Mahe, who was hiding in the corner, also witnessed the pillar of fire rising into the air, and with his rich experience, he immediately recognized it as a transformation technique called "Flame Pillar", which was also the most representative attack magic. The fireworks-like blow indicated that a specialized combat mage was lurking nearby, using this form to provoke Mach and the surrounding Secret Service personnel on standby.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Stay on standby, the other side is waiting for us to mess up. ”

"Butβ€”"

"If he wants to do something, let him do it, if he wants to set fire, let the fire burn, and the encirclement network must not be loosened a little. Since he can't hold his breath anymore, then we will patiently watch him put on a show and push him into a corner little by little. ”

Mach, who is accustomed to dealing with terrorists from all walks of life, knows very well that in this cat-and-mouse game, the side that can't hold its breath first will definitely lose. Either the rat can't hold his breath and becomes the cat's mouth, or the cat can't hold his breath and acts rashly before the mouse enters the prey and scares away his dinner; regardless of the intuitive comparison of strength and weakness or the elusive factor of luck and so on, victory must belong to the side that can survive the last five minutes.

The "pillar of flames" just now was not so much an unexpected blow as it was a foolish act of informing the enemy that "there is someone you are looking for", which just proved that the psychological pressure exerted on the other party had worked, and the other party was like a trapped beast in a cage, full of gambling thoughts of "I can't escape anyway, so it's better to let go and fight". As long as you keep the pressure on and make the other party think that you have no way out, the tight strings will break sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time before you take the initiative to jump out.

However, Epenny did not stop talking, but sent unexpected information.

"However, the waveform this time is very strange, and it is different from the waveform registered in the previous register. It bears a nearly ninety percent resemblance to the transient resonant wave that was considered a misjudgment seven minutes ago. ”

"Are there any reactions from the other magicians around?"

"Nope. ”

"Very well, continue to monitor and report as soon as there is a new situation. ”

Rubbing his chin away from the wireless headphones, Mach pondered the situation that had become blurred by the unexpected.

An unlogged mage, that is, is either a newly bred cannon fodder rookie or another mage who has just entered the lurking of LΓΌdes. Either way, it's not the person they're looking for anyway.

The question is what to do next? Because this guy who suddenly stuck a lever in the net closed the net early? But in this way, it will create an opportunity for the main target who does not know whether there is lurking here, and it is tantamount to falling into the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain. So to let this fool who is keen on fireworks go on like this, drain the morale of the troops, and slap the face of the empire?

On the face of it, this is really unreasonable, but ......

According to the special authority given to Maher, if necessary, he could "disinfect" entire neighborhoods with serious suspicions without consulting his superiors. The "Flame Pillar" just now is equivalent to confirming the major suspicion in this area, as long as Mach gives an order, everyone here will become "victims of the accident", and no one can escape.

The empire is not a face-saving country, as long as it can make achievements, everything is not a problem.

Speaking in terms of actual results, this is the terrible thing about empires.

Of course, that's a last resort, and it won't be done until it's a last resort.

- Please be sure to grasp the time, don't squander the rest of your life, and involve others, magicians you have never met.

With a sneer, Mach lit the cigarette in his mouth.

"The other party is a veteran, and he will definitely not fall for this kind of pediatric tactics. They are well aware that just because only one person uses magic does not necessarily mean that the other person is acting alone. Rather than recklessly dancing to the rhythm of the other party, it is the right choice to do nothing and wait and see. ”

"But he's not going to let things go on like this, there are all sorts of organizations lurking in the city, and there are magicians among them, and sooner or later they'll notice what's going on here. At that point, things are really out of control. ”

"Nightingale" shook her head, it may be a long-term latent relationship in the city, "Mockingbird" They met all police agencies that "know how to measure", but she knows very well that the so-called "proportion" is based on the premise that it will not affect the development of the situation, as long as it is confirmed that it may affect the overall situation, they will not hesitate to abandon obstacles such as "face" and "proportion". At this time, the empire was really capable of doing anything.

Whether it is the slaughter of a village or the "accident" of an entire community, it is a very common thing for the Empire.

"When an ordinary commander encounters such a situation, for the sake of the face of the country and the organization, and for the sake of his own personal future, he will definitely give priority to thinking about how to save the situation. Unlike veterans who specialize in mage-hunting, they are given the privilege of ordering the 'sanitization' of the area they are in if the situation gets tricky, without being held accountable afterwards. ”

The so-called "disinfection" is actually just a change of name for the sweeping war. Treat all people, buildings, and objects in the combat area as harmful bacteria, and completely eliminate them, so that these bacteria do not have any chance to infect the healthy territory of the empire - this is the outline of "disinfection".

"Including in a big city like LΓΌders, the target is still a member of the Youth League?"

The "robin" couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, to do such a thing in a place where there is only a wall away from foreign powers? Even if you go crazy, there should be a limit.

"It's stupid, international opinion ......"

"Public opinion is just public opinion, and in the face of the Empire's powerful military power, how many countries and citizens are really willing to fight the Empire for strangers thousands of miles away, and even bear the risk of a war with the Empire? ”

β€œ......”

"Mockingbird" was speechless, and any rebuttal was too pale at the moment.

The Empire is not only the Defense, but also all kinds of violence and administrative institutions to keep the country alive and functioning, but most importantly, the Empire also has the Emperor.

As individuals, no matter how strong the strength of human beings is, there is a limit, even those who are respected as "supermen" and "monsters", they still cannot confront the state apparatus and even the whole world, and in the end they will be ruthlessly crushed.

Can the object be changed to the emperor's words...... Regardless of human beings, no, even if the whole world works together, it will be run over by the emperor in the end.

Like a monster movie shown in a movie theater, the hundred-meter-tall giant monster completely ignores the armies and buildings in front of it, slowly ravaging everything while continuing to advance.

This is not an exaggeration, in fact the emperor is even more terrifying.

Therefore, if the emperor said that "everything is just a regrettable and sad accident", who would dare to jump out and refute it? Just as if the emperor had not given an order, not only the entire people of the empire, but also the big people abroad, would not dare to get up from the toilet unless the emperor told them that it was time to wipe their buttocks. The two are actually the same truth.

"So our goal is not to break the encirclement, nor to make a noise, but to try to create a situation where the chain dogs outside can't shoot at will, and even have to leave with their tails between their legs. ”

The roar sounded again, and the pillar of fire outside the window that shot straight into the sky illuminated the girl's resolute face.
