Chapter 617: Sorting Out Intelligence
A reconnaissance doesn't mean Kelly will come up with a countermeasure right away, but it's better to gather information than to know nothing. While Warhammer's boasting of his escape the next day was a thrilling story, few people were willing to hear it. Erin even thinks he's just a megalomaniac, though he shamelessly thinks it's a good name for him.
Nils didn't show up in front of Kelly, and it didn't look like he was relieved of what had happened. Although Carl wants to clear up the misunderstanding, for now, neither Nils nor Kelly are in the mood to care about this matter. Freya, on the other hand, follows Carl back to her hotel on the West Coast the next day, where she still belongs to the Eagle Guild and longs to meet Erin, whom she hasn't seen in a long time.
"Long time no see, Irene. Freya stood at the door of the room and spoke to Erin, who was sitting inside waiting for Carl to return. Her appearance was sudden, and to Erin it was like how Carl felt when he saw himself in a lava cave. For some reason, she felt nostalgic. She missed the days when the war didn't break out, and it seemed too difficult to get back, but she wouldn't give up.
"Freya!" Irene greeted her in surprise, and she even wanted to jump up and hug Freya. Although he didn't know what happened when he was in the imperial capital, Carl understood that the relationship between the two was very good. Although the members of the Imperial Maiden's Court were required to wear a mask to face the nobles of the Celestial Realm most of the time, at least privately, they could take off their masks and face the people of the same status around them.
"It's great that you're okay. Freya had a good smile, something she had rarely had in her years in Arad.
"Me too, Freya. Erin kept nodding. "We almost thought you were dead, but I've always believed that missing doesn't mean dead. ”
"Those who make the list may be disappointed. Freya laughed.
Of course, both of them understood what they had to do now, so after a brief moment of expressing their emotions to each other, they knew it was time to get down to business. In addition to Warhammer's self-aggrandizement, Kelly is not usually serious in this matter. She's not kidding, and this might just be a good experience for Warhammer, an experience that allows him to wreak havoc, explode.
Kelly sorted out the intel Carl and Freya had gathered the previous night, and although Warhammer kept insisting that she had found something, Kelly largely ignored his statement. Because the guy was making noise last night on the West Coast, at least Kelly thought he had simply caused a havoc on Sanfan Street last night, and that was clearly the trigger for the conflict, though Carl cut the fuse that had already been lit in time.
"Before you quarrel again, listen to Warhammer anyway. Karl winked at Warhammer, signaling him not to be impulsive. Warhammer, apparently pleased with Karl's move, clapped his hands and gave him a round of applause. "Oh, you're such a nice fellow. ”
"I'm not sure what you've found anything interesting, but you can talk about it. Karl said.
"The things that can cause a violent explosion are those things. Warhammer gestured. "You're going to be interested. ”
"Explosives?" Freya asked.
"So to speak. Warhammer nodded.
Erin said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't sell it, Mask Bastard." ”
"Don't be so grumpy, beautiful and lively lady. Warhammer shook his index finger, and his words nearly angered Erin. If it weren't for Karl's role as an intermediary once again, I'm afraid the conflict would have been inevitable. This is Warhammer, and his tone is unlikely to make everyone fit in and like. And once the hatred spreads, conflict is almost inevitable.
"If it's explosives, did you find Callert's weapons warehouse?" said Kelly, keeping her cool.
"It's not your average arsenal, at least there are no guns in it. Warhammer said dismissively. "How's the rocket? Surprised?"
"You, what are you talking about?" said Kelly, her eyes wide in disbelief.
This was indeed shocking news for the Celestials present, as the rockets meant that Callert had deployed a warp weapon rocket turret on Sanban Street, and as a common support weapon for Caller, they had caused heavy casualties to both the Ardennes Heights garrison and the Imperial Army. The guys in the garrison even gave them a nickname - the Flame Reaper.
"But how did they get that weapon to the continent of Arad?" Freya couldn't believe the fact.
"Obviously it's going to be a nuisance for you stupid guys, but it's not. Warhammer said confidently. "And isn't it a simple problem that a clever fellow like me knows how to transport this weapon to Arad, and the rice worms of Kahlert must know how to disassemble and unload this weapon?"
"But to come to the continent of Arad you have to pass through the Sea of Skies, how did they come to Arad with parts of the rocket turret?" Erin asked, as if trying to silence Warhammer.
"I'm sure there's a good mechanic among Kahlert, right? That's not a problem for a mechanic at all, he just needs to build a device that can transport weapon parts. Warhammer said faintly. "Of course, it may be difficult for you rice worms to understand, after all, you have never dealt with truly sophisticated machines. ”
Although Warhammer's tone was infuriating, what he said was also true. Whether it's Carl or Erin, or Freya and Kelly, they're all only good at what they're good at. Unfortunately, none of the fields they are proficient in are mechanical. But even so, Erin didn't allow him to make malicious comments about others like this. "It looks like you do need to learn what politeness is. Erin clenched her fists as if she were sending a warning message to Warhammer.
"My politeness is fists. Not to be outdone, Warhammer responded.
Seeing that a new conflict was about to break out, Carl and Freya stepped forward almost simultaneously to calm both sides, after all, it was stupid and unwise to engage in infighting now. Warhammer's assertive gestures indicate that he has gathered other information, and intelligence is crucial to whether or not they can stop Callett's plan, so they can only endure Warhammer's rude words for the time being. Even though Carl and Freya are used to the guy, and Kelly doesn't get too angry because she knows each other's personalities, Erin is different. Carl is confident that Nils will not put up with Warhammer's words here, and that his reaction may even be more violent than Erin's.
"So, have you all calmed down?" Warhammer asked, as if he were innocent himself.
"Say it. Karl gestured with a raised hand.
"In addition to the rockets that can cause violent explosions, I also saw the thugs on Sanban Street building defenses that resemble bunkers. But it wasn't a general-purpose machine gun that was laid out in the bunker, it was something else. ”
"Anything else?" Freya wondered.
"I'm sorry about that. Warhammer said this, but there was no regret in his tone, on the contrary, there was a little schadenfreude.
"So it's much more important for you to gather information alone than for the three of us?" Karl shook his head with a wry smile. "You're such a nice guy. ”
Warhammer reached out and touched his chest. "As I said, I'm a lot of people's needs. ”
