"Found it, this is the book—"

Dabus, who was sitting cross-legged beside the fire, suddenly widened his eyes, raised a plain-looking booklet with a white cover in his hand, and said loudly, "Xiao Le is right, the list and account of that damn place are indeed in this pile of things!"

"Please show me!"

Zar, who was sitting opposite a pile of scrolls and books, stood up suddenly, trotted to Anthony Dabus' side, squatted beside the latter and stared at the plain book. He took a breath after just two glances: "Yes! This is it! If we give this thing directly to the reporting unit of the Anka Market Management Agency..."

However, before Nar could finish his words, Bilger beside him shook his head and interrupted him, saying seriously: "No, we can't give this thing to anyone until we find someone we can absolutely trust. It's best not to let others know about it."

Yaya, who was leaning against Wang Badan sharpening his knife (drill), turned to look at Bilge with red eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Uh……"

Bilge, who was somewhat uncomfortable with Sister Yaya's current style, paused for a moment, then explained concisely: "It's like this, Sister Yaya, the book that Brother Dabus found contains too much information. If it is just the account, there will be many things that cannot be explained when taken out alone. And if it is paired with the guest list..."

Yaya shook his ears and casually inserted the Flesh Ripper into the black soil beside him, which was obviously very solid, but was like tofu and was buried in the black soil for at least 50 centimeters in the blink of an eye. He asked impatiently, "What will happen if I match it?"

"It will involve a lot of very sensitive people."

Bilger sighed and said with a sullen face, "This place is too close to Ankh. Even if most of the guests there are not really big shots, in many cases, the most difficult ones to deal with are the middle and lower-level people in the powerful group... It is too unrealistic to simply hope that there are no connections in the reporting process."

Yaya glanced at the gloomy-looking Bilge and comforted him casually, "Mo will solve it."

"Brother Mo..."

Bilger was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Mo Tan who was on guard alone a little further away, and said with a wry smile: "That's what I said, but the situation in Anka is too complicated. Although I also think that Brother Mo will not sit and wait for death, this kind of thing should ultimately be a headache for us locals."

However, Yaya only lowered his eyes impatiently and began to take care of his bloodstained [Aggressor], saying without even looking up: "But you obviously can't do anything, so just let Mo do it."

"Haha, what Yaya said is true."

Bilge did not insist any further, but stood up and walked towards Mo Tan who was not far away, saying with a smile: "Then I will go ask Brother Mo."

"go."

Yaya immediately revealed a 'teachable' expression, shook his ears happily, and his tail swung proudly.

Just like that, although he didn't intend to let Mo Tan worry about everything, Birger, who really had no clue for the time being, made up his mind immediately, walked quickly behind the former who was on guard around, and called softly: "Brother Mo."

"Have you rested well?"

Although he always maintained awareness of the surrounding environment, Mo Tan was a little distracted. He was half a beat slower before turning to look at Bilger. He smiled in his reassuring voice, "Do you want to eat something? I have some snacks here. You can take them and share with everyone else."

After saying that, Mo Tan took out a large bag of emergency food for Yaya and Anthony from his bag, and stuffed it into Bilge's arms without saying anything, without giving the other party a chance to refuse.

"In that case, thank you, Brother Mo."

Seeing that Mo Tan was determined, Bilge did not insist. He simply thanked him, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Well, I don't know if you heard it just now, Brother Mo, but Brother Dabus found the accounts and rosters of that place. There are many secret things in them. Although they can be very useful, I don't think it is a good idea to hand them over rashly. After all... that place is too involved."

Mo Tan did not show any surprise when he heard this. Instead, he nodded slowly as if he had expected it, and his tone was as gentle as always: "That's true, so as a 'local' of Anka Market and the acting head of the [Destroyer Mercenary Group], what do you think?"

Perhaps because of Brother Mo's calm attitude, Bilge did not rush to answer the former's question. Instead, he hesitated for a few minutes before gently shaking his head and said helplessly: "To be honest, Brother Mo, I really can't think of any ideal solution at the moment. Although I just had a few ideas, none of them can stand up to scrutiny."

"Understandable."

Mo Tan raised his hand and patted Bilge on the shoulder, who looked a little remorseful, and said comfortingly: "The darkness you have witnessed in the past two hours has probably surpassed the total of the past ten years. Even if you can sort out these things logically, it is probably difficult to incorporate them into your usual thinking mode in a short period of time. This is normal."

Bilge nodded and said anxiously, "But I don't have time to digest these things slowly. Brother Mo, you should also know that if the account and list cannot be put into use in a short period of time, I'm afraid it won't be long before the contents inside become worthless."

"I know what you mean, Bilger."

Mo Tan put some more force on Burge's shoulder, trying to calm this worried boy who always unintentionally put pressure on himself, and after a few seconds of silence, he said seriously, "So if you don't mind, you can let me handle this matter."

Bilger was stunned at first, then immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the contents of that account book and the roster could lead to fatal dangers if we are not careful. You don't have any roots here. Even for the sake of everyone in the Paw Patrol, you can't..."

"Everyone will be fine."

Mo Tan calmly interrupted Bilge, and emphasized in a brisk tone: "What I mean is that this matter can be left to me... instead of 'us' to handle. If nothing unexpected happens, at least before we are ready, the Paw Patrol will not be in danger, and neither will I personally."

Bilge was a smart and even mature boy, so he did not ask any questions. Instead, he stood up straight after Mo Tan finished speaking and bowed to him seriously: "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Mo."

"It's okay." Mo Tan shook his head and showed a complicated smile: "After all, I can't guarantee that every evildoer will pay the price immediately, I can't ensure that every victim can be saved, and I can't even promise that justice will be served."

Bilge stared into Mo Tan's clear and bright eyes and said seriously, "But I believe that Brother Mo, you will do your best."

"I hope I won't betray your trust."

Mo Tan shrugged noncommittally, then exchanged punches with Burge, then transformed the [Xiao·Eternal Hate Thorn] in his hand from dagger form back to sword form, and walked towards the fire that was not too blazing but warm enough, while clapping his hands vigorously and speaking loudly in a voice that could be heard by everyone: "The break is over, guys, time is limited, it's time for us to set off for the next date."

"it is good."

The beautiful Onmyoji girl who was in the best condition and consumed the least energy among the crowd smiled sweetly and was the first to respond crisply.

Yaya also shook her slender white neck with a click, and stood up holding the Flesh Ripper and the Abuser, pretending to smile casually, "We should have set off a long time ago. I'm so bored that I want to sleep."

Anthony Dabbs, who was beside the fire, also stood up and said, "Sister Yaya, you are amazing. Anthony is so tired... and a little hungry? /Mo, hold this thing for you."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask Ye Ge to get you something filling and filling."

Mo Tan first gave Anthony an apologetic smile, then took the books handed over by Dabus and nodded, saying, "I will find a way to deal with it properly, but you'd better not have too high expectations."

Dabus shrugged his (right) shoulder and spread his (right) hand, saying: "That's better than me. My connections are limited to Academy City, and they are only mid-level teaching positions. I can't help at all."

At the same time, Nar, Zar, Nymeya, Alkik and Haroni, who had just been staggering, also gritted their teeth and stood up. Although they looked very weak, they still tried their best to put on an appearance of "I can still beat ten of them", and they had to fight hard and not let their momentum collapse.

But to be honest, we really can't blame these young people for their lack of strength this time. In fact, in the life-and-death fight just now, both the Paw Patrol and the backbone of the younger generation of the Loya tribe had consumed enormous resources. Except for Mo Tan and Gu Xiaole who maintained [Domain·Rage] and [Inherent Barrier·Suffering Pleasure] throughout the whole process, the others only managed to hold on in the end thanks to their madness.

Although Bilge and Haroni, who went into battle with injuries, did not face the strongest security personnel, they still endured tremendous pressure in the desperate fight of those operators. If Gu Xiaole had not covered the entire battlefield with "spiritual power" from the beginning and also taken care of a lot of "assistance", "support" and even "healer" work, Nymya and Zar, who had weaker frontal combat capabilities, would probably have been killed more than three times.

The other members of the Paw Patrol were not having an easy time either. After losing Jadka, the shield-position attack point, and Lujiang, the versatile auxiliary, the pressure on the others doubled.

First of all, although Mo Tan and Gu Xiaole almost single-handedly defeated more than 60% of the enemy's manpower, they were also subject to a lot of restrictions. The former only activated [Domain·Rage] and did not open [Reverse Scale·Full Release] and [Herrser's Determination]. Although his frontal combat ability was outrageous, his mobility and support capabilities were difficult to fully utilize. Gu Xiaole had to rely on spiritual power to analyze the entire battlefield at all times. While suppressing the enemy and avoiding casualties on his own side, he also had to ensure that no one would slip through the net.

Therefore, Anthony Dabbs gritted his teeth and took on the triple responsibilities of shield, attack and fire suppression. He fought at the forefront with his outrageous physical fitness, impact force and fel energy spells, and had almost no breathing space.

Yaya, Bilge and others formed the blades on the left and right sides of the "meat grinder", killing the enemies who had suffered Mo Tan's breakthrough, Gu Xiaole's constraints, and Anthony Dabbs's attack as quickly as possible. Not only was the consumption of the whole process ridiculously high, but they also had to keep up with the pace that Mo Tan took the initiative to slow down for everyone, striving to have more than three links in each link, and then continuously create a snowball effect.

During the process, Wang Badan, who was at the center of the team, was also not idle. Wang Ba, who had been brooding over not being taken along during the last exploration of [Ancient Ruins: Purple Night], finally became the C position today. Relying on the blood contract between him and Mo Tan, he was forced to become the rhythm controller and the second core of the dual-core tactics. He was almost exhausted to the point of vomiting blood under the 'guidance' of his big brother.

Putting aside Gu Xiaole, who began to control the situation shortly after the battle began, for a long time the battlefield was divided into two parts. In the front was Mo Tan, who constantly tore apart the enemy's defenses, organization, and schemes, and in the back was everyone except Mo Tan.

Mo Tan at this moment is not 'Hei Fan'.

Therefore, he couldn't split the entire battlefield into individual notes and weave a siren song in a very short time that would make both the enemy and us dance to its melody, making the chips of both sides work for him as if by magic.

However, as 'Mo', he could clearly see that there were countless ways to crush the enemy's forces and plans, and to open up a path to triumph for himself and his companions right under his feet.

So, he stepped on it, and followed without hesitation the "right way" in his eyes, which was neither the kingly way, nor the hegemonic way, nor the treacherous way, and walked forward courageously.

As the saying goes, "In any battle, the right tactics are used to unite and the unusual tactics are used to win." Although Mo Tan in his current personality is not good at using troops and strategies, but -

He is good at fighting.

……

[Many people like to compare war to a game of chess, and compare us to chess players, but in my opinion, whether in terms of honor or weight, the so-called "chess pieces" fighting bravely on the battlefield are never half as important as the "chess players" who strategize.

As for the so-called "upper limit", haha, didn't I just say it? Although everyone likes to compare war to a chess game, metaphor is only a metaphor after all, and it is not quite fair. After all, chess pieces have an upper limit, but chess players do not.

Hei Fan once taught me an interesting board game.

If we use chess as an analogy, if a chess piece can move both to the sun and to the field, can hit the cow across the mountain, can also charge forward, can be killed as soon as it shows its head, and can also move horizontally, vertically, left, and right...

What kind of chess player could be more valuable than a so-called chess piece like this?
