The reason why we began to recruit those natives who could read, write and calculate, and then gave more remuneration, was because more and more projects on the island required workers with a primary level of education to be able to grasp the unit of measurement, do the most basic area calculation, roughly estimate the amount of earthwork of the project, and so on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the case of the ditch digging by the two sons of Quizeduin, it was actually a supporting project on the ground of the "Hanba Island Airport", and the trench dug was to be used for simple drainage around the airport and the apron. In the future, simple hangars and maintenance areas, steel towers and weather stations will be built on this still unleveled plot, which will have the level to support the take-off and landing of the main multi-purpose biplane (Y-15 Eltat) currently in service with the Elta Air Force, and then allow these civilian aircraft to provide support that can instantly change the battlefield situation, such as supplies, troops, airlift, and bombing.

Of course, this is only the obvious reason. In fact, the Fifth Department of the General Staff has always been convinced that many supernatural beings and their evidence can be found in the lair of the living gods, that is, the Lancas Islands, and this "expeditionary investigation team" of various geeks and scientists came into being.

As for what the expeditionary investigation team found on the Lancas Islands, whether it is a secret code of becoming a god or a clue to the Forerunner civilization, the fewer people who know, the better, in terms of trust, the Fifth Department of the General Staff does not want any "outsiders" to leave even one more fingerprint on the encryption box, whether it is the transfer of ships directly under the Fifth Department of the General Staff through the task force (tiltrotors need to take off and land multiple times) or the direct shipping of the task force, let alone through the hands of the Sujiao Army.

What the Fifth Department of the General Staff and the Central Committee wanted was a more "violent" method, such as the transfer of only one round of tiltrotor aircraft of the Fifth Department -- directly by the Y-20 modification with one-way quasi-intercontinental crossing capability and the pilots of the Second Department of the General Staff landing at the Banba Island airfield to complete the clean and clean direct transport mission between the Lancas Islands and the Portal Base. During this period, there was no landing, and only the Air Force's tankers provided range extension support.

Equipped with more powerful domestically produced engines, the Air Force's Y-20 modifications can take off at a shorter distance and land with stronger thrust reverse, and Banye Island will complete a runway of 1,600 meters long after this phase of the project, which takes about seven days, which can be regarded as enough to allow the Y-20 to land on one side and take off on the other side -- of course, this is a runway built according to the standards of the previous airfield, and it is inevitable that the Y-20 will have to enter the factory for maintenance after coming here and then going back.

And this 1,600-meter sandy runway is not the largest project under construction on Banba Island at all. In the immediate vicinity of "Port Peterson", a brand new shallow pier and road are already being planned. It had been four days since the operation against the Lancas Islands began, and the ships seized in and around the main Lancas shipping lanes and blockade lines had to be sent to Banba Island for loading and unloading in the end, and the old seaport of Banba Island, which had only three berths, and the "Petersen Port", which was dedicated to the loading and unloading of the Liberation ship, could not meet the requirements, so the task force had to make a big move and prepare for the construction of a new temporary seaport around Port Petersen.

As for the captured ships whose cargo did not need to be unloaded urgently, they had to drop anchor en masse at a designated shallow place outside Port Petersen, and the crews were all ordered to disembark and then placed under the centralized care of the task force......

At this point, the first step in attacking the entire archipelago was a solid step, and the task force was ready to begin preparations for the next goal of the operation, the second largest island in the Lancas Islands: Crown Island.

It was also the location of the Forbidden Spell Research Society of the Church of the Two Moons, a gathering place for high-level magicians all over the island, the birthplace of empty ships, and a training ground for the Wyvern Dragoons - if the island of Lancas was compared to Athens in Greece, then the island of the crown was Sparta, and it was not an exaggeration at all.

It's a pity that in this eventful season, Dingguan Island is still one of the military centers of the Lancas Islands and even the Bilunar Church, but this "Sparta" has long been left with 300 warriors, and only a group of "cowardly Greeks" are left hiding in the ruins of the empire and trembling against the powerful enemies outside.

Not only the seas beyond the archipelago, but also the shipping lanes between the archipelagos were no longer safe - the fact that a large number of ships had been completely seized made it impossible to hide the situation of the war in the Church itself, which had already been infiltrated by people from other worlds, and the gods of the world, who had just been dealt a huge blow, had to appear here in person, hoping to pick a few of the magicians they had once relied on to turn the tide of the war - if not reverse, it would be nice to alleviate this embarrassing, clumped in the throat.

He who can confuse the eyes of others, who can draw lightning in the clouds, who can make the whole army in front of him sluggish; Holding a giant back bladeless heavy sword but can be easily wielded as a dance, a light recitation technique can make the arrow break stone; It can make plants grow quickly and entangle enemy troops, and it can dominate all kinds of living creatures; The only remaining magicians of all these churches gathered at the headquarters of the Forbidden Spell Research Society on this crown island, looking at the living gods on the altar with a nervous expression revealing the current situation.

"The steps under the throne of the true god are about to be kicked over by the demons of the other world who do not know the depth of the height with their steel, flesh and black magic", this is the general meaning of the true god's speech, and the people in the audience naturally have their own evil intentions about it:

Some well-informed high-level magicians had already learned about the "appearance of the true god" from the channel of the temple guards, and although they were skeptical of the news that "a living god had been killed", they were not rigid enough to one-sidedly judge that this "strange news" was false news.

As for the senior members of the Forbidden Spell Research Society who have studied the weapons seized by the people of the other world, they are even more full of doubts about the words of the gods on the stage at this moment - the "guns and weapons" of the people of the other world are not magic at all, but a different set of theories that are very different from magic...... Naturally, they couldn't refute the words of the servants of God, but their words and deeds had already begun to have some strange sense of incongruity.

Of course, the vast majority of people in the audience are not affiliated with the Forbidden Spell Research Society, nor are they well-informed octaclaw monsters, and since this venue is not allowed to speak in private, they can only look for answers from other people's eyes in a daze. But both of them retracted their expressions, and the latter, who knew nothing, how could they know the cattiness?

"The situation has reached a very critical moment. Allowing the devil to destroy the shipping lanes of our archipelago and trample on our maritime borders is a terrible situation that the Church cannot endure and is extremely humiliating! ”

Kitaro on the stage did not have the embarrassed appearance of rolling under Chen Heng's heels a month and a half ago, and the other scepter he held in his hand still emitted a dazzling light in the auditorium of the Forbidden Spell Research Society. (The original wand has been damaged by an explosion due to capacitive breakdown and cannot be recovered)

"For unpredictable and extremely bad events such as the appearance of demons in another world, the contamination of the Elta people, as the forbidden spell research society that directly manages the Elta portal plan, naturally bears an unshirkable responsibility for this!" As the black cauldron fell from the sky, his leading voice echoed more and more violently in the auditorium, which had been a little silent just now. "The Church Army and the Inquisition Society, which have been 'wiping their ass' for the Forbidden Spell Study, have shed their blood and exhausted their efforts, and this time should also be the time for you to prove your piety for the banner of the true God, for the church admired by all the people, and for the faith in your hearts!"

With a wave of his hand, the lid of the bronze tube hidden behind the scepter unscrewed, revealing someone's signature. "Your superiors have joined forces with our divine servants to pass the plan for the forbidden spell research society to fight, and today I, as a divine servant, the gods of this world are not here to seek your opinion, but to bring the words here, this is the order of our divine servants, and it is the will of the true god that cannot be violated!"

It was the binding document that the archbishop in charge of the Forbidden Spell Research Society signed and drew the magic seal - there was no way, when Chen Heng was in the temple of the main island of Lancas, the archbishops of several major departments of the Church of the Two Moons and the bishops and archbishops of the islands were all gathered here, and after that, it would be an unchangeable and known fact to everyone present, so it would not be difficult for them to sign the document that the present god had made to prove its validity - even if it was not so, they don't have the courage to go against the gods of the world who still enjoy the highest power such as personnel appointments and dismissals on the islands at this stage, to put it bluntly, even if the gods of the world want them to do this, they still have to do it.

However, no amount of power suppression can change the fact that this is a complete lie. The light curtain of Oceania could not prevent the truth from sprouting in the human mind and then being born in the human mind, and the clumsy power of the gods of the present world could not prevent the doubts of the present members of the Forbidden Spell Research Society from continuing to develop, but instead allowed these doubts and thoughts to gain more nutrients and grow into cracks in the future.

Needless to say, the results of the meeting were unspeakable - the mages present, regardless of their level of magical skills, were all adults who had made a difference in the "system", and would not be so brainless as to openly argue with him in front of the leaders of the power system, embarrass themselves, or even send themselves to prison. In Shanhu's "Long Live the Twin Moon Sect", Kitaro was satisfied with the reason and result for letting the Forbidden Spell Research Society fight, but his eyes were not low enough to see the puzzled and even somewhat dissatisfied expressions of the people in the audience.

These manifestations are silent and deadly cracks that are now growing within the Church of the Two Moons......
