Air Combat Wizard Section, Section Chief's Office.
At this time of night, the office was unexpectedly packed with people.
In addition to Fulon, who is an aerial combat mage, there are three people here.
These three people are the three members of the special agent team standing at the top of "Mist Ridge" - Chloe, Kanata and Yuri.
At this time, the three of them were called here and lined up in front of Fulon.
The reason for being called here is also very simple.
"Frequent attacks by small magical armored insects?"
After hearing about this from Fulon, the three people present frowned.
"That's right." Fulon nodded expressionlessly and said: "In recent times, small groups of magical armored insects have frequently broken into the air defense circle of "Mistgang", although each group is not strong. , but the frequency of attacks is very high.”
This seems to be the reason why Fulon called the people from the special agent team over.
In other words, Fulon wanted to discuss countermeasures with the people in the special agent team regarding this matter.
only...
"It's just an attack by small magic armored insects. Is there a need to dispatch a special agent team?"
The other side said this with some doubt.
Although he acts in his own way and his ability to do things is not as good as that of Chloe, Kanata is actually a person with excellent combat intuition. If he is faced with a battle or crisis situation, he can usually use quick thinking unexpected by others and construct a plan. Develop tactics and actions that others cannot imagine.
Therefore, despite the casual look on the other side, in fact, he is surprisingly good at analyzing situations, and when faced with critical situations, he is often able to display stronger abilities than Chloe.
Therefore, the other party may have smelled the danger and realized that things are not that simple, right
After all, "Mist Gang" is currently sailing on a route far away from the mainland, and the patrol route is not dangerous. Although it cannot avoid the attacks of magic armored insects that have spread all over the world, at best, it is as Fulon said. , the incoming groups are all not very strong, and relying on the daily patrols and sentry teams, it should be enough to deal with them.
Even if the attacks were frequent, if nothing happened, Fulon would never call the special agent team over. That's what Kanata thought.
as expected...
"... ...The D-class team responsible for night sentry duty outside last night has lost contact, and no signs of life can be detected at all."
Furlong was silent for a while, and then said these words without any expression.
"...!"
Kanata, Chloe and Yuri's expressions suddenly became tense.
"I see... "
Chloe showed a sad expression.
"Have any victims appeared?"
Yuri also bit her lip.
If a victim appears, it is already a very serious situation.
Not to mention...
"During the final contact, the captain of the D-class team sent the final message, and the word "mutant" was mentioned in the message. "
With this explanation from Furlong, he just told everyone the real reason for summoning the special agent team.
"Has a mutant actually appeared?"
There was a serious look on his face.
"No wonder a special agent team needs to be summoned..."
Chloe also suddenly realized.
Magic armored insects are not uniform, but are divided into different types according to their characteristics and levels.
Generally speaking, magic armor insects are divided into small, medium and large sizes.
The threat of small magic armored insects is not great. Even in the past, ordinary air combat magicians could easily deal with it. Not to mention that magic technology has improved greatly after Luo Zhen's influence. Even the weakest air combat magicians can't. It can easily deal with a group of small magic armored insects. Magical armored insects of this level usually win by numbers, and their power alone is not outstanding.
Medium-sized magic armored insects are different. No matter in size, strength or attack method, they are far superior to small ones. Depending on the individual, there are even differences between melee type, long-distance combat type, artillery type, etc. , ordinary aerial combat magicians cannot cope with it. Only D-level and above teams can cope with this level of magic armored insects.
As for the large magical armored insects, they already exist in another dimension. Not only are they extremely large in size, but their power is also extraordinary. There are even mother-type monsters that can specifically breed magical armored insects and carry them to the legion. Just one beetle can threaten a floating city. Most of the floating cities that have been destroyed so far have fallen into the hands of such magical beetles, which can be regarded as a major threat to mankind.
However, this is not the greatest threat to the magical armored insect.
The most threatening magical armored insects are those individuals that have mutated in the form of the above magical armored insects and gained terrible performance, characteristics or power.
That is mutant species, the greatest threat to mankind.
The simplest example is that among the currently known mutant magical armored insects, there are individuals who have evolved a high degree of intelligence and have the ability to command the magical armored insects.
This shows how much of a threat they pose to humans.
Yuri asked quickly.
"Are the mutants that appeared medium-sized?"
Generally speaking, medium-sized magic armor insects are more likely to mutate, while small magic armor insects have almost no possibility of mutation.
As for the large magical armored insects, because they are very rare, the chance of mutation is also very low.
Therefore, medium-sized magic armor insect mutants are relatively common, and they do not pose an excessive threat.
Unfortunately, Yuri was disappointed.
"According to the analysis of the Intelligence Technology Section, the mutant species that appeared this time should be large and highly intelligent. The small magical armored insect groups that are frequently attacking now are probably the cannon fodder sent to detect them. The D-class team last night It should be annihilated by it.”
Furlong stated this fact in a serious tone.
"this... "
Yuri was suddenly speechless.
"A large mutant type of magical armored insect"
"That's enough to threaten the survival of the floating city. It's really a tricky situation."
Chloe and the other side also became thoughtful.
"I'm calling you here this time to prepare you." Fulon said: "If the Intelligence Technology Department can successfully discover traces of the large mutant species, then before it gets close to Mister Hill, we need to Strike first and annihilate it.”
To deal with large mutants, the attack of the special agent team is inevitable.
"You are the aces of Mister Gang, so I am only informing you about this matter. Don't spread it casually, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
Furlong ordered.
At this time...
"That...that..."
Yuri suddenly spoke hesitantly.
"Should we inform Senior Luo Zhen?"
With one sentence, the office became silent.
Kanata and Chloe returned to their previous expressions, one scratched his head helplessly, the other covered his mouth and chuckled.
Even though she is usually so rebellious in front of Luo Zhen, at times like this, the first thing Yuri thinks of is Luo Zhen, which makes people feel like she is looking at a junior who is not candid.
On the contrary, it was Fulon who looked extremely unhappy.
"If possible, I would also like to inform him. Despite that man's personality, I don't think he will take the initiative to go on missions now."
There was a rare complaint in Furlong's words.
until...
"That's really sorry."
When such an indifferent voice sounded, everyone was stunned one after another.
