Chapter 50: Before the Storm
Compared with the large library where materials are stored, the place where precious materials are stored is much more heavily guarded. It took some time for the Man in Black to break through the blockade and gather the materials he wanted.
By now, the Loyalists should have discovered the anomalies of the members of the action team who had returned to Odoran, and the men in black slipped away while the other party was focusing on those anomalous personnel.
Before the royalists could react, the men in black had already left the territory of Odoran.
Two days later, the men in black were back in Serbia.
The reason why Viroya got mixed up was that she used all the energy she used to buffer.
It can be understood that a battery uses up all its cathode materials.
Now Wei Luoya is replenishing the cathode material independently, waiting for the restart of the cycle, but she is already in a state of serious injury, and this process takes a long time, and now is the time when she is very needed, there is no way to wait for these times.
What the man in black has to do now is to use alchemy and Taoism to replenish Veroya's "cathode material" in advance to the prerequisites for the cycle to continue.
The man in black came to the Kahlan Mansion and spent some effort getting rid of the sensitive Anna White Cat before entering the bedroom where Viroya was.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, the man in black could feel the fluctuation of the scan constantly guarding the room.
The man in black hurriedly set up a shielding circle according to the method Sikong said, which avoided the counterattack that alarmed Wei Luoya's autonomous defense system.
wiped his cold sweat, fortunately, he asked Sikong about Wei Luoya in advance, otherwise he might have almost confessed here today.
How could the man in black have imagined that a war machine with energy already below the pre-cycle level would be able to maintain an autonomous defense system?
In order to avoid any other means that the man in black did not know about here, he hurriedly arranged the prepared magic circle and alchemy matrix, and then began to drive the compound array to speed up Viroya's recovery.
After doing all this, the man in black hurriedly left the place.
The next second she left, Margarita appeared in Viroya's room with a bloodline sword in her hand.
She cautiously searched every nook and cranny of the bedroom, and there were no anomalies other than a few alchemical fluctuations, which baffled her.
It was at this time that Veroya woke up.
With Viroa's awakening, things like Kimchi and Kirsten's healing can begin.
In Kirsten's case, due to the timely removal of part of the limb and the transplantation of bone marrow, there were no major problems in itself.
But Kimchi's situation is a little different.
He was only temporarily suppressed at the time, and then he continued to undergo surgical removal, which prevented further deterioration of the blood condition.
The problem now is that the repeated use of the bloodline sword and the flesh removal operation to suppress it, and a large amount of silver blood to repair these wounds, has caused obvious abnormalities on Kimchi's arm.
It can be seen with the naked eye that Kimchi's arm is obviously much more slender than the other, and in terms of color, it has completely lost its flesh color, all silver and charcoal black.
The final treatment had no choice but to direct all the activated blood veins to the mutated arm and remove it.
However, this solution was soon rejected. This is because the removal of the arm is likely to stimulate the remodeling of the already activated blood vessels.
At that time, it is likely that half of the entire body will no longer be under Kimchi's own control.
So now we have to keep this arm, then we have to turn this arm into a powerful seal to suppress the constantly activating bloodline.
So Viroya and Kirsten developed a set of arm armor together, this arm armor will cover Kimchi's already mutated arm, and the alchemy matrix on it and the device inserted into the arm will effectively suppress the bloodline.
The structure designed by Kirsten allows this arm armor to be fitted and Kimchi's arm to be used like a normal arm.
However, Margarita's blood needs to be replenished regularly, and the imitation bloodline sword in the arm needs to be activated.
After curing Kimchi, Veroya began to examine Felenvianoer and the baby inside her. This time, the knight in rune-covered armor didn't show up.
Although Veroya didn't know why this baby was so young and able to make Ferenvinoel so weak all day, she knew that if she continued like this, Felianvinoll would inevitably be in danger.
So, she used what she could understand about Eschour's biology to prescribe a program for Fellianvinoth that strengthened her body without affecting the baby too much.
It was a bit unsafe to do so, and Viroya tried to raise the alchemist level for Felian Vinoel. Now that she's only an authority level, Veroya intends to move up to at least the level of a mechanical sΓ©ance.
γ
Front line with hussar regiments.
Hecethia joined forces with the Spirit Lord, and cooperated with the hidden forces of the Rothil Kingdom and the Spirit Kingdom, and the army basically contained the offensive of the Hussar Legion.
Although the hussar corps is just as strong now, it is no longer the hussar corps of the past. After several fruitless attempts, the commander of the Hussar Legion abandoned the planned Great Expedition and entered into a strategic stalemate with the two nations.
In this way, in the central part of Middle-earth, a little west, a three-legged situation has emerged. Neither side is going to be the first to make a big move now.
In the short term, there will only be reconnaissance units or small groups of troops testing each other.
The Spirit Lord needs to preside over the internal affairs of the Spirit Kingdom, and there is no way to continue to let De La Loan continue to delay, and Hessehia has long wanted to return to Serbia.
Therefore, the two people, who are now the highest combat power of the two countries, tacitly withdrew from the front line at the same time.
The Spirit Lord, who returned to the Spirit Kingdom, began to rectify the rebellion that had just emerged in the country, and then pointed the finger directly at the government.
In order to save their lives, the Southern Government and Army Group South temporarily concluded a three-month ceasefire agreement with the Duchy of Dunling and the Duchy of Gaul. Both sides did not fire for three months in the areas they now occupy.
On the surface, it is said that it is for the humanitarian rescue of civilians who have been affected by the war, but in fact, the southern government hopes that the military strength of Army Group South will be used as a bargaining chip for itself to negotiate with the spirit master.
And the Southern Army and the coalition army have indeed consumed too much energy because of the battlefield of Dunling City, and they need to stop and rest.
Unlike the Cang Dynasty, the war machinery of the two countries has not yet been fully activated, so they can breathe a sigh of relief and recuperate.
It's just that most of Army Group South and the Southern government, or even the coalition forces, may not be aware of the existence of the silver humanoids, and some people just think that the core industrial area is polluted by subspace.
And after Hecehija returned to Serbia and learned about the accidents that had happened these days, he began to use his advantage in alchemy to start studying all things alchemy.
Many new alchemy and alchemy matrices have been developed, and many old alchemy and alchemy matrices have been enhanced and improved.
In order to give Serbia a stronger defense in his absence, Hecehia is now training Serbia's alchemist troops with Reinhardt, and perfecting Serbia's alchemy with Margarita and Kirsten is just a reserve.
γ
Although the Loyalists in Australia discovered that the members of the task force who had returned to Australia had been taken under control and that their material area had been stolen.
But that's all, there are no big conspiracies.
After many investigations, the royalists did not find other anomalies, such as what planted the spiritual virus and so on.
This means that the people who infiltrated here with the help of those who were controlled by the squad members only came to get some precious alchemy materials, and nothing else was done.
Although it is a little difficult to understand why you have to steal the materials yourself, now that there is no problem, the establishment of a new South Loya Empire is on the agenda.
After more than a month of preparation, the royalists finally controlled a force to eliminate the other warlords in the land of Aodolan, and then decisively replaced all the top leaders of this force with their own people, thus controlling the whole of Odorand.
A week after the theft, the New South Loa Empire was established on Odorland.
The Duchy of Dunling, which could not even defend its own territory, symbolically signed an agreement with the royalists on the transfer of sovereignty over Odoran, and left Odoran with a batch of alchemy materials and weapons.
The other colonies where this happened were more or less the same result.
On the continent of Solaris, Ludwig re-established the Holy Kingdom, and signed various treaties with the Spirit Kingdom and the Rhine Kingdom, and legally gained sovereignty over the continent of Solaris.
The Spirit Kingdom needs to focus on the rule of the homeland, so it doesn't pay much attention to the colonies. Although the colony of Manchester is still under the control of the Spirit Kingdom on the surface, it is actually in the hands of the Holy Kingdom established by Ludwig.
The Rhine Kingdom and the Duchy of Dunling are similar, facing the two powerful enemies of the Zerg and the Spirit Kingdom, where does the energy come from to take care of a colony that does not have much value?
The Solomon Islands, with the unremitting input of the Southern Government, was finally broken and taken over by the Southern Government.
In Bangalna, the remnants of the Acropolis re-established a state. But the country is now facing dangers unknown to the local population.
The Rhine Alliance spied on this land, and the landing force returning from the belly of the Cangchao did not return directly to the Rhine Alliance, but suddenly landed in Bangalna at night and attacked the stronghold of the local Acropolis principality.
Although the rest of these landing troops were all forced conscripts, their combat quality was very poor, so that the commander who commanded the operation had to adopt a cautious combat method in the hinterland of the Cang Dynasty in the later period.
But how many soldiers can there be on Bangarna?
As a result, it was quickly taken by the forces of the Rhine League. These forced conscripts have long needed to vent. So the aftermath of that night was a bit miserable, and if it was placed in normal times, it would definitely be enough for everyone to be hanged ten times.
But special times, special circumstances. As a result, the military has not been held accountable for what they have done.
γ
The Daohuang Dynasty, after experiencing the alliance of vassal states of the expeditionary rebellion, the treasury was empty, but fortunately there was no famine, and the people of this year were able to pass it.
But this is based on the cooperation between the imperial court and the Daomen. So much labor was requisitioned to fight the war, and the farmland could only be planted by Taoist priests.
As a result, the outside of the city will become more dangerous due to the appearance of strange things.
Therefore, the Northern Expeditionary Army had an excuse not to disband and began to clean up these strange things.
The imperial court was very troubled by this, because these armies were no longer sealed. If it weren't for the fact that their boss had taken the initiative to disarm and return to the field, he would have been forced to raise troops to rebel when the time came.
The most important thing for the time being now is to pay the army's salary, otherwise the Northern Expeditionary Army will have a reason to rebel.
Therefore, the imperial court still needs to rely on Daomen a lot, and exchange gold and silver treasures from the Cang Dynasty by selling materials.
It's just that this will make Daomen grow stronger again, and it is unknown whether Daomen will compete for power with the Northern Expeditionary Army as some people in the imperial court think, or unite to kill the imperial court first.
It's really a skin with a tiger, a skin with a tiger.
The imperial court is now at its most critical moment. If there is no external trouble, then the internal worries will be infinitely magnified. Without the support of the treasury and the army, the imperial court is now tantamount to dancing on the tip of a sword.
Of course, there is another way, that is, to go west, go to the west to find those Middle-earth countries to fight, so that the war can once again gather the Daohuang dynasty into one.
Of course, this is a good decision, once the war is mired, it is likely that the army, the Daomen and the people will rebel, and the situation is much more serious than the current situation.
As the emperor of the dynasty, he is also sleepless at night. Although the major problem of the union of rebellious vassal states has been solved, there are still a few deep-rooted problems in the heart.
The thought of the expedition to the west had been rippling in his mind now. Maybe you don't have to touch the countries of Middle-earth, how about taking down the Continental Bridge first, and then taking down the Cang Dynasty?
In the war, the Northern Expeditionary Army was constantly consumed to support the army directly under the imperial court. Isn't Kang Huanghuang a good example?
γ
South Loa Imperial Fortress World.
The old reformist organizations began to rebel, and chaos began in an even more destructive way.
The ruling class obviously didn't care much about this, they had been in this position for many years, they had long been tired of the fortress world of the South Loya Empire, and it was time to start blatantly planning their escape.
If this is not the case, those family forces will also start to prepare for the escape plan, and then the escape window will be squeezed, and the chances of the rulers escaping will become very low.
Therefore, there is nothing to worry about now that the rebellion is fueled by the family forces. They see and only see it as a symbol of the total downfall of the ruling class.
Of course, resistance still has to be resisted, and the fortress world, which has not had a fight for so many years, is now in a fight.
A utopian lie has finally been punctured. The evil that people had been suppressed for a long time was fully released, and an unstoppable tide began to sweep through the fortress world of the South Loya Empire.
Of course, new and innovative organizations have been waiting for their chances.
By the time the ruling class was ready to flee, they were captured by the New Revolution that had been waiting for a long time.
The New Revolution had an army of people, so after a brief exchange of fire, the Eternals fell into the hands of the New Reform.
The next thing they had to do was to extinguish the fire that was now burning and re-establish the former South Loya civilization on the ruins.
I also know how glorious the South Loya civilization was back then, and how rotten the current empire is.
There are candle cultists among them, so the revival of candle religion is inevitable.
Outside of the shield of the fortress world, the living meteorite is undergoing a lot of experiments, and is about to break through the boundaries of the current civilization level.
γ
Serbia continues to build itself. The civil service system began to be put into use, and Ferlian Vinoel's workload became much less with the awakening of Viloya.
Every day, I accompanied Kimchi, who was still in the hospital bed, to take it according to Viloya's prescription, and then took a walk in the garden of the Kalan Mansion.
Kimchi needed to stay in the hospital to continue treatment because of the rejection of his arm. There are still many surgeries to be performed on the slender mutant arm, and the arm armor is also being made.
The Aerospace Fleet has added a new destroyer, which has an additional lifting command center device on the original basis, which is the lifting command room originally conceived by Kirsten.
A new rocket launcher device has been added to the firepower configuration.
The development of the army and navy was decent, and the Knight Brigade no longer needed Kimchi's worries after actual combat training, and according to the feelings of the surviving Knight operators, Kirsten began to optimize and improve the Steam Armored Knights.
On the economic front, Serbia and the Continental Bridge will continue to cooperate and begin to develop the interior of the Continental Bridge.
During the war years, valuable alchemical materials were often sought-after on the black market, so large sums of money began to pour into Serbia's development.
The kidnapped Prime Minister led the civilian officials to put pressure on the military, and the military could only grit their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
The partial surrender of power is inevitable. The military, which had intended to continue its crackdown on Serbia's development, has now had to abandon its original plan.
In the end, Middle-earth, which had been in the midst of war, suddenly lost the flames of war and returned to a short-lived peace.
But this was only the calm before the storm, and after this brief silence was broken, it was even more turbulent, and the storm that would determine the final pattern of Middle-earth was coming.
At that time, whether it is the holy kingdom on the continent of Solaris, the new South Loya Empire established by the royalists, or Serbia will inevitably be caught up in this storm.
