The Shining Gold Civilization, the Angel Civilization, the Purgatory Civilization, the Shadow Civilization, and the Dragon Civilization have all been very low-key since the end of the ancient wars. With the exception of the Glittering Gold Civilization, the other four ancient civilizations were all in a state of seclusion.

Even the Glittering Gold Civilization, which actively participated in secular trade, kept a distance from the political regimes of various countries and regions, and profoundly expressed its reflection on the initiation of ancient wars.

This time, the Glittering Gold Civilization sent a delegation to the imperial capital of the Golden Shield Empire, and the matter planned must be very important.

And the angelic civilization ......

Due to the fact that the Angelic Civilization was conquered by the Shining Gold Civilization during the Ancient War, the Angelic Civilization that was once an ally was not friendly to the Shining Gold Civilization. However, the almost reshaped angel civilization is very influenced by the Sparkling Gold Civilization, so it is not possible to say that there is much grudge against the Sparkling Gold Civilization.

In the thousands of years since the ancient war, angels have rarely left Sky City, and this time they even sent an envoy to the imperial capital of the Golden Shield Empire, and the matter they planned must be very important.

The officials did not dare to express their opinions without authorization, so Viscount Iscolan asked: "Lord Marquis, the Shining Gold Civilization and the Angel Civilization have sent a delegation here, what kind of etiquette should we use to greet us?" ”

Luke said: "The envoys of the Glittering Gold Civilization can be given national gifts. After all, the Glittering Gold people are in control of the World Bank, and the Empire is at war right now, and it's time to use the money everywhere.

As for the angelic civilization...... The reception specifications have been lowered by two levels. ”

"Down, down two levels?"

Viscount Iscolan thought he had misheard, and he suggested, "Lord Marquis, the Angel Civilization and the Glittering Gold Civilization are the same level of civilization. We give the Glittering Gold people the national gift, but we downgrade the angel mission two levels to welcome us, isn't it too embarrassing for the angel civilization?

Downgrade one level...... Or the same level should be more suitable. ”

Luke insisted on this welcome plan: "One brings money, the other comes empty-handed, if the specifications are the same, what does the Shimmer Jin think?" There is a contrast to show that I attach importance to the visit of the people of Shuojin, and the people of Shuojin are happy, and the things that follow are easy to talk about.

When the angels lose face, they will know how to deal with us. ”

Viscount Iscoran didn't know how the angel provoked the Marquis of Meteor, but the marquis arranged it like this, and he could prepare as a subordinate.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, we will come up with two plans for the welcome. May I ask what the shimmering gold and angels are visiting the empire for at this time, so we can prepare in advance. ”

Luke replied, "Just be ready." For the specific things to be discussed, Miss Sunny Sky and I are in charge. ”

At this time, Qingtian said, "Be polite to the guests, but show the appropriate force." ”

"Show force to the shimmering gold people and angels?"

Viscount Iscollan was a little puzzled, it didn't seem to be a friendly visit.

Luke said, "Miss Sunny Sky means what I mean. ”

Luke looked at the clear sky, his tone and demeanor exactly the same as when he was in control.

Clear Sky noticed Luke's gaze, and a faint smile appeared in the corner of his eye, as if he was showing off his acting skills.

Quirky!

Viscount Iscolan knew that he had better not ask too much about the Shimmering Gold and the Angel Mission, so he nodded and replied, "I know how to do it, please rest assured, Lord Marquis." ”

Luke withdrew his gaze from the clear sky and said, "The matter of receiving the Shining Gold Civilization and the Angel Civilization Mission has been decided.

Next, we're going to talk about the Spring War against the Atlantshire Union. ”

At the conference table, a magic projection projected a map of the battlefield in the north.

Now the main force of the Atlantic Union has retreated to the vicinity of the first line of defense built by the Empire in the north. There were fortresses and fortresses, which were suitable for large armies to be stationed for the winter because the Empire's northern legions retreated too quickly to be destroyed.

The main forces of the empire are near the third line of defense.

On the second line of defense, the Empire occupies Snowland and some of the surrounding forts, and the rest of it is occupied by the Artshire Union.

Neither side could afford to continue to launch a new offensive in the harsh winter, so they tacitly agreed to a truce and actively replenished their mobilized troops into the army in preparation for the spring war.

In the spring, the armored assault division of Nutao City completed the reorganization, and all equipment and weapons were in place, and it had a certain combat effectiveness.

Shelley, as the commander of the Angry Waves Panzer Division, tells Luke about the landing plan.

She pointed to a small town at the easternmost point of the first line of defense in the north.

"BenQ Insco City, with a population of 30,000, has a fishing wharf, 30 kilometers north of the port of Songta. The port of Songta was an important deep-water port in the northern part of the empire, and the railway from here ran through all the major cities in the north.

If we can use BenQ Insco as a springboard and land here to raid Songta Harbor, it will be equivalent to choking the entire north. At that time, a steady stream of troops and supplies will be delivered to Songta Port by sea, and then attacked all the way along the railway. If the Arte County Union does not want to be blocked by us, they can only take the initiative to retreat and hand over the encroached imperial territory. ”

Luke looked at the map and said, "The port of Songta is so important, and when the ice melts on the sea, the Artejun Union can also use the port and railroad here to supply their army."

It shouldn't be easy to attack here, and BenQ Insco City should also be among the key defendings of our opponents. ”

Shelley said: "Yes, after our early reconnaissance, Songta Harbor is heavily guarded by the Atlantshire Union. Throughout the winter, they were reinforcing fortifications, and it was difficult to complete the landing by a direct attack from the sea.

However, Benky Insco's flat terrain and soft ground made it difficult to build a heavy defensive offensive. As long as the Angry Waves fleet can provide a naval blockade, the Angry Waves Armored Assault Division can completely storm and capture Benki Insco. ”

Luke said, "The landing must be based on sea supremacy, is there anything to say about the Angry Waves fleet?" ”

Mrs. Tasia, who had been specially summoned to the meeting, stood upright, and she stretched out her hand to explain the sea area on the map.

"Of the all-metal warships built by Harut Heavy Industries, 14 of them have been launched, and an unknown number of them are under construction. According to the intelligence sent by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, the Sea Lion class is comparable to the first class of our capital ship and has the same combat effectiveness.

However, a large number of alchemy materials were used in the construction, and the cost was higher than that of the first class.

Our side surpassed the Atlantic Navy in terms of the number of capital ships, and the other side could only call on a large number of wooden warships to form a numerical advantage over us.

If the Angry Waves fleet starts in the spring and marches towards Songta Harbor as soon as the sea ice melts, the Atlantic Navy will not dare to transfer the Sea Lion class, which they are not yet familiar with, to Songta Harbor to fight the Angry Waves Fleet.

The blockade of Songta Harbor by the Angry Waves fleet will create a safe landing environment for the Angry Waves Armored Assault Division. ”

Since the beginning of spring, the Angry Waves fleet has also had a very large technical advantage and strength advantage over the Atlantic Navy. If you don't take advantage of this time to carry out the landing, send the Angry Waves Armored Assault Division to the north, and wait for the Sea Lion-class warships of the Atlantic Coalition Navy to have combat capability, and then land will have to take a greater risk.

Moreover, the Angry Waves City fleet can't defeat the Atlantic Coalition Navy in a devastated manner, if the Atlantic Coalition is scared and comes to the peace talks, the rest of the drama will be gone.

Traveling to the Winter Capital this time, Luke could deeply feel that the war potential of the Atlantic Union was far inferior to that of the Golden Shield Empire. The empire has the upper hand in terms of population and property, and as long as the war lasts for a long time, the resources of the Atlantic Union will be depleted.

When they went to harvest, they had no strength to resist.

Therefore, this war must be fought at the pace it should be, not too hasty and not too slow.

It's like cooking a good meal, with attention to detail and patience, to make a great dish.

Luke agrees with the landing plan jointly formulated by Shelley and Lady Tasia, and smashes the nail of the Angry Waves armored assault division on the key position in the north as soon as possible, so that there is room to operate.

Then there is the governance of the city of St. Lun.

A new broom sweeps clean.

If the officials of the Angry Waves City department want to justify their positions, they must make some political achievements as soon as possible.

First of all, the city's drainage system should be overhauled.

Then the city security bureau will be rectified to allow the city residents to recover from the panic of palace turmoil as soon as possible.

Finally, there is economic development.

The officials, who had been prepared for these issues for a long time, were asked by Luke, and they all answered each other fluently. The plan is also very detailed, and it is simple and clear at a glance.

They are all officials in the city administration hall in Nutao City, and they come to Shenglun City to do their own work, and business problems are naturally easy to grasp, without any difficulty.

As a result, the proceedings of the meeting were very fast.

But because there were so many things going on, the meeting went on late into the night.

The time for Clear Sky Awakening was long over, and she returned to the museum in a carriage under Luke's control.

However, the clear sky in the background can still communicate with Luke.

"Hey! There's one thing that bothers me. ”

Luke's consciousness asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Now you are clear skies, and when I awaken, I am also clear skies. How to distinguish between two clear skies? ”

Luke's mind was a little confused by the question: "Do you think it's necessary to distinguish?" ”

"Of course it's necessary. When you control the clear sky, Mu Ne is dumbfounded, and he has an expression all day long, not like an elf at all. And I'm a real elf, a passionate steppe elf. ”

"For me, a clear sky is just a tool and a weapon," Luke said. Most of the time I ignore her ethnicity, and gender, and don't do anything superfluous. ”

"But not anymore. I am a living being, with joys and sorrows, and naturally I have to distinguish myself from tools. ”

"How do you want to tell the difference? Is it going to give you a new name? On a sunny day, they are all surnamed Qing. ”

"Clear sky is a good name. I was created by you, and the name was given by you, and I will not change it.

Why don't you add an ☆ in front of the clear sky to represent me, which means my awakening. ”

"This ......" Luke imagined for a moment ☆ clear sky and said, "Does this make any sense?" I can tell the difference between the two of you. ”

"It may not make sense to you, but it makes sense to me. I'm going to leave a mark in your mind that distinguishes you from the clear sky of tools......"

Luke couldn't stand the sensationalism: "Well, since you think it helps you improve your self-awareness, I can accept that."

Starry clear sky. ”

"It's not the starry sky, ☆ think in your heart, not read it. You will know the ancient language of shimmering gold, and turn it into a common language that you and I know, a resonance point in our thoughts. ”

Luke was a little helpless by the complicated request, but he still complied with the request of ☆ Clear Sky and used the grammar techniques of the ancient Shuojin language to pronounce "☆" in his mind.

In an instant, Luke felt that one channel had been opened by himself, and his own consciousness was connected to another.

Different from his boundless pure spiritual space, this consciousness space is a starry sky. The Milky Way runs through the sky, and the shining stars are like pearls embedded in the sky.

A full moon hangs on the banks of the galaxy.

You can vaguely feel that the stars in the sky are exuding great power and converging towards the galaxy, and all of them are gathered on the moon.

The moonlight swayed down like a screen, and in the silver light stood the clear sky.

It is ☆ clear sky.

Her eyes were closed, and she was as quiet as if she had fallen into a meditation.

Luke called her name.

☆ Clear Sky opened his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly, it seems that the two of us really have a tacit understanding!"

Luke looked up at the starry sky and the full moon on the banks of the galaxy and asked, "You didn't come out of thin air with a clear sky awakening, who are you?" ”

☆ Clear Sky smiled and said, "Come here...... Wisdom like you should be able to guess the answer. ”

Luke guessed, "You, the real Queen of the Moonlight!" ”

"That's right, but not quite." ☆ Clear Sky stretched out a finger and dangled: "It is the moon and this starry sky that shape my soul, and my soul is attached to your spiritual power to exist." This is actually an extension of your consciousness, and this starry sky belongs to you, including me......

The real Moonlight Queen, just one of your titles, I am the authority of the Moonlight Queen. ”

Luke was a little dizzy by the clear sky: "Why did you choose to tell me now." ”

"Because the Glittering Gold Man and the Angels are coming, whatever their excuse for coming to the Holy Lun City, it is for the World Tree. This is the only transcendent species that can evolve into an artifact.

They are unlike any of your previous opponents.

It takes not only wisdom but also strength to deal with them. ”

Luke asked, "I've been working hard to improve my strength, and I'm also researching ways to evolve the World Tree into an artifact. ”

"But it's too late, isn't it?"

☆ The clear sky floats, circles around Luke, and stops in front of him.

Luke asked, "Do you have a way to improve my strength in a short period of time?" Or do you have a way to evolve the World Tree into an artifact? ”

☆ Clear Sky showed a teachable smile, but said, "Nothing! ”

"But why are you?"

☆ Clear Sky shrugged: "I just want to invite you to come in and see this world that belongs to you and mine." By the way, I would like to remind you ......"

The routine is really unguardable!

Luke's face darkened.

☆ Clear Sky suddenly grabbed his arm, pointed to the sky and shouted excitedly: "Look, it's a meteor, it's a meteor!" ”

Luke looked up, and sure enough, a bright meteor quickly streaked across the sky.

Luke said lightly, "I want to see the comet." ”

☆ Clear Sky snapped his fingers: "Arrangement!" ”

A comet trailed from the distant sky.
