Chapter 584 Inexplicable estrangement
Monteres under the Orgles dictatorship has always been known for his efficient execution in his services. Shortly after the Governor's Office announced the resolution to build a new terminal, specific plans were introduced one after another. The advanced materials and workers had already started construction and measurements in the selected headland area. According to the normal progress, the construction would probably be completed in less than half a year.
The docks in this era were relatively simple, and their throughput was far from comparable to those in the world. According to Christopher's plan, after the construction of the dock was completed, the reinforcements and transportation of materials and personnel were mainly shared by Grenada and the Principal of Cialis, and Monterres was responsible for commanding, dispatching and civil engineering. As for whether there were any objections between the other two countries, would you care with the domineering style of the treachery? If the two countries really dared to jump out and oppose, the happiest thing would be Augsger!
If you think about it carefully, no wonder Augsger is keen on cooperating with the temple, which can not only weaken the strength and threat of hostile countries, but also take advantage of the situation to develop itself. No one can refuse such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Xia Lan and others quietly left Monteres the next day after the meeting and communicated, and collectively deployed the magic array nodes under the hidden foothills arranged by Augsger.
The construction of the teleportation array is not difficult. It is rare to ensure the transmission stability after the precise positioning of the spatial coordinates is successful, and even subsequent maintenance cannot have any gaps. Otherwise, if an error occurs in a certain link, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
This mission is difficult or not, and it is easy or not.
All the point is whether the Heather Empire will interfere with it.
Judging from the pervasive intelligence system of the Heather Empire, it is impossible for the Holy Temple to secretly build a teleportation array to be hidden from the other party. Will the Heather Empire sit on the sidelines of the Holy Temple to reverse the situation? It is impossible to think about it.
So the question is, when will the Heather Empire take action?
"If we guess at the worst, maybe from the moment we stepped into Monteres, someone has set his sight on us."
In his spare time, Xia Lan would stroll by the beach to watch the tides rise and fall. Sometimes she was alone, and sometimes an uninvited guest would appear.
"Pasifal, what have you gained in Monteres these days?"
Xia Lan stepped on the soft beach slowly, facing the new staff member who was responsible for assisting him, without any hesitation.
"The harvest is not enough, but there are some clues of scatteredness." Pasifal, who was slightly thin, said expressionlessly in the face of the sea breeze.
"According to our agreement with Augsger, he has the obligation to assist us in checking any potential threats. Since he is futile in his territory, it is like finding a needle in a haystack." Xia Lan stopped slowly, faced the sea road with his hands behind his back.
"If the other party really has a conspiracy, they will be exposed sooner or later! None now, maybe it's a matter of timing." Pasifal said in a deep voice.
"Continue to keep monitoring trends, these days are considered rare quiet time. I guess there will be not many such opportunities by then." Xia Lan suddenly changed her mind and said, "I heard that you have been staying by Herris' side. As expected, she must be planning something important, right?"
It is normal for Xia Lan to have this because she has been too low-key in recent years and is completely incompatible with her style.
"Sorry, Herris once told us that we were not allowed to disclose her to anyone." Pasifal lowered his head.
"Even if I can't do it?" Xia Lan said.
"Yes," said Pasifal. "She once said that it's not about trust, but the fewer people who know it will be more beneficial to everyone."
"Apart from murdering John, I really can't think of her planning other major events." Xia Lan smiled and did not take the sign to heart.
“…”
Pasifal did not answer. He was very clear about the reason why he said too much or wrong. Many times, others could immediately infer the general truth in the words you accidentally revealed. Such things are by no means nonsense.
"I received a rather unfortunate news this morning." Xia Lan took the opportunity to change the topic and said: "Do you know the increasingly severe natural disaster of the undead west of Xiafeng Strait?"
"It's probably clear." Pasifal was quite confused.
"This group of bone frames broke through the last line of defense of the Sissinian coalition forces in the Celora Mountains the day before yesterday." Xia Lan said.
"Are you worried about these undead?" Pasifal said keenly.
"The fall of the Zerola defense line means that the coalition forces will no longer have any danger to defend. I think it takes half a year for these undead to occupy the entire continent west of the strait... You said, what would happen if these undead crossed the Xiafeng Strait and joined forces to attack Elderland?" Xia Lan casually said a terrifying question.
"The glory sinks, the end of the world comes..." Pasifal's pupils shrank, and he suddenly remembered the famous prophetic poem of the Forest of Stars.
"Of course, this is just my unintentional guess." Xia Lan turned her head and looked at the workers busy building the dock in the distance.
"I don't think the church will ignore it," said Pasifal.
"yes"
Xia Lan nodded, but there was a sentence hidden in her heart.
What if the temple fails?
He could think of this because of the conversation he had gone to the carriage of the Governor's House with the receptionist Ansel.
Because he remembered a "person" that he had long forgotten.
Adrina, or Galbod.
The undead today is a product created by Galbo in Ragnarok. Imagine their creator stood up and waved his arms. Will these undead follow the order? Even if the undead choose to resist, does Galbo have no other backup? After all, this is a war tool created by himself, so it is inevitable that there will be some control methods left.
Xia Lan had long speculated that the Heather Empire would launch a full-scale war to conquer Elderland in advance against the original historical process, and there would definitely be Galbude behind it. Even the Deroxigen's change may have been a long-planned behavior of the other party.
But he has never heard of the wind in recent years, and it is so hidden that it is unforgettable. The more this happens, the easier it is to think deeply.
What are you thinking? What are you doing?
However, these issues are not the turn of people at his level to care about, because no matter how much you care, it will be useless.
...
...
As the days pass day by day, the dock on the Cape Coast is still in order. According to the expected project progress, it can be completed and used at the latest before the cold winter comes. The teleportation array at the foot of the mountain was completed as early as the beginning of the month. Now a group of sorcerers responsible for operating the array are accurately calculating the spatial coordinates and various tests day and night.
In addition to the necessary patrol and supervision, Xialan's time was basically quite relaxed. Occasionally he would go to Monterres to relax, listen to Pasifal's surveillance report, and inquire about the current situation of the war.
When the first team took the lead in the teleportation array in the Kingdom of Etan, the temple quickly stabilized the precarious situation of the Gadavian defense line in a row, and sent people to cooperate with the coalition forces of various countries to block the Heather Empire's western expedition in Ballard. Overall, the temple camp gradually showed a prosperous scene with continuous rest.
To the west of Xiafeng Strait, the undead of Scoro completely invaded Minas and Brandel, and the soldiers pointed directly at the surviving Sissinia and Esdaq's trade city. Unfortunately, this barbaric land in the eyes of the people of the Elderland continent has always been unintentionally ignored.
"The movements in the Heather Empire have become more and more bizarre recently."
In a secluded tavern in Monteres, Sharan and Pasifal sat in the corner and discussed privately.
"The Heather Empire has recently ended its attacks on the magic array nodes of various countries in the Holy Church. There is no sign of the Heather Empire's attention. Among them, our seventh team, the twelfth team of Esdaq Trading City, and the 10th team of Korkis have not been attacked yet. It is really strange."
"Even if we all know that there must be a conspiracy in the Heather Empire, we have no way to guess." Pasifal said with a sip of wine. "Of course, this may be a test of the Heather Empire."
"The way of temptation is too stupid." Xia Lan shook her head. "Is this behavior simply a reminder that the church must strengthen its vigilance."
"Let's wait and see, the most troublesome thing is the top leaders of the temple rather than us."
Pasifal said indifferently, as if he was deeply influenced by Heris. He had always lacked a favorable impression of the church, unlike Berrant, who would maintain a rational and objective attitude in everything.
"But any possible actions of the Heather Empire will affect the success or failure of our mission. Don't forget that I will come to Monterres to a large extent because the temple gave me the opportunity to make up for the merits. If the mission fails, it will inevitably reduce my evaluation and status in the top leaders of the temple!" Xia Lan knocked on the table twice, and her calm words were faintly dissatisfied.
"I will perform my duties conscientiously, you can rest assured." Pasifal suddenly stood up in silence. "I will notify you as soon as possible if there is any situation."
He paused after not walking very far.
"But don't forget that you have today's status entirely due to our help, and don't inflate yourself."
After saying this, Pasifal left the tavern without looking back.
He was warning me? Is this what he meant? Or is Heris mean?
Looking at the other person's back as he was leaving, Xia Lan half-squinted her eyes and unconsciously played with the wine glass in her hand.
He admitted that he was a bit rude when he spoke just now, but why did he show hostility?
After thinking about it, Xia Lan decided not to worry about it anymore. In the face of the overall situation, he had to abandon potential conflicts between each other in order to deal with unpredictable changes in the future.
Only then did he miss Berant, who had a happy cooperation. Assuming that the other party was still there, there would not be any unhappy things that just ended. It turns out that there would be no gap without comparison.
