209. Druid Squad
When Irina acted alone, she was very uncertain. But after all, she is the hope of the Russians who have no scruples, more like bears than like people, although she grew up in much warmer Scotland, but **Fu and others still take her to Siberia every year to practice. And every year Irina receives gifts from her lovely, straight-hearted uncles and uncles, vodka and munitions are invariably among them, not because they think little girls will like such things, but because they may be the best things they can get their hands on.
Irina wants to prove herself in front of Zuo Lin and prove that she is not a child who needs to rely on others for everything, and only then will she have a place in the heavy work of the Operations Department. There is no cannon fodder in the Operations Department, this is the first time he entered the Operations Department, and when he faced Zuo Lin for the first time, Zuo Lin said that before he proved that he had the ability to take on the task, he could only serve as an attaché and an auxiliary person. And this time, because of the urgency of the situation, this case was broken. Irina is not capable of transfiguration, but her physical fitness is very good, and after strengthening her body with the power of nature, she has given birth to two extremely thin and broad leaves, which open like wings. When running, the blades provide a little lift, which can cancel out a large part of her weight, making her walk lighter, and she can glide a little more after crossing the mountains, which is faster than just running.
But the speed that really determines xìng comes from a car. After Irina ran wildly for several hours, she finally saw the road and saw a jeep parked on the side of the road, and two men seemed to be peeing on the side of the road. Irina didn't have time to talk to those two guys, and she didn't want to deal with them, so Irina, who had inherited a bit of a brutal temperament, kicked the two poor people into a ditch, threw her phone on them, and drove away.
Finally, 22 hours ahead of the two-day deadline set by Zorin, she connected to Insula in the communications office of the U.S. military base.
Insula arranged a separate room for confidential calls before Irina told him about the situation. When he learned that Zorin and Pauletta were going to accompany those African warriors to the Hidden Treasure of the Earth King, the so-called Holy Land, to fight against the Dark Council, even because Sula was used to seeing big scenes, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"You stay at the base, and I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Laribela. I can't forward the order of the Operations Department instead of Zuo Lin, you can use this line to connect with Mr. Sun Digui, or connect with Murray to issue an order for a state of emergency. I'll let you know at headquarters. After a few words, Insula hung up the phone and hurried to call Bernard.
Bernard was also very anxious when he heard this, and the Operations Division now had four teams of 6 people. Men should be sufficient, but Bernard still feels a little uneasy.
"Sophocles, how about you help with a run?" Bernard asked, "with Elani." I'll let 'Chang Chūn Vine' Monica and 'Peachtree' Bergkamp to Africa and you'll meet. 'Fox' Cadia and 'Ape' Gil are in Monaco now, and I'll call them. You will gather together in Cairo, and I will let Insula figure out the means of transportation and so on. In the blink of an eye, Bernard had a strong line-up that was a little abrupt. Elani is the previous "Falcon", and now works as a teacher at the headquarters, Monica, Bergkamp and Cadia are all veteran druids rescued from Rìben's trip, and their abilities are self-evident, while "Ape" Jill is an extremely strong guy, plus Sophocles...... If they can catch up with the conflict with the Dark Council, then it is estimated that the people of the Dark Council will have to admit their own bad luck.
It took two days to get people together, but it was quicker than the squad of the Operations Division, which was now in charge in Brazil, had to arrange things to get out.
However, after Irina delivered the information, she did not follow Insula's instructions to stay in the camp of the American army, but asked the base commander for a Humvee, and drove back. She went back and forth in 48 hours, barely resting for a minute, but she brought Zolin a reply from Insula, and on her way back she also received a list of druids from headquarters who were coming to Africa to support, and the Humvee she was coming to was a communication model with a high-power secret radio installed on it. Although Insula was a little anxious after learning that Irina had left, and almost authorized a special operation that would obviously cause trouble when she entered Ethiopian territory, when she learned that Irina had taken such a car with her, and even carried a bunch of munitions, Insula understood. I'm afraid there's another unstable element in the Operations Division. If Yu Xiaohua's skillful tactical skills come from training since childhood, in addition to skills, more attention is paid to moral and volitional qualities, then Irina who was brought up by unscrupulous guys such as ** husband may be the other side, perhaps, it will be more similar to the side of terrorists or extremists.
When Irina returned to the camp, she saw the whole of Larribella nervously preparing to leave. Thanks to the addition of Zorin and Pauletta, and with considerable help, the preparations for the departure of the clan warriors were much faster than in the preparatory department. Pauletta threw out a large sum of dollars to buy a large number of cars from nearby towns. In Africa, there is only such a thing as a car, and the seller absolutely guarantees the quality. If there is an anchor in the desert and the wasteland, it is not a trivial matter. If the buyer is lucky not to die, there is a good reason to come back and cut people, and this kind of question, even if the zhèng fǔ organ does not ask too much.
When Irina returned, the team was ready to set off, and several excellent fighters had already gone out dozens of kilometers of reconnaissance route and made markers. Irina and Zolin talked about the situation in general, and then hid in the corner of the Humvee in a blanket and went to sleep.
Hermione had already sensed that something was wrong. After recording her experiences, she walked around the camp and went to the church to see the unique Christian culture of Africa, leaving behind countless jīng colorful photos. However, she sensed the solemnity of the church in La Ribera and the surrounding camp, where warriors from all tribes had apparently not gathered for some large ritual, wiping their weapons, packing their food with them, or anointing their bodies with the pattern that represented the identity of the tribal warriors, which was clearly a scene of preparation for battle.
"Did something happen?" Hermione asked Zolin.
"There are invaders who threaten these tribes. They were united and ready to fight. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zuo Lin said truthfully, "Tomorrow there is a Red Cross plane here to deliver medicines, and you will go back to Cairo with that plane." Pauletta has got you in touch. ”
"Is it dangerous, why do you want to go with you?" said Hermione, who didn't know much about the identities of Zolin and Pauletta.
"We're different," Zolin didn't explain much.
"Can you take me to see it? I won't get in your way, and I'll run away when there's danger. You know I'm scared to death. Hermione pleaded.
"Well, that's what you said. Pauletta, who walked in from outside the tent, suddenly interjected, his face not very good: "There is a UNHCR supply center nearby, and there are flights every three days. The supervisor there was a friend of mine and could help with the arrangements. ”
Hermione, of course, was overjoyed. Zorin wondered why Pauletta was so talkative, only to learn later that the Red Cross plane had been shot down in Egypt. It may be that the Dark Council knows that Larry Bella has gathered a lot of warriors, as well as African Christian priests, and does not want them to get another batch of important supplies.
The situation was getting worse and worse, and now the only way they could keep Hermione safe was to take her with them to the UNHCR supply center. In any case, it is garrisoned by a small detachment of multinational peacekeeping forces, and there is not only an airstrip, but also three helicopters and several armored vehicles. Although those soldiers have excellent military qualities, they can only be regarded as some playthings in front of the people of the Dark Council. However, no matter how bold the Dark Council is, I am afraid that it will not be impulsive enough to provoke these soldiers stationed abroad and provoke the state apparatus behind it. In particular, although it is said that the Dark Council has the upper hand in the battle with the Truth Society, the two sides are fighting fiercely. The truth will have sufficient financial resources to ensure it, and I am not very worried about fighting a protracted war. The Dark Council is not so optimistic, otherwise it would not have come to Africa at this juncture to find the treasure of the Earth King.
It will make you look good!" Zuo Lin secretly thought in his heart, anyway, the Dark Council was guilty of public anger at this moment. It's not just him, but not many people in the world dare to do such a thing as shooting down a Red Cross plane. If the characters behind the Red Cross come out to take revenge, it will probably be enough for the Dark Council to drink.
Due to the special situation this time, not all the bodyguards who accompanied him, even those at the level of the druid council attendants, could follow. Zolin and Pauletta occupied an open-top Wrangler Jeep, while Irina, Hermione, and two more experienced squires occupied the Humvee. And there is space for wealthy Humvees, which are also used to carry the weapons and other supplies they carry.
Among these people, there is rarely a need to worry about their stuff going missing. If those warriors and wizards take a fancy to what they carry, they will usually exchange it with something that they think is of equal value. Most of those things that were exchanged were gold, gems, diamonds, and some things that could no longer be used as ritual artifacts over time, but only as artifacts and cultural relics. The Swiss Army Knife, which Hermione had bought before coming to Africa but had not used much, was exchanged for a fist-sized unpolished sapphire by a dark wizard with fairly good mana. Although Hermione was embarrassed and repeatedly said that she didn't need such a valuable thing, the dark wizard didn't care and left with the gem and the Swiss Army knife. It's easy for these powerful people to get their hands on gems, diamonds, and gold, but it's hard to get them into the modern world to get those industrial items.
But none of this can diminish the atmosphere of the battle that is constantly gathering in the advancing ranks at equal speed. The soldiers who went out to scout kept changing, and the replaced ones fell asleep in the trucks wrapped in the cloaks they wore on their bodies. It doesn't stop all the way. It only took them two days to reach the outskirts of what is said to be the treasure of the Earth King, a place known as the Crystal Mountain.
