Steel steam and flame

"Be ready at any time. After waiting for such a long time, isn't the purpose of the organization just to allow small countries to take control of the light?" Kingsley wiped his hands, walked a few steps and looked at the burning fireplace, spitting out With a breath that seemed to bring a cold breath, the firewood burning in the fireplace was extinguished instantly, and the temperature disappeared quietly. "However, your suspicion should be put away in time. Over the past few years, we have cleaned up the organization together. I admit it. It’s true that it’s not thorough, and there are some bad things left over. But,,,”

"You know what I want to say. In this era, if we keep them alive for the time being and play some role, the benefits to the organization will outweigh the disadvantages. Moreover, after becoming a component of the alliance, we have the right to clean them out at any time. .With this guarantee, it won’t be unreasonable for us to change our previous views and mentality on the internal situation of the organization in accordance with the situation, right?”

As they talked, the two walked out of the two-story house, passed through a garden full of withered plants in front of the house, and went to the limousine on the side of the road. Light rain has continued in this area for two weeks, with only a tendency to gradually intensify and turn to snow, showing no signs of stopping.

Like a skilled driver, Kingsley opened the car door for Hongmang, then closed it gently after he got in. When he sat in the driver's seat, he raised his head out of habit, glanced at the gray sky, and muttered: "It's not a good day today. After several days of driving, it seems that I can't be in the mood for sightseeing along the way."

Sitting in the driver's seat, he fastened his seat belt, looked at the surrounding situation as if he was about to drive a giant war machine, determined the various buttons and valves, and then started the vehicle, "Okay, the Kingsley Inn is about to go next. A destination, Talor City!”

He spoke very emotionally, as if he was driving not a limo, but an airship mothership in the sky. It's just that the red light in the back seat didn't react at all, automatically ignoring the scene.

With the low-quality roar of "da da da", the limousine drove onto the road and began its journey, and the topic just now was continued again.

"The world we live in has never existed rationally from the beginning." Hongmang opened the window to let the cold wind in, so that the interior of the limo would not become dull due to the air circulation system. "Those people you are talking about, It's just that they temporarily changed their position because they saw greater interests. This kind of change is uncontrollable and will happen to them again in the future."

"It will definitely happen. The organization will not be stable, but we can be prepared." Kingsley said with emotion, "When we get involved with Macquarie, Li Suman, and Cassia, the organization will It is destined not to continue a stable state. Clearing away the green trees means that the organization says goodbye to the word 'stability'."

"It will be good news for the organization. The dull feeling before is finally gone."

Hongmang sighed at this moment, and then changed his mood, "This time, Cassia is accompanied by Miss Lisuman."

"I know, as long as it's not that person. I still remember how I felt when we first met. I was very uncomfortable, as if I had turned into a child in an instant, sitting upright in the teacher's classroom and listening to the teacher's lecture. . What’s even more troublesome is that the teacher will look over at you from time to time to make sure you’re asleep. It’s uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!”

"Miss Lisuman, this is actually a good result for us. We have had contact in the past. This time, she probably came with Cassia just for protection. Of course, you don't need to remind me, I am very Know where her level of strength lies."

Kingsley continued his summary: "In short, most of the people around Cassia are either monsters or on the road to transforming into monsters."

"By the way, Miss Lisuman has contacted you. What news did she disclose?"

"Just say that this meeting and discussion is very important and will be the biggest opportunity for the organization." Hongmang said, "That's what Ms. Li Suman said. She didn't explain anything more. Well..." After a thoughtful voice, Hongmang said Mang looked at the rearview mirror ahead, "That friend of yours from the Imperial Military Department can't wait any longer?"

"Even if he can't wait, he still has to wait. But you can rest assured that the impact of the Red Star is almost here. At present, a large number of polluting dragon species have come to the Later Phase Continent from the Theocracy and the Nature Association. After a period of time, he will not He has more energy to focus on the organization. Moreover, even if he is ambitious, he only seeks cooperation with us and has no other ideas."

"I'm just reminding you. After all, your friend is from the Imperial Military Department and can become a four-star or five-star general. This identity information is enough to analyze a large amount of potential intelligence. Who is he? I think in two or three months, you don’t need to tell me. Miss Lissoman, Mr. Macquarie, and Miss Hillary, they will tell me their names.”

"I think he will be happy if he can maintain the mystery for two or three months." Kingsley didn't care. "I just said that changing strategies, thoughts, and moods as time goes by should be something worthy of recognition. And learning things. And I learned this from this friend."

"I will consider it, but it needs to be discussed after the meeting with Cassia. After receiving the contact from Li Suman, my intuition told me a lot of things. You know that my intuition has always been accurate. It is indeed different from before. After entering the high stage Cassia will definitely start to come into contact with more things. Knowing most of the intelligence related to the alliance, what he will think is very important. In addition, how he will think about the incident in the southern forest is also the key point for me." Hongmang answered. With the windows closed, the interior of the limo suddenly became very quiet.

"Probably, he needs strength and something that can cause absolute deterrence."

"Is this your intuition? The meeting in a few days is the organization's biggest opportunity? Will Cassia bring more uranium gold and share the information we have been longing for?"

"If the opportunity for the organization does not come from Cassia, where do you think the source will be? When the war comes, one of the Theocracy, the Natural Society, and the Saint Dorag Empire is completely destroyed, and a large number of scientific researchers are lost. Who happens to be taken over by the organization? Or is it the organization? Someone goes to dig up the information they want in the ruins? Or is it the kind that can just move a few finished products and make them safe for use at any time?"

"In addition to conducting research on its own, what other options can the organization have? Even if the above situation occurs, do you think that the organization's strength and influence background are qualified to share a share of the results? The answer is definitely no. On the Post-phase Continent The three giant countries are already huge things that the organization cannot fight with its own strength. There is no need to imagine the Theocracy and the Nature Association."

"You must also understand that as long as everything goes smoothly, even if the organization achieves perfect results in the purification and refining of uranium bombs and ultimate metals, it is impossible for the organization to unite all small countries. Completely independent and become a normal place. The research results,,, are just something to gain the right to talk, and some things can be negotiated with them. In the end, to obtain the expected results of the lighting plan, it is still the use of two items of research The result is that after helping a certain person or force among the three giant countries and giving them the right to speak, they will in turn protect and support the organization."

"Even if the organization plus all the small countries, the combined power is still too small. Moreover, as the pillars of a standard giant country, we don't have any of the super analysis machine and dragon breeding pen. We had no choice at the beginning Don’t you want to develop them because you don’t want to develop them? It’s because the probability of completing them is zero, so we gave up directly from the source.”

Of course Kingsley knew, but he didn't want to really say it. Acquiescence and personal admission will be two completely different states and moods: "So, your idea is Cassia. Even if it is not Cassia, it will be an alliance that the organization joins?"

"Are there other options? Is it the current Pope who only thinks about how to completely destroy and kill all the Holy Fathers, or your careerist friend in the Imperial Military Department? Compared with the Alliance and Cassia, which side do you think has higher What’s the probability? We don’t have many choices to begin with. In the past, we didn’t even have the right to choose.”

"Cassia is definitely deeply bound to the alliance. No matter how you look at it, the risk is too huge. However, this sentence is just my words. In actual circumstances, the organization has no better choice. He and the alliance are indeed the current The optimal solution is also the best one among the opportunities that the organization can seize."

"I hope this meeting and discussion can give us hope directly. I have only been in the organization for a few decades, but I also feel that the meaning of the organization at the beginning will be completely lost. The so-called ultimate metal and uranium gold bullet As time goes by, it becomes the best excuse for important members of the organization to gather resources. There must be people who work hard and contribute to the lighting plan, and they account for a large proportion. There is nothing left Those few people can corrode the organization itself bit by bit from the inside."

"Actually, my current mood is more or less indifferent to the lighting plan. Unlike you, I can always maintain my original mood. Of course, this is also the main reason why I am willing to be by your side all the time. I can't Just like you, so I can better understand the difficulty of maintaining it.”

"Thank you for the compliment." Hongmang responded politely.

"It's not a compliment, it's a kind of respect." Kingsley smiled. "In short, I am full of expectations for the meeting and discussion in ten days. In addition, I am also excited to see what Cassia will look like after entering the advanced stage. Point of interest.”

"You can have a friendly exchange of combat experience with him after the meeting on the grounds of helping with training." Hongmang suggested, "The results of the exchange can become an important reference for a period of time. Of course, in addition to this reason Besides, I also have curiosity and interest.”

"By the way," after talking about Cassia, Kingsley suddenly remembered something and changed the topic, "The Republic of the Far Sea, the Mechanical Dragon Project of Mr. Defoni, the King of Steel, the list of drivers of the Ultimate Dragon There should be Cassia's name in it. He definitely has something special. Maybe the reason why the Ultimate Dragon was added to the plan is Cassia."

Hongmang shook his head, "This involves a confidential issue of the alliance. Just like the mechanical island built by Deep Sea Ocean Company in the endless sea, the specific location, progress and other information will not be shared. Because just a name on the list can be revealed There is a lot of information. Rather than knowing the contents of this list, you should consider whether this list exists or not.”

Kingsley nodded and stopped talking, focusing on driving the limousine.

After a while, the silence was broken by red light. She suddenly asked Kingsley: "Are you sure your broken hand won't grow back? There isn't much time left for you to grow a new arm."

"My friend will give me one. After all, he was the one who cut it off in the first place. The core is made of Ultra Metal, and the rest is made of Ultra Alloy, a product from the Imperial Military Weapons Manufacturing Facility."

"Well, I'm still thinking about whether after this meeting, I want to ask Miss Hilary to contact Cassia on my behalf as a private request, and ask Cassia to contact Webley Arms Company to customize a new machine for you. Arms. In that case, forget it."

",,,"

"It's better not to forget it, one more is not a bad thing."

The southern forest, the kingdom of fog, the island in the sky above the tree of the new world.

Monikoloa, who was lying on a huge rock, opened his eyes and then looked up into the sky. The line of sight is blocked by the overlapping branches of the world, but it does not affect its perception of what it captures.

Immediately, it spread its wings, drove the hurricane, and flew towards the deep blue field along the trunk of the World Tree.
