Steel steam and flame

"What I hope is that it will either come sooner or come slower. Waiting is a kind of psychological torture for everyone. Fortunately for us, the time on the ocean-going giant ship has already given us experience. It was the first time for those students to perform this kind of mission. Hilary Riley said that their training effect was very good. During the period of the Far Sea Republic, the performance and performance data were acceptable. But once faced with this kind of thing, the members of the third stage Not to mention, there are many in the second stage who are still unable to adapt.”

Nonoska looked at Chilman: "The Theocracy is different from the Empire, and it is even very different from the Far Sea Common State. But I think the education system of the Theocracy is excellent. On the Zuoxiang Continent, especially surgery Even if you go to the second stage, it is still a learning period. In the empire, after undergoing surgery, many people will no longer be treated as ordinary people."

"The Theocracy's original intention was probably to use this group of students as an experiment, right?" Chilman followed up with Nonoska's topic, "The internal situation of each super-large country is different. The empire seems peaceful, but there has always been fierce and vicious competition within it, especially between forces. Their imperial parliament can only control the macro level, and is powerless when it comes to details. In summary It is said that the empire does not actually have a real head. It is more like various major forces gathering together for their own interests, relying on agreements and alliances to restrict each other, and forcing them to form a whole to seek greater interests. Among these forces, There are a lot of people who want to be at the head of this convergence.”

"As long as the 'leader' is not determined and cannot be convinced by other forces, vicious competition will always exist." Chillman added that his experience in the black market allowed him to easily analyze the fundamentals of most situations, "But the empire is considered to be good and prosperous because of this. Bad. Just talking about the quality of the surgeons, the overall standard of the empire is higher, whether they are students or people in the black market."

"Is the Theocracy a whole?" Nonoska asked after listening to Chilman's words.

"At least in a broad sense, the orders of the Holy See are more important than anything else. Even members of the royal family have to bow to the Holy See. There are also big forces within the Theocracy, but they are all gradually evolved from several institutions after the royal family and the Holy See gave them rights. They are not at all It will be like the Empire. But like the Theocracy, many things will be very easy to carry out in a unified way. Just like education, when it comes to surgical students, there is a system, and if they want to graduate, the theoretical and practical standards are also nationwide. Universal. Although the standards are not as strict as those of the Empire, if the students who come out want to use it later, with a little training, they can be regarded as reserve troops."

"Here in the empire, the assembled surgeons are more like a task force that exists specifically for a certain task. The difference and nature are different." Probably Chillman's interest in his spare time is also based on intelligence matters. The time I spent in the Far Sea Commonwealth, starting from a blank slate to the detailed understanding now, is a job that requires time and effort.

"Don't worry, we are more like logistics. Once it starts, the main battlefield will still have to rely on people from the empire to support it." Chilman comforted. He knew that he and Nonoska had different growth environments and different beginnings in life, and there were bound to be differences in their understanding of things. "But I have always been curious about what kind of agreement the Holy See of the Theocracy has reached with the forces of the Empire. So that they are willing to help to such an extent. In a few years, the Red Star will come, right? Then everyone will become enemies stabbing each other with knives on the battlefield. This situation seems ridiculous when I think about it now. .”

"It should be said that it is a mistake, and this mistake has existed for thousands of years, but there are still a large group of people who enjoy it and seem not to participate, which is a loss."

"Loss cannot be mentioned. After all, when power and power reach a higher level, more ambitions and desires will always breed. Besides, of course, it does not refer to us. Even the Pope of the Holy See, or the senior officials of the royal family, or those in the Theocracy's research institutions Chief researchers, in fact, they do not fully understand this world. The ocean-going ships for exploration have never been interrupted, and have been sent out one after another. How long has it been, the basic exploration of this world has not been completed. Want to stand better High, after all, they don’t know where the highest point is, so if they don’t know, they can just keep climbing up.”

After Chilman finished speaking, he smiled, Nonoska patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them walked just outside Camp No. 1.

Camp No. 1 was the first to be built, with defense and camouflage completed. The work efficiency of the surgeons and the professionalism of the Jungle Combat Team of the Far Sea Republic. If Nonoska and Chilman had not known the specific location of Camp No. 1, without turning on their perception, what would be in front of them at this moment was nothing more than... A naturally formed group of vines.

Based on old and strong tree trunks, supplemented by branches and vines, Camp No. 1 has been hidden in nature.

The two entered from the entrance, and the scene immediately changed. On the uneven wooden floor, people coming and going were busy making defensive items for several other camps - crushing the excavated boulders and broken rocks, packing them in bags woven from vines, and filling in the gaps. Soil, made into square bricks, resists bullets and bomb fragments.

Arriving at the top floor, Nonoska and Chilman entered a spacious room there and could feel the steaming heat coming in from every crack in the room. I thought only Hilary was there, but there was one more person from the Flame Alliance—the man who had domesticated the second-type creature as a giant black wolf. The people from the Flame Alliance are all in Camp 2. After these interactions, Nonoska and the others have a basic understanding of them. They learned a new knowledge. In the Flame Alliance, whether they are outsiders or familiar people, the names they call each other often depend on the type of second-type creature domesticated by the other party.

Black Wolf is Nonoska's name for the men of the Flame Alliance. Correspondingly, the female member who sat on the armored car-like spider originally added the word "Ms. Spider" after the spider to show respect. Some strange calls, but the other party didn't seem angry.

After Nonoska greeted Heilang, she saw Hilary shaking the new information at him, and understood why Heilang came.

"Let me take a look first." Nonoska took the information and sat down. After reading it carefully, she looked at Hei Lang, "When the people from the Imperial Holy Emperor's Hall come over, do you want to build a separate camp for them? The information said that they will do it themselves. Bring the team and supplies. If it's so formal, it's no surprise that they sent the bait here, preparing to gradually shift the area towards here."

Hei Lang waved his hand after hearing this: "I don't care about the camp. In short, your people will start building it after it is finalized. I want to tell you about the people coming from the Holy Emperor Hall. After they come, this area will be divided into three different areas. People from different countries coexist. There is definitely no big problem with language, but in terms of command, what should we do?"

"Mr. Black Wolf, you should have your own ideas, otherwise you wouldn't have made a special trip here." Nonoska put down the information and said. He could tell that Hei Lang didn't want to deal with the people in the Holy Emperor's Hall, so he wanted to set the rules here before they came over.

"Divide the designated areas according to the number of people." Black Wolf said, "We can support each other, but mixed teams are absolutely impossible. Nonoska, you should know this."

"Yes. The surrounding map should also be surveyed and mapped. After the time is set, we can discuss it first." Nonoska politely replied, "If there are other questions, we can discuss them together at that time."

Black Wolf nodded, but left directly. Then the three people in the room sat down at a simple wooden table. After Chilman also read the information, the conversation continued.

"The person coming at this time is most likely to prevent Cassia's actions." Chilman pulled out a separate piece of information and placed it in the center of the wooden table. "I don't quite understand the meaning of these data, but I understand the importance. "

Nonoska and Hilary Lee both took a look. Hillary was the first to speak: "Regarding blood concentration, one of them focuses on the percentage of draconic transformation. The surgeon is a species between ordinary humans and second-category creatures. The stages of surgery are different, so corresponding..."

Hilary paused: "In short, Cassia's current percentage should take five stages to reach. Just know this. So correspondingly, the first point, according to all the information we collected about him, is now in three At this stage of Cassia, there is almost no one who can defeat him in a single battle, theoretically. I don’t know the situation of the Holy See of the Theocracy and the younger generation of the three major knights. Those who are candidates for the Pope’s successor, as well as those who have confirmed the Saint Perhaps we can find one or two among those with sub-identity. In addition, within the empire, I think the one who can be equal to Cassia is the Zero who is currently active in Manoma."

"Then the second point." Nonoska said on behalf of Hilarelli, "Cassia is regarded as a similar third-generation knight king in the empire. There are such data in the third stage. In the eyes of many people, this This is the most favorable evidence. This tells the powerful families in the empire that as long as Cassia does not die in the process, it is possible to follow the same path as the third-generation Knight King in the future."

"Coupled with Cassia's relationship with the third-generation Knight King..." Chillman said to himself, he looked at the information again, "As long as there is enough time and no accidents occur, the ultimate power of the two Popes... ,"

Chilman looked at Nonoska: "Those words we just talked about on the way back may be realized by the two of them. It is certainly impossible to say that the dominance and deterrence of the Holy See have nothing to do with the successive popes. It lacks This is exactly what the 'chief's' empire needs."

"That will happen in the future." Nonoska said with thought on her face, "Now, the Holy Emperor's Hall will send someone to come in advance, and they also know that even if there is No. The image that has been established in the hearts of most people from the beginning cannot be shattered by Zero alone. They have to consider the impact of this information after it spreads in the empire - the neutral power families who have not expressed their stance, and The families that are cooperating with them will be difficult to deal with if any one of them makes some moves in private."

"So in the end you have to rely on your own people." Chilman added, "We are all ferocious beasts in this country. It doesn't mean that no one can kill anyone, but you are determined to kill another ferocious beast. At this time, you have to know that in the dark, other beasts have heard the sound and rushed over to watch, waiting for you to make the final blow when you are weak. The positions of cicadas, oriole, and mantises are not determined in the empire. None of them have This is likely to happen to the 'head' of dominance and deterrence, but..."

"But the empire can actually rely on this balance to survive a thousand years?" Nonoska sighed with a smile, "This is probably caused by the passive alliance between the Theocracy and the Nature Association. Because the empire knows that besides itself, there are two other beasts. Keep watching them. Therefore, apart from the empire itself, both the left prime minister and the right prime minister of the mainland are responsible for keeping this situation so long."
