Chapter 615: A Turbulent World (Thanks to Alliance Leader Xiao Qin Mumu, Second Update)
Under the anxious gaze of Birch and Inkwind, Ian, who had theoretically passed out, calmly watched as they contacted the pilot of the Pumice Flyer, and used their emergency contact facility to contact Master Gossai and the Eren family.
The pilot's injuries are not light, and they also want to be treated as soon as possible, and they also know very well that in the case of the fourth level powerhouse starting the battle again, it is useless to contact the surrounding troops, God knows how many people have been injured - and they know very well that the forces behind their passengers must be not small, and they will be able to get treatment when the time comes.
What's more, they also felt the power that Ian had just burst out...... Almost the second energy level!
- Could it be that the potion he just drank was ......
Such thoughts flashed through him, and a call for help was sent.
At the same time, a swift flash of light lit up from the direction of the Avak Collar and pierced in the direction of the thunderbolt explosion!
[Kador, you have overstepped the rules!] γ
[Angry? Mikael? But it's no use getting angry β you can only blame yourself for being careless! γ
The King of Celestial Flood let out a maniacal laugh, and although he could only dodge in the face of Mikael's angry counterattack, he would be happy as long as he could get in the way of the Empire and Grand Duke Thorin - and in this way, he could also vent a little frustration at the total destruction of the personnel.
In the Awak Territory, the battle between the strong is not over, and this will also set off a prelude to even greater disputes in the future.
But for Ian and his party, this trip to the Westside has come to an end.
Imperial capital.
Master Gosai is conducting an alchemical experiment with biotoxins, and Isengard and other alchemists are working on him to record the data.
But suddenly, his private number, the communication device that would only be connected when 100,000 times of emergency, suddenly vibrate.
The master stopped the experiment, and everyone turned their eyes to him.
"Something. Big things. β
Master Gosai solemnly addressed all the unknown people, and then motioned for Isengard to come over.
"Is it Ian?" The blonde-haired aristocratic boy frowned slightly, and he was keenly aware that this sudden accident had something to do with Ian - in fact, there were no more than seven people who had the private number of Master Gosai, and half of them were in the imperial capital, so there was no need to call this number at all.
Only Ian, who went on a mission to the Avak region...... Originally, Isengard was a little worried, but now the worry has turned into reality.
"Hmm. There was an accident on his side. β
Master Gosai had finished reading the words that appeared on the crystal board, and Birch's brief words made him sketch out the situation of the Avak Territory in his mind.
- The surprise attack of the King of Tianhong, the flying machine exploded out of control, in order to protect himself and the frost butterfly, so he temporarily took the second level of the goblin potion to advance, although it was said that his life was saved, but now he has fallen into essentia disorder......
The situation is not only urgent, but if everything is true, it can be said to be fatal.
Temporarily taking potions to break through, although theoretically there will be no sequelae as long as you recuperate, but it is not strange to die on the spot, and it is no wonder that Ian wants to go over to help, this is indeed something that no one can do except for the alchemy master.
But to be honest, Master Gosai didn't think anything was going to happen to Ian. Not only was he not worried, he even wanted to laugh a little.
- Seriously injured? Temporary? What are you kidding, Ian was able to fight back and forth with Patrick when he was in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, and his face was connected with an alchemy cannonball, and he still needed to break through the second energy level temporarily?
It's just that Master Gosai understands very well that since this news is coming from Ian's side, it must be part of his plan.
And he may have been asked by him to help him make a 'lie'.
- Spreading information through my mouth, that's what he's for.
Thinking of this, the old man smiled slightly in his heart, and on the surface, his expression was very solemn, and he said to Isengard, but also to the researchers in the entire laboratory: "Because of the attack of King Tianhong, the pumice flying machine he was riding was shot down by the aftermath, and at this critical juncture, he chose to take the second-level goblin elixir, broke through the battle, and saved his life." β
"But now he's badly injured and in dire need of help. We'll have to leave as soon as possible and head to Avak to get there. β
The first-hand information was disseminated, and many of the researchers in the laboratory looked at each other in shock, making eye contact with each other.
Isengard's pupils dilated slightly, and he was obviously shocked,
But soon, he regained his composure and took out an extremely tiny vial from his bosom, probably about the same size as the nail cap of his little thumb: "Do you need to trace the source of Dettol?" I have a small bottle of ...... from my mother here."
If you are an ordinary person, you will be extremely worried when you hear that your best friend has been seriously injured that may affect your life. Because they can't change the outcome of this tragedy.
But for Isengard, not to mention that he believes that Ian will not be unprepared, even if there is a real accident, he can help.
"It's measured in drops, not bottles. And why do you carry it with you? Master Gosai sighed, but also thought of something, so he nodded, "Take a drop with you." In short, be prepared. β
"But I think that since Ian dared to do this, he must have thought about the consequences, and even thought about the preparations."
"Hmm." Isengard replied briefly, he had always believed in Ian, but he still felt uneasy in his heart...... And a hint of surprise.
"Second energy level...... Sure enough, the potion materials he asked for before had already been made into potions...... At that time, his alchemy level was already higher than mine. β
The blonde boy muttered to himself, "Even if it was a risky breakthrough, it was successful...... Go one step ahead of me. β
"Sixteen-year-old second energy level...... It's Ian. β
With such feelings.
Within five minutes, Master Gosai and Isengard were from the Imperial Capital and galloped all the way to Avak Territory in a flying machine.
They soon arrived on the scene and transferred the 'badly wounded' Ian back to the imperial capital.
Everything is so natural.
Then the world changed.
β¦β¦
A calm male voice rang out over the radio.
"On September 19, 773 in Terra, the mutation disaster that occurred in the Grand Duke of Thorin in the Western Realm, the Viscount of Avak, has been identified, and it is caused by the loss of control of the large psionic laboratory jointly hosted by Viscount Avak and Flying Flame Land, which is actually the central stronghold of Flying Flame Land in the Western Realm, including but not limited to rotting fungi, mad fog, rhizomes, black leaf fungi, locus and other biological weapons are developed here, and spread in other regions of our country."
"This has already caused great harm to the people of the Empire, and the residents of the Western Realm and the surrounding South Ridge will definitely not ignore the demonic beast attacks that have occurred one after another in the past seven or eight years. Warcraft are certainly dangerous, but only limited to their habitat, as long as they do not go to dangerous areas, Warcraft will never invade the territory of humans, which is a fragile relationship between them and humans with a certain amount of wisdom. β
"However, this balance has also been disrupted by the destruction of the Flying Flame Land, and they intend to create a crazy army of demonic beasts in the Baisen Mountains, cutting off the connection between the Nanling Province and the center of the Empire, and at that time, they will brazenly launch an invasion and open a road through the Golden Fields."
"Their madness has been met with retribution, and a righteous unknown researcher has objected to the atrocities of Flameland, intent on stopping Flameland from experimenting with an extremely lethal psionic weapon being developed in the territory of the Empire at Avak Central Laboratory. He succeeded, but also failed. β
"The explosion of psionic weapons inside the laboratory has led to a huge phase change of the Shala, affecting several cities in the Viscount of Avak, killing all of its inhabitants, and the number of survivors is very small at present, most of them are the lucky ones who have left the killing center before the disaster broke out."
"At this point, the actions of the Flying Flame Land are already frenzied, but they are not satisfied, and their leader, King Kador of the Heavenly Flood, in order to seize the dangerous psionic weapons remaining in the laboratory, and his Royal Highness Mikael, the second prince of our country, started a great battle in the sky above the Avak territory, and was ridiculously defeated. According to the 'Sacred Mountain Covenant', the fourth-level powerhouses defeated by the Psychic Body will not be allowed to continue fighting. However, he violated the covenant and continued to attack, and in order to erase the evidence, he continued to attack after the defeat, completely destroying the center of the Avak Domain. β
"This is a provocation against the Empire, and we will definitely not tolerate it."
"Viscount Avak himself is a traitor to the Empire, an anti-humanity who should be exterminated, but the inhabitants of the Avak Realm are still citizens of the Empire, and our death is heartbroken, let us observe three minutes of silence for them."
"End of silence."
"Next, I would like to give the floor to His Highness Mikael."
Another clear, magnetic male voice rang out.
"Citizens of the Westside and Southridge. I'm Mikael Sattar. β
"We've had the toughest time. In the past ten years, the Flying Flame Land has carried out resolute infiltration and interference operations against our country, whether it is biological warfare or simple espionage sabotage, the special operations team of the Flying Flame Land has given us great turmoil and losses. β
"What has happened in these ten years is even more painful to me than the desert confrontation with the Flying Flame Land during the time of the first emperor, because in those days, we were not the passive side of the attack, the enemy invaded, we fought back, and if the enemy moved, we struck. But in the past decade, when the insidious special operations in the Flamelands unfolded, we didn't even know that they had inflicted all this pain on us, and we were still worrying about ourselves, wondering if we had done something wrong to make it happen. β
"This caused great social upheaval, and some even wondered if it was the Empire's policy of exploiting the primitive regions that led to some kind of retribution, which made mothers weep, fathers grieved, our children without elders, and our old people empty. It seems that we should stagnate and do nothing, and wait for the fruits to fall from the sky. β
"Citizens, now I'm going to tell you that all of this is caused by the Flying Flame Land. In the past ten years, all the pain, all the turmoil, whether it is the rotten fields, the rioting monsters, the inexplicably deserted villages, and the many missing caravan travelers, have basically been part of the Flameland operation. They can't stand by and watch us continue to expand our territory and exploit our resources, they can't stand us getting rich and powerful, they can't accept that we are once again the greatest nation on Terraβthese clowns want to crush us, using the most shady and vicious methods to cut our roots and pierce our pillars. β
"And I'm telling you, they're wrong! Tough Imperials will not be defeated by intrigues! β
"Now, thanks to the efforts of the governors and lords of the localities, as well as the alchemists of the Alchemy Society, our farmlands are recovering, the seedlings are growing, our cities are returning to peace, and the workshops are resuming production. Their days are over, and the next step is revenge. β
"I declare that the Westside and Southridge are in a state of total combat readiness, and we will not allow the smiling clowns to continue to use shady means to bleed our people, they will be defeated by us, and they will be defeated by all the people with enthusiasm and ideals, and they will never be able to turn over!"
"It's time to swing this fist and smash it in the face of the Flamelands thug!"
β¦β¦
An impassioned female voice rang out.
"For the shameless slander of the Sertar Empire, we at the Flame Lands Alliance are dismissive. In the last decade, from the Karl Hills to the Bonning Mountains, from the fort complexes to the coast of the Hazy Harbor, we have endured much of the suffering, such as red tides, withered trees, desertification, and several wildfires, all of which were the work of Imperial spies. We have the evidence, we are seizing their handles, and they are trying to make a rake at this time, which is the most ridiculous thing. β
"Here, I must emphasize that all our policies and actions within the Alliance, whether it is Abasarom or Nemathas, are aimed at enabling the members of the Alliance to live a better life and a better life. Although the reform was painful, the purpose of the reform was to enable the people to enjoy a richer material life as they moved toward an era of prosperity. And the Imperials don't want to see this, they will sabotage, they will hinder our reforms, and they will attack our weaknesses while we are vulnerable. β
"They send spies, infiltrate the city-states, make false arguments, distort the declarations of their leaders, make our ideals wrong, and intend to erase the fruits of our development through intrigues, and even intend to launch a public opinion offensive against us with some unwarranted things, using the threat of force to subvert our homeland where we maintain order together."
"They want to divide us and use all kinds of means to hinder our progress, which is absolutely not allowed."
"Brothers and sisters of the thirteen countries of the Flying Flame Land, our great citizens, the time of battle has come, we will solemnly announce that the four places of Arasea, Tianhong, Qingting, and Yanyan are the first to enter a state of full combat readiness, the threat of force from the empire is ridiculous and cowardly, their evil intentions will never succeed, in the face of threats, the response of the Flying Flame people since ancient times is a weapon!"
"It's time to fight, we're going to bury the villains who intend to destroy us with our own hands, and we're going to unite and unite under the banner of the Alliance to fight for what is good for what we have!"
β¦β¦
"We call on both sides to sit down and negotiate, the Alliance of the Flamelands and the Settar Empire are both indispensable forces in Terra and the main maintainer of peace on the continent, and the Church of Spiritual Machines does not want the war between the two countries to lead to a regression of key technologies......
"The Church of Huaiguang will shelter all civilians who do not want to be affected by the war, but we will not shelter any deserters, routs, and all the scavengers born of war. We reaffirm our credo: human beings have the right to choose, but the flames of war should not be directed against civilians who do not want to engage in war. β
"The Order believes that the deaths and losses caused by the war should be minimized in the last twenty years. According to the outcome of the Lonely Mountain Conference, over the next two decades, all countries should put aside their past grievances and work together to deal with the great threat that is coming. β
"We are in no way for any side to the war. The Panadolon of All Souls will withdraw all clergy and collaborators stationed in the martial law area to express our displeasure with those who have caused unrest. β
"The Seven Cities Alliance strongly condemns the ...... of the Flamelands"
"The Capital of Learning declares its absolute neutrality and is about to embark on further experimental voyages of the Aerospace Carrier......"
"The focus of the Far Shore Island is on the development of the New World......
"The five mobile armored units of Fort Junling are moving......"
"The Federation of Yanjiang announced that it has reached 15 cooperation agreements with the Republic of Ganterrigham, ranging from the interaction of agricultural products, light industrial products to mutual assistance in scientific research and ......"
β¦β¦
The world is changing.
The mutation of the Avak Territory was an excellent trigger, and no one wanted to tell the truth, the truth about the death of a million people. Grand Duke Thorin's shrinking power was exchanged for the tolerance of the Empire and the Flamelands, one believing that he had the upper hand, and the other knowing that the opponent's backyard would catch fire, and the rebellion of the Distant Flameland fortress group would deal a fatal blow to the opponent.
Through all of this, everyone got everything they wantedβthe second prince, Mikael, became the sole presiding officer over the affairs of the Flying Flame Lands, and the Westside and Southridge quietly became the places where his supporters gathered.
Two days later, the Byson Mountain Fortress and the Flameland Fortress across the valley exchanged shelling fire, and the two sides exchanged fire on the top of the mountain, and in the violent avalanche turmoil, three legions and seven fully armored divisions appeared in their respective fortress groups as if by magic.
In an instant, what was originally just a confrontation position became impregnable, and only then did the two sides react, it turned out that the other side had long been prepared for war.
A full-scale war did not take place, but a conventional armed conflict in the region was on the verge of breaking out, and the four major regions of the West, Southridge, and Flamelands were enveloped by the threat of war, and spies from all sides, emissaries, and spies of other forces roamed these areas, their intentions were unknown, but they had absolutely bad intentions.
On 21 September, the Desert Fortresses of the Flamelands lost contact with the Nemathas kings.
On September 22, the Seven Cities Alliance announced that it had reached an alliance with the Empire, and the fleet conducted exercises on the border between the two countries, in retaliation for the sinking of the Seven Cities Alliance merchant ships by the Flying Flame Land Navy three years ago, which forced the Nematas Alliance to divide its forces for confrontation exercises.
On September 23, the Canaan Moore envoy entered the imperial capital.
Afternoon, September 23rd.
Ian 'awakens'.
Wake up in theory he should wake up at the same time.
Wake up in this turbulent world.
