Chapter 211: Five-star combat readiness
Perhaps because the Sun's divine power has the authority to judge in Raphaeltar, Chara has always liked balance.
For example, the original integration of the Lord of the Rings World brought a large number of casualties and economic losses to Britania, and Charia used a world as compensation.
Of course, it is their own choice for Britania to choose to cooperate with countries around the world, and Charia will not interfere with this.
And this time, the same was true. Baiyue fell to Beichen because of his idea, and the flood flooded a large number of shops. Among them, there were many people drowned due to accidents. Beichen would compensate those losses.
So Xia Ya also compensated Beichen Yilong, and the same was true for the Moon. Letting him stay in this world to learn the science that is most suitable for him was also the compensation that he "cooperated with" their performance and was smashed by the sword energy countless times under millions of sword immortals.
Born as a god, Shaya has long viewed this world from a different perspective than that of humans. He also respects life, but death is also part of life and death, and the cycle of life and death is endless. This is the perfect principle and the law of the world.
However, he is still using his own ideas to keep himself a little "humanity".
...
At about three o'clock the next morning, Beichen held a large meeting overnight.
In a large conference room in Beidou City, a group of old men over fifty years old sat around, unified in a simple and serious black long gown, serious and quaint, with a bright black dragon pattern on it, which was the symbol of the Beichen Cabinet...
If you throw a grenade in Beichen at this time, you will collapse half of it in an instant...
Even though it was late at night, it was of great importance. Many people were woken up while sleeping deeply and were taken here by a special car.
Under the huge projection screen, Nie Xingwen stood underneath with his body tense and looked very nervous.
The conference room was already quarreling at this time, and the topic they were talking about was the news brought by Xia Ya.
An old man wearing square glasses sat quietly in the main seat, with his elbows on the table, his palms crossed his chin, and his eyes were serious about the quarrels, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Although the old man is over 60 years old this year, he looks like he is in his fifties, full of energy and will be powerful without anger.
Time seems to have left no trace on him...
"Zhengwen, how much do you know about this existence?"
Nie Xingwen thought for a moment and shook his head, "I talked to Him for no more than ten minutes. Apart from feeling that His personality is very approachable, I have almost no understanding, but... I have a speculation without evidence."
"Oh? Guess?" The old man showed interest on his face, "Tell me."
Nie Xingwen nodded, aimed the remote control in his hand at the projection screen and pressed it.
Photos of the dragon floating in Tianquan City and the young Shi Jieren suddenly appeared on the screen.
"The Qinglong, also known as the Water Warcraft, is one of the culprits of the flood in Tianquan City. It is the supernatural power that we Beichen can contact and have a certain degree of subjective driving. The specific combat power is unknown, but it is immortal. It should not be a problem to destroy a city. Now it is sleeping in the Alxa Desert..."
"Is it equivalent to a nuclear bomb?" The old man thought, "and he did not have the scruples of nuclear bombs, and he was more powerful strategic-level weapons."
"But if you can't master it, letting such an existence stay in Beichen Kingdom will always be a hidden danger." A middle-aged man spoke.
"That's a dragon! How could it be unfavorable to me, Beichen?" Another old man said dissatisfiedly.
"You are too naive. Legends are legends after all, not to mention that the legendary dragons are not only good dragons, but also evil dragons."
"The evil people are all dragons! This dragon has horns and five claws, and is a divine dragon! Only the dragon that has attained enlightenment can turn into a divine dragon, and this dragon is Qinglong, one of the four sacred beasts in my Beichen!"
The middle-aged man almost wanted to refute the old man's superstition without thinking, but suddenly he remembered... The existence of this dragon itself is the best refutation of what he wanted to say...
Seeing that the two seemed to be quarreling, the old man coughed lightly, and it suddenly became quiet, which showed the old man's majesty.
"Okay, you continue to say, "Wenwen, for this dragon, how sure is it that will always be on our side."
"This is about this person." Nie Xingwen pointed to the Moon, "The Moon Master, also known as Shi Jieren, is the "brain" of Qinglong. Without him, Qinglong is just a monster without wisdom and only instinct, and is also one of the culprits of the flood in Tianquan City.
However, after being enlightened by that existence, he has turned back to the right. Now he is studying in Beidou University, has a good relationship with me, and is willing to obey our words and manipulate Qinglong, and is willing to monitor him for a period of time."
"What kind of person do you think is this guy named Shi Jieren? Reliable?" the old man asked.
Nie Xingwen pondered for a moment, "I borrowed a virtual helmet to go to the game world to learn more about the Moon-Worshiping Master..."
Before this, they had discussed the game "Immortal Bird Company" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Combined with the information I learned from the Moon before, the conclusions drawn were actually similar to those of Nie Xingwen and others before.
What is certain is that there is indeed a different world called "Legend of Sword and Fairy", similar to the World of the Rings. Moreover, judging from their cultural style, it is very likely that they have a great connection with Beichen, and perhaps it represents the supernatural force that may be hidden in Beichen Kingdom... "Immortal".
Because that world is a world full of "immortals" elements, even if they were unable to find the existence of "immortals" for so long, perhaps because they moved to the world of "immortals" very early.
The characters in that world, such as Fuxi and Nuwa, who also existed in the legend of Beichen, further confirmed this speculation.
The only thing they can understand about that world is the game Legend of Sword and Fairy - according to Bai Yue, almost 99% of the plots in this game are real.
The purpose may be to give a reminder to the people of Beichen. According to Nie Xingwen's understanding of the "God", He does not seem to be able to do such things, so it is very likely that they are those mysterious "Immortals".
At that time, Nie Xingwen had this kind of guess in his mind, and Xia Ya's words also confirmed this.
Nie Xingwen's words continue.
"...He is a genius and has a common problem with genius, that is, he is prone to getting into a stubborn and going on a wrong path, but in essence, he is not a bad person, and he was even kind before the earliest."
"Okay, I believe in your judgment, writing, then... what does this Qinglong and the Moon worship have to do with that existence?" The old man spoke and brought the topic back on track.
Nie Xingwen nodded, "For the Shenlong, our past impression was just a kind of creature that existed in the fantasy of the ancient Beichen people, a spirit and totem. It was something that Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Beichen people, created by defeating the other tribes by combining the totems of those tribes.
But this divine dragon confirmed one thing: the dragon really exists, and it is very likely that it has really guided and protected our civilization for a period of time, so we regard ourselves as the descendants of the dragon."
Everyone nodded, all bowed their heads and thought...
"But this is with that one..."
"You listen to me first." Nie Xingwen said seriously: "After that person left, Shi Jieren once asked me what that person was. At that time, my answer was: He is the only god who created all things. If it is metaphorical, it is equivalent to Pangu in their world. But this sentence made my mind flash and I thought of a guess."
"What?"
"The green dragon, or the water monster, is part of Pangu." Nie Xingwen's eyes flashed with excitement. "If this is just a coincidence, but the reason why this water monster showed the true body of the blue dragon is because the power of existence affects this? Is this a coincidence?"
The old man's pupils shrank slightly, "You mean... Pangu in the Immortal Sword World is that he created the Immortal Sword World. If we reverse the logic, our legendary Pangu might be him."
"That's right." Nie Xingwen said: "And the most critical point is that according to this logical connection, the divine dragon that guides our ancient Beichen civilization is likely to be part of Him. If this guess is correct... this means."
"The ancient Beichen civilization is closely related to Him." Another old man took over Nie Xingwen's words.
Nie Xingwen nodded: "This may explain why the "balance" he gave us is a dragon, and Britania is just a gold coin that is unknown and can only be used once. Compared with that gold coin, this dragon can undoubtedly ensure that I am safe in Beichen Mountains and Rivers."
"Because...He has a deeper relationship with us." The old man murmured softly, he was silent, groping his fingers, and after a moment he continued.
"Xingwen, do you think the news he said is true or false?"
Nie Xingwen took a deep breath, "Based on the information we received from Britania, what we can already determine is that there is indeed a different world called "Abyss" that is about to invade our world.
This world is different from Arda (the world of the Rings), and the creatures inside are stronger and more cruel. Ten thousand years ago, our human ancestors had a long war on the realm, and in the end, the ancestors successfully fought them back."
"So this time it's their revenge on us, right?"
A relatively calm and flat-headed old man in a suit said slowly.
"Not revenge." Nie Xingwen said: "I have seen images of creatures from that world. They are cruel, terrible, and bloodthirsty. They will not be able to communicate like those in the Moon and the Arda world. Revenge does not exist in their minds. They are purely killing for the sake of killing, invading for the sake of invasion."
"Is it pure evil..." The old man thought...
"What are you waiting for! Now I will recall all veterans and start war preparations as soon as possible." A middle-aged man with a hot temper said, with iron blood between his eyebrows and eyes, and he seemed to have been a soldier.
"Are you crazy?! The movement is so big that the whole Beichen will be in chaos." A middle-aged man couldn't help but scold.
"How can I deal with the invasion if I don't prepare early??"
"Who knows if it is true? What if it is not? Maintaining stability is what I should do now!"
"alright."
Looking at the meeting room that was gradually becoming noisy, the old man scolded unhappily.
"Everyone, we don't have so much time to hesitate. This is not only a disaster in Beichen, but also a global disaster. Compared to the sudden surprise, we caught off guard.
We have had two more months of preparation time, which is extremely lucky and cannot be wasted."
The old man said calmly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Whether this disaster really exists can only be proved by time. What we need to do is to make all the preparations we can do before this disaster is proven. Life is above everything else. What we need to do now is not to maintain stability, but to make every effort to ensure that life is not harmed."
The old man's words were sonorous and powerful, hitting everyone's heart.
"From now on, start the five-star combat readiness state and make every effort to produce guns and ammunition. Don't let my soldiers lack guns and ammunition on the day of real battle. Let them build fortifications in the shortest time, ask the bank to print coins with all their might, don't care about inflation, buy supplies and build defensive facilities."
Five-star combat readiness means that the situation is extremely tense. When the war situation against Beichen is very obvious, the troops are in combat readiness. Beichen is divided into five combat readiness stages, while five-star combat readiness only occurs during major battles, and has only appeared six times so far.
Enter the mobilization of combat readiness in the war; the combat readiness duty personnel are on duty day and night; the radio command network listens at full time to ensure uninterrupted command; use various reconnaissance methods to closely monitor the enemy's movements; carry out emergency expansion, combat readiness reserve teams and military district combat readiness duty units, and are fully staffed according to the wartime period.
The required equipment shall be given priority to the supplementary capacity; complete the position allocation; implement various guarantees; evacuation of military personnel, weapons and equipment shall be concealed and disguised; left-behind institutions shall organize personnel to evacuate to the designated areas; improve the action plan and complete all preparations for the war, and the troops shall be on standby; stop all vacations, stop all demobilization and retired personnel.
Entering this combat readiness stage means that the Beichen, the national machine, officially began to operate at high speed...
"yes"
Everyone nodded solemnly.
...
"Why, is that..."
The middle-aged man said with a little worry, at this time, the most difficult problem for ordinary people is to solve. There are too many people in Beichen, and it is far more difficult to manage than other countries...
The old man was silent for a moment.
"Beichen cannot collapse now. Once the five-star combat preparations are activated, people in the world of Beichen will be panic and anxious, but we don't need to be so anxious to respond. If we come out to "dispel the rumors", then when the lies are broken, they will only lose trust.
If you explain it, it will only add to panic in vain. The best way is to deal with it coldly, let things develop themselves, and wait until everything is ready before you announce that they can hoard supplies in the last few weeks. Two months will be fleeting..."
