If it weren’t for being unable to defeat the enemy, who would want to abandon their accumulated wealth and flee? It’s not difficult for a world with lower strength to reach the upper limit of combat power, but the higher the level of strength a world demonstrates, the harder it is to reach that limit.
It’s not to say that a world with high strength will definitely have peak combat power.
The limit is higher, but the threshold to reach that limit is not necessarily low.
Among the Proxy Agents that appeared first, those obviously belonged to the ones who had reached the upper limits of this world’s tolerance.
This isn’t surprising; Proxy Agents preserved by Dusk all possess such talent; otherwise, they wouldn’t be kept but rather annihilated by Dusk directly.
"Humph! If you want to retreat, then retreat, I choose to stay!" Inside the conference room, people here still disagreed, though the opportunity to retreat existed, as long as they passed through a Sky Pillar, they could smuggle into another world.
It’s not a complete invasion, just opening a door, and once they pass through, they close the Devouring Sky Pillar, which prevents Dusk rcenary from coming directly, even if discovered by Dusk.
As long as they don’t approach Dusk and seek death, they’ll be fine.
"Then you stay." The Devourer who considered retreating spoke very straightforwardly. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it is for them, as leaving couldn’t take too many resources.
But it’s not as if nothing can be taken along.
The one who chose to stay had his own plans; among the Devourers here, he was like a majority shareholder. So people wanted to withdraw, then the ’cake’ left after their exit would be monopolized by those who stay.
As long as they could withstand this crisis, the future looked bright.
As for this situation, it was truly bizarre; who would have known there would be Proxy Agent natives in a world?
If they had known this earlier, if there was a regret pill, they would not have chosen this broken world.
The eting ended quickly, and soon only two figures remained in the conference room, the rest were prepared to retreat.
The remaining two didn’t think of taking any opportunistic actions. There was no need.
Even if their partners retreated, they can’t take much with them, fighting amongst themselves would just waste most of their ti.
"One apiece?"
"One apiece!" The two Devourers quickly reached a consensus, unwilling to give up their operations in this world, they prepared to fight to the end, going all out.
Moreover, since they’ve chosen to stay, they similarly had confidence; having operated in this world for so many years, they, as major shareholders, controlled far more assets than average Devourers.
The resources they enjoyed were also of the highest quality.
"Strange, why is there no follow-up interception? Did they give up?" Du Gang looked towards the distant Devouring Sky Pillar, his expression sowhat puzzled; during this visit, they hadn’t encountered any new Devourers.
There were a lot of local ard forces, many of which were rcenary-like.
Lilith had invaded their communication devices, obtaining relevant information.
The people of this world didn’t know much about the Devourers but were aware of things like the Devouring Sky Pillar.
In their understanding, such things belonged to so high-tech that could enhance their environnt, making people stronger, and training more effective, etc.
Of course, there were also so banned topics online, which Lilith also uncovered.
It was just so people publicly revealing issues about the Devouring Sky Pillar online, claiming it as a demon product, and involving so alien worlds; in short, those were considered lunatic ravings.
Not many people believed them, and those who publicized these issues basically ended up missing.
So might have realized the problem with the Devouring Sky Pillar, but they also enjoyed the benefits of an enhanced environnt, stronger bodies, longer lives, plus an unknown force’s suppression and censorship of the news.
They chose to be blind and deaf.
These rcenaries ca for the Devouring Sky Pillar, their purpose here had nothing to do with their counterattack. Instead, after being hired by so people, they specifically ca to gather intelligence, acquiring certain items.
If these people weren’t bold, they would not choose to act at this ti, nor was it because this place was lightly guarded.
"Let them acquire information about the Devouring Sky Pillar, even if we clear out the Devouring Faction in this world afterward, a new Devouring Faction would blossom here, right? Kill them all!"
Du Gang waved his God Shocking Saber, a golden saber Qi crushed down from the sky, leaving a huge saber mark on the ground, with the rcenaries directly rging with the shattered earth.
Regardless of whether these people were utilized or had other reasons to appear here, it was necessary for the natives not to let them touch any information directly related to the Devouring Sky Pillar.
As for directly researching the Devouring Sky Pillar, that thing isn’t so easy to study, but to prevent any possibility, better avoid this problem altogether. It’s definite that reasoning with these rcenaries wouldn’t work, but dealing with force had no issues.
"Let’s go." Zheng Yichen didn’t say much, these rcenaries shouldn’t have appeared here.
As expected, the base near this Devouring Sky Pillar was already cleared out, and even had a self-destruct chanism waiting for them as they arrived, creating a massive explosion.
Even if Du Gang didn’t kill those rcenaries, it’s likely they wouldn’t survive, right?
