Steel steam and flame

"Is it suspended? Is there a huge conflict between the clean-up operation and his mission? This can definitely inform us of the matter in advance." Trismosin expressed his dissatisfaction, "Miss Shibo, I don't know if there is more detailed information ? Now I don’t know what happened there, but at least a reason should be given. Besides, should the saint know about this matter, after all..."

The words were interrupted by an anxious knock on the door, and the adjutant's voice came from outside, shouting "Emergency communications from the third action group."

"The third action team has sent news, Miss Shiba."

"I want to hear the actual situation over there. It involves the clean-up operation plan. There is no specific reason. A hasty suspension will cause gaps among several linked action groups. If you want to fill them in the future, you will need to spend more energy. Got it with someone."

Trismosin responded to the adjutant. After the door opened, the adjutant nodded in a hurry, pointed to the communicator in his hand, indicating that the call was not disconnected, walked over, and handed it out.

Trismosin took it and revealed his identity to the current captain of the third action group: "I have received news from Ficino Medici. What is the specific situation now? The cleanup operation has already begun. Alright?"

"Sir, the operation has indeed begun. We are divided into two teams, each responsible for the initial enemy in the plan. Before the operation stopped, we have surrounded the target. The current target is an escort team, related to the enemy who killed the captain. Because When it was heading to the Principality of Nortonthal, a team that was following it all died, and its methods were very similar to the captain's."

"I originally wanted to capture most of its members alive and extort the necessary information, so I did not take immediate action after the encirclement, but chose a safer method. But when we were about to close the encirclement, Ficino Medici connected to my Communication, telling me to cancel the operation immediately and let the target leave safely. He also told us to retreat from here immediately, the sooner the better..."

Trismosin interrupted here: "Then you stopped taking action?"

"My lord, we have to stop the operation. We know the identity of Ficino Medici. He can remind us, but he cannot give direct orders. I explained to him that the operation has entered the final stage and it will only take a few minutes. It will end, and it will end quietly. If he needs us for anything, we will definitely cooperate 100% afterwards. This is what you have reminded us, sir." The new captain explained patiently, but also full of doubts.

"But he immediately told us that it was too early and we should not cause unnecessary trouble for him. If we did not stop the action, he would help us stop it passively in his own way. He did not give a reason for this. .Afterwards, he cut off communication.”

"Are you still in the Principality of Nortonthal?"

"My lord, most of the members are concentrated in a city close to its border." The captain replied.

"Evacuate to other cities first and wait for my order." Trismosin disconnected the communication with the captain and was about to ask Hippo Boyeno who was listening on the other communicator, but it was the other person who spoke first.

"There is the latest news, which was conveyed by the adjutant of Saint Doris." Hippo said, with speculation and curiosity, "There is a monster in the Principality of Nortonthal that currently does not have any information. The confirmer should It’s Ficino Medici.”

"He thinks it's one of our monsters?"

Xipo said "Yeah" with a negative voice: "Between the Theocracy and the Nature Association, as members of the Knight King's power list, most of them have information about each other. If this monster is someone from our side, Member, I think the cleanup operation in the Principality of Norton Salar should go more smoothly. Even if he and Ficino Medici did not know each other, since we all know that Ficino is in that area, he will not Maybe I don’t know. And the saint will not ask the adjutant to make a special trip to convey this news to me.”

"In short, let all the people of the third action group evacuate first. The news has been confirmed by Ficino. He was at the scene. Maybe the two felt each other or had a confrontation. This is completely uncontrollable factors. If This unknown monster is an enemy, and both you and I will be in danger of life-threatening injuries."

"I will notify you as soon as there is more news."

Putting down the communicator, Trismosin let out a breath, asked the adjutant to come back, issued new orders, and contacted the captain of the third action group.

"Based on the current information, Ficino Medici saved all of you." He said later, without explaining in detail, "Evacuate first, and those who supported you will return immediately."

Three minutes later, the communication machine was turned off by Trismosin, and he personally contacted everyone. Finally he finally breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, in less than ten minutes, he felt that his mood suddenly and inexplicably worsened.

Raising his head to look at the ceiling, he sorted out the information and looked back at the desk in front of him. Cassia's cold and dark portrait was just at the edge of his sight. He couldn't help but be attracted and took a few more glances. His intuition made him feel that the portrait had a human feel to it. After all, it was a person who had been dead for almost three years.

Without thinking much, he reached out and turned the portrait over, only to feel that there was no disharmony in his sight. But he was no longer in the mood to continue sorting out the cleaning action plan. He left the room and chose to go outside to breathe the same sensory "fresh air" as inside.

"Kebro, are you sure that the Empire's Experimental Subject Zero is still in that small country?" In the Principality of Nortonthal, on the road out of the city, Ficino, who was in the back seat of the limo, finally contacted him and he was from the same country. Kobro is on this list.

"This is not your style, Ficino. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to contact me. If you were interested in Experimental Subject Zero, you could have chosen this task a few days ago."

"Just answer my question, Kebulo. In exchange, I have equivalent information." Ficino's voice remained calm, unaffected by the vague provocation in Kebulo's words.

"Well, I'd like to hear the information in exchange first."

"If Experimental Subject Zero is still in that small country, then the so-called intelligence team formed by the Theocratic State and the Association will be a bunch of rubbish. There will not only be Experimental Subject Zero on the Continent, but maybe there will be an unknown one added in the future. Information’s ‘Test Subject No. 1’.”

"What if I'm not here?"

"Then I will complete the mission on your behalf. The Empire's Experimental Subject Zero does not match the intelligence description and will be even more terrifying. At least without more information, I will not choose to take action, but will avoid it."

Perhaps after confirming the information and after a brief silence, Cobro gave the answer: "Ficino, you can tell the intelligence team about the 'Experimental Subject No. 1' information. This may help the following few The people who are arriving have a little sense of anticipation. If your feeling is correct, when Experimental Subject Zero is our cooperative ally, the 'Experimental Subject No.1' you mentioned can somewhat make them have the desire to move their bodies. "

"Then, how can I get his traces? You definitely won't track him yourself. Letting others do it will just add names to the death list."

"You can ask Ms. Shiba of the Theocracy. He seems to have some relationship with the target of a certain cleanup operation team. Of course, this is just a guess, but it is the only information I know so far."
