"It's really lucky, the fortress just happened to urgently order a batch of goods from the central workshop. Estelle said happily.

"Looks like the goddess wants Dr. Russell to come back safely, ahaha. Gerstaff laughed and said, "This is the container for you to hide." It may be a little crowded, so bear with it a little. ”

"Wouldn't it? This container looks huge. Istelle said confusedly.

"Don't rejoice too soon. Gustav waved his hand and said, "Because of the disguise, there is not even half of the place that is really empty." ”

"That's pretty small. Estelle said disappointedly.

"Now is not the time to be sophisticated. Reilly smiled and said, "Let's just do it." ”

Half an hour later, the airship landed at Reston Fortress.

"Yo, Major Sid. Gerstaff smiled and said, "Your order has arrived." ”

"Ah, Mr. Guststaff, I'm sorry to ask you to make a special trip. Sid smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to send things over so quickly." ”

"Customers, of course, the quality of service should be better. Then again, you're really in a hurry this time. I also urgently repaired the guard airship before, did anything happen?"

"No, there is no ...... Occasionally, there will be some accidents in the army. By the way, about the attack on the Central Workshop...... We've just gotten an important clue and we're expecting to get rid of it in the near future. ”

"Oh, that's great. Gustav smiled and said, "The kidnapped old man Russell is my benefactor, I hope he won't be hurt." ”

"Well, that's not the ...... Anyway, don't worry. ”

"Oh, do you know something?"

"The kidnappers took the doctor hostage, presumably to demand a ransom. We can already be sure that he is safe and sound, so let's wait in peace. ”

"I see. Gerstaff smiled and said, "So, will you check the container this time too?"

"Although I can trust you, the system still has to be followed. Sid turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Hurry up and start checking!"

"Understood!"

The soldiers took out their life sensors and began to inspect the containers.

"Nothing unusual, start checking the next one. ”

"OK here, too! ”

......

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded.

"The sensor has a response!" The soldier's face changed, and he said, "It's a life reaction!"

"What?!" Sid frowned and said, "Mr. Guststaff, what is this?"

"Hey, I don't know anything. Grostaff scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's a rat or something, don't be so nervous." ”

"To be on the safe side, I'd better open it and take a look. Sid exclaimed, "Surround the containers!"

The soldiers quickly formed a circle, their rifles aimed at the container.

"Okay, open the box. ”

"Meow~"

A kitten walked out gracefully, leaving everyone speechless.

"Why, it's Anthony. When did you hide in here?" said Gerstaff, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Aim~heh. ”

"W-What is this cat?"

"It's called Anthony, and it's part of the Central Workshop. Gustav laughed, "Looks like it accidentally ran onto the Lepnitz." ”

"It really scared us. Sid looked at Anthony and said, "You, you can really cause a commotion." ”

"Meow?"

"Forget it...... Sid smiled and said, "If you like it, you can just live here." ”

"Hey, Anthony is our important partner. Gustav said with a wry smile.

"Meow. Anthony shouted, and sped into the Lepnitz.

"Hmm...... Looks like I've been dumped. Sid said regretfully.

"Haha, what a pity. Gerstaff laughed and said, "Then again, this life sensor is really powerful." Without it, Anthony would be locked up here. ”

"Ah, it's a device invented by the central workshop. Sid smiled and said, "You guys, hurry up and check the rest of the containers." ”

"Understood!"

After the inspection, Gustav left Reston Fortress aboard the Lepnitz.

"Good work. Let's do the shipping of the container tomorrow, and go back to the barracks to rest today. ”

"That, that, Major. A soldier hesitated and said, "How long will the extraordinary system last these days?"

"yes, yes, why do we have to do what those guys do......"

"I can understand your feelings, but a soldier should not question the decision of his superiors. And...... The walls have ears, so be careful when you speak. ”

“...... Be. ”

"Clear, understood. ”

Looking at the departing backs of the soldiers, Sid showed a guilty expression.

"Major!" At this time, an officer walked over quickly: "Captain Kainona has an urgent matter for you, please come over immediately."

"Got it. Sid sighed and said, "No way, I'm going to listen to the she-fox again." ”

Five minutes later, Reilly said to the crowd, "Go out, I've already probed with a spell, and there's no one around." ”

"Whew~" Estelle complained as soon as she came out, "It was so crowded just now...... Tita, you don't matter, do you?"

"Well, it's okay. It's just a little dizzy...... However, the device is functioning normally, and the effort is worth it. ”

"Well, that's amazing. Although I was against you following before, ......" Agaté said with a smile, "Now it seems that it is right to take you." ”

"Hey, hey~ Thank you, Brother Agaté. Tita smiled shyly and said, "But I was really taken aback by Anthony just now." ”

"Mm-hmm, it's the container next to it. Estelle patted her chest and said, "I thought I was going to die this time." ”

"I think the cat was put in by Mr. Gerstaff on purpose. Joshua said, "When it came out, the guards of the soldiers relaxed a lot. ”

"The master is in the people. Reilly smiled and said, "Never underestimate the wisdom of the masses. ”

"So, let's get moving. Agaté took out the map and said, "The first task now is to determine the location of the Doctor." Estelle, look around the map. ”

"Huh, why did you ask me to find it?"

"Agaté and Joshua probably already have their own ideas, so of course you have to learn to use your brains. Reilly smiled and said, "If you want to be a good guerrilla, you must first have a keen sense of observation and excellent judgment. ”

"Hmm...... I guess it's the research room in the center of the fortress. Estelle thought for a moment and said.

"Oh, that's good. Agaté nodded and said, "There are two hits." ”

"Hmph, that's too easy. ”

"I'm starting to get carried away again. Reilly spread his hands and said, "Joshua, what do you think?"

"I also think there's the highest possibility. The institute is an independent building, and if you keep a doctor there, you can not only hide from people, but also carry out research work. ”

"It's pretty much what I thought. Agaté nodded and said, "Time is pressing, let's start the investigation from there first." ”

"Have you figured out the route of the retreat?" asked Reilly.

"You see, across the tarmac there is a pier that extends to Lake Valyria. Agaté pointed to the map and said, "After rescuing the old man, we will retreat from there." ”

"Let's go, then. Estelle said solemnly, "Tita, you have to follow us closely." ”

"Hmm. ”
