323: Night Watch Meeting!
Seeing Loki walk into the temple, Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan bowed in his direction.
"Lord Loki, we have completed the task you assigned, but that God's Proxy tribe was too weak and did not form the prototype of an Origin of a God Kingdom."
"Hmm!" Loki merely responded indifferently, making no move.
This made Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan very curious, as he had often punished them in the past when tasks were not completed.
But today, Loki seemed indifferent to their performance. Could it be that the God of Mischief had changed his ways?
Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan did not know that Odin had already made a promise to Loki.
Although Loki was Odin's confidant, Odin had always been wary of the God of Mischief, maintaining a constant vigilance against him.
Therefore, Odin never allowed Loki to enter the World Tree to approach Asgard's Origin of a God Kingdom.
Loki had no choice. To achieve his ambition of becoming a Supreme God, he set his sights on the small God's Proxy tribes in the mists.
He hoped to collect some prototypes of the Origin of a God Kingdom from these tribes.
If he had any other option, Loki would not have done this, because he knew very well that the probability of these God's Proxy tribes producing an Origin prototype was very slim.
But now that Odin had agreed to let him use the Origin of a God Kingdom to Breakthrough to Supreme God, his worries were completely gone.
Therefore, Loki was not too concerned about Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan returning empty-handed.
His most urgent task now was to find a way to win over Olympus and the Tian Shen Temple to join him in attacking Great Xia.
Loki knew very well that Olympus and the Tian Shen Temple were not easy to deal with. To persuade them to act together, mere benefits would not be enough.
There also needed to be a deterrent. Otherwise, those two God Kingdoms would not obediently comply.
But his current strength...
Not to mention the Supreme Gods of the two God Kingdoms, even a main God like the Sun God Apollo was enough to give him a headache.
Loki frowned, and suddenly had an idea.
"Si Xiaonan, Leng Xuan, how long have you been in Asgard?"
Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan were stunned, clearly not expecting Loki to ask this question.
"It's almost a year now," Si Xiaonan replied.
"It's already a year!" Loki looked into their eyes, "I imagine you must miss home, right?"
A hint of vigilance flashed in Si Xiaonan's eyes, and she immediately said, "Our mission is to serve you."
"Hehe, that lie is too clumsy. How can you be the God of Mischief's Proxy like that?" Loki said mockingly, "But it doesn't matter. I know you Great Xia people have a strong attachment to your homeland, so this time, I'll take you back to Great Xia..."
"Back... to Great Xia?"
Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan's first reaction was not joy, but alertness.
What was Loki's purpose in going to Great Xia at this time?
...
Shangjing City, Night Watcher Headquarters.
As the new Night Watcher, Zuo Qing held his first meeting.
Many people attended the meeting, including the high-ranking officials who had been "optimized" by Ye Fan, as well as all special squad members except for the Heroic Spirits Squad.
A gathering of all special squads was a first in the history of the Night Watcher.
Xia Simeng, the captain of the Phoenix Squad, excitedly greeted the others:
"Bu Li, Wang Mian, long time no see!"
Bu Li of the Mysterious Squad and Wang Mian of the Mask Squad both responded.
"Indeed, long time no see. With the Mysterious suddenly disappearing, it truly feels a bit unaccustomed," Bu Li said with a smile.
"Oh, isn't that the truth?" Xia Simeng deeply empathized with this. "If it were just the Mysterious within Great Xia disappearing, that would be one thing, but even those overseas Mysterious that used to stir up trouble have all gone silent. I hope days like this can continue indefinitely, so I can take a peaceful vacation."
The rest of the people were amused by Xia Simeng's words, but no one present dared to underestimate this God's Proxy of Athena.
Xia Simeng was a truly violent woman.
Lin Qi Ye and others from the Reserve Squad were naturally also present at the venue.
"Ahem, it seems everyone is very punctual!"
Zuo Qing pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
Seeing Zuo Qing enter, everyone present at the meeting stood up and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Commander!"
Zuo Qing nodded slightly, motioning for everyone to sit down.
"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to discuss the future direction of the Night Watcher."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied, and it was clear that some had already guessed the purpose of this meeting.
Zuo Qing did not keep them in suspense and continued, "I believe everyone already knows that some changes have occurred in Great Xia recently.
The most important of these is that the Great Xia Gods have emerged from Reincarnation and are going to establish a new God Kingdom, Biyou Palace.
While this is something we have all been looking forward to, rebuilding a God Kingdom requires a lot of effort. Therefore, everyone must not think that now that our Great Xia Gods have revived, we can be lazy and complacent."
After he finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to Xia Simeng.
After all, she was the one with the loudest voice just now, clamoring for a vacation.
Xia Simeng pouted, "But there's hardly any Mysterious left now. It feels like we're no longer useful."
Zuo Qing's face showed a serious expression, "The current calm is merely an illusion. The true danger is hidden beneath this calm."
Zuo Qing's tone was very serious, even Xia Simeng straightened up.
"Before the Great Xia Gods left, they specifically instructed the Heroic Spirits Squad that the destruction of the Egyptian God Kingdom is both a good thing and a disaster."
Everyone present was stunned, only a few people frowned, seemingly understanding Zuo Qing's meaning.
"Commander Zuo, are you implying that other God Kingdoms might take action?" Lin Qi Ye asked.
Bu Li and Wang Mian turned their heads and glanced at Lin Qi Ye, not expecting this newcomer's mind to work so quickly.
Zuo Qing nodded, "That's right. This incident will inevitably alert other God Kingdoms, so what we might have to face next are Deities..."
"Deities..." Xia Simeng gasped, "So that's it. Deities are much more troublesome than Mysterious."
"Therefore, in the next step, the Night Watcher will focus on the war passes. As such, we need more Night Watchers.
We need to buy more time for the Great Xia Gods." Zuo Qing said, looking at everyone.
His meaning was clear: the current Night Watcher needed to focus on future wars. Only by delaying until Biyou Palace was successfully refined would Great Xia have a fighting chance.
