"I'm here to deal with a professional who deals with magicians, I'm afraid it's still a seasoned veteran. โ€

"Nightingale" walked down the hallway with an unwavering poker face, followed by a "robin" with a happy smile on his face.

With each step, the air was filled with noise and strange smells, interspersed with lewd laughter. Walking briskly past a few obviously drunk boys, shaking off the decadent and erosive crowd, the two came to the balcony.

With no binoculars or anything like that, and surrounded by bungalows of uniform height, it was impossible to see the whole thing from the second-floor balcony, but a few buses could be seen through the gaps in the greenbelt bushes and iron railingsโ€”they had been empty until fifteen minutes ago, but now they were full of murderous vehicles.

"Deliberately?"

"Eighty percent. Deliberately placed there, making a threatening battle, with the speed at which the concentration of mana decreased, the pressure continued to increase...... Enemy commanders are very good at controlling the type of rhythm. โ€

It's hard to imagine that veteran arresters would make the low-level mistake of parking their vehicles to expose their marks, and if they weren't unintentional, they were deliberately made visible in an attempt to intimidate.

"Mana disappeared little by little, and there were more and more heavily armed military police...... This noose feels really bad when it's tightened little by little, and if you're a novice rookie, you can't stand the pressure and expose yourself or simply give up on yourself. So, are we going to play the role of a stinking little ghost fooling around?"

โ€œ...... I'm afraid not, the other party's preparation is unexpectedly thorough. โ€

"You mean ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, what was used to block Mana was a technique called the 'Spinning Wheel', which, as the name suggests, was to monopolize Mana by concentrating the neutral Mana within the area's area of influence around the core of the technique with the 'fixed' form attached. It is a spell that can only be performed by a magician of at least six levels. You should understand what that means. โ€

The Empire does not need magicians, and there are no magicians in the service of the Empire, and there is only one existence in the Empire that can perform high-level magic.

"The 'sirens' are all in place, and they really look up to us. โ€

"If the 'sirens' enter the scene for investigation, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be exposed, what should I do?"

Heavy conclusions and difficult problems lay ahead, and "Robin" also put away his cynical smile.

The "Nightingale" has an emergency Tianjing hidden in her hand, so there is still a way to cast a spell, but this is equivalent to immediately informing her identity and location, and with the amount of Mana stored in the Tianjing, it supports the release of a few small and medium-sized techniques at most, which is okay to deal with a certain number of ordinary soldiers, but it doesn't make much sense if the opponent has a large number of people, not to mention that there are "sirens" here.

Because the impact is quite large, so the "spinning wheel" is a special operation that has quite high requirements for the caster, speaking of which can only be used at the six-mang-level, in fact, the six-mang-level can only be activated, if you want to make the operation stable, and add a fixed type to let it maintain the effect on its own, at least seven-wing level. To be able to operate and use proficiently, at least seven-wing upper or quasi-octagonal level. Looking at the world, there are very few magicians of this level, and each of them is a national treasure. However, the empire was able to make the "sirens" reproduce such high-level magic through technical means...... Although the details are not yet clear, "Nightingale" has already positioned the "Siren" as a quasi-Octagon level magician in his mind, considering the opponent's pair magician characteristics, his strength should be in the middle of the Octagon level.

Even after receiving direct magical instruction from "that one", "Nightingale" asked himself against such an opponent, and the chances of winning were still slim. Not to mention that it was not easy to get in, and once exposed, no matter what the final result is, all the previous preparations will be in vain.

"Striking the West?"

"Mockingbird" glanced at a few houses in the distance, and there were even fairy stick fireworks playing inside, at which point a little explosion was enough to cover their retreat, and it would not be surprising afterwards.

"From just now, there has been a faint reaction from the heavenly crystal, I am afraid that a reconnaissance MDS or 'legion' reconnaissance plane has been arranged. The activities of people on the ground cannot avoid the detection of the eye of the air, and it is easy to lock on the suspect by checking the number of people and the list after the fact. โ€

"Nightingale" shook her head in opposition and put forward her proposal.

"Deliberately stirring up trouble, messing up the scene, and making it difficult to investigate?"

"No, there are cameras in the room, and the appearance of the person who started the incident will be recorded immediately, and the investigation will focus on us later. โ€

"Mockingbird" is not a big grade, but she is an old man who has been in contact with and even clashed with various powerful departments of the empire many times, she knows very well the thinking pattern of these guys, once those paranoid people get tangled up in the details, even if they dispatch all the warships of the imperial navy, they can't pull them out of the horns. Little tricks like fighting and defocusing the investigation simply won't fool the fanatical seekers of detail.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll go straight to their boss, and if I'm lucky, maybe both of them can escape without a hitch. โ€

"Don't do anything stupid. As you said, those chain dogs have very smart noses. They wouldn't be unaware of the possibility of someone deliberately being exposed to cover other lurkers. The result of reckless behavior is likely to be that neither of them can leave. Even if they get out of the way, they will still find clues after checking the list, and the result will be the same. โ€

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work...... Oh, this job is really not done by people. โ€

"It's too late to complain. At present, the most important task is to disguise oneself and observe the other side's troop allocation, weaponry, command system operation, and other information by the way, and then act at the opportune opportunity. โ€

"If you run into a 'siren', I'll take action, you just have to take care of yourself. โ€

"Don't say stupid things. โ€

"I mean really. You are the trump card of this battle, and it is the task of the entire Lรผdes branch to ensure that you enter the venue to disarm the bomb, and for this reason everyone has long been aware of being outcasts. Today it may be me, tomorrow it may be someone else, the order of sacrifice has long been decided. As long as the battle is successful, we will have no regrets. โ€

The calloused hand reached out to the sky, and the outstretched hand clenched as hard as if it were about to grasp the invisible cage that enveloped his head and bound the whole world. Gazing at the vast blue sky overhead, after a moment, the "robin" smiled and leaned into the ear of the "nightingale" and said:

"It's not certain how things will evolve next. It could be thrilling or bad. Either way, I hope you live well...... And-"

The tone was still cynical and a little ridiculous, and the content of the speech did not go beyond the scope of jokes.

And yetโ€”

"Can you not forget us. โ€

It was a phrase that the "Nightingale" had heard from many people on the battlefield, and it was a word that only those who survived could understand after experiencing that hell, facing life and death countless times and the madness that even death would be distorted.

- Even in the fleeting moments after the death of the war, can we not forget those of us who were once alive.

"Nightingale" did not answer.

Just nodded.
