Chapter 349: Mechanical Civilization
Even if you have to leave, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Although the expeditionary force is from the Silent Forest, the foundation is from the Fifth Legion, but now in addition to the three thousand marksmen, phantom marksmen, elven archers and dwarves are all from the forest country, including the senior generals in the army, none of them are from Erathia, Lufasi, Thomas, and Corincha are not from the Elasians, and Higg cannot forcibly drag them to Erathia, but according to the principle of voluntariness.
"You have your own way of life in the forest country, you have your own relatives and friends, you have your own homeland, and I don't force anyone to follow me!" Higg said loudly at the mobilization meeting on his return, "But when the expeditionary force just entered the country, I said that those who follow me are my brothers, their parents, brothers and sisters, all my relatives, and Fuxing City is your home. I will set aside a jungle in Fuxing City for your placement, and you and your immediate family members can live in your own home! Of course, I am not reluctant to stay if you are willing to stay, because it is also your responsibility to recover the forest country! …… You have three days to think about it, and after three days, the expeditionary force will return home! ……”
……
"Mr. Higg!" Smecta said, "How can I handle the burden of Horqin City and the advance detachment by handing over the burden of Horqin City and the advance detachment to me?" Let me go with you! ”
"Come with me? Smecta, do you still think you're a child? You've grown up! Sigg patted Smecta on the shoulder and smiled, "You have to be as brave as your father, you have to be independent yourself in order to break out of your own world, otherwise, you will always live in the shadow of others!" ”
Smecta was at a loss, without Higg, he seemed to have no backbone, his advance detachment seemed to have no soul, and the road in front of him was still very long......
"Teacher Higg, I just arrived here, and you're leaving, what do you want me to do?" Noah asked with a bitter face.
"Aren't you going back to Fuxing City with me?" Higg asked curiously.
"I want to go to the Alchemy Country to find Master Altai!" Noah said, "Although Noah's airship has been transformed by me and has been improved a lot, only in the Alchemy Country, only by finding the Altai master, can he be made more perfect!" Besides, I have promised Princess Nicole that this Noah airship will be given to the Alchemy Kingdom! ”
"But how do you go to the Alchemy Country?" Higg asked, "The Alchemy Kingdom is three or four thousand kilometers away from here, and it needs to cross the ocean, can your Noah's airship fly that far?" Besides, the alchemy country is raging in the wind, and there is no one to rely on on the sea, even if there is fuel to fly there, what if something happens? ”
"I'll go to the alchemy country with Noah!" Lan Xian'er said, "I just happened to go to Nicole to discuss how the Golden Yuan Empire could be fully developed in the Alchemy Country, Nicole will definitely be interested!" ”
"Even you're leaving me?" Higg asked with a smile.
"The Alchemy Country is my maiden home, why did I leave when I went back to my mother's house?" Lan Xian'er grinned, then changed her face and said calmly, "I'm still a little worried about Fuxing City!" The Alchemy Country has the largest investment in Fuxing City, and I think that this time to seek the Alchemy Country to protect Fuxing City, I must persuade Ainsey to first let him recognize the neutrality of Fuxing City, and then let him promise that being an enemy of Fuxing City is an enemy of the Alchemy Country. ”
"Ainsey is not a fool, he will agree with you?" Higg said, "Even so, Arad and Catherine don't dare to do anything to Fuxing City, but the sworn enemy of the Alchemy Country, Shenlong Island, will definitely not buy the account of the Alchemy Country, but because Fuxing City has the huge interests of the Alchemy Country, they are likely to be more interested in Fuxing City, and it is difficult to say that they will not make any moves!" ”
Lan Xian'er smiled: "So, I want you to come forward to persuade Rainbow Island, and also recognize the neutral status of Fuxing City, and promise to be the enemy of Fuxing City, that is, the enemy of Rainbow Island!" ”
"Those four old men on Rainbow Island?" Higg shook his head and said, "They're shrewd enough not to interfere in such a thing!" ”
"Your card on Rainbow Island should be used too!" Lan Xian'er said, "Didn't Rainbow Island promise you one thing, as long as it doesn't violate morality, they are all duty-bound?" How long do you want to stay? Fuxing City is safe, so you have no worries, and you can return to the Fifth Army wholeheartedly, otherwise, the Arad forces border Fuxing City, and you can destroy Fuxing City at any time with little action. ”
"Even if there is Rainbow Island and Alchemy Country, if I return to the Fifth Legion and continue to fight against Arad, Arad may not be desperate!" Higg said worriedly, "So, no matter what, I'll be tied up in the Fifth Legion!" Fuxing City does not build a complete city wall like other cities, but only builds many defenses around the city, these defensive measures have no problem with the army of comparable strength, but if the third war zone from the land, and the sixth war zone from the sea, all the strength of Fuxing City, Fuxing City will not last a month! With so much wealth amassed in Fuxing City, it's impossible for Arad not to be blushing, he's worth the risk! ”
"And what can you do?" Lan Xian'er said.
"Destroy the Third War Zone!" Higg gritted his teeth and said, "Beside the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" ”
"What?" Lan Xian'er exclaimed, "Is this possible?" Even if the Third War Zone was wiped out by Cologne and Fuxing City a few years ago, more than 200,000 troops were wiped out, but after such a long time, it was time to recover, and the number of troops was at least 600,000 or more! Moreover, if the third theater is attacked, it is impossible for the fourth theater not to help, just with the more than 200,000 people of the Fifth Army Corps, plus tens of thousands of people from the expeditionary force, at most 300,000, why should you destroy them? If it can't be destroyed, Fuxing City will be finished! ”
"Humph!" Higg said fiercely, "Back then, my father used the strength of a legion to deal with the barbarian nation, and the powerful barbarian country was embarrassed! With an army of 300,000, I don't believe that I can't destroy a third war zone, as long as the speed is fast enough, there is absolutely no problem! However, it will be up to Shariev to inform Catherine and get him to cooperate with our actions! As long as Fuxing City can hold out for a month without being captured, I will be able to take the initiative and destroy the third war zone! ”
"A month?" Lan Xian'er was surprised and said, "The base camp of the third war zone of the Luojia River Plain army is at least 1,700 kilometers, and it will take nearly a month just to march, this is too risky!" ”
"I don't care about that much!" Higg said, "If I don't take some hard medicine, Arad thinks I'm only defending, not attacking, hehe!" Even you don't think it's possible, will Arad think it's possible? The third theater of war itself, do you think it is possible? If we don't make a surprise move, we can't open the situation! ”
"When will you do it?" Lan Xian'er asked.
"Winter!" Higg said, "There is still a lot of work to prepare during this period, you and Noah need to return to the Luojia River Plain as soon as possible, and I still need your help!" ”
……
The expeditionary force eventually gathered 50,000 men and followed Higg back home, while the rest joined Smecta's advance detachment.
With Corincha as the vanguard, Lu Fasi as the main force of the Chinese army, and Thomas as the logistical baggage, returned to the Silent Forest the same way......
On Noah's airship, Lan Xian'er and Noah were talking and laughing, and Noah asked curiously: "Your little stone can replace dozens of tons of essential oil burning energy, it's amazing!" I struggled to come up with essential oils, a high-performance fuel, which is not as good as your little stone! ”
"Sometimes I'm really curious, Noah!" Lan Xian'er said, "Who are you?" Your strange idea is not a flash of inspiration, but a memory hidden deep in your heart, right? ”
Noah was taken aback and said, "How do you know? ”
Lan Xian'er looked at Noah with a smile on her face and said, "Do you think it's possible for a teenager to be so proficient in the principles of various instruments and various manufacturing processes?" ”
"I don't know what's going on!" Noah said dejectedly, "It seems that there are some things that I am born with, and some things, although they are more complicated, but in my mind, it always seems that I can always search for what I need, and the more I search, the more complex the things in my mind become, and sometimes, I don't dare to think about it!" ”
"You really don't know what's going on?" Lan Xian'er asked in surprise.
Noah shook his head and said, "I'm confused myself! ”
"I heard that it was Master Altai who found you in the refugee camp and personally took you as an apprentice!" Lan Xian'er said, "But I've never heard you say what you were doing before you became a refugee?" What do your parents do? Where are you a refugee from? ……”
Noah hugged his head in pain, trembling and pleading, "Sister, don't ask......"
"What's wrong, Noah?" Lan Xian'er asked in surprise, thinking that Noah suddenly had some kind of illness.
"I don't know what you're asking!" Noah regained his strength for a long time and said, "I actually want to know it too, but I can't remember it, and when I think about these things, I have a splitting headache, I beg you not to ask about it again!" ”
"Can't remember?" Lan Xian'er was even more shocked, and was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Noah stared at Lan Xian'er, also dazed, full of questions, "What do you know?" ”
"I'm just guessing!" Lan Xian'er said, "This kind of thing, unless you can fully remember it, no one can be sure!" ”
"And what did you guess?" Noah asked.
"You should be a time-traveler from another dimension!" Lan Xian'er said.
"Another dimension?" Noah jumped up in surprise, and although Lan Xian'er said it calmly, in his heart, it was a thunderbolt that exploded, and he shouted, "You mean, I'm a dimensional traveler?" ”
"I'm just guessing based on your actions!" "You may come from a civilization that is completely different from Middle-earth, most likely a civilization with highly developed mechanical technology!" You don't know what happened before you became a refugee, and it is likely that the memory of that dimension has been erased, but the subconscious is still there, and these subconscious minds will gradually let you find the traces of that dimensional civilization! ”
"A civilization with highly developed mechanical technology?" Noah couldn't believe his ears and said, "Isn't it possible to recover any memory?" ”
"I'll help you recover your memory in the future, but not yet, I don't have this ability yet!" Lan Xian'er said, "I also want to know where you, a dimensional traveler, come from!" ”
"Not good, storm ahead!" Noah looked frightened, and pointed ahead with a pale face and exclaimed......
