Chapter 1387： The decisive battle is approaching

The Loren nations that are currently in a state of total war do not have too much energy to invest in space, and there are too many unforeseen risks behind interstellar communication. This requires a long process of argumentation, and it is not likely to be involved. The impact on the belief system of all mortals involves a huge test of the stability of the gods. Although theoretically speaking, the act of simply restoring interstellar signals is far less stimulating to the gods than manned spaceflight, but who is this "stimulus" Can you guarantee it?

After all, the work of the Theocracy has not stopped over the years. The nations of the alliance have been using various methods to loosen and cut the spiritual seal that covers the heads of mortals. This cutting process is essentially dancing at the tip of a knife. At a dangerous critical point, the connection between the gods and the people was continuously stripped to gradually cut the chains between the gods and the gods. Without causing the gods to be mad, they kept jumping around the "rebellious boundary". When the process was over, people and Gods will be free, but before the end of this process...the gods are actually at a "critical pressure point" at all times. At this time, responding to interstellar communications...if you don't know which **** has a straightforward personality and a bad brain, he screams crazy. Woolen cloth?

So this matter has to be discussed in the long term, at least until the dust of this war is settled, and until the alliance nations have more energy to control public opinion and can organize a large-scale expert team, and before that...Cecile this What Bian can do the most is the preparation work mentioned by Gao Wen: compiling a modern version of the "alien dictionary" and translating the signals that have been received so far.

When this arrangement was over, Gawain suddenly raised his head and looked at a holographic projection opposite the round table. The figure of Grand Duke Victoria of the Northern Territory was emerging above the Monet terminal: "Victoria, a few monitors in the Northern Territory during this time. Are the stations operating normally? Have you received any signals there?"

"All monitoring stations in the northern border are operating as usual. Since the beginning of winter last year, they have received sixteen signals. Although the content is repetitive, there are occasional differences." Victoria immediately nodded in response, "We are now gradually Once you have mastered the characteristics of these signals, you can capture them in a timely and sensitive manner. Some unrecognizable signals that were previously mixed in atmospheric interference can now be effectively recorded. As long as the'dictionary' is completed, the deciphering work can begin immediately."

"Um...very good," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then mentioned another thing, "How is the situation with the old man?"

He was referring to Modil Wilde, the ancient legendary adventurer who had a wonderful experience and is now in a mysterious "critical state of life and death" and was chased by the power of Lady Night, the ancestor of Victoria Wilde. Due to the influence of Lady Night’s divine power, coupled with the possibility of being contaminated by the reverse tide, Modil Wilde’s current state is very unstable. Half of his "existence" has been replaced by Lady Night’s shadow and dust, and he is positive. In a state of constant collapse and loss, it was relying on the power of the dark night stolen by Amber to barely maintain the stability in the material world. Now he is living in the Winter Fort and is being taken care of by the "descendant" of Victoria.

At present, the three chief consuls of the empire, Baldwin Wilde is personally leading the army. Heidi focuses on daily government affairs. Victoria’s main responsibility is to ensure the empire’s industrial supply and the transportation of soldiers to the front line. In addition, most of the energy of the Northern Duchess was devoted to her old ancestor. Modil Wild’s special experience and the mysterious connection between him and Lady Night have always been a matter of great concern to Gawain. .

"The ancestor is in good condition. After getting a good rest and appropriate mental spells, his mental state has stabilized a lot, and there has not been a sudden fall into a dark night dream in recent times," Victoria nodded, "but He can still feel a distant'call' from time to time, even in a normal dream... He often'hears' the voice of Lady Night or'Wild'. I think unless we can solve those from the source He is chasing his divine power and retrieving the "other half of existence" that he was cut out, otherwise this situation may continue forever."

Gao Wen looked up at Amber when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "...We still cannot locate the kingdom of Lady Ye, it is not in the cruise path of the sentry, but Amber has been studying the shadow and dust during this period, trying to find and The way for Ms. Ye to establish the connection. There is no other good way to do this. Wait a minute, there will be good news."

Victoria's expression did not change, and she lowered her head slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Wen took a light breath, looked up at the figures in the meeting room, and coughed slightly: "Then next..."

Before he finished his words, he heard a "clang" suddenly coming from the side, and saw that the platinum scepter in Veronica's hand was slapped on the conference table. This sudden movement frightened the people next to him. After a jump, Gawain subconsciously wanted to ask about the situation, but he saw that Veronica’s expression instantly became abnormally dull. The gentle smile and eyes that had disappeared in the ordinary day did not know when, this scene was so weird. As for Gawain, he felt that the other party's soul had been pulled out of this body, and in the next second, he heard a machine-like calm and cold voice coming from Veronica's mouth:

"...The first defensive circle is damaged and it is confirmed that it has encountered a frontal attack... The self-repair function is activated, the barrier is turned into combat mode, the command module is online... The core barrier is raised, and the energy is transferred to the combat unit... Computing resources are being allocated and all weapon restrictions are being lifted..."

After the calm and hard voice ended, Veronica blinked her eyes, as if she suddenly woke up, her body shook slightly, and the holy light that had faded from her side floated slowly again, and Gawain felt that the other party belonged to him. The "human" side came back, so he immediately asked: "What's the situation?"

Although he asked, he already had a faint suspicion in his heart, and Veronica's next answer confirmed his bad suspicion: "A minute ago, the outer defense belt of the Deep Blue Well was attacked. My guard The troops are at war with the enemy."

"Dark Blue Well... where is the wasteland center?" Amber sitting on the right hand side of Gawain suddenly widened his eyes. "Wait a minute, the dark priests have begun to attack the Deep Blue Well!? Not that they won't cheat easily. Is that the hardest bone? Why do you scream crazy?! There is an imperial capital defensive circle in good condition and a complete iron corps over there!"

Gawain was also taken aback, but he was more concerned about the situation on Veronica/Ophelia at this time than the reasons behind the sudden actions of the dark priests: "How is the battle? How is the damage?"

"The central fortress was built on the basis of the doomsday sanctuary of the old Japanese imperial capital. It has extremely strong protection capabilities and has seven layers of defensive circles from the outside to the inside. At present, only the outermost defensive circle has been moderately damaged by the violent bombing. The system has been activated and the damage is within acceptable limits," Veronica said quietly, but the expression on her face was already a little serious, "However, the enemy's attack is very fierce. At present, there are energy reactions in all directions within my range of perception, and... The frontline reconnaissance unit saw new entities that had never appeared before in the enemy, as well as a certain large-scale... structure."

While talking, Veronica clenched the platinum scepter in her hand, her tone became very serious: "Limited by the range of movement, I cannot perceive the boundaries of the enemy's position, nor can I determine how many troops are gathering in the distance. Only from the current calculation results, if the enemy continues to maintain this intensity of offense, the Deep Blue Well may be breached within a month."

The Deep Blue Well may be breached!

This sentence smashed into the meeting room, making everyone's expressions instantly tighten. Only Gao Wen, after the initial surprise, his expression has completely calmed down, but he said softly and thoughtfully: "Sure enough. One step..."

The attack on the Deep Blue Well was an unexpected event, but in fact Gawain was not surprised by this. From the beginning, he knew that the Wasteland Legion might turn around to attack the Deep Blue Well when the existing goals could not be achieved. After all, the ultimate goal of those dark priests is to drop runestones and "domesticate" the planet. If they can't break through the defenses of the civilized world, they can only turn their target to the largest dark blue fissure in the center of the wasteland. In other words, as long as The alliance's advantages on other fronts continue to accumulate, and the progress of counterattacking the wasteland and building the blocking wall continues. Sooner or later, the Wasteland Legion will attack the Deep Blue Well in despair.

"Don't forget the previous staff's deduction. Sooner or later, the dark priests will attack the Deep Blue Well," Gawain's voice sounded in the conference room, and the calm and calm voice calmed everyone's nervousness. "Their attack on the civilized world has been thwarted across the board. At present, all the Legions of the Wasteland have been pushed back to the depths of the Wasteland, and the Alliance’s purification device is still rapidly spreading to the hinterland of the Wasteland. Those dark priests have nothing else. They chose to attack the Deep Blue Well at this time. In my opinion, it might be a good phenomenon."

"Is this a good phenomenon?" Amber suddenly widened his eyes, "Veronica is being beaten!"

"I haven't, the battle is still..." Veronica opened her mouth subconsciously, but she swallowed it halfway through her words. She really couldn't hold back her face to debate such stupid things with the shame of the alliance on this occasion. "you are right."

Amber, creatures appearing at night and having a habit of being awkward, is the natural enemy of ancient machine souls. Any creature that needs a face will not be able to successfully exert its full strength in front of her. The more the face, the more obvious the impact.

Gao Wen was already quite surprised at this. He glanced at Amber, who was staring, and said casually: "Veronica’s base has very strong defensive capabilities, and there is a well-established iron corps. It’s difficult to attack there. It is conceivable that in our previous deductions, it was also determined that unless it was the most lasting moment, those dark priests would never actively choose to chew on this hard bone, even if they could fight against the Alliance Legion, they They won’t go to trouble with the Ironman Corps, but now they choose to attack the Deep Blue Well, which shows that they have reached the point where they are exhausted. They are in desperation faster than we thought. This is a good thing."

As he said, he stood up slowly, with his hands on the edge of the conference table, his tone of voice was low and strong.

"The attack on the Deep Blue Well will be the last and worst choice that the Wasteland Legion can make. After this, the dark priests have all their cards. Now the alliance’s four-direction blocking wall has advanced to the old Gang. In the hinterland of the Duo Empire, the Wasteland Legion does not have much depth to consume with us, and if they want to attack the Deep Blue Well, they must invest a lot of energy and troops. This is destined to be better than before on the battlefield facing the alliance. More vulnerable, and the advancement of the Alliance army will be smoother than before.

"Immediately send the news to the leaders of the alliance. The final decisive moment is approaching. Tell our allies, take out everything from the bottom of the box, spread the blocking wall with all your strength, and use absolute superior force. Put those monsters to death in the scorched earth of the old Gondor Empire, and the life and death of the civilized world will be known within the next month.

"We must close the blocking wall before the Deep Blue Well falls, and completely disintegrate the Wasteland Legion!"

Gawain’s last calm and powerful voice seemed to be infinitely inspiring, refilling everyone’s previously depressed state of mind with confidence and fighting spirit, not to mention that none of the figures that can appear here are mediocre people. After identifying the situation, everyone knew what to do. Several things discussed and decided in the previous meeting were quickly fine-tuned. Some less important matters can be delayed slightly. In the next time, the Cecil Empire Even the entire alliance will pour all its strength into this war.

One figure got up and left the meeting room. The holographic projections gradually dissipated in the air. When the clerks of the Supreme Council also left, only Gawain and Amber were left in this huge room for a while, as well as being faded. Veronica with the light haunting.

The three of them were at the end.

The attendants and guards were waiting outside the door.

Gawain got up from the chair and breathed out slightly. Amber approached from the side and looked up at him: "The situation is not so optimistic, is it."

"The situation is not bad, the dawn of victory is indeed before everyone's eyes, but the darkness before the dawn is really deadly," Gao Wen knew that this guy had a keen perception, and his unreliable appearance actually had a very keen heart hidden at this moment. Did not hide anything, "Even if we have a 99% probability of victory, that 1% failure means the consequences of the ecological extinction level of the whole planet. In fact, everyone can think of this...but we can only Don't think about the possibility of "in case you didn't win"."

"...Okay, I think so," Amber exhaled, her figure slowly fading in the air, and at the same time she waved her hand, "I'm going to be busy, the free days are over..."

Gawain watched Amber's figure slowly disappear into the air, and couldn't help shook his head: "...You haven't been free for a long time."

Then he was silent for two seconds and looked up at Veronica: "You can really support it for another month, right?"

"This is the result of an accurate calculation. Within the foreseeable deviation range, there will be no more variables," Veronica said calmly, "I will stick to your arrival."

"...This feeling is really strange," Gao Wen couldn't help feeling a little bit. "You obviously stand in front of my eyes..."

"Yes, I am standing in front of you, but I am also trapped in the deepest part of the wasteland. This often makes me feel a sense of cognitive fragmentation," Veronica said softly and calmly, "Occasionally I am here. When he wakes up in the body, he is also affected by the body itself. It is so happy with the sunlight and breeze outside the window that he forgets the pollution and corruption in the waste soil."

"...The pollution and corruption are about to end." After a moment of silence, Gao Wen said slowly.

"Yes, pollution and corruption will end."
