In Gawain's opinion, what Rosetta is doing is not even a conspiracy - everything is happening above board.

It even gave him the feeling that Rosetta Augustus, who was far away in Aldenan, was giving himself a look in the air and making him look at the ......

And Gawain thought about it seriously and felt that this could really only continue, because all this was exactly what he was looking forward to.

No matter what means are used, it is necessary to reduce the number of spiritual pollution carriers as much as possible, weaken the influence of the god of war in the material world, and keep the enemy outside the country, and in this regard, Rosetta just has a tacit cooperation with Cecil......

"Ancestor, is this really okay?" Hetty couldn't help frowning, Rosetta Augustus's series of operations were really beyond her expectations, in her impression, this kind of bold and unreasonable operation seemed to be done only by the ancestor who had risen up in front of her, "Typhon is using our hands to remove those mentally alienated infected......"

"The point now is not whether there is a problem with this, but only this - Rosetta threw us a pitch that must be picked up, and now we can only accompany him to do it," Gawain said calmly, "It's not so much that this is in line with my thoughts - we don't have that much energy to deal with the sane Typhons, but if it's the infected on the other side...... That's a different story. ”

The strange feeling in Hettie's heart still couldn't subside, and she pursed her lips with a look of disbelief on her face: "But he can do it openly...... The soldiers and nobles who had been tainted by the god of war were still mobilized by him at will, and the god of war did not react at all in the process......"

"Just as we've been analyzing the way gods are born and operate, Rosetta Augustus has his own research in this area," Gawain's expression became serious, "and he's obviously found the pattern...... When the god was in a state of half-madness, he accurately exploited the loopholes in the field of 'war' - even sending infected god of war believers to the front line to die, this was essentially a link to support the war, and as long as this was within the framework, then he would not incur the backlash of the god of war, and the mentally tainted nobles and soldiers would obediently obey Aldenan's orders. ”

"The problem is that even mentally deranged armies have normal intelligence on the battlefield, and even due to the loss of the fear and weakness of ordinary human beings, those who have been mentally polluted have burst out with combat effectiveness far beyond normal soldiers," Hetty said solemnly, "Rosetta Augustus is constantly depleting our combat power by sending those nobles and soldiers who have lost control to Winterwolf Castle......"

"Of course he wants to consume our combat power, our hundreds of thousands of mechanized legions are stationed in the land of Typhon, can he sleep?" Gawain waved his hand, "It's not hard to guess what he thinks, I can only say ...... It's a very good plan. ”

Rosetta Augustus's intentions were clear to Gawain - the chaotic and sudden war had plunged both empires into a whirlpool, and countless people were in a daze to see what the future would hold, but for the rulers of both empires, it was all as clear before their eyes as the mountains and rivers in the sun.

This war may be sudden, but in the long run, there will be such a battle between Typhon and Cecil sooner or later, so when it does come, Rosetta Augustus will inevitably try to bring the situation back under his control as much as possible, and find the best benefit from it - he will send those armies under the control of the god of war to the front, and in this way, he will quickly reduce the risk of instability in the country, and those uncontrolled legions that are not afraid of death can also be used to weaken Cecil's combat power. At the same time, the out-of-control forces will buy Rosetta valuable time to restore order and regain Typhon's disadvantage at the beginning of the war.

That may not give him much of an advantage, but it can at least bring Typhon and Cecil back on the same page.

In addition, Rosetta will also take this opportunity to sweep away all the instability in Typhon's country, and get a chance to completely reorganize the order like Cecil in the past, his rule will be strengthened like never before, and the upper echelons of Typhon will be truly united......

Of course, there is a big premise for all this - the situation will really develop as he planned.

"Ancestor, do we need to make a plan to attack Aldenan?" Hetty watched Gawain's expression change, and after a moment of thought, she suddenly broke her silence, "Maybe, it will be useful." ”

Gawain glanced at Hetty in some surprise, and then he was silent for a few seconds before he slowly said, "Plan...... There is always something to have. ”

"Yes, I see." Hetty lowered her head and said, then she looked up and saw that Gawain's gaze was falling on the map of the continent not far away—that map had been outlined with all kinds of lines and markings, and the seemingly chaotic markings faintly revealed the hidden order in the depths of this war.

"I've been thinking about one thing," Gawain said slowly, "could there be something deeper behind this......

Hetty blinked, with a hint of curiosity, "What do you mean?" ”

"That runaway god of war is only projecting his power on mortals who believe in him to cause chaos until now, but is there really only this chaos in a catastrophe? Intelligence shows that Rosetta Augustus is carrying out a large-scale purge in the country, and at the same time is taking a series of shutdowns, suppressions, and censorship actions against the Church of the God of War, although this seems to be a normal means of reorganizing order, but will this be an active stimulus for the God of War who has lost control? Gawain curled his fingers and tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair as he said, "Rosetta Augustus's series of bold actions now make me feel like a gambler...... But he can't be a gambler, or rather, he can't be a 'pure gambler'. ”

Hetty gave a thoughtful expression: "Not a 'pure gambler'......"

"Pure gamblers will gamble everything at any cost, and Rosetta ...... He will surely calculate all the costs and the possibility of failure precisely, and bet carefully on what he can bet," Gawain said in a deep voice, "so when he decides to gamble, there is only one possibility - he does have a certain amount of 'bet' and confirms that there is a possibility of success in it, whether it is a gain or a loss, is acceptable to him." ”

Gawain said this with a very determined expression, although he and Rosetta Augustus had only met once or twice from a personal point of view, but as the ruler of the empire...... Cecil and Typhon have fought each other countless times.

The commercial bills, the circulating intelligence, the accounts of Typhon's New Deal and the House of Augustus...... Countless third-party sources have long pieced together the full picture of Rosetta Augustus's "portrait".

For Gawain, this "portrait" pieced together from intelligence and information is even more reliable than Rosetta himself.

He fell silent, and began to sort through all the information he had so far, and speculated about what Typhon might do next—he didn't really worry about the "war" itself in the first place, he trusted his army, he trusted Philip and the other generals, he trusted the technology, industry, and people of the empire, and what he really worried about was what stood behind the war.

"Psionic Singer Project ......," he said as he suddenly looked up at Hetty, "where are we now?" ”

Psionic Singers, special soldiers specially used to fight against all kinds of spiritual pollution (including the spiritual pollution of the gods), these special soldiers use the Kraken's "Song of the Deep Sea" as the core technology, the "Psionic Choir" of the Sleeper as the training blueprint, relying on nerve thorns and a series of auxiliary equipment in the fields of biochemistry, soul, and magic to achieve "mass production", from the beginning, this special soldier project is something that Gawain is particularly concerned about.

As a country that has experienced the Divine Plague and has been studying the gods for a long time, Cecil currently has some technologies that can fight against spiritual pollution, but these technologies have their own flaws - the most basic "mental protection system" is the primitive and crude use of Kraken runes, which has limited effect and can only be passively protected; The most advanced "human barrier" is to run in the neural network, which is more effective and can actively remove and even "prey" the mental pollution within the range, and can also access the mortal mind for effective "treatment", but it must rely on the network to operate, and has high requirements for equipment and infrastructure engineering.

For Cecil today, the neural network can't even be fully covered in China, and it is obviously more difficult for the army to keep the network open - after all, there are no communication satellites in this era, and the neural network can only rely on the magic network nodes to maintain operation, and even the most advanced "Iron Ambassador" multi-purpose vehicle, its communication tower can only maintain a limited range of signal transmission.

Originally, these problems were not so urgent, and the mental protection system and human barrier were enough for Cecil to protect himself in the country, but this sudden war disrupted the rhythm of Gawain's development - now he urgently needed a new unit that could actively resist the spiritual pollution of the gods, move flexibly on the front line, and operate independently from network restrictions, without affecting the protection effect in expeditionary operations under complex conditions.

Wendy, the former Archbishop of the Sleepers, is training the "Psionic Singers" who best fit his requirements - however, the project has not progressed for a long time.

"As for the Psionic Singer, Miss Wendy sent a message yesterday," Hetty began, "and the prototype soldiers at this stage are still not able to enter the battlefield...... Stability is very problematic. However, if you have time, you can still check the situation. ”

Sure enough, this kind of thing can't be achieved by thinking about it......

Gawain thought for a moment, "Do I have anything else on my schedule today?" ”

Hetty recalled: "There was a council of consuls in the evening, and there was no other arrangement until then. ”

"Then let's go and see," Gawain said, standing up, "at least see what the prototype soldier is like at this stage." ”

……

On the north bank of the Whitewater River, at a research facility affiliated with the Imperial Military Research Department near the Pyramidal Computing Center, testing of the prototype soldier of the Psionic Singer is still ongoing.

It is a large, bright laboratory with a large open space in the center of the rectangular room. In the four corners of the room, four alloy square pillars with a metallic sheen and runic glimmer can be seen, and around the central clearing, a number of neatly arranged cylindrical devices that are only half a meter high can be seen. Technicians in short white robes were busily busily busily around the cylindrical devices, and many of them were familiar faces.

Standing at the front was a dignified and beautiful young lady with her hair held up high, she was Wendy "Spiritual Song", the former Archbishop of the Eternal Sleeper, now an Imperial researcher, and an expert in neuroscience and spirituality, while Yuri and Semler, who were once also archbishops, stood beside her. In addition, Pitman, who came to assist as a biochemical expert, was also on the scene.

The test subject was a young man standing in the middle of the clearing with freckles on his face.

The young man was wearing a special set of light armor—not so much armor, but a "close-fitting frame" for holding the various rune inserts, and the runic devices used for testing shimmered faintly throughout the armor; His hands and forearms are equipped with special "arm guards", which look somewhat similar to the now commonly used second-generation military magic terminals, but there is no weapon unit in sight, and the original position for the ray gun or lightning launcher is replaced by a large number of intricately constructed metal bumps, which obviously should have a special purpose.

While the technicians around him were busy, the young man was checking his arm guard buckles, and he moved his wrist from time to time, looking a little nervous.

When Gawain and Herty arrived at the scene, they saw such a scene.

He walked between the busy technicians, raised his hand to signal that everyone did not have to be formal, and smiled and nodded in response to the young man on the test field who was bowing to him in a panic, and then looked at Wendy "Spiritual Song" on the side: "To be honest, the Psychic Singer is a little different from what I imagined...... I thought there would be at least one set of 'singing' in the lab, but all I saw was rune armor, magic terminals, and nerve thorn safes. ”

Wendy was not surprised by Gawain's words, and she chuckled faintly: "The 'singing' of psionic singers is not audible with ears, and naturally they don't need to be 'sung' with their mouths - please don't be misled by this name, they are only called 'singers' because the power they use comes from the song of the deep sea of the Siren." ”

Gawain was stunned for a moment, then realized that he seemed to have misunderstood this matter before, and at the same time, Wendy continued with a smile: "Therefore, theoretically, psionic singers don't even need to be able to 'sing' at all - it is enough to be able to skillfully manipulate neural thorns and a series of brainwave amplifiers. ”

Hetty, who came with Gawain, couldn't help but glance at Wendy when he heard this: "I heard the song you recorded on the show, I thought it was ......"

"It's just a hobby," Wendy smiled faintly, "The 'singing' of the psionic singers is for fighting the crazy and chaotic gods and evil spirits, those things...... I don't know how to appreciate music. ”
