Chapter 989： Cecil in action

Gawain is back.

The blue dragon’s huge wings covered the sky. The giant figure came from the north and flew straight to Cecil’s capital without any disguise. Everyone living in this area witnessed the dragon flying on the ground. ——In other parts of the world or in the past, such a sight is undoubtedly frightening to ordinary people. Bards and scholars even associate it with regional disasters. However, when the people of Cecil saw the dragon, most of them felt rejoicing—even the repressive atmosphere brought about by the sudden outbreak of war was wiped out.

Because many days ago, their emperor left on such a dragon.

Gawain stood behind Merita’s shoulder blades, overlooking the familiar city scenery, and quickly moved closer in his field of vision. When the dragon passed the bank of the Baishui River, he couldn’t help sighing softly, “Cecile, your emperor is back. It's..."

He sighed softly but did not conceal the sensitive ears of Amber next to him. The half-elf lady's long pointed ears trembled, and immediately turned her head cleverly: "Hey, why are you suddenly feeling this?"

Gao Wen hurriedly scowled: "...It's nothing, I suddenly felt it."

Amber glanced at Gawain suspiciously. Although she didn't feel anything wrong with this inexplicable emotion from the other party, her instinct still made her feel that it was necessary to record this sentence-maybe it was a sorrow.

The half-elf lady has always been very keen.

After a while, the blue dragon landed steadily on the square next to the Cecil Palace, and the government officials led by Heti and the attendants in the Cecil Palace were already waiting in this clearing.

The dragon's wings hung down to form a gentle ramp. Gawain was the first to appear at the top of the ramp. When the tall figure appeared in the eyes of everyone against the sun, applause and cheers immediately rang out across the square.

Standing at the front of the crowd, Heidi sighed unabashedly, feeling that a big rock in her heart had finally fallen to the ground, and then she stepped forward, ready to reach out at the end of the ramp to welcome the return of her ancestors-but there was one The figure was faster than her. Rebecca, who had been unable to stand by her for a long time, ran over her aunt, no matter what etiquette and "ladies' manner," she was the first to run under the dragon wings, Gao Wengangyi When she landed, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the opponent's arm: "My ancestor, you can come back!"

Gawain had already been ridiculed by the girl’s character, and this was not a serious occasion (at least not a place where some video information needs to be released publicly), so he just smiled helplessly and pressed Rebecca casually. Her hair turned her gaze to the equally helpless Heidi: "All the etiquette procedures are simple and the situation is special. Let's get back on track quickly."

"Of course, I knew you would say that," Heidi nodded immediately. "Although I really want you to take a break first, I guess you won't listen to it-the materials have been sent to your study, Victoria and The Archon of Baldwin can connect at any time, and the military and intelligence departments are also ready to be summoned by you."

"I want to find Anton to understand the situation first," Amber walked down behind Gawain, and said hurriedly as soon as he landed, "I hope that kid will be reliable this time."

Veronica left the ramp formed by the dragon wings last. She looked at the crowd around and came to Gao Wen's side: "I need to discuss with the Patriarch about the Church of the God of War. Please allow me to leave first. "

In this way, in the blink of an eye, everyone arranged what they wanted to do. The Cecil managers who prioritized efficiency did not stick to traditional etiquette and rules at all, but Gao Wen still remembered that there was someone The "guest" who belonged to Cecil turned his head and looked at Merita Penha who was still standing in the square in the form of a giant dragon: "If you..."

"I really want to stay as a guest, but this time the situation is special. I want to return to Tarrond first," Melita said in a rumble voice before Gao Wen finished speaking. She slightly lowered her elegant neck with a giant dragon. In terms of form, this action is quite polite and decent, "I just tested the connection with the Mithril Ring and found that the communication has been restored somehow... Although I don’t know what happened, you should still be able to Use it to contact me."

Her tone was as unhurried as possible, and her attitude was very calm and indifferent, but Gawain could vaguely perceive the anxiety and anxiety deep in the dragon lady's heart-she seemed to suspect that something would happen to Talrond , So I can’t wait to say goodbye and leave.

Of course, Melita’s restlessness should not only be caused by a trivial "fault" in the Mithril Ring — it should have originated from the two secret talks between Gao Wen and the Dragon God, and the upper temple. The abnormal phenomena that occurred and the current changes in the gods of Loren Continent, and the "fault" of the Omega system, which has never made mistakes, just turned into a primer, which gave the dragon lady's intuition a certain kind of warning.

In this regard, Gawain consciously, as a human, has no reason to intervene. He is not good at blocking the decision made by Merita, so he can only nod slightly and then casually reminds: "Be careful on the way back-you have been flying very hard. It's been a long time."

Melita shook her head slightly, with a smile in her tone: "Don't worry, I'm still very confident in my physical strength-please step back, I'm about to take off."

After a while, the blue dragon once again stirred up its wings. This huge creature that obscured the sky rose up from the city. After several consecutive accelerations, it turned into a shadow on the horizon and quickly disappeared. In human vision.

...

Gao Wen returned to his familiar study room-he looked at the familiar table, the familiar bookshelf, the familiar carpet and the familiar roof. In this familiar room, you can also see the familiar Rebecca and Heidi Waiting for people's faces.

His mood finally settled down slightly.

Tarrond is a very advanced place. It cannot be said that it is uncomfortable to live in. There are also neon flashing cities, automated homes and various developed entertainment projects. In all fairness, it will even make Gao Wen unable to help it. Recalling the city life in his hometown-at least in the prosperous and advanced aspects, the two have a little in common, but even so, Gawain always feels that those days living in the dragon kingdom... quite awkward.

He has never wanted to understand where this awkwardness comes from, and can only generally attribute it to "not used to sleeping in a strange bed", but now he feels that he has faintly understood something.

He returned to the back of his desk, where Betty cleaned it spotlessly. There were utensils on the desk that he was accustomed to, and all the things he had in hand were placed in the most convenient place. He raised his head again and saw Hetty standing in front of him, while Rebecca was standing a little further away. The latter seemed to want to come up to talk, but he didn't dared to move forward a little nervously.

Gawain smiled, realizing that he had been fully integrated here before-the prosperous Tarrond that was reminiscent of his hometown was after all just another foreign country.

"Tell me about the current situation," he looked at Hetty, "the previous communication with remote communication was not smooth after all. I need to know more details."

Heidi nodded, and now he gave a general account of what happened in the imperial country and abroad after Gao Wen left, and then he began to describe in detail all the things that happened after the deterioration of the Tifeng Divine Disaster: including the sudden attack on the Changfeng Line , Including the battle of Winter Wolf Fort, Andessa's surrender, and a lot of information that just came from near the Winter Wolf defense line.

During this process, she also mentioned in detail the various responses of the Supreme Council of State in the face of changes in the situation, as well as the current plans made by the three-person ruling group and the future considerations.

In the whole story, Gawain hardly interrupted, he just listened carefully and quietly, nodding slightly most of the time, only occasionally expressing some opinions on certain things or asking for details, his brows occasionally frowned. , But with Heidi's report, his brows finally stretched out completely.

In the end, there was even a smile on his face.

Rebecca looked at the changes on the ancestor's face with a little bewilderment-she, who was not very good at observing words, did not understand what Gawain was thinking at the moment.

Finally, Heidi’s long report was over, and the relaxed and relieved smile on Gawain’s face became more obvious. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Heidi: "Very well—I’m very happy to see After leaving, all this is running in an orderly manner."

"Of course," Heidi said immediately, "maintain the normal order of the empire while you leave. This is an order left to us before you leave."

Gawain smiled: "Indeed... but this is still the thing I was most worried about before. Of course, I don't have to worry about it now."

His words are not in the slightest false, and this is indeed what he has been thinking about-for a long time, he has always worried about whether the order he has created is stable enough, whether he can still be able to sustain himself and be stable in his absence. Operation, and all of this has now undergone an unexpected test, and the conclusions drawn are comforting.

Even if he left the empire, even if such a serious emergency occurred, the Supreme Council did not have any chaos. Everything was running in an orderly manner. Domestic public opinion changes, material supply, personnel transfer, production and life were all affected by departments. They dealt with it appropriately, and the three-person ruling group firmly controlled the "steering wheel" at the top of the empire.

Of course, all of this may have a prerequisite: Gawain did not leave for too long, and everyone knew that he would come back at any time; that General Andesa made the right choice and did not let the situation go out of control; Many departments are only operating inertially, and have not really begun to bear the pressure after the state of war has been maintained for a long time, but even so, the performance of the Supreme Council and the three-person ruling group this time made Gao Wen a lot at ease.

Facing the affirmation of the ancestors, even Hetty, who was always calm and calm, did not conceal his happy smile.

She took a breath and asked Gao Wen: "Do you have any comments on our response plan?"

"You are doing a good job at this stage - you didn't rush into the battle after you won Winter Wolf. Instead, you chose to maintain your line and consume Typhon's counterattack. This is the most correct decision," Gao Wen said. This is indeed a divine disaster. Typhon’s “normal people” obviously do not have the will to fight, but the army trapped in the God of War will continue to attack their “enemies”, so military conflicts cannot be avoided, but we don’t have to. So I went to the hinterland of Typhon to help them solve their problems.

"At this stage, in addition to maintaining the front line, the most important thing is to understand Typhon's internal situation and figure out their plan to deal with this divine disaster. If we really want to help, we should also start from this aspect-positive On the other side of the battlefield, just deal with it and comfort the God of War who stupefied himself."

Hearing the ancestors described a terrible madness as "stupefying himself to death", Heidi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Her nerves, which had been tight all the time, finally relaxed a little.

And this is exactly the purpose of Gawain-from the moment he saw Heidi, he knew that his descendant had been under too much pressure recently.

"Regarding the situation inside Typhon," Gao Wen continued after a moment's pause, "has the news sent back on the 25th?"

"Not yet," Heidi shook his head. "The current situation in Typhon is unknown. Given that their senior management has been polluted by God of War, Aldernan is likely to have a large-scale investigation and cleaning operation to ensure that For informant safety, the intelligence department has suspended active contact with all dark lines-including the dark lines of the track project and the No. 25 special line. However, if special circumstances occur, they will pass on the message while ensuring their own safety. "

Gao Wen thought for a while and nodded: "...Well, the correct response should be so."

Then he looked at Hetty, ready to ask some other questions, but at this moment, a familiar mental fluctuation suddenly came into his mind.

"Ancestor?" Heidi looked at Gao Wen who was suddenly in a trance state in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Gao Wen raised a hand to signal the other party to wait, and then quickly concentrated on listening to the brief message from Daniel-the content of the message was very concise, and it could even be received without immersing in the Internet. Obviously it was abbreviated and compiled directly. The information sent is a very necessary caution in this tense and dangerous situation.

After a while, Gao Wen raised his head and smiled at Heidi: "What a coincidence... I just contacted me on the 25th."

Heidi immediately widened his eyes: "Is there a new situation over there?"

"...Two things, the first, on the 25th, probably confirmed how the previous'Announcement of War' came from Obsidian Palace, and the second, and more important,-Rosetta Augustus Typhon has declared a state of emergency, and took advantage of the situation to implement three emergency bills in a single day: closing the parliament, banning the city, and...temporarily abolishing all the immunities of the churches across the country."

As he said, Gao Wen couldn't help but breathe out softly, with emotion in his tone: "...It's not bad..."
