Steel steam and flame

Going deep into the belt-shaped mountains where the border lines meet, and passing the ridgeline in front of them, the small airship went to the mountainside and hovered in mid-air above the ground. The four hatches on the ellipsoidal shell were opened, and several heads poked out to look around briefly before four thin ropes were put down.

A team of nearly a hundred people successively landed on the mountainside relying on the ropes on each airship. Later, light gray packages close to the size of three or four adults were hung on the ropes in an orderly manner and slid down. The whole series of actions was completed in less than one minute.

The four airships immediately turned around and left, but only one seemed to be lingering on something.

"Colonel Will." Inside the hollow airship, a heavily armed man was preparing to hang the lock on the rope. The cabin door of the cab opened, and the voice followed closely.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lidis, you have to remember that this is an order. It comes from Lieutenant General Norman himself. No one among us has the qualifications to resist." Will released the lock and leaned out of the upper part of the hatch. Pulled back by himself, he looked at Lidis standing in front of the cab door, his face full of majesty, "Unconditional execution of orders is the only thing we soldiers need to do, even if we are surgeons."

"I know, Lieutenant Colonel." Lidis raised his voice, "But Colonel, you know..." Will glared back at his next words, and Lidis, who opened his mouth, became a little numb. He understood the meaning of this look, but he still felt it was hugely unfair.

"Next." As if he remembered something, Will took out the identity alloy plate hanging around his neck. It was originally used to help identify his identity after death. On the battlefield, or on every miniaturized battlefield, maintaining the integrity of the body after death carries a lot of luck. Often, except for this special alloy brand, the rest of the body of an artillery piece or an aircraft bomb will be mixed with soil. Maybe after a few months, it will moisten the soil and become nourishment for weeds.

So I always felt that carrying this kind of thing wouldn't be of much use. At least Will regarded it as a bad thing: "It's not a good thing, but it has followed me for more than twenty years. You can keep it for me." , I will get it back from you later. Remember, be smarter when you go back. Lieutenant General Norman is only the highest level we can contact! Just remember this, don’t think too much about other things, and don’t Attempting to explain to anyone or try to get information.”

With that said, Colonel Will hung the lock on the rope again: "Lidis, you still have a lot to do after you go back. Don't keep thinking about this mountain range. To you, this mountain range has never appeared. But you have never been here."

The voice of the words was completely drowned out along with the buzzing sound of the lift device. When Lidis, who was standing by the hatch, regained his energy and took a deep breath, the rope had been automatically retracted and the hatch was gradually closing.

Not long after, close to a hundred heavily armed personnel stood in formation deep in the woods at the foot of a mountain. Colonel Will stood up in front of the team, holding a large number of alloy identification tags in his hand. As if performing a solemn ceremony, he buried it at the foot of a tree under the gaze of the members behind him.

"Remember this location. If any of you are still alive later, take them back. If not..." Colonel Will punched the trunk of the tree, and the branches and leaves immediately rustled. "This is ours." tombstone!"

No one spoke, only eyes were focused on the tree.

"You were all selected from various teams with excellent overall performance. Some of you, like me, even studied in the Imperial Military School when you were young. You are very smart, and you can understand something through your senses and thoughts. Information, you can guess some key information, some of you have even known what is happening here through your family in advance! However, we have our own identity, and now we have our own tasks and goals! I hope this After this incident is over, I or others will wait for each of you to come back alive! But before that, I hope that the mission can be completed by us!"

Colonel Will took a deep breath. He never worried that the people in front of him would escape due to difficulties, nor would they be disturbed by family members or some information that would shake something in their hearts. The Imperial Military has always been relatively pure, and it has always been not Colonel Will or the others who have to think about many things, but their superiors.

Colonel Will successfully graduated from the Military Academy Two-Star Academy in his youth and entered the Imperial Military with the rank of captain. It can be said that he has been out of touch with the world outside the military from the beginning, but this does not prevent him from understanding some things. It's just that he also believes in some things, and he knows what he can do and what he can't touch. As long as you do this, the danger after the mission will never come to you.

This group of people has already passed through the ranks of first and second class warrant officers and meritorious barons for a long, long time.

Under Major Will's order, two dividing lines neatly appeared in the middle and the team was divided into three teams. He and the other two lieutenant colonels each led a team. Following the orders and instructions, each team went to the light gray packages piled aside in an orderly manner and took away all weapons, ammunition and standard supplies for field operations.

On the side, Colonel Will took out a map and reconfirmed the joint combat route of the three teams. When the team gathered into a neat formation again, Colonel Will pulled the other two lieutenant colonels, took out two things similar to signal receivers from his pockets, and handed them to them.

"The signal receiver of the LAN radio has an effective range of 1,500 meters. It is not used to find other teams. You and I listened to Lieutenant General Norman's communication and learned that not all the mountains are our enemies, and this That's the basis for judgment." Lieutenant Colonel Will spoke and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "I hope that after the incident is over, I can board the returning airship with you here."

The light gray parcel bags were buried underground, and all traces were completely removed when the three teams left. For members who have undergone various rigorous trainings, this kind of combat environment among the mountains is easier and simpler for them than the battle lines between the three giant countries.

The only good news now is that the enemy's follow-up team did not pursue them. After the speed slowed down, Cassia chose the right time to let Isha and the others rest.

After that, he set off again, and when the time reached ten o'clock in the morning, Cassia estimated the time of the entire process and got a number that did not make him happy. At ten o'clock, there was still no enemy movement in the sound wave pulse, which made him extremely uneasy.

The worst result of Cassia's guess appeared roughly. The enemy had special transportation when they dispersed the encirclement, and it was almost certainly an empty boat.
