On the bridge of the steel airship "Vanguard", Venia Irenfono stared coldly at the tragic situation in Tieling Town and smiled smugly.

"Haha, this mob is really hard to defend against..."

He looked at the tall building that Vans Monarch used as his headquarters. There was a big hole blown out of it. It was he who had just ordered the firing.

"The target has been hit, General Venia, do you want to continue?" The gunner's voice came over the radio.

"No, no, let's go," Venia said with a smile, "The Dila people's cannon is so powerful. If there is any scratch or collision, dinner tonight will be delayed."

"receive."

Above the autumn plains, the "Pioneer" was heading towards the Longmai River and the Wanren Mountain.

......

East Coast - Tieling Town - Temporary Camp.

"..."

Vans stared blankly at the foreign faces in front of him. The expressions of these Dila soldiers were very fierce, as if they wanted to tear Vans into several pieces.

If Pearlis hadn't been standing next to him, he would have had a few more scars.

Vans looked around and saw countless white beds - all the wounded who surrendered from Thebite were placed here, and their wounds were treated with the help of military doctor Dila.

When he looked around, Vance not only saw the old butler, but also a guy with a bandage wrapped around his waist and a big beard:

That was the head of the Petrov family, Azeev Petrov.

The big man who used to be extremely fierce now had a somewhat empty look in his eyes. He kept stroking his waist and muttering something that Vans couldn't hear clearly.

It looks so painful... Vans cleared his throat, turned to look at the group of Dila people beside the bed, and said hesitantly:

"Um...Excuse me..."

"I didn't ask you to talk!" Gleason said fiercely, "Shut up!"

"Well!"

Vans immediately shut his mouth and behaved very well. Seeing his pitiful appearance, Pearlis sighed softly.

"Let him talk," Perlis patted Grissom's shoulder, "He is... a commander after all."

"But, Miss Ayane, because of them..." Gleason clenched his fists tightly, "She is a talented lady in the palace, she shouldn't..."

"Oh? You call me a talented woman (in Dila)?"

A dreamy and ethereal voice came from behind everyone. When Perlis turned around, she was surprised to find that the person coming was Ayane.

She was still wearing the shrine maiden's costume, which was a little dusty but not damaged.

How could she have survived that round of bombardment?

As Perlis was thinking this, she keenly noticed a faint red light at the entrance of the tent. If it weren't for her natural strong perception, she would probably not be able to detect it like everyone else.

Ibuki Rin?... That's right, she has the power to travel between the [lower world] and the [upper world], so naturally she can save Ayane in that situation.

But he actually sent an internal guard to personally protect a civilian official? [Cang Huang] actually cares so much about the safety of his subordinates... I thought that guy treated everyone as pawns...

While thinking, Ayane had already walked in front of Perlis and her group. She turned to look at Grissom first, and said with a chuckle:

"Ms. Mei and Captain Furukawa Watari are both fine. Their injuries have been treated, thanks to the power of the red stone."

She turned her head to Perlis again, smiled and nodded:

"Thank you, Miss Perlis, for saving two outstanding talents for Dila."

Perlis did not respond to her thanks, but just nodded, and then said:

"Ms. Ayane, Vans Monarch voluntarily gave up resistance and expressed his willingness to cooperate."

"I am overjoyed," Ayane said in a dreamy and ethereal voice, "The Monarch family has always been aware of the times."

"I...I have no intention of betraying Thebite!" Vans retorted weakly, "It's just that I realized the problems in the army..."

"Oh? In other words, Mr. Vans is planning to use us?" Miss Ayane slowly walked to Vans' bed and smiled softly, "If you have this purpose, you shouldn't say it in front of me."

"No...No!" Vance cried out, "I..."

"No need to say more. As long as you can provide us with sufficient benefits in exchange, the Monarch family will survive," Ayane said softly. "We need to know the approximate number and application areas of the factor-energy heavy artillery just now. We also need to know the distance distribution and camp location of the Thebite army. Can you provide it?"

"I..." Vance's throat choked for a moment. He looked at the brothers on the bed and the old housekeeper who was sleeping, took a deep breath, "I can..."

"Damned traitor..." Azeev Petrov's voice came, sounding muffled.

"Venia Irenforno brought this upon himself!" Vans shouted in dissatisfaction, "He killed my father and my sister! Now he wants to send me and my family to hell! Why should I keep a secret for them!"

"It's your family's problem..." Ajaf said sullenly, "For the sake of unity, only strength is supreme..."

"No wonder you're lying in bed with a pierced waist. You won't be able to do anything for the rest of your life!" Vans curled his lips in disdain, then turned to Ayane, "Ms. Ayane, I need some time to sort it out, is that okay?"

"Yes, but there won't be much time," Ayane smiled softly, "In two hours, we will launch a surprise attack on the Third Legion camp. You need to give an answer before then."

"No problem," Vance nodded, then suddenly slapped his head, "Wait...if this is the Third Legion camp...

He turned his gaze towards Perlis, paused hesitantly, but still mustered up the courage to speak:

"Ms. Perlis, I have...I have something for you."

As he said this, Vans pulled out a pure white bullet from his sleeve and handed it to Perlis:

"Once you reach the Third Legion camp, if possible, please launch this flare into the air. It will work."

Perlis took the pure white bullet and looked at it. The surface of the bullet was very smooth, reflecting the ambient light, and it even looked like a work of art.

"Effect? ​​What effect?" Perlis asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, but the information should be correct." Vance shook his head.

"Ridiculous," Gleason rejected without hesitation, "What's the purpose? I'm afraid it's to inform the Thebits!"

"I don't expect trust," Vance shook his head again, "Just think of it as an option in dangerous situations."

After saying that, Vans turned his gaze to Ayane and spoke hesitantly:

"Um... Miss Ayane, I need space to sort out the information. Can I come here first?"

"No problem," Ayane nodded, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

At Ayane's signal, all of Dila's soldiers left the tent to make room for Vans.

Pearlis was the last one to leave the tent. Before she left, she looked back at Vans.

The boy still looked like a loser, but Perlis's instinct told her that he was already a man.

......

9) The Great Landing (Part 14)

After walking out of the tent where Vans was, Perlis walked through the taken-over Tieling Town and came to the Dila people's wounded camp.

Following the doctor's instructions, Perlis found the ward where Aoi was. As soon as she entered, she saw Aoi lying on the bed, and Mei Xinghui who was taking care of her.

"Ms. Perlis...!" Mei's face brightened up when she saw Perlis, "Thank you for the redstone. If it weren't for its help, I would have..."

"It's just a piece of cake," Perlis walked over to Aoi's bed and sat down, "How is she?"

Aoi closed her eyes and slept peacefully. Her chest was wrapped in thick gauze, but one could still see her chest rising and falling slowly under her curves.

"It's nothing serious. Her physiological condition is very stable. She should be fine after a while of rest," Mei sighed, not knowing whether she was relieved or worried. "It's a miracle among miracles that she survived being hit head-on by the factor energy cannon... and Miss Aoi only broke a few bones..."

"She's amazing," Perlis smiled softly, "She's always been amazing."

Aoi's sleeping face was different from her usual casual and lively appearance. She seemed too quiet and peaceful, which made Perlis feel a sense of disobedience.

Without that fierceness, Aoi has become somewhat weak and cute. It seems that she shouldn't appear in this world...

Thinking of the little moments they spent together in daily life, Perlis frowned slightly, but a slight curve appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"When she wakes up, please wish her well for me," Perlis said to Meiyi beside her, "I will leave for the Third Legion camp soon."

"I will..."

Mei Xinghui nodded, then as if she remembered something, she took something out of her pocket and handed it to Perlis:

"Miss Perlis, this is back to you."

Perlis looked closely and found that the redstone module was spread out on Mei's palm, flashing a faint light.

She looked up at the violet eyes and smiled softly:

"You keep it for now, the fight isn't over yet."

"But you need it more than I do now... If you encounter danger..." Mei said a little uncomfortably.

"No such thing, have you forgotten my identity?"

Perlis once again put on that mysterious tone, she raised her index finger and manipulated the red arc to wrap around it.

"Remember? I'm very good."

"Oh! Yes!" Mei Xinghui covered her mouth in surprise again, and then looked around, "I almost forgot..."

"Remember what we agreed to do, you have to keep the secret for me," Perlis retracted her finger, "Besides, with this red stone, Miss Mei's research in the field of mystery will be able to go a step further."

After saying that, Perlis blinked her right eye gently, then stood up, leaving Mei with a pure white back.

The pair of violet eyes kept staring at Perlis's figure as she disappeared at the door, flashing with excitement and gratitude.

She held the red stone, lowered her head, and rested her forehead on her fist, thinking.

......

After leaving the wounded camp, Perlis went directly to the edge of Tieling Town, ready to participate in the raid.

A steel airship was parked in an open space, and soldiers were boarding the steel airship one by one, fully armed and in neat formation.

Several members of the Monark family also participated in the raid. Their role was to drive the airship and bring the Dila people as close to the Third Legion camp as possible in a stealthy way.

Since the Monarch family crest was on the airship, the Third Legion would probably relax their vigilance and would be unlikely to attack it without warning. This would give the assault team the advantage of taking the initiative.

According to the information provided by Vans, the last time the Iron Lord was spotted was in the large tent in the center of the Third Legion camp, with a large flag of the Irenforno family next to it.

As long as she could use the steel airship to arrive over the camp without being noticed, Perlis could airdrop directly and head straight for the tent.

With Perlis' current strength, she is absolutely confident that she can defeat the Iron Lord in a one-on-one fight.

After the airborne team confirmed their infiltration, the peripheral troops would take advantage of the opportunity to attract the attention of all the Third Legion soldiers to launch an attack from the outside, forming a pincer attack from both inside and outside. According to the camp distribution map provided by Vance, after the battle began, no nearby camp had the opportunity to provide support.

As long as the Iron Lord Mikhail Irenforno can be assassinated, the Thebite's army will be defeated immediately and there will be no subsequent problems.

Therefore, the key to the success or failure of all this fell on Perlis and the airborne team.

"..."

As she crossed the clearing, Perlis clenched her fists tightly, and the phantom pain in her wrists began to throb again.

Although Perlis didn't want to admit it, her experience in Wanren Mountain had always been a shadow on her. It was not something that time could heal. It was more like something deeply engraved in her bones.

That was the first time that Perlis came face to face with the concept of death at such a close distance.

And now, she was about to embrace her own death once again.

"..."

At the entrance of the steel airship, Miss Ayane was talking to the officer in charge of command, Dila. When she saw Perlis coming, she turned her head and smiled gently:

"Ms. Perlis, you have been exhausted from the journey. Please take care of yourself."

How come it sounds like I'm going to attend an important meeting... Perlis muttered helplessly, then asked back:

"Ayane-san, are you also going to join this raid?"

"I will be in charge of the ground team," Miss Ayane nodded in affirmation, "Please trouble Miss Perlis to draw attention for us."

Perlis nodded slightly, and then asked in a puzzled tone:

"Ms. Ayane, why don't you stay in Tieling Town to command? The front line is very dangerous..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that she had asked a very stupid question: Ayane was obviously under strict protection, and her personal safety should be guaranteed.

But why must she go to the front? Given Ms. Ayane's position, commanding from the rear would not only be more stable, but also not necessarily less efficient than the front.

"..."

After hearing Perlis' question, Ayane was silent for a moment, her beautiful face as calm as water.
