"How do you know?"

King Tyran still couldn't believe that the news of the artifact had popped up so suddenly. After all, the artifacts of the five ancient civilizations have disappeared together for thousands of years, and the dragons have also tried to find them, but they have no clue. And during this period, there were countless fake artifact-related news, most of which were fabricated by someone to deceive the dragon clan's treasure.

The news that the meteorite sent the artifact at this time was a bit too unbelievable.

According to the relationship between the two parties, Meteorite should not make up such a big lie, but his head is indeed a little confused.

"I naturally have my channel," Luke said. As for believe it or not, that's your business. The mess caused by this experiment is so great that I need to go to the palace immediately to meet the Empress and explain to her what is going on here.

Good bye! ”

"Again...... Goodbye......"

King Tyran saluted Luke and watched him return to the Clearsky Museum, then immediately flew with the dragons towards the Dragon's Lair in the Steel Mills.

The artifact was revealed, and it was enough to wake up all the sleeping dragons.

And the inexplicable surprise in his heart reminded King Tyran of the war thousands of years ago, the order of this world is getting out of control, and it seems that a war is rapidly approaching. And due to the addition of new large-scale civilizations, if a civilization-level war breaks out, the scale will definitely exceed that of ancient wars.

Dragons can't stay out of it.

And where is the position of the dragons?

King Tyran felt the need to return to the Dragon Kingdom and convene a meeting of the ancient dragons to tell them about the changes he saw in the world. With the news of the artifact and the King's Legacy, the Dragon Kingdom needs to reunite and send more dragons to the Golden Shield Empire's Shenglun City.

Even if it leads to an arms race, there must not be any mistakes in the recovery of the artifact.

Back at the Clearsky Museum, Luke returns to the palace with Agatha after meeting her.

In the royal carriage, Agatha said to Luke, "You seem to have done another great thing, what can you tell me, can you tell me?" ”

Luke sat across from Agatha, looking out the window at the street, and replied, "It's Clear Sky doing an experiment, but something went wrong during the experiment." The city blackout was not expected by us, and I don't know how much damage it caused, and I will do everything I can to compensate. ”

"Then I'm going to extort money from the richest man in the empire?" Agatha smiled and said, "It depends, did the experiment succeed in the end?" ”

"Although the results were not as expected, they were a success," Luke said. I was given a very powerful sword, and the strength of Clear Sky was further improved, and my safety during my visit to the Golden Valley was more secure. ”

Agatha worriedly admonished: "During this period, the World Bank has decoupled from the empire in many areas to threaten the empire to abandon its current energy policy. The contact between the Shining Gold and the Atlantic United also proves that their bottom line can be breached.

During your visit to the Golden Valley this time, it will be difficult for the Empire to provide you with assistance if the Glittering Gold people do not follow the rules. ”

Luke knows that visiting the Golden Valley is fraught with uncertainty and more dangerous than any other trip. If you want to be Liu Bang, Shuojin may not be Xiang Yu.

However, Luke comforted Agatha with confidence: "It was for safety reasons that Clear Sky and I conducted this experiment. Miss Sunny Sky's strength, you can be completely assured, I also have enough means of self-preservation.

As long as the World Bank's funding of Atlantshire United is delayed until the end of winter, we don't need to have too many scruples about the Sparkling Gold people in the future. ”

Agatha looked at Luke with a light in her eyes, "I believe in you, because you can bring me a miracle wherever you go."

This time, you and Clear Sky will not only be able to come back safely, but you will also be able to bring back the sound. ”

Luke nodded, "Yes, to bring the sound back, and also to deal with Pan and Leo." ”

Agatha said suddenly, "Dale has written to me. ”

Luke was a little surprised, because Clear Sky also received the letter from Dale, but he didn't. At first, I thought there was a delay in the distribution of the letters, but now Agatha has received a letter from Dale, indicating that there is no problem with the delivery of the letter from the CIA.

"What did she say?"

"Talking about her life at the Emerald Magic Academy and her elven companion who likes to use modifiers. And all her grades are excellent, so smart that people are jealous.

Finally she said......"

Luke, who was listening, paused at Agatha and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Agatha looked at Luke: "She blesses us!" ”

Luke smiled, knowing why Dale hadn't written to herself.

After meeting with Queen Christina, Luke began to prepare for a visit to the World Bank's headquarters, the Golden Valley. He first traveled from the city of St. Lun to the city of the Angry Waves, just as the royal ocean convoy returned to Haijiao Harbor. A newly built 10,000-ton dreadnought ship at the Cape Shipyard was launched, and the Royal Ocean Escort Fleet entered the stage of twin dreadnoughts.

After Sunny Sky arrived at Storm City with her retinue and the Moon Knights, Luke boarded the Augustine the Great, the flagship of the Royal Ocean Escort Fleet, with Clear Sky.

The Dreadnought-class steel battleship is 13,600 tons, with four twin 305 mm main guns in the front and rear, and as many as 22 other secondary guns. At the same time, the Dreadnought-class steel battleship is equipped with torpedo tubes developed by the Alchemist Association of Angry Waves, and the steam-powered torpedo has a range of up to 15 kilometers, and has a very high hit rate when there is an underwater guidance assisted by Naga warriors.

It can be said that the dreadnought-class steel battleships have no opponents on the current sea, and one ship is worth a fleet.

Luke's advanced knowledge of naval warfare allowed him to equip the dreadnought-class steel battleship with auxiliary ships and supply ships, and the first steel battleship was downgraded to a frigate, and then added enough airships to form this royal ocean-going escort fleet.

Such a luxurious fleet is unique in the world.

After a world cruise by the Royal Ocean Escort Fleet, all the nations along the way were deeply awe-inspired.

This is an escort fleet, this is obviously a fleet of annihilation.

With such a fleet, the area covered by the World Ocean in the future will be the final word of the Golden Shield Empire.

In order to catch up with the footsteps of the Golden Shield Empire, in order to prevent what happened in the Republic of Leo from repeating itself in themselves, and in order not to be choked by the neck at sea to collect protection money, various countries have launched the Dreadnought-class steel battleship project when the first aircraft class has not yet figured it out.

However, most coastal countries immediately felt the strain.

When the first machine-class steel battleship appeared, everyone felt very amazed and shocked, but it was far from a sense of powerlessness. After all, at that time, the development of all-metal battleships was a general trend, and many of them were at the doorstep, and after seeing the first machine-class steel battleship, he could also figure out and save one.

And the dreadnought-class steel battleship is not something that can be understood by looking at it, and the steel used to build the ship alone cannot be used to build the first machine-class battleship.

Artillery with a caliber of more than 300 millimeters, torpedoes that have never been heard of, and all sorts of advanced shipboard equipment.

The vast majority of countries can only sigh that such a giant ship can only be built by Angry Waves City.

It has also allowed a small number of countries with more ambitions in the sea to set up projects and participate in this maritime arms race with the strength of their whole country.

Atshire United is one of those countries.

The war with the Golden Shield Empire made the Artshire Union even more aware of a sense of crisis at sea. Their new fleet was still eager to fight the Furious Waves fleet, but when they heard that the Fearless Steel Battleship had been built in the Furious Waves, they immediately retreated.

The Artshire Union is very dependent on maritime trade, and it has to participate in this maritime arms race. Moreover, after learning that the Golden Shield Empire's Shoufu Meteorite was going to visit the World Bank headquarters, a delegation led by the speaker of the National Assembly immediately set off from the winter capital to the Golden Valley first.

At the same time, Leo also secretly sent a visiting group, and it was Pan who led the team.

Many countries that smell the crisis have also sent their own summit delegations to the Golden Valley, and it is conceivable that when Luke arrives, it will be a world-class summit gathering.

The Golden Shield Empire's royal ocean-going escort fleet with twin dreadnought-class steel warships and more than 20 ships of various types sailed out of Haijiao Harbor, and more than a dozen new steam airships of different sizes and functions took off to unfold an open air warning network.

The visiting group, composed of the Queen of the Clear Sky of the Moonlight Royal Court and the First Auxiliary Meteor of the Golden Shield Empire's Cabinet, officially set off for the Golden Valley.

After leaving the port, Luke said that the fleet did not need to be in a hurry. When you encounter a nearby port, you will go in and stop for a while, replenish your supplies, and then engage in local friendships, visit and party on the ship.

Let those who are far away have time to get to the Golden Valley.

Also buy some time for the Winter War.

The joint delegation of the Moonlight Royal Court and the Golden Shield Empire departed......

After the Artecounty Ice Cave agents returned the information they had received to the Winter Capital, the Artecounty Union immediately launched a winter offensive across the northern border.

However, unlike the Spring War, the Atshire United judged that the Golden Shield Empire's Snow Legion would still be on the defensive, after all, the winter battle was beneficial to the Atshire Coalition's side. However, the generals of the Artshire Union did not expect that in the face of the cluster advance of the Commandery's War Fortress, the Imperial Snow Army would rush out of the fortified city fortress and drive the War Fortress to launch an attack of the same intensity on the frozen ground.

The tall war fortresses collided with each other, the horns stabbed into each other's fortresses, and then the soldiers of both sides met in close combat.

Cavalry sabers gallop through the snow, and airships in the air dutifully cast war magic.

The Northern War entered its second year, and an unprecedented fierce battle broke out with both sides having offensive strategies. According to battlefield statistics, tens of thousands of casualties occurred in just one week of fighting between the two sides, more than 20 war fortresses were destroyed, and more than 40 airships fell.

The battle reached their respective commands, and the commanders of both sides realized that the ensuing battle would be a game of meat grinding. There is no dangerous terrain in the north that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and war is a fight for manpower, equipment, and logistics.

Knowing its shortcomings, the Federation is even more eager to support after the World Bank revealed its willingness to support.

Potrovic is the No. 2 man in Atlantshire United, the Speaker of Parliament, and he has an important responsibility to lead the team on this visit to the Golden Valley. It's just that after he arrived in the Golden Valley with the visiting group, he was snubbed by the Shuojin people, and the whole team stayed in the Shuojin Hotel, but he couldn't see a single high-level Shuojin people.

As the delegations from various countries arrived in the Golden Valley, the hotel was gradually filled with heads of state and dignitaries, and the businessmen who originally lived here were asked to leave by the people of the gold and live in other hotels and inns arranged by the people of the gold.

When his application to enter the House of Elders of the Shimmer was denied, Speaker Potrovich returned to his hotel residence in a bad mood and summoned Herkkin.

Now Helkegin has passed the steam engineer examination and resigned from the chief of the ice cave to officially enter politics. Because of his experience in the intelligence service, he now serves as the left officer for foreign affairs at the Atlantshire Union. Because of his strong professional ability, he was favored by the speaker of the National Assembly, Potrovic, and joined the delegation by name.

"Your Excellency." Herkkin, who had come in, took off his hat and saluted Speaker Potrovich, dressed in a graceful tuxedo and a fashionable wig, without the ferocity he had been in the winter capital.

"Sit down!" Potrovich did not show the anger caused by the negligence of the shimmering people, and he was very friendly to let Herkkin sit on the sofa opposite him, and asked the attendant to pour a glass of spirits: "Your resume in the ice cave gives you a good working advantage in the foreign affairs department, and it is also the reason why I personally selected you to come to the Golden Valley with the visiting group.

If you do well this time, I can put you in a heavier responsibility. ”

Herkin bowed to Potrovic: "Thank you, Lord, for trusting me and putting me in good use." I've got in touch with the Icecave's agents in the Golden Valley, all of whom are my old subordinates, and they're all happy to work for the Speaker. ”

Potrovic said with a bad face: "Helkekin, the ice cave cannot be used by private individuals, this is an important item in the constitution of the county federation. Although you have obtained the steam engineer through your own efforts, if you can't cut the ice cave cleanly, it will affect your future career. ”

Herkin immediately said in a panic, "I'm sorry, Speaker. Now the gathering of dignitaries from various countries in the Golden Valley is an unprecedented grand occasion. If you follow the Ice Cave intelligence gathering process, some important information may be delayed in reaching you. Moreover, the agents of the Golden Shield Empire are also extremely active in the Golden Valley, and for the sake of your safety and the importance of this mission, I have to personally guide the ice cave agents here. ”

After listening to Herkkin's explanation, Potrovic's face softened a lot: "Our mission this time is indeed too important. Special events require special handling, and this time I won't care about your violation of the constitution of the county federation.

Is there anything important that I need to report? ”

Herkin knew that Potrovich was pretending to be angry, and he summoned him to hear the information gathered by the ice cave agents. However, his resume in the ice cave has always been a stain that cannot be washed away, and all the superiors want to use it, but they dare not really reuse it.

If there is no special event, it will be difficult for you to climb up.

Herkkin gathered his thoughts and reported to Potrovich which countries had arrived in the Golden Valley today, and which dignitaries had met with each other......
