In a quaint courtyard, the first thing that came into view were two pomegranate trees that were more than three meters tall. The trees were arranged vertically on the east wall of the courtyard. Around the trees was a half-meter wall filled with various flowers and plants. In the northernmost area, there were a few crape myrtles that bloomed with small red flowers. Near the roadside, there were various hanging baskets with green leaves hanging down from the wall to the ground. A pot of cactus stood proudly, and at the south end, there were some beautiful and elegant grass.
On the west side of the road, there were some bamboos. In the middle of the road, there was a small fountain that divided the road into two. The two sides complemented each other and added a bit of serenity to the courtyard.
This scene made people feel as if they had returned to the peaceful era. It even made people forget that they were living in the end of the world.
Although the establishment of Order had bid farewell to the dilapidated days of the past and millions of people did not have to worry about food, the owner of such a delicate garden was not something that an ordinary person could own. Such a person must be either rich or noble!
In a snow-white Chinese-style house, there was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was dressed quite well, with a suit, leather shoes, and a straight tie. He was completely meticulous and had the luxurious aura of a Western European aristocrat. He gently put down the greasy knife and fork, wiped the corner of his mouth with a towel, and said in a gentle tone,
"Wei Xun, let's get straight to the point. Why did you invite me here?" Xu Zhe looked forward and said lightly.
At this time, the person sitting in the room was actually one of the eight heroes. However, unlike the Valkyrie Xu Hongzhuang, Xu Zhe's strength was not outstanding, but his computer-like brain was the key to Order becoming the steel behemoth it was today!
When he had still been a bronze-rank warrior, with a single thought, several tens or even hundreds of solutions would appear in his mind. Now, under Chen Feng's nurturing, he had also advanced to the legendary rank. From this, one could imagine how terrifyingly powerful his brain was now.
"Wei Xun, since you're asking, I'll make it clear. Can you give me the right to lead the team into the Abyss?"
Wei Xun stared straight ahead. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, flashing with a ferocious light. He had been fighting for several years and had established his prestige in the Blood Division. He was also one of the eight heroes. However, unlike Xu Hongzhuang and Xu Zhe, Wei Xun gave people a bone-chilling and terrifying feeling. It was a kind of feeling that would make one's body turn cold as long as one got close to him.
Wei Xun actually suggested to Xu Zhe that they should stop competing for the Stronghold of the Abyss.
Due to Phra's pregnancy, the Demon Fortress was left in an unattended state. This time, Order organized such a large-scale battle to determine the victor to replace Phra in managing the Demon Fortress!
Professionals were not like ordinary people. Their temperament had long since changed. For ordinary people, a stable life was very important, but for Professionals, strength was their capital to survive in this apocalyptic world.
With different strength and standing at different heights, their horizons would naturally be different!
Just like the meal that Wei Xun invited Xu Zhe to cook today. Tonight's dinner was extremely sumptuous. There were all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables that were rarely seen outside, all kinds of fish and prawns in the pond and sea, and many non-poisonous insect meat that was processed and cooked. Braised, barbecued, stir-fried and steamed, it looked, smelled, and tasted good. Due to the novelty of the ingredients, the food was even more delicious than the Manchu Han Imperial Feast!
Even now, Order had solved the problem of hunger, but most people only had enough to eat and wear. They had no right to enjoy such delicacies!
Xu Zhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Xun. His voice was a little distant compared to before. "What do you mean? Do you want the Blood Division to lead the reform of the Abyss? "
Chen Feng had given a very generous reward this time. He knew that the Abyss was far away from the human world and was extremely dangerous. It was very likely that one would never be able to return. Therefore, he would give the victor most of the rights to the Stronghold. This meant that the victor could mobilize most of the Stronghold's combat power to fight and kill!
If this was in ancient times, it would be no less than sealing the territory and dividing the land.
Because of this, the Abyss Stronghold attracted the attention of countless people this time. In addition to other professionals, people like Wei Xun and Xu Zhe, who had been famous for a long time, also wanted to get this opportunity. It was just that they couldn't participate because of their identity. However, after several years of training, they had many powerful confidants. As long as they could win, the beneficiaries would naturally be Wei Xun and Xu Zhe, who stood at the top of the pyramid!
Under such circumstances, all the forces would send out their most powerful newcomers. Naturally, there would be a real fierce battle!
Hearing Xu Zhe's question, Wei Xun nodded and said, "In terms of strength, we, the Blood Division, are still better. However, I have to admit that you have many intelligent professionals under your command. In terms of brains, my people are not as smart as yours. I'm not asking you to give up the competition, but we can work together to eliminate the other forces first. After that, you and I will send our subordinates to the Abyss and take over the position of the Lord there!"
"Aren't you afraid that my Lord will blame you?" Xu Zhe didn't refute immediately. Instead, he asked Wei Xun.
Wei Xun smiled gloomily and said, "I've been following my Lord for too long. I know my Lord's personality. To him, the result is the most important. The process doesn't matter too much. Besides, you and I have been to the Abyss. We know that it is far away from Order. Even if we use some small tricks to win, my Lord won't blame us."
Xu Zhe pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Then what do you want? You didn't hesitate to invite me here today. Is it just to say this? You are one of the most powerful forces in the Blood Division ruled by Order. You are already second only to my Lord. Why do you still want to take such a big risk to cooperate with me? "
The Abyss was not a good place. It was barren, remote, and silent. Xu Zhe was just curious about the reason why Wei Xun wanted to obtain the ruling rights of the Abyss Stronghold.
Wei Xun shook his head and said, "It would be a lie to say that I don't have any selfish motives. However, I am absolutely loyal to my Lord. The reason why I want to control the Abyss Stronghold is because I have encountered some bottlenecks in my realm. I have been stuck in the Legendary realm for some time. I want to break through to a higher realm!"
"However, the area around Order has been cleaned up. There are no terrifying opponents. I live like this every day without making any progress. However, it is different now. As long as I can obtain the ruling rights of the Abyss Stronghold, I can totally apply to My Lord to go to the Abyss Stronghold to protect those rookies for a period of time!"
"And if my people finally have the right to speak, I can stand behind them and become like a regent. There is only one thing I want to do. Other than opening up new territories for my Lord, I want to gather hundreds of thousands, or even millions of demons to launch a war. I want to devour more souls and complete my own promotion ceremony on the battlefield!"
