Colonia Storm Tour

"But, Chief Lin, what will happen to Artemisia's body when you return to your original body?"

You Huazhizi thought of the physical problems of Artemisia in front of her.

"Preserve her body as the original, then she will be reborn on her own clone. After memory correction, she will serve the Burning Wind loyally, and like us, she will be resurrected on her clone if she dies."

Lin Haiyuan replied.

"Chief Lin, I remember you said that you have already merged with Artemisia's soul, right? There won't be any souls that can be transferred then, will there?"

The presence of gardenias reminds me of the most important soul in the entire rebirth process, which Artemisia seems to lack.

"The appearance of the soul is very mysterious. When the time comes, we will only need to input the corresponding information into the clone to see her reborn. It is not something that can be explained here."

Lin Haiyuan cannot explain the appearance of the soul here, because it is too metaphysical and difficult to understand.

"Okay... what should we do next? Go to the experimental site or the aerial base camp?"

Gardenia is still not quite sure what to do next.

"My nanobots are already waiting for us in the teleportation room. The 15 girls who were left behind are also waiting for us. We're going there to give them a pep talk and then begin our rehabilitation training together."

Lin Haiyuan walked out of Equipment Room 0.

"A lecture plus recovery training, huh? Maybe they'll be a bit rusty after not using CR-UNIT for a few days, but those magicians who use Herok will have a hard time gaining an advantage against us."

Gardenia's assessment of those DEM magicians was that they were only 3 to 4 points better than the average AST member. However, being 3 to 4 points better would already be considered elite among AST members.

"Don't worry, their level is even stronger than before. After Ratatosk took away the magicians we gave them, the remaining 15 magicians have immediately undergone Archer-level genetic modification and enhancement."

Lin Haiyuan believed that those DEM magicians who had undergone Archer-level genetic modification and enhancement would not be defeated within two or three moves.

"Hey, can they accept genetic modification and enhancement? They've even resorted to mind control."

When Hua Zhizi said this, they had already arrived at the door of the teleportation room.

"All of this has been planned out long ago. Having learned about the benefits of Archer-level gene modification and enhancement through the memory recorder, they will not refuse Archer-level gene modification and enhancement. Moreover, there is a certain degree of psychological guidance and suggestion to help them make a decision. After all, the stronger their combat power, the higher their survival rate in battle. We cannot afford to lose anyone now."

There's a reason why Lin Haiyuan dared to let these DEM magicians immediately undergo Archer-level genetic modification and enhancement.

"Is that so? We'll understand their level of strength when we fight those former DEM magicians."

Hua Zhizi said eagerly, "Without Luo Wen, I've lost an opponent who can spar with me."

"Here we need to correct the issue of how you refer to them. You should now call them the Fire Wind Magicians. The original title, DEM Magicians, should be abolished. Furthermore, the Magician Unit will be given an independent designation."

The number of the magician unit that Lin Haiyuan mentioned here aroused the interest of Yu Huazhi.

"Yes, the Wind-Burning Magicians, but what will the magician unit's designation be? Will it be a dinosaur-style naming convention or simply the First Magician Company?"

When Hua Zhizi mentioned the First Magician Company, she wasn't joking, because in terms of numbers, it could barely be considered a platoon that wasn't even full.

"The natural museum-style naming convention of the Foehn Wind is not suitable for a magician unit. Your unit's designation is simply Valkyrie, which means Valkyrie."

Lin Haiyuan's plan is simple, direct, and straightforward, making it very easy to understand.

"So, the magicians will all be concentrated in Valkyrie and not assigned to other units?"

Some gardenias think that Valkyrie might become an independent branch of the military at that time.

"In a broad sense, you are positioned as special forces or elite soldiers, rather than as common as iron cavalry or spearmen. In the future, the Last Fortress, the Colonia Flank, and the Mad Shark Vanguard will all have their own magician units."

Lin Haiyuan replied.

"At that time, our magician squad will be similar to the giant killer of the last fortress, the barometric apostles on the flank of Colonia, and the synchronous ronin of the Mad Shark Vanguard."

Hua Zhizi's thoughts were somewhat different from Lin Haiyuan's.

"The Mad Shark Vanguard has not yet been formed, and the final fortress has not yet been decided. However, on the Colonia flank, we do not intend to have only simple Pressure Ball Apostles, but to combine Pressure Ball Apostles and Magicians into one. At that time, our Magician troops will be both Magicians and Pressure Ball Apostles."

Lin Haiyuan corrected her misconception—it was foreseen that the simple air pressure balloon apostles would have considerable limitations in future battles, so the air pressure balloon apostles and magicians were merged together. Both the ground and the sky would be the future battlefields for the air pressure balloon apostles. However, there was a 99.9% probability that this would result in the air pressure balloon apostles becoming an all-female force, because the requirement to use CR-UNIT was added.

As we all know, there are countless female magicians, but in the original work, we only see one male magician, Kannazuki Kyohei! And he also looks quite effeminate.

"I see."

As Hua Zhizi spoke, she stood on the teleportation platform of the teleportation room with Lin Haiyuan and the nanobots.

The next moment, the two of them and the nanobots disappeared from the teleportation platform and then appeared in the passage leading to the interior of the experimental site.

As the steel gate split into four pieces and receded, two people and some nanobots arrived before the AW-110 [Herok] Firewind Magicians who were already equipped with them.

"Greetings, Commander!"

The female magicians marched in unison to salute Lin Haiyuan.

"Hello, comrades."

Lin Haiyuan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the 15 female magicians.

Normally, Lin Haiyuan should say "Hello, comrades," then the female magicians should say "Hello, Commander," then Lin Haiyuan should say "Comrades, you've worked hard," and then they should say "Serve the people." But the situation is reversed now, which doesn't matter, since it's not a military parade or anything.

"I would like to once again welcome you to your awakening and abandonment of darkness to join the Fenfeng. I also congratulate you on your safe completion of the Archer-level genetic modification enhancement. However, there is no time to hold any welcoming ceremony now, as we are currently in an unstable environment and will soon be evacuating from 4V. I think no one wants to be a slave to DEM forever, so we can only postpone the welcoming ceremony due to our tight schedule. Where will we hold the welcoming ceremony in the future? It will be at our Fenfeng underground base on the South Pole Plain in Antarctica. Your organization will be different from the current one then."

So listen carefully here, you are now under the command of Colonia's flank, and your unit designation is the Valkyrie Battalion. Your current numbers are insufficient to form a Valkyrie Division.

After arriving at the underground base in Antarctica, you will be under the command of Chief Alice and Commissar Odin of the Last Fortress. You will become members of the Magician Training Team, responsible for training more magicians to join our Burning Wind Magician Force. Therefore, you not only need to have sufficient theoretical knowledge but also sufficient strength. So here you will first undergo basic adaptation training.

As you all know, undergoing Archer-level genetic modification and enhancement will bring about a transformative change. Adaptive training is essential to adapt to and fully unleash your strength and the performance of the AW-110 [Herlock].

It's worth mentioning that Comrade Artemisia and Comrade Yuhua Zhizi will also be undergoing acclimatization training in the same area as you. Therefore, if any of you feel fully adapted, you can request to challenge either or both of them to hone and refine your skills. You need to seize this opportunity, because Comrade Artemisia and Comrade Yuhua Zhizi will not be accompanying you to Antarctica to receive command from Chief Alice and Political Commissar Odin of the Last Fortress. They will remain the military commander and political commissar of the Valkyrie forces on the flank of Colonia. Do you understand?

"Understood!!!"

The 15 female magicians responded in unison.

"Very good. Next, you will each take your assigned areas for acclimatization training. I have other matters to attend to and cannot sit in the front row to admire the Valkyries' heroic figures. However, I believe that I will not only witness your heroic figures on the training ground but also on the battlefield. Remember the saying, 'Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime'! Training begins now!"

Lin Haiyuan shouted loudly.

Yes! x17

This time, Artemisia and Gardenia were among the responders.

These magicians, who already knew each other during DEM, worked together seamlessly, dividing up areas for acclimatization training with their teammates or friends.

Since Hua Zhizi and Artemisia are considered to be magicians with superior strength, there are currently only two experts sparring with each other.

After the nanobots left under the control of WalkerNet AI, Youhua Zhizi turned to look at Lin Haiyuan, who was using Artemisia's body.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Artemisia~"

Gardenia even playfully winked her bronze-blue eyes.

"This is me. Please take care of me, Miss Gardenia."

Artemisia responded with a smile, her sky-blue eyes crinkling with laughter—Lin Haiyuan quickly switched into the role of Artemisia. If he were to complain about Hua Zhizi here on purpose, it would be embarrassing if the magician girls heard him. After being enhanced by the Free Domain, not only their vision was improved, but their hearing was also enhanced accordingly.

The two simultaneously displayed the command to levitate in their minds, and then, wearing equipment that was not suitable for flight, they floated into the sky together with their spears and double-edged lightsabers.

"Gardenia, why don't you make the first move?"

Lin Haiyuan grasped the [Heroic Spirit War Maiden] with both hands, raised it above his head and spun it around a few times. Then, he released it with his left hand and swung the spear down with his right.

The magically formed spear blade of the Heroic Spirit War Maiden easily sliced ​​through the air, producing an unusual muffled sound.

"Since you've already adopted an offensive stance, of course you should strike first."

Gardenia's Aroundight was also fully charged, and the green blade emitted light and produced a slight ripple.

"Then I'll go!"

Taking advantage of the convenience brought by the Free Domain, Lin Haiyuan instantly accelerated to his maximum speed and sprinted towards Youhua Zhizi.

"Hmm, this looks like they're really going to fight."

Gardenia was already used to such a powerful charge, and she rushed over and slashed her Aroundight at the Heroic Spirit War Maiden's spear.

----------

Then, during the last two weeks of the 4V mission, Foehn began an orderly and intense evacuation operation.

Most of the soldiers in the Army, Air Force, and Navy initially couldn't understand the evacuation operation, because they hadn't even really put in the effort to advance into the Khartoum region of Tibet to destroy those evil devices before they were running away? This behavior was practically fleeing without a fight. Among them, the Synchronous Ninja King Jing and the members of the Overlord Squad came knocking on their door, and even Rowan's parents came along.

"What do you all want by coming to see me? Aren't you going to get back to training?"

Lin Haiyuan asked, sitting in his office chair in the command room of the Fenfeng construction site.

"Commander Lin, we came here together to request permission to be airdropped into the Kashi region of Tibet to destroy those two evil devices that threaten our free and uncontrolled will!"

Wang Jing got straight to the point and told Lin Haiyuan his purpose for coming.

"We must avenge Xiaowen! Chief Lin."

Wu Shanyu explained directly why the entire Dominator Squad had come along, and judging from her angry expression, her eyes were filled with the burning rage of hatred.

"Yes, Chief Lin, we can't leave like this, we must avenge Xiaowen!"

Like Wu Shanyu, Yun Xuewu also wanted to avenge her college friend Luo Wen.

"It is not gentlemanly to leave a grudge unavenged, Chief Lin. We have always believed in avenging every wrong."

Li Liqi's wide eyes also revealed his anger and hatred towards DEM, which led to Luo Wen's sacrifice.

"I believe that as long as we work together, it is not impossible to eliminate the memory manipulation threat hanging over our heads by launching another hyperspace assault on Kashi, Tibet."

Zhao Erjun's thoughts and expressions were similar to the previous four.

"I will do my best to do what I am supposed to do."

Hou Dexing sighed. Unlike the others who volunteered, he rationally understood that such a time-space team assault was practically suicidal.

"Like Hou Dexing, I will do my best to do what I should do."

Jiang Zelin maintained sufficient rationality in the face of news of Luo Wen's sacrifice.

"My magnetic Ivan explosives might be able to kill a few troublesome magicians or Bondskis."

Unlike the other team members who had studied at Kagoshima International University in Japan with him, Antip was determined to seek revenge immediately after Rowan's sacrifice, but he would do his best if his superiors agreed.

"ah……………………"

Elise's mouth opened and closed like a fish in water, as if she didn't know what to say.

"The Mastodon Tank can withstand the magician's attacks for a while. Even the strongest magician cannot easily cut through its heavy armor."

Boris said this to indicate that he neither agreed nor disagreed, but was merely stating his role.

"However, the plasma railgun of the Mastodon tank cannot lock onto aerial targets due to the limitations of the turret's elevation and depression angles."
