Chapter 123 Dissolution
In fact, although the Fatui have a bad reputation, they cooperate with various countries until Winter and use this to station troops in various countries.
In addition to this, there are also small groups of Fatui who secretly set up camps in the wild in various countries. Some have five or six people, while others have more than ten or twenty people. Most of them gather near some ruins to conduct investigations.
However, the above are not the places with the largest number of Fatui, because the power of the Fatui has infiltrated all walks of life, especially the children who came out of the Hearth House. It is possible to see them in any industry in Fontaine.
But this also led to the fact that there were not many elite troops with high combat effectiveness. After the others disbanded, there were only more than seventy elite troops left in front of Liu Bai.
Most of them were debt collectors, and a few were firefly mages.
In addition, due to her cooperation with Alechino, she allowed the servants to obey Liu Bai's orders, so there were also some servants from the Hearth House among them.
These elite Fatui all wear Evil Eyes and their combat power is no less than that of ordinary God's Eye holders. The number of more than seventy people is already quite terrifying.
In this way, Liu Bai led this group of elite Fatui and marched towards the north bank of Fontaine.
Before approaching the north shore, Liu Bai gave orders to these elite troops in advance.
……
To the north of Fontaine City is a coastline, where many peaceful Bulging Beasts are lying on the soft sand and basking in the sun.
Among a group of Bulbasaur, a huge parasol was inserted on the beach, and a man who had a rare time to rest was lying comfortably on the beach.
He is the person in charge of this cooperation with the Fatui.
It took Liu Bai more than a day to gather the Fatui, and after he sent the box out, he spent the past two days waiting for the Fatui's response. For him, it was like a vacation.
At this moment, the Bulging Beast next to him raised its head and looked around, then stretched out its front legs and patted the man's leg.
"Hmm? Go away, go away, don't disturb my rest."
The man looked down at the inflated beast at his feet and pushed it away with his foot in annoyance.
"Only you?"
Just when the man wanted to continue resting, Liu Bai's voice suddenly came from above his head.
He looked up in confusion, and then he saw that the "executive" in the information had come to his side at some point.
"Ahem, it turns out to be Lord Zhidong. You are finally here."
Seeing his partner coming, the man quickly got up from the ground and said to Liu Bai with a smirk.
"Tell your boss to come out and see me."
Looking at the man's appearance, Liu Bai knew without a second thought that he was just a small fry, so he simply grabbed his collar with one hand and lifted him up.
"Ah, well...I'm afraid it's not convenient for the boss..."
The man's eyes were a little evasive. He held Liu Bai's hands with both hands but couldn't shake his fingers at all.
In order to avoid exposing his identity, their boss rarely meets anyone, not even themselves.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai didn't waste any more words with him and pushed the man out.
The other party screamed, only to find himself caught by something in mid-air.
Just as he was wondering, more than fifty debt handlers suddenly appeared out of nowhere around him, and two of them had subdued him.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen firefly mages and servants teleported to the side and surrounded him.
The surrounding Bulgemons patted their bellies happily when they saw this. Instead of being scared away, they lay on the beach and looked at this side.
"What do you mean? We sincerely want to cooperate with the Fatui!"
Seeing this scene, the other party showed horror.
"Take him back. I allow you to use any means to torture him to find out who is behind him."
Liu Bai ignored his words and gave orders to the debt handler.
"Master, the most efficient method may require you to go back to Winter Solstice to get a dose of truth serum made by the Master."
A thunder firefly sorcerer at the side began to explain to Liu Bai.
"Then do both things at the same time, torture while waiting for the truth serum."
Liu Bai made the decision without hesitation.
But to his regret, there was only one person waiting here for this meeting.
Logically speaking, when cooperating on such things, shouldn't it be a group of people to avoid black-eating black?
“Ah…Help, help…”
Just when Liu Bai was puzzled, he suddenly heard the scream of the man just now.
Liu Bai looked over quickly, only to find that a lot of water was coming out of the other person's body for some reason, and then the whole body quickly dissolved into a stream of water, and all the water fell onto the beach.
"Executive Officer... Your Excellency..."
In addition to this man, a similar situation occurred to a debt handler who was responsible for controlling him.
Soon he turned into a pool of water and disappeared, leaving behind only the debt collector's clothes and a fire-attributed evil eye.
"Ah? Sir, I'm also infected. Please save me!"
The Fatui elite were shocked when the two people were dissolved. The debt handler who was closest to them and was responsible for controlling the other party spoke in a panic.
After the man was controlled just now, something on his body suddenly exploded, and some strange water splashed out, spraying all over the two debt collectors and the controlled man.
Faced with this strange scene, the other elite soldiers around did not retreat, but looked at each other and dared not move forward.
"You're fine, you're not from Fontaine."
Glancing at the flustered debt handler, Liu Bai responded subconsciously, then walked forward with a frown.
The smell is very similar to the illegal drugs in the box...
"After being dissolved, only water remains, without any body tissue or blood..."
Liu Bai touched the wet sand and muttered, then picked up the evil eye on the ground.
The dissolved debt handler was obviously a pure Fontaine person, perhaps from the Hearth House. Liu Bai was not clear about his identity.
"Put away his belongings, bury some of them with honor, and distribute the rest to his family along with the pension. Also, apply for a military medal for him from the Zhidong headquarters in my name."
Liu Bai handed the evil eye he picked up to a firefly sorcerer next to him and gave orders.
He was very angry that there was a sacrifice without any gain.
However, his current skills and props seemed to be ineffective in uncovering the culprit behind the scenes, so he could only continue investigating the other party's identity.
However, given the Fatui's infiltration capabilities, perhaps this won't take long.
"Don't move! Put your hands up! You've been surrounded by the special patrol team!"
Just when Liu Bai was about to disband the team, an angry shout suddenly came from not far away, and a group of special patrols armed with muskets rushed out, led by a girl with purple hair, a tall hat and an eye patch.
Seeing these special patrol team members, the debt collectors drew their scimitars, and the firefly sorcerer also summoned the thunder fireflies and ice fireflies around him.
"Put down your weapons! We have received a report that you are conducting illegal transactions here! Give up resistance immediately!"
The purple-haired girl in the lead pointed the rifle at Liu Bai and shouted at him harshly.
