"senior!"

Successfully noticing Mo Tan's disconnection and reconnection immediately, Yi Zou rushed to the Skolsk Hall, politely and urgently knocked on the door, and cautiously asked, "Are you inside?"

Mo Tan nodded slightly, his expression somewhat bitter, and replied loudly, "I'm here, come in."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the guardian knight immediately pushed open the door and rushed to Mo Tan's side, anxiously reporting, "By the way, senior, I just received news that in the southwest..."

“A large morning glory appeared in the southwest. Although it only appeared for a short while before disappearing, it still caused very bad consequences.”

Mo Tan raised his hand to interrupt Yi Zou, and said with a sigh, "At this stage, our scout teams sent into the territory of the Steelmane Tribe have been almost indirectly rendered powerless by that 'Big Morning Glory,' right?"

Yi Zou paused for a moment, then nodded with a subtle expression and replied, "Yes, that 'Big Morning Glory' almost completely ignored the people we had arranged and placed in various settlements. By the time everyone realized what had happened, the people in several settlements had been completely incited, while he himself had disappeared without a trace. Even the best scouts in [Ye Yin] couldn't find a trace of him."

"I guess so."

Mo Tan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing no surprise whatsoever. His face was filled with helplessness and annoyance, making him look quite ferocious, which pained Yi Zou.

After all, in the female knight's eyes, her senior had really worked very hard. Not only did he use the unique information channel belonging to the otherworldly people to study the 'Morning Glory', but he also had to take care of the cooperation with the Holy Church's joint investigation team, remotely command the main force to confront the Blood Barbarians in Eagle Claw Gorge, and many other matters. It was simply too hard for him.

Mo Tan, the person involved, was troubled by something else entirely. Simply put, he realized once again that he had no way to stop that 'big morning glory,' which was himself in the form of Tan Mo.

Unfortunately, as the joint leader of the Dunbua City Army and the Skolke Resistance Army, and a key figure with the unreserved cooperation of the Holy Church Joint Investigation Team, 'Priest Black Brahma' possessed far too much intelligence. And once intelligence falls into the hands of certain dangerous individuals, its harmfulness increases almost exponentially. Regrettably, Mo Tan, under the chaotic neutral personality, is the character with the game ID 'Tan Mo' in [The Realm of Innocence], and is such a terrible scourge.

Moreover, although it is far from comparable to the character 'Mo' in terms of strength, as one of the three characters under Mo Tan's name, 'Tan Mo' is not simply slightly stronger than 'Hei Fan'. In fact, among all players of [Innocent Realm], if we only consider the level of melee cunning classes, the character 'Tan Mo' is very likely to rank in the top five!

After all, even setting aside the fact that he often completes many high-difficulty tasks with absurd completion rates, every time 'Mo' receives instruction from 'Shapo', it greatly improves the combat ability of the character 'Tanmo'. Therefore, even though his online time is far less than that of normal players, it is enough for him to gradually stand out in this 'bottleneck period' where everyone is stuck before the epic level.

In fact, even in terms of potential alone, 'Tan Mo' is definitely no less than the other two characters who possess the super-specific weapon [Xiao] and have a lot of legendary items in their quest logs. After all, if Mo Tan hadn't caused any trouble while he was 'Tan Mo', he would likely have broken through to the epic rank earlier than Gu Xiaole and Ji Xiaodao, completely completing the instant reversal from being outside the rankings to being on the homepage.

Unfortunately, Tan Mo is bound to cause trouble, so he is still at the peak of the high-level stage and hasn't even touched the threshold of the half-step epic stage.

but--

This doesn't mean Tan Mo is weak. Among the countless players in the [Realm of Innocence], there are only four genuine Epic-level players, and even including the character 'Mo', there are at most less than ten players who are half-Epic. Although this number will probably increase significantly soon, at least for now, Tan Mo definitely possesses top-tier strength. Coupled with the intelligence he has and his almost unfair [Hundred Forms], even if the player-led scout team Ye Yinzhong of the Dunbuya City Army is full of hidden talents, the probability of finding him is undoubtedly zero.

and so--

"I have already given the order to the Leaf Hidden Clan in charge of the Steelmane Tribe Kingdom to focus on maintaining order. Even if they encounter that 'Big Flower Morning Glory,' they only need to keep a minimum eye on her and not do any more futile work like interfering or tracking her."

Mo Tan, who had just turned off friend notifications, breathed a sigh of relief and shrugged, saying, "Instead of wasting manpower to find a relatively controllable unstable factor, ensuring that our current plan can be implemented smoothly is the right way."

Yi Zou nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "I will listen to what you say, senior."

"You've worked hard these past few days too."

Because she was very clear about her own thoughts, Mo Tan wasn't really worried about the 'Morning Glory' causing any big trouble. She breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in her chair, and smiled at the half-dragon girl who was always by her side, having almost given up all entertainment and leisure: "Staying here with me all the time, unable to go to the front line to demonstrate your value as an epic-level powerhouse, aren't you feeling a little stifled?"

"will not."

The female knight gave a negative answer without hesitation, and said seriously, "I am your guardian knight. My value is to protect your safety and ensure that you can carry out your will, so that all controllable and uncontrollable factors can dance under your baton."

"Don't, don't say that."

Mo Tan scratched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "The idea of ​​dancing under a baton is just too childish... I mean, it's embarrassing. I'm past that age, and I can't stand hearing those kinds of things now."

"But I'm telling the truth."

Having blindly admired Mo Tan ever since hearing about his miraculous feat of turning the tide during the Great Plague in Misha County, and then personally witnessing his thwarting of the Whispering Cult's conspiracy in the northeastern parish of Mount Sumir, Yi Zou stared at Mo Tan with a steady gaze and smiled, "Because you are just that amazing, senior."

"If you keep praising him, our commander will probably want to crawl into a hole and hide."

Accompanied by a rather sexy smoky voice and a faint tobacco scent made from calming flowers, Jenny Liberl, the chief astrologer under Black Vane, casually pushed open the door, a cigarette dangling from her lips, and slowly walked in, saying with a half-smile, "After all, a certain guy with both the terrible traits of self-deprecation and arrogance can't stand this kind of talk, right?"

"Correct."

A sleepy-eyed Luna Lynch followed closely behind, her steps unsteady as if she were sleepwalking, and casually replied with this remark.

Behind them were Elgar and Skork's group, along with Sharia, Romeo and the pig, and other high-ranking members of the Dunbua City's inner circle.

“I guessed you were planning to hold a meeting, so I took the liberty of bringing them along.” Jenny, who had already answered before Mo Tan could speak, casually pulled out the chair to Mo Tan’s left and sat down. Then, under Yi Zou’s disapproving gaze, she turned her head and blew a smoke ring in Mo Tan’s face: “You don’t mind, do you, Commander?”

Mo Tan shook his head and said helplessly, "Well, thank you very much."

"So, Lord Black Brahma, you really want to summon us here for a chat?"

Elgar, known for his decisive and efficient style, did not sit opposite Mo Tan this time, having already handed over the title of 'Skolk' to him. Instead, under the cheerful gazes of Sharia and the others, he sat on the other side of Mo Tan. Elgar, who clearly understood his place, coughed lightly and then, after everyone was seated, reported succinctly: "During your absence, apart from that 'Big Morning Glory' seemingly causing quite a bit of trouble, everything else proceeded smoothly without any special circumstances."

Sitting next to Jenny, Sharia nodded and said calmly, "That's right. The feedback from the 'Agency' is similar. The Blood Barbarians are surprisingly calm. Although they are still holding their ground and repelling our probing attacks every time, they have no intention of taking the initiative. They still seem to have no idea of ​​seizing the initiative."

"That's natural. After all, they have the [Tonglu] Fortress behind them, and the Holy Church Joint Investigation Team to the east is there to check and balance them, so they can't take any effective measures."

Dominic, the only human strategist in the Skork camp and a former unscrupulous merchant, stroked his ring and said leisurely, "Thanks to Lord Black Vane, news has spread that Skork has abandoned its previous self-preservation-oriented approach and is now directly fighting against Headless Cliff, Bloodfeather Plateau, and the Steelmane Tribe. We've received a lot of positive feedback recently. Headless Cliff has the fewest positive feedback, and a considerable number of settlements in Bloodfeather Plateau that had previously been in contact with us are gradually wavering. As for the Steelmane Tribe..."

"It's about to explode."

Romeo clicked his tongue and said with a subtle expression, "As for the specific reason, everyone knows it without me having to say it. It's that elusive and mysterious Morning Glory. Given that person's insane ability to incite, a large number of Boarmen have strongly demanded to join Skolk and have shown a fighting spirit to the death against the tribal royal family. However, given that we have adopted relatively gentle methods of winning them over and guiding them, and given the sheer size of the Boarmen, there is no risk of being discovered in the short term, but only in the 'short term'."

"Very good, thank you all for your explanation."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, then asked Luo Ou curiously, "Speaking of which, how is the situation with Tian Ping? I haven't received any news from her these past two days."

"Uh... the situation isn't very good."

Luo hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Up to now, Miss Libra has spawned a skeleton army of over a thousand, and that number is growing at a rate of three to five hundred per day."

Mo Tan blinked, bewildered, and asked, "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you say the situation isn't good?"

"Because we have run out of the temporary skeletons for armor. Although many young people are working day and night on the front lines to forge them, the speed is still not as fast as the speed at which the Libra girl catalyzes those high-calcium skeletons."

Old Dagran stroked his long beard and said with a wry smile, "The result was that the skeletons that came out later weren't wearing armor, which scared Libra. My goodness, a necromancer scared by his own skeletons, I've never seen anything like it in my life."

"I understand. It seems she didn't message me most likely because she was resentful, and she also knows that she can find out the situation anytime she wants."

After silently mourning for Libra for half a second, Mo Tan put the memory of being terrified by the skeleton out of his mind and said calmly, "In that case, we should make some preparations and proceed with our next move."

What's next?

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, exchanging glances and confirming their suspicions, clearly having never heard of any 'next action'.

finally--

Why are you all staring at me?

After everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on her, Jenny Liberl curled her lip, rolled her eyes, and said, "I'm just a lousy third-rate astrologer, I can't possibly predict the grand plans in Lord Black Van's head."

"I don't have any grand plans, I just feel it's about time to speed things up."

Mo Tan shook his head under Jenny's glare, then his gaze sharpened and he said seriously, "The reason I'm only saying this now is not because I'm deliberately hiding anything, but because I really need some feedback to refine my thoughts. So first of all, I want to tell you all that time is not our friend."

Elgar paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "But Black Vane, didn't you say before that we needed enough time to prove ourselves to those onlookers? Is that enough?"

"This is certainly not enough, but we can't continue with this 'stalemate' approach any longer."

Mo Tan raised his hand and pinched his brow, saying softly, "The Holy Alliance's 'cooperation' and 'patience' with us are not endless. If we cannot open up or change the situation in a short time, even if they are pressured by the three major sects of Dawn, Justice and Abundance and do not withdraw the investigation team, they will most likely try to quell this 'farce' in a short time."

"For example?"

"For example, for the Holy Church Alliance, finding the two Holy Sons and confirming their safety is not a difficult task. The reason they are willing to come and make a show of it is simply to see what we can do."

"If you don't do a good job, will they calm things down and go back to the way things were before?"

"Yes."

"And what if you do well?"

"In that case, the two princes will probably remain 'missing' for a long time to come."
