Chapter 669: Gawain's Conjecture

The clues that Amber found were somewhat unexpected to Gawain - he had guessed that Surrey Randolph might be some despicable nobleman, or he might have been deprived of his title due to sin and had to remain anonymous, but he did not expect him It was a royal shadow guard who defected, but he defected during the mission to find Gondor's legacy... This is inevitably reminiscent.

It seems that the Ansu royal family is not really ignorant of the secrets buried in the dark mountains. Although most of the related inheritance has been lost due to the civil strife in the foggy moon, they should still have some clues. At least, they know the dark mountains. there is something in it.

Of course, the premise of this speculation is that Surrey Randolph is really looking for a stronghold of rebellion, not another Gondor heritage.

"At present, we haven't found any other entrances and exits in the fortress of disobedience. As for the entrance that has been found, there is no sign that it has been opened," Gawain said while thinking, "and even if he really entered the fortress of disobedience, it cannot be explained. His betrayal—it was just an ancient scientific research base, what could there be to make a royal shadow guard betray his king?"

"I don't understand either... Looking back now, he was really a person who never mentioned his past, and his life was a mess," Amber shook his head, his voice a little low, "He always took me everywhere. , frequently changing addresses, falsifying identities, and surviving under the noses of local nobles, most of our energy is spent on this, which made me have a very bad opinion of him for a long time...but Now that I think about it, there's a reason for his actions."

"The royal family will not let a defected royal shadow guard so easily, they must have been looking for him in the south for a long time, so he must hide in Tibet, and he cannot use his status as an extraordinary person to seek a more decent job-because all the followers The business related to the superhuman is monitored by the nobles, so he can only be a thief, or occasionally take some mercenary tasks as a wanderer, and he can't be in contact with other mercenaries for too long to prevent those mercenaries. The identity behind it is the black gloves of a certain noble."

Amber's mouth was flat, "That's probably what happened..."

Gawain began to ask some details of the year, "Was Pittman already with you at that time?"

Amber scratched his hair, "Pitman and my adoptive father have been friends since I can remember, but I don't know exactly when they met - half-elves don't have as good a memory as humans in childhood, I don't know. It seems to be more serious, and my memory of that time is vague."

"A defector to the Royal Shadow Guard who was in hiding, and made a friend like Pitman while in hiding.

Don't you think it's weird in itself? Gawain raised his eyelids, "A person who is escaping the pursuit of the royal family would not befriend a stranger under normal circumstances, unless there is a reason for it - has your adoptive father mentioned this reason to you?" "

Amber frowned, "He didn't tell me, I only heard the two of them bragging and said that they wanted to become the strongest band of robbers in the South - but the reason is definitely not reliable."

"You don't know, Pittman must know," Gawain said. "If there is a chance, maybe he will be willing to say it."

Pittman, a druid who is both an eternal sleeper and a god of death, hides many secrets behind his seemingly sloppy little old man image. Gawain knows that he must still be hiding a lot of things, among them. Maybe about Surrey Randolph.

In the past, Pittman did not tell anyone these secrets, which may be a protective measure, but now Amber has found clues to his adoptive father, and more importantly, the former Ansu kingship has ended, and Amber himself has even included it. All the royal shadow guards, then some things that couldn't be said back then should be able to say it now.

"I'll ask him," Amber nodded. "After so many years, it's time for him to tell me what happened back then."

"Well," Gawain pondered for a moment, then continued, "another point, can you roughly tell when you were adopted by Surrey?? Randolph? How long after he arrived in the South? After years of incognito , or did he have an adopted daughter by his side when he decided to defect?"

"Then I don't know," Amber grabbed her hair again, her ears shaking, "Why are you asking this? What did you think of?"

"A hypothesis that seems very likely to me," Gawain looked at Amber in front of him, and his associative abilities were fully used. "Have you ever thought that Surrey Randolph's defection might have something to do with you?"

"Me?" Amber stared at himself, with a "are you kidding me" expression on his face, "What did you say! I was a child back then!"

"What if the mission recorded on this is fake? What if he went to the Dark Mountains to find not some Gondor relic, but you?" Gawain pointed to the scroll on the table, "We can make a bold assumption, maybe His real task is actually to find a half-blood elf with a special bloodline and give it to the Anzu royal family, or more extreme... The task is to kill the half-blood elf, and he fails to do so at the last minute, then everything It can be explained."

Amber stared at Gawain dumbfounded, as if he was deeply shocked by the other's imagination. After a long while, he said, "Speculation is not speculation, Lenovo is not just thinking... You are almost making up a story, right? The evidence——Dangtang An The Su royal family, what are you looking for a half-blood elf to do when you are full, and a royal shadow guard for this..."

"That's why I said, maybe it's because of your special bloodline, don't forget that you only know that half of your bloodline is an elf, and the other half of your bloodline is a mystery, you know your biological father is an elf, do you know who your mother is? ?" Gawain tapped on the table lightly, "And don't forget a very important point about the Shadow Signet."

The expression on Amber's face suddenly froze, apparently she had recalled the origin and characteristics of that ring.

Gawain looked at her and said slowly, "You can also use Francis II's Shadow Signet, and you also have an identical ring that has lost its magic power. This clue... don't you care?"

Amber thought for a while, suddenly pressed his chest nervously, and took a deep breath, "Mom... I'm not really a remnant of the previous dynasty!!"

Gawain finally managed to keep his serious expression until now, "That's not how the word remnants of the past is used!"

"Don't correct my words at this time," Amber waved his hand vigorously, "The possibility you mentioned really made me doubt myself a little bit, obviously it's just a guesswork without evidence... Well, it's a little bit now. Evidence, but is it possible?"

"I'm just talking about my thoughts. I'm afraid no one knows about the specific situation except Surrey Randolph himself," Gawain shook his head, "but no matter what the truth was back then, even if it was the same as what I guessed, It doesn't make any sense now - the Ansu kingship has ended, no matter what the king wanted your adoptive father to do in the south, this purpose has disappeared with the end of the dynasty, you are now free, don't think too much many."

After a moment of silence in thought, Amber finally exhaled and smiled again, "You're also saying... the old royal family is gone, so what am I still worried about."

She seemed to have put down some burden, and in a short period of time, she replied that she didn't care about anything on weekdays. After this topic was over, she asked Gawain about the next step. "The current order in Saint Sunil has been The general stabilization, the transfer of power in all aspects and the formation of the new management structure have been completed, is it time for you to consider the next step?"

"Yeah..." Gawain leaned back and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, "We've stayed in this city long enough."

After a few taps on the armrest, he turned to Amber. "How is the situation in the East?"

"The manpower sent by Grand Duchess Victoria has already joined with General Maryland, and the local nobles in the Eastern Region are basically cooperating with them. They even put together a reserve army to consolidate the Changfeng Fortress defense line together with the Cecil Corps. ."

"As expected," Gawain nodded, "Eastern nobles should be the most rescued group among the many decaying nobles in the old Ansu Kingdom. Although they also have all the problems of the old nobles, because they are threatened by Typhon all the year round, they also have Luo The Lun family is effectively governed, and the local nobles are still sober when faced with the war situation. However, the reserve army they cobble together should not be of much use... The real elites of the Eastern Territory have all been wiped out in the Holy Spirit Plain, and the only ones left are The troops stationed in Changfeng Fortress are reliable, and the reserve troops and leading nobles from other places will not be much stronger than the private soldiers of ordinary nobles. What else?"

Amber sorted out the information he had, and continued, "There seems to be no movement on the Typhon frontier, but Maryland is worried that the other side may be secretly accumulating power, and is now trying to collect information and be alert to Typhon's invasion at any time.

"The Baisha Mining Company has taken over the mine again, and has begun to repair the railway damaged by the giant deer. At the same time, according to your order, the engineering team is continuing to extend the previous Eastern Railway, and strive to be able to drive the Iron Throne to the place in the autumn. Near Changfeng Fortress - with armored trains, we won't have to worry about Typhon so much.

"As for the repair of the Iron Throne...it will take about half a month. It has lost two arsenal section carriages, and the power ridge and shield group of the car body are also damaged by overloading, and the damage is very serious. It is located in Glen City and Cecil City. Two of our heavy-duty factories are working overtime to try to compress the cycle a little more.”

"In any case, the Iron Throne must restore its combat power as soon as possible, even if only half of the train is transported to the border," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "After the war, our troops are insufficient, even if we have advanced weapons and equipment, the current defenders of Changfeng Fortress will not be able to. It must be able to stop the organized Legion of Transcendents from the Typhons."

Amber frowned, "Do you think the Typhons will really fight at this window?"

"They have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but the error and delay in the intelligence may make them miss this opportunity," Gawain said, "Rosetta Augustus must be watching the war on the Plains of the Holy Spirit, but It was difficult for him to grasp exactly how much we lost in the war - whether we were victorious or victorious, which directly affected whether he would order an attack."

The people of Typhon were waiting for Ansu to shed blood. Gawain understood this very early on, and in fact, the plan of the Emperor Rosetta has been successful for the most part - despite the variable of Cecil's rise, but In general, all areas of Ansu except the southern border have been severely damaged in this war. Large areas of grain production have been turned into scorched earth, a large number of grain reserves have been polluted or burned, and a large number of youth forces have been consumed. Under this situation, Even a thin southern border, no matter how elite, would be stretched out evenly on this huge country.

That Emperor Typhon had indeed waited until Ansu was in a state of great decline. He attacked at this moment and would be done once and for all—but due to the inefficiency and error of information transmission in this era, he may not have had time to realize this.

Gawain knew that he was a ruler who was strong enough to make a decision, but also cautious and cunning. His strong decision could guarantee that as long as the emperor's order was issued, all the war machines of the Typhon Empire would be activated in an instant and attack Changfeng Fortress with all their strength. But his prudence...if used properly, it might be able to win Cecil a life-saving respite.

He said to Amber, "Find a way to make the Typhons confused about Cecil's real situation, and find a way to make Rosetta?? Augustus overestimate the defense of Longwind Fortress, and overestimate that we will keep it after the war. Strength."

Amber thought for a while, "I will help General Maryland formulate a plan, let him show the information of 'Cecile's victory', and try to make Changfeng Fortress show a state of sufficient military strength..."

"That's not enough, Rosetta?? Augustus is a very formidable opponent. He won't just stare at Changfeng Fortress," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "Domestic propaganda must quickly unify its caliber. The war must be a big victory with minor damage. Our reserves are sufficient. Young and middle-aged people are motivated by the victory to join the army. The Ansu royal family’s resignation should be publicized more decently. There are ten non-existent content in the border legion.

"So far our propagandists have done a good job in these areas, but the propaganda efforts in the Eastern Region are far weaker than in the Southern Region... This must be made up for immediately.

"In addition, our trade with Typhon must be maintained, not only maintained, but also expanded - Cecil has taken over this vast territory, and our demand and output can only increase, not decrease, and must Is a huge increase...the only way to avoid Rosetta?? Augustus guessing how much population we lost.

"Don't worry that Cecil can't handle such a large scale of trade, the throughput capacity of the magic industry is amazing, and I have arranged for Baldwin?? Franklin Archduke to negotiate with the Ogure Tribal Nation, the gray elves over there And the dwarves are very interested in our alchemy potions and textiles, and by trading with them, we can pass on most of the pressure..."

Gawain spoke his thoughts one by one, and his goal was very clear, that is, to mislead the ruler of Typhon.

As long as we grasp the rules of information transmission in this era and identify its backwardness and various loopholes, it is possible to achieve this goal.

Of course, Rosetta?? Augustus is by no means lacking in wisdom, and Typhon also has his own intelligence department. Even if this kind of misleading is successful, it should not last for too long, but what Gawain wants is short-term misleading—— All he needs now is the time to "gasp and return to blood" after the war. As long as the Iron Throne regains its combat power and reaches the border, this year's grain harvest will be bumper, and Cecil's next batch of recruits will complete the training and deployment, then he will have a chance to stop him. The confidence of Feng's offensive, and if he can be misled for a longer time, he can even get through this winter, so that Emperor Rosetta will not react until next spring... At that time, he will be more at ease.

Amber kept in mind the things that Gawain explained, and at the same time, she has begun to select trustworthy subordinates in her heart—she is not only the leader of the intelligence department, but also a participant and executor of many secret plans, especially this one. What Zikaowen has to do must be the participation of a large number of MI agents, so she must prepare from now on.

After writing down the things one by one, she raised her head and her ears twitched slightly. "Besides these, there are other things that should be put on the agenda, right?"

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

"A grand coronation," Amber stretched out his hand and drew a big circle, as if to reinforce the word "grand", "The situation is stable, the handover of power is completed, and the management structure is formed, the ruler of the Cecil Empire should not announce Has a new era come? And this is also a window to send a signal to Typhon..."

Having been by Gawain's side for so long, this half-elf has also learned a lot of new and useful words. Hearing this guy say such reasonable words, even Gawain couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, this one. Things should be on the agenda.”

He didn't care about the so-called "coronation ceremony" before, because stabilizing the situation and resuming production was the top priority, but now the "coronation ceremony" has a special role. As a person who grasps value, he also needs to Take this matter seriously.

"When are you going to be crowned?" Amber blinked and said expectantly.

I don't know what this guy is expecting.

"Wait until a special 'cargo' is transported from the White Sands to Saint-Sunil," Gawain said, "but before that, preparations can begin."

"Special goods?" Amber reacted, vaguely guessing what Gawain meant, "...Ah, that's really suitable as a decoration for the new emperor's coronation... But you originally planned to be crowned in Saint Sunil. Is it?"

"Actually, I was thinking about Cecil City at first, but Hetty's suggestion made me change my mind." The sword and shield emblem, but has now been replaced by a flag of sword and plow, "Here the kingship of Anzu ends, and the new empire begins here."

The coronation ceremony is for people to see, so let it show the best effect——

Gawain wanted to let the old nobles of Saint Sunil see clearly, let the church, army, and old royal courtiers here see clearly, let them see the alternation of the old and new eras with their own eyes, and have a deep enough understanding of the process. Only in this way can we further ensure the stability of the follow-up process of restructuring.

This ancient and young country really can no longer withstand the slightest confusion and hesitation.
