Chapter nine hundred and eighty-ninth running Cecil

Gao Wen is back.

The giant wings of the blue dragon cover the sky, and the figure of this giant came from the north and flew straight to the Cecil capital without any disguise. All those living in this area witnessed the scene of the dragon flying to the earth. In other parts of the world or in the past, such a scene is undoubtedly trembling for ordinary people. Bards and scholars even associate it with regional disasters. However, when the people of Cecil saw the dragon, most people felt joy and even the depressing atmosphere brought about by the sudden outbreak of war was wiped out.

Because many days ago, their Emperor left on such a giant dragon.

Gao Wen stood behind Melita's shoulder blades, overlooking the familiar city view quickly approaching in his view. When the dragon swept across the banks of the Baishui River, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Cecil, your emperor is back..."

His soft sigh did not hide from the sensitive ears of amber beside him. The long pointed ears of the half-elves shook for a moment, and he immediately turned his head cleverly: "Hey, why do you suddenly feel this?"

Gao Wen quickly raised his face and said, "...It's nothing, I suddenly felt something."

Amber glanced at Gao Wen in confusion. Although she didn't feel anything wrong from the other party's inexplicable sigh, her instinct still made her feel that it was necessary to record this sentence - maybe it was a slut.

The half-elves have always been very keen.

After a moment, the blue dragon landed smoothly in the square next to the Palace of Cecil, and the officials of the Government Affairs Department led by Hetty and the attendants of the Palace of Cecil had already been waiting in this open space.

The dragon wings hang down to form a gentle ramp. Gao Wen was the first to appear at the top of the ramp. When the tall figure appeared in everyone's sight against the sun, there was immediately a burst of applause and cheers in the entire square.

Hedy, who was standing in front of the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief without any concealment, and felt a big stone in her heart finally landing on the ground. Then she stepped forward and prepared to extend her hand to welcome the return of her ancestors at the end of the ramp - but there was a figure faster than her and could not stand beside her. Regardless of the etiquette and "ladylike", Rebecca ran over her aunt in a row. She was the first to run under the dragon wing. As soon as Gao Wen landed, she reached out and grabbed the other person's arm: "Sir, you are back!"

Gao Wen was already familiar with the girl's personality, and this was not a very serious occasion (at least not a time when video materials were needed to be published publicly), so he just smiled helplessly, pressed Rebecca's hair and turned his gaze to Hetty, who was also helpless: "All etiquette processes are simple, the situation is special, let's quickly get back on track."

"Of course, I knew you would say that," Hetty nodded immediately. "Although I really want you to take a break, I guess you won't listen to it either - the information has been sent to your study, and the Grand Consul Victoria and Bedwin can be connected at any time, and the military and intelligence departments are ready to wait for you to summon."

"I want to find Anton to understand the situation first," Amber walked down behind Gao Wen, and said hurriedly as soon as it landed, "I hope that kid will do things firmly this time."

Veronica was the last to leave the ramp formed by the dragon wings. She looked at the crowd around her and came to Gao Wen: "I need to consult the Patriarch about the Church of God of War, please allow me to leave first."

In this way, in the blink of an eye, everyone arranged what they wanted to do. The Cecil managers, who prioritized efficiency, did not stick to traditional etiquette and rules at all. But Gao Wen still remembered that there was a "guest" who did not belong to Cecil. He turned around and looked at Melita Pernia who was still standing in the square in the form of a dragon: "If you..."

"I really want to stay and be a guest, but this time the situation is special. I want to return to Tallond first," Melita rumbled before she finished speaking. She lowered her elegant neck slightly. In the form of a dragon, the movement was quite polite and decent. "I just tested the connection with the Mithril Ring and found that the communication was inexplicably restored... Although I couldn't figure out what was going on, you should still use it to contact me."

Her tone was as unhurried as possible, and her attitude was very calm and calm, but Gao Wen could vaguely detect the anxiety and uneasiness deep in the heart of the dragon lady - she seemed to suspect that something was going to happen to Tallond, so she could not wait to say goodbye and leave.

Of course, Melita's anxiety should not only be because of a tiny "fault" in the Misilan Ring - it should be more from two secret conversations between Gao Wen and the Dragon God, the abnormal phenomena that occurred in the upper temple and the current abnormal movements of the gods in the Loren continent. The "fault" this time in the Omega system that never makes mistakes happens to be a lead, which gives the intuition of this dragon lady a certain warning.

In response to this, Gao Wen felt that as a human, there was no reason to interfere. He couldn't stop Melita's decision, so he could only nod and remind him casually: "Be careful on the way back-you have been flying at high intensity for a long time."

Melita shook her head slightly, with a smile in her tone: "Don't worry, I'm still very confident in my physical strength - please step back a little, I'm going to take off."

After a moment, the blue dragon once again stirred up its wings. The huge creature that covered the sky soared from the sky and then turned into a shadow in the sky after several consecutive accelerations, and quickly disappeared from everyone's vision.

...

Gao Wen returned to his familiar study - he looked at the familiar table, familiar bookshelf, familiar carpet and familiar roof in front of him. In this familiar room, he could also see the familiar faces of Rebecca, Hetty and others.

His mood finally calmed down slightly.

Tallongde is a very advanced place, and it is not uncomfortable to live. There are neon cities, automated homes and various developed entertainment projects. To be fair, it even makes Gao Wen unable to help but recall the urban life in his hometown - at least in terms of prosperity and advancedness, the two have some commonalities, but even so, Gao Wen always feels that the days of living in the Dragon Kingdom... are quite awkward.

He never figured out where this awkwardness came from, and could only sum it up in general to "not accustomed to sleeping in a strange bed", but now he felt that he had vaguely figured out some things.

He returned to the back of his desk, where Betty was cleaned spotlessly. The desk was also filled with utensils that he had used to, and all the handy things were placed in the most convenient position. He raised his head again, and saw Hetty standing in front of him, while Rebecca was standing a little further away. The latter seemed to want to get in and talk, but he was a little nervous and didn't dare to move forward.

Gao Wen smiled and realized that he had been fully integrated into this place - that prosperous Tallond, which reminds people of his hometown, was just another foreign country after all.

"Tell me what's going on now," he looked at Hetty. "The communications used by remote communication were not smooth enough after all, and I need to know more details."

Hetty nodded, and now he roughly told the things that happened at home and abroad after Gao Wen left, and then began to talk in detail about everything that happened after the deterioration of the Tifeng God Disaster: including the sudden attack on the Changfeng Defense Line, the battle of the Winter Wolf Castle, Andersha's surrender, and a lot of information that had just arrived from near the Winter Wolf Defense Line not long ago.

In this process, she also mentioned in detail the various responses made by the Supreme Government Office in the face of changes in the situation, as well as the current plans made by the three-member ruling group and considerations about the future.

During the whole story, Gao Wen almost didn't interrupt. He just listened seriously and quietly, spending most of the time saying a little, only occasionally expressing some opinions on certain things or asking for details. His brows occasionally frowned, but with Hetty's report, his brows finally stretched completely.

At the end, a smile even appeared on his face.

Rebecca looked at the changes on her ancestor's face in confusion. She was not very good at observing her expressions and expressions, and did not understand what Gao Wen was thinking at this moment.

Finally, Hedy's long report ended, and the relaxed and relieved smile on Gao Wen's face became more and more obvious. He breathed a light tone and looked up at Hedy: "Very good--I'm glad to see that after I left, it's all running in an orderly manner."

"It is of course," Hetty said immediately, "to maintain normal order in the empire during the time you leave, this is the order you left to us before you leave."

Gao Wen smiled: "It's true...but this is still the thing I was worried about the most before. Of course, I don't have to worry about it now."

His words were not false at all, and this was indeed something he had always been concerned about - for a long time, he had been worried about whether the order he had created was stable enough and whether he could still operate in a stable manner in his absence. All of this has now been through an unexpected test, and the conclusions he came to are gratifying.

Even though he left the empire, even if such a serious emergency occurred, there was no chaos in the Supreme Government Affairs Office. Everything was running in an orderly manner. Changes in domestic public opinion, material supply, personnel mobilization and production and life were handled properly by departments one by one, and the three-man ruling group firmly controlled the "rudder wheel" of the uppermost level of the empire.

Of course, all this may be premised: Gao Wen has not left for too long, and everyone knows that he will come back at any time; General Andesha made the right choice and did not completely get out of control; many departments of the Department of Government Affairs are just operating inertia and have not really begun to bear the pressure of the war state after a long period of maintenance, but even so, the performance of the Supreme Department of Government Affairs and the three-person ruling group this time also made Gao Wen feel much more at ease.

Faced with the affirmation of his ancestors, even Heti, who had always been calm and calm, did not hide his happy smile.

She took a light breath and asked Gao Wen: "Do you have any opinions on our response plan?"

"It's done a good job at this stage - after you took the Winter Wolf Castle, you didn't rush forward, but chose to maintain the front in place and consume Tifeng's counterattack power. This is the most correct decision," Gao Wen said. "This is indeed a divine disaster. The 'normal people' in Tifeng's side obviously have no intention of starting a war, but the army engulfed by the faith of the God of War will continue to attack their 'enemy', so military conflicts are inevitable, but we don't need to go deep into Tifeng's hinterland to help them solve the problem.

"At this stage, in addition to maintaining the front line, the most important thing is to figure out the internal situation of Tifeng and their plan to deal with this disaster. If we really want to help, we should start from this aspect - on the front battlefield, just deal with it and comfort the God of War who made me stupid."

Hearing his ancestors describe a terrible mad god as "making himself stupid to death", Hedy was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Her nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed a little.

And this is exactly Gao Wen’s purpose - from the moment he saw Hetty, he knew that his descendant had been under too much pressure recently.

"About the situation inside Tifeng," Gao Wen continued after a pause, "has the news been sent back from the 25th?"

"Not yet," Hutty shook his head, "The current situation in Tifeng is unknown. Given that the phenomenon of being contaminated by the God of War has occurred in their senior management, Aldernan is likely to have large-scale investigations and cleaning operations. In order to ensure the safety of informants, the intelligence department has suspended active contacts on all hidden lines - including the hidden lines of the track project and the No. 25 dedicated line. However, if special circumstances occur, they will pass messages to the outside world under the circumstances of ensuring their own safety."

Gao Wen thought for a moment and nodded: "...Well, the correct response should be like this."

He then looked at Hedy and was about to ask other questions, but at this moment, a familiar spiritual fluctuation suddenly came into his mind.

"Ancestor?" Hedy looked at Gao Wen, who suddenly fell into a state of divine destiny, "What's wrong with you?"

Gao Wen raised one hand and signaled the other party to wait, then quickly focused his energy and listened to the short message from Daniel. The content of the message was very simple and could be received without even immersing in the Internet. It was obviously a direct thumbnail-up information sent after compilation. In the current tense and dangerous situation, this is a very necessary and cautious attitude.

After a moment, Gao Wen raised his head and smiled at Hetty: "What a coincidence... I just contacted me on the twenty-five."

Hetty immediately widened his eyes: "Is there a new situation over there?"

"...Two things, first, twenty-five, probably determined how the previous 'declaration of war' came out of the Obsidian Palace. Second, and more importantly - Rosetta Augustus has declared Tifon a state of emergency and has taken advantage of the situation to implement three emergency bills in a row in one day: the closure of parliament, the closure of the imperial guards, and... the temporary cancellation of all exemptions from churches across the country."
