Steel steam and flame

"Come back quickly, don't imagine that you can accomplish anything with the new group of reserve knights. Don't you know how many of them can pass the official knight assessment task in two or three years? Don't forget, Frito But he died at the hands of the prey. We are both members of the first phase. How is Frito's strength? Do you still want to read the information left by the regiment to understand it?" The man's words were full of provocation. means, "The personnel for this mission have not been assembled yet, so don't think about rushing to complete a difficult mission just after becoming an official knight."

"You don't have that strength, and of course, neither do I. But at least compared to you, I think I will live longer..."

Trono hung up the call directly. He didn't want to hear the man's voice on the other side anymore.

The limo in front of him continued to emit gray-black smoke. The steel-cased bomb not only blew up the communication equipment inside to pieces, but also destroyed everything that could collect messages.

"Fortunately, no one was injured." Trono sighed inwardly. Without admiring his own caution, he asked the reserve knights who had just come in to wear bulletproof shields. He was just thinking that if he and nearly forty people failed to catch the prey, there would be casualties instead. When he returns to the Knights' headquarters, he will not only be laughed at by the same members, but his appearance among these new members and in the eyes of the Knight Commander will also fall down a level.

"Maybe it's already gone down." Trono's anger couldn't find a place to vent. In the Knights, strength accounts for a large proportion of the assessment of promotion paths, and the completion of tasks and the performance in them are the best reflection of overall strength.

"Go back to the station. Manoma's defense force will arrive soon. If we are stopped by them, the commander-in-chief will not be kind enough to pick us up from the defense force." Trono turned around and got into the limo, taking a deep look at the place. He glanced at her, then looked away, "Cassia?"

The residence of the Rose and the Knights of the Rose is sandwiched between the headquarters of the Holy Emperor's Hall and the residence of the Astus Family. The location is not remote, but it is close to the suburbs. It is at the end of the slowly descending ridge of the Blanco Mountains, but it is also far away from the military school.

Trono walked straight from the parking lot to the building wrapped in lights in front of him. The elevator took him to the twentieth floor of a high-rise building. Stepping on the soft carpet, the oil paintings of the captains and generals of various knight orders hanging on both sides of the corridor made him feel invisible pressure. Behind a wooden door in front is the hall specially prepared by the Knights for their mission.

Before he even got close, Trono could hear laughter coming from inside. Milton's voice especially irritated his eardrums.

"Trono is back." Milton was sitting at the edge of a long conference table. When he saw Trono opening the door, his voice became much louder.

"Is there anything wrong with the new ones I lent you?" It was another female voice. At this moment, she smoothed her bright golden hair, carefully clipped the bookmarks, closed the book in her hand, and then looked at Trono asked, "The prey must have become alert after your actions. Although the mission period is very long, once he returns to the military school and does not come out, there is nothing we can do. Even if you confirm that allies can reach him bottom line, but when the action begins, we also have a few more enemies.”

"Have you figured out how to make up for this loss?" The man typed on the hard writing, and the imperial text on "Principles of Medicine" seemed a bit obscure. "I finally passed the examination and became an official knight. I don't want to be the first." The mission ended in failure."

Trono walked to the table and sat down. He glanced at the five people in the spacious conference room and said nothing. The air suddenly became quiet, as if everyone was waiting for Trono's answer. The other five people all withdrew their sights and focused on their own matters.

"Where are Resa and the others?" Trono asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Out." The female voice sounded again, but this time she did not close the book carefully. "Like you, they led a group of newcomers to guard outside the military school." No matter where the prey goes, he must return to the military school. ', Resa said at the time, and then he and the other three people rushed outside the military school in advance with a large group of newcomers."

"Compared to Resa, I think you are much smarter than them. At least you know not to act so close to the military school."

"By the way, I forgot to inform you. Last night, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Knights, we got news from within the Military School. In two weeks, it seems that the students of the prey group will have a joint mission. "As if they finally couldn't bear it any longer, the woman with bright blond hair and the other three people, including Milton, all laughed at the same time.

"I'm really sorry, because you guys are not here, so...hahaha...but we think it's not too late to tell you and Reza and the others now."

"Bang!" Trono stood up and smashed a section of the conference table into pieces with his clenched fist.

"Milton! Cyprit!"

"Here he is, he's here." Cyprie's serious expression could not hide the extreme excitement in her heart. She raised her head and glanced at Trono, "Milton and I have already reminded you, and said there is no need to worry. Yes. You can’t listen to yourselves.”

"So it has nothing to do with us." Milton continued. He stood up and stretched his body. "This conference table seems to be quite expensive. Before the Knights Logistics Department finds out, I think you should put it as soon as possible." It would be better if he repaired or replaced it.”

Adelaide and Welch had just returned from the family's laboratory area, and the stopped rain made them feel much better.

"Ovelia is in good condition. A lot of the proliferative tissue has been removed again. I think that in less than a month or two, Professor Lista will be able to start a more comprehensive treatment for Ovelia. It's gone." Welch walked aside and sighed. Among the recent news, only the improvement in Ovelia's situation could make the two of them feel a little happy.

"Don't be too optimistic. In my eyes, I can accept that the family's intentions change at any time." Adelaide thought more than Welch. In his opinion, Astus has become more and more silent over the millennia, which is inseparable from the upper-level managers.

Back at his house, Welch took out two glasses from the cabinet, filled them with wine, and then handed Adelaide a glass, when there was a knock on the door.

He is one of the people who came back from the outer reaches of the extreme area. He is tall and thin and wears a pair of thin-framed glasses. He held a piece of information in his hand, which seemed to be investigation information from several people. He walked up to the two of them and handed the information to Adelaide.

"Mr. Adelaide, Captain Welch, there is new news about Ye Jielin's alliance." The tall and thin man said, and indicated that the two of them had better read the information first.
