Chapter 823 The Battle Drum Before the Storm and Frodo's Struggle

To the west of the Emerald City, the capital of the Redstone King, was originally a gravel wasteland, but now it has become the largest military base of the Dawn Empire.

The upper part of the base is surrounded by huge stone pillars like a forest of peaks. This is the base of the floating fleet.Floating ships are rising and falling, including slender and white battleships, and stubby, clumsy merchant ships with various colors of painting.

The lower half of the base, that is, the wide plain under the forest of stone pillars and peaks, is surrounded by magical stone walls.Warehouse-like buildings are distributed among them, and the flow of people and vehicles are intertwined and shuttled, making it extremely busy.

It was the midsummer of July, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the air was floating and transpiring, making this legion city, which was completely different from the painting style of the old era, look like an illusory mirage.

In a certain corner of the base, twenty or so magical chariots of various types were parked together.The one with the long barrel is the nine-magnification magic cannon, the one with the thick and short barrel is the catapult cannon, and the turret is made of round metal balls, which is a ray cannon, and the one with only multiple machine guns should be a troop carrier .

The badges of all the tanks are the same. This should be an independent magic tank brigade that is less than a formal brigade but larger than a squadron.

The steel and copper body of the chariot gleamed with gold and silver luster in the sun, and halfling maintenance workers in blue suspender overalls were busy on and off the chariot.

Frodo huddled in the shadows under the chariot to enjoy the cool air, and an old repairman greeted warmly: "Sir, ice cold red ale!"

"Obi, thank you."

Frodo took the decanter half as tall as him, and the cold feeling penetrated from the palm of his hand to his body, and then spread to his heart, making him sigh wearily.

He lifted the bottle cap out of thin air with his shadow hand, Gududu took a big sip, wiped his mouth and said, "Is the base even equipped with a refrigerator?"

During the time he stayed in Fei Gong, he saw all kinds of magic devices that made life more convenient and comfortable.

Hoverboards, motorcycles, magic vehicles, magic stoves, magic or magic lamps, ovens, refrigerators, and constant temperature fans are the most common ones.At that time, although it had not yet entered civilian households, it was already very popular in public places such as the military and political departments and service centers of the PPC.

It seems that similar magic devices are being widely spread in Fern, and all the military camps here are using them.

The old halfling named Obi is a maintenance technician at the base. In the field of simple mechanical construction, halflings are actually not as good as goblins, but many halflings like to tinker with the magic circuit connecting the magic circle, which makes them more and more popular in the increasingly revived halflings. He has a skill in the wizarding industry.

The old halfling held up the wine bottle and said, "His Royal Highness Rimaco deliberately told the base to install it. His Royal Highness is a very good man!"

Frodo raised the bottle and touched it, and said that indeed, Remacho was not only a good man, but also a good boss, and he was very sympathetic to his subordinates.

But no matter how sympathetic you are, it is for everyone to win the battle...

Frodo's heart, which had just been soothed by the cold beer, agitated again at the thought of fighting against the source of the change.

"Sir, you seem to be worried about something."

The old halfling was very good at observing words and expressions: "It seems that you are used to thinking about things from a bad angle. You are a good officer. Your guys are really lucky."

Patting Frodo on the shoulder, Obi said: "But don't be too obvious, it will affect the morale of the guys. Even if the followers of Fei Gong are a little clever, how can they be the opponent of Her Majesty the Goddess?"

Obi drew a circle forward with the wine bottle, enclosing most of the bases: "Look at this barracks, it's an unimaginable sight! His Highness Rimaco has gathered twenty legions, and each legion has four 5000 people, twice the size of the previous legion!"

"Weapons are even more terrifying. This sir knows better than me. Commoner soldiers use dwarf muskets, superhumans use magic guns, and elite units use automatic magic guns. Sir, in your brigade, every tank is a A sophisticated and powerful war puppet. Such a large army can completely sweep away the purgatory and the abyss, right?"

The old halfling's tone was extremely enthusiastic, even with a lot of pride: "Not to mention the airship over there, in the past, such an airship, even if it was a kingdom, would definitely Bow your head!"

Frodo laughed along, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Is this considered powerful?
During the battle in Brad Kingdom ten days ago, such troops could only watch from the outside!

The pride of the old halfling was also a source of embarrassment, and what the Imperial Propaganda Department had done during this time was undoubtedly a success.But as a witness at the scene, even if he doesn't know every detail of the Yuanzu incident, he still knows the general ins and outs.

Whether it is Marshal Sylvie, who has become a heroic spirit, or Theresia, the goddess and queen, the roles played in the Yuanzu incident...

Frodo closed his eyes in pain. Out of love for Theresia, he did not want to admit that the queen was actually on the side of evil, but Fei Gong was indeed on the side of justice.

"So, that evil god Lady Scarlet and her believers, as well as those Brad people, go as far as you can! Don't think about staying on the main plane and harming us!"

The old halfling yelled and raised the bottle again, and Frodo lifted it up with a wry smile, and took another sip of the cold beer, and the coolness in his heart was not so pleasant.

Near the maintenance field is a warehouse-like building, which is the camp of his army, and the solemn and dignified voice of the Dawn News Agency announcer came out of it.

"The Ministry of Magic of the Empire has confirmed through investigation that the shock that occurred in Valentine yesterday was caused by the impact on the barrier of the main plane. The specific reason should be related to Fei Gong's continued expansion of the passage between the main plane and the inner plane."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister stated that His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial government have been controlling the relevant developments. The people of the empire and all the people who yearn for peace and order on the main plane of Finn need not worry. The CCP has no chance to put demons and demons into the main In this plane, His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Legion will fight to the end to defend the people and the world."

"The Prime Minister's Office today revealed more details of the Bled withdrawal plan. According to the Bled Law issued by His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that the Kingdom of Bled will be revoked, and the territory of the Kingdom will become the Governor-General of the Empire. .All Braiders who go back to the ancient blood and abandon the current form of mortals will be treated the same as undead, demons, and devils."

"His Majesty's personal advisor, His Excellency the legendary wizard Eldhiros, has previously accepted the appointment of the Emperor to serve as Governor of Brad. The legion led by Prince Phillips of the Kingdom of Kandas is heading to Brad to clear the The legacy of the ancient blood disaster. There will be at least [-] legions stationed in Brad in the future to ensure that the ancient blood disaster will not spread to the entire main plane."

"The Minister of Magic of the Empire, Grand Master Medi, resigned from the position of Minister of Magic today, and only retained the position of His Majesty's magic advisor. He issued a notice saying that in view of the increasingly frequent and serious disasters of the replacement of the era, he needs to focus on magic research and help His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire better defend the world and its people."

"His Majesty the God Emperor announced that the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Magical Affairs will be merged into a new Ministry of Magic, and the legendary magicians Gordon, Simberna, and Mosmut will be appointed as acting ministers to manage magic education, magic engineering and magic respectively. three areas of industry."

Most of Frodo's men huddled inside to read the news, and Obi's eyes lit up outside.Frodo sighed secretly, for a subject of the empire like Obi, all the news about the Yuanzu incident and the judgment of the Fei Gong came from the Shuguang News Agency.

On the second day after the Yuanzu incident, the empire comprehensively strengthened the management of the joint communication network and the dissemination of phantoms.

Later that day, hundreds of people from all over the country were executed in public in various kingdoms, duchies and governorships for spreading the vision of Sylvie’s suffering on the joint communication network and the trade wind network for the first time. .

Two or three days later, ten times as many people were arrested for collecting and secretly using recording chips to spread illusions.A small number of people were executed, and the whereabouts of most of them are unknown. It is speculated that they were taken to the spar and magic metal mines to perform hard labor.

Up to now, in the slightly larger towns in the empire, people no longer dare to talk about Sylvie's suffering in public.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, those who are keen to spread and talk about that scene are evil, and they deserve what they deserve.

Marshal Sylvie tried his best to stop the Bled people in order to prevent the Goddess of Nemesis from returning through the Yuanzu. Unexpectedly, Cardinal Li Qi, who had been on good terms with the Queen, colluded with the Bled people and killed Marshal Sylvie. Transformed Yuan Zu into Fei Gong's war golem.

The Imperial Propaganda Department's description of the Yuanzu incident and Fei Gong has to be said to be well-documented and iron-clad.

Don't Fei Gong just like to build such weird, huge and terrifying weapons?The mobile fortress they advertised all over the world before is the best proof. They definitely want to build Yuanzu into a living fortress, and then they will be invincible on the main plane.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to collude with demons and devils, releasing the breath of purgatory on the main plane, and the signs of pollution left on the battlefield are still there.That piece of land can no longer be cultivated, and even living people will be sucked out of their souls and vitality by the breath of purgatory if they approach.

Their plot almost succeeded. Fortunately, His Majesty God Emperor Teresia finally understood all this after the death of Marshal Sylvie, and used God's Punishment Forbidden Curse to incapacitate Yuan Zu.Later, Fei Gong and Brad people were still not reconciled. They dispatched huge and weird "horrible" monsters that should not appear on the main plane, but they still got nothing.

His Majesty the God Emperor felt extremely ashamed of her mistakes and was extremely hurt by the death of Marshal Sylvie. She ruled that Fei Gong and the Brad people were the enemies of order for mortals, and she was determined to expel them from the main plane.

God Emperor Teresia's speech hallucination, together with various authentic records confirmed by the Rowena Visual Magic Alliance that they have not been modified, convinced the subjects of the empire that this was a disaster created by the Fei Communist Party and the Brad people.

The subjects were also extremely shocked and angry about Teresia being deceived by Li Qi. The general public, led by Zold, criticized themselves for being deceived by Li Qi and Fei Gong through the Internet, and at the same time expressed their firmness Support His Majesty the God-Emperor to expel evil and defend the righteous and holy war of order.

Later, when the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Empire announced the formation of more legions, according to the Shuguang News Agency, the total number of applicants from all regions of the Empire exceeded tens of millions.

Frodo looked at the old halfling Obi, who was listening intently to the news, and knew that there was no need for the Imperial Propaganda Department to lie about this matter, and Obi was a living example.

"I didn't say when and how to fight..."

After listening for a long time, but still not hearing any news related to this place, Obi was a little frustrated.

Still Frodo could not help asking: "Do you wish so much for us to fight the Pfeiffers?"

A small head hung upside down from the chariot, and said righteously: "Shouldn't they fight? They killed Marshal Sylvie, they colluded with demons and devils, and they want to use Yuanzu to rule the world!"

Frodo scolded angrily: "As long as you talk too much, has my car bench been wiped clean?"

This is his little squire. Since he is a knight and a captain, of course there must be someone around him to serve him.

The captain's squires could even be counted in squads in other companies, and Frodo did not like that, and with Sam's stick there were not many who could meet that standard.

Obi chuckled and said, "Actually, I know a lot of what the news agency said is not true..."

The old halfling said leisurely: "Whether Fei Gong did those things, who knows?"

"Perhaps it was Her Majesty who quarreled with that Li Qi, and thought we were something they smashed to calm down when they were angry. When the things were almost smashed, they calmed down, and then reconciled. There is no way, mortals, never This has been the fate since ancient times.”

"But Lady Scarlet and her church are really weird. I've heard a lot of rumors about them. It's said that not only do they not want a king, but they don't even want gods. It's contradictory, like a lunatic."

"They are the same as the Ismart believers who ran to Brad. They want to overthrow the nobles. They keep saying that they want to liberate slaves and let mortals be free, but I heard that in their territory, mortals actually live the worst life." Free."

The old halfling shook his head: "I heard that there isn't even a brothel there, and you have to control drinking. I don't want that kind of freedom, and I'm definitely not on the same side as them. Her Majesty wants to beat them, of course I agree."

Obi's tone became enthusiastic again: "Actually, these are all nonsense! If you don't fight me, how can you get a job? If you don't fight, sir, when will you earn the title of baron and truly become a nobleman? Ask your Little servant, doesn't he want to be a knight, earn a lot of meritorious service and exchange it for gold coins, and live a life like a noble?"

Obi gulped the rest of the wine down his stomach, haha ​​spit out the alcohol, and said with a smile: "The Queen's war to overthrow Youxiang was too fast! Too many people heard the news and ran out of their hometowns, wanting to live in Earned titles and money in the war, but did not expect the war to be over."

"With such an opportunity now, who doesn't want to fight? Who doesn't want to fight as soon as possible?"

Frodo opened his mouth to say something, but he closed his mouth again when he heard the squires humming passionately as they cleaned the seats in the chariot, and saw the longing on the old halfling's face.

"My lord, paint your chariot with xet camouflage!"

"Eagle, tiger or even dragon can be chosen!"

A squeaky sharp voice sounded, and it turned out to be two goblins.One was driving a floating trailer, and the other was holding a flag on the carriage, with a... file drawn on it.

"Painting this layer of camouflage on the chariot can reduce the chance of being discovered by the enemy by 70.00%, even if it is discovered, the chance of being targeted by the enemy will also be reduced by 50.00%, and the locking time of the locking spell will also be extended by [-] times! "

"Such a set of magical camouflage colors only needs two golden bushels or thirty redstone gold coins! Think about it, you have five people in a car crew, and each of you only needs to spend six redstone gold coins to save a life. !"

The two goblins shouted excitedly, and Frodo waved his hands irritably: "No, go..."

These goblins sell them all kinds of things all day long, and listen to them bragging, all of them are fooling people.

When Frodo first arrived ten days ago, he was fooled into buying a set of "vehicle spirit sensor".

During the demonstration, that thing was amazing, and everything on the surface of the sky and underground could be seen clearly within a few hundred meters.It was only after I used it that I realized that it was just an illusion.Once the chariot moved its position, nothing could be seen.The goblin actually used the expensive Fei Gong smuggled version of the spirit particle sensor to scan the spirit particle map of the original location of the chariot.

If the goblins hadn't been found again, and the business cards and network logos they had left behind were all fake, Frodo really wanted to take the whole brigade to blow up their lair.

In those few days, everyone was deceived miserably. It is said that Prince Rimaco was killed and expelled these goblin merchants in a rage.Unexpectedly, these goblins bribed the base guards and sneaked in to sell.

No...look at that flying file flag, how sneaky it is!
Goblins are still yelling...

"If you don't buy it, someone else will, think about the consequences of that?"

"On the battlefield, you are not afraid of not being able to outrun the enemy, but you are afraid that you cannot outrun your teammates!"

The old halfling seemed to know the two goblins, and greeted them with a smile: "Mohamona, Dalidaqi, you have to act, otherwise you wouldn't come here to make money without even preparing the project."

Frodo rubbed his chin. The two names... seemed familiar?
The two goblins smiled triumphantly, showing off their intelligence.

"Of course, our boss has already taken over the task of transporting supplies with the floating ship, and we know everything!"

"Prince Rimaco will take you to the Kingdom of Kester first, and now the Kingdom of Kester. You can stay here for a day at most."

It has to be said that the goods sold by the goblins are all pitfalls, but their news is more valuable than the goods.

Frodo's heart trembled, and finally he was going to fight...
