Chapter 667: Waiting
Emperor Shenxuan is like a sculpture, standing motionless on the shore of the sea, looking at the sea, the rolling waves can't wet half of his dragon robe, the warmth of the ocean in winter can't wrinkle his face is not confused, but it looks like a face in his early twenties.
No one knew what he was thinking at the moment, or whether he was calm, nervous, or afraid.
When the situation in the Federation was at its most chaotic and critical, the axis of the Federation resolutely chose to leave the Federation, not only to get himself out of the imperial city that was the safest for him, but also to choose to come to this place of death and life, looking for a way to survive that must sound like a fantasy to others.
This was the greatest adventure of the emperor's life, an adventure that put the entire country and his own life at risk.
Tie Shan accompanied Emperor Shenxuan to hold two iron pillars nailed to the reef on the shore, and stood motionless for two hours.
As the minutes ticked by, there was still no movement on the other side of the sea, and he knew that it would not be two hours to complete all the repairs, but the general's mood could no longer remain calm, and he looked back in the direction they had come.
That is the land of the human world, and for them, it is also the direction in which the pursuing army will come.
Iron Mountain quietly retreated, walked through the camp forest, and walked towards the several members of the Federation War Weapons Group who were calculating in the camp.
"I've seen General Iron Mountain. β
Seeing that it was the general with the highest rank and prestige approaching, several mechanics of the battle armor group hurriedly got up.
"How long will it take?"
Concise.
The leader of the Taidou Realm mechanic is named Li Mingming, a fat-headed and big-eared guy, and his left eye accidentally fell when he was naughty when he played with the hoop as a child, and was pierced through the eye by the metal rod used to roll the hoop, and he was disabled. When he grew up, he installed a weapon eye for himself, and his dark blue eyes could radiate lasers that could shoot thousands of meters, so others nicknamed him "Iron One-Eye".
The gods close a door to you, often opening a window, and although only one eye can see, the one that is left of him can see very clearly, the most complex area in the densest core parts of the weapon, and no fraction of the slightest difference in the parts can escape his lonely right eye.
"According to the information fed back from there, there are still about 700 warships, including 30 of the 2,000-man class, more than 500 of the 500-man class, and more than 100 frigates that can only accommodate twenty or thirty people, and more than 500 assault boats, which are not counted in the number of warships. As for maintenance, because it has been abandoned for a while, the current inspection rate is about 70%, and the mechanics are very familiar with the maintenance process of the warships in these fields, and if it is an ordinary person who is sent ashore, it should take three months, but because they are members of the Royal Weapons Group, the time will be shortened to three days. β
Tie Shan didn't show a satisfied look, but said coldly: "One day." β
Li Zhizhi suddenly looked up.
According to the original calculations of the mechanics of the Royal Armament Group, the restoration work would take seven days to complete, and with such a huge amount of work, no group of people in this world could pat their chests and guarantee that they could complete it in seven days. Knowing that the situation was urgent, although they didn't understand the specific content of His Majesty's plan, they also knew that His Majesty was racing against time, so they strengthened the work intensity of every link, and expected to repair these 100 warships in three days, but they didn't expect that three days for General Tieshan was too long.
"General, I'm afraid this will be difficult to do. Li Mingming was entangled for a moment, but still said apologetically.
"His Majesty ordered the construction of warships on the Gangxiang Islands, because it was outside the wall, and it cost tens of billions to succeed, and last year because of the beast tide here, the workers and soldiers on the islands had to retreat, and half of them died on the way to retreat. β
Tie Shan lowered his eyes slightly, his voice was as cold as iron, and under the scorching winter sun, several mechanics experienced the true taste of winter.
"After sacrificing so much financial resources and manpower, this time it is a large army leaving the country, and to implement a plan that can affect the future of this federation and even the human world, then every link in this trip must be worthy of the sacrifice of the federation for so many years, and also worthy of the future of the federation. β
"It's hard to do shouldn't be your answer, you're in this position, there's only one thing you have to do, and that's to carry out my orders. β
After saying this, Tie Shan turned and left, leaving behind a thick and wide back, rampage against the shore where the salty sea breeze was raging.
Several of the leaders of the Royal Armory Group looked at each other, and finally bowed down in the direction where Iron Mountain had left.
"Obedience. β
......
......
The sparkling sea and the blue sea of soldiers dazzled people, and after repeatedly looking at the lines at the end of the coastline, they still didn't see what secrets were buried in the place where Emperor Shenxuan was looking.
Butterfly and Hanxu silently stepped back, making sure they completely disappeared from the view of the soldiers below. There are countless strong people in the federal army, and fortunately they are far away from each other, otherwise even if they are not detected by the powerhouses of various factions, they will be discovered by the soldiers on duty. Not long after they retreated, one unmanned reconnaissance plane after another was like a big bird, walking towards the sky.
The two of them hid underneath the two boulders to make sure their figures were not exposed to the drone's cameras, "What now?" Butterfly asked frankly.
Han continued to be silent, crouched down, picked up a dark yellow grass stalk, and drew in circles on the dirt floor. The butterfly thought he was deducing something, but after a long time of careful observation, he found that he was drawing some unruly lines that could not express any meaning.
"And the kung fu painting, what about you, what should I do?" the butterfly frowned slightly.
"Just wait and see. Han Xu patted the back of his neck with his hand, a little helpless, "Now it is completely certain that Emperor Shenxuan's destination is Gangxiang City, and he wants to take the soul, but where the soul is going, I can't figure it out, so I can only wait and see." β
"The Dementor should choose a powerful monster, right?" Butterfly asked.
Han continued to bow his head and said: "Well, it should be a powerful monster, otherwise there is no need to personally take so many people out of the country, you just saw those vehicles covered with green military cloth, which should be equipped with some large weapons to deal with huge monsters." β
"I look like they're going to sea. The butterfly has an obvious answer.
"It's to go to sea, otherwise there's no need to come to the port. β
Han continued to stick the stalk on the ground haphazardly.
"When I knew that Emperor Shenxuan was going to come to Gangxiang City, I guessed that they were very likely to go to sea, but I haven't figured out why they want to go to sea until now.
The most powerful six-headed monster of the year was called the Three Dragons and Three Venerable Beasts. The three dragons are the Frost Dragon, the Dream Flame Dragon, and the Cave Demon Dragon. The Cave Demon Dragon in the Three Dragons died at the hands of the two Ancestral Emperors and the human army led by them during the Cataclysm; The Frost Dragon was captured alive by Cai Yao more than ten years ago, if Cai Yao really completed the soul through the Frost Dragon, and the news that the Frost Dragon died in the Soul Destroyer came true, then now there is only one Dream Flame Flowing Dragon left in the world, and among the three beasts, only the Demon Venerable Beast remains. If he wants to dementor, he should only be able to choose these two. β
"These two monsters live on land, so he should be going to a certain land?" Butterfly asked tentatively.
"It should be. Han continued to guess, "But I always feel that this answer is unrealistic, the reason why Cai Yao was able to know the location of the frost dragon back then was because he had the right time and place, the frost dragon gave birth hundreds of kilometers away from the border of the Human Alliance, and because the frost dragon arrived several months in advance to wait for the date of delivery, it was detected by humans in advance." Although the results of that desperate expedition outside the walls were good, the sacrifices were also enormous, and the luck component accounted for a large proportion of them, which was even as high as ninety-nine percent, otherwise the frost dragon would still be flying in the world outside the walls. β
"What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that human beings really know very little about monsters, and no one knows where the Dream Flame Dragons live and what their habits are. β
"He is the emperor, the story of the two ancestral emperors who went out of the wall to defeat the beast emperor back then will definitely be passed down to his descendants, others don't know, shouldn't it be normal for Emperor Shenxuan to know?" Butterfly said as a matter of course.
"Normal?" Han Xu frowned, "It's not unreasonable for you to say this, but I always feel weird, first of all, why do you want to hide it, and secondly, why do you only tell your own descendants, tell all mankind that when there are strong people like Nangong Bat in the world, they can attack and build peace for mankind." β
Butterfly thought for a moment, raised one eyebrow, and speculated: "Could it be that the two ancestral emperors are trying to maintain their rule? If the human crisis is resolved, their human alliance will gradually disintegrate, and they will not be able to rule us for thousands of generations......
"It's also possible. Han Xu agreed with this blasphemous answer, "But I don't think that the two ancestral emperors are such people, such great figures as them, who made contributions far beyond people's imagination back then, and this kind of clichΓ© reversal in TV movies is unlikely to happen to them." β
"Well," said Butterfly, "I have another question, since he is going to sea, he needs a boat? β
"They should be waiting for the boat. Han continued to speculate, "The Federation is completely curled up inland, there is no naval force at all, there are submarines, and they have used it when they besieged and killed Nangong bats, and they almost killed Lin Xuejian, but the number should be very small, and there are prosperous cities around the river, and the main purpose should also be to prepare for the war on the river." The Federation should simply not have the number of warships capable of holding 200,000 people, so I can't figure out where the battleships came from. β
Who would have thought that Emperor Shenxuan had begun to secretly build hundreds of warships in this forbidden land of mankind many years ago? No matter how Han continued to overestimate Emperor Shenxuan, he couldn't imagine that he had been planning how to deal with his many enemies at the same time so many years ago and realize his grand plan.
"There are so many things I don't understand. The butterfly shook her head vigorously, no longer thinking about the fact that countless people who had wanted to break their heads for hundreds of years could not communicate with each other and the situation laid out in the heart of this man who wanted to be the emperor of the ages.
After a moment of silence, he let out a long breath, stood up, and looked back at the sky in the shadows of the trees.
Having seen the world outside the circle of survival with his own eyes, and thinking that the invincible dragons and venerable beasts in the past may now be existences that humans can break one by one, Han Xu does not feel like he feels the greatness of human beings, but feels that Xu Zongbin's three theorems of monsters are not wrong.
If the monsters were as united and cohesive as they were during the Cataclysm, how could a human being, who was far inferior in strength in several vehicles and individually, have the ability to capture the Frost Dragon alive, and even try to capture another one alive now?
Thinking of Xu Zongbin's inconclusive research, as well as the actions of Emperor Shenxuan that he can't figure out now, as well as his own without the Broken Yuan Card and the Kawu Dao Xuanka, Han Xu couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, the complexity of the matter now, and the huge amount of information that he needs to deal with, have exceeded the limit of what he can think and judge together.
And the confusing situation and the confusing truth made Han Xu's eyes squint as if he was looking directly at the sun, and in the eyes of the two slits, yes, his wisdom could not see through the fog.
"We can only wait, wait for Emperor Shenxuan's next move. β
"I hope that the army of the goddess can come over sooner and stop the Emperor Xuandi here, which is much simpler than stopping him after he goes to the sea. β
After saying that, Han Xu got up and walked towards the rear. Butterfly asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Han continued to look back, staring solemnly at the thorny pavement, while looking for some safe and hidden area, as well as wood for him to cut down, and said, "Keep a safe distance, and then I need to make a small boat." β
......
......
Hansu made a small boat seven or eight meters long and two meters wide in the middle of a closed gorge formed by the two peaks of the mountain. Butterflies are seriously skeptical about whether such a small boat can sail long distances on the sea, but now they are obviously picky about time and capital, so they can only settle.
After spending two days and two nights here, Hanxu's brows furrowed even deeper.
"What's wrong?" waking up in the early morning and seeing Han Xu standing at the mouth of the valley looking at the sky, the butterfly curiously walked behind him and looked up.
"Nothing, what are you looking at? β
Han continued to hang his head, and after making sure that there were no drones around, he walked to the mouth of the canyon with the butterfly.
"Nothing. Han Xu's face was so heavy that he could drip water, but he still just shook his head.
The number and density of monsters are not small, according to the previous data, there are at least a few in one square kilometer, but in the past two days, they have not encountered any monsters along the way, and they can't even see the shadow of monsters in the past few days, although they know that this must have a deterrent effect with the strong aura of Emperor Shenxuan's army, but this deterrent effect is too thorough.
Hopefully, it's just that I'm thinking too much. Han continued to muse.
Just as he thought of this, there was a cheer from the direction of the sea, which was quickly suppressed again.
Han Xu and the butterfly glanced at each other, and cautiously hurried towards the cliff.
