Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 591 Confrontation (Requesting Subscription)

When the commotion began in the town, Dieterma, who was constantly monitoring the opponent's actions, had already received the news. He had just finished arranging the defense tasks amid the chaos when someone delivered detailed information about the town.

"Are you saying the aliens have set up a row of tall poles on the streets, hanging our spies upside down from them? What about the people from the two great clans? They didn't touch a single one, all released?" Dieterma felt chills upon hearing his subordinate's report and said with a trembling voice.

"Yes, my lord, the opponents acted decisively and ruthlessly. Our people had their teeth knocked out, tongues pulled, limbs broken, and were hung upside down on the poles. Now, the two major camps' forces in the town have fully mobilized and surrounded our camp tightly," the spy recalled, with lingering fear, the gruesome scene he witnessed while hidden among the crowd.

"Where is Little Friedrich! Fetch him for me!"

Soon after, Little Friedrich, who had also received the news and had to suspend his interrogation, rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered the main tent, he was grabbed by the collar by the disoriented Dieterma, who loudly questioned, "Well done! Why instigate? They had no intention of infighting, they came at us directly!"

Seeing Dieterma's appearance, Little Friedrich couldn't help but feel disdain. He didn't understand why the clan would choose such a power-hungry, timid, and indecisive person as the commander for this operation.

Despite his contempt, he knew he was too weak to take on the task, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction, forced a smile, and explained, "Sir, isn't this exactly what we anticipated earlier? It's just that the other side reacted a bit faster and more intensely; that's inevitable, since they have cooperated for some time and still have some trust. As long as we stick to the plan and withstand both sides' questioning, what can they do to us? Don't forget, sir, you are the envoy appointed by the Holy City! You represent the Demon God's will and dignity. These aliens don't understand the rules here; but can the Samikina Clan not understand? When confronting them later, if the two clans hesitate and dare not exert force, their bond with the aliens won't be as strong!"

Up to this point, Little Friedrich felt the grip on his collar loosen as Dieterma finally released him. Seeing his mood stabilize somewhat, Little Friedrich continued, "Sir, since we are already staking everything, what is there to worry about? Our emerging noble families will not treat you and your family poorly. Even if Samikina's old fool really loses his mind and dares to challenge the Demon God's authority by attacking us, for both of us, it's just a matter of life and death! Our families would surely use this as grounds to impeach and suppress the main lineage forces, and by that time your family, having made such great sacrifices for this matter, would definitely be richly rewarded!"

"You are the real devil!" said Dieterma, who was once again swayed, as he stumbled back to sit down in his chair, staring at Little Friedrich with a bitter smile. Then he noticed his bloodstained hands and asked puzzledly, "Did you torture the captured aliens?"

"Ah! I wanted to ask them about the information within the aliens, but this person had quite a tight mouth! No choice but to use some minor tricks!" said Little Friedrich, as he nonchalantly took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the blood on his hands.

"Is he still alive? Where did you place him so they can't find him?"

"He's still breathing! I placed him in a newly dug basement under the camp. Before I came out, I instructed my men that if the situation outside becomes dire, they should kill him to silence and have the warlock destroy the corpse to the extent that they won't even find ashes!"

Only then did Dieterma breathe a sigh of relief and said in a vexed tone, "That's good enough, as long as they can't find the person, they can't hold anything against us...". Before he finished his words, a sudden thunderous sound came from outside the main tent, and the two exchanged glances, knowing something was amiss, and hurriedly rushed outside to observe. Just in time to see the flagpole shatter and the flag destroyed.

"Dieterma, Little Friedrich, come out and face your death!"

In the resounding roar echoing across the sky and earth, Dieterma looked up at the person demonstrating in the air, and his earlier cowardice was replaced by anger. With clenched fists, he said hatefully, "This is too much! Destroying my clan's flag without even asking! How dare they look down on people! Send orders for the other four accompanying committee members to join me in fighting the enemy!"

"Sir, be careful!" Little Friedrich's warning sounded in his ears. Dieterma turned his head to see Pei Yan pulling out another longsword from Samikina's waist, turning it into a flash of lightning, and slashed straight at him.

Amidst the swirling dust and under shouts of 'come out and face death' like a landslide and tsunami, Dieterma's somewhat embarrassed figure staggered as he flew towards the sky, followed by more than twenty others flying out from the camp one after another, surrounding him.

"Where does this insolent person come from, daring to challenge at the envoy camp! Destroying my clan's flag!" With things having come to this, cornered to the brink, Dieterma decided to fight to the death, mobilizing his vital energy to amplify his voice until it overshadowed the thirty-thousand-strong army's challenge.

"It's just a broken flag, destroyed as it was!" Pei Yan said, as his body floated forward to stand still in front of the two armies. His gaze swept over the people behind Dieterma but failed to find his target, expressing dissatisfaction, "Are you Dieterma? Where is Little Friedrich?"

"Who are you?" Dieterma asked, feigning ignorance.

Pei Yan sneered with disdain, "Don't pretend to be muddleheaded! You've visited me seven or eight times, and you don't know who I am? Where is Little Friedrich? Where did you take my investigator from the bureau?"

Seeing that the opponent had made it plain, Dieterma saw no point in continuing to pretend, responding, "So it's you, Mr. Shitang, much more impressive to meet you than hear of you! Imposing indeed! Mr. Shitang, I don't understand what you mean, nor do I understand why you would come to provoke and destroy my clan's flag and damage my main tent, do you think that just by winning two battles with the strength of Samikina and Bailang's two great clans, you can do as you please and slight the Holy City and the dignity of the Demon God?"

"Today, I've witnessed what 'a thief crying stop thief' and counterattack means. Dieterma, I'm asking you one last time, where did you tie up my bureau's investigator?"

Facing Pei Yan's aggressive attitude, Dieterma pretended to be puzzled and said in shock, "What? Your department's subordinate was kidnapped? But what does that have to do with us! Since coming here, we have been stationed outside the town and would not enter the town unless necessary. Could it be that your subordinate disappeared after leaving the town?"

Saying this, Dieterma glanced at Samikina behind Pei Yan with an expression of sudden realization, and said with impassioned fervor, "I understand now! Fritz, what a cunning scheme! Mr. Shitang, please think about it, this is our first meeting, we have no enmity, and you have made great contributions to our Demon Race! What reason would I have to kidnap your subordinate at the risk of destroying an alliance and displeasing the Demon God? Therefore, I earnestly request you to investigate clearly, and not be deceived by villains and fall into their plot of using a borrowed knife to kill!"
