The conference hall was in chaos. A few hours ago, this place had been safe and sound, but now it was stained with blood, the blood of the highest authority of the Wussen Empire.
"I've asked the guards. No one has entered after we left, and the room is protected by magic. No one can enter without being noticed. This can only mean that the culprit is among the few of us who attended the meeting, unless the guards have been bribed."
The chief of the leopardmen coldly said. At this time, they were gathered in the conference hall to discuss countermeasures. After he finished speaking, the other chiefs all had different expressions. Some were angry, some were deep in thought, and some had bitter expressions, as if they were worried.
Apart from the human representative Myr and two other observers, the chief of the dog-headed race was not present. The killer Liuliu was personally guarding the injured Hala.
"They … those guards, could they be shapeshifters in disguise?"
The chief of the mouse race carefully asked. This question immediately angered the other party.
"You mean to say that after chatting with a few shapeshifters for so long, all I got was a bunch of useless lies? Save it, smart-ass mouse. If they are shapeshifters, then you might be one in disguise. Do you want me to peel off your skin and see if you're a shapeshifter in the skin of a mouse? "
"You dare threaten me! I think you're the shapeshifter! "
"Enough! Now is not the time for infighting! "
The chief of the centaur race reprimanded. His voice covered the other two, causing the room to fall silent.
"We still have many things to do. We don't have time to waste here. First, we need to thoroughly investigate this matter and find the culprit. This is the most important thing. Second, the missing Queen Mother is a huge hidden danger. We need to find her. Third, I'm afraid you've also noticed that the people are becoming more and more restless. This is the time when they are easily incited. Every chief should send people to pay close attention to the movements of the city. Don't let go of any clues. "
Hearing this, the chief of the leopardmen nodded. "I will send four hundred people to patrol, but this is far from enough. We need more people."
"The underground waterways were dug by us, the mouse race. I can send people to thoroughly investigate."
The chief of the mouse race said.
The chief of the centaur race nodded. The chiefs of the snakemen and lizardmen would search the forests and swamps.
"We still need the help of the men in black. They know every corner of the city. They are definitely more professional than us when it comes to finding people. But what's strange is that no one knows where their headquarters are. Even the assassin in black appears and disappears mysteriously. "
The Leopardman Patriarch complained.
"They are directly under the highest authority and the Demon King. Their work is much harder than ours."
The patriarch of the Centaur Tribe took a deep breath and continued, "I will talk to Lady Liuliu about this matter. Let's go and settle our matters first."
"Wait a moment, everyone. Did you forget something?"
The Mouse Clan Leader suddenly said.
Everyone suddenly realized that it was those three people, the elves who always stayed out of things, the former Demon General Beastman Zeba, and the people who brought these problems.
The Demon King's disciple, Reina.
They were so tricky.
"That human wants to help, and the Orc General wants us to help their empire. If we leave them alone, I'm afraid they won't stay put."
The Leopardman Patriarch said.
The Centaur Patriarch sighed and said, "We can't satisfy their demands at the same time. Especially at this time, we can't let anyone out. Let them wait until the situation stabilizes. I will send people to monitor them. "
"They are very anxious. What can we do to make them wait?"
"I have my ways. Instead of worrying about these problems, it's better to settle the matters in your hands first. Everyone, the enemy is still restless. We must be united. Their next target may be you and me."
With that, the Centaur Patriarch turned and left. Everyone looked at each other. Everyone noticed the blood stain on the wall that had not been cleaned. This reminded them that if Hala was stabbed, then what about them? No one knew.
… …
The anxious Reina paced back and forth in the room. Her face was filled with worry, as if she was worried about two things today.
The chiefs let her stay in the room. She waited until evening when someone brought her dinner. No one came to tell her what had happened. Those people seemed to have forgotten about her and left her here.
She wondered if she should go out and ask, or if she could find Bai Ling's whereabouts. Although this proposal was rejected by the Centaur Patriarch, Reina still wanted to do something.
If only I didn't bring her here.
Reina couldn't help but think.
She never thought that things would become so troublesome. She would rather face the Darkspirit army alone than see such a thing happen.
At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from the corridor outside. Reina immediately walked to the door. Before the other party knocked, she opened the door.
Sure enough, it was the Centaur Patriarch.
His body was huge, and the lower half of his body was that of a horse. There were many rooms that he could not enter, so he stood in front of the door. Because the corridor was not wide, in order not to block the corridor, he could only face the door sideways.
As soon as he saw Reina, a friendly smile appeared on his serious face. Among all the chiefs, he was the one that Reina felt closer to, even if he did not look like someone to be trifled with.
"Good evening, Lady Reina. Is tonight's dinner to your liking?"
Reina was not used to being addressed as' Lady '. She hurriedly opened the door and asked, "How is Hala? Is she alright? "
Hearing this, the Centaur Patriarch maintained his smile, but he silently lowered his head. From his expression, it was clear that he did not want to lie to Reina.
"I shouldn't talk about this in a place like this, but … she's already fine. Only her internal organs were injured and will need some time to recover. She's still unconscious."
"Can I go see her?"
"It's best if you don't. I know that you have good intentions, but before she wakes up, I hope that you can stay here and not go anywhere."
Reina frowned. Clearly, she could not accept the Centaur Patriarch's suggestion. She had important matters to attend to.
The Patriarch saw through her thoughts and continued, "It won't take too long. I promise you that you won't waste your time here. We will send reinforcements to help you defeat the enemy. But that will have to wait until the Wussen Empire has settled down. I believe that it won't take too long."
His words did indeed put Reina at ease. She also understood what he meant. This was also a threat. If she left this room as she pleased, then she might not receive any help from the Wussen Empire.
