Chapter 983： Critical equilibrium

"The defenders in the castle area of ​​Winterwolf surrendered?!"

When he heard the news, Philip stood up directly from his chair, his eyes widened.

"Yes, General," a commander of the ground troops with dust on his face is standing in the holographic projection, and the background behind him is the large ruins still smoking and fire and The soldiers in the busy operation, under the temporary lights in the distance, can also see the disarmed Tifeng soldiers being escorted, "their top commander gave up resistance, and now the shield in the castle area has been removed from The interior is closed and we are taking over various areas of the castle."

Philip frowned, just like he didn’t understand why the Tifeng people suddenly went to war a few days ago. At this time, he couldn’t understand why the other party chose to surrender. This is completely inconsistent with the highest intelligence in the current Wolfwolf. The pre-judgment of the commander's behavior is also inconsistent with the tendency to seek "a **** and ever-expanding war" after the God of War is out of control.

"Relying on the fortifications of the castle, they could have continued to resist for a while-they could even hope to stick to the arrival of reinforcements and get out of trouble," a staff member said in confusion next to him. Intact...Tifeng people surrendered like this? General, you see this..."

"Tifeng's "general wolf" has never been surrendered, let alone this generation of general wolf seems to be a hard-liner who is quite hostile to us. To be honest, I don't believe that the other party will surrender so simple," Philip shook his head. "But they have closed the castle's shield. Under the premise that our ground troops gradually take over the entire Winter Wolf Castle, I really can't think of what else they have to plan for the turnaround...theoretically if they really want to continue If you resist, any plan is stronger than surrender."

The staff asked curiously: "General, you mean..."

Philip raised his head and looked in the direction of the Magic Web terminal: "Did you contact the other party's top commander?"

"Yes, General," the commander across the communication channel nodded immediately. "I have already contacted her-but she said ‘I want to talk to people of equal status.’ I think she wants to talk to you directly.”

Philip groaned a little, then nodded: "I understand, I will pass soon. You continue to carry out the takeover and cleaning work, and build the advance camp on the spot, ready to respond to the Tifeng people's counterattack or continue to advance east. "

"Yes, General!"

...

Andesa is still lying on the bed, in fact, it is still very difficult for her to move. The buzzing noise in her ears has been attenuated a lot. The powerful physical qualities of high-order transcendents are quickly repairing the damaged parts of her body, and in the gradually recovered hearing, she can hear the noisy and busy movements outside.

His last guard was being disarmed, and the Cecilians had completely taken over the place.

They are beside themselves.

Andersa tried hard to move her gaze. She could see the Cecil soldiers in eccentric armor standing upright in all parts of the room, "guarding" here with vigilance, while she was here to take care of and care for her After being disarmed, the trusted soldiers were "invited" to another room. In theory, they should not see them for a long time.

You can’t see them... that’s fine-the young general Wolf couldn’t help thinking about it.

Because she really doesn't know how to face her subordinates who are getting along at night, whether they are contaminated by the God of War or remain completely sober...she knows her Winter Wolf Knights, knows each of them, they are sure They are all ready to fight to the last moment, and they are even prepared to fight the war machines of the Cecil with their flesh and blood. This castle can continue to stand, and it may even wait for the reinforcements behind... None of this is possible because their top commander chose to surrender after a bombing.

And after receiving the order, the entire Winter Wolf Knights chose to execute without complaint... This made Andesa feel the unspeakable pressure even more.

As the thoughts drifted away, a pain suddenly came from a wound on her body, which interrupted Andersa's thinking. She couldn't help but whispered, and her body moved slightly-but it brought more Great pain.

"Try not to move, the new potion is taking effect," a strange soldier's voice came from the side, with a little nervousness in the coldness, "If you insist, there will be a medical priest coming."

Andesa looked around and saw a young face, which was a Cecilian soldier, or maybe a low-ranking officer-they were ordinary people without magical fluctuations, and their eyes were always swaying at the moment. Shake away, Andersa really can't tell whether it's a soldier or an officer standing in front of him.

These Cecils have at least no defenders surrendering surrender... Not bad.

Just when Andersa thought about it, she heard a sound of military boots treading suddenly from the direction of the door of the room, and at the same time the young man's voice rang in her ear: "Oh, the priest is here--"

Medical priest? Pastor?

Anderson opened her eyes slightly curiously to see the direction of the footsteps. Then she saw a young woman who seemed to be wearing a costume like a nun's dress, but she could see it everywhere Devices like armor pieces, metal backpacks, and rune towline, this peculiarly dressed "nun lady" walked towards her, carrying a seemingly heavy "combat staff" in her hand. My own illusion, there seemed to be blood on the staff.

Then the "Sister Cecil" came to Andesa's bed. She put the heavy combat staff "dong" on the ground and bent down towards Andesa, who saw the other side Wearing a glove with a mechanical structure on his hand-no matter how it looks, it seems to have nothing to do with prayer and treatment.

Is this the priest responsible for treating himself? How did Cecil's nun look like this?

There was a moment of suspicion in Andersa's heart. Although it didn't seem to care about such details now, she couldn't help but whispered: "Wait, I will..."

"Don't move," the young nun said immediately, and pressed Andersa's shoulder. "Your left eye is blind-I don't want to accidentally break your other eye."

Andersa fell silent, then rubbed the corners of his mouth, a bit relieved in the bitterness: "...Is it really blind..."

"If you cooperate well, maybe one day in the future may grow back-after all, Cecil is the world's number one in technology." Miss Nun seemed a little happily, with a confident confidence in her tone.

Andersa listened to each other's words, but just kept silent and stopped talking.

...

Perinan felt as if he had fallen into a long, weird, gloomy, and depressed nightmare. In this nightmare, he seemed to be replaced by another person, doing terrible things in a muddled state, but in the nightmare, he But he always felt that he was sober-some kind of power distorted his perception of the whole world, what he saw was no longer what he really saw, what he did was no longer what he really wanted to do, he just Like a clown puppet that wobbled in front of the candlelight, desperately doing what seemed normal-but cast a shadow on the ground that was distorted and unresolved.

At some moment later, he suddenly woke up, and everything in the nightmare faded into disguise, and blood appeared in front of him. He found that the nightmare... seemed to have happened.

Rosetta Augustus looked at Peinan who sat up suddenly from the middle of the magic circle. There was always a gloomy smile on his face: "Peinan Nanqing, you finally awakened."

Peinan gasped heavily, as if he had to use a quick breath to clean out all the dirty things in his body. He finally felt that his heart and spirit had stabilized, so he had no time to observe the surroundings-this is A closed room that looks a lot like a magic laboratory, with no windows, only a small door, bright magic crystal lights illuminate the whole room, and all the nearby walls are engraved with winding runes.

Peinan found that there was no other furnishings besides the runes in this room. Even the place where he lay himself was a circular magic circle engraved with runes.

"Your Majesty," the old prince finally recovered, and the memory and correct cognition that had been suppressed in his mind were madly "backlashing", making him aware of the terrible things that happened in the past few days. The former wolf general who has experienced countless winds and rains can't help but feel a chill at the moment, "I may be polluted! Before me..."

"I know, I know, Pei Di Nanqing, things have happened-you need to restore calm," Rosetta Augustus said calmly. "The situation is really bad, but not too bad."

Peinan took a deep breath and stood up from the magic circle, he said quickly: "We and Cecil..."

"It has entered a state of war-it is the war we declared first, or the war declared by us on behalf of the God of War," Rosetta looked at Peinan's eyes, "Peinan Nanqing, Malm Dunnet with the power of spiritual intervention Blind and distorted your perception, the explanation we sent to Cecil was tampered with into a declaration of war, but this is not your fault."

At this moment, Peinan felt his heart stop for a beat, but he stopped the trend of falling into dizziness. After realizing that this matter was irreversible, he seemed to suddenly notice the abnormality in this room-

It seems to be a magic lab here, where you can see rune-like things everywhere, but after careful reading, he discovered that none of the magic runes he knew were actually. The curvy lines are complicated and delicate, but the style is not like any race on land. While watching them, Peinan felt that his depressed mood quickly calmed down and cleared up, and there were still some murky thoughts. It becomes extremely clear.

The old duke asked subconsciously: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"This is still in the Obsidian Palace, this room is a laboratory of Ms. Windsor Maple. If you are referring to the runes-they are from the deep sea, originally brought from the Kraken to Cecil, and then by Cecil gave it to us as a gift. I think you should have seen a few samples of these runes, but it is indeed the first time you have seen the'Barrier House' after a full scale splicing like this."

"Runes from the deep sea..." Peininan finally had some relevant information in his mind. He remembered that there was indeed such a thing, "These runes are used to..."

"Remove the pollution you have suffered," Rosetta said lightly. "And make sure that you will not be affected by the will of the gods again for a period of time-it seems to work well now."

Peinan felt the rapid improvement of his mental state and realized that the "effect" that the other party said was indeed good, but the next second, he thought of another thing.

"Your Majesty, do you know me long ago..."

"No, I don't have the power of the unknown prophet," Rosetta interrupted Petinan's words. "But I'm sure that the infiltration of the gods' pollution will spread to the upper levels of the empire-I just didn't expect the first to be polluted and The person who was completely undetected at the beginning will be you, someone who has been consciously alienated from the church since many years ago. From this aspect, I underestimated the ability of the divine will to penetrate the mortal mind, but from On the other hand, we have now further determined the penetration and spreading rules of'pollution' and the range of people affected, which are all meaningful."

Rosetta said very indifferently, and Peidenan quickly heard another meaning from the attitude and words of the imperial ruler—

The emperor was indeed surprised, but it was only those "details" that surprised him. As for the direction of the whole thing... it seems that until now it has not deviated from his judgment.

Does this include this war?

"Your Majesty," Perdinan whispered after a few seconds of silence, "What are we going to do next?"

"The war broke out," Rosetta said as if to himself, his eyes did not fall on Pedinin, "...the Empire should be in a state of emergency."

"Are you going to use the emperor's highest ruling power?"

"Ten years ago, we tried to change this country to a new situation. We did so, and we did a lot of feats that we didn’t dare to think about, but now looking back, we still have a lot of things to do. Finished," Rosetta said calmly. "Some people who shouldn't survive are alive, and some things that shouldn't be saved are still preserved... don't you think this is regrettable?"

"It's a shame," said Pedenan Wendell. "It seems that we can finish the things that weren't done that year-but there is one more thing, Your Majesty, we are in full battle with the Cecil."

"It was the crazy **** who was fighting Cecil," Rosetta looked at Petinan's eyes. "The runaway **** is the common enemy of all mankind-this time, we are actually standing with the Cecil One side."
