"Quiet!
Everyone, be quiet! "
Receiving the reward was naturally a joyous event, so the entire conference room was filled with laughter.
If someone entered the conference room at this moment, they would never have imagined that just a few minutes ago, the people in the conference room were arguing as if they had killed their parents. They almost started fighting.
When the conference room finally quieted down, Lilith and Yao Guang put on serious expressions at the same time. Their voices were so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of them.
"I have two very important things to discuss with everyone!"
Yaoguang looked around. Every swordsman who met Yaoguang's gaze felt a chill run down their spine.
Finally, Yaoguang's gaze stopped on Liunian Ling. "Miss Ling, please tell us what happened to you. Tell us why you couldn't make it to the battlefield as planned, and why the battle on the Sun was so tragic!"
Hearing Yaoguang mention the battle on the Sun, Lilith couldn't help but clench her fists.
More than half of her seven thousand subordinates were gone … If Liunian Ling and the others had made it to the battlefield before eight o'clock in the morning, at least five thousand of her subordinates would have survived.
The swordsmen with Famous Swords had suffered heavy casualties during the sneak attack, so there weren't enough Famous Swords to fend off the attacks of the Heaven and Grand Sorcerers of the Wu people. As a result, the Ancient Sword level swordsmen lost their protection, resulting in a large number of casualties.
If the sixty or so Famous Sword level swordsmen had made it to the battlefield in time, the battle would not have been so tragic.
The key to the problem was that Liunian Ling and the others were late. Lilith, Yaoguang, and the other higher-ups had already heard about what had happened from Andreevich and Liunian Ling. It was just that some of the other Famous Sword level swordsmen didn't know about it.
Therefore, Liunian Ling told them what had happened on her star shuttle. Yaoguang also asked Guhan to tell them about what had happened on his star shuttle, as well as how Guhan had met up with Liunian Ling's team.
The last part was Andreevich's narration. The Romanov Family, which was known for its wildness, actually had a meticulous successor. The moment the Romanov Family boarded the star shuttle, he had noticed something wrong with the pilot. Taking advantage of the fact that the star force in the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation had not completely suppressed his sword element, he had killed the pilot and found out that the pilot had been controlled by the Shebi Corpse Tribe.
Unfortunately, because he couldn't contact the other Star Shuttles, Andreevich could only drive the Star Shuttle to his destination on the Azure Dragon Planet. He couldn't contact the other three Star Shuttles.
"Things are already very clear. The Sorcerer Tribe killed the pilot we sent to pick them up and then took control of my Star Shuttle. They want to let these sword bearers kill them easily before the flag planting ceremony is held.
Fortunately, Miss Ling and Guhan were among them. That's why our comrades could survive! "Yaoguang concluded.
"There's no doubt that this is a very smart plan. If this plan had succeeded, our Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation would have been broken, and no one would be sitting here and having a meeting with me."
Yaoguang paused. "However, there's one thing I don't understand. How did Wu people know when our reinforcements would arrive?
Only the higher-ups like us know about this. Those ancient sword bearers don't even know about this. How did Wu people know? "
"I might be able to figure it out!"
One of the sword bearers suddenly stood up. His face was filled with grief and anger. "It was Li Su. His Swordlady's shield was broken, and it couldn't return to the sword. Just wait and see when it was broken by Wu people."
"Nan Li Su rushed out of the command area and into the battle area. He wanted to force his Swordlady to return to the sword by touching the sword hilt.
"Li Su was very brave. He charged through countless obstacles from the Shamans, and in the end, he successfully made his Sword Maiden return to her sword and threw her back to the command center … But Li Su was caught by two Shamans. They broke his legs and his arms, then dragged him to the back and disappeared."
"We thought that Li Su would be tortured to death, but now that I think about it, I vaguely saw the She Bi Corpse Tribe's Grand Magus Chief Elect!
She must have used a spell to control Li Su's brain and obtained information about Miss Ling and the others from his memory! "
Nan Li Su was the guardian of one of the main planets under the Sun Star, Zi Wei Imperial Star. He was one of the higher-ups in Shanhai Pass, so he knew about the reinforcements.
The She Bi Corpse Tribe was good at manipulating people's memories and bodies. They could even extract human souls.
Nan Li Su had sacrificed himself to save his Swordlady, but he didn't expect that he would be captured by the She Bi Corpse Tribe's Grand Magus Chief Elect.
It was not hard to imagine how much the Chief Elect had tortured Nan Li Su in order to extract his memories in order to obtain the secrets in his mind.
"I didn't expect it to be because of Li Su …" Lilith's eyes were filled with tears. "I've always told him not to fall in love with his Swordlady.
Don't have feelings for his Sword Lady. His Sword Lady doesn't love him … but he … "
Lilith's sad words seemed to reveal a lot of interesting things.
Of course, that was not the main point. The main point was that the source of the Sorcerer Tribe's information was clear. They had obtained information about Fleeting Time Ling and the others through Nan Li Su's memories … At least that was how it seemed.
"No!
It's not enough to know this information. The most important thing for Wu people is to control the old drivers that we sent to pick up Miss Ling and the others. This is the most important point. Otherwise, Wu people's plan would not have succeeded! "
Yaoguang's voice was very penetrating. "Lilith, those four drivers were all assigned by you, right?"
"Yaoguang, what do you mean?
Are you suspecting me? "Lilith's voice began to sharpen.
"Of course I wouldn't suspect you. If something happened to you, you only needed to destroy the Sun Emperor. Wu people didn't have to go through so much trouble!" Yaoguang's words eased Lilith's expression. No one would like to be suspected.
"I just want to know how Lilith chose the drivers, and who knows about them … More importantly, when did the Shebi Corpse Wu people take control of the drivers' bodies?" Yaoguang's words gradually hit the key point of the problem.
"I didn't deliberately choose the drivers … When I was about to send the drivers to pick up Miss Ling, there were only these four people waiting in the driver's lounge of the star shuttle's control panel. I didn't even think about it before I sent them to pick her up." Lilith said while holding her forehead in distress.
"The number of drivers in the Sun Star and the Moon Star is fixed. According to the rules, there must be more than ten drivers on standby in the driver's lounge at all times, waiting to help the retreating sword bearers.
But when Lilith went, there were only four people in there. Don't you think it's strange? "Yaoguang said.
"I asked those four people, and they said that the other drivers had already been sent by Hong Yu and Magic Pen to pick up some of the sword-bearers who had retreated from the North Star, so there were only four of them left in the lounge. I didn't think too much about it …" Apparently, she had already discovered that a large part of the reason for this was his own carelessness.
"Miss Hongyu, comrade Magic Pen, did you arrange for the drivers to pick them up?" Yaoguang turned to the two of them and asked.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Hongyu and Magic Pen nodded at the same time, but immediately shook their heads. "But not this morning. I have already arranged for the drivers to pick them up at about 5: 30 am yesterday. At about 5: 30 am, the retreating sword bearers had already been picked up, so there should be ten people in the driver's lounge at 8 am!"
"Lilith, please check the surveillance video of the driver's lounge. I want to see what happened to those drivers!"
Although Lilith was a little reluctant to be commanded by Yaoguang like this, in order to find out the truth of the matter, Lilith obediently played the video.
The video started at three o 'clock in the morning. There were ten drivers sitting in the driver's lounge, playing with their personal terminals in boredom.
At about 5 am, the terminal communication in the driver's lounge rang. After receiving the communication, six drivers immediately got up and left the driver's lounge, leaving only four drivers sitting in the lounge.
The video paused here. Yaoguang immediately asked Guhan and others to identify whether the drivers who picked them up were these four drivers.
But the result was unexpected. After careful confirmation by Guhan and Liunian Ling, they told Yaoguang that the people who picked them up were not among these four drivers, but someone else.
So the video continued to play. When it was 6 am, the door of the driver's lounge was pushed open again, and the drivers who had left before returned.
But when they left, there were six people, and now there were only four people left.
Then the four drivers who stayed in the room asked the four people who came back where the other two people went.
The four drivers said very painfully that the other two people were killed by Wu people when the star shuttle landed. They could not come back.
So the driver's lounge was suddenly filled with sadness.
The remaining eight drivers hugged each other to comfort each other.
At this time, the terminal communication in the driver's lounge rang again.
It seemed that the four drivers were going to go on a mission.
Because the four people who came back before had already gone on a mission, the four drivers who had rested before should naturally go on a mission.
It was a pity that the four drivers never came back after they went out. At 7: 30 am, Lilith walked to the driver's lounge and began to issue the task of picking up Guhan and others to the four drivers waiting here.
The video paused here again, but there was no need for Guhan and others to identify carefully, because Guhan immediately recognized the driver named Lu Yuanjie. He was among the four drivers waiting in the driver's lounge.
After that, Liunian Ling and Andreevich also confirmed that their drivers were among them.
"Basically, we can get to the bottom of it!
I believe that before three o'clock, the ten drivers in the driver's lounge were normal humans. However, during that mission, these drivers were ambushed by the Wu people and their brains were controlled by the Wu people of the Shebi Zombie Tribe. Then, they returned to the Sun on the star shuttle. "
"Because returning on the star shuttle can avoid the scanning of many Wu people's scanners outside the battlefield, these drivers controlled by the Wu people could not be found out!" Yaoguang said.
"No!
No, we have considered this situation before, so we also set up the Wu people's scanners at the exit of the console. These drivers have to go through these scanners when they leave the console to return to the driver's lounge. How did they manage to deceive everyone? "
"There is only one possibility!" Yaoguang closed his eyes. "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say this.
We have a spy from the Wu people among us. He turned off the scanners at the console at the critical moment! "
"Whoosh!"
Hearing this, all the sword bearers stood up at the same time. If these words did not come out of Yao Guang's mouth, they would never believe that there was a spy from the Wu people among the humans!
