After confirming that the communication was safe, Gawain did not hide the situation from Hetty, but directly mentioned the information about the Eternal Sleeper that he had intercepted in his dream.
This situation obviously surprised Hetty on the other side of the communicator.
"...They should be studying the evil spirits and are most likely looking for opportunities to release them. The so-called great evolution they are pursuing is probably to turn people into monsters," Gawain said slowly His own conclusion: "At present, we do not have the ability to go deep into the wasteland to find out the situation, and we do not know how the members of the Society of the Death of All Creatures survived in the wasteland environment. At this stage, our main focus is still on those hidden in the human world. on the believers...
"There is no need to issue additional warnings to the Royal Capital and the Eastern Territory...
"Pay attention to all merchants and floating populations from the northern region, strengthen quarantine and religious Technical inspections and setting up more magic induction towers at the border...
"Order the White Sands Mining Company to monitor the area from the White Sand Hills to Solinburgh, focusing on collecting clues about plague, missing persons, cult rituals, etc. There are Report the situation immediately. ”
Gawain arranged the things that Hetty should pay attention to next one by one, and the work gradually became more organized.
He originally wanted to send another message to the Royal Capital and the Eastern Territory. A warning letter, but in the end he decided not to issue any more warnings -
First of all, he understood the efficiency and temperament of the traditional nobles in the north. He had just issued a warning a few days ago. , more warning letters at this moment will not bring about an improvement in effectiveness; secondly, he cannot describe the actions of the cultists in too much detail in the letters sent to the north. He cannot explain the source of his intelligence, but will make everything The Death Society realized that it was Gawain Cecil who had eavesdropped on their communications, and indirectly made the Eversleepers aware of the loopholes in the spiritual network and the invasion of extraterrestrial wanderers; thirdly... rather than believing in the actions of the northern nobles, he He believes in his team more.
He will later let Amber select outstanding military intelligence agents to cooperate with the Cecil Chamber of Commerce’s intelligence system in the Holy Spirit Plains to directly collect and monitor information on cultists’ activities in the northern region. Those Military Intelligence agents are good at making troubles and flipping tables. If they find traces of cultists, they only need to make the matter bigger and it will naturally attract the attention of the local lords - this is what makes those efficient people The best way for the low-level traditional nobles to take action is to put them to good use.
But if this still fails to prevent the spread of the cultists' destruction... then Gawain can only let the northern nobles wish for themselves.
The power of the Principality of Cecil is limited, and Duke Cecil’s influence is also limited. He can already send out alarms, dispatch intelligence personnel to carry out investigation activities, and put pressure on the royal family and the Eastern Territory. He has reached the limit. He now has neither the legal power nor the ability to directly intervene in the situation in the Holy Spirit Plains or the Eastern Territory. Even if he does intervene, it is more likely that the situation that has finally calmed down will explode instantly and block the situation. The Principality of Seer was also involved in the whirlpool of civil war.
At that time,The project of repairing and strengthening the magnificent wall will surely come to an end, and this is the most unbearable cost.
Hetty listened to the arrangements of her ancestors one by one. She could hear the limitations of these measures and understand her ancestors' concerns.
After all, the Cecil Principality is still just a principality and cannot reach out to the northern region.
After arranging these things, Gawain briefly thought about it. The expression on his face did not relax at all, but became more serious than before.
Heti paid attention to the changes in the expressions of the ancestors and asked cautiously: "Are you worried that the conspiracy of the Death of All Things... will be more serious than spreading the plague?"
Gawain is serious He nodded: "They are not just a cult."
In the minds of most ordinary people, the Society for the Death of All Things is just a cult, a mixture of rural horror stories, wizard legends, myths and ghost stories. However, Gawain, who has dealt with them several times and understands their origin and history, does not think so. This is a dark sect that is "the same age" as all human countries. It has deep foundation and vast power. It masters unpredictable biochemical technology and plots obscure and dark conspiracies. They have even penetrated into the world during their hundreds of years of operation. For the aristocratic ruling class, given the strength and centralization of national rule in this era, a dark sect like the Society for the Death of All Things can almost subvert the order of the kingdom.
“They have been hiding in the shadow of the civil war in Anzu. They have their shadow in the East, and they have their shadow on the battlefield. I even suspect that Typhon’s actions against Anzu also have their shadow. ," Gawain continued, "So, we must look at them at a higher level and make higher-level arrangements."
Hetty seemed to be able to smell it from Gawain's attitude. There was a hint of iron and fire, which made her hold her breath subconsciously: "...you mean..."
"Convert all the money and materials delivered by the royal family and the Eastern Territory into war The vehicle production line, all mechanized troops, except for the necessary southern garrison, were all sent to the Rock Fortress and the Gulan area." Gawain made arrangements according to the worst-case scenario he had conceived, with a serious tone and as cold as the wind, " Adjust the production plan of the First Tank Factory. All tanks produced by production lines 4 to 8 will be equipped with heavy burners. In addition, Nicholas will be notified - let him complete the lightweighting of the White Knight heavy burner as soon as possible, so that it can be manufactured as soon as possible and can be used by ordinary soldiers. model."
This is how Gawain arranged it.
It doesn’t matter what dark beliefs and complex conspiracies you have, it doesn’t matter what the torrent of steel is.
The armored force's burner opens the way, and it's over.
"Yes."
Hetty responded solemnly and nodded vigorously.
That’s right, it really smells of iron and fire.
After hanging up the communication, Gawain gently rubbed his eyebrows, recalling in his mind whether there were any omissions in his arrangements.
Fire is the best weapon to deal with those fallen druids, and the overwhelming flames with magical power,It is the sharpest weapon among sharp weapons.
Gods are creatures with magical power, but no matter how magical they are, their essence is still an organism. Even if those fallen druids have great abilities and tons of black technology, It was impossible to change this nature, and according to the intelligence Kamel and Pitman had provided, using fire to deal with them would be very effective.
Even if the evil created by the Death of All Things has magical properties and can resist the flames of nature, the heavy burner made by Cecil also spits out "evil" with magical power. "Fire", as long as there is enough quantity, the evil spirits can still be burned.
But what those cultists are studying... are they really the only things that are divine? Could they have a bigger conspiracy?
Bertila Augustus, the earliest member of the Typhon royal family, one of the strongest human druid priests, and the most pious and steadfast protector of life.
If Selina Gel was the spiritual guardian of the pioneer soldiers and a harbor that protected people’s souls and dreams, then Bertila Augustus of the past had nothing to do with it. The question is the "Healing Saint" of the Pioneering Army. She has selflessly healed everyone, from nobles to civilians. Thousands of people's lives have been extended because of her. She has devoutly believed in the gods of nature, even if her All her prayers were unanswered, and what impressed Gawain most was the sentence she said most often after her unanswered prayers:
"Although God did not answer me, He has indeed brought us the miracle of healing life, and this miracle still continues in our hands. I am not praying to Him, I am just thanking Him.”
Such a “holy lady”. , if she learns the truth, if she degenerates into a dark priest... what will she pursue?
Gawain quietly sorted through the memories from Gawain Cecil, speculating on Bertira, or the ultimate goal of the entire Death Society of All Things. He had to block out the emotional factors in his memory that might affect his judgment, such as his good impression of Bertila, so that he could analyze it better.
Half an hour later, he stood up from behind the desk, came to the window covered with alchemical resin, and cast his gaze into the distance.
He saw the hazy illusion of the magnificent wall, saw the whirlwind of smoke and dust swirling in the wasteland, saw the gloomy and chaotic sky, and at the end of his sight, he could vaguely see There is a majestic tower standing quietly against the background of chaotic dust, mist and skylight.
That is another sentinel tower, located on the east side, on the other side of Typhon.
Regarding the civil war in Anzu, Gawain is almost certain that Typhon is one of the biggest promoters behind the scenes, and in the actions of Emperor Typhon, he can also smell the breath of the Death Society of all things. .
Daniel once reported that he saw two Gemini elves near Rosetta Augustus who had almost the same appearance, synchronized their speech and behavior, and seemed to be twins. This was the same as what Gawain had seen in his dream last night. The pair of elf sisters we saw were completelyFully matched.
He contacted Daniel through the spiritual network in the middle of the night last night, showed the image of the elf twins to the other party, and received a positive reply.
Then the Emperor Typhon, who is directly connected to the Council of the End of All Things... would he know about the existence of Bertila Augustus? Will you have contact with the other party?
The distance is not very far.
After Gawain returned to his desk, he wrote a letter quickly, then stamped it with his seal, and sent Amber to find the elf messenger Sonia.
“I want to ask you to deliver a letter,” Gawain looked at Sonia who was rushing over with a curious look on her face, and smiled and handed over the letter that had just been sealed with fire paint, “You should Do you mind helping me?"
Sonia curiously took the letter from Gawain, but did not activate her mental power or sense the content, but raised her eyebrows: "I am a messenger, and I can also deliver letters. Count my scope of work - but where is this sent to? You actually have the complete emblem of the principality..."
Gawain answered calmly: "Typhon Camp, for Rosetta O Gusdu, I'm going to pay a visit."
Amber, who was standing nearby to watch the excitement, was stunned: "Huh?"
"Since the completion of the magnificent wall, the smell of wasteland has appeared. Blocking various kingdoms, the countries on the mainland have not had the situation of working together today for hundreds of years." Gawain sat behind the desk with a solemn look on his face, "This is a major event for human beings to work together again, and it is the result of so many years of indifference and isolation. After reuniting for the first time, now that Typhon Camp and Ansu Camp are so close, I think it is necessary to visit our old friends. This is a necessary attitude."
Sonia was criticized by Gawain for his righteous words. Touched by his attitude, she couldn't help but take a deep look at her old friend in front of her, as if she could see in him the time when we were together through thick and thin seven hundred years ago, when people joined hands regardless of each other or race. At the same time, she readily agreed to Gawain's request to deliver the letter, and said that the letter would only cost half the price -
Her reward as a messenger was free, but Gugu had to eat meat, and at such a close distance If he flies over the wasteland, Gugu will also need psychological counseling.
Considering that Sonia is indeed the best messenger at hand, and the cost of sending a team of Cecil messengers across the strip plain to deliver the message will only be higher, Gawain said nothing.
After Sonia left, Amber came up to Gawain and looked directly into the latter's eyes.
The righteous words that Gawain just said to Sonia really touched people's hearts. If they were polished, they could even be included in the college textbooks, but Amber didn't believe it.
Old Zongzi is very evil. Behind his righteous words is not a conspiracy to bankrupt some unlucky guy - Count Horsman's body has not been collected yet.
"Are you planning to ask Rosetta Augustus about Bertila Augustus in person?" The half-elf lady said based on what she knewIntelligence, speculating on Gawain's intention, "Is it so simple and crude?"
"Of course it cannot be so simple and crude - Rosetta Augustus is related to the death of all things, so I do this It's like taking the initiative to tell those cultists that I hacked into their communication system," Gawain shook his head, "I just went to observe, confirm some things, and then... try to see if I can do some business."
Amber didn’t react at all. She didn’t know how Gawain suddenly changed the subject to this aspect: "Doing business?"
Gawain smiled: "Yes, doing business - transnational Trade. "
This is indeed his purpose, and it is not a temporary idea.
He had long planned to contact Typhon - although Typhon was Anzu's destined opponent, and although Typhon had already prepared his fangs and claws and wanted to devour Anzu's flesh and blood at any time, but From the perspective of Gawain, a "traveler", as long as Ansu and Typhon haven't started fighting for a day, then he doesn't mind doing some "business" with Typhon.
Right as the war before the war.
Hubo blinked, and she saw a familiar smile on Gawain's face - this smile looked the same to others as usual, but she knew that when the old Zongzi stood up like this, When he laughs, it usually means he is hatching another cannibal plot.
And don’t spit out bones.
