"Indeed, there are so many small and poor towns and villages to look for..."
This may seem extremely rude to the people who live in that land, but in fact such places do exist.
If Theon is to be believed, these would seem to be more attractive feeding grounds for the invaders.
"But, if that's the case, why is it here?"
"I don't know. Istar also tilted his head..."
The vague Xiaojing seemed to be worried about whether she should continue talking.
Judging from past interactions, Xiaojing was completely unsure of what she was going to say next.
"I know you're not sure, but don't waste your time and tell me."
If he strikes first, as expected, Ajid hesitates and speaks.
"Let me state first that I know nothing about what happened in the concentration. In addition, there is one more thing I care about."
"What else do you care about?"
"I think the terrorists' actions are so pointless."
The terrorists' actions must have been a surprise attack on the human army when the dark cloud appeared. The meaning of the phrase "nothing is wasted" is confusing.
"Anna, how do you think they acted during the raid?"
"That's right... After detecting the reaction of the intruder, move to the location where the human army is fighting while being careful not to get caught by the searching enemies."
Although a little too simplistic, the raid itself is simple. Since there is no need to make a fuss, this prediction should be correct.
"I thought so at first, but recently I've lost a bit of confidence."
"Why?" I motioned him with my eyes to continue, and Ajit displayed several data on the tablet at hand.
After a quick glance, I knew that it was the data on the combat effectiveness of the terrorists in the raid operations so far.
The same was true in the first encounter. The troops were composed of several old mobile armors and a slightly larger number of small tanks. It could be seen that they were not just a mob, but were controlled accordingly.
"It seems like he has quite a wealth of weapons..."
"Many of the terrorists in Yadong have defected from the old army. But what I care about is not this, but the number of attacks at one time."
Her tone was a little different from what Anna said, silently urging her to continue.
"Even if you weren't alert during the first sneak attack, there's nothing you can do about it, but after the second time you didn't notice so many approaches. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Didn't you say that they spent a lot of effort on interference?"
"Having said that, the other party is using an old machine. It shouldn't be able to easily get through our sensors, which are several levels higher in performance, especially when the number moves over."
In this way, it is indeed what Xiaojing said.
I reflected that my vision was too narrow, and I only noticed the bad luck, but failed to realize the existence of terrorists.
"So... where did the terrorists get the latest jamming device?"
"Although we can't say for certain, this is the most realistic possibility."
If this is the case, it is difficult to imagine that terrorists alone can complete research and development.
External people and institutions - in the worst case scenario, there are people within the human military who steal the technology and sell it to terrorists.
"I was already very busy, and with the disputes between people..."
"Well... although the human army says that outsiders are barbaric, I think they are actually more gentle."
So far, the people Anna and others have come into contact with, including Theon, have been very gentle towards other races, including humans.
Witches provided wisdom and supplies. Even the hummingbird, which has always adopted a high-pressure attitude, has no intention of attacking humans, and even helps in the battle.
Not everyone is like this.
But even so, it is still a more peaceful creature than humans of the same race who are constantly at war.
Anna could only nod to Aki's idea.
Although the atmosphere became very quiet, I had said all I needed to say about my work.
"Xiaojing, if you can, how about a drink?"
"Again abrupt."
"What does it have to do with it occasionally? I won't say it anymore. You haven't had a good rest since you came out of the seventh artificial island, right?"
"...Is it Lambda?"
"Imagine it for yourself."
Finally, Ajit nodded to Anna's proposal. Probably because he sensed that he was worried about continuing to work with almost no rest.
Ajit Mijian is a person who will not hinder the good intentions of long-term friends.
Since they couldn't drink in the captain's room, the two of them went to the neighboring private room of Ajid.
As if she had been waiting for a long time, Anna took out a few small bottles of wine from the small bag she had brought with her from the beginning. Akid looked at her with an indescribable look, but she placed the wine on the table without caring. On the table, cups are ready.
Probably because he had given up on Anna like that, Aki quickly placed some snacks on the table, and the two people sitting across the table started a small banquet.
"However, I didn't expect it to be so neatly tidied up. I thought it would be more messy."
Aki seems to be a very stable man, but he is surprisingly lazy.
Especially in private life, this tendency is particularly obvious. Since my student days, my private room has often been messy, but this private room seems to be completely different, it is neatly tidied.
"Do you think you will bring someone else here?"
Anna said this half-jokingly, but in fact it was just a joke.
Due to his tall appearance and configuration, Ajid is very popular with women, but he himself is very slow in this regard.
It's impossible for him to bring people here every night.
If something like that really happened, Anna would first suspect that Yaji was in poor health or that it was a sign of a collapse.
"Oh, yes."
Because of this, there was nothing he could do about choking after hearing Aki's answer.
Anna choked suddenly. Anna worriedly put her hands on the table and leaned forward, approaching Aki.
"Who?! Who did you bring?! A child I know?!"
"Ah, that, why are you so surprised?"
"You will definitely be shocked!? You are so stupid that you brought someone into the room!"
"Didn't you just get brought in?"
Perhaps due to Anna's influence, Ajit's tone became closer and closer to his student days, but this was no longer a big problem. What matters most is who you bring.
"Also, you seem to have misunderstood something. I didn't bring a woman in?!"
"The person who cleans the room shouldn't be someone like Lambda, right? He won't be targeting boys..."
"No! Istar! Istar!"
"...Eh? Xion?"
The heated conversation suddenly calmed down because of Aki's answer.
"When I have time, under the banner of "Renwai Social Lectures", I listen to some stories about 'other worlds' and Renwai."
"Ah, maybe it's the map just now?"
"Um."
While Ah Jing was drinking, she looked at Anna in surprise who was enjoying herself and immediately calmed down.
Although he knew that he did not bring a woman, he would be in trouble if he brought Xion, a magician with a complicated identity and a beautiful-looking underage boy, into his room.
"So, haven't you heard what Istar said?"
"No, this is the first time I've heard of it."
"Really? I thought he would tell you."
Not even telling Anna, Xion probably understands the trouble of information leakage.
It seems that Aki should not care about taking her into his room.
(The fewer people you talk to, the better...)
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's probably about the child. I accidentally didn't tell him."
Anna found it too troublesome to explain in detail and decided to prevaricate.
Moreover, in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, the subject will be quickly changed.
"And what? Do you and Theon get along?"
"I don't know the standard for whether it's done well or not, but it should be pretty good, right?"
To her, the two seemed to have a pretty good relationship, but if she said she saw it from the outside, she might keep her distance.
In the eyes of the surrounding human troops, it is not good for the two of them to be too close. There is nothing they can do about it, but now is not the time to put the brakes on.
