Chapter 386 Gao Wen's preparations for war
When the fire in Changfeng Fortress burned, Gao Wen was about to end the connection with the satellite.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he could confirm that the border negotiations had ended. Judging from the fact that neither group of people had fought, even if the negotiations were not successful, at least it did not turn into a national war. Therefore, after the king returned to Changfeng Fortress, Gao Wen was ready to temporarily end his attention to that area.
Then, the fire rose.
It was a fire that ignited from the inside of the fortress. There was no sign of external attack from the satellite image. The fire spread in the western area of the fortress, but it never spread to places outside the western area. It looked fierce, but it seemed to be the result of human control.
Something happened.
Gao Wen immediately made a judgment and then tried to adjust the focal length of the satellite lens. However, no matter how it was adjusted, due to the aging of the satellite lens itself and the blockage of smoke and dust flames, he could not see clearly what was going on below. There was only one thing that could be sure that something earth-shaking would happen tonight.
Without hesitation, he called Hetty, who was not sleeping, and summoned the Byron and the Knights of Philip who were preparing to rest.
Seeing Gao Wen's serious and gloomy look, Hetty was shocked. She stopped her yawning and looked at Gao Wen with curiosity: "Ancestor, what big thing happened to you summon us so late?"
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment. It seemed difficult to explain the source of the news to others, but after a brief hesitation, he still spoke decisively: "There is a situation in Changfeng Fortress, and I suspect that Francis II is in danger and fatal danger."
"What?!" Byron was shocked, and even his chin almost made a slap. The middle-aged knight stared at the boss, "Lord, your news is reliable... No, how did you know this news?!"
It is a thousand miles away from Changfeng Fortress. The situation there cannot be so quickly. But I heard it clearly. Gowen said that Francis II was "in danger" and his tone was as if he had just seen something with his own eyes!
"Special news channel," Gao Wen looked at Byron without any change in expression, and decided to ignore this detail with the most unreasonable logic of "I am your ancestor, so I know everything". "In short, we must be prepared for the king's death and even Prince Edmund's death."
This amazing incident made the three people in front of Gao Wen stunned. Knight Philip subconsciously pressed his hand on his chest and recited the name of the God of War: "God of War Kyle...what will happen tonight..."
"If the king dies on the eastern border... Ansu will definitely face war," Hetty began to deduce quickly, "The key now is the relationship between all this and the Tifeng people..."
Before Hedy could finish speaking, the window of the study was suddenly pushed away by an invisible pair of hands. A cold night wind was then swept into the room. Amber's figure jumped lightly from the windowsill to Gao Wen, and she was gasping violently, obviously rushing back all the way as fast as possible.
In fact, in order to rush back to the lord's mansion from the southernmost end of the fortress, she squeezed her shadow power to the limit for the first time in her life. By constantly traveling through the shadow world and the present world, she ran almost a day and a half in just half an hour!
Amber obviously didn't expect that there would be Hedy and others in Gao Wen's study. The information that he was about to shout was swallowed back immediately, but after noticing Gao Wen's serious and questioning expression, she still said: "The king is dead! Prince Edmund killed his father!"
Just now, Byron was shocked by Gao Wen's source. At this time, it was finally Gao Wen's turn to shock others' source. He looked at the half-elf in front of him in shock: "How did you know?"
Could it be that there is a synchronous orbit satellite behind this shame of all things?
Amber gasped for a few breaths, at least breathing evenly, but when she opened her mouth, she suddenly became confused about what she should say. What she saw was too bizarre. She shuttled through some space rift in the Shadow Realm to the Kingdom border, and then brought one of the regicides back to the southern border from the Kingdom border. Later, Saldrin and Tyre and others beat the person half to death in a confused manner... Anything in between was dramatic and joking, but this did happen!
Finally she finally sorted out her language: "We found an ancient space rift in the Shadow Experimental Field on the side of the Shadow Realm. I went to check the situation, and after passing through the rift, I went to Changfeng Fortress. Then I saw the king being killed by an old man. Prince Edmund was watching from the side. Obviously he was a conspirator and then I was discovered and had to evacuate quickly. But I didn't expect the old man to follow him, but Saldrin made a response in the Shadow Experimental Field, so the old man was blocked by Saldrin's steel rangers and shot four explosions, and now he was tied into a ball by Tyre..."
"What do you say and what..." Gao Wen looked at balabala's amber in amazement, and then reacted, "Wait a minute, do you say you've brought someone here? And caught a living?"
"Yes! So I'm here to ask you to come and see the situation!" Amber slapped his head, "You'd better hurry up that old man was tied up by Tyr, but Tyr's posture was a bit scary. I'm afraid that the caterpillar monster would eat the old man!"
Gao Wen wanted to say loudly that this was messy about tonight, but in order to maintain his image as an ancestor, he had to kill all the complaints in his bronchials and nodded with a serious look: "I'll go there now."
Then he turned his head and looked at Hetty and others: "Hetty, go and sort out the list of wartime statuses immediately. I will try to come back before noon tomorrow. Before that, you will call the business, farmers, and workers in the territory to prepare for an emergency meeting. Byron, Philip, the first regiment of the combat corps entered the highest combat readiness state and was ready to upgrade to the war state at any time. In addition, Philip, you will go to Kant tomorrow and pass the orders to the Knights of Wald Perici to strengthen defense, especially pay attention to whether there are any abnormal movements in the aristocratic territory in the northern region. If so, report it as soon as possible."
The north of Kant's territory is the Carroll's territory. The main gateway to the Holy Spirit Plain can also be regarded as a buffer area between the hinterland and the southern border of the kingdom. According to the fire inside the Changfeng Fortress and the information brought by Amber, Gao Wen believed that this might be a horrifying court struggle, and its level of sinisterness may even exceed that of the Wuyue Civil Disaster that year, all the nobles of the Kingdom of Wuyue might fall into a melee. Although he believed that the southern border, which had been on the edge of the kingdom for a long time, might not be involved in this turmoil soon, he still had to find a way to guard against the threat from the Holy Spirit Plain.
Of course, another reason is that he wants to give the unstable Second Corps a thing to do to prevent problems from happening when the situation changes when the situation changes.
Seeing Gao Wen was about to get up and leave, Hetty couldn't help asking: "Do you need to find something for Rebecca? She is Cecil after all..."
Rebecca is the only heir of the Cecil family. Although she is neither good at internal affairs nor military affairs, Herty's traditional aristocratic thoughts still make her feel that Rebecca should also be involved in these things.
Gao Wen looked at Hetty deeply: "Let Rebecca have a good rest, go to the Magic Technology Institute as usual tomorrow, and continue to develop the vehicle chassis or printing machines that she does, which is as important as preparing for a war."
Then he added: "Hetty, times have changed, and a person's duties should be determined by ability, not by blood."
After putting down this sentence, Gao Wen and Amber left the lord's mansion together.
...
In the Shadow Experimental Field, Saldrin and his soldiers were on alert around the pool, while Siren Tyr still maintained the terrifying and refreshing "Sea Demon" form, using a large number of tentacles to control Clement's actions.
But in fact, even if she didn't tie the unlucky guy with her tentacles, the latter had almost no strength to resist or escape.
The power of the four explosions was not a joke. After the forced life-extension effect of the anaphylactic surgery and the life transformation, unprecedented weakness almost directly killed Clement. If Tyre had not discovered that his "prey" was slowly dying in time, Clement would have been a corpse at this time.
"I'll tell you, don't die," Tyre kept slapping Clement's face with a tentacle, making the enemy who had fallen into a daze wake up again and again. Miss Siren's tone was full of worry, "If you die in my hands, I will never have to count on the 'little cookies' collected by Gao Wen..."
Obviously, this Siren Miss has not given up on the idea of beating the "God of Nature" corpse at Gawain's hand...
Saldrin looked at Tyre with a weird expression and used the right healing technique to hang the prisoner's life again and again, and used his tentacles to interact with the other party in a weird way. He couldn't help but ask: "Don't you really think that your current form can scare people to death?"
Tyre looked down at his upper torso covered with scales and his ferocious and weird lower tentacles, with a confused look on his face: "Don't you think our sisters over there will do this..."
Saldrin muttered helplessly: "...What kind of aesthetics are you siren..."
"Whoever can change the appearance is more beautiful," Tyr replied naturally, "Anyway, everyone will deform, and their ordinary appearance is just a little long..."
Gao Wen arrived in such a weird atmosphere.
The first time he entered the Shadow Experimental Field, he saw Tyre, who occupied the entire pool, with a huge body and weird shape, and Tyre's tentacles that were twisting and twisting, even more octopus than octopus.
His first reaction was whether he wanted to live a san hek...
"You'd better not stare at her tentacles," Amber, who followed Gao Wen, reminded, "These tentacles with patterns are very evil. Just stare at them and will immediately affect your mind. Then you will become a particularly positive, optimistic, cheerful and energetic person, for at least two hours..."
Gao Wen: "???"
