Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

Should they make Babel's actions public and arrest her as an apology and a show of sincerity to the Chi Nian Clan? But what if they were determined to destroy the Tanit Clan?

"Actually, you don't have to do that. I have some connections with that divine messenger. I can act as a guarantor for the Tanit clan and guarantee that all of this was planned by Babel alone."

"......?!" Breda seemed to have grasped some hope of life after hearing this. For a moment, he could not suppress his excitement, but Gabriel just signaled him to calm down.

The two discussed for a while and finally made up their minds.

Chapter 22: Long-awaited return

"Sister Divine Envoy, is there something you suddenly called me for?" In the Chi Nian Clan, Xiao Kui quickly came to Amber, but Amber just took one of her hands and seemed to be wandering around the Chi Nian Clan casually.

She is 13 years old this year, and Amber is about 26 years old. Calling her auntie seems too old, so Xiaokui chose to call her sister. However, compared to the way Jade addressed Amber, Xiaokui seemed like she was a generation older.

"Nothing, I just heard from Yi that you are doing very well in financial management." Amber curled the corners of her mouth slightly and gently touched Xiaokui's head.

A month has passed since Xiaokui was brought by Yi as a temporary assistant. During this month, the first batch of winemaking tools ordered by Amber from Fontainebleau has also been delivered. They have been put into use and have demonstrated extremely high efficiency, which can be said to be value for money.

Yi praised Xiaokui's performance in the past month. Xiaokui was very sensitive to numbers and his efficiency in accounting was often second only to Yi, and faster than several other assistants. You have to know that those people had been working with Yi for three or four years, but they were surpassed by a 13-year-old child. This undoubtedly proved Xiaokui's talent and ability.

In addition, Xiaokui also showed her talent in management. Some of the ideas she put forward often coincided with Yi's ideas, and sometimes even gave Yi some inspiration.

Frankly speaking, Xiaokui's talent is beyond Amber's expectations. With similar abilities to hers and such a high talent in management, it is hard for Amber not to be tempted. She has recently often thought about whether she needs to train a successor to take over her work after she retires from the management level. This is a real start of a situation where people are governing people.

I was originally having a headache about choosing the right person, but now an excellent talent has appeared. However, Amber still needs further testing on his character.

At this moment, she was holding Xiaokui's hand like an older sister, chatting with Xiaokui about various topics, while intentionally or unintentionally walking towards the edge of the Chi Nian clan's residence.

"Recently, my sister's friend in Fontaine gave me a latest camera, a small machine that can take pictures. Compared with previous cameras, it is smaller in size and very convenient to carry." As she spoke, a tool as big as two fists suddenly appeared in Amber's hand. She showed it to Xiaokui and gestured for Xiaokui to stand under the date palm tree nearby.

Xiaokui was a very smart girl. She immediately saw what Amber was going to do. Faced with such a novel object, even she, who was usually quite calm, became excited. She walked quickly to the date palm tree like a lively sparrow.

"Okay, let's get ready to shoot—" Amber leaned forward slightly, found the right angle, and was ready to press the shutter at any time.

"——!" The dark shadow hidden in the dark finally moved. He seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time. He jumped out from the roof like a shadow, with the sharp blade in his hand pointing at Amber's defenseless back. All this fell into Xiaokui's eyes.

Her reaction was totally unlike that of a 13-year-old child. Although her legs were trembling, she still pointed at Amber's back as fast as she could and shouted loudly to attract the guards around her.

Seeing this, Amber's mouth curled up slightly. With the security strength of the Chi Nian clan, how could they not find this person? After discovering that the other party's target was herself, Amber was not in a hurry to find him, but took the opportunity to test Xiao Kui's character.

The result is gratifying. Xiaokui's reaction to such an "accident" has surpassed too many people. She is only 13 years old. With more training in the future, she will definitely be the best choice for successor.

Amber didn't even look back before the raging lightning descended from the sky, bombarding the attacker with a breath of destruction. This time the attacker was quite strong, and he actually responded immediately under such circumstances. His body deflected in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the raging lightning. Amber had already put away the camera, and the long sword hanging at her waist was unscabbarded by her.

When the first attack failed, the man launched a second attack with the determination to die. Without any hesitation, he rushed towards Amber at full speed after landing. The long sword in Amber's hand was covered with a layer of flames, and the repulsive force caused by lightning stopped the attacker's attack abruptly. Following closely, a dagger was thrown, which pierced the attacker's head and ended his life immediately.

The guards quickly gathered here, and Amber sheathed her sword, returned to Xiaokui and took her hand again.

"Are you scared?" Amber rubbed Xiaokui's head and asked calmly. Such a test might be a bit cruel, but compared with what Xiaokui would encounter if she really took over her job, it was not worth mentioning at all.

"...A little bit." Xiao Kui took two deep breaths in succession, stabilized her violently beating heart, and answered Amber's question.

"Well done, good boy." Amber curled the corners of her mouth slightly, rubbed Xiaokui's head again, and then turned her gaze to the guard.

"Confirm this man's identity, dispose of his body, and then send someone to report to me in the conference room."

"Yes! Lord God Envoy!"

Under the guard's serious attitude, Amber brought Xiaokui to the conference room. Xiaokui sat next to Amber and seemed to have not recovered from the previous accident.

Not long after, the guards reported that the attackers were wearing specialties from the Thousand Valleys Sands, as well as the emblem of Patisalan. Such emblems only existed in clans that believed in the God of Flowers. Currently, the only clan in the Thousand Valleys Sands that also believed in the God of Flowers was Tanit.

Amber signaled him to leave, and arranged for Yi, who entered the meeting room later, to arrange people to appease the members of the Chi Nian clan. She came to the edge intentionally to reduce the possible turmoil, and now there would be no problem as long as she gave a suitable reason, such as she was experimenting with something new and caused an explosion or something.

"Lord God's Messenger, what are you going to do?" After all the outsiders left the meeting room, Ashanti found an opportunity to enter the meeting room, broke away from the invisible and appeared next to Amber, which scared Xiaokui.

"Don't be nervous." Amber smiled and comforted Xiaokui. Xiaokui then roughly understood what she had encountered. The attack on Amber was also an opportunity for Amber to test herself. Then there was the hidden army with the ability to become invisible.

Another side that Xiaokui had never seen before was revealed to her, but she was unexpectedly calm. She had long ago wondered how Amber had managed to make those people disappear quietly overnight, and now she understood it - with such a secret existence, it was not unimaginable for them to do those things.

Amber was increasingly satisfied with Xiaokui's reaction. She asked Xiaokui what she thought: "Xiaokui, what do you think about this matter?"

"..." Xiao Kui was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking. She sorted out the information she knew, "The attackers are clearly from the Tanit clan, a clan that worships the flower god. The attack is likely due to a conflict of faith. The Chi Nian clan is growing stronger, and you, Sister Divine Envoy, are like the most conspicuous tree among them, naturally attracting more wind and sand."

Amber nodded. She could feel that Xiaokui had not finished speaking and was waiting for her next words.

Xiao Kui pursed her lips and spoke again, "But I always feel that things are not that simple. This attack was too hasty and reckless. If they are not desperate or blindly confident, they may be trying to use this to push the Tanit Clan into opposition with the Chi Nian Clan and profit from it."

"Very good!" Faced with Xiaokui's analysis, Amber's joy was beyond words. Ashanti couldn't help but glance at Xiaokui. It seemed that the Lord Messenger of God had gained another good hand.

"No matter what, we need to go to Tanit. Ashanti, lead your team to take a look over there. It's up to you to decide whether to kill them or keep them." Amber waved her hand, and Ashanti immediately understood. She activated the invisibility function again and left the meeting room through the window.

Xiao Kui looked at the now very happy Amber. After Ashanti left, she asked her own question: "Sister Divine Envoy, are you planning to entrust me with something important to do?"

Xiao Kui thought this was very obvious, otherwise Amber would not have needed to test herself like this, nor would she have needed to ask herself these questions.

"Yes." Amber nodded. She patted Xiaokui's shoulder, her eyes filled with anticipation. "From now on, you will follow Abdul for the time being. I will have him familiarize you with the work related to market management and teach you how to fight. I need you to accumulate management experience during this period for future needs."

"...I understand, Sister God's Messenger." Xiao Kui knew in her heart where Amber's expectations of her came from, but she just nodded solemnly.

"From now on, you can call me auntie just like Jade." Amber rubbed Xiaokui's head and slowly left the meeting room with her. Her steps were filled with the lightness that only comes from encountering good things.

On the other side, Ashanti left the meeting room and quickly returned to her room. She placed an hourglass on the windowsill and took out the box containing the crossbow from the secret compartment under the table.

She hung the long sword and the short sword on her waist respectively, held the box in her hands, and after tidying up her clothes, she remained invisible and quietly headed towards a secluded place outside the Chi Nian clan.

In just a few minutes, a total of twenty people including Ashanti gathered here. They were the expanded team, equivalent to the previous four teams, and the allocation of personnel was still the same as the previous teams.

They were lined up neatly and ready to go. As Ashanti waved her hand, they maintained the formation and ran quickly towards the Thousand Valleys Desert.

It has been a long time since the small team went out in full force like this. Now, as the wind-eroded land has become more peaceful, many of them have not taken action for a long time, but the swords in their hands are not rusted at all, and they can still bring fatal death if the messenger of God needs it.

Babel, who was far away in Tanit, was preparing to take the opportunity to assassinate the other elders. She had no idea that her reckless move would bring her a group of enemies far beyond her imagination.

Chapter 23: Finishing Work

"How long do we have to wait here?" On the only way to the Tanit clan, Breda looked at Gabriel who was standing here without saying a word, feeling quite impatient.

"I don't know. According to my calculations, it won't take long." Gabriel did not slack off for a moment, observing every movement around him. A whole day and half a night had passed since the two of them had discussed it. During this period, Breda was extremely anxious. He became like this since he learned from the messenger who had woken up that someone had indeed attacked them.

They called Thea and Igidel to discuss the matter, and finally decided that Breda would take Gabriel to a place two kilometers away from Tanit to find an opportunity to contact the armed men of the Chi Nian clan who were likely to arrive. Their tribe chose not to alarm Babel for the time being, so as to prevent her from doing something crazy in desperation.

According to Gabriel's understanding of the two secret teams, each of them was equipped with an invisible device that was identical to his own. It was likely that they would activate the device to sneak in after arriving at a location one kilometer away from the Tanit clan, and then carry out the "cleaning work" as usual, so they came here in advance.

The emblem of the Chinanian clan was hung openly on Gabriel's chest. He was not very confident that he could find the secret forces before they discovered him, so he planned to let the other party come to him on their own initiative.

The fact was exactly as he expected. Just moments after the two men finished saying this, someone came up behind them and put a knife against their backs.

"Don't act rashly and don't look back." A rather dull female voice came from behind the two of them. Gabriel's mouth curled up slightly when he heard it, while Breda was horrified that the other party could sneak up behind him without anyone noticing.

Just as Gabriel said, if every member of such a team has such ability, then destroying Tanit overnight is not a joke. Breda controlled the expression on his face and did not act rashly at the signal of Gabriel's eyes.

"I'm Hepiter. You should recognize me. It was Tanit's men who attacked the Lord of God, right? I have some information about this matter, and I think you need to hear it."

"..." After hearing Gabriel's words, several people fell into silence. The man who was leaning against the backs of the two seemed to think for a moment, retracted the dagger, and at the same time lifted the invisibility, and came in front of Gabriel.

This was a woman wearing a mask and covered in a dust cloak. She put away the long knife and short knife that she had previously held against the two men's backs. While the two men were observing her, she was also observing Gabriel.

"So, Herpit, what do you want to report?" Ashanti's tone was calm but a little cold. She was not surprised that Gabriel knew that there was a secret army in the tribe. After all, he was an ace that Amber was optimistic about.

"Time is urgent, so I won't delay any longer. Let me make it short." Gabriel did not intend to waste too much time and quickly explained what he had encountered.

"...As for her purpose in doing this, it was probably to push the Tanit clan to the opposite side of the Chi Nian clan, so as to unite the clan members and let herself take over and fulfill her ambition of finding the Eternal Oasis and becoming the messenger of the Flower God. But she underestimated the strength of the Chi Nian clan." Gabriel explained, and Breda, one of the elders of the Tanit clan, also expressed his affirmation.

Ashanti just nodded calmly when she saw this. Gabriel was trustworthy, but she would need to investigate again on her own to confirm before entering Tanit.

"Then let's say goodbye. We will confirm it ourselves later. If the mastermind is indeed Babel, then the Tanit clan can be spared."

After she finished speaking, Ashanti quickly left the place. Along with her footsteps, which were so light that they were almost imperceptible, the sound of more than ten people following her was heard. Breda widened her eyes again.

He originally thought that Ashanti only had a very strong stealth ability, and that the team was temporarily hiding nearby, but he didn't expect that the team members were right next to the two of them, and their stealth ability could not even be described as "stealth", but was completely invisible.

"...Hepiter, you are right. Such an enemy cannot be provoked at all." Breda frowned and thanked Gabriel solemnly. If it were not for him this time, the Tanit clan would really disappear tonight.

"Okay, it's just a piece of cake. The problem is solved. Let's go back." Gabriel just patted Breda on the shoulder and walked towards Tanit first. Breda followed him after hearing that.

Compared to the time before, the two of them slowed down their pace a lot. Breda took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief for surviving the disaster.

……

Tanit clan, in Babel's tent.

Babel was holding a letter in her hand and was reading it. There was the Fatui symbol at the corner of the letter.

She took it for granted that her plan would go smoothly, and contacted the Fatui. With the Fatui's support, she would definitely be able to complete the entire plan more smoothly, and the price she paid would be insignificant in comparison.

The Fatui readily agreed to her cooperation in their reply. Babel smiled slightly, placed the letter on the table, and imagined the power she would gain if her plan was successfully implemented.

"...Wait, is something wrong?" Babel, immersed in joy, suddenly felt that something was missing. She thought carefully, and with a slight breeze blowing into the tent, bringing a slight coolness, she suddenly realized what was missing.

——It’s too quiet around here.

Babel hurriedly stuck her head out of the tent to observe the surroundings, but found that there was no one around, as if she had missed an important event due to sleepiness, and when she woke up she found that she was the only one left behind.

A strong sense of uneasiness filled Babel's heart. Just as she was about to take action, a whistling wind blew into her tent.

"——!!" Barbelle only saw the dazzling light reflected by the metal in the moonlight, followed by two flying arms. Barbelle's pupils contracted reflexively, and she felt that the gold ornaments on the two arms were very familiar.

——It was her own arm.

Before she could even scream, a hand grabbed Babel's head from behind and pushed her to the ground. The layer of sand and dust on the ground stuck to her face, and one figure after another appeared before her eyes, changing from transparent to semi-transparent and then to completely invisible.

They wore uniform masks on their faces and dust-proof cloaks on their bodies, but the weapons they carried were different. Two strong men with shields on their backs drew out the long swords in their hands, and the two long swords were burning with flames as they were inspired.

The flaming sword blade pressed against the wound on Babel's broken arm. Severe pain was transmitted to Babel's brain, along with a strange burnt smell, and a shrill scream came from her mouth.

Ashanti walked out of the tent slowly with the letter from Babel in her hand. There was still some blood on the long knife in her other hand. It was obvious that she was the one who cut off Babel's arms in the first place.

"Babel, you actually dared to betray the Tanit clan? Do you actually regard your ambition as more important than the entire Tanit?!" It was Igidel who appeared from the corner. He was nearly seventy years old and his eyes were full of anger. Ashanti had already roughly read the letter in her hand at this time, and she threw the letter to Igidel.

"...Tsk, what else is there to say at this point! It's simply that I misjudged the Red King's envoy's methods, otherwise you would all die at my hands!" Babel knew that she was powerless to turn the situation around, and she spoke harshly, looking like she only wanted to die quickly.

Igidel suppressed his anger and read the letter in his hand. This time he was shocked and almost fainted.

"You...! You--! Babel!!" Igidel rushed forward and stepped on Babel's head. The fact that he, who was usually very calm, could do such a thing was enough to prove how angry he was. This time he also used all his strength. For a moment, Babel's face was covered with blood and her eyes were distracted.

Igidel almost fell to the ground because of the excessive force he exerted. Seeing this, Theya hurried over to help Igidel up. She took the letter from Igidel's hand and after taking a look at it, she understood why Igidel was so angry.

Cooperating with the Fatui was the most difficult thing for a veteran like Igiddel, who cared deeply about Tanit, to accept. It was far more serious than submitting to the Red King's envoy. At least the Red King's envoy was still a desert person, but the Fatui were not. Was this selling out the entire Tanit? How shameful!

"...I still underestimated you, Babel." Thea was quite disappointed. She was relatively skeptical of Babel's betrayal. She initially thought that Babel was just more radical in her methods, but was essentially still thinking about Tanit. She never thought that she was so cruel and cared more about her personal interests than Tanit.

Ashanti watched this farce silently. She didn't care what happened in the Tanit clan or whether they lived or died. After Igidel caught his breath, he finally remembered some important things as his anger was vented, and immediately came to Ashanti.

"I swear to you as the oldest elder of my Tanit clan that this disrespect to the Lord Messenger of God was done by Babel alone. If you are still angry, I am willing to die in return. I only ask you to spare the members of the Tanit clan!" Igidel said in a trembling voice with his head lowered. Although he was 1.9 meters tall and a head taller than Ashanti, he was completely at a disadvantage in momentum at the moment.

He held a scimitar in his hand, and it seemed that if Ashanti wanted to, he would commit suicide without hesitation to apologize.

Igidel has lived for a long time and has seen too many things. Therefore, he can be sure that although the team in front of him has only 20 people, each of them is definitely a master who can fight ten people at once, not to mention that they are obviously inclined to team cooperation in combat, and have the strange ability to make people completely invisible.

——His death in exchange for the other party's mercy is the best result Igidel could think of.

"I don't have the power to make a decision. The Messenger of God will arrive at the Tanit clan at noon tomorrow, and she will make the decision then." Ashanti was silent for a moment, looked at Babel who was still pinned to the ground, and spoke again.

"As for Babel, I will leave her in your care for the time being. Before the Lord of God arrives, I hope she will suffer enough pain but not be in danger of her life."

After she finished speaking, Ashanti waved her hand, and all the team members present quickly became invisible following Ashanti's gesture. With a series of extremely small footsteps, no one knew where they went.

Faced with Ashanti's words, Igidel did not dare to neglect and ordered several elders to make arrangements quickly. The previous team's entry into invisibility in front of them was also a deterrent. The other party had this ability, which meant that they could easily capture Tanit's every move without them noticing. Therefore, they naturally could not be negligent in the slightest.

Chapter 24: Final Disposition

Noon, Clan Tanit

In the center of the Tanit base, a man was tied to an erected wooden stake, surrounded by more than ten guards. From time to time, members of the Tanit tribe passed by and cast their eyes on the stake.

The person tied to the stake was the former elder Babel. As what she had done was announced to the whole of Tanit, the people were outraged for a while, but this was stopped by Igidel. Before the actual arrival of the messenger of God, no matter how much they hated Babel, they could not kill her.

But not being able to kill does not mean they cannot vent their anger. With Ashanti's instructions, they deliberately chose a location where the wooden stakes are exposed to direct sunlight. The desert has always had a kind of punishment called "exposure punishment", which is to tie people to wooden stakes and expose them to high temperatures when it is hottest. The people will be tortured by the heat and dehydration and are in unbearable pain. It has many variations, and the one currently used is the most basic exposure punishment, which inflicts pain without killing them.

In Tanit's meeting room, the seven elders had been sitting here waiting for a long time. Although they knew that the messenger of God should come before noon, they still sat here solemnly waiting early in the morning.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing and no one spoke. Igidel looked unusually old at this moment. The incident with Babel dealt him a heavy blow. He no longer looked as energetic as before and looked much older with fatigue on his face.

The expressions of the other people were not very good either. They had been sitting here for several hours without eating a single grain of rice. The dark clouds in their hearts made it impossible for them to eat anything.

Finally, something broke the silence. An eagle's cry was heard from outside the conference room. Then, the eagle, which looked quite agile, flew into the conference room and quickly turned into the shape of a human.
