When the fire in Longwind Fortress started, Gawain was preparing to end the connection with the satellite.
Although he could not see clearly, he could confirm that the border negotiation had ended. Judging from the fact that the two groups did not fight, even if the negotiation did not succeed, it at least did not turn into a national war. Therefore, when the king returned to Chang After the Wind Fortress, Gawain was ready to temporarily end his attention to that area.
Then, the fire started to rise.
It was a fire that started from inside the fortress. From the satellite images, there was no sign of any external attack. The fire spread in the western area of the fortress, but it never spread outside the western area—— It looks powerful, but it seems to be the result of human control.
Something happened.
Gao Wen immediately made a judgment, and then tried hard to adjust the focal length of the satellite lens, but no matter how he adjusted it, due to the aging of the satellite lens itself and the obstruction of the smoke and flames, he could not see clearly what was underneath. Whatever happened, only one thing was certain - something earth-shaking was going to happen tonight.
He did not hesitate to call Hetty who had not yet slept, and summoned the knights Byron and Philip who were preparing to rest.
Hetty was startled when she saw Gawain's serious and gloomy face. She stopped her yawning and looked at Gawain curiously: "Ancestor "What big thing happened when you summoned us so late?"
Gawain was stunned for a moment. It seemed very difficult to explain the source of the news to others, but after a brief hesitation, he But he spoke decisively: "There is a situation in Changfeng Fortress. I suspect that Francis II is in danger - fatal danger."
"What?!" Byron was so shocked that his jaw almost made a sound, The middle-aged knight's eyes widened, "Lord, your news is reliable... No, how did you know this news?!"
This place is thousands of miles away from Changfeng Fortress. It was impossible for the situation to reach Cecil so quickly - Byron heard it clearly. Gawain said that Francis II was "in" danger, and his tone was as if he had just seen something with his own eyes!
"Special information channel," Gawain glanced at Byron without changing his expression, and decided to use the most unreasonable "I am your ancestor, so I know everything" logic to ignore this detail. , "In short, we must be prepared for the death of the king-even Prince Edmund."
This shocking turn of events stunned the three people in front of Gawain, and Knight Philip subconsciously He put his hand on his chest and recited the name of the God of War: "Kyle, God of War...what will happen tonight..."
"If the king dies on the eastern border...Ansu will definitely face war. Hetty quickly began to deduce, "The key now is the relationship between all this and the Typhons..." Before Hetty could finish her words, the study window was suddenly blocked by a pair of invisible eyes. I pushed my hand away, feeling a chillThe night wind swept into the house, and Amber's figure jumped lightly from the window sill in front of Gawain - she was panting violently, obviously rushing back all the way as fast as possible.
In fact, in order to rush all the way back to the Lord's Mansion from the southernmost point of the Disobedient Fortress, she squeezed her shadow power to the brink of the limit for the first time in her life. By constantly traveling between the shadow world and the real world, She ran almost a day and a half in just half an hour!
Amber obviously didn’t expect that there would be Hetty and others in Gawain’s study. She opened her mouth to shout out the information and immediately swallowed it back. However, she noticed that Gawain was serious and asked questions. After the look on her face, she still said the words: "The king is dead! Prince Edmund committed patricide!"
Just now Byron was shocked by Gawain's source of information, and now it was Gawain's turn. The source of the news that shocked others, he looked at the half-elf in front of him in shock: "How do you know?"
Is it possible that there is a geostationary satellite behind this shame of all things?
Amber took a few hard breaths to catch her breath, but when she spoke, she suddenly struggled with how to say this - what she saw was too bizarre, from some kind of shadow world. The space rift traveled to the border of the kingdom, and then brought one of the regicides back to the south from the border of the kingdom. Later, Solderin and Tyr beat him half to death in a daze...anything in between. Taken alone, it seems dramatic and like a joke, but it actually happened!
Finally she sorted out her words: "We discovered an ancient space rift in the Shadow Experimental Site - the rift is located on the side of the Shadow Realm. I went over to check the situation, and after passing through the rift, I arrived at Changfeng Fortress. inside, and then saw with my own eyes that the king was killed by an old man. Prince Edmund was watching from the side, obviously an accomplice - and then I was discovered and had to evacuate quickly, but I didn't expect that the old man followed me. , but Solderin prepared a good response in the Shadow Experimental Field, so the old man was beaten by Solderin's Iron Rangers with four explosive shots, and now he is tied into a ball by Tyr..."
"What is this and what..." Gawain looked at Baba's amber dumbfounded, and immediately reacted, "Wait a minute, you said you brought someone here? And he was captured alive?!"
"Yes! So I'm here to tell you to hurry over and see the situation!" Amber patted his head, "You'd better hurry up - the old man was tied up by Tyr, but Tyr's posture was a bit It’s scary, I’m afraid that that sea caterpillar monster will eat the old man!”
Gawain wanted to shout out loudly that everything was so messed up tonight, but in order to maintain his image as an ancestor, he had no choice but to say: He suppressed all the complaints in his bronchus and nodded seriously: "I'll be there right away."
Then he turned to look at Hetty and the others: "Hetty, go and sort it out right away. Wartime status list, I will try my best to come back before noon tomorrow, and before that you convene the business, agricultural, and industrial directors in the territory to prepare for an emergency meeting.Byron, Philip, and the 1st Combat Corps have entered the highest level of combat readiness and are ready to escalate to war status at any time. In addition, Philip, you will go to Kande tomorrow and send an order to Knight Walder Perici to ask the Second Corps to strengthen their precautions, especially pay attention to whether there are any changes in the noble territories in the north. If so, report them as soon as possible. ”
The northern part of the Kant Territory is the Carol Territory, the main gateway to the Holy Spirit Plain. It can also be regarded as the buffer area between the kingdom’s hinterland and the southern border. According to the fire situation inside the Changfeng Fortress and the Amber Belt Based on the intelligence coming in, Gawain believed that this might be an appalling palace struggle, which might even be more dangerous than the civil strife in Fog Moon that year - all the nobles in the kingdom might be involved in a melee, although he believed that the kingdom would be in a state of chaos for a long time. The southern border may not be involved in this turmoil soon, but he still has to find a way to guard against the threat from the Holy Spirit Plains.
Of course, another reason is that he wants to make the army unstoppable. The stable Second Corps has something to do to prevent the knights who have just pledged their allegiance and the former Kant soldiers who have just begun to receive Cecil's military training from problems when the situation changes.
See Gawain. About to get up and leave, Hetty couldn't help but ask: "Do you need to find something for Rebecca to do? She is Cecil after all..."
Rebecca is the current only heir of the Cecil family. Although she is neither good at internal affairs nor military, Hertie's traditional aristocratic ideas still make her She felt that Rebecca should also be involved in these things.
Gawain gave Hetty a deep look: "Let Rebecca have a good rest and go to the Magical Technology Research Institute as usual tomorrow. Developing vehicle chassis or printing machines—these things she did were as important as preparing for war. "
Then he added: "Hetty, times have changed. People's responsibilities should be determined by ability, not blood. "
After saying these words, Gawain and Amber left the Lord's Mansion together.
......
In the Shadow Experimental Site, Solderin and soldiers are on guard around the waterhole, while the Siren Tyr still maintains the terrifying and refreshing "Sea Demon" form, controlling Clement's actions with a large number of tentacles.
But in fact. , even if she doesn't have to tie up the unlucky guy with her tentacles, the latter has almost no strength to resist or escape.
The power of four explosive shots is no joke - in Acanthosis and Life Transformation. After the forceful life-renewal effect ended, the unprecedented weakness almost killed Clement. If Tier hadn't discovered in time that his "prey" was slowly dying, Clement would have been a corpse by this time.
"I'm telling you, you must not die," Tire repeatedly slapped Clement's face with a tentacle, making the enemy who had fallen into a trance wake up again and again. , Miss Siren's tone was full of worry, "If you die in my hands, I will never have to count on those 'little cookies' collected by Gawain..."
Obviously, this siren lady has not given up the idea of killing the corpse of the "God of Nature" in Gawain's hand...
Solderin looked at Ti with a strange expression. I used just the right healing skills to kill the prisoner again and again, and used my tentacles to interact with him in a weird way. I couldn't help but ask: "Don't you really think that your current form can scare people to death? ?”
Tier looked down at his scale-covered upper body and the ferocious and weird lower body tentacles, with a confused look on his face: “I don’t think so—our sisters over there are all like this...”< /p>
Solderin muttered helplessly: "...What kind of aesthetics do you sirens have..."
"Whoever can change the most looks is beautiful," mentioned Er replied matter-of-factly, "Everyone is deformed anyway, and their normal appearance is just as long as they want..."
Gawain arrived when the atmosphere at the scene was so weird.
The first time he entered the Shadow Experimental Site, he saw Tyr, a huge and weird-looking creature that occupied the entire waterhole, and a lot of Tyr's writhing fish, which were larger than octopuses. Return the tentacles of the octopus.
His first reaction was whether he wanted to pass a sancheck...
"You'd better not stare at her tentacles," Amber, who was following Gawain, reminded her. He said, "Those patterned tentacles are very evil. As long as you stare at them, your mind will be affected immediately, and then you will become a particularly positive, optimistic, cheerful and energetic person, which will last for at least two hours... ”
Gowen: “? ”
What a mess!
