Steel steam and flame

Finally, a main member came, Croni thought. Although he was the vice-captain of a small team, he was far inferior to the original strength of the knight's attendants. I know some information about the knight squire who led the army. He is Macdonald of the Astus family. Patrick was the person he took with him when he participated in the knight squire assessment mission. It is said that he contributed a lot to hunting ferocious creatures. . Croni didn't know the specific situation. He knew that there was a detailed information about the knight squire assessment task, but he was not able to obtain it with his own means and ability.

At this time, I felt that things would be much easier to handle later on. Reinforcements from the king's forces would arrive in a few days, and the same was true for his own side. But Croney never believed that surgeons from such small countries would become a threat. He was still worried about the two imperial surgeons who currently had no detailed information.

This message was also informed by the Knight Commander to Lieutenant Colonel Cromwell. More than half an hour later, Croney received a communication from the Lieutenant Colonel, hoping to get some information about Patrick from him in advance.

Finally, when asked about the situation of the group of mercenaries and bounty hunters, Croni told them that everything was under control, and they were just waiting for bigger prey to slowly approach the set net.

At the same time, there was a huge cavity in the mine network. This is one of the most completely transformed places. There are no rock structures around, and everything is covered with steel to build a platform. The three armors were fixed by steel brackets and stood, and nearly a hundred people were surrounding them, either adding new parts to the main frame, or debugging the input fixed programs next to the analysis machine to ensure that the actual There will be no crashes when running.

Lieutenant Colonel Cromwell stood on the tour-like platform, and the head of the armor was exactly level with it. Next to him is the chief engineer responsible for assembling the armor. At this moment, he explains the specific progress and the difficulties encountered so far. He was looking to Cromwell for help in resources and personnel.

A lot of power and resources were invested in it, and this phenomenon seemed to become an uncontrolled torrent. Cromwell agreed to all the chief engineer's requests as long as they were not particularly excessive.

"The leader can't wait. The king's forces have been very active in preparing for war recently, so the leader said that he hopes to speed up the progress no matter what method is used. He cannot wait until the war starts. They are still a pile of fixed steel. structure."

"Understood, we are now pushing forward with all our strength." The chief engineer said, "It won't take long. The main problem in the final stage is the debugging of various institutions. There is not enough space here, and it is a bit difficult to get feedback data. .”

"Then find a way, this is your domain!"

Looking at Cromwell's back, the chief engineer felt helpless. He turned his gaze to the armor in front of him and sighed. Without a complete set of information, relying only on some incomplete information, trying to complete it into a complete armor is not as simple as imagined. A good thing is that it relies on various mechanisms to assemble each other. A bad thing is that the entire armor is reversely derived based on only the core. So far, he still doesn't know the specific functions of some of the many output steam pipelines on the super vapor compression core.

We have to take our time, the chief engineer thought. But worry and fear coexist in my heart. He knows that he is currently facing a turning point, which involves himself and his group of engineers and technicians. Although it is a bit excessive when it comes to life, as a technician, you may not be respected wherever you go, but at least relying on the things in your head, you can save your life in most cases. However, if the actual test machine of the armor cannot be assembled before the ideal timeline in the leader's mind, most people in this cavity will most likely lose their freedom for a long time to come.

Cassia missed work again, but he was ready not to go back to work. In one night, he had completely searched the mine and its surroundings. Except for three new anti-aircraft weapon launch platforms, he still could not find the most important air defense base.

Completely exclude it from the surrounding mine, so I don't plan to stay here anymore. After letting Hessler continue to explore the structure and storage location inside the mine, he bought a ticket to the nearest city early that morning. Two hours later, the long-distance train arrived at the station amidst the drowsiness of everyone. After Cassia checked into the hotel, she went to the nearest bookstore and library to check the map information.

Clues can only be found from the various facilities and energy sources needed by the air defense base. Transportation is also an important part, and these are all taken into consideration by Cassia. Of course, the biggest advantage of coming to the nearest city is that you can connect with the dark world of this area. There are intelligence dealers there who are not controlled by the rebel forces, and they can quickly obtain the information Cassia wants.

A map with the mine as its approximate center quickly expanded and improved as Cassia read more books. Like a group of prospectors working together to draw a topographic map, what Cassia saw was filtered by his extremely fast brain, and added bit by bit to the panoramic map in his head.

Industrial areas, rapidly developing or backward towns. In recent years, the projects carried out in this area, the construction of public buildings, road construction, unreasonable uninhabited areas, higher terrain locations, large amounts of transportation Network etc. At night, Cassia integrated the information obtained from the intelligence dealer. After adding and reducing some suspicious locations, a map with markings and target priority determined was completely solidified in his head.

Without taking immediate action, Cassia finished dressing, drank a few glasses of warm water, and looked at the time. It was already three o'clock in the morning. The always overflowing spirit finally became tired at this moment. Cassia exhaled, took a shower, and lay on the bed to rest.

Even so, the mental recovery was extremely rapid. Although he was in a semi-sleep state, six hours later, Cassia opened her eyes in sync with the clock. It was a rare good weather outside. Cassia went to the hotel front desk and checked out of the room, walked a remote route on foot, and began to spend more time exploring the identified target.

There are a total of twenty-three locations, which cannot be completed in one day. But the time was calculated just right. When he returned to gather in the town, it would be the fastest time for the reinforcements sent by the king's forces to arrive here. If it doesn't differ much from your own guess, you can catch up no matter what.

"The place where the last sighting was said to be is in this area." The speaker opened the map and showed it.

"How long ago was the last sighting? Why don't I remember this information in the document?" He said in a confused tone, as if he didn't believe that he had seen it wrong.

"It said that he appeared here two years ago because he handed over something to another unknown person."

"Two years ago!"
