The gray sword qi was galloping, and the electric light and stone fire had already come to the red war ghost, and the red war ghost raised the battle axe to resist the sword qi and slammed it hard, only to hear a loud sound caused by the impact, and the red war ghost even took a few steps back with the axe to block the impact caused by the sword qi.

"Sigmund Lord!" The hunters, who were watching from the sidelines, hurriedly gathered around.

"I'm fine, stand up to my posts." The red war ghost replied coldly, glanced at the bleeding wrist, and forcibly took the blow just now, not only shaking his wrist to bleed, but until now, the vibration on his wrist has not stopped. Although I knew that this blow would inevitably not be launched often, how long did it take from the time I gathered my fighting energy to the time it was issued?

"Lord Sigmund?" Looking at the red war ghost standing there without saying a word, one of the hunters couldn't help but repeat the sentence again.

"That guy got better." It seemed to say to the chasseur, but it was more like a red war ghost talking to himself. "Damn the Sword Emperor, and those guys... Why stop us at this time ... Looks like I'll have to ask those annoying guys when I get back. ”

"Sigmund Lord!" Seeing that the red war ghost finally looked at him, the hunter led by him breathed a sigh of relief, "The troops have been sorted out, what should I do next?" ”

"How's the casualties?" The Red War Ghost asked.

"One squad was wiped out, and one and a half squadrons were wounded." The lead hunter replied with some shame.

"It's a blessing to face that man's casualties." The red war ghost replied disapprehantly, "According to the plan, you lead two teams to collect the wounded, and after blowing up the Black Moon stronghold, transport all the wounded to the airship as much as possible to pick them up, and I will lead the rest to gather at the agreed place." ”

"Yes!"

。。。。。。

The smoky harbor area, because of the red constellation, the green amusement park has become a sea of fire, and the smoke everywhere covers the traces of people, rushing all the way to the harbor area from the support department, originally thought it was a rather troublesome route but unexpectedly unblocked, the red constellation does not know what kind of arrangement has been made, so that Ike who came all the way did not even see a member of the red constellation on the way, although there are great doubts about this, but the opportunity is rare, give up the hidden figure of Ike, As a result, the speed of progress is much faster.

"Boom!"

A startling explosion interrupted Ike's footwork, and a strong explosion sounded from the top of the IBC headquarters, a symbol of the harbor area that could already be seen, and the orange flames were particularly conspicuous even in the harbor area where the flames were everywhere. Immediately after, not long after the explosion at the top, a series of explosions spread from the roof to the bottom, and the originally magnificent IBC headquarters instantly turned into a burning building, like a torch in the dark night.

"How dare you do it, Red Constellation." Ike muttered, his eyes suddenly drifting to one side.

Two more figures appeared in a trance around the originally empty surroundings, and they walked towards Ike without hurrying.

"Ike~~~"

Hurriedly picking up Ling who pounced on him, Ike glanced back at Levi who came up, "Long time no see, Levi." ”

"Now is not the time to catch up." Levi looked at the soaring torch and replied, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I didn't expect them to really dare to do anything to IBC." Ike shook his head, "But I've sent Tina and Rhine to the Orchid Tower, and they should signal if the Red Constellation is still interesting there, but thankfully they don't seem to have the intention of doing so, at least for now." ”

As soon as Ike finished speaking, a red flying boat flew directly over the heads of Ike and the others from the IBC headquarters.

"You're really well prepared, and sure enough, the airship is ready? Looking at that model, it should be the latest airship, right? Ike snorted, a little unpleasantly said.

"That airship was probably provided by the Thirteenth Workshop." Levy glanced at the airship and replied, "Equipped with a new stealth technology, it is necessary to launch such a large-scale surprise attack on Crossbell." What's next for you? ”

"After this battle, I think Crossbell's fate will be a bad fate in the future." Ike sighed helplessly, "Although I want to catch up, I'm afraid I don't have a chance... For the time being, let Tina and Rhine not act rashly, now it is a sensitive period, on the eve of the vote, there is such a big thing, the garrison will probably carry out a thorough investigation of the underground forces in the future, let Tina and the others be careful not to be discovered by them. As for the rest ... Ji Shen shook his head, "Let's get in touch with the Black Moon and the Guerrilla Association first, why did the Red Constellation choose to suddenly attack at such a time, although I understand that it is a threat to the Empire, but I always feel that it will not be so simple." ”

"You're saying that besides the Empire, there are also people behind it?" Levi frowned.

"It's very simple, even if it's an empire, I don't want Crossbell to become the situation it is now, especially if even the IBC headquarters was bombed, although the Orchid Tower was deliberately abandoned by them, but a huge financial city turning into ruins has limited benefits for them, on the contrary, the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits, what I'm worried about is that someone is taking advantage of the opportunity under the cover of the empire, and the association is obviously involved, which means that as the real boss behind the Red Constellation, I'm afraid the resources that can be used are quite sufficient, at least in terms of money."

"If it's money—" Ling looked thoughtfully at the burning IBC headquarters, "no one in the region is richer than them, right?" ”

"I thought so at first, even when the Red Constellation invaded." Ike frowned, "But the cost of building your own headquarters building is too great, right?" In order to become the president who is caught between the three countries, he would rather give half of his life to earn the wealth? You must know that although there is a lot of call for Crossbell to become an independent country now, after this crisis, the residents of Crossbell, who share the same hatred, will also be in favor of the establishment of an independent country, but the people's will cannot become combat effectiveness in a short period of time, I can't believe that Crossbell can stand up in the face of the strongest military countries on the two continents. ”

"The mind of a politician, how can you guess." Levi replied with some disapproval, "Tell me about your analysis of the Red Constellation's attack. ”

"It is not difficult to analyze, the person who can invite the Red Constellation must have sufficient funds, and secondly, to be able to use the relationship between the Red Constellation and the Empire as a cover to do such a big thing, he must have a considerable level of network in the Crossbell area, and he can clearly know the movements of the garrison. In the end, after this action, the Red Constellation may tear its face with the Empire, and a major event like the attack on Crossbell that is enough to sensationalize the continent and attract all countries to pursue it cannot be moved without enough price. And now that the red constellation has taken up both things, the price given by the latter behind the scenes is probably quite high. Ike replied with a solemn expression.

"High enough for the Red Constellation to attack Crossbell at the risk of being pursued by all the nations of the Western Continent."
