Chapter 70: Upcoming action?

 The next day, the weather on the Sikilia Peninsula was extremely gloomy. A thick black cloud covered the sky of the peninsula. It was like a huge whirlpool, swallowing up all the buildings, vehicles and mountains and forests on the ground, until

Bottomless abyss.

Incandescent electric snakes shuttled in the clouds, and thunder came from the east, rolled past, and hit the majestic Sicilia Mountains, emitting a deafening roar that made people almost think that the huge and fragile island structure was

The bridge is collapsing, submerging countless amounts of earth, stone and mud, which will turn this place into a desperate situation that has been deserted for hundreds of thousands of years.

Various signs seem to indicate that a storm is approaching, but there is no moist moisture on the ground. Instead, it is dry and dull. The plants are tortured by the heat and are dying, and the curled branches and leaves show a pale color from excessive blood loss; near the sea

In the cold lantern city of Machar, a large group of sharp-billed gulls that inherited the memories of their ancestors passed by the tallest lighthouse on the island like dark clouds, and fled in a hurry, leaving a century-old memory in ruins.

It was clearly evening, and the swamp was already so dark that it felt like it had fallen into eternal night. The damp mist came with the sharply lowering temperature, covering the cold water, the dense mangroves and the sparse sky. Leticia squatted on the island

At the edge, he raised his head and stared blankly at the shadow of the lake in the fog. His posture was lost in thought, as if he was delving into a difficult problem that had brought about the birth of the world but also destroyed it.

Medien walked up to her softly, not wanting to disturb her thoughts, but she was still discovered. Leticia came back to her senses, turned her head and saw the pink-haired little girl tiptoeing, and asked doubtfully

Said: "What are you doing, Metien?"

"Hey, hey, it's nothing."

Metien giggled twice and looked around: "I just wanted to ask you what you are doing here, why don't you go to the house and take a rest?"

"No need."

Leticia shook her head, looked at the sky again, and said, "I'm looking to see if there will be a moon tonight; if there is, will it be a full moon?"

"Oh?"

Metien's eyes lit up: "I know! Because vampires are a race born from the moonlight, so on moon nights, their fighting power will be stronger, especially when the moon is full, they will become a complete body, right?"
She looked at her friend expectantly, and Leticia was speechless: "Who told you this?"

"Sister Alice."

Okay.

What an unexpected answer.

"She lied to you." Leticia exposed this cruel fact: "The vampires are not aliens like moon elves or moonlight elves. They have nothing to do with the moon. We like to do activities on moonrise nights just because the moonlight is bright and the field of vision is bright.

It’s just clearer.”

"Oh."

Medien nodded in realization, but did not care that Sister Alice actually deceived him. After all, her nonsense was not a matter of a day or two. He asked curiously: "So you were just observing whether there was moonlight tonight.

Inconvenient to move?"

"No."

Leticia shook her head. For some reason, her voice suddenly became a little deeper, matching her mood: "I'm different from other vampires. I really hate the moon, especially the full moon. So I was just thinking, what if tonight is not a full moon?

, that would be the best."

"Oh..."

Of course, Medien was curious about the reason why Leticia didn't like the full moon, but when she saw that her friend was not in a good mood, she was understanding and didn't ask any more questions, preparing to find other topics to distract her.
At this time, Semi flew over from the direction of the cabin, shouting as he flew back: "Medine, Leticia! Ringer is calling you to go back!"

"Hey, Semi?" Seeing his friend in such a hurry, Metien asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"Oh, Alice said that her game has been developed, so Ringo thinks we can set off to save Leticia's grandma."

As soon as Xie Mi finished speaking, Leticia stood up with a "ru" sound. Without even having time to say hello to the two of them, she hurried towards the cabin and quickly disappeared from the sight of the two.

.

Metien could understand her friend's anxiety, in fact she was also very anxious, so she grabbed Xie Mi who was still flying in mid-air and could not stop the car, skillfully put it on top of her head, and said: "Let's get there quickly!



They followed Leticia's footsteps and left, leaving only the sound of splashing water. Perhaps a fish under the water was disturbed by their footsteps and swung its tail from the sand pit where it was hiding.

The child dived into the turbid and dark abyss and disappeared.

The fog is thick and the night is quietly encroaching. There is no full moon on the Sicilia Peninsula tonight.

……

Dickens was also observing the moonlight. He was standing on a high ground outside the swamp, holding in his hand a "V-shaped visual distance auxiliary plug-in" that looked like a telescope. Although it was a relatively backward model, it could still help him cross over.

From a long distance, through the blocking fog, you can clearly see the dead silence and dim scene in the swamp.

Swimming fish dive, waterbirds fly across, firefly-like spores and moss illuminate the decaying tree trunks, and the huge shadows looming deep in the mist are ancient castles and courtyards built by aliens, but now there is no sign of the owner, only the

The water plants pushed aside, the traces in the sand pit and the footprints in the depression hinted at their whereabouts.

All lead to the central area of ​​​​the swamp, which is the location marked as the "Kuya Arc" on the map.

"It seems that those aliens were all bewitched by Gundaruf's words." Dickens put down the sight range auxiliary plug-in and said to Christian beside him: "A century ago, they fled in a hurry, wishing they could escape to a place without the union of religious orders.

However, a century later, they made the opposite decision, knowing that it was a conspiracy, a trap, and a bait in front of the agency, but they still kept coming... The temptation of eternal life for them is so strong, it is really ironic."
The Chief Administrative Officer, who uses the name of a writer as the code name of the philosopher, seems to be infected with the temperament of some writers, so he expressed such emotion. This is not surprising, after all, the code name of the philosopher is originally chosen based on the preferences of the qualified person.

, most of the members who choose the name of philosopher are good at thinking, and most of the members who choose the name of scientist are serious and cautious, so the members who choose the name of writer are naturally more delicate and elegant than others.

Correspondingly, there is the meticulous expression of Christiane, who chose the name of scientist as the code name of philosopher, and her unwavering voice: "In essence, there is no obvious difference between aliens and humans, but in some places they are still different.

Exactly. Just like most of us may be able to resist the temptation of eternal life and remain unmoved even though we know that the files of the teeth of eternal life are sealed in the library, but more people are actually ordinary, mediocre and mundane things, such as

The group of people who followed the 'Sleepless Eye' Vanos in the S-112 incident even angered the leader and triggered the second purge. This cannot be considered a weakness of human nature, but is actually a commonality of life."

"It makes sense." Dickens nodded slightly and said with a smile: "But the S-112 incident has been handled confidentially. Although there are only two of us here, it is better not to say anything casually, Mr. Christian."

Christian was silent for a moment and replied: "I was negligent."

Dickens said: "It's okay. I think the leader has probably forgotten this matter a long time ago. Let's talk about work matters. Mr. Andrew told me before that Valenhild colluded with aliens in Qiyu Port.

The family members are all under control; the final fire produced by Lutar Steam Engine Factory is on the way to be transported, and is jointly guarded by the Death Bird Force and the Night Watch Force; what is the situation on the Balance of Order side?"

"Everything is ready." Christian replied in a cold tone, but this coldness was not directed at Dickens, but at the aliens in the swamp who were destined to face disaster: "The machine troops and the tank troops

In the process of occupying the commanding heights, 316 arbitration teams have established a blockade along the periphery of the swamp, and have set up "blockade positions" and "etheric optical positions" to prevent them from escaping. In addition,

Ninety-six trial teams, led by Chief Judge Andrew, have gone deep into the swamp to conduct the first wave of investigations and are ready for a firefight. The operation can start at any time, but my suggestion is to postpone it for half an hour.



"Half an hour?" Dickens quickly reacted: "Is it to wait for Lord Feier to arrive?"

"Yes." Christian nodded lightly: "If Lord Fei'er comes to the front line to command in person, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be stronger, which will be very helpful in reducing the overall casualty rate of the operation."

In the early stages of formulating the action, the factor of Grand Inquisitor Feier's participation in the battle was not considered. Even now, Christian only suggested that she be given command instead of personally participating in the battle. This is certainly a reflection of the outstanding military power deployed by the Balance of Order.

I am confident, and it is also because once Fei Er Mianxia leaves the Fei Ye Mente, she will enter a state that is inconvenient for fighting. If she is forced to join the battle in this state, the price will be heavy.

Your Majesty himself is also aware of this, so the communication report he sent back clearly stated: He brought several ship officers back to take the mixed test scores. He is very good at paddling and fishing, and forget about the others. Also, I am a mixed person.

You are not allowed to report to the leaders or the Special Assessment Bureau regarding the examination scores!

The tone was so strong that three exclamation points were added at the end.

These straightforward words once caused Christian to fall into silence for half an hour when facing the report.

However, these are insignificant matters and will not affect the execution of the plan.

"Just do as you say."

Dickens stared deeply at the dark and creeping swamp shrouded in mist under the night, as if looking at a ferocious beast that was about to be tamed by human reins and swords. His tone was light and casual, but it was full of heavy power: "

Half an hour later, Operation [Tinder] officially began."
