"The situation is not very optimistic......"

In the forward base of the Forgotten Forest, Kiri said to Trizt, "Be prepared for a long struggle. ”

This is the third day after destroying Earl Sunset's Tree Castle, and after Kiri has gathered all forces and lit the flames of revolution in the Forgotten Forest, she has to return to the Red Federation, and many things, including Timmy, are waiting for her to deal with personally.

Trizt volunteered to stay and served as the director of the integrated department of the "Red Union Forgotten Forest Liberated Area" and the general political commissar of the "Red Union Forgotten Forest Revolutionary Army", and continued to lead the half-elf armed revolutionary cause.

Trizt nodded solemnly: "I understand......"

This judgment was made based on the forces of the Forgotten Forest in the past three days, as well as the movements of the Dawning Empire.

The first thing the Empire has adopted is a policy of isolation, mobilizing a dozen local legions on all sides of Redstone, Sachiton, Tangus, and Norton, and are stationed in the transportation arteries around the Forgotten Forest, controlling the internal and external communication of the Forgotten Forest.

The second is to vigorously support the half-elf nobles, another count including Morning Song, the half-elf nobles have learned to concentrate the population, borrowing terrain shrinkage defenses such as underground mines that can weaken the air power of the Red Alliance.

The Red Federation also did not have a thorough grasp of the information of the new nobles of the half-elves, ignoring the direct contact between the pseudo-empress and them through the family coat of arms, which made it difficult for the new nobles to shake their loyalty to the pseudo-empress and the Dawning Empire.

More importantly, the communication network attached to the territory of the half-elf nobility has caused the empire to always control the right to speak in public opinion, and through the exaggeration of the Red Alliance's looting of wealth, the public opinion machine of the Imperial Propaganda Department has succeeded in making most of the half-elves think that the Red Union is here for the resources of the Forgotten Forest.

What's worse is that this time the Imperial Propaganda Department is really right, Qi Li has just taken away the last guardian ancient tree in the Forgotten Forest......

This series of actions of the Dawning Empire did curb the Red Alliance's infiltration of the Forgotten Forest, but if the Red Alliance was determined enough to dispatch a campaign-level military force, it would not have much impact.

The problem is that the Red Union is really unable to launch a large-scale campaign at this time.

The air force and the horned whale unit can barely maintain half the sortie rate, and the assault force and support force are carefully selected, and there is not much problem, and it is not difficult to conduct small-scale and short-term assault operations.

However, when the scale of the war expands and military operations are frequent and intensive, not only strict requirements are placed on the combat troops, but also logistics, support, and information control and other links must keep up.

A military operation on the scale of a campaign must involve at least tens of thousands of Crimson Transcendentals, and all kinds of key technical equipment are also related to Crimson Divine Power. In the situation of "the divine power of fate is normal today and tomorrow", the action will obviously be full of great uncertainty, and it will be pervasive in every link.

As a simple example, the Fishbone Missile relies on the Divine Power of Fate to recharge, and when attacking the fortress prison, Vicky must sit on the Crimson Throne to keep the charging efficiency of the weapon officer at 80% of the original standard. Once Vicky leaves the Throne, the efficiency drops to fifty percent.

If Vicky stays in the Crimson Constellation, then most of the Pain-based Divine Power Equipment will drop to forty percent of the standard.

Commanding such a force whose combat ability changes as a function curve, and even close to Brownian motion, fights for a long time, even believers in the god of war must go crazy.

If the Dawning Empire is still one step behind the Red Union in military technology as before...... No, two eras, then these problems can be made do with pinching your nose and ignoring them.

But the new situation of yesterday's air battle made Qili and the Central Committee of the Fei Communist Party vigilant......

Yesterday, a four-plane formation of male sharks cruised to the airspace on the border between Valentine and Sachiton, showing the presence of the Red Alliance, echoing Romulos's upcoming Bled offensive.

The formation was intercepted by the Sachiton Local Legion Flying Force, and the performance of several of the new flying boats caught the male sharks off guard.

The boats also surpassed the speed of sound, and the Fishbone missiles could not inflict devastating damage on them. The two male sharks also shortened the distance between them and each other to within four kilometers due to carelessness, and the nose of the aircraft was burned by the opponent's ray weapons.

Although the other party quickly withdrew, the Red Union did not dare to let the male shark continue to take risks, so they quickly withdrew back and analyzed this new opponent through the channels of on-site camera analysis and the Intelligence Bureau.

Through the dark web intelligence channels of Prell City, the intelligence bureau quickly got the news. These ships were experimental models ordered by the Kingdom of Sachiton from Ted's Flying Boat Workshop, apparently using Hathaway's latest discovery of magic particle technology.

Considering that the magician families such as Simbona and Mosmut have already exchanged interests with Hathaway regarding magic particle technology, these technologies should soon appear in the flying units directly under the Dawning Empire.

There are also people who believe that the contradiction between the goddess of order and the magician and the goddess of commerce has not been resolved, and it is impossible to compromise with the latter, and they are very reluctant to new technologies, especially the magic technology that obviously bears the traces of the magic empire, and it is impossible to accept such drastic changes.

But early this morning, the Intelligence Bureau received the news that the Remako Regiment in the direction of Koster had begun to prepare for evacuation, which gave the Fei Gong a new understanding of the determination of the Goddess of Order.

At that time, Qili said at the provisional Central Committee: "Although the mortal Theresia has unrealistic ideals, she still has a strong pragmatist mind, as long as she can solve the problem, she will not use the so-called principles to reject new technologies, nor will she be stuck in the gains and losses of one city and one place." ”

The goddess Theresia inherited this trait, not pragmatism, of course, but her belief that if she was victorious, everything would be restored because she was a deity. ”

Qili's words made everyone unify their understanding and have a new judgment on the current situation.

The revolution in the forgotten forests must be planned for the long term, and cannot be expected to be solved by a few actions.

"I understand, Your Highness ......"

Trizt repeated, showing his determination and confidence: "There are already several secret strongholds in the liberated areas, and the revolutionary army has developed thousands of members, all of whom are staunch elements sent by their families to the Red Union. Even if the situation changes and the central government can no longer provide support, we will be able to survive until the day when the situation reverses!"

"The focus is not on the military struggle, but on the ideological struggle, and we must focus on spreading revolutionary beliefs to the half-elves", Qili advised: "The central government will give full support, and when it comes to a tense moment, you can also rely on the Goblin Chamber of Commerce in Redstone." Of course, you must be careful not to expose yourself when dealing with them. ”

Triz nodded, and then bowed solemnly.

After saying goodbye to Trizter and the others, Kiri and Tina boarded the gray whale, and several other gray whales were unloading all kinds of supplies to carry the troops to be evacuated, as well as the local women, children, the elderly and weak. After that, the support was very limited, and it had to be relied on by the liberated areas and the revolutionary army themselves.

The gray whale soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds and rising to an altitude of 40,000 meters. Flying at 800 km/h at this altitude is currently the safest.

Through the porthole, you can see the curved outline of the earth and the purple-black sky, and the astral projection is flickering and blurred, but it is not the endless starry sky in the earth world, but a layer of textures provided by the main plane barrier on 20,000 kilometers.

Qi Li looked at the sky and sighed with emotion, the planet of the main plane of Fein was like an exhibit in a glass display case. When will we be able to break out of this cage and become independent in the new world after the change?

To do this, it is necessary for the mortals of the Lord's plane to work together, and the bourgeois revolution is still far away, and the stage of the religious revolution has only just passed.

Tina beside her took Qili's hand and continued to compare the blessing mark of the Guardian Ancient Tree on the back of the left hand of the two of them.

"Li Qi can't get rid of me now!"

Tina smiled sweetly and said, "I'm Qili's sister! If you dare to deduct my salary again, I'll sue Qili!"

Qili gasped as if she had a toothache and sighed, "Since it's my sister, why do you need a salary?"

Tina froze, buried her head in Qi Li's arms again, and coquettishly said, "Then Li Qi is not allowed to come out!"

The ethereal spirit that had been looking up at the starry sky and feeling that everything was boring faded, and Kiri rubbed her ears and said, "You tell Aurora and Catherine about this!"

..................

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

If you really want Qili to be Qili forever, don't you let those two married women stay alive and widowed?

So when Qili entered the Central Office Building of the Beta, which is commonly known as the central tower of the Pantheon, and transformed back into Richie, Tina covered her ears and ran away.

Then she was brought back by Li Qi, and the agreement that Li Qi was not allowed to pull his ears again was invalid, what was the matter with Li Qi that Qi Li promised?

Richie didn't just try to pluck her ears, or rush to prove something to Aurora and Catherine, but immediately set about the purification of Mi. She had already been sent to Epsilon in advance, and the previous purification of the Silk Silk and other witches had all failed.

Not only because Timmy's soul has never found the source of goodness beyond money, but also because the catalyst for Richie is not there.

Gathering all the witches, including most of the Silk, to Epsillon, everyone was surprised by Tina's changes, and Finney naturally became the most frustrated one, and she wanted to show off to Tina how long she had been guarding the Crimson Throne.

"Tina, this is the plot level, from four stars to five stars......"

Aurora comforted Finney: "You're just not there yet, be patient." ”

Li Qi was stunned, Aurora, you are bored now, what kind of gacha game are you playing?

Eve spread her hands: "Anthea's Crimson Witch game, we're all cards." ”

She looked very dissatisfied: "Why am I just a three-star card!? Just because I'm not a legend? But Vicky is not a legend, why is it also a four-star!?"

Walking in the passage of the teleportation hall, Eve glanced around the team and said suddenly, "Could it be that the star rating is related to the intimacy of the chief cardinal?"

After speaking, he pounced on Li Qi: "Chief Cardinal, help me ascend to the star!"

With a snap, her face pressed against Aurora's palm.

Aurora blushed and said, "If you talk nonsense, I'll let you reminisce about the education of love!"

Catherine hugged Richie tightly, and during this time, in addition to sitting in the Crimson Shrine, she returned to the Air Force, taking the sharks to practice their ground-licking skills. Probably this is not enough to pour out the desire to destroy the witch, and the heart that touches Li Qi is like the heartbeat transmitted by skin contact, hot and powerful.

She answered Eve's question: "Popularity, influence......"

Next to her, Vicky snorted: "When our super magic well is completed, if you don't give me five stars, it will be star fraud!

You're really ......

Li Qi couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart was full of warm joy, during the days when Xiaohong was away, everyone was okay and not depressed.

Behind her, Retana was a little uneasy, and she, a witch who was also designated as a four-star, always felt that she was a little unworthy of her name. As for the one at the back of the line, he was even more frightened.

It was a purple-haired girl, with a round face and a beautiful face, and a slanted ponytail adding a little cuteness. Of course, for her subordinates, no matter how cute she is, she can't hide her terrible inside.

Nicole Ector, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Philip, the Crimson Church, and the chief member of the Planning and Development Committee, was extremely puzzled by this.

"I'm not a witch, why did I also get a four-star?"

She flicked her slanted ponytail and muttered, "No, no, I mean, why did you want me to come over?"

When they arrived at Epsilon, in the lounge arranged on the Liberation Monument, the silks led by Tess weaved a spiritual network, and the witches and Li Qi connected one by one.

Nicole also got in, and Richie's statement was prepared, and she had to do it.

"Master——!"

Timmy, who was in a deep sleep, was slightly touched by Richie, and when he woke up, he sensed who it was, and was pleasantly surprised.

"I probably won't be able to become a Crimson Witch, don't bother Master. ”

Shrinking into a ball of self-pity, several efforts in the past few days have not been successful, she is very self-aware.

"Have you forgotten our agreement? I'm still waiting to ride you...... Ahem, I mean you turned into a silver dragon and flew with me. ”

During the soul exchange, he and Timmy's little secret was revealed, causing a cloud of white light and a red light to jump.

"Let's do it again......"

It felt like his intervention hadn't fundamentally changed the situation, and Li Qi didn't have much confidence.

At this moment, a faint red light rushed over: "It's you!

Timmy's soul also came alive: "It's you! that fallen paladin who keeps saying that money is justice!"

"Hmph! You've got it today!"

"Even if I die, I won't accept your help!"

There was a sudden chaos in the mental network, and Li Qi secretly called it self-defeating.

That red light was naturally Nicole, she and Timmy were completely enemies of life and death at the beginning, and even the number of three decimal places could make the two fight in the dark. Now that the souls of the two are in touch, a brilliant spark naturally erupts.

The reason why Richie wanted Nicole to join was because in the previous purification, the witches were defeated by Timmy's unshakable belief in money. Thinking of Nicole being the most vocal "academic authority" in money, the market, and even business, Richie felt that letting her crush Timmy's belief in money was a last resort after her own failure.

I didn't expect Nicole to join, not to be a hole card, but to lead the war.

There was a violent fluctuation between the two souls, and suddenly the witches were ejected into the mental network, and the silks still insisted on connecting the souls of the two sides in a network. They now have the help of the Witch of Fragrance, and these witches have all been given the name of "Ace" and are commonly known as "Witch Ace".

The mental network of thirty or forty silk and the same number of aces is quite tenacious, and even if even Li Qi is bounced out, the network still does not collapse.

Li Qi opened his eyes and stared blankly at the other witches, surprised again.

Tina didn't come out, but instead she seemed to be sucked into Nicole and Timmy's warband, turning the two-way battle into a three-way scuffle.

Although it was bounced out, Li Qi could still sense the general movement in the psychic network through any of Sisi and As.

Timmy, Nicole, and Tina are thinking about money...... No, the battle has risen to the level of faith.

"Money can measure the value of all things that everyone does! Money gives birth to cubs is a natural law that cannot be erased!"

"Money represents sharing! Transactions are for sharing! The market is to make everyone happy because of exchange, not to let money give birth to babies! Profit is the evil foundation of capitalism, and fraud and profit are the main culprits in the world's fall into the abyss!"

"I also think that money is used to measure value, but it is not interesting to make profits by giving birth to children with money, and the money born in that way has nothing to do with what I do, and it has no value! I also agree that money is to make people happy, and fraud and profit are bad, but trading is not just for sharing. In fact, it is the real value of money that is saved and saved, and it will bring happiness to people. ”

"You know what / You shut up!"

That's how they fight...... Academic discussions.

Wave after wave of swaying and sending, the three girls from the meaning of money, the relationship between money and mortals, and the market and business derived from money and other topics of friendship (rough) (violent) discussion (tearing) (force), to the point of using numbers and formulas to compete.

"Quick...... I can't hold on anymore......"

Tess sent a wail: "The battle between the three of them has affected our cognition, and we have also had a disagreement, and the psychic network is about to collapse!"

Remembering that he came in a hurry, he forgot one thing that had been placed first, no, a will, and Li Qi's heart moved.

He reconnected into the psychic network through Tess, and dragged the will of the ancient tree guardian of the Forgotten Forest in the face of the chaotic impact.

The gentle power pushed away, accompanied by Richie's heart, and merged into the three souls who were fighting.

"Since money exists objectively, there are bound to be both pros and cons. ”

"We should magnify its good and curb its harm. ”

"We don't know what to do, so it may take a long time, or even forever, to balance the pros and cons, but we need to remember that it has to bring happiness to mortals. ”

This is our crimson faith understanding of money, which is very vague, but we must clarify and always adhere to this starting point. ”

"We'll keep arguing until we reach the finish line, like the one between the three of you. ”

"But I believe that there must be a way to accommodate your arguments, so that you can work together for happiness, for the happiness of all. ”

The will to protect the ancient tree is also whispering: "Yes, all for ...... Happiness ......"

The three souls were silent for a moment, and then they were wrapped in the power of the guardian ancient tree and jumped.

Feeling a force separate from Timmy's soul and dipping into Nicole's soul, Richie was stunned at first, then suddenly.

Even if she gave a portion of Tina, the rest of Innocent's power was not something that Timmy could carry alone, so it was no wonder that her soul was difficult to purify by the witches.

Now, it is Timmy, Tina, and Nicole who share the inheritance of Innocents, and they also link happiness with money, haven't they become the three witches of Feigong's money?

The three souls once again erupted with violent force, but this time they no longer collided with each other, but merged together, pushing each other to form a violent vortex.

Outside the psychic network, watching Tina's body glow with golden light, Timmy's body with silver light, Nicole's body shimmered with copper-colored brilliance, and the witches looked at each other.

"I don't know what happened," Aurora said, rubbing her eyebrows, "I just know that we should have two more witches, and one more witch has one more Origin Priesthood." ”

Fei Ni shouted: "If you give birth to Fei, why give birth to ......"

Crimson Divine Seat, the girl Xiaohong, who was lying on the sofa on her side like taking a nap in the afternoon, blinked her eyelashes, made a few sounds, rolled to the other side, smacked her mouth a few times and continued to sleep......
