Chapter 772: Lurking Mirror Disaster
"Mr. Guan?" Chen Moyu heard this name and was slightly stunned. "Commander Zuo, for something this trivial, summoning a Human Apex-level expert—isn't that a bit excessive?"
"Trivial?" Zuo Qing shook his head. "Moyu, you should be very clear about Great Xia's current situation. The god-kingdoms within the mist have already begun moving against Great Xia. Large-scale enticement driving powerful 'mysteries' from outside the borders to invade Great Xia's borders—that's only their first step. They want to wear down Great Xia's combat strength through this, and even use large-scale chaos to prematurely probe the depths of Great Xia's gods…
The god war is something we cannot intervene in, but protecting Great Xia's citizens and territory from violation is our supreme mission.
Sunken Dragon Pass is one of the twelve A-level war passes. Although these war passes haven't been fully completed yet, the 【War Mode】 hasn't been officially activated, and only a small contingent is stationed there—they still fulfill the duty of monitoring and guarding Great Xia's borders.
Half a year ago, the first disaster-level 'mystery' beast tide attack already sounded the alarm for us. The day before yesterday, the Oath Society brought intelligence that there seemed to be a second disaster-level beast tide brewing within the mist…
This period is too sensitive. We cannot let any一丝 potential danger slip through."
Chen Moyu nodded. "I understand. I'll go invite Mr. Guan right away."
Just as Chen Moyu was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and walked back.
"Commander Zuo, according to the high command's proposal, after entering war-ready status, this round of Night Watch recruit recruitment will be three times the usual number. The personnel list is now out—please take a look."
Chen Moyu took a document from his chest and handed it to Zuo Qing.
Zuo Qing took the document and carefully flipped through it. After a moment, he nodded.
"Mm, nothing wrong with it. Have the training ground and instructors been arranged?"
"The training ground issues have all been resolved, but the problem lies with the instructors." Chen Moyu said helplessly. "Because the recruit number increased so much, if we continue to have the original fixed instructor team guide them, there will be a significant shortfall. With fewer instructors, they won't be able to train the recruits properly. And this batch of recruits has quite a few troublemakers—the deterrent force might be insufficient…
But right now we're in war-ready status. Night Watch units across the country are stretched thin, so we can't massively transfer active Night Watch members to take on instructor duties."
Zuo Qing contemplated for a long while, then nodded slightly.
"I understand… Here's what we'll do. Send a transfer order to the 【Mask Squad】 and have them temporarily serve as special invited instructors for the new recruit training camp. During their off-duty hours, let them help those instructors train the new recruits.
Having a special squad stationed there is far more efficient than simply adding more instructors, and it can also set a good example for these recruits."
"The 【Mask Squad】?" Chen Moyu was stunned. "Commander Zuo, the 【Mask Squad】 has their hands full these days—holding down Jialin Pass and purging 'mysteries'—their schedule is already packed. They might not have time to serve as special instructors?"
"Jialin Pass, I can personally hold down." Zuo Qing slowly rose from his seat. "It's just working from a different location. Nothing major. Relatively speaking, the future of the Night Watch is more important."
When Chen Moyu heard these words, a sense of emotion appeared in his eyes. He nodded heavily.
"Alright, I'll arrange it right away."
…
Great Xia Border.
Sunken Dragon Pass.
"Sending Mr. Guan over?!"
When Lu Qiu heard his companion's report, he exclaimed in surprise. "For something like this, does it really require summoning a Human Apex personally?"
"I'm puzzled too… It's just an auto-returning unmanned boat. This is quite the overreaction, isn't it?" The companion beside him smiled helplessly. "But this is an order directly from Commander Zuo. We just need to cooperate."
Lu Qiu nodded. "Understood. When will Mr. Guan arrive?"
"This afternoon."
"Right. Go check once more that all instruments and equipment are functioning normally. And even though a Human Apex is coming personally, we must remain vigilant about the mist border situation. No slacking."
"Got it."
While the two were conversing, no one noticed a silver figure quietly drifting past the window's reflection in the office.
Mirror World.
The silver-robed oracle envoy "Mirror Disaster" stood with hands in pockets, calmly walking through the deserted Sunken Dragon Pass. He glanced at the two Night Watch members conversing in the mirror, then looked away, his gaze falling elsewhere.
He had no interest in what these two were saying.
Because he couldn't understand them.
Now, only this grand steel fortress of a pass filled his vision.
Mirror Disaster walked through the entire Sunken Dragon Pass, finally stepping onto the steel fortress wall. Gazing at the rolling mist border in the distance, he frowned and muttered in confusion, "From a technological perspective, neither the communications nor the automation and intelligence levels here are particularly high, but the firepower's destructive power far exceeds the standard of 【Pure Land】…
Such terrifying firepower reserves, yet only a few people manning this place—what exactly is this for?
What is this pass… guarding against?"
Mirror Disaster thought for a long time but couldn't find an answer. He shook his head and pushed these thoughts aside.
"However, such a heavily guarded important pass, yet only a few weak ants stationed here—this shows that this nation places greater emphasis on thermal weapons and their development and utilization, while the combat capability of their personnel is extremely low…
How… weak!"
Mirror Disaster looked down at the few Night Watch members inside Sunken Dragon Pass, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
The threat of thermal weapons posed no problem for 【Pure Land】. After all, oracles were not something easily solved by guns and cannons. Mirror Disaster was even confident that right now, with just himself alone, he could easily breach this pass from within and kill everyone stationed here.
In his left eye, a silver ring of light flickered faintly.
"If 【Pure Land】 decides to attack this nation, this steel fortress will be the barrier standing right in front. Since I've already snuck in, I'll find an opportunity to completely destroy this place and clear the final obstacle…
First, cut off the low-level communication systems, then take control of the automation permissions here, and completely seal off this place—then the one-sided slaughter can begin…
Information can't be sent out, and people can't escape. No one will know in the short term… that this place has already fallen into my grasp."
After scanning the layout of the entire Sunken Dragon Pass, Mirror Disaster quickly locked onto a certain building. His figure flickered and he vanished from where he stood.
