Steel steam and flame

"It's just a large-scale arms dealer." Cassia emphasized again, "For the king's power, I am one of their weapons suppliers. I have been doing their business for some time, and there was a lot of arrears in the past. Here, the king's force is like a base for us to spread out and expand to the surrounding areas. We have invested a lot of resources and time. If we give up here and let the king's force fail in the internal war, the losses caused will be compared with these times. In terms of the profits we can earn from them, it is still many times greater.”

"So what happened these days can be said to be no choice, or it can be said that it is because of one's own interests that I have to do it."

From the expressions of the two people and the benefits they gave, Cassia was able to roughly determine that the two would join in. There is nothing inappropriate about telling them something now.

"If you have any questions, feel free to speak up. Anyway, there is still a lot of time."

"Mr. Soriato, I would like to ask something about the surgical development project..."

When the time came in the afternoon, Cassia, Finia, and Gers had left the gathering town. He left near noon and wanted to stay a little longer, but the explosion coming from the mine base was captured by Cassia. When a few people left, a team from the king's army was already heading towards the gathering town.

The areas controlled by the rebel forces probably cannot stay for a long time. The mine base cannot resist for a long time. As the king's army advances, the checkpoints and cities in the rear will fall into flames of war.

The three of them found a sturdy-looking car on the road in front of the gathering town, and worked together to lift it to the main road and go to the city next to the general air defense base. Hessler is still waiting, days away from a full recovery. Cassia's initial plan is to join Hessler first and wait for Hesslie to be able to basically carry out his activities. During this period, he was able to observe the attitudes and decisions of the knight's attendants behind Patrick.

But the more important reason is Tavel and Teli Weikang. Cassia currently does not have the extravagant hope of investigating the true identities of the two people. Although they are being used as substitutes, their identities, as well as the relationships and resources in their hands, as long as the process is handled properly, will definitely bring huge benefits to themselves. .

I don’t want to cut off the connection, but I also have no way to cut off the connection. Otherwise, it won't be long before Cassia believes that if the other party becomes suspicious of him, it will be a sure thing for a large number of imperial personnel to come here to investigate him.

The news of the start of the internal war has reached the city, and there are many rebel forces driving propaganda vehicles on the streets and using loudspeakers to appease large numbers of ordinary people. The effect was not obvious, and as some people near the mine base poured in, the situation only became more and more chaotic. This is not an area close to the border between the two sides, but there is only a short distance in between. It is not an exaggeration to regard it as a sub-border.

In addition, some people who were able to leave immediately began to pack their luggage and drive to the city further back. The entire city was enveloped in an atmosphere of panic and depression.

"The army of the king's forces should be able to take over the city around tomorrow afternoon." In the room, Finia and Gers were sitting at the table, watching the two people in front of them talking, "After taking over , the attack speed will definitely be slowed down due to logistical problems. But I don’t think it will take long to completely capture the entire area that has lost its air defense capabilities. The rebel forces will probably also take the initiative to give up fighting with the king in this area. There will be a conflict between the armies of the forces. What we need to pay attention to is probably that the other side will send a team of surgeons to destroy weapons and ammunition and other supplies."

Hessler looked at Fenia and Gers at this time: "Give me a new helper? The injuries are all healed. Going out for some exercise might speed up recovery."

Cassia shook her head: "They have more important things to do. Following you, all I can think of is counterproductive. After all, you must spend some time taking care of them. By the way, there is another thing that is regrettable , I still didn’t get that gun back in the end. But I will definitely have the opportunity to make a better one for you in the future. I think it won’t be long.” After hearing these words, Finia and Geers felt anxious in their hearts for some unknown reason. Breathed a sigh of relief.

Hessler smiled: "It has nothing to do with you, Captain. It was originally lost because of my own lack of strength. Don't worry about it."

"Then we will continue to stay here for the next week or two."

Sitting at the table, Daniel was still sorting out recent information. A portrait of Charlotte after a complete plastic surgery was placed next to the information. The communicator automatically flashed the standby light like breathing. The curtains were not drawn, and the flashing lights of the building could be seen outside the window on the high floors of the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, I have been sitting at the table to start these tasks. Danielle reported the details of the mining base to MacDonald in the morning, but did not give her a direct reply, saying that he was waiting for the next order.

It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and Danielle still has not received any contact, except for the fact that his subordinates come every once in a while to report the specific progress of other members gathering here from the surroundings of the mine base.

Putting down the information that she had just finished sorting, Daniel walked to the window and thought about Patrick's words again. During this period, I also recalled and thought about Patrick’s usual personality and work style, etc. In less than a day, Danielle has repeated this kind of thing many, many times. The result was basically the same each time - when Patrick was communicating with himself, the enemy was indeed right next to him. The first few sentences clearly contained hints, indicating that he would find information about the enemy from the following words. But everything changed later.

That's when Patrick discovered something that caused his mind to change. The following words no longer hide any additional information, it is the simplest and most direct warning. The enemy is full of danger for us now, and also for Lord Macdonald. If we touch it, it will bring death.

Danielle could only think this way. Patrick said that he had used the potion, but still could not escape from the storage space. It wasn't long before she and Patrick separated. These signs reminded her that neither the strength of the enemy nor the supporting forces behind it could be handled by the teams that came to the small country today.

However, all decisions must be made by Lord MacDonald. Daniel naturally said to himself that there was an uncertain factor in the team, which was the ten experimental subjects that were brought here. And now they are the only ones who can influence Lord MacDonald's decision.
