Gawain should have thought that no matter how much nonsense he talks to Tyr, a saltwater fish, it is not as effective as letting her eat a "small snack". Seeing Tyr's interested face, he felt that the pile of saliva just now It's all wasted.
But it’s not bad, the process is not important, as long as this saltwater fish is willing to help.
The verification-type Hongguang device is a very large weapon, and compared to its huge size, the supporting energy module required by the Hongguang device is even more troublesome. According to Kamel According to the technical report provided, the Hongguang device requires a long-term stable supply of energy to operate effectively. However, the magic capacitors currently used in various magic crystal rail guns cannot meet this requirement. This determines that a Hongguang device must be built in To turn a fixed magic net into a fixed fort, one has to "drag" a large area of magic net to the battlefield. With Cecil's current transportation technology, it is very difficult to transport the rainbow light device from land to the front line and ensure that it can be turned on. .
It's not that it can't be done - it can be done by sending parts piecemeal in batches and then constructing them on the battlefield, but it would take too long and is not consistent with Gao Wen With the requirement of "taking down the Rock Fortress in a short period of time", and with the skill of slowly assembling the rainbow light device, Philip should be able to blast open the fortress walls with the magic crystal cannon. In this way, the new weapons will be able to Completely lost the meaning of appearance.
The best option is to use a boat and use the natural waterway of the White Water River to deliver the rainbow light device directly to the foot of the Rock Fortress.
In any case, the transportation capacity of large cargo ships is far better than that of land vehicles, and the ship itself is large enough to facilitate the installation of various magic mechanisms inside, plus the ability to pass through rivers Regarding transportation, Gao Wen's plan of using the water from the Baishui River to cool down the rainbow light device is also easier to implement, so no matter how you look at it, water transportation is the best option.
In fact, even without the "Rainbow Device", Gawain had already been arranging to build his own surface combat force - after annihilating Count Pepper's army on the White Water River, he captured a He purchased the "warships" of the southern nobles, and then arranged a group of craftsmen and magical technicians to try to modernize and renovate those ships. It's not that he didn't think about building a new batch, but shipbuilding is really a technical activity. , the little written knowledge he accumulated as a keyboard warrior in his previous life was not enough to build a practical modern ship, and the existing shipbuilding technology in this world has experienced serious technological chronology and regression, and the shipbuilding craftsmen he can recruit are at best only He could build inland river ships of the same level as the ships of the "Pebo Fleet", so he had to choose to modernize the warships he captured, saving time and cost on the one hand, and accumulating technology on the other.
But the transformation of those ships is not yet complete - they have even recently encountered technical difficulties with power.
The war at Rock Fortress was about to begin. He did not have time to wait for his warship to be slowly renovated, so after much thought, he decided to look for the ready-made "water" in the territory."Luck Expert" came to help, and Tyr called himself the "Master of Tides." She should be trustworthy in this regard.
Of course, in line with his cautious and prudent style of acting, Gawain did not count on everything. Put it on Tyr - just in case this saltwater fish decides to sleep in the pool until the end of the world, he also has a backup plan: at worst, if he gives Philip a few more cannons, he's afraid he won't be able to open the rock fortress.
No matter how strong the magic shield of the Rock Fortress is, it can't withstand the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery.
He promised to help and confirmed again and again that he really had it. After eating the snacks, Tire's excitement slowly subsided, and she yawned widely, with sleepiness appearing in her eyes again: "By the way, are you okay? If nothing is wrong, I will continue to sleep... wait until I wake up and then go to the dock..."
Gawain glanced at the sea monster that had begun to slowly sink in the water, and suddenly he was really Thinking of something: "By the way, there is really something - the Son of the Storm is fighting the Kraken again, do you know what's going on? "
"Huh? Fighting again? Tier emerged from the water bubbling, with a cute look on his face, "Isn't this season just after the stars have returned to their positions?" My sisters should all be eating on the seabed... If we don't go digging for giant squid, and we don't go around the islands and reefs of the Son of Storm, why are those brainless humans so crazy? "
Gawain looked at Tire's confused expression from the bottom of his heart and frowned slightly: "So, you don't know what happened. "
"Of course I don't know," Tyr shook his head, "I've been staying under your nose all this time, so how could I know about the deep sea? But then again, how do you know this? Something? "
"I have my own information channel," Gawain did not answer the other party's question directly, but said perfunctorily. Then he noticed Tire's indifferent look and couldn't help but He asked curiously, "Aren't you worried about the situation in your hometown? "
"There's nothing to worry about. Those Storm Sons can't make any big waves. The ocean belongs to the Kraken," Tyr said casually, then yawned, "And it's a long way to swim back from here. Yes, I’d better save more energy... When I feel stronger... I will consider going back and have a look..."
Looking at the appearance of this salted fish spirit, Gawain felt that this guy He may not be able to go back in this life.
He shook his head helplessly, turned around and left Tire's pool with Amber, but when they were about to reach the door, there was a sound of water again. Suddenly came from the pool, Miss Siren stood on the edge of the pool and looked at Gawain: "Ah, I just thought of a possibility..."
Gawain turned around and looked at her: "What possibility? "
"The Endless Sea is shrouded in a magic storm. The sea is the first place where changes in magic power can be observed, and it is also the place most susceptible to the influence of magic power," Tire said with a thoughtful expression on his face. Look, "Those storm children have been at sea too long,Maybe... they can feel the demonic tide coming. "
Gawain's expression became serious. After being solemnly silent for half a minute, he nodded slightly to Tyr: "Thank you for the reminder. ”
Tiel didn’t say much, just waved his hands in the pool, then leaned his upper body backwards, and continued to sleep in that arrogant and domineering posture with his belly turned over and soaked in the water. Sleep.
After leaving Tire’s room, Amber couldn’t help but mutter: “Demon tide, magic tide… It would be great if this kind of thing didn’t exist… Every time someone reminds me, I will Feeling hairy all over. "
"It's good to get used to it. We were closer to the demonic tide back then," Gawain said calmly, "No matter how the demonic tide comes, as long as people are still alive, they have to live their lives as usual. "
"Okay, as you often say, there will be someone tall to hold up when the sky falls - a big guy like you will definitely be able to hold up for a long time," Amber's ears twitched. Putting the matter of the magic tide aside, "I'm really sleepy. Is there nothing else to do today?" "
"It's okay today," Gawain nodded, "But I have something to do tomorrow - you and I will go to Glenland together. ”
Before the army sets off, it is time to “take over” Gulen with great fanfare.
……
Gawain Cecil’s army Entering the Gulen Territory
The Cecil combat soldiers with bright flags and bright armor entered the Gulen Territory without encountering any resistance, and quickly planted Cecil's flag. On the walls of Cracked Stone Castle, in this castle located at the top of a steep cliff, the nervous attendants and retainers finally waited for the "final result" of this "noble war" - they ushered in the new life of this land. Master.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people who do not know the whole truth, this is the truth.
Since the outbreak of the war that completely changed the situation in the south, the whereabouts of the mistress of the territory are unknown. After that, one-third of the people in the Cracked Stone Castle fled, and the remaining two-thirds still maintained order in the city under the strong control of the housekeeper (of course, the military intelligence hidden in the castle was indispensable). Bureau officers and Steel Rangers), but hidden under the relatively stable order is the tension that pervades the entire territory.
For those who do not know the truth, the noble coalition suffered a disastrous defeat. The news is bad news, which means that they will soon become Cecil's captives and slaves, the land will be plundered, and the wealth will be looted. As for when the looting will come and to what extent, it all depends on that When will the "angry ancestor" be free?
Now, the old ancestor seems to be free.
But what they are worried about is. "Loss" is destined not to come.
Wearing armor, Gawain entered the Cracked Stone Castle in a majestic manner, recalling the anxious Grenn retainers and servants he saw along the way. , he couldn’t help but secretly shook his head: Luo Penni GrantIt is obviously impossible to make the secret alliance between her and Cecil public. The people in this castle still don't know that their mistress is actually on the side of Cecil. Naturally, they don't expect that the Cecil people don't know. Will touch every bit of their wealth. It's a pity that even now, Gawain can't explain this to most people in the castle, and he still has to completely control the entire castle, and even the entire Glen Territory, to prevent the true situation after Cecil's army enters the territory. The details come out.
Although it can be said that the traditional nobles in Rock Fortress have no intelligence system, they cannot allow any accidents to occur.
It’s just this subtle tension... it’s really a bit dumbfounding.
But fortunately, he didn't care much about this. After leading the soldiers into the city and doing some superficial work, he came to the depths of the castle and came to the door of the room with the large window.
The maid guarding the door of the room had a relationship with Gawain, but the last time they met, Gawain was a guest in the castle, but this time he stood as a "conqueror" Here, the maid inevitably became nervous. She looked at Gawain as if she were facing a formidable enemy, trying to summon up the little courage she had, as if she wanted to protect her little master - but this courage almost ran away when Gawain spoke. .
"Open the door," Gawain said, "I'm here to see Patty."
"...Miss is resting..."
" Don't be nervous," Gawain smiled, "I am Patty's friend."
The maid guarding the door seemed to want to say something else, but at this moment the door opened from the inside, and another person was responsible for taking care of Patty. Ti's personal maid came out and glanced at Gawain with a little awe: "Miss, I want to see you."
Gawain nodded, and before walking into the room, he looked at the doorkeeper approvingly. The maid glanced at her: "You are very brave."
In the room, Patty was sitting on her special chair, basking in the brightest sunshine of the day.
Her complexion is much better than when they first met. It is obvious that the treatments Pittman has given her several times have been effective.
"It's Uncle Gawain!" The little girl became excited the moment she saw Gawain. She showed a big smile, tried hard to support her head, and shook her only movable arm. , "You came to see me!"
Gawain came to Patty, smiled and bent down: "I have agreed, I will come to see you."
The little girl seemed I was very happy. This room full of sunshine seemed to be a different world from the tense castle outside. Here, the clouds of war never seemed to appear for a moment. Patty excitedly talked a lot with Gawain, and in the end Then he asked: "Uncle Gawain, when will mother come back?"
"Soon," Gawain squatted in front of the little girl and said with a smile, "I will pick her up this time. Come back."
The little girl's head was shaking, but she was nodding.He couldn't control the amplitude of his nod very well: "Oh, I miss her a little bit."
"You don't seem to be afraid at all," Gawain lightly touched Patty's hair. Dare to use too much force for fear of hurting the child, "You know, your mother is actually fighting with me."
"I know," Patty said, and then paused for a few seconds , a small, cunning smile suddenly appeared on the scarred face, "But...Uncle, you are actually my mother's friend, right? Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else!"
< p>Gawain was stunned for a moment, then he laughed helplessly.Then he stood up, said goodbye to Patty, and left the room into the corridor.
The middle-aged housekeeper who served Penny Grant loyally and maintained order in the castle after the countess' "whereabouts were unknown" stood in the corridor waiting for him.
"I heard Luo Penni say that you are trustworthy."
