Steel steam and flame

The danger that exists only lies in the depths. The empire has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to develop the vast area of ​​​​the southern forest from a very early stage, but the harvest has been very small. When a progressive breakthrough was made, it was hundreds of years after the establishment of the empire. An Avalon research team that was often stationed there developed a post-Regon time that surpassed platinum gunpowder based on substances extracted from the southern forests. inside. The military finally had the right to speak in terms of individual military force. From then on, the empire may have truly embarked on the path of developing the southern forests.

But so far, the places that the empire's large forces control the most are the deeper parts of the southern forest. As for the core area, except for some powerful surgeons, no one can enter it and come out alive. Developing resources requires a large number of people and machinery. Compared with a small number of surgeons, it cannot meet the needs of a huge country like the empire.

Of course, in the entire Houxiang Continent, the only ones that can achieve the current state of the empire are the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance. The gap with the Far Sea Commonwealth is almost non-existent, but because of the special structure of the Flame Alliance, they are a small distance ahead in the development of the southern forest.

It's just that it still hasn't been able to bring its country's development team completely into the depths of the forest. The people who can still be stationed there are, like other extreme areas, a team composed entirely of high-quality surgeons. And the purpose is not to develop resources, but to maintain real-time information monitoring, at least to prevent the small controllable area of ​​​​the southern forest from suddenly losing its control. All kinds of resources collected to complete the mission naturally only serve the high-level officials of each country.

The mission of the military school this time is related to the resource development team. Due to some unverified reasons, a resource collection station stationed in the outer area of ​​the southern forest all year round was attacked by some of the second-class creatures, and most of them were gregarious second-class creatures. This time, all students from Samsung Academy were used to jointly carry out this task, probably for this reason.

The task time given is two months. The students participating in the task not only need to get rid of the second-class creatures that have spread out of the collection station, but also have a clearly proposed bonus project to find out this second-class creature. The reason why humanoid creatures will move out collectively in large areas.

My own tutor and the zoology teacher at the military school once said that for a long time, without any special reasons, type II creatures would not take the initiative to step outside the extreme areas. Although reports of Category II creatures running out of extreme areas are submitted to the empire's special operations agencies every year, statistically speaking, just like everyone catches a cold from time to time, the number is not enough to attract attention.

After checking the time, Ye Jielin left the dormitory and went to a training ground, where Atuohuan and Selmer were already waiting. It was not easy to encounter such a task when I was a student in a military school. There are dozens of students from Samsung Academy in the alliance. This may be their first and last time to complete a task together as students.

The only regret is Cassia. Ye Jielin and the others still had a chance to complete the task in person, but when Hessler came to Manoma, he already made it clear that Cassia would not come this time.

The family ban caused a lot of alliance work to be delayed. This meeting lasted for a long time. After solving the problems left over from the past, it began to focus on the tasks that would start tomorrow. Of course, there is also the implication of waiting for news about Cassia.

At dawn, Atuohuan finally received the contact, but it didn't get the result they wanted. One night was not enough time to summarize the intelligence information they had left behind and find out some key points from it.

"Let them continue to monitor the surrounding area, and find out as soon as possible whether the people from Adelaide and the Rose and Knights are still in Manoma. If not, remember to notify me in time. I will I can get through the contact you send at any time.”

Atuohuan looked at Ye Jielin helplessly and shook his head.

"Still unable to contact Delya and Sotagon, it's probably the same result. Cassia has a communication machine with her, but she doesn't keep it with her at all times."

"Then we don't have to wait anymore. Waiting for the enemy to attack, we might as well take the initiative. And I'm also worried that the situation will be like what you said, and we will be one step slower than the enemy." Ye Jielin stood up and looked at the top of her head. The protective glass with a little white light said, "The location of this mission is in the southern forest, separated from the Borghese region where Cassia is located by a continuous mountain range, but with the help of an airship, we can get there in four or five days." . Within one night, the handover of weapons, equipment and airships should be completed."

"Let them set off and stop and rest near Borghese. That way they can better complete the emergency support." Ye Jielin looked at Atuo Huan, "It is considered a long journey, and it can also allow the crew to Be familiar with these airships. But the necessary camouflage needs to be done well, and the route must be chosen to go to the southern forest. The enemy must also have a professional intelligence team, and I don’t want the enemy to detect Cassia’s location because of us. approximate location."

"For other things, we can only wait until the intelligence information comes out and then make temporary adjustments. Remember to always try to contact Cassia. If there is an emergency, whether he is willing or not, we have to stop the mission midway and rush over."

"Eldest sister Lin, the knight attendant assessment after the mission..." Atuohuan expressed his worries, "If the worst happens, I think eldest sister Lin and a few people will stay to continue the mission. Serge and I will Just keep silent."

Ye Jielin shook her head with a smile and glanced at the people around her: "I can't worry about Cassia, nor can I worry about you. I still know how capable you are. And let me tell you one thing. After this mission, It is certain that we will graduate from the military school early. When we enter the real empire, the first and most important thing is to change our mentality as soon as possible. You need to remember that the internal and external policies of the military school are It’s different in the empire. There are big differences. In the military school, you may be able to complete tasks alone by your own abilities. But when you enter the empire, no matter where you are, please remember that you are part of the alliance. members."

"In other words, you must not forget to contribute to the development of the alliance, and you must not forget to ask for what you deserve from the alliance. Whether it is money, power, or strength. The second point is particularly important. This is a mutual relationship. You The strength of the alliance is the strength of the alliance, and the strength of the alliance is also the strength of you. And if you think about it carefully, you can also find that several of the school's missions have a bit of specialness. Entering the empire, if you want to encounter this kind of comparison again' The chances of a single enemy will become much less. The forces in the empire rely on various cobwebs to survive, and any small place may involve a huge network of relationships. There will be almost no difficult enemies. It will be a one-person situation, and even if there is one, it is largely a situation that is extremely powerful and cannot be solved by ordinary forces alone."

"After all, outside of school, we are constantly making trouble for others and being made trouble by others. There is never any peace in the group circle where people like us exist."
