CHAPTER TEXT:
The core members of Cloud Summit first fell silent, then erupted together.
The Red Dress Guard has come to represent not just a battle team for Cloud Summit Villa, but in a certain sense, a spirit that belongs to both Cloud Summit and the apocalypse.
At the same time, the Red Dress Guard is also a symbol of Ye Zhongming. This meaning was not felt before, but as the King of Cloud Summit left, more and more people realized that as long as the Red Dress Guard exists, Boss Ye will always be there. Even if he is gone, he will come back.
It is strange; as women of Ye Zhongming, Xia Lei, Hatsune, and Miya did not give everyone this feeling, yet the Red Dress Guard did.
Many see the Red Dress Guard as the symbol and core of Cloud Summit Villa. Yes, they view a small team without a single nine-star evolver as the representation and core of the number one force in the national district.
This perception is held not just by outsiders, but even those within Cloud Summit subconsciously believe this.
This team, consisting of only a few hundred people, possesses a magic that others cannot comprehend.
If the equipment passed down from Ye Zhongming were given to others, some might disagree, but if it were given to the Red Dress Guard, everyone would raise their hands in agreement.
What everyone is discussing now is not whether they should give it to them, but the issue of the Red Dress Guard's combat power after they receive it.
“In the past, the Red Dress Guard could handle two top-tier beings. Is everyone so certain? Has it been tested, or is it just speculation?”
Tong Steward, who had not been with Cloud Summit for long, had doubts about this claim regarding the Red Dress Guard.
In her view, top-tier beings are unique existences; there shouldn’t be any cases of defeating them at a higher rank. Even if the Red Dress Guard were entirely made up of eight-star evolvers, equipped with golden gear, they could not kill a top-tier being, much less two.
“Tong, you might have a slight misunderstanding of the Red Dress Guard,” said Liu Zhenghong, sitting next to Tong Steward, patting her shoulder. “Their capability to achieve this is partly due to equipment and levels, but that’s not all.”
Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan are both eight-star evolvers. Although they are not combat types, they developed better physical qualities and energy for that level, so they have a deep understanding of it. Being tech-oriented, she views issues deeply and accurately, which is why she comprehends the Red Dress Guard’s strength well.
“Those young girls, each one lively, fight like they have nothing to lose. Note, it’s truly ‘nothing to lose,’ not just some brave fighting style. When they combat, they are as calm as robots, but if they can achieve their killing goals or meet certain objectives given orders, they will indeed fight without regard for their lives. This is a... habit.”
“A very frightening habit.”
Who is Liu Zhenghong? In her past life, she was the Red Creator. Although she is now under Ye Zhongming's command and no longer creates those half-human, half-corpse monsters, her research cannot be called merciful.
She is most accustomed to facing blood, limbs, flesh, and cells.
Such a person has long since become indifferent to death; if she says something is frightening, it must indeed be terrifying.
“Also, Cloud Summit is large, and the warriors are numerous. Even with many weapons, equipment, professions, bloodlines, skills, etc., it’s impossible to cater to everyone. Most people need to adapt to these, but the Red Dress Guard doesn’t. From the very beginning, they have been walking according to Little Ye's plan. Each person uses specific weapons, learns particular professions, masters certain bloodlines and skills, and even what kind of battle beasts they can raise later has been carefully planned by Ye Zhongming. Do you know what that means?”
Tong Steward nodded, not overly concerned with Liu Zhenghong's somewhat rude tone.
Although Sister Hong is not a top evolver and certainly not a leader at Cloud Summit, due to the emergence of magic crystal weapons, Le Da Yuan is nearly a household name in the national district and even globally. No one is unaware of the inventor of magic crystal weapons. For many high-level officials, Liu Zhenghong’s name carries as much weight as Le Da Yuan’s, perhaps even more; after all, the items created by Le Da Yuan require human usage, while Liu Zhenghong’s can directly enter battle.
