That's weird no matter how you think about it...
It was less than ten minutes from the time the intruder appeared to the time Xion arrived. It was impossible for the terrorists to arrive here and lurk before then.
But Zhu Yue had no reason to lie about this kind of thing.
"Ah, it's so baffling!"
In order to vent his depression, this time he blew him to the sand pile on the right.
After seeing the sand pile on the left and the terrorists who were also driven out, Xion asked "Alert" to dodge upwards.
The number of invaders has been reduced by about half since their emergence, but the terrorists' equipment is basically still from the old era - that is, it is not designed against the invaders.
Coupled with being instigated by Xion, this is unexpected. Maybe it was because of the confusion, but in the blink of an eye, they were ravaged by the medium-sized Anachons.
As a result, when the follow-up troops of the human army arrived, almost all the terrorists were killed by the invaders. In this way, the follow-up troops annihilated the invaders, and the battle ended.
It just left a huge mystery in Theon's heart.
Chapter 3-The battle leaves a mystery ②-
Theon, who returned to "Mistolstan" from the north of the city, went straight to the bridge and reported the situation of the battle directly to Ajid, who was sitting on the captain's seat wearing casual clothes when going out.
"...In other words, the terrorists moved to your side earlier than you and lurked?"
"Is such that."
Although Xion answered Ajid's question calmly, after hearing his words, Ajid's expression truly showed his disbelief.
Anna and Misty, who were sitting nearby, also looked at Xion with similar expressions.
"That's what I said, but from the moment I showed up to the time you went to the scene, didn't it just take a blink of an eye?"
"Yeah, I think it took about ten minutes."
"...So far, we haven't confirmed whether the terrorist's mobile armor is equipped with a flying unit. Do you think a mobile armor that can't even fly can get to Anno before 'Alato'?"
"It's because I don't want to, that's why I have such a headache."
Generally speaking, terrorists with only old-style equipment cannot have the skills Anna mentioned.
However, it has been done as a fact...
Needless to say Ajit and the others, even Theon himself who explained this couldn't fully believe this fact.
"...It's actually like this, so it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What's important is how it's done."
Xiaojing gave the order, and the four of them began to think independently.
"First, terrorists usually lurk in desert areas and are dispersed to some extent. Once there is an abnormal reaction, they will act quickly."
"Indeed, this is a feasible method based on their equipment, but it is impossible for terrorists to have enough personnel and aircraft to cover the vast desert."
"If it was done by the human army, it would be okay, but if it was done by a terrorist organization, it would be terrible."
Mist and Anna rejected Theon's idea without hesitation. Being told this was true, so Xion could only accept it immediately.
"Second, you didn't want to take the lead, but you discovered that the troops lurking nearby to monitor the city happened to be at the scene, so you waited for an opportunity to attack?"
"...Although it can't solve any problems, I think this is the most realistic."
"No, if it is urban reconnaissance, there is no reason to take out mobile armors. There are also a lot of mobile armors, so they should not be reconnaissance troops."
Facing Misty, who was slightly more understanding, Akide pointed out calmly.
Although they were indeed easily defeated by the invaders, I felt that this was a force that was ready for battle.
"...Thinking about it this way, there is no evidence in this pre-investigation so far, right?"
"Yeah...even if it's not a reconnaissance unit, it's possible that I happened to find a unit lurking nearby for other purposes..."
The countless surprise attacks so far have not reached the same conclusion as this preemptive strike.
For example, in order to do something in conjunction with tomorrow's ceremony, it is possible to hide on the outskirts of the city from now on.
"...I knew it was like this, I knew it was like this, I knew it was like this, I knew it was like this."
"No, even arresting the terrorists may be useless, because the members captured so far do not seem to have leaked any intelligence."
If they were allowed to live alone, they might be able to tell the information. Xiaojing thought that things seemed not that simple.
"Even if I can't vomit with other people's hands, if it's my own..." This thought flashed through my mind, but I am not good at reading memory and mind magic, and if I do something too dangerous, it will trigger the human army warning, so it’s better to give up.
"Unfortunately, there is too little information to draw conclusions from?"
After listening to Aki's words, the three of them could only nod.
In fact, no matter how you say it, it is just speculation. If you hold on to poor stereotypes, you run the risk of straying far away from the truth.
At least it's better not to think too much about it now.
"Istar, finally I want to say a possibility."
"what?"
It was obvious that he proposed it, but for some reason, Aki showed some hesitation.
He glanced at Misty and spoke slowly.
“Is it possible for terrorists to cooperate with others?”
The unexpected question surprised everyone except Xiaojing and was speechless.
"If what happened this time was accidental, it would be acceptable. But if terrorists did it intentionally, I don't think it can be done using ordinary methods."
"...So, maybe it has something to do with outside magic?"
"I also think this idea is too simple."
Ajit seemed to have no confidence at all and just thought so based on intuition, but Xion felt his eyes light up.
"No, I think it's entirely possible."
"is it possible?!"
"Of course, just like people have all kinds of things, there are also all kinds of things outside of people."
Anna was quite surprised, but the "outsiders" "Mistolstan" met only occasionally had a favorable impression of humans. Of course, there were also "outsiders" who were not like this.
Such people are likely to aid terrorists who oppose the human army.
"Assuming that's the case, do you have any clues about this incident?"
"...Unfortunately, I don't know much. Basically everything..."
At least before the surprise attack, he didn't feel anything strange.
There is a strange smell of filth this time, but since An's luck cannot deal with filth, it can be considered as another problem.
"If you can think of it at once, it is...predicting the location of the intruder in advance through methods such as future vision or divination, and predicting it in advance?"
"To come up with such an outrageous method so easily..."
"Actually, there are people who can do it."
Of course, there are very few people who can imitate and predict the future with perfect accuracy, but it is by no means lawless to narrow down the time and place of occurrence to a few patterns using only the Yadong region.
However, this is only a possibility. The actual method used is uncertain.
It's not surprising that this was achieved by an unheard of method that even Theon couldn't have predicted.
"... Got it. Tell the person in charge of the base and your superiors about this possibility. ... There will be a ceremony tomorrow, you can go back."
As a result, the conversation on the bridge ended without any conclusion.
Although he knew there was nothing he could do about it, he still left bridge with an unhappy mood.
In the center of the largest city in Asia, brand new high-rise buildings stand.
On the top floor of the building known as the Yadong Central Building, a ceremony to commemorate the building's completion will be held today.
The central tower built on the basis of contributions from countless countries in the East Asia region and sharing of human military technology is not for commercial purposes, but for political facilities.
Although it has just been completed and has played almost no role, one day, high-level officials from various countries in Asia and East will be stationed here as an activity base to strengthen overall cooperation and further development in Asia and East.
(How should I put it, we have come to an inappropriate place again...)
Regarding what is going on in this central building, Xion came to the only conclusion after reorganizing it in his mind.
Theon is now in the party hall on the top floor of the building.
