Chapter 186: Steady the hand, retreat first!

The third campaign is progressing smoothly.

Whether it's the Second Regiment attacking head-on or the First and Third Regiments flanking from the wings, they are about to capture the key fortress of the offensive.

The special forces unit deep behind enemy lines has also destroyed the 'Biochemical Factory'.

It is not a 'plague'; the biochemical modification and enhancement that lacks the ability to spread between fairies cannot be sustained once the 'Biochemical Factory' is destroyed.

The scale of the fairies' mutations will not expand endlessly.

More surviving forces will be preserved after the war.

The gains obtained, such as population resources, will also be greater.

Moreover, the special forces unit has located the Fairy King's sleeping place and made a new discovery.

Paro Sage, watching the war situation on the holographic projection, is still quite satisfied.

As long as we destroy the Fairy Royal Family's resistance forces, clear out the fairies with strong resistant will, and then slaughter the helpless Fairy King.

Then we can announce a major victory in the first stage of this Fairy World conquest war: the annihilation battle.

Actually, Paro Sage's desire to conquer the Fairy World has never been difficult.

The difficulty lies in governing after the conquest.

There are too many precedents showing that direct, high-pressure enslavement is inferior to supporting agents through appeasement.

Based on the idea of not wanting to get stuck in a quagmire of security warfare, Paro Sage never chose a direct frontal assault or a hardline conquest from the start, but instead employed a conciliatory strategy.

Sending envoys at the outset was a brilliant move.

If the Fairy King can withstand the will of the Fairy World and is willing to become a vassal, pledging allegiance to the Wizard World.

Paro Sage could also save effort and time, peacefully assist the Wizard World's will in reshaping the Fairy World's will, thereby completing this conquest mission.

If the Fairy King is unwilling or unable to submit, choosing to assassinate the envoy and actively provoke war, he likewise falls into Paro Sage's calculations.

People bustle about, profits come and go.

The interests of the Fairy King, the Fairy Royal Court, the Fairy Royal Family, other fairy clans, and the overall interests of the Fairy World all differ.

By exploiting these differences, sending out more envoys will always find dovish factions unwilling to join the war, and more easily find those willing to become collaborators for greater gain.

Agents, after all, are meant to seek these good-tempered doves and soft-boned collaborators.

Especially those nimble-footed soft-boned collaborators are easy to use.

Often, no special orders are needed; the collaborators will proactively handle things splendidly.

Saving worry, time, and effort.

With inferior strength and discordant hearts, the Fairy King's chance of winning this asymmetrical war approaches zero.

Paro Sage does not seek to win outright in one go, but rather wages several campaigns, not only to integrate the legions but also to eliminate as many fairies with strong resistant will as possible.

Thus, after the war ends, the Wizard World's appeasement policy can be implemented more smoothly.

History is always written by the victors.

When two civilizations clash, the defeated's history is erased, and the victor writes praises of itself while belittling the conquered's history.

The Wizard World need not erase the Fairy World's history; it only needs to 'correct' it a little bit.

Manage public opinion well, carry out large-scale, long-term brainwashing, and that will suffice.

The doves and collaborators will themselves use 'facts' to spread the Fairy King's wickedness among the common fairies,

propagate that this war was provoked by the Fairy King for his own selfish gain, disregarding the interests of millions of fairies,

propagate that the Wizard World's counterattack was a helpless measure,

propagate that the Fairy King's death is no loss, the royal family's downfall is justified, and the royal clan holds no interests beneficial to all fairy peoples,

propagate that the Wizard World overthrew the Fairy Royal Family mainly because the royal family's brutal exploitative rule over the Fairy World brought freedom and democracy……

propagate that the Fairy World's subordination to the Wizard World is never a bad thing, but a new beginning for a beautiful future.

This is Paro Sage's second stage of conquering the Fairy World: the thought war.

After the two wars conclude, we enter the harvest phase of strengthening appeasement and developing resources.

At that time, it will suffice to keep enough armed forces to suppress dissent; the legions can then be recalled to headquarters for training and reorganization.

Only after that does Paro Sage's formal campaign across the myriad realms begin.

This conquest of the Fairy World is merely a drill arranged by the academy to help Paro Sage adapt to the role shift from a main regiment commander to a legion commander.

Paro Sage adapted quickly and effectively.

After several operations, the legion has taken on Paro Sage's form.

Meanwhile, the Fairy King is in the forest.

While Paro Sage observed the battlefield situation on the holographic projection, Lin Ke and Asande had already raced all the way to the outskirts of the Fairy King's sleeping place and met up with Boss Outes and his group.

What's the situation?

Having just arrived at the high ground where Boss Outes and his group were stationed, Lin Ke couldn't help but feel doubtful upon seeing what was happening not far below.

Unexpectedly, two factions of fairies have erupted in internal conflict, attacking each other without cease.

The battle scene is extremely intense.

Both sides held nothing back, fighting with real fury, suffering heavy casualties, corpses strewn everywhere, blood flowing across the ground.

Lin Ke looked closely and saw that the larger group consisted of normal fairies, while the smaller, uglier-looking group were mildly mutated fairies.

The mildly mutated fairies' combat strength is noticeably superior, pressing down on the normal fairies.

If this continues, victory will surely belong to the group of mildly mutated fairies.

"Boss, what's going on here?"

Asande, without Lin Ke's hesitation, directly asked over the team channel.

Boss Outes knew Asande was asking on behalf of the rookie Lin Ke, wasn't annoyed, and instead gave an explanation:

When we arrived, they were already infighting.

Translation: "When we arrived, they were already fighting among themselves."

Note: 'internal conflict' means infighting. So 'they were already infighting.' We'll keep it concise: 'When we arrived, they were already infighting.'

We captured two prisoners, and under the heart-confusion technique we learned the full story.

Translation: "We captured two tongues, and under the heart-confusion technique, learned the full story."

Note: The word literally means 'tongues', but it is slang for captives used for interrogation; thus we captured two prisoners.

Note: The phrase means 'under the heart-confusion technique'; thus 'Under the heart-confusion technique, we learned the full story.'

Combine: "We captured two prisoners, and under the heart-confusion technique, learned the full story."

Having survived a biochemical enhancement and strengthening process with an extremely high failure rate, these fairies call themselves the 'new generation'; for unknown reasons, their dispositions have gradually changed, and they increasingly look down on normal fairies.

Translation: "Having survived the bio-modification and enhancement process, which has an extremely high failure rate, the fairies call themselves the 'new generation'; for unknown reasons, their dispositions have gradually changed, and they increasingly look down on normal fairies."

We need to keep concise. Let's try: "The fairies who survived the extremely high‑failure‑rate bio‑modification and enhancement call themselves the 'new generation'; for unknown reasons, their dispositions have gradually shifted, and they increasingly look down on normal fairies."

The two fairy factions began with a verbal dispute, their conflict escalated, and eventually they were hacking at each other.

Translation: "The two fairy factions started with verbal sparring, their conflict escalating until they ended up hacking at each other."

We'll do: "The two fairy factions began with verbal sparring, their conflict escalating until they ended up hacking at each other."

The second prince of the fairy royal family failed to quell a revolt and was instead seriously wounded by an assassination from a fairy noble.

Translation: "The fairy royal family's second prince failed to suppress the rebellion and was instead seriously wounded by an assassinated fairy noble."

Better: "The fairy royal family's second prince failed to quell the revolt and was instead seriously wounded by a fairy noble's assassination."

We'll do: "The fairy royal family's second prince failed to suppress the revolt and was instead seriously wounded by a fairy noble's assassination."

The situation spiraled out of control, developing into what we see now.

Translation: "The situation spiraled out of control, developing into what we see now."

Linck also knew that Asande was asking on his behalf, and he gave Asande a grateful glance to express his thanks.

Translation: "Lin Ke also knew Asande was asking on his behalf, and he glanced at Asande with slight gratitude to express his thanks."

We need to keep concise: "Lin Ke also knew Asande was asking for him, and he gave Asande a grateful glance to express his thanks."

Hmph!

Translation: "Hmph!"

Luoken suddenly spoke up, his tone very displeased.

Translation: "Luoken suddenly spoke up, his tone very displeased."

Those two prisoners were the ones he captured.

Translation: "Those two prisoners were the ones he captured."

After Outisi, the boss, used the heart-confusion technique, the interrogation was also conducted by Luoken.

Translation: "After Outisi, the boss, used the heart-confusion technique, the interrogation was also conducted by Luoken."

After Outisi, the boss, used the heart-confusion technique, the interrogation was also conducted by Luoken.

In short, this information was painstakingly obtained by Luoken, yet Linck learned it for free.

Translation: "In short, this information was hard‑won by Luoken, yet Lin Ke learned it for free."

This made Luoken feel somewhat displeased.

Translation: "This made Luoken feel somewhat displeased."

Very displeased.

Translation: "Very displeased."

Outisi, the boss, ignored Luoken's displeasure, gestured for Linck to lie down, indicating the two fairies—one normal, one enhanced—and said, 'Linck, research this and see if you can find the cause of the enhanced fairy's change in disposition.'

Outisi, the boss, ignored Luoken's displeasure, gestured for Linck to lie down, indicating the two fairies—one normal, one enhanced—and said, 'Linck, research this and see if you can find the cause of the enhanced fairy's change in disposition.'

We need to keep the inner quotes? The Chinese uses 「」 for outer speech, and inside also 「」 for quoted speech. We'll need to preserve the structure? The instruction: translate faithfully, never skip, summarise, or merge paragraphs. Keep each line as a single output line. We should preserve the quoted speech as quotes in English. Use double quotes for outer speech? Usually we can use double quotes for the outer and single for inner, but we need to keep the meaning. We'll translate as: "Outisi, the boss, paid no heed to Wizard Luoken's displeasure, gestured to Lin Ke at the two fairies lying on the ground—one normal, one enhanced—and said, 'Lin Ke, study them and see if you can find the cause of the enhanced fairies' change in disposition.'"

We need to keep the colon? We'll just use quotes.

Thus: "Outisi, the boss, paid no heed to Wizard Luoken's displeasure, gestured to Lin Ke at the two fairies lying on the ground—one normal, one enhanced—and said, 'Lin Ke, study them and see if you can find the cause of the enhanced fairies' change in disposition.'"

Yes.

Translation: "Yes."

Linck readily accepted the task.

Translation: "Lin Ke readily accepted the task."

He first used wood-element magic techniques to build a simple dissection table and placed the enhanced fairy on it.

Translation: "He first used wood-system witchcraft techniques to set up a simple dissection table, placing the enhanced fairy upon it."

He then took off his backpack, retrieved dissection and biochemical testing equipment, and conducted a comprehensive examination of the enhanced fairy.

Translation: "He then took off his backpack, produced dissection and bio‑analysis equipment, and conducted a comprehensive examination of the enhanced fairy."

Which of the wizards present has never performed a dissection?

Translation: "Which of the wizards present has never performed a dissection?"

They have no interest in the somewhat bloody and cruel dissection process.

Translation: "They had no interest in the somewhat bloody and gruesome dissection process."

They are merely slightly curious about the examination results.

Translation: "They were merely slightly curious about the examination results."

The reason they waited for Linck to arrive before starting the examination is not that they forgot the relevant knowledge and skills, but because specialization dictates that each has their own expertise.

Translation: "The reason they waited for Lin Ke to arrive before starting the examination was not that they had forgotten the relevant knowledge and skills, but that specialization dictates expertise."

Their examination results are not necessarily as accurate as Linck's.

Translation: "Their examination results might not be as accurate as Lin Ke's."

Linck's movements were swift; in under twenty minutes he completed the examination and testing of the enhanced fairy, identifying two highly probable causes.

Translation: "Lin Ke's movements were swift; in under twenty minutes he completed the examination and testing of the enhanced fairy, identifying two likely causes."

After careful consideration, Linck reported:

Translation: "After careful consideration, Lin Ke reported:"

Captain, the fairies' enhancement is incomplete; during the enhancement process they excessively consumed vitality, which has already affected their will.

Translation: "Captain, the fairies' enhancement is incomplete; during the process they over‑consumed vitality, which has already affected their will."

What manifests is that their intellect remains intact, but their emotions have changed, amplifying a dark side—for example, becoming more cold, arrogant, or selfish.

Translation: "This manifests as unchanged intellect but altered emotions, amplifying a dark side—such as becoming more cold‑hearted, arrogant, or selfish."

Furthermore, I have sensed a special energy field nearby that strongly affects the enhanced fairies, seemingly stimulating their killing intent.

Translation: "Moreover, I have sensed a special aura fluctuation nearby that strongly affects the enhanced fairies, seemingly triggering their killing intent."

After a pause, Linck uncertainly offered a guess: 'The source of that special energy field could be the sleeping fairy king.'

Translation: "After a pause, Lin Ke gave an uncertain guess: 'The source of that special aura fluctuation could be the slumbering fairy king.'"

Hmm.

Translation: "Hmm."

Outisi, the boss, acknowledged with a sound, turned to Asande, and asked, 'Do you sense it too? What do you think of Linck's hypothesis—is it valid?'

Translation: "Outisi, the boss, acknowledged with a sound, turned to Asande, and asked, 'Have you sensed it too? What do you think of Lin Ke's hypothesis—does it hold?'"

Asande carefully sensed, then nodded and said, 'I agree with Linck's hypothesis. Furthermore, I believe this might be a ritual: the Abyssal demon often recovers from wounds through slaughter, and the fairy king has made deals with the Abyssal demon, possibly gaining such means.'

Translation: "Asande carefully sensed, nodded, and said, 'I agree with Lin Ke's guess. Furthermore, I believe this might be a ritual. Abyssal demons often recover from injury through slaughter, and the fairy king, having dealt with such demons, could possess this means.'"

Report this situation to headquarters and request instructions for the next steps.

Translation: "Report this situation to headquarters and request instructions for the next steps."

Outisi, the boss, made arrangements.

Translation: "Outisi, the boss, made the arrangements."

Asande immediately closed his eyes, adjusted his mind and body, entered ultra-long-distance communication mode, and, using the unique method of a true spirit wizard, contacted the frontline command.

Translation: "Asande immediately closed his eyes, adjusted his mind‑body state, entered ultra‑long‑range communication mode, and, using a method unique to true‑spirit wizards, contacted the frontline headquarters."

Soon after, Asande finished his report and received a reply.

Translation: "Not long after, Asande finished his report and received a reply."

He opened his eyes and said, 'The frontline command asks whether our squad is capable of eliminating the fairy king. If so, we should carry out a decapitation strike; if conditions do not allow, we should first interrupt the ritual and await reinforcements.' Outisi, the boss, thought for a moment and decided to play it safe: 'Reply to the frontline command that we will prioritize interrupting the ritual, with decapitation as a secondary option, and request reinforcements as a reserve.'

Let's break: "He opened his eyes and said, 'The frontline headquarters asks whether our squad is capable of eliminating the fairy king. If so, we will carry out a decapitation strike; if conditions do not allow, we will first interrupt the ritual and await reinforcements.' Outisi, the boss, thought seriously for a moment, decided to play it safe: 'Reply to the frontline headquarters: we will mainly interrupt the ritual, with decapitation as a supplement, and request reinforcements as a reserve.'"

We need to keep quotes.

Thus: "He opened his eyes and said, 'The frontline headquarters asks whether our squad is capable of eliminating the fairy king. If so, we will carry out a decapitation strike; if conditions do not allow, we will first interrupt the ritual and await reinforcements.' Outisi, the boss, thought seriously for a moment, decided to play it safe: 'Reply to the frontline headquarters: we will mainly interrupt the ritual, with decapitation as a supplement, and request reinforcements as a reserve.'"

Yes.

Translation: "Yes."

Asande acknowledged, then closed his eyes again and made ultra-long-distance contact with the frontline command.

Translation: "Asande acknowledged with a sound, closed his eyes again, and made ultra‑long‑range contact with the frontline headquarters."

Approval for the operation came quickly, and support was dispatched—specifically, another level-three wizard from the Intelligence Department leading the team.

Translation: "Approval for the operation came quickly, and support was already dispatched—specifically, another third‑rank wizard from the Intelligence Department leading the team."

The special forces team checked each member's condition and equipment, confirmed everything was in order, and began the operation.

Translation: "The special forces team checked their own condition and equipment, confirmed everything was in order, and began the operation."

The opening move remained Linck's highly familiar stealth infiltration.

Translation: "The opening move remained Lin Ke's very familiar stealth infiltration."

This tactic, no matter the world, can be called the most favored strategy.

Translation: "This move, no matter the world, can be called the most popular tactic."

While waiting to rendezvous, Outisi, the boss, brought Luoken, 'Black Cat' Beidi, and the twins Angkes and Ma Ke; they not only captured two prisoners for interrogation.

Translation: "While waiting to rendezvous, Outisi, the boss, brought Luoken, 'Black Cat' Beidi, and the twins Angkes and Ma Ke; they not only captured two prisoners for interrogation."

Outisi, the boss, brought Luoken, 'Black Cat' Beidi, and the twins Angkes and Ma Ke; they not only captured two prisoners for interrogation.

We will keep single quotes around Black Cat: 'Black Cat' Beidi.

Thus: "Outisi, the boss, brought Luoken, 'Black Cat' Beidi, and the twins Angkes and Ma Ke; they not only captured two prisoners for interrogation."

They also ascertained the terrain and topography of the fairy king's sleeping place.

Translation: "They also ascertained the terrain and topography of the fairy king's sleeping place."

The special forces team detoured around the fiercely fighting fairy factions and swiftly infiltrated the labyrinthine structure deep underground.

Translation: "The special forces team detoured around the fiercely battling fairy factions and swiftly infiltrated the underground labyrinthine structure."

A person's nickname does not come out of nowhere.

Translation: "A person's nickname is not earned for nothing."

'Black Cat' Beidi earned that nickname because she has cat-like eyes, cat-like agility, and cat-like intuition.

Translation: "'Black Cat' Beidi earned that nickname because she has cat‑like eyes, cat‑like agility, and cat‑like intuition."

We will use single quotes for the nickname: 'Black Cat' Beidi.

Thus: "'Black Cat' Beidi earned that nickname because she has cat‑like eyes, cat‑like agility, and cat‑like intuition."

No mechanism or trap in the underground labyrinth can escape her eyes; they are all found out one by one.

Probably a typo: the word likely meant 'escape'. We'll translate: 'No mechanism or trap in the underground labyrinth can escape her eyes; they are all found out one by one.'

Thus: "No mechanism or trap in the underground labyrinth can escape her eyes; they are all found out one by one."

Either ignore them, destroy them, or go around them.

Translation: "They are either ignored, destroyed, or bypassed."

To the fairies of the fairy world, the labyrinth's layers of highly concealed and highly lethal traps are meaningless before the seven wizards of the special forces team.

Translation: "To the fairies of the fairy world, the multi‑layered labyrinth's mechanisms and traps, which are extremely concealed and highly lethal, are nothing but useless before the seven wizards of the special forces team."

The special forces team, moving at great speed, went from the topmost layer of the underground labyrinth down to the bottommost layer.

Translation: "The special forces team, moving at extreme speed, entered from the topmost layer of the underground labyrinth down to the lowest layer."

Based on his sensations along the way, Linck realized that the underground labyrinth has the shape of an inverted pyramid.

Translation: "Based on his feelings along the way, Lin Ke sensed that the underground labyrinth presents as an inverted‑pyramid structure."

The bottom layer is also the narrowest.

Translation: "The lowest layer is also the narrowest."

This layer contains only a single spacious hall, with no other rooms.

Translation: "This layer contains only a single spacious hall, with no other rooms."

The hall's vaulted ceiling, four walls, and floor are all engraved with strange patterns.

Translation: "The hall's vaulted ceiling, four walls, and floor are all engraved with strange patterns."

Threads of greenish blood energy, after being absorbed, transformed, and purified by the several layers above the inverted-pyramid labyrinth, become a slightly anomalous life force that merges into those strange patterns and converges toward the stone platform at the hall's center.

Translation: "Threads of jade‑green blood energy, after being absorbed, transformed, and purified by the several layers above the inverted‑pyramid labyrinth, turn into a slightly anomalous life force that merges into those strange patterns and converges toward the stone platform at the hall's center."

Upon the stone platform lies the fairy king, missing one arm, with half of his upper body swollen, and in a deep sleep.

Translation: "Upon the stone platform lay the fairy king, missing one arm, with half his upper body swollen, and in a deep slumber."

Indeed, Asande's speculation was correct.

The Fairy King was truly using the evil ritual obtained from the Abyssal Demon, attempting to heal his injuries.

However, this ritual seemed to have gone wrong; it did not restore the Fairy King's injury, but instead was transforming his life form.

Lin Ke, upon first seeing the Fairy King, intuitively felt that the Fairy King's state at this moment was very similar to that of the Insect Deity.

Caught between life and death, seeming alive yet dead, seeming dead yet alive.

Body and soul are already in different states.

A fourth-rank supernatural life after all underwent a second leap in life essence.

Even though heavily injured and dying, the Fairy King was not completely unaware of imminent danger.

When the Special Forces Team stepped into the hall, the originally sleeping Fairy King suddenly opened his eyes.

The Fairy King first glanced at the seven members of the Special Forces Team, then immediately locked his gaze onto Otis Boss, the source of the strongest threat.

Along with vaguely guarding against the Luo Ken Mage, who was somewhat hard to see through.

Hazy blood light shot from the Fairy King's eyes, and his body also exuded the aura of a fourth-rank powerhouse.

Otis Boss showed no fear, directly met the Fairy King's gaze, withstood the Fairy King's pressure, letting no teammates behind be affected, and then issued orders in succession:

"Bei Di, scout the surroundings, monitor for abnormalities."

"Asangde and Lin Ke, guard the entrance, cut off the fairies' support, depending on the situation, support the battle at any time."

"Angkes, Make, cover these patterns with firepower, destroy the ritual."

"Luo Ken and I together, find the right moment to attack, focusing on destroying the stone platform, with attacking the Fairy King as secondary."

Everyone immediately followed the orders.

"Black Cat" Bei Di, Asangde, and Lin Ke quickly retreated a few steps, leaving the hall.

One person controlled numerous biomimetic hummingbirds, monitoring the entire inverted pyramid underground labyrinth.

Two people guarded the hall entrance, one side monitoring the reconnaissance feed to guard against reinforcements, the other side preparing to support the hall battle at any time.

Lin Ke actually had noticed an abnormality in the Fairy King.

The Fairy King's eye color changed from the emerald green of the fairy clan to deep blue.

His pupils had completely become vortex-shaped.

This abnormality certainly has a cause.

But under the current circumstances, it's unsuitable to do much research, unsuitable to rashly propose it, and it distracts the hearts of the four main combat teammates.

Lin Ke could only note it himself first, secretly pondering.

The twin brothers Angkes and Make took the lead in acting.

The means were crude, the goal clear.

Both brothers used the relatively powerful first-ring fire magic exploding fireball as their innate magic.

They directly started with their innate magic.

In the blink of an eye, they poured out over a dozen orange fireballs the size of a human head, smashing toward the dome, surrounding walls, and floor, attempting to destroy those strange patterns.

Otis Boss and Luo Ken focused, ready to strike at any time, to interrupt the Fairy King's obstruction.

However, the Fairy King, aside from opening his eyes, showed no movement whatsoever.

Boom—boom, the explosion sounds continued.

Fire waves surged, sparks flew, the hall shook violently.

Dome and surrounding walls large chunks of brick and stone shattered and fell, the floor exploded into big deep pits.

The strange patterns inside the hall were almost completely destroyed in an instant.

The emerald blood aura almost completely evaporated.

Only the stone platform where the Fairy King lay was shielded by an intangible intangible shield, unaffected by the explosion.

"Wrong!"

Asangde's eyes flashed a trace of blood-red light, he exclaimed, "This is an illusion, not a real place! Possibly a trap!"

As a True Spirit Mage, Asangde, in the soul perception field, was more keen than third-rank mage Otis Boss.

He only realized when the exploding fireball caused damage to the illusion.

From Otis Boss downward, including Lin Ke whose perception had been steadily increasing after cultivation, all team members still had not noticed the abnormality.

Of course choose to believe Asangde!

"Retreat!"

Otis Boss decisively issued the order.

Possibly a trap, situation unclear, cannot act rashly.

First retreat to a safe point, wait for support, then talk about other things.

Anyway the ritual has been mostly destroyed.

If really not possible, then start from outside, drive away the two groups of fairies.

The Special Forces Team quickly retreated from the lowest layer, retreated to the upper layer of the inverted pyramid, wanting to quickly rush out of the underground labyrinth.

During the retreat, unexpectedly encountered no obstruction.

Not only did the awakened Fairy King not obstruct, but the two groups of fairies that should have sensed the movement at the bottom layer also did not obstruct.

This situation is very suspicious, very unreasonable.

Lin Ke couldn't help but recall the Fairy King's pair of deep blue eyes, and the vortex-shaped pupils.

The more he thought, the more he felt something fishy.

"Multithreaded thinking", activate!

Without hesitation, Lin Ke took out his strongest state, transformed into a humanoid supercomputer equipped with top-level AI.

Using the Brain Seal Technique and memory palace, quickly retrieve memory.

After the meeting, one scene after another flashed quickly in Lin Ke's mind.

Soon he noticed the thread of blood light that flashed in his eyes before Asande spoke a warning.

Recalling everyone in the special forces team, including Otis's first reaction after hearing Asande's warning, was to retreat.

Without even trying, they retreated directly!

Does this make sense?

Does this fit the identity of Otis, a third-level wizard?

Does this fit Luo Ken's personality and style?

"Wrong!"

Lin Ke felt he had pierced a layer of film shrouding his will, suddenly awakened, and immediately shouted loudly,

"We've been tricked! Hurry back!"

"The Fairy King is going to escape!"

Thanks for the votes, bosses!
