Above The Sky

"You killed the escort survivor. Even for the sake of safety, it was too rude. At least you should ask me about the situation first, and maybe you will get more information."

Yam's accusation is quite bitter and merciless: "If he can take us to the 'holy place' he escaped from, maybe we have achieved our goal a few years ago, and we don't have to fight the natives now. In a muddled battle, so many well-bred good guys died."

"It was indeed my fault."

After being silent for a while, Viscount Grant waved his hand a little tiredly: "I know what you mean by saying this, so that I should not be impulsive and let the natives realize that we already know the existence of their true Holy Land...but it may be too late."

He shook his head and said: "Maureen, the guy who was lucky enough to run back from the big storm. He is a devout believer of Huaiguang - he said that he would inform the bishop of the indigenous holy places he found, and then dispatched together to destroy the vicious A spooky place of traps and altars of adultery."

"I didn't want to kill him at first, and even planned to reward him later, but when I ordered him to keep his mouth shut and I was going to let you come over and put him under house arrest, this guy actually wanted to run away..."

When he said this, the Viscount said with a 'tsk': "Rough? I even think I'm very talkative! Can't he see that this is not something he can participate in at all?"

"You think I don't want to save those possible Guard survivors? They're all knights I nurtured! All young guys I've watched grow up!"

It was only then that Viscount Grant's tired tone could tell that he was an elderly person who was close to sixty years old: "But if the Huaiguang Church and even the emperor know about this... Father's instructions, the late emperor My mission, my family's mission, and my dream... nothing will be left..."

"But sir, you can still leave him alive..."

Yam didn't really want to accuse his lord, he just reminded Viscount Grant to stop being impulsive: "The bishop seems to already know something, it's really not good, we may also be able to cooperate with him 'himself'."

The knight emphasized the word 'in person', obviously wanting to leave the Huaiguang Church aside and cooperate with the bishop personally.

"Yam, it's not that simple."

Grant reluctantly said: "Unlike the Spiritual Tool Church, the Ghost Religion Group is different from the Wanling Temple. The clergy on Huaiguang's side will never betray the Church."

"Their psychic power comes from their belief in the 'Light of the Light' and their 'confidence' in the 'Proverbs'. They will never lie, they are absolutely impartial, they are absolutely selfless, and they absolutely keep their creeds."

"But because of that, they can never be 'our people'."

"This is troublesome."

Knowing the strictness of this kind of psionic energy, Yam frowned: "It seems that it can only be postponed."

"Yes, postpone the plan."

Closing his eyes and sitting back in his seat, Viscount Grant fell into memory.

Since the Dark Moon turmoil more than 20 years ago, the original ZTE empire has been on the verge of civil unrest.

But when the late emperor Inaga II died, the crown prince died, two princes, a duke, God knows how many noble knights and high-level sublime people returned to the sea of ​​​​underworld.

The current emperor Axel, the Earth Keeper, with the support of the Eastern Territory Cavalry, defeated several of his brothers and sisters and ascended the throne.

He stabilized the situation in a very short period of time and reorganized the core of the military and politics, so that even if the empire suffered such a big change, he did not lose even a piece of land under the peeping of any foreign enemy.

But the national strength of the empire cannot be unaffected.

When the late emperor was in power, he carried out great construction projects, and at the same time sent a large number of development immigrant groups in the southwest and northeast directions... Although this was labor-intensive, it was also the first time that the empire had opened up new territories since the third Dark Mountain turmoil.

Port Harrison, which is located at the very edge of the southern border, is one of them, and it shoulders its important tasks.

"The Great Relics of the South China Sea..."

The Viscount murmured.

The Grant family was the confidant of the late emperor and shouldered a secret mission to open up the southern border. At the same time as the construction of the remote port development port, the preliminary preparation work should also be done for the future development of the relics.

This is a long-term task of more than 30 years, but it is not too difficult, because with the secret support of the emperor, the most difficult early accumulation can be skipped directly.

But no one could have imagined that, just as the sky was in the middle of the day, Inagar II, who was coercing the entire Terra Continent, would suddenly die... Even the Seven Cities Alliance, which had the closest relationship with the Empire, and the Flying Flame Kingdoms that had been fighting for many years would not dare to I believe, I think this is an exaggerated strategic deception.

After the death of the emperor, the secret mission really became a secret, especially since the Dark Moon turmoil almost wiped out all the noble ministers in the palace from the very beginning, the Grant family who shouldered the mission was really suffering.

——These people are dead, who knows their identities and hard work!

After a lapse of many years, no one knows why the Harrison Port was established. The development of Nanling University was attributed to "another big plan of the late emperor who was very happy and deceived", so it has been ignored all the time.

Until recently, perhaps the imperial capital wanted to build a maritime trade route center in the south, and it turned its attention back to Port Harrison.

"The natives of the redwood forest cannot be destroyed."

Opening his eyes, Viscount Grant strengthened his thoughts: "Otherwise, our construction and credit will be easily taken away by the visitors of the imperial capital - my father and I have fought on this land for fifty years, and I don't mind fighting another fifty years. Years, but we must not let the brainless fat people in the imperial capital think that our place is a good piece of fat."

"It's business as usual until the real entrance to the South China Sea Relics Group is found. Yam, I don't believe anyone except you."

"Master." The knight also sighed, he looked tired, but just as determined: "I will fight for you."

On September 18, 766 of the Terran calendar, the big storm started from the far south sea and attacked Port Harrison, the Great Sequoia Forest, the Elephant Bone Mountain, and the Sigh Cliff. Afterwards, he wandered off to the northwest.

The huge waves it raised along the way destroyed seven coastal fishing villages in the Frodo Autonomous Region.

On the day of the storm, the indigenous tribes of the Redwood Forest formed a coalition under the call of the great shaman Animu Mire, and attacked Port Harrison, Three Rivers City and Anmore Town at the same time.

Under the heroic counterattack of Viscount Grant, Governor of Port Harrison, the indigenous coalition forces were repelled, and the spirit of the indigenous totem, the mountain tide, was severely damaged.

However, as the main battlefield, Harrison Harbor suffered heavy losses. More than 300 soldiers were killed, citizens died before and after, and more than 2,000 people were missing.

According to the follow-up interrogation of the prisoners, it can be known that the 'Flash mosquito' plague that occurred in the Midra Mountains Autonomous Region and Odore Colony was also deliberately spread by the indigenous people. Intense, mosquito-humming auditory hallucinations, although not life-threatening, make it difficult for the patient to work and move.

On September 21, 766 of the Terran calendar, the great storm completely merged into the Wandering Ocean. The huge amount of rainfall created a number of dammed lakes and new marshes in the northwest of the Baisen Mountains. In the other side of the Abbasalom Mountains, the flames are all sensed.

On September 22, the distant sea was calm, the clouds dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth again.

The storm also ceased.

And Harrison Port, a city that has experienced storms and wars, although it has been devastated by continuous battles and heavy rains.

But at this moment, it still ushered in the final victory, as well as peace and tranquility.
