Lord of War

  PS. The May Day update is here. Don’t hurry to play after watching it. Remember to vote for the monthly vote first. From now on-point 515 Fan Festival to enjoy a double monthly pass, other activities have red envelopes, you can also take a look!

  Shaun has been missing for a month.

  This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Cecilia.

She didn’t even know how she spent the next few days after hearing the news. It wasn’t until the appearance of William, Hela, Neil, Diana and others that Cecilia’s consciousness finally awoke. .

   “What the **** is going on?” In the meeting room of the Wild Fortress, Cecilia glanced around at the crowd, and her voice seemed a little low.

  Since she woke up and stepped into the realm of legend, Cecilia’s aura became extraordinarily vigorous. This is not only because of the aura of the legendary powerhouse, but also has a lot to do with Cecilia’s long-standing high position. Of course, the bigger reason is that Cecilia was once a A real member of the royal family, her childhood enthusiasm is also a kind of cultivation for her.

  At this time, all the people sitting in the conference room were following Shaun’s core leadership team all the way.

  For example, Rena, Alfred, William, Neal, Hella, Abaza, Clover, Diana, Levi, Alyssa, Alexis, Xuefanio, etc. Kozilek is responsible for attacking the army on the side of Torus Fortress. Ruby, Elickett and others are responsible for assisting Kozilek. After all, Kozilek has no way to communicate with others; and Ulamog is because of the offensive on Garrod Fort. The problem has not come back for the time being; Noro is in charge of taking over the command that is temporarily missing after Hela comes back.

As for the commander of the Scarlet Knights Dwight, the commander of the Mobile Infantry Regiment Aldolf, the commander of the First Infantry Regiment Stalin, the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment Nok and others, they did not attend the event because they had another mission. Meeting.

“The specific situation is not clear, but it is certain that Sean is not dead.” Alexis said in a deep voice, “The best proof is that including Guru, we have signed a soul contract with Sean. Everyone is still alive.”

“But you can’t get in touch with Sean!” Cecilia didn’t have any fear because Alexis was a super strong. She was obviously losing her temper, “Why would Sean get out of your protection? Don’t you know the importance of Sean?”

“We know.” There was a bit of anger on Alexis’s face, but soon calmed down, “It is because we all know, so we know more clearly what the dignity of the strong is. … If let We have always been by Sean’s side, yes, no problem, but do you think Sean can grow? And, do you think Sean will be happy to let us protect him all the time?”

   Asked by Alexis so rhetorically, Cecilia was also a little speechless for a while.

  Others may not know enough about Sean, but how can she not know about Sean?

  It is precisely because she knows Sean too much, and also knows that what Alexis said is the truth, which makes Cecilia feel even more unacceptable.

  Sean has never been satisfied with his own strength. From bronze to the sanctuary today, Shaun’s progress is far beyond ordinary people’s imagination. No one knows how Sean grew up. Only Cecilia, who has been following Sean since when Sean was at its weakest, knows that every time Sean needs to grow up is dozens of others’ efforts. Times, every time his strength is improved, he has grown up in countless death crisis environments.

  Without these huge crises, Sean’s growth rate might be much slower.

  In fact, even Cecilia can’t understand why Sean has always had such a strong sense of crisis, and has never been willing to stop for a moment. Obviously, in many cases, he can stop and rest for a while, and he doesn’t need to be so eager to move on. But Sean never stopped, as if he had no way out at all, and once he stopped, he would fall into the abyss.

Cecilia squeezed her hands tightly, tears began to roll in her eyes: “I know… I know all of them…. But because I know it, it makes me more difficult to accept! Why? Why? Now, I still can’t help Sean? Why we obviously already have such a big influence, but Sean still wants to be in the forefront alone? Why can’t the rest of us walk with him side by side, or even help him stop What about it? Why…”

  Everyone is silent.

  No one answered Cecilia’s question.

Even Cecilia, who was the closest to Sean, the first to know Sean, and the darkest and hardest period with Sean, didn’t know why Sean had such a thirst for power, and why he was unwilling to stop and rest. , Why there is always a terrible sense of crisis, then how can other people present know?

  Perhaps only Alexis and others know why, but there are some things they can’t say.

  The heavy atmosphere in the conference room made everyone feel breathless.

  Everyone looked at each other and didn’t know how to speak.

Alfred, Rena, Klov, Abaza, Chefanio and others are not good at speech themselves, so they are silent; Levi and Alyssa are not easy to speak because of their identity issues. ; Alexis is obviously qualified to speak, but she is obviously unwilling to speak; and Diana, who is best at speech and adjusting the atmosphere, is not suitable for speaking because of her qualifications.

  Among all the people present, those who are most qualified to speak to break the silence are only three of William, Neal and Hela.

   “I think the priority now is to figure out where Sean is.” In the end, Neil broke the silence.

  Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but look at Alexis.

“According to Elizabeth, before the big explosion destroyed everything, there was an abyssal path, an abyssal path leading to the underground world.” After a moment of silence, Alexis replied. And with her answer, the heavy atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated, “But because before the big bang, Elizabeth was rescued by the Tooth of Nothingness, so she didn’t know exactly what happened afterwards. .”

   “But…” At this point, Alexis’s words suddenly changed.

   “But what?” Cecilia asked eagerly.

“According to Tooth of Nothingness, Sean was dragged into the range of the Big Bang in the end.” Alexis glanced at Cecilia, and then said, “I searched very carefully afterwards. , There is no corpse there. Although there is Sean’s breath, the smell is already very weak. And judging from the fact that Sean is not dead, I suspect that Sean is now…maybe in the underground world.”

  ”Underground world!?” Cecilia stood up abruptly, her expression very excited, “Are we still controlling an abyssal path?”

“The danger is too great. We don’t even know what the situation is on the opposite side of the passage, and that passage can only allow two people to pass through at the moment.” William said in a deep voice, and he understood Cecilia in an instant. “Especially once used once, it will enter a short-term lockdown state, we can’t send someone over. This is completely inconsistent with the original idea of ​​Sean, so we have been on this path to the abyss. Neither turned it on.”

   “I am not afraid of danger.” Cecilia said.

   “But you can’t leave.” Neal directly rejected Cecilia’s words.

   “Why?” Cecilia’s emotions were extremely agitated.

“Because you are Cecilia Connery.” Neil’s voice was still so calm, without even the slightest ups and downs, “Sean’s sister, the current Void Principality needs a king to appease the hearts of the people and the military. We. These are the core followers of Sean, who are considered the first generation heroes, so we don’t have any ideas. But what about the second and third generations that we cultivated? Especially since the third generation of generals, those people have never They have never fought side by side with Sean. What do you think they will think when they learn that the king of their country is not there? So during this period when Sean’s whereabouts are unknown, you are the king of the Void Principality.”

  Cecilia was taken aback, a little at a loss.

   “Then Alexis…”

“She can’t leave either.” Neil’s tone remained calm as before. “Not to mention whether they can pass the current path of the abyss, but that the identities of the three of Alexis, Kozilek and Ulamog are already This makes it impossible for them to disappear for a long time. Because only if they are there, then we will have deterrence, but as long as one of them does not show up for a long time, then we need to deal with more temptations, which will increase our loss. Energy and resources… So at least, until the current situation has completely stabilized, they will not be able to leave easily.”

   “Why should I listen to you?” Alexis raised his brows.

“What choice do you think Sean will make?” Neal retorted directly, “Should you ask you to find him, or let you stay here to help? You should know exactly what Sean thinks, otherwise If you do, he won’t let you stay everywhere to assist, but will take you to act together.”

  Although I wanted to deny it, Alexis opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn’t say anything.

   And Cecilia, also has a dejected face.

  The atmosphere in the conference room fell into silence for a while.

“I will increase the research investment in the Helson Institute, and strive for them to complete the magic device as soon as possible, so as to reach the level that Sean originally envisioned. So before that, I do not recommend sending people into the underground world.” Neal When he opened his mouth to break the silence, his expression seemed very calm, but what he said seemed a bit ruthless, “Because this reveals that we have mastered an abyssal path, and it may even prepare people in the underground world. So. Until we are fully prepared, we must keep a low profile.”

   “Should I just leave Sean alone in the underground world?” Cecilia exclaimed excitedly.

“Although this answer is cruel, but…we can only do this for now.” Neil nodded, “because we have no choice. But…” Neil paused, then looked at Cecilia. He opened his mouth and continued: “Now you are the king of the Void Principality. So any instructions and orders you give, we will choose to obey. My opinion has been expressed, so now it is up to you to make a decision.”

   “What decision?” Cecilia raised her head.

“You are the first decision after you become the acting Grand Duke of the Void Principality.” Neil said in a deep voice, his voice is absolutely calm, but it is precisely because of this calm that it becomes more solemn and sacred, “Is it necessary to send someone immediately? Enter the underground world, or choose to create a void empire.”

  Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help looking at Cecilia.

  Cecilia only delayed for a while, and finally forced herself to calm down her inner emotions: “If you increase investment, how long will it take to see results?”

“I can’t be sure, it will take about a year or two. If it is slow, it may even take several years.” Neil thought for a while before he replied, “Because I have already negotiated with the staff of the Helson Institute. The most important part of the advancement of this technology lies in the core components of the magical device. In this regard, perhaps only ancient ruins and the like can help with the research… and, at the very least, it also requires empire-level resources. Power support, in other words, if Cecilia you want to choose this way, then we must create a void empire.”

  ”Ancient ruins product…” Cecilia frowned, “Magic Crystal Cannon… count it?”

“It should be counted.” Neil is not very sure. “No one can confirm before seeing the actual object. However, the prestige of the Meteorite Cannon is also recorded in many ancient documents. Developed by the Helson Institute The magic cannon that came out is largely an imitation of the magic crystal cannon, but its energy output is far below the level of 1% of the magic crystal cannon. Maybe if we win the magic crystal cannon, it can be in this respect. With more in-depth research, we can achieve a breakthrough in the key technology of the power output of the magic guide.”

  Cecilia nodded, and then asked: “If… If I decide to send two people into the underground world first, is there any problem that needs to be solved?”

“First of all, it is the issue of liaison.” Neal did not say anything about vetoing the proposal, but began to discuss it very seriously, “We have no way to solve this problem for the time being. Second, if this abyss is The path leading to the destination is in the camp established by the enemy, then this is tantamount to sending death, we can not even obtain any information. Finally… no matter whether the people we send can reach smoothly, this path to the abyss will be lost. The other party discovered that it would provide people in the underground world with a way to enter and exit the surface world.”

Having said this, Neil saw the excitement in Cecilia’s eyes, and he had to pour cold water: “Please note, this is an abyssal path in which control is completely controlled by the other party. In other words, we We have no way of knowing when the other party will turn on and when it will turn off. We have to deploy a large number of guards, and… we still can’t get any benefits from it, such as sending our people underground while the other party is turning on.”

  After listening to Neil’s words, the look in Cecilia’s eyes dimmed.

“Such an answer, do I still have a choice?” Cecilia sighed softly, “William, no matter what method you use, you must take down the Fortress of Thorus for me. Even if the magic crystal cannon is destroyed It’s okay, but you must ensure that you have enough research value.”

“The little guys in the Void Realm have been very powerful recently. They cooperated with the magic boy to detect a very valuable piece of information. If successful, then we are likely to be able to insert about a merchant group to sneak into Torus. Inside the fortress.” William nodded, and the long-lost red color appeared on his face. “But this is a race against time. I can only do my best. There are still many loopholes. I can only hope. Eli Kate.”

   “You are in charge of all power.” Cecilia said softly, then turned her gaze to Hela, “Hela, are you responsible for everything over there?”

“The frontline is basically stable and stable. Although we have lost about one-third of the territory of the Wild Land, this part happens to be an area with abundant mineral resources, but people from those countries have not yet discovered the resources of this area.” Once in the planning aspect of the strategic layout, Hella showed amazing ability, “As far as the current situation is concerned, I can draw about 100,000 troops to return to aid, and the remaining troops can only be slowly mobilized to return to aid. There is no way. Help back in one breath.”

   “Then, do you have any thoughts on the garrison of the Rock Fortress and the defensive layout of the Wildlands?”

“I need the steel wings and the 1st Army Corps.” Hela said, and unceremoniously named the two main forces of the Void Principality. “For the defense of the Rock Fortress, I am very inclined to Stalin. He is in The defense of the city is indeed very good. And I hope that the steel wings can be used as a field defense force in the southern defense zone. As long as these two units exist, I only need to deploy another 50,000 troops for the strategic defense line of the entire wilderness. “

“What about the Fjord Fortress?” William frowned. “We can give the newly won Eris defense zone to the Eye of the Storm tribe, but who do you intend to take over the defense of the Fjord Fortress? There is also the Wild Fortress, you Which troops are you planning to garrison?”

“I recommend the Jet Black Wings in the Gorge Fortress. This unit is also biased towards guards, as long as it can be expanded. Moreover, the Gorge Fortress is not clear to others, but we do know that this is Miss Hina’s brood. In addition, it is very close to Oasis City and the Wildlands. In the Empire Plan, Oasis City will be the future capital of the Nether Empire. I don’t think there is any need to worry about support.”

   “What about the wild fortress?”

“Levy and Alyssa are responsible for the city defense and fort management. The Wings of Conviction will use the wild fortress as its base camp. In addition, the second infantry regiment will also be stationed in the wild fortress. In terms of strategic layout, Aldolf will lead the rapid reorganization. Yuyi is responsible for the rescue and the second line of defense. I will work out a new strategic layout network in the next week, and then I will come back to discuss more in detail.”

   “I have no opinion.” William nodded and stopped talking.

  William and Hella have always been responsible for the strategic layout and military affairs of the Void Principality, so when the two arguing, the others did not speak. In fact, they really don’t have any need to speak, because these coordinated arrangements have always been the responsibility of the void giants.

  At present, the structure of the void empire is still in a state of vigorous development. The uppermost core circle is all the old people who have followed Sean for a long time, so there will be no differences or political differences at all. However, as Neil said, starting from the third generation of generals and heroes, their own circles and influence have also begun to play a role, and there will even be parties. All of these are inevitable. Neil and others are currently The only thing we can do is to channel and maintain healthy competition as much as possible.

  Because of this, a true leader is a vital existence.

  After all, in today’s Void Duchy, no inheritance law has been determined, and Sean does not have any heirs.

   Therefore, Cecilia can only be responsible, and among all Sean’s supporters, only Cecilia has this prestige that can convince the public.

   “Then next…” Cecilia took a deep breath, “Diana, let’s go to the United Nations of the Karossa tribe and the Robin Knights.”

   “Huh?” Dianna was taken aback for a moment, and she didn’t understand.

  On the contrary, William, Neal and Hela all showed admiration.

“Tell those two countries that as long as they stop continuing their aggressive actions against the Principality of Garrod, we will not pursue previous war provocations.” Cecilia said in a deep voice, “but if they continue to attack, Then we will launch a thunderous offensive against them.”

   “Is this… to negotiate a peace?” Diana obviously failed to keep up with Cecilia’s thinking.

“No, it’s a notice.” Cecilia said coldly, “Remember that you must be tough when facing their envoys. We don’t need any peace, because we are fearless of any enemies. It’s just that I don’t want to make peace for the time being. They are only entangled. If they don’t want to, then we will concentrate our forces to directly launch a counterattack…. I will give you both Stalin and Abaza, then Hela, do you still need to sit down?”

  Cecilia’s last sentence was addressed to Hela.

“No need at all.” Hela smiled, “When will Abaza and Stalin arrive, and when will I be able to set off and return here, it is enough to have Noro on the side to assist…. Then, to the Kingdom of Ryan I will take over the war?”

“Maybe before we deal with the Kingdom of Lane, we have to fight the United Nations of the Karossa tribe and the Allied Forces of the Robin Knights.” Cecilia said in a deep voice, “The revenge action against the Kingdom of Lane will never stop. …This is our void style, and the blood flag will surely rise again.”

   “So…what about Asuna?” Alfred asked.

   “Let the magic boy come back and take responsibility. Once you find the exact clue, Alexis…”

“I see.” Alexis flexed his hands, with flames beating in his eyes, “I’ve endured it for a long time…. Then, after rescuing people, it’s not a problem to solve those guys by the way, right? “

   “Naturally it is not a problem.” Cecilia nodded, “However, in this battle, I am afraid that Miracle Continent will start to prevent this chaotic top combat decapitation tactic.”

   “This is also the situation that Sean tried to avoid before.” Neal sighed softly.

“I can’t take care of that much anymore. We have to make a good calculation with the Kingdom of Lione about the missing account of Sean.” Cecilia said coldly, “I don’t want to investigate the cause, but this is indeed because of it. If the Lion Kingdom arrested and imprisoned Asuna, then the Lion Kingdom must be held accountable to me. If it weren’t for Asuna’s safety, I’d like to kill the door directly!”

   “Well, guys… let’s get started.”

   “Follow the king’s order!”

  ……

  After disbanding the meeting, Cecilia met Angel in the former government hall in the fortress.

  As soon as they met, Cecilia threw a small bottle of Yinhong-colored liquid to Angel.

  ”What is this?” After catching the small bottle, Angel did not open it, but she smelled a unique sweetness.

   “My blood.” Cecilia said calmly.

   “Your blood?” Angel was stunned, “Why give me this.”

“The Thousand-Year Covenant Empire needs it.” Cecilia said in a deep voice, “I’m giving you this as a bargain with you…. From now on, the wild fortress will belong to our Void Empire. And in dealing with the tide of death, we also There will be troops to support, but after the end of the tide of death, the entire area of ​​black soil and the forest of sighs in your Millennium Covenant Empire must be transferred to us.”

  ”What do you want that piece of land for?” Angel was puzzled.

“It’s not me who wants it, it’s Sean who wants it.” Cecilia was silent for a moment, and then said, “Although I don’t know why Sean wants that piece of land, as long as it is what Sean wants, I will think about it. Ways to get it…So, I will use my bottle of blood in exchange with you. This small bottle of blood is enough for your millennium covenant empire to conduct that blood experiment.”

“It doesn’t seem to be enough, right?” Angel frowned. “There is nothing wrong with the land of black soil. Anyway, if you take over the wild fortress, that is where you need to be responsible. After all, the undead army from the forest of sighs will inevitably take the lead. Pass the gate of the wild fortress. But… the empire will not give you this fortress so easily, I think you should understand this.”

   “The value of this bottle of blood is even greater than you think.”

   “Oh?” Angel raised her brow.

“This is the source blood that I extracted after awakening my real name.” Cecilia said softly, “Although it is not as good as hard work, it is also active blood. As long as you don’t waste it, this blood is enough for all your research. . Even… if you are smart enough, you can also analyze part of the Phoenix blood, or even make some forgeries…. But I don’t care about these, so I just want to know the result, okay or not?”

  Angel quietly looked at the bottle in her hand, which was probably only as thin as a middle finger, and then fell into sluggishness and silence.

  Others don’t know what source blood is, how could she not know?

  The source blood is the active blood in the body of the awakened blood, and it is the blood that is second only to the heart blood born from the core part. This kind of blood already contains the corresponding bloodline power and law. As Cecilia said, it can even analyze the power of this bloodline power, and even imitate it. This is better than pure blood collection. The blood is then purified more conveniently.

  For this reason, the source blood of the awakened person is extremely precious.

  Not to mention, this is the source blood drawn by Cecilia under the awakening real name, and its value is definitely more precious than the source blood of the person who has not awakened the real name bloodline.

   is like the first embrace of a blood clan, in fact it is to distribute one’s own source blood to the embraced, so that the other party can inherit their own blood.

   “I have one last question.” Angel sighed slightly, “Is Sean… really missing?”

   Gazing into Angel’s eyes, Cecilia saw only seriousness and perseverance in her eyes, but not the slightest malice or hostility. Cecilia, who originally wanted to deny, was silent for a while, and said: “It’s not missing, at least I know where he is now, but…I can’t take him back for the time being.”

  ”Underground world?” Angel was also a wise man, and immediately knew what Cecilia meant.

  No answer, Cecilia just nodded.

“The wild fortress belongs to your emptiness… the empire.” Angel originally wanted to talk about the principality, but in the end she changed the word principality to empire, because whether she wanted it or not, or whether she would admit it, the void principality was indeed already there. It can’t just be a duchy, but a real empire that can sit side by side with the millennium covenant empire and even other empires in this world.

   Holding the blood bottle in her hand tightly, Angel hesitated for a moment, and then said: “But I have another proposal.”

“what?”

  ”Do you want to form an alliance with us?” Angel said, “not with my brother, but with me, or…with the Millennium Covenant Empire.”

   “What do you mean?” Cecilia didn’t understand.

“My brother… has no fertility. Therefore, the second in line to the Millennium Covenant Empire… is me.” It seems that some determination has been made, and Angel said, “And my son will be the next Millennium Covenant. The emperor of the empire. Because of this, I cannot marry casually, and I choose Sean as my husband, because my children must be the best.”

  Cecilia didn’t expect at all that Angel would directly speak out with such a secret royal secret: “Why tell me this?”

  ”Because the Millennium Covenant Empire needs a strong ally. My brother, there is no way to protect me for the rest of my life, he even…probably not a few years.”

   “But didn’t you… declare that you have severed relations with the royal family of the Millennium Covenant Empire?”

“But in my body, after all, there is the royal blood of the Millennium Covenant Empire.” Angel said in a deep voice, “So, what about your decision? I believe the decision you made, even if Sean comes back in the future, he will not deny it. of.”

   “As long as you give up marrying Sean.” Cecilia said, “Then I will…”

   “Forget it.” Angel didn’t intend to listen to Cecilia’s words at all, she turned around and left in a cool manner.
