Chapter 844

"Don't I have to sign a contract? I don't have so many inheritance crystals now."

Leng Yue wondered.

"No, just do me a little favor later."

Lu Chen smiled and handed Lengyue a previously drawn up contract.

Leng Yue looked at the result and thought, "yes."

She collected the strange origin of the black goat cub, saluted Lu Chen and left.

Around the tent where Lu Chen rested, there were twenty or thirty explorers who wanted to get close without trace, but they were secretly greeted by the exciting Kaka..

…………

The eastern boundary of the Sistine Empire, east of the red river.

It was originally an endless wilderness, and there was no human habitation within two thousand miles. However, looking at it from the high tower on the border of the Sistine Empire recently, it was vaguely visible that dark buildings appeared in the distance of the horizon.

Those buildings seem to be growing, and they will become more tall and dense every day. Intelligence continues to be transmitted back to the capital, making the dignitaries of the capital aware of the seriousness of the problem.

The country of steam and machinery really wants to go to war. They have begun to build bases on the front line. The railway is constantly moving forward, moving forward ten miles every day.

In the magnificent palace, the current monarch of the Sistine Empire, Charlie Sistine was sitting on the throne, frowning.

In a short period of half a month, he seems to be a lot older. In the face of domestic and foreign troubles, even if he is a capable monarch, he is a little anxious.

The day before yesterday, he secretly met with Ji Wuxie, director of the inquisition of ChenYong church, and learned amazing news.

Peter's slacker is really not lazy this time, but missing. His life and death are unknown.

This is a major event that shakes the country. When Peter is absent for two days, the King shows up and can prevaricate with various reasons, but over time, anyone will notice something wrong.

Peter's character is not mentioned, but anyway, he is also the Pope. He always goes to the church on time every day, and sometimes shows up in front of the masses to strengthen the faith of the imperial people.

Now he came and evaporated. Whether it was learned by the eternal night church or the country of steam and machinery, it was the worst case.

Even Charlie wondered whether the country of steam and machinery decided to go to war after learning the news of Peter's disappearance.

Now they are resisting the strange torrent of the sea of nothingness in the north of the Sistine Empire, which has dispersed most of the night watchman's combat power. If they only rely on the flesh and blood of the imperial soldiers, can they really go to war with that country?

"Baron, what do you think?"

Charlie asked the people under the stage. The man shouted was a big man over two meters tall. His skin was dark, but not pure black. He was obviously a hybrid.

Baron is extremely tall, wearing heavy armor and carrying a pair of heavy hammers in the main hall. When walking, the floor in the palace is a little unbearable.

He gave Charlie a standard knightly salute and replied, "Your Majesty, we can't start a war yet. At least we can't have the power of a war until the strange storm in the North passes."

Baron Cabas, the head of the general army of the Sistine Empire, the hereditary Duke of the Empire, is also one of the dawn knights, titled the hammer of the Empire.

He was both a cleric and a senior official of the imperial government. He seldom appeared in the church at ordinary times and mainly trained the army in the frontier.

"How effective is our army?"

Charlie asked, of course, the Sistine Empire has a standing army, but there have been too many disarmament in recent years, and now the total number is only 300000.

"With all due respect, your majesty, you should understand that the standing army is only used to suppress ordinary unrest within the Empire. We can't really expect children to fight."

Barron's speech made Charlie and the imperial officials present frown. All who can be in today's Council hall are understanding people, but it's still uncomfortable to hear Barron say so.

"I see. Let's continue disarmament next year and let the children go home. The law enforcement officials can deal with the affairs in the Empire."

Charlie rubbed his eyebrows wearily. The ease of the Sistine empire for many years has made people forget the war. In fact, the existence of armaments is really unnecessary.

In this era, the rise of human extraordinary people has formed a systematic chain, and a top extraordinary person can kill countless mortal armies.

Therefore, the Sistine empire will continue to disarm over the years, because it is really unnecessary and the army can't deal with the disaster in the dark.

"I've seen the war power of Ba long. How do you feel about being on the front line?"

Charlie continued.

Baron's face was expressionless. "Does your majesty want to hear the truth or lie?"

As he spoke, he also looked at other officials. Obviously, this sentence was not only said to the king.

"Come on, it's serious. Of course I want to listen to the truth."

Charlie felt bad.

"The fact is that we have no power to fight at all, especially when we lose the seat. Once the war starts, the kingdom of steam and machinery can kill the king's capital in less than two months."

Barron said bluntly, making everyone present look pale.

"How can it be! How can those heretics who have betrayed their faith be so powerful, Mr. Baron? Don't alarmist!"

The treasurer of the Empire angrily denounced that they thought that the Sistine Empire had always been the orthodoxy of the world. The country of steam and machinery had only been independent for 150 years. It was just a group of unbelieving heretics. How could they defeat their brilliant power.

Baron looked at the imperial treasurer, "it's the unbelieving heresy in your mouth that has created something you can't imagine. My father mentioned long ago that we should learn the advanced technology of the country of steam and machinery. It's not a magic, but a good technology that can improve people's livelihood."

He paused. "Over there, they call it science."

"Isn't it a magic trick that can make scrap iron move by itself? Can those things defeat our battle hardened night watchman?"

The one who spoke was a duke. There was once a night watchman of divine envoy level. Now he is also an extraordinary person. He can reach the super level. At present, he is the governor of a province in the Empire.

"Duke Brightman, I think you are too blind to the power of extraordinary people. Firstly, there are not so many night watchmen in our Sistine Empire, because it is a profession that is very strict with talent. Secondly, according to my observation, if you want to play a role in the battlefield, at least you should be a dangerous night watchman."

Baron looked at the Duke, Explained: "the night watchers are not militarized training. They may be good at dealing with strange disasters, but they are not good at large-scale wars. Most of the abilities of the night watchers are single, and the recovery speed is slow. Only the night watchers above the high-risk level can play a significant role in the battlefield. How many are there in the Empire?"

Duke Brightman frowned. "I heard that many of the countries of steam and machinery are mortals. They don't have extraordinary people. Shouldn't our night watchman go to the battlefield be an outright massacre?"

"Maybe I'm a little straightforward, but I still want to say, Duke Brightman, you're wrong. If you go to the front with me, you should know that once the war starts, it will only be us who will be slaughtered."

Baron said faintly, "their science and technology and industry have developed to a level we can't understand. At the same time, they haven't completely given up their extraordinary power. It's the ultimate beast created by science and technology industry and strangeness, and the end killer of the battlefield."

He took out a huge picture scroll and showed it to the public in the hall. On the picture, there are tall workshops in the field. Compared with flowers, plants and trees, those workshops may be 100 meters high.

What is frightening is that in the whole picture, the houses don't look conspicuous at all, because there are several towering figures standing next to them.

It was the sky peak built by the gray and black steel skeleton. The humanoid steel giant stood there and spewed out overwhelming white steam from his joints. The person who painted this painting was obviously a master, and the sense of oppression was conveyed to the public even across the scroll.

"As you can see, this is the monster created by the country of steam and machinery, and according to the information I have received, such a giant steel beast has begun mass production in the country of steam and machinery."

Barron's voice fell, and the Hall fell into silence. You can see everyone's expression with a trace of shock and confusion.

They can't imagine how to make steel into such a huge monster with human technology.

The Sistine Empire also made steel, but it was only used for the construction of some houses and small objects used by nobles. Most of them were made by craftsmen through meditation and grinding.

But the iron giant in the picture is just a bone, 50 or 60 meters long. How did they complete the melting and casting?

"Baron, is this kind of thing strong? It looks heavy."

Charlie looked dignified and asked the commander he trusted.

"These giants haven't moved in the front line, but I feel that the core of the strange origin is at least super class. According to my informant in the domestic Department of steam and machinery, they have conducted this type IV test. After my analysis, I conservatively estimate that there are no more than two super class night watchmen in the Empire who can defeat this kind of giant magic one-on-one Ten. "

Baron's voice was heavy, "What's worse, this kind of giant divine soldier can cause far more damage on the battlefield than the night watchman. They are born with demons developed for the battlefield. The heavy firepower they carry can easily sweep all cities, and because they are driven by dual core energy, as long as the energy reserves of the country of steam and machinery can keep up, the giant divine soldier IV is almost non-stop."

There was a sudden sound of cold breath. It was really that Barron's narration was too terrible.

A combat machine, a man-made thing, can rival the super elite of the Empire?

What's more outrageous is that it can still be mass produced!?

If Baron didn't lie, the Sistine Empire really didn't have the power of World War I and would be directly crushed on the frontal battlefield!

"Do these things need to be manipulated?"

The imperial treasurer asked the point.

"The only good news is that these machines still need to be controlled by people. Those pilots are not necessarily extraordinary. Our night watchman may be able to bypass the steel shell and kill the pilots in a special way from the spiritual level."

Barron explained, "but I think we should prepare for the worst. The country of steam and machinery should not leave such fatal loopholes. If they do, they can't hunt so many super weird origins, and they don't dare to go to war with us."

Duke Brightman thought for a moment, "but this is still a breakthrough worth trying, isn't it? The shortcut to defeat this heretical creation should still start with people."

Baron nodded, "that's true, but we don't know whether it's difficult to choose the pilots who operate the giant soldiers. If we don't destroy the giant soldiers and just kill the pilots inside, the country of steam and machinery can still send new pilots to operate. Compared with our night watchmen, I believe their pilots are much cheaper."

Charlie didn't look very good after listening to Barton. The imperial Marshal always spoke frankly, but he was also good at finding the key point of the problem. Objectively speaking, they were really not opponents of the Sistine empire.

At first, he thought that things on the other side of Haibei had dragged down the Empire and Peter's disappearance, but now it seems that even if ChenYong church has not lost and can take out all its combat power, it will be a difficult battle.

Peter is very strong and Mr. Ji is also very strong, but their power is exhausted sometimes, and no one knows whether the country of steam and machinery has a bigger killer for their top strength.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision."

Barron saluted that he could only make objective analysis, but it must be the king who made the final decision.

Now that Peter is away and Mr. Ji Wuxie is not good at these things, national affairs must be judged by King Charles.

King Charles is a mortal, but a mortal does not mean that the mind can not compare with the extraordinary. All the monarchs of the Sistine empire are mortals because of an ancestral motto.

King Charles thought for a moment. "Send someone to the Sistine Empire to investigate. I want to know what they want."

Charlie's heart is gloomy. If the country of steam and machinery only wants resources, territory and population, he can give in. As a family that has ruled the Empire for 1300 years, the Sistine family knows far more secrets than others. In fact, his desire for power is not as strong as outsiders think.

The land abandoned by God can survive is so large, and the two empires have small populations and are in a state of vast territory and sparse population. Charlie doesn't think that the country of steam and machinery wants to kill people. Even if he cedes the territory, the lives of those people will not get worse.

And if what Baron said is true, perhaps those people who are included in the country of steam and machinery will live better.

Charlie thinks the other party can mention it if he has conditions, but it must not be that thing.

"According to your will, I will send two super class to sneak there."

Barron saluted and had no objection to Charlie's sound judgment.
