I have to admit that the reason why Rhine has the current influence is definitely not only because of her family and backers.
Not only is she excellent herself, she is also quite smart and very experienced in her actions.
Realizing that the other party was Hongjingtian, she immediately realized what the other party's demands and difficulties were.
As for the "price" thing, it was obviously just a joke, just to stir up her memories.
——You already want to make Mystic Mansion, will you care about those small gains? She can help try to solve the other party's difficulties.
So she turned her head and looked at Zizheng Supreme, "Sir, what if I point out the direction and the other party escapes instantly?"
This is obviously one of the difficulties of Hongjingtian - you can point out the location, but the opponent can run away.
Wind Attribute, in particular, runs faster than others, and it takes some time for her to receive information and react.
After that, instructions will be issued, and finally the guards will issue an attack... With so many steps, how long will it take?
So she asked Ziheng directly.
Ziheng's brain is definitely good enough. When he heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "This is easy to say. You can target the attributes in a targeted way!"
Mystic Mansion really has this kind of device, which can detect different attributes of Awakened One, but there are many restrictions when using it.
The reason for the specific restrictions is that I won't fill it with water. In short, it is not convenient to use.
One of the requirements is to predict the area where the opponent will appear in advance!
If there are enough devices, this requirement can of course be ignored, but due to management and other factors, this is difficult to achieve.
Rhine said that he could point out the general direction and had solved the military's biggest shortcoming.
Ziheng spoke without hesitation, "Do you want to turn it on now?"
Rhine thought for a moment before asking, "Does the device take a long time to start up?"
"A little bit," Ziheng replied angrily, "Mystic Mansion's funding... is not particularly sufficient."
"What?" This is the first time Rhine has heard that the funds for the military guarding Mystic Mansion are actually insufficient.
Putting aside the importance of the Mystic Mansion, let's just say that Mystic Mansion produces a large amount of Ability Rice, which is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
Moreover, there are other outputs in the Mystic Mansion, and the small treasury is definitely indispensable. No matter where there is a shortage of funds, there should be no shortage here.
She was really curious, "How unrestrained are you with your money?"
"That's not true!" Ziheng shook his head and denied it outright, "If your words spread, I don't know how many things will happen!"
It would be strange not to have one! Rhine felt like a mirror, but the other party's words also made her guess some possibilities.
So she shook her head slightly, "No need to explain... it's just nonsense. What do I do if I know all this?"
She is not too old, but she has been exposed to it all day long and has a deep understanding of the dangers of society.
"Actually, there is no peace within the military," Ziheng sighed softly, and then asked, "Activate?"
Rhine thought for a while and shook his head, "Wait a moment, I need to make preparations."
The key to the problem now is how to contact Hongjingtian.
——The other party can contact her, but what information she wants to send back can only be left to the other party to guess!
It would have been nice if we had agreed on something Secret Code in advance, but unfortunately we didn't.
The previous interactions between the two did not involve mutual cooperation at all, so naturally there was no such thing as Secret Code.
This feeling really made her uncomfortable because the responsibility was hers.
After thinking about it, she looked at Zizheng Supreme again and said, "Sir, don't turn off the alarm device you just used."
The other party nodded simply and slightly. At this moment, he really had no airs at all.
Then Rhine turned around, got on the off-road vehicle again, raised his finger in one direction, "Drive straight!"
This direction is actually very particular. It is about 120 degrees different from the direction pointed out by Hongjingtian.
She didn't want to run into that force with Wind Attribute, although she vaguely thought that Hongjingtian Team should be able to defeat him.
What she wanted to determine at the moment was the distance between the guards and that force - provided that the other party did not move or change its direction.
"Slow down," Rhine ordered softly, and then released his perception.
Behind her, the siren started blaring again, but she didn't pay attention.
Ziheng touched his chin and felt a little helpless: This thing... its sensitivity is really high.
But he could guess what Rhine was doing: It should be sensing the opponent, right? After the off-road vehicle drove about a kilometer, Rhine gave instructions to stop and put away its perception.
After staying for two minutes, the car changed direction again, and she released her perception again.
After continuing to drive slowly for another kilometer, the car stopped again, but the perception disappeared again.
After doing this six times, Rhine believed that the other party had received his signal. As for whether he could understand it... he could only leave it to fate.
Then the off-road vehicle picked up speed and lost control of its direction, running happily through the wilderness.
Rhine's perception is basically not released very much, and it only comes briefly once in a while.
Ziheng I can't understand her actions a bit, but thinking about it roughly, I still need to pinpoint the location, right? In all conscience, he felt a little ashamed. He was so dignified and supreme, but he actually lost to a Rank A in this regard? But it doesn't matter. What the military cares about is the purpose of combat. It doesn't matter whether it is completed by a group or an individual.
It's just that the other person keeps looking for him, and he doesn't know when he will find him. It's really a bit torturous.
The good thing is that what the siren keeps playing is "abnormal Mental Strength fluctuation found", and there is no fluctuation of Wind Element!
In other words, the spy should not be moving.
Rhine's car ran in the wilderness for nearly half an hour and then returned to the guard station, but she did not get out of the car.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zizheng Supreme came over and asked, "Do you have any clues? Do you want to send out the search team?"
Mystic Mansion has a large number of troops guarding it and can send out many search teams.
The reason why I didn't choose to do this before was that the area that needed to be searched was too large, and I also had to guard against the other party's means of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.
Awakened One has a variety of abilities. Protecting Mystic Mansion's portal is the first responsibility of the guards.
As soon as he finished speaking, the siren went off again, still warning Mental Strength.
But this time the police were called, Zizheng Supreme was a little embarrassed.
Because he was very close to Rhine, he was very sure that the other party did not release his sensory power, so he could only smile and said, "There is really a false alarm!"
Rhine's eyes flashed with strange light, because she actually received that idea at this moment.
The direction still indicates the same direction as before, proving that the other party has indeed not moved.
And this thought kept repeating, so much so that she had to release her perception slightly, otherwise it would be too weird.
While releasing her perception, she counted silently in her mind.
The other party passed on the information a full eleven times before withdrawing his perception.
Rhine thought that he had understood what the other party wanted to convey, so he quietly pointed out a direction to Ziheng.
"It's in that direction, about eleven kilometers away. It's up to you to decide how to operate it."
——Don't Hongjingtian reveal your location, that would be troublesome.
But such a smart person wouldn't make such a stupid mistake, right?
Zizheng Supreme stared at her blankly for five or six seconds, then Diandian nodded, "Okay, protect yourselves and don't wander around."
Now these students can leave. Even though they are basically Awakened One, the army is willing to cooperate.
In the event of a battle, they would be of little help and might even tie up the military.
But Ziheng believes that once a close combat occurs, these people still have a role to play.
Especially among the more than two hundred guardians, nearly half are Rank A Awakened One. They are a very powerful force in close combat.
So keep them for now, and you can recruit them at any time if necessary.
And he believed that since the other party dared to come, there was probably more than one Wind Attribute coming.
Then it is necessary to leave Rhine in case a new Awakened One needs to be positioned.
Furthermore, what if the positioning this time is not so accurate? That definitely requires a second positioning.
Ziheng It's not that Rhine can't be trusted, it's just that the army has always done things this way: think about defeat before winning!
Next, he made a series of arrangements.
First, the induction locking device of Wind Attribute was turned on, and then eight powerful teams were summoned.
Each team has five to six vehicles of various types, and then they start off and run into the distance.
None of the eight teams were heading towards Wind Attribute's hiding place. It looked like they were casting a net in all directions.
The team marched at some speed or at a slow pace. After marching for about ten minutes, the guards began to fire waves of artillery shells.
The firing directions of the artillery shells were also very sporadic, with no pattern at all, and looked like aimless exploration.
Some shells hit the area designated by Rhine, and some shells actually landed not far from Qu Jianlei and others.
"This guy," Paranoid couldn't help but mutter softly, "Didn't he designate a target area?"
Facts have proved that the military cannot make senseless actions.
While they were firing cannonballs everywhere, they effectively blocked Wind Attribute's perception in the area.
The aimless shooting lasted for half an hour, from sparse to dense, and finally shells could be seen everywhere.
However, the convoy sent out was very safe - there was no problem with this cooperation, and the impact point of the artillery shells was at least 500 meters away.
Taking advantage of these covers, the convoys that spread out quietly headed toward the target area to outflank them.
Qu Jianlei and others still discovered the movement of the convoy. Bentley nodded slightly, "The purpose and means of the battle are clear and organized."
"This is normal," Xiang Xue replied in a low voice, "They are stationed all year round and must have emergency plans... more than one."
Bentley pouted, such a waste of shells would be impossible to see in Garbage Star.
I can only say that it is worthy of being an empire, and worthy of being an imperial army. It is indeed rich and powerful!
However, the next moment, countless Dao Fire tongues suddenly erupted, targeting the area designated by Rhine.
The artillery fire has officially begun!
