Steel steam and flame

As the airship descends, the place becomes busy. Several teams of surgeons came here with the supplies, and they were taken to the cave to rest.

"The former abandoned mining plant of Imperial Mining Company?" After entering the cave, there is a tunnel of only one or two hundred meters, reinforced with special concrete. After that, there is a vast space. Under the circular dome is a roughly hemispherical artificial palace cavity, connected by nearly thirty mines in different directions.

There are many small cavities of different sizes dug into the hemispherical stone walls. They were used as temporary offices and warehouses for storing basic supplies. Most of them are now resting areas. A new central air circulation system was brought from Imperial and installed for temporary use. Fortunately, Imperial Mining, one of the seven giant companies, is not a small company. Even though the mineral resources here have been mined, many facilities have been moved away one after another in the later years, but the things left behind are full of the smell of time. , and can still be used well.

"It was someone from their side who contacted Lord Mavis and told him that there are abandoned mines in this area that can be used. There are three of them, not too far apart. This is one of them, owned by our Astus family. Use it, and the rest are people from the five major prince families." In front of the team, the leader gave the answer, "We got detailed drawings and prepared peripheral defense measures. During this period, several In accordance with the order, the team separated for a generation to conduct actual terrain detection around them, as well as find the fastest route to move, transfer and support others. It is almost completed."

"According to the order issued by Lord Mavis later, mechanical sensors are also being laid out in an orderly manner. Because the signal from each sensor needs to be connected to the communication machine, the progress is extremely slow. Now we are only doing the basics. , something like a switch that fires off a signal flare when it is touched. If we want to meet Miss Mavis’s requirements, it will definitely be too late in terms of time and materials.”

"No, just flares will do. There are induction devices that connect signals to communication machines, but most of them only exist in some important bases and fortresses. Besides, without professionals, it's impossible for you alone to achieve it. By then Just remember to choose a dozen people with excellent eyesight." After listening to the report, the female voice responded.

"I heard that Miss Mavis will come over?" the woman asked. She and several people around her were walking along the edge of the hemispherical space, with supplies on the side. Basic weapons and ammunition, such as guns and bullets, are not here. Almost all of the items placed here are artillery and miniaturized aerial bombs carried by squads.

"Lady Mavis sent a communication three days ago saying she would come over. She is expected to arrive here at noon tomorrow, Lady Violet." The man leading the way answered seriously.

Violet said "hmm" and seemed to be thinking about something. While talking, a group of people entered a cavity room inside a stone wall along the edge, where five people were sitting.

"Miss Violet, I thought you were here first." It was Ovelia who spoke, wearing a leather combat uniform, but also wearing a thin windbreaker, with the air circulation system fully turned on. It doesn't feel hot.

"Something happened on the way. I found an airship that was not registered on the route. For safety, I chose to change the course in advance to avoid it. Later I found out that it seemed to be someone from the Holy Emperor Hall." Vallie shrugged. A look of relief appeared on Te's face, "These three are..." Her eyes moved to the side of Ovelia. One person she recognized was the administrator of the experimental subject, and the other three were all students. Faces, two male, one female. Judging from the physical characteristics, it is easy to find that none of the three people look like people from the empire.

"Three captains of the kinetic armor team of the Far Sea Commonwealth." Ovelia's words seemed very solemn. "Due to some agreements, among the large number of teams, only the kinetic armor team was allowed to enter the empire. This time it is us and them. Form a team together to support and monitor this area."

The three of them nodded politely, but did not speak. They just waited for Ovelia to introduce them one by one.

Violet looked like she understood. After greeting the people from the Far Sea Commonwealth, she glanced at the map on the table and was about to say something before she remembered something else.

"Did you ask your family to transport the armor?" The kinetic armor gave Violet some information to make her guess. Because he was separated from Ovelia when he left Manoma and was not in the same team, the information about Ovelia is not very sufficient. "Aren't you mobilizing those things?" Weier Lit refers to the experimental subject.

"No." He answered simply, and Ovelia pulled the map on the table over a little. "I received news that someone from a small country came to take over, so I decided to activate the armor midway. And this time there happened to be kinetic armor. Team, I think the cooperation between each other may achieve good results.”

"I don't deny your idea, but the opponent is Ye Jielin, and the Webley Arms Company behind him has weapons specially designed to deal with armors. We can only hope that the opponent does not think of this, otherwise the huge size will only become a firepower attraction stuff."

Ovelia smiled and did not refute Violet's words, "Big size does not necessarily mean bulky."

After the casual conversation ended, several people quickly entered into discussions. The main task at present is to rationally allocate limited teams according to the terrain conditions here, so as to achieve the goal of not exposing gaps and relatively timely actions and support.

"I don't know how long it will take for the other party to start taking action and where they will sneak into the empire."

"The border area is like a checkpoint. If the opponent breaks through and enters the empire, the difficulty of tracking and investigation will be determined. We can only give the opportunity to Ye Jielin. It is not a small country. The huge scope of the empire swallows such a small number of people. It is completely It won't stir up anything." By early morning, after most of the team allocation issues were completed, several people left the conference room-like room. Ovelia and Violet walked together to the quiet tarmac.

There are many stars in the night sky, and soon it will be a standard summer day again.

"Where's Hai? I remember he was in the same team as you." At the edge of the tarmac, the two of them looked at the shadow blocking their vision. "It's been confirmed that Mavis will come. This is a very important time for us. Good opportunity. McDonald is determined to quit, and among the remaining four, Mavis and Isabel, who remains in Manoma, are the best to deal with."

"I don't know where he is." Violet replied, "But not long ago, he contacted me once and told us that everything was going according to plan, and at several key nodes, he would tell us in advance what to do. , where Mavis needs to be guided.”

"So..." Ovelia felt emotional in her heart for a moment, so much so that she couldn't seem to suppress the bright red cross pupils in her eyes. It's one of the side effects she's had since she came out of the culture jar.

"He should have seen Cassia, judging from the sharp voice."
