Steel steam and flame

Nighthawk and the rest, who were resting, all stood up and looked at Cassia who was walking over. Perhaps except for Isa, everyone else thought that Cassia had found a good way. Only Isa had a strange kind of psychological preparation, not because of intuition, but because she had the Flame Alliance border forest incident as a reference, which made her think more than Nighthawk and the others.

The auxiliary team and the members with unfamiliar faces also noticed this, and Cassia, who thought clearly, naturally ignored them. The surgeon's life is usually between 120 and 30 years old. During this long period of time, he will meet and encounter various kinds of people, and a huge number of them.

There is no need to ruin your mood for a few people. After a few days, or a week or two, fresh faces will completely cover their information. This is Cassia's point of view.

Cassia took off the steel-cased bomb from her body and gave it to Isa and the others along with the magazine-type pistol. He just asked for a few more flash bombs and took an imperial-style forged steel sword from the captain. Cassia remembered that she used this standard cold weapon when she practiced swordsmanship hard in the military school. It would be nice if there was that kind of slender stabbing sword here. Cassia's comforting psychology can always find something to make herself sigh.

He is already fully armed in Cassia's mind, and the bonus effect of hot weapons on him is far less than that of a good tactical knife. Looking directly at Isa and others, Cassia said in a calm voice: "The threat from airships to you is fatal. After simulating several feasible solutions, none of them will allow you to reach the end. Maybe you can find the right choice by continuing to think. method, but the time and actual implementation are definitely different from reality.”

"First point, the enemy's information is incomplete. The number and equipment strength are all unknown. Second point, the total strength of our twenty or so people is not enough to pose a threat to the enemy. If there are enemy captains, Or if someone like an adjutant is present, the difficulty of breaking through the encirclement will be multiplied several times."

Cassia paused here, with a look of careful consideration on her face: "Maybe the actual situation is more cruel, but you probably also know this - you can't help me by following me. So considering these factors , I think the only way to help you escape from this mountain range in the future is for me to destroy the enemy's encirclement in advance alone."

"We should be able to play some role, right? Cover on the side or something like that." Owl said, "I believe in your strength, Mr. Soriato, but you also told us about the threat of airships. The enemy's airships Cooperate with the ground troops, regardless of the intensity, just the quantity, I think what you call going ahead and tearing a hole in the enemy's encirclement..."

"Quantity is the least important thing. What matters is time." Cassia emphasized, with emphasis.

"In front is the enemy's ever-shrinking encirclement, and behind is the team that is constantly pursuing them. The enemy will definitely use communications to link them up, ensuring that when they meet us, teams from both sides will arrive at the same time to form a pincer attack. Currently, with your With speed and endurance, there is no way to break through this kind of offensive." As he spoke, Cassia took off the second-generation holy sword wrapped in black cloth behind him and motioned for the owl to catch it and take a look.

The owl was confused, but Isa and Nighthawk behind him suddenly remembered something. From the beginning, the two of them seemed to filter this out naturally. Perhaps they didn't expect it at all. Although both of them knew that the suitcase was indeed very heavy, they really didn't know where the unusual weight came from. Seeing Cassia's actions, Isa and Nighthawk found the answer. The owl that took over the holy sword the next moment also looked at Cassia in shock.

"I understand." There were no more words. The fact felt in his hands made the owl immediately answer, "What do we need to do?"

"Try to maintain the current speed as much as possible, keep up with the marks I made along the way, and catch up with me. You can take a few breaks in the middle, but you must pay attention to the time. I estimate it will be about three hours. The enemy team will double-team in front and behind. Time together. This is related to whether you can evacuate safely, so please be careful." Cassia took back the second-generation holy sword and checked the weapons and equipment on her body again.

"Mr. Soriato, regardless of success or failure, I am grateful for everything you have done for us." The owl bent down, his words full of gratitude.

"Success will definitely happen, but the result may not necessarily be good in the end. You must be mentally prepared." Cassia replied, "Quantity is just a number to me. It's not this kind of thing that I have been worried about. .”

"Be careful." Cassia went to a tree and pulled out a tactical knife and made a mark on the trunk. "This is the mark. I will move forward in a straight line, and the distance will be about one thousand meters. Carefully some."

After saying that, Cassia looked at the back of the team, then looked again at the light blue sky cut by the shade of the trees in front of her, and set off early alone. There was no need to worry about whether Isa and the others could keep up with him. In a few breaths, Cassia disappeared from everyone's sight. Afterwards, Owl and others cleaned up the traces here, with less than a minute interval, and began to chase Cassia's footsteps.

Ahead, one minute is enough for Cassia to separate a long distance from Owl and the others. Running at full speed without restrictions, even with the second-generation Holy Sword, is still as fast as running on a flat wilderness, but it just requires Cassia to concentrate more.

The estimated three hours was based on Isa's speed as a reference. Cassia quickly converted it to her own and came up with a calculation result of forty minutes. But the ten minutes before contact with the enemy will definitely slow down and be used as a warm-up.

When there was no one else around, and it was all a flowing forest environment, Cassia felt a long-lost sense of comfort and relaxation. As if he was back where he should belong, his breathing seemed to become easier. Being alone may have been a liberating quality for Cassia from the beginning. Being alone for so long seems to have become the norm and a habit.

With the wind roaring in her ears, Cassia stared ahead, but in her head, she already had a way to deal with the enemy. It needs to be done as quickly as possible and on a large scale. Excluding breath, which is almost impossible to use at will, only low-pitched waves are left. But considering the general level of enemies in the belt mountains this time, Cassia didn't think that low waves could take away many people.

"About a quarter." Cassia said to herself, "In the end, I still have to rely on this tireless body that is always moving."
