Steel steam and flame

Cassia didn't say much, and Waters wouldn't ask much. This was a common sense question, and Waters' experience told him this. And this matter is very important. He has never received many orders and tasks from Cassia. He still remembers the previous ones clearly. From the tone of voice, Waters knows how to deal with them.

In the afternoon, Waters selected the candidate, and after the explanation, he rushed to the mines in the Chil Kingdom with part of the activation funds. Some preparatory work takes time. In the Kingdom of Chil, mining of minerals roughly consists of two parts. Most of it is mined by the Qil Kingdom itself and is considered a public resource of the country, which is used to fill the fiscal amount of money. Another small part is contracted out to other companies, and they are carried out by collecting high taxes from them.

Waters is familiar with the officials here, and it is probably those outsourced companies that have a breakthrough.

Cassia did not have high expectations for collecting strange texts. On the one hand, those things were not easy to dig out and required luck. On the other hand, he only knew the value they represented, but they were all hidden. . If you don't use it well, it will cause unnecessary trouble for yourself.

In the next few days, what Cassia did was go back and forth to the library in Miklos, borrowing and returning a large number of books. During this period, Waters also sent over the first batch of information about the rebel forces. It’s just that there is very little information about the mining areas where the Warframe exists.

"The alert level there has been increased. It's better to go there early, as we are worried that they will move their positions and move away a few armors." Hessler said this after returning from training every day. After finding his prey, the daily training was no longer enough to satisfy him. He originally wanted to practice with Cassia, but since Cassia trained with him once that day, Hessler stopped looking for Cassia.

I don’t know why my strength has grown so much after not seeing each other for more than a year. Hessler thinks that he is immersed in fighting every day here, and he has greatly improved compared to himself who just came here. But once I had the correct reference, I found that my speed was still slow.

Cassia has always responded to Hessler with "no rush". Waters' data shows that a large amount of materials are still being transported to the mining area. An internal war is very likely to break out in the near future. It is not easy to assemble the supporting machines needed for the armor. Transfer equipment. It is unlikely that the rebel forces will move the armor away, but it is certain to increase the defense force there.

On this day, Cassia woke up early and it was still dark outside. The clock said it was four o'clock in the morning. It wasn't that he got up early or that he couldn't sleep. Cassia had no sleep a long time ago. The state of semi-sleep can only be called the most efficient rest. During that period, the brain can still function and think. I don’t know what it feels like to dream anymore, Cassia suddenly thought when she woke up.

When it got light, Cassia left the small building alone, bought breakfast, and spent nearly two hours walking to the factory. Today, there were things he asked Delya to bring, half of which were more useful weapons. The general-purpose firearms in the Chil Kingdom are very different from those within the empire. It's about regional adaptability. As for the most common fire guns, the weight and stability of the firearms here are not as good as the standard standards in the empire. It can be said that since Waters came here with Webley's technology, it has probably become the highest standard for the quality of weapons and firearms in the Chil Kingdom.

The other half is carefully organized information. Some things that cannot be explained well in communications are described in written form by Delyadu. According to Cassia himself, he does not want to be disconnected from the empire and can better adjust his steps based on real-time dynamics.

Entering the factory through the small door at the back, Cassia followed the memory and walked straight to Waters' office. The buzzing sounds of various machines surrounded my ears. The automated assembly line is full of golden bullets, and the packaging area is just behind the assembly line. Employees in work clothes of different colors are doing their job. Compared with other weapons production factories, the wages and benefits here are much higher.

Cassia may have meant that she had stayed in the steam factory for a long time and there was still something left in her heart.

The sound made Cassia see the early morning of the day, and there were more than a dozen people gathered in the conference room next to Waters. When they were twenty or thirty meters away, the meeting ended with more than a dozen people standing up. You can see them shaking hands, and it seems that they have reached a business contract that satisfies both parties.

The door to the conference room opened at this time, and Waters and two others walked out first. Cassia pretended to be a worker in the factory who came to work in the morning, and stood to the side of the aisle with a little respect, waiting for a few people to walk by.

When Waters saw Cassia, he nodded slightly as a greeting. Cassia had told Waters before that it was best not to let others know about the relationship between the factory and him.

The other two were obviously much younger than Waters. Although they suppressed their bodies, Cassia could detect their auras. That is the general nature of the surgeon. Without long-term training and proprietary methods, at close range between similar people, as long as the perception is sharp, one can feel the general strength of the other party. It's not a bad idea to say it's about vision.

Both were three-stage operators, one of whom Cassia had seen in the information Waters gave him. One is a senior official in the Army Logistics Department and the other is a fresh face.

After a casual glance, Cassia's eyes briefly stopped on the face of one of them. Because he was standing to the side, Cassia could clearly observe the side face of the other man. The sight automatically stores the things seen in that brief period of time into the brain in the form of clear photos.

Along the man's hairline, then below the earlobe, to the point where the jaw connects to the neck, although the sutures are fine due to the surgeon's skill, and due to the self-healing ability, no scars will be left at all, but Cassia It still feels like there is an irregular line there that needs to be worn away with time.

The face was completely removed and then reattached to the surgically completed face. This idea immediately appeared in Cassia's mind. Cassia herself felt strange as to why she thought so. He walked to Waters' office and sat down. When Waters came back a few minutes later, he was still in a state where he seemed to have no clues.

"Captain." Waters came in and said.

"Who was that fresh face just now, the newly promoted official from the Kingdom of Qi'er?"

"I haven't seen it either. Maybe it's because of the internal war, the newly selected talented people, right?" Waters was not sure and answered in a tentative tone.

"New face?" Cassia murmured to himself, and something passed through his head at this time. He remembered an incident on the way to the Kir Kingdom and made a connection.
