Chapter 314 Necessary Pain and Sacrifice
(Thanks to the book friend Gumeng in the Cloud for the 121 recommendation tickets and Minghuang for the 7300 tip)

Adele, who was awakened by the nightmare, had no intention of going to sleep at this time, and after nearly 12 hours of sleep yesterday, she was no longer so sleepy, but her muscles were a little tired due to the high-intensity maneuvers during the battle.

The healing speed of Extraordinary people is much faster than that of ordinary people. Many muscle strains caused by instant bursts can be healed in just one night.However, perhaps due to the energy required to heal, they tire more easily than normal during this time.

However, it's not insurmountable...

Adele got up from the bed, took off her nightcap, and planned to record the scene in her dream to prevent herself from forgetting.

This kind of thing is entirely possible. As an existence that has been protected by the two quasi-old days, a lot of harmful information will be filtered out invisibly. Adele herself will not even be aware of this filtering process, and will only treat it as Forgot something.

Adele found the candle lightly, lit it with the last match, and recorded it on the paper with the faint light.

She roughly summed up several characteristics of the dream world, including opposing images, repeated faces, overlapping time, and drew a sketch with a pen below.

After outlining the scene with hazy lines, Adele took the notebook away and examined her drawing skills.

"Well, as long as I can understand it myself." Soon, she made a self-aware evaluation.

Anyway, at the Tarot Club, she can directly impart the idea of ​​writing to the illusory pen and paper, no matter what her own painting skills are, the things she draws are lifelike.

Just when Adele was about to put away the notebook in her hand, suddenly there was another knock on the door, which was rapid and violent.

Adele was stunned for a moment, and lightly pinched her thigh to confirm that this was not a dream, but an out-and-out reality.

After a little hesitation, Adele still put the short candle on the brass candlestick, and walked towards the door with the candlestick.

After all, this is the headquarters of the Navy, and there should be no problems with a demigod sitting in charge.

Besides, even if something goes wrong, the brass lamp holder is quite heavy, and it is quite easy to hit people, making it a good secondary weapon.

Adele held the candlestick in one hand, and grabbed the doorknob with the other. At this moment, she immediately sketched out the appearance of the person coming,
The visitor was wearing a crisp white shirt and dark blue suspender trousers, the collar was only half buttoned, looking quite casual.The unique tan skin of the Balam race is particularly soft against the moonlight, and a pair of black eyes flicker, looking quite capable. It is the "Green Finger" Konstantin Iger of the Church of the Mother Earth who met once during the day s.

"Sorry to interrupt your rest, but..."

Adele opened the door, and Constantine immediately took a step into the door, almost standing face to face with Adele, and Adele could almost see the outline of his abdominal muscles from his half-open collar, but he also Taking advantage of the opportunity, he saw Wendy lying on another bed in the house, and his voice suddenly dropped.

"Let's go out and talk."

Adele waved her hand, and Constantine turned around tactfully, asking Adele to change into her pajamas.

Soon, Adele changed out of the cotton nightgown, put on the navy uniform again, put on the cape-like dark blue fur cloak behind her, and gave Constantine a slight push , signaling him to go out first.

"Since I see you now, it must not be good news."

The doors on both sides of the corridor outside the door were not closed, and a gust of drafts blew through the hall. Adele felt a little cold, and tightened her coat tightly again.

"Although I want to deny it, it is true."

Constantine's expression was serious, "The front line has sent a new battle report. Although I haven't seen the specific content, it seems that the situation is not optimistic."

"The army suffered a defeat in the east of the Star Plateau. Because the front line was too long, the angel of the Rose School of thought personally took action and severely damaged the deployment in the middle of the front line. If the new commander on the front line did not decisively order to set fire to the Haggati grassland, Let the people of the Rose School of Thought be forced to fight the fire, and it’s hard to say how much the frontline troops can withdraw.”

"Burn the Haggati Grassland?!" Adele couldn't help but gasped. "How much damage did the Pope of the Rose School cause?!"

"I don't know the specifics, only the hasty last words left by some wounded soldiers on the front line." Constantine said with a complicated expression, "A frontline staff officer said in the last telegram that the map of the Xingxing Plateau will be redrawn."

"Goddess is here..." Adele tapped her chest four times subconsciously, her fingers trembling from fear.

The Haggati Grassland is the largest grassland terrain in the Southern Continent. Its area is equivalent to half of Fusac's. There are a large number of nomads who believe in the Rose School of Thought living there. The thousands of miles deep grassland has always been a headache for Commander Loen. It will lengthen the front line needlessly, without any danger to defend, and completely expose the supply line to the cavalry attack of the princes of the southern continent.

After Loen broke with the Church of Steam and Mechanics, they lost a lot of ordnance support on the battlefield. With the weapons that the troop escorting supplies had, they couldn't fight Balam's eagle cavalry on the plain.If it was really a choice, Loen's commander must have hated this grassland to the core, and should have burned it long ago.

However, due to the influence of Emperor Roselle, the concept of environmental governance and sustainable development has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Casually letting troops burn down the Haggati Grassland will have far more impact than the demonstrations and protests of environmentalists. In serious cases, even The chief minister of the cabinet may be resigned.

After all, the attitudes of the major kingdoms towards the colonies are far from friendly. Similar protests have lasted for hundreds of years. Once looting and destroying the colonies recklessly, it is likely to cause a backlash and turn this attack into a bad battle. Not only There is no oil and water to fish for, and it hurts itself in vain.

Now that the commander actually wants to burn the Haggati Grassland, it can be seen that the battle situation on the front line has become dangerous to a certain extent. Even the "Founder" who accompanied the army, William Augustus, the "Hand of Order" of Sequence 1, couldn't handle it. Lived, had to approve some inhumane means.

Of course, on the surface, the "Founder of the Nation" has long passed away, and the nominal supreme commander of the army is Prince Grove Augustus of Sonia, the "Chaos Hunter" of Sequence 3. These are Emlyn What White told Adele.

And the price for this Sequence [-] angel's personal conquest is that Backlund had no angels at the end of last year, which allowed Matafari to take advantage of the loophole.

——If William Augustus, who is the "Hand of Order", was present, he would be able to establish an order to suppress all demon embryos throughout the entire range in an instant, and it would not be a problem to destroy Matafari's portal.

However, not only did he leave, the Pope of the Church of Evernight and another secret servant guarded the Hornakis Mountains, the head of the monastery, Arianna, went to the southern continent to support under the arrangement of Hermes, and the Pope of the Church of the Storm was located in Pa In Su Island's Abyss of Storms, "Mercury Snake" Will Assedin also went to Disi Bay because he sensed the existence of Ouroreus.

During this month, they were not in Backlund; however, within this month, another disaster broke out, which was more direct and terrifying than the great smog of Backlund, almost turning the extraordinary The essence is directly in front of everyone.

"Serpent of Mercury" Will Ascedin is okay, his anchor is mainly in the life school, in the "Council of Destiny", in the Church of the Fools, Backlund's wavering faith has little effect on him.

But the other angels lost a lot of anchors in this disaster. This is a serious price, and it is very likely to affect their mental state and cause more serious damage.

However, now, taking such a big risk and even paying the price, almost the entire army was defeated by a surprise attack by the "sinister" Siea, and their already scarce humanity was even thinner.

But Siea is different. His rebel army is not organized, and it does not fight head-on with the Loen army. Even if William August wants to retaliate, he cannot massacre the organized troops like Siea , because the Rose School of Thought does not have an organized army at all.

If the situation on the front line continues to be stalemate, sooner or later it will slide in a direction that Ruen does not want, and whether William August, who is forced into that way, will unscrupulously display his personal power in the southern continent, no one can say for sure .

"War is going to get dirty..." Adele sighed, "Although we weren't clean in the first place."

"Why can't those guys be honestly crushed by His Royal Highness Prince Grove?" Constantine also said with emotion, "Of course, this is just my wishful thinking."

"You know, this is their game, and you can't retreat even one step."

Adele said sadly, and walked towards the conference room she had been to once, Constantine followed behind her, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The conference room was almost full at this time, and there were only two seats below Emlyn, which belonged to Constantine and Adele. Tracy sat on the other side of Emlyn, and Adele's The seats are opposite.

"Just now, we received news from the front line."

Emlyn said in a rare and serious tone, "Our army's battle line is too long. Just three hours ago, the central army in the plateau area was attacked by the 'God' Siah, and suffered heavy losses."

"'The Silent One' Mahms summoned his teacher in our army, the 'God' of Sequence 1, with a certain method. The opponent destroyed our barracks with just one blow, and the resulting rift almost The entire star plateau was cut open. Although the 'Founder of the Nation' arrived quickly, he could only slightly injure Si'ah and force him to retreat."

"The price of this defeat is very cruel. If an effective counterattack cannot be organized as soon as possible to regain momentum, the frontline army is likely to be defeated... Considering the psychological trauma caused by the methods of the Rose School of thought to Extraordinary, this is very possible. .”

The Rose School is an evil organization that worships the human body. When casting spells, human limbs are often used to complete bloody rituals. For Extraordinary people on the front line, not only are those rituals dangerous, but the preparation process of the other party will also cause harm to them. A certain amount of psychological trauma.

Therefore, it's okay to win the battle, but once defeated, when the "Hand of Order" has no energy to distract and establish order, it will definitely turn into a big rout. This is something no one wants to see.

"The army has issued a charm made by His Excellency the 'Founder of the Nation' to every senior commander. As soon as Siea appears, he will activate the spell and summon His Excellency the 'Founder of the Nation', so there is no need to worry about the safety here. But if the front line loses, sooner or later we will have to worry about it."

Emlyn glanced at the officers present, and continued, "So, we must cooperate to take action."

"I talked to the person in charge of White Pharmaceuticals. They will provide medical services free of charge to soldiers who have grown strange organs because they looked directly at Sierra. Everyone will return to their posts immediately after the meeting. The logistics base is overloaded, and tonight I will see the first batch of emergency supplies being loaded onto trains and sent to the front line."

Emlyn said without a doubt, "Everyone cancels their vacation, and strive to complete the delivery of all supplies within a week."

Seeing everyone nodding, Emlyn turned his attention to Adele and Tracy.

"Your ship will be refitted soon, get ready, you will set sail tomorrow night and start privateing, sinking all the ships you can see, and condemning all violent actions of the Southern Continent Resistance Army except for large-scale massacres It was approved."

"Don't be merciful, everything is for the victory before Lord 'Founder''s patience is completely exhausted. As long as you think this will help the occupation, there is nothing you can't do. Otherwise, when he does it himself, I'm afraid half of the southern continent will all sink."

Emlyn added another sentence emphatically, as if he was afraid that Adele's thoughts would not be able to change, so he deliberately explained.

Ruen has already paid too much for this war, and all results other than victory are not acceptable, the only difference lies in the way of victory.

Relying on the army and Extraordinary to win is a victory. Relying on the personal might of William Augustus, the founder of the country, to directly wash half of the Southern Continent with blood, and letting Sierra lose its anchor and go crazy and out of control is also a victory, but no one can afford the latter. The price of victory, not even William Augustus himself.

As long as Adele and Tracy can cause damage to the shipping supply lines and coastal cities in the Southern Continent that is enough to dissuade the residents from fighting, as Siea did, then their mission will be considered complete, no matter how cruel the means are. , are acceptable.

Necessary pain and necessary sacrifice...

Adele took a deep breath and gave a military salute to Emlyn.

"Yes, sir!"

Afterwards, she deftly turned over the long table in front of her, and was the first to leave the venue, followed by Tracy.

The dark blue cloak on her body fluttered slightly, as if a storm was brewing.
