Steel steam and flame

"Got it." Daniel stared at McDonald from behind, always having something to say that had nothing to do with the mission. Macdonald felt it and turned around, his eyes meeting Danielle's.

"What do you want to say?" Macdonald asked, and before Danielle could answer, he gave himself the answer, "It's obviously not worth it to do this for a woman. He is already a member of the Knights' Attendants, and his future potential will definitely be greater than Ovelia is a strong woman who is still in the second stage of surgery. Even though Ovelia was a dazzling character in that issue and in the previous and following issues, compared to myself, there is still more than ten years of hard work and accumulation."

"That's it, Danielle."

Danielle nodded expressionlessly and looked at McDonald, waiting for the follow-up.

"There are also many women among the knight attendants, Novia from the Meredith family, Ye Jielin from the Webley family, Lorraine from the Thoranston family...not to mention other forces, just us Astus The five knight attendants in the family, Mavis and Isabel, are all women. Daniel, do you think it is possible for me to work with them, or will the family level agree? It is impossible for the higher-ups not to interfere with these things. Can the family do this in the assessment? Getting the five knight squires is indeed a joyful thing, but it also creates huge trouble."

"Resource allocation issue." Daniel said.

McDonald nodded heavily: "Perhaps this is something that the family itself did not expect. After all, Mr. Zero and his team were not favored by others before the assessment began. They thought they were just a group of simple humanoid machines without thinking. But it changed later. Many people have realized that if one aspect is pushed to its limit alone, no matter which aspect it is, it will make people feel terrible.”

"For the new generation members within the family, although the resources will be adjusted according to the family situation, they will never fall out of the set default baseline. This is a dead rule and cannot be changed. Ovelia meets the requirements The current actual situation is also the most likely person to me. I haven’t told you yet, it’s confidential information, but you know I’m still relieved.”

"After the assessment, Ovelia was taken to the experimental base of Tovi Luest, the former leader of the Chira Andi family. I don't know the reason. But after I came back, I used my authority to investigate and found out her identity level They are actually the same as our five knight attendants.”

"It's interesting, isn't it? That's why I took this action. So the mission must go on, don't be afraid of wasting resources, treat it like a three-stage surgeon. What you lose now, you can make back in the future."

Hessler stayed in the city to rest, and Cassia returned to gather in the rented house in the town. The routine starts with checking the equipment, quantity, stability, and what is needed later, and making preparation plans.

Not long after finishing this, Wimer's communication came on time. Walking out of a residential area in the concentrated town, Cassia found the limo that picked him up on the road and got in it.

Weimer was in the driver's seat, and another man of similar age was in the passenger seat. Weimer immediately introduced that he was the captain of the second batch of reinforcements, named Evan. He was appointed in the special army of the king's force. He had always known each other, but he held the same rank in different teams. Weimer is responsible for the special operations force-like work in the empire, while Evan is more like a special agency, dealing with matters outside the king's internal affairs.

In the communication, Cassia secretly expressed some other meaning. After hearing it, Weimer naturally drove the limousine to the edge of the town, where the local aborigines gathered.

"The weapons and equipment should be installed, right?" Cassia asked looking out the window, ignoring Evan's normal observation gaze when they first met.

"That's what the news from the top said." Weimer replied, "Materials and personnel are being mobilized secretly. In order not to arouse the enemy's suspicion, the slow operation will take about a week. At this time next week, the offensive will The specific moment can be determined.”

"Evan and I have been informed that we will only have a few hours after the operation begins. The approximate time period is from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. I will be in charge of the air defense main base, and Evan will remove the three air defenses on the mine. Facilities. We need to be prepared and not exceed the final time point, otherwise it will have a great impact on the operation."

"Is the time a little short?" Weimer paused for a moment, then asked tactfully, "You can inform the upper management immediately. They also said that if possible, I hope Mr. Soriato will propose it. Reasonable suggestions.”

After thinking about the time it took to drive the limo back to the mine from the air defense base, Cassia nodded and said: "It's completely enough. You can discuss the specific matters yourself. Don't worry about me. It doesn't matter what you do. It won't affect you." I."

"But there's something I want to ask." Cassia asked.

Weimer smiled and said: "Mr. Soriato, you can ask questions if you don't understand anything, but please forgive me. It involves confidential matters stipulated by the superiors. Please understand."

"It should be a simple matter." Cassia's look told Weimer that he would not pick those places. "After the air defense system in the mining area and surrounding large areas is completely paralyzed, I don't know what the king's ground troops can do." How long will it take to start the general attack before arriving at the mine? This does not refer to the vanguard, but the kind of attack that will completely conquer the mine. Just rely on your own experience, Mr. Weimer, and it only takes an approximate amount of time."

"Soon, very soon." But it was Evan who interjected, "Using the given seven o'clock as the starting point, combat aircraft and bombing aircraft will take off together. It will take three hours to reach the sky above the mine. The first round of bombing and attack will take place at the same time. , the mobile force can be the first to break through the enemy's defense line in three hours. Then the armored force follows, and finally the other teams. The speed has been calculated. No surprise, the fastest is eighteen hours, and the slowest is twenty. In four hours, the total force,,,um,,,I estimate that about 80,000 people will be stationed around the mine. After the necessary rest, there will be a non-stop attack."

"Thank you, Mr. Evan, for your answer." Cassia narrowed her eyes, already having a rough plan and entry point for sneaking into the mine and carrying away the super vapor compression device. If Hessler recovers quickly enough, he should be able to catch up. As he was thinking to himself, the unhappy limo arrived at its destination after a journey of about twenty minutes.

The limousine stopped in front of a slightly larger two-story building. A sperm-like man wearing short sleeves came out, opened the iron fence door, and let the limousine park on the concrete open space in front of the building.
