Chapter 33: The Past

The war between the Renaissance Society and the clan forces lasted for a whole week, and there was no progress on either side, and of course the stalemate was between inside and outside the city defense system.

The artillery fortress system of the city defense system, as well as the alchemical armament that was added after the large-scale appearance of the hidden forces, posed a great threat to the attacking forces

With powerful super soldiers cooperating with the city defense system, coupled with the alchemy assistance of the Spirit Lord, it is impossible for the family alliance to break through the defense system of Sanctuary City without the strength of the whole army.

However, even if they put all their strength into it, this is not a goal that can be won in a day or two.

It was the strongest fortress in Middle-earth.

Although it has been repeatedly regarded as nothing by outsiders, fate has to give some face. This time, fate gave the city defense system enough face, so that it could live up to its name.

During this precious week, the Spirit Lord continued to dig up what he had left behind, and tried to connect the spatial rifts of the three major families and directly parachute into their secret headquarters.

With the hidden forces in Sanctuary City being continuously activated and sent to the city defense system for defense work, the family forces outside the city are finally convinced that the leader of the Revival Society staying in this city is the true spirit master.

In response, they began to make corresponding operational adjustments.

They dispatched large alchemical artillery and a variety of siege weapons. The integrity of Sanctuary City and the personal safety of the civilians and even nobles inside were no longer in their consideration.

With the heavy weapons of the clan forces joining the battlefield, the Revival Society will be unable to resist the power of this devastating weapon, even with its super soldiers and countless powerful hidden powers.

Although they were able to protect themselves, they had no way to defend the city defense system. Their numbers are too small to bring out the full strength of the city's defense system.

Fortunately, after five days and five nights of research, the Spirit Lord finally found the specific location of the spatial rift controlled by the three major families through some clues in the Holy Domain City.

The next thing is very simple, through the construction of a temporary spatial passage, the spirit lord led a group of fighters from the Revival Society and a few sacred stone statues to the spatial rift of the three major families.

However, the three major families began to set traps as early as after confirming the identity of the spirit master. They laid traps and teleportation circles in every place where they might be exploited by the Spirit Master.

It's just that what they don't know is that in the spatial rift, the spirit lord doesn't need to suppress his own power.

In the face of the Spirit Lord who has unleashed his full strength, any trap is useless, not to mention, this spatial rift is still created by the rift generator given to them by the Spirit Lord.

Therefore, there was no suspense, the trap did not play any role, and this stable spatial crack was successfully captured by the spirit master.

However, the Leviathan, which had been roaming here, had now appeared in the skies above Sanctuary City.

Although the city defense system has the most powerful air defense system in all of Middle-earth, there are not only standard anti-aircraft artillery, but also alchemical laser cannons.

However, these weapons of air and space warfare are still somewhat fragile in the face of war era. In just a few minutes, a large amount of spatial turbulence broke through the first layer of the alchemy defense matrix of the city defense system.

The battle between the two sides became anxious. The flying gargoyles and angels of the sacred statues all take to the skies to face the Leviathan.

After learning that their spatial rift had been taken away, the three major families immediately destroyed the passage connecting important parts of themselves to the spatial rift.

But even if the passages were destroyed, they still left traces, and it would take time for the Spirit Lord to probe to be able to locate the locations of the important parts of the three major families.

It's just that Sanctuary City is now under fierce attack, and the Leviathan monster has the ability to repair spatial cracks, so there is no need to worry about making a wound in this space.

However, the Spirit Lord is different, if he uses all his strength, it is not an ordinary rift, just like the subspace rift in Andre County, which must be sealed with a large alchemy matrix to avoid the invasion of subspace.

The high-level of the three major families may be wiped out by the Spirit Lord, and the Spirit Lord is also facing the risk that the Holy Domain City will be breached, and the revival will be killed.

Now the two sides are competing for time to complete their goals faster than anyone.

。

After two days' voyage, the large transport ship came to the vicinity of the defense line of the fortress of the Supreme Lighthouse.

Because the entire coastline of the Kingdom of Rothil had been converted into a steel line, it was now necessary to either make a large circle to the seaport of Yanodin, near the Duchy of Gaul, or to convert this temporary port built by the army of the Southern Loa Empire into a military seaport.

Or to the more distant general military port, which was used by the Kingdom during its counterattack on Serbia, which generally does not provide a call for any non-naval ships.

Large cranes began to carry the steam armored knights and some supplies loaded on the deck to the port, then the escalator came to the transport ship, and after the crew secured it, Kimchi and Hecehia disembarked in their ceremonial robes.

War had temporarily put a dampen on the northern country, and all sorts of red tape among the nobles, both politically and practically, began to fanfare again.

For example, this time the welcome ceremony of the future Duke Regent and the Countess of the Spirit Palace.

For the sake of war, people who work unpaid in the state machinery need a reason to take a holiday.

Kimchi hadn't worn anything other than combat uniforms and his usual military uniforms for a long time, and this time he still looked a little stiff in the duke's clothes, and he needed Hessehya's help sorting his clothes.

What followed was a whole set of rituals that were boring to the extreme, and were completely used for others to see.

After the ceremony, Kimchi quickly changed into this set of clothes, put on his military uniform again, left the port on a military train, and rushed to the border front line between the Holy Kingdom and the Rothschild Kingdom.

Kimchi, they were naturally not on an ordinary military train.

Considering that a large part of the people in their own country now believe in a slight change from Spiritualism to Protestantism, the Kingdom of Rohir does not dare to slack off on the holy woman in the religious sense.

They were on a military train in which high-ranking generals were ridden.

However, Kimchi didn't know what kind of car the kingdom arranged, so he habitually got on the car, found a window seat and began to prepare to sleep to make up for his energy.

If it weren't for Hessehya's introduction to the next trip at the end of the ceremony, Kimchi might have really slept against the wall under the surprised eyes of the flight attendants.

"I said brother, what's the matter with you?" Hessesia said as he pulled Kimchi into the carriage that was set up in the living room.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, isn't this a habit, not next time." Of course, Kimchi is also a little embarrassed, although he does not care much about the eyes of others, but on the contrary, he cares about the eyes of his family.

He didn't want to make such a play outside, in front of his sister, how nice it was at home.

"That's how you used to sleep?"

"That's right, when I was a child, I had to make a freight train in order to avoid being tracked down by some people, and you didn't know that Aishuur was called a hard, and I had a headache when I slept.

Then during the First Battle of the Rhine, the armored train on which I rode did not have such a luxurious bedroom or living room, and the officers of the entire train used only a folding bed.

I was just confused by that ritual, and I accidentally thought it was before, and habitually fell down and fell asleep. ”

Kimchi touched the back of his head embarrassedly. Dressed in a plain military uniform, Hessehiah knew that her brother was probably the most peculiar of nobles.

Obviously, his status is so noble that only so many people in the whole of Middle-earth can be compared, and as a result, he is more like a commoner than an ordinary baron.

Maybe my brother's life now is the most suitable for him?

The train started slowly, leaving the harbor of the High Lighthouse Fortress and heading inland.

After overhauling and playing with his knight's armor, Kimchi and the bored Hecehia talked again.

"Anyway, can you tell me about your childhood?" Kimchi suddenly brought up the topic.

"Of course." Hessehia nodded.

。

Time goes back to more than ten years ago, and Sikong is traveling all over the world under the pseudonym Jeffrey. Ayukashi admires the minaret architecture in Middle-earth.

Ayukasi is the chief engineer in ancient Middle-earth, which is very compatible with his surname.

Then there's the more clichΓ© love story. Cecilia and Sikong had a conflict with each other because of their different views of the minaret.

Cecilia, who was angry, said that she was a hillbilly in a strange accent of Sikong, and at that time she did not know what the language of the Eastern countries was all about.

And Sikong used a porcelain doll to fight back at the eldest lady of this holy country.

This pair of enemies scolded and quarreled and fell in love with each other.

Cecilia was already very dissatisfied with the current Spirit Sect and wanted to create a new Spirit Sect, and Sikong happened to be very interested, so the two sides started a branch of their own Spirit Sect.

With Cecilia present, this Protestantism soon gained its influence and began to spread on a small scale.

And Sikong and Cecilia had two children, Kimchi and Hecehia, respectively.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the three major families, the Divine Descent Organization, and even the South Luoya Empire, which was far to the west, began to spy on this small family.

This wasn't because of some old-fashioned aristocratic ideas or religious disputes, or because Sikong had gained Aishuur outside of his travels in the false empire.

There is the intervention of the South Loya Empire, mostly because of things related to living meteorites.

The bloodline of Sikong and Cecilia produced a wonderful phenomenon. Two separate conflicting genes of living meteorites collided violently.

It doesn't have much of an impact in the real world, but in high-latitude space, it directly attracts the attention of a being.

It can be said that the living meteorite is his minions, chess pieces to play chess with other beings in the infinite dimension and the endless cosmic space.

When your rook and horse merge, it will certainly attract your attention.

In the same way, the being who is a chess player is naturally happy to see something interesting.

Under His gaze, the forces all found some kind of sign, and although it was not clear what it was, it was a good thing that could cause such a large fluctuation.

The Holy Council decided to kill the two children, while the other forces prepared to take them.

Because he didn't want to reveal his true identity, he chose to use general alchemy and various weapons that couldn't distinguish his identity, which eventually led to Sikong and Cecilia misjudging that they thought that some force was going to kill their children.

These forces were strong enough and numerous enough that even the guards provided by the friends of Eshur and Cecilia of the Teutonic Duchy were no match for them.

So they had to start their flight.

The first stop was the Duchy of Teuton, where Cecilia's friend helped him find a hidden country estate.

This is not the sphere of influence of the Holy Kingdom, and it is far away from the Southern Loya Empire, so it has been spent peacefully for a while.

If you take care of your family, you can't take care of your religion if you want to.

The Protestants had no leader, and the incident happened suddenly, and they naturally began to split, and most of them were absorbed by the kingdoms of Rothschild and Rhine with ulterior motives, and began a rapid and preceding religious revolution to weaken the religious voice of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Kingdom doesn't need to use religion to become the overlord of Middle-earth anyway, so it doesn't care what happens in these two countries, as long as the colonies and the southern countries are not affected.

After living in the Teutonic Principality for two or three years, they were finally discovered again by the persevering members of the Holy Council.

This time, they knew that Sikong had Aishuur in his hands, so they used the Knights of Candle Shadow to hunt and kill.

Ashur alone was able to barely fend off the Knights of the Candleshade, the Praetorian Guard, Sikong and Cecilia were able to hold off the remaining combatants. But this time, there is also the assassination team.

Seeing that Kimchi and Hecehia were left alone and about to be beheaded by the members of the assassination team, that being naturally did not let this matter succeed.

A tiny projection of Him came to the members of the Holy Council who were about to kill Kimchi and Hessehijah, and looked at the two young children with a deep gaze.

He intended to complete the fusion of the chess pieces, and Hecehia was a good mother, but all this was blocked by Kimchi.

But for this being, none of this is a big deal, plus the body carrying the projection is on the verge of shattering, so it leaves.

But His legacy will have a dramatic impact on the future.

Later, the Sikong clan awakened the bloodline in order to suppress that existence, and had to return to the Eastern Continent.

Cecilia also learned from Ludwig that the family had come to "protect" them, and that they were not part of the Holy Council.

Persuaded by Ludwig, Cecilia returned to the Holy Kingdom with Hecehijah.

Originally, Kimchi was also going to go with him, but after receiving Sikong's instructions, the seriously injured Aishuur and Reinhardt, the only remaining captain of the Janissaries of the Teutonic Principality, tried their best to snatch Kimchi out and began to flee.

The so-called gray pupils are the genetic offspring of living meteorites in the East.

。

That's probably all that, of course, Kimchi only heard about their time in the Teutonic principality.

A conversation was a good way to draw in some looming estrangement between the siblings.

The train roared and ran as Kimchi told Hessehia that he had fled with Eschuur and Reinhardt in the past few years and arrived at the transit station.

This large transit station was used to refuel and everything the train needed, and Kimchi and Hessehia walked to the platform, not far from the famous Lake Belga in the kingdom of Rohir.

The train departs again after completing the necessary supplies and repairs, this time without stopping on the way.

I have to say that red mercury is really a god-made thing, and it can supply the train to travel so far without needing to replenish it again.

A few days later, Kimchi and Hecehia arrived at the rear supply base of the front line and arrived at the outpost in an armored steam locomotive.

Here you can see the traces left by the wanton subspace storm in the distance, as well as the crazy evolution of various strange things formed by the pollution of the subspace.

In the distance, the sky was a dark purple color, and lightning was constantly generated, and in the interval between lightning and thunder, the huge body of the strange thing could be seen.

Thankfully, in many tests, creatures as large as Leviathans only exist in the clouds, and those that can come out are small, and the air force and air defense positions can barely withstand their onslaught.

The Army's mission is to protect these anti-aircraft positions and forward bases from being swallowed up by the tide of monsters. And the knight brigade led by Kimchi will serve as the main force to resist the beast tide in the next stage.

Because unstable subspace storms still spawn from time to time, so do the beast tides of strange things from time to time.

This kind of thing, Kimchi is familiar with the road.

。

In the battle between the three major families and the spirit master, in the end, the spirit master was slightly superior, and the three major families were one step ahead of their high-level leaders.

However, it did not slaughter all the members of these families, because they were still of some use, so they were imprisoned.

The top echelons of the northern government were wiped out, and this news naturally could not be immediately known to the front-line troops.

Therefore, the spirit lord still needs to make a slow transition now.

After more than 10 days of aftermath work, the Restoration Society returned to a single body and began to transform into a government.

Of course, this government will not have much real power, and the Spirit Lord will be more centralized than any centralized government, and all major power will not be let go until it has produced a loyal auxiliary minister.

By the time Kimchi returned to the Lohil Kingdom from Serbia, the northern government had basically been reorganized by the Spirit Lord, and the troops on the front line were already quietly changing.

Of course, this will affect their combat effectiveness, but there are hidden forces that continue to rise to the top, and the northern government still occupies the offensive advantage on the battlefield.

And now the Spirit Lord intends to stabilize the situation on the border first, and then continue to attack the southern government to complete the goal of unifying the Holy Kingdom.

So the Spirit Lord took De La Loan to the front line of the Kingdom of Rothil and the Holy Kingdom, ready to check the situation there and make plans for the next step.
