"I didn't expect it to be you..."

When Tress, who looked puzzled, came to Ian's laboratory building and saw the goblins who assigned his team to escort the mission, he was not surprised: "I'll just say who has so much energy to stop us who were supposed to set off as guards." "Acquaintances are easy to do, don't mind."

Ian carried a box, and he put on the hollow armor, marked with the coat of arms of the Knights of the Patrol, and said in a built-in voice, "If you feel dissatisfied, I won't apologize." ”

After registering his name at the headquarters, Ian made a small modification to his Hollow Armor, which was to equip the Hollow Armor with an internal communication module for the Patrol Knights' standard armor.

With this special communication module, he has access to the Patrol Knights' private communication channel, which is convenient for communication.

As a sublimation armor, the performance of the Hollow Wrapping Armor is naturally better than that of the standard armor, and this set of modules can be disassembled at any time, so Ian does not feel troublesome. "Of course I don't mind."

Shrugging his shoulders, Tress smiled rather pleasantly: "It's all for the Empire, the reconnaissance mission and the escort observation team are equally important." ”

This knight, who has been an undercover agent for too many years, really can't get back the habit of these years, and speaks in a very marketable style: "What's more, I guess I can guess that I have more credit for following you, and you must have a serious reason to want to find me, an acquaintance who will be more compatible with you." ”

"Escort Observation Team, less fighting, more credit, and big people appreciate, what's not good." Saying this, he shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, since you are willing to earn credit together, then I will definitely cooperate with you, and when the time comes, what do you say, just don't let me and my young man die." ”

One by one, that's not necessarily. Our Highness Mikael doesn't look like he's going to be a guy who wants to just look around, he's going to make something dangerous.

Ian thought so, but he did

I won't let those who believe in me die.

To the best of his ability.

"What's going on now?"

Ian and Tress discuss what they know on a military map, and he looks at the Awak region to ask, while Tres draws a circle with his hand in an area to the northwest above the Bad Rift Valley, south of the West: "This is it." A huge circle centered on the Viscount of Avak. ”

"Ordinary people within the circle will experience nausea, dizziness. Gastrointestinal upset and hazy eyes. This is the result of nerve currents being affected by psionic fields. ”

"At the same time, a large number of biochemical beasts have appeared in this area, most of them are modified bodies, they don't have a long lifespan, but they are extremely violent, they are the rotten fungus enhancers that appeared in the Western Realm and Nanling some time ago, and the enhancers of this fungus can even control corpses."

"It's hard to imagine, right? The Flying Flame Land actually used biological alchemy to create psionic corpses, which is the same effect as the undead in the story! ”

When he said this, Tress spoke in a relaxed tone, but his expression was quite serious, he was only joking to ease the atmosphere, but he was well aware of the seriousness of the situation: "But this is not the end ... The closer you get to the center of the Avak region, the more likely you are to encounter an extremely strange psionic form. ”

"We call it a phantom. Most of these apparitions are ordinary people, and of course, they are not human, but a ghost-like being. ”

"They will attack all life within their sense range without fear of death."

"But the more inward they are, the more powerful these psionic phantoms become, and there are even some controlled humans mixed in with them, and some of them are still special operators of the Flying Flame Land."

"There was even a team that was unlucky and encountered a Burst Owl Phantom at the peak of the second energy level, and before it could react, it was beaten and collapsed by the opponent's suicide attack, and only the captain survived."

At this time, Tress shook his head slightly: "This is our original task. Gradually move closer to the inner side of the Awak region to figure out the source of the anomaly. ”

Speaking of this, the knight frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "Up to now, Grand Duke Thorin is still refusing the official assistance of the Empire, so we can't make a large-scale frontal dispatch in this operation, we can only use flying machines to go to the adjacent area and approach from the ground." ”

"It's very dangerous, but if you get something, you can definitely get military merit."

Ian nodded slightly, he probably knew how Tress and their team would have died if he hadn't been for him, as he said, they were hit by a crazy psionic phantom and almost wiped out, and Tress himself was lucky, maybe he would survive. As for the reason why Tress wants military merit so much, he actually knows it.

As a patrol knight, Tress already has a second energy level, and as long as his merits are enough, he can choose to retire at the peak of the second energy level and become a noble lord in a remote area.

In fact, most of the aristocratic factions that support the Patrol Knights came from this, and some of the military nobles in the southeast and east of the empire are related to the Patrol Knights, and most of the fortress nobles around the Fog Yarn Harbor are also Patrol Knights, although most of them are only nobles like Baron and Viscount, but the cornerstone of the empire is also the group composed of these basic nobles. This was a policy implemented by Inaga II back then, and Axel changed it and is still in use today. And at that time, Tress will also completely change the fate of himself and his family.

The question is, why is Tress so urgent?

Ian didn't know this, but he didn't intend to ask, just pondered for a while, and said slowly: "My task is to observe the changes in the psionic field around the Avak region with these elf masters, and analyze the cause of the anomaly. ”

"It's a mission to face apparitions, and if we can, we'll have to capture one."

"It doesn't matter how strong or weak it is?"

Tress asked, "Do you need a specific kind?" "It's better to be stronger, but it doesn't matter. The same is true for the variety, it would be better to have a few more, and it would be okay if there were none. ”

Ian nodded slightly: "After all, it is an analysis of the cause, no matter how strong or weak, the principle should be the same." Rest assured, I'm not going to take the risk you need to deal with. ”

One by one, there is a foresight and a silver chip anyway. At a critical moment, it's not the time to do your own research, so let's just hang up.

"Then we'll be at your command." Tress didn't suspect Ian: "I'm going to call the aircraft. "That's it, it's a pleasure to work together."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Ian also knew the current situation through the mouth of Tress again.

The empire and the Grand Duke of Thorin are now torn apart, and the anomaly in the Avak region involves the survival of millions of people, and even the Grand Duke of the Western Realm, which existed at the beginning of the founding of the country, cannot afford not to pay the price after creating such a tragedy.

Ian received information from Isengard's sources that the Imperial Court of Nobles had taken action, and if evidence was obtained in the Avak region, the Empire would deprive Archduke Thorin of his title.

In the past, this would have been almost impossible, as all nobles would have objected to the dispossession of the title of a nobleman so noble that he had been in existence for as long as the empire.

But in the face of million-level deaths (doubtful), no nobleman would dare to contradict this decision, unless they also wanted to be solved by the imperial capital.

"No wonder such a big battle, it turns out that I finally found a reason to cut the domain."

Ian didn't think it was strange, after all, he had already guessed that the Grand Duke of Thorin was going to commit treason, and the emperor would do it

Naturally, the rationality of the opponent's rule will be destroyed before the opponent betrays the country.

In this way, there would not have been a situation in which the entire northern Grand Dukes were united after the independence of Junlingbao.

As long as the public is informed of the Avak tragedy caused by Grand Duke Thorin later, there will not be much trouble when the Grand Duke's domain is recovered.

After determining the appropriate information and making all the preparations, Ian and Tress arrived at the flight platform at the entrance to the Imperial Capital's Midtown.

There, a flying machine with a rather inconsistent but unexpected style of painting that is quite inconsistent with this world is waiting for them.

That's a disc.

A UFO'.
