The bands have not been quiet in recent days, but the friction between the two is not intense. Battles between infiltration and counter-infiltration, where the advance preparation of each area gives them an advantage, but the advantage is decreasing at a visible rate. This is especially prominent in their discussions. The enemy's march through the mountains became smoother, perhaps due to the rapid accumulation of experience.

The number of casualties on each day remained balanced, and after the first few days of intense fighting, a sense of inertia appeared in both. Perhaps this is not an appropriate description, but in fact, the organization has gone from invading the mountains in small groups to now making planned and targeted advances, which have played an important role in stabilizing their own state.

According to the plan, the transfer and cooperation of more than a dozen teams made the empire suffer greater losses.

"Yesterday, those teams came to us again. Compressed food made a crunch in his mouth, and Mousse, as the owner of this airship, often did the work of hosting and provoking topics, "More than 100 people went to surround them, but in the end, they were able to break through successfully, and they couldn't delay the arrival of the support team." ”

"Your lieutenants should have told you the news, it seems that there are three well-staffed teams, and the equipment is not good, but from the few people who are alive, we know that although the strength of these people is not very strong, they have extremely rich experience in fighting between mountains and jungles, and their overall strength is very terrifying. If it is encountered alone, so far, no team has been able to collide with it, except for running away as much as possible. Augustus of the Three Primary Colors Group put down the packaging bag of compressed food and poured himself a glass of wine as he spoke, "Very professional team. Most of the people we brought here this time have received excellent training and have experience in this kind of geographical combat, but compared to these teams, the gap is not so simple. Specialization, just like those engineers who are engaged in technical work within the company, the atmosphere of doing things is completely different. ”

This news was also mentioned a few days ago, but it was not taken much seriously. As the teams that had been annihilated in recent days accumulated, they gradually entered the sight of the leaders in each region.

"It's almost impossible to rule out that it's a mercenary team, and powerful mercenaries won't accept a mercenary to come here. Although there is a point in the intelligence that 'personal strength' is not outstanding, the horizontal line between the two is not the same. Some, like the family's long-trained private teams, were thrown here to fight. Personally, I think the possibility of Yeterin forming it himself is very low. While Augustus was drinking, Saint-Ged continued, "Besides, I wonder if you have received similar news?"

Saint Gede's words immediately attracted the attention of the other three, and he immediately understood the answer: "You know that the area I supervise is nearby, so it will be easier to get some information. It was my adjutant who personally made a trip to several battle arenas to actually take a look. As a result、、、 "The kind of smile on his face that makes people feel comfortable, although this is also a smirking skill left over from the Holy Envoy stage, "There is a taste of the empire and the military department in it, and my adjutant said that the other party can't be described simply as 'professional' to some extent." Standing in the field after the battle, and recalling the scene of the battle based on the traces of the time that were not cleaned, you can feel something. ”

"The experience of the other party is not limited to the word 'professional', but also like a textbook-style module, which can be used as a reference for many teams. ”

"Is it the military department?" not only was Mousse very interested, but the other three were all very curious, "Thinking about it this way, there will indeed be a team in the empire and the military department that is experienced in mountain and jungle battles and has a tacit understanding. It's just that if someone from the military department is involved this time, we should have some information, right?"

"According to common sense, but there are some missions、、、 maybe this one is - no consideration of the recovery of the body, no consideration of the team's survival chances, logistics, medical care、、、, etc., and if the person giving the order is of high enough rank, this trace will not be recorded at all. There are frictional borders throughout the empire, and it is enough to add the names of random people to the death list, and ensure that no trace is left. Augustus was familiar with this process. When dealing with the internal problems of the Three Primary Colors Group, he often used a similar approach in his deployment.

"Will it affect us?" asked the silent Lidion.

"It's a little bit longer, and when they get into the area that we're supervising, it's going to have an impact. "But I don't think they can wait for that time, as long as our plan for the goal is successful, it will be a matter of a moment for the banded mountains to lose their value." ”

"Then let's talk about it as a relaxing news, even if there are people from the military department involved, it is the upper echelons who should be worried, and there is not much we can do. Lydion stated his point very seriously, and there was not a trace of emotion in his words, like a rock on the shore that has been beaten countless times by the waves, without any impurities, "It's time, and Mavis will be here soon." With that, Lidion gulped down the compressed food in his hand and swallowed it with a few sips of wine.

It had been a rule for a few days, and five minutes after Mavis's communication, it was only when the hum of the lift device came from the sky that Mousse and the other four emitted their perception in one direction each. There was no anomaly around, and in their perception, it was at least two kilometers away. Further afield, the distance of two kilometres is enough time to prepare for the unexpected.

The rope was lowered, and the four of them relied on their arm strength to pull themselves directly onto the airship, and after a simple morning greeting, the side door of the cabin closed, and the airship went up.

"There's not much left, and in about two days, it's going to be the end. It was Mavis who came out to greet her, and the five of them were smiling as they walked to the room where they were discussing and reviewing their information. But with a loud muffled sound of the bulletproof glass of the capsule cracking, the wind that poured in filled the room at great speed, rushing into Mavis and their faces.

"Bombs!" Agnes' roar shook their eardrums through several layers of steel plates, and in the nearly closed space, the gunshots rang out almost simultaneously in an explosive shape, each striking on their hearts.
