Chapter 1270: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey?
As a decree to be kept secret from all living beings was issued from the palace, the entire central universe was completely shrouded in an invisible haze when the imperial edict signed by Tuoba Mingyue was received.
Except for the Giant Spirit City in the war, the city lords of all cities received this imperial edict that was burned after reading almost at the same time.
The content above was also very simple. Within three months, screen the areas under their jurisdiction to see if there were any abnormalities, and find out the whereabouts of the Nishui Research Department.
Because they were afraid that someone didn't understand, along with the imperial edict, there was also a briefing on the Ice Crystal City incident and the consequences of not completing the goal within the specified time.
In this matter, Tuoba Mingyue and the God of Killing had the same idea. If there was no progress, it meant that the position of the city lord was over. At that time, the God of Killing and the Supervisory Guards would work together to capture him.
In other words, Tuoba Mingyue put all the pressure on the city lords of various places, forcing them to come up with the clues they knew within the specified time. At the same time, he also said that during this period, you should not do anything and concentrate on handling this matter.
For Tuoba Mingyue's decision, everyone has different attitudes. Some people who are not mentally able to bear it are directly frightened and screen their territories over and over again, regardless of everything, not letting go of any suspicious points.
Those city lords who have extreme control over their territories have nothing unusual about this. After making up their minds, they arrange in an orderly manner. Some things should be cut off when they are necessary. When threatening their own interests, anything can be sacrificed.
Finally, a small part of them has an ambiguous attitude, with neither open statements nor secret actions, as if this large-scale investigation has nothing to do with them at all.
And most of this small part are the gods of order who are ranked at the top of the law. These people, even in the era controlled by the God of Hongmeng, are the existence of listening to orders but not announcements.
Not only are they strong in their own strength, but they also control a large number of troops. With the blessing of these two, they have created their own status.
Shortly after the order was issued, the Shadow Organization under Tuoba Mingyue had all been dispatched, and a small part of them was even directly exposed to everyone. It was also on that day that these order gods finally understood to what extent this empress had control over the entire universe.
In fact, this approach is quite effective. On the third day after the order was issued, three major cities received news that the base of the Nishui Research Department was found. The city lords who guarded the city moved quickly and immediately mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress it.
Tuoba Mingyue was shocked by the terrible efficiency, as if these city lords had known about the existence of these things for a long time.
"Elf City, Polar Day City, Eight Desolate City, Broken Giant Ridge..."
Tuoba Mingyue looked at the briefing that was sent up, and his expression became colder and colder. The sixteen cities marked in red on the map all had great results shortly after the order was issued.
And the order gods guarding these cities are all famous for being slippery in the universe.
Using a red brush to circle the last city, Tuoba Mingyue sneered, obviously a little angry.
"I didn't expect that under the supervision of the Shadow Organization, these city lords could still play so many tricks. It's really amazing."
Tuoba Mingyue exhaled heavily and said coldly.
In just a few days, the base set up by the Nishui Research Department in the city was uprooted without even an investigation.
This means that these city lords have long known about the existence of this organization, not only did they not report it, but they also used the resources provided by this organization to continuously strengthen themselves.
It's really amazing, using the lives of their own territories to exchange resources, completely ignoring the consequences in the future. The word "divine indifference" really reflects them vividly!
"What do you think I should do with these people?"
Tuoba Mingyue looked at Cao Xiaochun and the God of Killing and said slowly.
During this period, Tuoba Mingyue and the God of Killing can be said to have entered a "honeymoon period". Because of the Nishui Research Department, the two most fiercely fighting forces actually had close cooperation. Tuoba Mingyue usually respected the opinions of the God of Killing in dealing with this matter.
"In my opinion, kill!"
"The gods are not irreplaceable."
The God of Killing raised his eyelids and said coldly. Among the city lords who reported, there were those who were loyal to Tuoba Mingyue and those who were loyal to himself, but he had only one attitude towards this matter, that is, to treat everyone equally. Whoever made a mistake would die!
The reason why the God of Killing's idea was so extreme was that in addition to the fact that the basic plate of the Central Universe could not be shaken, there was also a stronghold hidden in the Hongmeng City that had not been found so far.
This also meant that Mo Junxiong was most likely dead. After all, after the incident in Bingjing City, it was impossible for the God Alliance to not take action.
Such an action challenged his authority!
In essence, Cao Xiaochun approved of the behavior of the God of Killing. If Tuoba Mingyue really accepted his opinion, it would not take long for the entire Central Universe to be in chaos, and these gods of order would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
But his current identity and personality cannot allow him to agree with the God of Killing's approach. This has nothing to do with right or wrong, but an attitude issue.
He is now loyal to Tuoba Mingyue. No matter how close the cooperation between the God of Killing and Tuoba Mingyue is now, the contradiction between the two sides is still there, and eventually, this contradiction will also erupt.
Therefore, this is about a question of standing in line. Cao Xiaochun must now play a role that is completely loyal to Tuoba Mingyue.
"Capturing them all is too extreme. These gods of order have already built their own territories as solid as a rock. If we rashly capture them all, it is easy for people to jump off the wall in desperation."
"Now, they have taken down their strongholds without hesitation, which proves that these people are aware of the situation, so I think we can't push them too hard now."
"Besides, we don't know how many gods of order there are like them."
"It is impossible for the empress to send all the gods of order to the guillotine. The basic foundation of the central universe will eventually rely on them."
Cao Xiaochun thought about it and said quickly.
In response, Tuoba Mingyue also nodded. She felt that both sides had their reasons. In this case, let's use a compromise method to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
While Tuoba Mingyue was constantly making arrangements based on the existing intelligence, the City of Heaven and Earth was constantly increasing its defenses. The God of Heaven and Earth, who was guarding this main city, was now in an independent space of his own creation with a gloomy face.
As several mysterious mirrors appeared in the space, he slowly raised his head, looked at the familiar face in the mirror, and said coldly.
"Kindness, I didn't expect that you would set up such a situation in the central universe."
"Should I praise you for doing a good job, or should I blame you for colluding with the Gods Alliance in the ancient times?"
