Eight hundred and thirty The drums of war before the storm and Flodo's struggle

To the west of the Emerald City, the capital of the Redstone King, what was originally a gravel wasteland is now the largest military base of the Dawning Empire.

The upper part of the base is surrounded by huge stone pillars like peaks and forests, and this is the floating fleet base. Floating ships are rising and falling, both slender and white warships, as well as stubby, clumsy merchant ships in various colors.

The plain beneath the Pillar Peak Forest is surrounded by a magical stone wall, and the warehouse-like buildings are scattered in between, and the flow of people and vehicles is intertwined, making it seem to be extremely busy.

It was the height of summer in July, and the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the air was floating and steaming, making this military city look like an illusory mirage.

Somewhere in a corner of the base, twenty or so magic chariots were parked together. The gun with a long barrel is a nine-rate magic guide gun carriage, the barrel is thick and short is a catapult gun truck, and the turret is a round metal ball, which is a ray cannon, and the one with only a multi-machine gun should be a personnel carrier.

All vehicles have the same insignia, which should be an independent magic tank brigade that is less than the official brigade but larger than the squadron.

The steel and bronze hull of the chariot shimmered in gold and silver in the sunlight, and halfling pits in blue suspender overalls were busy up and down the chariot.

Flodeau cowered in the shadows beneath the chariot, and an old maintenance man greeted him warmly: "Sir, cold red ale!"

"Obi, thank you. ”

Flodo took the glass wine bottle, half his body high, and the cold sensation seeped from his palm into his body, and then diffused into his heart, causing him to let out a greasy sigh.

He used the Shadow Hand to uncover the bottle out of thin air, took a big sip, wiped his mouth, and said, "Is the base even equipped with a refrigerator?"

During the time that Fei Gong had stayed, he had seen all kinds of magic guides that made life more convenient and comfortable.

Floating skateboards, motorcycles, magic cars, magic stoves, magic or magic lights, ovens, refrigerators, thermostatic fans, these are the most common. At that time, although it had not yet entered the homes of civilians, it was already very popular in public places such as the military and political departments and service centers of the Septuagin.

It seems that a similar magic guide is spreading widely in Finn, and it is being used in the military camp on his side.

The old halfling named Obi is a maintenance technician at the base, and in the field of pure mechanical construction, the halfling's ability is actually inferior to that of goblins, but many halflings like to tinker with the magic circuit that connects the magic circle, which gives them a skill in the reviving magic industry.

The old halfling held up the wine bottle and said, "It was deliberately installed by His Royal Highness Ruimako, and His Royal Highness the Prince is a very good person!"

Frodo raised the bottle and touched it, and said in his heart that Remaco was not only a good person, but also a good boss and very considerate of his subordinates.

But no matter how sympathetic you are, it's also for everyone to win......

The thought of being about to fight the source of this change made Flodo's heart, which had just been soothed by the cold beer, burn again.

"Sir, you seem to be worried about something. ”

The old halfling man is very good at observing words and feelings: "It seems that you are used to thinking about things from a bad point of view, you are a good sir, and your men are really lucky." ”

Patting Flodo on the shoulder, Obi said, "But don't show it too obviously, it will affect the morale of the guys." Fei Gong's group of evil god believers, even if they are a little clever, how can they be the opponents of Her Majesty the Goddess?"

Obi drew forward with the wine bottle, enclosing most of the base: "Look at this barracks, it's really an unimaginable sight! His Highness Rimako has gathered twenty legions, each legion has four or five thousand people, twice the number of the previous kind of legions!"

"Weapons are even more terrifying, this Sir knows better than I do. Civilian soldiers use dwarven muskets, transcendents use magic guns, and elite units are replaced with automatic magic guns. Sir your brigade, each vehicle is a sophisticated and powerful war puppet. With such an army, it can completely sweep away purgatory and abyss, right?"

The old halfling's tone was extremely warm, and even with a strong sense of pride: "Not to mention the floating ship over there, in the past, a floating ship like that, even if it is a kingdom, will definitely bow its head!"

Flodo laughed alongside, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Is that powerful?

In the battle of the Bled Kingdom ten days ago, such troops could only watch from the periphery!

The pride of the old halfling was also a source of embarrassment, and what the Imperial Propaganda Department had done during this time was undoubtedly successful. As a first-hand witness to the scene, even if you don't know every detail of the ancestor incident, you can also know the general ins and outs.

Whether it is Marshal Sylvie, who has become a heroic spirit, or Theresia, the goddess and empress, the role played in the Patriarch Incident......

Flodo's eyes closed in pain, and out of love for Theresia, he did not want to admit that the Empress was actually on the side of evil, but Fe was indeed on the side of justice.

"So, that evil god, Lady Crimson and her followers, and those Brads, get as far as you want!

The old halfling shouted and raised the bottle again, and Flordo raised it with a wry smile, and after another sip of cold beer, the coolness in his heart was not so pleasant.

Near the maintenance yard was a warehouse-like building, the camp of his troops, and the solemn voice of the announcer of the Dawning News Agency came from inside.

"The Imperial Ministry of Magic has confirmed that the vibration that occurred in Valentine yesterday was caused by the impact of the barrier of the main plane, and the specific reason should be related to Fei Gong's continued widening of the passage between the main plane and the inner plane. ”

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister said that the relevant developments have always been under the control of His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Government, and that the people of the Empire, as well as all the people of the Lord of Finn's plane, who yearn for a peaceful and beautiful order, need not worry. The Fei Gong did not have a chance to put demons and demons into the main plane, and His Majesty the God Emperor and the Imperial Legion would fight to the end to defend the people and the world. ”

"The Prime Minister's Office today revealed more details of Bled's withdrawal plan, according to the previous Bradite Law issued by His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that the Bled Kingdom will be abolished, and the territory of the kingdom will become a Viceroyalty directly under the Empire. All the Brads who trace their ancient bloodlines and abandon their current forms as mortals will be treated the same as the undead, demons, and demons. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Legendary Wizard Erd Hiroros, personal advisor to His Majesty the Emperor, has previously accepted the Emperor's appointment as Governor of Bled. The legion, led by Prince Phillips of the Kingdom of Kandas, is on its way to Bled to purge the remnants of the ancient bloodbath. At least twenty legions will be stationed in Bled in the future, ensuring that the Ancient Blood Plague does not spread to the entire main plane. ”

"Grand Mentor Medi, Minister of Imperial Magic, resigned from his position as Minister of Magic today, leaving only his position as Magical Advisor to His Majesty the Emperor. He issued a notice saying that in view of the increasing frequency and severity of the disasters of the Epoch, he needed to focus on the study of magic to help His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire better defend the world and its people. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has announced the merger of the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Magical Affairs into the new Ministry of Magic, appointing the legendary magicians Gordon, Simberner, and Mosmut as acting ministers to oversee the three fields of magical education, magical engineering, and magical industry, respectively. ”

Most of Flordo's men huddled inside to watch the news, and Obi's eyes lit up when he heard it outside. Flodo sighed secretly, the imperial subjects like Obi, the judgment of the Yuan Ancestor incident and the Fei Gong, all the news came from the Dawning News Agency.

The day after the Ancestor Incident, the Empire comprehensively strengthened the management of the United Communications Network and the Illusion Spread.

Later that day, hundreds of people were executed in public in various kingdoms and viceroyalties for spreading visions of Sylvie's crucifixion on the United Communications Network and the Trade Winds Network for the first time, on charges of helping the devil shake the faith of mortals and lure souls.

After another two or three days, ten times that number of people were arrested for collecting and secretly spreading illusions with recording chips. A small number of them were executed, most of them unaccounted for, presumably to be taken to the Crystal and Magic Metal Mines for hard labor.

By now, in the larger towns of the empire, people were afraid to talk about the Sylvie crucifixion in public.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, people who are keen to spread and talk about that scene are inherently evil, and they deserve it.

In order to prevent the goddess of revenge from returning through the ancestor, Marshal Sylvie tried his best to stop the Bleders, but he didn't expect that Cardinal Rich, who was originally good friends with the empress, colluded with the Bleders to kill Marshal Sylvie, and also tried to transform the ancestor into the war golem of the Fei Gong.

The description of the Yuanzu incident and the Fei Gong by the Propaganda Department of the empire has to be said to be conclusive and ironclad.

Didn't Fei Gong just like to build this kind of strange, huge and terrifying weapon? The mobile fortress they had preached all over the world before was the best proof of this, they must have wanted to build the ancestor into a living fortress, and then they would be invincible in the main plane.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to collude with demons and demons to release the breath of purgatory on the main plane, and the signs of pollution left on the battlefield are still there today. That land is no longer cultivable, and even if a living person comes close, his soul and life force will be drained by the breath of purgatory.

Their plot almost succeeded, but fortunately, His Majesty the God-Emperor Theresia finally understood all this after the murder of Marshal Sylvie, and used the Divine Punishment Forbidden Spell to disable the Patriarch. Then the Fei Gong and the Bled people were not reconciled, and they dispatched a huge and strange "terrifying" demonic beast that should not have appeared on the main plane at all, but they still found nothing.

His Majesty was extremely ashamed of her mistake and deeply saddened by the murder of Marshal Sylvie, and she ruled that the Ferrebutians and Brad were enemies of mortal order, and resolved to expel them from the main plane.

The illusion of God-Emperor Theresia's speech, coupled with various authentic records that had been confirmed by the Rowanna Vision Wizard Alliance that had not been modified, convinced the subjects of the Empire that this was a disaster caused by the Fei Gong and the Brads.

The subjects were also shocked and angry that Theresia was deceived by Richie, and the general public, led by Zold, criticized themselves who had been deceived by Richie and the Ferflue in the past through the Internet, and at the same time expressed their firm support for His Majesty the Emperor to expel the evil and defend the righteous and sacred war of the order.

Later, when the Imperial War Department announced the formation of more legions, according to the Dawning News Agency, the total number of applicants in various regions of the Empire exceeded 10 million.

Flodo looked at Obi, an old halfling who listened to the news, and knew that there was no need for the Imperial Propaganda Department to lie in this matter, and Obi was a living example.

"I didn't say when or how to fight......

After listening to it for a long time, he never heard any news related to this, and Obi was a little frustrated.

Flodeau still couldn't help asking, "Do you want us to fight with Fei Gong so much?"

A small head hung upside down from the chariot, and said in a righteous manner: "Shouldn't they be beaten? They killed Marshal Sylvie, they colluded with demons and devils, and they want to rule the world with their ancestors!"

Flodo said angrily: "As far as you talk a lot, has my bench been cleaned?"

This is his little squire, since he is a knight and a captain, of course he has to have someone around to serve him.

The number of squadron captains' attendants in other units could even be counted in squads, and Flordo didn't like that, and with Sam's benchmark, not many people could meet that standard.

Obi laughed and said: "Actually, what the news agency said, I know that many of them should not be true......"

The old halfling said leisurely: "Who knows if Fei Gong did those things?"

"Maybe Her Majesty the Empress had a quarrel with that Richie, and treated us as if they were smashing to dissipate their anger when they were angry. When the thing was almost smashed, they deflated, and then reconciled again. No way, mortals, this is the fate of ancient times. ”

"But Lady Crimson and her church are very strange, and I've heard a lot of rumors about them. To say that they don't want not only kings, but also gods, contradicts themselves, like madmen. ”

"They are all the way to the Ismat followers who ran to Bled, and they want to defeat the nobles. It is said that it is to emancipate slaves and make mortals free, but it is said that in their territory, mortals live the most unfree life. ”

The old halfling shook his head: "I heard that there is not even a brothel there, and you have to take care of drinking." I don't want that kind of freedom, I'm certainly not on the same path as them. Her Majesty wants to beat them, and of course I agree. ”

Obi's tone became enthusiastic again: "Actually, this is all nonsense! If you don't beat me, where will you get the job? If you don't fight, when will you earn the title of baron and really become a nobleman? Ask your little squire, doesn't he want to be a knight, don't he want to earn a lot of meritorious deeds in exchange for gold coins, and live a life like a nobleman?"

Obi poured the rest of the wine into his stomach in one gulp, ha-ah spit out the wine, and said with a smile: "The war in which the empress overthrew the fragrance was too fast! Too many people heard the news and ran out of their hometowns, wanting to earn titles and money in the war, but they didn't expect that the war was over. ”

"Now that there is such an opportunity, who doesn't want to fight? Who doesn't want to fight as soon as possible?"

Flordo opened his mouth to say something, listened to the rousing tune of the squire wiping his seat in the chariot, and looked at the longing on the old halfling's face, and he closed his mouth again.

"Sir, coat your chariot with the Kerter camouflage color!"

"Eagle stripes, tiger stripes and even dragon stripes can be chosen!"

A loud and high-pitched voice sounded, and it was actually two goblins. One drove a floating trailer, and the other held a flag on the carriage with a ...... painted on it. File.

"Painting a vehicle with this camouflage color reduces the chance of being spotted by the enemy by 70%, and even if it is discovered, the chance of being targeted by the enemy will be reduced by 50%, and the locking time of the locking spell will be increased by 1.5 times!"

"Such a magical camouflage color, only two gold bushels or thirty gold redstone coins! Think about it, you have a car crew of five people, and each of you can save a life by spending six gold redstone coins!"

The two goblins shouted excitedly, and Flordo waved his hand irritably: "Don't, go ......"

These goblins sell them all sorts of things all day long, and listen to them blow up the suspense, all of which are fools.

When Flodo first arrived ten days ago, he was fooled into buying a set of "car spirit sensors".

When it was demonstrated, it was very magical, and everything in the sky, surface, and underground could be seen clearly within a few hundred meters. When I actually used it, I realized that it was just a mirage. As soon as the chariot moved its position, nothing could be seen. The goblins actually used the expensive Feigong smuggled version of the Lingzi sensor to scan the Lingzi map of the original location of the chariot.

If it weren't for the fact that the goblins could no longer be found, and the business cards and online logos left behind were all fake, Frodo really wanted to take the whole team to smash their nest.

In those days, everyone was deceived very badly, and it is said that Prince Rimako planted them, and in a fit of rage, he expelled these goblin merchants. Unexpectedly, these goblins bribed the base guards again and sneaked in to sell.

No...... Look at the hunting file flag, what a sneak!

The goblins are still yelling......

"You don't buy it, others do, think about what the consequences are?"

"On the battlefield, I'm not afraid that I can't outrun the enemy, I'm afraid that I can't outrun my teammates!"

The old halfling seemed to know the two goblins, and greeted with a smile: "Mohamuna, Dali Daqi, you are going to act, otherwise you will not run to make money before you are even ready for the project." ”

Flodo rubbed his chin, the two names...... Seems familiar?

The two goblins smirked, showing off their intelligence.

"Of course, our boss has already taken over the task of transporting supplies in a floating ship, and everything is clear!"

"Prince Rimacko will take you to the kingdom of Koster first, the current kingdom of Koster, and you can stay here for a day at most. ”

It has to be said that the goods sold by goblins are all pits, but their news is more valuable than the goods.

Flodo's heart was shocked, and he was finally going to fight......
