"WTF, what the hell is going on and why is there such a complicated situation. ”

In a tavern in a border town a little south of Missouri, Sheriff Owen half-leaned in front of the table, holding a beer glass, and looked at the news on the TV with a shocked expression, looking a little incredible.

The smell of war spread across the continent, and the disputes of the Church of the Eternal Night gradually began to face the public, and the friction became more and more serious.

On the TV, it was the news that Lyons announced Smith and Epside as the judges at a press conference, ordering believers around the world to crusade.

Owen is also a believer in the eternal night, and he goes to the church of the eternal night every week to pray, but he does not belong to the church of the eternal night, so he is not very clear about the dispute within the church, and he is very shocked about the matter.

From the bottom of his heart, he actually supports the Archbishop of Lyon, after all, the propaganda of the Church of the Eternal Night is dominated by the Archbishop of Lyon.

However, the public opposition to Lyon's speech by the local church priest left him at a loss as to what to do.

"The archbishop had a dispute with the other bishops, why did the army move with it?"

Beside Owen, a young man bit an apple and said something that was scrolling under the TV with a message about the transfer of the Eighty-eighth Transcendent Division in Hawaii.

Owen glanced at the young man and said, "The commander of the 88th Division is an Eternal Night Cultist, and the Night Watch is also an Eternal Night Cultist, and the regimental officers basically have a background in Eternal Night, so it is estimated that they are going to be transferred back to fight." ”

"Not only the troops of Hawaii, but also the North stationed in Maple Leaf, the 31st, 40th, and 98th Divisions of the Destroyer have all been transferred back to the country and are moving closer in the direction of Boston, and I heard that even the Coast Guard is starting to get nervous. ”

At that moment, an old man in the tavern who looked to be old swayed behind them.

As the sheriff of the town, Owen knew the old man, an officer who had served in the Extraordinary Army.

Most of the troops in the United States are still ordinary troops, and the extraordinary army has only 22 divisions, and now there are four divisions that have been mobilized, and as expected, the pace of war is approaching.

At this moment, the young man suddenly spoke, seeming to be very interested in this matter: "I remember that we also have an extraordinary unit stationed in Missouri, it seems to be the 18th Division of the Extraordinary Mobile Force?"

The old man who had served in the 18th Division smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to say: "That's right, but the commander of the 18th Division is a magician who graduated from the Jindal School of Magic, and he should not participate in the war of the Eternal Night Church, and we are still relatively safe here." ”

Hearing this, Sergeant Owen frowned, and kindly reminded on the side: "We know about the transcendent army, isn't it?"

Owen also served in the army, but the army he served in was only an ordinary army, and it used only ordinary firearms, while the extraordinary army used extraordinary firearms engraved with extraordinary inscriptions, and the officers were all genuine transcendental, which was naturally different from the ordinary army.

In order to be in the mystery of the Transcendental Army, all countries will not disclose the characteristics of the Transcendental Force, and remain secretive, therefore, for the situation of the Transcendent Army, Sheriff Owen feels that it is better not to listen.

"It's okay, it's all come to this point, and there's nothing wrong with talking about it. ”

The old man who had served in the 18th Division was very calm, waved his hand at Owen and said: "The transcendent army is just like that, except that the weapons used are weapons engraved with transcendent inscriptions, and there are often transcendents in the army, there are no other particularities. ”

He was one of the last mortal officers of the Eighteenth Division, and after a short few months of integration, he retired and returned home incognito in this border town.

No one would have thought that this ordinary-looking old man would actually worship the deputy division commander.

It's a pity that the transcendent army has been completely reformed, and even the former division commander has been replaced by a graduate student from the Jindal Academy of Magic, not to mention him.

"This is already the most special good. ”

Sergeant Owen smiled and complained, then smiled at the old man and drank the beer from the beer glass in his hand.

The young man pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but the picture of the TV in front of him suddenly changed, and then the governor of Missouri suddenly appeared on the TV with a rather serious expression.

"Dear friends of Missouri, Midijian has experienced countless ups and downs since independence, and the history of Missouri..."

The governor of Missouri read the opening words heavily, and seeing that in addition to the governor of Missouri, there were also missionaries in the missionary robes of the Church of the Eternal Night, Owen's heart immediately sank, and the old man also understood something.

Missouri it's going to... Joined the war?!

Sure enough, Governor Missouri talked about the recent operations of the Church of the Eternal Night, and announced that Missouri would support the Archbishop of Lyon, and that the army would be under martial law and wary of military movements in the South.

Sheriff Owen was directly questioned.

You must know that although the governor of the United States is not under the jurisdiction of the president, he is not a one-handed existence in the state, and the three powers of the United States are separated, and the responsibilities of the governor, the state legislature, and the state court are different.

The governor can't directly mobilize the military, only the right to move the National Guard within the state, and it's not complete, what the hell is the governor of Missouri doing?

However, Sheriff Owen knew that the governor, the state legislature, and the state court should have reached some kind of unknown condition, otherwise the governor of Missouri would not have been able to announce such a thing.

"The sky is changing in Missouri. ”

When the old man heard this, he sighed faintly, and said to the left and right: "We guessed correctly, the war is about to start, but... Missouri may not be immune this time. ”

The young man said with some nervousness: "We are just a small town here, so we shouldn't be affected too much. ”

Before the governor announced the news, he was the one who wanted to fight the war the most, but when he learned that Missouri would also join the war, he was stunned and spoke a little unpleasantly.

"I can only hope so. ”

Sergeant Owen nodded, his fingers subconsciously reaching for the gun bag, as if only a firearm could bring him a sense of security.

Sheriff Owen was a young man who had witnessed the help of the gamma world, and naturally understood how important it was to own a weapon in an era of war: especially for someone like himself who could legally carry a firearm and have an official status.

"Young people, don't panic, war doesn't have to start yet. ”

Seeing that the young man seemed a little nervous, the old man said jokingly: "Perhaps, our Mr. Governor is just verbal support, and it will not cause any war, so don't be too nervous." ”

Sergeant Owen also calmed down, and spoke with the old man: "Moreover, even if the war is carried out, it will not last long, most of it is just a small-scale conflict, and then the transcendents will use extraordinary means to solve it, isn't the conflict in Europe in the recent Rus' country solved through the transcendents?"

said that he was a safe young man, but it was more like comforting himself.

There's nothing wrong with what they're saying, it's a possibility.

"Knock knock, knock knock..."

Suddenly there was a rather noisy sound outside, the sound was extremely harsh, and the sound pollution was extremely serious, which caused the displeasure of the guests in the tavern, and the waiter scolded and looked out of the glass, but when he saw the scene outside, the scolding words couldn't help but stop.

A large helicopter gunship hovered directly above the tavern, throwing a ladder directly from the helicopter, and two military trucks appeared around it, loaded with heavily armed soldiers.

The leading officer stepped directly from the co-pilot of the truck, pushed the door in the shock of the attendant, looked at the old man, and said: "Brigadier General Mondstadt, after the re-examination of the headquarters, you have been assigned to the combat staff, please follow us to the 18th Division immediately!"

"The staff of the Eighteenth Division?"

The old man named Mondstadt was a little surprised, and said to the officer, who didn't look high-ranked, "Oh damn it, you don't really want to fight, do you?!"

The 18th Division was an extraordinary army, and most of the officers above and above the regimental level in the entire division were powerful and extraordinary people, although they also received military education and understood the basic requirements of marching and fighting, but they were much worse than those experienced veteran officers.

As a result, these extraordinary armies have specialized military experts, known as the General Staff, who advise them, while the officers make decisions and plan and at the same time develop extraordinary strikes against the enemy.

It's not that there aren't military-proficient transcendents, but there are very few, and most of the military-proficient transcendents are incorporated into the Seventh Division, stationed in Washington, D.C., as the president's elite troops.

And now, even an old brigadier general like him, who has been retired for three or four years, has been pulled to the general staff, doesn't this show ... Is there really a war here ?!

Seeing that the officer did not give him a reply, Mondstadt immediately raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to shout, "I'm an old man, what kind of staff are I going to?, and I've been retired for five years, I don't belong to the military, Mr. Captain, please don't disturb my life!"

Seeing this, the officer was a little helpless and could only helplessly say, "Brigadier General Mondstadt, this is an order signed by Mr. President, written by the division commander himself, please don't embarrass us." ”

"In that case, tell me the truth, or I won't leave here. Mondstadt said stubbornly.

Hearing this, the officer hesitated for a moment, then glanced around at the people in the tavern, waved his hand, and instructed the soldiers: "The next content is military secrets, please leave these people for the time being, and sign a confidentiality agreement for the previous content." ”

Immediately, Sergeant Owen and the young man, as well as the tavern owner and waiter, were 'invited' out of the tavern to sign a confidentiality agreement, while the officer remained in the tavern and explained the current situation to Brigadier General Mondstadt.

"Mr. Brigadier General, you must have seen the news and have some understanding of the current situation. ”

The officer took a deep breath and said slowly: "At present, there is a consistent army from the south approaching Missouri, but the pace of the march is extremely slow, and it is very likely that it is only to deter us, but we cannot ignore it, so the 18th Division will be transferred." ”

"We hope to use your rich experience to gain a certain advantage in the confrontation. ”

Hearing these words, Mondstadt was a hundred unbelievers.

With such a big plan, a small captain shouldn't know much detail.

But it's enough to know for yourself.

After all, he has not been in contact with the army for a long time, and he just took this opportunity to show the government and the people that the army is still the world of military command after all!

The officer recounted the current situation for about five minutes, and Mondstadt nodded in satisfaction before opening his mouth and said, "I'm done with the situation now, let's go now, I think I already know what to do." ”
