Steel steam and flame

Another meeting involving many officials of the king's forces and the army was held three days later. Before that, Weimer had sent back most of the information inside the mine. Although there was not a single photo involving the armor, the individual huge parts in the photos, as well as the weapon configurations that ordinary machines could not use, also revealed that Can guess something.

Of course, the process was not very good, and the subsequent exploration of the mine was not smooth. The security is tighter than before. Of course, there is no problem for Cassia to sneak in alone, but Wimmer is also a mechanized surgeon. The metal detection equipment in the hands of the patrol is inevitably fatal to people like them. .

Start by sneaking in from above the mine and successfully photograph the anti-aircraft weapon launch pad there. But there is nothing that can be done about the steam furnace and its internal storage location.

After that, Weimer had to ask his client from the king's forces to issue an order for mercenaries and bounty hunters to cooperate with some of his men to explore the old mining area the next night. But the actual purpose is just to attract most of the attention so that he and Cassia can sneak into the mine more smoothly.

Cassia notified Hessler in advance and asked him to help the mercenaries and bounty hunters as much as possible. The more of them who survive, the better they can draw the attention of the group of imperial surgeons and prevent them from being overly aggressive. spread. Because they currently know best and have control over it, they are the only ones, and a few of Weimer's subordinates.

With Hesslie standing by to create obstacles, and Wimmer following Cassia's reminder, he changed the communication method and hidden temporary location that afternoon, and the personnel losses were within an acceptable range. After all, the opponent not only has a team of rebel surgeons, but also people from the empire are involved. Just as Cassia guessed, just a temperature sensing ability is enough to cause mercenaries and bounty hunters to encounter huge trouble. Fortunately, Hessler gave timely reminders, and after using some basic coping methods, the situation began to improve.

But by then, the rebel army's attack had arrived. I had never encountered it before. It wasn't until it appeared that I realized that when people exceed a certain limit, limited surgeons are not only responsible for assaults and special destruction of certain important points, but in this kind of battle with the clear sound of bullets flying everywhere. , unable to cooperate effectively, delaying the enemy's effective encirclement while evacuating safely, leaving only death for themselves.

Fortunately, the rebel forces did not use heavy artillery or weapons such as artillery. At most, it was a platinum gunpowder bomb with a small yield. The sound caused in this way can be naturally reduced to very small after leaving the old mining area. After being absorbed by the slag piles dug up outside the old mining area and the natural hilly areas, the sound that can be transmitted to the ears of ordinary people around is infinitely close to zero.

All casualties occurred during the evacuation. According to Hessler, the main force of the Imperial surgeons and rebel forces rushed to the mining area from the gathering towns at that time. The price was that all three mercenaries remaining in the gathering town died after being interrogated.

Relying on Hessler's strength alone, only a small group of people who originally rushed over would be delayed. But here, not only Hessler himself, but also Cassia also misjudged the current situation. Compared to the mercenaries, bounty hunters, and the king's reinforcements like Wimer, the other party seemed to be much more interested in Hessle.

Most of the people were separated to pursue Hessler, but not many people actually rushed to intercept Harrington's evacuation. It's just that there is a huge discrepancy between strength and surgical development project capabilities. Harrington and the others have no experience in dealing with surgeons with surgical development projects, so some judgments in the battle can directly cause their injuries. Originally, he should have died directly, but the alloy block in his body finally worked at this time.

Reflected in excellent defensive performance. Many shots of vital parts only open the skin, and the impact will cause injuries to the organs and bleed, but it is not fatal to the surgeon's constitution in a short period of time. Some people whose skulls were mostly replaced with alloy cavities simply fell into coma after their heads withstood the impact of several platinum bullets. Although these unconscious people all died on the way to escape due to the enemy's follow-up shots.

During this period, Cassia took Wimmer to explore the locations of two steam furnaces and several peripheral storage warehouses. Along the way, they also discovered several rest areas for troops stationed in the mines. Routes are planned in real time based on previous data and temporary sound wave detection. Because you can't be discovered by enemies on the road, it takes a lot of time. Just because Hessler joined the battle, it really attracted too much attention beyond everyone's expectations.

Later, on the next day, Cassia and the others learned that when the battle in the old mining area started that night, work in the mining area was suspended for various reasons, and all staff were evacuated in less than half an hour. No one knows what happened in the old mining area except them and the rebel forces. And it was at this moment that Cassia suddenly figured it out on the way to rescue Hessler. Among them, during the exploration process, Wimmer used words with other intentions to test and inquire from time to time.

Weimer wanted to ask for information about the general team behind Cassia, as well as some information about the imperial surgeons on the opposite side. Cassia was inspired by this, and the king's forces seemed to regard him and Hessler as members of a large army in the empire. And there seem to be quite a few such troops in small countries recently.

So after thinking about it, Cassia had a rough guess about the surgeons of the rebel forces - a team of surgeons led by knight attendants within the empire. Thinking of Ye Jielin who went to the gray area, it was not unusual for a knight attendant to come here to perform a mission.

The tentative words were all what King Nomosa told Weimer to do. After the meeting that night, Charlotte received contact from the district chiefs from the Chil Kingdom, that is, the communication personnel in charge of each region in the organization.

There was only one important piece of news. The doctor who had performed facial replacement and complete plastic surgery on him and several other subordinates had definitely lost contact two days ago. As for whether he died or not, the progress of the follow-up investigation remains to be seen. It's just that during this period, they couldn't get in touch with the organization's secret communications. Apart from life-threatening emergencies, they couldn't think of anything else that could cause this phenomenon.

The liaison area director told Charlotte to be careful, because within a few days, even if all members of the organization buried their heads and hid themselves in shadows and darkness, someone would still find them.

"Next to the Kingdom of Chil, in the neighboring Kingdom of Erno, the general administrator of the organization has died. Now the organization is still hesitant to send people with serial numbers to investigate the actual situation. Because the actual general administrator Shang is also a person with a serial number, and his strength and brain are very good. There is no pickiness about his identity. So the conclusion is drawn..."

"You know, there have been disagreements among the senior staff for a long time. Anyway, be careful. I applied for the maximum protection you can get with your current status, as well as the maximum amount of funds. This will all come to you in a few days. in the hands."

"In addition, someone asked me to bring you a message - say goodbye to the dead Thor for me. She said she was a friend you and Thor hadn't seen for a long time."

"'Red Glow',,,Sir,,," Amidst the electronic noise of disconnected communication, Charlotte thought for a long time before realizing who "she" was.

Admira Arcaino, a person who he and Sol once admired.
