Chapter 1584: Floating Up

The commander-in-chief is right.

How can a thick steel cable in an arm be broken?

And even if it breaks, it can only be broken by stretching.

But I have never heard that the cross-section of a stretched steel cable can be so flat and smooth!

His eyes slowly moved away from the section of the retrieved steel cable and scanned everyone present.

The expressions of the people around him varied, some were anxious, some were thoughtful, some were confused, and some were frightened.

After a moment of silence, I said to the president of the dwarf guild beside me: "Report to the two kings and seal Fort Vicky immediately."

"Yes." The president waved his hand, and his entourage quickly left.

I continued the order and said: "Instruct all the elite members of the Dwarf Guild to start fighting, and at the same time send heavy troops to send all the family members of the nobles and high-ranking officials back to their mansions for protection."

"Yes." The president immediately ordered another member of his entourage to pass on the order.

Didn't the high priest of the orcs once say that I was also an important link in launching the war? In that case, why not let me start from Fort Vicky and completely mess up this Zephyr Continent.

I stood quietly on the edge of the sea cliff, silently paying attention to every move of the staff. Although I couldn't understand it, I could tell that they were all my own people who hoped that Master Dewey and others would be okay.

Ten minutes later, someone came to report that the Prime Minister of Wychburg had arrived.

From a distance, I saw a bloated goblin walking toward me, shouting and panting, with a staggering pace, an angry expression, and a menacing momentum.

Did he come to me to question me?

Ha, what a joke.

I sneered, waved my arm, and said, "Send the Prime Minister back."

"What!" The president next to him was shocked and said, "Sir, this is not good, he is the prime minister."

"Of course I know he is the prime minister," I said slowly, "The prime minister should be in the palace, handling government affairs, and should not interfere in small diplomatic matters such as the seaside, let alone put himself in danger, coming to such a place with cliffs and deep seas. For the sake of the national affairs of Fort Vic, for the people of Vic to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the long-term development of Vic, the common people are bold and ask the President to send someone to send the Prime Minister away from this dangerous area. I don’t know if it is possible. ?”

The president's expression was quite wonderful.

Although he resisted, Master Dewey once ordered that when he was away, my orders were his orders. The president did not dare to disobey Master Dewey, so naturally, he treated my orders as imperial edicts.

The bloated prime minister was forked away by four strong dwarf adventurers some twenty meters away from me.

Along the way, he shouted loudly and screamed as hard as he could. His voice was like that of a perverted little wife. It attracted the attention of countless people, but no one dared to step forward to stop him, and no one was willing to step forward to stop him.

"Oh, by the way." I turned my head, looked at the President, and said leisurely: "I will send someone to pass on a message later, saying that the protected nobles, senior officials, including their families, are not allowed to enter or exit the mansion at will. , Castle Wych is in a critical moment now, and dangers are surging in the city. If you happen to encounter danger while walking on the road or wandering somewhere, don't blame me, don't say it was unforeseen."

I passed the order here, and I slowly walked to the edge of the sea cliff, looked at the deep blue sea, and waved my hand behind me.

The two high-ranking goblin and dwarf officials walked over quickly, wiping their sweat.

I stretched out my hand, pointed at the blue sea, and asked, "Let me ask you, are there any monsters in this sea area?"

"I don't know, my subordinate."

"I, I don't know, my official."

"What a coincidence." I chuckled and said, "I don't know either, but I'm curious. Anyway, it's a deep sea down here, so why are there no monsters?"

The two senior officials were silent and trembling together.

I continued: "I once heard a story that sea monsters like to eat meat, especially human meat, because since the advent of magic airships, humans rarely sail on the sea anymore. Because of this, many monsters are obsessed with humans. This snack is something that I think about day and night and cannot sleep at night. It is precisely because of this characteristic that some humans who want to catch monsters have come up with a way to catch monsters with corpses suspended on the sea. This The method is quite good, and occasionally profitable, but a corpse is a corpse after all, not as fresh as a living one, so some people always lament that if a living person can be suspended in the sea, a huge sea monster can be caught."

At this point, I stopped and glanced past the two of them, but I saw that they were sweating profusely, their faces were pale, and they were almost unconscious.

I smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I haven't had that thought yet, and my adoptive father is in crisis. It doesn't matter if his old man can turn danger into good luck, even if he doesn't catch sea monsters, but what if his old man has a millionaire?" First, I have to do something interesting to distract myself from the grief in my heart."

"At that time, the two important ministers of the court should help me share my worries."

My meaning is very clear. Master Dewey, Emily and the Elf Queen are fine. Everything is fine. If something happens, I will hang all the people who harmed them, including their families, above the sea to fish for sea monsters.

On the other side, the scientific researchers' work efficiency is still very high. They quickly adjust the angle of the chain, allocate the force that the broken chain has to bear to several other chains, and at the same time slow down the lifting speed, trying to control the lifting force. Within the tolerable range, beware of any further accidents in which the chain breaks.

However, even so, there is still no guarantee that Master Dewey and others will be safe.

Whether the submarine can sneak smoothly is still unknown. Whether there are monsters in this sea area is also unknown. Pulling up the chain can only be said to be the safest and fastest way. When the chain cannot realize its value, Master Dewey Whether people can survive depends only on the effectiveness of the submarine.

At this moment, the call crystal trembled. When I took it out, it was Master Dewey's call.

As soon as I picked it up, I heard the serious voice of Master Dewey, saying: "Xiaoyi, what's going on above, why did it start to float?"

"One of the chains is broken," I said, "the cross-section is smooth."

After a few seconds of silence, Master Dewey said, "I understand."

"What sea area have you dived into now?"

"Below the sea level, about 800 meters," Master Dewey said, "I haven't encountered any threatening monsters so far."

"That's good," I asked, "should the submarine continue to lift?"

"Go on," Master Dewey said. At the end, he sneered: "I didn't expect that someone would dare to put their ideas on my head."

After hanging up the call, I continued to focus on the improvement of the chain.

Looking at the slowly rising chains, my heart slowly eased.

According to the data, the submarine is currently located at about 600 meters above sea level. If it rises another 100 meters, it will reach shallow waters.

At that time, the chance of encountering monsters in the sea will plummet to a few percent.
