Chapter 1219 (1/2)
Sean has been missing for a month.
The news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Cecilia.
She didn't even know how she spent the next few days after hearing the news. Cecilia's consciousness finally woke up after the emergence of William, Hella, Neil and Diana.
”What the hell is going on?” In the conference room of the wild fortress, Cecilia looked around at the people present, and her voice was a little low.
Since she woke up and stepped into the realm of legend, Cecilia's momentum has become particularly thick. This is not only because of the increasing momentum of the legendary strong, but also has a great relationship with the prestige formed by Cecilia's high position for a long time. Of course, the greater reason is that Cecilia used to be a real Royal member, and her ear and eyes were also a kind of cultivation for her when she was a child.
At this time, sitting in the conference room, all followed Sean's core leadership all the way.
For example, Rena, Alfred, William, Neil, Hella, Abaza, clough, Diana, levy, Eliza, Alexis, shefanio, etc. Kokirei should be responsible for attacking the army on the other side of torus fortress. Rupee, ellikate and others are responsible for assisting kokirei. After all, kokirei can't communicate with others at all; The tungsten Ramo did not come back because of the offensive on the other side of Garrod fortress; Noro is responsible for taking over the command temporarily lost after Haila's return.
As for the head of the scarlet knights, Dwight, the head of the mobile infantry, Adolf, the head of the first infantry, Stalin, and nock, the head of the second infantry, they did not attend the meeting because they had other tasks.
”The details are not clear, but what is certain is that Sean is not dead.” Alexis said in a deep voice, ”the best proof is that those of us who signed a soul contract with Sean, including Gollum, are still alive.”
”But you can't reach Sean!” Cecilia was not afraid because Alexis was a super strong person. She was obviously losing her temper, ”why did Sean leave your protection? Don't you know the importance of Sean? ”
”We know.” Alexis's face showed some anger, but soon calmed down, ”it is because we all know that we know better what is the dignity of the strong If we can always protect Sean, we can, no problem, but do you think Sean can grow? And do you think Sean would be happy to let us protect him all the time? ”
Being asked by Alexis, Cecilia was a little confused for a moment.
Others may not know Sean enough, but how could she not know Sean?
But it was because she knew Sean too well and knew that what Alexis said was true, which made Cecilia feel more difficult to accept.
Sean has never been satisfied with his own strength. From bronze to today's holy land, Sean's progress is far faster than ordinary people's imagination. No one knows how Sean grew up. Only Cecilia, who has been following Sean in his weakest period, knows that Sean needs to pay dozens of times more efforts for each growth than others, and every improvement of his strength has grown up in the environment of countless death crises.
Without these huge crises, Sean's growth might have been much slower.
In fact, even Cecilia couldn't understand why Sean always had such a strong sense of crisis and was never willing to stop for a moment. Obviously, many times, he can stop and have a rest. He doesn't need to move on in such a hurry. But Sean never stopped, as if he had no way back. Once he stopped, he would fall into the abyss.
Cecilia clenched her hands, and tears began to roll in her eyes: ”I know I know But it is because I know, so I am more difficult to accept! Why? Why can't I help Sean now? Why do we have so much power, but Sean still wants to rush ahead alone? Why can't the rest of us walk side by side with him or even help him stop it? Why... ”
Everyone was silent.
No one answered Cecilia's question.
Even Cecilia, who was closest to Sean, first knew Sean, and experienced the darkest and difficult period with Sean, didn't know why Sean had such a desire for power, why she didn't want to stop and have a rest, why she always had a terrible sense of crisis, and how could other people present know?
Maybe only Alexis and others know why, but some words are not what they can say.
The heavy atmosphere in the conference room made everyone feel a burst of breathing difficulties.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to speak.
Alfred, Rena, clough, Abaza, shefanio and others are not good at words, so they are silent; Levi and Eliza are inconvenient to speak because of their identity; Alexis was obviously qualified to speak, but she was obviously unwilling to speak; Diana, who is best at words and adjusting the atmosphere, is not suitable to speak because of her qualifications.
Among all the people present, only William, Neil and Hella are most qualified to break the silence,
”I think the priority now is to find out where Sean is.” Finally Neil broke the silence.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help looking at Alexis.
”According to Elizabeth, before the big bang destroyed everything, there was a path to the abyss, a path to the abyss of the underground world.” After a moment of silence, Alexis answered, and with her answer, the heavy atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated, ”but because Elizabeth had been rescued by the teeth of nothingness before the big bang, she didn't know what happened later.”
”But...” speaking of this, Alexis suddenly turned.
”But what?” Cecilia asked eagerly.
”According to nothingness teeth, Sean was dragged into the big bang.” Alexis looked at Cecilia and then said, ”I searched carefully afterwards. There were no bodies there. Although there was the smell of Sean, the taste was very weak. And from the point of view that Sean is not dead, I doubt that Sean is now... Maybe in the underground world. ”
”Underground world!?” Cecilia suddenly stood up, looking very excited. ”Are we still controlling the path of the abyss?”
”It's too dangerous. We don't know what's going on opposite that passage, and that passage can only allow two people to pass through at present.” William opened his mouth in a deep voice. He immediately understood Cecilia's meaning, ”especially once it is used once, it will enter the blockade state for a short time. We can't send someone over again. This is completely inconsistent with Sean's initial assumption, so we haven't opened this abyss path. ”
”I'm not afraid of danger.” Cecilia said.
”But you can't leave.” Neil directly rejected Cecilia's words.
”Why?” Cecilia looked very excited.
”Because you are Cecilia Connery.” Neil's voice was still calm, even without the slightest ups and downs, ”Sean's sister, now the void principality needs a king to appease the hearts of the people and the army. We are all the core followers of Sean and the first generation of heroes, so we won't have any ideas. But what about the second and third generations we have trained? Especially since the third generation of generals, those people have never fought side by side with Sean. What do you think they will think when they know that the king of their country is gone? So while Sean's whereabouts are unknown, you are the king of the Principality of vanity. ”
Cecilia was stunned and a little overwhelmed.
”Then Alexis...”
”She can't leave either.” Neil's tone remained as calm as ever, ”not to mention whether they can pass through the current abyss, it is impossible for them to disappear for a long time because of the current identities of Alexis, kokire and tungsten Lamo. Because only if they are still there, we will have deterrence, but as long as one of them doesn't show up for a long time, we need to deal with more temptations, which will increase the loss of our energy and resources So at least, they can't leave easily until the current situation is completely stabilized. ”
”Why should I listen to you?” Alexis raised her eyebrows.
”What kind of choice do you think Sean will make?” Neil retorted directly, ”do you want to go to him or do you want to stay here to help? You should know what Sean really thinks. Otherwise, he won't let you stay everywhere to help, but take you with him. ”
Although she wanted to deny it, Alexis opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything in the end.
And Cecilia, too, looked decadent.
The atmosphere in the conference room fell into a silence.
”I will increase the research investment in the hellson Institute and strive to enable them to complete the magic guide as soon as possible, so as to reach the level originally envisaged by Sean. So before that, I don't recommend sending people into the underground world. ” Neil opened his mouth to break the silence. He looked very calm, but his words seemed a little ruthless, ”because it exposed that we have mastered the path of an abyss and may even prepare people in the underground world. So before we are fully prepared, we must keep a low profile. ”
”Did you just let Sean alone in the underground world?” Cecilia shouted excitedly.
”Although the answer is cruel, but... We can only do so at present.” Neil nodded, ”because we have no choice. But... ”Neil paused, then looked at Cecilia and continued,” now you are the king of the Principality of vanity. Therefore, we will choose to obey any instructions and orders you give. My opinions have been expressed, so it's time for you to make a decision. ”
”What decision?” Cecilia looked up.
”Your first decision after becoming the acting Archduke of the void principality.” Neil said in a deep voice. His voice was absolutely calm, but it was because of this calm that he became more solemn and sacred. ”Whether to send people into the underground world immediately or choose to create a void empire.”
Everyone's eyes could not help looking at Cecilia.
Cecilia finally forced herself to calm down after a moment's delay: ”if you increase investment, how long will it take to see results?”
”I can't be sure. If it's fast, it's about a year or two. If it's slow, it may even take years.” Neil thought for a moment before opening his mouth and replied, ”because I have discussed with the staff of the hellson Institute. The most important part of the progress of this technology lies in the power core components of the magic guide. In this regard, perhaps only ancient relics and other things can help research... And at least it needs the support of imperial resources. In other words, if Cecilia wants to choose this way, we must create an empty empire. ”
”Ancient relic products...” Cecilia frowned. ”Magic crystal gun... Does it count?”
”It should count.” Neil is not sure, ”no one can confirm until he has seen the real object. However, the reputation of the meteor God gun is also recorded in many ancient documents. The magic guide gun developed by the hellson Institute is largely a imitation of the magic crystal gun, but its energy output is far from reaching the level of 1% of the magic crystal gun. Maybe if we win the magic crystal gun, we can have more in-depth research in this field, so as to break through the key technology of magic guide power output. ”
Cecilia nodded and then asked, ”what if... If I decide to send two people into the underground world first, is there any problem to be solved?”
”First of all, it's about liaison.” Neil didn't say anything about rejecting the proposal again, but began to discuss it seriously, ”we can't solve this problem for the time being. Secondly, if the destination of this abyss path is in the camp established by the enemy, it is tantamount to death, and we can't even get any information. Finally... No matter whether the people we send can arrive smoothly or not, this abyss path will be discovered by the other party, which will provide people in the underground world with a passage to the surface world. ”
Speaking of this, Neil saw the excitement in Cecilia's eyes, and he had to pour cold water: ”please note that this is an abyss path in which control is completely controlled by the other party. In other words, we can't know when the other party opens or closes. We have to send a lot of people to guard, and... We can't get any benefits from it, such as sending our people underground while the other party opens. ”
After hearing Neil's words, Cecilia's eyes darkened.
”Do I have a choice for such an answer?” Cecilia sighed softly, ”William, I don't care what method you use, you must take fortress Torres for me. It doesn't matter if the magic crystal cannon is destroyed, but we must ensure that it has enough research value. ”
”The little guys in the void have been very helpful recently. They have been able to cooperate with the awesome boy to find out a valuable piece of intelligence. If it is successful, then we will probably be able to put a group of business people in to the inside of the torus stronghold.” William nodded, his face also showed a long lost blush, ”but this is a time war against time, and I can only do my best. There are many loopholes, so I can only hope in ellikate.”
”It's entirely up to you.” Cecilia whispered, then turned her eyes to Hella. ”Hella, are you finished with everything on your side?”
”The front line has been basically stable. Although we have lost about one-third of the territory of the wilderness, this part happens to be an area rich in mineral resources, but people in those countries have not found the resources in this area yet.” Once we entered the planning of strategic layout, Haila showed amazing ability. ”In terms of the current situation, I can transfer about 100000 troops to return, and the remaining troops can only be mobilized slowly to return. There is no way to return at one breath.”
