Steel steam and flame

Resa and the others landed smoothly at the airport of this small city at the same time as another airship of similar size. They did not specially mobilize a general to land. Before coming here, the airship was also camouflaged. The logo on it and Some special parts have been processed, and it looks like a very ordinary merchant ship.

The group of people stepped off the airship in an orderly manner with their basic luggage. Except for some weapons, all their equipment was also placed on the airship. There are more than a hundred people in various costumes, all looking like businessmen or returning to their hometowns from other regions.

Someone received the news and waited at the airport in advance. When they saw Resa and Trono, they came up to them.

"Hello gentlemen of the Knights of the Rose and the Rose!" The person who came up was a young man. His words were indescribably warm and convincing. Ressa and Trono were both He immediately realized that this was someone from the church.

The Holy Church is in the Mesalia region, and it can be said that almost all those who were sent there were destroyed. After all, several commanders were killed, and only some squad leaders remained. According to the news from Stian, the Holy Emperor's Hall seemed to have urgently formed another team soon. This was not a difficult task for the Holy Emperor's Hall, which had no shortage of manpower.

"My name is Clexi. I am the person in charge of the temple team this time, and also a part-time commander. Because I got the news about Il and Theodore, I rushed here in advance." Clexi spoke very slowly and made a request. gesture, signaling the two to follow him. This time, the other members of the Knights followed their disguises and left the airport one after another, integrating into this small sub-frontier city.

"The place where I work is not very far from the Borghese area, so I came earlier." Clacy said while minding his own business, while leading Ressa and Trono out of the airport to the square in front. There was a very ordinary limo parked there, with a woman sitting in the driver's seat, who must be Clecy's assistant or something like that.

When you hold an important position in a church in a certain location, you will often have several assistants around you to help handle some affairs, as a kind of holy envoy.

"Hello, both of you, Miweijia." The woman opened the car door and said hello. After everyone entered the limo, she continued her words, "Mr. Clacy and I are from the same area, and we mainly deal with some chores. This This time I came here to accept the temple organization here in order to prepare for the next mission. I am very happy that we can cooperate here."

Resa and Trono were already familiar with the high efficiency and extremely high staff turnover rate of the Holy Emperor Hall. After all, among the four forces, except for the Holy Emperor's Hall, the other forces have different focuses due to their respective regions and areas of expertise, and the places where they are frequently active correspond accordingly. Compared to the temples scattered throughout the empire, other forces cannot compare to this.

"It's an honor, but in order to save time and ensure that the mission can proceed smoothly, these introductions can actually be dispensed with."

"But after all, this is our first meeting. Although there are all kinds of information sent from the Manoma headquarters, we actually don't know much about this mission." Miweijia's answer was a bit clever, and he was grammatical. Lacey's church officials had a completely different feeling, "You know that the prey once went back to the military school in Manoma, and the person who led the search at that time did not catch any clues. Thanks to you, we I know this. It’s just that the information is incomplete, and I’m here to greet you in order to complete the integration of data and intelligence as soon as possible.”

Cressy turned his head and looked at Resa and Trono: "We have completely taken over the church here. Because it is a small city, you need to enlarge the version on the map to find it, so the empire management The people in the agency are very cooperative. We have conducted an investigation based on the information given by Mr. Il and Theodore, and collected some things. I will trouble you to judge later."

"By the way, I have an inconvenient question. I want to know your firepower configuration this time, that is, the quality of your team."

"We don't know very well. Including the church personnel here, there are a total of seventy people. If ordinary people are excluded, there are less than forty."

Reza and Trono frowned at the same time, and their expressions changed. They were expressions of confusion and disbelief. All the information about Meselia should have been sent to the Holy Emperor's Hall.

"So we don't know, because there are less than 20 people brought by my church, and the remaining 20 people were sent to us by the Manoma headquarters on their own, nominally by me. I come to manage and command, but in terms of status, I don’t have that power. Do you know the classification of clergy in the church?”

The two nodded. The staff of the Holy Emperor's Hall were divided into two categories, one was civilian staff, and the other was a team composed of surgeons. Saints are the lowest-ranking incumbents, worse than reserve knights of the Order of the Rose and the Rose. At the preliminary stage of Holy Envoy, some of them have reached the level of preliminary knights. Then there are the black knights and the white knights. The local church officials, or the bishops and priests there, are a little higher than the white knights. After the white knight, there are the deacons. The standard line of the White Knight is basically the same as the official knight of the Order of Roses and Roses.

"They are a group of white knights. I don't know which category they belong to. After all, I have no right to ask. But I still know a little bit about the weapons. Although they only arrived today." Clacy smiled, "You guys When you arrived at the airport, you should have seen another airship landing at the same time, right? Inside was our weapon this time. But as for whether that airship counts, that will have to wait until we go back and get the actual documents. Only then can I give you the answer.”

The location was not in the local church, but in the residence of the church clergy. With a sacred atmosphere, perhaps only in such small places can churches have their true role.

"This city is not big, as is the case in border areas. You can drive through it in about half an hour. There is no dark world, but there are a few small black market middlemen. We have already interrogated them. Recently, , no suspicious person has contacted them, and they are only regular customers in business. So with the help of the National Defense Force and the Ministry of Public Security, we collected all airship passenger records at the nearest time node, as well as hotel and hotel occupancy records."

"And considering the time difference between the mission target disappearing from Manoma and appearing here, we believe that except for airships, even high-speed trains cannot meet his speed requirements. In addition, the air route in the Borghese area is used There are no airship flight records, and there is no registration application for a private airship, so after confirming that the prey came here by airship, we then investigated the purchase records of each limo, whether new or old. That’s fine. And the information also said that he was a gifted student at the military school. We even secretly checked a few repair factories here to determine if anyone had assembled a limo car with spare parts without permission.”

"Of course, we have also tracked his recent criminal records. As a surgeon, in such a sub-border area, it is very easy for a criminal to just grab a limo." Miweijia interjected. By then, I had already walked over with a thick stack of documents.

The document, which was twenty to thirty centimeters high, fell heavily on the table, and the "pop" sound was like the sound of the gavel hitting when the judge finally issued the verdict in the court.

"Finally we found a person who fully meets the above requirements. He is a traveler. He came here about 20 days ago, but is not here now." Miwejia then took out the map and spread it out. There was already a place marked on it. When we came out, we saw a continuous mountain range. "This volcanic no-man's land is our final location."
