Steel steam and flame

The sky began to brighten and there were a few more clouds, and Cassia's mood improved a lot. From the beginning, I knew that the purpose of Zero and others was to hold them back and prevent the pressure they put on the enemy from going to the large ground team, so Cassia did not expect that the first collision in the near future would go all the way. Both sides are exhausted to the limit.

Judging from the current situation, both Cassia and Number Zero are anxious. Cassia needs to find the right opportunity to eliminate as many experimental subjects as possible before the enemy realizes the crisis, and take away at least three dragon knights from the opponent before they evacuate. Zero and the others were trying to contain Cassia so that he could not put pressure on the ground team, and try to reduce the casualties of their own team.

Both parties have aspects that must be carefully considered, but in terms of analysis of the results and situation, Cassia has much more to consider and the pressure on him than No. 0's side. Because in the ground team, Cassia's side has always been at a disadvantage.

"I hope the heavy rain will come as soon as possible." Cassia leaned against the foot of the ancient tree, tilted her head against the trunk, and closed her eyes. The environmental effects and impacts that heavy rainstorms can have are, to a certain extent, better than those caused by forest fires within a certain area. Cassia herself prefers heavy rain weather, because ambient sound can greatly enhance the effect of sonic pulses.

"During the battle in the afternoon, the dragon knights in the sky probably also detected anomalies in sound waves. It can be concluded that Zero and the others already know their abilities in sound." Cassiado was sorting out the preparations before the battle. Intelligence, comparing the information gap between the two parties, "The incision on the dragon's corpse also exposed the second-generation holy sword, but they will only know that I have the ability to cut off the dragon's body. On the second-generation holy sword, It should be after actual contact that they will fully know the situation of this sword."

"Through No. 0, the enemy will also know the specific appearance of my scaly state. There is no need to hide this aspect. The toxicity and corrosiveness of the blood are not exposed. If used properly, not to mention serious injuries, one or two of them will be killed. The problem of an elite member will not be a big one. In the future, after the solid red mercury cutting, if you slightly hide the burst of power and speed when fighting Zero, it is very likely that you will take away someone again. A powerful person, or several experimental subjects."

"If you can't actively activate the freezing energy, the giant whale method will not be taken into account. The removal of the inhibitory tube,..., as this body changes, the inhibitory tube is also dispensable for me, unless the current one in the body is removed. Remove all the suppressor tubes, otherwise it will be of little significance and the effect will be far inferior to that of previous years. The key lies in endurance and energy. A conservative estimate of the number of times you can use fifteen consecutive breaths will be your most important winning point. . However, combat experience within this range may also be an advantage for me. The remaining one is Cassie Black, which can completely turn the battlefield situation around when given the right opportunity."

"Finally, there is a situation that I cannot be sure of - after absorbing uranium gold, the bioelectric induction field will have a blessing effect on myself. Without data and reference, I can only wait until then to temporarily judge the strength. I hope I will not use this in the future. Something dangerous."

The analysis was almost over. Cassia opened her eyes and looked forward. In the no longer dense darkness, the low-light vision allowed visibility to more than ten meters away. There was still no insect chirping, but it was because the clouds were increasing. As the morning approached, the wind became stronger, and there was a slight rustling sound in the canopy of trees overhead.

"This incident is over, maybe you can find some time to visit various parts of the empire." I don't know if the sound of friction made Cassia feel calmer, or if it was a way of adjusting to his relaxed state. Looking back on the past, Cassia felt that many things were done in a hurry and there was no time to stop.

"According to the normal chronological order, I just graduated from the Imperial Heavy Industry School not long ago." After muttering to himself, Cassia stood up and walked to the side several thousand meters away. A fluorescent mark looked particularly bright in the darkness. It was a box nearly two meters long, containing weapons and equipment collected from the nearby ground team, as well as the clothes Cassia needed.

The bullets of the heavy sniper rifle with a caliber of 20 mm have been replenished, but there is still no special type of ammunition that Cassia wants. In such a large-scale battle, the chance of custom-made firearms appearing is almost zero. Being far away from the supply point, there will always be logistical problems. Once a problem occurs, the customized weapons can only be scrapped.

With the addition of high-energy fuel, a device the size of a baby's fist with a structure similar to a glow stick can burn violently in about ten seconds after being crushed, which can well meet Cassia's requirement to easily ignite a part of the forest with fire. Ammunitions such as flash bombs have been abandoned. Such tricky attacks will no longer be effective against enemies encountered later.

Cassia swept out a clearing and dropped a crushed high-energy fuel ball. Crossing his legs, Cassia disassembled the heavy sniper rifle in the firelight, cleaned the dirt and dust, and inspected it. This kind of preparation doesn't really mean much, but it can bring peace of mind and calm most of the time.

I couldn't help but think of Kara, as well as my mother and sister Lilia. Recently, news about him is not limited to the empire, but has spread everywhere. Kara, who will definitely come into contact with the dark world, will definitely know the news about herself. I wonder what thoughts she will have, Cassia thought.

The disassembly of mother and sister Lilia stopped at this moment. Cassia looked at the high-energy fuel ball that continued to burn and emit light, and sighed, as if she wanted to spit out all the air in her chest. My sister Lilia is four years older and must have grown quite a bit in stature, and my mother...

My mother will never have any contact with the dark world, but she will definitely find information about me in her own way. However, my own information has long been deleted from the super analysis machines throughout the empire, and paper files are even less likely to survive. In the ordinary world, I no longer exist a long time ago.

After thinking about this, all my emotions turned into sighs. Cassia shook her head, sealing these emotions deep in her heart, and returned her attention to the heavy sniper rifle.

,,,,,,

The team's forward speed was controlled by two members of the Holy Guard. It was neither too fast nor too slow, just enough to ensure that they could reach the edge of the target stop area before dawn and rest for about ten minutes. They don't chase time too much. They themselves believe that the collision with the target will not be limited to this one time. There will be many back and forths in the future. The results will slowly appear until the situation on the entire battlefield becomes tilted. And this tilt has little to do with them.

The gray skylight increased visibility rapidly within the last ten minutes. The team had advanced no more than a few thousand meters when the orange-red mottled morning sun rays slanted down from the leaves and passed through the light mist surrounding the ancient trees, forming a real-life bright strip.

As the sun rose, the entire team stopped at this moment, formed a defensive formation and began to rest. The atmosphere in the team was heavy. The dawn did not bring warmth to them. On the contrary, the coldness in the early morning intensified.

Sawyer looked ahead, surrounded by fog, it was so hazy that nothing could be observed. Turning around and going to the kinetic armor team, Sawyer observed the faces of the team members after opening their masks. They are all members who have undergone rigorous training and have participated in various missions, but no one will feel relaxed when facing an enemy like the target Cassia. In the past, only giant war machines and airships in the sky could cause such damage. But there are corresponding teams and personnel to deal with these two things, so the pressure will not come to them. Now,,,

Sawyer was in a complicated mood and said nothing, returning to Zero and his group.

"The fog will dissipate in about half an hour. This is already the edge of the target location obtained by the reconnaissance. If we go further, we might be able to see Cassia waiting for us on an ancient tree a few thousand meters later. Of course, it is very possible that we cannot see the target. He will delay time, consume our endurance and energy, and wait until the right time before he takes the initiative to attack."

"We cannot passively defend, but we must take the initiative to attack. How to determine his location is also the most direct problem at the moment. Even if we use the team as a unit to send out for reconnaissance, it will only take the initiative to send us to Cassia and reduce the number of members on our own. .”

"Let the surrounding ground troops gather together to surround this area?" Someone gave a suggestion and pointed to the map on the ground. "Although this area is also the activity area of ​​the opponent's ground troops, in terms of the number of teams, because we Taking advantage, after the two meet and fight, time permits, we can not only eliminate some of the opponent's ground troops, but also force Cassia to show up after the opponent can no longer bear the losses."

"During the battle between the ground forces, Mr. Sasir and the others will be able to exert their absolute advantage as dragon knights. As long as an enemy ground team is found by us, with the power of the dragon knights, we only need..." The speaker looked at the potential Mishuer cast a questioning look.

But Mishuer shook the communicator in his hand, and after a few breaths, a response came from there: "It only takes a few seconds to use Dragon Breath, but it consumes a lot of money. Under normal circumstances, it takes no more than two minutes, but if the enemy disperses and evacuates, it will A few will escape." Sasir in the sky gave the standard answer.

"But we must also consider the airship fleet behind the opponent. The dragon knight penetrates too far, and the opponent cannot let the opportunity go without seizing it."

"We say it is to annihilate the opponent's ground forces, but in fact we will only do it when we have the opportunity. What we have to do is to turn the Dragon Knight's advantage into pressure and pass it on to the target Cassia, forcing him to show up and involve us. , to prevent us from causing heavy losses to their ground team if we seize the opportunity." Jeremy interjected at this time, as if to explain.

"And during the Dragon Knight operation, part of the experimental subjects will also be liberated. We will enter this area at the same time, go to find Cassia, and the two ends will move together." Zero spoke at this time, "I can be alone in a team, and the rest Next..." As he said that, No. 0 looked at the dozens of people beside him, waiting for their answers.
