Section 173 Parties 5

"I was right next to Grumas's body. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ah Qi replied. As a concrete indication of her reply, she sent a photograph of Grumas's body.

Until now, no one had come to touch Grummas's body, and no one had even stopped anyone else from approaching. So at this time, it is estimated that the video or picture of Grumas's body has been spread everywhere. The other party contacted him not so much for first-hand information as for confirmation.

"Just one night. The other party apparently took a moment to scrutinize the messages she had sent. "That's it?"

"Just one night. Aqi said. The traces of war have been largely erased. As everyone knows, there was a fierce battle in the city last night, but in the end, it was a battle between two legions, that is, a very small engagement by the standards of this world. War is a beast that devours life and property, but it is also big and small. Not to mention that there are actually no civilians in the entire city of Nice, so there is no room for it to be affected.

"The Flare Family won't be able to leave Grum......as guarded," the person in the projection obviously sighed softly. "Now that Grumas is dead, the warlock who protects him should not be spared, right?"

Aqi sent another image over. It was the corpse of a middle-aged man, clad in metal armor - not the high-tech exoskeleton armor, but literally metal armor. The armor was like a piece of paper, crumpled by the overwhelming external force. It was as if there was once a pair of huge pliers that clamped this person alive, and clamped him to the point that he broke his tendons and even crushed his internal organs.

It is a little strange that the deceased ended up with wide eyes and an obviously slightly ironic smile on his face, even though it was such a tragic way of dying.

Perhaps this is just an accident - although many people think that after death, his expression must stay in the last moment of death. But it is also possible (of course this is normal) that due to various external forces, his facial muscles will move, and eventually become an expression that he does not know about.

However, no other evidence is needed, the armor itself alone is enough to explain the identity of the person. In this era of universal rifles and electromagnetic cannons, the people who will wear armor in battle are either fools or warlocks.

"Sure enough......" sighed the person in the terminal projection. "The Bright Sun family will not ......give up after such a blow," his voice changed suddenly, from the emotional tone common to those who had nothing to do with the matter, to a tone as cold as ice. "Is the Floating Fortress in Lu Wu's hands now?"

Ah Qi didn't even answer, and directly gave him a new picture.

That's the picture of the Floating Fortress floating low above the city. In the face of such a photo, all explanations are superfluous.

"Hidden?" asked the person on the other side after a short pause.

"The master? he's still in there directing the men and horses to carry out the maintenance work intensely. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I went up a little bit to take a look. ”

"Floating fortresses can't fly into the sky......" The other party was silent for a long time this time, and if it wasn't polite, Ah Qi almost ended this video conversation. "I'm sure. ”

Yin also said the same thing as Lu Wu. Aqi said. Before Lu Wu came to Nice City, he first went to the Floating Fortress to visit Yin. She was also one of the visitors, so of course she listened to what she said. "But facts speak louder than words. ”

"That floating fortress is quite badly damaged, and if you do it, it will probably be completely destroyed in a few dozen days at most. The way the one who spoke across the terminal showed that he seemed to be a little absent-minded. "I really didn't expect that Lu Wu would ...... Will be firm to this point. "I have to admit that everyone is wrong about Lu Wu. But if you think about it, it's not outrageous -- no, it's normal.

Although such a floating fortress is very precious and rare, it can even be said that there is no such shop in this village, a unique opportunity. But for any calm and sane person, life is truly precious. Without life, there is nothing. No matter how good the Floating Fortress is, it has to be enjoyed by life. From this logic, in order to save your life, even if the floating fortress is lost, there is no pity.

On the earth, there have been bandits who were forced into the wilderness and burned green tickets to keep warm in the cold weather. This kind of thing is ridiculous (and sad), but from an objective point of view, it is normal. Because if your life is gone, then nothing means anything to you, does it?

Therefore, Lu Wu was forced by Grumas, and when he realized that his life was threatened, it would not be strange that even if he did something to burn the qin and cook the crane. As everyone knows, it is normal for human nature to rather destroy things than leave them to the enemy. Therefore, Lu Wu would rather let the floating fortress for which he paid a lot of maintenance money be used and finished, and he would like Grumas to die.

If it's an ordinary person, the idea probably ends here. Because everything that happens is completely logical and in accordance with human nature. But he knew a little better. So he understands that none of this should happen.

Indeed, if someone resorts to force and coerces the Floating Fortress to rise (which is unexpected, but normal when you think about it), then at least for now, Yin should not continue his repair work under such circumstances.

That's why his first instinct was to come to Aqi instead of Hide.

"It shouldn't be......" Hearing the other party's words, Ah Qi also seemed hesitant. Because obviously, if the Floating Fortress will crash in a few dozen days, then what are the maintenance crews doing on the Floating Fortress now?

If the goal is to fix a few systems and let them use their residual heat before it crashes completely, this is certainly possible. But look at the momentum on the Floating Fortress...... Anyone can tell that this is a complete repair. Someone is rebuilding the dismantled systems, such as heating, water supply, internal defense, and so on.

"You're saying the Floating Fortress still works?"

"I feel that way......" Aki didn't want to say that she had just discussed the progress of the Floating Fortress's repairs and future with a few other people not long ago. Everyone's words and demeanors clearly implied that this floating fortress was not disposable cutlery.

Obviously, no one thinks about the long-term disposal of disposable cutlery.

"Impossible...... There is a crack in the load-bearing structure in the middle...... "In the terminal projection, the eyes of the person on the other side are obviously bright. "That's a huge flaw that can't be repaired. Unless replaced...... Sooner or later, the Floating Fortress will be broken in two, or even more. Do you see the cracks?"

Aqi didn't know how to answer for a moment. When she was on the ground, under the leadership of Yin, she did see the crack. But as I said before, it was a typical distant view -- from a distance, there seemed to be a crack. It is completely impossible to have a deep understanding of how deep the cracks are, how serious the hidden dangers are, or so on. If this is a hidden lie, it would not be surprising. Anyway, since the emergence of the social division of labor, there have been too many examples of professionals fooling non-professionals. Of course, maybe it was just a mistake of judgment. Although Yin is known as a master, people make mistakes.

"Aki......" This awkward silence lasted for quite a long time, and the opposite side suddenly said. "If Lu Wu dies, can you guarantee control of the entire legion?"

"I just came here......" Ah Qi was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly replied after a while. "Limited for a few days. ”

"You used to be the Supreme Commander of Gasher," the man on the other side sighed. "Have you never cared about the local army under your command?"

Aki didn't answer, and it wasn't her fault. At that time, where did Lu Wu have any legions? A remnant army with less than 100 men in the name of "legion" was defeated. Even Lu Wu, who is the supreme commander, is actually just an insignificant squadron leader. In order to get a few exoskeleton armors to defend himself, Lu Wu had to take the risk of being cannon fodder and accompany Ah Qi to complete that dangerous journey. It is conceivable that such a legion really has nothing to care about. As for the later expansion of this legion, it was simply put together later. It can be said that all the local army legions on the entire side of Gasha City came together to form such a legion.

"If Lu Wu dies suddenly, who will replace him?"

"It should be red. Ah Qi replied relatively quickly this time. "He is now the deputy commander of the legion and the captain of the first brigade, and is also responsible for the day-to-day operations of the whole army. Whether it is from the current authority or influence, he is the first choice after Lu Wu. ”

"Red, that guy of unknown origin......" The projection groaned. "If the Redcoat also dies, who will control the Legion be. ”

"It should be...... Ivan. Aqi replied. Thinking of the smile that the old man always wore on his face, she always thought that it was he who had come up with the suggestion to fight back against Kecha Goat. It was that suggestion that made Ah Qi fall directly from the peak of his life to the trough. Of course, Aqi herself knows that the other party is just a pusher, and it is not someone else who really makes the decision, it is herself. But Rao was like this, every time she saw the old man's smile, she would feel indescribable bitterness and remorse. But fortunately, she managed to restrain herself, at least she was able to maintain the cold politeness on the surface every time they met. But if one day Aki had a chance, let's say a chance to give Ivan a bullet without fear of retaliation, Aki felt that he would happily pull the trigger. "Although it is only a nominal staff officer, it is actually a wide range of people in the legion...... And because of his actual control and logistics and finances, it is easy to pull up a group of henchmen, and he has an advantage in the competition. ”

"What if he's dead?" the other asked.

"A few captains......" Aqi frowned. "But if they're fighting for the Supreme Commander's position, I'm not sure who's going to win. ”

Her words have made enough hints. Even if all these leaders are dead, it will not be her turn to seize power and control the legion as a newcomer. The other party let out a long sigh, and then the call ended abruptly.
