It was the siren, coming from the sea in the northwest direction. This mighty deep-sea expeditionary force even broke the calm sea area maintained by the Voyager’s tower, setting off layers of waves and waves in Byron’s sight. The snow-like tumbling waves, their speed was very fast. Almost not long after the Bitterwinter observers found the situation and pulled towards the approaching alarm, one of the pioneers of them had quickly skimmed over the sea and rushed to the steel island. nearby.
"Sign the Bitter Winter and don't take hostile behavior," Byron reacted immediately, and quickly said to the signal soldier beside him, turning his head to look at Viola, who was looking out over the sea. "Why do your compatriots appear here? Isn't it that the siren rarely stay away from Antavien?"
"I don't know..." Viola looked more stunned than Byron. "I have been disconnected from Antavien for a long time. Is it possible that something happened over there..."
While talking, the vanguard team approaching rapidly from the surface of the sea had already reached a connecting ramp on the edge of the steel island, and then more than a dozen agile figures jumped onto the nearby metal platform one by one with splashes. The leader of the team is a tall sea monster with light sky blue long hair, a trident-like weapon in his hand, and a long snake tail behind him. She apparently spotted the person active on the island before then. As well as the nearby warships in a state of alert, they walked straight towards Byron’s location. In the process, she and the soldiers she led from time to time looked up at the nearby amazing tower that pierced into the night sky, with expressions on their faces. Full of curiosity and surprise.
At this time, Viola finally recognized the same clan who appeared in front of her, and suddenly cried out in surprise: "General Vanessa?! Why are you here?!"
"Viola? Why are you here?" The tall blue-haired siren also saw Viola. The expression on her face was even more surprised than the latter. Then she noticed Byron's face, and The scene in the nearby camp had a dark expression, "This is...General Byron? The fleet of the Cecil Empire? Why are you here...No, what is this place? Why are you all here? This is the mainland of Loren. nearby?"
"...This may be far away from the mainland of Loren. We got here because of an accident. As for where it is... to be honest, we are not sure about the specific location of this place. We can only roughly judge that it is currently in the southwest waters of the mainland of Loren. "Although Byron is also a little bit confuse, but at any rate it can still be normal for logic to catch up. Hearing the series of questions from the other party, some guesses have vaguely appeared in his heart, "General Vanessa, right? Why are you guys showing up? it's here?"
The high sea monster known as General Vanessa was startled, and seemed to be smoothing the chaos of thoughts, and then said with a weird expression: "We are the Antavian Expeditionary Army, and the deep sea dominates Petya. Your Majesty’s order is to go to the front line of the alliance that supports Loren Continent. Since Loren Continent is shielded by an unknown energy field and cannot open the elemental transition channel, we swim all the way from the deep sea to this side, but..."
Speaking of this, the expression of the commander of the expeditionary army became stranger than before. She raised her head and glanced at this steel island that is said to be located in the southwestern waters of the mainland of Loren, and her tone was even more hesitant: "But theoretically we should be in Loren. Landing on the northeast coast of the mainland is right, not here...the route seems to be off."
"The northeastern coast of the Loren continent?" Byron's eyes widened suddenly, "This is not a problem of course deviation, this place is the southwest corner of the mainland! You appeared in the opposite direction to the plan! Did you swim in the opposite direction?"
The scene was a little quiet for a while, and a subtle awkward atmosphere lingered between the deep-sea expeditionary force coming from a long way and the human fleet trekking here. It was not until more than ten seconds later that Viola spoke to break the silence: "It's okay, okay, I don’t recognize it. Don't worry about the details..."
As soon as Viola spoke, the awkward atmosphere was suddenly worse than before, but Byron's face was thicker after all. He adjusted his mentality in the blink of an eye and opened his mouth with a shameless attitude: "It looks like we have all met. A serious trek accident...but compared to the Bitter Winter, your deviation seems to be far more ridiculous, from the northeast of the mainland to the southwest corner of the mainland...recalling the abnormal celestial phenomena we encountered before, I think this situation is very Something's wrong."
When the careless "mercenary knight" was also keenly alert, what Byron frowned immediately made the siren serious. The expeditionary sisters behind General Vanessa couldn't help but talk in a low voice, one of them Murmured: "Should we really swim backwards after we started? I thought at the time that there seemed to be something wrong with the current on the bottom of the sea..."
The other Kraken didn't seem to react at once: "Swimming backwards? Will you go to the west of Loren Continent if you swam backwards?"
"Hey, the planet is round, maybe we swam the other way around..."
General Vanessa listened to the conversation of the soldiers behind her, her face became a little subtle. Later, he probably thought it was too embarrassing, so he had to cough twice to interrupt the murmurs of his subordinates, while Viola next to him followed closely. "I don’t think it’s possible to swim backwards. There is only one Antavien like Tyre, but it’s more likely to be related to General Vanessa in the recent "vision". Did you bring the team here? What kind of weird celestial changes have you encountered? Just a day or two in the past."
"Weird celestial changes?" Vanessa frowned, she seemed to be reminded, "Wait, it seems that there is indeed... We encountered a group of elemental fissures that suddenly opened in the deep sea, and those fissures that appeared out of thin air triggered Very chaotic ocean currents. In order to avoid the ocean currents, we went in a big circle, and during that process, we were affected by the group of rifts, and the sisters’ perceptions were more or less disturbed. Let me think about... if the previous course If nothing is wrong, we should have been near the mainland of Loren by then."
"Then you are near here, right?" Byron's heart moved, as if he had grasped something, and his question was answered affirmatively by the other party, "Sure enough...you should have encountered the weird one at the same time as us. The celestial phenomenon, but what we encountered was a storm on the sea, and what you encountered was a group of elemental rifts that appeared on the seabed... You were in the east of Loren at that time, and we were located at the mouth of Aldo in the southwest of the mainland. This The field anomaly may surround the entire Loren continent... or cover the entire continent."
"Large-scale spatio-temporal distortion? We were teleported to the vicinity of this tower without our own awareness?" General Vanessa looked serious, enabling an entire expeditionary force and such a large human fleet to be teleported like this Long distance, and in the process, even a sea-monster with such a good strength was unaware of it. This made her immediately aware of the seriousness of this matter and made her focus on the tower once again. "...So this anomaly is related to this tower? Is it caused by the legacy of the sailor?"
"...It is not necessarily the cause, it is more likely to be just an'influencing factor'," Viola thought about it and shook her head slightly. As a deep sea witch, she is more professional than Vanessa in the technical field. When she got more information, she immediately had some speculations in her mind, "This tower itself is a powerful energy meeting point. It has been releasing a large-scale force field to maintain the'environment' of this sea area, so it is an abnormal celestial phenomenon. When it happens, this place is likely to become a passive'focus', like the bottom of a funnel or vortex, pulling all of us affected within the scope of the vision to its vicinity, but the vision itself is not necessarily It caused it."
"Isn't it?" Vanessa frowned. "Who could it be? Such an abnormal phenomenon has never happened in hundreds of thousands of years. I don't think it happened naturally..."
"It must be that the gang of things in the wasteland will eventually be playing tricks with the sentry," Byron said before the other person finished speaking, his expression was firm, "The pot is theirs anyway."
However, after thinking for a while, the scholar-type Siren Viola on the side felt that General Byron was right.
The group of crazy humans hiding in the depths of the wasteland and the "sentinels" behind them have been tinkering with the Deep Blue Network, and they want to use the large-scale "planetary power system" to do things, and such a huge amount of energy can be produced. It is definitely not a small movement, maybe they have already reached a certain key link, and the Bitter Winter and the trek of the Antavien Expeditionary Army... are just the prelude to this key link.
Then this is no small matter.
"We need to return to the Loren continent as soon as possible, report the situation to the Alliance commanders, and immediately provide support to the southern battlefield. The situation there is not very good," Viola said quickly. She still remembered losing contact between the fleet and the land. Previously, the latest battle situation was that the silver-kaolin coalition forces on the southern front were being flanked by the main force of two aberrations. Although the situation has stabilized after receiving the support of the Thorin Guards, compared with the situation of several other fronts, the southern battlefield Still not optimistic, "Now that the abnormal celestial phenomenon is over, my sisters should be able to find a route back to Loren mainland smoothly."
"The expeditionary army will act with you," General Vanessa on the side nodded immediately, "It sounds like the southern part of the mainland needs our support more."
At first, I felt that it was a big problem to swim in the opposite direction to the predetermined location. The lord of the deep sea warfare really had a headache, but now it seems that this "Trek" may have brought the sisters to the right place instead.
"Yes, we must leave, but Kassandra and Ashalena have not returned yet," Byron frowned, couldn't help but glance back at the ancient miracle that still stood silent in the night sky. He was still Ashalena and the others are worried about losing contact, but he knows better that the frontline of the Alliance needs the power of the Empire fleet more at this moment, and the heavy responsibility is to prevent him from delaying. "...Leave some people here to wait, others follow I…"
Just halfway through what he said, there was a slight and low buzzing from the depths of the silent "tower", and then a string of faint lights moved down from a very high place, which interrupted it. The words behind him.
This is the first time this tower has appeared in the past whole day to reflect that they are back?
Byron immediately walked towards the entrance of the giant tower. Just halfway through, he saw a familiar figure appearing in his line of sight with long hair like a flame. It was Ashalena and then Cassander. Pull also walked out from the gate.
They looked intact, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat strange, as if they had just opened the door to a new world.
"You guys are back," Byron stopped and looked at the Dragon Seal Witch who was walking towards him, with an unmannered smile on his face as usual. "You just broke in shortly after you got in. The situation is above. How about it?"
"The above situation is very complicated, I have to tell you slowly." Asha Lena didn't know what to say for a while, although before leaving, Gawain had told her that there were things to tell Byron, but this challenged the three views. It’s a big question where you should start talking about things. She knows that the careless former mercenary leader in front of her has a solid nervous system, but no matter how big the nerves are, there are limits. You just tell him, "We just sat Take the elevator to the synchronous orbit. There is a ring left by the alien on the orbit, and your boss has merged with the control system left by the alien. Or the receptive ability cannot keep up, mainly because it takes two hours to explain to him what the space station is...
In fact, even Ashalena herself, when acting with Cassandra, felt that she was a parent several times. This is also due to the fact that she, as the Dragon Seal Witch, belongs to half a scholar herself, and she has also learned from Talrond’s family learned something from them.
On the other side, Kassandra was stunned to see the deep sea general who had been gone for a long time, and the sisters of the expeditionary army brought by the other party.
After hearing about the purpose of this expeditionary force and the original landing site, Cassandra was shocked: "You swam backwards?!"
Vanessa was planning to learn about the current situation on the Loren continent with the sister in front of him who had been an adviser in the human navy for a long time. After hearing the other party's words, she immediately slapped her head on the forehead, and her tail poked on the ground. Come and poke: "Oh... what a reputation a Tyre has corrupted..."
…
In Cecil City, Gawain finally broke away from the long-term spiritual connection, and the night was already drooping outside the window.
It’s already early spring, this continent has spent a cold winter in the flames of war, and this mighty and long war still has no sign of ending. Gao Wen came to the French window and watched the still cold wind blowing on both sides of the road in the early spring. Decorative flags, the lights in the city spread rapidly in the night, illuminating the streets and lanes with propaganda posters and war mobilization slogans. The city is still in peace and prosperity, but the tense atmosphere of war fills every corner here. The front line of the civilized world seemed far away from here, but in his heart it was incredibly close.
At this moment, the sound of pushing the door interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head and saw Hetty walking into the study. The "big housekeeper" had a trace of fatigue on his face, holding a few documents and waiting for approval. The command.
"Ancestor," Hetty bowed slightly, and said first, "The search at the call stations on the West Coast still has no response. We have not been able to contact the Bitter Winter. Will it be expanded..."
"No need," Gawain interrupted Hetty's report. "There is no need to search for the Bitter Winter."
"what?"
"I know where the Bitter Winter is. They are already on their way back. They will soon enter the Aldor Sacred River and launch artillery support on the front line of the northwest border of the Gaoling Kingdom," Gawain waved his hand and looked at Hetty's eyes. "Heidi, come here, I have something to tell you."
