Chapter 645: Leone Appears Again!
The Northern Snow Region of the Imperial Arms World.
The natural landscape here has a strong fantasy characteristic.
Vast and majestic, silver-clad plateau mountains, boundless and white, immense forest seas and snowy plains, with ice crystals and snowflakes dancing across the Heaven and Earth.
It was upon this beautiful yet cold white Earth.
Looking down from High Altitude, one could see a surging black Line, stretching from the eastern horizon to the southern end, like a black python winding its way through the snow.
Zooming in further, further...
First, the roar of various engines assaulted the senses, followed by the occasional sounds of vehicles moving, interspersed with the shouts of Personnel, spreading across the surrounding plains.
This was actually a massive Vehicle convoy composed of hundreds of medium and large Vehicles.
Most of them were large Trucks carrying various Supplies and Laborers, while the remaining small portion consisted of large, gray-white RVs.
At the front, flanks, and rear.
They were all escorted throughout by strong-Physiqued Black-Clad Soldiers riding Heavy Motorcycles.
These Soldiers' Winter Clothes were quite uniform.
From top to bottom.
Capes with hoods, Goggles to block the Wind and Snow, tight yet breathable Masks, thick and warm Earmuffs, anti-cold Coats that weren't bulky, Pants, and high-collared Combat Boots lined with fleece.
Because the entire set of Equipment was in various shades of black.
More than two hours later.
The convoy, stretching for over ten miles, braved the constant howling Wind and Snow and finally arrived before a rugged and massive City.
It was like a savage Giant Beast crouching and sleeping on the snowy Earth.
Below the tall Gate Tower.
Vice Admiral Doberman, who had received the News in advance, was already waiting here with two Brigade Commanders under his command.
Ever since Charlotte Oven took his Third Division to the western Front, and Douglas Bullet subsequently took the First Division south to rendezvous with Onigumo's Second Division.
This 'Saika Fortress City', formerly the Randell National Capital of The Empire, was now guarded by his Fourth Division of the First Main Combat Legion.
Because this City was located right in the Center of the entire Snow Region, Support could be dispatched in time if an Accident occurred on any Front.
However, the War was almost over, and they hadn't moved a single Soldier.
This made everyone in the Fourth Division, including Doberman, feel quite frustrated.
Although completing a garrison Mission also earned some Military Merit, how could it compare to killing enemies on the Battlefield?
The most speechless part was that they would next serve as Guards for this Construction Team, preventing any Danger Beasts or clueless individuals from interfering with the overall Construction Progress.
Fortunately, Admiral Akainu revealed that once this 'Saika Fortress City' was completely Reconstructed.
Their Fourth Division would also be responsible for the Guard Mission during the Meeting, so the total Merit accumulated from all these tasks could barely be accepted.
At least it was better than Dalmatian's Fifth Division, who had been stationed at the Star Gate Base from beginning to end.
That's right.
The World Government had decided after careful consideration to completely Reconstruct 'Saika Fortress City'.
This was because its Geography was not only very suitable, but it also had sufficient ready-made Materials, which could greatly shorten the Project Time.
"Hello, Vice Admiral Doberman, I am Pica, Deputy Director of the Construction Department. Have the Personnel Inside the City been completely evacuated?"
At this moment, Pica, who was nearly five meters tall and wearing thick gray Winter Clothes, stepped down from an RV and approached Doberman with over ten Cadres from his Team behind him.
Yes.
After years of diligent Learning, coupled with experience from various Major Projects and the Ability of the Paramecia System Stone-Stone Fruit.
Pica had not only obtained the Senior Architect certification but had also been successfully Promoted to the Position of Deputy Director. Everyone within the Construction Department now believed he would be the future Division Chief.
However, his high-pitched Voice, which completely mismatched his Giant build, remained unchanged.
But Vice Admiral Doberman and the other Officers were also extraordinary individuals. Their firm Will prevented them from showing any disrespectful Expression or Action.
"They've been evacuated. We've set up a Camp one kilometer to the North. We can handle any Situation in time, so you can proceed with Construction without worry."
"That's good. Thank you all."
Pica nodded after hearing Doberman's words, then turned around and instructed the Cadres under him: "Enter the site. First, dismantle all non-Stone Materials inside!"
"Yes!"
The Cadres responded in unison and quickly ran towards their respective Group's Vehicle convoys.
Doberman had no interest in wasting more words with Pica in this freezing Environment.
Leaving behind a Rear Admiral responsible for garrisoning the area with his Main Combat Regiment, he took the other Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals and headed to the newly built Camp to the North, accompanied by hundreds of Soldiers.
At the same time.
Squads of Workers wearing gray Winter Clothes and holding various Tools jumped out of the trucks, pouring into the City Gate like a tide, then splitting into fine Tributaries heading to various locations Inside the City.
Behind them, the Trucks did not turn around and leave but slowly drove in after them.
They were responsible for transporting the dismantled items out.
Just as the Construction Team was enthusiastically preparing for a Major Project, Vice Admiral Doberman and the others returned to the Division Camp where tens of thousands of Military Strength were stationed.
One after another, black Military Tents stood neatly on the silver-white plain.
The Paths were clear, the Zones were orderly, and every ten meters or so, there was a Lighthouse emitting light. Bright warm light and wisps of Heat faintly emerged from inside the Tents.
Those were large Light Shells and large Heat Shells.
With the Air Force Headquarters established on the former 'God's Island', now renamed 'Elbais', the artificial breeding of these magical Shells/Dials from Sky Island had been achieved on a large Scale.
Although the Output had not yet reached the point of being sold to the outside World, providing for the World Government internally was not a problem.
Especially for the Military Department.
"Report, Division Commander! Three hours ago, a woman claiming to be a former Imperial Army Lieutenant General was brought back by Major Ronnie and his Squad who were on Patrol outside!"
"Besides her own Imperial Arm, 'Lion King', she also has the Imperial Arm 'Demon Armor Transformation' belonging to the deceased Imperial Army General Blande!"
"However, the Activator for 'Demon Armor Transformation', a red-bladed, silver-poled Spear, is in a damaged state. It is said to have been broken by Vice Admiral Ghost Shark..."
Doberman's dark face, covered in scars, showed a look of surprise after hearing the Report from the Rear Admiral who had been responsible for the garrison during his absence.
The Officers behind him also exchanged glances.
"Since she's from The Empire, what is she doing here?" Doberman voiced everyone's Inner Voice.
The reporting Rear Admiral replied with a wry smile.
"Lieutenant General Leone said she wants to join us and doesn't want to return to The Empire. At the same time, she hopes to see Imperial Army Lieutenant General Nahas, who was captured by Vice Admiral Onigumo..."
"Hmm, understood. Take me to see her!"
After a moment of thought, Doberman decided to talk to the other party.
After all, the other party was a Lieutenant General; at least their Rank was equal. Moreover, she brought two Imperial Arms, so she should definitely be given some Importance.
As for one of them being damaged, what was that compared to everything else? Someone would surely be responsible for repairing it.
"Yes!"
