Chapter 129: Uneasy Energy Beneath the Earth's Crust
So when Bradley went to meet with Lieutenant General Gulaman, the men on Mastan's side sprang into action, either by telephone or telegram, by different means and as quickly as possible to contact all the forces that could be borrowed in the army, and to do their best to integrate these forces.
"Lisa, give me a call to Brigadier General Olivia of the North!"
Mastan sat in his chair and pondered for a moment, then commanded Lisa with determination.
A person like Mastan, who is a brigadier general one step further, also has a group of comrades-in-arms and leaders in the army who are familiar with each other and even close to each other, and if they can be gathered, it will also be a great force.
Of course, considering that most of the generals in the army have been infiltrated, even those who knew him well in the past cannot believe it 100 percent. Therefore, when contacting the other party, you need to be vigilant, and only after a careful judgment can you confirm that the other party is not from the president and his group, and then tell them the truth.
"Yes!" Lisa nodded, pulling out Brigadier Olivia's contact information.
"Toot ......" Mastan picked up the phone and listened to the blind voice on the other side, "Hello, Brigadier General Olivia, I'm Roy Mastan from Eastern Command!" ”
"Hello......" A cold voice came from the other side.
Mastan is now in contact with Olivia Mira Armstrong, the commander of the Brickz Fortress in the Northern Territories.
Although Edward and Alex were already heading towards Fortress Blix, the journey from the Eastern Capital to Fortress Brickz was a long way to go, and it would take a lot of time to get on the road, and it would take a few days for them to arrive at Fortress Blix at the earliest.
According to the need to lay out the territory to form a formation, the fortress of Brikz must be an important fulcrum, and the last missing section of the pipeline will be connected there.
Solving the problem of forming a national territory as soon as possible and completely eradicating the crisis is an urgent concern of Mastan.
On the other side, when Mastan was talking to Brigadier General Olivia, Mastan's subordinates Habuke and others also rushed towards Central City at full speed. The death of the two artificial humans brought by the president to the Eastern Command will surely irritate Holmonx behind the scenes and make him make unpredictable moves.
Hubke and the others had to take Hughes's wife and daughter to the Eastern Capital before the military intercepted them, so as to solve Hughes's worries.
……
Meanwhile, the Edwards, Alex Armstrong, and Winley were on their way to the Northern Fortress.
This time, they took the military's emergency train, which was originally an emergency channel for transporting supplies in wartime, and the speed and efficiency were better than those of civilian trains.
In a hurry, Mastan activated the passage in the name of the Eastern Command, and Armstrong, led by Armstrong, rushed to the Northern Fortress with a credible special operations squad in the name of military exercises.
"Wen Li, would you like a cup of tea?" On the speeding train, Armstrong poured a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you!" Wen Li took the hot tea and said thank you, staring at the steaming hot air coming out of the cup with a silent face, her eyes as bright as autumn water were full of worry about the future, and asked uneasily, "Mr. Armstrong, can we really stop each other?" If we fail, will our country be doomed? ”
"Don't worry, we'll do our best." Armstrong sat beside Wen Li.
"Isn't there me and Edward, you should trust us."
"Hmm......" Wen Li nodded slightly.
After all, she was just a young girl, and when she was suddenly told that her country might be destroyed, the intense uneasiness that haunted her and frightened her.
"You still have relatives in your hometown, do you want to inform her to leave Amestolis?"
Wen Li thought of her grandmother and shook her head: "It's useless, even if you know the truth, grandma won't leave her hometown." You're right, Edward will be able to stop this. ”
"By the way, Wen Li seems to be very proficient in mechanical armor, I heard that the mechanical armor on Edward's arm was also installed by you......" Armstrong looked at Wen Li with interest like a chattering man who likes to gossip, he and Wen Li did not meet for the first time, and at that time he didn't seem to expect Wen Li's love for mechanical armor.
To be reasonable, a girl likes to tinker with machinery all day long, and such a hobby is really rare.
Speaking of mechanical armor, Wen Li suddenly became interested: "Yes, that guy Ed is frizzy all day long, and he said that he should cherish the mechanical armor I made for him, but every time he comes back, I have to repair it for him, which is really annoying." ”
"But this time I came to the Eastern Capital and found that the mechanical armor here is so developed, and many models have never been seen before."
Armstrong suddenly asked with interest: "You and Edward are childhood sweethearts, seeing that you care about Edward so much, have you ever considered marrying Edward as a wife in the future?" ”
Wen Li's face was flushed from the cold question, and she hurriedly picked up the water cup, and drank it regardless of whether the tea was hot or not, "Mr. Armstrong, why are you asking this, I didn't care about that guy!" ”
"Is that so?"
"Of course." Seeing the other party's smiling expression, Wen Li couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.
"Haha, I see that your relationship is so good, maybe you can really consider my suggestion, although Edward's little bean is a little shorter, but his strength is still good, and he is very responsible!"
Saying that, Armstrong bent his arm to show off his muscles, and Wen Li looked dazed, not knowing what this had to do with his muscles.
……
Time passed quickly, and seven days passed quickly. At this time, Edward and Alex, who had been heading north, finally entered the ice-covered area in the north.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless scene of heavy snowfall, and the white snow covers all the mountains and rivers, and in the ice and snow, the towering walls of the Blix Fortress are sixty or seventy meters high, and finally come into view.
Above the tower, a row of soldiers was stationed at the border, and in the middle of the procession was a long-haired female general with a long sword, which was magnificent.
That is Armstrong's sister, Brigadier General Olivia, the supreme commander of the fortress of Brikz.
……
"The specific situation of Mastan Dazuo has already contacted me, and according to Dazuo's intelligence, we have explored the entire underground of the fortress." Olivia is a heroic female general who gets straight to the point after an understatement of meeting Edward and her brother Alex.
"And what's going on now?" Edward asked anxiously.
Olivia looked at Edward, "I don't know the specifics, because I'm not an alchemist, but we did find a very spacious underground tunnel under the fortress, and from the results of the exploration, it does show a huge ring-like structure. ”
"Since you are all national alchemists, then come with me to take a look!"
"Hmm." Edward nodded solemnly, and then led Olivia and his men into a construction site at the heart of the fortress. There is a hand-dug underground entrance, and the soil is being transported out, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded by soldiers.
Olivia pointed to the entrance and said, "This is it, this is the entrance we dug out, only some of my cronies know about it at the moment, I will let Myerz go down with you." ”
As she spoke, she called her assistant Myrz, a dark-skinned man with white hair and scarlet eyes, who looked like an Ishvar.
"Please follow me." The officer, Miles, was the first to enter the cave.
Edward and Alex followed, and in the cold, damp underground tunnel, Edward found that there were railroad tracks inside, like gold diggers' mines, long rails that stretched out to the end in sight.
Edward leaned down, his ears on the rails to listen to the sound inside, then carefully sensed the flow of energy beneath the earth's crust, and after a while, he stood up with a solemn face.
"Judging from the flow of energy, this is indeed a large refining array, and with the large circumference of this railroad track as the boundary, there are countless unsettling energies stored in it." He stood up and said with a serious face: "It seems that what Jiang Mu said is true, we are facing an unprecedented crisis. ”
