Chapter 1108: Outsider (23)

This did not make Croni feel much at ease. The only thing he felt was Patrick's strength. He was much stronger than himself, and no one could be worse than the assessment. Before the assessment of the Knights' attendants began, they had a selection in advance, and the last group of people could be qualified to participate.

Croni was not listed here and was brushed off during the last screening. He heard about the Knights' Assessment by those who have participated in the Assessment. He knew more about the strength of those ferocious creatures, so he had a rough judgment on Patrick's strength.

During the nearly two hours of the journey, Croni continued to explain the situation of the mercenaries and bounty hunters. Several of them gave a key introduction, and it also explained that the king's forces would send reinforcements.

"Mechanized transformation? It is indeed a rare method to improve strength. Perhaps only countries in this area are using this method." After hearing this, Patrick spoke. The people next to him interrupted, "In this way, you should pay attention to close combat and not have too much physical contact with them. Compared with alloys, the strength is much worse. In terms of response methods, it depends on the captain's meaning."

"We need to leave someone to interrogate, and our individual mission is related to the king's power."

"Okay, after the past, I will immediately configure the corresponding biological agent. As Croni said just now, the surgeons here have hardly ever conducted surgical development projects. I think there are numerical defects in some basic surgical capabilities. I probably think of which drug to use, and it may have a good effect."

The merchandise arrived at their temporary base in Occam soon after.

The temporary base is opposite the base of Phoenia and others. It is also a residential house with a similar number of floors, which is very easy to observe. Patrick and Occam and Janet said a few words politely, then went to the window, opened the curtains a little, and looked at the opposite side. In his perception, more than a dozen basic human-shaped heat sources were either moving or still, and now they appeared in Patrick's head.

"You said that starting from tonight, the other party's reinforcements could come at any time?" Patrick returned to the table in the living room, where there was a map. The positions of Phoenia and others were surrounded by more than thirty red dots in the center. "These red dots are the people who are hidden? If so, let them evacuate immediately."

Seeing the puzzled expressions of several people, Patrick explained: "Since you want to capture larger prey, you must be willing to put longer lines and set up more attractive bait. Don't worry about the bait running away. Croni has told me about the approximate strength of the mercenaries on the other side, and I can guarantee that none of them can escape. This move is just to deal with the possible Imperial Surgeons on the enemy."

Occam and Janet looked at each other before nodding at each other. The retreat order was quickly transmitted through the radio signal, and after a few minutes, all the personnel evacuated.

"It is difficult to find a way to intercept the other party's radio signal, but if the other party is not on guard, it will be much easier. Besides, they don't know that we are right next to you and will not be so vigilant." Patrick said to the four people he brought, "The configuration of the potion must be accelerated. Som, wait for the building opposite and walk around and touch the environment. Croni, Mr. Occam, Miss Janet, and you will leave the observation to you."

When the few people gathered in the living room again, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Patrick said he went out to touch the building opposite, but in fact he had been wandering around the entire gathering place before returning. So far, there was no sign of reinforcement. The potion was debugged in a few hours, and the radio signal could not be completely intercepted, but some words could be heard in the other party's communication.

From the evening to now, the other party has only communicated with others twice. No valid information was obtained, and it was all useless information to help bring some specific things. He did his own thing slowly, and Patrick asked Som and Croni to take turns monitoring the opponent with temperature perception, and then began to wait.

During this period, he was also checking the information provided to him by Okam, and the description of the other party's imperial surgeon was much more careful. At about three in the morning, a communication came from the headquarters.

"Mr. MacDonald." Patrick said politely, "It's only been a few hours. It takes time to investigate which person the other party is."

"Yes, remember to be careful. You understand that this is not within the empire, and the support will not be convenient. In addition, according to the clues disclosed by unknown personnel, I already have the general information of the doctor who helped Charlottes with plastic surgery. I think you can start work soon. Before that, you'd better do your best to solve the things in Croni's hands. I don't expect you to be dragged by other things at that time. If possible, when the clues on my side are clear, you will also take someone to your side."

After the communication was disconnected, Patrick routinely asked about the situation in the opposite room. There was no exception, which was the answer from Som and Croni.

This state lasted until the afternoon of the next day. At that time, Som was constantly observing. In the temperature display, a person with a slightly different temperature than ordinary people walked into the opposite floor. The observer next to him said that he was an ordinary man, probably the resident here.

First, he went straight to the tenth floor and stayed there for half an hour. The temperature perception showed that he was just standing in the corridor and had no other actions. When the man came down, he walked out of the elevator on the third floor and passed by the door of the group of mercenaries. Then he left straight away.

The situation was told to Patrick and Occam and others halfway through. By the time the man left, one of the four people brought by Occam and Patrick had already followed the man.

"I said that we will continue to determine the information on the map." Harrington said with the information that was still at the door just now, "The support has arrived, but we cannot meet immediately at present. Let the two meet with us first to help investigate the matter. If we need weapon support, we can go here to check it out." After that, Harrington expanded the two maps in the information, one was the mine topographic map after the update of the information, with many red circles on it and detailed notes. The other was a map of the gathering town, and a repair shop was circled, and the equipment resources that came were all there.

"The two people who met were in the repair shop, saying that there was still some information they needed to meet before they could tell us." Harrington continued his words, "Then decide tonight, half of the people went over and half were staying here."

Phinia sat in the living room, not knowing what to do. Harrington and others left in the afternoon. At this moment, there was a gray night outside, and lights were lighted up everywhere. She wanted to sort out the investigation information she was about to send to the client, but suddenly she was in a state of no mood. Her mind was always thinking about the sentence "Continue to confirm the information on the map" that Harrington said during the day.

This means that in the next few days, they will go to the old mining area again. Finite was resistant in his heart. The situation that night had a great impact on her, and it was not bad to say that the psychological shadow that cannot be removed for the time being.

I was already a little scared. Phinia had already found her brother Gers in the past few days and tactfully asked whether to give up the entrustment. Everyone had experienced the dangers they encountered during the first investigation, and the subsequent actions would only be more difficult. The bounty of 50 million is indeed difficult to match.

Phinia didn't know if Gers had heard his intention, but she still didn't respond in the past few days. At this time, she sighed, Phinia stood up and poured a glass of water to drink, and a crisp knocking sound came from the door of the room. The knocking sound of the door without a fixed frequency made the person who stayed in the room instantly alert. After picking up the weapon and finding the cover in a short time, a man spoke: "Who?"

"Miss Phinia should be inside, right? It's me, Soriatu." Cassia said standing at the door.

"I didn't see my face clearly, and the light affected my vision. But according to temperature perception, it should be one of the few people out." Som finished handing over with the observer beside him and told Patrick the situation.

Without replying immediately, Patrick immediately asked Croni to contact the person who was stalking. The next moment, there was a response from there. The few people who went out tonight were all together, and at this moment, he was sorting out the equipment transported by the king's forces in a repair shop. Okam was still following, but Patrick still sent a message to his people. The answer was that the personnel were not lost, but he seemed to know that someone would follow him, but he didn't know where the person was stalking. He could only rely on aimless circles to try to get rid of them.

"I get it." Patrick hung up the communication and developed temperature sensing at the same time. The temperature was almost the same as the other few people, and there was nothing special about it.

"Captain, do you want it," Som suggested at this time, "The other party plus this man is only seven, I promise to bring them to see you within two minutes."

"You will have a chance to perform shortly afterwards, but not at this moment. The other party's support has arrived, but this way of meeting means that they are very vigilant, probably because they know something. Don't attack them before getting the positions of all the support personnel. This man may be an Imperial surgeon, and he will come here, which is very consistent with the time of support. Just like we come to help Croni."

"Croni, choose someone, go,,,," Patrick stopped halfway, "Forget it, I think it's better for you to follow yourself. If this man leaves, you'll follow you and see if you can get anything."

Croni nodded, as a response.

At the same time, Cassia sat into the living room with unwelcome eyes, ignoring these gazes. He looked at the opposite side through the thick curtain in front of him, smiling. "The opposite side is probably looking at himself in some form." He thought. Seeing Phinia staring at him, Cassia nodded slightly and asked Harrington how long it would take for them to come back.

"Unsure." Finia thought for a while and said, "Mr. Soriatu, how did you find us?" This was also the question of several other people in the living room. Cassia shrugged, "I said that I am also a member of the king's power. This kind of information is enough to ask your client. It's just that you don't want to believe it."

Knowing that it would not dispel the doubts in these people's hearts, Cassia didn't want to talk much. He came here tonight just to see the reinforcements sent by the king's forces and talk to their captain. Just looking at the situation in the living room, the idea seemed not easy to achieve. But a good thing, at least, shows that the information released by Waters was indeed accepted by the officials of the king's forces and aroused their vigilance.

But the king's power was very slow, and it was really helpless when it came to internal wars. The map had been improved a lot by Cassia, but he knew that it would be difficult to rely on the people in front of him to determine these information one by one. So he discussed with Hesler, and with the arrival of reinforcements, Cassia wanted to find their captain directly, such as walking again where he had been before. Cassia took the captain of the reinforcements to determine these one by one.

There are still mercenaries in the reinforcement team, but most of them are already from the king's own forces. In fact, they can be seen faster than the speed of investigation and progressing like this little bit.

But the main reason for choosing this approach was that Cassia was worried about the imperial surgeons in the rebellious forces. After the reinforcements of the king's forces arrived, the situation in the mining area would be pushed to a gradually fierce state. Cassia was afraid that the imperial surgeons among them would call for support behind them. Until now, he didn't know who the other party was and what purpose he came here. He really wanted to catch someone to ask carefully. Although he could throw the cause to the king's forces after taking action, the impact of death would definitely not be good, unless the king's forces were sure to take major actions. At this moment, Cassia almost sorted out the relationship network between the two parties with the standpoint of bystanders. If he could not interfere, he would let them develop freely.

Besides, watching the two parties interact, Cassia can still get useful information from it. She has always remembered Charlottes's affairs, which Cassia tried her best to avoid contact. Before fully clarifying the relationship between these people, Cassia thought that she could be an information provider.

When Harrington and the others came back to see Cassia, they were also full of vigilance. It was not until Harrington contacted the reinforcements and Cassia took the sound tube and said simply "the location of the steam furnace" that the other side told Harrington that Cassia's identity was not abnormal. During the communication, Cassia and the captain of the reinforcements also agreed on the time and place of meeting.

He left Phinia and the others at an early morning, and Cassia got rid of the person following him and found a hotel nearby to stay in.

On the other hand, the captain of the reinforcement team, Wimmer, fell into deep thought after the communication. The call not long ago made him believe that the other party was the person who had been providing information to them, the armor, the map of the mine, and the air defense base that was transmitted to him through the headquarters not long ago.

But it is still the unsolved problem. Why do we need to provide this information? Why do we need to help the king's forces? After thinking too much, some people regard it as a trap plan of the rebel forces. They rely on some unimportant or relatively unimportant information to cause confusion, and finally let themselves voluntarily step into the trap.

But with the real-time update of maps and messages, not only others, but also Wimmer began to doubt themselves. Targets such as air defense bases will be used as bait, and the rebel forces are a little too confident about their trap plans.
