Steel steam and flame

When she opened her eyes at nine o'clock in the morning, Cassia actually woke up from a semi-sleep state very early. However, thinking that she was buried under a piece of grass and would have nothing to do all day today, she closed her eyes and thought. matter.

The outside world appears in Cassia's head in the form of neatly interlaced sketch lines. In this state, observing ordinary people's daily lives has a unique feeling. Then, Cassia thought about the end of tonight's affairs. Apart from the finishing work, all that was left was the recruitment plan for San Vicho Junior High School. Although it will also involve two or three neighboring countries of San Vicho, Cassia is prepared to leave it to Broder and the others for recruitment there. The first task, whether it is inspection or training, in short, from now on, in addition to daily exercise, these people must use it as soon as possible. Half of each year's salary will be paid soon. The amount received from the captain alleviates Cassia's financial problem. There is no need to ask Delya for it, but he can also spend some more to speed up the shells and artillery. Construction of production lines.

Last night, he asked the captain to hurry up and write an announcement for himself, which roughly meant the notice before disbanding the association, and in the name of the association, he sent some information to those people Cassia liked.

In addition, tonight's explosion will definitely alarm the management organization of Fort North Tusi. After the news spreads, it is foreseeable that it will cause shock in a large area. After all, the scope of the association is very broad. Cassia had the idea of ​​​​sending other people to invade the association and take over some areas while taking advantage of the chaos. But there must be many forces who know this idea. In addition, with the changes of the times, it is still unknown whether the family behind the captain will let go of the association.

So Cassia thought that since she had received the planned benefits and the surprise benefits, following the plan step by step was the most correct route at the moment. As for the chaos caused by the association, it may cause a chain reaction among various forces in the future. By then, the arms business will become better, and it is not certain that Saint Vicho will quickly find a foothold in this chaos.

Waiting is indeed boring for Cassia, and her temper can definitely endure this boring feeling, but it feels like a waste of time. All the time after that, Cassia was sorting out the expansion plan. She was also thinking about what criteria she should use to screen people who might come here after advertising about the association.

"Unconsciously, it seems that time is about to enter early summer." In the evening, Cassia suddenly realized this. San Vicho is a landlocked country with lakes and a few rivers, but it really doesn’t stay long in the spring. Looking back now, almost five months have passed since I accepted the escort mission to obtain concentrated dragon blood, then went to the warehouse, and now I am more free to follow the plan step by step.

For Cassia, this period of time really seemed like something flashed by in front of her eyes. During this period, she did a lot of things, but what made Cassia feel oppressed was that even though she did a lot of things, she always felt that it was not enough. The planned time points can be seen with the eyes, but the specific results have no clear time at all. She sighed in her heart. At this moment, it has been a year and a half since she left the knight squire assessment. Looking back, if she returns to the empire, Cassia knows that she is the only one who can provide help.

Soon after, Hessler, who was more than two thousand meters away in the sound wave pulse, made a signal action. Cassia came out of the bad mood with a sigh and began to observe the surroundings.

There were seven ceremonial cars in total, divided into two convoys, driving here some distance apart. Three of the extended limousines were at the end. They did not go directly to the parking lot of the villa area, but parked near the residence. The driver did not get out until other people came over with their suitcases. He moved all the supplies that filled the entire limo one by one and brought them into the living room of the villa with the remaining people.

Regardless of the suitcases or the three extended limousines, apart from the necessary communication equipment, the remaining items were almost all types of weapons and equipment. When most of the people entered the residence, Cassia retracted the sound wave pulse in time, and the perception that had not been actively dissipated further converged into the body. My body quickly fell into a sleep-like state. From my own perspective, after everything was moved in, the next step was to make a basic observation of the entire room and conduct a brief exploration of the surroundings to understand the general situation of the surrounding environment. , to cope with emergencies.

The men were given half an hour.

Half an hour later, Cassia was awakened by the biological clock in her body and opened her eyes, seeing darkness. The breath was filled with the moist smell of earth, and the sound waves pulsed. Twenty people were staying quietly in the villa at the moment. Some were drinking the wine the captain bought last night, some were looking at the information the captain had prepared in advance, and some were reading Rest, and the rest is sorting out the weapons filled with weapons in the living room.

The time given to them to investigate had passed. Since nothing was found wrong, Cassia was too lazy to brace herself to deal with these people. Sitting up from under the turf, Cassia walked away from the villa. No one could catch his figure in the darkness.

"Although the direction of the explosion was taken into consideration when the bomb was placed, the huge number caused the power to spread more than a hundred meters away." Cassia said to herself, "Fortunately, this is a villa area, and the distance between each house is far enough. , even if the impact of the explosion spreads to the surroundings, it will only shatter glass products and cause ordinary people's hearing to lose most of their functions in a short period of time."

As he spoke, Cassia walked more than a hundred meters away and sat on a wooden bench on a path. With his eyes reflecting the gentle light from the villa ahead, Cassia pressed the detonation switch in her hand with a sincere "Welcome".

Maybe it was just for a moment, Cassia thought, expressionless, and even felt that she was used to seeing explosions and fires, and she had no expectation of the next scene.

Large swaths of flames swelled in the darkness, converging into a mushroom cloud that rose no more than a few dozen meters high and quickly turned into thick smoke in a matter of seconds. The huge villa instantly collapsed into fragments, and countless flames came out of these instantly cracked holes, spurting out to the surroundings in the shape of tongues of fire.

The gravel flew farther than Cassia imagined, but the intensity of the shock wave and heat wave was not much different from what he calculated. Then she closed her eyes, and Cassia simply sat on the wooden chair, standing as still as a solid rock, despite the impact of shock waves, air waves, or sound waves, without feeling anything. The only change may be that the clothes on his body are burned in large areas.

Half a minute later, although there was no crater formed by the explosion where the villa was located because the explosives were placed separately, it was still completely blown to the ground.

Cassia pulled out the revolver and walked over, the fire still burning in her eyes.

Standing more than fifty meters away, Cassia emptied three drums into the ruins, then fired a signal flare into the sky and accelerated his pace towards the meeting place with Hessler.

Soon after, Cassia and Hessler returned to the captain.
