Chapter 555: Messy
Sounds called Sonya?? The message brought by Frostleaf's elven messenger made Duchess Victoria's face become more and more gloomy.
That's certainly not good news.
Especially at this juncture.
"We know Ansu is in the middle of a ...... Chaos, you have a lot of problems that need to be solved urgently," said the messenger named Sonia bluntly, the short-haired elf looked young and delicate, but she was most likely an "elder" who had witnessed the rise and fall of human nations for centuries, and she indifferently commented on this civil war in Ansu, but everyone in the scene could not refute, "The Silver Empire has no right to meddle in any internal problems of human nations, but we are now facing a crisis that has gone beyond the concept of a nation - in the face of this crisis, The survival of civilization as a whole should come first. ”
"Of course we understand this," nodded Archduke Bardwin on the side, "the Great Wall is there, and each of us can see that it is not in a normal state - but this civil war is not for our side to decide. ”
"That's what you're going to figure out on your own," Sonya?? Frost Leaf said helplessly, "On issues other than internal affairs, the Silver Empire will do its best to provide support to friends, technical data, and technical personnel, we will all send them, but Ansu's internal problems ...... It can only be relied on by the Ansu people themselves. ”
Bai Dewen?? Franklin and Victoria?? Wilde looked at each other deeply.
From each other's eyes, they both saw the same deep helplessness and exhaustion.
Don't they know about this crisis? Didn't the nobles of Ansu know about this crisis? Know, of course I knew, and I knew it for a long time - maybe even before the elves.
Gawain?? How many times did Archduke Cecil warn? Every nobleman who goes in and out of Silver Castle all day knows this. The founding hero who came back from the dead had been warning people to face up to the threat of the Gondor wasteland from the day his coffin was uncovered, but every warning he gave was ignored, misinterpreted, and even resisted and slandered with conspiracy theories, and the nobles of the royal capital said that it was "out-of-control anxiety", an "excuse for reckless militarism", and even said that the ancient hero was immersed in the battlefield seven hundred years ago, and was stimulated by the monsters of the dark mountains to hallucinate - but even so, until last month, Gawain?? Duke Cecil's warning message was sent to the Silver Castle.
The nobles of the royal capital pretended to discuss the warning letter for half a month, and they still haven't finished discussing it.
The Duchess of the North couldn't help but glance at the Prince of Wales sitting on the throne, where the Crown Prince sat expressionlessly, but there was a hint of mockery in the depths of his calm eyes.
"We'll do everything we can to communicate with the East – for Ansu...... For the sake of humanity, the royal family will do their best," Victoria said calmly, "but the matter is very complicated...... We need a little bit of time. ”
"Then as soon as possible, Duchess Wild," Sonya?? Frostleaf nodded slightly, "We will also do our best to assist - if necessary, we can come forward to contact the Eastern Realm, and in the chaos of Ansu, at least the elves' position is neutral." ”
……
Cecil City, inside the Lord's Palace.
Before Gawain could continue investigating the dragon's secret connection to the Mithril Treasury when Amber sent another piece of intriguing information.
"According to the report of the agents sent to the plains of the Holy Spirit, the Elven eagle has been found in the northern region - heading for the city of St. Sunil."
Gawain put down the plan he was holding—a detailed report on the construction of the South Gate fortress south of the Fort of Disobedience—and he looked up at Amber, "When did that happen?" ”
"What I witnessed three days ago - the operator delivered the letter to the Rock Fortress as quickly as possible, and then sent the news back with a magic web communication," Amber said with a rare glance, and only when reporting this kind of information could she be a little more serious, "at the speed of the Giant Eagle...... The Elven Courier should have been sitting in the Silver Castle by this time. ”
"Did you send someone...... Gawain said softly, "it seems that the situation of the Great Wall is really not good......
Amber finished reporting the information, and the serious and capable director of military intelligence instantly degenerated into a goose, she wandered to Gawain's desk, and muttered as she grabbed dried fruit from it and stuffed it into her mouth, "Can you guess what those elves are here for?" ”
"As I can probably guess," Gawain said, accustomed to Amber's unruly style, as he glanced at the half-elf and shook his head slightly, "and I know I'm going to have to be busy soon—and I'll have to." ”
Amber paused for a moment, looking curious: "Huh? You? Aren't you busy enough right now? ”
"The elves sent an envoy to the human kingdom at this time, and what they wanted to talk about was nothing more than the issue of the Great Wall," Gawain looked at Amber and explained casually, "The overload that lasted for three days must have caused serious damage to those Sentinel Towers, with the current situation, it should be impossible to rebuild a barrier with the Silver Empire taking the lead and all countries working together to rebuild a barrier like seven hundred years ago, so the elves should want the Human Kingdom to help repair or strengthen that barrier, if my judgment of the current situation of the Great Wall is correct, They should have sent emissaries to every human kingdom at the same time, so the problem arises...... Ansu, in the midst of a civil war. ”
Amber thought for a moment, and suddenly came to her senses: "Orthodox problem? ”
"The barrier must be repaired, even if the nobles of Ansu are dull and stupid, they will not continue to be dull on this issue, but the key is who can repair the barrier on behalf of Ansu," Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, "In the eyes of ordinary people, repairing a barrier is repairing a barrier, a project for the safety of the kingdom and the continuation of mankind, there should not be too much deep meaning in it, but in the eyes of the principals of this kingdom...... This is a vital symbol.
"At the critical juncture of the Ansu Civil War, whoever can reach an agreement with the elves, and who can go to the wasteland border to repair the Sentinel Tower, will be able to represent Ansu."
Amber is not a person who understands the "rules of nobility" very well, but after being around Gawain for so long, she can more or less understand some of the twists and turns in it, and at this time she has already reacted: "If you want to send someone to repair the magnificent wall, the civil war in Ansu must be suspended, but as long as the royal family and the eastern border continue to dispute over 'legitimacy', the civil war cannot be stopped, so if Ansu finally wants to send someone to repair the barrier, then he can only find someone who does not participate in the struggle for royal power at all and is qualified to represent the kingdom...... Then they'll have to come to you? ”
"Repairing the Great Wall is a big project, the civil war continues, no one in the royal family and the East dares to draw forces to repair the barrier, but if the barrier is not repaired, no one wants to survive, they have no choice," Gawain exhaled, "I don't have a choice either—get ready, it's not just my responsibility, maybe...... It's also an opportunity. ”
Amber blinked, looking at Gawain's expression, which seemed to be in his chest at all times, and almost forgot to continue nibbling on the dried fruit in his hand.
"Whatever happens in this world, is it an opportunity for you?"
"Not really, but the situation compels me to turn anything into an opportunity," Gawain shook his head, "to inform Philip and Byron and let them come - military preparations should be done." ”
"Call them?" Amber's eyes widened slightly, "Is it possible...... Are you going to take advantage of the emptiness of the royal family and the East? ”
"No, I'm going to do that and reap a kingdom that will be in turmoil for the next twenty years, I'm not going to do that," Gawain shook his head, "but we have to prepare for the worst—I don't believe that this civil war will really stop, and I don't believe that the South will always stay out of it." The royal family and the people of the East are smart people, trying to find opportunities in this barrier crisis...... I'm not alone. ”
Amber glanced Gawain up and down, and then the figure gradually disappeared into the air: "Tsk, I really can't play with scheming people like you." Keep planning here, and I'll call those two men." ”
Gawain watched Amber's figure fade away, then retracted his gaze, landing on a drawing on his desk.
That's a means of transportation, or rather...... A weapon.
A king of the land assembled with engines, tracks, armor, and turrets.
Although the construction of the Great Wall is imminent, Gawain knows more about the efficiency of the execution of the kingdom in this era, the so-called "imminent" is fundamentally two worlds compared to the production and construction plan of the south, according to the efficiency of those royal nobles, they will at least be involved in this matter until this summer, in such a long time, he can still do a lot of things.
"The blueprints that passed the Origin Lab test...... Let's hope it does go as smoothly as I expected. ”
Gawain whispered, reaching out and reaching for the food box in the corner of the desk.
He touched the void.
“…… Why are you still taking the box with you?! ”
……
Miss Tyr is deeply touched by the fact that Ansu's situation is a maelstrom, and that these terrifying terrestrial Homo erectus apes, though short-lived and fragile, have a talent for disrupting their own society that even the Kraken will marvel at.
On slipway No. 1 at the North Shore Shipyard, the Siren Tyr earnestly formed himself into a ball, listening to the craftsmen discuss current events in the newspaper, and thought wildly as they could.
Humans are creatures that don't have tails, but they can be "entangled" in a sense into a mess.
But none of this had much to do with the Kraken, at least until humans were able to sail the oceans, and these terrifying Homo erectus living on land had little to do with the Kraken.
What Till is most concerned about now is that the project in front of her, which has lasted since last summer, has finally come to fruition.
In front of Miss Kraken, in the dry dock next to the slipway, a beautiful new ship with a completely different shape from the traditional ships of this world is lying quietly in the huge dock, waiting for the moment to enter the water.
It was a behemoth made of steel, with an elegant, continuous curved shell and two flat and wide decks, a total of three pairs of wing-like "magic wings" neatly folded on the sides of the hull and at the rear of the upper deck, while in the forward, middle and aft positions of the lower deck, six huge sets of turrets were crouching silently on the gun mounts, and the sunlight from the gaps in the roof shone on the cold metal, glowing dizzyingly.
Two Calibrator-class iridescent generators, four large Truth railguns specially adapted for the ship's platform, and a large number of small, defensive railguns scattered throughout the hull have armed this behemoth into a formidable underwater beast.
It was a truly advanced warship designed from the ground up to combine human shipbuilding style with Siren technology – and while it was still backward in many ways in the eyes of Siren Tyr, it was already a marvel in the eyes of countless craftsmen in the shipyard.
