Chapter 657 (1/2)
Twenty miles south of the manor is the front line of the battle with the abyss creatures.
Here, too, is the northernmost end of the southern special zone of the dren empire. If this line of defense is broken through, the southern special zone will be completely occupied, and abyssal creatures will be able to drive straight into the southern Great Plain of the dren Empire, which is densely populated and prosperous.
High in the sky, a war airship like a deep sea giant shark, cruising slowly.
One by one, the artillery balloons were suspended in the air, and the watchers kept roaring loudly. The signalmen, according to the orders of the watchers, waved the flags and sent dense signals to the artillery positions on the ground.
At a glance, the hills and forests are full of new large caliber field artillery positions.
Joe and Salian stood in the pod of a fast airship, side by side at an observation window, overlooking the passing artillery position below.
There was a strange smell in the pod. After a long silence, Salian said with a dry smile: ”these days when you are sleepy, all the industrial and mining industries in Ruhr are under military control, and the productivity has expanded 13.5 times in a short period of time. With the productivity of base chariots, we can now have 3000 new field guns every day.”
”If it wasn't for the support of these new guns, the Northern Line of the Empire's main defense could barely support it, but the mercenaries in the West and the subordinate doglegs in Lucia in the East, they would have been broken through long ago...”
He kept blinking and peering at Joe's black hair, eyebrows and eyes.
”She and I don't look alike.” In his own memory, Joe found out the appearance of the spirited woman.
”As like as two peas, they are almost identical.” ”As like as two peas,” Salian whispered, ”you've been fighting with people several times. When you're thin, your face is almost the same as her... Well, that's the kind of muscle that you have on your cheeks... If it's softer...”
”Soft?” Joe curled his lips: ”well, what am I like now? Is it soft enough? ”
Joe patted heavily on the belly.
Meat wave rolled under Joe's general's uniform, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently. He didn't say a word for a long time.
”Er, I'm a little hard to accept...” Joe held his hands on his chest and looked down at Salian.
”I can understand your feelings... But for you, my grandmother and I are very happy... Especially for me, it's not just ecstatic, it's redemption.”
Salian looked up at Joe and said, ”I always thought you were dead.”
Joe squinted.
”When I returned with the army, Qianhu castle had been razed to the ground. I only found your mother's favorite gem ring in the ruins, but the ring holder had also been burned and distorted,” said Salian in a deep voice
Joe took a deep breath, and then slowly, slowly, a little bit of the breath out.
In the pod, a gust of wind rose from the ground. Salian was unstable and staggered back two steps. The small airship also shook violently, and the soldiers controlling the airship gave a sharp whistle.
Joe breathed in.
”I can understand your attitude towards me... Well, well, as my biological brother, vigrah, he has kept it from me for more than ten years.”
”But your mother and I really love each other... Of course, our relationship, in a sense, is immoral... Because at that time I had a wife and Isaac was born...”
”But my wife, Isaac's mother, you know, Royal marriages are never based on feelings. In a word, the elders of both sides, the ministers of both sides, they think you should marry and have children, and you will marry and have children. ”
Qiao strange smile: ”just like pig farm, will two...”
Salean's face was dark. Could there be such a curse?
In any case, he is indeed the real father of this fat man.
”After the birth of Isaac, I had a dispute with his mother. She wanted to interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire, and I was trying my best to prevent her from doing so... There were some contradictions that could not be explained to others, so I traveled around medland with vigrah, who also just got married, and took a Royal Exchange Group.”
”Thousand Lake duchy is my last stop with vigrah.”
”It's a very beautiful small country in the mountains. Its land area is only the smallest province of the Empire. But the territory is densely covered with thousands of lakes, large and small, and there are many underground currents, which are rich in sands, precious stones, rare animals and rare metals. ””Therefore, the Principality of Qianhu is very rich, but because of its weak national strength, it has always been a vassal of the Empire. Relying on the protection of the Empire, the Empire even stationed an elite field division in the principality for protection all the year round.”
”Your mother has a very beautiful name of Donglu, Qiao Lingxi...”
”Her surname, according to the customs of Donglu, comes first... Her surname is Joe, and your name is the pronunciation of her surname...” Salian repeated ”Qiao Lingxi” and ”Qiao” in Donglu and medland.
Joe's face drooped, and he knew the origin of his name.
His first name is the name of his biological mother.
There was a strange throb in his heart.
”You have a quarter of Donglu blood. Because your grandfather, your mother's father, is an exiled Prince of Donglu... That's a very long story, and I don't know much about it. ”
”In a word, he fled to medland with a team of loyal bodyguards and great wealth, which is said to be the Treasury of an empire. He secretly came to the thousand lakes principality, which is surrounded by mountains, numerous underground currents, complex and rugged terrain, and dense mountains and forests.”
”He fell in love with your grandmother at first sight, married, and had your mother.”
”When your mother was ten years old, he took part of the bodyguards and an army hired by him from the mountain countries to return to the east land by boat... He never forgot his love for his hometown, so he wanted to take the army back to China.”
