Chapter 708: Conflict Escalation

But the Cummins family did not dare to act rashly, they were well aware of the Achilles heel of the Dragonwreck Battleship.

This thing is a deterrent force, and if it can not be used, it is best not to use it, otherwise once the stored magic energy is consumed in large quantities, its deterrent effect will not only be gone, but will become a burden.

The Witch Society will inevitably take the opportunity to bite and either destroy or capture, they have been coveting this treasure for a long time, and if it can fall into their hands, it will exert even greater strength.

And the ironclad battleship of the Witch Secret Society must have been able to be manufactured in batches.

Fortunately, this time the Cummins family is not alone, and there is a huge community of interests behind him.

While the two of them are entangled at sea, this huge community of interests is constantly making small moves on land.

King Laurie officially ordered the formation of the Holy New Army.

This holy new army started very high.

In terms of personnel, the elite Holy See Knights of the Holy See are used as the team, and the elite local garrisons of various territories are reorganized, and many of them are holy knights who have been blessed by the Pope and have mastered the use of holy power.

With continuous development, the magical power of the holy power is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When attacking, it can be turned into an invincible boost.

When defending, it strengthens the shield.

When healing, it can help people relieve pain and warm wounds.

When purified, it is again an evil nemesis.

The gap between the knights who have mastered the holy power and those who have not mastered it is very obvious.

Except for the blessing of the God of Truth, it is hard to imagine where this power comes from, and it has become the greatest pursuit of all Papal Knights.

According to the slogan of the formation of the Holy New Army, the Holy Force will be their standard in the near future.

According to the original plan, the Holy Forces nouvelles were to be reorganized into only ten legions.

But when the reorganization really began, it was found that there were too many young people who were eager to join, so King Laurie waved his hand and directly increased the number of legions to twenty.

Anyway, the people and money are not paid by him, but the army can be used for his own use, so why not?

Looking at the direction of the reorganization and deployment of the Holy New Army, it is clear that they are heading for the Twin Peninsula under the control of the Witches' Secret Society.

The Holy New Army is still being reorganized, and the new royal family is cooperating with the Holy See, but a new round of public opinion has begun, and the target is the secret meeting of witches, and there are ten major sins listed to the world, and there are hundreds of minor sins.

In order to study magic, conduct secret evil experiments, and disregard human life.

Imposed a dictatorship on the Twin Peninsulas and oppressed the nobility and people there.

This is all a rehash of the same old tune, and many of the charges are not clear at all, whether it is the crime of the Byron Alliance to rebel against the ancient Andis Empire, and it is directly appropriated.

This is mainly the rhetoric of the Holy See to stir up hatred among believers against the Witch Society.

The excuse for the new royal family's intervention in the situation on the Twin Peninsula is that the Witch Society has used evil means to control the inheritance of most of the local lord and noble families, especially the Holt family and the Harrison family, and has become a puppet in their hands.

This is a serious violation of the constitution and constitution of the autonomy of the major princely families signed by the Byron Union.

The royal family of Lancelot, as king of the Byron League, has an obligation to correct this mistake and save their allies from this manipulation, and if necessary, by force.

In order to show the righteousness of his own rhetoric.

The new royal family has somehow recruited a side heir of the Holt family named Iliva, and complains in the royal palace about how the Witch Society manipulates the politics and inhabitants of the Twin Peninsula.

There, the Grand Duke is not the Grand Duke, and the people are not the people.

There, the most luxurious thing is not the castle of the lords and nobles, but the mage towers of the witches.

There, people only knew the name of the witch, but they did not know who the Grand Duke was.

There, the kingdom is not the nation, and the people are not the people.

All have no chance to pursue a free life, they are just a bunch of puppets and slaves in the service of the witches in their quest for greater power.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and the evil warlocks of the Ancient Andis Empire?

In the face of this accusation, it is not known what the people at the bottom think, and no one cares.

However, the lords and nobles of the new royal family were filled with righteous indignation one by one, and they were eager to immediately raise troops to invade the Twin Peninsula, completely eradicate the witch secret society from there, and restore a peaceful and prosperous world in the world.

Of course, this is just a fool's talk, not to mention that other people don't believe it, even the parties themselves don't believe it.

What really excites them is still a benefit, and it can always be a benefit.

Once the new royal family moves against the Twin Peninsulas, it will be their chance to make a difference.

The new royal family is indeed holding high the banner of saving the Holt family and the Harrison family, but when the real fight starts, who can say for sure the final result.

Even if the new royal family really rescued the two Grand Dukes from the clutches of the witches' secret meeting, can they still be expected to be on an equal footing with the new royal family?

Like the Kingsley family, clinging to the new royal family and becoming a part of this whole is their ultimate destination, and the families they followed first naturally want a piece of the pie.

Wait until the eight major military leaders in the world, no, the nine major military leaders, seven of them are combined, and the remaining two military leaders, no matter how strong they are, what waves can they turn over?

The dream of the Byron alliance to form a vast empire was naturally realized.

If this was all this, the young King Laurie had already imagined it before he converted to the Holy See.

Is he really a loser who gave up the royal power in the eyes of the world?

While the Holy See is using the name of King Laurie to further expand its influence.

King Laurie is not or is pulling the banner of the Holy See and letting it be used for his own use, and only by using it as a glue can Archduke Patalem, Archduke Buck, and Archduke Christine be glued together to form the initial team and plot to be bigger.

Exactly who took advantage of whom, this kind of thing is not until the last minute, and it is really difficult to say.

It is not uncommon for some old foxes to calculate for a long time, and finally capsize in the gutter, and are killed alive by those young people who are not favored.

The western part of the Byron Alliance has gathered wind and rain, but the Eternal Night Army Leader sitting in the east has quietly entered a blowout state, because the heavy industry in Green City is booming, and a large number of high-quality steel products have been produced, making up for the biggest shortcoming in the resources of the Eternal Night Army, so that many of their plans that have been planned for many years can be launched.

The development and construction of the Danube Plain is only part of them.

The construction of the Andes Mountains, which was the foundation of their origins, never stopped.

The first major event, of course, is the new Brissan, the capital of the Eternal Night Army, which is beginning to see its outline.

Seventeenth year of the eternal night, August 1st.

Sean, Lord of the Eternal Night, led the higher-ups to officially settle in the castle of the lord of New Brissan, Castle Black, named after the black magical masonry of its main structure.

Nominally, Sean will live in Fort Black, but even the high-ranking members of the Eternal Night Army cannot find out his specific whereabouts, and no one will touch them, which is a taboo thing.

Blackcastle is a shapeshifting mage tower that has been connected to the mage tower of the Northern Fortress through an energy pipeline.

Sean only needs one doppelganger to sit on either side, and the two sides can exchange information.

This energy pipeline is the same underground passage that was excavated by the No. 1 Digging Purple Worm.

Just as Sean envisioned, the energy transmission pipeline and the transportation network are perfectly inlaid together.

Three months after the completion of the energy pipeline, the magic subway of New Brissan, which connects directly to the Northern Fortress, was officially opened.

The reason why the word magic is crowned in front of the subway is because the functional system of the subway is not coal, gasoline or electricity, but magic energy.

As I said earlier, the vehicle itself is walking on the energy transmission pipe, and there is a steady stream of magic energy flowing here, they are the best driving force, so why need additional power to drive?

Therefore, the train of the Eternal Night Army is naturally not called a train, but a magic tractor.

The first generation of the Magic Guide tractor is an experimental nature, the speed is not particularly fast, the empty speed is 100 km/h, the full load speed is 80 km/h, I believe that with the maturity of the technology, the speed will be faster and faster.

Even so, every leader and civilian of the Eternal Night Army who rode in the magic guide tractor had a wordless shock.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to get from New Brissan to the northern fortress, even the mountain people with better legs and feet have to walk for three days empty-handed.

If you're carrying a lot of cargo, don't even think about it for a week.

Now with the magic tractor, it only takes three hours before and after, and the person concerned only needs to sit there or take a nap the whole time, and it will arrive automatically.

Generally speaking, at present, the magic tractor is still mainly military, in the civilian area, the card is still very strict, and it is not possible to sit with money, and you must have the opportunity to sit on it with your identity certificate and letter of introduction.

The magic tractor is non-stop 25 hours a day, but there is a clear division of labor between day and night, mainly trucks at night, and half-people and half-cargo vehicles during the day.

"I guess that's right. Jensen scratched his head and looked at the address in his handβ€”the New Brissan Tractor Terminal.

According to his conjecture, since it is a transportation terminal, it should be a large-scale place with a lot of people and livestock, but after going around, I didn't find a similar place.

"Comrade, do you need any help?" a voice sounded not far away.

Jensen looked up and saw that he was a young man who didn't look much older than himself, with a capable face, a kind smile on his face, and a gray military uniform with no identification marks on his face, which was a common outfit for logistics staff when they went out to work.

Even if the two are not in the same system, they are also people with similar doppelgangers, which suddenly gave Jensen a sense of intimacy.

"I'm looking for a tow terminal. Jensen smiled shyly, not missing the opportunity to ask for directions, "Do you know how to go?"

"Looking at your expression, I have already guessed that I am not far from ten, come with me, I am also going to the tractor terminal to take a ride. The young man laughed.

"That's great. Jensen showed a look of surprise and stretched out his hand, "My name is Jensen, Ensign Jensen, and I haven't asked how to call me yet?"

"Capt. Bard. Bud also reached out and shook Jensen's hand.

"Sir. Instinctively, Jensen gave a military salute.

"When you go out on duty, if you don't have the same mission, regardless of military rank, just call me Bud. Bud waved his hand, "First time in a magic tractor?"

"First time sitting. Knowing that the other party's rank was two levels higher than his own, Jensen's expression and demeanor became more restrained.

It's not just a reverence for the other person's identity, but also a reverence for the other's merits.

Don't look at the difference between the two of them is only two levels, there is definitely a huge gap in the contribution to the military leader, not to mention anything else, the teacher he followed is only a captain at present.

Military ranks are a new military hierarchy that has been officially popularized in recent years.

It does not conflict with official titles, but further complements them.

If it is on the battlefield, once there is a situation where a large number of officers are lost, the military rank will replace the official rank, and the role of the officer will be taken over for command, and as for the replacement method, there are strict rules and regulations in the army.

However, for the Eternal Night Commander, the greatest use of military rank at present is still in the logistics research position, which is actually closely related to personal research results.

In the Eternal Night, the greater the personal contribution, the higher the rank.

If he is awarded the title of general in a scientific research position, then this person must be a leader in a certain industry in the military leadership.

For example, Admiral Ferdinand, who is a pioneer in the magical construction industry, many of the construction projects of the Eternal Night Army are handled by him, the construction of the Twin Cities, the construction of the Northern Fortress Mage Tower, the construction of the Brother Port Energy Reactor, the design and construction of the Lingdu New Brissan, etc., behind the large-scale infrastructure projects of the Eternal Night Army, no one can deny his merits.

For example, Admiral Elena, the first person in the medical field of the Eternal Night Army, the medical research base she leads, has overcome countless medical problems and pulled countless people back from the line of death, and her merits are also recognized.

Another example is Major General De Witt, a leader in the research of magical crops that has emerged in recent years, and has provided a lot of technical support for the development of the Danube Plain.

"The first time I sat down, I was confused, it was normal. Bud said with a smile, "Fortunately, when I sat for the first time, I was led by a teacher, so I didn't get dizzy." ”

"Originally, this time, it was decided that I would come with the teacher, but before leaving, the teacher fell ill, so I had to bite the bullet and come by myself. Jensen told the truth.

Bud asked with concern, "What kind of illness does your teacher have? It doesn't matter, right? ”

"Thank you for your concern, when the teacher just went deep into the local investigation, he was bitten by mosquitoes too badly, and he had acute malaria, and the disease has been controlled, but this disease comes quickly, and it is not suitable for long-distance travel. ”

Jensen has both self-teasing and curiosity, "Anyway, I also have the experience of running the Northern Fortress, I used to rely on my legs, I have never lost my way, but I have changed to advanced transportation, I can't find a clue, this magic tractor is really so magical? After my teacher sat once last year, he whispered in our ears for half a year, this time he didn't want to take me out to see the world, but I didn't expect him to come to it." ”

"Whether God is miraculous or not, wait for yourself to see for yourself. Bud gave an unfathomable smile, "This way, it's coming soon." ”
