Qingkong's words made Princess Dai'er's heart feel as sweet as drinking honey, and then she ran away with a smile.

Qingkong continued to draw drawings, sorting out what he had gained from the Titan Project these days.

It's time to get ready to leave.

Agatha sent an urgent message through the Secret Service intelligence station this morning. Through the special key interpretation, the eldest prince Fania has been very restless recently.

The offensive against the Tedga Hills on the southern front was suddenly suspended. General Joshur ordered the entire army to shrink and switch to defense, and even voluntarily abandoned several important fortresses to allow the barbarian army to reoccupy them.

The Battle of Snow City is in full swing in the north, and the Empire is also taking the initiative to retreat. Judging from the situation, it seems that they will abandon Snow City and let the defenders inside face the Yate County Alliance's offensive alone.

In the imperial capital, Fania frequently summoned important ministers of the empire, repeatedly emphasizing that he was the eldest prince and the legal successor to the first line of the empire.

The number of exercises of the Fourth Division of the Imperial City Guard Corps has increased.

In the palace, Fania's visits to Emperor Augustine became more frequent. Three times in the morning, noon and evening were fixed. At other times, Fania randomly entered the palace to visit.

Emperor Augustine never showed up, Queen Christina was trapped in the snowy city, and Fania became more and more bold. Except for the emperor's palace, which was firmly guarded by Knight Milscomb, there was no place in the palace that he dared not go.

It can be seen that the eldest prince Fania no longer has much patience. He is now testing Emperor Augustine step by step to see if he can force him to show up so as to find out his physical condition.

If Augustine the Great still does not show up, Fania's actions will build up the chance of victory for the final palace coup.

According to common sense, if Fania had done this job, Augustine should have shown up long ago when he sensed the crisis. However, there was no movement in the emperor's palace, and only Knight Millscomb silently guarded the door, preventing anyone from entering.

What on earth was Augustine doing?

Luke was very puzzled.

He provoked Fania to launch a palace coup just to find out Augustine's background, but he didn't expect that the old emperor could be so calm.

Is it because something keeps him distracted? Or is he not afraid of Fania's troubles?

Can't tell...

But what is certain is that Fania's gambler mentality will never give up at the last moment. He is putting all his gambling funds on the gambling table little by little, waiting for the last stud.

If he wins, he will be the new emperor of the empire.

Lose...he doesn't think he will lose.

The time when Fania took action should have been a major change in Snow City.

If the Yate County Alliance fails to capture Snow City and chooses to retreat and repair, the entire winter will end and the Yate County Alliance troops will not be able to launch another large-scale offensive. The situation in the north is stable, and Queen Christina is on the front line to defend the isolated city.

The reputation will be pushed to its peak.

When the queen returns to the imperial capital from the north, she is no longer the same queen as before, so Fania must take action before the queen returns to the imperial capital.

If the Yate County Alliance captured Snow City, Fania would have to seize the throne in order to quickly integrate the power of the empire to resist the Yate County Alliance's southward movement.

Perhaps Fania has secretly reached some private agreement with the Celtic Duke...

Agatha's message to Luke revealed her anxiety. If Fania really launched a palace coup, the Secret Service would not be able to stop him. And the Royal Knights and Palace Guards... they faced the self-defense

It is estimated that most people may choose to wait and see after Fania announced his enthronement as the Golden Shield God-ordained Emperor.

After all, no one knows what happened to Emperor Augustine.

Please come back immediately after you finish your work...the empire needs you!

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

Luke felt that since he was in the Winter Capital, while doing his own thing, he might be able to do something for Agatha.

For example, provide some off-site help to Snow City.

As long as Queen Christina lives, Fania's

A palace coup will definitely encounter resistance from the Royal Knights and Palace Guards, and the current Northern Army will not all listen to Fania.

Mr. Luke, what are you thinking about? Hulkkin, who came to the laboratory after get off work in the evening to make up for classes, reminded Luke who was a little distracted. He brought a paper he wrote and was waiting for Luke's review.

Luke came back to his senses and said to Helkin: Most of your paper is spliced ​​together from the abstracts of other papers, and there is almost nothing that is your own.

I think a purely academic paper is not suitable for you... Maybe you can find a suitable topic from your work life.

My work life? Hulkkin asked in confusion: I don’t know what the relationship between intelligence and steam is. Can you give me some tips?

Luke said: Okay... Take the current war with the Golden Shield Empire as an example. Now is the coldest period of winter, and it is also the most intense time of the war. Our army surrounded the Queen of the Golden Shield Empire in the snow city.

, hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides fought fiercely around the city.

Keeping so many troops warm in such cold weather was a very good subject for steam engineers.

Hulkkin nodded thoughtfully: The county alliance's army was able to maintain combat effectiveness in the cold winter because it used the urban heating system to provide central heating for the fighting army.

Luke nodded: Yes, the Steam Engineers Association has designed an easy-to-build winter combat heating system for the military, using pipes to send heat energy to garrison stations in different locations. This ensures that hundreds of thousands of our soldiers can rest during their

It's time to have a warm environment to restore physical fitness and morale.

This topic is very timely and is not accessible to other people preparing for the steam engineer exam. If you can take out this paper during the steam engineer qualification exam, as long as the quality is good, you will definitely pass.

As the chief of the Ice Cave, Hulkkin knew very well that the county army had specially built a large-scale heating system for the army in order to fight against the snow city. In order to protect this heating system, the Ice Cave also sent out

Many agents carried out counter-infiltration operations against the Imperial Secret Service.

I am absolutely unique in writing a paper on this topic.

Moreover, by the time I took the steam engineer qualification exam, the Snow City battle had already ended and the heating system had been dismantled, so there was no leakage of secrets.

Just out of professional instinct, Hulkkin couldn't help but doubt Luke's purpose of raising this topic. But soon Hulkkin couldn't help laughing at himself: Mr. Luke dedicated the magic model of the two-phase steam engine of water molecules to the county league.

Yes, that is a cutting-edge technology that can bring about disruptive changes in national power.

This paper was written by me and supervised by Mr. Luke. Only the two of us knew about it before taking the steam engineer qualification test...it will never be leaked.

If the secret is leaked... my contribution will only be greater!

Hulkkin immediately shook off the random thoughts in his mind.

It’s not a loss anyway!

I listened to you, Mr. Luke, and wrote a thesis on the combat heating system of Snow City. Sir, you have been studying the underground steam pipeline system of the Winter City, and you will definitely be able to provide guidance for my thesis.

Luke didn't care that his identity would be revealed a month later, so he casually said: If you let me see it, I'll see it.

Thank you for your advice, I will go back and prepare the paper now.

Go ahead, there's no homework today, I'm too busy here.

Hulkkin left happily, and Luke handed over the work in the laboratory to other engineers, and then returned to his office to write a reply to Agatha.

I believe you know from the newspapers and intelligence stations in Dongdu that I now have a unique position in the Yate County Alliance. I will do something for the empire on the premise that it does not affect me.

The underground resistance in the winter capital is a dagger piercing the back of the Yate County Alliance. I will allow the resistance to move frequently during this period to slow down the production progress of the Yate County Alliance's materials.

In addition, I am trying to find a way to obtain the heating system deployed by the Yate County Alliance Army around Snow City. After receiving this letter, you immediately mobilize elite spies to stand by. After my information is sent, quickly attack the Yate County Alliance Army.

The frontline heating system was destroyed.

Without heating to keep out the cold, the soldiers of the Yate County Alliance had no way of fighting in the extremely cold weather.

Another thing about the eldest prince... After the siege of Snow City is lifted, you should go to Raging Wave City immediately and don't care what he does.

Your safety is the most important thing!

I will go back within a month. No matter what happens, just wait until I go back.

After the reply is written, the content is encrypted using an alchemical key. Any misinterpretation will cause the letter to self-destruct.

The letter was sent through the Secret Intelligence Service station in Dongdu, and after being tossed around for five days, it was finally delivered to Agatha.

In the Rose Manor in St. Lun City of the Golden Shield Empire, Agatha read Luke's reply over and over again.

She didn't sleep well these days. She was afraid that the eldest prince Fania would suddenly lead troops to attack the palace, but she had no one to rely on in the imperial capital. This was a crisis she had never encountered before. If she made a wrong step, she would have a different head.

At this time, Fania even dared to kill Dai Er, and she would not let go of herself who controlled the Secret Intelligence Service.

I wish the meteor would be in the imperial capital at this time... or in Raging Wave City.

But he was in the far north and became a talented steam engineer sought after by all parties.

When Agatha learned the news, she was not sure whether the engineer named Luke was a meteorite. After repeated confirmations through different channels, she was sure that Luke was a meteorite.

At a certain moment, Agatha even felt that the meteor would never come back, and it seemed that Yate County United was more suitable for him.

Until now, I received a reply from him, which clearly stated that I will go back within a month. No matter what happens, just wait until I go back.

He will come back, and everything will be better when he comes back.

Agatha put down the hanging stone in her heart, no longer worried about the crisis in front of her, and regained her former magnanimity and confidence.

The valet noticed the change in Agatha, and she asked: Was it the Governor of Meteor who sent the good news?

Yes, Governor Meteor has sent me good news. You personally select a team of elite spies to prepare for the mission in Snow City. After Governor Meteor sends the next piece of information, ask them to set off immediately.

In addition, we will send people to sneak into Snow City and tell the queen to hold on for a while. Governor Meteor and I are trying to find ways to provide her with strong foreign aid. When this foreign aid is in place, she can organize a counterattack... If everything goes well, she

We can win the biggest victory since the invasion of Art County United.

The female officer was very curious about such powerful foreign aid. After all, the empire would not be able to send large-scale reinforcements to the northern border throughout the winter. However, her professional ethics prevented her from asking: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, I will make arrangements now."

The message was sent from the Rose Manor in the imperial capital to the northern border of the empire. An imperial spy crossed the snowy ice field, passed through the cracks and surrounded by the Yate County Alliance, and finally climbed over the wall of the Snowy City.
To be continued...
