Steel steam and flame

After a few minutes, the contact was cut off. Cassia returned to sit in front of the window and looked at the quiet city center in her eyes again in deep thought. It was more than an hour later when Waters and Winifer knocked on the door. At that time, the brass clock on the wall, which had the texture of a historical museum artifact, was pointing to four in the morning.

"The explosives and unmanned attack machines have been arranged. The flexible cables will have to wait until tomorrow night. When I left, Mr. Winifer simulated it simply with a signal. Everything was triggered smoothly and there were no major problems. The smoke you mentioned, Captain. A large number of bombs have also been placed at corresponding locations, and the weight is enough to cause a heavy fog with visibility of less than one meter on the streets tomorrow night."

Cassia nodded and asked Waters to go back and rest first. He was the commander who prevented the enemy from rushing to the auto repair center for support. Winifer was left behind by Cassia, who wanted to ask some things at this time and explain other things clearly. April's appearance affected Cassia's later plans for Winifer - she really wanted him to join the Knights, but in the current situation, Winifer would almost definitely consider April's feelings. But he quickly thought of another plan for Winifer to consider.

Around 5:30 in the morning, everyone, including Cassia, went to rest. Cassia wakes up every half hour in a semi-sleep state to check the movements of the enemy's two locations. They all maintained their usual composure, and no one among them was aware of what was happening under their eyes.

The next day, the four members of the enemy left their residence again at a little after noon and went to where they wanted to go. This time Cassia didn't follow them. She just used sound wave pulses to see where they were going. The only thing she paid attention to was whether they made any suspicious movements along the way.

The time soon reached nine o'clock in the evening. After checking the time with everyone in the communication, Cassia separated from Waters and Winifer in front of the hotel and drove her limo towards the car repair center. Stopping at a distance of 1,500 meters, Cassia sat in the limousine, listening to the various voices from Waters on the communicator as if listening to a car radio. The mind naturally simulates their general actions and situation at the moment based on these sounds.

All personnel were quickly in place, but it was already one o'clock in the morning when the actual operation began. It took Winifer and the others half an hour to lay the flexible cables.

"Captain, we are ready here." Hearing this voice, Cassia got out of the limo and approached the car repair center on foot. Fifteen minutes later, Cassia came to the outer wall of the open space behind the automobile repair center. After the sound wave pulses determined the enemy's distribution and location several times in succession, he climbed over the wall and walked towards the office building silently step by step.

It was very quiet, except for two people who came to the corridor to smoke a cigarette. The intuition and intensity of perception brought by basic vigilance are simply impossible to detect Cassia who intentionally hides herself.

With bare feet, Cassia stepped on the smooth wooden floor step by step, locking the four people in the office building intentionally or unintentionally with a high degree of concentration. Holding the second-generation Holy Sword in one hand, Cassia moved quietly and carefully, almost from under the four people in the office upstairs, to the stairs leading to the basement. A temporary welded and reinforced alloy door blocked the stairwell. High-frequency sound waves showed that there were two wrist-thick alloy round sticks behind the door blocking the door tightly.

"An ordinary alloy door with a thickness of five centimeters, the diameter of the two alloy rods is about ten centimeters." The high-frequency sound waves fed back the information. Cassia took a step back, and then tapped the communicator several times with his hand. After that, he He quickly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and assumed a position where he could exert maximum force. "Eighty percent strength is enough. Excessive force will make a harsher sound."

About two breaths, or twelve or thirteen seconds later, a not-so-strong vibration was transmitted from the communicator to Cassia's body. With the feedback mechanism designed by Winifer, the communicator remains connected. When the connection is interrupted or cut off, it will be automatically detected and cause the communicator to vibrate.

In front of the stairs, a pale silver light cut the darkness and air in half without any friction sound. In the high-frequency sound waves, Cassia clearly captured that this very ordinary alloy door had no resistance at all. Even under the hardness and sharpness of the second-generation holy sword, not even a spark rose.

The alloy door was cut open with a sharp cut from the side by the second-generation Holy Sword, and the two horizontal alloy columns behind the door were disconnected at the same time. The friction sound was not as harsh as Cassia imagined, but it no longer mattered. Cassia withdrew the holy sword and moved her body forward slightly at the same time. The fine black scales covering her body under her clothes collided with the door and made a "click" sound.

At this moment, still suppressing his own breath and temperature, the alloy door opened with a sound, and the broken column fell into the corridor and rolled down. But Cassia's figure had already disappeared into the darkness in the corridor and went to the basement.

Running directly to April's position, Cassia, who was holding a sword in one hand, pulled out a small-caliber pistol equipped with a powerful silencer, and the scales around the spine on her back began to rhyme like waves, acting as sound wave pulses.

"Three seconds, five seconds, eight seconds!" Cassia went to a corner of the basement at this moment. The tabs of the two steel-cased bombs on her waist had been torn off. The next moment, the small-caliber pistol spurted out a ball of fire. Ten bullets from the magazine scattered, and several lighted lamps immediately shattered. The moment darkness fell, a huge "enemy attack" roared out, and another oval object twice the size of an ordinary steel bomb was thrown out by Cassia, following the parabola. Under the cover of this sound and darkness, He successfully reached the separate area and landed firmly in the middle of a dozen kinetic armors placed there.

Amidst the sound of "chichi", the next moment, several flames suddenly flickered and burned. When the light illuminated a corner of the basement again, the eight people who were resting at the moment quickly got up and rushed from the rest area to the location of the kinetic armor. In the area with communication machines nearby, the five people yelled to be careful of the surroundings while holding guns. They used the cover of the walls that separated the basement to look at the wide corridor that connected the various areas at the door. , two steel-cased bombs suddenly exploded around them, and the roar was immediately drowned out by the explosion.

A black shadow sprang out from the explosion flames, half of its body was scorched black, and more of it was indeed coated with a reddish gray-white alloy sheet by the flames. The black shadow was close to a height of two and a half meters. The short impact brought with it a burst of wind, which opened a gap in the smoke generated by the explosion.

The kinetic armor rushed out of the explosion range and directly blocked the empty space leading to the bottom area. The force of his rapid turn caused a small crack in the ground beneath his feet. But before he could stand still, a ray of silver-white light had already sliced ​​horizontally from his neck, like a lake under a moonlit night, pulling out a piece of light that seemed to have never existed before, cold and without any ripples.
