Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Sword of Dawn" at any time...

If it was the genuine Gawain Cecil 700 years ago, the mood at this time should be lost and even a little sad, because the human kingdoms 700 years ago did not have any contradictions in the future. At that time, everyone came from Gondor. The old folks who escaped from the wasteland were only separated by natural disasters. Several kingdoms worked together to build defense lines and exchange resources. The honeymoon period between the Typhon Empire and the Ansu Kingdom even lasted for more than 500 years.

At that time, no one thought that there would be a day when everyone would face each other.

However, the one standing here is not the genuine Gawain Cecil, but just a satellite spirit who fell from the sky. Gawain knew in his heart that he should sigh, but he was helpless because he was not very good in the play, so he could only try his best to make his own The expression is stiff and serious, and it can be regarded as more sad than a heartbreak emoji: "Is war already declared?"

"There's only one line left," Earl Cohen shook his head lightly. "All diplomatic channels have been cut off, and both sides are stationing troops. At this time, there is no reason to speak. It depends on who will do it first. We are all guessing, maybe within a year, the first A great war will break out among the nations of mankind."

Rebecca, who was next to him, couldn't help it: "But we have to face the tide of magic. If the magnificent wall really collapses, will their Typhon Empire be safe? If the monsters in the wasteland of Gondor Rush out, those monsters will care which country you are from?"

"In fact, in the last communication before the diplomatic interruption, my father had already issued a warning to the Empire," Veronica whispered, "he warned those proud Imperial people that the wasteland of Gondor is changing, The Ansu border also found signs of aberrant activity, and he hopes that the imperial people can put down those stupid hatreds in the face of this real crisis..."

Amber hurriedly asked: "Then what?"

Veronica lowered her eyelids: "Then Typhon unilaterally cut off the magical communication on the border and added another 30,000 troops."

"This is unreasonable!" Rebecca said immediately, "How much hatred Typhon has for Ansu, so he has to do this? And even if they don't believe it, at least say something, what does it mean to shut down the communication directly? …”

"Because human beings themselves are not very intelligent creatures, especially after mixing with the political and aristocratic system, their minds are often confused by things such as interests, face, clan, and war inertia," Gawain shook his head. Said, "And Ansu said that the magic tide is coming, why do the Typhons believe it? They would rather believe that you are using this excuse to delay or prepare for the war, and even if they believe it... I am afraid that they would like the magic tide to quickly use Ansu as the leader. The center erupted."

Rebecca blinked, and the head slapped by the wolf was directly stuck on this topic: "Why?"

Gawain shrugged: "Because this will end Ansu,

They feel that they can directly share the surplus. "

Rebecca felt that she couldn't keep up with Gawain's rhythm even more: "Do they think this is possible? In front of the magic tide..."

"Before seeing those aberrations, did you think about the power of those monsters? Before Cecil's territory was corrupted into wasteland by the elements, did you think about the true power of Chaos Magic? Until now, What you've seen doesn't even count as the aftermath of a real tide."

Rebecca: "..."

Gawain sighed, he said these words not only to Rebecca, but also to the three of Veronica next to him: "So this is the reason, seven hundred years have passed, and human beings are short-lived and short-sighted. Race, except for those elves, everyone now regards the magic tide as an ancient legend. The Ansu royal family even gave up the entire southern region. Tell me, now, apart from this pioneering land, Ansu Where in the whole world can you look directly at the magnificent wall?"

Count Cohen's face changed slightly, while Veronica folded her hands on her chest, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "May the God of Light forgive the ignorant beings - human beings shrink on a stable land, and the boundaries of civilization retreat. If they retreat, the barrier that affects everyone's life and death has long disappeared from their sight..."

"I am afraid that only the elves are still dutifully taking care of the nodes on the magnificent wall, but Ansu and Typhon are not interested in these," Gawain sighed, and then changed the conversation, "but then again, mentioning The Feng Empire's reaction is indeed not quite right. Although people are ignorant, their reaction... there are signs that they are using too much force."

Earl Cohen opened his eyes slightly: "You mean that they both know that there are monsters in Anzu, and they believe in the threat of Gondor Wasteland, but they still choose to start a civil war between humans?"

"I didn't say anything, because I don't know what the Typhon Empire looks like today. The old guys I knew back then have long since died," Gawain spread his hands, "Don't talk about Typhon, I'm in Ansu. You have been in a circle for several months. You have grown barbarically for hundreds of years. If I hadn’t seen many people hang the portraits of our gang on the wall, I couldn’t believe that this piece of land was really opened by us back then… …”

Veronica: "..."

After that, Gawain arranged a reception banquet for the guests from the royal capital.

Today's pioneering camp is still in a pioneering state. Apart from hunting some game from the nearby mountains and forests, the food in the camp is mainly purchased from Tanzania and transported here by river. But these animals are all used for reproduction. At this time, they are reluctant to kill and eat them. Coupled with the lack of food types, of course this feast will not be very rich, but obviously, Veronica is not one who will be here. The stingy and mean noble, the priestess Sandy who came with her, and the Count Cohen, the deputy head of the knights, also knew the general situation well, and no one thought that the Cecil family's hospitality was in the slightest.

Of course, the more important thing is that everyone is generally embarrassed to pick on the thorns of the ancestors, and the 700-year-old generation is here.

After completing the handover of personnel, the three of Veronica will not stay here, but before they leave, Gawain will first take them to visit the camp. He is not worried that this will reveal his secrets, because many projects here are still in their infancy, and even if a professional comes, I am afraid they will not see the name, not to mention that the two priests and a battle mage are not the same. Experts - they don't even know what the original furnace looked like, let alone understand the process of firing Rebecca crystals in the furnace area.

What's more, showing off property and land is the habit and criterion of the nobles of this world. If you don't take them around the camp, it will look suspicious here.

Of course, he excluded the tent where the ball was put out from the tour project - the ball is really not easy to explain...

Of course, Gawain's attention was attracted more than once by Sandy next to Veronica, and there was nothing he could do. With such a luminous creature standing beside him with a holographic projection, there was only one thing left. You can see her abnormality by yourself, no one can't help it, Gawain just glanced at her so much, and Veronica finally noticed it.

"Do you mind Sandy's taciturnity?" Veronica raised the topic euphemistically, "I'm sorry, she's always been like that."

"No, it's just because she's a bit like someone I knew back then," Gawain casually joked about the reason he had already used it in front of Amber once, holding the mentality of "death without proof", he was always righteous when he joked about such things. , "Of course, it's definitely not the same person, but I couldn't help but take a second look. Please forgive me if I offend you."

"Sandy won't mind," Veronica smiled slightly, while the woman named Sandy just nodded slightly, making a little comment, and then Veronica continued to introduce, "She is me A friend of many years, before me, she had converted to the great God of Light, and it was she who showed me the right path."

The tone of a fanatic.

Gawain didn't show his disapproval. After all, how people believe is their business. This holy princess is quite approachable when it comes to topics other than beliefs.

And Veronica's topic is not over yet: "Her piety is admirable, she is taciturn before you, but this is because she has given most of her words to our Lord. At this point, I find you Although everything in this territory is full of life, it seems to lack the guidance of faith?"

Gawain pulled out a smile: "I respect the devout believers very much, but you see, my territory is now only 900 people including the 100 people you brought, and everyone has spent a lot of energy on building houses and reclaiming wasteland. , things like building churches and feeding missionaries can only be put back."

"Faith will not become a burden for the people, but will become their direction and strength," Veronica smiled, "at least the God of Light will teach us, let us be lenient to others, and use the power of the Holy Light Guiding and sheltering all beings - if you wish, I can personally help you to build the Church of the God of Light here, and I can assure you that the Church will never exist in this area other than voluntary offerings. Every penny amassed on the land will be provided by me personally, while at the same time the clergy of the church will provide healing and enlightenment to your people for free."

Gawain kept smiling: "Will there be such a good thing?"

Veronica seemed to be filled with a faint, holy light, and her smile seemed to be soaked in holy light: "Please don't doubt, this is my personal kindness and admiration for a legendary hero like you. , like my brother, I grew up listening to your story."

The smile on Gawain's face did not change at all: "The Cecil family is grateful to Her Royal Highness Princess for her kindness, I will consider this matter, but not now. When the territory is stabilized, I will have enough people under my command. To the extent of faith guidance, I would very much welcome your help."

"That's fine," Veronica's shimmering light gradually faded, and her smile became easy and soft, "Whenever you are in need, the Lord will take care of everyone. It should be noted that although there are many gods, only the holy The God of Light is all-encompassing, and at the end of the Holy Light is the ultimate redemption for all beings who are fools."
