Steel steam and flame

"This is good news." Cassia replied, not being infected by the deliberately nervous tone. "Preparations will never be perfect, and any change will involve a lot of things. The two parties have been in a stalemate for too long. Let's start with the whole front Only by taking action can we each find the opportunities we need.”

"Mr. Cassia, your idea is not wrong, but it only applies to small-scale sporadic frictions between forces. A head-on war between huge forces, with high-level combat forces involved. If there is a difference between the plan and the actual situation in such an event, The impact is irreversible. You have to be cautious and fully prepared. The senior officials are ambitious, but you can also regard them as the most timid group of people."

"Several core teams of the joint forces are gathering towards your area. You don't have to consider the enemy's airship fleet and most of the ground teams, but for the rest, you need to find a way. Especially the other four dragon knights , if possible, Mr. Cassia, you must clean them up as soon as possible. Their threat is far greater than the airship fleet."

"I try to speed up as much as possible, but the enemy needs to give me a chance. If they want to continue the stalemate, it will take some time. But if Zero arrives, they should be able to find a good opportunity by then."

"That's good." Hai's tone became more relaxed, "As for Miss Ye Jielin, the two teams have been setting off for a long time. They completely bypassed the open battlefield and advanced in secret. However, there is currently no definite information, and the estimated time will have to be It's a few days later. But personally, there is no need to worry too much about Miss Ye Jielin. The enemy's goal is very clear, and Miss Ye Jielin is just a tool in their hands to attract you to the southern forest. Now , the enemy's goal is basically achieved, and the center of gravity will shift to you. The enemy forces around Miss Ye Jielin are probably only in the most basic alert state."

"I hope things will be as we thought." Cassia can only hope at the moment. If possible, Cassia would definitely prefer to lead a team by herself to go deeper into the forest to rescue Ye Jielin. But he knew that what stood between him and Ye Jielin was far more than the approaching Zero and the Dragon Knight hovering in the sky.

After the communication was cut off, Cassia increased the distance from the entrance of the underground cave network to reduce the chance of the enemy discovering it. After walking slowly for thousands of meters, the enemy team following behind him still followed closely, without closing the distance at all. He had the idea of ​​​​rushing up to deal with this small team of only a few people, but was suppressed by Cassia.

The southern forest covers a large area. On a macro level, the terrain is a plain covered with ancient trees. After refinement, it is also a mixed and complex terrain composed of rivers and some low-level slopes. A team of tens of thousands of people is just like a dead leaf in the southern forest. After blending in, it becomes ordinary. It takes time to find it.

Although the range is limited, the length of the battlefield that can be opened is still thousands of kilometers. Given the surgeon's mobility, the extremely fast support speed also requires a certain amount of time to adjust.

Cassia was sometimes afraid that the enemy would not be able to find her. After all, she was acting alone, and many of the things she paid attention to in field operations became her own instincts. Recently, Cassia deliberately left many traces behind him for the enemy so that the enemy would not spend too much effort tracking him.

"I have been exposed in the eyes of the enemy and attracted most of the attention. This is good news for our own team and the two teams heading to the enemy's joint team headquarters. The risks and pressure they bear will be reduced a lot."

Simply climbing up an old tree, Cassia took out the revolver and disassembled it for inspection, not letting his hands idle. His thoughts were running automatically, recalling the whole encounter with this dragon knight, and then sorting out all the information in an orderly manner.

Cassia did not analyze several pieces of information about the dragon knight. The devouring method has been proven to be feasible. We can regard ourselves as the natural enemies of the dragon knights. Even if they have more abilities and cooperation methods, they will not let the subsequent results change. The shortcomings of the Dragon Knight are actually very obvious. No matter how powerful the destructive power of this combination of arms is, or how the two work together to produce many seemingly rogue-like abilities, their basic conditions are the same as those of the Dragon Knight. The closeness of the class connection.

Cassia regards this as the degree of fit. The closer the fit, not only the dragon knight itself, but also the dragons combined with it can perform better.

"Will the degree of compatibility be related to the degree of blood dragonization?" Cassia didn't know how to judge the degree of compatibility. There should be one standard, "The captive dragons combined with the dragon knights seem to be controlled by the Flame Alliance. Some parts of the brain structure have been artificially processed. I originally thought that Cassie Hei had not received systematic education and would appear bulky. But compared with the dragon just now, Cassie Hei looks much better."

"Is it limiting independent thinking and artificially increasing the control power of dragon knights over dragons? Or is this a necessary protection to prevent dragons from becoming stronger in their own thoughts and spirits, which will in turn cause harm to the dragon knights themselves? Dangerous influence? The enemy's body is devoured by his own dragon, which is one of the basis."

Cassia had a lot of unclear things, but he knew that it was enough for him to grasp the key point of "fitness". Most of the Dragon Knight's abilities and threats are based on the "degree of compatibility", but the devouring method can completely cut off the connection between the two.

The dragon knight's thinking ended here, and he sorted and summarized it back to himself.

The strength of the organs and self-healing ability have been resetting Cassia's understanding of herself. The biggest gain is in the bioelectric induction force field. In the battle with the Dragon Knight, I tried a new method of use - attaching the induction force field to the second generation holy sword, the effect achieved is the "invisible extension" of the sword body. , and has an extremely high temperature, far above the red-hot state of the pneumatic sword. This was the revelation Cassia received when she met the empire's group of fifth-stage surgeons in the stripy mountains on the empire's frontier. Although he only saw the appearance at the time and had no idea about the principle, it did not prevent him from judging that the shape of the bioelectric induction force field was not just a spherical film centered on itself. The induced force field can change shape according to control, and can also move away from itself within a certain range.

The only drawback is the energy supply. The cut solid red mercury cannot effectively support the consumption of the bioelectric induction force field. Being able to swing two swords is the result of Cassia burning off a small amount of high-energy fat. However, the bioelectric induction force field is a method that Cassia will not easily use. In contrast, it is the small piece of uranium gold in the body. Therefore, all questions about the induction force field were thrown onto Uranium Gold's head by Cassia.

Cassia then thought about the whale method she had mastered. Cassia has always known that the extent of its development and utilization is too shallow. Nowadays, it is no longer needed to stimulate the proliferation of dragon tissue. The only use is to use this method to obtain surgical capabilities similar to temperature control. As for the freezing air, even if Cassia actively used the giant whale method, it would only show white lines on the black scales, reducing her own body temperature to the maximum. As for the freezing energy, it has never appeared when it is actively activated.

The destructive level of the giant whale's freezing air should be equivalent to that of a dragon's breath. Cassia understood this, but she didn't know how to use it specifically. Information is needed, and Cassia lacks such resources.

The surroundings became quieter and quieter. Cassia lay on the branches of the ancient tree and looked at the light blue sky faintly visible between the gaps in the lush tree canopy.

After Cassia recalled the recent battle again, he ended his thoughts. Close his eyes, diffuse his perception, and probe the surrounding area with sound wave pulses at regular intervals. Cassia went to rest, although he was not tired. It will take time for Zero and other teams to gather here, and even if they gather, whether the encirclement will be immediately launched is a question to be considered.

"I am just a fuse. The Holy Emperor Hall cooperates with the forces of other countries. Its purpose is to force the forces within the empire to express their respective positions as soon as possible, and during the period of Nuoer's departure, Eqira will be hit as hard as possible. The unknown alliance of forces headed by the Andi family? The Red Star is approaching, and the appearance of Noel makes them anxious about whether the subsequent plan can be implemented smoothly." Occasionally, I think about the root cause of this incident, and the situation has evolved to this point. , it is no longer an ordinary little friction.

"But why do I have their own intuition?" Cassia has never thought clearly about the source of this intuition. He has reminded himself many times that in this incident, although he was the center of the vortex, , but that’s not the point, it’s just that,,,

"I admit that I do have potential, but I will definitely not be able to become the King of Knights like Noel. Has the Holy Emperor Hall focused too much attention on me?"

"We are willing to take huge risks and are not afraid of the consequences after Nuo Er comes back. There are also members of the Far Sea Common Country and the Flame Alliance participating. The Holy Emperor Hall has always been in contact with super countries on other continents. This time , is the Holy Emperor Hall simply executing an order given to them by the super country? What will be the content of the order? Killing me means the task is completed?" Thinking of this, Cassia shook his head, "The next step is to start from the enemy. I need to get more information about this mission from my mouth."

,,,,,,

"Cassia stopped in one place and didn't move. It seems that he planned to wait there for us to meet up and then walk up to him."

"I remember that after the dragon knight died, he followed a team of twenty experimental subjects. Didn't it work?"

"The name of the dead dragon knight is Nichols, Mr. Zero." Someone reminded at the side, "The captain of the dragon knight, Mr. Sasir, and Miss Komishur of the Holy Guard immediately went down to see the battlefield traces and corpses. Then they stopped the attack of the experimental team, saying that there was no need for such meaningless consumption and that it was the best choice to reserve their strength and wait for us to join together."

"Nichols? I really don't know his name." Zero's voice was the same as his face, cold and emotionless, "Then how long until we arrive?" Zero looked out the round window as he spoke. The dark green forest below them was like a torrent, being continuously thrown behind them.

"We are hundreds of kilometers apart, and the enemy also has partial air supremacy, so we cannot advance in a straight line and need to go around the determined safe area." After explaining the reason, the speaker gave the approximate result, "At nine o'clock in the evening, we To be able to enter that area, the earliest the three teams can fully merge is around zero hour, Mr. Zero."
