Chapter 711: War and Dawn
A few months ago, Watson and Stone set out from Avalon together, but they had different missions, and even different destinations. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Compared to Shi Dong, who gave a message every once in a while to prove that he was alive, Watson really had no news at all, and there was no news from any channel.
There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.
Although he felt that with the degree of damage of this goods, he would not necessarily lose half of his hair when everyone else died, Ye Qingxuan was always a little worried in his heart.
But as a result, the news he waited for was not a success, nor a failure, but his advanced scepter......
Watson's qualifications, Ye Qingxuan was never worried.
There are only a few people in this world who can compare with him in terms of talent.
After all, it is a robin, after all, it is the first priest of the evil god of Anglo, who once served as a royal musician, and it is difficult for others to break through the scepter, but for him, it is just a step-by-step process.
Although Ye Qingxuan washed away the evil god music theory and made him return to the official musician, but since then, the core music theory of each school has been supplied in unlimited quantities, if he can't go a long way, then there will be a ghost.
But Ye Qingxuan didn't expect it to be so fast.
"He should have been preparing for a long time. ”
Stone said, "Integrate purifying music theory into the robin's animal nature, and then let your animal nature be infected by the abyss, and then purify it by yourself, repeating it several times a day."
In the end, I couldn't tell what state he was, the purification music theory didn't work for him, and the abyssal infection had no effect at all.
- He hovered on the line between redemption and depravity, and in this way he fulfilled the scepter. ”
"When did you break through?" Ye Qingxuan asked.
Stone sucked the bitter potion and smiled strangely: "After leaving Avalon, we made our way, and before we disembarked in the port of the Netherlands, he broke through. ”
Ye Qingxuan was helplessly silent.
He heard what Stone meant.
The official musician becomes the master, and the master becomes the scepter musician, and the essence of the whole process is actually to promote one's heart to the chapter of fate, and the chapter of fate to the scepter.
This is the sublimation of the self.
In short, to be a musician, he must first be himself, to be himself who he wants to be.
That's one of the reasons why he's been able to move up the ranks since he left Avalon...... Because what Ye Qingxuan asked him to do before was not in line with his nature.
Even if Ye Qingxuan threw Xiacheng to him and let him do whatever he wanted, it was just for him to use his dark side to suppress the gang of thugs below.
Fight evil with evil.
After all, there are limitations.
Otherwise, according to Watson's ideas, this guy would definitely be able to make dozens of big news.
People can't kill them all, things can't be done too much, we must leave a line, and we must deal with it carefully...... The most excessive thing is to ask him to be a good person.
Too reluctantly.
Ye Qingxuan was not worried that after untying Watson's shackles, he would become the big devil who drank blood and cannibalism, his will and wisdom were enough to dominate his dark side, and he would even do better than now.
But at the end of the day, it's not good.
Ye Qingxuan helped him to get free, not to let him curl up in the shadows for the rest of his life and become the next shaman, but to let him live in the sun with dignity.
It's a pity that dislike is dislike after all.
"Looks like this mission made him very happy......"
Ye Qingxuan sighed, "Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, let him live the life he likes, I won't stop him." ”
"This is long overdue. ”
Stone rolled his eyes: "He asked me to tell you that I will be missing for a while, you don't need to worry, if you don't come, it means you're dead, if you don't die, you will come back sooner or later." ”
"He has his own ideas, so let him be. ”
"So, during the time I'm away, has anything happened other than the collapse of our Holy City?"
"Not a lot. ”
Ye Qingxuan shrugged: "Yesterday, the Holy City has officially pronounced the 'Orthodox Church' as a heretic, and asked the authority of the Inquisition to protect the gods and launch a new 'Eastern Crusade' to the Caucasus. ”
Stone smiled, "What do you mean?"
"Huh. Ye Qingxuan didn't even bother to roll his eyes: "Now it is said that the Cardinal Church is ready even for Anglo's heresy charges."
It can be expected that in a few months, I, the Prince of Avalon, will be the 'Great Red Dragon' who has plagued Anglo. Shall I obey the orders of the Holy City and decide for myself?"
Stone didn't dwell on this anymore.
This set is all left over from their play, when the witch hunted, I don't know how many people who suspected that they had a connection with the abyss were directly sent to the stake, civilians don't need a reason, if the nobles say, just find an excuse.
When these crazy people played demon skewers, now the people in the Holy City have not learned how to make fires.
"Where is the East?"
Stone asked: "Since Bai Heng has broken the balance between the East and the West, there will definitely be a big move next, right?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time and shook his head.
"Nope. ”
"No?"
Stone raised his eyes, the only thing that stunned him, unexpected.
For hundreds of years, the East and the West have maintained ties that can only be described as connected, with little interaction between the two sides, restraint from each other, and no dictating in each other's territory.
Now that Bai Heng has rashly broken the tacit understanding and balance between the two sides, then there will definitely be a round of storms next.
But he didn't do anything.
What exactly does he want to do?
"Not only did he do nothing. ”
Ye Qingxuan said angrily: "He didn't let anyone else do it." ”
"What do you mean?"
Stone asked.
"See for yourself. ”
Ye Qingxuan sighed, knocked on the table, and a ray of light projected out of the void, intertwined into a phantom, and appeared in front of Shi Stone.
That's a huge stereoscopic map.
The whole world is encompassed in it.
But at least two-thirds of the area that has been discovered by humans is still submerged in darkness. More than half of the proven areas are the sea.
Angru is located due west of the map and is included in dozens of countries in the West. And in the distant opposite is the Aurora in the East.
In fact, the territory of Aurora alone cannot be compared with that of the West, which is only about half of the entire Western countries.
And the reason why it is divided into east and west is because the east and west are almost separated by an unexplored dark world, leaving only a few routes, and winding roads that are difficult to trek.
The country has paid little attention to the changes outside of Aurora, and the country has little interest in the West on the other side of the dark world, except for a few dozen traveling musicians who come to the West every year, but they rarely talk about their hometowns.
Including Ye Lanzhou.
For him, Dongfang is a sad place, and it will only bring trouble to himself, so except for the music, he never mentions Aurora's situation, resulting in Ye Qingxuan, although he is the blood of heaven and man, he has no concept of Aurora's scenery at all.
And if there was almost no contact before.
Then now there is no contact at all.
"What is this?"
Stone looked at the changes on the map, dumbfounded.
In the observation of the Aether Web, the darkness that originally separated the East and the West was a hundred times thicker, completely blocking all paths. And the whole of Aurora has been shrouded in a blurry halo, and it is completely impossible to see any changes.
"Probably the Great Wall. ”
Ye Qingxuan's expression was indifferent: "If I guessed correctly, Bai Heng obtained the fragments of the Wheel of Balance in order to make up for the defects of the Great Wall and achieve such an effect."
Judging from the current effect, the Great Wall has been fully opened, enveloping the entire land of Aurora and expelling all the music theory from the outside world. That's why he wasn't afraid to turn his face with the Holy City at all, and even if he did, the Holy City wouldn't have anything to do with him...... He built himself a house before the storm. ”
Stone was silent for a long time, with a sigh of relief.
"That's fine, we're missing a huge variable. He looked to the north of Anglo on the map: "Now the only things that need to be considered are the Caucasus and Asgard." ”
Asgard.
There was a brief silence in the room.
In the past two days, the Anglo military headquarters has held countless meetings for this purpose, but every time the name is mentioned, it is difficult to feel it.
It is known as the existence of the thousand-year-old overlord.
The largest country in the entire West, the empire with the most powerful national strength, financial resources, and war potential, is the only country with the throne of emperor except Aurora.
Now in this chaotic thought, the road to war has also begun.
Ye Qingxuan was not surprised that the Asgardians chose war, it would be strange if they did not choose war.
In the past, although Asgard's hegemony came from its own strength, it relied on the Holy City's restraint on the countries to maintain, and now that the Holy City has lost its control, Asgard will naturally not sit back and watch other countries threaten it.
Moreover, Asgard is the biggest beneficiary of the Al-Quds system, and it will certainly not see another system re-established and deny its own status.
In particular, Gaius's revolution and system were absolutely incompatible with Asgard, the sustainer of the old world.
The two were destined to be inseparable from the day they were born.
Long before that, Asgard had declared war on the Caucasus.
And now, in the face of Ye Qingxuan's rebellion and Gaius's threat, as well as ...... The so-called Orthodox Son of God, the Holy City, which has lost control of the world, will never sit idly by.
Everyone already felt that this war would engulf the whole world, and if the East did not seal its borders, even Aurora would be drawn into it.
Heaven and earth are vast, but no one can escape.
"It seems that Gaius has now gone from being a thorn in the side of the Holy City to a mortal enemy. ”
Stone shook his head helplessly: "Whether it's the Orthodox Church or your ...... Friends of the gods, they are all scary. ”
"Charles is not a son of God. ”
Ye Qingxuan corrected coldly: "He is my senior brother, that's all, don't let me remind you again." ”
“...... Good. ”
Stone sighed and no longer bothered with the question: "Then, after rejecting the Caucasus Alliance, how do you plan to face the current situation, Your Excellency?"
Now you're not the lone musician, you have the whole of Anglo behind you, the Inquisition, and even the Chainsaw Brothers have chosen you.
It can be expected that once the war starts, you will have more allies...... There are more enemies than allies.
On the surface, your biggest contradiction comes from the Holy City, but as long as the Holy City is willing to give in, as long as you are willing to compromise, your purpose can coexist with the purpose of the Holy City.
But Asgard is different......"
"I see. Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You mean, I can choose to make Anglo the next Asgard, but Asgard has no way out......"
"Asgard's hundreds of years of prosperity come from its bundle with the Holy City, it is the pillar of the Holy City system, all along, the Asgardians have relied on the dividends of the system to bridge the contradictions in the country, but the contradictions between the various clans can no longer be suppressed, and the contradictions between the commoners and the nobles have been so acute that they cannot be buffered, not to mention Gaius's set of revolutionary theories to abolish the aristocracy has been pushed hard in the back.
If the Al-Quds system collapses, it will be wiped out from civil strife and external threats. Therefore, Asgard must defend the old world, and it must defend the holy city.
It's an existential moment for them.
- And if I were Asgard, I would definitely choose Anglo to strike first. ”
Stone's words are exactly the conclusion reached by the military department after the two-day meeting.
This war will definitely start between Asgard and Anglo.
There are many reasons for this.
And one of the biggest is location.
Near.
Anglo was too close to Asgard for the Burgundians to cross a strait to land on Anglo mainland if they opened the border route.
What's more, Anglo is currently in the void of national strength due to Leviathan's attack, the royal fleet has been hit hard, and the domestic economy has just entered a period of take-off, and it is too late to transform into strength.
Moreover, anyone with a little brain can see that the later the ether net that Ye Qingxuan has created, the more terrifying it becomes, and if it is an enemy, it must not be let go.
Moreover, the most terrible thing is that although the Asgardians are huge, compared to the country, the distribution of resources is completely concentrated at the other end of the country, and the industrial and manufacturing industries and even the grain production areas are distributed around the Golden Palace, and if there is a war with the Caucasus, then it must rely on sea transportation to maintain supplies.
Hell, if the Asgardians dared to go to war across the Anglo and Caucasus, Anglo would be able to rely on the Avalon effect of the converging currents and the homeland defense front to intercept the Asgardians' supplies to the point where they didn't even know the.
Therefore, the logic becomes simple.
War is bound to break out.
And once a war breaks out, it will inevitably be protracted.
Once the time has passed, then the competition is the national strength reserve and supply. In order to ensure supplies and transportation, it is necessary to control the sea.
In order to control the sea, Anglo must be pressed to death.
And you can't die again until you die.
Even if there is only one Avalon left in Anglo, he will be able to crucify Asgard in the heart with the Homeland Defense Front.
Therefore, the first battle is bound to be fought between Anglo and Asgard.
And the beginning of the war must be at sea.
This war, which started because of the shipping routes, will determine the overall situation of the whole world in the future.
"Get ready, Your Excellency. Stone lowered his eyes: "Winter is coming." ”
"It's not winter. ”
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and stared out the window, the net of ether hanging high above the sky in the long night, the crystal reflected the sunlight bred on the dark sea in the distance, magnificent and quiet.
"It's dawn. ”
