Steel steam and flame

While speaking, Delya lifted the small pot, and there was only a light layer of black tea left in it. He stood up and lit the gas stove in the corner, put on a small kettle, and continued: "You know that once something has something to do with the leader, it can't be a minor incident. How crazy they are in pursuing the traces left by the leader. , we have all realized it deeply in the past two years.”

"The Knight Commander should listen to these words more often."

"Not only Hessler, you can also listen." Delya sat back at the table, "The leader has made us undergo tremendous changes in a few years. This change is in terms of strength, spirit, and ambition. .I know the gap is huge, but we all have to continue to endure it. Leisure is not a good thing, but it is also a good thing. Thinking that if the leader comes back later, there will no longer be leisure time, but I can barely calm down and enjoy this period of life. .”

"How long will it take?" Waters' voice suddenly became hoarse, filled with despair.

A short period of silence fell, and the kettle on the gas stove made a "chichi" sound at the right time to prevent the air in the lounge from freezing.

As if sorting out the order of words and content of her thoughts, Delya stared at Waters' face quietly and saw something she had experienced before - hope was gradually eroded by reality, leaving only black chaos.

"This is not comfort. You know that soon after Brino followed the leader from the gray area, I will not comfort people." When white steam overflowed from the kettle, Delya's thinking ended, "We are all small people. , without a regiment leader, dying in the chaotic battle of Brino should be a predetermined result. It was like this before, and it will be like this now, but the location has changed to a small country."

"How long were we in Brino?"

Waters shook his head, "I don't remember. My memory after I left Brino was dozens of times better than before. I only remember what happened in the past few years. I can still recite the arms trade network diagram and the information of the middlemen." I haven’t forgotten any of their names. I remember how much balance each of them owed the factory and how many bullets they shipped in several shipments. As for Blino, its memory has long been overwritten.”

"Actually, I don't remember either." Delya admitted generously. "In these days, besides running the flower shop, my best pastime is to look for weapons in the dark world in various capacities. Revolvers, forged steel Swords, tactical knives, and very durable shoes, etc. You and Hessler are much better than me, at least you bring more help to the leader. As for me..., maybe every time the leader asks me to He prepared a complete set of weapons and did it to the extreme. Every time he satisfied the leader, it was one of the few moments when I felt that I had made a difference."

"Everyone is spending a lot of energy to endure and endure." The kettle began to buzz, and the steam floated behind Delya before dispersing. "While you still call me deputy captain, you still need to obey this deputy commander." The order of the group leader. We all don’t know some of the group leader’s situation, but we are far closer to the group leader than others.”

Delya got up and looked at the kettle. Seeing that it would take some time, she simply stood by the gas stove: "Actually, since recently, there has been an intuition and spiritual impulse that has been signaling to me. Its intensity has never been seen before. Passed."

"Something called female intuition?" Waters knew better.

Delya still admitted generously: "It won't take long. Maybe you can go to that place to see more if you have nothing to do. I will prepare weapons more actively and carefully select each bullet."

"Then it's time for me to make preparations for the subsequent restart and construction of the factory. In fact, I have been doing these things and have accumulated a lot of mature ideas and various plans, not only in my mind, but also in It became a tangible pile of documents.”

"This is a matter of course. Do you think that after the leader finds us, he will give us time to adapt again?"

Both laughed at this. Delya made another pot of black tea, and the fragrant smell became more intense in this small room.

"Actually, I don't have much to say. I'm a lot older now. It's not that I can't bear it, but I don't want the leader to be forgotten little by little by others over time. It shouldn't be like this. The leader should be remembered. It’s become a nightmare for many people.”

Delya filled the cup with black tea: "No one will forget the leader, not us, nor others. If those people really don't care, we don't need to change our original appearance. With the current appearance Life. There is no trace of the leader, and many people will be afraid. If there is a trace of the leader, more people will be afraid. It is like a nightmare, and no matter how much the Imperial Holy Emperor Hall tries to eliminate traces and information, nothing can be changed."

"Where is the Knight Commander?"

"Since you said he is here, he will definitely come to my place. If there is nothing else, just stay here and help me take care of the flower shop these days. More than a year is not a long time, but in the past This year, I feel that time does have the attribute of 'longness'. The three of us can talk well together. Now compared to two years ago, the attention of various forces on us has been reduced. Too many. It’s not that dangerous anymore.”

"And Hessler comes from a big family. He understands some things better than we do. We don't need to worry too much about him." Delya added, her eyes fell on the black tea in the cup, and the lamps reflected in it were like It is a rosy sun.

"Boss, there is communication from Aiqi in the alliance."

"From the look of you, it doesn't seem to be good news." The man called Boss took the communicator, and Aiqi's usual report-like words immediately rang out, "Boss, Knowlton, Anomi and Solakar are here in Kremlin." The operational encounter in the Lacey area has been exposed. This time, the Flame Tribe has launched an operation with the members of the Black Dragon Training Ground as the core and the Thorn Bird Training Ground as the support."

"The intelligence has only been collected now. It is too late for the speed of action at the training ground." The boss said, and after thinking, he gave the order, "Tell Knowlton and Anomi that they are more tolerant in normal times. This time I can let off steam.”

"I'll tell you exactly what you said," Edge replied.

"Are you on your way to Cressy now?"

"It takes two days to arrive successfully, so we probably won't be able to catch up." Aiqi confirmed the answer to the question, "We need to provide them with some support..."

"I remember that this operation is to transport the 'New Year's gifts' for those nobles abroad?" The boss paused here, "It's a more important thing, but it won't take much time to choose again later. Then Aiqi, you can Hire more mercenaries or bounty hunters from relevant areas who only care about money, and the lives of the training ground members can help them increase their reputation in the dark world."

"But remember, you are responsible for responding to the three of them if they are sure to escape. Try not to use our own members. As for how to grasp it, I will leave it to you to decide. Among the remaining things, what you reported to me not long ago Teams with clean tactics may show up again this time. You need to focus on this and see who is behind them. In addition, Nalco will still investigate and deal with it in the same way as before. "
