Chapter 1312： rear (1/2)

Regarding the Gondor wasteland in the south, Gawain prepared many backup plans, backup plans for backup plans, and backup plans for backup plans. He even had so many plans that sometimes made Heidi and Rebecca feel complete. There is no necessary level, but as long as there is a chance, he will continue to add "weights" toward the wasteland.

The first reason is that the strong impression left by Gawain Cecil 700 years ago in his memory makes Gawain maintain the highest level of vigilance against the endless wandering monsters in the wasteland at all times. , The second is based on Gao Wen’s own judgment. Since he knew that the ancients in this world used a wall to shut the deadly natural disasters in a wasteland, he felt that this matter was not very reliable, after all, countless experiences in his previous life. Tell him that the disaster covered up must be blown up, and the wall used to block the monsters must be collapsed. Why is there such a barrier like the wonder of the world erected on the border? Isn’t that just to blow up a big one when you put g!

So since the day he uncovered the coffin, he has been preparing for the day when the wall of wasteland completely collapsed. Now I can only say that this day has come after all.

He rubbed his eyebrows, raised his head from the documents on the desk, his gaze slowly swept across this huge room. In the room were sitting many senior government officials, including Hetty, and many were projecting holographic images. In the magic net terminal, one by one, real or imaginary figures gather here, some are waiting for the update report, and some are waiting for the next order.

"At present, our soldiers have stabilized the line of defense." Above a magic net terminal not far away, Philip's figure floats in front of Gawain. The young imperial commander is backed by a busy frontline command post. After the green forest barrier was raised, the main enemy vanguard fell into the predation zone and was wiped out. We then used superior firepower to cut off the path of the deformed body. The enemy's follow-up troops have now temporarily retreated to the depths of the wasteland. The main force has advanced into the wasteland and established several temporary strongholds in the southern part of the former site of the Great Wall. Now we are waiting for the purification device to take effect, and continue to send investigative units to collect enemy movements."

Gawain nodded lightly, and then his gaze turned to another holographic projection on the opposite side, where a special figure was standing quietly.

It was Bertila in the holographic projection that was directly connected by nerve conduction. She mimicked herself as when she was a human being. The background behind her was half of the giant Thorin tree standing on the plain and bathed in sunlight. It is a vast forest standing on the edge of the wasteland and transforming into a green forest barrier. After noticing Gawain’s sight, she immediately nodded and said, “I’m in good condition here, and the distal limbs have survived smoothly. Now I’m transforming the biomass that I prey on during the day. It may take a while.”

"Well, you don't have to worry about it. First of all, you must ensure that you can stably take root in the magnificent wall in the northern region. There has been an irreparable hole in the magnificent wall in the north. You are the most important barrier there." Gao Wen exhaled, very solemn Said.

While saying this, he also lamented in his heart that his bold decision was correct. Letting the giant Thorin tree spread toward the wasteland is probably the most successful of his many plans.

This ambitious and adventurous plan cannot be realized overnight. Of course, Bertila, who is far away in the Plains of the Holy Spirit, cannot instantly transfer part of his limbs to the southern front of the Dark Mountains. The "Plan of Sprawl" was actually launched a long time ago. It was negotiated and secretly decided by him and Bertila. They discussed the possibility of allowing the giant tree of Thorin to grow in one direction, and discussed the use of synthetic brain in the process to solve the difficulty of controlling the remote limbs of the giant tree. Biomass plants along the way have many solutions to solve the problem of insufficient root nutrition in the "spreading period".

He took this as a hole card. Even within the empire, only a limited number of high-level executives and some executors who were directly involved in the plan knew the existence of this plan. In the past year or so, Bertila’s The roots have been spreading in the depths of the earth without anyone knowing. It took her more than half a year to spread from the east of the Holy Spirit Plain to the south, and then from the south to the dark mountains, and it took another two months to cross the dark mountains with complex structures. The rock formations, underground karst caves, and mountain cavities then grew secretly in the plains near the magnificent wall. Relying on the nutrients provided by the large number of biomass factories set up along the way by the advancing troops, a large-scale "predator organ" was bred underground...

Of course, this large-scale "spread" is not entirely invisible. Although Bertila has made her roots move as far as possible in the depths of the earth, she still needs some "nodes" close to the surface to supplement nutrients or Communicate with local operatives responsible for cooperating. Therefore, in the past year, people have discovered some strange phenomena in the "spreading areas" such as Pompeii, Cecil, South Gate Fortress, and the advancement base.

These wonderful phenomena include, but are not limited to, unusually lush forests, lush vegetation in winter, clean flowers blooming in polluted areas... These things can essentially be counted as being accidentally dropped by Bertila during growth." "Debris", and these "debris" that cannot be explained by common sense have left rumors like urban legends and strange talks in many places...

Fortunately, the rumors are only rumors, and this secret plan is still smoothly implemented to this day, but unfortunately...Gawain did not intend to expose Bertila so soon. In his initial plan, Bertila will always be a "dark front" spreading deep in the earth. While the advancing forces on the ground are launching a frontal attack, she will secretly spread underground until the army advances. In the depths of the wasteland, when the battle with the enemy enters a critical point, the "living forest" will rush out of the ground and bloom inside the core area of ​​the wasteland. Face punched hard.

Unfortunately, this can only be what he imagined. Who would have expected that the magnificent wall would break a big hole in this knot?

"Sorry, brother Gao Wen," probably noticing the change in the expression on Gao Wen's face, Bertila suddenly said without waiting for Gao Wen to speak, "I got out of the ground without permission. I exposed your most important picture. brand."

"It's not your fault. In that situation, if you wait until my order and then act, I'm afraid that the front line will have fallen, and even the Typhon defense line next to it will have to be completely torn apart. At that time, we will have any more cards. It doesn't make sense," Gao Wen waved his hand, "I gave you the authority to decide on your own in an emergency, just to deal with this unexpected situation."

He paused at this point, and then changed the conversation: "The situation is already like this. We have to look ahead and see how the current situation is under the abandoned land? Can you continue to advance?"

"It has begun to encounter resistance," Bertila said immediately. "As I expected, those cultists also rely on building a network of nerves and roots underground to establish a command system. This is a unique technical method of the End of All Things. , And now they are aware of my existence, this root network... is turning into a state of active defense."

She squinted her eyes slightly, seeming to be sensing the state of certain nerve nodes in the distance, and then opened her eyes for a while and continued: "Now the enemy has concentrated the power of their root network towards the north, and my roots are growing. China has encountered stubborn resistance and now can only make a positive breakthrough, and it is impossible to bypass it."

Gawain seriously looked at the former dark master who was attacking the wasteland alone on the battlefield invisible to ordinary people: "Do you have an advantage now?"
