Steel steam and flame

One after another, all seventeen teams mentioned in the mission came here, each resting in a place. People who knew each other, but because of the reminder from the captain of each team, they just said hello with their eyes.

"Take an hour's rest and set off on time at 1:30 in the middle of the night." The captain standing in front of everyone said, "There are clothes of various sizes on the left side of the basement. You can change them according to your taste." As he spoke, the captain stared at several people. Newcomer, and scanning up and down, the meaning is very obvious. The people being targeted were all wearing standard field combat clothing, with steel-cased bombs, tactical knives, fire guns, etc., all hanging on their bodies in a standard manner, as if they could not pick out any soldiers with any flaws. But this mission didn't require strict soldier attire.

"Behind the door on the right is the weapons warehouse, which provides all kinds of weapons, including heavy weapons. You can go and choose if you need it. But it needs to be registered, and it is a temporary purchase, which requires a certain amount of money. It is much cheaper than the training ground itself. The quality is decent.”

"But in this team, as the captain, I prohibit everyone from carrying heavy weapons. Rapid-fire machine guns are the limit I can accept. Don't see the enemy equipped with heavy equipment and armored vehicles and immediately think of attacking with weapons."

"No. 2, you are responsible for controlling the team during the break. Others are not allowed to approach, and we will not approach others." After the captain finished speaking, he left the order and turned to walk to the corner of the basement. At the same time, the captains of the other sixteen teams left their teams one after another and walked to the same position as them. Like communicating details about tasks in the past.

The captain walked ten meters away, and No. 2 sighed: "I heard what the captain said, rest where you are and don't disturb others. As for...the newcomers, you can continue to discuss the content of the mission. But as...as you... People who are a few years older, please change your clothes first, be more casual and more in line with the public. Like the captain said, that’s what you should do first.”

"In addition." No. 2 looked over, and Sisia felt the indifferent gaze with a reminder, "Choose firecrackers or rapid-fire machine guns as weapons. The captain's words just now are implicit suggestions. With these things, at least the gunshots will be heard. It has momentum and can put psychological pressure on the enemy." He looked away and looked at the other newcomers who only carried pistols.

"For No. 2, let me put it another way for you." No. 7 took over, making people feel familiar, "The mission is completed, and No. 1 to No. 9, that is, on the premise of our survival, your results for this mission are It’s up to us to evaluate and score. So, you should understand the specific meaning, right?”

Some of the dozen or so newcomers nodded and looked at each other as they expressed their gratitude.

"Just go, as long as you don't get close to other teams." Number 2 said, "Don't talk to members of other teams on the way, remember."

Seeing the other people leaving in groups, Xixia moved. Seeing that the second personality did not speak, she could only stand where she was: "Aren't you going to go?"

"I'll give you a signal. Now stay where you are. I'm observing what the captains are talking about. Try your best to observe where the captains meet, and remember the observation method I gave you, so that you can provide me with more information. Mental The perceptual network is not very sensitive to capturing movements." Cassia replied. Entering the basement, he felt a bad premonition. I don’t know if this was what Xicia sensed to him, like a sixth sense.

In addition, on the second day of staying on the airship, he suddenly remembered an important question - because he was in Xisiya's spiritual world, could the danger perception that had been compared to the sixth sense in the past still work? It had been a long time since she had felt danger. Cassia was worried that she might have forgotten what the danger was and would not be able to react and detect it in time later.

He has rated everyone gathered in the basement. Only seventeen captains can pass the passing line, and the others have more or less problems. He didn't think this mission would be very dangerous, and following the principle of caution, he estimated that the worst outcome would be that this mission was indeed related to the human trafficking network Korkvar had dealt with.

The captains went together to talk, maybe to say some polite words, which team had completed the clearing of a certain area of ​​enemies, and everyone supported each other at that time.

Cassia hoped that this was the case. Under the scattered mental perception net, the seventeen captains met with polite smiles. But after a few words, one of them said a few words with a serious face, and the others could not laugh. .

Cassia observed the mouth patterns of the seventeen captains when they spoke, and the linear brain of the mental body suddenly glowed, like a small sun. If it were the imperial language, there would be no need for such huge calculations. At this time, Cassia had to immediately analyze the mouth patterns corresponding to each Flame Alliance language to analyze this serious conversation.

The conversation lasted more than ten minutes, with pauses in between. Cassia corrected Sisia's observation methods from time to time and continued her analysis.

Soon after, the captains dispersed, smiles returning to their faces.

"You can go find some normal clothes and put them on." Cassia said at this time, and a series of messages also emerged in the mental body.

Sisia responded and went to the left side of the basement alone. There was no one there anymore, and the weapons warehouse on the right became a lively place.

"It seems that the situation is not very good?" When returning to the team, Xixia saw the captain standing in front of everyone and muttered to herself. Realizing that they were waiting for her to return to the team, she ran over and the captain spoke immediately.

"I exchanged some information with other captains. The number and intensity of enemies in this mission may increase slightly. Weapons need to be changed. The team needs some heavy firepower to deal with emergencies. Of course, the price will be determined by our 22 Everyone bears it together.”

"No. 11, 13, and 15, you choose the heavy machine gun." The captain continued, "No. 10, 12, and 14, you are responsible for the corresponding ammunition load..."

Adjustments to new commands go very quickly. When they went to the weapons warehouse, Sicia asked Cassia about the situation because the captain did not explain in detail why.

In the spiritual world, Cassia sighed alone. But being accustomed to these situations, it is not unreasonable for various countries or forces to start cleaning up their own internal germs and problems at this time.

"This mission is divided into two parts. The part we are dealing with is like the branches of a tree. The part that is the main trunk is handled by several other teams. The purpose is to complete the tree. Unplug it. There may be core members of that network here, so the danger level is hard to judge."

"Is it possible to confirm that it will be the same as Korkva...?"

"There is no doubt that there is a relationship, otherwise so many members would not have been dispatched." Cassia interrupted Sisia. He has already finished thinking and needs to make preparations to be on the safe side. What is missing now is time. Xisiya must have an insurance here. "I will look for opportunities to contact Korkva later. I am not confident about the strength of the Thorny Bird members. The one who will be cleared in this mission should be one of the core figures. Its intensity can cause many accidents.”

"I know." Sissia replied, exhaling, "Would you like to get more weapons?"

"No, there should be a lot of moving ammunition supplies later. But you have to be prepared. I'm not very optimistic about this mission."

,,,,,,

"Sister, why don't you rest?"

"Perhaps I'm excited. I've been back in the Alliance for so long, and I finally see hope. I don't feel like taking a rest." The woman by the window put down the curtain, looked behind her and replied, "More than a month ago, the network in the Venast area The nodes were removed, very clean, leaving no trace. The upper levels of the trafficking network are investigating this matter, but no results have been obtained."

"Maybe in a few days, in the Cressi area where we are now, another important node of the trafficking network, and even one of the regional managers will be eliminated. Although it is not through our hands, as long as this network Complete disintegration is what we hope for.”

"Could it be Mr. Narco's move? Sister." The female voice asked, but it was much softer, "Do you know Mr. Narco's place..."

The woman by the window fell silent, and she spoke after a while: "A few years ago, Narco had a huge collision with this network because of the tribal affairs. Although there were good results, it was also because of these collisions that Narco Coe lost a lot of opportunities after that. I hope it was him, but in the years since he came back, you have also seen his attitude. We can't expect him to do more. The time now no longer belongs to him, and the sacrificial ceremony allows us All have achieved the changes they have now, let alone those who are called ‘monsters’.”

"Just to deal with these monsters, Narco needs to use all his energy..." The woman sighed, "I am sure that what happened in the Venuste area was not done by Narko. This time I made a special trip to Kress Xi, in addition to secretly participating, I also want to find some clues in this operation."

"This trafficking network has existed for a long time, and not many people have been willing to touch it. The sudden incident in the Venast area may be an opportunity. I hope to find the person behind that incident. People, maybe we can reach cooperation.”

"But sister, have you ever thought about how we can cooperate with the people behind them? We currently don't have equal strength at all, and pleading is impossible."

The woman by the window took a few steps to the table, poured a glass of wine into her stomach: "The remaining half of solid red mercury is our final bargaining chip."
