Chapter four hundred and eighteen the night before
Under the round sunglasses is a pair of eyes full of caution and obedience.
Every time a ray of light flashes through the pupils behind the sunglasses, a glance will always inadvertently look at the silver-haired man sitting in front of him.
Leonard.
The man who already controls half of Amalgam has become Krama's immediate boss.
Therefore, Karama had to leave the city he had been running for a long time, followed the order and came to the area specially designated by Leonard, waiting for Lei Mingkai's summons.
"Krama."
While Karama was thinking about various scenarios that might happen, the silver-haired man sitting by the window turned his head slightly and looked at Karama's pair of round sunglasses.
"Yes, Lord Leonard. Please give me your instructions."
There was no hesitation or hesitation. The moment Leonard's voice fell, Karama had already responded.
Kramer's reaction satisfied Leonard.
The death of MR.AU certainly gave Leonard the opportunity to recruit half of the Amalgam forces, but at the same time, the stand-in for "MR.AU" launched by Lei Mingkai also made a grand appearance at this opportunity.
While this effortless gesture regained the power of the original MR.AU, it also caused Leonard to encounter some obstacles when integrating other forces.
Kramer's respectful gesture at this moment really satisfied Leonard, who had spent a lot of effort on the collection work.
"Karama, you don't have to go back. Just stay here!"
What surprised Kramer was that Leonard actually said something to keep him from going back to his own territory.
this,
Is this a power grab?
No.
Kramer is not stupid. On the contrary, his thinking is very flexible.
After Leonard said those words, the relevant information stored in Karama's mind continued to emerge from the depths of his memory like a revolving lantern. Taking Leonard's words as a guide, in just a few seconds, Karama
I made a rough guess.
"Lord Leonard, are you saying that the city has fallen?"
Kramer did not dare to be arbitrary and could only carefully obtain the answer from Leonard.
"Well. That knight moved very quickly. On the day you left, that knight had already sent people into your city."
Although Leonard's words were very light and plain, the cold sweat on Karama's forehead couldn't help but fall down.
"Lord Leonard..."
Leonard raised his right hand, waved it, and chuckled:
"Krama doesn't have to worry about this. The loss of that city has already been expected."
With that said, Leonard stood up from the chair, walked to Karama, and patted his shoulder.
"Karamar, do you know why I called you back at this time? This is because our next actions are crucial. Mithril, and even the knight thought that he would remove our stronghold in the Western Pacific.
After that, Mithril Headquarters will be safe and sound."
"Although this is normal strategic thinking, Mithril and the knight did not expect that we do not need any stronghold in the Western Pacific."
Karama, who became more and more frightened as he listened, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Is this a face-to-face teaching session?
Leonard's laughter rang in Karama's ears.
Obviously, Kramer's perception is correct.
"Haha. Karama, don't be nervous. Now, we are about to launch a general attack on Mithril. It's time for this tug-of-war to end."
In Leonard's words, unable to think about how to deal with Karama who lost his stronghold in the Western Pacific, he just nodded slowly.
"Yes. Lord Leonard."
After encouraging Krama, who had lost his territory and became lonely again, Leonard let him leave on his own and prepared for the follow-up mission according to his orders. However, he watched Krama disappear behind the gradually closing door.
At this time, Leonard did not return to his seat. Instead, he turned around and came to the wine rack. While selecting red wine, he said:
"Your Excellency MR.J. Since you are here, why don't you come out and see me?"
"Haha. Lord Leonard's intuition is still so sharp."
The shadow flashed, and the clown face that Leonard had long been accustomed to appeared in front of the window - the always elusive MR.J.
"MR.J Your Excellency's abilities are truly remarkable. I'm just a little used to your behavior."
Leonard raised the wine glass in his hand, as if asking the man standing in front of the window if he would like a drink too.
However, the clown remained unmoved.
He just shook his head lightly and then bent slightly towards Leonard.
"Sir Leonard, I came today to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell? Mr.J, where are you going?"
Leonard put the wine glass to his lips for a moment, and then looked at the clown's face that couldn't see the true expression behind the white foundation.
"Yes! Dear Lord Leonard, my mission here has ended."
"mission?"
Leonard put down his wine glass and frowned slightly.
"Are they the seven sins that you mentioned before? Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and cruelty?"
"As you expected. I have found the cruelty I expected here. Therefore, it is time for me to leave here and embark on a journey to continue searching for the other six sins."
MR.J.
If his current face wasn't a clown, he might be a polite and elegant young man.
"maltreat?"
Leonard pondered for a moment, then laughed.
"Is it Kowloon? I didn't expect you to be able to grasp your evaluation of Kowloon so accurately. Cruel, haha. It seems that Kowloon has lived his life in vain!"
After a pause, Leonard asked.
"So, what about me? Sir MR.J, which crime do you think I will be guilty of?"
Leonard's question made MR.J silent for a moment.
"arrogant!"
After a moment of silence, MR.J's answer once again made Leonard laugh loudly.
"Hahahaha!!! You have a keen eye! Mr. MR.J. That's right! This evaluation really suits me."
When Leonard faced this word that was not considered a good comment, he was not ashamed and angry, but accepted it readily.
Do you remember that during the previous meeting with Lei Mingkai, Leonard had made the same evaluation of Lei Mingkai, and even the existence of MR.J, MISS.Q and others.
"Then, does Mr. J also want to take me away? In the name of "arrogance"."
Leonard looked sharply at the clown standing in front of the window.
Under that razor-like gaze, MR.J's body did not move at all, and the white foundation on his face showed no signs of peeling off.
"This depends on your wishes."
This is MR.J's answer.
"Really? Then, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
Leonard raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around, took out the wine glass again, poured red wine into it, and handed it to MR.J.
"Your Excellency, this is a farewell drink prepared for you. How do you like it?"
MR.J raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the wine glass in Leonard's hand, and shook his head again.
"Thank you very much for your kindness! However, I cannot enjoy such beautiful things."
As the words fell, MR.J's figure flashed and disappeared behind the curtains rolled up by the breeze.
"Am I just arrogant? Interesting."
————————
Late at night 1:00AM.
The Sons of Danu, who are diving in the deep sea, are still busy.
Among them, Captain Teresa is the most important.
As the captain of the Sons of Danu, Teresa not only has to deal with various affairs of the Sons of Danu, but also handles various intelligence and tactics from the front line. Especially at this critical moment when the final battle for the power of Amalgam is about to be completed.
At that time, Theresa didn't even bother to rest and was busy day and night.
"Captain, you should go and rest for a while. Let me handle it here."
Looking at Theresa who was busy, Richard, who felt more and more distressed, couldn't help but suggest.
"No. Richard, I can still hold on for a while."
Obviously, Theresa was not willing to leave her post just now.
"Captain, it has been almost 48 hours since you started working. If you continue like this, you may be in danger of falling into a coma due to exhaustion of strength. Who will be in command of the Sons of Danu by then?"
Richard was extremely opposed to Theresa's insistence and refuted Theresa mercilessly.
"reason···"
The situation was just as Richard said. When Theresa subconsciously refuted Richard, her little head shook and she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Richard, who had quick eyesight and quick hands and was mentally prepared, helped Theresa.
"Captain, you don't need to hold on any longer! Now, our Mithril safety circle in the Western Pacific has been completed. You can go and rest."
Teresa knew that the current progress no longer required her to personally check it, but for some reason Teresa couldn't help but pay attention to things here. In the end, after many attempts, Teresa could not muster the strength again.
Leisha reluctantly chose to go back to her captain's cabin to rest.
Coincidentally, just when Theresa returned to the captain's room, a communication was connected to the encrypted channel of the Sons of Danu.
"Huh? Captain Teresa isn't on duty today?"
The young man who appeared on the screen briefly glanced at the people on the bridge and asked casually.
"Captain has gone to rest. Long time no see! Knight." After raising his hand in salute, Richard greeted him solemnly.
"Really? That's okay. You can also stay here. Lieutenant Colonel. Now Nance City has been under the control of Mithril. Our mission ends here. Now, we will officially report a piece of information to Mithril."
This young man is Lei Mingkai.
While bringing Nance City under control, the Geminis assigned by Lei Mingkai not only dealt with Fatty and his gang members, but also discovered some information from a basement.
Although this information did not specify who the target was, judging from the data on the circulation of many materials and the frequent transfer of personnel recorded in the request, the amalgam, no, it should be said that Leonard may have completed it.
Reorganization of the power in hand.
If that's the case, Leonard will definitely launch an offensive to seize the device underneath the Mithril headquarters.
"Will Leonard launch a surprise attack now that we have eliminated the land stronghold?"
The information obtained by Lei Mingkai made Richard think deeply.
Now, with the fall of Nance City, Amalgam no longer has the power to threaten Mithril's deployment in the Western Pacific. Even before that, it relied on the vast Pacific to hide some power, and I am afraid it cannot compete with Dan.
The sons of slaves compete with each other.
Under such circumstances, Richard really couldn't imagine what means Amalgam could use to send enough troops to the waters near Mithril's headquarters without Mithril's knowledge.
Regarding this point, Lei Mingkai did not make any suggestions, nor did he pay much attention to Richard's ideas.
All he did was pass the information to Danu's son, and let Danu's son handle and analyze it on his own.
As the communication was disconnected, Lei Mingkai's eyes moved away from the screen and met the eyes of Euphemia, who was paying attention to the situation here.
"Kay. Did you think of something?"
Euphemia keenly caught the trace of doubt in Lei Mingkai's eyebrows.
"Um."
Lei Mingkai didn't hide anything.
"Yuffie, do you still remember the tactics we used when we were in EU?"
"EU? Layla's Apollo chariot?"
Euphemia still has a vivid memory of the battle that was fought using re-entry technology.
"But, this world doesn't have that kind of technology, right?"
Lei Mingkai fell silent, and at the same time, he was quickly searching for information about all aspects of the Full Metal World in his mind.
really.
In Lei Mingkai's memory, except for the technological revolution caused by AS, the lambda drive system and the Whisperer, all other aspects of this world are similar to the real world. Therefore, the technology tree for developing outer space may not be too different.
.
In other words, it may be difficult to recreate Layla's "Apollo's Carriage" feat in this world.
but···
Under this consideration, if another unstable factor is introduced, Lei Mingkai feels that Leonard is very likely to launch an attack similar to "Apollo's Carriage".
Because this is currently the most effective and most unexpected way to catch Mithril off guard.
MISS.Q, or perhaps MR.J, these two ill-intentioned people may hand over certain technologies to Leonard to influence the course of the world in order to achieve their goals.
"It seems that we still have to focus on air defense."
The more he thought about the loopholes in this aspect, the more Lei Mingkai felt that Leonard's main attack direction was probably the blue sky above his head.
"But, in this case, wouldn't they fall into a battlefield besieged on all sides?" Euphemia was a little confused.
Lei Mingkai shook his head slightly.
"Yuffie Leonard has never thought of playing it safe. His goal from the beginning has been the device placed underground on Merida Island. As long as he can successfully seize the device before his troops are exhausted, then
, Leonard will inevitably be wicked and win in the end.”
"Seize the device? But the person who can activate the device is..."
