Although with the invention of the telegraph, which was a time-spanning one, the speed of information transmission was greatly accelerated. As long as you move your fingers, in the blink of an eye, it has been transmitted thousands of miles away. Compared with the past, when communication basically relied on roaring, there has been a qualitative leap.

In the eyes of these people, it is already miraculous, and their jaws are about to fall to the ground in shock.

There are even a few brick beasts who shamelessly pat the knight's ass, claiming that after their research, due to the contribution of the Flying Eagle Company to science and technology, the era in which human beings live now has basically reached more than ten percent of the age of the gods.

Almost everyone is satisfied, even a little afraid, with the technology they have in their lives.

Now in many places, those forward-looking dead plague students have begun to authorize Chapter 1071 (asking for a monthly pass) to write horror science fiction articles. What "Frankenstein", "The Devil", "Super Donkey Kong", "Doctor Incarnate", "The Conspiracy of Steam", "Currency Wars"・・・・・・

These creations, in turn, were adapted and spread across the continent with the travels of circuses and bards.

Those bizarre horror stories frightened the dead people with low cultural level, and they were stunned.

Many guys who are full of food and support are beginning to worry: with the development of technology, they will not have to work in the future, just eat and sleep, and have nothing else to do. How do you spend this time?

Those puppies who are worried don't eat well, can't sleep well, and lose a lot of hair all day long. I don't know what I'm going to do if that day really comes.

But Lord Luo is still dissatisfied with the current situation, at least now, he is infinitely nostalgic for the good old days when there were telephones, networks, and televisions.

You only need to put up with the advantage that the communication service provider only counts one minute as fifty-five seconds, and the rest is still very convenient.

If you have a phone call, you can immediately know that everyone is most concerned about the current situation of Edin Island in Chapter 1071 (asking for a monthly pass).

What's going on on the island? How many lichs are at work there right now? What's going on now?

These are not only things that everyone here is eager to know, but also things that the entire continent and all the dignitaries of the countries that have received the news are eager to know.

Lorraine felt like she was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, but she couldn't find a place to run down the street.

"If there were mobile phones that could be recharged now, Lao Tzu would take out gold coins and throw them in the face, and tell them to charge Lao Tzu for 90 years. Lorraine was secretly ruthless in her heart, but then she thought about it: "Uh...... No~!

Lao Tzu called the news station every day, and then deliberately owed a huge amount of phone bills, to see which grandson had the guts to dare to stop the phone call of Lao and the deputy commander of the army~!"

At this time, the telegraph room of the headquarters of the peacekeeping force has not been idle, and has been sending urging telegrams to the front, and according to the order of the military headquarters, all other unrelated telegraph transmissions on these lines have also been stopped, waiting for the news from Ettin Island.

However, there are more than a dozen or twenty large transfer stations from the city of Haligard to the Edin Island. Regardless of the problem at that node, it can delay the time on the entire line. If it was windy and rainy, the wires were broken.

And even if all the nodes are intact, it will take a certain amount of time for these stations to be transmitted.

On this day, the entire continent held its breath and waited quietly for news from Edin Island.

The transceivers sitting in front of the telegraph also knew the weight of responsibility, and they all stared at the telegraph with wide eyes, for fear that if they blinked their eyes, they would miss the signal.

But no matter how much they urged, they slapped the telegrams one by one, but they were all like mud cows, and there was no reply at all.

Finally, in the early afternoon, the latest news of Edin Island was returned.

The briefing sent by the Lord of Sulford gave a clear picture of the current situation in Edin.

In just one morning, the entire port area has been completely destroyed, and all the buildings in the port, including the residential area, have been burned to the ground.

Even if you defeat the Lich and lose the deep-water dock, you won't be able to dock a large number of large ships.

Unable to dock large ships, it loses the ability to handle and transfer goods. It is also equivalent to saying that the port function of this island has basically been abolished.

If you want to restore it to the point where it can be used, it is impossible to do it in a year and a half.

Lorraine was sure that the four steam engines installed in the harbor were finished, and even the investment had not yet been recovered.

Leo's little rascal originally thought that the battle would be more lively because the lich was coming, so he was even happier to hold a large bucket of popcorn and sit on the side and wait to see the show, but when he heard the news, his eyes immediately turned red, and he gritted his teeth and found a place to sharpen his knife, intending to find the lich desperately.

You know, those steam engines are all from the Flying Eagle Company. Each one is expensive. Although at the beginning, under Lorraine's repeated insistence, in order to share the risk, all the steam engines were insured.

But in order to save money, he did not take out this war accident insurance. Therefore, the loss of these steam engines is not covered by insurance, and in the end, all these losses will be counted to his head, although Lei Er Ye is also making money every day, but Lei Er Ye is also a bitter child, and his temper is the same as that of Lord Luo, and his money is all strung on the ribs. If you want him to pull out the money, you have to pull it down with a vice. Every penny hurts. Not to mention, it is still necessary to pay this kind of unjust money.

It's like poking him in the lungs with a stick, it's no wonder if he doesn't blow up. According to the detailed report later, although the battle has been fought until now, because of the suddenness of the incident, the former Rutherford City Lord is still confused, and it is impossible to determine the specific number of enemies, and the entire port area is shrouded in a strange fog, and no one who has gone in has come out again.

But it is certain that there is at least one lich, and the city lord himself will be surrounding the docks with tens of thousands of defenders and militia on the island, and waiting for an opportunity to launch a deadly attack on the enemy.

The military and civilians on Edin Island suffered heavy casualties, with thousands of people killed in the port area alone, and the number is even higher after a detailed count.

After reading the telegram, Lorraine also sighed helplessly, this kind of sneak attack similar to a terrorist attack is simply impossible to prevent.

The basic plate is so big that I don't even know where to guard.

At the beginning, he turned them upside down in the demon clan, and he relied on the advantage of guerrilla warfare, and quickly changed places after one shot, so that the enemy could only chase his ass.

The initiative is completely in your own hands.

Now it's Feng Shui in turn, and it's your turn to chase the lich's ass in circles.

From the day he landed on the Demon Continent, Lorraine knew that this situation would be inevitable - after all, 'come out and mix, after all, you have to pay it back,.

Go to other people's turf and toss each other by yourself. The enemy is also bound to come back with a frenzied revenge. I just didn't expect it to come so violently and suddenly.

Lorraine also secretly wondered in his heart: this kind of fierce style of success is not the practice of the lichs. Could the lich who attacked Edin Island be a death squad?

But the intelligence of Ettin Island was still not the most important telegram that Lorraine was waiting for, and Lorraine squatted in the telegraph station for a more important message.

Rumane City.

In November, the weather in Ruman has become bone-chilling, and everyone is wrapped in thick winter clothes, wrapping themselves like woolly bears.

Although the minimum temperature has hovered around freezing, the low temperature has not stopped the bustle of Ruman City.

Dabin is still crowded with vehicles and pedestrians, as in the usual hustle and bustle.

Just on the busiest main road in Ruman City, there was a sudden shout.

"Get out of the way~!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”

"Say you, squat aside. ”

There was a loud uproar among the pedestrians on the street, and passers-by secretly said in their hearts: Who is so bullish13, dare to drive on the main road leading to the imperial city, I really don't know how the dead word is written.

Just as the angry passers-by who were yelling at were about to turn around and scold each other, they were dumbfounded when they looked closely, and hurriedly went to the wall to the side of the road, watching people beat horses and run from the side, just because these knights who cleared the road were all heavily armed royal guards, and people knew that they were on official business at a glance.

It's okay if you stop a cash truck or fight with the driver.

Acting in front of official vehicles, it was in vain to be hit and killed by some BMW horse.

Behind the knight was a luxurious carriage, which the sharp-eyed Rumans recognized at a glance from the photographs of the carriage as the car of the chief of military affairs himself.

The people of Ruman City have long known that the military chief Padres is already semi-retired, except for the occasional meeting, he doesn't even go out of the door.

Today, the royal guards opened the way, and rushed to the palace in such a hurry, it was obviously the summons of Emperor Rudren.

Looking at this eager posture, the people on both sides of the road couldn't help but mutter: "This must be something big happening." ”

The enthusiastic ones simply set up a dragon gate formation on the street, the international shape shì, the domestic shape shì, the economic situation was chaotic, and guessed what was happening.

Sui Shun is a godson who is selling his wife's maternal uncle's sister-in-law's relationship with a big yamen such as a certain ministry and commission.

The convoy ran unhindered into the palace and in front of the main hall where the Council of State was held.

When Chief Padres climbed up to the conference room on the second floor, it was already full of heads of various departments of the Ruman Empire, and everyone was buzzing in whispers.

"What's the big deal that made us rush over in such a hurry?"

"How do I know, I just came back from an inspection, and dozens of beggars have frozen to death in the last few days, and I have been busy with this matter. ”

"Didn't you hear any wind?"

"No, the world is peaceful, and even the barbarians in the north have been frozen back into their caves to hibernate. I also said that I could live a little more comfortably this winter. ”

"Hey, why is the old man here?"

When everyone saw Padres appear, these bigwigs also knew in their hearts that this matter could not be small today.

"Maybe it has something to do with the military, either the northern or the southern front. ”

"Did Haddou get killed?"

"How could it be, it would have been preached throughout the city a long time ago. ”

At this time, the palace attendant pushed open the door and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is here~!"

Everyone in the room immediately stood in silence.

Emperor Rudrun walked in with a brisk footstep, followed by Prime Minister Russell.

Everyone in the conference room said almost at the same time: "See Your Majesty." ”

At the same time, he secretly observed Emperor Rudren's face.

I saw that this Ruman Empire chief Bos had a dark face, and his brows were about to be twisted together, in short, his expression was not good.

Seeing this expression, everyone's hearts sank, and he secretly said: The general situation is not good-, it seems that you have to be careful today, don't touch the obscurity.

Emperor Rudlun waved his hand and sat down in his seat, "Sit." ”

There was a sound of moving chairs, and everyone sat on either side of the long table.

Emperor Rudren pursed his lips and remained silent, pointing only at Prime Minister Russell.

Russell raised his eyes, and Shimmer's eyes swept over everyone, and said, "Gentlemen, we just got the shocking news that at least one of the Lichs has attacked Edin Island and completely destroyed the harbor. ”

After saying that, Russell was silent for a moment, giving everyone time to digest the news.

As the leader of the highest authority of the Ruman Empire, there was no doubt about the city government of these people present, although no one screamed, but their faces also changed color.

Russell said in a tough and firm tone: "This is the first time that our empire has been directly attacked by demons. ”

All eyes were on Emperor Rudren's face, waiting for the biggest boss of the Ruman Empire to call the shots.

Padres also had a stern expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "This means that our war with the demons has begun?"

Prime Minister Russell nodded, "This is only the first time, but it will definitely not be the last." ”

Padres clenched his fists, slammed the table hard, and said loudly: "We must resolutely fight back~!"

Russell said, "That's for sure. ”

"And what are we waiting for?" said Padres angrily, "Where is the closest fleet to Edin Island?"

Russell shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Both the Archduke Julian and the Governor of Lorraine believed that this was not an isolated incident and that we must treat it with caution. ”

Everyone was stunned at the same time, and Padres muttered: "It's these two old boys and little boys, that's noteworthy, what do they say?"

Russell said, "Both Archduke Julius and the Governor of Lorraine are certain that Haddou is in collusion with the Lich. The Lich's attack on Edin Island was most likely the support of Hhaddou in order to cut off the supply lines of the peacekeepers. ”

Padres nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, the consequences will be very severe." ”

Emperor Rudren said in a deep voice: "The enemy's goal is not just an island of Edin. That's why I've called you here today. It is likely that the demons will continue to raid our city. In particular, port cities that transport supplies for peacekeeping forces. In this case, we have to come up with a way to deal with it.

The tragedy of Edin Island will never be allowed to happen a second time. ”

Russell said: "My initial idea is to raise the security level of the country to a state of imminent war. Mobilize all the temples of the country. All localities were notified to be on full alert and strictly check the entry and exit of the population. Especially the city that serves as a logistics base for peacekeeping forces. To let the dark creatures of the demon race have no chance to mix in at all, this is the first priority. ”

Padres leaned back in his chair, touched the sparse white hair on the top of his head, and sighed: "When the enemy is dark and I am clear, all-out defense is the first place, and this is the only way for now."

What about the peacekeepers and Edin Island?"

Emperor Rudlun said: "The war of the peacekeepers has reached the most critical decisive time, and it must not be terminated under any conditions. Julius had also assured me that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would not retreat until he had received Haddou's head. ”

Padres nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise." In two months at most, we can achieve the final victory. ”

"As for the ...... of Edin," Russell said, with a strange expression on his face, "Governor Lorraine has said that he will personally go to Edin Island to deal with that lich. ”

Emperor Rudlun shrugged his shoulders and said, "This kid is undoubtedly the best candidate. ”

Russell's mouth twitched, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Emperor Rudlun glanced at his important ministers and said, "Your task is to cooperate with the Prime Minister to carry out today's decision, raise the level of vigilance, and at the same time stabilize the local order.

Tell the governors that one Edin Island is sufficient. ”

Emperor Rudrun pushed away his chair and stood up, leaving the venue with a light body.

"Adjournment~!" Russell waved his hand to announce the dissolution of the meeting, and then trotted all the way to catch up with Rud, "Sue Sù Lorraine, that kid," Emperor Rudren did not look back, and said as he walked: "Kill the filthy ones for me, and I'm going to hang their life boxes in my living room." ”

Before the lights turned on in the afternoon, the adjutant put a telegram he had just received in Lorraine's hand and said, "Call from the city of Ruman." ”

Lorraine quickly scanned the telegram in her hand, and it wrote two sentences, "Agreed, and bring me some of the Lich's life boxes back to decorate the living room."

Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: It seems that this majesty is also ruthless.

The Lich attack on Edin Island is no less significant than a Ruman version of Pearl Harbor.

Pull the Rumans, who are accustomed to bullying others, directly into a hard war. It is bound to cause an uproar throughout the continent.

In this case, as the big boss of the Ruman Empire, Emperor Rudren's opinion is undoubtedly the most important, and with his order, he can let go and decide how to act for himself.

Although for them, this is only a procedural matter, but without this procedure, it is not legal.

In the future, if any bastard also comes to play a day trip to Ruman City with his subordinates, it will be miserable - who knows if he will learn from An Lushan An Fat Man, or learn from Zhao Kuangyin and other heroes?

With this order, the next thing to do is really to get a few lich life boxes to send to the emperor, wash the blood with blood, and appease the anger of the Ruman people in this way, as the telegram said.

There must be an outlet for hatred.

A day later, with a low buzzing roar, a strange flying structure appeared above the heads of the peacekeepers. ！！！
