In the solemn and dignified conference room, the Five Elder Stars were sitting around the long table which was simple yet mysterious, discussing various important matters concerning the world situation.

The light in the room was a little dim, and a few wall lamps emitted a dim light, which seemed to add a bit of oppression to the solemn atmosphere.

The attendant of the Five Elders was standing outside the tightly closed door of the conference room at this moment. His palms were already soaked with sweat, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, as if it would burst through his throat in the next second.

He raised his hand with a slight tremor and carefully knocked on the door of the conference room. The knocks were particularly abrupt in the silent corridor, and each knock seemed to hit his own heart.

"Reporting to all the gentlemen present, there is urgent military information to be transmitted from the First Arsenal!"

The servant's voice was filled with nervousness and anxiety, echoing in the empty corridor, and even a slight, barely perceptible tremor could be heard.

In the conference room, the Five Elders' originally focused discussions were instantly interrupted. They frowned, with a mixture of impatience and anger on their faces.

"What happened to the armory? Really, these troublesome things keep happening one after another."

One of the Five Elder Stars slammed the table, stood up, and paced back and forth. His straight suit swayed slightly with his movements, the blue veins on his forehead throbbed faintly, and his eyes were full of annoyance.

Another of the Five Elders leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples, his face full of fatigue and helplessness, muttering: "Please transfer the call to us. Didn't they leave enough people to guard the place? Was it an accidental fire or explosion, or was it someone stealing from the company?"

After saying that, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes and his brows furrowed even tighter.

In their impression, the surrounding environment of the armory exuded a cold atmosphere.

The tall and thick walls surrounded the entire arsenal tightly. The walls and floors were made of high-strength alloys, giving off a cold metallic luster under the dim light.

The weapons are divided into different areas according to their types and uses and are neatly arranged. Each piece of weapon seems to be telling of the powerful force behind them.

At this moment, although the Five Elder Stars were angry, problems still occurred at this time. Were they afraid that they would not be scolded harshly enough?

But considering that the ammunition in the armory is arranged according to areas, and the walls and floors are so solid, even if a certain area accidentally catches fire or explodes, it will not be a big problem. At most, there will be some losses.

After all, in their view, after thousands of years of accumulation, even if a region's weapons and equipment were gone, they could replenish them again in a few years by collecting from those so-called "cows and horses". Moreover, one region would not affect another region, so when the time came, they could just put out the fire and reduce the losses.

Therefore, their mood at the moment has not become worse. At present, although the bad news is urgent, it is not serious.

They have seen many tricks played by those playboys over the past thousands of years. In their minds, this might be another mess caused by some short-sighted guy. Although it would be troublesome to deal with, it was still within controllable range.

However, the attendant of the Five Elders was so nervous that he almost suffocated. He knew in his heart that this bad news was extremely serious, but these adults in front of him did not seem to understand the seriousness of the matter. He could only continue to stammer:

"CP0, who came back to report on his mission, passed by the First Armory and found it quiet inside. There was no sign of any breath. It wasn't a scrapped armory, so he walked in decisively to take a look. The result... the result was the same as he thought. There was no sign of a living person inside."

As the servant spoke, his body trembled slightly, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear.

When the Five Elder Stars heard this, they were stunned at first, and then the expressions on their faces froze instantly. In their eyes, which originally contained a little irritation, there was now only shock and disbelief.

The Five Elders who had just been pacing suddenly stopped and widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? The hundreds of people guarding inside were all killed in one shot, and all the ammunition, including any bullets, were not left. It's cleaner than a cleaned room!"

His voice unconsciously rose a few notches, and the air in the entire conference room seemed to freeze at this moment. An unprecedented solemn atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire space.

Several other Five Elder Stars also stood up from their seats as if they had been electrocuted, and looked at each other solemnly. Everyone's eyes seemed to be swallowed by fear and worry. They knew very well that this time, they might really have encountered a devastating disaster.

"Why does this familiar and extremely disgusting method of plundering give people a sense of déjà vu? It seems to be exactly the same as the behavior we have always done!" One of them said with a frown, his face full of a mixture of confusion and anger.

Another person echoed, "Yes, this is indeed the same as the last time more than 100,000 navy equipment mysteriously disappeared. At that time, so many sophisticated weapons and equipment disappeared in an instant. It seems that they were transferred by the other party using space ability."

Someone suddenly exclaimed:

"Could it be that the legendary stocking-masked devil and the man who is always shrouded in mystery, their real purpose is not to rescue those poor slaves for the sake of justice, but to make a scene in Marijoa like a pack of hungry wolves just to snatch precious munitions?"

At this time, a man with a serious face interrupted and said, "What's worse is that what was stolen this time was the equipment from our first arsenal! These equipments are far more powerful than the garbage equipment used by the more than 100,000 navy before. The sheer number is simply astronomical!"

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to show the importance and scale of this batch of equipment.

"Oh my, this bad news really gives me a splitting headache and makes me miserable!" The man who spoke earlier rubbed his temple and continued anxiously.

"And I always feel an ominous premonition lingering in my heart, like a sharp thorn piercing my back, making me restless. Quick, contact the second and third arsenals immediately to see if they have suffered the same attack. After all, the enemy's greed is beyond imagination. Their appetite is shockingly huge every time, it is simply a bottomless black hole!"

At this moment, everyone was extremely anxious. They hadn't experienced the feeling of sweating like ants on a hot pan for many years.

You know, even if the Silk Stocking Masked Demon King is strong, so what? Even if he unites dozens of countries to build a huge world system and opposes their world government, so what? There will always be a day when his lifespan will end.

After that, they can continue to rely on their powerful military force to start over and wipe out the enemy.

The arsenal and accumulated wealth are their roots, so even though they regarded the dragon as their number one enemy before, it was just one of the many fish that crossed the river, and the waves it created were a little big, but could not hurt the roots.

The World Government is just their tool, and now they are the ones who are truly hurt!
