Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 351 Really?I do not believe

The war came silently and ended silently.

The airship troop of the Feysac Empire managed to fly over Backlund like a secret, but left in a hurry after dropping two bombs.

The power of the night enveloped the entire world in an instant, and plunged the whole world into lightless darkness at the same time.

Regarding this behavior of the Goddess of the Night, the other six gods of the Church of the Seven Gods did not take any action to stop it, even the God of War was no exception.Although He and the Goddess of the Night are hostile to each other, they also distinguish between priorities.

Just like in the Fourth Epoch, the Seven Gods who were originally hostile to each other united to seal the true Creator.

When facing a common and threatening enemy, they can temporarily put aside their prejudices and join hands to fight the enemy.

And in the matter of fighting against the starry sky, the priority is even higher than the real creator.Just like the time when Mr. 'Gate' returned, the Seven Gods also let go of their prejudices and jointly fought against the pollution that invaded the world.

What's more, what the goddess has done is also a good thing for the other six gods.

The power of the night cuts off the pollution from the starry sky, which not only shelters the believers of the night, but also protects the believers of the other six gods.

For Liushen, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Any god needs a large number of believers as 'anchor' to stabilize its own humanity, and once the believers suffer from large-scale pollution, not only their 'anchor' will be destroyed, but their beliefs will be polluted unconsciously, even They themselves are likely to be polluted by the starry sky because of the pollution of their beliefs.

In this matter, the interests of the Six Gods are highly consistent.

But although the dark night cuts off most of the pollution of the starry sky, it can't stop the light released by the bright Milky Way—the seemingly gorgeous light hides unimaginable darkness.

The only good thing is that this darkness has not spread to the whole world, but is only limited to Baekeland.

Under the protection of the night, the believers fell into a deep sleep collectively, and the power of deep sleep and tranquility protected them so that they would not be overwhelmed by fear.

When the night dissipated, the Milky Way running through the sky had disappeared, and the bright red moon and the cold blue moon had disappeared.

Only the sun, which symbolizes the 'eternal blazing sun', hangs high in the sky and shines on the world.

Its daybreak.
-
Backlund, Queens District, in Hall's luxurious villa.

Mrs. Caitlin directed the awakened servants to restore everything in the villa to the original state, so as not to embarrass the Hall family.

Audrey had just called the golden retriever Susie and the maid Anne, and was about to go to the Kingdom Council to confirm the safety of her father and brothers, when she saw her father Earl Hall and Hibbert coming in from the main entrance.

Earl Hall looked at his intact wife and daughter, and heaved a sigh of relief:

"Thank God, it's good that you are all right!"

Audrey scanned around and asked with some concern:
"Dad, isn't Alfred with you?"

Hibbert said in relief:

"Don't worry, Alfred is fine."

Earl Hall was obviously much calmer, and said in a deep voice:
"Alfred has just been recruited by the Ministry of Defense. He has already rushed to the front line with Admiral Amyrius. Part of the work of the Ministry of Defense will also be handled by the cabinet."

Audrey remained silent, she was not surprised by this result.

As one of the few demigods in the Loen Kingdom, Alfred has been staying in Backlund for a 'vacation'. It is normal for Alfred to be recruited by the Ministry of Defense at a critical juncture of the war. She only hopes that the other party will not show up on the battlefield. What an accident.

Audrey suppressed the worries in her heart and asked softly:
"Dad, what's the situation now?"

Upon hearing this, Earl Hall said with a slightly gloomy expression:

"While the Feysac airship formation was attacking Backlund, their Sunya Sea fleet took advantage of the thick fog to attack the Royal Navy base on Oak Island in Pritz Harbor and the shipyards in the surrounding area. Thankfully Surprisingly, the Church of the Storm was warned in advance and sent a telegram in advance, Pritz Harbor was not lost, but a lot of ships and factories were lost, and many people died..."

"The front lines of Cold Winter County and Jianhai County also sent telegrams. The Feysacs launched a large-scale attack on these two sides at the same time. Alfred received the order this time to go to Jianhai County to help stabilize the defense line. ..."

Earl Hall's words were very vague, but Audrey had already keenly realized from just a few words that the situation on the front line must not be optimistic.Backlund didn't suffer too much loss because an angel intervened, forcing the airship troops of the Feysac Empire to withdraw early.

But it is not accurate to say that the scale of this local war is small-because the actions of this angel probably triggered a war of gods, and the frozen dusk and night are the best proof.

In comparison, the offensive in the frontline area will undoubtedly be more violent, but it is far less important than the battle of gods that broke out in Backlund.

Of course, if we look at it purely from the perspective of mortal warfare.Since the Feysacs have been able to bomb Backlund, it is enough to prove that they have planned for a long time.The pressures of war on the front lines can only be greater than here.

In the same way, if the situation on the front line is good, then Earl Hall would not use such vague and ambiguous adjectives as 'a lot of ships and factories were lost' or 'a lot of people died'.And if the situation in Jianhai County and Cold Winter County is still stable, how could they urgently mobilize Admiral Alfred and Amyrius to the front line for support?

It is conceivable that the situation in the defense line of the Amanda Mountains and the major cities along the inter-sea coast is very bad. Maybe some defense lines and even cities have already fallen.The reason why it is kept secret is also to avoid causing panic and causing greater confusion.

But no matter what, the Loen Kingdom will not just sit and wait for death, and a full-scale war is inevitable.

While speaking, Earl Hall had come to the living room, hugged each other with his wife, and comforted each other.

Hibbert said in a deep voice:

"Audrey, Mom, I suggest you move to a manor in the suburbs, it might be safer there."

Earl Hall shook his head when he heard the eldest son's suggestion:
"No, there is no need for this. This war is destined to last for a long time, but the bombing of Backlund is just an accident. Unless the situation on the front lines of Jianhai County and Winter County completely collapses, the Feysacs will definitely not With a second chance to bomb Backlund, staying in Queens is far safer than manors in the suburbs."

He could understand the concerns of the eldest son, but he saw it more clearly than Hibbert.

The war machine of the Loen Kingdom has already started to operate, and they will not give Fusac's airship troop another chance.So Backlund is actually far less dangerous than ordinary people imagined, and it is still the safest place in the entire Loen Kingdom.And those who are in a hurry to move to the suburban manor, or even leave Backlund, are the ones who really can't see the situation clearly.

Because although Feysac's airship will not come a second time, the chaotic situation has already been caused, and the chaos will continue for a long time to come.

And in this chaos, it is hard to guarantee that some desperadoes will not rob those manors in the suburbs.And if he really moved to a manor in the suburbs, there was an inevitable danger of being targeted by these desperadoes.

Audrey was also silent, she could actually understand the inevitability of this war.From a national level, the Loen Kingdom and the Feysac Empire are feuds, and the top leaders of the two countries almost always think about launching a war to destroy each other.

As far as the Kingdom of Loen is concerned, even if the Feysacs don't launch this raid, they will declare war on the Feysacs sooner or later—

The hatred of the key territory of Sonia Island being taken away...the entanglement of colonial interests...the failure of previous wars...the economic downturn caused by pollution control...Since the abolition of the "Corn Law", domestic farmers have been affected by foreign grain products. A large number of bankruptcies... the extremely bad living conditions of the people at the bottom... the widening gap between the rich and the poor...

The middle class are blindly confident in Loen's national power, eager to have the opportunity to improve their status... The conflicts between different political parties in the upper class have intensified, tearing each other apart... Most importantly, almost all the upper classes, including the prime minister and the king, are eager to Hoping for a large-scale war, even Earl Hall would not hide his positive view on war at home... With so many factors added up, it is almost inevitable for Loen to export wars based on objective conditions alone. of.

But now it's just the other way around, with the Feysacs taking the lead.

The reason for this is that for the Feysac Empire, there are also many internal factors that stimulate war and desire war.

But being able to understand the inevitability of war does not mean that Audrey can convince herself to accept it with peace of mind.

She now only hopes that the war will end as soon as possible and the people will no longer suffer.

But she also knew in her heart that this was impractical.

Once the gears of war start turning, it is almost impossible to stop them unless the gears are too bad to turn.

What they are facing is a country, not a certain person!The war will continue for a long time before the country is completely destroyed.

"Is there any way to end the war quickly?"

Audrey returned to the room with an obvious confused look on her face, and she was a little depressed, because she was powerless to change the situation, and she couldn't think of any way to change the situation.She was a demigod, and she might be able to help the Loen Kingdom's army to turn defeat into victory in some areas on the battlefield, but it was almost impossible to end the entire war.

Susie's worried voice rang in Audrey's ears:

"Audrey, are you okay?"

Audrey looked at the big golden retriever squatting obediently beside him with human eyes, and said softly:

"I am fine."

"It's best that you're really fine." The clear and clear female teasing voice sounded in the girl's ear.

Audrey subconsciously looked at the bed. Carula, who was wearing a long black dress, was standing in front of the window, watching her with a smile.

"You're back?"

Audrey showed some surprise, but then hesitantly asked:
"It was the angel who led away the Feysac airship troops before, is that you?"

Carula sat on the edge of the bed and said easily:
"It's not me, but you should know that person."

Audrey asked subconsciously:

"Who?"

Carula said with deep meaning:

"'The Fool'."

"'The Fool'?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Audrey's mind, and she immediately asked:

"Did the angels sent by the Fool stop the Feysac airship troops?"

Carula did not explain in detail, but said with a smile:

"That's understandable."

"Although I also participated in it, I didn't play a decisive role. It can even be said that it didn't play a role at all."

Carula let out a light 'tsk', obviously a little displeased with her failure.

"That's it."

Audrey whispered, she didn't ask what happened to Carula.Because since Carula didn't say it clearly, it means that there probably is a secret in it that she shouldn't know - Audrey has only become a Beyonder for less than a year, but her experience is higher than most Beyonders, so She knew that some 'secrets' were poisonous, and that the mere knowledge of them was dangerous.

Like Adam, like the Twilight Hermits.

So instead of asking, she moves on to another question.

Carula suddenly asked:
"What are you thinking?"

Audrey hesitated for a moment, then said softly:
"I wonder when the war will end."

Carula asked with great interest:

"How long do you think the war will last?"

Audrey thought about it carefully, and answered with consideration:
"Without the participation of the Fenepot Kingdom and the Republic of Intis, the war between Loen and Feysac might have lasted for more than a year, or even longer. Perhaps before one of the parties exhausted their last soldiers, This war will never end."

While talking, Audrey observed Carula's expression and wanted to ask her what she thought.

As for Carula's opinion of Audrey, she just smiled and said:
"A little bit of truth, but not much."

"Why?" Audrey asked instinctively.

Carla asked:

"What do you think is the essence of war? Or, what are the two sides pursuing?"

Audrey thought for a long time before replying:
"Benefit."

The Loen Kingdom is eager to divert domestic conflicts through war, and also hopes to retake Sonia Island. The nobles are eager to gain military merits through war, and then get promoted to the title. It is for profit.

The same is true for the Feysac Empire. They are eager to go south to occupy the fertile Loen Kingdom, hoping to obtain more seaports, the nobles are eager to be promoted, and the middle class are eager to be among the upper class... To put it bluntly, almost any class is for profit .

Carula smiled and shook her head, saying:
"Yes, and neither."

"War is just a manifestation of conflict of interests. When interests are distributed unevenly, war becomes a necessary means to safeguard interests."

"But the question is, who is the owner of the Kingdom of Loen? Or, is this war for profit?"

Carula leaned forward and asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Kalu stretched her waist and lazily said:

"How is your potion digested? When are you going to be promoted to Sequence 2?"

"So fast?"

Audrey was a little surprised, but immediately hesitated and nervous:
"Is it really possible?"

Her promotion speed is not satisfactory, but without the help of Kalula, she is now only a 'dream walker' of Sequence 5 at most.

But Kalula paved the way for her all the way, and even helped her prepare for the Extraordinary characteristics and promotion ceremony of Sequence 2, so that she can become a Sequence 2 'insighter' only after the potion is completely digested.

This help was too heavy, and she didn't know how to repay it.

"do not worry."

Carula saw what the girl was hesitating, and said meaningfully:
"I have my reasons for helping you, and you will be able to give me enough compensation sooner or later."
