To Austin's surprise, the next day von Lantrin did not express surprise at his azure pupils, but only asked him to go to his personal file to record his freshman "natural ability".

The staff of the Personal Archives Department congratulated and amazed Austin on his awakening of natural abilities, but anything can happen in this era, and he didn't feel too surprised by Austin's changes.

The days full of blood and gore passed away, but for people like Austin, such days were just mechanical and plain.

Two weeks later.

"There's another operation tomorrow night, and you need to take someone there," Back in his office, Austin was called over by Von Lantrin again, "But it's not mainly you, this time the Operations Department is responsible for supervising, and the main ones are the sneakers and the Inquisitor's group of magic sticks." ”

Speaking of business, Austin's face returned to expressionless coldness, nodded and said, "No problem." But why did the Divine Sticks intervene? Didn't the Inquisitors deal with that kind of ...... all the time?"

Von Lantrin interrupted impatiently, "That's right, the Great Cultist...... The Ministry of Intelligence said that it was a spy of the northern barbarians, who not only infiltrated the vicinity of the imperial capital, but also promoted the evil god of Dana in the surrounding settlements. All you need to do is to help you deal with some emergencies. ”

Hearing that it was related to the northern barbarians, Austin suddenly chuckled softly in his heart, and the abnormality of his natural ability was about to be buried in the busyness of the past two months, and now it was suddenly brought up again.

However, he still perfectly disguised the sudden panic and said, "What about the specific course of action?"

"Tomorrow afternoon it will be placed on your desk, and according to the old rules, this operation is highly confidential, and the operation plan will be drawn up by the Operations Department, the Inquisition, and the Covert Cavalry, and the official documents will be issued to the various commanders tomorrow, and your men will only know the details before the operation. You have one night to get ready and inform your subordinates that you will all be quarantined tomorrow day. By the way, for the last operation, you had two of your men seriously injured, so this time you can send the remaining twenty-eight people over, don't send new people to make up for thirty people, there is not enough time to run in. ”

"Understood. Austin replied.

Normally, each inquisitor would have twenty-five to fifty soldiers at the beginning, and Austin had thirty standing men, who were the core of his combat force. After each operation, the executive officer fills in his subordinates, and in today's situation, considering the cooperation of the soldiers, it seems that the action is indeed extremely important.

"That's it, since the other party can lurk so close to Apocalypse City, he is naturally not an ordinary person. You pay more attention and prepare. ”

Austin obviously felt that Von Lantlin was in a bad mood, and there seemed to be a dark cloud of brewing storm between his eyebrows, so he didn't say anything and bowed away.

On the second day, at a quarter past six, a long procession rolled up smoke and dust and rushed out of the east gate.

The dark horsemen of the black armor and black flag rode an iron wildebeest, carrying a long sword carved with a seraphim on their backs, the cavalry spear hung on the left side of the saddle, the gun hung on the right side of the saddle, and the dust mask covered the solemn faces.

In the middle of the team is a judge wearing a red robe, ten inquisitors holding a bronze cover of the holy book, while feeling the bump of the white horse, while muttering a prayer in their mouths, the holy book is really spiritual, with the anger of everyone emitting a faint golden light, with the spread of light, the whole person is wrapped in it, isolated from the wild and violent wind and sand. Ten people rode around the middle, "Holy Light Priest" Rhine, one of the presiding judges of the jury and the operational commander of this operation, holding a silver-covered holy book, turning a page outlined a map by light, and the positions of the people turned into a small dot on the map and moving quickly in the direction of a red cross.

At the end of the team were twenty or thirty soldiers of the Operations Department wearing black combat uniforms, long trench coats blocked the dust from the outside, different from the solemnity of the dark cavalry and the sacredness of the judge, the black-clothed soldiers seriously faintly revealed the light of excitement, like a crow that saw the corpse, resisted the desire to pounce on it for a full meal, and a thick bloody atmosphere gradually spread.

However, as an executive officer, Austin did not stay with his soldiers, but was at the front of the line, whispering to the Dark Rider Captain.

"I really didn't expect to be able to act with Mr. Austin again this time. Presumably, Mr. Austin's promotion to baron should be coming down soon, right?" said Morogi excitedly.

"Not yet...... Some things are a bit of a hassle to review, but Master von Lantlin has confidence in me. Austin smiled bitterly, I don't know why, with his heart, he has never been able to have the slightest ill feeling for Morogie.

Moroji nodded, and suddenly thought that nodding on the back of a bumpy horse had no effect, and said again: "Indeed, the identity of the secret agent will be somewhat hindered on the road to knighthood, and the old antiques of the heraldic bureau always feel that it is detrimental to the image, but you have made great contributions to the Holy See, and the contribution you have made to the Holy See is obvious, and that group of people will drag it out, so you shouldn't dare not do it, right?"

Austin glared at him and said, "Isn't it just that I kill too many people, and those old fellows are afraid of me even though they don't like me......?

Moroji's face twitched, and he couldn't see his expression through the dust mask. The Operations Department is really a place to offend people.

"By the way, I heard that you have recently awakened your natural ability? Congratulations!" After a while, Moroji couldn't help but speak again.

Austin nodded, "Yes, but I don't know how that ability should be classified...... There is both the manipulation of the ice attribute and the annihilation energy, probably some kind of mutation, and Lord Von Lantrin is also quite puzzled. ”

Just as the two were chatting with each other, the team quickly approached their destination.

Greenland Town,

An extremely inconspicuous settlement in the Apocalypse City Defense Zone, in general, far away from the army, lacking water sources, and surrounded by three large coyote groups, a place that was almost wiped off the map of the defense area, is now once again in the sight of the big guys.

Six hundred meters west of Greenland, two black-armored cavalrymen held binoculars and surveyed the situation in the town. Looking at the time on their dust-proof watches, the two pulled the reins and quickly left, and after a while, the two reappeared on the south side of the town, observing and recording the situation in the town as usual.

After another half an hour, the two returned to the place where the team was stationed, and saw Rhine and the inquisitors sitting in a sheltered place, bowing their heads and chanting, while the soldiers of the Dark Cavalry and the Operations Department were sitting together, mostly silently wiping the sand on the guns and pressing the bullets into the chambers.

More strikingly, there are ten people in the dark rider with exceptionally muscular arms, and the latest mechanical composite gun is being wiped, the two-meter-long body of the gun emits a metallic black light, and the huge bullet resembles a small cannonball, which is as terrifying as a small cannonball.

On the other side, in addition to sorting out the guns, the men of the Operations Department also held an alloy hand crossbow with a handle. The hand crossbow seems to be small, but it is extremely powerful, using the machine to wind, plus the alchemy carving, the power within thirty meters can even be compared with the powerful armor-piercing bullet, the key is quiet, it is one of the favorite weapons of the Ministry of Operations, known as the "crow flying feather blade." ”

The two horsemen found Moroji, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Lord Chillser, we have already done a good job of exploring the west and south, but there is an altar they built in the north, and the east is the place where they raise horses and beasts and store grain, and the guards patrol the area is very wide, and they dare not approach. No water source was found, as is customary and should be in the center of town. ”

Moroji nodded and asked, "What about the staffing?"

"There are about thirty people with standard barbarian characteristics, and the general ability level is not too high, but the person in charge of the other party is a white-clothed shaman of the sixth order, and in addition, the residents here seem to have been assimilated. ”

"Lord Lightlock, Lord Desolate, can you please come over for a moment? ”

In the operation, he is only called by the code name, Austin's title is the code name, and the code name of the Priest Rhein is "Light Lock", in addition to the blessing ability and light element control ability of the ordinary Holy Light Priest, after advancing to the sixth order, his spiritual binding and light element binding ability are unique.

"We will do what I have to do, kill the shaman and provide shelter to the valiant warriors. I won't be involved in formulating the action plan, I don't know much about it, so I won't cause trouble for the two of you. Rhine closed the silver canon and walked over, took off his hood, revealing a face that was still a little immature, but the voice sounded good but full of vicissitudes, like a plant in the wilderness, rough and straight.

It has been nearly fifteen years since Rhine developed the sixth-order ability, because he had damaged his body in battle in his early years, so he could only withstand the highest sixth-order ability, but this did not prevent him from becoming one of the best masters in the sixth order of the Holy See.

Moroji nodded, satisfied with Rhine's reaction. As a combatant, the most annoying thing is not that those priests who don't know how to fight do their own thing, but that they point fingers. Although Rhine has a very uncomfortable arrogance, he is undoubtedly competent on the battlefield.

"Lord Wild Wolf?" Moroji asked.

Austin walked over and said, "According to the old rules of cooperation, we will sweep the tail, and your Excellency Rhine, please lead your priest to pray for us." In addition, that sixth-order white-clothed shaman must be stopped, otherwise it will cause huge losses. ”

Moroji nodded, although Austin had never commanded this kind of battle, he was not a small part, and he had already memorized such a way of attacking. Rhine kept a holy smile and whispered, "All unforgivable sins will surely be consumed by the flame." ”
