Chapter 718: Han Dong's Question
【Great Expedition】
The most important journey in human history is about to begin.
The specific situation, Han Dong has to learn from Mr. Black and White or the head of Hugo.
After all, this is not an immediate action that is proposed on an ad hoc basis.
Rather, after hundreds of years of precipitation, after hundreds of joint discussions with the Parliament, the Thirteen Knights, the Holy See, the royal family and other important institutions, the final battle plan was decided.
Preparations for the Great Expedition have been going on in secret.
It's just that with the return of the two core forces, this campaign plan is about to surface and become known to all Holy City.
……
As Han Dong stepped down from the exclusive carriage of the head of the Kuran regiment.
A grumbling sound came from behind him.
"Nicholas, when are we going to get to your bio lab? This kind of backward steam city is really boring...... I just want to be able to start my research project as quickly as possible. ”
It was Professor West, who Han Dong had exchanged for points - "the head is in a glass container".
By purchasing a loose backpack given by a living animal, he carried it behind Han Dong.
"No hurry...... Just returned to the city, some people need to deal with some sophistication, and we will set off in a while. ”
Han Dong immediately went to the headquarters of his knights, the [Secret Hall].
However, just as Han Dong came to the intersection to prepare for identity verification, he spit out a letter from the mailbox.
"At present, the Secret Pavilion is undergoing the in-depth decipherment of the "Alien Tablet" project, in order to avoid the turbulence of time and space in the process of decipherment, the current street and the space of the Secret Pavilion have been completely closed, and the estimated unsealing time is [seven days and nine hours]."
"The decipherment of the alien slate causes a turbulent flow of time and space...... Okay. ”
In this case, Han Dong no longer wasted time.
Immediately take a horse-drawn carriage back to the familiar Knight Academy.
Han Dong is currently the most prestigious figure in the academy in recent times, and because of his achievements in the knights' conference, the number of students enrolled in the mystery department this year has more than doubled in the past.
The focus of the Department of Mystery has also increased across the board, with more teachers, a wider Dark Moon coverage, and more project funding.
As the carriage stops in front of the familiar Tower of the Dark Moon.
The cemetery steward who had made the trip to receive Han Dong was still by his side, providing the best service he could, until Han Dong boarded the elevator leading to the [Stargazing Room].
Stargazing room.
Mr. Black and White had just mixed a glass of wine and sat down.
"Teacher!"
"Hmm...... Beyond my expectations, I didn't expect you to be involved with [Black Vortex] so quickly. ”
Mr. Black and White's focus is completely different, and it seems that this relationship of [Black Vortex] is more precious than the extra talent points.
Just when Han Dong wanted to ask deeply.
Mr. Black and White immediately raised his hand and signaled: "There is no need for you to ask me about the black vortex.
When you're ready to go to Destiny next time, head to the Clock Tower a few days in advance to look for the Clocker, who knows more about the Black Vortex than I do. ”
"Okay."
After taking a sip of his drink, Mr. Black and White cuts back to an important matter.
"What do you think of the Great Expedition?"
"This ...... I really don't know much about it, but I'm willing to participate. ”
"Well, if you want to.
I believe that Captain Hugo would also like you to go on the expedition as a representative of their Knights...... I'll talk to you directly about the early stages of the Great Expedition, and you have to set a goal and prepare for it. ”
"Okay."
Han Dong immediately focused his thoughts further, intending to write down Mr. Black and White's next speech word for word.
"Because of the return of the two Grim Reaper and Marlon,
The identity of the Great Betrayer of the Holy City revealed,
Report on the total amount of supplies in the Holy City provided by the Lord of Finance,
as well as a further increase in the total number of official knights,
The basic conditions for the Great Expedition prepared by the Council have been fully met.
The relevant pre-order regulations will be published within one month.
It also mainly involves the "selection of expeditionary forces".
It is not only a screening of the strength of individual knights, but also a screening of [functions and resistances]...... The scale of this expedition will be unprecedented.
Whether it is the total itinerary, the number of battles, the time it takes, and the intensity of the objectives that need to be confronted, it is far more than the previous expeditions.
Without the shelter of the Holy City,
There is no safe place to live,
We need to move forward in a polluted world with no light at the end of our time.
It is necessary to ensure that every knight of the expeditionary force has a strong enough faith and spirit to withstand all this...... The concept of ten demons versus one demon is absolutely different.
The selection of expeditionary forces is not determined by a certain game.
Rather, it will be determined secretly based on the knight's personal experience, as well as the results of dealing with special events.
You should know what I mean.
Personally, I suggest that you can pass the screening of the expeditionary force from the following 'three channels'.
First, as a knight of the Knights of the Secret Language, you participate in the decipherment of the alien tablet.
Second, with the identity of the night watchman, complete some special tasks during this time.
Third, the laboratory of the gold owner.
Of course, you can try all three of the above channels, and it will be very helpful for you. ”
"Thank you, teacher, for your advice...... Teacher, will you go on the expedition? Han Dong asked a question that many of the Holy City's leaders were not sure about.
"No, it won't."
Mr. Black and White's answer was unusually firm and without the slightest doubt.
It seems that Black and White has seen something in advance, or that Mr. Black and White's positioning is too special for the Holy City.
"The Holy City needs my caretakers, and the worst has been averted."
"Worst-case scenario......
For a while, a terrifying picture appeared in Han Dong's mind that all the expeditionary forces had fallen and the holy city had been breached.
At this moment, a smile appeared on the black mask, "Don't worry, the [Great Expedition] was launched precisely because we were fully prepared...... The real preparation time has been more than 100 years. ”
"Well, there are too many complex problems that need to be solved in advance, and I can't do that."
Han Dong estimated that the [Great Expedition] might take more than ten years.
The expedition will completely break the inherent way of life that humans have become accustomed to.
How to solve the problem of long-term pollution? How to solve the problem of power energy supply and food supply? How has the region changed beyond the frontier of exploration? How to deal with emergencies at the level of the old king?
Too many problems need to be thought about in advance and at least two or more solutions given.
However, there is no need for Han Dong to think about this.
The reason why Han Dong planned to participate in the Great Expedition was that in addition to his dedication to the cause of human freedom as a formal knight, he also had a certain amount of selfishness.
In addition, Han Dong is most concerned about only one issue.
"Teacher, what is the ultimate purpose of this [Great Expedition] initiated by the Holy City?"
The answer Han Dong gave in advance in his mind was 'recover the territory that should belong to mankind', 'establish a fourth main city, etc.'.
However, Mr. Black and White clasped his hands on his chin and whispered:
"Kill the Old King......
