At this time, the airship unfolded its side deck. Under the strong wind at high altitude, many people in jumpsuits jumped down into the surging clouds below. In a few breaths, nearly fifty or sixty people broke through the clouds.
, they unfolded their limbs, and webbed membranes made of flexible material spread between their hands and feet. The cushioning force brought by them and their own excellent body balance allowed them to glide briefly in the air.
Soon after, they all landed around the target location, and the cave map inside the mountain was distributed to everyone.
"Three minutes, the operation officially begins." At the same time, Stian also issued the order to attack, "You are allowed to shoot when you encounter prey, without having to consider capturing it." Il and Theodore did not think that relying solely on the strength of the ground troops
It can capture prey alive with its strength. Once it has certain restrictions when attacking, it may cause instability and give the prey a chance to escape.
"Mountaintop troops, the equipment has been delivered. You should rush to several air vents in the nearby cave network and pour biological poisons into them." Another order was issued, and several large iron cans encapsulated in steel were also transferred from the airship via steel cables.
Up and down. A group of people who were fully integrated into the mountaintop environment rushed over and worked together to lift them away. Using the pressure pump installed above, they began to pour these substances into the cave network.
At this moment, the rolling thunder finally came to them, and lightning began to flash nearby. The entire airship formation followed the instructions just now and descended to a safer position based on the data obtained from the analysis machine.
.
Looking at the clouds below that were penetrated by the mountain flames, Il and Theodore finally got out with a series of orders. Now all they have to do is wait, waiting for the detection news from the ground troops and the airship in mid-air.
to determine the specific location of the prey in the huge mountain below, and then use the airship's firepower network to complete their mission.
Huge thunder shook the hull of the airship. The wind became extremely fierce at this time, and the airship shook several times before slowly adjusting to stabilize. A heavy rainstorm was coming. In the communication from the ground troops
, the huge sound of rain mixed with the howling wind can already be heard.
But it came a little late. In the flames swaying on the mountain, the withered plants almost turned to ashes, exposing black soil and hard rock. The flames were also gradually extinguished by the continuous gray-white rain curtain at this moment, and then rose.
The smoke didn't even have a chance to fly into the air, and was completely knocked down into the gray-black water, flowing down the hillside to the foot of the mountain.
Three minutes passed quickly, and the internal map drawings of the mountain were passed to all the ground troops. The encirclement circle started to move, shrinking towards the mountain at a steady speed.
"I wish you good luck, Resa." Trono said softly in the sound of rain, with a certain voice of determination.
"Trono, have you really decided?" Resa tilted his head, a little surprised. In a very short period of time, he saw the transformation of his best friend.
"Indeed, no matter what the outcome of this mission is, I think I will never go back to the Knights. I will be severely punished. You know the rules of the Knights. There are definitely situations in this mission that we are not aware of.
That is the source of the danger, not a danger we can resist now."
"Such a danger is of course supported by the Knights." Ressa replied, showing a smile, which then turned into an unexplained sarcasm, "Trono, Il and Theodore know more than you, and they know more than you.
They are smart and can see the current situation better than you. Whatever you can think of, they can definitely think of it. Since they will continue to carry out the mission even though they know there is an inside story behind it, it means something. I see you
Are you really afraid? When you first entered the Knights, you said you would stick to the last glory of the Knights, so this is already considered an escape."
"Hmph,,,hum,,," Trono couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and stood silently in the rain, letting the heavy rain wash away, "What if this danger was not predicted even by them? We are all born into a big family.
Here, the background forces are almost on the same level, but their status is not the same. You know, the empire is like this now. Once encountering difficult things, no force is willing to waste strength on it. At that time, we will only be pushed
Go out and be the one who takes responsibility. What are the consequences that you haven’t thought of yet?”
"I will leave soon. This time, such force was dispatched just to deal with a person who was in the second stage of surgery, and it was also approved by the top brass of the Knights. I think I am afraid. But it's not just me.
I was scared, and I thought the senior executives must have the same mood. This approach made me think of a possibility - if this task is not completed within a specific period of time, the consequences may not even be achieved by the senior executives.
Bear it. I won't go back, and the same goes for my family. I think it is necessary for me, who is involved in this matter, to find a place to hide, just like the prey is hiding from us now."
"Then I hope that when we meet in the future, you haven't forgotten what you said." Resa followed the team and headed towards the mountain.
Trono still hesitated: "That's what I expected, but at that time I might only be able to talk to you in the photo of the tombstone." His voice was drowned by the sound of rain, and Trono finally turned around. He took off the
I originally wanted to crush the communicator, but chose to contact Cressy and told him my thoughts.
Trono suddenly felt that his behavior was ridiculous, and now he actually wanted to find someone who agreed with his ideas.
"I will consider it," Claysy said, "but I will wait and see for a while before making a decision. If allowed, you can wait for me at Miwejia's place." After careful and detailed thinking, Clay
Xi is also thinking about the way out after this. His intuition is stronger than Trono's. It is his intuition about the situation that was tempered by climbing to his current position in the temple.
"Okay, but please make a decision as soon as possible." The communicator was trampled to pieces, and Trono quickly disappeared into the rain.

Poking his head out from the lake, Cassia looked at the mountains where the fire was shining and disappearing, and he already understood the purpose of the enemy's series of actions.
He had to admire their commander, who was indeed fundamentally different from the group of people in Meselia. Setting fire to mountains seemed to have always been a serious crime in the empire, but he knew that such laws were becoming less and less effective in front of them.
It is a bit binding. Its only function is that when necessary, one or two regulations can be taken out as a legitimate reason to put it out there.
The collected rainwater still carries a little warmth, but it is also quickly assimilated by the cold raindrops. Thunder shakes the surrounding air, and lightning that illuminates the entire mountain range from time to time outlines the mountain that looks extremely ferocious after the flames burn.
.
Cassia picked up the weapon and took advantage of the time before the burning temperature had completely dropped. He hunched his body and ran towards the entrance of the cave. He appeared to be more careful. The dense rain curtain provided him with a little visual cover, losing those
The concealment effect of plants means that once discovered, they will face firepower from airships in a very short time.
The coldness brought by the rain made Cassia calmer. He also warned himself that any panic now would be in danger of ruining himself. His body flew up among some rocks and earth bags of different heights, and he turned his head from time to time.
Looking behind him, in the overlapping rain curtains, he felt that he had caught several blurry figures.
"I have to speed up." Cassia said to herself and looked to her upper left. Behind the clouds there was the crater frozen by the ice. "We have to find a safe route. I don't know if there is a cave.
Connect to the immediate area there." (To be continued)
