Steel steam and flame

The mood improved as the train accelerated. At this moment, Cassia felt that her plan had finally embarked on the final broad road. As long as you hold the steering wheel firmly, pay attention to the accelerating speed, and don't hit the vehicle going the wrong way or in front of you on the road, and the rest will be left to time. In the predicted time, you will see the predicted things happen.

On the afternoon of the next day, Cassia came to the border area of ​​the Qil Kingdom, completed the exit procedures, went to the predetermined location to meet the people waiting there, and the guide back was in place at this time. It won't be the same this time, right? Cassia looked forward to it, got on the long-distance bus, and began to ride on various different, new or old, spacious or crowded means of transportation, and the distance to the Tussini region of the empire was getting closer and closer.

On the seventh day, the restaurant where Cassia ate during her break was already a small country very close to the empire. Exiting here is a country bordering the empire. The environment and surrounding construction are much better than those of the several small countries we passed on the way. Affected by various radiations from the empire, it has natural advantages both economically and technologically. But the hidden dangers are also obvious. Some imperial nobles can easily reach out here to establish private training bases and recruit strong local young people by giving them less than one-fifth or sixth of the fees and treatment within the empire. With worker resources that are cheaper than the empire, and with a little power, you can become a god-like existence in a region at a small cost. For some small nobles, the small countries on the borders of the three giant countries are their most ideal place to live.

You can clearly feel the changes in the surroundings. Just from the popularity of electricity, even though this place is not officially the territory of the empire, it is almost the same. In the sound wave pulse, many troops with imperial characteristics can be found stationed in the big cities of this small country.

"Those people from special agencies." When the mine base obtained the super vapor compression core, they learned about an imperial agency. It is very similar to the special operations agency, but one is external and the other is internal. "I don't know if there is anyone here who has penetrated into the empire. Paths to the Dark World.”

While eating, I thought that Cassia wanted to use this small country as a cover. After the production line of artillery shells and artillery was completed, the products flowing into the black market would soon attract the attention of others. There are already response plans and preparations for the small country, but with a little negligence within the empire, and the fact that my focus will still not be on the empire in the future, it is very likely that I will not go back to Tusinni for a long time. , the danger will be very close to Delya and the others.

"You still have to take your time. Only after the follow-up matters are completed can you get out." After eating, Cassia set off again in the afternoon.

On the eighth day, he successfully entered the small country bordering the empire. After separating from the guide, Cassia got on the train returning to Tussini by the railway line. Two days later, at the station, it was still raining, and I got into the limo that had been parked on the roadside for several hours.

Hessler secretly went back to Manoma and has not returned yet, and the information about the recent big changes within the empire was also obtained from him. The limo went directly to the villa that Tussini bought when he arrived. There is no change from when I left in my memory. Delya spends a lot of time traveling between the factory and the training ground, so she doesn’t spend much time here.

On the way, Delya carefully told the information about the Tushini area. Although there were many obstacles in the process, because of Cassia's identity here and the fact that Hessler helped clean up some troublesome people when he came back, the overall went very smoothly. The factory was also operating at full capacity during this period, and the orders from the Kingdom of Chil were of great help. What happened next was Cassia's long-awaited expansion into various regions.

I used to think that as long as there was a large amount of capital in hand, factories, production, and expansion of power would all grow at an ideal rate. But at this moment, Cassia has long known the reason why time is precious. Some things cannot rely on money and people to continuously shorten the distance. Time is a step that must be achieved and passed.

I stayed in Tusini for three days, during which I went to the mines in the Tusinni area to see the progress of the research and development of the armor. It is not unreasonable for the rebel forces to spend so much manpower and material resources. It has been for some time, but the work surrounding the three super vapor compression devices is still stuck on studying the massive blueprints. But some of these technologies were quickly adopted in other applications as well.

The development of the surgical project that guided Delya and others was also completed during this period. The data in his head allowed Cassia to give more appropriate suggestions and drug recommendations.

The Tushini region has begun to enter stability during this period, and there are no thorny issues that Cassia needs to worry about and need to solve personally. On the third day of his stay, Cassia went to the nearby central city of Amotan. The atmosphere there is much more tense than in Tushini. The purchased intelligence shows that the positions of several senior officials have changed recently, and most of them have been transferred to other places.

"It is said that the new officials are not easy to mess with. One or two of them seem to be managers of several fortress cities close to the empire. There is a danger of restructuring around the city of Amotan." Cassia responded to this sentence If I was worried, I would be concerned, but I just thought that beyond the edge of Tusinni is a continuous mountain range. The original construction of the railway line still relied on the Three Primary Colors Group and the Imperial Mining Company. There is almost no chance that this will become an important strategic location.

"A gathering place for rapid response support troops at the rear and a storage warehouse for materials..."

After much deliberation, this is the most likely guess. Either way, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. This place will become lively, with more people coming and going, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition will also increase. If the guess is correct, big things will happen here in the next few years before the influence of the Red Star really comes. And with the gradual concentration of materials, it seems that it will be more convenient to do things, and it may also attract more middlemen.

And a few years later, Cassia himself was not sure how long he would stay in Tushini and that small country. A few years later, it was already a very long time for him. At that time, it was still unknown whether the factory, Delya and the others would still stay in Tusinni.

After buying all the available information from the intelligence dealer, Cassia contacted Hessler and obtained the latest information from him. Of course, because he was in Manoma, Cassia also asked Hessler to help him go see Shaco. There was the idea of ​​giving the latest strange written materials to Shaco, but after all, I thought that this period of time was not a mature opportunity, so I gave up in the end.

After receiving the news that Shaco was in good condition, Cassia took other important information informed by Hessler, the second-generation Holy Sword, and some of Cassia's blood, and took a direct bus on the morning of the fourth day. The Qil Kingdom regrouped and began its return journey.
