Chapter 426 Her financial sponsor father
This remote town in the Snow Country was originally a quiet and peaceful little place.
The residents usually lead a simple and comfortable life, and few major events happen.
However, today, with the sudden tearing of the huge rift gate, the peace of the entire town was completely broken.
After receiving the emergency notification, the Snow Country's official supernatural organization, Frost Covenant, immediately dispatched a large number of personnel to the scene as soon as possible.
They responded very quickly and obviously had extensive experience in handling such emergencies.
After arriving at the scene, the members of the Frost Covenant first carried out simple but effective cleanup work on the various low-level disaster beasts that escaped from the rift.
Most of these disaster beasts that initially emerged from the rifts were not very powerful and did not pose much of a threat to well-trained transcendents.
Then, they began to follow standard procedures and skillfully built various temporary fortifications around the Rift Gate.
The entire arrangement process was well-organized, demonstrating the professionalism of the Frost Covenant in handling such incidents.
Once a rift gate appears, the scope of its tearing will become larger and larger over time.
This expansion will continue until it reaches a certain limit threshold and then stop.
As the rift gate continues to expand and tear, the disaster beasts that can pass through it and enter the human world will become more and more powerful.
At first, they may just be some low-level, weaker disaster beasts.
But as the rift expands, powerful disaster beasts will begin to appear.
Precisely because of this gradual escalation of danger, generally speaking, whenever a rift gate appears, the Frost Covenant will immediately find a way to completely close it.
The purpose of doing this is to avoid the possibility of more powerful and dangerous beasts emerging in the future.
After all, if a truly powerful disaster beast were allowed to enter the human world, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Near the established fortifications, a large tracked transport vehicle specially designed for traveling on snow slowly stopped.
This vehicle is equipped with a special track system on the bottom, which enables it to move steadily in thick snow. It is a commonly used means of transportation in snowy areas.
The car body is made of sturdy alloy material, which can withstand severe cold and has certain protective capabilities.
Three girls got off the snow transport vehicle one after another.
Among them, Xiao Bailian, who was walking in front, looked around and carefully took in the surrounding situation.
Her eyes swept over the busy members of the Frost Covenant and the defense facilities that were constantly being improved.
"Camellia, why are there so many people from the Frost Covenant this time?"
There was a hint of doubt in Xiao Bailian's tone.
"Logically speaking, in the early stages of the Rift Gate, we shouldn't need to mobilize so many extraordinary people, right?"
She continued to take in the scale of the scene.
Both Frost Covenant and Manju Academy have corresponding criteria and procedures for judging the Rift Gate incident.
They will decide how much manpower and material resources to devote to dealing with the rift based on its size, danger level, and the type of disaster beast that may appear.
It has been some time since Xiao Bailian returned to the Snow Country.
During this period of time, she naturally also worked with the Frost Covenant to deal with several similar rift gate tearing incidents.
But there has never been such a large scale and lineup as today.
This unusual situation confused her.
In response to Xiao Bailian's question, Camellia spoke up.
"Lianlian, our research on extraordinary armed equipment has recently run into a serious technical bottleneck."
Camellia's tone sounded somewhat helpless.
"We urgently need to find more powerful and rarer Scourge materials to conduct groundbreaking research."
She went on to explain the reasons for this massive operation.
"And your mother also attaches great importance to this exploratory experiment and gives it a high priority."
Camellia's expression turned serious.
"So basically, nearly half of the Frost Covenant's elite personnel were mobilized to participate in this operation."
However, in response to what Snow Camellia said, Xiao Bailian did not choose to believe it directly.
She stared straight at the ice camellia in front of her, her eyes revealing obvious doubt.
"Do I look like an idiot to you?"
Xiao Bailian's tone became sharper.
"With this scale of personnel deployment, someone who didn't know would think there were demons causing trouble here."
She continued in a skeptical tone.
"And I'm accompanied by a powerful goblin."
Xiao Bailian pointed at Violet behind her.
"Is it really necessary to mobilize so many people?"
There was a hint of disbelief in her tone.
"Even if we want to venture into the Rift Gate to explore and collect rare disaster beast materials, our current configuration is more than enough."
Xiao Bailian continued to question.
"Do you think I would believe that you would mobilize half of the Frost Covenant's elite forces just for some research materials?"
Her eyes became sharper.
"Camellia, you'd better give me a more reasonable explanation."
Faced with Xiao Bailian's serious and solemn questioning, Camellia paused for a moment.
Then she couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"Alas, Lianlian, you have been so smart since you were young. I really can't hide anything from you."
There was a sense of helplessness in Camellia's tone.
She shook her head and then began to explain seriously.
"Okay, Auntie will tell you the truth."
Camellia's expression turned serious.
"Auntie has received reliable intelligence information."
She continued in a low voice.
"The branch of the Apostolic Order that has long been stationed within our Snow Country is attempting to release and capture higher-level disaster beasts through this rift gate."
"Lianlian, you've been dealing with those lunatics for such a long time."
"You should also understand very well that they are a group of pure lunatics with absolutely no bottom line."
Camellia's tone turned angry.
"They have deliberately expanded the size of the rift gate more than once for their crazy, dangerous and inhumane experiments."
"They released all sorts of powerful and dangerous beasts, with no regard for the lives of ordinary civilians."
"And follow your mother's latest instructions and strategic arrangements."
She went on to detail the true purpose of the operation.
"This time, in addition to carrying out the preliminary exploration of the inner world of the Rift as planned."
Camellia paused, then continued:
"At the same time, we must also take this opportunity to set a clever trap for those people from the Apostolic Order."
"We must capture as many members of the cult as possible stationed within the Snow Country."
"So among so many extraordinary people, I will arrange for a large number of them to be hidden."
"They will form a circle at the critical moment to ensure that the Apostolic Order cannot escape."
After hearing the detailed explanation from Bingxue Camellia, Xiao Bailian nodded slightly.
But there was still a look of doubt in her eyes:
"Are you so sure that you can successfully ambush the members of the Apostolic Order?"
"And how can you be so sure they will take action this time?"
"Or have you already planted spies within the Apostolic Cult?"
Xiao Bailian's eyes became sharper, and it was obvious that she had guessed something.
Faced with Xiao Bailian's sharp speculation, Bingxue Camellia still maintained that smiling expression.
"Lianlian is so smart!"
There was a hint of appreciation in Camellia's tone.
"Yes, there is indeed an important chess piece that I carefully arranged within the Apostolic Cult."
She continued to reveal important information.
"The various dangerous operations they are currently carrying out, and the inhumane experimental projects they are about to launch."
Camellia's expression turned smug.
"Almost all of them are under our close monitoring and control."
"This counterattack against the Apostolic Cult was a detailed plan personally formulated by your mother and me."
Camellia's tone became more confident.
"At the same time, I personally organized and directed the execution."
She paused, then continued.
"But you don't need to care or worry too much about this matter, Lianlian."
Camellia's tone became relaxed.
"The preliminary exploration work within the Rift will continue as usual and will not be affected in any way."
She continued to arrange a specific action plan.
"When the rift gate is widened enough for you to pass through safely."
Camellia looked in Violet's direction.
"Just let your purple-haired fairy sister go in and explore."
She continued explaining the schedule.
"During this exploration, my aunt will also launch a campaign to eliminate the Apostolic Cult."
After listening to Bingxue Camellia's detailed explanation, Xiao Bailian nodded seriously.
Then she continued speaking.
"I don't want to get too involved in the complicated things between you and my mom."
Xiao Bailian's tone became firm.
"But you may be wrong about one thing."
She looked straight into Camellia's eyes.
"I didn't let Violet go in and explore alone."
Xiao Bailian's tone became very firm.
"This time, I will also enter the Rift Realm myself!"
Hearing what Xiao Bailian said, Bingxue Camellia was stunned.
Her expression seemed hesitant and worried.
"This...this is too dangerous."
There was a clear note of worry in Camellia's tone.
"Lianlian, you will inherit the entire Frost Covenant in the future."
She continued to dissuade him.
"If anything were to happen during the exploration of the Rift..."
There was a hint of fear in Camellia's voice.
In response to Camellia's concerns, Xiao Bailian responded immediately.
"Aunt, I'm no longer the child who needs protection."
Xiao Bailian's tone became mature.
"I have my own Manju Academy. If necessary, I can also summon my own extraordinary team, Manjushahua. Even if it is not as good as the Frost Covenant, it is not much weaker."
She continued to express her thoughts.
"So, I actually don't have any particular interest in inheriting the Frost Covenant."
Xiao Bailian paused for a moment, then continued.
"Besides...when did you become as nagging as my mom?"
There was a hint of teasing in her tone.
"It's just a short exploratory mission. We will strictly follow the stipulated time and return within the hour."
