Chapter 428 "Takeover"

Gawain should have thought that no amount of nonsense with Tyr, a saltwater fish, would be as effective as letting her eat a "snack". Seeing Tyr's face full of interest, he felt that the saliva just now was all wasted .

But it's not bad, the process is not important, as long as the saltwater fish is willing to help.

The verification-type rainbow device is a rather huge weapon, and the supporting energy module required by the rainbow device is even more impressive than its own huge volume. According to the technical report provided by Kamel, the rainbow device The device needs a stable supply of energy for a long time to operate effectively, and the magic capacitors used by all kinds of magic crystal railguns can not meet this requirement, which determines that a rainbow device should be built on a fixed magic net to become a fixed turret , or you have to "drag" a large area of ​​the magic net battlefield, and with Cecil's current transportation technology, it is very difficult to transport the rainbow device from land to the front line and ensure that it can be turned on.

It's not that it can't be done - it can be done by sending the parts piecemeal and in batches and then constructing on the battlefield, but the time required is too long, which is not in line with Gawain's "take the rock in a short period of time". "Fortress" requirements, and with the kind of slow assembling of the rainbow device, Philip should be able to blast away the fortress wall with the magic crystal cannon, so the new weapon will completely lose the meaning of appearance.

The best option is to use a boat to send the Rainbow Device directly to the foot of the Rock Fortress using the natural waterway of the Baishui River.

In any case, the transportation capacity of large cargo ships is far better than land transportation, and the volume of the ship itself is large enough to facilitate the installation of various magical mechanisms inside, coupled with transportation through rivers, Gawain's conception uses The plan of cooling the Hongguang device with the river water from the Baishui River is also more convenient to implement, so no matter how you look at it, water transportation is the best solution.

In fact, even without the "Rainbow Device", Gawain had long been arranging to build his own surface combat force-after annihilating Count Peibo's army on the White Water River, he captured a group of southern nobles' "warships" ”, and then arranged for a group of craftsmen and magicians to try to modernize and renovate those ships - it's not that he didn't want to build a new batch, but shipbuilding is really a technical job, and he himself was a keyboard warrior in his last life. The accumulated written knowledge is not enough to build practically usable modern ships, and the existing shipbuilding technology in this world has undergone severe technological dynastic and retrogression. "Fleet" ships are inland ships of the same level, so he had to choose to modernize on the basis of the warships captured by himself, on the one hand to save time and cost, and on the other hand to accumulate technology.

But the rebuilding of those ships isn't complete -- and has even recently encountered technical problems with power.

The rock fortress was about to go to war, and he didn't have time to wait for his battleship to be slowly rebuilt, so after thinking about it, he decided to come to the ready-made "water transport experts" on the territory to help. It should be trustworthy in this regard.

Of course, in a cautious and prudent manner, Gawain did not put all his hopes on Tyre—in case the saltwater fish made up his mind to sleep in the pool until the end of his life, he also had a backup plan: The big deal is to give Philip a few more cannons, and are you afraid that the door of the rock fortress will not be opened?

No matter how strong the magic shield of the Rock Fortress is, it cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery.

After promising to help and confirming again and again that she really had snacks to eat, Till's excitement slowly faded, she yawned loudly, and sleepiness appeared in her eyes again: "Speaking of you, you still have something to do. No? If I'm fine, I'll go back to sleep...I'll go to the dock when I wake up..."

Gawain glanced at the Kraken who had begun to slowly sink in the water,

Suddenly I really remembered one thing: "By the way, there is really something - the son of the storm is fighting the siren again, do you know what's going on?"

"Ah? It's fighting again?" Tyr bubbling up from the water again, with a cute face, "Isn't this season not long after the stars returned? My sisters should all be eating on the seabed before they eat. Right... we don't go digging squid, and we don't go around the islands and reefs of the children of the storm, why are those brain-damaged humans going crazy?"

Gawain looked at Tyre's visceral puzzled expression, and frowned slightly: "So, you don't know what happened."

"Of course I don't know," Tyre shook his head, "I've been staying right under your nose, how can I know about the deep sea—but then again, how did you know about it?"

"I have my own information channel," Gawain said perfunctorily instead of answering the other party's question directly, then he noticed Tyr's indifferent look, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you worried? What's going on at home?"

"There's nothing to worry about, those children of the storm can't handle any big waves, the ocean is a siren," Tyr said casually, and then yawned, "And it's a long way to swim back from here, so I'd better save up my stamina. Alright... When will I feel strong... Then consider going back and have a look..."

Looking at the appearance of this salted fish essence, Gawain felt that this guy might not be able to go back in this life.

He shook his head helplessly, turned and left Tyre's pool with Amber, but when the two were about to reach the door, a sound of water suddenly came from the pool, Miss Kraken crawled on the edge of the pool, watching Gao Wen: "Ah, I just thought of a possibility..."

Gawain turned to look at her: "What is the possibility?"

"The endless sea is shrouded in magical storms. The sea is the first place to observe changes in magical power, and it is also the most vulnerable place to be affected by magical power," Tyr said with a thoughtful look on his face, "Those children of the storm are at sea. It's been too long, maybe...they can feel the tide coming."

Gawain's expression became serious, and after a serious silence for half a minute, he nodded slightly to Tyre: "Thank you for your reminder."

Tyre didn't say much, just waved his hand in the pool, then leaned his upper body back and fell back, and continued to use that arrogant and domineering sleeping position to turn his belly in the water and start to sleep.

After leaving Tyre's room, Amber couldn't help muttering: "Magic tide, magic tide... If only this kind of thing didn't exist... Every time someone reminds me, I feel hairy all over."

"It's good to get used to it. We were closer to the magic tide back then," Gawain said indifferently, "No matter how the magic tide comes, as long as people are still alive, they have to live their lives as usual."

"Okay, as you always say, there is a tall one on the sky anyway - you must be able to hold it for a long time when you are so big," Amber's ears twitched, putting aside the magic tide for the time being , "I'm so sleepy, I have nothing else to do today, right?"

"It's all right today," Gawain nodded, "but there's something going on tomorrow—you and I will go to Glenland."

It's time to "receive" the Glenland with a lot of fanfare before the big army sets off.

...

Gawain Cecil's army marched into Glenland.

The brightly flagged and brightly armored Cecil fighters entered the Gren without any resistance, and soon planted Cecil's flag on the walls of Rockbreaker, on the top of a steep cliff. In the castle, nervous servants and retainers finally waited for the "final result" of this "noble war" - they ushered in the new owner of this land.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the whole truth.

Since the outbreak of this war that completely changed the situation in the South, and the whereabouts of the hostess of the territory is unknown, one-third of the people in the Split Stone Castle have fled, and the remaining two-thirds are still maintained under the strong control of the butler. The order in the city (of course, the help of the MI agents and steel rangers hidden in the castle is indispensable), but the relatively stable order hides the tension that permeates the entire territory.

For those who don't know the truth, the news of the fiasco of the allied nobles is bad news, which means that they will soon become captives and slaves of Cecil, the land will be looted, the wealth will be looted, and as for when the looting will come And to what extent, it all depends on when the "raging ancestor" will be free.

Now, the old ancestor seems to be free.

But the "looting" they feared was destined to never come.

Wearing armor, Gawain entered the Cracked Stone Castle in a majestic manner. Recalling the restless Ge Lan retainers and servants he had seen along the way, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head: Luo Penny Glen obviously couldn't put it down. Her secret covenant with Cecil was made public. People in this castle still don’t know that their mistress is standing with Cecil at all. Naturally, they never imagined that Cecil wouldn’t touch them at all. wealth. It's a pity that even now, Gawain can't explain this to most of the people in the castle, and he has to completely control the entire castle, even the entire Glen Territory, to prevent the real situation after Cecil's army enters the territory. The details come out.

Although the traditional nobles in the rock fortress can almost be said to have no intelligence system, he cannot allow the slightest accident to appear.

It's just this subtle tension... It's really a bit confusing.

But fortunately, he didn't care much about it. After leading the soldiers into the city and doing some superficial work, he came to the depths of the castle and came to the door of the room with the big window.

The maid at the door of the room had a relationship with Gawain, but when we met last time, Gawain was a guest of the castle, but this time he was standing here in the posture of a "conqueror", and the maid was inevitably nervous. She looked at Gawain as if facing a big enemy, trying to summon up that little bit of courage, as if she wanted to protect her little master - but this courage almost ran out when Gawain spoke.

"Open the door," Gawain said, "I came to see Patty."

"...Miss is resting..."

"Don't be nervous," Gawain smiled, "I'm Patty's friend."

The maid at the door seemed to want to say something, but at this moment the door was opened from the inside, and another maid who was in charge of taking care of Patty came out and looked at Gawain in awe: "Miss wants to see you."

Gawain nodded, and before stepping into the room, he glanced approvingly at the maid at the door: "You are very brave."

In the room, Patty was sitting in her special chair in the brightest sun of the day.

She looked much better than when we first met, and it was clear that Pittman's several visits to treat her had been fruitful.

"It's Uncle Gao Wen!" The moment she saw Gao Wen, the little girl became excited, she showed a big smile, supported her head hard, and shook her only movable arm, "Come and see me. !"

Gawain came to Patty, smiled and bent down: "As promised, I will come to see you."

The little girl looked very happy. This sunny room seemed to be a different world from the castle full of tension outside. Here, the cloud of war seemed to have never appeared for a moment. Patty excitedly talked to Gawain a lot. At the end, he asked, "Uncle Gao Wen, when will mother be back?"

"Soon," Gao Wen squatted in front of the little girl and said with a smile, "I'll bring her back this time."

The little girl's head was shaking, she was nodding, but she couldn't control the degree of nodding well: "Oh, I miss her a bit."

"You don't seem to be afraid at all," Gawain touched Patty's hair lightly, he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting the child, "You know, your mother is actually fighting with me."

"I know," Patty said, then paused for a few seconds before a small, sly smile broke out on her scarred face, "but... uncle, you're actually mom's friend? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"

Gawain was stunned for a while, then smiled helplessly.

Then he got up, said goodbye to Patty, and left the room into the hallway.

The middle-aged butler who served Lopeni Glenn faithfully and maintained order in the castle after the "whereabouts of the Countess was unknown" stood in the corridor waiting for him.

"I heard Luo Penny say that you are trustworthy."
