It was a siren, who broke through the waves from the sea in the northwest direction. The vast deep-sea expeditionary force even broke the calm sea maintained by the Departure Tower, and set off layers of waves and rolling waves like snow tides in Byron's sight. They were very fast. Almost not long after the observer of the Cold Winter discovered the situation and pulled it toward the alarm, one of them had already swept across the sea and rushed to the vicinity of the steel island.

"Send the cold winter number and don't act hostile," Byron immediately reacted, and said quickly to the communication soldiers beside him, turning his head to look at Viola, who was looking at the sea. "Why do your compatriots appear here? Didn't it mean that the Siren rarely move away from Antavern?"

"I don't know either..." Viola looked at her and seemed to be more confused than Byron, "My communication with Anta Vien has been disconnected for a few days. Could it be that something happened there..."

While speaking, the vanguard team that was approaching rapidly from the sea had already arrived on a connecting ramp on the edge of the steel island. Then more than a dozen agile figures jumped onto the nearby metal platform one by one with water splashes. As the leader, a weapon with lighter sky blue hair, holding a trident-like weapon, and a tall sirens with long snake tails behind her. She obviously had discovered the people on the island and the nearby warships on her alert before that, and now she walked straight towards the direction where Byron was. During this process, she and the soldiers she led looked up from time to time at the nearby amazing tower that was straight into the night sky, with curiosity and surprise on her face.

Viola finally recognized the same clan who appeared in front of her, and immediately screamed in surprise: "General Vanessa?! Why did you appear here?!"

"Viola? Why are you here?" The tall blue-haired Siren also saw Viola. The expression on her face was even more surprising than the latter. Then she noticed Byron's face and the scene in the nearby camp, with a little confused expression, "This is... General Byron? The fleet of the Cecil Empire? Why are you here... no, where is this place? Why are you all here? Is this near the continent of Loren?"

"...This place may be very far from Loren Continent. We have been here because of an accident. As for where this place is... To be honest, we are not sure about the specific location here. We can only roughly judge that it is currently in the southwest waters of Loren Continent." Although Byron was a little confused, he could still let the logic follow up normally. He heard a series of questions from the other party and some guesses appeared in his mind, "General Vanessa, right? Why did you appear here...?"

The tall sirens, known as General Vanessa, were stunned for a moment, as if they were smoothing out their chaotic ideas, and then they said with a strange expression: "We are the Antavine Expeditionary Force, and we are on the order of the Lord of the Deep Sea, to support the Alliance Frontline of the Loren Continent. Since the Loren Continent is blocked by an unknown energy field, we cannot open the elemental jump channel, so we swam all the way from the Deep Sea to this side, but..."

Speaking of this, the expeditionary commander's expression became even more strange than before. She looked up at the steel island that was said to be located in the southwest waters of Loren Continent, and her tone was even more hesitant: "But theoretically, we should land on the northeast coast of Loren Continent, not here... the route seems to be deviating."

"The northeast coast of Loren continent?" Byron suddenly widened his eyes, "This is not a problem of route deviation. This place is the southwest corner of the mainland! You appeared in the opposite direction from the reservation! Are you swimming against the enemy?"

The scene was a little quiet for a moment, and a subtle awkward atmosphere lingered between the deep-sea expeditionary force that came from afar and the human fleet that had trekked here. It was not until more than ten seconds later that Viola spoke to break the silence: "Okay, okay, don't worry about this detail if you don't recognize the word..."

As soon as Viola spoke, the awkward atmosphere was immediately worse than before. However, Byron was thick-skinned after all. In the blink of an eye, he adjusted his mindset and spoke with a shameless attitude: "It seems that we have all encountered a serious Trek accident... But compared to the cold winter, your deviation seems to be much more outrageous. He directly deviated from the northeast direction of the mainland to the southwest corner of the mainland... Thinking of the abnormal astronomical phenomena we encountered before, I think this is not right."

The rough "mercenary knight" was also keenly alert. Byron frowned and said something that immediately made the sirens serious. Several sisters from the Expeditionary Army behind General Vanessa couldn't help but talk in a low voice. One of them muttered: "Can we really swam back from the beginning, right? I felt that something was wrong with the water flow under the sea..."

Another Siren seemed to have no reaction at once: "If You are rebelling? If You are rebelling, will you go to the west of Loren Continent?"

"Hey, the planet is round, maybe we will swim around the other way..."

General Vanessa's face became a little subtle when he heard the conversation between the soldiers behind him. Later, he probably felt that this was too embarrassing, so he had to cough twice to interrupt his subordinates' muttering, while Viola next to him said: "I think it is unlikely that You will be rebellious. There is only one Antavern like Tyre, which is more likely to be related to the 'visibility' not long ago. General Vanessa, did you encounter any strange changes in the celestial phenomena when you led the team to come? It's just one or two days."

"A strange change in the celestial phenomena?" Vanessa frowned, as if she was reminded, "Wait, it seems that there is indeed... We encountered a group of elemental rifts that suddenly opened in the deep sea. The cracks that appeared out of thin air triggered a very chaotic current. In order to avoid the current, we also circled a lot. In that process, the sisters' perceptions were more or less disturbed. Let me think about it... If the previous course was correct, we should have arrived near the Loren continent."

"And then you're here, are you?" Byron's heart moved, as if he had caught something, and his question received a positive answer from the other party, "Sure enough... you should have encountered that strange celestial phenomenon at the same time as us, but we encountered a storm on the sea surface, and you encountered an elemental rift group that appeared on the bottom of the sea... You were near the eastern coast of Loren, and we were at the mouth of Aldo in the southwest of the continent. This abnormal phenomenon probably surrounded the entire continent of Loren... or covered the entire continent."

"Large-scale space-time distortion? We were teleported to the vicinity of this tower without our own awareness?" General Vanessa's expression became serious, which could allow an entire expeditionary force and such a large-scale human fleet to be teleported for such a long distance, and in the process, even a powerful Siren General like her was unaware of it. This made her immediately realize the seriousness of the matter and made her focus on the tower again, "...so this abnormal phenomenon is related to this tower? Is it caused by the legacy of the Settler?"

"...It is not necessarily the cause, it is more likely to be just an 'influence factor'," Viola shook her head slightly after thinking for a moment. As a deep-sea witch, she is more professional in the technical field than Vanessa. At this moment, she immediately had some speculation in her mind, "This tower itself is a powerful intersection of energy. It has been releasing a large-scale force field to maintain the 'environment' of this sea area. So when an abnormal astronomical phenomenon occurs, it is likely to become a passive 'focus', like the bottom of a funnel or vortex, 'pulling' us who are affected within the range of the vision to its vicinity, but the vision itself is not necessarily caused by it."

"Not it?" Vanessa frowned, "Who could it be that such an abnormal phenomenon has never happened in hundreds of thousands of years. I don't think it happened naturally..."

"It must be that all things in the wasteland will eventually die and that sentry are fighting each other," Byron said without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, with a firm expression on his face, "Anyway, it's theirs."

However, after thinking about it, Ms. Viola, the scholar-type Siren, felt that General Byron was right.

The group of crazy humans hiding deep in the wasteland and the "sentinels" behind them have been tinkering with Deep Blue Net, and wanting to use the huge "planetary power system" to make trouble. What such a huge amount of energy can do is definitely not a small thing. Perhaps they have already reached some key link, and the Winter and the Trek of the Antawayen Expeditionary Force... are just a prelude to this key link.

Then this is not a trivial matter.

"We need to return to Loren Continent as soon as possible, report the situation to the alliance commanders, and immediately provide support to the southern battlefield, which is not very good," Viola said quickly. She still remembers that before the fleet and the land lost contact, the latest battle situation was that the Silver-Kaoling coalition on the southern front was being attacked by two distorted main forces. Although the situation was stable after receiving the support of the Solin Guard, the southern battlefield was still not optimistic compared to the situation on the other fronts. "Now that the abnormal celestial phenomena have ended, my sisters should be able to find a route to the Loren Continent."

"The expeditionary force will act with you," General Vanessa, who was standing beside him, nodded immediately, "It sounds like the southern part of the mainland needs our support more."

At first I felt that swimming in the opposite direction from the scheduled location was a big problem. The Deep Sea War Lord had a real headache, but now it seems that this "Trek" may have brought the sisters to the right place.

"Yes, we have to set off, but Cassandra and Ashalina have not come back yet," Byron frowned, and couldn't help looking back at the ancient miracle that was still standing silently in the night sky. He was still worried about Ahalina and the others who had lost contact, but he knew better that the alliance front line needed the power of the Empire fleet at this moment, and the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders that he could not delay, "...Leave some people to wait here, others to me..."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, a slight and low buzz came from the depths of the silent "giant tower", and then a series of faint lights quickly moved down from the extremely high place, which interrupted his words behind him.

Is this the first time this tower has reacted in the past whole day?

Byron immediately walked quickly towards the entrance of the giant tower. Halfway through, he saw a familiar figure appearing in his sight with long hair like flames. It was Ashalina, and then Cassandra also walked out of the gate.

They looked intact, but the expression on their faces was somewhat strange, and they felt like they had just opened the door to the new world.

"You're back," Byron stopped, looking at the Dragon Seal Witch who was walking towards him, with a smile as ungraceful as usual on his face. "You just got in and got out of contact. How is the situation above?"

"The above situation is very complicated, I have to tell you slowly." Asarena didn't know what to say for a moment. Although before leaving, Gao Wen had told her that some things could tell Byron, where to start with such a challenging concept is a big problem. She knew that the carefree former mercenary leader in front of her had a solid nervous system, but no matter how thick the nerves were, they had limits. You just said to him, "We just took the elevator to the synchronous track. There was a ring left by aliens on the track, and your boss had already merged with the control system left by aliens." That would definitely not be possible. It's not that Byron's loyalty or acceptance ability to keep up with Gao Wen, it's mainly because it takes two hours to explain to him what the space station is...

In fact, even Asharena herself felt that she was a sage several times when she was acting with Cassandra. It’s a big thanks to her as a Dragon Seal Witch, she was half a scholar, and she had learned something from her fellow tribes in Tallond before.

As for the other side, Kassandra was stunned to see the deep sea general who had been away for a long time, and the sisters of the expeditionary army brought by the other side.

After hearing about the purpose of the expeditionary force and its original landing location, Kassandra was shocked: "You are rebelling?!"

Vanessa was about to learn about the current situation on the Loren continent with the sister who had been an adviser in the human navy for a long time. After hearing the other party's words, she immediately slapped her forehead and poked her tail on the ground: "Oh... what a Tyre's reputation is ruined..."

...

In Cecil City, Gao Wen finally broke out from his long spiritual connection, and the night was already drooping outside the window.

It was already early spring, and this continent had spent a cold winter in the war, and the vast and long war still had no sign of ending. Gao Wen came to the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the cold wind in early spring blow the decorative flags on both sides of the road. The lights in the city spread rapidly under the night, illuminating the propaganda posters and war mobilization slogans. The city is still in peace and prosperity, but the tension of war fills every corner here. The front line of the civilized world seems to be far away from here, but it is incredible in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of pushing the door interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head and saw Hetty walking into the study. The "masterman" had a hint of fatigue on his face, holding a few documents and orders waiting for approval.

"Ancestor," Hetty bowed slightly, and said first, "The searches of call stations on the West Coast have not been responded. We have not yet contacted the Winter Number to expand..."

"No need," Gao Wen interrupted Hetty's report, "No need to search for the winter number."

"ah?"
