After a brief pause, she replied in a dreamy and ethereal voice:

"Just think of it as the hypocrisy of a scholar. I am just an ordinary person who wants to witness everything. This is my only obsession."

She smiled gently at Perlis, then walked towards the other end of the open space:

"Miss Perlis, see you at the celebration party."

Staring at the gradually receding figure, Perlis's face was expressionless, with suspicion flickering in her eyes.

But she just shook her head slightly, controlled her emotions, turned around, and boarded the steel airship.

Soon, under the command of the ground personnel, the airship with the Monark family emblem on its body gradually rose into the sky and flew towards the location of the Third Legion camp.

......

9) The Great Landing (Part 15)

The interior of the steel airship is different from the Federation's technological minimalist style. It appears to be rougher, but it also has a unique beauty that is typical of heavy industry.

Looking out of the window of the airship, what comes into view is the endless autumn fields. This once golden and prosperous grassland is now suffering in the flames of war and gunpowder, like a goddess stained by the mundane world.

She could fully understand why the Dila people treated Vans Monarch so badly: Qiu was not supposed to be baptized by war.

Will everything eventually turn into war?

While thinking, Perlis recalled the cocktail called "Canoli" that she had seen in the "Steam Pipe" Inn in Lavis. According to the explanation of the bartender at that time, this cocktail means "girl under the cherry tree" in the Dyla language. According to Perlis's understanding, this drink also symbolizes the friendship between Dyla and Thebete, and is the product of the combination of the two countries' cultures.

Now, friendship? They wanted to turn each other into ashes.

"..."

Perlis's eyes swept across the Dila soldiers in the airship cabin. Most of them had grim looks on their faces. Even if they didn't have obvious expressions, there was a hint of anger overflowing from their bones beneath their skin.

So, some things are so fragile that they break at the slightest touch... Especially things with symbolic meaning...

Perlis sighed softly and turned her gaze to a camp of tents not far away: that was the camp of the Thebite Third Legion.

As the airship gradually flew over the autumn plain, tents gradually covered the outline of the plain. Countless soldiers wearing giant armor walked between the tents, but they were not surprised at all by the airship in the sky.

Sure enough, the Monarch family's airship temporarily concealed the soldiers' suspicions, but soon there will be communication coming in to confirm their identity, right?

Just as Perlis had this thought, a rough voice came from the cockpit of the airship:

"This is the headquarters of the Third Legion. Please give me your identification code (in Thebite)."

It's a confirmation from the ground! Everyone in the airship immediately focused their attention on the control console. Several Dila soldiers stared at the Monaco family members with fiercer eyes, making silent threats.

"Monark family, 1402," the Monark fellow driving the airship replied calmly, "Requesting landing."

"Received, currently being screened."

There was no sound in the communication, and then there was a burst of chaotic noise, obviously a confirmation was in progress.

After a while, the rough voice replied:

"Identification has been confirmed, you may land (Thebite)."

"Received. Please turn on the guidance light of the landing site." The Monark family's man answered in an orderly manner.

"Okay, I'll tell you the coordinates of a usable landing field right away..." The rough voice was followed by the sound of metal rubbing, "Let me see...Okay, I found it."

"What are the coordinates, please?"

"Free fall, what coordinates are needed (Thebitten)."

"what?"

The Monarch family members were stunned for a second, and the atmosphere in the entire airship suddenly froze.

The next second, a roar came from the distant north—

"Om-"

Perlis turned her head and looked outside the cabin of the airship, her bloodshot eyes suddenly shrank——

——Countless rounds of dense artillery fire filled the sky!

That's the mountain cannon on Wanren Mountain! It's Sventovitt!

But... this is the Third Legion camp, why... why...

Before Perlis had any time to think, the rain of artillery fire came mercilessly, instantly engulfing the steel airship -

"boom------"

In the last moment before the explosion, Perlis injected all the factor energy into the bracelet and turned the power of the strong factor shield to the maximum.

Looking inside the cabin, her heart suddenly clenched, but she knew that she couldn't save anyone -

"boom------"

The explosion instantly swept across Perlis's vision. She felt a strong impact reverberating on the surface of the strong factor shield, and then she was thrown out directly.

The frail girl spun several times in the air before she was able to maintain her balance and get a chance to observe the ground.

However, when Perlis's vision cleared, she discovered an unbelievable fact:

The Third Legion's camp has been engulfed in flames!

There is no landing point below! If you want to land there, you must bear the risk of the factor shield being broken at any time!

You can only shuttle, you must shuttle, this is a trap!

As soon as this thought came to her mind, a halo of light lit up in Perlis's eyes in mid-air, and she began to look for the nearest shuttle point.

She soon saw a dense tangle of factors in the center of the distant camp: it was a stable place far away from the sea of ​​fire.

Very hastily, Perlis condensed a red line in front of her, and then directly tore open the space -

"bass--"

She shuttled through the red space at high speed, and soon arrived at the place where the factors were entangled, then tore open the space and jumped out -

"Om-"

Perlis's feet landed on the soft carpet of the tent, and she stood firmly. She quickly recovered and looked around, and found that the tent she was in was unexpectedly luxurious.

Steel weapons were hung everywhere inside the spacious tent, and it looked like they had been stationed there for a long time. Countless curtains hung from the top of the tent, with the logo of a ten-thousand-foot mountain engraved on them.

Wait a minute... this isn't the place...

Perlis moved her eyes to the end of the tent, where a steel throne stood firmly.

There is no mistake... This is Mikhail's tent...

That is to say... [Iron Lord]...

"Unfortunately, the person you are looking for is not here."

It was a sharp female voice coming from behind Perlis. She turned her head sharply and saw a woman in a white coat standing at the door of the tent.

She was thin and looked sloppy, but her golden eyes emitted a cold light, which was in sharp contrast to her frail appearance.

"Angela Stro...?" Perlis murmured in a low voice.

"If you know me, then the problem can be easily solved," Angela smiled coldly, "Then please understand everything I'm going to do next."

"I want revenge for my husband, Aleph Stro."

The next second, Angela pressed a button on her hand——

"boom--"

Perlis only felt the top of the tent being torn open by an explosion, and a pressure came from above her head, pressing her hard so that she bent over.

The light leaked out, revealing a sky filled with smoke, and along with it, the small holes in the backbone of the tent that emitted blue light also revealed their true colors.

Perlis recognized what it was instantly: it was a factor energy collector!

High power factor energy collector!

"Om-"

In Perlis's factor vision, all the destructive factors around her gathered towards the factor collector and were instantly swallowed up.

She only had time to absorb some of it, and the space around her suddenly turned into a factor-free zone!

"Let's see what you, a mere mortal, can do."

It was Angela Stroh's voice, a quivering spider web of grief and rage.

Pearlis was stuck in this web.

9) The Great Landing (Part 16)

It's so ironic that everything has returned to the starting point.

The story that began with Aleph's words once again returns to Aleph.

This time, standing opposite Perlis was his wife, Angela Stroe.

She was a former researcher at the Academy and a traitor who stole the blueprints of the Babel Prism, but none of that mattered to Perlis.

At this moment, she is the wife of Aleph Stro.

"..."

Staring at those sharp golden eyes, Perlis's face remained calm and she said nothing.

What could she explain? Explain that Aleph Stro's death was not her intention? Explain that she was actually on Aleph's side? Explain that she was just an ignorant little girl who was used as a weapon of war by the Federation?

Explanations are meaningless to the dead and too pale for the living.

When the positions are opposite, all words are like mirages, illusory and illusory.

“Deng…deng…deng…”

The sound of heavy armor stepping on the ground was heard. Perlis looked sideways and saw figures wearing powerful armor coming up from the torn gap in the tent.

They all held guns and iron tools in their hands, and Perlis now had no extra strength to condense the factor shield.

If you get hit, you'll get hurt, and you'll die...

"..."

His bloodshot eyes coldly swept over the Thebite soldiers that were surrounding him, calculating the best trajectory.

Unexpectedly, the Dyla people's plan was suppressed by the Thebite's plan...

Deliberately destroying the port...deliberately losing the East Coast...predicting the rebellion of the Monarch family...and setting up a heavy siege in advance...

[Iron Lord] Mikhail Irenfono and Angela Stro had obviously completed the plan long ago, and all of this was not aimed at anyone else, but at Perlis and Aoi.

No wonder... Without the power of [Pure White Flame] and [Red Devil], the Dila people's land combat level would obviously not be able to go head-on with the Thebite army.

I am really important.

"..."

Seeing the soldiers gradually surrounding her, Perlis coldly grasped the hilt of the famous sword Thunder Burial.

Seizing the moment when the gun was raised, she rushed forward, the black knife unsheathed.

"bass--"

The sharp red light instantly cut through the giant armor of the first Thebit soldier, leaving a deep melt mark on his chest.

Perlis caught the rifle that he had thrown due to exhaustion, and then fired at the other soldiers nearby.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

She wasn't very accurate at all, only three or four rounds from one magazine hit, but it was enough to make the soldier lose his balance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Perlis flashed and grabbed the shaky soldier, using him as a human shield.

“Da da da da da da!!”

A hail of bullets came, all hitting the soldier, turning his body into a sieve.

Perlis took advantage of the soldiers' reloading opportunity, let go of her human shield, rushed out, aimed at the nearest soldier, and fiercely threw the butterfly knife from her sleeve -

"what!"

A soldier screamed and fell to the ground. Perlis caught the gun he dropped and threw it at another soldier.
