placed in the Foka Tower. They were all elite spies.
If outsiders knew that he was working with the spies of the Oceanic Beast Army and the agents of the Blood Spirit Clan, it would be a huge stain on his reputation.
Therefore, it was necessary to show his dissatisfaction.
In fact, in Viscount Roy's heart, even if he had to cooperate with the notorious flesh factory, as long as it was in his interest, there would be no problem.
Then, the three teams separated, as if they were not familiar with each other, and entered the mechanical warehouse separately.
Seeing the suspicious expressions on the guards' faces, Viscount Roy lowered his voice and said, "If there's a conflict later, don't show any mercy. If there's no conflict, that's for the best. We'll get what we want and retreat smoothly."
"Lord Luo Er, can you explain the details of this operation in more detail?"
The captain of the Star Aureate Guard Force, the bald man, asked softly, "We need to at least know the details of the operation so that we can carry out the mission better. This is different from protecting you."
"I understand, I understand …"
Viscount Roy nodded, then shook his head. "I'm sorry! The contents of this operation are top secrets of the royal family. Knowing too much won't do you any good. All you need to know is that when we get there and a conflict breaks out, the first thing you need to do is to protect me and snatch those things. As for the other details, you don't need to know. I'm doing this for your own good! Do you understand … "
The bald man did not comment, but he did not say anything. He knew Roy's character. Since he did not want to say anything, he did not want to talk too much with him.
After entering the mechanical warehouse and passing the staff's verification, the three teams entered the level two warehouse area.
Viscount Roy took the map and came to the edge of the level two warehouse area, where there were claw marks on the metal wall.
"Is this the place?" Viscount Roy murmured, unable to hide his excitement.
"Yes. This is the place. This mark was left by that person in a rage after the battle … "Marqiao said softly.
She spoke very vaguely. In fact, the sea beasts knew more about the origin of the claw marks on the metal wall than the humans.
Back then, the Annihilator Army was created to fight against the sea beast army. They won a great victory, but it also exposed the experimental project of these mechanical warriors.
It was said that Cromwell, who knew the truth, was so enraged that he almost tore down the base at that time. In the end, the wrath of the continent's madman was only appeased by the joint efforts of several unparalleled masters of the Foka Tower.
In his rage, the madman left this claw mark on the metal wall.
This incident was suppressed by the Foka Spire, and it was not publicized to the public.
However, the sea beast army had investigated clearly, but they did not expect that the location of the claw mark was the passageway to Cromwell's secret base.
"Sir. Time is of the essence. Hurry up and start … "Marqiao urged.
The third team also looked at Viscount Roy, exuding a cold murderous aura. It seemed that if they could not open it, they would immediately attack.
After all, the other two teams had invested a lot in this item. If it was useless, they would not let it go so easily.
Viscount Roy did not say anything. He took out another item, which was the key in Fei Yu's hand. After activating it, a ray of light shot into the metal wall.
Ripples appeared, and the incomparably complicated password lock appeared, causing everyone present to gasp in surprise.
At this time, Marqiao's side and the Blood Spirit Clan's side were finally sure that this item was real.
This kind of password lock was rare in the world …
"Hurry up and open it …" Marqiao hurriedly shouted.
A moment later, the password lock was opened. Viscount Roy breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but smile. At this stage, his mission was considered half completed.
The remaining half depended on whether there was anything that His Highness needed among the treasures left behind by Cromwell.
If he had all the secrets of the Windwheel Suppressing Mist Skill, or Cromwell's powerful secret … then the future that awaited him would be limitless.
Swish, swish, swish …
Marqiao and her team had already flown into the opened secret passageway. These sea beasts could not wait any longer.
For the sea beast army, Cromwell could be said to be a terrible person who had single-handedly humiliated the sea beasts in the past thousand years.
Whatever such a person left behind, it would have great research value.
Looking at the actions of Marqiao and her team, the experts of the Blood Spirit Clan frowned at the same time. A trace of killing intent rose in their hearts, but they forcibly suppressed it.
This was the level-2 warehouse area, the territory of the Machinery Organization. It was very unwise to have a conflict here.
If they really wanted to make a move, they should at least wait until they entered the secret base and obtained Cromwell's treasures.
The three teams rushed into the passageway one after another. The video of this scene was transmitted to Hayashi River through Foka 2.
In a building not far from the machinery warehouse, there was a holographic screen showing the surveillance of the three teams from various angles.
The three teams rushed into the secret base and searched around. Soon, they found boxes.
These boxes looked very old, but they had password locks. Although they were not as complicated as the password locks used to enter the door, it was very difficult to unlock them.
Looking at these boxes, Viscount Roy and the other two teams were both surprised and angry. From the analysis of the password locks on these boxes, it was the style of password locks designed by Cromwell.
However, to unlock the password locks and open the boxes was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
One of the Blood Spirit Clan agents, a burly man at the peak of the fourth realm, tried to open the box with brute force.
The result was blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Fragments of mechanical blueprints floated out of the box. They seemed to be the blueprints left behind by Cromwell …
"You idiot, stop!" Viscount Roy roared. He almost wanted to fight with his life.
The value of these boxes could be said to be immeasurable. One box was destroyed just like that. It was as painful as digging out one's own flesh.
Then, the three teams discussed and reached an agreement. They would wait until the boxes were opened before deciding on the distribution of the loot.
Of course, the Blood Spirit Clan would compensate for the destroyed box.
After doing all this, the three teams were still unwilling to leave. They continued to conduct a carpet search, hoping to find more things.
During this time, Ma Qiao quietly pressed a button and sent a signal to the outside world.
…
Looking at the holographic screen and the small movements of the three teams, Hayashi River could not help but laugh. It was inexplicably funny to see these guys performing together on the same stage.
"Viscount Roy of the Sea-Ao Empire, Ma Qiao, these guys are sea beasts in disguise … and the agents of the Blood Spirit Clan …"
On the side, Fei Yu looked at the holographic screen. Her expression was as cold as water, and there was a murderous intent as sharp as an ice blade.
As a viscount of the Sea-Ao Empire, if news of him cooperating with the army of sea beasts and the agents of the Blood Spirit Clan were to spread, even if Roy had ten lives, it would not be enough for him to die.
This was a crime even worse than treason!
Fei Yu knew that once the news of the treasure left behind by Cromwell spread, it would definitely attract various forces to fight over it.
However, she did not expect to see the alliance of these three forces …
"Roy, this person should be killed!" Fei Yu said softly.
Hayashi River looked at the woman and said, "What I am concerned about now is the whereabouts of Cromwell's treasure. Whether that actor can go on stage is what I am most concerned about."
Hearing this, Fei Yu's expression tightened. She was also concerned about the whereabouts of the Blood Spirit Eye.
"Mr. Chuan. Do you think that person will appear? "Fei Yu asked.
"I don't know. The stage has been set up. If that actor doesn't go on stage, there's nothing we can do."
Hayashi River shrugged and said indifferently, "Anyway, the show has just begun. Let's take our time and watch."
Fei Yu nodded and looked at the holographic screen without saying anything.
At the same time —
Viscount Roy and the others came out of the level-two warehouse area as if nothing had happened. They walked out of the warehouse, went to the parking lot, and left.
As soon as they drove out of the warehouse area, a loud bang came from the darkness. Artillery shells whizzed over with sparks, smashing the road into pieces …
"Spies from the Western Continent have been discovered. Kill them all!"
"There are not only spies from the Western Continent, but there are also spies from the Eastern Continent. Kill them all!"
…
A series of alarms sounded, echoing in the sky above the street. Figures appeared one after another, occupying the high ground of the street, and attacked the convoy in a frenzy.
For a moment, a hail of bullets whistled, and the battle broke out just like that …
"Bastard?! Who leaked the news?! "
In a hover car, Viscount Roy's expression changed. He did not expect such a change. This operation had been so secretive, but someone had still found out.
Immediately, he ordered the Star Ao guards and said in a low voice, "Attack! Attack the two teams and steal the boxes. These people are agents of the Blood Spirit Race. We can only clear our name by killing them. "
Hearing this, the Star Ao guards' expressions changed. They had felt that something was wrong with the other two teams.
However, due to the secret order of the Star Ao royal family, they had no choice but to obey Viscount Roy's orders.
They did not expect them to be agents of the Blood Spirit Race. This kind of cooperation was treason.
"Lord Roy, why didn't you make it clear in advance?!"
The bald man's eyes were spitting fire. He wanted to smash Roy's hypocritical face into pieces.
"Don't you know now? Don't worry, after this is done, I will not mistreat you. The Star Ao royal family will not mistreat you either. "Viscount Roy laughed sinisterly.
Boom …
The next moment, a cannonball struck. The hover car was blown away. Even with the special sound of the car, it could not withstand the impact and a hole was blasted in the car.
In the chaos, Viscount Roy moved and flew out. He held a medium machine gun in both hands and fired wildly at the hover car in front of him.
"Roy, you bastard, what are you doing?!" Marqio's shrill scream came from the car.
"Bang!"
A car door flew open and Marqio flew out. Her eyes were glowing in the darkness. It was a pale white brilliance that looked extremely horrifying.
This scene shocked many people. They could not help but think of the sea beasts.
The sea beasts' eyes glowed in the darkness. It was said that the pale white brilliance could absorb the souls of living creatures. This was also the reason why the sea beasts wanted to invade the mainland.
Of course, this was only a legend. However, the description of the sea beasts' eyes was something that all living creatures on the mainland were familiar with.
Whoosh!
Marqio waved her hand. She was holding a curved long blade. When she waved it, a faint snake-like light shadow appeared and swept toward Viscount Roy.
The shrill howl echoed, causing the experts present to feel dizzy. When they came back to their senses, Marqio's team had already disappeared into an alley.
"Don't let them get away. They are spies from the sea beasts. We have been tracking them for a long time. We cannot let them get away …" Viscount Roy saw this and immediately yelled to show his stance.
However, just as he yelled, two figures suddenly dashed out from behind him like ghosts. Two short daggers that were like the fangs of a poisonous snake swiftly pierced toward Viscount Roy's vital parts.
"Who …"
Shocked, Viscount Roy didn't care about anything else and threw himself onto the wet and cold ground. Two daggers brushed past his head. The cold sharpness of the daggers and the strange smell they carried indicated that the two daggers were dipped in poison. A slight scratch would be fatal.
"Protect me!?" Viscount Roy yelled and also dashed toward an alley.
Behind him, the Star Ao guards led by the burly bald man saw this. They did not have a good impression of Viscount Roy and deliberately slowed down.
However, the burly bald man still attacked the two sneak attackers. He was just not as ruthless.
"Third Captain …"
The two sneak attackers suddenly spoke, causing the burly bald man's attack to pause for a moment.
"It's you …" The burly bald man frowned. He recognized the identity of the two people. They were members of the Star Ao guards.
Immediately, he reacted and shouted angrily. He called for his team members to chase after the two sneak attackers and head towards another alley.
When they reached the depths of the alley, the group of Star Ao guards stopped. One of the sneak attackers revealed his identity and said, "Third Captain, we are also here under the secret order of the royal family. It is best that you leave this matter immediately. Don't worry about Roy …"
Hearing this, the burly bald man's heart sank. He immediately understood what was going on. They were also under the royal family's secret order, but they wanted to kill Viscount Roy, who had the royal family's secret order.
Having lived in the Star Ao County for many years, the burly bald man naturally knew what was going on. This was a battle between the Princes.
This trip to the Foka Tower actually involved such a battle. Just thinking about it gave the burly bald man a headache …
As the Star Ao guards, the last thing they wanted to be involved in was this kind of battle between the royal family.
Then, the burly bald man did not say anything. He immediately led his brothers and flew away in another direction.
At this moment, the streets were filled with alarms. Figures quickly arrived and chased after the Blood Spirit Clan agents. The streets quickly entered a state of combat readiness.
…
Just as the battle in the middle of the city had attracted the attention of all the major forces in the city …
In a corner of the East District, in a sewer, a team quietly arrived in front of a wall.
"Finally, it's time to carry out the plan …"
The leader, Vogt, muttered to himself. Then, he raised his hand and waved. A group of members behind him stepped forward, took out boxes from their backpacks, and carefully placed them in front of the wall.
They opened the boxes one by one. They were filled with green blood that emitted a strange stench that permeated the sewers.
Vogt smeared some of the blood on the wall and quickly drew a large image of a sea beast.
Then, these members stepped forward and opened their mouths wide, revealing their sharp teeth. They grunted and let out strange roars.
The veins on these members' faces bulged, and fine scales gradually appeared on their faces. Various parts of their bodies began to change.
The most obvious change was that their ears had turned into a wing-like shape.
Then, this huge picture gradually lit up and actually began to merge with the wall. Then, there was a low rumble, as if something had been opened.
Boom boom boom …
A crack appeared in the middle of the wall and slid to both sides, revealing a metal door.
If Hayashi River was here, he would be surprised to find that the material of this metal door was exactly the same as the one in Cromwell's secret base.
"It's open … it's really open …"
Vogt and the rest of the sea beasts were extremely excited. They stepped forward and fiddled with the metal door. After opening seven keyholes and inserting a strange-shaped key, the metal door immediately opened.
There was not much space behind the metal door. In fact, there was only a five-meter-wide space with a box inside.
To be more precise, it was a coffin made of the same metal material.
Around the coffin, there were many tubes with green blood flowing inside. It was the same blood that had opened the wall.
Bang bang bang …
At this moment, the coffin began to move. There was a faint knocking sound from inside, and then, with the sound of a button being pressed, the coffin lid slowly opened.
"This weak yet familiar aura, is it the same kind? I've returned to the White Nightmare Sea … "A faint voice sounded.
Then, a thick arm covered in fish scales slowly reached out from the coffin. A thick stench, like the smell of dead fish, accompanied by a terrifying aura swept over.
"Sir, you've awakened from your slumber. That's great!" Vogt said excitedly.
Suddenly, a long, spiky tongue popped out, swept past Vogt, and pierced into the body of one of the sea beasts. The tongue sucked, and the latter's body quickly shriveled into a mummy.
This scene caused the expressions of the sea beasts to change, but they did not move. They did not dare to move.
The ranks of the sea beasts were very clear. High-ranking sea beasts had absolute suppression over low-ranking sea beasts. This was an innate suppression that could not be defied.
The sea beast in the coffin was a legendary existence in the White Nightmare Sea's sea beast army at the end of the Hundred Years War …
