Steel steam and flame

The rain continued, and the coverage fluctuated, suddenly appearing anywhere on the continent.

In the southern forest, the first camp where Nonoska and others are located, the towering ancient trees with trunks spread out like walls spread their branches and leaves, like a curtain blocking the sky. While blocking the light, they did not let the rain fall. All they could hear was the sound of pattering high above their heads, and all they could see were very few raindrops falling from time to time, as if the rain had nothing to do with them below.

The simple house on the top floor of the camp has been expanded to accommodate more people for the frequent discussions and meetings in recent days.

A large round table is made of wooden boards, on which picked wild fruits and fragrant barbecue are symbolically placed. A total of twenty people sat down at the round table, including Nonoska and others, the three captains of the Far Sea United Nations team, three people from the Flame Alliance, and nine people from the Holy Emperor Hall who came later.

The Holy Emperor Hall has activated airships, and a large amount of combat supplies have not only enriched their own team, but have also been distributed in large quantities to Nonoska and the others in recent days. They brought military-grade communication machines to keep the information here in sync with the empire.

Several adjutants handed out the printed information and respectfully left the room. A yellowish lamp made the tree house look particularly warm, and the faces of the twenty people were each painted with different colors.

After flipping through the information, the twenty people sitting around the round table remained silent, as if they were brewing in their hearts what they wanted to say next. It was often Nonoska who broke the situation, and he couldn't bear to waste time in such meetings. Although the meeting was indeed necessary, the changes in the situation within the empire had to force them to make more detailed adjustments to their original preparations. But when the number of people exceeds a certain standard, whether it is decision-making or discussion, progress seems to become difficult.

"I still adhere to the idea of ​​​​a few days ago, to distinguish the respective teams by regions and cooperate with each other. But the regions must be expanded again based on the original divisions. The information about the target Cassia has been confirmed many times and confirmed to be without any errors. There is no need to think about whether it is a card. Siya is lying, deliberately releasing smoke bombs at this juncture to win over the neutral families and put pressure on us. He can ignore the consequences of this information being false, but the Chiraandi family must consider it and do much more For our confirmation. Once the information is false, you should have anticipated the backlash."

"I really hope that things will develop in this direction, but this is an expectation that has no possibility at all. Just think about it." Nonoska was very serious, and her eyes looking around became cold after coming from the Holy Emperor's Hall, " Four days have passed, and Cassia and the Qilaandi family must have started setting off one after another. It only takes ten days at least to reach the edge of the forest from Manoma, which leaves us not much time to implement our choices! "The last words were filled with hidden anger. The people around him seemed to be waiting for instructions, and did not look like they wanted to get a specific result at this moment.

Someone coughed dryly, and a dozen eyes instantly locked onto the source of the sound, the Spider Lady of the Flame Alliance. Nonoska immediately took a deep breath, leaned on the back of the chair, and shook her head slightly.

"My side agrees with Mr. Nonoska's response measures, but we still insist on one thing - before the implementation of the response measures, which party, or should we work together, send out who will be involved? Cassia can already activate the bioelectric induction field." Ms. Spider spoke with a smile and full of sarcasm. They are all deliberately avoiding this problem, but she likes to see the headache expressions of the people around her, although she is also embarrassed by this problem, completely deadlocked and unable to move forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen in the Holy Emperor's Hall, please don't mention No. Zero and Mr. Zero over there! I don't think he can get any benefits from Cassia, who can stimulate the bioelectric induction field. In addition, everyone here Please also stop talking about those surgeries with half a foot in the fourth stage. We are all stage four surgeries. We know that half a foot in the fourth stage is actually a fourth stage. What these people lack is just what the body needs. It takes a while to convert the stored energy. We have discussed many times in the previous games that these four-stage surgeries have a chance to compete with Cassia, but who of you is willing to let these people stand up and face Cassia? Not to mention high-level surgery The preciousness of the attacker, just the restriction that when facing Cassia, they cannot destroy any part of the body except the head, is enough to make them lose all advantages in battle."

"And the target person is Cassia! He is not an ordinary person, let alone a fool with a brain problem. If he cannot complete the task in the first one or two sieges, it is only a matter of time and frequency for this restriction to be noticed by him. Later he was He took advantage of it..." Ms. Spider chuckled and pursed her lips.

"Mr. Nonoska's opinion is the main one here." The three captains of the Far Sea United Nations interrupted unexpectedly, but it did not play any role in regulating the increasingly irritable atmosphere in the room.

"Tomorrow morning at the latest, the superiors will issue instructions. We very much hope that you will also report the situation here to your superiors." The people from the Holy Emperor's Hall finally spoke, with a formulaic tone. I don't think I have to experience such meetings more times. , "It's still this time, and the results will probably be discussed tomorrow morning. But I have a suggestion. Since three of the four parties agree with Nonoska's response measures, expand the scope and use the distance advantage to avoid the target Cassia as much as possible. . Then after we go back, we can each start preparations in this regard. I think there is a high probability that this preparation will be implemented in the end."

Nonoska and others nodded. This was probably the most concession the Holy Emperor Hall had made in the past few days of meetings.

The meeting broke up, and soon Nonoska, Chilman, and Hilary were the only ones left in the treehouse.

"Don't be angry about this." Chilman took out the wine from the counter, poured three glasses, and handed them to Nonoska and Hillary respectively. Then he pulled the barbecue on the table over and grabbed a large piece with his hands, "Well..., this is grilled by the experts from the Flame Alliance. I have wanted to eat it for a long time. We don't want it to go to waste." .”

Nonoska sighed at least, but also showed a little smile, took the barbecue, and ate it more elegantly.

"The Holy Emperor's Hall and the Flame Alliance can still send people over at this moment, so we don't have to worry about how to deal with Cassia. In the early stage, these two parties must be the ones to block it. As for the future, no matter how powerful Cassia is, as long as it is still in the third stage , he must not be able to circumvent the problem of energy storage in the body. Don’t forget that the reproductive isolation between us and ordinary humans begins in the fourth stage. This line is the transformation of the living body, don’t underestimate it.”

"I know, I just feel that the waste of time these days is not worth it." Nonoska responded after listening to Chilman's words.

The southern forest is close to the edge of the Endless Sea. As a wide sea surface gradually freezes into land-like ice, a black shadow gradually grows larger from high in the sky and approaches.
