A purple puppet with a height of more than 15 submoments flew over the association's base on Lake Valyria. Ling asked Patil Matil to remove the optical camouflage and send an identification signal to the lakeside research institute below.
The sudden arrival of Gordias-class strategic humanoid weapons put all the red-coated soldiers stationed at the lakeside research institute on alert, but the recognition signal that followed left them puzzled.
"It's one of our own." After the captain confirmed that the authentication was correct, he used the communication device to instruct the technicians in the central control room to turn off the camouflage image played over the Lakeside Research Institute, and opened the top cover of the facility to let Patil Matil
Get into it.
The association base was established on the northwest shore of Lake Valyria, far away from the city. The location selection was not foolproof. The camouflage image was created to hide the location of the facility and avoid being discovered by the patrol and security airships of the Kingdom of Liberel Army during their patrols in the sky.
Countermeasures. In contrast to the concealment in the sky, the response on the ground is a mechanism that once the life detection device detects someone approaching, a thick fog will be generated around the lakeside research institute to interfere with the line of sight.
"Hey, I haven't been back for five years. This place has completely changed."
Ling jumped off Patil Matil's shoulders, landed gently on the ground, and took stock of the surrounding environment.
In the past, this was used as a place for daily training of executor candidates, and it was also an activity base prepared by the association for executors. Now, the facility itself has been expanded several times, but there are only a few people in the facility. Except for those in the research institute
In addition to the technical staff affiliated with the association, the group of red-coated soldiers who came to greet her and strengthened the Jaegers were all the people stationed here.
"Welcome. Executor No. 15, Master Cyanosis."
"Do you know me?" Ling glanced at the Jaeger captain who was wearing a full-face helmet and his face was completely hidden. Even the executioners didn't know each other. She hadn't been back for a long time, and she didn't expect anyone to be able to
Recognize her immediately.
"No, this is the first time we have met in real life. I used to serve as a guard at the Republic's association base. I have seen the development materials of the God Machine series, so I know that you are the only operator who can operate the Gordias class."
Was it because of Patil Matil that he recognized her? It would be understandable if the Chasseur Captain had once worked under Dr. Novatis.
"This kid is actually the Executor?" "This humanoid weapon is really big." "The ones produced in our research institute are not of the same level at all."
The red-coated soldiers other than the captain were also whispering, but after the Chasseur Captain coughed and ordered them "no private conversations", they immediately stopped talking.
"Tell me about the situation here. I haven't been back for a long time."
"As ordered." The captain of the Chasseurs replied.
From the other party's mouth, Ling learned that not long after she settled in the empire four years ago, this place had undergone large-scale transformation. The Sixth Pillar received permission from the Third Pillar to transform this place into a production of puppets for the association.
The location of the weapons. The puppet weapons used by the association are basically machines developed by the Thirteenth Workshop, a research organization directly under the Sixth Pillar. The Black Workshop is also nominally under the Thirteenth Workshop, but the head of the workshop, Al
Beirich is not loyal to the alliance leader. From the perspective of the Sixth Pillar, the Black Workshop is just a weapons workshop with a long history. Dr. Novatis has no understanding of the tactical shell and oz series. For the Thirteenth Workshop, the Black Workshop
It is mainly a place where S weapons are made. Neither Wiseman nor Ling told Dr. Novatis the inside story of the black workshop.
The Thirteenth Workshop is now a subsidiary organization of the Body-Eating Snake, but its establishment was many years earlier than the Body-Eating Serpent.
The association was actually only officially established for a little over ten years. All activities were carried out to achieve the final plan of Orpheus, the alliance leader. The main content of the association's initial activities was to collect manpower, including the two cadre classes of apostles and executors.
This stage took a total of five years from 1193, when Levi was invited by Ken Parella to become Executor No. 2, to 1198, when Executor No. 14, who was active in the East, joined. By the way, although Ling was no.
.15 But she is actually a senior who came earlier than No.14. If she had not insisted on being the 15th, the numbering order between her and the previous one should be reversed. Since No.14, although the association has
There are new blood such as the Iron Machine Team joining, but no new enforcers have been invited for several years. Although there is still a group of "executor candidates" in the association, from 1198 to now in 1202
, for four years, only one person among the double-digit executor candidates was promoted to official executor No. 16.
The high-end combat power assembled by the association has been enough to start the final plan of Orpheus, so the meaning of the training center here has become ambiguous. It is based on this consideration that Professor Wiseman agreed to Novartis
At the request of the doctor, the original training facility for executor candidates was changed into a physical strengthening and command implantation site for the enhanced hunters. The remaining expansion area was all given to the Thirteenth Workshop for renovation. In return for giving up this place, he
I also received feedback from Dr. Novatis, that is, the control of the Red Ark Grolias. Just like the developed Patil Matil was given to Ling without any concern in the past, the production was completed.
The Red Ark Gulorius was also given to Wiseman by Dr. Novatis. If anyone in the association needs to use the Red Ark, they must submit an application to the Third Pillar and get permission.
The fully automatic production line of the Lakeside Research Institute mainly produces two types of early warning aircraft, Sentinel 235 and Sentinel 570, reconnaissance aircraft, Port Explorer, fighter forward Desperate Guardian and other old puppet weapons, so only a few people are needed to guard it. Although this
The Institute is also involved in the development of new puppet weapons such as the Trinity Attacker Phalanx, the Jade Curtain, the Iron Horse, and the Crown of Balance. However, it is only the design of some parts. The overall design of the new puppet weapons is still a large-scale weapon in the Republic that is personally controlled by the Sixth Pillar.
Research base to complete.
Ling asked Patilmatil to stay on standby in the hangar, while she took the portable force guidance terminal and entered the central control room of the institute.
After entering the high-privilege account opened for her by Dr. Novartis on the operating terminal, Ling obtained a higher level of administrator privileges than the technicians in the central control room, which surprised the researchers.
Ling packed and copied all the development materials of various puppet weapons, and then checked the usage records of the puppet weapons lent to outsiders by the association, and used this to analyze what happened in the past month.
"Lorente, then Perth. The arrested Capua family...has Levi left Perth now?"
The Perth region in the northernmost part of the Liber Kingdom borders the Shasarant state in the southernmost part of the Erebonian Empire. It is one of the five main administrative divisions of the Liber Kingdom.
On Thursday, August 29, 1202, Qiyao Calendar, Wiseman implanted a hint into Doron Kapua, asking him to hijack the regular ship Linde on August 31, the day after tomorrow, and lend a large number of puppet weapons to the sky pirates
Group to use.
The original intention was to ambush someone aboard the regular ship Linde in the air. The person targeted was a man who had traveled from Grancel, the capital of Liberty, to Perth, and was scheduled to transfer to an international flight in Perth to enter the empire.
Cassius Bright. But Cassius did not get on the regular ship after asking the diplomats at the Imperial Embassy in the royal capital for information. Instead, he entered the Erebonian Empire through other means. This made Huai
Siman's arrangement failed and he had to change his arrangements for the Sky Pirates and his group.
On Wednesday, September 4th, the Royal Army found the regular ship Linde. Doron followed the professor's hint and left a letter demanding ransom for the hostages from Lieber.
Saturday, September 7th. Lieutenant Lawrence met with Gil Capua and Josté Capua.
On Sunday, September 8th, the Capua Sky Pirates were arrested by the Royal Army led by Colonel Richard.
These are the time clues that can be obtained from the records of the use of puppet weapons. August 30 is the day when Ken Parela planned to attack the guerrilla associations in major cities in the empire. September 8 happened to be the day when Ling and Tio went to Yumil hot springs together.
that day.
After that, Ling spent ten days renovating and preparing Patil Matil, and today is already September 18th.
"If you are looking for Second Lieutenant Lawrence, I heard that he should be on a mission in the Luan area now."
One of the strengthened hunters told Ling the information she wanted to know most.
I learned from the other party that among the special agents of the Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of Liberel established by Alan Richard, they recruited not only Lorensberg, the former Jesta Jaeger, but also members of the enhanced Jaeger.
This is an arrangement implemented by Wiseman in order to promote the gospel plan. From the regular communication between the enhanced hunters, we know that there is currently a small team of special agents operating around Mayor Delmon in Luan due to work needs. And Loren
Second Lieutenant Si is their captain.
Ling discovered that the Enhanced Jaegers didn't seem to know that Second Lieutenant Lawrence was the Executor No. 2 Sword Emperor Reinhardt, and their tone of mentioning him was not respectful. At least not as respectful as they were when facing her.
Levi’s disguise seems to be perfect.
After thanking the few remaining hunters, Ling left the central control room, jumped on Patilmatil's shoulder, and let Patilmatil take off and head towards the Luan area in the west of the Liber Kingdom.
After parting ways at the border, Ling hasn't seen Levi for more than half a month. If nothing goes wrong during this trip, she may be able to see another "Levi" whom she hasn't seen for five years in Luan City.
