The sky with migratory birds flying over it is quite rare for Crossbell.
Ling thought as she looked at the unrealistic sky filled with birds in the distance.
"Where did we just talk? By the way, the so-called Baya produced by Sailand Company is very powerful if used as an explosive. Do you think that is fake?"
The tall and thin man wore the same sunglasses as Leonidas. Trapper Jeno and Ling had only met him a few times. Unlike Leo who was resident in Kezhou, he rarely came to Crossbell.
, usually only transfer here when there is a mission.
"Originally, it was not a specially developed military explosive, it was just an oral medicine used in medicine. Its power is about the same as the green explosives used by your Jaegers. The amount of 2 krims is enough to blow up a three-story villa.
, ordinary armored vehicles can probably deal with it. But if you want to blow up a whole city block in one go with 70 krim, you can't even think about it. Of course, it's not ruled out that some people think that blowing up thirty-five buildings is enough.
The idea of building a neighborhood, I think is just a play on words.”
Hearing Ling's explanation, the trap master looked a little disappointed.
"Jeno, if Remifilia's pharmaceutical factory really develops something with unimaginable power, neither Erebonia nor Calvard will sit idly by. 70 Krim's medicine
If it can blow up a city block with enough force, its power is even more powerful than the train cannon of Galeria Fortress. Since there is no movement on both sides, you can probably guess which side is the truth." Although Leonidas looks rough,
, but it does not mean that he is a reckless man. A person who can serve as a dignified company captain in the West Wind Brigade is actually a person who is both rough and fine.
"I'm just taking a chance."
Geno spread his hands to show that he didn't take it to heart.
The current location of the three of them is in the wetland on the south bank of Crossbell, at the corner of Ursula Road. The three of them all used their excellent stealth skills to hide in the shade of the trees, so they were not caught by the people who were camping not far away.
The gang found out.
It wasn't a premeditated gathering, it just happened to happen that we met two West Wind company captains on the road and we just wanted to see what they were going to do.
"Mr. Geno, it's quite rare for you to come to Crossbell. Are you here specifically for this group of people?"
"This is the main factor. Dr. Ling, you seem to be quite interested in them too?"
When Jeno met for the first time, he called him "Sister Ling", which made Ling spit out the black tea. Calling women "Sister So-and-so" is a form of address in the Tao, but Ling insisted on changing his name to "Sister So-and-so".
"Dr. Ling". Geno was born in Qiyao Calendar 1172 and is 32 years old this year. He is the same age as Ling's biological mother Sophia. Leonidas was born in Qiyao Calendar 1170 and is the same age as Ling's biological father Harold.
Niansheng. That kind of name makes people feel uncomfortable, but she doesn't accept it.
"I think I have some connection with those people. To be precise, I thought I had some connection, but in fact they are all new faces. So I'm not very interested now."
When she was in Tuturk, she didn't see any of the faces of the neighbor men in this group of people. She also didn't see any hunters who had been trained by Reinhardt, which made her even somewhat suspicious that these guys were...
He is no longer an imposter, pretending to be a little thief from the Jesta Hunter Regiment.
"Oh, that's good. Although the Jesta Chasseur Regiment is not top-notch, it is still a well-known chasseur organization. It is a good backup for my second company, which has just been reduced in number during the mission.
"Just a little training will come in handy." Geno narrowed his eyes and spoke to Ling while looking at the people wearing uniforms at the campsite.
"Attrition...has anyone died in "West Wind"?"
"Dr. Ling, you are a cultural person and it is probably difficult to accept death. But for hunters like us who live on the battlefield, this is a common occurrence. Even if I die tomorrow, it will not matter.
Strange life. Xiaofei who lives with you is also a survivor who survived the battlefield."
"That's not what I meant."
It seems that Jeno, who has not had much contact with her, misunderstood her as a girl who grew up in a peaceful world. Even if she is not as good as the hunters who make a living by killing people, Ling has been entrusted by the Thousand Ring Breakers to carry out assassination missions in the past.
A lot of lives were taken away in those years, but she had no intention of correcting his misunderstanding.
It has been almost five years since Ling solemnly promised Reinhardt not to kill people casually. Until now, she still intends to continue to abide by the agreement at that time. Just like forging a sword, just like burning herself, the fierceness that once haunted her is still there.
There is nothing left on her body. Since it has not been discovered, it means that she has restrained herself well.
"I remember providing you with a large amount of tungsten-titanium alloy...that is, S-weapons made of Koldarai steel as employment rewards. The strength of the combatants of your "West Wind Brigade" should be comprehensively improved.
"
"No matter how good the weapon is, it still depends on who is using it. When encountering a tough battle, there are always blind spots that cannot be guarded against." Geno shook his finger, correcting Ling's view that increasing the level of equipment can bring about an increase in combat power.
"I thought you wouldn't take on such a high-risk mission. From what I know about you, the style of "West Wind Brigade" is different from that of "Red Constellation". Planning before taking action is the style of the Hunter King, right?"
?”
"Most of the time, this is the case, but occasionally there are times when you have to risk your life. When the "Brigade" was first established, the leader received a lot of help from the "Northern Hunters". It was said to be repaying a debt of gratitude.
Okay, the recent mission has something to do with that. The specific content is the internal affairs of our brigade, so I won’t disclose more."
"Hey, could it be that we met the "Knights of the Star Cup"?"
Ling just said it casually, but she didn't expect Geno's expression to be like "How do you know?"
"It's not that I can read minds. I'm just enumerating them casually. Even you, as combat experts, will feel troubled after all of you are equipped with S weapons. There are not many enemies on the mainland. So let's get back to business, let's talk about the situation in front of us.
The thing is, I didn’t bring my subordinates but only you two came..."
"Originally, we were just here to investigate. But now it seems that the two of us alone are enough to deal with these people."
"Hmm. It seems that there are no Jaegers who belong to the first echelon. It is probably because they were not taken seriously that they were able to escape from the imperial army's pursuit."
Leonidas, who had been silent all this time, also nodded. He had been observing the movements in the camp since just now.
"Jeno, there is no thorny target. It doesn't matter if we just go up to it."
"Understood. Then Dr. Ling, let's go to work first."
Geno waved goodbye to Ling, pulled out the huge blunderbuss sword from the ground, and followed Leonidas to charge towards the camp of the Jesta Hunter Regiment, which consisted of forty people.
This is a battle without suspense. Although they are the remnants of the "Jesta Hunters", their combat effectiveness is not comparable to the first echelon of the "Jesta Hunters" who have been trained by Levi. Most of them
His fighting power is not even as good as that of Kilbart-kun who is following Ling... Oh, no, Kilbart-kun has also worked very hard. In the past six months, his strength has been completely different from before.
Mr. Erbat is just a piece of shit who can't even be considered as a candidate for execution.
The duo who rushed into the flock quickly broke up the defense line of the remaining party. Not only was there a gap in strength, but they also attacked by surprise. The hunter group, which was a bit slow to react, was completely unable to take advantage of their numerical advantage.
Although it was obvious that both of them were on guard against Baya who might be turned into an explosive, they didn't find anything like a Jaeger-style deactivation bomb until they beat everyone down.
"Damn it, how could I be inexplicably defeated here before I could take revenge on Cassius Bright!!!"
The howl of a defeated dog could be heard in the distance. He took advantage of Geno and Leo being trapped by the bottles and jars and escaped from the battle line. Then he stumbled towards the roadside.
"I am Jericho, the captain of the Jesta Chassis Regiment. If you don't want this child to die, stop!"
By chance, there was a little girl passing by. She made a rash move without thinking. Ling was a little surprised when she saw the face of the child who was being held hostage. But next, this person's name was Jericho.
The guy was forced to his knees by the little girl he thought was a hostage using joint techniques and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"It seems like it's really a trash fish."
Ling probably expected this outcome when she saw the child, but since it was this child, it was better not to let him get too involved with this.
"Xiao Di, is today the day you go to the hospital for a review?"
Ling appeared in front of Arios' daughter and took advantage of her height, which was half a head taller, to touch her head.
"What a coincidence. Does Sister Ling also go to the Medical University? Or is it the special ward?"
"That's right."
"Is this uncle who suddenly rushed over...a bad person?"
The squad leader, who was foaming at the mouth due to the severe pain, had fainted from the pain and lost consciousness. Although she was small, she was merciless in her attacks. Xiaodi began to practice martial arts after regaining her sight.
As a disciple, she had carefully followed her senior brother Joshua to learn the secret of how to attack various vital parts of the human body without causing death. Of course, this part of the teaching was done without telling Arios.
"Just throw him on the ground and leave him alone. Let's go to the Medical University."
Anyway, Leo and Geno will definitely come over to take care of it in a while, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
In fact, there is another different faction in the Jesta remnant party. Ling recently received a letter from Joshua from the Regram branch. In the letter, he mentioned that he and Estelle also encountered a ring that was an ancient relic.
The remnants of the "Jesta Chasseurs" controlled by the Ring of Judgment. Although they were small toys distributed by Ken Parella a long time ago, it is really not good enough to be controlled by them.
The same is true here. Even the leader of the team is just a small character. "Jesta Hunters" seems to be really finished.
Just as Ling and Xiaodi walked leisurely to the entrance of the Medical University, she suddenly realized that she had ignored something intentionally or unintentionally.
Since it is not in the hands of the "Jesta Hunters", then where did the 70 krim Baaya that was stolen from Selander Company go? It is based on the remnants of the "Jesta Hunters" who are not on the surface.
Under the guise, it was a trick to covertly build the plank road... Although he confidently told Geno that Baya was "not very powerful", it was for ground-level buildings. If it were used to deal with humans... this is the complete human body.
The power is irresistible. If it is blown up by that, even a powerful person like Ling will not be able to survive unharmed.
After handing Xiao Didi to Cecil, the head nurse on duty, Ling immediately returned to the camp where the Jesta Hunter Regiment was. All the hunters in uniforms had disappeared. Xifeng's efficiency was still quite high, and then he appeared
Here is an unexpected quartet.
When they saw the appearance of the visitor, their reactions were different.
"Ling...what are you doing here?" Tio was the first to speak, with a slightly strange look on his face. It wasn't a question, just pure confusion.
"I haven't seen you in almost two weeks. How are you doing there, Tio?"
"Well, I'm getting used to it gradually."
Then he looked at the girl with pearly gray hair.
"Allie too, it feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Ever since Bell's tea party at the end of last year. Could it be that Ling, you are also here to investigate the stolen items?"
"It seems our interests are aligned."
After catching up with the two girls, I went on to say hello to the boys.
"Lloyd Bannings. An investigator affiliated with the Special Agent Support Division. This is our first meeting. Please give me some advice."
"Randolph Orlando. We both belong to the Special Agent Support Section. Please give me more advice."
Although Lloyd had a vague impression of this short violet-haired girl in a white coat, the "Have we met somewhere" approach was too cliché, so he still didn't say that. It was decent.
Investigator Bannings took out his search manual and showed his identity to the woman he was "met for the first time" in a formal manner.
After the two briefly introduced their names, Ling also told them one of the identities she usually uses.
"I am Ling Astre. I am a scholar from the Erebonian Empire. I am an old acquaintance of Tio and Ellie in your team."
This was the first formal meeting between Ling and the Tiaozi Group.
Geno didn't notice the truth of Ling's restraint, and neither did Lloyd nor Randolph. Although Tio probably knew something about it, she had no intention of exposing the details of her best friend here.
Several people began to exchange information, and the core focus was around the theft incident. All Ling needed was information. She did not intend to get involved in this matter, but for the support section, this was a major issue currently faced.
Task. For Tio's sake, Ling doesn't mind giving them more help.
