Chapter 607: 607

Water Thunder

“What do you mean by using the hearts of the people?”

The effect of the broadcast to mobilize the volunteers was so good that it made people fall back tactically.

Kant had already sent the first batch of engineering magic devices and hot air balloons to the Far Harbor Airport and the Broken Islands ‘central observation platform. He returned to the Far Harbor once again to inspect the mobilization progress.

The effect was outstanding.

All the registration points were packed with people. They waved the iron ID cards in their hands and fought to be the first to do their part in this great humane rescue.

The quality of the citizens of Distant Harbor instantly increased by several times.

Everyone was like an ancient holy knight, filled with the noble qualities of compassion and justice, eager to contribute their strength to save the innocent.

It wasn’t for instant noodles or the radio.

She was simply kind-hearted and could not bear to see innocent people get hurt.

The officials of the City Hall came and went, submitting various reports, receiving orders, and executing them. From the huge floor-to-ceiling window, they could see the entire city. The crowd was like a long line, and the entire city was like an orderly ant nest. An invisible force controlled the people to execute a unified will and operate in an orderly manner.

“Every official here is shocked.”

Hong San turned to look at his monarch.” Including me. We have never imagined that the people could carry out our will so passionately and orderly without relying on any forced decrees.”

“Your Highness, this is truly an amazing feat,” he praised sincerely.

He pointed at the crowd outside the French window.” Look at them. Even though they are so enthusiastic and act spontaneously, they still abide by the order. They are lining up. Do you know, lining up no matter what is the quality of an elite army? They are just ordinary people.”

” That’s quite a low requirement,” Kant said with a smile.

Hong San also laughed.” I’m very curious. What kind of place do you live in to be so used to things that seem like miracles in our eyes?”

Kant patted his shoulder.” I’ll bring you there if I have the chance.”

Even with Hong San’s current self-control skills, his eyes were filled with emotions when he heard this. He then composed himself and smiled.” That’s good. I’ll wait for good news.”

Mr. Hong San picked up the report in his hand.” The Artisan Legion of the Three Kingdoms Fleet, the members of the architects ‘association of Distant Harbor, and the engineering team under the Distant Harbor City Hall have gathered forty minutes ago. They are taking the Valentan Guards’vehicles and heading to the designated temporary airport area.”

” They will join up with the Investigation Corps ‘supply troops and build an airport as soon as possible. They will flatten the grassland, flatten the soil, strengthen the ground, and then lay the pavement materials that His Highness brought.”

Kant nodded.

There were pre-fabricated metal pavements for military field airfields on Earth, but those things were difficult to mobilize and there were not many of them in stock. They might not be able to make it in time, and it was extremely troublesome to install them. They could only rely on the wisdom of the other world.

Fortunately, he had obtained spare materials from the elven expeditionary army.

A burlap road made from the wealth and productivity of the Sunset Moon Dynasty. It was used in emergencies to allow the heavy cavalry, chariots, and mobile magic formations to safely and conveniently pass through muddy, damaged, and other obstacles to quickly enter the battlefield.

The pavement was made of coarse linen cloth coated with thick white mud on both sides. When used, the army’s engineering team would use earth magicians and spells to compact the ground to make it hard and dense. Then, they would lay it in two layers, and then fill it with earth and water elements to make it full of sticky soil. It would become tough and have moderate friction, enough to carry heavy tanks and war beasts.

This material, coupled with magic reinforcement, was enough to meet the requirements of the runway of the temporary airport.

Moreover, the laying speed was extremely fast.

Hong San continued to report.” We are currently selecting and organizing workers. We are deploying convoys, transporting supplies, and maintaining order. Tents, fuel, medicine, and food are currently being transported to the temporary settlement near the airport.”

” According to His Highness ‘request, men and women are recruited separately. The former will take care of the men, while the latter will take care of the women and children. Oh, right, there are also the wounded.”

Kant thought for a moment and sneered.” There are many mages, nobles, and rich people among the refugees we rescued. Those people are not easy to serve. Have you considered that?”

“Yes, we’ve also specially recruited people in this area.”Hong San nodded.

” Considering the practical factors, there are many hidden dangers in letting these privileged people who are used to being high and mighty squeeze together with the commoners. The management costs have actually increased, and the hidden troubles are not small. Therefore, it has been decided to separate them. The people in charge of guiding and arranging them are also inclined to recruit servants with experience as attendants or servants who work in large families…As for the problem of them not being easy to serve…”

Hong San smiled.” The city hall will pay close attention to it. There is a team of Valentan guards who will pay special attention to all the problems there. Once the volunteers are treated unfairly, the Valentan guards will immediately intervene. They have no respect for those lords.”

” I’ve already instructed the volunteers to be neither servile nor overbearing towards the people they are helping. I’ll let them always remember that they are working for you and your great ideals, so they don’t have to bow down to anyone. They have to hold their heads high and have dignity.”

” Hmph!” Kant snorted.” How troublesome.”

“Yes, but everything is like this. It’s difficult first before it’s easy.” Hong San blinked.” And considering how tedious and troublesome it is to arrange special arrangements for those special people, we will charge them a price.”

” I like this.” Kant laughed.

“I know.” Hong San smiled.

He leaned against the table and smiled relaxedly. Kant’s visit to inspect the progress was a good time for him to rest, regardless of whether it was physical fatigue or spiritual fatigue. However, this tiredness contained anticipation and satisfaction.

” What?” Kant sensed the change in his mood.” What?”

“I was thinking…” Hong San narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,” Ever since I got to know Your Highness, every major event that I’ve experienced seemed to be a battle or a massacre. Only this time, we worked together to save the innocent who were thousands of miles away from us and had nothing to do with us.”

” That’s right.” Kant was stunned for a moment before nodding.” That seems to be the case.”

Although he had to protect the people he wanted to protect in the previous battles, the people he wanted to protect were related to him and cared about.

Only this time, not only did they have to save their own soldiers who were trapped, but they also had to evacuate the other side’s civilians.

Hong San said softly,” I’ve invited reporters. There are quite a number of reporters from major newspapers from various countries who have arrived at Distant Harbor. After all, in the past month, major events have happened in Distant Harbor one after another. The reporters have all run very quickly because the people in the distance are eager to know the full story of those novel rumors…”

After all, news spread slowly and was easily distorted. The higher-ups of various countries could certainly get detailed reports, but the nobles, rich people, scholars, and citizens who were not powerful enough to touch these secrets were the backbone of gossip and public opinion. What happened in the distant port made them very curious.

Whether it was the steel warships that cut through the waves and fought against the dragons, or the valley exit that scattered countless grains on the ground, or even the focus and center of everything, the Skyquaking Dragon Kant.

What he had done to Far Harbor, the influence on the people here, the significance of his series of actions, and the gossip about him, the Elven Empress, the Dragon Lady, and many other noble figures were all things that the onlookers around the world wanted to know…This was the meaning of being a reporter.

Especially in this era where information was underdeveloped, the value of reporters was even greater.

.. Eh, wait.

Kant suddenly thought of something. Dragons seemed very suitable to be reporters.

First of all, being able to fly meant that he could run fast. Secondly, because he had lived for a long time and had accumulated a lot of experience, his posture was high. After that, he had been to many places in the world, so his temperament was not childish and his perception of things was not simple. Moreover, he had Long Yao’s means of real-time transmission of information. He really had many qualities that made him a good reporter.

Even if they were too arrogant sometimes, opening their mouths and shutting their mouths like lowly ants, it was easy to infuriate the interviewees. However, this was also a rigid impression of dragons. Once the money was in place, they knew how to lick their boots.

The Dragon Emperor actually didn’t think of this?

Hmph hmph…

He laughed in his heart and considered how much this was worth. Then, he heard Hong San continue,” I think this is a great opportunity to speak to the entire world. We will reveal to them what happened in Distant Harbor and the Broken Islands. We will spread our ideas and actions to listeners all over the world.”

” Therefore, I invited the reporters in Faraway Harbor to go deeper into this operation. I want them to see how we used a huge aircraft to transport hundreds of refugees thousands of miles away to Faraway Harbor. I want them to see the great scene of Faraway Harbor’s unity and selflessness in helping others. I want the reporters to pass on these legendary stories and our beliefs to their hometowns so that more people can see and hear them. I want them to be excited and yearn for it…”

Hong San seemed to be deep in thought as he continued,”We can also organize our own reporter team…” Those reporters and newspapers only have written narrations, but we have radio and even television. This is a crushing force, like cavalry charging at infantry, like magic attacking mortals…”

“Because of the broadcast and video, even illiterate people can understand it.”

He looked at Kant and said seriously,” Your Highness, I’ve been thinking about this for the past two days. I don’t know if I’m imagining things, but I keep feeling that the newspapers, broadcasts, and videos that you call ‘media’ are more powerful weapons than swords, guns, and spells. The enthusiasm of the people has confirmed my opinion…”

” That’s why I plan to focus on this matter. This is a great opportunity. We will broadcast all the details of this matter to the world, from the participation of the people, to the powerful and magical alchemical aircraft, to the fierce battle in the Broken Islands. The reporters will interview you, as well as the ordinary people, soldiers, architects, healers, and soldiers who returned from the Broken Islands.”

“And the survivors there.”

” This will be a feast and a celebration. We will dig deeper into this major event, write the deeds of many people in the newspapers, read them on the radio, adapt plays, and inform the entire world…”

“So!”

” Inwardly, we can use this united righteous action to create a collective sense of identity, accomplishment, and honor. Externally, we can spread the selfless holy act and spirit to the world, calling for people from all over the world to recognize us, or let those who don’t recognize us slowly understand us and recognize us…”

” You must know, Your Highness,” he said with an excited smile.” There are many people in this dark world who pursue and yearn for justice and heroes.”

Kant looked at him and exhaled slowly.

“Your Highness?” Hong San was puzzled.” What did I say wrong?”

Kant shook his head.” No, it’s completely accurate. It’s more accurate to say that it’s too accurate…” As expected, the so-called backwardness is just a narrow vision and lack of experience. Some things can be seen through with a little bit.”

“I’ll take it as a compliment for now.” Hong San replied,” Indeed. Ever since I followed Your Highness, I’ve had an endless stream of wonderful ideas because you’ve brought me unprecedented new things and new ideas.”

“It’s just like how I never thought that your method would be so useful…” He could not help but laugh.

” This is also my experience,” Kant said proudly.” No one can refuse a limited time event and an event store. No one! I’m going to give the best performers a souvenir watch!”

” It’s true.” Hong San could not help but laugh. Then, he sighed again.” It’s true. This might be the first time we’ve seen a human action that is filled with justice and light without being driven by whips, swords, and labor…”

He said softly,”Every participant will never forget today, and history will never forget your pioneering work and righteous deeds today…” I appreciate this way of changing the world, and I feel honored to be part of it.”

“This is not a pioneering work…”

Kant shook his head slowly. He was also taking advantage of this opportunity to rest. After obtaining the supplies from the elven camp, he poured a large amount of supplies into the distant port airport and the Broken Isles without stopping. He helped Horus strengthen the defense of the large platform once again. Then, he urgently rescued a wave of supplies from the Broken Isles. He was busy with everything.

“My Scouts have already given me a hint,” he replied after calming himself down.

“What?” Hong San asked, puzzled.

Kant thought for a moment and replied,” In my hometown, our civilization went through a period of darkness. The country was weak, devastated, and completely backward. It was almost hopeless. Under the invasion of foreign enemies and internal decay, a once insignificant force gradually grew stronger in the midst of storms and internal and external difficulties. In the end, they won and rebuilt our country and civilization. They regained their confidence and courage…”

“That must be very difficult.”Hong San’s eyes flickered.

“Yes, it’s not easy.” Kant replied,” It has been decades. It has been so long that many people have forgotten what it used to be like. Even history has become blurry.”

” The history books, movies, and literature of our generation are very subtle. They over-emphasize beliefs and ideals, and many things are brushed off in one stroke. This gives us the illusion that the martyrs at that time were ascetic saints who could turn everyone they came into contact with into devotees and sacrifices of the Great Light through so-called doctrines and ideals. They were fearless and did not ask for anything in return.”

” It wasn’t until I read the history of the party, which is the official history of our government, that I saw what it really looked like at that time.”

” Many people in our country think that the predecessors of the people’s army who created this country were a group of tough ascetics. However, history and TV dramas don’t tell us that the Red Army was one of the armies with the highest quality of officers, the highest level of education of soldiers, and the richest spiritual life.

” They didn’t see the photos of the aircraft carriers and battleships posted in the cave. They didn’t see the photos of a group of Red Army soldiers fighting fiercely on the basketball court. They didn’t see the oil barrel BBQ that the Red Army used to entertain foreign observation groups. They didn’t know that officers and soldiers received the same salary. They didn’t know that every soldier had to attend cultural classes every day during non-wartime…”

” Our history books tell us that the decisive battle to unify the country was a battle that was pushed out by a cart. They said that every citizen was called to join the army and selflessly contribute for a happy tomorrow. An order made them go to the battlefield without hesitation.”

“But they didn’t tell us that at the beginning, due to the lack of work, the people suffered losses, and the resistance of the masses was very strong.”

” They also didn’t tell us that when they realized the problem, our ancestors would immediately analyze and solve the problem. Every time they transported a wounded person, they would be rewarded with dozens of kilograms of food. Every time they transported supplies, they would be rewarded with dozens of kilograms of food…All kinds of measures were fully implemented, which mobilized the enthusiasm of the masses and established a powerful logistics system. Then, we won this important battle.”

” The history textbooks didn’t tell us that the reason why our army was able to use a huge amount of food to motivate them was because we were the only clean and efficient government in the world that spent 90% of its financial revenue on military expenses. There was no corruption, and the flat tax system gave us enormous economic power when we faced the corrupt and incompetent enemies. That battle was actually won by the grain-based economic power!

“I think this is the most amazing part.”

Kant smiled at Hong San, who was still in a daze.” The martyrs were not brainwashing machines with flowery words. They were not idealists who instigated people with empty slogans. They were pure doers and pragmatic people.”

” The problem that I’m facing now was something that they encountered decades ago. They wrote down everything that happened at that time-mistakes, reality, difficulties, and humanity, as well as the ideas and solutions-in the history of the Party. Every citizen can read it freely, but unfortunately, not many people will read it.

“But I’m fine as long as I see it.” He smiled and shrugged.

The Realm Gate opened. Kant patted Hong San on the shoulder.” So, even though the road is long, we can still see the road ahead. Don’t worry. Someone is walking ahead of us.”

The Fire Stealer’s figure disappeared from the other side.

Hong San, who was in the office, was stunned. Then, he laughed involuntarily. He muttered to himself,”I’m really curious…” Your Highness, what is your ideal world like?”

“But… I’ll do it eventually.”

He sat back in his chair and began to plan his next step.

On the central island, the sound of artillery fire could be heard without end.

Smoke and dust kept spewing out from the rocket launchers on the large platform base. Rockets flew into the sky with thick smoke, shooting out deadly light in all directions. Kant walked out of the barracks.

“Horus?”

The conversation with Hong San came to an abrupt end because his iron son had issued a warning.

This meant that something had happened on the Broken Islands.

“You came at the right time, Father.”

A modified puppet dog bounced over, and the reinforced military notebook on its back played a real-time video.” Twenty minutes ago, the sea felt some kind of tremor. Just now, we encountered a new enemy. Enemies from the deep sea.”

Kant looked at the screen.

“I don’t think anyone wants to eat these things.”

The laptop showed a real-time image of a beach that was flooded with a large amount of gasoline and boiling flames. Sea monsters about the size of an adult jumped out of the shallow sea and roared. They were immediately smashed into pieces by the flying drones with rotating machine guns. However, more and more large monsters began to emerge.

Kant narrowed his eyes. An adult?”

” Theoretically, that’s the case. Through comparison and analysis, the small sea monsters that we encountered previously and occupied the entire sea area are very similar to the newly encountered individuals. The latter is very likely to be the mature form of the former, and the threat is further increased…”

Horus continued,” The dragon scouts patrolling the sea discovered that more large individuals are attacking from the deep sea. We can think that the monsters that were fed and sacrificed are slowly waking up. One of the evidence is that more large individuals are slowly being released…”

” How’s your combat ability?” Kant asked.

” Their bodily functions have greatly evolved. They are more ferocious, hungry, and cunning. However, the reason why modern weapons are so powerful is that the enemy can’t escape the attack range at all. Our heavy weapons can still easily destroy them, but this means that the evacuation operation on the other island has become even more difficult…”

Kant snorted.

Because the large platform only had one base of fire, Horus ‘computing power was limited. It could not bear the burden of opening up bases everywhere. After all, it still had many things to do.

When these large monsters came to the central island, they could only choose between being blown up, burned to death, shocked to death, or killed. However, if they landed elsewhere, the other islands would definitely be in a difficult situation.

” Father, this has already exceeded the scope of our response. If this situation continues, it’s only a matter of time before all the survivors on the island die…”

“If you have a way, please do it immediately,”Horus said.

“Oh, of course.”

” Let’s introduce them to our country’s early green-skinned torpedoes,” Kant said with a cold smile.

6,000 words! An update! F * ck! He was stabbed by a sensitive word! F * ck!

Bastard, I could have stuck to the point, but after I clicked on the post, a sensitive word problem popped up.
