"Aoki …" Scarlet Pine and Shui Wutong looked at each other.
Of course, they knew who Aoki was.
That was because they valued this person very much and had even offered a high bounty for him.
There was no need to ask. They must have misjudged Aoki's strength, causing these officers to charge forward mindlessly for the reward.
"What's his strength now?" Scarlet Pine asked.
"He should be an official Heavenly King!" A Team Lava officer said hesitantly.
"Is he already an official Heavenly King …?
Increase the bounty again and indicate his strength. Those without strength and confidence can run away when they encounter him during the mission, "Scarlet Pine said again.
Hearing Scarlet Pine's words, Shui Wutong did not object.
An official Heavenly King. Not many people had reached this level, even in the Ocean Team. He had already stepped into the ranks of the strong.
"However, the two pieces of trash were caught by them. Now, our detailed layout and personnel relationships must be exposed on the Alliance's table. We have to be prepared for an all-out war at any time," Scarlet Pine said.
"My people told me that the Fengyuan Alliance is overwhelmed now. They don't have many people here.
The Hunter's Guild has also made their move. They're not willing to give up such a big piece of cake in the Fengyuan Area. The best situation is for us to drag this out. In the end, the Alliance will be the one who can't hold on.
As long as we find the item, we'll have the final say on whether we want to leave or fight, "Shui Wutong said calmly as she sat on the chair.
Although Shui Wutong looked like a burly person, there was a finesse to her. Otherwise, she would not have been able to develop the Ocean Team to this level.
"As long as we can find the item early, the Hunter's Guild will be our scapegoat," Scarlet Pine said.
After a short pause, he continued, "The teleportation device has been installed. Get the officers outside to gather resources quickly. If they can buy finished sprites, buy them all. Based on the current situation, there will be a lot of friction with the Alliance. We need to maintain our combat power at all times.
All those who have completed missions and obtained merits are allowed to exchange for various materials and sprites. All exchange prices …
Reduce by 30%! "
Hearing this, all of the members were overjoyed.
Reduce the cost of exchange points by 30%!
As long as they could survive this incident and not cause too many losses, it was possible for everyone's strength to increase by a level after this incident.
Compared to the members of Team Lava and Ocean Team, this was a huge gamble. If they won, they would have a meteoric rise, but if they lost, they would have nothing.
However, joining Team Lava and Ocean Team was a gamble for many people.
Now that the opportunity to soar to the top was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?
Shui Wutong didn't object to Chiyan Song's words.
After being silent for such a long time, the resources stored should be enough to deal with this war.
War!
It was both a danger and an opportunity!
His and the Crimson Flame Pine's goal was very simple, and that was to find the two pearls. Only then would they be able to come into contact with the two Divine Beasts.
Ocean Team and Team Lava were created for this purpose.
Therefore, even if they had to sacrifice the entire organization, they would not hesitate.
At this time, Shui Wutong and Chi Yansong's views were surprisingly consistent.
...
On the other side.
In the conference room of the Alliance's camp.
Genji sat at the head of the table, looking at the two documents in his hands.
One of them was the list of casualties caused by Team Lava and Ocean Team's counterattack.
The other document was obtained from the leaders of the two teams, the current distribution of Team Lava and Ocean Team's members, as well as the strength and number of their members.
Genji's expression was a little solemn.
This time, Team Lava and Ocean Team were really going all out. Other than a few members who stayed behind to guard, it was almost the same as sending out all their members.
The situation was more serious than he had imagined.
Genji glanced at the people sitting around the conference table, comparing the strength of both sides.
Hua Yue and the two Heavenly King-tier members were transferred back. This had a huge impact on the current strength of the camp.
In the end, Genji's gaze stopped on Aoki, and he showed a gratified smile. "Aoki, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, the losses this time would have been much more severe. Chi Yansong and Shui Wutong's counterattack was really fierce.
However, while our losses were great, their losses were even greater. We also obtained all the information we wanted to know. This is very good.
For this mission, I will promote you to S-Rank. "
Including the previous mission, Aoki now had two S-Rank mission rewards to receive.
Hearing Genji's words, Aoki's expression was still very solemn. "This time, I reacted too slowly. Otherwise, I could have saved more people and not let the other two leaders escape."
He was a little upset that two leaders escaped from Aoki's hands.
However, there was no other way. The other party would rather sacrifice their elves to escape.
Moreover, the other two were not as arrogant as the first two they met. After Aoki showed some of his strength, they decisively chose to retreat.
This time, the Alliance suffered heavy losses. They lost four teams, a total of sixteen people. Moreover, seven or eight teams were seriously injured. The elves also suffered heavy losses. It was estimated that they could only fight as logistics for a period of time.
"You've done well enough. We didn't expect their reaction to be so intense. Now that they know your strength, they probably won't make a move in the future. If they do, they'll definitely be very confident. You have to be careful," said Bonnie.
She was also a little surprised by Aoki's strength.
"However, from what we found out from the captured people, Team Lava and Ocean Team should have built a teleportation device in the depths. They have people outside collecting resources for them. I think they're going to fight a protracted battle with us.
However, we don't have enough backup.
You should have heard that those bastards from the Hunter's Guild have also made a move.
With someone taking the lead, the clowns in the various cities all came out one by one. Now that the Alliance is in a stalemate, a protracted battle is not what we want to see.
If they find what they're after, it'll be a huge blow to the Alliance.
Therefore, I've decided to speed up the exploration and fight them head-on.
During this period of time, I need you to run more at the front and try to ensure that the exploration mission continues.
I'll also increase the rewards of the exploration mission in the future, "said Genji.
Everyone heard Genji's words and had no intention of objecting.
The Alliance was very strong, but now that too many people and things had jumped out at once, it wasn't that easy to suppress them all.
The dojos in the various cities, the Alliance Police Department, and the Investigators had all been mobilized.
Other than the private forces of the families that hadn't been mobilized, the Alliance had sent out almost everything they could.
As for the private forces of the families, Adams didn't want to use them.
This was because after this matter was over, he definitely had to give the families enough benefits.
Although the Alliance was in a passive position, it wasn't to this extent.
As long as they could survive this incident, even if the Fengyuan District wasn't completely clean, there would at least be peace for a period of time.
