Chapter 986 Return
Hearding Duke Bedwin's words, Hetty nodded slightly.
The key to this disaster from the beginning was the Tifeng people themselves, and the subsequent performance of Tifeng people will undoubtedly affect the final direction of this matter. If it completely goes out of control, then the entire Tifeng will inevitably become a polluted area. At that time, regardless of whether Cecil is willing to be involved in a larger war, this war that should not be fought will definitely continue, but if Tifeng people control the situation...
Then there is a lot of room for operation.
Thoughts were rising and falling in his heart, Hetty couldn't help but sigh softly: "Although the loss of control of every god means a huge disaster... it is obvious that the God of War is more difficult than other gods."
"What I worry most now is whether the war will undergo unknown changes in the subsequent period if the war continues," Duke Berber said in a deep voice. "He may gradually get rid of madness and return to the position of the righteous god as the war 'returns to the right track'. It may also be that the crazy state is irreversible. This crazy god will become stronger and stronger as the war continues to continue and begin to influence more people affected by the war..."
"At the end of the day, we don't know enough about the gods," said Victoria's Grand Duke with a cold expression. "We are not sure whether the state of the Mad God is reversible, nor whether the God of War can draw strength in the process of war - we only know that His power comes from the faith of mortals, but this process of absorption... cannot be quantified at this stage, and we do not have reliable means to collect the popular tendencies of Tifeng."
Hetty nodded, rubbing his forehead gently and said, "No matter what, taking down the Winter Wolf Castle is the first step. The question now is how to go the second step."
Duke Bedevin said while thinking: "According to our previous plan, after occupying Winter Wolf Castle, we should immediately march towards the Winter Wolf Castle defense line and the Shadow Swamp direction, control the Tifeng people's assembly points in the north and the hub station of the cross-border railway, and then rely on armored trains and mechanized troops to advance quickly to attack Aldernan in the shortest time. If Aldernan is difficult to capture, we will quickly occupy the transportation critical point of Tarenkins, cut Tifeng's grain production land and industrial raw material transportation hub, and find ways to cause a large-scale grain shortage and industrial shutdown..."
"The people of Tifong should thank Andesha Wendell. All this will not happen now," Hurtie shook his head. "Since we know that Tifong is not really declaring war and that they are working to fight this disaster within, it is necessary for our promotion plan to make adjustments. Victoria Grand Consul, what are your opinions?"
"Let the First Legion temporarily stop advancing eastward, build fortifications in Winter Wolf Castle, and at the same time, in the north and south of Winter Wolf Castle, each looking for favorable terrain to set up strongholds, and block the entire area with long-range artillery positions - this blockade was maintained in the first stage, and can attack and retreat or defend. As long as this blockade is not lost, all actions of Tifeng will fall into a passive position," Victoria said clearly her view. Among the three-man ruling group, her military experience is obviously more abundant than the other two, "At the same time, further collect information within Tifeng...
"As of now, the intelligence network we set up in Tifeng has been greatly affected by the situation there. For the sake of protecting intelligence personnel, many hidden lines have been lurking recently, but if the situation there continues to be chaotic, the activities of intelligence personnel will become safer...
"In addition, I think it is necessary to grasp the recent changes in the situation in Tifeng through other ways, such as the line between the Kaoling Kingdom and the Silver Empire - they have a lot of communication with Tifeng in the southern part of the mainland. Perhaps the news from their side can prove the information provided by Andesha Wendell. Of course, our intelligence power there is relatively weak. Perhaps only the Silver Empire can provide some reliable information, but there is still better than not..."
Victoria finished her thoughts one by one, and then left time to Hetty and Duke Bedwin. In the next period of time, the topic of the three great consuls revolved around the subsequent actions against Tiphon.
After the discussion came to an end, Hetty finally had time to pick up the water cup on the table. Duke Bedvin Franklin, opposite the communication channel, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Great Consul of Hetty, hasn't there any reply yet?"
Hetty held the water cup, her face a little complicated for a moment. She shook her head, and her tone was a little worried: "There is still no news..."
"...Your Majesty will come back safely," Victoria said in a cold voice, "He is the one who can play with the gods."
After talking a few more words, Bedevin and Victoria said goodbye to Hetty, closing the Magic Net terminal one by one and the other. As the slight buzzing sound remaining after the equipment was turned off, Hetty was finally left in the huge office - the room became very quiet for a while, and even quiet allowed Hetty to hear his breathing.
She suddenly took a deep breath, rubbed her eyebrows hard, and then hesitated to reach out to the drawer beside her. After a moment, she took out a small silver-white ring from the inside of the drawer that was kept by a delicate box.
Hetty stared at the ring for two seconds before reaching out to try to rub its surface and injecting magic into its interior.
Just like when she tried yesterday, Mirsin Ring had no response, and this was her sixth attempt in the past twenty-four hours.
Herty couldn't help but rub her eyebrows again, and she took this opportunity to lower her head, as if to prevent anyone from seeing her irritability and anxiety at this moment - even though there was no one else in the office except her.
The Mithril Ring in her hand is the "emergency contact tool" left by Gao Wen before leaving. It is said that it uses superb technology from Tallond and can maintain communication even across the continent.
Tarlond is far away from the human world and the eternal storm, and the existing Magic Network communications are beyond the reach, so Gao Wen left behind something to ensure that he could contact him urgently when the situation on the mainland changes greatly and the empire is facing a crisis.
But now this thing has no response - Hedy doesn't know what went wrong, is his operation wrong, or is the precision device malfunctioning, or... it's even worse.
This upset her, but no one can tell her about it.
She threw the Misilan ring back on the table, and the metal collided with the table and made a crisp sound. The ring bounced on the table twice, then rolled to the side and stopped.
Almost as she threw the Misilian ring back on the table, a magic net terminal that had just been shut down not long ago suddenly lit up, and a buzzing sound came from the base of the machine. The holographic projection above showed the identification mark of the dedicated line inside the North Winter Fort - Hetty was stunned for a moment and quickly connected the communication. So the Duke of Victoria, who had just been disconnected, appeared in the holographic projection again.
"The Great Consul of Victoria?" Herty looked at the projection in surprise, "What happened..."
"The North Port Hub Tower just received an identification signal from the northern waters," Victoria Wilder spoke in a cold and slightly hurried voice before Hetty could finish his speech, "It should be the two large magic network terminals that His Majesty carried sending messages!"
Hearding this news, Hetty's first reaction was shocked to look at the Misilian Ring on the table that had just been thrown aside by himself, and then he stared at Victoria with his eyes: "Have you confirmed it? Have you contacted me?"
"The signal characteristics have been confirmed, and the magic net signal from the sky above the northern seas cannot be anything else, but the signal is still very weak at present. It should be that the distance is too far, so there is no way to establish communication. They only sent and received short messages representing peace," said Victoria. "But according to the current signal enhancement curve, it will be possible to barely communicate in about ten minutes."
"Please go here as soon as possible!" Hetty said immediately.
"I'm already doing this."
Ten minutes...Herty never thought that just ten minutes could be so long. She was restless, anxious and expectant to see joy and confusion all the emotions mixed together. She wanted to get up and walk or tidy up her face, but she was worried that such a move would be seen by her ancestors who might be connected at any time. So she had to force herself to suppress it and sit behind the desk in the usual dignified and steady posture. She felt that she had been waiting for almost forty thousand years in this state, and she thought that the Duchess of Victoria in the holographic projection of the magic network terminal next to her must be as difficult as she - but she was used to being slimmed in the snow and ice fair, and she couldn't see it at this time...
Her thinking had just begun to diverge, and light and shadow suddenly jumped over the magic net terminal used for transfer on the other side of the desk - Hetty felt his breathing and heartbeat also beating - then, in the severe interference and distortion, some blurred shadows gradually emerged in the holographic projection, accompanied by waves of noise-filled sounds.
Although he still couldn't see clearly, Hetty was sure that he was indeed his ancestor! It was indeed the figure of Govin Cecil.
The ancestor seemed to be talking, but she couldn't hear clearly now. Then after a while, she saw that the picture became slightly more stable and clear, and human voices appeared intermittently in the noises. The sound gradually became coherent. She heard the ancestor calling her name: "Hedy...interference...heard...can you hear clearly now?"
"Okay, ancestor!" Hetty said immediately. She didn't notice that she had stood up. "There is still a little disturbance, but she can hear it clearly!"
With just a few words, she saw that the sound and picture presented by the Magic Net terminal seemed a little clearer than before.
Obviously, the ancestors were approaching the continent of Loren - Hetty could almost imagine the scene of a dragon rushing through the air at full speed.
"I can finally hear your voice," Gao Wen's voice sounded, "Very good. It seems that these two devices have not broken down after some tossing. Hetty, tell me about your current situation. Has something happened to Loren Continent recently?"
"How could you know..." Hetty was instinctively surprised at first, but then he realized that she did not care about how the ancestors learned that the situation in the mainland was drastically changing, but spoke directly, "Ancestors, the disaster of Tifeng's gods worsened, some of the troops lost control and attacked us--we and Tifeng had entered a state of 'war' when we had to fight back."
"Ah?!" Gao Wen was obviously stunned for a moment - even though there were many interference ripples on the picture, Hetty could be sure that he saw the shocked expression of his ancestors.
Can you surprise your ancestors who are always majestic and reliable so much... Maybe you should feel proud?
Hetty smiled wryly and said to himself, and then had to report the subsequent situation to Gao Wen: "...After the war broke out, we chose to advance the front to the east. General Philip led the First Legion, with the assistance of the Dragoon troops, to capture the Winter Wolf Castle at dawn today - now our army has built a turret and bunker on the Tifeng people's border."
"……ah?!"
"In addition, the Winter Wolf Castle defenders took the initiative to surrender under the leadership of its supreme commander Andersa Wendell, and we ended the battle over there more easily than expected..."
"……ah!?"
After three consecutive "ahs", Gao Wen finally recovered from his astonishment. His figure became clearer in the holographic projection, and his voice came into Hedy's ears more clearly: "Wait, such a big change has happened, why didn't you use the Misilian Ring to contact me directly?"
Hetty was stunned for a moment, subconsciously putting his eyes on the silver-white ring on the table, and then he spoke: "I tried it several times, haven't you received it?"
"Have you tried?" Gao Wen seemed even more surprised than Hetty, "but I really didn't react here..."
Hetty: "???"
Is there something wrong with my own operation? Or is this Tallond Creature, which claims to have extremely high technical content, really malfunctioned?
A new question broke out in her mind for a moment, but before she spoke, Gao Wen's voice had already come again: "Anyway, don't worry about the problem of the Mithril Ring, let me tell you the current situation - we are moving closer to the North Port coastline, and you try to tell me how many things I have missed."
...
The cold wind roared outside the protective barrier, and the endless ocean was sweeping by rapidly under the dragon. At the end of the slightly undulating sea water, the outline of the continent could be vaguely seen.
Gowen stood in the middle of Melita's broad back and listened to the situation reported by Herty in amazement.
"Just one long journey..." He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "When he comes back, the whole world will be turned upside down."
"Before I set off, I always felt something was going to happen!" Amber kept beside him, "You don't believe my intuition. I told you that my intuition is accurate. A month ago, I suspected that this winter is not good. You see, something happened, otherwise..."
The half-elves's BB voice was a headache. Gao Wen was extremely sorry that there was no wall on Melita's back - he could not even take the noisy amber on the wall.
"Melita," he finally forcibly ignored Amber's Niannian, turned his head and shouted at the giant dragon head in front of him, "Hetty just said that the Misilian Ring did not respond. What's going on?"
"I don't know either! There has never been a similar situation before!" Melita's voice was obviously a little nervous, and the surprise in her tone was not a false statement. "The Misilian Ring...that thing is directly connected to the Omega system, and all information transmission and reception will be completed by Omega himself. Even if a certain ring is damaged or offline, the relevant damage report will be instantly transmitted to Tallond and sent to the ring custodian and the person in charge of each level - I am the person in charge of your ring, but I have not received any similar news at all."
Gao Wen frowned: "Has Omega made a mistake?"
