Chapter 772: The Hidden Mirror Disaster
“Mr. Guan?” Chen Mo Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing the name. “Commander Zuo, is it really necessary to mobilize a top-tier human powerhouse for such a trivial matter?”
“A trivial matter?” Zuo Qing shook his head. “Mo Yu, you should be well aware of the current situation in the Great Xia. Those divine nations shrouded in mist have already begun to take action against us. The large-scale inducement of powerful ‘mysterious’ forces from abroad to invade the Great Xia’s borders is just their first step. They aim to wear down our military strength and even use the ensuing chaos to probe the depths of our divine beings…
We cannot intervene in the divine war, but it is our supreme mission to ensure the safety of the Great Xia’s citizens and territory.
The Shenlong Pass is one of the twelve A-class war strongholds. Although these strongholds are not yet fully completed and the [War Mode] has not been officially activated, with only a small number of personnel stationed there, they still fulfill the duty of monitoring and guarding the Great Xia’s borders.
Half a year ago, the first disaster-level ‘mysterious’ beast tide sounded the alarm for us. Just a couple of days ago, the Xie Society brought intelligence indicating that a second disaster-level beast tide seems to be brewing in the mist…
This period is too sensitive; we cannot overlook any potential dangers.”
Chen Mo Yu nodded. “I understand. I will go and ask Mr. Guan to take action.”
Just as Chen Mo Yu was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and walked back.
“Commander Zuo, according to the higher-ups’ suggestion, after entering a state of readiness, the number of new recruits for the Night Watchmen this time is three times that of previous years. The personnel list has already been released; please take a look.”
Chen Mo Yu took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Zuo Qing.
Zuo Qing took the document and read it carefully. After a moment, he nodded.
“Hmm, no issues. Have the venue and instructor problems been resolved?”
“The venue issues have been settled, but the problem lies with the instructors,” Chen Mo Yu said helplessly. “Since the number of new recruits has suddenly increased so much, if we continue to have the original fixed team of instructors train them, the numbers will be quite mismatched. With the limited number of instructors, it will be difficult to train the new recruits effectively, and among this batch of new recruits, there are quite a few troublemakers, which may lead to insufficient deterrence…
However, we are currently in a state of readiness, and the Night Watchmen teams across the country are short-staffed, making it impossible to mobilize active-duty Night Watchmen on a large scale to take on the role of instructors.”
Zuo Qing pondered for a long time and then nodded slightly.
“I understand… In that case, issue a transfer order to the [Mask] team, allowing them to temporarily serve as special instructors for the new recruit training camp. When they are not on missions, let them assist the instructors in training the new recruits.
Having a special team stationed here is far more efficient than simply increasing the number of instructors, and it can also set a good example for these new recruits.”
“[Mask] team?” Chen Mo Yu was taken aback. “Commander Zuo… The [Mask] team has to guard the ‘Jialin Pass’ and also deal with the ‘mysterious’ threats. Their schedule is already quite full; they may not have time to serve as special instructors.”
“I can personally oversee the Jialin Pass,” Zuo Qing slowly stood up from his seat. “It’s just a change of location for work; it’s not a big deal. Relatively speaking, the future of the Night Watchmen is more important.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo Yu’s eyes showed a hint of emotion, and he nodded heavily.
“Alright, I will arrange it right away.”
…
Great Xia Border.
Shenlong Pass.
“Send Mr. Guan over?!”
Lu Qiu was surprised upon hearing his companion’s report. “Is it really necessary to involve a top-tier human powerhouse for something like this?”
“I’m puzzled too… It’s just an unmanned ship returning automatically; this seems like overkill,” his companion chuckled helplessly. “But since it’s a direct order from Commander Zuo, we just need to cooperate.”
Lu Qiu nodded. “I understand. When can we expect Mr. Guan to arrive?”
“This afternoon.”
“Alright, check all the instruments and equipment to ensure they are functioning properly. Also, even if a top-tier human powerhouse is coming, we must remain vigilant about the situation at the misty border; we cannot let our guard down.”
“Understood.”
As the two were conversing, no one noticed a silver figure quietly gliding past the office window’s reflection.
Mirror World.
The silver-robed Oracle Envoy “Mirror Disaster” walked calmly through the deserted Shenlong Pass with his hands in his pockets. He glanced at the two Night Watchmen conversing in the mirror and then shifted his gaze elsewhere.
He had no interest in what they were discussing.
Because he couldn’t understand it.
In his eyes, there was only the grand and massive steel stronghold.
Mirror Disaster roamed the entire Shenlong Pass, eventually stepping onto the steel city wall, gazing at the rolling misty border in the distance, frowning in confusion as he muttered to himself, “From a technological perspective, the communication and automation levels here are not high at all, yet the power of the firearms far exceeds that of the [Pure Land]…
Such terrifying firepower reserves, yet only a handful of people are stationed here. What exactly is this place meant to guard against?
This stronghold… what is it protecting against?”
Mirror Disaster thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with an answer. He shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside.
“However, the fact that such a heavily fortified stronghold is only manned by a few weak ants indicates that this country places greater emphasis on the use and development of firearms, while the combat effectiveness of its personnel is extremely low…
Truly… weak!”
Mirror Disaster looked down at the few Night Watchmen inside Shenlong Pass, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The threat of firearms is definitely not an issue for the [Pure Land]; after all, Oracle Envoys are not easily dealt with by guns and cannons. In fact, Mirror Disaster is confident that he alone could easily breach this stronghold from the inside and kill everyone stationed here.
A silver halo faintly lit up in his left eye.
“If the [Pure Land] is to attack this country, the first obstacle will be this steel stronghold. Since I have already infiltrated, I will find an opportunity to completely destroy it and clear the last barrier…
First, cut off the low-level communication systems, then take control of the automation permissions here. Once this place is completely sealed off, I can begin unilateral slaughter…
Information cannot be transmitted out, and no one can escape. For a short time, no one will know… that this place is already under my control.”
After scanning the entire layout of Shenlong Pass, Mirror Disaster quickly locked onto a certain building, and with a flicker of his figure, he vanished from the spot.
