Steel steam and flame

"It's worth our special trip. The effect is still there. Although it may not really help Macquarie, it finally makes the forest active again." After reading the latest news, Defoni spoke happily. As he spoke, he finished the wine in the cup in his hand and placed the cup on the table aside. Molocher, who was sitting there thinking about something, withdrew from his thoughts and filled the wine cup naturally.

"How are Harold and Evangelion?" Defoni picked up the glass again, not forgetting to ask about the situation of the other two people before drinking. "You were next to Bie at the time, and you were all taken care of by him. You were the least injured. .Harold and the others were not so lucky. Otto's counterattack before his death was indeed terrifying. It had been a while since he had fought against such a strong man. It had been decades since the last war, and his head was in conflict with this one. The physical body is probably unfamiliar with the changes in the state of a high-level surgeon before death. Otherwise, the two of them would not have been injured."

Defoni seemed to be blaming himself, but because both of their injuries could recover after more than half a month of rest, there was much more emotion in his words.

"Macquarie had a plan a long time ago, and Otto's side did not have a unified position, but they gave us great help." Molocher felt even more grateful. He knew that there were gaps between people, but he never thought that the gaps would exceed his awareness. He always thought that he knew the actual strength of his teacher Defoni, but after the battle a few days ago, he found that his previous "thinking" contained too many subjective feelings.

After witnessing the battle of several top high-level surgeons at once, and feeling the power that erupted when Otto gave up all hope of escaping on the eve of his death and tried his best to pull several people away, Morlock really felt oppressed. force, and imminent danger to life.

"Otto's death can be regarded as a gift we have brought to the past, which will help the cooperation and alliance agreement go smoothly. The Holy Emperor's Hall is a behemoth entrenched in the Saint Dorag Empire, and its connections and interests with the Pope of the Theocracy, It is deeper than our Far Sea Commonwealth. If they succeed in this matter again, or if they succeed without paying any price, then the Theocracy will have to create another powerful stronghold out of thin air on the Later Phase Continent."

"I don't know if this time can really stop the momentum of the Holy Emperor Hall. Regarding life span, the paranoia and fanaticism of some old people in the Saint Dorag Empire have already far exceeded that in our own country. Everyone thinks that a thousand years After time, when the empire had no possibility of disintegrating and destroying it from the outside, it never occurred to me that it was the internal problems that should not exist in the first place." Defoni lamented that during the war, he could feel a kind of A strong atmosphere exists. Even at their level, they understand that the war caused by Red Star has somewhat changed its flavor. But when you actually go to that scene, you will be irrevocably infected.

"Regarding the six red stars, it seems that the Holy Fathers know more information from the Theocracy. Otherwise, they who have done things the most safely in the past will not make the current decision easily. I don't know if it is good news or bad news. "While talking to himself, Defoni finished the wine again. This time he signaled Molocher to stop pouring, that was almost enough.

"I hope that during this trip to the empire, even if cooperation and alliance cannot be achieved, at least a lot of important information can be exchanged. Being close to a moment of great change in history is both exciting and scary. Here in the southern forest, It is destined to become a battlefield again soon.”

Going to the round window, Defoni looked out at the hurricane in the dark blue field as usual.

"It will take about one day to arrive at the secret stopping point." Molocher said, "Information has also come from China. They have informed the target person through special channels of the information that the teacher will place. The answer they received is Welcome, and they will prepare the place so there is no need to worry about information leakage for this meeting.”

"That's for sure. If those people can't even do this, we can change the route in advance and return directly."

"The two presidents of the Imperial Council came to greet me in person, but this is the most solemn treatment I have ever received in my life." The visitor had dressed himself up carefully, and his face was rosy, indicating that he was in good spirits and good health.

"I didn't expect you to come as well. It's quite unexpected." His words were slightly cold, but they were also welcoming. He was the principal of the military school, an old man with a resolute face. He was sitting on the sofa, holding a book in his hand and half-reading it. "Is it just the four of us this time?" The latter sentence was obviously asking everyone present. The other two were the two chief ministers of the Imperial Council.

"Everyone else's energy has been distracted by the matter in the southern forest. Some people want to come, but Otto's death has made many people not want to take any action and are waiting for the impact to subside." One of the chiefs answered, "Yes. Well, Otto is a gift given to us by the other party, which can be regarded as clearing up the relationship between them and the Holy Fathers with practical actions. But we can rest assured about the identity issue. Of course, as the King of Steel Defoni Phoenix There is no need for us to speculate on Fa, his person and character. Both of you have fought against him, and you must have understood him."

"We haven't seen each other for decades, and everyone is getting older. However, we are also people affected by Otto's death, but our status is not as special as other forces." The visitor said, as the principal of the seminary, he has The atmosphere is completely different from that of the principal of the military school. Whether it is opposites or two opposite feelings, in short, if you compare the two, you can find something different. "I thought I could see more. Old friend." Later, the principal of the seminary expressed his regrets.

"Go back if you are disappointed. Don't wrong yourself. You are already so old and it is not good for your health." The old man from the military school said unexpectedly. He continued to read his book without even glancing at it.

"Perhaps we should only meet once every few years, so that you can feel the value of being old friends." The principal of the seminary sighed, looking quite helpless. But his eyes were full of light, and when he spoke again, his tone completely changed, in line with his temperament, "Do we need to rehearse in advance? After all, it involves cooperation and alliance agreements, and we are only representatives of our respective backgrounds. . Everyone has their own interests, and we also want to participate in this huge plan together. We each hold important information in our hands, and communicating in advance can give each of us a foundation."
