The Sword of Dawn Chapter 652 Breaking Ground

Facing an ancient disobedient who controls the Cathedral of Holy Light with many mysteries and unknown goals, Carmel, who is also a disobedient, advised Gawain to be more vigilant and keep a distance. As the patriarch of the Southern Church, he urged the implementation of the new Holy Light However, Wright of Doctrine thought that the other party could cooperate. Such a situation was something Gawain had not thought of before.

He looked at Wright: "Tell me your reasons."

"From a practical point of view, we can't leave the northern church alone," Wright said seriously. "Faith issues can easily evolve into fierce conflicts. The conflict and confrontation between the Holy Light Church and other denominations in the process of expansion in the past two years is an example. This is an example. The problem at hand. Let’s not consider the purpose of Her Royal Highness Veronica for the time being. It is a fact that she currently holds a platinum scepter, and it is also a fact that the Pope and the bishops of the North have all fallen. From these, she has cooperation value—— She can help us control the situation, otherwise the unrest in the northern church may well turn into a disaster."

"Only for value?"

"...No, there's a second point," Wright continued, "if her identity is true, then whatever her purpose, at least she is indeed a 'god disobedient.' On this path of betraying the gods , we can find not many like-minded people, so even if it is only temporary people who are on the same road, it is very precious."

After a short pause, he continued: "We need to convey the correct beliefs to the world. This process may not be without violence, but we cannot rely on violence. There are many people in the world, and faith comes from the heart. After all, we want to turn most people into Friends, not mortal enemies, so we must distinguish who can be wooed and who can't - in my opinion, Lord Veronica, or Ophelia Norton are the ones who can be wooed At least at this stage, it is necessary to win over people.”

Gawain glanced at Wright in surprise.

Distinguish the priority of the conflict, the nature of the opposing groups, who must be defeated, and who can be won... He has indeed mentioned this knowledge to the people around him, and Wright has clearly used it skillfully and has it at his fingertips. Degree.

It seems that after taking the position of the patriarch, the "pastor" has really grown a lot. When his missionary goal has changed from a sporadic individual to a whole group, his vision of seeing things has also become very different from before. the same.

Gawain thought.

He is very clear about the potential hidden dangers of Veronica Ophelia, an "inhuman person". Introducing such a mysterious person into his career will inevitably mean certain risks, but her value is also obvious. The reception and transformation of the northern church is even more urgent.

Between benefits and risks, he needs a balance.

In the end, he nodded slightly: "Perhaps, we can cooperate with her to a limited extent."

After all, it is impossible for Gawain to trust a mysterious disobedient with limited information in such a short period of time, but he also has no way to directly reject the other party with insufficient information. Leah Norton has reached limited cooperation—if the disobedient is willing to cooperate, to act under a certain level of surveillance, and to share some knowledge and intelligence.

After all, Gawain himself was full of curiosity about Ophelia. He was very curious about what the ancient disobedient had been doing in the Church of the Holy Light over the years, and how much of the huge disobedience plan was Kamai. I don't know, and such a once-in-a-lifetime source of information is now in the Cathedral of Light... He really doesn't want to miss it.

...

The frontline fighting in the far west has calmed down a little, but the war itself, which has spread over a third of the Holy Spirit Plains and devastated the hinterland of Anzu, is far from over.

On the edge of the plain, east of Solingborg, the mountains pass, the thunder of war roars.

This pass, which consists of several ridges and a large number of scattered plateaus, is the largest gateway to the East. Its former owner was Duke Silas Loren, and the guardian of the East rushed out of this fortress. , the thunderbolt of Solimbor opened the prelude to the civil war in the kingdom, and its current owner is the Cecil Corps - the powerful magic mechanized troops occupy the ridges and high platforms here, with steel defenses against those who tried to break through The frenzied crystal cluster that blocked and entered the eastern realm.

Between the ridges, thunder bursts, and in the rock shelter created by engineering magic, the magic crystal railguns are poking out their acceleration tracks from the rocks and trees, accompanied by flashes of light, sending deadly cannonballs into the distance; On the high ground, tongues of flame spewed, and the heavy burners in the bunker continued to burn the mountain road, turning those crystal cluster monsters who had escaped the artillery bombing into ashes.

In the center of the pass, between the layers of bunkers, walls, and sentry towers, is the fortress and command post at the core of this line of defense—the powerful armored train, the Iron Throne-Zero.

This mobile fortress covered with black armor and a thick shield is slowly approaching the predetermined position. With the sound of the mechanical device running, the repulsion nodes all over the train are locked one after another, and the whole car is stably parked on the track. The main guns of the arsenal section fired at the same time, accompanied by a few sharp whistles, the magic crystal shells fired by the heavy rail guns roared through the air and fell into the distance.

In the tactical section of Iron Throne Zero, Commander Maryland was standing in front of the magic net terminal, reporting the battle situation to Gao Wen on the screen: "A new batch of chariots has arrived at the front line, the defense line of Solimburg has been consolidated, and the eastern border has been consolidated. Safety."

Behind the commander, a crystal window covered with a fortified shield is showing a land scorched by artillery fire and burners. The towers and armed platforms are filled with the texture of metal and cement. The magic crystal railgun is fired. The flashes of time have been lit up again and again, and the transfer device of the armed platform has been connected to the Iron Throne. A new batch of chariots transported from the White Sands area to the front line is being unloaded from the delivery section of the Iron Throne, ready to be adjusted by the Bachelor of Mechanics. And put into the battlefield, a large number of soldiers from the Kant area also got out of the car, and those fully armed black armored soldiers were assembled on the armed platform to be reviewed by their respective commanders.

The holographic screen above the magic net terminal was glowing, and Gawain's voice sounded slightly disturbing: "Have you noticed any large-scale anomalies on the plain?"

"I haven't found it yet - we have advanced the northern line of defense to the slopes of the slopes, and set up observation posts along the way, but we have not found any anomalies," Commander Maryland responded solemnly, "Now we are opening up the southern battlefield and building the first Two railway lines, there may be some discoveries."

Outside the Iron Throne, between the mountains and rocks, a metal rail with an elegant arc suddenly protrudes and points to the battlefield. With a low humming sound, a dazzling and terrifying white beam cuts through the dark sky at dusk and crosses the Iron Throne. Armed platforms, front-line fortresses and bunkers slowly sweep across the plains and shoot the battlefield.

The powerful flash penetrated the car window and reflected on Maryland's cheeks. At the same time, it also illuminated the interior of the compartment in the tactical section very brightly. Gao Wen frowned in the communicator: "Is that a rainbow cannon just now? The monster's attack is fierce?"

"Yes, I'm about to report - this is what has happened in the last two days. The frequency of those cluster monsters' attacks is increasing, the intensity is also rising, and there will even be a large army charging, depending on the four set on the mountain. Calibrator beam cannons to clear - and such large legions have rarely been seen before after the swarm monsters fell into madness."

"This may be some kind of omen. The most powerful 'monster' that will be created by the end of all things and run out of control should have begun to act," Gawain said quickly, "Continue to pay close attention to the situation on the plain, and report any visions as soon as possible. ——Also remind the armored commandos entering the theater that once they encounter a strange and powerful enemy that is difficult to resist, do not fight to the death, retreat as soon as possible, and ensure that intelligence is the highest priority."

"Yes."

At the end of the communication, Maryland let out a slight sigh, and then came to the window covered with shields, staring at the steel defense line and the scorched earth plain outside the defense line.

The rail system carrying the Iron Throne has been extended to the edge of Solimburg, and the line of defense has also advanced to the edge of Solimburg. At the foot of the mountains that connect the eastern border and the Holy Spirit Plain, countless temporary bunkers, sentry towers, artillery positions and the Iron Throne are common. An indestructible line of defense is formed, but this line of defense is not against the enemy with strong walls and shields, or rather, not only with strong walls and shields against the enemy.

Its main defense method is to smash all approachers.

Maryland, who has been a commander in the Rock Fortress for many years, has always been quite confident in the field of defensive warfare, but it was not until he came into contact with the Cecil people that he found the true meaning of defensive warfare as if opening the door to a new world——

The best defense is the offense, as a popular saying among the White Knights: the best cure is to kill the attacker early.

Behind the "platform" where the Iron Throne rests, on top of a stone ridge, a sentry tower built with a metal frame is standing in the wind. The shimmer of the shield is floating around the sentry tower. The top of the sentry tower is used for communication and transfer. The crystal device of the signal is slowly rotating under the drive of the mechanical structure. Below the crystal device, in a hut covered with steel plates, the sentinel is vigilantly observing the direction of the plain.

The sentry holds a military telescope in his hand. On the basis of the original optical structure, this new type of telescope also adds a spell state that enhances the field of vision, which further improves the effect of ordinary people using it. In the clear field of vision produced by the telescope, the sight of the sentinel is slowing down. Slowly sweeping through the ruins in the distance.

Everything seemed normal except for the occasional cluster monsters running around in the field of vision.

The sentinel retracted his gaze and rubbed his eyes, but just as he was about to turn his gaze in another direction, a strange flash suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

The flash lit up from a great distance. It was not bright at first, but it seemed to have a strong sense of presence with some kind of magic power. At first, the sentinel thought he had an illusion, but soon he saw a second flash of light. appeared, and then the flash turned into a constant brilliance, rising in the distance...

In a war zone filled with all kinds of magical powers, it's not surprising that just a few rays of light appear, but after staring at the rays of light for a moment, the sentinel suddenly had a palpitation - he actually felt a real substance from the rays of light. Malicious!

Without any hesitation, the sentinel immediately photographed the button closest to him.

The piercing alarm bell instantly rang in the tactical section of the Iron Throne, and Maryland suddenly raised her head and heard the communication from the sentinel on the top of the mountain: "Sir! An unknown flash was observed in the southwest direction! The flash has extraordinary power!"

Maryland soon observed the light appearing on the plain. Now it has completely stabilized into a hazy beam, exuding a strong sense of presence, and in the floating light, there is a strange sense of malice and madness. Come.

That illusory aura couldn't have a real impact, but it was enough to make Maryland instantly vigilant—he realized that it might be the "vision" that Gawain was referring to.

"Connect to Saint Sunil immediately," the commander said loudly, and then turned to his subordinates, "Knight Ampel, immediately send a reconnaissance troop to check the situation where the light is rising - remember Don't be careless!"

...

To the southwest of the Iron Throne defense line, near the ruins of Solinburg covered with scorch marks in the wasteland, the ground has already cracked, and a huge figure shrouded in holy light, but full of chaotic atmosphere slowly walked out of the crack on the ground, quietly Standing on the spot.

This is a huge giant deer, with light-cast antlers and crystal-like eyes, pure brilliance surrounds it, and a holy sound faintly floats in the brilliance, but this giant deer's body is hideous. Horrible, terrifying to look at: its fur is cracked, the filthy flesh is rolling and squirming between the fur, a large number of charred or festering scars are spread all over its limbs, and swollen and deformed structures can be seen around the wounds. Every muscle, every inch of skin is constantly agitating and shaking, as if those flesh-and-blood structures were forcibly put together by countless disordered factors, and they are struggling to split at this moment.

But Julu itself didn't seem to notice these terrible wounds and mutations, it just stood quietly on the edge of the ruined town, like a soulless body.
