Steel steam and flame

"It's been about a day since Stian and the others set out. With the speed of the airship and the overloaded sailing, they should have arrived in the Meselia area by now, right?" Theodore also smiled, and he poured oil for Il Manjiu asked, "Milton and the others may retreat soon, or there may be no chance to retreat at all. But if they lose the enemy's traces and want to catch him again, they have to wait until the first day of the military school soon." This is a joint mission.”

"They've probably arrived. Even if they haven't, I think they can still see Messelia under the night sky." El replied, "There's no need to worry about this. The prey didn't choose to break through Milton's encirclement in the scaly state, except for that This state cannot last long, and besides having many side effects, there is another possibility.

"It must be the latter. The prey is not an ordinary surgeon. Even if the scaly state lasts for a short time, with the blessing of that state, I think it is enough to break out of the encirclement. He did it on purpose. A trick to show Milton and the others. After all, most people will definitely think that way, and the second stage of the surgery seems to have lowered Milton's own vigilance."

Theodore revealed El's true thoughts: "It's stalling for time. I think it's unlikely to be to eliminate the side effects of the scaly state. It should be waiting for something, most likely the prey's own subordinates, or... People from the alliance came. After all, Milton's strength is indeed not very good, but the foundation of the three-stage surgery is there, as well as the power of the Knights and the Temple itself. They want to kill Milton, Reza and his group. In addition to relying on personal strength, it only depends on quantity and mature cooperation."

"But there is a question here. The situation in the alliance where the prey is located is not very good right now. Is it impossible to wait until allies can compete with Milton and his party?"

"It is indeed impossible." El said affirmatively, "The boss of the alliance where the prey is located seems to be Ye Jielin of the Webley family, but since she returned to the family, she has been forced to impose a ban on going out. Now even the military school None of them can go back. As the intelligence chief, Atuohuan seems to have been summoned back by his own family, and he can't get out either. Along with everyone else in the alliance, they are completely surrounded because of the relationship between Webley and the Adam family. In school, there is no chance to come out."

"It seems to be very involved, and there is information in it that we don't know." El looked at Boyce, "Captain..."

No further words were said, but Boyce knew what El meant.

"I don't know either." Boyce looked like he didn't want to ask me. "The mission was given to me directly by the leader. In terms of information, we all know exactly the same. But a few friends told me a little bit. something else."

Boyce raised his glass, and Il raised his glass as well as Theodore. After drinking, Boyce continued his words: "After issuing this mission, the two captains, together with the knight commander and several other just The captains who came back from the southern forest all went out together. It seems that they have important things to deal with. I don't know if there is any connection, but just don't say you heard it from me." Boyce smiled. .

"Joining a knighthood like Rose and Rose has its advantages and disadvantages. Resources, status, and wealth are their advantages. As long as they do things according to the orders of the knighthood and do not violate the rules or tasks, many things will fall into place. Someone is holding it up. But the downside... you know in your heart, everyone squeezed their heads to get in here, not for the glory of the knights in the ancient times that has long since disappeared. You are the same, I am the same, the knight commander above, The same goes for the two captains. So when it comes to important or uncertain things, you have to do it carefully, and you must not violate even any inconspicuous rule."

"I guess I understand, thank you Captain Boyce." Il and Theodore spoke at the same time.

"I have tried several methods, but still can't get in touch. If the big family wants to block the news, we have no chance." Bota said to Sotagang in front of him, "Don't even think about the internal affairs of the military school. , there is no way to get in. The security there is even tighter than that of Ye Jielin’s family.”

Sighing, Sotagang stood up: "It's better to maintain the current status and keep those teams on standby so that they can set off at any time. Also, have you collected any important information about Cassia? It refers to many aspects. .”

"It will probably disappoint you." Berta smiled, "It would be better to handle the transaction at hand as much as possible, I think. As for Cassia and Ye Jielin, with our current strength, it is impossible to be of any help."

He hadn't smoked in a long time. He looked at the almost burning cigarette butt between his fingers and thought, when was the last time he smoked? He seemed to have forgotten it a long time ago. At least it was a few years ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to recall the temporary numbness this thing brings to my body. Although he knew that this thing did not bring him any substantial feelings, it was more of a psychological effect.

"Bie, let's start. The principal and a few people from the management ask you to go in quickly." Xemiah walked over, holding the document in his hand. At this time, the voice disappeared, leaving only the rhythm of his lips, "It didn't succeed, the surroundings It’s full of people, there’s no communicator, and if my guess is correct, we are the only people in this building who are having the meeting. I don’t think the news can be conveyed until the matter is completely over.”

"I can imagine this kind of result." Borde's face looked calm, "I just don't know how long these boring meetings will last."

Bei turned around and made a small voice, as if he didn't care what he said would be heard by others: "I still didn't think about it perfectly enough. I didn't expect that when the 'pre-war filing' took effect, the military department would also I made such a compromise. The principal even came here personally to hold me back with these unnecessary meetings. I always thought that I was just a nobody with no name, but I didn’t expect to have such value."

"A little person?" Himya followed him and chuckled, "A general in the empire and the military is not a little person. I have not experienced the last war, but there are many people in my family who survived the last war. Everyone is deeply impressed by you. Without the support of the military, I think the current situation is not that we are meeting here quietly, but that we are locked up somewhere waiting for the final It worked out.”

"I hope your people can complete the mission." Himya sighed.

"Don't have high hopes. You were right next to me at the time. You saw it and you can no longer contact that person."

Bordeaux shook his head in distress: "Now we can only look at Macquarie. But if something like this happens, it will not only let us know, but at least let more people see clearly the current situation of the four forces in the empire. In terms of attitude, the majority are still neutral.”
