Only I can make them stronger

Having embarked on the path of being a wilderness thug, there is no way back for him.

If he leaves the organization, he will only be hunted endlessly in several cities.

Thinking of this, Dill's suppressed emotions became even more irritable. He looked around with cold eyes and said in a deep voice to his men behind him:

"Bring those forges here."

Although he knew nothing about minerals, the raid mission clearly stated that in areas where blue crystals existed, all surrounding minerals would be affected and undergo some strange changes.

Dillwen didn't understand the specific changes, but he believed that these blacksmiths would give him a definite answer.

Soon, a fierce-looking burly man came forward with a dozen blacksmiths with different expressions.

Dillven glanced at everyone's faces, then pointed at one of them and suddenly asked:

“Is there anything special about these ores?”

"No...nothing...except that they all look good and have good hardness, there's nothing special about them..." A fearful voice sounded tremblingly.

This guy was one of the fools who had agreed to make the minerals into armor inlays. In his opinion, these minerals were nothing special except that they were rare.

But before he could finish his words, an ice cone pierced through his abdomen and came out of his back. It was bright red, but even the blood quickly solidified into a thin shell, making the ice cone look strangely beautiful.

Dillwyn withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and the ice cone disintegrated in mid-air. The incompetent blacksmith fell to the ground, his face pale with fear, and he was already becoming stiff.

The brutal means made everyone's eyes jump.

Standing before them was an unreasonable and bloodthirsty man.

And as long as he didn't hear the answer he wanted from him, he would let him leave this world completely without hesitation.

After dealing with the first forger, Dillwyn acted as if nothing had happened and pointed at someone casually again.

It’s Aunt Careya.

87. Genelle of Phoenix

Careya took a deep breath and slowly took a step forward, but his eyes did not contain the fear and tension of the previous man.

She was also someone who had seen big scenes. Judging from the strength and proficiency of the opponent's attack just now, this person should be at the fourth to fifth level.

These enemies who suddenly attacked from the dark twenty minutes ago and the monsters outside jointly controlled the venue, and the symbols on their clothes that they did not hide fully explained their identities.

Judging from a comprehensive perspective, the tall and thin man with a grumpy face in front of him is most likely the squadron leader of Shadow Claw.

The fact that the squadron leader led a team to raid this not-so-large mining area further proved that there must be something special hidden under the recently opened mineral vein.

And so far, it seems like most of them are good things.

Want to say something?

Careya considered the seriousness of the situation and hesitated whether to tell the other party the fact about the mineral vein.

After careful observation of the surrounding monsters, some traces of human craftsmanship were found on their bodies. In addition, they obeyed the other party's orders so "obediently", which made it obvious that they were artificial creations of the other party.

In other words, Shadow Claw has recently acquired new technology.

Then this attack is likely related to this technology.

If they were told the truth, the overall combat effectiveness of the Shadow Claw organization might be increased by several levels, and many cities would be in great danger.

But if they didn't tell them, they all saw what happened to that person just now...

Careya is a man with a sense of morality, but he is not willing to give up his life simply for the sake of morality.

"They are all noobs, it's normal that they can't see it, so don't make it difficult for them." Just as she was struggling, another slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the side.

It was the girl who had a small conflict with Evan before. She also took a step forward and spoke in a relaxed tone.

From the two eyes that showed from under her head hat, Careya could see that she didn't really seem nervous.

"Are you a blacksmith too?" Dillwyn frowned slightly and glanced at her, seeming not to believe her.

This woman looked completely different from the other people around her. Her fair and delicate skin clearly didn't look like it had been tempered by a fire.

If it were any other time, if such a strange person suddenly interrupted her, she might have been a corpse now.

But for the sake of the mission, Dillven suppressed his anger and waited for the other party's answer.

If she was playing tricks on him, he swore, he would make her die miserably.

"Ginelle from Phoenix, clerk and weapons manufacturing consultant at Phoenix Office. My name can be found in any office database."

As she spoke, she turned up the collar of her work clothes to show the office badge, on which a golden half-phoenix was lifelike, which was the logo of Phoenix.

She is the "partner" that Karen has mentioned many times. She gave her name at this time in order to make the other party a little more cautious and not to act recklessly.

"From Phoenix Office?" Dillwyn frowned even deeper.

In a small place like the Livica Mining District, are there people from a Level IV γ-type office?

"What a trouble..." Thinking so in his heart, Dillwyn moved closer to Jinniel and said condescendingly:

"Since he is Phoenix's man, he should be very clear about us Shadow Claws—"

"In the wilderness, as long as you can't beat me, it's useless even if you're from a Level V firm. Don't think about putting on airs in front of me, and don't try to play tricks on me."

"I understand. I just don't want to see too many corpses around me... I personally hate the smell of blood." Jinelle said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, her amber eyes staring at Dilwen indifferently, so that the latter could not see her lurking.

"But since she didn't attack directly, it means her strength is not as good as mine." However, Dillwen was still slightly relieved.

They have taken down many senior firm members, but they will not be scared off by the name.

"Then tell me what is so special about these ores."

"They are all forced to hybridize, which means that there is a high-density energy source in the vein where they were mined. It could be a very powerful monster, or it could be a gathering point of energy, or it could be some special product with high energy content."

Without hesitation, Jinniel said what some people had just guessed.

"Damn it! How could you tell these criminals such important information directly! What if..."

An angry voice rang out from the forge, but it was replaced by the sound of a gunshot and a body falling heavily to the ground.

The man who died was a typical person with a strong sense of morality. Even in such an era and world, he was still unwilling to compromise with people like Shadow Claw.

So he quickly became a corpse.

"You fool who can't see the situation clearly." Dillwyn didn't even move his eyes. He didn't care about the dead man's appearance at all. He was thinking about the other person's words in his heart.

"I agree." Jinniel shrugged, unexpectedly maintaining the same attitude as Dillven.

This move seems quite infuriating to many people.

But at least Careya felt that she was probably one of the "idiots" the other party was talking about.

She took the initiative to stand up just now because she didn't want more people like herself to die at the hands of the other side.

"Where is the vein?" Dillwen continued to ask quickly.

"It's just to the east." Jinniel said quickly. There was nothing worth hiding about this information. She could ask anyone.

"But if you want to find something, I suggest you bring some professionals with you. When it comes to the internal conditions of the mine, even if outsiders know there is a treasure hidden underneath, they can only watch helplessly."

"How many people are needed?" Dillwyn narrowed his eyes, a hint of threat slowly emerging.

"We need at least five expert-level screeners, fifteen miners and at least twenty people who do odd jobs. The miners also need to have considerable knowledge of minerals." Although Jinniel sensed the danger in the other party's emotions, she still said it with gritted teeth.

"Thirty-five people... and many of them need knowledge of minerals..." Dillwyn suddenly sneered and opened his hand in front of Jinniel, with a hint of coldness coming out of it.

The latter felt as if he had instantly arrived on a snowy mountain from a stuffy room, and even the air he breathed into his lungs was extremely cold.

"Do you think I'm easy to fool?" came a murderous voice.

"You can try to kill us all, and then you will be confused by the intricate mineral veins." But Jinniel still managed to keep her voice steady, leaned her head over, and said indifferently.

This heart-pounding state lasted for about ten seconds before Dillven withdrew his hand and sneered:

"Very good. I believe you."

"But we Shadow Claws have never kept anyone alive at the request of others."

"Kill all the blacksmiths who are less than the second level, and the rest...keep five miners, and deal with the rest."

"I'll just leave these people for you. I believe it shouldn't be difficult for one person to do the work of two or three people, right?"

As soon as the words fell, screams began to be heard one after another.

The main venue, which had just experienced a massacre, was once again hit by a bloody wave.

Seeing this, Jinniel could only sigh slightly in her heart.

"I've tried my best. If I have to blame someone, I can only blame you for being too weak..."

88. Blue Crystal

There were quite a few people at the venue, and most of them were aliens with certain combat capabilities.

But no one dared, and no one had the ability, to resist Dilvian and his troops.

Although Dillwyn and Velen are both at the fourth level, one is at the elementary level and the other is at the peak level. Moreover, Dillwyn is proficient in both the combat domain and the spell-like domain. His combat power is extremely strong, and he is not much inferior even when facing a mid-level fifth level.

These aliens at the scene were at most level three, and in his hands were actually no different from level one. Whenever they fought, they were killed instantly.

Not to mention, there were a group of level 2 and 3 Shadow Claw minions and more than 30 type 3 monsters surrounding them, eyeing them eagerly.

With a combat capability of this scale, raiding a mining area that mainly produces E-grade ore is really a bit of an overestimation of the latter.

After the conversation between Jinelle and Dilven, most people figured out the real intention of Shadow Claw's visit -

There is a mysterious element hidden beneath the mineral veins.

Now it seems that this thing is not a high-risk thing, but a real treasure.

But even if they knew it now, it would have nothing to do with them.

The greatest victory would be to save your life this time.

At this time, a group of people were being escorted to the underground mine in the east. In addition to the five miners who stayed behind, there were only four blacksmiths left, a total of nine people.

Careya was among them, and escaped the massacre just now.

Fortunately, her indoor strength barely exceeded the second level, so she was considered useful in Dillven's eyes.

But she was not naive enough to think that she could survive by doing things for the other party.

People like Shadow Claw always squeeze out all the value they can from things they have and then just dispose of them.

Careya had no choice but to accept the defeat.

Helpless and sad, she could only hope that Xia Ye and the others would be a little more alert. If they could successfully escape from the mining area and return to the Xia city-state alive, at least she could hang a "Abandoned and Sealed" sign on her shop to prevent it from being messed up by some people who stole things because the owner was away for a long time.

…………

If Xia Ye knew the situation at the main venue, he would probably feel a little guilty for a few seconds.

After all, they were the only ones who knew in advance that Shadow Claw would attack, but they did not tell anyone about it.

After all, the more people know, the more variables there are.

In such an environment, he can only take care of his own people.

While Dillwyn was leading his men to the mine, they finally managed to get out of the mine.

As soon as I reached the roadside, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.

The blood from the main venue had already flowed out of the gate, forming a gurgling stream in front.

It is not difficult to imagine that at least dozens of people died there to make it so tragic.

"The door is open and not guarded?" Xia Ye used real vision to check with some confusion, but found that the office building of the conference venue was empty except for dead silence.

"Could it be... that it's over?"

His heart went cold.

If Dillven had completed the mission and carried out the final massacre, it would mean that their trip was in vain, and they would have to pay a high compensation for mission failure when they returned.

"No, not yet... probably." At this moment, Karen suddenly said with a serious expression.

"How do you know?" The other three looked at her.

"Jinelle is still alive, and she left me a mark to indicate the current direction." Karen gently pointed to the ground diagonally in front of her. There was a unique triangular arrow mark vaguely left on it, which seemed to have been printed with some kind of mechanical engraving device.
