Chapter 1013 Influence

Face the God, and then kill the God.

All along, Gawain has been thinking about how this war caused by the out-of-control God of War will finally end - the war between Typhon and Cecil is just an appearance, its essence is the gods It is an "unnatural disaster" caused by loss of control. To end the disaster, we need to start from the source. Therefore, the idea of ​​​​ending this divine disaster can only be found from the gods. In Gawain's original plan, the surest way to achieve this goal was to cut off the "channel."

In Veronica's words, it is to cut off the "bridge between man and God".

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for gods to directly affect the human world. The "god realm" they live in is a more complex and insurmountable realm than the alien space. According to Amorn, unless If the conditions are extremely suitable or a huge price is paid, otherwise the gods will not be able to leave their "domain" at all, but can only project their power to the world through indirect means. Therefore, from a certain point of view, as long as this "indirect connection" is cut off ", you can cut off the influence of gods on the human world.

What supports this "bridge" is the system of representation of gods in the human world - the "order of faith" formed after a large group of priests and a large number of mortals continue to act according to specific doctrines.

So Gawain always thought that Rosetta's goal was this: to consume the contaminated priests, baptized knights, and soldiers in the country, and to dismantle the "bridge" between the God of War and the world bit by bit. When this connection is weakened to a certain extent, in theory, the "divine disaster" spreading in the mortal world will naturally end due to the loss of its source. Even the god of war may stop the worsening madness because of the interruption of contact with the human world. tend to gradually return to normal in a certain state of isolation - of course, at the same time, he will also be greatly weakened due to the loss of mortal faith support, and may even become a powerful person like Amorn who has lost the power of his godhead. "The God of the Past", but that is not a problem that Gawain needs to consider.

However, it now seems that... what Rosetta is going to do is far from so "mild".

Hetty was startled by Gawain's speculation and stared for a long time before reacting: "God-killing? Are you sure?"

"I can only guess this—— Only Rosetta herself knows the truth," Gawain said in a deep voice. "Now we can only speculate based on the existing clues. What the Typhons are doing is obviously to further bring the power of the God of War to this world... From the beginning of the war to Now, the number of troops invested by the two warring parties in the Winter Wolf Castle area has reached hundreds of thousands, and it is still increasing. This is the largest war on this continent in the past century. Its existence itself is a powerful source of gravity, with War-related authorities will naturally be attracted to that area. In this case, the Typhons create large-scale 'miracles'... It is most likely to be 'warming up' for some kind of larger-scale coming. ..."

He paused and looked into Hetty's eyes: "With Rosetta's character and Typhon's current situation,Given the situation, he couldn’t have brought the God of War to this world just to invite him to lunch, right? "

"But how does he plan to realize this almost impossible plan? Hetty stared, "That's a god!" ”

“Gods can be killed, can’t they? "Gawain said slowly, "In this era, mortals have already fought against the gods..."

Hetty quickly reacted: "You mean you were jointly hunted by us and the sea monster. The body of a false god? Or is it the upper-level narrator? But... there is no comparability or repeatability at all! For the former, we used the power of the sea monster, and for the latter, you used special means. This cannot be used as evidence that "mortals are capable of killing gods", let alone some routine event... Rosetta Ogu If Stuart got encouragement and inspiration from these two things, then his plan is simply a gambler's whimsical idea. Even if there are the power of Cecil and Typhon in the Winter Wolf area,..."

"He must have been planning to do this for a long time - I mean if he really wants to do it," Gawain shook his head, "Now I don't know what his specific plan is, but since Typhon People might want to drag the God of War into our world... Then I can't continue to watch from behind. "

Hetty heard the profound meaning from Gawain's tone. She looked at her ancestor with some surprise: "Do you want to go in person..."

"Yes. , I want to go to the Eastern Front in person," Gawain said calmly, "The nature of this matter may escalate at any time. If I really have to deal with God, then I have some experience, and..."

"I understand," Hetty did not continue to ask questions, but nodded, "Then I will make arrangements. "

"Well," Gawain nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then ordered, "Also, contact Solinburg - tell Bertila that we don't have time to wait for the final version now. We have a wetware server, and her temporary plan can be used first... We now need psychic choirs that can be directly put into the battlefield. The sooner the better, and the more the better. ”

…

Deep in the clouds of war, the gears have begun to turn. Whether it is the appearance of this war or the truth hidden under the appearance, everything is changing. The rotating gears began to move forward - and this whirlpool affected not only the front line of Winter Wolf Castle, but also not only the two sides that were directly fighting.

The new ones created in the Magical Age. Under the order, information is disseminated at a speed and breadth far exceeding that of the past. This war taking place in the northeastern part of the continent has already attracted the attention of almost the entire continent..

The mosswood forest of the Ogure Tribal Nation is ushering in the coldest days of the year. Several consecutive snowfalls have dyed this land, the ancestral home of the gray elves for generations, pure white, and in winter Deep in the snow-stained white jungle, Windsong City, the largest city in the Mosswood Forest, maintains a bustling bustle that is incompatible with this cold winter.

Thanks to the wealth and prosperity brought by active commercial activities, and thanks to magic technology that makes the city run more cheaply and efficiently, the gray elves and their business partners are able to stay away from the cold and heat this winter. Depression, even in the snowy days, the citizens of this city still maintain normal life: the market is open as usual, transactions are carried out as usual, tourists come in an endless stream, and news from all over the world... is here as always The city is moving quickly.

The guard captain of Windsong City carried her proud chopping ax and walked steadily on the street between the market and the longhouse. This "feline lady" He scanned the area he patrolled with alert eyes, and the furry ears standing on his head captured various movements from the market area: winter is a season when it is easy for people to relax their vigilance, especially for cats. , the low temperature makes people sleepy, and makes people involuntarily miss the stove at home, but as a well-trained warrior, staying vigilant in this sleepy season has always been a skill she is proud of.

A newsboy ran past nearby, and his excited shout attracted the attention of the guard captain: "Extra number! Extra number! Big news! A big air battle broke out on the Winter Wolf front! Unprecedented! An unheard of big air battle! ”

The vocabulary used by the newsboy was novel and unfamiliar. Some people around him had already attracted their attention. The captain of the guard couldn’t help but look over there twice more. And just those two extra glances caused people’s attention. Attracting the attention of the newsboy, the young and energetic gray elf ran over in a few steps, his face flushed in the cold wind: "Ms. Morelina! Bring a newspaper! You can't miss it!"

But a shrewd gray elf can obviously see through the thoughts of a warrior through countless detailed observations: "Don't be like this, Ms. Morelina, the guard captain does not have to patrol for such a long time like ordinary soldiers, and this But the news about the Typhon-Cecil front line - a soldier should not miss this stuff!" Morelina's eyes narrowed. She didn't agree with the first half of the newsboy's sentence, but The second half of the other person's words gave her a good reason...or steps. She glanced at the mechanical clock hanging in front of the patriarch's house not far away, and realized that her patrol time was indeed coming to an end soon, so she stretched out her hand to the newsboy: "Okay, give me one."

"Your day will be enriched by this newspaper! I promise, Ms. Morelina - here is your newspaper and change~~"

The sharp-tongued gray elf.

Morelina took the newspaper and shook her head with a smile. The newsboy ran in the other direction in the next second, and cheerful shouts came from not far away: "Big news! Winter Wolf A big air battle breaks out on the front line! Big news that even the guard captains of Windsong City don't want to miss!" Morelina glanced in that direction and let out a short grunt in her throat, but didn't say anything. . Then she picked up the newspaper and saw that the "big news" the newsboy said was on the first page of the newspaper - a large "photo" occupying a full third of the page. The first time she saw it, Morelina felt her breathing slowed down by half a beat -

It was a scene in the sky, shot directly from a flying perspective.

Morelina has actually seen the scene in the sky - the Cecil people have produced some magic network short films with an aerial perspective as the theme. They used some kind of flying machine to take people and equipment to the sky, and filmed Pictures of overlooking the earth from the air, looking at the clouds, and even dancing with the wind and rain. As the magic net spread to the Ogure tribal country, these incredible short films also entered the sight of various races as part of Cecil's external publicity, but...< /p>

What was shown in the newspapers was completely different.

In the sky covered with clouds and roaring wind and snow, armed troops were fighting.

At this time, Morelina understood what the "big air battle" the newsboy meant.

Hundreds of flying war machines entered the battlefield... several times the number of Typhon air forces... a huge meteorological "miracle"... dragons... armored trains...

Air raids and counter-air raids in snowstorms.

Morelina grabbed the newspaper, and at some point she had put the ax that she had carried on her shoulder next to her legs. Her feline tail was curled up little by little, waiting for her to react. By then, the tail was already in its mouth.

She couldn't even remember how many years it had been since she had done such a childish thing - it was unsightly for a powerful orc warrior.

But she could no longer care about such details at the moment, because a huge doubt was swirling in her mind:

When... did the war become like this?

In the distant human world, on the east side of the continent, are people there already fighting in this way?

......

"A big air battle..." In the spacious and bright room, the gray-haired Wenna Bai Zhi looked at the newspaper just delivered by the attendant. The front page of the newspaper The report made the gray elf leader eye-opening and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this also a change brought about by magic technology..."

"It's magic technology and magic technology," A tall human with black hair and blue eyes stood next to Wenna and said, "The Typhons do not have machines that can fly. They still use the power of traditional magic to fight."

"Those Typhon without flying machinesPeople suffered greater losses in this air battle - although there may be factors that were modified by Cecil's propaganda, it is clear who suffered more casualties in this air battle." Wenna couldn't help but shook her head slightly, "Not to mention Dragonborn also appeared on the battlefield as mercenaries... Cecil actually made magical equipment for those already very powerful dragonborn. "

"Alchemists have the concept of 'catalyst', and war is the catalyst for technology - it is certainly good for magic technology to be used in mines and municipal construction, but it is obviously also very suitable for use in On the battlefield. "The tall human said seriously.

"...Grey elves are not good at fighting, but we really need to know more about this aspect," Wen Na sighed and said, " Schwark, the agenda of purchasing arms from the Cecil people still needs to be pushed forward... Not only us, but the other four major tribes should also realize the importance of these things. We may not expect to use the purchased arms to attack anyone, but at least we must start to keep up with the changes in the world. "

"Don't worry, I have been paying attention to this matter. "

"Well," Wenna nodded slightly, "Speaking of magic technology...Wycliffe proposed to establish a magic network hub at the Peak of the Ancestors. What is the feedback from all parties? "

Wycliffe is the leader of the human tribe in the Ogure tribe and one of the "Five Kings" who is equal to Wenna Bai Zhi.

"In The establishment of the main hub of the Magic Network at the Peak of the Ancestors is indeed an extremely challenging thing to the tradition... At present, the orcs and the Eldar have not reached a consensus on this matter. They are mainly worried about whether it will have a bad impact on the Holy Land. There are also some cultural and traditional concerns," Schwack, who served as consultant, immediately reported. "Surprisingly, the goblins have agreed to this matter. Ms. Stella also sent a special letter asking us if I also intend to promote this matter..."

"The goblin is so active? "Wenna raised her head in surprise, "The Peak of the Ancestors is where they have lived for generations. I thought they would be the most worried about this..."

"Everyone thinks so, but the fairies They seem to... find this matter very interesting," Schwack said with a strange expression, "At least that's Ms. Stella's attitude. "

Wenna was stunned for a moment, and suddenly pressed her forehead in distress: "Have they really figured out what the Magic Network Hub is..."

"This should be It’s no problem. The elves’ understanding of magic technology is surprisingly strong. Recently, they are becoming the most familiar group with magic technology besides the gray elves in the Ogure tribe.” Schwark didn’t seem to have any idea. Hearing the joke in Wenna's tone, she said seriously, "Perhaps it is because of this talent that they are so interested in building a giant signal tower in their ancestral homeland. "

"...Okay, that's a good thing, so at least three votes will pass," Wenna rubbed her brows, "Are the only Eldar and Orcs left...…I know Camilla and Stur, they are not stubborn people themselves, and they should agree in the end. ”

After ending this troublesome topic, the gray elf patriarch waved his hand: “Let’s discuss this matter after I communicate with the Stella patriarch. Speaking of which, the letter from Meili arrived today, right? "

"Yes, ma'am," Schwark nodded and pointed to something on a small table next to him, "This is it. "

Wenna blinked, her eyes fell on the packaged things, and she murmured to herself after a long time: "I thought this was a package..."

"This It is indeed a package - the Cecil Post Office registers it as a package, and cross-border delivery is also based on the package," Schwack nodded seriously, "Obviously, the letter written by the eldest lady cannot go through the mail channel..."

Wenna: "..."

"Then, please send me a letter, I will handle the government documents, so I won't disturb you. ”

After the words fell, Schwark bowed slightly and politely exited the room.
