Chapter 1330: Dark Side Weakness
The Grand Administrator Bedvin Franklin had a particularly serious expression when he said this, but Gao Wen felt inconsistent when he heard it. Although he knew that Duke Bedvin would not exaggerate the description at this time, it still sounded a little weird to put the four words "excellent military achievements" on Rebecca's head. Hetty next to him subconsciously said: "She didn't make any trouble..."
"Of course not," Duke Bedwin's face looked a little helpless. He obviously knew what Rebecca's usual reputation was: "Your Highness this time is very... careful. She did nothing except commanding the Dawn of the World. As of now, the air force led by Commander Jinna has completely disintegrated the enemy's offensive on the Western Front and drove the enemy's main force to the east of the Wind Eclipse Valley. Ms. Wenna and I have led the ground troops into the central area of Auguste and began to cooperate with the local defenders to clear out the out-of-control distortions wandering in the mountains and forests. In addition, we have successfully established a temporary communication network with the help of the air platform. Now the communication with Holy Helmet City and Red Jade City has been restored... However, the southern region is still in a state of interference."
"Byron will soon build a new communication station on the southern coastline," Gao Wen said with a sigh of relief. "It seems that the crisis on the Western Front has finally passed temporarily..."
"Yes, the pressure on the Western Front is declining. We will then work together with the Agure army to start regaining and purifying the fallen land in the east," Duke Berbertwen nodded, then hesitated for a little before continuing, "In addition... the enemy troops on the Western Front collapsed faster than we thought, and after the enemy retreated, there were a large number of uncontrolled distorted units in the polluted area. Although there is no clear evidence yet, I suspect... His Highness Rebecca's attack may have successfully destroyed the enemy's command system."
"Has she destroyed the enemy's command system?" Gao Wen was immediately attracted by the intelligence, "Tell me in detail."
"Yes," Berdevin nodded, "In the final stage of the Battle of Red Jade City, His Highness Rebecca ordered the main gun of the World Dawn to shoot the Wolf Ridge Mountains, and we suspected that it was the enemy's command node. After several attacks, the enemy's retreat suddenly fell into a disorder. After that, the reconnaissance forces on the front line observed that some of the distorted bodies reconstructed order after chaos, but a large number of other distorted bodies obviously permanently escaped control and began to wander between the forest and the ruins like ordinary monsters. Until now, the wandering monsters showed no sign of returning to command. However, we have not yet found a direct clue to explain what the artillery strike of His Highness Rebecca at that time..."
"Then we can temporarily determine that she knocked down the enemy's command node. It's not important. According to your report, it is obvious that other dark priests took over the command of the distorted people on the Western Front, but a large number of monsters were permanently out of control..." Gao Wen's expression became serious. He noticed the crucial clue in this piece of information. "Those monsters that permanently out of control are the key... This shows that the "rule" of the distorted people is not so stable. If they use some method to cut off their command system, even if they rebuild their contacts later, a considerable number of monsters will break away from this system..."
Speaking of this, Gao Wen thought briefly: "The main gun of the Earthly Dawn... I remember that the range of the conventional main gun in that fortress should not be directly hit from Red Jade City to Wolf Ridge Mountain, so Rebecca should have fired at that time..."
"Supercritical accelerator," Bai Dewen affirmed Gao Wen's speculation, "She completed the final assembly of the accelerator during the voyage of Dawn of the Earth. The shelling of Wolf Ridge Mountain is considered a 'test-fire' after the assembly. Now His Highness is still leading the technicians to continue to adjust and optimize the guide rail structure of the supercritical accelerator, and she is preparing to build another near the central axis of the fortress..."
"She actually made that thing during the fortress voyage?" Gao Wen muttered unexpectedly, "And planning to create another one? It's indeed her way of thinking..."
Heti next to him spoke thoughtfully: "Well... we have been studying how to destroy the command system of those distorted bodies. The main reason is that they suddenly have discipline and tactical awareness. The technicians believe that powerful energy disturbances can interfere with the spiritual signals released by the dark priest behind those monsters. However, we have not found this 'powerful energy source'. Now it seems..."
"It seems that it is indeed the right decision to add three budgets to Rebecca and not care about her blowing up the laboratory. The supercritical acceleration technology is of great value, at least this time it has proved its value on the battlefield," Gao Wen smiled and looked at Hetty, then turned his head to look at Duke Bedwen. "In my opinion, the two supercritical accelerators were built on Dawn. Whether the reason why the distortions were out of control was that the artillery bombardment of Dawn killed their command nodes, or the energy impact released when the accelerator exploded cut off the connection between them and the controller, we all need more acceleration devices.
"You tell Rebecca to let her just build, and all the construction of the Dawn of the World, and the application for transformation will be subject to wartime special approval, and she will fully decide. If the ship-based materials are not enough, the air transport troops will send it to her. The most urgent task is to further enhance the combat capabilities of the Aerospace Fortress Battle Group and verify the destructive effect of the 'supercritical accelerator' on the distorted legion."
Gao Wen ordered seriously, and suddenly remembered something again, and his expression became extremely serious: "But remember that no matter you or Rebecca, you should not plunder local resources or residents' property during your operation. If it really doesn't work, you should use the violators you bought as treason. This is very important, especially the ground troops you lead. You must send this admonition to the commanders at the grassroots level to let them repeatedly preach to the soldiers. We cannot fight a war and defeat the enemy but break ourselves up."
"Please rest assured," Bodewen immediately stood up straight and said in a deep voice. "Before setting off, I have repeatedly emphasized the issue of discipline to the officers and soldiers. After two years of vigorous rectification and reform, the Western Frontier Legion has now abandoned many of the barbaric ills of the old era. Next, I will spread your admonitions throughout the army, Cecil's soldiers with discipline as the basis of glory, and this will not change no matter where the expedition goes."
Hearing Bodewen's solemn promise, Gao Wen nodded slowly, and at this moment, an additional communication suddenly connected to the Magic Net terminal in front of him.
The communication was connected, and he saw the figure of Veronica holding a platinum scepter. She nodded slightly to Gao Wen, and the background behind her was the scene of the golden oak growing lushly in the dark: "Your Majesty, the distortion samples captured on the front line have been sent to the experimental site."
"Have you sent it?" Gao Wen's eyes lit up. Obviously he had been waiting for the news for a long time. "Very good, I will go there soon."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Hedy in the holographic projection: "Hedy, come and preside over the next meeting."
Hedy in the projection nodded: "Yes, ancestor."
Gao Wen walked towards the study door not far away, and a quick black shadow flashed through the air, following Gao Wen's footsteps.
In the depths of the disobedient courtyard covered by endless chaotic shadows, huge golden oak trees stood quietly in the center of a lush lawn, and the slight light canopy covered the once deserted and desolate broken land. The vegetation spreading and growing on the ground was covered, filling the cracks of the originally crisscrossed surfaces. This "garden" built by Amoen has become an especially eye-catching piece of the dark shadow world. The wonderful "sanctuary" Gondor magicians who built the disobedient fortress in the past would never have thought that one day the slept gods here would wake up and change it to this way.
Veronica was holding a platinum scepter in her hand, standing quietly in the glimmer of light cast by the golden oak, as if she was casually admiring the strange flowers and plants around her, and also as if she was looking at the huge figure lying among the flowers and plants. The holy white giant deer Amoen was opening her eyes and looking at the woman standing in front of her. After a while, she couldn't help but speak, "I'm so embarrassed when you look at me like this..."
"You were once a god, and you still feel 'awkish' because you were staring at a mortal?" Veronica showed a faint smile on her face, as if she was joking. "Normal circumstances shouldn't mortals feel nervous and awe when they look at your body?"
"When you brought a large group of mortals to carry out the 'disobedient' plan, there was someone who was nervous and awe-in-come," said Amoen. "You ordered them to slice them on me. Isn't it a pity to see you?"
"...I'm...well, it's about the same, that's me," Veronica smiled and shook her head, and said in a gentle tone. "Who could have thought that your true character was actually like this at that time...No one could have thought that you were just pretending to die for so many years... Destiny is really an unpredictable thing."
"Character... don't talk about 'character' to gods who have not yet escaped from the shackles of divine nature, nor do you believe in a god's 'humanity' before it escapes. It's something we can't control ourselves," Amoen shook his head gently, "Don't have unrealistic expectations for other gods just because Milmina and I are harmless now."
"Yes, I know this very well," Veronica said lightly, "so if time goes back, I'm afraid I'll still order Kamier and the others to slice on you at most, and I'll let them cut it faster."
"Okay, OK, you two are staring here for a long time to talk about this?" At this moment, a somewhat impatient voice suddenly came from beside the golden oak. A lady who was still more than three meters tall after "compression" leaned on the trunk of the golden oak, and turned her head to look at Veronica and Amoen, "Now I've been a colleague for more than a year. Can't we talk about something that will enhance the relationship between colleagues..."
Veronica opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but Gao Wen's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Talking about the old work unit is an effective way to enhance the relationship between new colleagues."
"Your Majesty, you are here." Veronica immediately turned around and looked at Gao Wen who was walking from the entrance of the courtyard and Amber who was following Gao Wen. She bent down slightly and said with a gentle smile.
Milmina, not far away, just waved her hand and said hello, and pointed at Veronica and Amoen: "That's a coincidence. They used to be the same work unit. I was so uncomfortable for them when they heard them talking about their old work unit."
"...I feel much more at ease when I see you and Amoen are becoming more and more like mortals," Gao Wen just looked up and down at the former magic goddess who was complaining in front of him. The topic immediately changed, "I am here to see the 'sample', let's start doing things."
"Veronica just sent that thing over, and I put it in my 'experimental area'," Milmina nodded, stood up from the golden oak, and walked towards a area that was not covered with vegetation in the depths of the rebellious courtyard, while saying casually, "The old deer didn't let me put it under the tree because she was afraid that it would dirty his yard and rub his tree... He usually rubbed the trunks on the tree, and fell down the bark and leaves in pieces..."
Gao Wen: "…"
Not to mention that Gao Wen didn't know how to answer, even Amber who came with him stared at her eyes. After holding it in for a while, the goose muttered in a low voice: "I think there can be a new series outside of "The Emperor's Sacred Words"..."
As soon as she muttered, Gao Wen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. As soon as Amber didn't pay attention, he hit the other party's back and almost fell down with a "Oh" sound. But to her surprise, Gao Wen turned around but did not pull her ears hard as usual. Instead, he thought seriously for two or three seconds before nodding to her: "This can be criticized."
Amber was confused: "…ah?"
“I think this is useful for weakening the influence of the divine power among the younger generation.”
Amber continued to be confused: "...Are you serious?"
Gao Wen shrugged and walked forward: "It's not about me anyway."
Milmina came to the deepest part of the courtyard of disobedience. Here, a large wide platform formed by magic was neatly arranged, and a glow ball used to illuminate between the platforms. There were also many magic servants floating in the air coming and going between the platforms, busy taking care of various things on the platform. Some were automatically calculated and recorded data, some were alchemy containers that were reacting, and even dismantled magic equipment and sliced crystals.
These are Milmina's "treasures".
The former magic goddess stopped on the edge of this experimental field and looked back at Gao Wen, Amber and Veronica who followed her. Her eyes fell on Amber and Gao Wen: "I'm listening. Although I don't know what Amber wants to do, I suspect it's not a good thing."
"It's a good thing," Gao Wen said seriously. "She intends to break the 'god' stereotype among young audiences and help you and Amoen completely eradicate the possibility of being revered in the future..."
"...Really?" Milmina looked suspiciously at Gao Wen in front of her and Amber who was strangling her face to make her act more reliable. "Why do I become more suspicious as I hear it?"
"Really," Gao Wen nodded to the "goddess" with a serious expression, "When did I lied to you?"
"...Thinking about it, even though you sometimes have some strange thoughts, you do what you say. When you said you wanted to hold a funeral for me, you even raised your ashes in a few days..." Milmina muttered, "Okay, I believe you."
