“…… We have warned the relevant personnel to stop any form of support for the 'Privy Blade', but after the coup d'état, the position of the Scribes has plummeted, and the orders of the Scribes within the cavalry are completely disobedient, in this case, we really have no way to take measures to deal with this series of things, but if the 'Privy Blade' is declared illegal, it will severely hurt the feelings of the Order, and the cavalry will lose its popular base......"

- Privy Cavalry, new Chief Scribe Edwin. Reagan, to Privy Council President Isaac. Rasmussen's Secret Letters

****

Ling Yu stood on the periphery of the black gold base, looking at the base burning in napalm, pulling up his scarf and covering his face.

The air strikes were carried out four times, the first with bunker-destroying bombs, which were detonated directly into the ground, then with a thermal aluminum incendiary to prevent the possible spread of the virus, the third with the use of vacuum implosion bombs, and finally napalm to supplement the attack.

After such devastation and baptism, coupled with the final patch of the self-detonation facility, the entire base has been almost completely destroyed.

"Ling Yu ......"

Vivian sat on a pile of stones next to her, the radiation index in this vicinity was not high, and it was completely ignorable for TF, the girl looked at Ling Yu's back exuding unwillingness and anger and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, if I had been one step faster, I could have stopped him."

Vivien lowered her head and clasped her hands together as if she had made a mistake, whispering to comfort Ling Yu.

"It's okay, I should have thought he was staying there...... There must be a way to escape. There was no emotion in Ling Yu's voice, but Vivien could even feel the forcibly suppressed anger emanating from this man's body.

"Arya, haven't you figured out who led this air raid?!"

Ling Yu turned around and ripped off the tocks that had been caused by radiation interference. The headset that distracted him, stepped on it, turned around and yelled at the car.

"At the moment, the League and Kronos have been ruled out, and the possibility of the ACA is not very likely, only the possibility of the cavalry, the captain."

Arya is already being affected by the blast. However, the storage disk of the monitor, which was still in good condition, was removed, and the lead casing showed some minor damage, making most of the images of the monitors previously deployed in the surrounding area unreadable, but Arya managed to find some blurry pictures of the plane's dive attack.

"Damn the cavalry team is here to join in the fun!"

Ling Yu flew up and kicked a stone away in anger, then turned his head and looked at Arya, wanting to say something, but he didn't speak.

". I forgot that it was Helis and Ethan who were in charge of liaising with the cavalry, not you. ”

Ling Yu gritted his teeth, sighed, and then wiped a handful on his left ear, only to remember that his communicator had been trampled on by himself.

"Calm down, Ling Yu."

Payne stepped forward and put on her gray trench coat again, and Vivien took off the communicator from her ear. Throw a backhand to Ling Yu.

According to the plan, Payne was responsible for breaking into the host room. Ling Yu was not worried about Xia Fengyan, and even asked Payne to prepare to kill Xia Fengyan in advance, but Payne and Xia Fengyan had just arrived in the computer room, and before they could even download any information, the air raid came.

Subsequently, Payne and Xia Fengyan almost coincidentally fled separately in the direction they came from. Payne took the main road and escaped smoothly, but Xia Fengyan's whereabouts were unknown.

"I want to be calm too, I want to be calm too! But the fuck is one step away! That's just one step away! ”

Ling Yu shouted angrily, even pinching a small crack in the communicator that Vivien had thrown at him.

Eventually, though, he calmed down. The young man took a deep breath and hung the headset on his ear, "I hope there is good news." ”

"I'm Ling Yu, Xia Fengyan, can you hear me, are you still alive?"

Although he didn't have any hope for Xia Fengyan's professional ethics as a mercenary, but now that Payne was sure that he hadn't gotten any valuable information, Xia Fengyan was the only clue, and he only hoped that Xia Fengyan would be lucky enough to get the key information, and then escape along the way, so that as long as the other party made an offer, the information about the virus was bound to be obtained.

As long as this thing is stored, Ling Yu is not afraid that he will not be able to get it, Ling Yu clenched his fists again, and the murderous aura in his eyes made the sensitive Vivian feel it.

"I'm Ling Yu, Xia Fengyan, can you hear me, are you still alive?"

"Xia Fengyan, are you dead?!"

Ling Yu's last sentence was almost shouted, he took off his headphones, raised his hand and was about to fall to the ground, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Vivien's tightly knit brow, and his hand froze in mid-air.

"Almost, it's good that Miss Ben has a big life."

Just when Ling Yu was stunned, a voice suddenly came from behind, Ling Yu turned around, and Xia Fengyan walked out from behind the ruins in a wolf body, raising his hands to show that he was not hostile.

"It's good you didn't run away with anything." Ling Yu took a deep breath and threw the headphones back to Vivian with his backhand, and Arya and Vivian, who were hiding behind the screen, looked at each other and gave each other a helpless wry smile.

"Otherwise you'll regret being born in this world." Ling Yu shook his head and looked at Xia Fengyan who was walking towards him.

"You're scaring me, big hero." Xia Fengyan spread out his hands and shook his head, smiling helplessly, "But why should I run, I didn't get anything, and I want to find you to hitchhike back." ”

"Didn't get anything?"

Ling Yu's brows were tightly knit, although he was mentally prepared, his heart still sank.

"I met the commandos in charge of destroying the engine room, and it took a lot of effort to stop them from destroying the machine room, so I arrived at about the same time as Payne." Xia Fengyan crossed his hands on his hips, turned to look at the burning ruins behind him, and wiped the cigarette ash from his face, "But it seems that I am busy in vain." ”

"Damn it." Ling Yu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, he felt a nameless anger burning in his chest, but it was not easy to vent in front of Vivian.

"Still, I do know who did it." Xia Fengyan raised his hand and combed his messy hair, "Little girl over there, don't look for it." You can't find it. ”

"Tell me, it's not over."

Ling Yu's cold gaze looked at Xia Fengyan.

"Let's go back first, the radiation here is giving me a headache." Xia Fengyan crossed his waist with one hand and shook his other hand, "Don't worry, if I don't want to talk about it, I won't tell you that you have this stubble." ”

"Let's go."

Ling Yu closed his eyes. Pulling up his scarf to cover his face, he turned and walked towards the SUV.

"He's a little bit different from what I thought he would."

Xia Fengyan looked at Ling Yu's back and spoke in a low voice.

"Although I agree with what you said, but ......" Vivien stood up from the stone, patted Lolita's skirt, and then glared at Xia Fengyan, "But if you say bad things about him again, I'll pull your tongue out." ”

"You two are a good match." Xia Fengyan shook his head helplessly and followed the others.

"This organization is called. ' The 'Privy Blade', in simple terms, is a civil society with an official background, similar to Kronos or GK Security, except that they are not in business, but are religious radical organizations. ”

Ling Yu, who returned empty-handed, sat in the assistant's seat, watching Xia Fengyan, who was sitting in the middle of the back row, leaning into the front row and placing the electronic board in his hand in front of Ling Yu. This was originally Vivian's position, but after all, Xia Fengyan was talking about business. So the little golden girl could only pout in anger and fall asleep in the corner of the back row.

"The 'Privy Blade' is an organization formed by the Privy Hermitage after the attack on Iceland two years ago, of course, it is naturally impossible for an unarmed religious group to spontaneously form such a militant organization with special combat capabilities, and we preliminarily judge that the 'Hundred-Eyed Giant' has provided them with weapons and equipment, funds, political support and training personnel."

"Is the 'Hundred-Eyed Giant' behind them?"

Ling Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. The 'Hundred-Eyed Giant' is the newly formed intelligence and espionage organization of the Cavalry, the department where Ethan serves.

"But no, this organization was formed semi-spontaneously, and they relied on the Privy Council. In the vast majority of cases, operations are carried out without the authority or permission of the Cavalry, who have a great deal of authority to carry out sabotage against ACA military or civilian targets, except that they cannot attack civilian targets and allied military units. ”

"Terrorists to terrorists?" Payne, who was driving, interjected with a frown, but didn't say much, just held the steering wheel tightly.

"There have been 13 documented attacks on civilians and infrastructure linked to the Privy Blade in the last two years, but I don't think that's what we're focusing on." Xia Fengyan's fingers slid on the electronic board, "Objectively speaking, compared to the loose hermitage, the 'Privy Blade' that has been lurking behind enemy lines and combat training can be more helpful to the Combined Forces, and now many Combine Army commanders like to use the military information provided by the Privy Blade, many of which have high reference value, and in return, these front-line commanders will also provide some necessary firepower or material assistance at the request of the Privy Blade, this time this is probably the case." ”

Xia Fengyan showed a picture in front of Ling Yu, and the combined army naturally referred to the cavalry team and the alliance's joint combat forces.

"I don't think the Privy Hermitage can 'spontaneously' ionize stealth bombers." Ling Yu smiled coldly, "This kind of thing is an ionized stealth bomber, which is a strategic weapon in the form of a surgical scalpel, and even ordinary front-line commanders have no right to mobilize it, so this matter will not be so simple." ”

"Then it looks like we're being followed."

Arya, who was sitting in the back row and had been sorting out the action report, suddenly interjected, Ling Yu and Xia Fengyan both looked back at the girl with short silver gray hair, she had already removed the H strap used to hang the pistol and magazine, exuding a realistic civilian officer atmosphere, as if it was another person who had just gone on a killing spree.

"Think about it, this kind of unsparing attack is obviously an attack method that wants to destroy the entire base 100%, so if they knew the location of the base, they would have attacked it a long time ago, why did they choose it today?"

"Because today we lead the way." Ling Yu sighed deeply, his words revealed an indescribable loss, he reached out and rubbed his temples, "It's my fault, I don't blame anyone, we are acting too flamboyant in Tehran, and it is normal to be caught." ”

"It's not a mistake, we have to do it." Arya was silent for a moment and spoke, "After all, we don't have time to slowly sneak into the investigation, and we must get the information as soon as possible." ”

"That's right, I think with the ability of the privy blade, I will definitely be able to understand your savings, and I also know what you want to do, and they are clearly here to smash the field."

Xia Fengyan put away the electronic board with his backhand, "Even if you don't go to find trouble, I'll go." ”

"It seems of great value to Muhammad to incite me to conflict with the Privy Blade." Ling Yu smiled coldly and pierced Xia Fengyan's small abacus, "I don't work for nothing. ”

"Don't be so close, Muhammad and I are only in a business relationship." Xia Feng, who was pierced with careful thoughts, did not change his face, "I just said what you thought in your heart." ”

"But you haven't given me a price that satisfies me." Ling Yu shook his head, "I have some friendship with the Privy Council, so I don't have to do it myself. ”

"Do you believe what you say? Big hero? Xia Fengyan smiled coldly, "Forget it, you can talk to Muhammad yourself, he has what you need." ”

After speaking, Xia Fengyan took off his headset and handed it to Ling Yu. (To be continued......)
