Listening to the message brought by the elven messenger named Sonia Frostleaf, Duchess Victoria's face became more and more gloomy.
Those certainly weren't good news.
Especially at this juncture.
"We know that Ansu is in a... chaos, and you have a lot of problems to solve," said the messenger named Sonia bluntly. The short-haired elf looks young and delicate, but she is likely to be an old woman. The "elder" who has witnessed the rise and fall of human nations for centuries, commented on Ansu's civil war indifferently, but made everyone on the scene unable to refute, "The Silver Empire has no right to intervene in any internal issues of human nations. But what we are now facing is a crisis that has gone beyond the concept of a country. In the face of this crisis, the survival of civilization as a whole should come first.”
"Of course we understand this," Grand Duke Baldwin nodded and said, "The Great Wall is there, and each of us can see that its condition is abnormal, but this civil war is not something we can decide."
"This is a problem that you have to find a way to solve," Sonia Shuangye said helplessly, "On issues other than internal affairs, the Silver Empire will do everything in its power to provide support to friends, technical materials, and technical personnel. They will all be sent, but Ansu's internal problems... can only be relied on by the Ansu people themselves."
Baldwin Franklin and Victoria Wilde looked at each other deeply.
From each other's eyes, they both saw the same deep helplessness and exhaustion.
Don't they know about this crisis? Don't the nobles of Ansu know about this crisis? I know, of course I know, and I have known it for a long time, maybe even earlier than the elves.
How many times did Grand Duke Gawain Cecil warn? Every noble who entered and exited Silver Castle all day knew this well. The resurrected founding hero has been warning people to face up to the threat of the wasteland of Gondor from the day he was unveiled, but every warning he has been ignored, misinterpreted, and even conspiratorial. The nobles of the royal capital said it was "anxiety out of control" and "an excuse for militarism", and even said that the ancient hero was immersed in the battlefield seven hundred years ago, stimulated by the monsters in the dark mountains But even so, until last month, Duke Gawain Cecil's warning message was still sent to Silver Castle.
The nobles of the capital pretended to discuss the warning letter for half a month, and the discussion has not yet been completed.
The Duchess of the North couldn't help but glanced at the Prince of Wales sitting on the throne. The Crown Prince sat there expressionless, but in the depths of his calm eyes, there was a hint of mockery.
"We will do our best to communicate with the East Territory for Ansu...for the sake of mankind, the royal family will do our best," Victoria said calmly, "but this matter is very complicated...we need a little time."
"Then as soon as possible, Duchess Wilde," Sonia Shuangye nodded slightly, "We will also provide the greatest assistance if necessary, and we can come forward to contact the Eastern Territory. In the chaos of Ansu, at least the elves position is neutral."
…
Cecil City, inside the Lord's Mansion.
Before Gao Wen had time to continue investigating the secret connection between the dragon and the Mithril Vault, Amber sent another interesting piece of information.
"According to the reports from the officers sent to the Plain of the Holy Spirit, the giant eagles of the elves were found in the northern region heading towards the city of San Sunil."
Gao Wen put down the plan at hand. It was a detailed report on building the South Gate Fortress in the south of the Rebel Fortress. He raised his head and looked at Amber: "When did it happen?"
"The operator who witnessed it three days ago sent the letter to the Rock Fortress as quickly as possible, and then sent the news back through the magic network communication," Amber said in a stern manner, only when reporting this kind of information, she can slightly Seriously, "According to the speed of the giant eagle... by this time, the elf messenger should already be sitting in the Silver Fort."
"Did someone really come here..." Gao Wen said softly, "It seems that the situation of the Great Wall is really not good..."
After Amber finished reporting the information, the serious and capable director of the Military Intelligence Bureau instantly degenerated into a goose. She swayed to Gawain's desk, grabbed dried fruit from it and stuffed it into her mouth while muttering: "Can you guess what those elves are here for?" Is it?"
"I can probably guess it," Gawain had already adapted to Amber's unruly style, he just glanced at the half-elf, then shook his head slightly and said, "And I also know that I will be busy soon and Still have to be busy."
Amber froze for a moment, with a curious look on her face: "Huh? You? Are you not busy enough now?"
"The elves sent envoys to the human kingdom at this time, and what they want to talk about is nothing more than the issue of the magnificent wall," Gawain looked at Amber and explained casually, "The overload that lasted for three days must have caused serious damage to those sentinel towers. With the current situation, it should be impossible to rebuild a barrier led by the Silver Empire and the joint efforts of all countries like seven hundred years ago, so the elves should want the human kingdom to help repair or strengthen that barrier. The judgment of the status quo of the Great Wall is correct, they should have sent envoys to every human kingdom at the same time, then the problem will come... Anzu is in a civil war."
Amber thought for a while, then suddenly woke up: "Orthodox question?"
"The barrier must be repaired. No matter how dull and stupid Ansu's nobles are, they will not continue to be dull on this issue, but the key is who can represent Ansu to repair that barrier," Gao Wen smiled. Shaking his head, "In the eyes of ordinary people, building a barrier is building a barrier. It is a project for the safety of the kingdom and for the continuation of mankind. It shouldn't have too much meaning in it, but in the eyes of the people in charge of this kingdom... is a vital symbol.
"At the key node of Ansu's civil war, whoever can reach an agreement with the elves, and whoever can go to the border of the wasteland to repair the Sentinel Tower, can represent Ansu."
Amber is not a person who understands the "rules of nobility" very well, but she has been around Gao Wen for so long, she can somewhat understand some of the twists and turns, and she has already reacted at this time: "If you want to send someone to repair the magnificent wall, the Ansu civil war must be suspended, but as long as the royal family and the Eastern Realm continue to have disputes over the 'legitimacy', the civil war cannot be stopped, so if Ansu finally wants to send someone to repair the barrier, then he can only find a complete People who are not involved in the battle for kingship and who are qualified to represent the kingdom...then they can only come to you?"
"Repairing the Great Wall is a big project. The civil war is endless. No one in the royal family or the Eastern Realm dares to mobilize their strength to repair the barrier. But if the barrier is not repaired, no one will survive. They have no choice," Gao Wen exclaimed. Tone, "I didn't choose to be prepared either, it's not just my responsibility, maybe... it's also an opportunity."
Amber blinked, looking at Gao Wen's expression that seemed to be confident at any time, she almost forgot to continue nibbling on the dried fruit in her hand.
"No matter what happens in this world, is it an opportunity for you?"
"No, but the situation forced me to turn everything into an opportunity," Gawain shook his head, "to inform Philip and Byron, and make military preparations for them to come."
"Call them here?" Amber's eyes widened slightly, "Could it be that... you plan to attack the Rock Fortress while the royal family and the Eastern Territory are empty?"
"No, if I do this, I can only damage my foundation and reap a kingdom that will be in turmoil for the next twenty years. I will not do such a thing," Gao Wen shook his head, "But we must prepare for the worst. I don't believe that this civil war will really stop, and I don't believe that the southern border will always stay out of it. The royal family and the eastern border are smart people, and I am definitely not the only one who is trying to find opportunities from this barrier crisis."
Amber looked Gao Wen up and down, and then his figure gradually disappeared into the air: "Tsk tsk, I really can't play with you kind of scheming people. You continue to plan here, and I will call those two people over."
Gao Wen watched Amber's figure gradually dissipate, then turned his gaze back, and his eyes fell on a blueprint on the desk.
It was a vehicle, or rather... a weapon.
A land king assembled with engines, tracks, armor, and turrets.
Although the project of the Great Wall is imminent, Gao Wen is more aware of the efficiency of the kingdom's implementation in this era. The so-called "imminent" is completely different from the production and construction plan in the southern border. According to the efficiency of the royal capital and nobles, they At least this matter will be wrangling until this summer. In such a long time, there are still many things he can do.
"The blueprint that passed the test of the origin laboratory... I hope it can really go as smoothly as I expected."
Gao Wen said softly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to touch the food box in the corner of the desk.
He found nothing.
"...Why are you still taking the box away now?!"
…
The situation in Ansu is a vortex, and the human society is a mess. Although these terrifying upright apes living on land are short-lived and fragile, they have the talent to disrupt their own society, which makes even sea monsters marvel. Ms. Till was deeply touched by this.
On the No. 1 berth of the North Shore Shipyard, Siren Tyr carefully rolled himself into a ball, and while listening to the craftsmen discussing current events in the newspaper, he was thinking wildly.
Human beings, even though they don't have tails, can somehow "entangle" into a big mess.
But these have little to do with sea monsters, at least before humans have the ability to sail on oceans, these terrifying upright apes living on land have nothing to do with sea monsters.
What Till is most concerned about now is that the project in front of him, which has been going on since last summer, has finally come to fruition.
In front of Miss Siren, in the dry dock next to the berth, a brand-new beautiful big ship with a shape completely different from the traditional ships in this world was quietly lying in the huge dock, waiting for the moment to enter the water.
It is a behemoth made of steel, with an elegant and continuous curved shell and two flat and wide decks. A total of three pairs of "magic wings" that resemble wings are neatly gathered and folded on both sides of the hull and the rear of the upper deck, and at the front, middle, and rear of the lower deck, six groups of huge gun emplacements are quietly crouching on the gun mounts, and the sunlight from the gaps in the ceiling shines on those cold metal turrets. above, glowing with dazzling light.
Two "Calibrator" level rainbow light generators, four specially modified "Truth" large rail guns dedicated to the ship platform, and a large number of defensive small rail guns installed throughout the hull, jointly arm this behemoth into a A formidable beast in the water.
This is a product of a new design, combining human shipbuilding style and Kraken technology. It is a truly advanced warship. Although in the eyes of Siren Tyre, it can still be described as backward in many aspects, but in shipbuilding In the eyes of countless craftsmen in the factory, it is already a miracle.
