Chapter 1126 War Situation

…

Five days later.

Rex meets Sinbad again.

In the medical hospital of the First Military Barracks.

Also coming to visit with him was the lively girl Mo Jin.

"How do you feel?" Mu Li put a bunch of seaweed on the window sill, "I can't find any good-looking flowers here, so I can only use this instead - but it's green at least, and it's better than yellow sand, isn't it? What?"

"Ah... thank you," Rex sat up quickly, "I feel... much better than before."

"That's good. You looked scary when you were just fished out of the water. Your face was blue, your whole body was twitching, and you kept spitting out sea water." She smiled, "After that, you were sent to the camp and developed a high fever. , Simbadi and I came twice, but you didn’t seem to have fully recovered consciousness at that time.”

Rex smiled bitterly, "My body is indeed too weak."

"But you survived to the end and exceeded your own limits." Sinbad grinned, "Mr. Explorer. In fact, your desire to survive is stronger than I imagined. When we were almost close to the water, I almost exhausted myself. I tried my best, but if you hadn't hugged my body tightly, I would have been hard-pressed to take you out together." He lifted up a corner of his clothes and said, "Well, there are still a few bruises here."

"Sorry," Rex said a little embarrassed, "I can't remember what happened after I got out of the water hole."

"You must have been thinking something at that time to keep you from letting go even when you lost consciousness, right?" Mu Li sighed with emotion.

"Maybe..." He nodded, "A lot of things did come to mind before I fell into coma, including my precious invention, the Society of Strange Objects, and the two wives who are waiting for me to return..."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Simbadi asked tentatively, "What did you just say?"

"Two wives..." Rex seemed to suddenly understand, "Ah, I forgot to mention that the customs of the fjord islands are different. The island where I live does not have a limit on the number of couples. It is all voluntary. , it’s normal that you don’t know this.”

"I suddenly felt that... throwing you in a water hole might be a good choice," Sinbad said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"Same feeling." Mu Li agreed with a serious look.

"Hey, you don't have to be so heartless..." Seeing that the situation was not going well, Rex quickly changed the subject, "That ruins - how is it now?"

When it came to business, Simbadi suddenly became serious, "Now the First Army has set up that area as a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without authorization. Sentries have also been set up on the edge of the cliff, probably to guard against the armored giant scorpion. I On their entrustment, I dived into the water hole again during low tide and found my pocket bag." His voice became lower and lower, "But these things were also given to the First Army... I'm sorry."

"No, you did nothing wrong." After listening to the other party's story, Rex shook his head slightly. "Now that the First Army has taken over the treatment, you can't hide it from them. Besides, I don't think I can monopolize it." Such a big ruin. The only pity is that both diving suits were destroyed. Even if the news of the successful test is released, the credibility will be greatly reduced. But there is nothing you can do... After all, you It’s to save me.”

Simbadi was speechless. He naturally knew how much effort Rex had put into this. A waterproof suit took half a year to prepare, and that only meant the last two finished products. And how many times it failed before, how much materials and golden dragons were wasted, you can tell from the tightness of the opponent's hands.

Such a blow is indeed very heavy.

After a long silence, he asked in a low voice, "What...are you planning to do in the future?"

"Go back to the fjord first, and then make a comeback." Rex answered without hesitation.

Simbadi and Mu Li couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why, are you worried that I will never get back up?" Looking at the slightly surprised expressions of the two of them, Rex smiled, "If I hadn't had this escape experience, I would probably have given up on this career." He said Stretching out his palms, he clenched and opened them, as if he was feeling something, "But I understand now that this is by no means my limit - so what if I wear a waterproof suit for half a year? It's already much better than when I was groping before. Times! At least I know it will succeed!"

"Rex..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back in two years at most with new diving attire." The fjord man said word by word, "When the time comes, please continue to stay with me -"

It seems that his worries are no longer necessary, Simbadi thought to himself. Just as he was about to respond, the door was suddenly pushed open and a man dressed as an officer walked in.

"Rex? Simbadi?" He looked at the two of them.

"Yes, please...what's the matter?" Simbadi saluted quickly.

"Neverwinter City has given the latest instructions regarding your discovery." The officer nodded, "His Majesty wants to see you."

"You mean, the King of Graycastle?"

"Big, big chief?"

The two of them were surprised almost at the same time. They all saw the incredible in each other's eyes. Regardless of the fact that in just five days, news could travel back and forth between Daqing Port and the new royal capital of Graycastle. The king's summons was really beyond their imagination - generally speaking, the superiors If you want to ask for information, just send someone here. If you handle the matter so solemnly, could it be that the discovered ruins have extraordinary significance?

"That's right, and His Majesty Roland has specially sent a ship to pick him up. We will arrive at Daqing Port in about two days." The officer smiled, "Before then, just stay in the military camp and have a good rest."

*********************

Graycastle, Neverwinter City.

Roland sat at his desk, flipping through the reports sent back from the front line.

No matter how you look at it, the Torch Project can be said to be progressing smoothly. After entering May, there was almost no decent resistance from the devil, and the railway line was steadily advancing in the direction of Taqila. If this trend continues, the ruins of the Holy City will be within the strike range of the First Army by mid-June at most, which can be said to be more than ten days faster than the originally planned schedule.

The offensive was obviously going so smoothly, but Roland didn't feel much relaxed.

The opponent is the devil, the mortal enemy of human civilization, and has achieved overwhelming victories in the past two battles of divine will, forcing mankind to the corner of the dawn realm. Now the fertile plain is the last barrier. As long as the obelisk is erected, the red mist can cover the entire continent. The enemy should be determined to win.

His eyes kept scanning between the report and the map, hoping to find some clues, but he still found nothing.

After experiencing the night attack, the railway station's defenses became increasingly complete, and the only way to destroy the camp was to destroy it. Although this is the place where a war is most likely to break out, it is also the battlefield where the First Army has the greatest advantage. If the enemy chooses to fight head-on, it would be a good thing.

Hundreds of kilometers of railway line are the second point of attack - in fact, this is where reports of encounters with the devil are common, now totaling forty-six. If it weren't for these reports, he would even have the illusion that the enemy had withdrawn from the fertile plains, leaving only the Ministry of Construction busy building the railway. However, it is not easy to cut off logistics from the machine guns of armored trains and the witches' emergency repairs. In other words, the Torch Project was designed to address this point from the beginning. After the third Black River train was put into service, even reports of harassment by horrific beasts became less frequent.

And the last possible place to be attacked, the forest site, is theoretically the least important. As long as Ye Zi doesn't take the initiative to fight with the devil, there will be very limited things that the devil can do. After all, it was too far away from the Taqila supply line, and a small group of enemies could not pose a sufficient threat to the site fortifications. What's more, the area around the terminal has been burned once, so it would be difficult to repeat the same trick.

Due to the continuous advancement of the front line, Lightning has been able to directly detect the situation in the ruins of Taqila. So far, the devil has shown no sign of increasing its troops. Looking from the sky, even the red line for supplies behind it has dimmed a lot. .

Every piece of evidence shows that mankind is about to win the Northern Expedition and have the opportunity to completely drive the devil out of the fertile plains before the red moon comes.
