Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters take over
Gao Wen should have thought that no matter how much nonsense to talk to Tyre, a saltwater fish, would be effective as letting her eat a "small snack". Seeing Tyre's face full of interest, he felt that all the saliva had been wasted just now.
But it's not bad, the process is not important, as long as the saltwater fish is willing to help.
The verified iridescent device is a very huge weapon, and compared to its huge size, the supporting energy module required for the iridescent device is even more impressive. According to the technical report provided by Carmier, the iridescent device needs to supply energy stably for a long time to operate effectively. At present, the magic capacitors used in various magic crystal rail guns cannot meet this requirement, which determines that a iridescent device is either built on a fixed magic network to become a fixed turret, or it has to "drag" a large area of magic network battlefield. With Cecil's current transportation technology, it is difficult to transport the iridescent device from land to the front line and ensure that it can be turned on.
It is not that it is impossible to send the parts in pieces and then construct them on the battlefield, but the time required is too long, which does not meet Gao Wen's requirement of "taking the Rock Fortress in a short time". Moreover, he has the skill of slowly assembling the rainbow light device. Philip cannon slowly blasting the fortress city walls with a magic crystal cannon. In this way, the new weapon will completely lose its meaning of appearance.
The best choice is to use a boat, and use the natural waterway of Baishui River to directly send the rainbow light device to the foot of the Rock Fortress.
In any case, the transportation capacity of large cargo ships is far better than that of land transportation. Moreover, the ship itself is large enough to facilitate the installation of various magical institutions inside. In addition, transportation through rivers, Gao Wen’s idea of using the water of the Baishui River to cool the rainbow device is more convenient to implement, so no matter how you look at it, water transportation is the best solution.
In fact, even without the "rainbow light device", Gao Wen had already arranged to build his own surface combat force to annihilate the army of Earl Pebo on the Baishui River. He seized a group of "warships" of southern nobles, and then arranged a group of craftsmen and magic technicians to try to modernize the ships. He did not think that he would build a batch of new ones, but shipbuilding is really a technical job. The little written knowledge he accumulated in his previous life as a keyboard warrior was not enough to create practically available modern ships. The existing shipbuilding technology in this world has undergone serious technological cessation and regression. The shipbuilding craftsmen who can recruit can only build inland ships of the same level as the ships of the "Pebo Fleet". Therefore, he had to choose to modernize the warships seized by his side, saving time and costs, and on the other hand, making technical accumulation.
However, the transformation of those ships has not been completed and even recently encountered technical difficulties in power.
The war was about to begin in the Rock Fortress, and he had no time to wait for his warship to slowly transform, so after thinking about it, he decided to come and find the ready-made "water transport expert" in the territory to help. Tyre called himself "Tidal Master", and she should be trustworthy in this regard.
Of course, in his cautious and prudent style, Gao Wen did not put all his hopes on Tyre. If the saltwater fish made up his mind to sleep in the pool forever, he also had a backup plan: at worst, he could get a few more cannons for Philip, and he was afraid that he would not be able to open the door of the Rock Fortress?
No matter how strong the magic shield of the Rock Fortress is, it cannot withstand the continuous bombing of heavy artillery.
After promising to help and repeatedly confirming that she really had snacks to eat, Tyre's excitement slowly faded away. She yawned a big yawn, and her eyes became sleepy again: "Do you have something to do? If it's okay, I'll continue to sleep... and go to the dock when I wake up..."
Gao Wen looked at the siren who had already begun to sink slowly in the water, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is something that Storm Son is fighting with the siren again. Do you know what's going on?"
"Ah? Fighting again?" Tyre floated up from the water with a bubble, with a cute look on his face. "Isn't this time just now that the stars have returned to their positions? My sisters should be eating on the seabed... We don't dig big squids, nor do we wander around the islands and reefs of Storm Sons, why are those broken-minded humans going crazy?"
Gao Wen looked at Tyr's heartfelt confused expression and frowned slightly: "So, you don't know what happened."
"Of course I don't know," Tyr shook his head. "I've been staying under your nose. How did you know about the deep sea? But then again, how did you know about it?"
"I have my own information channel," Gao Wen did not directly answer the other party's question, but said perfunctorily. Then he noticed Tyre's calm look and couldn't help asking curiously, "Aren't you worried about the situation in your hometown?"
"There is nothing to worry about. Those Storm Sons can't carry any big storms. The ocean is a sirens," Tyre said casually, and then yawned. "And it's a long way to swim back from here. I'd better accumulate more energy... When I get energetic... I'll consider going back and taking a look..."
Looking at the appearance of this salted fish spirit, Gao Wen felt that this guy would not be able to go back in his life.
He shook his head helplessly, turned around and left Tyr's pool with Amber, but when the two were about to reach the door, a sound of water suddenly came from the pool. Miss Siren was slid on the edge of the pool and looked at Gao Wen: "Ah, I just thought of a possibility..."
Gao Wen turned around and looked at her: "What's possible?"
"The Endless Sea is shrouded in magic storms. The sea is the first place to observe magic changes and is also the most susceptible to magic," Tyr's face was thoughtful. "Those Storm Sons have been on the sea for too long, maybe... they can feel the coming of the demon tide."
Gao Wen's expression became serious. After a serious silence for half a minute, he nodded slightly to Tyre: "Thank you for your reminder."
Tyre didn't say much, but waved his hand in the pool, then leaned back and continued to use that arrogant and domineering sleeping position to turn his belly in the water and start sleeping.
After leaving Tyre's room, Amber couldn't help but mutter: "Demon Tide, Demon Tide... It would be great if this kind of thing didn't exist... Every time someone reminded me, I felt all over my body."
"It's good to get used to it. We were closer to the Demon Tide back then," Gao Wen said calmly, "No matter how the Demon Tide comes, as long as people are still alive, their lives will still have to be as usual."
"Okay, as you often say, anyway, there is a tall one that falls down and you are so big. You will definitely be able to hold it for a long time," Amber's ears shook, and let the Demon Tide aside for the time being, "I'm so sleepy, there's nothing else to do today, right?"
"It's okay today," Gao Wen nodded, "But if you have something to do tomorrow, go to Gelan with me."
Before the army set out on the war, it was time to "receive" Gelen's leadership with great fanfare.
...
Gowenceir's army entered Glen.
The Cecil combat soldiers with clear flags and bright armor entered the Glen area without any resistance, and soon inserted Cecil's flag on the wall of the Stone Rift Castle. In this castle located at the top of the steep cliff, the nervous servants and retainers finally waited for the "final result" of this "noble war" and welcomed the new master of the land.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the whole truth, this is the case.
Since the outbreak of this war that completely changed the situation in the southern border and the whereabouts of the territory's mistress were unknown, one-third of the people in the Slitting Fort escaped, and two-thirds of the people remained in the city under the strong control of the housekeeper (of course, there is no need for the help of the military intelligence agencies and steel rangers hidden in the castle), but under the relatively stable order is the tension that permeates the entire territory.
For those who do not know the truth, the news of the miserable defeat of the noble coalition is bad news, which means that they will soon become Cecil's prisoners and slaves, the land will be robbed, and wealth will be robbed. As for when the robbery will come and what extent it will be completely determined by the "furious ancestor" when it will be freed up.
Now, it seems that the ancestor has made room for nothing.
But the "raid" they worry about is destined not to come.
Gowen, wearing armor, entered the Stone Rift Castle with a majestic attitude. When he recalled the anxious retainers and servants of Gorang who he saw along the way, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly: Roppenni Gorang obviously could not make her secret covenant with Cecil to the public. The people in this castle still don't know that their mistress was standing with Cecil at all, so naturally he could not think that the Cecils would not touch their slightest wealth. Unfortunately, even now, Gowen could not explain this to most people in the castle. Moreover, he had to completely control the entire castle, and even control the entire Gorang leader, to prevent the details of the real situation from being revealed after Cecil's army entered the territory.
Although the traditional nobles in the Rock Fortress could almost be said to have no intelligence system, he could not allow any accidents to appear.
But this subtle tension...is really a bit funny.
Fortunately, he didn't care much about this. After leading the soldiers into the city and doing some superficial skills, he came to the depths of the castle and the door of the room with large windows.
The maid guarding the door of the room had a relationship with Gao Wen, but when he met last time, Gao Wen was still a guest of the castle. This time he met, he stood here in a "conqueror" manner. The maid was inevitably nervous. She looked at Gao Wen as if she was facing a great enemy, trying to muster up the little courage, as if she wanted to protect her little master, but this courage almost ran away when Gao Wen spoke.
"Open the door," said Gowen, "I came to see Patty."
“…Miss is resting…”
"Don't be nervous," Gao Wen smiled, "I'm Patty's friend."
The maid guarding the door seemed to want to say something, but the door opened from the inside. Another personal maid who was responsible for taking care of Patty walked out of it and looked at Gao Wen with a little awe: "Miss wants to see you."
Gao Wen nodded, and before stepping into the room, he glanced at the doormaid with praise: "You are brave."
In the room, Patty was sitting on her specially made chair, basking in the brightest sunshine of the day.
Her complexion was much better than when she first met, and it was obvious that the treatments Pittman came to her several times were very effective.
"It's Uncle Gao Wen!" The moment she saw Gao Wen, the little girl became excited. She smiled big, tried to support her head, and shook her only arm that could move, "Come to me!"
Gao Wen came to Patty, smiled and bent down: "I've agreed to see you."
The little girl seemed very happy. This sunny room seemed to be two worlds from the castle filled with tension outside. Here, the clouds of war seemed to have never appeared for a moment. Patty excitedly said a lot to Gao Wen, and finally asked: "Uncle Gao Wen, when will my mother come back?"
"It's soon," Gao Wen squatted in front of the little girl and said with a smile, "I'll take her back this time."
The little girl's head was trembling. She was nodding, but she couldn't control the amplitude of her nod: "Oh, I miss her a little."
"You don't seem to be afraid at all," Gao Wen touched Patty's hair gently. He didn't dare to exert too much, for fear of hurting the child. "Do you know, actually your mother is fighting with me."
"I know," Patty said, then paused for a few seconds, and a small, cunning smile suddenly appeared on the scarred face, "But... Uncle, you are actually my mom's friend, right? Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.
Then he stood up, said goodbye to Patty, left the room and came to the corridor.
The middle-aged butler who loyally served Penny Ronaldinho and maintained order in the castle after the "who is unknown" of the Viscount's "who is unknown" stood in the corridor waiting for him.
