Steel steam and flame

The Ribbon Mountains have not been quiet in recent days, but the friction between the two cannot be called intense. In the battle between infiltration and counter-infiltration, the advance preparation of each area often gives them an advantage in these battles, but the advantage is also decreasing at a visible speed. This point was particularly prominent in Mousse’s discussion. The enemy's march in the mountains is getting smoother, perhaps because of the rapid accumulation of experience.

The number of casualties maintained a balance every day. After the fierce battles in the first few days, a sense of laziness appeared on both sides at the same time. Perhaps this description is not appropriate. In fact, from the beginning, the organization invaded the mountains as a small team across the board, and now it has become a planned and targeted advancement, which plays an important role in stabilizing its own situation.

According to the plan, the mobilization and cooperation of more than a dozen teams caused more and more losses to the empire.

"Yesterday, those teams came to us again." The compressed food made a crisp sound in his mouth. As the owner of this airship, Mousse often acted as host and provoked topics, "A hundred Many people tried to encircle them, but in the end they were able to successfully break through, but they were not able to delay the arrival of the support team.”

"Our adjutants must have told you this news. They seem to be three well-manned teams. The equipment cannot be said to be good. But from the few people alive, we know that although these people are not very strong, they are in the mountains. I have a lot of experience fighting in the jungle, and the tacit cooperation with them makes their overall strength very terrifying. If you encounter them alone, so far, apart from escaping as much as possible, there is no team that can collide with them." Augustus from the Three Primary Colors Group Putting down the compressed food packaging bag, he poured himself a glass of wine while talking, "A very professional team. Most of the personnel we brought here this time have received excellent training and have experience in such regional operations. But compared with these teams, the gap is not as simple as a little bit. Specialization, just like the engineers engaged in technical work within the company, the atmosphere when doing things is completely different."

This news was also mentioned a few days ago, but it didn't receive much attention. As the teams that have been annihilated in recent days have accumulated, they have gradually come into the sight of the people in charge in each region.

"It can almost be ruled out that it is a mercenary team. Strong mercenaries will not accept employment and come here. Although there is a point in the intelligence that 'personal strength' is not outstanding, the level of the two is not the same. Some are like family members who have been here for a long time. The trained private team was sent here to fight. Are they from the Chira Andi family? Or were they formed by Ye Jielin herself? Personally, I think the possibility of Ye Jielin's own formation is very low." While Augustus was drinking, Saint Gede continued, "In addition, I wonder if you have received similar news?"

St. Gerd's words immediately attracted the attention of the other three people, and he immediately understood the answer: "You know that the area I oversee is nearby, and you can get some information more easily. It was my adjutant who made the trip himself. , I went to several battle venues to actually look at it. The result..." A smile on the face, the kind that makes people feel comfortable, although this is also a fake smile skill left over from Saint Gerd's stage of the Holy Envoy. "It has the smell of the empire and the military. My adjutant said that the other party cannot be described simply as 'professional' to a certain extent. Standing in the field after the battle, based on the lack of cleaning traces, Looking back at the battle scene at that time, I can feel something."

"The other party's experience is by no means limited to the word 'professional', it is more like a textbook-like module that can be used as a learning reference for many teams."

"Military headquarters?" Not only Mousse was very interested, but the other three people also had strong curiosity. "Think about it this way, there will indeed be teams in the empire and military headquarters that are experienced in mountain and jungle battles and have tacit cooperation. . But if military personnel are involved this time, we should get some information, right?"

"According to common sense, this is the case, but there are some tasks,..., maybe this mission is - not considering the recovery of the body, the survival probability of the team, logistics and medical care, etc., etc., and if the rank of the person who issued the order is not considered, It is high enough that such traces cannot be recorded at all. At the border lines where there is friction in various parts of the empire, just randomly add some names of people to the death list to ensure that no traces are left." August said This process is very familiar. When he dealt with internal problems within the Three Primary Colors Group, he often used similar methods in dispatching.

"Will it affect us?" Silent Lidion asked.

"If it takes longer, they will have an impact when they enter the area under our supervision." Mousse replied, "But I don't think they can wait for that time. As long as our plan for the target is successful, the belt mountains will lose their value." It’s a matter of a moment.”

"Then let's talk about it as relaxing news. Even if people from the military are involved, the top people should be worried. There isn't much we can do." Lidian elaborated his point of view very seriously. There is no emotion at all, just like the rocks on the coast that have been beaten countless times by the waves, without any impurities, "It's time, Mavis will be here soon." After saying that, Lidion gulped down the compressed food in his hand. , swallowed it together with a few sips of wine.

It had been a pattern for several days. Five minutes after Mavis's communication, when the buzzing sound of the lifting device was heard in the sky, Mous and the other four people radiated perception in one direction each. There was nothing unusual around them, at least within two thousand meters. As for the further distance, the time bought by the distance of two thousand meters is enough for them to prepare for emergencies.

The rope was lowered, and the four of them pulled themselves onto the airship directly with their arm strength. After a brief morning greeting, the side door of the cabin was closed, and the airship ascended.

"There aren't many things left. It will be finished in about two days." It was Mavis who came out to greet them. The five of them were smiling and walking towards the room where daily discussions and information were reviewed. However, there was a huge muffled sound of the bulletproof glass of the cabin breaking, and the strong wind that poured in filled the entire room at an extremely fast speed and rushed into the faces of Mavis and the others.

"Aerial bomb! Enemy attack!" Agnes's roar shook their eardrums through several layers of steel plates. In the nearly closed space, the gunshots that sounded almost simultaneously appeared to be explosive, each blow hitting their hearts.
