Steel steam and flame

Early the next morning, Cassia, who spent the night in the central area of ​​Manoma, came to the viewing area on the high-rise building again and looked at the Qilaandi family residence in the distance. A group of people with various cameras were capturing the morning sun, and Cassia, who came empty-handed, looked out of place. After memorizing the road map during the day, Cassia went downstairs and disappeared on the road where traffic gathered.

The calm came beyond prediction and remained there in acquiescence. It can be seen that there are undercurrents everywhere, but if they want to destroy the extremely tense surface, they need something sharp to pierce and open a hole.

Somewhere in the southern forest within the empire, this is the depth of the forest that has never been destroyed. Nonoska and Chilman, holding different monitoring machines in their hands, were determining whether their coordinates were within a reasonable range.

"The forest can be called an excellent barrier, filtering out some people who are not strong enough." During the break, Nonoska jumped on the trunk of an ancient tree, leaned there, and took out the steel wine that he carried with him. After taking a sip from the pot, he threw it to Chilman next to him. "The news came too suddenly. It should be that the situation in the Theocracy has changed."

"The movement of the whirlpool in the extreme sea can be observed from a very far away. I also know that there are some movements that cannot be accepted without strength exceeding a certain standard line. The Nature Association Alliance has many ways to know the situation there, and the Theocracy has always been aware of the situation there. The polar sea vortex remains open, which explains some problems. The Nature Association should have negotiated with the Theocracy, otherwise this news would not have been conveyed to us recently."

Chilman drank the wine from the small hip flask without any politeness, and threw the empty steel flask back to Nonoska: "It must be very early, choose this forest." It’s not a temporary decision, it’s a plan that took into account the Flame Alliance and the Nature Association. Forests, primitive landscapes, and areas infinitely close to extreme areas are just the best places to display their strength.”

"This is a good thing for us. The pressure will naturally be relieved by half, and the completion of the mission is no longer just our problem. With the Flame Alliance preparing in the dark, unless the knight king of the empire comes back, there will be no failure this time possibility."

"It's enough to have a confident person like you in the team. As a complementary person, I will consider the worst case scenario." Nonoska smiled, turning her head and looking to the side, looking past the trunks of ancient wooden walls and looking into the distance.

"It's up to you. It's always a good thing to be cautious."

Chilman jumped from the old tree before Nonoska. There are not many dead leaves here, just a very shallow layer. The ground is much wider than the edge of the forest because the cover of each ancient tree extends much wider. Most of them are exposed black soil. Near the tree pockets, there are several twisted and knotted roots. They are like the red copper pipes of the power engine that were randomly welded by unskilled maintenance technicians. They are squeezed into a ball, with light yellow dry bark. Looks like a rusty abandoned ventilation pipe.

Deep in the forest, the plants and ancient trees are indeed too huge, and it is extremely easy to break through the height limits of nature.

The sound was very slight, because the other party didn't cover it up. Under the towering ancient trees, a team of nearly a hundred people appeared. In the years since they returned to the Islamic State, Chilman and Nonoska have accumulated various knowledge, and they were not surprised by what they saw in front of them.

It is said that it is a team of 100 people. In fact, for the Flame Alliance and the Nature Association Alliance, the number usually needs to be increased by 1.5 times to be considered a more accurate value. The various second-category creatures around him are almost all stronger than or equal to their masters. Some members have more than one Type 2 creature, and in some cases, if one party has the leadership ability, some Type 2 creatures can also drive similar species in the natural environment to make them their helpers.

Chilman and Nonoska believed that the other party must have such members, as well as this second type of creature.

There were also three people at the head, one was sitting on a huge black wolf, one was standing on a spider that looked like a giant armored vehicle, and the remaining one seemed to be on foot. Nonoska didn't see anything like that next to him. The second type of creature, but his first impression told him that this ordinary-looking man was the most dangerous person in this team. Judging from the breath, the strength of the first three people is roughly the same as myself. This should also be the result of discussions between the Theocratic State and the Nature Association.

However, that ordinary man made Nonoska a little concerned.

"Hello, friends of the Flame Alliance." Nonoska said politely, and the other three responded politely. During the order, the woman on the spider led the team to the side, and the remaining two men walked towards Nonoska and Chilman.

"That's it for the greetings. The new information we got when we came came from the empire. You probably haven't received it yet. I need to share it with you." In the not-so-standard Theocracy's language, the man on the black wolf jumped down and approached three As he talked and walked, the meter-high wolf took out a stack of photos nearly fifteen or six centimeters thick from his small satchel.

,,,,,,

"Are these all the photos?" The headquarters of the Holy Emperor's Hall, as a holy place that millions of believers in the empire yearn for, even at night, the rendering of lights will make it impossible to have a substantial night existence. When contemporary Saint Emperors often work at night, they spend a lot of time closing the curtains to block the cold light without any temperature outside the window to irritate their eyes.

The Holy Emperor had just finished reading what his assistant handed over - a small cardboard box full of color photos.

The Holy Emperor came into contact with photography when he was young, and he could tell at a glance that the original photos had been processed, at least in terms of the location, lighting, and attire of the characters, and the person who took the photos was also a professional among professionals, otherwise the photos would not look good. This effect comes.

"That's all, Lord Holy Emperor." The assistant said respectfully, "Not only Manoma, but also some famous black market intelligence dealers in other regions of the empire received these things almost at the same time. According to different regions, each region Inside, the photos collected by the intelligence dealer are also slightly different. This is the result of collection and aggregation by various temples. If it is not ruled out that the other party will release the photos again in the future, then this is probably all, Lord Holy Emperor. "

The Holy Emperor nodded. When he turned his head and looked at the wall clock on the wall, his eyes, face and body showed age and fatigue that could not match time. It was now past 11 o'clock at night. Even though there were high-end medical institutions that regularly checked and "maintained" his health, those who could not undergo surgery, as ordinary people, had their limits after all.

"Go down, remember to send the other copies to other adults as soon as possible." The Holy Emperor waved with a heavy sigh, and began to sort out the photos scattered on the table and put them back into the cardboard box. The assistant left smoothly and closed the door gently.

After sorting out the photos, the Holy Emperor was really tired. After exhaling, he leaned directly on the back of the soft chair and looked at the ceiling with dull eyes. He didn't close his eyes until the light from the lamp stung his eyes. When you close your eyes, it's like a short sleep break.

"Dong,,,dong,,,dong,,," the wall clock sounded the time at midnight, and the Holy Emperor opened his eyes. He clenched his fist, touched the sharp corner of the desk with the inside of his wrist, and then put it to his ear.

"Lord Holy Emperor, you really like to contact me at night..." There was seriousness in the lazy voice.

"I think you've seen all the photos." The Holy Emperor said.

"Look, what's the problem?"

"That sword, the lines on the hilt, that's the key point!"
