Chapter 648： Crisis turmoil and situation arrangement

As night fell, the lights in St. Sunil's city lit up in the middle of the night.

This ancient city that experienced the crisis has been particularly quiet in the night. For many days, it finally ushered in a night without shouting and explosions. St. Sunil is like a scarred behemoth. In this rare quiet night, I quietly licked my wound.

The city’s lights are much less than the city of Cecil, and the bright magic spar lights are basically only maintained in the castle and inner city areas. Outside of this, the streets are not so bright. The candlelight and the dark swaying brazier, but this is not bright enough, but it creates a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the night.

Victoria stood in front of the window and looked at the distant scenery. It took a long time to come back: "When are you going to hold a coronation ceremony? Or... What else is used to declare the empire established?"

"Tomorrow, the news of the establishment of the empire will be sent to the whole territory to stabilize the situation everywhere. As for the so-called coronation..." Gao Wen shook his head. "Don't worry, let us solve the biggest crisis."

“Do you mean the remaining crystal cluster monsters in the southeastern plain of the Holy Spirit?” Victoria blinked. “Their main force has been hit hard, and it seems that there is no more ability to launch a general attack... the threat you mean is Anything else?"

Gao Wen nodded, here, at this moment, he felt that the two guardian dukes could know the existence of the "time bomb."

"I suspect that the death of all things will activate an ancient god's heritage. Those clusters of monsters are in a frenzy. This is the sudden loss of control of this ancient heritage. I have already obtained relatively accurate evidence to confirm that this **** heritage has 'activity' and is in the Holy Spirit. Deep in the eastern part of the plain... close to the east. Now my army is trying to collect information from the relevant areas, but has not been able to find clues so far. Its energy response is increasing day by day, and the outbreak is only a matter of time...and not too Long."

Victoria and Perdwin looked at each other subconsciously, and they all saw horror from the other side's eyes.

This disaster... This disaster that has destroyed Ansu has a deeper crisis? !

"I know what you want to say - the soldiers have tried their best to save St. Sunil in the disaster, and they sacrificed a huge amount, but they only blocked the first wave of the disaster. Now they suddenly know that it is far from over, even There is a bigger crisis, which is certainly not acceptable, but fate will never cater to our ability to accept," Gao Wen said before the two guardian princes said. "What we are going to face is the possibility of affecting the destiny of mankind. Challenges - This is not just about the crisis that will be created by the death of all things, but also the situation for a long time.

"The shadows on the wasteland are just around the corner, the harbingers of the magic tide have emerged looming, the figure of the dragon appears in the world, and two of the three dark sects are still active in the shadows...

"Our neighbor, Tifeng has risen, it is also a huge threat. In the future, in order to survive, to survive in the disaster, to survive in the competition, we must also rise, and must become the most powerful one. ......

"I can confess to you here that building an empire is not the best way to carry out reforms. It will leave many hidden dangers in the reform, leaving behind many remnants. I can think of a more radical way of change and a more advanced social system. However, time is too late, we have no time to choose the best, we can only choose the most suitable for the time being.

"We have to survive - I am ready and I hope you can be prepared."

In the face of this big paragraph that Gao Wen suddenly said, the two guardian dukes fell into a short silence.

This is not the first time they have heard similar words from Gao Wen. At the earliest time, when the founding hero had just resurrected, he had brought warnings about the magic tide. After that, he also I have been reminding people from all angles of the crisis at hand – but at that time, no one took the warnings seriously.

Today, no one will think that these things are alarmist.

“We should restart research on the magic tide and waste soil and restart those old libraries and archives,” said Berdwin. “It’s time to wake up from numbness – we’re sleeping compared to the world. Too long."

"The crisis of the death of all things is a matter of urgency," Victoria said. "But now the kingdom and the North and the Western Army have almost no warfare. By relying on the Cecil Corps... can you solve the crisis you mentioned? ?"

"I have made arrangements, there will be no big surprises," Gao Wen said. "What I need you to do is to remain stable. No matter what method is used, before the dust settles, the plain west and St. Sunil are absolutely Can not be chaotic - this year will be more than half, the next harvest month will be the key to decide whether we can survive this winter, we have lost half of the grain production, lost a lot of reserve food, if the plain west appears again Bandit and large-scale refugees... Even if the Cecil Corps solved the crisis of cults, we have to face the winter crisis."

The two guardian dukes nodded solemnly, and Gao Wen then looked at Victoria: "How many reserve forces are there in the North?"

"The mountain legion was seriously wounded. Even if it was counted as a reserve soldier who had not been involved in combat before leaving the north, there were only four or five thousand people left. If you recruited troops, private soldiers, and mercenaries from all over the country, you would probably have 10,000. To 15,000 people."

"After removing the army that guards the border?"

"The plan has been removed - the corps of the northern countries will not be removed from the north under any circumstances."

"More than 10,000 people...not enough, but can't ask too much," Gao Wen sighed. "You send a reliable person and take the troops to the east. From the hills in the north of Sorinburg, the Cecil Army is already there. Create a safe passage - before the end of the summer, take over the Eastwind Wind Fortress and guard against Tifeng. In addition, I will also send my Second Legion to the border to guard against it. The reorganization and modernization of the Mountain Legion Let's go in the east, we have limited time, we must fight every second."

Victoria nodded lightly: "I understand."

"The Western Army Corps stayed in the plains of the Holy Spirit to recuperate and maintain the order of the grain-producing land," Gao Wen looked at the Duke of Bai Dewen. "The restructuring and modernization of the Western Army Corps is also carried out in the plains."

Bai Dewen bowed his head: "This arrangement is very appropriate."

Gao Wen looked at the two people. When talking about the reorganization and modernization of the troops, the expressions on the faces of the two guardian dukes were indifferent.

"I hope you understand that the process of reorganization and transformation of the North and West Army regiments is the process of recycling your military power," Gao Wen said. "I will replace their command systems and rebuild their discipline. They will change from being loyal to you." To be loyal to the Cecil empire - of course, considering the stability of the military and the personal abilities you have, the reorganized legion will be under your command, but then it will no longer be a private soldier..."

Some words he must say more clearly, even if the content of the military reform has been clarified before the discussion, and now it is specific to the two guardian dukes, he must also emphasize it again, because this issue is sensitive and important, and Subject to the actual situation, he could not completely deprive the two guardian dukes of the power of the original regiment. This is because he could not find a capable person to replace the two dukes. On the other hand, It is necessary to take into account the stability of the original two regiments.

If it is in peacetime, he will of course choose a reform plan that does not leave hidden dangers. However, there are not many empire-available forces in the internal and external troubles. He must try to avoid the decline of the combat effectiveness of the existing legions, even if it is temporarily reduced.

After all, the weakest stage of a country is not before change, but about change.

And while preserving this huge hidden danger, he must ensure the reliability and cooperation of Victoria and Perdwin, at least within the constraints of the rules.

After all, he does not want to see warlords appear inside the new empire.

"Of course we understand," the Duke of Badwin laughed. "And we will make sure that every family in the North and West understands this."

Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then he mentioned the last thing before the end of today's long talk.

"Finally, about the capital of the empire - when the dust settles, the country's ruling center will move to Cecil."

Victoria and Paterson looked at each other, but they didn't have much surprise.

"To more completely cut off the foundation of the old forces, is it?" Victoria said with a light expression and a cold voice.

“It’s not just that, there are a few other factors,” said Gao Wen. “St. Sunil has been badly damaged. Its function as the capital’s ruler is now shut down. The old aristocratic system was disintegrated, and the military power was almost After demise, a large number of traffic routes are covered by polluted areas and cannot be recovered in a short period of time. The significance of continuing to use it as a capital is not significant. This is one of them;

"Secondly, the new order of the empire is based on the magical industry. The high production capacity provided by the magic industry is the key to ensuring the rapid recovery of social operations. It is also the foundation of our rise. The industrial foundation of St. Sunil can be said to be a piece. Blank - although there are some new factories, they have been shut down, there are several magic nets, but they are not systematic. And Cecil City is already a relatively mature industrial center, and also a developed commercial and cultural center, around it. There are also a large number of well-functioning new cities. Compared to St. Sunil, Cecil City is more suitable as the capital of the new empire.

"The last thing that Victoria just mentioned is to completely cut off the foundation of the old forces."

The families of St. Sunil have been in business for many years, and their pedigrees are intertwined. The power network even went deep into the gangsters and rogues in the streets and lanes, and this messy mess would not dissipate in a short time. Gao Wen did not have time to guard a The broken ancient city and the chaos of this group are the most time-saving and labor-saving programs.

"But if the capital is set in the south, will it be too far south from the geographical position?" Bai Dewen thought about it and raised his own question. "On the one hand, it is far from the population center in the north, on the other hand it is too Close to wasteland..."

“It’s not a problem to get close to the wasteland, because I’m already expanding the development site to the south, building a multi-layered and progressive line of defense. One day we’re going to recapture the land of the southern mountains of the Dark Mountains, and to be honest, the southern region itself More suitable for survival than the North - the land is fertile and the climate is relatively mild. If it is not abandoned, it should be a better place to produce food than the Holy Spirit Plain, and the North... is too cold.

"As for the other point, if you understand the new modes of transportation in the South, there will be no such concerns. From the map, St. Sunil is located at the intersection of Ansu, which is the situation of the year and the subsequent technological recession. Due to the lack of convenient transportation, the capital can of course only be located in the middle of the territory, but if the traffic problem is solved, the geographical location is not so important."

The Duke of Berdwin thought a little and nodded slightly: "If this is the case, then I have no concerns."

The night was getting deeper, the cool wind blew through the study, Gao Wen smashed his eyebrows, and then he sighed with relief: "The things we talked about today are not completed overnight, and in addition to the big frame, the details are also It’s still open to business, come here today, rest early...”

"When...when...when..."

A melodious bell with a hint of holiness suddenly came from a distance and interrupted the second half of Gao Wen.

It is the bell coming from the direction of the Cathedral of the Light.

The three people in the room (Hetty has hung up the communication) at the same time looked up and looked at the direction of the bell.

"The blockade of the Cathedral of the Light has been lifted," said Berdwin. "... It seems that we have to wait a while to rest."

"Let's go and have a look," Gao Wen said as he looked out the window. At the same time, he couldn't help but think that his thoughts were divergent. "I don't know what people in the cathedral will feel after learning about the changes in the outside world..."

After the end of the gods, it is probably to calm the turbulent energy of the Holy Light, or it may be that the depleted gods need to recuperate. The Cathedral of the Light has always maintained a blockade. Until now, the blockade has been lifted.

This situation makes Gao Wen could not help but make some interesting associations -

Before closing the door, the king of Ansu was still commanding the city.

After opening the door, don't say the king, Ansu is gone.

I am afraid that people in the cathedral will be shocked.
