Chapter 236: The Quadripartite Meeting
A person who has just learned to walk and began to assimilate the people around him, accumulated steadily, just like a snowball, in less than ten years, he has completed the path that many forces have to take for a hundred years, and he is also expanding at a more terrifying speed.
Compared with the Kingsley family's seizing the opportunity everywhere, the Eternal Night Army, which also has plans for the Swamp of Despair, is unhurried, and has not yet shown the slightest intention of entering the Swamp of Despair.
There are many reasons for this.
The most important thing is, of course, the natural environment, just as the Jiangnan Plain cannot become a desperate swamp in one day, and the desperate swamp cannot be restored to the Jiangnan Plain in one day.
The resumption of the Jacob River, cutting off the largest source of water, is only one thing, and waiting for the natural environment to react and take away the flooded water.
In fact, this one has already begun.
Not only is the water level in the Swamp of Despair falling, but the amount of rainfall is also clearly starting to decrease.
On the contrary, the flooded Manyu military leaders have ushered in many rains, and the Gobi Desert, which has withered and died, has begun to regain its vitality, growing countless green plants and trees, and the tenacity of nature is sometimes even stronger than human imagination, and those seeds that have been buried deep in the ground for hundreds of years still have vitality.
For the Manyu military leader, the short-term is a disaster, and in the long run, the benefits are endless.
Just like the Manyu military commander who had just been flooded with a large amount of river water, the danger of the Despair Swamp has increased dramatically, and even the local indigenous crocodile people dare not run around in an unfamiliar environment.
Because a lot of security is false, the land that looks dry may be a muddy swamp that has been covered up, and once it is trapped, it will never be able to get out.
In this case, there is simply no way to develop.
If there is no way to develop, simply occupying it is meaningless for the Eternal Night Army, it is better to slow down and spare more energy to do other things, anyway, the Swamp of Despair is there, and they can't run, they have no way to develop, and others can't develop it either.
There's a lot to do for the Eternal Night Army right now.
Opening up the Jacob River water trade route is just one of them.
The second is the development of the Andes Inland Lake.
More precisely, the water level has dropped dramatically, and the restored Andes Basin is being developed.
During the period of the ancient Andis Empire, there were four major production areas: the Plains Military Prefecture (now the Plains of Asia Minor), the Manyu Military Prefecture (now the Manyu Military Territory), the Jiangnan Military Prefecture (the current Swamp of Despair), and the Huayu Military Prefecture (the current Huayu Plateau).
But in terms of the degree of wealth, the Andes Basin is not worse than them, and the wind and rain are even more famous, after all, the internal environment of the Andes Mountains is self-contained, and the imperial capital with a population of more than one million is more than enough.
It was not able to be listed as one of the five major production areas with it, in addition to being much smaller in area, and because of the pride of the imperial capital of the ancient Andes Empire, they believed that they were not qualified to be ranked with the unique Andes Basin.
The Andes Basin has been nourished by the biological remains of the Andes inland lake for hundreds of years, and the fertility is only higher than that of the Desperate Swamp, so the Eternal Night Army naturally has to make full use of it, not to mention the degree of construction care, this is the place where they have their roots.
The people who lost their land because of the re-flow of the Jacob River moved over and divided the wasteland, smashed all kinds of miscellaneous grains in the first year, and they could directly plant winter wheat in the autumn.
Although the Jacobs Paleochannel is in the same mountains as the Andes Basin, the environmental system is quite different.
Although the Andes Basin has a cold winter and a hot summer, the climate is relatively distinct, which is more conducive to the growth of winter wheat.
Although one season of staple grains and one season of miscellaneous grains and vegetables cannot be self-sufficient, they can also greatly alleviate the dependence of the Yongye Group Army on grain imports.
In addition, there is a reasonable and unexpected harvest - the ruins of the ancient Andes Empire towns.
The Andes Basin was one of the most prosperous areas of the ancient Andes Empire, and in addition to the imperial capital, there were countless large and small towns within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
As the water level of the Andes Inland Lake continued to rise, they were abandoned in the following decades.
For Sean, who is interested in the study of the history of the ancient Andis Empire, he is more excited than winning the lottery of tens of millions, and maybe there is a big treasure in it.
Compared with the Andes people, the bottom of the Andes inland lake is obviously safer, as long as the years and blisters cannot be damaged, most of the things can be preserved in a relatively intact state.
While the Eternal Night Group Army sent people to take care of them for the first time, it also specially dispatched people and set up an archaeological team to clean them up, study and seal them.
The captain of the archaeological team is naturally Mr. Lan Xili, a professor of the Chinese Department of the Ancient Andis Emperor of the Affiliated Military School of the Eternal Night Group Army, whose love and research of the ancient Andis Empire culture is unmatched by the entire Eternal Night Group Army.
When he heard about the discovery of a large number of well-preserved ruins of ancient Andes Empire towns at the bottom of Andes Inland Lake, he was as excited as a child, jumping three feet high.
The main members of the archaeological team were also recruited from the students he taught. Although the majors are not the same, they are the closest, and they have some contact with the things of the Ancient Andes Empire, so it is easier to get started.
This kind of thing is naturally indispensable to Sean, and the warlock's creation still needs the warlock to come out himself.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lan Xili knew what Sean was looking for, after all, the soul beast card was transferred from his hand to Sean's hand, and he had also read the relevant literature afterwards, and vaguely knew the true origin of the soul beast card, except for Ms. Elena, he knew the most about this matter.
Afterwards, Sean also consulted him many times on this issue.
After all, Ms. Elena is her own mother, and some issues are inconvenient to discuss, especially when it comes to Sean's safety, which is prone to extreme biased opinions.
Although Mr. Lan Xili is not a warlock, he has a wide range of knowledge, and he is not inferior to ordinary warlocks, and can provide some theoretical support and broaden his thinking.
Although he has a bit of a scholarly atmosphere, he is not so pedantic, he is clear and serious, and his mouth is very strict.
All the suspected warlock creations found during this archaeological process are properly kept, waiting for Sean's verification.
Hard work pays off.
After the Soul Beast Card, in the ruins at the bottom of Lake Andes, Sean once again saw a warlock artifact from the ancient Andes Empire - a one-handed sword.
In terms of its own value.
This one-handed sword is not the same as the Soul Beast Card.
According to Sean's speculation, even in the most glorious era of the Warlocks of the Ancient Andis Empire, the Soul Beast Card was also a very remarkable warlock creation, and nothing else, just talking about absorbing the power of magic to repair itself was very powerful, not to mention the taboo topic - soul.
If it were to prevail, it would not be possible to leave such a small mark on the literature.
This is evidenced by the appearance of one-handed swords in disguise.
After years and the corrosion of the lake, this one-handed sword was very badly damaged, and it took great effort for the archaeological team to restore it to its original appearance.
Not to mention absorbing the power of the spell to repair itself, Sean almost didn't leave it out, after being stimulated by the power of the spell, the traces of the spell it revealed were too faint.
It is better to use it on the battlefield than to take an iron bar, at least it has the advantage of being strong.
But for the Eternal Night Army, its research value is immeasurable.
Because its principle is similar to the enchanted equipment spontaneously created by the Biological Research Institute according to the talent organization.
In other words, the Eternal Night Army is on a path that the Warlocks of the Ancient Andis Empire once walked, and the so-called enchanted equipment is the original version of the Warlock Creation.
After verifying this news, Sean sat in the research room for a long time, and what he was looking for turned out to be something that his territory could already produce in small quantities, and that kind of complicated taste was really not enough to be humanized to outsiders.
Perhaps because of the mysterious soul beast card, Sean subconsciously set the positioning of the warlock's creation too high, and most of the warlock's creation should be like this one-handed sword.
The reason why they are rarely seen now is that they have not been burned as many documents have been originally speculated.
Instead, as the era of the end of the law became more and more serious, there was a serious fault in technology, and the power of magic creations became weaker and weaker, and finally a situation emerged where few people know about them now.
However, magical creations have not completely faded out of the world's sight, such as the sword of courage of the royal family of Lancelot, the scepter of God of the Holy Aether Holy See, and the witch's heart of the Witch Society.
All have numerous legends with powerful and unique magical powers.
In the past, Sean took it for granted that it was a legend that was falsely rumored and artificially exaggerated.
And if not?
What if the legend is real or stronger than the legend?
Nothing is impossible.
When Sean's soul can run or fly in the body of an animal, he knows that the world is far more amazing than what he sees.
Aren't they just a living warlock's creation?
Sean's gaffe lasted only half a day, and he fell asleep and regained his fighting spirit the next day.
To a certain extent, this one-handed sword also proves in disguise that there is no problem with the research direction of the Eternal Night Group Army, and there is still greater potential to be tapped according to the current direction.
The archaeological team led by Mr. Lan Xili was not only not withdrawn, but further increased its investment.
The research value of the one-handed sword is still quite high, not only because the magic circuit engraved on it is not available in the Eternal Night Army, but also because the magic circuit it shows is concise enough and somewhat similar to text, in this regard, the Warlock Creations of the Ancient Andis Empire are not many steps ahead of the Eternal Night Army.
If you want to catch up, you don't know how long it will take, and there is still a long way to go.
If there are enough Ancient Andis Imperial Warlock Creations as a reference, the Eternal Night Army will save even more manpower and material resources.
There is a more convenient way not to use it, and that is a big fool.
"It seems that the imperial capital of Bressan, as recorded in the history books, has been wiped out. Sean said with great regret.
Their archaeology, the most anticipated object, is the imperial capital of the ancient Andis Empire, Bressan, this name has the most brilliant pearl meaning of the city, is the largest city of the year, the essence of the entire empire, once gathered countless warlocks.
Although legend has it that it has been wiped out, there is a good chance that it is buried under the Andes Inland Lake.
Mr. Lan Xili had just located the location of the imperial capital Brissan with the help of an ancient map, and Sean ran over with great interest.
The result is a miniature lake.
After some verification, there is no doubt that this miniature lake is the place where the imperial capital of Bresan is located.
It is now 100% certain that the once first city is completely gone, and this miniature lake is the only trace of it in the world.
Sean also specially manipulated the Thunder Golden Eagle to look down on the miniature lake from the sky, this miniature lake with a diameter of 20 kilometers, presented as a standard circle, high on the perimeter and low in the middle.
A typical explosion crater.
This is in line with the legend of an earth-shattering explosion that occurred when the imperial capital of Bresan disappeared.
"Nine times out of ten, life is not as good as it should be. On the contrary, Mr. Lan Xili was more open than Sean, "Our harvest this time has far exceeded our initial expectations." ”
Mr. Jean smiled. Sean smiled cheekily and changed the topic, "In the next period of time, I'm afraid that I will need to continue to trouble Mr. ”
"Could it be that something is wrong in the north?" Lan Xili was startled and asked with some concern.
Unconsciously, he had fully integrated into the group of the Eternal Night Army, and its safety naturally affected his heart.
With the growth of the Eternal Night Army, the division of labor is becoming more and more clear, and there are really not many things that need to be dispatched by Sean himself, among which the direction of the northern fortress Kogel steppe is the most defended against the Odin orcs.
In the vast Odin steppe, Sean's role in the detection of the Thunder Eagle is currently irreplaceable.
The people below didn't know, but the top brass of the Eternal Night Army knew that most of the credit for the series of brilliant victories achieved by the Northern Fortress was Sean's.
"If it's inconvenient, don't say it. Lan Xili finally added.
"It's not a military secret. The reason why Sean likes to communicate with Lan Xili very much is here, full of sense of proportion, "Don't worry, for a year and a half, the Odin orcs have not bothered with us, and they just received an invitation from Princess Regent, she is going to hold a four-party meeting and invite me to participate." ”
"Four-way talks?Which four-party?Philip Anjibena?" Lan Xili is not a political idiot, even if he used to, after reading the internal newspapers of the Eternal Night Group Army for several years, he will improve, and he dare not say that he knows a lot about the surrounding current affairs, and he will know a little, not to mention that he has always been more interested in these things, and has been paying attention to every move of the surrounding forces of the Eternal Night Group Army.
I guessed the idea in an instant.
"That's right, it's the Quartet. Sean nodded.
"This is a complete reshuffle of power in the Manyu Army, and Patlem is going to be left out. Lan Xili thought about it, Princess Regent Sophia, the Eternal Night Army, Anji Bena, and Philip joined forces, even if the Holy Aether Holy See was behind him, Patrium would not have any more chances.
"Who let him choose the wrong master, neither the Lancelot royal family nor the Witches' Secret Society want to see the Holy Aether Holy See settle in the Manyu military leader, it is only a matter of time before we join forces, we just have the right time to join the meeting, beat the side drum, and join in the fun. ”
In this four-party meeting, the real protagonists are the other three parties, and the Eternal Night Army will be at best a show, and fulfill the original promise made to Sophia, nominally swearing allegiance.
