Steel steam and flame

Danielle was thinking whether this would be a counterattack by the organization behind Charlotte. There are a total of ten knight attendants who entered a small country this time. They cooperate with different special agencies of the empire and are responsible for different areas. A wide net was cast, and several special agencies learned some necessary information about the organization due to an accident more than ten years ago. It's just that the sense of smell of the organization behind Charlotte is extremely sensitive. Of course, this must be because of the forces protecting it. Everyone knows that the reminder was given by people in high positions among the four forces in the empire. Just the power of a special agency cannot influence anything.

The most important thing is that after the organization realizes that it is being investigated, it acts like a gecko almost every time and will never hesitate to cut off its own tail. In addition, the status of special agencies in the empire is not very high. Compared with the special operations agencies within the empire, their rights and scope of activities are limited to a small country. Special agencies have almost no right to interfere with things involving the internal forces of the empire, and they dare not go too deep.

But Danielle couldn't figure out the stakes. Compared with the organization's previous behavior, this counterattack was obviously too different. Bold, even reckless risk-taking. The reason why the Imperial Council asked them to help deal with these matters was because the organization would not randomly send out forces to deal with it.

While thinking about it, the convoy had already traveled a long distance after hitting the road. In the early hours of the morning, there were almost no other vehicles on the road and it seemed unusually quiet. In the few cars, most of them were silent, and few people spoke.

The communication that Danielle had been waiting for was long gone. When the communicator actually rang, it was already twenty minutes after the convoy left the mining area. Cromwell's voice was full of fatigue. The operator's body and the long-evolved brain still seemed unable to handle this situation.

"Nothing was found. I also asked the team in the mining base to pay attention, but there is still no trace of Mr. Patrick." Cromwell first stated the conclusion of his investigation, "After you send me a contact, prepare The good team went to the storage warehouse. An accident happened on the way. When there were still a few hundred meters away, the warehouse exploded. All the artillery and platinum gunpowder bombs inside were detonated, and a chain reaction caused a fire to break out there. Originally there was An automatic fire extinguishing device, but due to the damage to the steam furnace, the power was lost and the water pump could not be started. I asked them to blow up several mine tunnels connecting there, and it would automatically extinguish after the air was consumed..."

After a pause here, there was a noisy sound over there, as if the people around Cromwell were having a huge dispute over something.

"The collapsed mine was reopened five minutes ago. The accumulated flammable air caused a secondary explosion, but fortunately the fire did not rekindle. The team went in with a dozen surgeons to check. Miss Danielle, can you imagine Yes, even if there is something left there, in the fire and explosion, all that will be left will be charred ruins and ashes. As for other things, I'm sorry, there is really no valuable discovery. I think, now We can only wait for Mr. Patrick to contact you himself.”

"Thank you." Daniel replied a little tiredly. The bad premonition from not long ago came back again. Daniel cut off contact and asked his subordinates to set a program on the communication machine so that it would no longer accept the natural frequency of Cromwell's communicator.

Opening the car window, Daniel put his hands on the window, blowing in the cold wind, and looked at the dark scenery flowing on the roadside. Once again, she carefully recalled what she said at that time. The combination of female sensitivity and sixth sense insight finally made Daniel sigh. The bad premonition has become a voice that is believed eighty to ninety percent in my heart. Not deciding to contact MacDonald immediately, the remaining 120% caused Danielle to give Patrick four times the time.

Two hours later, it was also the time when the mining base faced an attack by the king's forces. If the contact had not been connected by then, Danielle could only treat it as death.

Soon after, the green indicator lights on the communication machine came on one after another. Every time it flashes, the gear counter of the communication machine automatically arranges a series of six digits. That was the code name of the members who came to the small country this time. When the communication was connected, it meant that they had left the mining base and arrived in a safe area.

The convoy drove forward without stopping. Due to the situation at the general air defense base, they did not dare to approach the nearest city. All road lines connecting that city were also avoided. Soon after driving on the road, the direction gradually moved away from the mountain range where the mine base was located, and took another road in a slanted horizontal straight line, which was considered to be driving along the boundary line between the two forces.

Although it is a risky behavior, but considering that the other party's entire attention should be on the mine base at the moment, the risk will be reduced to almost nothing.

Not long after the convoy left the mining base two hours later, in the darkness behind them, no one knew who noticed the rearview mirror. Perhaps there was only a small time difference. By the time the convoy slowed down, the night sky in the direction of the mine base was already a dim red. Within a few minutes, the red gradually became brighter, and a large amount of light was projected onto the sky, dyeing large areas of the night dark red.

The attack by the king's forces arrived within the expected time, and the fate of the mine base that had lost its air defense capabilities had long been decided. Even though there are anti-aircraft rapid-fire machine guns, in the face of the well-prepared attack formation, each aircraft has raised its altitude, and the bullets cannot reach high altitudes at all.

Most of the remaining anti-aircraft weapons were destroyed in the first wave of bombing. The king's forces did not care about ammunition consumption at all. After the first wave of bombing, the mines had become a sea of ​​fire. Afterwards, the attacking aircraft lowered their altitude and relied on precision aerial bombs to destroy various construction works in the mining base. The evacuating teams could not evacuate very far in two hours. At the speed of the aircraft, catching up with them was just a matter of time and the amount of high-energy fuel carried.

Without thinking about the issue of prisoners, almost all of the evacuating team were killed by precision bombs from combat aircraft. Perhaps in the end, only a small number of teams taking the Mine Mountains route can guarantee their own safety.

Shortly after the night turned red, Cromwell contacted Occam and Janet and informed them that fighter planes were flying in this direction. We need to speed up as soon as possible. It would be best if we could go to the nearest town and hide. Because even if the two sides are in a state of war, ordinary people, who are the cornerstone of a country, will not be actively attacked. If that doesn't work, immediately go hide in the wasteland and woods and wait for the opportunity to leave later.

"Try to choose to operate at night. After dawn, the king's forces will definitely send aircraft to patrol the sky around the clock. The area radiated by the general air defense base has become their domain. Be careful. I hope you can complete the mission." Cromwell can be heard. There will be explosions from time to time, and the bombing and attacks will continue for a long time, and will not stop until the mine base turns into black ruins.
