vs 248 Father
ββ¦β¦ Access to residential areas and barracks has been completely closed...... Leave the emergency passage on the left as the entrance...... The mass sensing detection system has been fully activated...... The contrast system is also in place. β
In the previous back command center, the contact with the red clothes was always maintained. Everything went in an orderly manner according to Red's orders. It must be said that everything is in order, and no one can find fault with it. If that Ranger is hiding in the Floating Fortress, then he has no chance to take advantage of it. Even further, if he hadn't arranged a retreat for himself (or if the retreat had been cut off), then this time he would probably have become a rat in a cage and would sooner or later be caught. Of course, no one is really expecting this possibility. The Rangers are a truly elite scout force, and nine percent of their deaths have been recorded as being because they broke away from their status as scouts and ventured to try to challenge a strong enemy, or were simply hit by an accidental stray bullet. There are only a handful of examples of people who are really caught and killed because their escape skills are not up to par.
"That's right, make the detection a little less sensitive. The Red Coats finally gave the order. This is also a reasonable order, after all, it was used to the limit, which is bound to reduce the service life of the equipment. Since you can't catch the prey, you can only do this first. No one questioned the words of the Red Coat, and the relevant orders were quickly executed.
After doing this and making sure that everything that needed to be done was done, Red-Yi did not go back to the command center, but walked to his living quarters.
For a legion, the Floating Fortress has enough living space to allocate a room to each person. As a high-level commander, especially the first person under Lu Wu, Hongyi naturally got a room of his own for the first timeβthe big and spacious one.
β¦β¦
"How is it possible!" Butterfly Dream was almost stunned. It's impossible!
However, once this thought appears, it cannot be suppressed like a seed that takes root and sprouts. Yes, what would happen if Kaicha Goat teamed up with the Radiant Moon faction? Everyone who was well-informed knew that Kecha Goat had almost nothing to do with the Stygian Moon forces to the ground. All he had to do was rely on the resources provided by a Banshee Gate region. And it's not a well-developed area.
Think about it, how much incredible knowledge and wisdom does Kecha Goat possess, and if that incredible knowledge and wisdom can be combined with the resources that Hui Yue has at his disposal...... Even if it is said that it is impossible to end this fateful battle.
This temptation is indeed enough for an archon to take the risk.
Moreover, the identity of the old woman is very special. Everyone knows that she is very old, so big that the number of life-extending surgeries she has undergone has reached the limit. On the plus side, and an optimistic estimate, she has another twenty years to live, but that's the theoretical ceiling. In fact, even if the old woman dies tomorrow, it is completely normal. I think that the senior management has already made relevant personnel preparations and waited for her death, and the alternate for the seventh seat is probably impatient. Her death didn't cause much fluctuation.
But on the other hand, the old woman has the qualifications to represent the entire Huiyue camp in terms of strength, identity, qualifications, and experience. In other words, she is qualified to negotiate with Kecha Goyat on behalf of the Huiyue camp.
That's why the old woman would sneak up on her own to the Banshee's Gate?
After a long time, Diemeng finally broke the silence. "It's too unlikely, isn't it?" she asked, not quite sure.
"Yes, it's very unlikely. The old woman nodded, agreeing with the other's opinion. "But the stakes are too great, and it's worth the risk. And...... Now there's a chance!"
"But...... Why are you here even if you're going to look for Kecha Goat?"
"By the way, of course. The old woman laughed. "No matter what, let's go meet the legion leader, Your Excellency Lu Wu. Do you know him?"
"It's kind of a collaborator. Butterfly dreamed of what the old woman had just said, so she was a little absent-minded. "And he must have owed me a great favor. The matter of the Flare family was caused by him. By the way, about the Flare Family......"
"In the Huiyue camp, there is no longer a noble house called Bright Sun. The old woman laughed, and spat out the most chilling words in the gentlest of tones.
The common understanding of this sentence is that all the warlocks of the family have been killed, and of course, it is more likely that all the members of the family have been killed.
"That ......" Butterfly dreamed of speaking, but the chill in her heart pressed the words in her throat.
This dead old woman...... Sure enough, it's as ruthless as ever......
It's not that she hasn't killed anyone, and she knows that if the Governor's family in the border lands has the potential to rebel, they will basically suffer this fate. But she asked herself that she couldn't be as casual as the old woman, to put it mildly, and she couldn't do that kind of killing without leaving any trouble.
The demise of the Flare family happened completely quietly, and even she didn't get any news. A family with a glorious beginning, a long heritage, and of course, the most important thing, the favor of Huiyue, just quietly disappeared into history, without a trace. Although they are on opposite sides, the incident itself makes people feel like they are standing upside down. The death of the rabbit and the fox is nothing more than sad.
"My good student, you seem to be a little dissatisfied? It's all for your aftermath......" said the old woman casually.
Of course, Diemeng didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to mention this topic again. She didn't really sympathize with the Bright Sun family, she just felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Only one point.
"By the way, what kind of person is Lu Wu? The old woman changed the subject.
"In what way?" Butterfly asked cautiously.
"I've heard," said the old woman. "He was a very decisive and courageous man, with both a lot of vision and a lot of wisdom. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reorganize the legion defeated by Kechakoyat in a short period of time as a junior officer in the legion, and finally repel several times the enemy army and rescue ten times the number of allies, and obtain the position of legion commander by virtue of this merit. The old woman sighed. "The fact that such outstanding men who have performed such outstanding feats have not been incorporated into the regular army because of all sorts of stupid prejudices can only say that there is a major problem in our system, and the consuls need to reflect on it. β
"Well, I can't be wrong, but ...... I don't know much about this...... When I came, he was already a legion commander. β
"And his fight for the Floating Fortress...... The Radiant Sun family has a grudge against him over this. I would say that it was a very brave and very unscrupulous approach. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have had even the slightest chance of winning against the Flare Family. She shook her head. "At that time I thought he was a reckless man, a reckless man with good luck, but when I saw him at the base camp, I realized that this man came from an extraordinary background. β
"People born and raised in the border lands, what is the extraordinary origin?" said Butterfly Dream in her stomach, but she immediately thought of Amber.
The only thing I couldn't figure out was the amber...... What the hell is going on?
When she came here, she had seen Amber by Lu Wu's side. Of course, at that time, she didn't notice anything wrong with Amber, she just thought she was a shy ordinary girl. However, if Amber is the First Lawman, the situation is completely different. And she still stayed by Lu Wu's side in the form of a spirit body......
She had a vague feeling that the dead old woman might not have understood what was going on at first, but now she had clearly understood the truth. However, the dead old woman is a dead old woman after all, and she obviously will not tell others the truth she knows.
At the entrance of the passage ahead, two soldiers stood guard. They looked nervous, apparently already knowing that a Ranger had infiltrated the interior of the Floating Fortress. This entrance has a mass detection device, and it is impossible to get close to it by stealth, so the Ranger will not theoretically approach it - except in a hurry, of course. However, they already knew the identities of these two people, so when they saw the two warlocks, they immediately made a welcome gesture.
"The Legion Commander is already waiting for the two. One of them said.
β¦β¦
Hongyi took out two cups from the cupboard and poured hot water on them. By this time, many of the systems of the Floating Fortress had been restored, such as water circulation and exhaust facilities, which were fully operational. Therefore, at this time, the floating fortress is already a more habitable place than a surface city. Wanting hot water is just a matter of switching.
He handed a cup to the Lunatic Warlock in front of him.
The Stygian Warlock's eyes widened, and he looked around at the large, but shabby house. This is clearly the living room of the red coats, and it looks like a lot of space, divided into five or six rooms, but the furniture inside is lackluster. Nothing but a cupboard, a table, a bed and a few chairs and other basic furniture.
It looks empty, and it can't help but remind people of the residence of the poor people of the lower class. It is estimated that those at the bottom who did not graduate from the incubation center β a group full of garbage, scum and cannon fodder β will live in such a place. In fact, they wouldn't have survived unless they had one last function.
"You shouldn't be here...... Why are you here?" asked Red. "And how did you become a Ranger? I remember that Rangers were usually ...... because of their training and numbers."
"Usually recruit low-level warlocks?" the Moon Warlock sneered. "Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Later, in order to increase the reserve force of the Dark Rangers, a special order was issued to train the Rangers in all aspects to select suitable personnel......" she shrugged. "I participated, moreover, completed the training...... A lot of people participated. β
"Impossible...... In this way, even if all the spies on Huiyue's side were blind, they would be able to find out the mystery of the rangers. β
"Of course it's not that stupid, it's just necessary tactical training. Practice survival in the wild, fighting alone, weapon use, and more. It's similar to the training of ordinary scout troops on Huiyue's side. In this case, the Rangers will have a large reserve. You know, in fact, the Rangers' real most critical mystery training didn't take long, and it only took me ten days to fully grasp it...... In short, it was a policy, so that the Rangers would have a large reserve force and could expand their ranks for a short time when they were really needed. Now is the time. β
"Expand the team in a short period of time?" Redcoat frowned, realizing something.
"Kecha Goatt has set a targeted trap," the Moon Warlock said in a very casual tone. "The idiots at the top have been tricked...... It was a complete defeat, and the losses of the Rangers who participated in the battle were as high as seventy percent. The entire team of the Rangers can be said to be disabled. So they hurriedly recruited new recruits from the reserves, and I took the opportunity to join. β
"This casualty...... With such a big risk, why would you join the Rangers?" the hand in Redcoat holding the cup shook violently.
"Hahahaha......" The Stygian suddenly laughed, leaning forward. "Are you worried about me? haha...... Ha ha...... I'm not mistaken? It really doesn't look like something you'd do...... Dear Father!"
Red's face turned pale in an instant.
