Chapter 633 Plan
After two days of recuperation, Victoria's state had obviously recovered a lot, but a trace of weakness and exhaustion still lingered in her eyes, which she had tried to cover up. Gawain glanced at the northern duchess and reminded him: "Fort Tulip Deep in the contaminated area and not part of our next attack plan - it's one thing for Sonya to fly over there without decontaminating the whole area, it's another thing to land there."
"But it's not impossible," Victoria looked into Gawain's eyes without evasion, her face still lacked the expression change, but there was a determination in her tone, "Those monsters are now in a state of frenzy, on the other hand In other words, that means they're not organized, they're no longer supporting each other, they're no longer having units like sentries, and they're not being so alert - we can sneak in, as long as we don't make too much noise, we don't get too alarmed. There are so many monsters, I may send the news quietly."
"...I admit that this seems to be possible," Gawain nodded after a brief thought, "but are you sure you want to go in person?"
"Not every mage can spread the news to Saint Sunil just by the increase of a mage tower, which requires profound spellcasting skills and huge magic power," Victoria said in a calm tone of stating the facts, "This matter It's safest to let me go."
Then, before Gawain asked more questions, the duchess continued: "I heard that Belk of the Lauren family lit the first beacon.
"I have been unable to achieve his feats, but as the head of the Wilder family, at least I can't shy away from what I could have done."
When a noble takes his family's reputation on the table, it usually means that his will has been decided.
"We can give it a try, at least it's a plan," Gawain finally nodded, "but there is one point, we have to think of a safer way to send you to Tulip Fort - the giant eagle's bearing capacity is limited, Sonia It can only lead the way, there is no way to fly with you, and the flying height and speed of the griffin are not good, and it is easy to be shot down by the cluster giant after going deep into the polluted area. Generally speaking, it is not safe to pass through the air."
"Is there a safer way?" There was a hint of confusion in Victoria's tone-crossing the polluted area from the air and landing in the Tulip Castle was the most possible solution she could think of. She really couldn't think of any other way than This is more secure, you can't hit it all the way from the ground covered with cluster giants, right?
Gawain smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Amber...
The moment Gawain started to smile, the half-elf lady froze for a moment, and then she realized that this matter could not be avoided, she curled her lips: "Going to the shadow world is a way - but let me explain in advance, I Acting in the shadow world is also costly, depending on whether there will be unstable shadow fissures and the deadly 'big hole' in the middle,
I wouldn't necessarily be able to get people as far as Tulip Fort if the road wear was too much - I'd also have to consider the amount of effort it would take to get back. "
"Of course, as long as you can do your best," Gawain nodded, "I will send an armored assault force to send you as close as possible to Fort Tulip, and then you will sneak in to send messages. At the same time, I will send you a message. A strong force will be sent to the direction of San Sunil City at full speed, and we must not waste a single bit of time."
The details of the plan were quickly finalized, and the people who received the order left the room one after another. In the end, only Gawain and Victoria were left in the room.
"Frankly speaking, the current situation is very bad," Gawain said calmly after there was only one Duke of the North left in front of him, "I'm always pessimistic about whether Saint-Sunil can hold on—even though I We have been working hard to get there in time.”
The expression on Victoria's face didn't change, she just asked quietly: "...If Saint Sunil really can't keep it, you have a follow-up plan, don't you?"
"...it is nothing more than giving up the entire northern region and the Holy Spirit Plain, preserving the southern and eastern borders, and building a defense line in the western border as much as possible before the pollution enters the western border." The pressure will bring these areas into submission to the new ruling order, and I have the confidence to stabilize the situation after building a new line of defense and gradually retake the contaminated areas."
Victoria was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say, "It sounds like you basically don't have any expectations for the nobles of the kingdom."
Gao Wen smiled and asked: "It sounds like your expectations are quite high?"
"...I admit that my expectations of them are not as high as they were a few years ago," Victoria said slowly, "but I believe that the city of San Sunil can be held - as long as the news of reinforcements can be delivered in time. Enter the Silver Fort."
Gawain showed an interested expression: "Can I hear the source of your confidence?"
"Archduke Berdwin Franklin, and Welsh Moen," Victoria said, looking at Gawain's eyes with great seriousness, "they will hold the city—as long as reinforcements take, they will hold it."
"...You speak more of Wales Moen than I thought."
"My job was to keep an eye on him, so I know him, the Prince of Wales has never lacked talent, he just took the initiative to step back, but if the kingdom needs it, he will stand up," Victoria said, "and apart from him, apart from Grand Duke Baldwin, there are still many reliable people in the capital. We have Earl of Cromwell White Mountain, the loyal royal knights, and Captain Cohen Rollan—perhaps half of the king’s nobles are thinking about it. Abandon the city and run away, but at least half of it remains, and will choose to stay until the end.”
Gawain looked at Victoria quietly, and the latter also looked at him quietly. After two seconds of staring at each other, the "Grand Duke of Ice and Snow" let out a soft breath.
"I know that our generation has disappointed you, Duke Cecil, perhaps the nobles of Ansu's generation are really rotten, but please believe that not everyone is rotten, there are still many people looking forward to this The kingdom can get back on its feet and work hard for it."
"Including Edmund Morn and Silas Lauren?"
"...including them."
"But they still failed, and so did you. There are many progressives in the capital, and the nobles who are not rotten in your mouth, trying to revitalize this kingdom have all failed. Why do you think they failed? Gawain stared into Victoria's eyes, "Will it suddenly come in and disrupt the situation just because there is a certain death?"
The gaze from the Founding Duke carried an indescribable pressure. Those dark brown eyes were deep and sharp, far surpassing the snow and mountains in the north. Victoria couldn't help holding her breath—for many years, She used majesty to intimidate others. She had almost forgotten what it was like to face such a shock. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to many years ago, back to when she was a child, back to the stern eyes of the previous duke. when.
The father in memory pointed to the badly growing grass in the yard and asked her a question: "What should you do if pruning, fertilizing, watering, and applying pesticides don't work?"
The flashes of memories came and went, and Victoria came back to her senses, with Gawain's deep and sharp eyes still in front of her eyes.
"Actually, you know the answer," Gawain said, "it's just that you can't help yourself."
Victoria was silent.
"We shouldn't be discussing this at this time," Gawain retracted his gaze and changed to a more relaxed sitting posture, "Victoria, you are very good, even in the pioneer generation, you will be an excellent nobleman. After the war, we can slowly think about how to revive the country, but before that, our most important task is to end the war."
"As you said," Victoria sighed softly, then lowered her head solemnly, "In any case, you saved me and the Mountain Legion, and I can't repay this kindness, so no matter what happens in the future, at least I Individuals will be your loyal allies."
After only himself was left in the room, Gawain couldn't help leaning back on the chair and exhaled silently.
"Personal name... It's really not easy for anyone."
After a sigh, he sat up straight and was about to start to formulate a feasible plan for the main force to go north - the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and he could no longer act according to the previous schedule, considering the importance of Saint Sunil City as a portal fortress Because of the nature, he must send a group of combat troops to the north faster than originally planned.
Using those converted civilian cargo ships and using the Gorgon River may be a good plan...
When his plan was just drawn up, the magic net communication terminal placed on the desk suddenly made a humming sound.
Gawain raised his head and glanced at the identifying characters displayed on the holographic projection—the special channel from Cecil City.
The magic net terminal was activated immediately, and after the projection shook briefly, Gawain saw Heidi's face appear in front of his eyes.
"what happened?"
"Miss Till said there is something important to contact." Hetty said briefly, then turned to the side - only then did Gawain see a long snake tail swaying in the background of the picture behind Hetty, The snake's tail arched twice, and Tyre's upper body swayed from the side of the picture to the center of the picture.
"I feel it again," Miss Kraken stared at the holographic projection in front of her. "It's the smell of food! It suddenly became very strong!"
Gawain's heart suddenly became tense - although he had already had expectations and preparations in this regard, when Tyre suddenly came up with this news, he still felt his nerves tense up: "Position, intensity, you can Roughly determine the situation or state of the target?"
"The orientation should be deep in the east of the Holy Spirit Plain, but the exact location is still unclear. It seems to be suppressed or blocked by something, or it is deep underground," Tyr said quickly, "As for the intensity... ...I don't know how to describe it, it feels very subtle. It should be 'alive', which is stronger than the big squid, but its breath is not stable and pure, as if a lot of chaotic breaths have fused together, And it's strong and weak."
Gao Wen took a deep breath.
Is it the "power of the gods" in the hands of the Society for the End of All Things? Is it the "energy source" they use to create and activate the evil? This energy source is out of control? Something like a god is waking up?
So the sudden mutation of the Cluster Legion is related to this out-of-control "God Power"?
All kinds of conjectures came to his mind, Gawain controlled his thoughts and asked the sea monster in front of him: "What is your queen's attitude?"
"She is interested in Biscuits and your arcane energy technology, and is willing to provide assistance. The elemental warp tower is already being prepared over there, but how to cooperate with the action needs to be negotiated," Tyr shook the tip of his tail, With a serious look on his face, he said, "In addition, I want to convey the words of Her Majesty the Queen on your behalf - the siren can only help you deal with 'inhuman things' and will not interfere in the war within human beings. We hope this cooperation will be pure and restrained. Yes, this is a guarantee that we can maintain long-term cooperation in the future.”
"That's enough," Gao Wen nodded sincerely, "Thank you very much for your assistance."
"Don't worry, it's mutually beneficial," Tyr waved his hand and the tip of his tail, and then swayed away from the communication screen, only the voice came from outside the screen, "How did you shut it down? Oh, then shut it down, I go first."
Two seconds later, Hetty reappeared in front of Gawain: "Ancestor, the engineering team sent to the edge of the wasteland has started to return, and the supplementary project of the magnificent wall has been successfully completed."
"Finally there is good news," Gawain let out a sigh of relief, "Very good, let these people rest first, and then arrange for them to build the second-phase tank factory and arsenal, and let the elf magister study magic energy technology. So, assist Rebecca to complete the translation and optimization of the anti-gravity rune."
"Yes."
