Chapter 1341 Blocking Wall Plan
The cold winter is coming to an end, but the lingering thick fog still covers Aldernan for a long time. The undulating fog hazes the capital of Typhon, which is known as the "Millennium City". Turned into weird silhouettes and phantoms in the fog, Rosetta Augustus stood on the top of the Obsidian Palace overlooking the city. The dense fog in front of him made him think of the war that is now gradually spreading to the entire civilized world .
This war will not end soon. After the initial bloody battle like a storm and the crisis that almost got out of control, the borders of civilized countries and wasteland are gradually turning into a kind of stalemate. On the front line, the two forces of order and chaos ebb and flow, deeply entangled, and there is no sign of a huge change in the situation. Now that winter is coming to an end, the battle on the border may resume with the arrival of the recovery month. Turned into white heat.
But in such a stalemate, the scholars of the Cecil Empire seem to have found some kind of "solution" to end everything.
"The blocking wall that runs through the wasteland of Gondor..." the ruler of the Typhon Empire said in a low voice, as if talking to himself, "Diana, what do you think of this matter?"
As Rosetta finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly appeared from the darkness beside him. The black-haired maid who had served the Augustus family for centuries had her eyelids downcast, and her voice was soft and respectful: " I'm sorry Your Majesty, but my knowledge reserve is not enough to interpret this question—my knowledge of the wasteland is not much better than that of ordinary anthropologists, and I have no way of judging whether the theoretical model proposed by Cecil scholar is correct."
"This model... is probably correct. Its main proposer is Ms. High Tower. We all know who that lady is," Rosetta said solemnly. "The point is, we built" What is the probability of success of the "blocking wall"——according to the information sent by Cecil City, we need to build at least two blocking walls through the wasteland from the north-south and east-west directions, in order to end the "chaos domain" For the alliance countries that have just recovered from the large-scale attack of the mutants, this is already an extremely difficult thing to accomplish, and the group of dark priests in the wasteland and the 'sentinels' behind them It is even more impossible to sit back and watch us finish this matter..."
"Indeed," Diana nodded lightly, "Never mind those dark priests, the 'sentinels' behind them have the knowledge of the sailors, and they will definitely react to the alliance's intentions after we start building the blocking wall—— The deeper we go into the wasteland, the greater the blocking pressure we will face."
"...But if the theoretical model proposed by Ms. High Tower is correct, then this is the only way to end this disaster," Rosetta said in a deep voice, "and from the very beginning, recover the ancient country of Gondor and break through the wasteland pollution area It is the ultimate goal of the Alliance's 'Counterattack Wasteland' plan, and you should be very clear that we have never given up on this plan."
"So, you have already made a decision," Diana said calmly, "but you need a stronger reason to support your decision."
"...The current Typhon Empire,
There is no capital to make a second mistake. We need to mobilize the power of the whole country to support this plan. Just like what Gawain Cecil often said, there is no turning back when you start a bow. This means that I must carefully consider this plan. Is it worth our gamble, and there is a more important point: most of the alliance countries are just struggling to maintain the front line, and the only countries that can march into the wasteland and push back are us and Cecil, once we start If we build a blocking wall into the wasteland, then all the pressure will be concentrated on us in an instant. How much help can other alliance countries provide us in this situation? It's a complete unknown..."
"You don't want to bet on Typhon's fate," Diana said frankly and calmly, looking into Rosetta Augustus' eyes, "this is a logical judgment, then you want to hear my opinion Is it?"
"More than ever."
"Seven hundred years ago, when the Well of Deep Blue exploded, we didn't even have the qualifications to gamble," Diana said slowly, "Your Majesty, we may not always have the opportunity to choose the 'best solution', or... …with no other choice, the only path available to us is the best in itself.”
"...Help me connect to the special line with Cecil." Rosetta pondered for a long time, and finally breathed out softly, "I want to talk to Gawain Cecil directly."
...
The brilliance brought by the magic spar lamp illuminates the long and deep corridor in the elf frontier fortress "Fabuti". The towering narrow windows with exquisite patterns are inlaid on the top of the corridor wall, and the dim yellow sky outside can be seen faintly. The silver queen Belsetia, dressed in military uniform, walked quickly through the corridor, and the crisp sound of her heels hitting the stone floor followed.
The maid Elaine followed the queen step by step, and kept her head slightly lowered as she walked forward quickly and said in a low voice: "...we successfully repelled the army of deformed bodies that besieged Greta Fortress, but The southern highlands of Greta Fortress fell briefly and were occupied for more than four hours—now the magisters are examining the remaining traces to determine whether those monsters have dropped rune stones near the highlands."
Belsetia didn't look back: "Is there a natural magic power focus there? Are there any local legends about forest spirits or supernatural phenomena?"
"Yes, there is a very powerful natural magic focus in the southern highlands. Half of the magic towers in Greta Fortress rely on drawing magic from that focus to maintain automatic operation."
"Then assume that those monsters have already been captured. This kind of post-mortem investigation is of limited significance... No, let the magisters continue to investigate, maybe they will find valuable clues," Belsetia spoke quickly, "O How is King Driss?"
Elaine replied immediately: "The king was injured, but there is no danger of his life. Now he has returned to Gaoshan City to recuperate. Prince Lorraine and Ranger General Karl have taken over the defense of Greta Fortress. To increase troops, we also sent a thousand-year-old warrior group to support, there should be no problem there."
"It shouldn't be a problem to keep it—the key to the problem is the source of those aberrations. Their number exceeds expectations, and their travel route is disturbing." Belsetia frowned, "Do you still remember the previous reconnaissance in the northwest direction? Is there any news from the soldiers? On the northwest border of the Gaoling Kingdom, traces of a large number of aberrations gathering operations have been found...but there is no gap in the magnificent wall in that direction."
Yi Lian's footsteps subconsciously paused, her expression became ugly: "You mean..."
"That was the Western Front Army that originally attacked the Ogure Tribal Country—we have received information before that an expeditionary force from the Cecil Empire has entered Ogure and stopped the aberrations' actions on the Western Front," Bell said. Setia glanced at her maid, and said with a serious expression, "Now it seems that the information is correct, and... the aberrant army that originally attacked the Ogule Tribal Country has begun to go south."
Elaine slowly opened her eyes wide. She followed Belsetia's footsteps and seemed to want to say something, but the next second, she noticed that the Silver Queen's pace suddenly slowed down, and the expression on her face changed slightly. Variety.
"Your Majesty?" Elaine subconsciously said, "What happened?"
"Eileen, back away from the left and right sides," Belsetia said in a low voice with a slightly serious expression, "Come with me to the next room."
Yi Lian froze for a moment, quickly reacted, and immediately ordered the accompanying attendants and guards to retreat, and then walked to the nearest wooden door with the Silver Queen—it was an empty room next to the corridor, which should be full of people. sundries.
However, Belsetia's expression became very solemn when she came to the old and mottled wooden door. She adjusted her breathing before solemnly nodding to her personal maid: "Okay, open the door." .”
Yi Lian took a deep breath, took a step forward and gently pushed open the ordinary-looking wooden door. With the soft "squeak" sound of the door shaft turning, the door opened—but behind the door was not a room, nor a room. There is no trace of anything related to the "Fabiti" fortress.
It was an unusually open forest clearing, which appeared behind an ordinary door in Fabuti Fortress in a strange way that completely defied common sense. There was a fresh and soft breeze blowing in front of you, mixed with some real and unreal scenes. The smell of fresh soil and grass leaves, and countless towering ancient trees surround the open space, making the distant sky show brilliant and fragmented forms among the treetops.
Elaine and Belsetia stepped forward, stepping over the "barrier" formed by the door, they stepped onto the soft grass, and a rustling sound sounded from the nearby woods almost at the same time, as if a The huge body is passing through these plants, and is about to appear in front of the two elf masters and servants.
Belsetia was not surprised by this. She was already familiar with what would happen next. She adjusted her expression and looked in the direction of the sound. In the next second, a huge body enveloped in holy white light appeared in front of her. In the field of vision, the giant deer Amoen walked through the forest path, stepped gracefully into the forest clearing, and nodded slightly to Belsetia and Elaine: "I am glad to see that you are safe and sound, I am here again gone."
"Hello, Mr. Amorn," Belsetia immediately greeted each other politely. This former god is now a "messenger" connecting the north and south ends of the mainland. His presence is crucial to supporting the situation on the southern battlefield. It has extraordinary significance for the Silver Empire, but after greeting her, she immediately noticed that the state of the holy giant deer seemed to be slightly different from the last time she met, "Ah, you seem to be... small a little bit?"
She was sure that she was not mistaken. Although Amoen still has a huge body today, she was definitely smaller than when she met last time. It seemed a bit strange to pay attention to this kind of thing at this time, but she still endured it. I couldn't help asking.
"Ah, this is a little intentional adjustment." Amon looked down at himself and explained casually, "What you saw was my avatar, and I've been trying to change the shape of my avatar recently... don't worry about it. "
Belsetia actually wanted to ask why the other party did these things suddenly, but she felt that the occasion was inappropriate, so she forcibly controlled her self-reporting to divert her attention, and asked with a serious expression: "Excuse me Is there any important information to pass this time?"
"Yes, but first I want to understand the situation on the southern front," Amon hung his neck, "How is the situation here?"
"...The defense line is still stable, but I have to say that the situation is not very good, and it may deteriorate at any time," Belsetia said frankly after hesitating for less than a second, "Greta on the northwest border of the Gaoling Kingdom The fort has just encountered a ferocious attack far beyond expectations, a large number of mutants surged from the north, and we paid a high price to eliminate them, and this may be just the beginning."
Amorn's tone suddenly changed: "A large number of distortions surging from the north?"
"Yes—we judge that it should be the Aberration Corps that attacked the Western Front before," Belsetia said, "Those monsters finished their supply after a brief collapse, and now...they are heading south."
"...This is crucial information," Amon said in a deep voice, and then changed his tone, "Then this also shows...the pressure on the southern front is about to increase rapidly."
"Yes, this is a foreseeable change."
"...If the pressure on the western front subsides due to this, the Western Expeditionary Force and the Air and Space Battle Group of the Dawn of the World should be able to free up combat power to move to the southern front. The Imperial Fleet led by the Winter will also enter the 'Holy River' in the near future. provide support to the northwest border of the Ridge Kingdom," Amoen said after a short thought, which sounded like comforting words, but it was very necessary for the Silver Queen at the moment, and then he paused for a while before continuing, "In addition, I came here this time to pass on a plan—from the Cecil Empire, a plan jointly formulated by Gawain Cecil and the 'Master of Ten Thousand Laws' Mir Mina."
"Uncle Gawain and... Goddess of Magic?" Belsetia couldn't hide her astonishment, "What are they trying to do?"
"Permanently terminate the 'operation' of the wasteland," Amorn said without a word, "completely end this disaster."
Maybe it was because what the other party said was too shocking, or maybe after centuries of exploration and hard work, the Silver Queen couldn't believe that this moment would appear in front of her eyes like this, she subconsciously asked: "...what is this?" Seriously? What are they going to do?"
"Really, Milmina has found the mechanism behind the existence of the wasteland and the aberrations. I have brought this part of the detailed information. After that, you can slowly study it with your scholar consultants. As for the specific plan——we It is necessary to build at least two 'blocking walls' in the wasteland to stop the energy cycle in that chaotic realm. And the most critical part of these 'blocking walls'... is the one that the Silver Empire provided to the mainland countries. purification technology.
"Currently, only Cecil, Typhon, and the Silver Empire, the original provider of this technology, have the ability to manufacture purification devices in large quantities in the alliance."
After Amorn's voice fell, the "clearing" seemed a little quiet for a while. After a few seconds, Belsetia spoke with a complicated expression: "Indeed, we still have many production lines that can still be used, and we can manufacture That kind of purification device, but given the current situation on the southern battlefield... Even if the purification device is built, we probably have no spare power to send those things into the wasteland, let alone resist the ensuing counterattack of the dark priest .”
