Chapter 479 Strange Face
"Come in."
The knocking on the door interrupted the man's reverie, and as his permission was granted, a short, middle-aged man walked in.
His name is Aoli, and he is one of the Lord of Desire's subordinates. He often claims to have dwarven blood and is quite strong, ranking among the top three of the Lord of Desire's subordinates.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as Aoli entered, he knelt on one knee on the ground. Before the master could say anything, he started flattering him.
However, the Lord was quite satisfied with this title. After all, in his view, he was going to be the ruler of a country in the future, so calling him Your Highness was not excessive.
Do you know why I asked you to come here?
The Lord of Desire did not turn to look at Aoli, but instead continued to fumble with the blade of his longsword. Although he spoke lightly, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Aoli's ears.
Although he was extremely loyal to his master, he also knew what kind of person his master was. Don't be fooled by his seemingly gentle appearance; he was actually an extremely cruel person.
If anything goes against his wishes or if someone disobeys him, he will change his tune and unleash extremely terrifying methods.
Therefore, upon hearing this seemingly casual but clearly blaming question, Aoli couldn't help but tremble.
"me....."
Aoli became stammering. He didn't know what he had done to offend the Lord of Desire, and he didn't know how to answer the Lord of Desire's question for a moment.
Fortunately, the Lord of Desire did not play the riddle-maker. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned to face Aulius with a fierce and cruel expression:
"Didn't you know that rats have gotten into the city?"
Although Aoli isn't very intelligent, he's definitely not stupid. The "rat" here doesn't refer to actual rats, but rather to an enemy force.
After realizing this, Aoli quickly felt a sense of dread.
After conquering Dolensas, the Lord of Desire allowed his men to burn, kill, and plunder, but he did not lower his guard. He was not stupid; he knew that he could not let his guard down, especially at this time.
If the enemy launches a counterattack due to negligence in defense, the losses will be significant.
And Aoli was the defense governor appointed by the Lord of Desire. If things were really as the Lord of Desire said, then he, as the defense governor, would definitely be held responsible.
Therefore, after the Lord of Desire uttered those words, his heart jumped instantly, and he became extremely tense and fearful.
"me......"
"My lord, I..."
Aoli dared not question the Lord of Desire's words. Although he did not know how the rats had sneaked in, it was clearly his fault. In this situation, he could only repeatedly admit his mistake and kowtow, hoping that the Lord of Desire would forgive him.
After a series of kowtows and apologies, the Lord's expression finally softened slightly, which brought a smile to his face.
"All right."
"Now that they've already sneaked in, we can't let them out. Gather your men and prepare to surround and kill them here. Note! Before we actually start the operation, don't expose yourselves, lest any rats escape."
"get out!"
After expressing his gratitude, Aoli scurried away from the room. As the Lord of Desire watched his retreating figure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of annoyance.
Why are all my subordinates such useless?!
Although the Lord was furious with his subordinates' performance, he ultimately suppressed his killing intent. Now was the time to use people, and Aoli was quite strong and could be of great use to him.
Moreover, he was extremely loyal and a good dog. As for the mistakes he made, although the master was angry, he didn't take it too seriously.
Based on his perception, there weren't many rats that had entered the city. With so few rats, it was as if they had entered a snake's den, with no chance of escape.
While it's possible there are powerful individuals among them, can anyone be stronger than me?
Moreover, if he could take this opportunity to kill several powerful opponents, the Lord of Desire would undoubtedly be very happy.
After figuring things out, the worry between the Lord's brows gradually dissipated, and he looked at his magnificent longsword again, a confident expression on his face.
hum~
The longsword gleamed with silver light, reflecting half of his face. What was chilling was that the half of his face projected onto the sword did not reveal a human face.
It's a fish:
A grotesque red fish with bared teeth and claws!
The red fish had a grotesque and terrifying face, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and red saliva flowing from its mouth. When its scarlet eyes rolled, the lord's somewhat insane ambition was also clearly revealed.
Looking at the grotesque half of his face that clearly didn't belong to him, a look of madness suddenly appeared on the Lord of Desire's face. Then, he slowly said:
"I am the king, none of you are..."
.............
Almost at the same moment Akano gave the order, the mechanical police officers in the city of Dolenza sprang into action.
With their outstanding camouflage and infiltration skills, they collected a large amount of intelligence, including important information such as the city's defenses, population, and supplies.
Akano will sort out this important information and prioritize sending back the more important pieces of information using special methods.
In addition, some tactics need to be changed, since situations are never static and unexpected situations are bound to occur during missions, which is when he, as the commander, needs to make adjustments.
Fortunately, the first phase of the operation went smoothly, with good communication between the teams and no major problems.
This made Akano feel a little more at ease, since he was still somewhat nervous about operating on the other side's turf.
This is also a drawback of having emotions; if he were a low-level branded mechanical detective, it would be almost impossible for him to experience tension.
Once you have thoughts and ideas, you become hesitant and timid in your actions.
However, it was nothing serious. Akano was experienced in combat and could handle the situation.
but......
"I keep feeling like someone's watching me..."
Akano suddenly looked up and around, but the warehouse was closed on all sides, and he couldn't see a single person.
He remained silent for a while, but finally decided to pick up his equipment and leave.
Whether or not someone was watching him, he had to leave this place. After all, the operation was about to enter its second phase, and he, as the commander, couldn't just sit in the back.
There will definitely be a lot of mobilization at that time, and he will need to take action when necessary, so he must get moving.
Without hesitation, Akano acted swiftly and efficiently, quickly packing his things and leaving the warehouse.
