Chapter 1373： The turning point is coming
The expeditionary force from the deep sea will be a turning point in this long war on the Loren continent, the Silver Queen Belcetia firmly believes so.
After experiencing a partial defeat at the beginning of the war due to lack of preparation, a long-term stalemate after the battle line has stabilized, and a tentative counterattack at this stage, the large scale and fierce offensive of the Wasteland Army remain, but the shadow that looms over the hearts of the soldiers is It's not as strong as before. Those monsters can be killed, their main force can be annihilated, and their commanders will be exposed to the front of the alliance sooner or later. After realizing that the enemy is not invincible, the soldiers of the civilized world We have more courage to face this difficult period, and the people have enough confidence to wait for the turning point of all this.
A powerful foreign aid can undoubtedly break the balance on the current battlefield, and even tilt the scale of victory to the mortal side to launch a full-scale counterattack against the wasteland. The day is just around the corner. Belsetia hopes that her soldiers will already Be prepared for this.
"Our industrial system is fully operational. The ancient foundries and the craftsmen who have been dormant for centuries are making various components of the purification device around the clock. As long as the front lines can advance, the raw materials needed to block the walls can be used. "Continuously," the voice of Maid Elaine sounded in the night, calm and reassuring, "We even have spare capacity to transport excess purification cores to the Typhon Empire. The army led by General Shana has wiped out the blue rock hills yesterday. Now the artisans are doing their best to repair the railway line that was destroyed by the enemy in the blue rock hills. When the road is clear, the train carrying the purification core will depart for the east line.
"The enemy’s previous attack on the advancing base was successfully repelled. Now the Thorin Guard and the Millennium Legion have re-strengthened the defense line in the northern part of the Temple of the Stars. With the crisis of Greta Fortress resolved, we can now concentrate all our forces on In the advancing action in the wasteland, the first purification device has already started to operate. General Lomar will personally go deep into the wasteland by the Millennium Legion, and build a second facility under the coverage of the first purification tower.
"Our contact with the north has been restored. According to the latest news, the blocking wall of the northern line is currently being successfully constructed there. The enemy's counterattack is as fierce as ours, but the Cecilians used torrential artillery fire and were able to burn the entire area. The living flames of the plains have built a line of defense. Their blocking walls have penetrated into the wasteland for two hundred kilometers, and they are still advancing toward the center of the ancient Gondor Empire at a very high speed, toward the Deep Blue Well.
"On the Western Front, Duke Baldwin and Commander Jinna have assisted the reorganized Ogure tribe coalition forces to clear out all enemies within the territory, and the sky fortress called'Earth Dawn' will begin in the near future. Moving east, although Ogure does not have the conditions to produce purification facilities, it is said that those flying fortresses have their own large-scale war factories. They will continue to produce purification devices and drop them into the wasteland during the movement. The amazing'construction plan' is said to have been proposed and implemented by Princess Rebecca herself. If this plan really works, perhaps the construction of the western barrier wall that started construction will be faster than the progress of the other three lines..."
Listening to Elaine’s steady report, Bersetia’s mind couldn’t help but feel a little calm. Her gaze looked into the distance, extending far in the dark night. That was the direction of the Gondor Wasteland, and it was muddy. The remains of the human empire shrouded in thick clouds and the earth is filthy and corrupted. In the past 700 years, that piece of land has been cut off from vitality and has not been illuminated by the light of civilization, but now the situation has changed slightly. She saw a ray of light from The foot spread all the way to the depths of the darkness, and at the end of the line of sight, a larger scale of lights gathered together, a shadowy building and a tall tower emitting light stood in the center of the lights, shining like a lighthouse. "A large area around him.
In the vision of high-level transcendents, you can see that the chaotic energy field around the tower is obviously gradually returning to an orderly state. The calm magical environment and the distant wasteland area are very clear, and the clouds above the tower are very different from each other. The airflow also seemed to be affected, the filthy thick clouds were gradually fading, and the uninterrupted energy sparks released at high altitude appeared to be a few times rarer than in other areas.
That is the first step of Purification Base No. 1, the blocking wall extending into the wasteland. In the past two days, those deformed bodies have violently attacked that base and the one at the feet of Bersetia. The “Stars Temple Fortress” wanted to kill the purification device before the “ignition”, but the Thorin Guards brought by the loyal Millennium Legion and the elf “Berna” resisted all the attacks, and now the tower is shining. It has been bright, the main unit distortion body in the Wasteland Legion will quickly weaken and collapse as long as it gets close to the tower, and the dark priests finally gave up their futile attack.
As a result, man-made lights lit up again in this dark and degraded wasteland, and pioneers from the civilized world finally built a real "safe zone" for the first time.
Next, these "safety zones" will be connected to form a Great Wall, which will be closed with the blocking wall extending from the north to the south. At the same time, the Typhon Empire and the Ogure tribe will also build a barrier across the east and west, two blocking walls. The cross force field formed by the wall will completely cut off the energy cycle in the waste soil, and “adjust” this completely “foreignized” land to a normal state.
Elaine noticed the Silver Queen’s gaze, and she couldn’t help but cast her gaze to the same place. After a few seconds of silence, the maid who had followed the Silver Queen for the longest time broke her silence: "Seven hundred years... no one has thought of this. The piece of wasteland can really be'cured', and the key technology needed to cure it lies in our blueprint room...Even when the key technology of the purification device was shared with the mainland countries, we did not expect it. They can be used to interrupt the energy cycle in the wasteland."
"The revelation of the nature of magic by scholars has broken the fog in front of the world. Facts have proved that only the search for the truth can really solve the problem. Without this step, no matter how much wealth we dig out of our ancestral heritage, we just stay in place, even It was a waste of those inheritances," Bersetia sighed softly, "So in a sense... the fall of the Temple of Stars is indeed a good thing."
"Some of the'old people' in the Association of Astrology Masters will not like your words," Elaine laughed. "It is not easy for them to admit that the Silver Empire has begun to lag behind others in this era. You still have to Hit them for their long-held beliefs."
"Their attitude is irrelevant. Although I admit their past achievements and brilliance, the operation of the empire does not require a group of parts that actively choose to stagnate," Bersetia said lightly, her eyes drooping, "The temple has fallen... we finally can To liberate the clever people who used to dig knowledge and tinker in the temple all day long from the stale ancient machinery, I only hope that they can get out of the shadow caused by the fall of the temple of stars as soon as possible, and decide to move on like the others. Like the elves, they use the knowledge and wisdom they have accumulated throughout their lives in the next "Sanctuary of Stars"."
"The next temple of stars..." Elaine opened his eyes slightly, "Have you decided to build a new aerial fortress?"
"Perhaps it is not the time, but this does not prevent me and Master Vilania from making some plans in advance," Belcetia nodded slightly. "In the process of building the Earthly Dawn together with the Cecil Empire, we I have also gained invaluable experience. The large anti-gravity engine unit and the parallel power spine can solve more than 80% of the difficulties that engineers have been facing in the process of restoring the power system of the Temple of the Stars, and the large deck closure technology He keel casting technology is not a problem in itself for the silver empire’s current industrial base. All that is left is the control center... Cecil’s large-scale servo brain and neural network are on the foreign trade list."
Elaine was suddenly surprised: "They even sell this?!"
"Because they can make better, and they need to make all countries in the world use the data processing and transmission format that meets the'Cecile Standard'," Bersetia smiled and glanced at his personal maid." Buying their servo brain and neural network components means that buyers must build their own "modern industrial system" in accordance with their technical standards, whether it is a factory, a ship, an anti-gravity fortress, or a domestic communication network and Public management systems, servo brains, and neural networks are all indispensable parts of these "modern technologies", and when the world is using the same set of "standard specifications", if you don’t want to be excluded from the whole world, then You can only choose the same things, so of course the Cecilians will sell them and they are on sale."
Elaine never seemed to have thought of these things before, and she seemed very surprised at this time: "Then we..."
"This is not a conspiracy, but an open exchange of interests. When purchasing the Servo Brain and Neural Network components of the Cecil Empire, we are also exporting our own anti-gravity technology and casting standards, just like Typhon is also doing theirs recently. The "Crystal International Standard Library" and the "Modern Spell Registration System", whether for Typhon, Cecil or for us, the "price" in these exchanges are acceptable, and for other alliance members... All this is equally worthwhile, and at the same time, all these exchanges will indeed push our world forward. As for whether the advancing direction is correct, it can only be judged by history."
When Bersetia said this, she suddenly smiled: "This war has truly united all the nations of the Loren continent into an'alliance', which is even more united than the scene of the 112th meeting, and the tentacles of the great powers will be in this process. China spread rapidly, and new orders and patterns were formed and stabilized in this process. Until the next reshuffle of Elaine, this process is neither bright nor dark, because this is how the world develops."
"...I understand," Elaine thought for a while, and exhaled a little, "It just feels a bit complicated, I always feel that Uncle Gawain's current image is a bit scary."
Bersetia’s gaze fell on Elaine. After watching for a few seconds, she suddenly laughed and said softly, “Don’t worry, Uncle Gawain is still our Uncle Gawain, but he is also Sisi. The leader of the Er empire."
…
"Snee"
Gawain’s sturdy sneeze shocked Hetty in the office, Amber, and Duke Baldwin in the holographic projection. Hety, who was sitting next to him, immediately looked over with concern: "Ancestor, are you okay? ?"
"It's okay, suddenly my nose is itchy," Gawain rubbed his nose, "I'm afraid someone is talking about me behind my back..."
"Someone is talking about...you?" Heidi looked a little dazed, "Is this necessarily related to sneezing?"
The corner of Gawain’s mouth trembled, and he couldn’t explain to the other party what the mysterious statement from his hometown meant, so he could only shake his hand and blunt the topic off: “Nothing, I just talked about Lord Baldwin. The situation on your side, now the situation on the northern, eastern and southern routes has begun to improve quickly, and I’m waiting for your news."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the bust of Archduke Baldwin Franklin floats over the terminal of the magic net. Compared with last year, this elegant mage with a scroll atmosphere seems to have a bit more sharpness as a soldier on his face. But his voice is still calm and restrained. "For a long time, the situation on the Western Front has been more complicated than other areas. Large-scale fall, damage, disaster victims, and runaway distortions have held our feet, but now these conditions have been Get full control.
"The various tribes of Ogure reorganized their troops and set up a coalition headquarters in Hongyu City. After the problems of medical supplies and weapons and equipment have been resolved, the local troops have the ability to deal with domestic disaster control and distortion problems on their own, and renew Controlling all the defense lines of the mountain barrier, then Commander Jinna and I will begin to move towards the wasteland, repair the wasteland post fortress group and use it as the starting point of the blocking wall.
"The'Justice from Heaven' plan formulated by His Royal Highness Rebecca has completed theoretical verification and conducted several tests. Under the condition of ensuring air control and pre-clearing the surface, the components are airdropped and quickly assembled on the ground. The method is feasible. The only problem is that it is limited by the performance of the temporary anti-gravity framework. In order to find the best balance between safety and delivery efficiency, all airdrop components must be split and lightened twice, which leads to The purification device we finally set up has...slightly insufficient life span, and is not as'sturdy' as the ground stations with solid foundations on several other fronts."
"Lifespan is affected...to what extent?"
"Under the harsh environment of waste soil, it can only run smoothly for half a year. The pressure on the purification core is too great. After cutting and reducing the weight, the core will gradually melt under the impact of its own energy. Because the core of the device cannot be turned on. Stop, so it is impossible to extend the life by replacing the core or shutting down the reinforcement."
"Then what if the ground construction is carried out in a normal way?" Heard heard that the life of the purification device under the new plan was only half a year, and Hety couldn't help but say, "The other lines..."
"We are not strong enough, Princess," Baldwin shook his head regretfully. "Furthermore, the cost of ground construction is high. After the heavy damage, Ogure could not provide enough logistical support. If we reluctantly do this, we may not have time to communicate with the other three lines. Close the blocking wall on the upper side."
"...So, it is enough to end the war within half a year," Gawain looked into Baldwin's eyes, "complete the construction of the blocking wall within half a year, activate it, and then heal the wasteland, as long as the energy cycle in the wasteland is cut off. , We don’t need to block the wall, and a shorter life span is acceptable.”
"I understand, Your Majesty."
After experiencing a partial defeat at the beginning of the war due to lack of preparation, a long-term stalemate after the battle line has stabilized, and a tentative counterattack at this stage, the large scale and fierce offensive of the Wasteland Army remain, but the shadow that looms over the hearts of the soldiers is It's not as strong as before.
