Steel steam and flame

"It is being verified and analyzed. Your Excellency will be able to see the Dragon Knight's information tomorrow."

"Thank you for the speed of your work." Kebro was a rare compliment.

"This is what I should do, sir."

The adjutant left, and Kebro browsed through the information on the desk page by page, folded it into a neat square, and placed it in the corner of the table.

"Experimental Subject No. 1 has left, and the clean-up operation of the small country has continued. The process is more than halfway, and it will be successfully completed before the next batch of members arrive. However, their geographical location is close to the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance, and materials and support are extremely convenient. In addition, Among these small countries, many small forces originally belonged to the two giant countries. After receiving the news, they directly and proactively gave up control and provided a lot of information that could not be investigated in a short period of time."

"It's exactly like cutting down trees in your own back garden. The trees are not too thick, and there are no excessive external obstacles. Each cleanup operation team has no losses, and the task is very smooth. The reported situation is already better than anyone else's. But when the erosion actions surrounding several coordinating countries begin, the situation may become polarized."

"In the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance, there will always be some elite members who are unwilling to completely give up their interests in small countries. Focusing on the coordinating country will truly touch their core interests. At that time, they will also encounter Santo People from the Lage Empire. The intensity will suddenly increase."

"Experimental Subject Zero should have been the best candidate to deal with the elite members within the Saint Dorag Emperor. But after meeting and talking with him, the arrival of members of the Theocracy and the Nature Association could not have any impact on him. Neither did he himself The intention to cooperate with us is a powerful monster in itself. Of course, it will not be like other people who want to cooperate with us. Even if we apply for an order from the higher ups to help us with our next corrosive action, it is probably just Just do what it looks like on the surface. But the erosion operation must achieve half of the effect to pave the way for subsequent plans."

"It's not clear yet what the Theocracy's Holy Maiden's purpose is. That will be the biggest trouble in the future."

"There are also associations asking you to pay attention to the movements of dragon knights in the Flame Alliance. Are there any monster-level characters hidden in it? Could it be this No. 1 Experimental Subject? Are there any members who will pose a threat to us, or do they exist? Potential trouble?"

"Ficino, if you keep avoiding your responsibilities as one of the captains by disappearing, then when you encounter huge problems later, don't say that I didn't remind you of this information. I was the same as you at the beginning, although I am not satisfied with the result of my lottery, but I came to the Houxiang Continent with a relaxed and restful mentality. But the more I understand the situation here, the more I feel that there is a deep danger hidden."

"Even if this danger is not aimed at you and me, but at the top of the Theocracy and the Nature Association. But since they can already pose a threat to the top, it must be a disaster for us."

"I hope you can enjoy this last quiet time during this period."

She has finished reading the suitcase of books she brought, and is halfway through the second reading. Cassia expects to start the third reading in the evening. The slight vibration and the subtle sound of the lift device were always there, and Cassia, who chose to completely block them out, only felt the silence in the room.

After flipping through the last few pages of the book in his hand and closing it, Cassia tilted her head symbolically, letting sound wave pulses and spiritual perception replace her sight, passing through the overlapping layers of steel to another layer—— In a large commercial room, the two of them were always alert, paying attention to the movements in the corridor outside the door. There were five people left, two of them were checking weapons, and three of them were gathered around the communication machine, each with a different job, as if they were communicating with someone.

In addition, there are several rooms on the floor where the passengers are located that are in roughly the same situation.

The perception was deflected downward at this time, and in the warehouse on the lowest floors, a team of seventeen people took time off to rest. Half of them were lying on the floor or on the cargo, recovering in a semi-sleep state, while the remaining members were on alert, waiting for orders.

They barely spoke to each other, occasionally conveyed corresponding information, and never made any sound, all using agreed-upon gestures.

Very professional, Cassia did not doubt this. Because he had been observing them since the airship took off, it was only now that several days had passed that he could barely judge the vague meaning of those gestures. But it is enough for use. After knowing the enemy's purpose and setting the direction, the scope of judgment and calculation will be greatly reduced. The mental embodiment now far exceeds the computing power of the analysis engine array, and the analysis and deciphering of information is often just a process of waiting for time to pass.

The perception finally returned to the surroundings, and Cassia did not forget to observe the escort team and the few customers.

Compared with the clean-up operation team, there is an obvious gap between the security company team members, most of whom were selected from small countries. It can be seen that before they officially came out as members of the protection team, they had received a series of systematic training in order to eliminate some fatal flaws. However, basic problems cannot be changed through a short period of training. They require a longer process and a corresponding environment to cultivate them.

At the security company level, they are indeed sufficient. They are all surgeons, whether it is a formal surgery or a black market surgery that is associated with a higher mortality rate, they can provide basic protection. At least when it comes to the use of firearms, Cassia thinks they have no problem at all.

In the current environment of a small country, a team of surgeons is actually enough to deal with most situations.

The only people who can reach the level of members of the clean-up operation team are the team leader and the members of the "tavern" who came to support later. Although the number is not considerable, doing so can indeed create a good "even" state, allowing the security company's business to proceed smoothly and continue to expand.

"It has been five days since the airship set sail, and its latest docking is tomorrow night. The first group of cleanup action team members who came over started investigating a few days ago. Now, is it time to take actual action, or is it The person who wants to obtain my traces has issued the latest order to test my attitude with the lives of the escort team members in order to determine the relationship between the Steel Security Company and me?"

Cassia put the book back in the suitcase. The afternoon sunlight was strong, and a large beam came in through the round window and fell next to the chair. He knew that the enemy's action would not be now, but at night. The airship is a closed space sailing in the sky. If the movement is not handled well, it will cause a large number of members to become restless. It is often easier to destroy an airship from the inside than to break through its hard shell from the outside.

For this reason, the cleanup action team has been considering it since the beginning. After checking the tickets and boarding the airship, the team members were secretly distributed everywhere. For their own safety, they included areas such as the steam furnace and the mechanical room of the lifting device under their own surveillance.

Cassia recognizes their professionalism, which is a very important reason among many.

After drinking the cold water in the cup, Cassia took out the tactical knife and took a look. After seeing that there was no problem with her facial attire, she picked up the small kettle in the room and walked up the stairs at the end of the corridor to the floor where the restaurant is located.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that a middle-aged man with the same impatient look on his face and a kettle in his hand met Cassia in the corridor in front of the restaurant.

"It would be nice to have a point for getting boiled water on each floor. The juices sold here are too expensive." The middle-aged man complained as if he had a natural affection for Cassia when he saw the kettle in Cassia's hand.

"For you, there is no problem in buying all the highest-end liquor on the airship, I think." Cassia didn't listen at all, and even had a look of serious thinking on her face, "Actually, except for me, In addition, you are the most powerful team of surgeons on this airship. Although this can show your professionalism and caution, making appropriate adjustments according to the environment should be the core idea of ​​​​disguise. Bar?"
