Early the next morning, the Eighth Battalion Military Affairs Office.

The hall, which could originally accommodate thousands of people, now seemed very crowded. Looking from the door, it was full of black heads. However, everyone was silent, making the atmosphere in the hall oppressive and suffocating.

Because since the establishment of the Eighth Battalion, such large-scale meetings have rarely occurred. The last time a representative meeting of the entire Void Fortress was held was when the chaotic creatures of the True Dao Realm suddenly attacked and almost broke through the North Gate.

But this time the emergency meeting was held not because of external troubles, but because of internal worries.

Ping Dannao sat expressionlessly at the top of the hall, tapping the armrest with his right index finger. Next to him sat two generals of the same rank, one was Li Hengwang, and the other looked like a

An old man in his fifties, his eyes slightly squinted, as if he was closing his eyes to rest. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special about him, but the cold aura that occasionally appeared on his body was naturally rough and majestic.

He is General Jumi, who is in charge of the south gate of Void Fortress. He is the oldest of the four generals in the fortress. His actual age is already over 300 years old, and he has spent half his life as a soldier here.

Therefore, Jumi's status is relatively aloof. Whether it is the current Grand Duke or His Majesty the Southern King, they are all his juniors. No matter how those princes try to bribe him, Jumi remains unmoved. He keeps a certain distance from everyone.

of centrists.

In other words, Jumi itself... has already established its own faction. Whether it is Mejiro Sanxing or Void Fortress, most of those who have reached the fifth rank have served as soldiers under Jumi. Even Li Hengwang and Ping Dannao have more or less

I am a little afraid of General Ju.

However, there are still two empty seats next to Ju Mi, because General Lu and General Xun are still fighting outside and cannot return in a short time.

"Report——"

In the silence, an orderly soldier hurriedly entered the hall. Seeing the battle in the hall, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "The data on casualties and financial losses have been calculated."

"Nian." Ping Dannao glanced at Ju Mi and saw that the latter was still looking like he was concentrating with his eyes closed, so he uttered a word lightly.

"One hundred and fifty-two guards of the West Pole Hell died, 279 were injured, 12 supervisors died, and four survived, 367 slaves died, and 1,085 were missing.

More than 600 slaves were captured and taken back to the West Pole Hell to await disposal. In addition, the chaos cubs in the fifth factory rioted, and a total of eighteen of them killed each other. Except for Nightmare One, which was missing, all the other cubs were dead.

It's under control, but the cage still needs to be repaired."

"In terms of finance, all one thousand spiritual energy furnaces of the Third Juling Factory were lost, and a total of 480 Juling Spirit Crystals were lost, which is equivalent to the energy contained in nearly 10,000 spirit beast spirit crystals of the same level. Only the Third Plant lost

The loss converted into star coins would be no less than 50 million..."

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling dizzy at the huge number.

Li Hengwang's eyes were a little strange, but he soon returned to normal. Looking at his gloomy face, he seemed to be even angrier than Ping Dannao.

"What do you think?" Ping Dannao and the other soldiers finished reporting and said coldly.

Ming Zhitong stood up and slapped the table angrily: "What a shame! It's really unforgivable! General Ping, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Aren't there still some guards and supervisors alive? Call them."

Come up and ask them what this slave revolt is about! I don’t believe there’s no one causing trouble inside!”

"I have already asked. If you want to ask again, you can go to the Skeleton Camp to find them." Ping Dan Nao's voice was like ice and snow, without any warmth.

Ming Zhitong couldn't help but be stunned: "Has General Ping found out the person behind the scenes..."

"Those losers don't know more than I do." Ping Dannao said expressionlessly: "They only knew that someone seemed to have sneaked into the slave team, and then turned the West Extreme Hell upside down. They didn't even know what the other party's purpose was.

What."

Ming Zhitong said in disbelief: "But that person's appearance and name..."

"Of course it's fake."

"But...but only a group of slaves were sent to the West Pole Hell yesterday. The worst we can do is investigate them one by one! If General Ping is willing, his subordinates can do this for him!" Ming Zhitong said solemnly.

Ping Dannao smiled sarcastically: "Are you sure? The sources of those slaves are diverse, involving at least fifty chambers of commerce and several uncles..."

Ming Zhitong's face stiffened, and Ping Dannao continued: "So what if we find out? Do you think the real person behind the scenes will expose himself so easily? General Li, don't you think so?"

His eyes were as sharp as blades, piercing Li Hengwang's mind. However, the latter leaned on his seat and nodded in agreement: "What General Ping said is absolutely true. This matter needs to be investigated, but

We cannot use conventional means to investigate. Those slaves are usually quite honest, and they would not riot for no reason. There must be someone who instigated them afterwards, and everyone should be able to reach a consensus on this."

Everyone nodded, and Ping Dannao had no choice but to retract his gaze, lowered his eyelids and said, "Does General Li have any good ideas?"

"I think let's go through yesterday's list of slaves first. The slaves who are still alive are not too suspicious. After all, they are all under our control. But those who are dead are probably part of Jin Chan's plan to escape. We must find out more details.

Increase the investigation. At the same time, more importantly, we must understand the purpose of the instigators behind the scenes, so that we can investigate in a targeted manner."

Li Hengwang said seriously: "I guess... one is for money. After all, the third factory's spiritual energy furnace and ultimate soul crystal are already a huge sum of money for ordinary people. The second is for the fifth.

Isn’t the factory’s Chaos Cub, Nightmare One, missing?

I think this is very strange. Thirdly, there may be people among the slaves that the behind-the-scenes instigator cares about, and he wants to rescue them. Fourthly, this is a simple act of revenge. Everyone in the eighth battalion, think about it.

Have you offended anyone recently..."

Li Hengwang analyzed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 78, and everyone was stunned. It seemed that every one of them made sense, but none of them felt very reliable.

Especially the third answer, which was the answer closest to the truth, was decisively ignored by everyone. They even felt that Li Hengwang was trying to make up the numbers.

The atmosphere of the whole meeting was also distorted by Li Hengwang. Everyone speculated on the purpose of the instigator behind the scenes for an hour, but in the end no beneficial results were obtained, so Ping Dannao forcibly stopped everyone's discussion.

Seeing that everyone had begun to prepare for the aftermath, General Jumi, who had been closing his eyes to rest, suddenly said: "If the Eighth Battalion cannot guard the two hells, my people can do it for them."

Ping Dannao heard the hidden blame and disappointment in Ju Mi's tone. Even with his position, he couldn't help but feel nervous: "General Ju, there is something fishy about this matter. It's not that my people are negligent in management."

"I don't like to hear any excuses."

Ju Mi opened his eyes, with a burning divine light in his eyes: "The losses in the West Extreme Hell this time far exceeded my expectations. The slaves are dead, the supervisors are dead, and the guards are dead. That's all.

I can bear it if Factory No. 3 is looted, but Nightmare No. 1

Don’t you know the importance of it? It has reached the peak of Gu Yuan cultivation before it is a minor, and will definitely be able to reach the immortal realm in the future. As long as we use it well, its value is much greater than a battalion, but you put it

It was lost, which is an unforgivable mistake!"

Ping Dannao raised his eyebrows, his breath was hidden, and he stood up to Ju Mi and asked, "What do you mean, General Ju?"

"Since your people are not capable of keeping an eye on the two hells, then from now on it will be jointly managed by everyone. You should allocate more people to garrison in the void battlefield." Ju Mi's voice was cold.

Ping Dannao remained silent. He suspected for a moment that Ju Mi had planned this incident, but then he denied it, because if Ju Mi wanted to seize power, with his upright temperament and deep-rooted power, there was no need to do so.

Use this method.

The object of his suspicion was mostly Li Hengwang.

"I hope General Ju will give us some time to get to the bottom of this matter before we discuss it." Ping Dannao said slowly.

"Within five days, I want to see a result."

"no problem."

When Li Hengwang saw Ju Mi getting up and leaving, he also stood up and said goodbye: "If General Ping needs help, just ask. I have been waiting for good news these days, hoping that the real culprit can be brought to justice."

Ping Dannao said without comment: "I would like to borrow the auspicious words of General Li."

Li Hengwang waved, called his men and left the hall. He kept a worried look all the way, but when he returned to the military aircraft mansion where he worked, his face suddenly burst into laughter: "This is a wonderful move, I really didn't expect it."

Leader, you have made so much noise, I think Ping Dannao is going to finish the game this time."

Yu Ling stood by the door, wearing a guard's light armor. Hearing this, he calmly took off his helmet and said: "It's not that easy. How is General Li's follow-up work handled?"

"More or less, I have sent those slaves to Yutong Planet, and by the way, I also took advantage of the chaos to stuff the real 'Zhou Peng' back. He is a dead soldier we trained, and he has long been aware of this. More

What's more, I specifically misled them to pay attention to the 'dead people' today, so they won't be very concerned about the slaves who are still alive."
