Chapter 1297： Winter is here (1/2)

A pleasant ringtone like a wind chime came from the nerve link, and Belcetia, who was sitting on the seat of dominance, slowly opened her eyes.

There is not much activity in the huge control hall at this moment. The Temple of Stars, which is cruising in low-power mode, is slowly returning from the border area of ​​the Gaoling Kingdom, among the graceful supporting structures with pale golden arcs on the edge of the hall. , A faint light stream is flowing slowly, among the low and soothing mechanical vibrations, occasionally a slight buzzing from a certain system can be heard,

And compared to the sounds that human ears can hear, Bersetia can hear the deeper "echoes" of the temple from the nerve links directly connected to the core of the fortress: the echoes sound low, gentle and gentle.

Since Master Verania led the astrologists to overhaul the depths of the Temple of the Stars, replacing those ancient systems that have completely failed with new energy arrays, this place has experienced thousands of years of wind. The wind and rain of the ancient aerospace fortress finally broke away from the countdown of continuous decay and collapse. The overwhelmed energy system had a chance to take a breather, and the anti-gravity engine group that was overloaded all year round also gained auxiliary power. Improvement—In Belsetia's memory, this is almost the lowest and comfortable whisper of this fortress that she has heard from the nerve link since she sat on the seat of dominance.

But she knows that this relief is still only temporary... The Temple of Stars is too old, and the problem it faces is far from being repairable by replacing a part of the energy array and engine. Although the magical technology is useful, it is by no means a panacea.

The technicians have delayed time for this aerial fortress-it is only time delayed, someday the elves will still have to find a way to find a really long way.

But that is not something to be considered now.

Belsetia gently rubbed her forehead, so that the perception of "dislocation" due to the long-term connection to the temple system was restored a little bit, and at the same time looked at the maid Elaine who was standing next to her: "Time is almost up-let the unrelated personnel retreat. under."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Elaine, the personal maid, responded softly, then turned and waved to the attendants under the throne and the royal guards outside the inner ring. The personnel who received the instruction immediately saluted the seat of dominance, and then They filed out in order, and in a short period of time, only the Silver Queen on the throne and the maid Elaine on the throne were left in this huge control hall, as well as a large number of fortress monitoring systems that were running automatically.

"The main control is transferred to the self-discipline mode, and continue to cruise at low speed." Bersetia gave orders to the control system of the Temple of Stars in her mind, and then curled her fingers to gently tap the armrest of the throne, a nerve connected to the throne. The cables brightened, the lights in the control hall dimmed, and windows were quietly closed and locked. In the next second, the floor in front of the throne slid to the sides with a slight rubbing sound, and a crystal altar-like The communication device rose from it.

The device was activated, and the responsible crystal array embedded on the top quickly became bright, and two beams of light were released from it, forming a clear magical projection in mid-air. The figures of Gawain Cecil and Rosetta Augustus appeared Projecting.

"Very well, the meeting started as scheduled." Gawain looked at the two figures in front of him. He was sitting in his study at the moment, while images of Belcetia and Rosetta were sitting opposite him, except for the edges of the screen. Except for a little light trembling, this feeling is almost the same as talking face to face, "Good afternoon, two."

The three empire leaders greeted each other without any excessive greetings. Rosetta Augustus, who was thin, black-haired and black-eyed, immediately spoke directly: "I heard you are exploring the Kingdom of God of War by yourself. When I boarded an ancient spacecraft to the depths of the'deep sea', and returned to this world two days later, now you convene this meeting for the first time...what did you find?"

"That ship is a legacy left by the sailor, belonging to an ancient guard system called the'sentinel'," Gao Wen didn't hide it, and said directly-the matter about the sailor was once a secret under the sole control of the Cecil Empire. Intelligence, but with the establishment of the alliance and changes in the world situation, especially the imminent common threats faced by mortal nations, this part of the content has now been made public among the alliance members, and according to the weight of each country, each country has a different control. Information about the sailors to a degree, and among the three empires, this part of intelligence is shared in accordance with the highest standards. "I think you are not unfamiliar with the warning of'careful sentry'-yes, that's that." sentinel'."

Gawain told everything he had seen in the depths of the sea, the intelligence he had obtained in the sentry home port, and his observations and speculations about the strange situation of the spacecraft—in the face of a crisis that could threaten the world. , This information is not necessary to be hidden, and to clarify the critical situation of the matter can more effectively enable the comrades on the same front to come up with sufficient strength.

In the process of Gawain’s narration, Rosetta and Bersetia’s expressions remained solemn and solemn almost all the time. Their brows were furrowed, and they listened without falling to the floor. Only occasionally would they speak out because of doubts. Interrupt, until Gawain's narration came to an end and calm in the communication system was restored, Bersetia broke the silence first: "So not long ago, the sea monsters salvaged the'mysterious cube' from the deep blue network. It is very likely that they are sentinels. A signal to act?"

"If we only suspected that the activities of the wasteland cultists were related to the Deep Blue Netway before then, now we can almost be sure that the'sentinel' is behind this incident," Gawain nodded and said, "It The cubes thrown are likely to be some kind of magic control device. A large number of that device will form a huge system in the deep blue network. Once that thing takes shape, then the sentry and the cult controlled by the sentry will almost control ours. The lifeblood of this planet-its danger does not need to be emphasized by me."

Rosetta Augustus looked at Gawain: "Then what are your thoughts on this?"

"To mobilize all the power we can use to the foot of the magnificent wall, now is not the time to continue to preserve power. After the border defense line is completed, immediately let the various advance bases march into the wasteland, build bridgeheads in the contaminated area, and start searching Traces of those cultists. At the same time...find a way to get in touch with the Wasteland Center."

"Get in touch with the Wasteland Center?" Bersetia couldn't help but frowned. Gawain's last sentence obviously caught her attention, "What can be there..."

Gawain's gaze slowly swept over the Empress Silver and Emperor Typhon. After a moment of silence, he slowly said in a low voice: "The last legion of the ancient Gondor Empire... is still in the ruins of the Deep Blue Well. They will be our firmest allies when we counterattack the wasteland."

Bersetia's eyes widened in an instant, and she subconsciously looked at Rosetta Augustus, but from the face of this serious middle-aged human who was always stern, she also saw a shocked expression similar to her own. It took more than ten seconds before she heard Rosetta speak: "I can't remember how many times I have been shocked by you, my Majesty Gawain—how many secrets are you still hiding?"
