Chapter 815: Glacial Tsunami
The farther north, the cold current brought by the high-pressure clouds over the Arctic Ice Sheet became more obvious, and it entered within a hundred miles south of Gaunt City, like a watershed.
Lin An and the others were no longer the little apprentices who had just entered the ice field, and the freezing cold could no longer have any effect on their actions.
Salin flew out of the protective barrier on the surface of the flying clouds, his body was exposed to the cold wind mixed with ice particles in the sky, and the robe automatically formed a three-inch-wide layer of protection, paused in the air, and took a deep breath:
"This familiar cold is really nostalgic!"
The ice field is the place where he made his fortune, the place where his soul transforms, and it is inevitable that he will feel nostalgia - not only Salin, but also Lin Ansidney and Titi.
The two that were fresh to the ice field were Athena and William, the former lying in the long fluff of the latter, his eyes wide open, and the two pairs of buttery eyes looking curiously at the situation below.
"Even if it's the depths of winter, after all, it hasn't entered the Gaunt line, and such a cold is a bit unusual."
Lin An wondered if the demon clan had done something, this kind of coldness had no effect on the demon army, but the weakening of the human army was visible to the naked eye.
"What do you mean...... The demons cast a spell to control the climate? ”
Salin thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, but the ice field is so big, the climate of the demon race is okay for a while, and it will inevitably take a huge price to maintain a long-term and lasting effect, and this will inevitably have very large fluctuations in magic power, and the strong people of the human race will not sit back and watch such a large-scale compound spell succeed." ”
"That's right, maybe I'm overthinking!" Lin Andao.
What Lin An and his entourage didn't know was that when they were talking about this topic, a meeting related to it was also taking place in a conference room of the headquarters of Gunt City. If Lin An knew the content of the meeting, then he would no longer think that his worries were superfluous.
“…… What the hell is going on with that glacier? Can anyone give me an explanation as to why the glacier off the coast of the Magical Duchy is losing half of its volume for no apparent reason. Still drifting towards the coastline of the mainland? ”
The main seat of the mahogany conference table. A military general with a ribbon of various medals on his chest leaned forward, his hands crossed on the table, and a roar resounded throughout the conference room:
“…… And such a glacier, the size of a third of the Duchy of Stuart, floats in the sea. You reported it to me just three days before the tsunami it caused hit the magical principality of Tut Harbor and could no longer be hidden?
Why don't you just wait for half of the Duchy to be submerged by the tsunami, and half of the civilians of the Duchy to freeze to death by the glacier, before you come to inform me - wait for everyone to die, and save us the need to clean up!! ”
Most of the officers in the conference room glared angrily at the person who was standing at the other end of the conference table and was being roared, and the problem they had caused this time was so great that it was an unprecedented catastrophe since the Demonic Plague:
If the ensuing tragedy is as described by the white-haired general, the glacier destroys most of the Magic Duchy, it will be the greatest disaster since Merlin's founding - perhaps only the sum of the losses of the war on the northern front for thousands of years. to be able to catch up with the population lost in the disaster this time.
The leader of the several officers who were reprimanded was under tremendous pressure and sweating, but he had to defend himself, otherwise he would admit the crime, not to mention him, but his family. There will be no place to die!
He is not the one in charge of the actual position, but as the leader of the peak, he is also duty-bound and tries his best to muster up the courage to argue:
“…… Please, please allow me to defend my subordinates -- my subordinate did not neglect his duties, deceive and delay, and he was the first to receive the report. It was immediately reported to the Military Intelligence Service.
However, the report was stranded in the intelligence department for three days, and we repeatedly urged and reminded us of the situation no less than 20 times, but because the intelligence department did not trust the contents of the report -- we saw that the situation was serious, we had to violate the army's laws and regulations and report it to the higher levels, otherwise the report would not have appeared on the desks of the generals so far! ”
"What! What does MIA do to eat! ”
"Impossible!"
Several generals were furious when they heard this, but Lieutenant General Vito of the General Military Intelligence Department was incredulous and blurted out, "I haven't seen the relevant report!" ”
"That's because the MIA doesn't trust our inferences and suspects that we have fabricated the contents of the report to deceive the investigation of military spending...... In fact, the first time he saw the contents of the report, Xia Guan didn't quite believe in the prediction of the disaster."
The officer did not dare to raise his hand to wipe his sweat under the gaze of many people, and said with a wry smile:
"According to the report of the Principality of Magic, which has been monitoring the trajectory of the glacier for many years, the probability that the glacier the size of the Duchy of Stuart will break by half at one time is almost zero;
Moreover, the direction of the winter flood current has not changed this year, and even if the glacier fragments move, under normal circumstances, they will never move towards the coastal coast of the Magic Principality;
In addition, the port of Tut is not ice-free, and the cold glacial currents pass through it, and the average thickness of the frozen ice in the sea off the port in previous years has reached almost one zhang, and the probability of any tsunami under such a thick ice surface can be imagined......"
In order to avoid the impact of disasters on coastal fishing and transportation, the Magic Principality has long observed and monitored glaciers, and even has a thick collection of data, which has been summarized for thousands of years.
And the IQ of the generals in the headquarters here is also on the level line, even if there is no thick law data for reference, just based on the description and enumeration of the officers, this kind of completely impossible situation seems ridiculous to come together.
No wonder the MI doesn't believe such a report, instead of concocting such a nonsense report, they will just throw it into the wastebasket if they don't concoct such a nonsense report and think that it will happen.
But the glacier fragments will not disappear from the sea due to their distrust, and the monitoring tower built by the Magic Duchy in Port Tut has already monitored the tsunami that is advancing towards the coastline, as well as some small icebergs that have already landed along the coast, and the tsunami disaster and the glacier hitting the coastline will only appear in the plot, which will be played out in reality!
After a short silence, someone said: "All in all, this disaster was caused by a glacier break, and it is not possible that it is man-made?" ”
"How is it possible, if it is man-made, unless it is a legendary ......"
"How is it impossible, there are still a few old immortals in the demon clan who have fallen into dormancy, if you sacrifice a quilt in exchange for the magic principality disappearing from the mainland, this deal has been done!"
"I think ......"
In the midst of the argument, not many people noticed that outside the window on the south side of the conference room, a figure was gesturing carefully inside through the glass window, and the lieutenant general of the military intelligence department swept it keenly, poured two sips of tea, sat down for a while, got up silently, and the nearby general looked at his empty teacup and grinned.
The lieutenant general came back not long after he went out, and the sudden sound of the door closing made the noisy sound of the conference room instantly quiet.
The lieutenant general did not return to his seat, and stood at the door and said calmly:
"There is no need to quarrel, the military intelligence department has just received the information from below, a few months and a half ago the sailor who was shipwrecked on the edge of the inner sea of the Principality of Magic said that before the ship was shipwrecked, he saw the direction of the open sea, and a huge white pillar of light lit up, and the mage tower played a message, Master Mourinho and others have learned of the situation, and will do their best to notify His Majesty the Azure Spear."
The conference room was silent for an instant, and all the generals gritted their teeth in their hearts at the same time:
Holy See !!
How could they forget that the legendary powerhouse can't make a move lightly, but there is also the Holy See, which can do the same thing, and since their own level has not reached the legend, even if the will of the law is punished, they will have to wait for them to be promoted to the level equivalent of legend!
"This is no longer something we can handle, figure out how to deal with the aftermath, and prevent the soldiers from mutiny-the content of this meeting is confidential, the minutes of the meeting are encrypted and put into the secret box, and I am responsible for reporting to His Majesty and dismissing the meeting."
The white-haired admiral, who was presiding over the meeting, stood up and hurried out of the room.
……
Lin An, who entered the ice field from the realm of Meryl Kingdom, could not guess what was happening along the coast of the Magic Principality, thousands of miles away, even if he had the talent for prophecy.
Half a day later, they found the relatively weakly defended area of Gunt City and quietly smuggled in, secretly feeling a little strange in their hearts, the warning Cheng Dù on the front line of Gunt City was a little worse than they expected.
It's not that the garrison army is not strictly disciplined and loosely guarded, but the defense of ordinary armies alone cannot prevent those with extraordinary powers, and naturally it will not cause too many obstacles to the demon mages who are preparing to cross the border and enter the Terran settlements - this is a little far from what they heard before.
But Lin An didn't think much about it, and it was impossible for him to personally intervene in defense if he thought too much.
Athena controlled the flying clouds to go five hundred miles deep, and there were no traces of the demon undead army in her field of vision, and the prediction of Salin's sand table deduction in this regard was basically accurate.
Stopping at an ice peak, they found a deep ice gap, several people dug a cave in the depths of the ice gap, cast spells to strengthen the ice wall, drew a magic circle on the smooth ice wall, took out the prepared rune stones and real platforms, etc., this cave soon became a hidden temporary magic real room.
"According to the original plan, Salin and Sidney will continue to carry out the real yàn in the real yàn room, Athena will maintain the illusion to cover the real yàn room, William will guard, and Titi and I will be responsible for spying on the demon army and capturing the undead and the undead transformation circle in the hands of the demons."
Lin An commanded resolutely, Athena was a little reluctant, but she knew that she and Titi, who could communicate with Lin An from a distance, must have something to stay, and William looked at his black and shiny and majestic long hair, and whimpered and lay down:
They were originally gray and white!
