The 333rd year of the United Calendar, summer, July 29, 4 o'clock in the morning.

The third branch of the North Makuzhou branch is located in the coastal area.

"What do you say? Say it again. Awakened from his sleep by the noisy sound outside the door and the frantic knocking on the door, the face of the branch head was a little ugly, but the moment he pushed the door open, the staff said a word that made him stunned on the spot.

"Major, the fourth squad of the seventh detachment of the Greedy Wolf Army-type combat armored unit, which went to the east coast to investigate the windy weather, completely lost all contact half an hour ago."

"Lost contact? How is this possible? "The whole person of the branch major is not good, he never thought that it would be this result, the team was still in transit with him a few days ago, and went to the east coast, but he didn't expect this to be the result now.

"Another very important thing, before the fourth team lost contact, the Akatsuki reaction detector they were wearing sent a reaction message to our department, but it disappeared when it was just lit up."

"The specific information was not transmitted."

As soon as he heard this, the major was no longer sleepy, and suddenly came to his senses, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "Contact the local department immediately and ask what the situation of the team is now." ”

"Yes."

On the east coast, the wind is howling, and the waves are crashing on the beach, even in front of the hillside.

The original searchlights were all removed, everyone evacuated urgently, and the middle-aged man at the head stood on the top of the cliff with a complicated face, looking at the surging ocean, and regretted it in his heart.

Knowing that the matter was so serious, he would definitely not be the one who made the decision, and now he didn't know what was going on at the bottom of the sea, and the entire submarine had lost contact, most of which was more than lucky......

"Leader, the call of the Gonglian branch." The person on the side suddenly walked up and handed the communicator to the middle-aged man.

Picking up the communicator with a heavy palm, the middle-aged man said, "This is the jurisdiction of the East Coast, and we seem to be in big trouble here." ”

"The submarine has lost contact and the wind is still rising, which is likely to cause a small tsunami, but fortunately the nearby residents have already evacuated."

"Yes, there was no signal for a moment."

"At that time, it seemed that they were going to dig some rock, and the team leader personally left the submarine to do it, and then there was no reaction." The middle-aged man said all the news with a helpless face, and then he heard a different person on the other side, and shouted in an extremely stern tone: "You immediately issue an emergency notice to organize everyone near the coastal area to evacuate, at least everyone who is thirty kilometers away from the coastline!" Did you hear me clearly? ”

"What?!" The middle-aged man was stunned.

"I don't need your nonsense, I'll take care of everything, evacuate the crowd now." The branch major shouted.

"Ah, okay."

Boom.

The communicator hung up, the major of the branch had a calm face, and the staff on the side asked cautiously: "Major, is it too hasty, the sudden evacuation of so many people is likely to cause large-scale panic and negative impact on the masses." ”

"Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense!" The major of the branch slapped him on the head and scolded him angrily: "Lao Tzu knows very well what he is doing, Lao Tzu just doesn't want the tragedy of fourteen years ago to happen again!" ”

"Pick me up at the headquarters of the third branch immediately."

"Yes, Major!"

……

At 4:35 a.m., the headquarters of the Central Muzhou Communist Federation.

The charming woman lay on the bed, a faint black shadow behind her slowly squirmed, and the black lotus mark at the center of her eyebrows exuded a strange light.

In the hallway, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

Ash opened her eyes, the dark pupils flowed, and the shadow behind her gradually dissipated, she raised her eyes and looked at the door, and before anyone outside the door knocked on the door, she spoke: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Deputy Leader, urgent news, the third branch of the North Curtain Continent has reported that there has been an Akatsuki reaction of unknown scale on the seabed near the eastern coastline, and all the A-class humanoid armored forces that went to investigate the abnormal wind weather have lost contact in an instant."

According to the report of the major of the third branch in the coastal area, he said......" The guard's tone was a little hurried, and he said: "It is likely to be at the lord level!" ”

Quiet.

There was no sound in the door, and the guards looked at the tightly closed door with some trepidation, waited for a few breaths, and suddenly opened.

Ash walked out with a solemn face, she looked at the guard, and asked, "Where is the communicator, let that branch major talk to me, I want to ask clearly." ”

A few minutes later, Ash, who put down the communicator again, immediately issued a notice to convene an emergency meeting of the Communist Federation, and summoned all the high-level officials to come to the meeting.

After finishing speaking, Ash's eyes paused slightly, and he asked the guard, "What are you doing?" ”

"Huh?" Suddenly realizing what Ash meant, the guard hurriedly said, "The leader is still in the first laboratory and has not come out. ”

Ash's eyes sank and he asked, "Are you still busy with that little girl?" ”

"This subordinate doesn't know." The guard bowed his head.

Waving his hand to let the guards down, Ash watched him leave with some distraught, his eyes wandering, and he couldn't help but look in a certain direction in the headquarters.

"You can't just leave something so important." She muttered to herself, and walked slowly in that direction.

The first laboratory of the Gonglian, since Ji Tianyi became the leader of the Gonglian and established the entire new Gonglian system, this laboratory has always been his private laboratory, except for some necessary helpers, no one is allowed to enter at will.

At this moment, after passing through the long spiral corridor, Ash came to the energy reactor located in the center of the underground inside the Gonglian, and looked at the incomparably huge alloy gate in front of him.

She stood in the doorway, silent, not speaking.

She knew he could see herself.

Waiting quietly, Ash's face was calm, without any eagerness.

I don't know how long I stood there, but behind the huge alloy gate, a clear and indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

"What?"

"Your Excellency, Leader." Ash bowed his hand and saluted, got up and said: "Near the eastern coast of the North Curtain Continent of the Gonglian, traces of suspected lord-level red demons have been discovered, and the subordinates have announced an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with it, I don't know what you mean......"

"Do you have any trouble handling this matter?" An indifferent voice sounded slowly.

"No, of course not." Ash hurriedly denied how she could let her abilities be questioned, and then said, "My subordinates just want to ask your lord what you mean." ”

"As it should be, as it should be."

"People? You have. Means? You have it too. If it's just a lord-level red demon, and you still want to trouble me, what use do I want from you? ”

Ash bowed his head in fear and said nothing.

"Bring its core here, stand down." An indifferent voice sounded, and there was no movement.

Standing still for a moment, Ash slowly looked up, his gaze paused on the alloy gate before turning to leave.

"Subordinates, obey your lordship's orders."

Gentle words, echoing in front of the empty door.

……

At 5:20 a.m., the high-level leaders of the Communist Federation who were urgently summoned in the conference hall looked at the charming woman in black dress sitting at the head, and some of them frowned slightly, but they didn't say anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, traces of the Red Demon have been found on the east coast of Beimu Island, and according to the major of the local branch, the communication signal of the team going to investigate was blocked by the strong Akatsuki reaction in an instant, and even the feedback from the Akatsuki reaction monitor was not sent back completely." Ash raised his head, his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes staring at everyone present, and his tone was slightly cold.

"It's almost certain that there's a power of Akatsuki that has been lurking there for a long time, and it's formed a presence close to the lord level."

"Tell me what we should do."

Ash's words fell, and the whole audience was silent, and the old man who sat in the second place at the top, who was also the old man who often reported various matters to Ash, coughed lightly and said, "Since it is a lord-level red demon, it must be decisive to strike and nip it in the bud." ”

"I propose that the S-level armored martial god combat power be dispatched immediately to exterminate the lord-level red demon."

"Heige Lao, the current situation is still unclear, I think we should understand the situation first." Someone below retorted.

"No, how can you hesitate for a long time to deal with the red demon and not make a decision, do you have to wait until it becomes impossible to deal with it?" Someone asked.

"Shut up!" Ashley shouted.

"Regardless of whether the news of the lord-level red demon is true or not, I have decided to send S-level to find out, and now I have to decide who to send."

"Lord Deputy Leader, can an S-rank deal with a lord?" The other old man sitting opposite the old man in the Black Pavilion frowned and asked.

"According to the archives, from the beginning of the Red Moon to the present, the two lord-level red demons "Yanlin" and "Frost" that have appeared are not comparable in combat power to the general S-level, if the news on the east coast is true, I am afraid that an S-level will not be able to solve the problem." The old man said solemnly.

"Gu Ge Lao is not unreasonable." Ash nodded and said, "Although the S-rank is not enough to fight against the lord-level red demon, it is still enough to simply investigate the situation, I decided to send an S-class combat force to investigate the specific situation on the seabed of the east coast first, and then judge the next treatment." ”

Although she was a little dissatisfied with Ash, there was nothing to say about the decision she made, everyone nodded, Ash narrowed his phoenix eyes, and said: "Since the location of this battle is likely to be at the bottom of the sea, the S-level combat power needs to have underwater combat capabilities, so it is better for you to decide who to go." ”

Hearing this, everyone unanimously looked at a middle-aged bearded man in the crowd, and the man noticed that everyone's eyes were also slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "See what I do?" ”

"Your family has a deep background, I don't know if you have the ability to deal with this difficulty." Ash looked at him with a smile.

"Duinfit."

The middle-aged bearded man frowned slightly, pinched his chin with his palm and thought about it, and said: "Although there are still some prototypes of advanced armor that have not been used, there seems to be only one that has underwater combat capabilities. ”

"Do you need me to arrange for someone to try out that armor?" Ash asked, and the eyes of the people around him flickered as they looked at the middle-aged bearded man.

"If there is a shortage of manpower, I have someone who can handle S-class armor."

"We have it at home."

"Stop arguing!"

Duinfit said helplessly: "The armored prototype made by our family is naturally used within the priority family, and our Duinfit family will take the lead in this mission." ”

"In that case, let's do it first." Ash said with satisfaction: "I will send someone to pay close attention to the situation." ”

"In addition, mobilize all the personnel of the second and third branches of the North Makuzhou, organize the combat troops, and order all the surrounding freeman-type armored squads to rush to the east coast and prepare for battle!"

"Ladies and gentlemen." Ash looked at everyone present and said word by word: "No matter what else happens, war, no joke. ”

"There is no room for error."
