"Expanding the recruitment of personal guards?"

Everyone was surprised and looked at each other.

None of them had heard the news.

"Mr. Zhao, how come we haven't heard of this?" the middle-aged leader of the Nightingale District asked in confusion.

The old man chuckled and said: "I just learned that the Queen Ant's last thought was probably to avoid some inappropriate competition."

Improper competition... Everyone's hearts trembled slightly, and they suddenly thought of many things. Maybe it was not the Queen who thought of it on the spur of the moment, but it was announced on the spur of the moment.

If it had been known in advance, all the bureaus would have been uneasy.

After all, being able to join the ant queen's personal guard is not only an honor, but also more about convenience and power!

Don't underestimate the fact that they are just personal guards. The personal guards who can accompany the king are almost unruly outside.

Beat the dog to find out the master, the entire termite city belongs to the queen. With such a master, who dares to offend the queen's personal guards?

Chance!

Everyone looked at each other and saw burning enthusiasm and excitement in each other's eyes. This was a blessing from heaven. Obviously, the director behind them didn't know the news.

Otherwise, they would have made various preparations in advance.

For example, attract B-level ruins to other areas and tie up the two states in other areas.

The key hand that determines victory or defeat is often outside the chessboard.

Xu Shen's eyes flashed, he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. If he could become a member of the Guards, at least the forces in the inner city would no longer be able to arrest people at will.

This level of identity is stronger than the leader or even the leader of the Light Chasing Society!

Thinking of this, Xu Shen couldn't help but think of Chu Bai. He had calculated everything but still missed this move. His fate was really magical.

"Mr. Zhao, are there any requirements or restrictions for the personal guards recruited by the ant queen? Or do they have to be in two states?" The young man next to Yue Ling couldn't help but ask, with surprise that could not be concealed on his face.

He had just become a second state, and he encountered such a good thing. He felt that he was blessed by the goddess of the night.

"Both the initial state and the second state are fine, as long as you perform well, in addition to combat power, other aspects should also be considered, so when you see the queen, you should be careful with your words and actions." The old man said with a smile.

Hearing this, the attendants from each branch were also full of surprise.

Luo Hua's eyes shone, and he felt that he had really seized the opportunity. Fortunately, he got a spot here from the bureau. If he could join the Guards again, he would reach the sky in one step.

"Don't be too happy too early. The queen ant has strict requirements for selecting her personal guards. It's difficult to get in without some special skills." The woman sitting in the middle said indifferently.

When everyone heard this, it was like being poured cold water on her, their enthusiasm was extinguished a little. At the same time, they also felt a little displeased with this woman. Although the latter was extremely beautiful and couldn't afford to offend her because of her status, they couldn't help but slander her in their hearts.

.

The woman obviously didn't care what others thought, she showed her arrogant self-confidence, and after speaking, she just bowed her head and ate her food.

"It's too late to know, otherwise I could have done my homework in advance. It's a pity." Luo Hua said in a low voice, with regret in his eyes and only hope in his heart, hoping that he would be lucky.

Everyone else had the same idea.

Xu Shen's eyes flashed. If the ant queen personally selected it, no one would know what the standards would be.

But combat power should be one of the important criteria for calculation.

Soon, everyone finished eating, and under the leadership of the five two-state officials from the General Administration, everyone left the luxurious reception hall and came to the main hall of the Snow Palace.

Here, everyone also saw the guards on both sides, with silver armors engraved with ant patterns containing dragon scales, with elite murderous intent.

There was a trace of envy in everyone's eyes. Even though they were guarding the gate here, their status was higher than theirs.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the queen ant in the hall.

Sitting on the silver couch in the vast and luxurious Snow Palace, wearing a silver armor and cloak, many people had seen this knight-like exquisite dress at the entrance of the Mo family manor, but this time the queen ant did not wear a helmet, revealing her true appearance.

.

She was a woman with hair as long as golden waves, and a delicate face like an angel descending from the mortal world. Her appearance was different from that of most people, and she seemed to have a different bloodline.

Exquisite earrings for fishing, with an elegant and noble temperament, indifferent eyes, and a kingly look.

The moment everyone looked into his eyes, it felt like an electric shock. Their pores shrank involuntarily and they hurriedly lowered their heads.

"The Ruins Secret Bureau headquarters and the five branches have met Her Highness the Ant Queen."

The old man named Zhao in front said respectfully.

The woman who was as cold and arrogant as ice and snow lowered her head at this moment and knelt on one knee.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed the etiquette and knelt down on one knee.

She was a woman with blond hair, her face was as delicate as an elf, her appearance was different from that of most people, and she seemed to have another bloodline.

"Everyone, get up."

The queen ant's voice is clear and elegant, like solidified snow falling, making people feel awe and admiration.

Everyone stood up one after another.

"Is the food delicious?"

The queen ant smiled calmly.

The old man surnamed Zhao said quickly: "It's very delicious. We thank His Highness for your hospitality."

"Recently, the beasts have been raging in the termite city, and many residents have been harmed by the beasts. Thanks to the suppression and killing by the various bureaus, the residents can live a stable life."

The Queen Ant said softly: "Based on the performance of each bureau, I want to give you some awards."

As she spoke, the maid next to her came forward and read out the performance of each branch.

At the Headquarters of the Ruins Secret Bureau, a total of 328 Ruins were killed throughout the year.

There are 8 animals in Grade B market.

C-level market 125 animals...

In the Nightingale Branch, a total of 218 birds were killed throughout the year.

5 B grade.

C grade 89 only...

Count them one by one.

In the Black Light Branch, a total of 168 animals were killed throughout the year.

2 Class B.

32 C-level animals...

Rewards are given based on performance. There are 5,000 bonuses for the general bureau, 4,000 bonuses for the Nightingale Branch, and 2,000 bonuses for the other branches.

In addition, there is money for the Ruins, which is 2 million for the main office, 1.5 million for the Nightingale branch, and 1 million for the other branches.

For the Xu soldiers, there are three pieces for the main office, two pieces for the Nightingale branch, and one piece for each of the other branches.

Although they are all the most ordinary Ruin soldiers, they are still better than nothing.

After all, Ruins Soldiers are extremely precious, and the only way that Xu Shen knows how to plunder Ruins Soldiers is to use Ruins Cave.

Xu Shen listened silently to the news read out and calculated secretly in his mind. What surprised him was that after adding up the six rounds, the number of animals killed in the end of the city in the whole year reached more than 1,100.

This means the casualties of at least thousands of families.

Even more.

And if there are three people in each family, there are between ten and twenty thousand people.

This is still Xu Shen's conservative estimate. In fact, there may be more, especially B-level ruins, which can usually destroy several communities, one is worth a hundred.

The team leader of each bureau stepped forward, received the reward, and handed it over to the entourage.

Xu Shen came closer and looked at the delicate face of the ant queen. He felt a thrilling feeling, but compared to Maeve sitting on the armrest next to her, it was much overshadowed.

Xu Shen noticed the anger in Maeve's eyes and didn't dare to look any further. He lowered his head to put away the reward and turned around to return.

He thought of the pocket watch that the strange old man in the lighthouse had given him in the mist outside the wall, and the words he had asked him to take.

But obviously, before the temperament of the queen ant is understood, and before she has sufficient abilities, this kind of message is still too dangerous.

No one knows the relationship between the old man and the queen ant.

Even though they were close to each other, sending messages revealed too much information that Xu Shen couldn't explain.

On the way back, Xu Shen noticed a gaze staring at him from behind, like a clear sharp blade, making the hairs all over his body stand up slightly.

When he returned to his original position, the feeling still lingered. Xu Shen looked towards the ant queen and saw that her eyes were calm, just looking down at them quietly, not focusing on any one person.

That gaze staring at the back is like an illusion.

Xu Shen didn't know what the king was capable of and didn't dare to think wildly.

After all branches had collected their rewards, the Queen Ant asked about the situation of each branch one by one.

This kind of inquiry is just to corroborate certain information obtained, and everyone answers honestly.
To be continued...
