Chapter 467: Boiling Elichar (1)
Lu Xi and Sai Xiliu didn't know that they had already passed by the boat that the other party was on, and this kind of bloody episode that should have happened in emotional dramas in the eighties and nineties happened quietly.
There must be something big going on, otherwise the Federation's floating fleet would not have been able to go out of the nest. But they stayed on the ship, and now they didn't even know what was going on. Lu Xi was looking forward to seeing Daddy Seaweed bring a black technology like a messenger crystal on his ship, but unfortunately there was nothing. He bought a few copies of the newspaper from the albatross newsboy passing by, of course, it was impossible to find any exact information, but from the international edition of the "Elichar Times", he found a news about "The No. 39 Reclamation Farm in Black Man City was attacked by orcs, and the Black Man Garrison Command said that it would definitely seek justice".
Speaking of which, it's already May, and Carol should have arrived in Blackman. If it were a qiē shun lì, the number of federal troops in Heiman City should have exceeded 10,000 now, and of course, including the semi-compulsory "immigrants" who had cultivated their farms in advance, this number should also reach tens of thousands.
Lu Xi suddenly realized a problem. Two years ago, I could be besieged in Black Man City by a coalition of undead and demonic beasts; Now, two years later, the undead lords of Henas and the demonic beast lords of Minas still have a way to put a large number of troops near Black Mancheng City, of course, it is very likely that the orcs in the Great Wasteland have also been involved. In this way, the situation in Black Man City is a bit delicate.
Couldn't it be because Black Man City was wheeled again, so the Federation fleet rushed over to support it again? Uh, why do I say "again"? And said it twice?
Lu Xi sincerely hoped that his guess was wrong. I also sincerely hope that the departure of the Grand Fleet to the eastern border this time is a simple military transfer, rather than a rush to find someone to open a film.
Although he knew that it was unlikely.
Uncle Seaweed may have seen Lu Xi's anxiety. Or maybe he was a little anxious in the next few days. The Unicorn was sprang to great speed, finally arriving at Elichar two days before June's arrival. At this time, if you count the time, the main force of the huge Federation fleet may have arrived at the fortress of Daroshul.
"Then, I will go as far as I can to ask for His Excellency the Minister of War of Rassell. Thank you for your warm hospitality all the way, Mistress Aemon. ”
"You're still too polite. As I've already said, I'm lucky to be able to travel with the best young people in the Federation. Even in this case, Uncle Seaweed still smiled kindly: "I will do my best to rush home to discuss this matter with my brother." The Praetorian Fleet was dispatched. The country is bound to face an eventful time. At such a delicate juncture, it is hoped that every member of the Federation will be able to do his or her best to fulfill his due responsibilities and obligations for this country. So, let's say goodbye here, and wish a qiēshun lì. ”
This speech before the farewell sounds like an official article used by the big people to fool the dicks and fart people to send them to death, although these words were said by Uncle Seaweed, but they seemed to be particularly emotional and sincere, but the first thought that popped up in Lu Xi's heart was: "If you are willing to donate half of your property, I really believe in your responsibilities and obligations." ”
Of course, everyone will say that if someone really says to Lu Xi one day: "Please donate half of your property for the sake of the Federation", his first reaction must be to feel the World Tree Scepter and put a thick and dense shot on someone else's throat. We can see this from this. Whether it is the so-called gatekeeper and wealthy faction representing the reactionary forces, or the spectator and complaining faction like Lu Xi, who claims to be the conscience of society, as long as it involves their own interests, they are fundamentally the same. The martyrs who "although tens of millions of people have gone to me" may also exist, but they are still a minority. Humans are stupid and short-sighted creatures. At the end of the day, it's so incorrigible.
As one of the representatives of the stupid rat-eyed human race, Lu Xi entered the official residence of the Minister of War two hours later, but this time he did not meet Rassell, the representative of the "martyr" in his mind. He was met by Arantis, the chief secretary of the military minister's office, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you...... Anyway, Brother Alain. You shouldn't be under 30 this year, right? With such a frosty eggplant, I am afraid that someone will believe that you are about to retire, right? What's wrong with you? Last night, I was sucked by twenty Obasans who sat on the ground like wolves? ”
"Go, go, go! You've been wheeled by a bunch of lichs who aren't male or female! "It's coming to an end. Arantis, who also has the appearance of a young man, but his temperament and mental state are as sluggish as an old man in his twilight, finally regained a little bit of vitality, and glanced at Lu Xi angrily, only then did he show a wry smile: "I have been working continuously for 30 hours, and I have only drunk one pot of coffee and two biscuits during this time. In the previous week, I hadn't slept more than 10 hours combined. Hehe, in my current state, even if I put a dust raising technique, maybe it will be magically rampant. ”
The casting of spells by magicians especially depends on full energy and adequate sleep, but if it is an official ape, especially a particularly responsible official ape like Alandis, staying up late and working overtime should be commonplace. So Lu Xi has felt from before that the federation, which allows magicians to monopolize political leadership positions, is actually claimed to be a normal country, which is too underestimating the meaning of "country", hey?
"The teacher is working harder than me. He was working when I was working, he was resting when I was resting, and now he's on his way to the Federal Department of Transportation Audit, and it's supposed to be a morning meeting. ”
“…… Well, can I ask, why are you guys so busy? Of course, if it comes to federal military secrets, don't talk about it, it sounds particularly troublesome. ”
"Huh? Don't you know yet? As the teacher said before, when the order for the entire Praetorian Fleet to dispatch reaches your ears, you will surely rush to Elichar. Of course, this order was issued only last month. I was a little surprised that you were able to arrive in such a short period of time. Uh, looking at your expression, isn't that the reason? ”
Lu Xi paused and said in a deep tone, "...... It was at the beginning of this month that an elite group of undead led by three lichs, a 'human' necromancer comparable to a lich, three death knights, and a vampire lord at least a marquis-level vampire lord attacked Isle of Rainbow. ”
Alantis immediately jumped up immediately: "What? How is this possible? How did so many high-ranking undead appear? ”
"Huh? How did you even know the news? Lu Xi said that he was so surprised that the other party really surprised him. Although I know that the communication crystal is very valuable, and it is estimated that there are only a dozen sets in the whole federation after a few times, and it is unlikely that they will be distributed to such a remote and remote country as Moore County, but even so, the alliance has a lot of means of communication, right? Not to mention the albatrosses that can only fly all over the sky and sell newspapers, there will be a lot of tamed beasts that can fly at high speeds, right? It's really not good, and there are contract monsters that summon mages and the like, there's no reason why you didn't learn this until today, right? ”
In fact, it was precisely because the mages of the Learned Alliance possessed a means of rapid communication that were far stronger than those of the empires on the ground, that the Federation maintained a barely stable position under the control of the mage group. Otherwise, the federation, which rules such a huge territory (referring to all the areas controlled by the federation, including the sea of clouds and the sky), would be separated by a sea of clouds and sky between its various airspaces and even the various floating islands, and the country would have been divided long ago with the transportation conditions and administrative efficiency of the present medieval era.
"That's because the alliance's information transmission resources are all used for this fleet expedition!" Alan said: "Otherwise, it is almost an impossible task to integrate this large fleet of nearly one-third of the Federation's World War II ships and gather 50,000 of the most elite Federation soldiers in just one month." By the way, in order to support this expedition, Elichar has already sent a message to Guò, and ordered the counties to mobilize the grain and baggage and transport ships as quickly as possible to send them to the fortress of Daroshur, that is, the headquarters of the Eastern Legion. ”
"With the current finances of the Federation, can you support this expedition? Don't wait until the Grand Fleet has not yet reached the eastern border, because the supplies can't keep up with half of the mutiny. Lu Xi sneered.
"That's why we're so busy. Since we are going to go on the expedition, don't we have to do the statistics and transportation plans of the supply department? Alantis smiled bitterly: "According to the calculations of the past few days, it can still support the last few months...... No, that's not the point at all! I was almost taken away by you. I wanted to ask you, what's going on over there on Rainbow Rose Island? ”
"The teacher is not at home, and I have already sent a letter to his old man, but I guess I have just received the news. A few people died on the island, but we wiped out the invaders...... The rest of the losses are not big, the only thing to worry about is that the other party should also have a master of covert action, and he actually invaded the teacher's real room while I was doing it with those undead. Oh, if it weren't for the coincidence that the sudden intruder scared the other party away, I really don't know what else would have happened. ”
"Real yàn room?" Alan was slightly stunned, and then frowned and muttered, "Could it be that the undead are interested in the study of Master Orucello?" They entered the hinterland of the Federation on such a large scale just to enter the master's real yàn room and steal things? ”
"And to completely erase me. At least that's what my captive thinks. Lu Xi sneered: "No way, a quiet and beautiful man like Young Master Ben is also harmless to humans and animals, but it is estimated that because he is too handsome, he attracts envy, jealousy and hatred, especially those vicious bones and rotten meat sticks, it is difficult to find someone who looks neat, and it is understandable that he will be so jealous that he wants me to die." ”
"But that's the problem. Why did those guys know that Master Orucello was not at home, and why did they enter the hinterland of the Federation? Alain's brow was still tightly locked. (To be continued......)
