A military base hidden in the forest in northern Norway.

Norway has a vast area of forests, especially after the unlimited energy source, and all ordinary people gather in the city, enjoying the convenience of virtual space, and rarely set foot in these forests again.

And there is such a force, stationed in all the forests for many years, and the primeval forests here are as lush as they were thousands of years ago.

They don't have the same boon as Li Jiancheng, and the forest is just to cover the whereabouts of the satellite. And after the appearance of a character like Li Jiancheng in the Tius Academy, they installed sensors on almost every tree.

If they were given a few more years, perhaps Kyosuke Uehara's hideout would also be covered by them.

All this seems to be a coincidence, as if it is not, in short, at this moment, this is the heyday of the Church Nordic Legion, but it is still a little short of absolute perfection.

To the north, Smola Island, from a satellite point of view, is a completely uninhabited area. Decades ago, the only keeper of the tower had died, and the lighthouse waiting for the ship was mossy and mottled. And in fact, for many years, no civilian steamers have come close here.

So no one saw that on the steps leading to the sea in front of the lighthouse, there was a young maiden. At the age of about twenty-five or sixteen, in any country, it is a time to be carefree.

But neither satellites nor pervasive probes in mid-air could detect any information on the island, including the girl's presence. A huge computing cluster is hidden under this island, and within an unknown number of kilometers, it is within the shielded range of Smola Island.

It's safe here, at least for now.

The girl held a scepter-like device with a well-made energy core installed in it, and countless codes were etched into the nanoscale chip, giving the scepter its own boon.

Artenis leaned his scepter forward, and the water in front of him was sharply bounded, as if an invisible force controlled the current. Whether it's separating the sea or condensing the balloon, this scepter is very useful.

This was supposed to be a scepter that belonged to Poseidon.

In fact, twenty years ago, when Wendini was the Aquaman of the Church, he was not technologically advanced enough to develop such a thing.

But now, the scepter is there, and both generations of Sea Kings have fallen.

For various reasons, Artenis actually didn't understand. She is not a newcomer, but she has only been in this position for five years. Judging by the average life expectancy of human beings, she is indeed a little girl.

Now seemed to be the time to rest, and the bright northern Ouyang light shone on her fair skin, looking like a beautiful marble statue. Surrounded by weeds, she was like a spirit from the Divine Domain, descending on this uninhabited land.

"It's dangerous out there." At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of armor clashing behind her, and before she could turn around, Ranmarok's somewhat old voice came from behind her.

He was once brought into St. George's Basilica by Athena, but for some unknown reason, was sent here. It doesn't seem to be exiled or dismissed, he's still free here, and he's in charge of a certain amount of armed forces.

Knights of the Round Table

The authority was no higher than that of the Twelve Lords, but Artenis felt that their place in St. George's heart was a little more important.

I don't know how this feeling came about.

"Come out and breathe." Artenis turned, placing the scepter in front of her lower abdomen. She wore a tight white military uniform, dressed as a hunter, with an arrow on her shoulder and a full moon.

"You should be here for the first time." Ranmarok also sat next to her naturally, looking at the endless sea.

"It's also the first time I've left the church." Artenis wore her hair neatly short, and there was a maturity and decisiveness in her words and deeds that did not suit her age: "I never thought that in my lifetime war would break out in Europe. ”

"Really?" Ranmaroke's response was flat, and he didn't take off his armor even in the scorching sun. Not showing one's true face seems to be a tradition of the Knights of the Round Table. Grahide commands the Church's whale warband, and it is said that no one has ever seen him in person.

"I don't like to fight, and I never will." After a moment of silence, he spoke again, and Artenis turned his head to look at the armor: "Sometimes I would like to set off from this lighthouse, take a boat, and drift two thousand kilometers forward, which is the Arctic glacier. It's quiet there. ”

"The glaciers have melted a lot." Artenis trampled on the ground under his feet: "And there is no food there, there is no internet, it will die." ”

Ranmaroke seemed to let out a laugh and shook his head without saying anything more.

The sea slowly pounded the reef beneath its feet, and in fact, the island was reclaimed and rebuilt 70 years ago, and the sea level rose so fast that the entire British island had to be covered with several layers of earth. And this is one of the reasons why the government has people concentrated in the cities, so it is only natural that these special forces should take root here.

As for the Arctic, a large number of melting glaciers are said to have been contained, the United Nations has filled the ozone layer, and everything is slowly getting better.

But I didn't expect that now the war has begun.

"Aquaman's scepter, are you still used to using it?" Ranmaroch also seemed to have nothing to do, so he came up to talk to Artenis.

The latter took out the scepter again, pressed the mechanism, and the sea in front of him changed shape according to his thoughts. This scepter does not give her the true power of Aquaman, if it is really Aquaman in his hand, it can enhance his brain waves. But if it's someone else, it's just a symbol.

But it was proof that Artenis was in charge of the Nordic maritime power.

"Sometimes I wonder if fighting a war has anything to do with this technology?" Artenis played with the scepter in his hand and said, "If this gift could be turned into a formula and stored in an object......

"There is some truth, but not exactly." Ranmarok tapped the stabbing spear beside him with one hand and said: "There are many factors that determine how it will develop like this, and the technological explosion is only one part of it. Even if all people are gifted and all are law enforcers, the issue of inequality may not change. ”

"Inequality?" Artenis said, "What do you think...... The reason is here? ”

Ranmarok seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the hand that struck the spear stopped, watching the sun ripple like fish scales on the surface of the sea, as if he had seen the Middle Ages

Ji Those pillars of evil have seen the history of human beings crawling forward for thousands of years.

He and Artenis turned out to be people from a completely different world.

Under the mask, wrinkles comparable to George's face were reluctantly piled together, and then he turned his head to look at Artenis's innocent face, white as a glacier in the North Pole.

"Because there is a drop, the water flows from the top down, and that's it." Ranmarok quickly changed the subject, pointed to the sea to the east and said, "What do you think about the problem over there?" ”

"The Hermitage pressed the line of defense." Artenis suddenly became interested, straightened his back, and looked first to the east and then to the west: "The fleet of the Federation is also active near Greenland. They targeted the church, and all at the same time strengthened their maritime power. I believe they know that we have lost the status quo of Aquaman, so they think that we will strengthen our military power at sea. So......" she looked back at the forest behind her, and said, "they will go from here." Not the military, it's the law enforcers. Or rather, the Hermitage. ”

"You know what? We have reached some kind of phased agreement with the Hermitage. "But right now, the plan can never keep up with the changes. ”

"Agreements?" Artenis asked, "Will he be on the side of the church?" ”

"It's not that simple." "The most important exchange technique. As for whether the Winter Palace will come out and participate in the war, it should depend on the actual situation. Of course, we don't expect them to stand on our soil against people from other countries, because that's no different from luring a wolf into the house. ”

"The battle of Verdun was really ugly!" Artenis rested her cheeks with both hands, and although she participated in the last-minute battle, she was still so angry that she stomped her feet when she saw the video replay.

"Really?" Ranmaroch chuckled, "I think it's funny. ”

"Let the two main gods go, the two knights go, or I go, so that I won't lose so ugly."

"You should see two things from this fight." Ranmarok changed his tone, clenched the bayonet gun beside him, and said, "First, we don't have to win every battle. Every battle has a plan and purpose, and as long as it is achieved, it does not care about other casualties or gains and losses. We grabbed two people from the Lost Oasis, and I think it's pretty good. Second, the Federation is strong. If you encounter it in the future, you have to be careful. ”

"Yes." Artenis quickly reacted to his childish remarks, nodded solemnly, and pondered the words behind Ranmaroke's back. seems to be an ordinary knight chief, and the angle of seeing the problem is far more thorough than her. This is probably why, the church will send two middle-aged people to help her, and the ideas that have been precipitated over many years can not be made up for by strength.

"The Federation is strong." Ranmarok sighed and repeated: "Even if you don't look at the battles of the past few hundred years, just look at the talent of the academy for decades, the church is not comparable to ......"

As they spoke, a screen appeared in front of them. Artenis put back on his glasses, and soon there were strips of data, as well as a complete map of the underground.

"Something happened to the subject." Ranmaroke picked up his spear, Artenis followed, and only his unhurried voice could be heard: "Before I go to sea, I'll help you solve it one last time." ”
