The restoration of the Iron Throne is complete.

This news made Gao Wen really relieved.

The armored train is the most powerful land combat power of the Cecil Empire at present. The special attributes of the armored train allow it to move quickly to the areas covered by the railway line and support a considerable defense line alone without additional support. Its powerful firepower and shield system in this era is no less than an additional border fortress, and what the empire lacks the most is such a border fortress.

Changfeng Fortress is sending various news back every day. The army-increasing action of the Tifeng Empire has risen to a blatant level. Although the peace agreement signed between Ansu and Tifeng has not been torn apart yet, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the binding force of the document on the two countries is actually not as strong as a few swords and guns. As Gao Wen expected at the beginning: peace between countries cannot be maintained by any gentleman agreement.

In this case, the value of the Iron Throne is self-evident.

"Where is the railway line currently laid?" He raised his head and looked at Hedy.

"It has run through the eastern border and is currently close to the Karon Valley area. A newly assembled engineering train will be shortened to within 20 days as the railway line is advanced," Hetty nodded. "After completion, the Iron Throne will be able to be deployed to the Paramel Heights near the Changfeng Fortress. The artillery can cover the entire Changfeng defense line, and other military trains can also quickly transport the subsequently equipped armored forces to the border."

Gao Wen nodded while listening. After Heti reported on the Iron Throne and the East Railway, he asked again: "How is the cleaning of the polluted areas of the Holy Spirit Plain?"

"At present, the purification area has been pushed to a rich forest, and the subsequent advancement speed will be further accelerated," Hetty smiled. "After the fall of the 'artificial god', all the crystal cluster giants have undergone a significant decline. Not only has their strength weakened, but their movement power has also been reduced a lot, and they have also lost the ability to actively spread the plague. Now the purification team is seriously investigating the polluted areas on the Holy Spirit Plain, and no signs of pollution counterattack have been found."

After the death of the freak that will eventually perish, the Crystal Giant Legion immediately fell into a state of decline - this was the same as the previous staff team and scholars in Cecil City estimated.

The crystal cluster giants have a special organizational form. Their subordinate units are controlled by the mental control of the superior level, and even the thinking ability of the subordinate units depends on the superior nodes. This organizational form allows them to have the operational efficiency and communication ability far exceeding the human legion of the contemporary era, and even allows them to have a certain degree of telepathy. However, their weakness is that once their superior nodes are destroyed, all subordinate nodes will immediately collapse. Originally, the crystal cluster legion was controlled by a large number of bishops of the entire demise of all things. Destruction of a node only causes problems with a branch legion. This weakness is not fatal, but after the "artificial god" is out of control, its superior nodes are all concentrated on the "god", and this weakness is fatal.

The fall of the artificial god directly led to the Crystal Cluster Legion becoming a group of weak and loose beasts, which greatly reduced the pressure of subsequent purification of the Holy Spirit Plain. Otherwise, there would be nearly one million monsters remaining on the entire plain. With the severely shortage of troops in the post-war empire, it would not be so easy to completely clean it up.

"A decayed tree fell, and the dead branches and leaves scattered all over the ground... It takes some effort to clean it up," Gao Wen sighed softly, then raised his head and said to the three great consuls, "The structure of all things will eventually perish. It has been operating in this country for a long time, and there are even many small nobles, merchants and church priests who have been bewitched and corrupted. Now the main trunk of this church has fallen, but there must be many remaining branches left. It is not just the monsters on the Holy Spirit Plain to be cleaned."

Victoria lowered her head deeply, her voice coldly: "Yes, we understand."

"No, you only understand part of it," Gauwen shook his head. "The remnants of cultists must be uprooted, but we must be wary of this process as the process of exacerbating extreme violence like the Holy Light Church burning heresy. The empire has just been established and we are promoting a new order of justice and rule of law. At this time, there must be no old-school style, no slap in the face, and no panic to create chaos."

"I will ask Pittman to summarize the methods of distinguishing the activities of dark druids and magical characteristics into a booklet and distribute them to local priests and official druids. If a cultist at the level of priests is found, he will be punished according to law. However, if only ordinary people who are deceived or under-class believers are deceived, try to deal with it in the form of labor and ideological transformation - the collective burning of heresy must be banned."

Victoria blinked: "What if this gentle method cannot effectively intimidate those believers? The ideas that have been bewitched by cults are often deeply rooted and it is difficult to correct them in a short time..."

The Duchess, who had arrested cultists in the North and dealt with many heretics, obviously knows quite well what those who were going astray.

"First of all, you should have confidence in the Cecilian labor + ideological transformation project. We have transformed many people in the same way, and I have also prepared special spiritual food for the believers of the Death of All Things," Gao Wen smiled and said patiently, "I plan to repeatedly play the images of hunting the artificial gods for them - from the trap of the brave to the meal of the siren, the whole process is played without any deletion, and a special person will be arranged to explain the knowledge about the artificial gods, which will be played once every morning, noon and evening every day. You can also play a documentary about cutting the bones of the pseudo-gods and processing the throne of the skull on the rest day.

"Secondly, if there are really the kind of stubborn people you mentioned - I believe there will be such people - that's OK. The empire now has mines that lack people. Those people will transform for two years if they cannot complete transformation in a year, and twenty years if they cannot complete transformation in a decade, and in a lifetime, we will award medals to them after they die, thank them for their outstanding contributions to the industrial construction of the empire."

Duke Berdevin Franklin was a little stunned and finished listening to Gao Wen's words. He widened his eyes as soon as he heard the first half. After listening to the second half, he was amazed with an exaggerated expression: "If you really use the 'spiritual food' you said, then no one can last for more than two years unless they are not only blind or fools."

"Sometimes people who are brainwashed by cults are no better than fools," Victoria shook her head, "but I also think that your Majesty's plan will be very effective."

Gao Wen smiled and looked at Hetty again: "Hetty, is there any new progress on the 'nest' underground near Solinburg?"

What he refers to is the nest in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain. After the artificial god was killed, the search troops discovered a huge rift near Solinburg. According to the information provided by Pittman, below the rift, it should be the base camp of the End of All rift. The scale of the camp may be close to the fortress of disobedience, and part of its structure may even extend to the eastern territory, burying countless secrets.

"The surface and shallow caves and passages have been cleared, but they have not penetrated deep," Hetty shook his head gently. "The structure below is too complicated. Currently, scholars are trying to crack its magic traps and mechanism rules. Before that, the team did not dare to go deeper. In addition, after learning about this, Rebecca suggested that the expert team throw bombs underground to remove the trap. Please rest assured that it has been fired."

Gao Wen: "…"

"Ahem, I know," Gao Wen coughed a few seconds later, "This is indeed something Rebecca can do, but after all, the child is old, so she still has to take care of her face when talking..."

"Yes, ancestor." Hetty nodded seriously, while the two great consuls, Victoria and Bedevin, looked at each other, with a tacit understanding in their eyes.

Seeing that Victoria, a person who had almost no expression on weekdays, had her mouth curled up, Govin knew that Rebecca's deeds might have spread in Saint Sunil... Yes, if that girl had not made up one mess after another, Hetty would not have been so steadfast as he reported his work with such great resentment to make his ancestors pay attention to the evil deeds of naughty children...

But it's embarrassing. In fact, when Hetty mentioned that there were many mechanisms and traps in the underground nest, Gao Wen also had the idea of ​​blasting and troubleshooting in his mind. However, he was conceiving high-precision blasting technology, and the fireball brewing in Rebecca's head may be larger than the city gate...

"Rebecca..." Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh softly with a helpless smile, then turned his head and looked towards the window.

The autumn wind blew across the castle tower and hovered between the complex spire and wall buildings, bringing autumn leaves and the cold air from the north. Before he knew it, this was the fourth year of his awakening as Gauven Cecil, and it was also the fourth year of knowing people like Rebecca and Hetty.

"It's been four years... This child should have learned the key points, right?"

The autumn wind blew across the castle courtyard, through the tall and straight dragon-leaf trees, neatly trimmed bushes and flower beds. A yellow fallen leaf swirled down from the sky and was gently caught by a slightly slender hand.

The black-haired maid Maggie looked at the dead leaves falling on her palm. The leaves had special asymmetry. The narrow side and the wide shape on the other side and the jagged edges were inevitably reminded of the legendary dragon's wings. She still vaguely remembered that in her hometown, whenever autumn came, the streets and alleys were covered with such leaves.

The more expensive "dragon leaf tree" in Ansu is extremely common in the Holy Dragon Principality.

Maggie gently held her fingers, and the withered and yellow leaves shone a light between her fingers. After she opened her palm again, the leaves had turned into a bird composed of illusory dust and flew into the sky lightly.

"It's so good to fly..." she muttered softly.

A sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind, and Maggie immediately calmed down. She returned to her usual shrewd and capable decent appearance, turned around and saw the person who was walking towards her.

It is His Royal Highness, Princess of the Empire - Rebecca Cecil.

"Your Highness." After Rebecca reached a certain distance, Maggie bent down just in time and greeted him respectfully.

There are many rules in the upper class, and there are countless unwritten etiquettes in addition to the plain rules and etiquettes. This just right time to bend over is the homework of a qualified maid. When a noble person outside the master comes to him, the servant does not have to go to greet him, but he must bow in time. But bending over too early is an offense, which is as if urging the other party to respond to him quickly. Bending over too late is a sign of uneducation and slow reaction. There is really no way to tell how many rules there are.

Although Victoria said that these tedious rules will disappear or simplify with the old nobles sooner or later, for Maggie, this action has long become her habit and no longer needs to be deliberately maintained.

"Hey, don't have to be so troublesome," Rebecca quickly waved his hand. She didn't understand the details hidden in these rules. The maid she usually contacted most often was a dazed Betty, who was a girl who had to pass a thunder in the sky before she could shudder. Rebecca didn't know that there were still many tricks in Maggie's bow. "I'm not used to it..."

Maggie smiled softly: "You are a member of the royal family, you have to adapt to these."

"Don't mention it, I'm still a little dizzy yet. Why did the ancestors go out to fight a war? When I come back, my number has changed..." Rebecca scratched her hair, and the confusion on her face was not adulterated at all. "Let's not talk about this for now. I'm just looking for an opportunity to talk to you-I didn't meet you before at dinner. Usually you don't come out to walk around. This time I asked the guards and found out that you were in the yard!"

Maggie frowned slightly. She had hardly ever contacted Rebecca, and could not guess what the maverick princess thought: "What are you asking me for?"

Rebecca thought about it, and slowly shed a very bright and affectionate smile, and leaned closer and said, "That... I heard from my ancestors, you are actually a dragon, right?"

Maggie was stunned for a moment, her expression seemed to change, but in the end she breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head slightly: "Yes."

She did not want to show off her identity, and she always protected her true identity like keeping a secret. However, in the previous war, her true identity had been exposed to many people in the Cecil Legion. Considering that Cecil people have not had any strange attitude towards her because of her special identity so far, Rebecca is a very likable and lively girl on weekdays, so the humanoid dragon still let go of her knot and admitted it calmly.

"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Rebecca nodded repeatedly, then opened her mouth, brewing the next words-

She still remembered that her ancestors said that we should be polite and try not to offend Maggie's self-esteem, because there seems to be something inconspicuous in the blood of this young lady Black Dragon, so we must be more tactful when speaking in this regard.
