Ember Gun

  Chapter 703 Unlucky Ghosts

In the empty and huge workshop, the harsh noise is constant. On one side of the rail, one after another original sin armor is hung, and they are dragged into the preparation platform in front, under which there are several railroad tracks. The modified armed iron The snake was already waiting here, and the carriage was cut open, replaced by an icy bracket, holding up the armor of original sin listed one after another.

  Like an automated assembly line, after the assembly was completed, the technicians sent a signal to the command platform. They opened the heavy gate, and then the armed iron snake slowly moved on, dragging the heavy armor and heading towards the next destination.

"continue!"

  A sound was broadcast, with a messy electric current, a new round of armed iron snakes drove in from the other end of the workshop, waited for assembly, and then left.

  The Horn of Raging Waves has been turning at full speed since the old Dunling was injured. They have shifted shifts to keep this place at work at all times, and now they are able to deal with Merlin's needs.

  Complex mechanical facilities are operating stably. Crude oil is refined and processed into flammable paint antimony, which is then poured into oil tanks marked with warnings, piled together, and transported in a unified manner.

  They are accumulating strength, as if they are about to start another war.

   "How are you preparing?"

Merlin walked into the atrium covered with iron dust. The air was muddy and hot and full of rust. Merlin put on a mask, which made him feel better. Then, amidst the rumbling noise, the technician in charge here, Coming in front of you.

  "You can go anytime."

  The welcoming technician stretched out his hand and shook Merlin firmly, "It's been a long time, Chief Chief."

  Merlin took a closer look at the guy in front of him, and then said in surprise.

   "Huh? It's Aika, I thought you died in that rainstorm."

   "How is it possible, I was transferred here a long time ago," Ai Ka said with a slightly confused expression, "You are not forgetting me."

   "No... who are they?"

  Fortunately, Merlin has a facial paralysis, and wearing a mask, he perfectly hides his embarrassment and tries to divert the topic away.

  Aika paused for a while, then sighed helplessly.

Merlin looks young, but everyone who comes into contact with him knows that he is actually an old guy. As the technical director of the perpetual pump, he has brought many technicians and dispatched them one by one. The people he has contacted are too many. That's too much, and Aika has no particularity, it's normal to be ignored by him.

   But normal is normal, Ai Ka is still a little unhappy.

"them?"

  Aika followed Merlin's direction and looked at the two people behind him. Judging from the clothes, they seemed to be not technicians.

   "Are they two?" Ai Ka said, "They are drivers, because they performed well in the rainstorm before, so they were included in this operation."

   "Dot."

   "Really."

  The two reported their names and saluted Merlin.

   "Well, I see," Merlin nodded, and then said, "Just as we planned, let's start. The sooner you go, the better."

   "Okay, this is the equipment list we call here, and there are some important weapons..."

  Aika picked up a form and introduced it to Merlin. After talking about it for a long time, he finally asked.

   "There are some others I'm not sure if you need..."

  "At this time, there is no need to be frugal. Everything that can be used is equipped," Merlin interrupted immediately, "This may be the last war. There is no need to hide it."

  Aika raised her eyebrows and replied.

"okay."

  "When your side is ready to set sail, take the iron snake to the port. We will wait for you there."

  "Will you walk with us?" Merlin asked again.

"How is it possible? Although I don't know what your specific actions are, but you can use so many things, it must be a hell-like war," Ai Ka looked at the form, prepared in his heart, but still couldn't help shaking. , "I can't go, I still need me here."

   "Looking at it this way, you two are really unlucky."

  Aika looked at Dort and Reri while speaking.

  In the removal of organs, because of the small number of war airships, there are not many pilots who can control war airships. Their number has been maintained at a low value. Moreover, they are high in the sky and there is almost no time to face monsters directly.

But in that heavy rain, erosion rolled up an invisible storm in the old Dunling, and most of the drivers were affected. Although there was antimemetic purification afterwards, many people still have many sequelae. .

  This time they will go deep into the place of the seven hills and directly face the well of sublimation. No risk is allowed, let alone the key position of the driver.

  In the selection of personnel, Merlin selected those who are themselves strong-willed and have certain resistance. After several selections, Dott and Reli attracted Merlin’s attention and were transferred here.

   "Unlucky? Are we?"

  Dotter and Reli looked at each other. In fact, they don’t know what task they are going to perform.

   "By the way, what do we need to do?"

   asked tentatively, he was very curious and very upset. As an ordinary driver, he had almost no chance to meet a person in charge like Ai Ka, let alone the chief technical officer Merlin.

   Feeling honored is on the one hand, but on the other hand is panic.

  Think about it carefully. You are just a grassroots worker. Perhaps because of the type of work, your working environment and salary are better than those who go out for business every day and chop around with demons.

  As a result, one day, your manager brought the company's number one person to see you, telling you that the company has an important mission to your grassroots employees, no matter what you think, there are problems in it.

If you want to break your head, there are at most two possibilities. Either you are the illegitimate child of the number one person, and your cheap daddy tells you that the time has come to inherit this huge family business, or the company has a very terrible job. Need the unlucky ghost to go to Thunder.

The more I thought about it, the worse I felt. Reli felt that he was not such a suspicious person before, let alone that he had such a bad idea about the cleansing mechanism. He recalled hard and realized that the deviation of his perception might come from several At a staff gathering a month ago, he heard a high-ranking knight at the next table complaining about it all the time.

  Ah... the memory gradually became clear, and Reli even remembered the code name of the high-ranking knight.

What is    called... Kestrel is here, right?

Aika also looked curiously. The primary project of the Horn of Raging Wave was originally to support the reconstruction of the old Dunling. However, after Merlin's order was issued, everything focused on supporting their actions. This mysterious action is better than reconstruction. Old Dunling is even more important.

  "Didn't Arthur tell you?" Merlin asked.

   "Arthur?"

  Hearing Arthur's name, the eyes of the two of them lighted up, and then they became more disturbed.

  From Merlin’s point of view, Arthur was originally responsible for telling them the specific situation, rounding up, this was a direct appointment from the company’s boss.

   "Is it convenient to disclose?"

  Probably the reason for not being involved in the action, Ika is even more curious.

  Merlin glanced at Ai Ka, then at the uneasy Reli and Dort, he sighed, and then said helplessly.

   "Sorry, this is too important to disclose too much, as for you..."

  Merlin looked at Dort and Reri, then at Aika, and asked hardly, "Are you free?"

   "Huh? Still...huh?"

  Aika wanted to say something, but in the end the words were all choked back, he waved his hand, and at the same time withdrew.

   "Okay, okay, I'm going to work on mine, you guys continue."

Ai Ka left here. As the person in charge here, he knew the assembly list that Merlin needed, and from these deadly assemblies, he smelled the smell of iron and blood, so he called Dort and Reli the unlucky ghosts. .

   "Which place could be so unlucky and be poured out by such firepower?"

  Aika muttered, looking a little expectantly at the track aside.

  The armed iron snake docked and left, transporting a steady stream of weapons to an unknown place. Aika knew what was there, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to have the opportunity to witness the moment it set sail.

  "Total length..."

   Seeing Aika's departure, Dort whispered to Merlin, the excitement and anxiety reached the extreme at this moment.

"To put it simply, we are going to fight a battle now, a very difficult battle," Merlin said uncertainly, dreaming of an unknown future. "We may win, but the greater possibility is that we will all die. There."

The two swallowed. They had heard this kind of words like pre-war mobilization many times, but this time the narrator was Merlin, and from Merlin’s cold facial paralysis, they couldn’t feel the passion of pre-war mobilization. On the contrary, it is like the doctor is announcing his death date.

   "We... will all die there?"

   "Yes, all will die, no one is spared."

  Melin suddenly thought of something. He approached the two of them, stretched out his hands, and put them on their shoulders.

   "Then there is such a thing now, the bad news is that you have a high probability of death."

   "Where is the good news?"

  Dott asked tremblingly.

  "Good news? The good news is that there are two determined co-pilots missing on the Sailing Dawn..."

  "Let’s go! Where is the airport! Where is the Sailing Dawn!"

   Before Merlin could finish speaking, Dort and Reli interrupted Merlin's words excitedly. They were like big dogs preparing to go out for a walk, happily planing the door, ready to rush out at any time, rolling in the mud.

   "No... wait, you might die."

  The two replied, but Merlin was a little confused. He thought that he was going to replace Arthur to do some psychological construction for the two, but the direction became strange.

   "Dead? That's the Sailing Dawn!" Reli screamed.

   "Yes! Toward Dawn!" Dutt repeated.

   "Today's most advanced war airship! It's so much bigger than conventional airships!" Reli shouted.

  "The most advanced! A big circle!" Dot repeated again, not forgetting to draw a big circle in the air with his hands.

   "Where is it! Where is it!"

  The eyes of the two people shined, and they sang and made peace.

  Merlin was in a complicated mood. Looking at the two people who were in the opposite state, he didn't know whether he should be happy or something else.

   "Ah... I started to wonder where Arthur had recruited such a group of people."

  Merlin whispered.

  ……

   "No stay, no rest, where are we going?"

  In the narrow carriage, Kestrel complained.

After getting off the train, a group of people walked into the industrial area with their luggage, and there was no time to rest. They boarded the armed iron snake again, walked through the towering steel giants, broke through the dust and sparks, and turned towards the unknown. The place goes forward.

   "I don't know, but stop complaining, Kestrel, you are really annoying."

  The Shrike sitting next to the Kestrel said, from the moment he got on the car, the Kestrel was chattering endlessly, and the Shrike wanted to sew his mouth.

"what……"

  Kestrel still listened to what the Shrike said, and couldn't complain, he made a low and long tone, as if he had been hanged, the only breath spit out from his throat endlessly.

  The sound reverberated in the compartments, the light was already dark, and the tired and serious faces of everyone, the atmosphere became more rigid and embarrassing.

   "Does anyone want to listen to a joke?" Kestrel said suddenly, "I am not complaining."

  Others ignored him, and Lorenzo, who was opposite, slowly raised his head, glanced at the Kestrel, and moved out of the car window.

"Alright alright."

  Kestrel sank down, leaning back in his chair, waiting for the arrival of the destination.

  The scenery outside the window gradually opened up, the steel jungle disappeared, and replaced by a vast sea, gray-black, canine-tooth-like reefs, tearing the waves to pieces.

   "I think, I probably know who the'old friend' is."

  In the long silence, Lorenzo said suddenly.

  The others raised their heads and looked at Lorenzo, only to hear Lorenzo continue.

   "We need to go over the sea, time is pressing, we need a clipper, a clipper that can carry a lot of weapons."

  This is really an old friend, and Lorenzo couldn't help but smile a little on his face.

   "I don't know how it was repaired."

  "Fortunately, although the armor and firepower facilities have not been repaired, other than that, they are the same as before, and the speed is not reduced."

  Merlin opened the door and walked over from the other carriage.

   "Arthur is already there waiting for us."

"What are you going to do, forcibly land? The journey from Feilengcui all the way to the place of the seven hills is a bit remote," Lorenzo questioned, "not to mention, it has no firepower facilities, we may even have a landing point. I can't grab it."

   "It's not necessary, it just needs to be close to Feilengcui, and there are other old friends who will take us there."

  Melin smiled, everything is in the plan.

   "Other old friends?"

   Lorenzo just wanted to ask something when a silhouette appeared above the sea level.

Familiar armor, sharp collision angles, and after the refurbishment and maintenance of the Mechanical Yard, Chenhui Advance galloped above the sea again, and this time, on the deck of the ship, numerous artillery and Ascalon disappeared. Instead, it was a huge nest built along the deck, which was like something tied up, firmly locking the behemoth to the Chenhui Advance.

   "Temporary transformation can't be done to this degree... After returning from Jihai, what did you do? Have you planned?"

   Lorenzo asked curiously.

  "It's just a mistake. Originally, we were planning to use it to end the world war."

  Merlin lowered his body and looked at the steel behemoths docked in the harbor with Lorenzo.

"The Chenhui Advance will break into the Shiraito Strait, and the heading Dawn on it will set sail when it is close to the coast and rise to high altitude. It uses antimony as a new fuel and has enough energy for us to float all the way to the capital of Gallunaro. , And blow it up."

  Merlin sighed and said helplessly.

   "It's a pity that this time, it's the place of seven hills."

  The Armed Iron Snake got closer and closer, and the picture in front of her became clearer. In the steel bird’s nest, the Sailing Dawn was docked in this narrow mobile airport, waiting for the moment to rise into the sky.
