Section 27 Chasing the Wind
Fifteen hours after the iron slag was on the sky train......
At 3 o'clock in the morning of Dr3713-02-1, Yincheng time, in the command tower chasing the apron at the Central Yincheng Military Academy, four expeditionary force knights wearing white holy light power armor were gathered in front of a metal platform, looking at the three-dimensional route map suspended on the platform.
"You see, this is the flight path of Flight G61011......" One of the Templars pointed to a red dot of light and drew a dark blue dotted line on the three-dimensional route map. A few minutes ago, the headquarters of the Third Army of the Dawn Expeditionary Force sent the latest information, according to the video data transmitted from the surveillance camera on the tarmac of Liusha Town, the target of their assassination - Sa Chiao, is likely to have boarded the G61011th flight and is flying here.
"I want to ...... We should intercept him here. Another Templar gestured and lit up a green spot of light three hundred kilometers east of the Eternal City. This is the fourth station of the "Sky Train" from the Central Continent to the Western Continent, the last station on the Chaser's tarmac.
"That's right, it's easy to attract attention here, so it's better to go outside the city." The third Templar chimed in. After all, this is the territory of the Central Silver City Military Academy, and Dean Ernest is a typical academic school, only respecting the legal code and not taking sides. In case they make a big fuss, the former will notice something unusual and will definitely go to the World Parliament to complain. At that point, if they did not produce strong evidence, Eugene Lombard, the Supreme Commander of the Third Army of the Expeditionary Force, would be rebuked by the Templar Presbyterians. At the same time, there will be protests from the ancient temple, which will cause unnecessary conflicts. Although their Dawn Expeditionary Force had never taken the Ancient Temple seriously, it was still necessary to maintain a semblance of respect and friendship, after all, the theme of the current Silver City World was "Humanity Unanimous with the Outside", not an internal contradiction. Therefore, it is better to settle this matter out there than to stay here.
"Hmm......" The Templar pondered for a moment and said, "Contact the command center of the Skytrain immediately, and say that we are searching for a wanted criminal and ask them to cooperate." ”
Moments later, the four Templars left the conning tower and boarded a "unicorn" jeep heading east. At the same time, thousands of kilometers away above the sea, a large flying machine is whizzing by......
At this time, in the VIP cabin at the front of the aircraft, Iron Slag was lying on a single aviation sofa, one hand on the armrest of the sofa, and the other hand holding an apple-shaped wine glass. Under the orange light, the pale golden liquid swayed in the glass, exuding a mellow aroma. At the side of Iron Slag stood a delicate-looking, tall and slender young woman wearing a dark purple aviation uniform. She is a full-time staff member who serves in VIP cabins, commonly known as "flight attendant" or "flight attendant", or "flight attendant" for short.
"Mr. Sati, it's three o'clock in the morning, would you like a night meal?" The young stewardess asked.
"Not for now, thank you." Iron Slag shook his glass and said without looking back.
"Is your terminal at the Central Silver City Military Academy?" "Hmm." "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, are you a student there?" "Hmm." "Wow~That's amazing~" "Hmm. "You must be a noble gentleman, I guess." "It's not." "Ah~ Then you must be a successful businessman." "It's not." "Oh~ I see, you must be a brilliant scholar."
"It's not." Iron Slag took a casual sip of wine and replied.
"Ah~ Let me think again......" The young stewardess looked up at the ceiling with a thoughtful look.
"I'm a bounty hunter." In order to avoid being entangled, Iron Slag turned his face sideways, looked at her and said.
"Bounty hunters? What for? The flight attendant asked curiously.
"Kill." Iron Slag raised his eyebrows and said.
"Ah~ You're really kidding." The stewardess said softly covering her mouth.
"I've probably killed more people than there are on this aircraft." Iron Slag said with a smirk.
"Wow~ You're amazing......" The flight attendant smiled slightly and praised sincerely. However, she slandered in her heart: "The way of picking up girls is so old-fashioned, what a stupid guy with a lot of money, shouldn't he be a local tyrant from the Far East?" Thinking of this, she subconsciously asked, "Mr. Sachio, where are you from?" ”
"Far East." Iron Slag replied expressionlessly.
"What a ......" "What?" "I didn't ...... No...... It's just curiosity......" The flight attendant explained slightly crampedly, and her heart was full of slander: "No wonder it's so earthy, it turns out that it's really a local tyrant......"
"Give me a blanket, I want to rest for a while." Iron Slag handed over the wine glass and said.
"Yes, dear Mr. Sati. The stewardess took the glass and bowed away. It didn't take long for a thin aviation blanket to be delivered for the iron slag. Iron slag covered the blanket, shrunk his body, and fell asleep on his side on the sofa.
I don't know how long it took......
Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Iron Slag frowned and woke up. Then, he glanced left and right, and saw that the aircraft had stopped flying, and from the view outside the window, it had landed on the ground. So he turned his head to the stewardess who had been waiting on the side of the sofa and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Sir, it's just a routine check-up, and we'll be able to take off again soon." The flight attendant explained.
"Check what?" Iron Slag asked seemingly casually.
"It seems that they are searching for a wanted criminal, we don't know the specifics, anyway, the captain just informed us that the person who came was a knight of the Dudawn Expeditionary Force, some big shots, and asked us to cooperate with them." The stewardess replied.
"Check it, check it, why are you so noisy, it's so noisy that people can't sleep." Iron Slag complained.
"Sorry to bother you." The flight attendant said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." With that, Iron Slag stood up, walked to the door and looked out. This is a separate VIP cabin with a round glass on the door that allows a direct view of the cabin. Looking sideways, I saw that in the cabin of Nuoda, two Templars dressed in white Holy Light Power Armor were standing on both sides of the aisle, one on the left and one on the right, checking the passengers' documents one by one.
Their chests were painted with a rusty iron cross. If you look closely, there is an Arabic numeral "3" in the middle of the cross, which is the symbol of the Third Regiment of the Dawn Expeditionary Force.
The Dawn Expeditionary Force consisted of five legions, numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The First Legion is stationed in the Abyss, the Third is stationed in the Middle Continent, the Fifth is stationed in Desert Five, and the Seventh and Ninth Legions are stationed in two uncharted planes that are not open to civilians. And the two expeditionary knights killed by Iron Slag in the dark jungle were none other than the members of the Third Legion.
Seeing this sign, Iron Slag frowned imperceptibly, walked back to the sofa quietly, and sat down. This seemingly ordinary inspection has an indescribable meaning.
According to the common sense of the Silver City World, the western continent is the territory of the "Temple Crusaders", and even if the "wanted criminals" are to be caught, it will not be the turn of the Dawn Expeditionary Force. Although they were both temple powers, they were relatively independent of each other, each with its own jurisdiction and interests. The Dawn Expeditionary Force went to the western continent to capture criminals as much as snatching food from the plates of the Templar Crusaders. The behavior of these two expeditionary force knights is really a bit abnormal......
Who are their so-called "wanted criminals"?
"Oh......" At this moment, the flight attendant said to herself, "By the way, the captain asked us just now, did we meet any passengers from the Northern Wilderness......" Since Iron Slag said that she was from the Far East and the owner of Star Stone Black/Ka, she was not wary.
However, the speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, the iron slag's pupils suddenly shrank, and multiple clues in his mind were pieced together, and a conclusion surfaced. He immediately stood up, grinned at the stewardess, and said, "Take me to the rear cabin." ”
"Huh? What's wrong? The flight attendant asked blankly.
"Take me through the inner passage to the rear cabin." Iron Slag looked at her and said slowly.
"Ah......" The stewardess gradually came back to her senses, and just wanted to open her mouth to scream, she was pulled by the iron slag, covering her mouth with one hand, pulling out the left wheel of Merlin against her chin with the other hand, and whispering in her ear: "Scream, die." ”
"Hmm...... Uh-huh...... Uh-huh......" The flight attendant suddenly lost her face and nodded desperately.
"Let's go." Iron Slag let go of the hand covering her mouth, and instead wrapped his arms around her waist and walked to the side door. There are two doors in the VIP cabin, one leading to the cabin, which is the door for guests to walk, and the other to the internal passage, which is the door for staff to walk.
It didn't take long for the iron slag to pass through a narrow passage and come to the rear cabin of the aircraft, led by the flight attendant. After finding the red comet, Iron Slag straddled/sat up, pointed a gun at the stewardess, and commanded in a deep voice: "Open the hatch." ”
"Don't ...... Don't kill me...... I don't know anything......" The young flight attendant's face was full of horror, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"I said, open the door." Iron Slag repeated. The stewardess approached the hatch tremblingly, lifted the lid on the side, and pressed the green button.
"......Snort" There was a long deflated sound, and the hatch slowly opened.
"Face the wall and close your eyes." Iron Slag ordered, and the young stewardess immediately did so.
"If I find you open your eyes, or run to inform someone else, I'll give you a bullet, understand?" Iron Slag said.
"Uh......h I...... I won't...... No...... Whining...... Don't kill me...... Please...... Don't kill me......" She closed her eyes tightly and whispered for mercy, like a shivering chick.
Taking advantage of this gap, the "......" twisted the iron slag throttle, rushed out of the cabin, and galloped out of the tarmac.
At the same time, two expeditionary force knights guarding below the aircraft were scanning the tarmac back and forth. Suddenly, a red locomotive sprang out from behind the side and headed straight for the tarmac gate.
"Stop!" The knight of the expeditionary force, who was the first to see it, immediately shouted loudly.
The "......" locomotive not only did not slow down, but spewed out a bright red flame, speeding up its advance.
"Damn, chase!" With a curse, the eyes of the two expeditionary knights erupted in a cloud of blue light at the same time, and the two jets behind them slowly rotated, overflowing with a little starlight. An invisible force was slowly climbing, and the air around it was rapidly turbulent, and waves of heat rolled and spread outward. Like transparent ripples, it instantly distorts the surrounding scenery.
"Turbulent ......" "Turbulent ......"
The blue flames erupted, and the two figures rose up in the air, drawing two dazzling arcs of light one after another, and chased in the direction of the red locomotive.
"Alice, full power." The iron slag screamed, and the rocket-type fuel thruster at the rear of the car immediately spun at high speed, frantically absorbing and compressing the air, and making a sharp sound. The high-speed swirling air flow formed a cone-shaped whirlwind that rolled backwards in cascading cascades. On a smooth road, driving on wheels, coupled with the afterburner of twelve jet bags and thrusters, the speed of the red comet will climb to the extreme, and even the power armor flying at full speed will be a point slower.
When the roar was at its loudest, the car body shook suddenly, spewing out a deep red tongue of fire!
"Boom!"
Between the lightning and flint, the red comet that was speeding rapidly against the ground suddenly accelerated, like a cannonball that had just been discharged, and in the violent sound of air explosions, it caused ripples and broke through the wind!
