Steel steam and flame

Most of them choose to sit down in the nearest restaurant and have a few glasses of wine. The journey on the train was absolutely boring, and Isa and the others, who had some requirements for food, still wanted to eat something that was generally tasty. Cassia separated from them at the door of the restaurant, and after walking around on the side streets, she found a small bookstore in the corner.

They mainly sell newspapers and foreign magazines, not many books, and even fewer are sold in the three major national languages, accounting for only a small part of them. Cassia picked a few books that were slightly interesting to her, and several sound wave pulses roughly ascertained the locations of other members around her. Finding a quieter corner in the small space of the bookstore, Cassia finally contacted Hessler.

It has been several days since we set off from Larsa, and two full days have passed since the last photo was taken. There is really no suitable opportunity on the train. Only at this time can Cassia understand a little bit about the current situation in Manoma.

Hessler's voice made Cassia feel nostalgic. She could only sit on the train, with no fresh information injected into her head. Endless fantasies could never make anything move forward. The feeling of spinning in circles made Cassia extremely uncomfortable. When he understood that the time on the train would eventually be wasted and there was no possibility of him using it, Cassia could only sigh to calm down his mood.

The communication was smooth. Cassia briefly contacted Hessler before departure and told him what situation he would be in in the next ten days. In a short period of contact, Hessler briefly explained several recent events, focusing on the incident involving Macdonald that had only spread not long ago.

"We seem to have been in contact with him, Captain." Perhaps it happened not long ago, and Hessler has not yet investigated clearly. There were still some factories around Manoma in the past, but recently, they have all been sold off after Delya removed the machines and production lines. He was fighting alone, and the few auxiliary members brought from the Tushini area could not adapt well to Manoma's complex intelligence network.

"The mining base of the Kingdom of Chir?" Hearing the familiar place name, Cassia could easily think of the scene when she was surrounded by a group of surgeons and several experimental subjects that night. "Could it be that from then on, because of the existence of the experimental subjects, Have my traces been exposed?"

"I have asked Delya to take a group of people from Tushini to Manoma. I will know the details about that time soon."

"Okay, you should be careful. Manoma will definitely not be a good place now. I don't think there is any need to delve into MacDonald's matter. I remember that it ended with the death of several of his men. From those who died Extrapolating a person's strength upwards, there is a more than 90% chance that MacDonald could become a knight's squire because he was number zero in the Astus family team at that time. Originally he was just a dispensable character. What you need to be concerned about next is the changes caused by the withdrawal of a knight attendant, especially the Imperial Council and the Knights of the Round Table, who will definitely express their attitude. You need to have this information ready at all times before the next contact. In addition, in addition to identifying the core figure of the enemy The information, as well as the information of Ye Jielin's allies, need to be investigated in the black market. If you and Delya can get a way to contact them, that would be the best situation." Cassia simply said her request, no Before he could say anything unnecessary, he immediately cut off the communication.

The wrist was bent back at this time, and when Cassia turned around, the communicator quietly entered the trouser pocket.

"It's so boring on the train, maybe it would be better to buy some books." Isha was already standing behind me at some point, and Cassia turned around and said.

"Oh, really?" His eyes were like an invisible detection machine, and he looked Cassia up and down several times. But it was impossible to see anything from Cassia, who had long been aware of it. Knowing that this would be the result, Isha also pretended to walk around the bookstore, but when she finally followed Cassia out, she still had a book I didn’t buy the book either.

"I'll lend it to you after reading it." I don't know if it was out of kindness or for other reasons. On the way back to the train, Cassia gestured to the books in her hand and said to Isa, who was not far away.

After getting on the train half an hour early, Cassia placed the book on the long and narrow table in front of her. Other passengers went to their seats one after another. When the flight attendant outside the carriage was already shouting with a loudspeaker to remind other passengers to get on the bus, Adolf and General Pullman had not yet appeared.

"While we were still in the restaurant, the two adults suddenly left. They said that there was something going on, so we could just leave first and they would catch up." At the sound of the train closing the valve, the woman Nighthawk raised her head and pushed up her glasses to explain. He said, "What they said, I don't think we have anything to worry about." After saying that, his head, which had lost the strength to support, was buried in his bag first, and Nighthawk once again entered into the best pastime of taking a train. in mode.

The scenery outside the window began to move slowly, and layers of milky white steam emerged from the gap between the bottom of the car and the platform, and soon accumulated a heavy layer on the ground. The sound of a whistle came from ahead. It was so powerful that the steam floating on the ground rose up slightly, causing the sound to spread into the distance.

A familiar friction sound rang in my ears, and the voices of other passengers became less and less frequent as time went by. Until the end, except for Cassia and the others, most people fell into sleep again and began the cycle of long journeys.

For some reason, Cassia felt much more relaxed and happy because Adolf and the others were not here. Opening a book, Cassia found a comfortable position, opened it and looked at it.

At the same time, two middle-aged men were running along the track where the train was passing.

"Let us be careful. We have received uncertain news. The promoters behind the scenes are not forces within the empire, but are most likely from other continents. Perhaps the other two giant countries will also send members to participate in this incident."

"Alas..." General Pullman's answer turned into a sigh for some time. He was speechless and contacted Li Suman on the way, but the other party didn't answer at all. She clearly knew that this was intentional, because Li Suman was sure that she did not dare to leave in the middle. But General Pullman also knew that he really had no way to deal with Li Suman. He couldn't escape or defeat her.

"What do you think of the situation just now?" Adolf came to General Pullman and asked, "The enemy's perception range is very large, like a specialized surgical ability. When he chased him out, there was no trace of the enemy."

"The people above must have released our location information. Otherwise, what do you think the photos taken two days ago were for? First, we lured out some of the enemies and encircled and cleaned them up." Without thinking, Pullman spoke. During the war, it is the most common way to deliberately let the enemy detect the traces of some teams and attract the enemy into the encirclement, so as to carry out a pincer attack.

"It won't be easy for the next few days." Adolf also imitated General Pullman and sighed.

"The next few days? Don't be too optimistic! It's all the time in the future!" Originally, he didn't want to say this to break Adolf's inner beautiful fantasy, but just thinking of having to worry all the time alone, the words came out of his throat unconsciously. come out.

Sure enough, General Pullman suddenly felt better when he saw Adolf, who was obviously startled and looked helpless. Although in the end, discomfort will still dominate the majority. It would be much better to talk about unhappy things, General Pullman suddenly understood this truth in his heart.

In a corner of the city, a deserted alley was filled with all kinds of garbage, and the ground looked dark and damp. I don't know how long it took, but a figure walked out of the shadows and let out a long breath. He closed his eyes, as if feeling the changes in the surrounding environment. Two minutes later, he opened his eyes and took out the communicator.
