Steel steam and flame

"As expected, are you still interested in the reward from the Thunder Wolf Tribe?" Monica laughed, and her voice sounded harsh in Korkvar's ears for a while. Somewhat helplessly, Korkvar looked over and wanted to explain, but after seeing Monica's smile, he thought about it and let it go. Just treat it like this, at least he won't lose anything, Korkvar thought.

"Is there any more information?" After a while, at noon, the ocean supported by the dark green ancient tree canopy below barely changed at all, and the location information relied entirely on one's sensitivity to direction. While Korková was silent, he kept thinking about Osnia.

"No more." Monica replied immediately, "The contact was just to ask us to rush over immediately to contain it. The only thing left is to report Osnia's death information. I really want to know some information about the scene, but the other party first Cutting off the connection in one step." He spread his hands and said, "Sir, are you thinking about the impact of the death of the enemy and Osnia?"

Korkvar did not deny it, but he did not immediately answer Monica's words. After waiting for half a minute, he remembered something and looked at the sea of ​​trees in front of him, "You know, Osnia was selected to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. People. Although this sacrificial ceremony is fair to everyone, that is just the words of the high priest. When all kinds of information are distributed to various tribes, the top management will not consider us first. "

"The number of qualified people in each tribe is not very large. In addition, Osnia is a very powerful elite in the Thunder Wolf tribe. I heard this morning that his cleanup task was going smoothly, but within a few hours, people But he's already dead. Well,..." Korkvar paused, "It's just a general idea. As for other things, I am definitely interested in the enemy. In addition, after the cleanup mission is over, I don't know who is there. It would be unlucky to become the target of the thunder wolf tribe's anger. After the sacrificial ceremony was confirmed to be carried out, those of us who were qualified were warned by the higher-ups not to fight among ourselves."

"Because it's right next to the clearing area of ​​Osnia, will it cause some trouble when we go back?" Monica heard the meaning of Korkova's words.

Seeing Korkvar nod, Monica continued: "But the tribe will definitely not keep acquiesce to it. At most, it is just a warning."

"No, maybe the tribe won't let me go out in the next month or two. Or, in other words, they won't stop until they find out the truth. But everyone with the same identity is in the same situation, which can make some people Calm down. It's just that the enemy is definitely not a kitten... If I have a chance today, I would like to see what the enemy looks like." The following words were Korkvar's own words. In his impression, strange people of the same level , it has become a little difficult for people like myself and Osnia to die in battle. The battle may be lost, but you can still do it by using some last resort means to help yourself escape.

but why? When Korkvar raised this question in his mind, on the other side, Cornelia, who was also hunting the bird, had the same doubt. But for a woman like her, curiosity and interest take up more of a role than Korkva.

You can see dripping blood on the dead leaves along the way about ten meters away. Without looking carefully, Cassia stopped after moving forward for several thousand meters. The blood traces disappeared here, and no suspicious traces were found in the sound wave pulses.

"The location not long ago was the last battle site between Isa and the enemy. After that, it was probably the time when the chasing team was recalled." Cassia muttered to herself while looking around, "I caught up, but the result It’s not as good as I hoped.”

The high-frequency sound waves dispersed at this time, and the surrounding ancient trees had been inspected by Cassia, without any unnecessary traces. The blood all over the ground showed that Isa's condition was very bad, otherwise it would be impossible to do something as simple as pressing the wound to stop the bleeding. But the traces disappeared here. Perhaps it was Isa's decision after she felt that the pursuit team behind her had withdrawn, and her body could no longer support her. She needed to lie down and rest in a safe place.

Under the dead leaves became her best choice. Spraying it with a scent elimination reagent would have a high chance of covering up the smell of blood.

After a few breaths, Cassia went a few hundred meters away, pushed aside a dead leaf, and saw Isa with her eyes tightly closed.

As if she had dug a grave for herself, Isa buried herself half in the soil, leaving only her face lightly covered by dead leaves. His breath was very weak, and he didn't know if he had given any orders to his body before he fell into coma. Cassia dug it out and saw a fist-sized hole in his abdomen caused by a bullet, and a large area of ​​clothing was covered with semi-dried blood. High-frequency sound waves showed that there were many broken bones on her body, and scratches and shrapnel embedded in the skin were spread all over half of her body. The numerical disadvantage caused great trouble for Isa and the others in their evacuation.

But it can still be said to be lucky. It’s not like Cassia has never done simulations. In his calculations, the chance that Isa and others could leave the forest alive was less than one percent, and he still added his own results.

Looking at Isa's pale face, Cassia took out the soil and visible shrapnel from her body as quickly as possible. The broken bones cannot be dealt with temporarily, and the hole in the abdomen, Isa seems to have taken emergency measures before she fell into coma, but blood is still leaking out at this moment.

Even if you have learned how to deal with some injuries after a battle, that is still based on having basic medical tools and medicines. Cassia had nothing in her hands except a firecracker and the remaining three steel-cased bombs.

Corresponding medical equipment must be available in this state, otherwise in the coma state, the hole will become fatal sooner or later. Isa's body temperature at this moment was far higher than that of a normal human being, and the various energy substances stored in her body were being consumed rapidly. I don’t know what method Isa relied on to become a surgeon, but Cassia knew that if this situation was not alleviated, the withering phenomenon that the empire’s surgeons were most afraid of might happen to Isha, even in different ways. form.

Without thinking much, Cassia hugged Isha, paying careful attention to the wound on her abdomen, and then controlled her body to run towards Larsa in the most stable manner.

The danger has not been eliminated, and the enemy captain's final form reminded him a lot. Knowing that the other party's identity is definitely not ordinary, Cassia is afraid that enemies beyond her control will pursue her later. Apart from Isa's injury, the most important thing to do now is to leave the forest.

Fortunately, the communicator is still on him. As long as he leaves the forest, he can probably escape the other party's capture of the radio communication. Although she was unwilling, Cassia knew that the first thing to do after leaving the forest was to call Adolf and Trevikan over.

After running for tens of kilometers, Cassia suddenly stopped. The hugged Isa began to gasp for breath, her face became even more pale, and her body temperature was somewhat beyond the range that her strength could stimulate. After thinking for a moment, Cassia put down Isha, found a tactical knife on her body, took out a piece of solid red mercury from her body, wiped away the blood, then inserted it into Isha's body through the hole in her abdomen.

"The only feasible way, as for whether you can survive..." The following words disappeared in the sound of broken leaves. Soon after, Cassia's figure completely disappeared behind the overlapping ancient trees.

More than an hour later, Korkova looked at the trees that had gradually become sparse and the edge of the forest just a few kilometers away. When he was thinking about whether to turn around and return, Monica suddenly exclaimed.

"I discovered it, sir, a rapidly moving object!"
