"...Xion, what happened to you?"
During a meeting in the briefing room of "Mistolstan" before heading to location five, she suddenly noticed Anna staring worriedly at Theon.
"Well, I didn't doze much."
"If he had dozed off, I wouldn't have woken him up so gently."
I teased a little, but was answered coldly.
"Ah, this guy was either punched or kicked." Xion reacted immediately.
"Ah, I'm a little worried."
"…………"
Misty looked at me suspiciously after just saying what she was thinking.
Now he no longer bites people. It seems that Xiaojing's repeated preaching has worked.
"(The source of the suspicious smell...isn't it)"
Because she had fully understood that this was a form of hostility before talking about the smell, Zhu Yue did not specifically come to give advice.
Zhu Yue didn't seem to be talking about Mist.
In this case, it should be other people. There are an outrageous number of people in the human army who have no good feelings for Xion. Just thinking about it is troublesome.
In other words, Zhu Yue should also understand this, so half of his advice was to tease Xion.
(…don’t think too much)
Xion is not a fool, so he often deploys magic defense walls to protect himself.
Although not as powerful, it is still stronger than those immortal and white things, and can withstand even being hit by an anti-tank rifle at zero range.
In other words, if someone in the human army wants to take action against Xion, the normal approach will not cause any harm.
Now that the defense is in place, the only thing left to do is to wait until it is breached and then think of a solution.
"If it's okay, I can continue."
Nodding at Anna's confirmation, she looked towards the table integrated with the monitor in the center of the briefing room.
Displayed on the screen is the map of the fifth point, most of which are light blue.
"The last point of appearance is the lake, and the coordinates of the appearance are below the surface, that is, inside the lake."
"You mean the fish or aquatic type?"
An Naiyun was actually not breathing.
Therefore, even intruders that look like wolves or birds can move around in the water. Although they are not intelligent, they will not deliberately appear in an environment that they are not good at.
Since it appears in the lake, it must be a type that specializes in activities in the water.
"Because it hasn't been confirmed yet, I can't say for sure, but it should be so."
"However, there are also cases where ghosts with the ability to become invisible suddenly appear, or it may be a different type of ghost than before."
Akite followed Anna calmly, showing caution, and Theon nodded.
In fact, the recent movements of the invaders seemed a bit strange to Xion, who had some knowledge.
One must always take into account past instances and the possibility of new existences that even Theon's knowledge could not predict.
"According to the battle plan, the 'assault' will be carried out first, to conduct detection and confirm whether there are any accidents. If there is any accident, attack directly. If not, investigate the surrounding area."
"That's okay... assuming you are lucky enough, it will be in the water, right? The weapons of 'Shallow Sea' are not suitable for fighting in the water."
The "Asahi" body also ensures airtightness that allows it to move in water. However, the performance of the optical system's armament is extremely poor in water.
Both the "Light Schneider" and the "Dragon Sword" held by "Abbott" are optical weapons, so they are very inconsistent.
Typically, specialized armed or live weapons are used when fighting invaders in or out of the water, but how many of these preparations the ship had Theon didn't know.
"I asked you to make preparations for this in advance. If we attack with additional weapons, we don't have to deal with Asami itself, so no one will say no."
"Ah, so the test machine can't do anything other than minimal maintenance? How silly."
"I mean it!"
Anna expresses her dissatisfaction with the bad words spoken by the upper class, giving people a feeling that "there is no solution from the standpoint".
"Chief of Staff Rastel! Is your attitude towards your superiors too bad?!"
"Thanks to that senior executive, no one except Theon was able to react correctly, and the three members of the Mobile Armor Force were exposed to danger without sensors. Wouldn't it be polite not to negotiate directly?"
"Really."
Anna's response to Misty, who was chasing after her, was fine, but the voice of a third person mixed in made Theon stop.
It was okay to have one more person in the conversation just now, but not to Theon.
In any case, the other person is someone you don't want to meet if possible.
"Long wait, Squad Leader Black Rock."
"Really? Sorry, I'm late."
Genzo Kuroiwa is the squad leader of the Thirteenth Skill Class.
That's one of the people Theon is trying to avoid.
Moreover, he is also the famous "Thunder Dad" among the human army technicians...
(Isn’t this a guy who can thunder?)
Gu Feng hated the twisted Yuan Xiang, and it was impossible not to be angry when Xion, who had taken care of him for a long time, suddenly distanced himself inexplicably.
And what Xion knew about him was that he was still a man who got angry when he should be angry, no matter when he was in a meeting.
Although he was talking to Anna now, it wouldn't be surprising if he would roar at Xion the next moment.
Although it didn't show on his expression, Xion was trembling inside.
But unexpectedly, Yuan San did not say anything to Xion, but began to explain the battle plan.
"The 'Assault' itself can also operate in the water, but it is not specifically designed for underwater warfare. In order to be able to fire live ammunition on the water, we have prepared a sniper rifle."
"Theon's shooting skills are terrible, can you follow up?"
"I will install parts for aiming correction on the rifle. Although it is not guaranteed to hit the target, as long as I have that, no matter how bad the situation is, it can be solved."
(Although I was treated as an idiot, I couldn’t interrupt...)
If he accidentally interrupts, Gensan's consciousness will turn this way.
Anyway, I would be very grateful to have a rifle to assist me.
And as long as one side of the rifle is modified, the "morning" itself does not need to be modified, so there is no need to worry about objections from above.
If something like this could be done on a larger scale, people with invisibility abilities could be tracked besides Aster...
"How long does it take to prepare?"
"The preparations are over. All that remains is for 'Alert' to come out with the rifle during the attack."
"It helped a lot."
Ah Jing's confirmation made Ah Yuan answer smoothly. The speed of work is amazing.
Akid nodded at his answer, cleared his throat, and turned his gaze to Theon.
"...Then, just reach the destination at the current speed and start fighting after arriving. If we set off from the current position, it will take less than two hours. Istar will start preparations immediately."
"yes!"
It’s great to be told “immediately” by Xiaojing here.
Since there is a possibility of being caught by Genta at the end of the meeting, it’s better to leave quickly based on Akide’s instructions.
He ran out of the briefing room and walked down the corridor at a speed that didn't look suspicious.
Genzo didn't seem to catch up.
In response, Theon sighed and continued walking forward, but the moment he passed a certain cabin, the door opened.
Hearing the sound of the door sliding, Theon turned over reflexively, and what he saw was a big gloved hand.
The straight outstretched hand grabbed Theon's shoulder and pulled him into the room.
Although he could use magic, Theon, who was thin and frail, was gently pulled in and then pressed onto a bed that seemed to be used for naps in the cabin.
Although the room was dark, you could still see the face of the person pressing on your shoulder.
To Theon, it was a familiar face, and he roughly guessed the situation.
"Daryl, please. Theon, please don't mess around."
It wasn't Daryl Backus, the man holding Xion down with a slightly apologetic look on his face, but Sydney Kroyva standing next to him, giving instructions tactfully.
It was not impossible to get rid of him, but Xion had no intention of harming anyone in the Thirteenth Skill Class.
"...I won't run away, so why don't you give up this posture first?"
Theon raised his hands in surrender and sighed.
