Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

The wind element swirled around his left hand, gently creating an almost invisible vortex in his palm, rippling the papers on the desk...

Chapter 58 "Two Months"

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Fan Yu heard a hazy voice from his ears and slowly opened his eyes.

Standing up from the bed on the second floor of the clinic, Fan Yu was covered with a blanket he hadn't seen before. Looking around the room, he noticed some utensils on the desk had been moved, suggesting Natasha had likely gone upstairs.

He slowly stretched himself, stood up, and went downstairs to the clinic.

Natasha's back was visible, having been working since last night. She was still working, but instead of sterilizing instruments, she was now mixing medications. Bottles of green liquid medicine, not present yesterday, were displayed in front of the pharmacy workbench.

On the bed next to her, Bronya was still sleeping. Based on the injuries he had given Bronya, Fan Yu suspected that Natasha had injected her with a sleeping potion.

"Oleg, Xier and the others are already outside, let's go eat something!" Natasha put down the work at hand and pointed outside.

Fan Yu was stunned for a moment, then followed her words and walked to the window. Indeed, Oleg and the members of the Earth Fire had gathered at the door. Of course, the captured Silver Mane Iron Guards and Bronya were also there.

He and Natasha came outside together. The slightly cold air was filled with the aroma of broth. Not far away, the members of the Earth Fire had set up an iron barrel stove. The members held aluminum bowls and lined up to get food.

Fan Yu and Natasha also joined in, and after about ten minutes they came to the prisoner area with food.

Oleg and Xier were interrogating the old silver-maned lieutenant. When they saw Fanyu and Natasha arrive, their faces relaxed.

"How is the intelligence investigation going?" Fan Yu asked bluntly.

Xi'er looked at him strangely, a bit strange, when she heard this. But her expression, in Fan Yu's eyes, symbolized the harmonic spectrum of the biofield, and the colors began to rapidly shift and resonate.

Oleg actually felt the same way. This young man had adapted to his new role very quickly. He stopped talking nonsense and said seriously, "According to the information I got from this guy, the situation in the upper district doesn't seem to be very good at the moment."

Natasha asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"It must have worsened, right? Because from what he said, there are traces of rifts appearing in the upper areas of Beloberg, penetrating the city walls."

"what?"

Xier looked at Fan Yu and added, "Your previous speculation was correct. The reason why Shiwaro did not ally with us and even rejected us was probably because he knew this information in advance!"

Fan Yu held his chin in his hand. "If that's the case, it means that the majority of the upper zone's forces will be deployed to those Rift Realm and Iron Guard restricted areas, right? This will be more conducive to our operations."

"Are you serious?" The old Silver Mane lieutenant, who had been slumped on the ground, frowned. "Young man, your words yesterday were indeed very inflammatory, but you are only leading them to their deaths."

Xier snorted: "Do you think we will be afraid?"

The old Silvermane lieutenant shook his head. "This isn't a question of fear or not. It's because of Lady Bronya's orders yesterday. We didn't choose to 'slaughter' you from the beginning. We didn't even bring any gunners or lancers with us."

"The Silvermane Guards led by Lady Bronya are more restrained. They are completely different from the Silvermane Guards led by Lady Cocolia."

Fan Yu: "..."

Fan Yu did not refute this.

He had witnessed such tactics when he went to the upper area yesterday. In the war against the backdrop of the cold weapon era, the Silver Mane Iron Guards gunners and riflemen could probably destroy the loose attack of the Earth Fire members with just a volley of fire.

"After all, without Bronya's restraint on us, you would never be able to break through us." The old silver-maned lieutenant said seriously.

Although this young man's speed and strength are outstanding, he is not at the level that can crush the entire Silver Mane Guard.

Without Bronya's restraint yesterday, a round of gunner's push was enough to make the opponent feel helpless.

The power that can truly stop them is often something that can only be obtained by entering the extraordinary realm, but the freezing ability mastered by the kid opposite is not enough to completely reverse the situation.

"If this kind of thing had any meaning, you wouldn't be here. You've lived long enough to know this," Oleg said calmly.

Old Silvermane Lieutenant: "But you can see it, Oleg."

Oleg: "So what if you can see it? Mr. Perron, we had no intention of confronting the entire upper district from the beginning. It was your Great Guardian who wanted to treat us as the cornerstone that had to be sacrificed on Bronya's path to growth.

Now that things have come to this, what difference does it make whether we die or resist? "

The old silver-maned lieutenant fell silent.

Oleg ignored him. He could tell the old Silvermane lieutenant was talking so much because he had some ulterior motive. It could be dissatisfaction with the Grand Guardian, or perhaps hope for the future of the new generation of Bronya. But he had no intention of guessing his thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, Oleg turned his gaze to Fan Yu beside him: "You slept last night, how are your thoughts going?"

Fan Yu hummed, looking around at the Silver Mane Iron Guard captives on the ground. "I'm planning to have them deliver a message to the upper levels. Let this old fellow do it."

Xier frowned and suggested, "This old fellow has been able to survive among the Silvermane Guard for so long, so he must be quite valuable. Why not send a small minion?"

"No, we have to show them some sincerity. It's him."

Fan Yu looked at the old Silver Mane Lieutenant and said, "Go and tell the Great Guardian of the Upper District that if you want Bronya and these Silver Mane Iron Guards to survive, you must gather food for all the residents of the Lower District.

You must have kept records of the number of residents during the initial lockdown.

In addition, we also need medical supplies, daily necessities to keep warm, and books for children. We also need teachers who can teach them how to read."

"Isn't this condition too easy for them? At least they should bleed a little." Xier felt that it was not radical enough and did not quite agree with this proposal.

The old silver-maned lieutenant glanced at the vicious little girl in silence: "..."

"I'll give you two months. Every time you deliver a batch of supplies, you can redeem one Iron Guard. We will return Bronya to you only when all the supplies arrive." Fan Yu calmly decided on this proposal.

Afterwards, at Fan Yu's signal, the unarmed old Silver Mane Lieutenant was untied.

"You are a smart person, you should know what to do."

The old Silver Mane lieutenant took a deep look at the group of Earthfire before leaving...

The scarier part was not this group of ruffians from the lower class, but rather their intelligent leader. For the first time, he felt that the arrogant attitudes of the nobles from the upper class, and even Lord Cocolia's, might be overturned by this young man's scheme.

When his figure disappeared into the distance.

Some cadres at the clinic door entered the clinic.

Some people looked at Fan Yu, and Xier couldn't help but ask the first question: "Why do you put forward such conditions? Didn't you say before that even if we get the resources, they won't let us have an easy time later?"

Oleg said subtly, "Among Fanyu's multiple conditions, the core one should be 'two months', right?"

"Eh?"

"Those supplies aren't something the upper class can't afford, nor are they something that can be raised quickly. They can also give the other party the illusion that this is a real deal."

Xier looked skeptical: "But what can be done in two months?"

Fan Yu glanced at Bronya lying on the hospital bed, as well as Natasha and Hook in his field of vision, and even Clara who appeared in his mind, and Seele in front of him.

He nodded solemnly: "Two months, that's enough!"

Here, time begins to flow...

Chapter 59 Xier joins the connection!

Two months later.

The entrance of Panyan Town.

Mine carts filled with books were transported into the town via rails as members of the Underfire team advanced.

On both sides of the fence at the entrance of the town, the Earth Fire Cadres headed by Fan Yu and the Silver Mane Iron Guards led by the old Silver Mane Lieutenant stood opposite each other.

Xier pushed several thin and frail Silver Mane Iron Guards in front of them and said, "This batch of hostages is the last one left in this deal."

The captured Silvermane Iron Guard lowered his head in humiliation and followed his companions in silence.

"In that case, Lady Bronya is the only one left. The 'Sun' of the Earth Fire, you still need to give me an accurate date!" The old silver-maned lieutenant said to Fan Yu seriously.

Fan Yu: "This will have to wait until you have enough chips for the next transaction. You are still missing the teacher and daily necessities as agreed upon."

The old Silver Mane lieutenant frowned, dissatisfied with this statement. However, he had already compromised for a long time, so he didn't want to cause any more trouble at the last minute.

"I understand... The lower regions don't have any earth marrow ore. Activating Beloberg's factory will reduce its efficiency. It will take another two days."

Fan Yu: "Then let's trade in two days!"

Afterwards, the old Silvermane Lieutenant left the town entrance with a batch of Silvermane Iron Guards.

Seele, who stayed where she was, asked Fan Yu seriously, "Will you really let Bronya go in two days?"

Fan Yu glanced at the butterfly girl beside him and said, "I won't wait until that day comes. The deal is that we need time, and they also need time."

Staring at the departing back of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, the process of these two months was not very smooth. During this period, there were some conflicts between the two sides.

The most typical result is that the entrance of Panyan Town was placed under closed management.

From the intelligence obtained from the captured soldiers.

They learned the other party's real purpose in agreeing to this deal - the other party needed to free up troops to solve the problem of the rift monsters in Beloberg first, and for this, Fan Yu happened to need the [Connection] property to extend the time for himself to prepare for the improvement.

Both parties agreed to the agreement after careful consideration.

Therefore, when both parties think they are well prepared behind the scenes of such a transaction, that is the moment when things turn sour.

In addition, an important key point was obtained from the mouths of those young Silvermane Guards with weak willpower: most residents of the upper area were not aware of the actual situation in the lower area, including Bronya and the group of captured Silvermane Guards themselves. When they came to the lower area, they did not even realize the truth that the environment here was seriously infiltrated by the Rift.

This important information, along with some of the plans that Fan Yu had discussed with Natasha over the past two months, had already quietly begun brewing in the upper areas.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and said sternly to the girl beside him, "After these two days, nothing will be peaceful in the end. You should go back and practice well, Xier."

Xier rolled her eyes at him: "Of course I know this."

She was no longer as passionate as she was two months ago, and she also understood clearly why Fan Yu had extended the preparation time for this battle to two months.

The terrifying increase in the other party's strength also gave her some improvement on a certain day during two months.

"Goodbye, I will defeat you one day." Xier turned around and left with a fighting look in her eyes, eager to try.

Fan Yu stared at her back, feeling speechless.

As the golden eyes opened, the harmonic spectrum reflected in Fan Yu's perspective appeared as a dazzling [green].

[Current Connection Level]: Depth 4 (Target tends to gain Agility.)

This is the result of Seele's connection for two months. According to Fan Yu's understanding of [Harmonious Bliss], Seele's connection situation is actually very similar to Bronya's.

That was the day two months later, when the transaction with the upper district began, the other party tried to use tricks and took hostages, but was defeated by them.

After that, Xier's long-standing defense seemed to have finally been confirmed. The resonance between the two sides increased to [Depth 3] in just one day, and then continued to improve during the occasional joint "Underground Fire" operation in a month.

It is worth mentioning that--

The Hooke connection level remained at the [Depth 5] stage during the two months because it was rarely seen.

Because they met every day and had a connection between earth and fire, Natasha came from behind and entered [Depth 5]. Seven days ago, she finally gave Fanyu the trait of [Leader].

As for Bronya, she remained in the same position two months before being captured, providing wind elemental attributes every day.

If there is resonance, the connection between the two parties can be greatly enhanced in an instant. If it cannot be achieved, it will remain at the same level.

So, [connection] is really a wonderful development.

"Boss, the situation on the pipeline has been confirmed. Are we going to take action tonight?" A member of the Dihuo team, wearing a 'top hat' similar to Fan Yu's from two months ago, asked in a low voice.

Fan Yu: "How about that guy in the upper area?"

"Sambo agreed to contact the newspaper as compensation for selling your information."

Fan Yu: "Then do it."

"Understood!" The underground fire cadre pressed his hat, then left with a group of younger brothers wearing the same coats behind him.

Fan Yu looked at their attire, speechless. Although he knew they were imitating, this scene still gave him the impression that the underground fire had been manipulated into a "Razor Gang."

[[Connection] still can't be extended to them.] —Fan Yu sighed inwardly.
