[I see]
He Ao replied quickly, then dialed a phone number, picked up the brass cane on the desk, opened the door, and walked out of the office.
"Mr. Lynn?"
The phone was quickly connected, and Senna's young voice came from the phone.
"Change into casual clothes, drive a car with a high chassis, and let's go to the southern part of Ningwis District."
He Ao walked to the elevator, pressed the elevator button, and said quickly.
Tucker is still out there leading the city police to collect physical evidence pointed to in the Levi's file, and his duties in the mayor's guard are currently being taken over by Sena.
"OK."
There was a reply on the phone.
At the same time, the elevator door opened, and He Ao walked into the elevator, watching the flickering elevator screen light up with a downward arrow, leading his body down quickly.
Soon, the elevator lit up with the -1st floor sign. Immediately, the elevator door opened and He Ao walked out of the elevator.
"Mr. Lynn."
At this time, Senna was already wearing a suit and standing at the door of the elevator. A black fully enclosed off-road vehicle with the door open was standing next to him.
He looked at He Ao walking slowly from the elevator and asked quickly, "Do I need to inform the first mecha team?"
The first mecha team has been on standby in the high-rise building behind the White Jasmine Palace. Their main task is to prevent large guided missiles or war machines like dragoons from attacking the mayor's palace.
During the speech in the morning, they originally wanted to come out to protect the safety of the mayor's palace, but He Ao refused.
If a large war machine like the Seraph Mecha stood at the door of the Mayor's Mansion, the feeling of oppression would be too strong.
In areas where crowds gather, a slight mistake by these mechas could cause large-scale casualties. Once a riot breaks out, the situation may get out of control, so He Ao did not let them out.
The 'assassinations' and 'riots' in the morning were still within the range that He Ao could deal with.
"Tell them."
He Ao walked to the car door with his brass cane and said slowly, "Let's go out through the second exit and ask them not to follow us. We should stay near the mayor's palace and share our itinerary with General Covey."
"OK."
Senna nodded quickly, reached out and touched the black headphones hanging on his ears. Then he paused and suddenly found that He Ao had not gotten into the car yet, but was looking at him with a smile.
He looked down at his clothes and found that he had changed too quickly when he changed his clothes and the buttons on his suit were buttoned in the wrong place. His face turned red and he said quickly, "Sorry, Mr. Lin En, I..."
"Let's go."
But He Ao just smiled and climbed into the back of the off-road vehicle.
Senna quickly reached out, unbuttoned the button, buckled it into the correct seat, climbed into the driver's seat, powered on the vehicle, and fastened the seat belt.
Then he turned back and looked at He Ao, "Mr. Linn, do we need to bring one or two mayoral guards?"
"Need not,"
Ho held a brass cane in his hand and shook his head slightly, "The southern part of Ninvis District is General Covey's territory. He will protect us and there won't be any large-scale attackers there."
Senna hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "But it is said that it is very chaotic there, even more chaotic than the central area of Ninvis where I lived before. There is basically no tax collection there, and there are no police. There are fierce gangs and gangsters everywhere.
Wilderness Wanderer.”
"But there are also a large number of Elan citizens living there,"
He Ao looked at him with a smile, "And this is why we should go there."
Hearing these words, Senna was slightly startled. He looked up at the old man sitting in the back row, his eyes a little absent-minded.
At this time, He Ao continued to laugh slowly, "Don't worry, as long as there are not too many mechanized troops, I don't need too many people to protect me. If I bring more people, the goal will be too big and affect what we do."
At this moment, Senna came back to his senses. The gentle and kind old man in front of him suddenly overlapped with the one who was covered in blood last night.
He finally recalled that it was this old-looking 'sir' in front of him who really 'solved' those assassin teams with electromagnetic cannons and powerful supernatural beings last night.
After a brief hesitation, he nodded slightly, "Yes, Mr. Linn."
He turned around, touched the pistol in his clothes on his chest, looked at his reflection on the glass window, took a deep breath, then turned off the lights in the car and started the vehicle.
The black off-road vehicle turned around and moved along the back of the underground parking lot. Under the gradually darkening sky, it drove out from a hidden entrance behind the Mayor's Palace.
As soon as he walked out of this entrance, five huge white Seraph mechas standing between the buildings appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
"Mr. Linn, do you really not need our escort?"
At this moment, the communication of the first mecha team was connected to the off-road vehicle, and the team leader appeared on the screen.
He Ao shook his head slightly.
Hearing He Ao's words, the mecha team leader hesitated, but finally nodded slightly, "Okay, I will follow your order."
The fiery red sunset hung between the skyscrapers, and also hung on the shoulders of the towering and huge mecha.
The red light covered the clean road. These snow-white mechas turned their eyes and watched the black off-road vehicles go away along the light.

Nancheng City Defense Force Command Center
"What do these guys want to do?"
In the bright combat conference room, the middle-aged officer raised his head, looked at the huge conference room screen in front of him, and frowned slightly.
At this moment, the screen in the conference room was showing a short video shot by a drone. In the video, there were some fully armed mercenaries wearing Ivis space system costumes.
At this moment, they are clearing the trees in the surrounding wilderness, unfolding the shell of the large off-road vehicle, revealing the mobile rocket launchers inside. At the same time, there are mercenaries driving small engineering mechas nearby to use various equipment to fix these rocket launchers.
"Judging from these launchers, it should be the Q-75 rocket launcher of Ives Space Systems Company,"
An officer in the crowd said slowly, "This is a medium- and short-range rocket launcher specially designed for wilderness environments. The longest designed range is two hundred kilometers. It can deal with some strange environments of rocky cliffs, or strange beasts with rock-type hard and thick carapace.
"
"I remembered,"
Another officer answered, "We have also purchased a batch of these rocket launchers to clear out some armored beasts near the city wall. Multiple Q-75 rocket launchers combined together can also target enemies at medium and short ranges.
Carry out saturation attacks against group targets or giant targets.”
"I think they are pretending to do this. It doesn't look like they want to launch a saturation attack on the alien beasts, but it looks like they want to launch a saturation attack on us."
Another older officer in the crowd said hoarsely, "We need to prepare early."
"But their guns were not pointed at us, but pointed south."
A slightly younger officer in his thirties quickly answered, "Besides, there are a large number of flying alien beasts in the high altitudes of the wilderness. If they want to cross the fifty-kilometer safe zone and attack the high wall, they must first eliminate the sky."
Interference from alien beasts.”
"As long as their muzzles turn back 180 degrees, they will be pointed at us."
The older officer continued to speak hoarsely and replied calmly.
"The Q-75 rocket launcher does have the ability to attack high walls,"
The officer who recognized the rocket launcher before said, "The Q-75 can be launched at a low elevation angle when the terrain is flat. It has a low-altitude ballistic trajectory with far fewer aerial predators. Relying on the low-altitude ballistic technology of the Ivis space system, the furthest distance can be just across.
At a distance of 50 kilometers, its special armor-piercing design can also cause high damage to high walls."
"It seems that when these bastards designed this thing, they were prepared to use it against high walls?"
An officer's sneer came from the back row of the crowd.
"It's also normal. Most of the weapons designed by humans are designed to be used against humans themselves."
The older officer said hoarsely, "A pistol can't kill a strange beast, but it can easily kill a person, and the bastards like Ivis Space System have no shortage of war weapons at all. They have good things one by one."
of,
"I heard that they now have a mass-produced Falcon-5 ballistic missile, which can blur the perception of alien animals at high altitudes, pass through high altitudes smoothly with low loss, and can reach a maximum range of one thousand kilometers. Who knows that there are people within this thousand kilometers?
Is there any missile launch base they designed?"
"Is it against federal law to attack a fortress city directly? If I remember correctly, there happens to be a federal central army nearby. Is the Ives Space System risking its life?"
The young officer in his thirties said doubtfully.
"Based on the intelligence we received,"
The middle-aged officer sitting in the front row coughed lightly, "The Central Army was transferred away for some reasons half a year ago. It is now in the northeastern part of the Federation. There is no Central Army near us at the moment. We will follow their normal march in the wilderness.
Judging from the speed, it would take half a month for the nearest central army to come over to mediate."
"Irons guys are never reliable,"
The older officer cursed secretly, "The Federal Parliament and the President all wear the same pants as those consortiums. They started preparing half a year in advance. Maybe the relationship will be sorted out afterwards."
"I think these bastards are just here to show off their muscles and want to intimidate us with force."
An officer in the corner opened his mouth and said, "You're doing this on the border of a safe area, bah, it's disgusting."
"Then what should we do..."
The young officer whispered, "Are you just going to watch them do this?"
The atmosphere in the entire conference room fell silent for an instant, and everyone's eyes focused on the old man sitting in the front who had been silent.
"What did the Ivis Space System Mercenary Group say?"
Covey slowly turned his head and looked at the middle-aged officer beside him.
"They sent a communication saying that they were conducting exercises near Yilan City to test new equipment."
The middle-aged officer lowered his head and answered quickly.
"The drill was good,"
The old man turned back, looked at the huge screen, and said with a smile, "We happened to be doing exercises recently, so we asked the light cavalry mechanical unit of the First Wilderness Army Brigade to go out and do exercises next to them."
"yes!"
The middle-aged officer nodded immediately.
"Test all instruments and equipment in Nancheng, inventory and maintain the equipment in the arsenal, calibrate air defense systems and missile systems, and spread the wartime shift system to all troops in Nancheng,"
The old man stood up slowly and looked up at the video on the screen in front of him again. "The city gate is still open as usual, and caravans are allowed to enter and exit normally. Don't be afraid, and don't be reckless."
"yes!"
All the officers stood up at the same time and responded loudly.
At the same time, the old man slowly turned around and walked towards the door of the conference room and left the war conference room.
"General Covey,"
As soon as he took a few steps forward, a young guard came forward and handed a translucent metallic gray-gold card to Covey, "A man in a suit was outside the command center door and said...
Come visit you."
The old man reached out and took the card and read the words on it.
There is an overlapping triangle emblem printed on the front of the card. The two slender triangles are like two sharp bullets, overlapping each other towards the upper left and upper right respectively.
Above this overlapping triangular emblem is a line of sharp-edged fonts, 'Evis Space Systems Corporation'.
Covey turned the card over to the back. On the back was a neatly engraved sentence:
[My sincerest greetings to you, we have no hostility at all - Ives Space System Mercenary Group]
"General,"
At this time, the middle-aged officer also caught up from behind. He looked up at Covey hesitantly and said slowly,
"The news from the first mecha team is that Mayor Linn is heading to the southern area of Ninvis. He is alone and only brings one member of the guard."
The old man looked up at the middle-aged officer, picked up the metal card in his hand, and handed it to the middle-aged officer.
The middle-aged officer took the card with some confusion and glanced at the text on the card, "This is the envoy of the Ivis Space System Mercenary Group? What is he here for?"
"Try to convince us to join the consortium's camp."
Covey turned around and continued moving forward, speaking hoarsely.
"Hit a stick and give me a sweet date?"
The middle-aged officer looked at the delicate card in his hand and said with a dumb smile, "This card is quite heavy. Are these golden lines gilded? It looks expensive. The words engraved on it seem to be irreplaceable and disposable.
What? Just say something and use one card. It’s so luxurious.”
At this moment, the two of them had slowly walked to the terrace garden outside. Covey stood on the edge of the garden, looking up at the dilapidated city covered in golden light under the setting sun.
"So Mayor Linn guessed that people from the Ivis Space System would come to try to 'persuade' us, so he deliberately came to South City to put pressure on you?"
Holding the card in his hand, the middle-aged officer said thoughtfully.
Then he paused slightly and frowned slightly, "That's not right. How can he exert pressure by coming here alone? Isn't he afraid that we will be bribed by Ivis Space Systems Company, and then directly send troops to arrest him? He is not fooling around this time.
The air combat aircraft performed extreme maneuvers for him."
"He came to show me trust."
Covey lowered his head and looked down at the dilapidated small buildings under the setting sun with his cloudy eyes.
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged officer also realized something and sighed slightly, "At the most dangerous time, he came to our side. He was bold and courageous. It seemed like something he could do."
"I remember that you also grew up in the south of Ningweis?"
Covey looked away from the dilapidated buildings and asked in a low voice.
"yes,"
The middle-aged officer nodded lightly, "My mother was seriously ill at that time, and I was wandering the streets alone trying to make money. If you hadn't pulled me into the city defense army and changed my destiny, I would have joined a gang.
.”
"Let's go."
Covey glanced down at his officer uniform, turned and walked towards the corridor behind him.
"Um?"
The middle-aged officer was stunned and quickly chased after him, "Where are you going?"
"Tidy up, let's go down and take a look,"
The old man walked slowly into the corridor, his voice hoarse and distant, "Go back and see where we grew up."
