Watchtower.

Soldier Saaz and Soldier Roon are on the night watch on the watchtower.

"There is no movement over there tonight. Really, is it really necessary to do this kind of thing?" Saz yawned lazily.

"Hey, what do you take the task of standing guard for?" Roon gave his companion a helpless look. He knew that it would be difficult for this guy, Saz, to take back his words once he opened them.

Sure enough, Saz began to chatter: "Oh, you should also understand how I want to complain. Forget about Crossbell, it is impossible for a war to happen in such a remote place."

Luo Ang monitored and chatted correctly: "Don't jump to conclusions. Your Excellency the Lieutenant General also said that we must not relax our vigilance and not take it lightly."

"The problem now is not to relax our vigilance, but to increase our vigilance." Saz said, looking at the full set of equipment on his body, "Not only let us wear the latest protective gear, but also change the one-man duty into a team of two, General What are you thinking?"

At this moment, a ball of flames burst out from the familiar base on the opposite side, and thick black smoke could be vaguely seen.

"Hey, Saz, look over there!"

"Then, what's going on! Have you been bombarded?" Saz suddenly lost his sleepiness, "Which division is launching the attack?"

"How is it possible, I have never heard of such a thing! Huh, in short, please inform Jian Damen—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "swoosh", and a ball of fire approached quickly in a parabola. It was a shell!
The shell hit the surveillance tower, and the steel-reinforced tower shook suddenly.

However, the nightmare had just begun, and the next wave of attacks arrived, this time not one shell, but four.

When the crisis came, Saz knew how wise Lieutenant General Sykes' decision was.

The flames, black smoke, and the tragedy were exactly the same as those on the opposite side.

At about 3 a.m. that day, reports of the attack reached the ears of the generals on both sides.

All troops immediately entered a state of combat readiness, the soldiers were fully armed, the chariots were out of the warehouse, and the airships were launched into the air.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Soon, the Nord village also received a notice from "Jianda Gate". In order to avoid the possible war, the elders decided to move to the north.

The five people in Group A decided to go to "Jiandamen" immediately to learn about the situation.

When they arrived at "Jianda Gate", the [-]rd Mecha Division was gathering before the battle.Armored vehicles, chariots, and artillery lined up in front of the fort one by one, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Sykes, rode back and forth on horseback.

Seeing everyone coming, the lieutenant general ignored the pleasantries and directly asked them to take the train to Lulei in 30 minutes, away from right and wrong.

Although something is wrong, time is running out, and there is no time to investigate slowly. Both sides are ready to go to war.Avoiding all-out war is the best outcome if no one else intervenes.

However, "others" stood in front of Lieutenant General Sykes.

Gaius, who was always so calm, finally became serious, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he looked straight into Sykes' eyes: "—then, Lieutenant General, please leave this investigation to me. Sincerely As you know, there is no place in this area that I don't know about. I will definitely grasp the reason for this inexplicable 'event' that disturbed Nord's peace."

"Let us help, too."

"Because this can also be said to be part of "Special Internship"."

After last night's heart-to-heart talk, Li En and Alyssa's synchronization rate soared.

"No, wait a minute." Gaius turned around, "This is a question related to Nolde and my hometown. Before the war, even if it's just you, hurry up—"

"It's so strange, student Gaius." It was the gentlest Emma who interrupted.

"Bet on the name of the Al Barea family, I can't run away with my tail between my legs." Usses' pride would not allow him to abandon his comrades.

"Me too, after all, my family is here to bother you." Alyssa's reason was even more difficult to refuse.

"Also, Gaius, you yourself have said it at the Imperial Capital Station—'The most important thing is that everyone returns safely." Li En made a final decision.Among all these people, there is also you, and all members of Class VII must be missing.

Gaius was shocked! (That's a good word.)
"Hehe, have you lost to them, Gaius?" The friendship between the young people eased Sykes' serious face, "It is now 10:05, and I allow you to investigate until 12:30. Before that , and we will do our best to prevent the flames of war from igniting."

"Your Excellency, thank you very much!"

Looking at the backs of the young lions leaving, Sykes whispered to himself:
"Gaius and Leann Schwarzer. Maybe things will really turn around"

(PS: The news was passed on to Sykes by Mulla, and Li En's name never appeared from the beginning to the end, and the "Intelligence Bureau" is the same.)

I deeply love the land of my hometown.

The windswept plateau, the rolling mountains and the endless sky, the sacred sunrise, the sad sunset, and the twinkling night sky that embraces everything, I love the land of Nord.

In order to better protect the peace of my hometown, I chose to go out of my beloved hometown to get to know the outside world.

Thors Military Academy, this is where I studied abroad.

Here, I really learned about the world, but that's not the most important thing.

Most importantly, I met a group of the best classmates, the best companions, and the best comrades-in-arms.

When the land of Nord was about to be shrouded in flames of war, they stood behind me without hesitation, supported me, and encouraged me.

Therefore, I will definitely protect the peace of my hometown and find out the truth of the matter.

"Everyone, please take care of everything."

"Oh!"

————————————————————————————————————————

The watchtower that was just here yesterday is already filled with strange things today.

The soldiers stationed were still those, but the steel towers that could be used for surveillance were blackened, mottled and scarred.

Debris, steel shavings, and shrapnel were scattered everywhere, which was shocking.

Fortunately, no one was killed in the line of duty, and Ro Ang, who was the most injured, only had a broken left arm, which did not affect his actions.The soldier who was killed on the world line unfortunately but survived because of the butterfly wings of the traverser is cleaning up the debris with his comrades.

Facing the students who came to investigate, he revealed everything that happened last night and accompanied everyone to investigate.

The other soldiers stationed at the watchtower were also in a similar state. The fact that they had brushed shoulders with death made everyone realize the seriousness and cruelty of war, and they had to work hard to survive.

There are broken shell casings left on the platform. According to Alyssa, they are mortar shells produced by "RF Agency".

Observing the opposite base from the observation deck, I found that it was also seriously damaged.Collapsed houses, scattered equipment, and urgently dispatched troops all illustrate the reality of the loss.

The shells attacking the monitoring tower came from the south, and it is not difficult to find out that there is a big angle difference between the range of activities of the Republic Army and the Republic Army.

And from Ro Ang and Saz, who were on guard yesterday, they learned that both sides received the attack at the same time, at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Based on the above doubts, Jusses put forward a bold conjecture: "The biggest possibility is - a force that does not belong to any party. A certain state of tension is often maintained between the Empire and the Republic, although the Nord Plateau is no more politically significant than other The place is quite peaceful, but this tranquility has been broken."

His conjecture seemed to be an opportunity, an opportunity to connect all the clues together.

Alyssa of the arms merchant started to play: "The shelling of the surveillance tower itself is also unnatural, that is, it is used to attack weapons. The attack is likely to be the "RF Society" guided mortar, not the Republic. The weapons equipped by the army. After all, they have the Urnu company that is not inferior to the "RF Society", not to mention that this old-style weapon has been eliminated by the imperial military, unless it is an outflow of goods obtained by some mercenaries."

The analysis of these top students made Li En nod secretly, unknowingly, he was very close to the truth, so he decided to add fire:

"Then, the most critical question - where is the shelling site? If it is not found out, everything is just conjecture and cannot be used as evidence, let alone prevent the war."

"The Nord Plateau is too big. If you search aimlessly, you won't be able to catch up with the time the lieutenant general made with us." Gaius' words were like a gust of cold wind, shaking the newly ignited fighting spirit.

"No, maybe there is a way to find out, as long as students Alyssa and Gaius are willing to help." Emma, ​​the student god at the top of the schoolmaster, made up the last shortcoming, "The monitoring tower is damaged. The speed and trajectory of the projectile, and then calculate how much Nolde's wind will affect it. Combining the above factors, it may be possible to find out the approximate location."

Looking at Emma who was listing various parameters on the manuscript paper, Li En was completely convinced. After all, he is a god of learning, and he is not at the same level as a pseudo-scholar. Knowledge is power is really not empty talk.

"Well, why didn't you ask me?" Celeste sent an angry signal through the spiritual link.

"?"

"I'll take care of it while you guys are still analyzing, look."

Through the link, Li En saw a three-dimensional model, a square surveillance tower, an arc-shaped orbital parabola, and a red area obtained by combining the elevation angle and wind speed.

"...I'm going to go, I'm an idiot!"
