Steel steam and flame

Patrick quickly retracted his dagger and caught the communicator. Cassia in front of him showed off his mechanical watch and pointed it at Patrick, as if he was worried that he could not count himself well in his current state.

The sound wave detection told Cassia that the man in front of him had injected himself with some kind of medicine, and the best proof was that the gray and white cuticles changed color. The texture is smoother and less rough than earlier. The keen insight reminds Cassia of Zero. In my memory, the only one whose whole body changed colors was No. 0. His scales merged into one, and then turned into a bright red like blood. The man's condition was far inferior to that of No. 0, but the changes in his aura were similar, leading to violence and mental uncontrollability. It looks like all kinds of animals with their hair blowing up after sensing danger.

The minute hand, which represents the final verdict, moves on the dial of the mechanical watch, and the circle drawn will eventually connect and overlap the starting point and the end point. Patrick stared at the person in front of him, and then his eyes returned to the watch that made a slight sound.

"If the cross pupil is not turned on, does that mean I have a chance now?"

Letting people give up their lives at will is a joke no matter how you look at it. Patrick was not the kind of person to give up until the end. It's just that even though the other person's eyes have dark pupils, his figure reflected in them looks so small. The pressure is much stronger than that of his captain McDonald, and there are differences between the two.

"Captain McDonald is oppressed by his high position. That's because I know the identity of the captain and his rights in the family. If you want to resist, you have to consider a lot of things. But what's in front of me, let me The feeling of oppression is only because I know in my heart the irreversible gap between the strength of the opponent and it is not affected by other factors."

"No, the effect after the injection of the medicine should allow me to exert almost 1.5 times my original comprehensive strength in a short period of time. The increase in strength and the increase in the hardness of the horny armor are about twice. ,"

Patrick couldn't understand, and he was a little afraid to think about it. It was like he had encountered a natural enemy now, and any movement he made had to rely on his head to give orders. When the opponent doesn't move, he can only deal with it by remaining still.

"He will plan his own death among the knight attendants. The other party is definitely planning a big plan. And the most important part of this plan is his own death. It can be seen from the fact that the family will send a team to investigate Come out, the enemy definitely has something that all the major forces want to get. In other words, as long as the news that the other party is not dead is spread, even if I die, I will still win. Soon, the opponent will definitely be among all the forces. Under the siege of the police, he met me again! But, do I have such a chance? "

"Thirty seconds left." A cold voice sounded, and Patrick's eyes refocused. Affected by the potion, his thoughts moved much slower than usual.

"Will you abide by the agreement?" Patrick asked as if he was sure, "If I die, I won't know anything after that. How can I be sure that you will let Danielle and the others go?

"It depends on you. If you have the ability to convince your teammates, everyone will look relaxed. Moreover, you and the person who is rushing over must be members of the team with status. If they all lose their lives here, I think if I As a knight's squire, I will definitely not let it go. I will at least investigate the cause of your death and what happened. A large number of imperial personnel gathering here is not the result I want. You can walk freely without disguise. On the street, that’s one of my wildest wishes.”

"So, I will try to avoid you. I can guarantee this."

Patrick determined the time and began to adjust the frequency on the communicator. The enemy in front of him made no move. Patrick gently pressed the contact button. In the storage space, which was so quiet that only the sound of airflow was left, the electronic noise and calls of the communicator spread gently.

"Da da..." Cassia tapped her watch with her fingers, indicating that Patrick didn't have much time left.

He nodded to show his understanding. When the electronic noise disappeared, an urgent female voice came over: "Patrick, what's going on? What happened? Why can't I contact you? I can rush to the storage warehouse right away!"

"There was a little situation in the middle, don't worry." Patrick's voice was very gentle, "Don't get close to the warehouse yet. In addition, there is something very important that I need to tell you now. I think you should find a place to park that is not too noisy. It would be better if you come down and listen to me. It is very important, after all, it affects many people."

The footsteps over there stopped immediately. Patrick caught the movement and then continued his words: "I just came into contact with the enemy and understood something."

"Then you know he is..."

"Just listen to me, don't interrupt in the middle." Patrick raised his voice a little. When he was about to speak, he found that Cassia had already come to him, and a hand two or three times smaller than his reached out. .

There was still a smile on his face, and Patrick knew what that look represented, so much so that his hot body temperature dropped a few degrees at this moment. It was a signal to hand over the communicator. His movements were a little stiff. Patrick thought about the time it would take him to call out the enemy's name, but for a moment he no longer had the strength, and his throat seemed to be blocked.

When the stiffness disappeared, Patrick realized that he had let go of his hand and the communicator was lying quietly in the enemy's hand.

Cassia covered the part that received the sound with her hand and spoke softly: "Mr. Patrick, please do not make unnecessary movements. Especially dangerous actions such as touching the communicator with your fingers to produce a slight tapping sound and transmit the code word. Don't speak with vague hints, these are very dangerous. Your teammates are less than 500 meters away from here, and it will take less than ten seconds to catch up with them."

Letting go of the communicator, Cassia put it to Patrick's ear and motioned for him to continue.

"There is a huge organization behind the enemy, which is not something we can fight against at the moment. Even if the captain comes, it won't work. I think it is best and should be abandoned here as soon as possible. This is our best choice at the moment." Patrick paused for a few seconds, which was because his heart was beating rapidly after being forced to suppress his small movements.

"Patrick, the enemy is by your side, right? Are you being threatened?" Danielle was keenly aware that from the moment Patrick spoke, she felt something was wrong.

"No, all you need to do now is remember my words." Patrick gave up completely, which was due to helplessness. "I have injected the medicine, but it has no effect. The other party is not other knight attendants, but Another organization. They have sent a lot of force here, and we alone cannot resist it. The captain will only encounter danger when he comes."

"Where are you now? I'll be right over." There were footsteps from the other side.

"In a very safe place, I am injured. It will take about half an hour to recover. I will go find you after that. During this time, you'd better finish packing our things and let others leave the mine base. Just rebel On the other side of the force, you should have a good reason to convince them that we have not abandoned this place. I am afraid that the Lieutenant Colonel will become another enemy after knowing that we are going to abandon this place. Finally, be sure not to get close to the storage warehouse, which is absolutely There are also enemies waiting for you to pass. They first destroyed my communicator, and I broke an arm before I managed to escape. Although I also wanted to go back and find the arm, maybe it would be possible to connect it. But there was no chance. The enemy has our basic information, and I think they will definitely be waiting for you to lead your team into a trap."

Patrick pretended to cough a few times to make his words more credible. He knew Danielle's attentiveness and sensitivity.

"I will contact you later. I hope you will do as I say. There are some things that cannot be explained in the communication." After speaking, Patrick exhaled, and Cassia cut off the contact and took a few steps back.

Patrick looked at Cassia, looking relaxed. He asked: "Mr. Cassia, before you take action, I want to ask one thing. It can be regarded as completely preventing me from resisting. Of course, it also makes me think that I have done the right thing just now."

Cassia crushed the communicator and said "ok".

"I want to know how big the gap between us is? From the very beginning of my contact with you, my upper limit of judgment has been improving."

"Choose the most intuitive reference object, the thirty-six ferocious creatures in Knight's Attendant. You should have a clear understanding of them. If you don't enter the scaly state, it will be difficult to obtain the signal generators in their bodies. Looks very troublesome.”

Patrick threw the dagger to Cassia: "Then I probably know."

Sure enough, he is indeed far more difficult to deal with than Mr. Zero. Patrick's last thought was this. He didn't feel any pain, but he was still aware of the fear and fear in his heart.

The dagger made of ultimate alloy was very useful, but Cassia did not take it away in the end, but stuck it on the ground next to Patrick's body. "If there are such people around every knight attendant, in a year or two, these people will definitely meet the expectations of the Imperial Council." Cassia sighed, and at the same time realized that he wanted to catch up with these people. You also have to do some things that you have been unwilling to do. Using other people's corpses to build ladders to higher places has always been the simplest and most efficient method, provided that one does not become the material for the ladder.

Realizing that the other team was far away from the storage warehouse, Cassia found the box containing the artillery and steel-cased bombs. After placing these things in the necessary locations and setting up the delay mechanism, I left here.

A few minutes later, Cassia blended into another team and went to defend a warehouse. In the mine, Wimer's radio signal could not be received, and Cassia could only judge based on the reaction of the rebel forces that three anti-aircraft weapon launch pads had been destroyed. Moving the time forward slightly, Cassia estimated that the attack and bombing from the king's forces would come in two hours.

The situation of the general air defense base must be known to the rebel forces. Without air defense measures, the base here will definitely not be able to resist the attack prepared by the king's forces. Combined with the information about evacuation heard along the way, the rebel forces are likely to abandon the mine, leaving only a few people to delay the attack there.

So if we evacuate, the armor, which is an important reason for the establishment and construction of the mine base, will definitely be the first thing to be considered. Cassia, who was walking at the end of the team, quietly left the team and rushed to the place where the armor was assembled according to the map in her head.

On the way there, Cassia saw the load-carrying transport vehicle in the wide mine leading to the assembly site. Without thinking, Cassia caught up with the truck, got on it, and hid in the car.

In less than five minutes, the sound of the vehicle's engine stopped, and three steel structures built like tall buildings appeared in the sound wave detection.

The three armors are all wrapped in various frames and thick manipulators, and the most complete one already shows the basic appearance of the armor. Although it lacks many ingenious details compared to the one driven by Ovelia, Cassia does not doubt that after they are assembled, they will exert great destructive power when facing tanks and high-energy fuel aircraft on the battlefield.

The mine cavity used for assembly is actually an enlarged mine, and the sound shows that the top has been artificially blocked. On the rock wall of the mine, there is also a track-like lifting mechanism that is progressing along with the armor assembly progress.

The steam furnace was destroyed, and seven or eight operators wearing power-assisted armor were manually dismantling the super vapor compression device under the command of a group of technicians. During this period, other vehicles arrived one after another and parked on the empty platform nearby that was used to load and unload parts.

The arriving vehicles were filled with surgeons. And among these people, the connection born of blood reappeared. It was someone else, and Cassia immediately identified her as the woman Patrick had contacted not long ago.

"Entrusted to transport these things?" Cassia sighed involuntarily, "I hope this is how she leaves the mine without being noticed by the rebel forces. She will follow Patrick's words and give up helping the rebel forces and leave here halfway."
