The Loren Kingdoms, which are in a state of full-scale war, do not have too much energy to invest in space. There are too many unpredictable risks behind interstellar communication, which requires a long argumentation process. Not to mention that it is likely to involve the impact on the belief system of all mortals and the huge test of the stability of the gods. Although theoretically speaking, the act of simply restoring the interstellar signal is far less stimulating to the gods than manned spacecraft, who can guarantee this "stimulation"?

After all, the work of the Theocratic Council has not stopped over the years. The countries of the Alliance have been using various methods to loosen and cut the spiritual seals that cover the heads of mortals. This cutting process is essentially dancing at the tip of a knife, gradually cutting off the chains between humans and gods by constantly stripping the connection between gods and humans at a dangerous critical point, and constantly jumping left and right on the "disobeying the boundary" without causing the gods to be crazy. When this process is over, both people and gods will be free, but before the process is over... the gods are actually at a "pressure critical point" at all times, and responding to interstellar communications... Can't all be sure of which god with a straightforward personality and a poor mind goes crazy?

So this matter has to be discussed for a long time, at least until the war is settled, and the alliance countries have more energy to control public opinion and organize large-scale expert teams. Before that... what Cecil can do the most is the preparations mentioned by Gao Wen: to write a modern version of the "Alien Dictionary" and translate the signals that have been received.

When this arrangement was over, Gao Wen suddenly raised his head and looked at a holographic projection of the North Grand Duke Victoria, who was appearing above the magic network terminal: "Victoria, have several monitoring stations in the North been operating normally during this period? Have you received a signal there?"

"All monitoring stations in the north are operating as usual. Since the beginning of winter last year, they have received sixteen signals. Although their contents are repetitive, they are occasionally different," Victoria nodded immediately. "We have gradually mastered the characteristics of these signals and can capture them in a more timely and sensitive manner. Some signals that were previously mixed with atmospheric interference and could not be recognized can now be recorded effectively. As long as the 'dictionary' is completed, the deciphering work can begin immediately."

"Well... very good," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then mentioned another thing, "How is the situation of the eldest son?"

He refers to Modir Wilder, the ancient legendary adventurer who has a wonderful experience and is now in a mysterious "critical state of life and death", pursued by Ms. Ye's divine power, and the ancestor of Victoria Wilder. Due to the influence of Ms. Ye's divine power and perhaps also polluted by counter-tides, Modir Wilder is now very unstable. Half of his "existence" is replaced by Ms. Ye's shadow sandstorm, and is in a state of constant collapse and loss. It is relying on the power of the dark night stolen by Amber to barely maintain stability in the material world. Now he is living in Winter Fortress and accepting the care of Victoria, the "descendant".

Currently, the three great consuls of the empire, Grand Duke Bedevin Wilder, are personally leading troops to the war. Hetty's energy is devoted to daily government affairs. Victoria's main responsibility is to ensure the empire's industrial supply and military delivery to the frontlines. In addition, most of the energy of this northern duchess is devoted to his ancestor. Modir Wilder's special experience and the mysterious connection between him and Ms. Ye have always been something that Gao Wen is very concerned about.

"The ancestor is in good condition. After receiving good rest and proper mental spells, his mental state has stabilized a lot, and there has not been a sudden dream in the dark night in recent times," Victoria nodded. "But he can still feel a distant 'call' from time to time, even in normal dreams... he often 'heard' the voice of Ms. Ye or 'Wilder'. I think that unless we can solve the divine powers chasing him from the source and find the 'other half' that he was split out, this situation may continue forever."

Gao Wen looked up at Amber and spoke in a deep voice: "... At present, we still cannot locate Ms. Ye's Kingdom of God. It is not in the sentry's cruise path, but Amber has been studying the shadow sandstorm for a while, trying to find a way to establish a connection with Ms. Ye. There is no other good way to do this. Wait a little longer, there will be good news."

Victoria's expression did not change much, she lowered her head slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Wen took a light breath, looked up at the figures in the conference room, and coughed lightly: "Then next..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "clang" sound suddenly coming from the side. Veronica's platinum scepter in his hand suddenly snatched the conference table. The sudden noise scared the people next to him. Gao Wen subconsciously wanted to ask about the situation, but saw Veronica's expression instantly become extremely silly. The gentle smile and eyes on weekdays had disappeared at some point. This scene was so strange that Gao Wen actually felt that the other party's soul had been pulled away from this body. The next second, he heard a calm and hard voice like a machine coming from Veronica's mouth:

"...The first defense circle was damaged, and it was confirmed that it had faced a frontal attack... The self-repair function was activated, the barrier was transferred to combat mode, the command module was online... The core barrier was rising, the energy was turning to combat unit... Computing resources were being allocated to lift all weapon restrictions..."

After the calm and hard voice ended, Veronica blinked her eyes, and her body shook slightly as if she suddenly woke up. The holy light that had disappeared from her before slowly floated again. Gao Wen felt that the other party's "human" side was back, so he immediately asked: "What's the situation?"

Although he asked this, he had a vague guess in his mind, and Veronica's next answer confirmed his bad guess: "A minute ago, the outer defense belt of the Deep Blue Well was attacked, and my escort troops were fighting against the enemy."

"The Deep Blue Well...the Wasteland Center?" Amber, who was sitting on Gao Wen's right, suddenly widened his eyes, "Wait a minute, those dark priests will start attacking the Deep Blue Well!? Didn't they say they wouldn't easily bite the hardest bone? Why did they go crazy with a scream?! There is an imperial capital defense circle and a fully organized Iron Man Corps there!"

Gao Wen was also surprised, but he was more concerned about the situation on Veronica/Ophelia at this time than the reasons behind the sudden action of the dark priests: "How is the battle? How is the damage?"

"The central fortress was built on the basis of the doomsday shelter in the old imperial capital. It has extremely strong protection capabilities and has seven layers of defense circles from the outside to the inside. At present, only the outermost defense circle is moderately damaged by violent bombing. The repair system has been activated and the damage is within an acceptable range." Veronica's tone was quiet, but the expression on her face was already a little serious. "But the enemy's attack is very fierce. At present, energy reactions appear in all directions within my perception range. Moreover... the front-line reconnaissance unit has seen new individuals that have never appeared in the enemy, as well as some extremely large-scale... structure."

While speaking, Veronica held the platinum scepter in her hand tightly, and her tone became very serious: "Due to the scope of activity, I cannot sense the boundaries of the enemy's positions, nor can I determine how many troops they have gathering in the distance. Only from the current calculation results, if the enemy continues to maintain this intensity of attack, the Deep Blue Well may be broken within a month."

The Deep Blue Well is likely to be broken!

This sentence hit the conference room, making everyone's face tighten in an instant. Only Gao Wen. After the initial surprise, his expression had completely calmed down, and he just spoke softly: "It's true that it's here..."

The attack on the Deep Blue Well was an emergency, but in fact Gao Wen was not surprised by this. From the very beginning, he knew that the Wasteland Legion could turn around to attack the Deep Blue Well when the existing goals could not be achieved. After all, the ultimate goal of the dark priests was to place runes stones and "domesticize" the planet. If they could not break through the defense line of the civilized world, they could only turn their target to the largest Deep Blue Rift in the center of the Wasteland. In other words, as long as the alliance's advantages on other fronts continue to accumulate, and the progress of counterattacking the Wasteland and building blocking walls continues, it will be a matter of time before the Wasteland Legion attacks the Deep Blue Well in despair.

"Don't forget the previous deductions of the staff, those dark priests will sooner or later attack the Deep Blue Well," Gao Wen's voice sounded in the conference room. The steady and quiet voice calmed everyone's slightly nervous mood. "Their attack on the civilized world has been defeated by the entire line. At present, all the wasteland legions have been pushed to the depths of the wasteland, and the alliance's purification device is still spreading rapidly towards the heart of the wasteland. Those dark priests have no choice. They choose to attack the Deep Blue Well at this time, which may be a good phenomenon in my opinion."

"Is this a good phenomenon?" Amber next to him suddenly widened his eyes, "Veronica is getting beaten!"

"I don't, the battle situation is still there..." Veronica opened her mouth subconsciously, but she swallowed it back halfway through her words. She couldn't hold back her face and debated this stupid thing on such occasions, "You're right."

Amber, a creature that is hidden in the daytime and has a bad habit, is the natural enemy of ancient souls. Any creature with shame will not be able to exert all its strength in front of her. The more shameful it is, the more obvious the impact it is.

Gao Wen was no longer surprised by this. He glanced at Amber, who was staring at her eyes and said casually: "Veronica's base has very strong defense capabilities, and there is a fully organized Iron Man Corps in charge. The difficulty of attacking there can be imagined. In our previous deductions, it was also confirmed that unless it was the most unavoidable time, those dark priests would never choose to chew this hard bone. Even if they could fight with the Alliance Legion, they would not cause trouble for the Iron Man Corps. But now they chose to attack the Deep Blue Well, which means that they have reached the end of their lives and are in desperate situations faster than we imagined. This is a good thing."

He said, slowly standing up, holding his hands on the edge of the conference table, his tone was gentle and powerful.

"Attacking the Deep Blue Well will be the last and worst choice that the Wasteland Legion can make. After that, the Dark Priests have all their cards. Now the Alliance's blocking wall in four directions has advanced to the hinterland of the Old Gondor Empire. The Wasteland Legion has not much depth to consume with us. Moreover, if they want to attack the Deep Blue Well, they will have to invest a lot of energy and troops, which is destined to be more weak in the battlefield facing the Alliance than before, and the Alliance's army will advance smoother than before.

"Send the news to the leaders of the alliance line immediately. The final decisive battle is approaching. Tell our allies to take out everything in the box, use all their strength to spread the blocking walls, and use absolute superior forces to kill those monsters in the scorched earth of the Old Gondor Empire. The life and death of the civilized world will be known in the next month.

"We must let the blocking wall close before the fall of the Deep Blue Well and completely disintegrate the Wasteland Legion!"

Gao Wen's calm and powerful voice seemed to carry endless inspiration, which made everyone's slightly suppressed state of mind replenished confidence and fighting spirit. What's more, none of the figures that could appear here were mediocre people. After judging the situation, everyone knew what they should do. The matters discussed and decided in the previous meeting were quickly fine-tuned. Some less important matters could be slightly delayed. In the next time, the Cecil Empire and the entire alliance would pour all their strength into this war.

One by one, one figure stood up and left the conference room, and the holographic projections gradually dissipated in the air. When several clerks from the Supreme Government Affairs Office also left, only Gao Wen and Amber were left in the huge room, as well as Veronica, who was surrounded by a faint holy light.

The three of them walked at the end.

The attendants and guards were waiting outside the door.

Gao Wen stood up from the chair and let out a gentle breath. Amber approached from the side and looked up at him: "The situation is not that optimistic, right?"

"The situation is not bad. The dawn of victory is indeed in front of everyone's eyes, but the darkness before the dawn is indeed fatal," Gao Wen knew that this guy's keen perception and unreliable appearance actually hides a very keen heart, and he didn't hide anything at this moment. "Even if we have a 99% chance of victory, that one percent failure means the consequences of the ecological extinction level of the planet. In fact, everyone can think of this... But we can only not think about the possibility of 'in case I didn't win' first."

"...Okay, I think so," Amber exhaled, his figure began to slowly fade in the air, and at the same time waved his hand, "I'm going to go and have a busy day, the leisure time is over..."

Gao Wen watched Amber's figure slowly disappear into the air, and couldn't help but shake his head: "...You haven't had a leisure time for a long time."

Then he was silent for two seconds, looked up at Veronica and said, "You can really hold on for a month, right?"

"This is the result of an accurate calculation, and there will be no more variables within the foreseeable deviation," Veronica said calmly, "I will stick to your arrival."

"...This feeling is so strange," Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh a little, "You are clearly standing in front of me..."

"Yes, I stand in front of you, but I am trapped in the deepest part of the wasteland, which often makes me feel cognitively divided," Veronica said softly and calmly, "Occasionally, when I wake up in this body, I am also affected by the body itself, and I am so happy with the sunshine and breeze outside the window that I forget the pollution and corruption in the wasteland."

"...Polition and corruption are about to end." After a moment of silence, Gao Wen said slowly.
Chapter completed!
