01513, when the kidnappers go kidnap(1/2)
"Tida... It seems that the people in my organization are here..."
Irian's voice suddenly became a little cold again. Irian could let go of it and play casually in front of Tida, but in front of Levi and others, Irian could not do so casually. And seeing Levi's posture was actually preparing to come to him directly in front of Tida, Irian had to give Tida a vaccination first.
"Oh yeah ~~?"
The surprised voice of Tida with a tremolo was so cute that Irian didn't react at once. After Irian reacted, the black-clothed spy had already walked in front of her.
"Lt. Einzberen, Lieutenant Lorens, please come over, and there is also this one."
Well? This is amazing. I actually used the title of Second Lieutenant directly? Has the work of the intelligence department begun to become transparent? And it is even called Tida. Why is this? How can outsiders be together when talking about the mission?
"Alas? Lieutenant? Are you from the army? Could it be..."
Before Ilian could speak, Tida spoke first, but she would never be able to finish her words. Although she did not explain the matter of the snake-eating body to Tida in detail, even if there was a trace of clue, it would be better not to reveal it. So Ilian quickly interrupted her.
"Okay, I'll go right away, Tida and I'll come with me."
As he said that, Ilian also gave Tida a wink. Although Tida is usually careless and lively, she is actually very smart. When she saw Elian's expression, she knew that she might have talked too much. Then she obediently followed the spy to the back mountain of the village of Almo.
"Lt. Einzberen, you're finally here."
Walking to the back mountain, Erian was surprised to find that it was not only Levi who had come, but even Colonel Richard.
"Well? Is there anything wrong with Colonel Richard?"
Ilian expressed his doubts directly at Colonel Richard's arrival with a faint look. There was no need to make any tricks at this time. Ilian really didn't know what was going on. Instead of being kept in the dark for no reason, it would be better to ask directly, and maybe you can get the answer without any sloping around the bush.
After knowing that the other party was an officer of the colonel level, Tida seemed even more nervous. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and rubbed it, and didn't know if it would break it.
"Yes, because I miss you..."
Colonel Richard suddenly said something seriously, almost making Elian scream out of composure. Fortunately, Elian had always been accustomed to prevent her from doing such a destructive thing. However, Elian didn't know that she should be worried and happy afterwards.
"...I was wondering why you suddenly ran away from Luan. As a result, our supporter, Mayor Delmon, was arrested by the royal guards who had inexplicably ran to Luan. You are also familiar with the names of the guerrillas, namely Joshua and Estil."
After saying that, Colonel Richard paused and looked at Elian with satisfaction with his expression of annoyance. He thought that Elian was indeed regretting not being able to complete the task from the perspective of the intelligence department, but Elian was actually thinking in his heart - why did I miss such a wonderful thing! Joshua and Estil were able to overthrow a mayor, which is amazing. Even if there is anything wrong with that mayor, with the help of our intelligence agents, at least that uncle would not be arrested.
Strange! Strange!
But Colonel Richard could not know what Elian thought, and he continued:
"As for inviting you, we have a purpose..."
After Colonel Richard thought he had solved Erian's problem, he turned his attention to Erian. Erian waited and watched. Joshua and Estil were guerrillas and had the ability to protect themselves. However, although Erian had a guide cannon, there was no problem in attack output. It would not work if he really fought. He had to help this new good friend at any time.
"...We want to invite your grandfather, Dr. Russell, to our headquarters as a guest, of course, including you. So please go to the Reston Fortress, the military headquarters with our Lieutenant Ainzberen."
Hum? This...is this the legendary kidnapping?
And I want to be an accomplice?
And he is a good friend to me now?
Erian mercilessly threw his surprised eyes to Colonel Richard. Anyway, because she relied on her age advantage, the more she did something idiotic that she didn't want, the more she could make Colonel Richard feel at ease about her usual actions.
For example, if this incident happened, if a grown-up person ran away without permission and failed the mission, he would have to accept some punishment. But Erian was fine at all, that was because she was young and couldn't sit still in the same place and liked to run around. This was normal. Colonel Richard subconsciously excused Erian and forgive her mistakes.
After all, by nature, Colonel Richard is not a cruel person. He is even worse than Elion.
"Lt. Einzberen, don't look at me like this. This is for our great cause, and execute the order!"
At one point, Colonel Richard was a little harsh on Erian. So Erian cooperated very well and pretended to be helpless. He quickly dragged Tida and put some magic power under his feet to assist his actions. He jumped far away with a big jump.
While jumping, he passed a faint voice over.
"I got it, I'll go back to Reston Fortress immediately."
Tida, who was dragged by Ilian, did not resist. She was just at a loss by the sudden incident. She only realized when Ilian took her far away.
"Oh ~ Erian, am I kidnapped now?"
Erian nodded.
"And it was you?"
Tida pointed at Elyanne, her eyes widened. Then Elyanne nodded again.
"What the hell is going on~~"
Ilian's comforting hug was cute even when screaming.
"Tita, you just need to know that I won't really harm you. I'm now sent to the army to work, and the army now has some very complicated and complicated things, and you don't need to know that these things will be better. Now that Colonel Richard has come in person, it means that you and your grandfather must be impossible to escape the kidnapping of the army. Do you want to go to the base with me? Or are you tied to the base?"
"Then I'll go with you..."
After hugging Ilian with his backhand, Tida said in a depressed voice.
"Well~ don't look like this. Don't worry, even if I'm here, you will be doing well. Can a few people from Reston Fortress at the Army Headquarters go in and visit? I can guarantee you that you won't have anything to do."
This is not just Erian's simple comfort to Teda, because Colonel Richard's goal is a coup. Although he didn't know why he kidnapped Dr. Russell and Teda, Erian believed that it must be a research matter. Otherwise, what would he do if Dr. Russell, such an old man who had no real power and no money, would he kidnap? Moreover, with Dr. Russell's reputation, if Colonel Richard dared to hurt him, once exposed, the coup would become a bubble. He could not be so irrational.
"kindness……"
Tida finally looked a little energetic, and Ilian started to run with her all the way again.
"Oh~ Erian, is the real you who looked just now? So... cold?"
"It's almost the same. What you see is the real me. Generally, my emotional fluctuations will not be reflected on my face too much. What I express is usually what I am willing to show in front of everyone. When facing my friends, I will be very casual, but sometimes it will become very cruel. This is all me. I have changed a lot, it all depends on my mood."
He further introduced himself to Tida, and Ilian was also summing up his character.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed quite fickle. Although I am a good girl in front of everyone, my weak movements, my natural light and soft voice, or my elegant or cute expressions all reflect these. But in fact, I am an ordinary little girl who occasionally becomes black-bellied, mischievous, and vicious, and an executor who will not have any psychological burden on killing people.
What kind of person are you?
Erian didn't know that perhaps this uncertainty was Erian's greatest charm.
Along the way, chatting with Tida casually and thinking about her own thoughts, Irien took Tida directly to the Reston Fortress.
Speaking of which, although Ilian knew the location, this was actually the first time she came to Fortress Reston, and Ilian was also a little shocked when she saw this pass.
The city wall here is completely made of huge stones, and there is a thick layer of iron armor on the outside. In the eyes of Tida and I, the tall city walls seemed to be a giant beast of steel lying in front of us, making us involuntarily feel worshipful.
There is also a wide moat outside the city wall, and the sides of the river bank look nearly 100 meters. The only bridge connects the two sides, but it seems that this bridge can be dismantled. If the enemy attacks, let the enemy step on the bridge and then dismantle the key links. This will cause many enemies to drown.
When the two of them walked to the main entrance, the tall city gate made them have to raise their heads and look up before they could see the top. This level of looking up almost made Tida's hat fall off.
"What are you two doing? This is not a place for children to play, go back quickly!"
Irian and Tida were stunned at the walls of Reston Fortress, but the soldiers guarding the gate did not ignore them. He had actually called them a few times, but these two little loli were too focused on looking at the walls, so they ignored him.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them were little loli, he might have attacked them based on the behavior they just ignored. After all, this is the headquarters of the Kingdom Army, so how could the General Command be easily visited?
"I still want to leave, but someone must catch me..."
Tida's small voice did not make the soldiers hear it, but Irian's not loud words made the soldiers feel a little dizzy.
"I am Lieutenant Ainzberen, Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of Liber. I am the order of Colonel Richard of the Intelligence Department and take this Tida to the Fortress of Reston as a guest. Please report to the above!"
At this time, Ilian did not intend to get too involved with this soldier, and directly reported his identity. According to the military rank and official position of the Kingdom of Liber. Although the rank of the second lieutenant is not high, the military rank of the intelligence department has always been more useful than that of the general army. Ilian's treatment is equivalent to that of the major of the general army.
After all, the Intelligence Department is equivalent to a special forces.
So when the soldiers heard Elian say that she was a second lieutenant of the Intelligence Department, their first reaction was that Elian was not a lie, because Elian's speech was very official and his attitude was very plain. If he was an ordinary liar, how could he get in and do not let him report to his commander. Because once he told the commander, even formal officers would not be able to enter Reston Fortress without the official edict from the headquarters.
Moreover, it is basically impossible for an ordinary little girl to say such words and still be as calm as Elian.
So he was puzzled why the little loliyan, Yu Lian's military rank, was also surprised that the guests brought by Elian were also a little girl. But he just saluted Elian, and then immediately ran to the communicator and began to confirm Elian's situation to the insiders.
Without waiting for a long time, the gate of Reston Fortress began to slowly open. Seeing that the huge iron door could open automatically, and there were two pure iron gates, Ilian was slightly surprised. However, Tida didn't look very surprised. Thinking about it, when he was in the central workshop, Tida had all the magical guiding equipment that Tida could see, and this level of things were nothing at all.
Maybe this door was also installed by people from the central workshop.
After all, there is only such a little distance, and the headquarters also needs the highest protection.
After the door was completely opened, an officer wearing a green senior officer's uniform came out of the inside.
"Hello, Lieutenant Einzberen. I am the commander of Fortress Reston, Major Sid. We have received an order from the Intelligence Department and know that you will come here. Please."
As he said that, he led Irian and Tida into the Reston Fortress. There was nothing to notice when he walked into the fortress. The barracks in various places were actually similar. This place was just a little bigger than other places.
The same gray house and a large training ground. Well, Erian admitted that the airship plaza on the right of the gate came in from the gate. This setting is still a structure that is not found in the small military camp, but what else can the airship plaza? To be honest, it is not as good as Chase's airship plaza.
Or it's not the same level at all.
Chase is also the location of the central workshop. The airship plaque is so well-built that it feels like an epoch-making building. Not to mention that it is large and high, the platform where the airship is parked can still move automatically, leaving the airship in the passengers and the airship in the rest or the goods separately, without driving the airship and moving the place.
Walking all the way into the headquarters' office, Major Sid politely poured some water for Irian and Tida, and then said.
"Do you know what mission Colonel Ainzberen is doing this time? He hasn't told us yet. And the little sister next to you should not be a member of the army, right?"
Erian slowly picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then gently put it down.
"Major Sid, although your military rank is higher than mine, you also know that our intelligence department is a secret agency, and many of our tasks here cannot be told to ordinary military officers. To be honest, I don't know if I can tell you..."
While speaking, Erian observed Major Sid. Seeing him frowning, Erian immediately changed his words. After all, he was an officer stationed at the military headquarters. Although it was a peaceful time, the real commanders in the headquarters lived in the capital, but being able to stay here also represents his ability. Who knows what kind of person he would be? If he put his shoes on his body later, Erian wouldn't cry too long?
"...But I can reveal a little bit of news to you now..."
Because Ilian made a clever correction, Major Sid did not notice anything wrong.
"…The one I am now by my side is my good friend, Tida Russell."
"Tita Russell... Russell... Thank you for your tip. There are no secrets in this barracks now. The biggest secret may be by your side, so as long as you don't go out, you can do whatever you want. This is also the order of Colonel Richard."
To be continued...
