Steel steam and flame

Sensing Nonoska and Chilman's questions, Hilary Lee listened to the communication and added: "He was a powerful assassin. If it weren't for the protection around him, MacDonald would have died. He was seriously injured. He needed to lie in a culture tank for several months. The most important point is that his legs were completely cut off and then blown into pieces, making it impossible to reattach them."

"It means that we will lose one person here first." Chillman understood. "With the technology of the Theocracy, it will still take about half a year to train the feet to adapt to the three-stage surgery. And the limbs that will be adapted to the subsequent training, It will take some time for additional assimilation. Looking at it this way, Astus will not release Macdonald again."

Having said this, Chilman looked at Nonoska, waiting for him to express his opinion.

With a look of indifference on her face, Nonoska thought for a moment and sorted out her words: "The first substantive bad news. You know that among the main members who will face Ye Jielin this time, there are several important ones. Everyone is a knight squire, but three of the Astus family are ranked at the bottom. Even for the king's family, it is still very difficult to support five knight squires at the same time to reach the top."

"You want to talk about some loopholes in the rules that existed in that assessment?" Hillary said after reading the assessment materials, with an expression of understanding and agreement on her face, "There is no need to discuss Macdonald's situation because it is not necessary. But this case The matter still needs to be investigated clearly. Now it is not only the target who proactively released his own photos, but also the current incident. I think it is most likely planned by Ye Jielin or the general secretary next to him. "

"Now, both the target and Ye Jielin are seeking opportunities and want to take the initiative. However, with our strength, numbers, and information being stronger and more complete, we are actually in a disadvantageous situation."

"This may be seen as the other party knows that the longer we delay, the harder it will be to withstand the sudden and huge pressure when we start taking action. Now it is diversion and rationalization. I think the target's thinking will be like this." Nonoska maintains his usual optimistic attitude.

"I hope so, but no matter what, we do have to start taking action." Hillary responded.

The speed at which news spreads completely depends on how quickly a group of intelligence dealers pick up the communicator and press the communication button. For those who stay in front of the communication machine in three shifts every day, holding the communication device when eating and occasionally squinting for a moment, they have been paying attention to this incident for a long time. Moreover, it is still a bombing news. Its rapid spread is indeed The fastest in recent times.

Black market intelligence dealers are very similar to many media and newspaper organizations in the world of ordinary people in the empire. The only difference is that one faces the sun and the other lives in darkness all year round.

The transmission of messages often has one or several sources, just like a relay race, but this relay race is no longer one transmission, but a huge plurality. By the time the news spread completely in and around the Manoma area, several versions had appeared.

Whether MacDonald was actually dead or not is irrelevant now. Because people who care about the news will only care about the only important point. In the next year, he will lose the opportunity to appear in front of everyone. Many people are not sure what it will be like in a year, but at least for Macdonald, he seems to have been removed from the thirty-six knights in the cultivation jar at the moment. The thirty-six knights and attendants who had been balancing for more than a year and a half, finally had their peace broken this summer.

At the same time, inside the Knights of the Round Table station, at the edge, a spacious field was surrounded by concrete walls into a hexagonal shape. On the five-meter-high wall, almost every hundred meters or so, there is a recessed bullet mark painted with golden yellow paint. This is Ye Jielin's residence.

Within the hexagonal wall, in the center of the venue, in a twelve-story building, Ye Jielin was sitting at a rectangular conference table. Gabrieli was opposite, flipping through information in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other.

"The gift has been delivered. There is no doubt about its authenticity. Atuohuan has also proven the accuracy of the information. Moreover, before this matter came to us, it had spread in the black market intelligence network for who knows how far." In the conference room with only the sound of paper, the silence was broken as Gabri read the information in her hand.

She closed the document and put it on her left hand. After drinking half a glass of wine, she took out another stack of documents from the right side and continued to read: "In my opinion, Hae Hill is indeed dangerous. Between him and Ovili Even though the 'imminent sincerity' mentioned in the last contact has been fulfilled, we still can't trust it. Leigh Hill is his brother, I remember after Cassia returned from her first mission I received treatment once, and the injury at that time was caused by Leigh. If I remember correctly, Leigh and Cassia were members of the same team at that time."

"I heard that Hai and his brother are the same person, but Hai is better at pretending, and his self-control ability is far better than Li. But now it is indeed us who are trapped here. People like Hai who are extremely good at using information to fight , is what we urgently need right now.”

"It's not an exaggeration to think that another hand is always ready to stab us, but for a period of time, we are extremely in need of this hand's help."

Ye Jielin did not reply. Gabri was used to her response style and did not express her own opinions and analysis, leaving a lot of time for her to think.

"You may not know the purpose of Hai inviting me to join the alliance, but I know it in my heart. His goal is not Cassia. From this point on, there is an opportunity to form an alliance with him. It's just that there is a connection between Hai's goal and Cassia. With Cassia's character..." Thinking of the dance when she was still in the military school, Ye Jielin still remembers Cassia's attitude at that time.

"Then refuse." Gabriel looked casual.

Ye Jielin shook her head: "The situation is the same as what you said. We need this hand, and we don't have many choices."

Seeing the conflicting expression on Ye Jielin's face, Gabrielle showed an interested smile: "Sometimes it's not a good thing to think too much, Ye Jielin. Since you have the strength to let a knight attendant enter the culture tank , almost slashing the glorious life trajectory of his knight squire. Try to think about how he did it - there must be information cooperation and help from many people, as well as powerful members. Although I think these former The members who went to assassinate should all be hired by Kai himself at a high cost, and some of his family members were already 'dead'. However, as far as the results are concerned, he did it."

"And if the Imperial Council wants to investigate, there will be no results. Because with the characteristics of the Hill family, there will definitely be a complete change of identity information. Even the assassin may have a 100% plastic surgery and redo his face. . In the end, dozens of airship tickets, as well as various other means of transportation, traveled around the empire in different identities like a tourist, and returned to Manoma a few years later. No one cared about it at that time. ”
