Chapter 1383: A Thousand Miles of Communication
"Are you sure you read that right?"
When Iron Axe heard the news, a rare look of surprise appeared on his face, and he and Edith glanced at each other, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.
In fact, Tilly was hesitant to tell the First Army commander about the discovery without discovering the truth. After all, this is close to a miracle, and if the devil can really do this, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the morale and confidence of the higher-ups, and it is not surprising that people with weak wills will surrender.
"You're absolutely right," Maisie said, patting her chest, "Lightning and I have been to the continental spine, and there is no such thing as a mountain in this shape!"
Lightning then nodded slowly, "Whether it was something made by the devil or not, we can't say for sure at the moment, but at least one thing is certain, it only appeared there in the last half a month." ”
"I see......," Edith said thoughtfully, "it makes sense." ”
"You believe it?" said Tilly, surprised.
She had thought that it would take some time for the other party to digest this information and then arrange the next observation operation to confirm it, but she didn't expect that the Northland Pearl seemed to have accepted their statement - you must know that even the three people they saw with their own eyes had taken a lot of effort to reach a consensus that "it was not an illusion".
"If you want to blame Roland, blame it. Edith sighed, "If it had been three years ago, I would have thought of it as a madman's babble...... But now, no matter what happens, I don't think it's impossible. If you stay in a small place like you used to, you won't realize that the world has changed dramatically. ”
In addition, the devil's unreasonable actions are equivalent to confirming this. After a pause, she briefly recounted the information that Hill Fox had obtained, "A noble city cannot accommodate such a large population, and a floating land is not necessarily. ”
"The Devil...... Contain humans?" Lightning wondered.
"This is not without precedent, didn't Agatha say that during the first battle of the divine will, some humans formed an 'alliance' with the devil to deal with witches. Edith shrugged disapprovingly, "At that time, they were afraid of the power of witches, but now they have only replaced it with the power of His Majesty Roland. If you are not willing to accept change or be a part of it, then there is a limit to what you can do. ”
"They didn't take the warnings of the Divine Will War seriously......" Tilly couldn't help but clench her fists.
"No......," Edith smiled eerily, "even if the nobles knew it was true, it would still be possible to make the same decision." The end of the war may well be years or decades away, but the abolition of the nobility and the recovery of the fiefdoms by His Majesty are what is happening now. For some, it's no different from asking for their lives, one is to die immediately, the other is to die later, and of course the latter is better. ”
"Alright," Iron Axe interrupted helplessly. He knew that once the Northland Pearl entered taunt mode, he would not stop easily, and it was easy to accidentally hurt others, even himself. "Let's get down to business, the key is, how do we deal with a flying land?"
Edith's expression returned to normal, "No, we can't deal with it. If it just stays on the continental spine, it's fine, but if it does move from somewhere else, we're in big trouble. To be observed by Her Highness Tilly hundreds of kilometers away, it would be larger than we could have imagined—do you think the Skyfire alone could destroy a corner of the Desperate Mountains?"
"I have to tell my brother about this as soon as possible. Tilly said in a deep voice.
"I think so too," Edith nodded, "it's not about strategy or strategy, and the only one who can come up with a solution is His Majesty Roland." ”
"It's a pity that the new telecommunications tower is still under construction, otherwise according to the installer, this thing would allow us to talk to His Majesty immediately. Iron Axe immediately walked over to his desk, picked up his pen and began to write, "Anyway, let's use the flying messenger to send the news back first." ”
"No, I'll do it. Tilly stepped forward, "At the speed of the Phoenix, we will be able to leave early tomorrow morning and reach Neverwinter by noon, which is faster than any messenger." And...... I just wanted to say thank you for his new gift. ”
After saying that, she looked at Lightning and Maisie, "I'll leave the reconnaissance west of the Desperate Mountain Range to the two of you." ”
"Leave it to us," the two replied earnestly.
......
The next day, Tilly set off alone in the Phoenix, first heading east to the sea, then south along the coastline, landing at the Royal Sky Knight Academy in less than four hours.
On this day, many people witnessed this red meteor sweeping across the sky.
She jumped out of the plane and sped all the way, taking three steps and two steps into the castle, and when she saw the flying gray hair, none of the guards dared to stop her.
Pushing open the office door, Roland blinked in surprise, apparently not expecting her to show up at this time.
"Uh...... Is there anything wrong with the new plane?"
Tilly's footsteps faltered, and a little guilt suddenly arose in her heart—did she push him so hard that she asked about the plane as soon as she opened her mouth?" "No, special plane...... I mean, the Phoenix was better than I expected, that ...... Thank you, brother. ”
"Whew," Roland breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression quickly became solemn again, "Then you came back because...... Got important information?"
"That's right, when I was flying the Phoenix, I accidentally spotted the devil's movements. Tilly recounted the trio's story in detail.
Roland couldn't help frowning after hearing this. For an object to be seen from a distance, in addition to the fact that there is no obstruction in the path of light, another element is to be large enough, such as the moon and stars overhead. Hundreds of kilometers away, even the Desperate Mountains are just a thick line of winding lines, and the continental spine is nothing more than a gray "hill", which can be observed at this distance, this thing is definitely not that small.
The devil now has the power to lift such a large piece of land into the sky?
You know, this is something that even modern technology can't do.
If it were a solid piece of land, the lethality of any existing weapon would be greatly diminished - this is determined by physical properties, and the ability to float enormous weights means an astonishing amount of energy in itself.
The magic is really unreasonable......
However, Roland had understood this since he met Anna, and now it was imperative to find out more about this behemoth.
He thought of a great candidate.
In the midst of the dream, Roland took out his phone and pressed Vakiris's number.
