Steel steam and flame

The factory inside the empty mountain is very quiet, as if you can hear the sound of the earth itself. The roar spread, with echoes. Defoni, who was some distance away, opened his eyes instantly, his body tensed, and he subconsciously entered a fighting state. After he finished confirming the surrounding environment, he exhaled heavily and walked step by step towards Grote's location.

The rate of pollution has increased a lot, and the concentration does change irregularly, but its erosion of the normal environment is deepening all the time. This is certain and unchanged. Defoni thought this way, holding the first-generation Holy Sword in his left hand and the sledgehammer in his right hand. He blinked his eyes while walking to recover from the fatigue accumulated while waiting quietly.

Ahead, the communicator turned on the external broadcast function. In the factory, which could be described as silent, Defoni could hear the conversation between the two without having to do anything.

"In short, there is never much good news." Defoni said to himself, with an expression he had become accustomed to. By the time he arrived at Grote's location, the conversation had lasted for a while, and the two had made preliminary decisions on many things.

"I have just explained to you what I have learned so far. In two or three hours, when I get more detailed information, I will contact you again for a final explanation." Perkinz reminded, "In addition, When the pollution changes irregularly, it is a signal that the enemy has taken action. But they are too cautious, and so far, we have not had any practical experience."

"But it will definitely not be very far before the real feeling hits. My personal estimate is tomorrow's evening. Maybe it will be delayed until late at night. For us and the enemy, this is not important. The difference between day and night is not big. . But for you and Defoni, this may have a different meaning."

Grote said "Oh" and glanced at Defoni who came to the side: "He just arrived next to him."

"Yeah." Perkinz replied in a perfunctory voice, and then added after a pause, "If we can delay it for more time, it is a very important good news for us. The irregular changes in pollution have indeed become a necessity. Let’s solve the problem.”

"If it's just a few hours, I can convince Defoni to show up on his own initiative after discovering the enemy and talk to the enemy - talk about the factory, talk about production, and insert a few words about the Mechanical Dragon. In short, it can give you a few more hours of buffering time. But it only lasts three days if you ask..." Grote, who spread his hands, turned to Defoni and conveyed his helplessness with his body language, "Even if Defoni puts the Mechanical Dragon It wouldn't take more than three days to bring the materials and read them sentence by sentence to the enemy.

But it’s also good news. At least we can attack enemies when we see them without having to think about how to greet them gracefully and politely. If we are in trouble, the enemy will surely be in trouble too when they see us like this. "

The communicator synchronized with Pekinz's laughter with almost no time difference. "After that, we can only let Cassia artificially destroy the changes in pollution, so as to prevent our members from all discovering specific traces as soon as they start taking action. You and Defoni also needs to be prepared, high concentration of pollution, the kind with white flowers blooming everywhere, hope to be prepared.”

"We have prepared it a long time ago. Now we are just waiting for the enemy to take the initiative to enter this factory. I think they are also afraid. The factory is like Defoni's private base. There are so many people in it, and they have no connection with it at all. The relevant information is here. You said it has already started, so starting from this evening, the surrounding area will become lively."

Grote said in a relaxed tone, "As for you, I don't think there will be a problem."

"Of course." Peckinz responded, "By the way, how far has that body adapted? A few months ago, when you and I blocked four successive popes in the Far Sea Commonwealth, there were still many problems Question. Macquarie said that the potion specially prepared by the Avalon Agency has been given to you and is being used. The pressure you face is much greater than mine. How to create opportunities is the two of us appearing here. The main task of the mountains is now.”

"The adaptation is basically completed, and you can use it as your own body. But after all, the way to spend these thousand years is not like yours, and the physical strength cannot make me gain more strength. With the second generation holy sword, I can only It is considered to be more than the previous popes. But this time we have to face not only the previous popes, but also Novisas, and we also need to be careful of Letitia, who has lost all traces in the Flame Alliance."

After the sigh, there were Grote's headache words, "I'm not sure how long I can hold on. Defoni and I will strictly follow the plan and focus on 'evacuation', so as to avoid fighting with the enemy for a long time." But you also know that once Nowisus and Letitia join in, the balance will soon be broken and the situation will immediately deteriorate. At that time, it will only depend on your preparation."

"As for the giant whale group, we rarely have contact with them. If they can provide more help, the success rate of the plan will be much higher. So far, is there any improvement for them?"

"Blocking the third general is the biggest help. Later, we can provide freezing energy on the lens. We are almost close to the limit."

"For the rest, we still need to look at the two backup plans of 'Earth Burning' and 'Ground Exposure'." Grote himself concluded, "Is Sucarius ready? I haven't seen him for a long time. He died. I borrowed Cassia's spiritual world and talked a lot with it. I thought that I would really die at that time, but I never thought that we would see each other again one day. "

"This is uncertainty. Accidents always happen under various circumstances and times. I hope there will be an accident this time, the kind of 'good accident'."

"Did Miss Elinor suddenly come back? Or did the Giant Whale Group's White Whale Project succeed and come back?" Grote imagined, "People who are not from this era will indeed have a lot of discomfort."

"Hopefully it will be these accidents." Perkinz also imagined, "I will contact you again later."

"Anytime available."

The contact was lost. Grote put down the communicator and sighed when he looked at Defoni.

Defoni's expression was very relaxed, and he still had a lot of expectations, "Tonight?"

"Maybe. In terms of time, it's also time for the enemies to start exploring the inside of the factory." Grote thought for a moment, "Mechanical Dragon and Ultimate Dragon, we must make final preparations before evening, the uranium-gold reaction furnace The furnace with solid red mercury needs to be kept preheated at all times. Adding steam, checking various modules, etc., these tasks need to be left to you. I will provide help, after all, there are only two of us here."
