People in the Ark, Dimensional Blacksmith

Silber shook his head with a smile, and then started the planned handover with the doctor: "The tactical team is already in the city. They will meet you before noon today and begin to transfer the command to you."

"Can the intelligence network be established before noon?"

The doctor knew the reason why these tactical dolls did not gather here in the first place, and Silber also arranged tasks for these dolls, such as establishing a stagnant return line signal during this period of time.

information network.

The only shortcoming of the air loops is that they are too slow to deploy. Even though they can move in the air, with their size and power, it would take at least three full days to cover an urban area by natural diffusion.

So if you want to quickly establish an information network, you can only rely on tactical dolls to take the main base station of the air loop and walk to the target location.

"It should be able to complete 70%." At this time, Silber can intuitively understand the completeness of the information network through mental projection, and he can grasp the fuzzy data with a simple calculation: "The remaining areas can only be returned by staying in the air." The line spread itself."

"This level is actually enough." The doctor responded, "Then next, you are going to the city where the old guards are stationed?"

Silber was taking out various instruments and equipment from his backpack. These are all tools to assist the doctor in observing the battlefield and conducting command. After hearing the doctor's question, he said without raising his head:

"According to the information given by Jeanna, after eleven o'clock last night, the camp of the Old Guard Army completely entered a state of silence. This is not a good sign. I need to go there to see what happened.

"Hopefully I can still find a living Old Guard."

If you can't find it, it not only means that your side won't get more strong support, but also means that in this city, there is a force that can directly destroy the establishment of the Old Guard.

This kind of start can be regarded as the worst one in the doctor's plan.

Chapter 170 IX Come and Watch My Empire Collapse

The gap in numbers is always an irreparable defect. Even if Jeanne, as the princess of Gaul, allowed her to bring her own soldiers to Waterloo at such a sensitive time, it is still difficult for the team drawn from Paris to station in Waterloo now. Compared with the Corps.

Even counting the strength of other visiting forces, so many people may be killed by the Gaul Seventh Army stationed in Waterloo in one wave, and with the prestige and military power of the Duke of Blood Rose, mobilize this army. There is absolutely no problem with troops entering the city.

The only slim possibility lies in Louis XIV, the Sun King. If Louis XIV stood up and gave orders in person, then the Grand Duke of Blood Rose really has no way to surpass him in authority.

It’s just that the possibility of this is too small. I don’t want to say anything else. It’s just that during the Lingons period, the Duke of Blood Rose and Louis XVI were able to launch a coup that was close to forcing the palace in the imperial capital. In the face of Louis XIV, the Old Guard was wiped out in sevens and eights, which can already explain some problems.

Either he doesn't want to move, or he can't move, but no matter what it is, it means that Louis XIV's life is not easy now.

Therefore, in the plan of Silber and the doctor, this group of old guards can be regarded as a crucial part, because it determines the smoothness of the plan in the future, but now the Grand Duke of Blood Rose is also in time Before the arrival of external forces, this road was blocked.

But even so, Silber still wanted to see what happened in that camp area. Even if no old guards survived, from the traces of the battle on these battlefields, it is still possible to analyze If a certain amount of available information is released, it will not be said that the subsequent battle is an encounter without knowledge.

The Gallic Old Guard stationed in Waterloo is the Gallic Fourth Imperial Guard, the ace regiment among the Old Guard, and one of the few veteran Imperial Guards that broke away from the Ringones defense circle.

According to the strength of this guard, under normal circumstances, the Seventh Legion in Waterloo alone may not be able to eat these old guards, so there are only some who are not guessed by Silber and the doctor. of the situation.

That's why Silber wanted to investigate the situation.

Of course, on the other hand, Silber also needs to speed up the construction of the stagnant loop information network in the last period of time before the start of the parade, and the area he is responsible for does not overlap with the tactical humanoid team, so he is required to drive Just walk around the city where the battle is expected to happen with the mobile workshop.

The military urban area where the Fourth Reich Guard is located is close to the northwest area of ​​Waterloo. If you look at it from the map, two sides of this military urban area are surrounded by buffer urban areas, and the remaining direction is covered by factories and agricultural urban areas.

In other words, if a battle really broke out in this military district, then people in other districts in Waterloo might not be able to hear the movement inside.

This design was originally intended to keep the army concealed to a certain extent, but looking at it now, it has instead become a guarantee for Duke Blood Rose to attack easily.

The closer he got to this urban area, the more light and dark checkpoints there were around him.

At first, the surroundings were just the kind of people standing in the corners of the streets, who could be seen at a glance as plainclothes people. After passing through a few urban areas, sentries hiding in the shadows and people on the bright side began to appear. The checkpoint, after a while, will already be an urban area that does not cover up and starts patrolling the streets in small groups and implements crowd control.

And Silber's identity verification by means of black households can only go so far, although according to Ark's existing technical strength, it is completely possible to make a pass that can fool the checkpoint checker.

Travel card, but it is easy to expose his itinerary, so Silber finally chose to get off at a place close to the target urban area, and began to walk to the military urban area where the Imperial Guard is located.

In the beginning, it was just a simple optical invisibility cloak, which was enough to dazzle the eyes of SI:[-] Victoria, not to mention the fact that the technology has advanced so much now.

Optical concealment has been upgraded from the initial sensor to capture light to form a reflective layer to the use of concepts for invisibility. Magical creations from Hogwarts have played a considerable role at this moment, followed by temperature, sound, smell, and even airflow. Further strengthening, now as long as Silber doesn't come within half a meter of other people face to face, it will be very difficult for them to discover his existence.

Wearing such a cloak, Silber can even run in strides, instead of waiting for the sensor to slowly read the surrounding scenery as before, so he can only move forward step by step.

However, on the way to the city where the Imperial Guard is located, the surrounding sentinel density and defense level have been greatly reduced, and even under Silber's observation, it can be found that the direction of these observation posts is only facing the outside, not at all. No attention was paid to the condition of the inner city.

They seem to form a one-way circle, just blocking everything from outside.

When Silber arrived in the adjacent city, there were no sentries around, and the buildings in the surrounding city were completely different from before, to the extent that it could be described as devastated.

Just as they had guessed, even if an entire legion was invested to suppress these old guards, it would be impossible to silently kill these veterans who survived many battles.

For the Old Guards, this was just a defensive battle, but in the end, there were as many as five city districts involved in the battlefield, which shows the tenacity and strength of these veterans.

However, Silber also discovered that the last location of those observation posts was outside the battlefield city, and he could tell from the last batch of sentries that the opponent was looking like an enemy.

Is the battle for the Old Guard not over yet?No, looking at their expressions, it is not the enemy that may appear in fear, but something else.

After Silber pondered for a while, he slowed down his pace and slowly approached the military city.

Afterwards, he quickly saw the corpses of soldiers lying on the ground. These corpses were far away from the central battlefield, and the closest distance to the sentries was only 300 meters, but they still did not come to contain the corpses of their comrades.

This is not something that can be persuaded by the reason of being afraid of the Old Guard.

And walking towards the center of the city, the more the four characters of corpse crossing Katano can be reflected.

From the broken walls and the pool of blood that almost formed a lake on the ground, Silber can see how much manpower the people fighting here have put in for every inch of ground. It can even be said that on every floor tile, there is There were remains of the bodies of at least four people.

From entering the battlefield until now, Silber has not seen any complete corpses. Even as an enemy, the Gaul Seventh Legion also explained one thing to Silber - those who were able to defeat the Old Guard, Not only conspiracy and tricks, but also blood and iron.

Perhaps for the two warring parties, this local war in Waterloo is a war of glory and betrayal. Although both sides belong to the same country, they sacrificed their lives for their own masters.

And if you only look at this part of the battlefield, then it is considered extremely heroic, but if you look at the entire Gaul, then this war is undoubtedly ignorant and meaningless.

Fighting so much combat power, but only to clean up the interior, if the countries around Gaul can see this scene, they can already open champagne in advance.

The intensity of this local war was extremely high. Silber didn't see any buildings with a height of more than three meters in the vicinity, and the ground surface in some areas sank several meters directly. This made Silber's information collection process a bit more complicated. difficulty.

Because there are traces of more than ten kinds of Originium skills and artillery bombardment on each sample, it can be said that there is not much value in continuing to sample.

However, when Silber walked into the center of the Imperial Guard City, he finally saw two standing figures on the flat plain of flesh and blood.

A figure is bloody and bloody, the facial features on the face have been worn away, the eyes are gone, and the skull full of trauma can be seen below.

On his body, the uniform belonging to the Old Guard can be barely discerned.

The old guard had lost his vital signs, and the reason why he didn't fall down was because he inserted a broken long lance into his waist from behind, supporting his figure and making him a leader in this battlefield. The only dead man standing.

And in front of him stood the only living person that Silber saw after entering this place.

The living man was wearing a luxurious robe, but he didn't care at all that the clothes around his legs were already soaked in blood. His original golden hair was already full of mottled colors, and the wrinkles on his face were as clear as carvings. There is no fatigue and turbidity that old people often have, but it is as sharp as an eagle above the sky.

Before Silber got close to the old man, he turned around at a distance of several meters and looked directly in the direction of Silber.

"Your Excellency, both

However, when you come here, please take off your hat to show courtesy. "

There was no sound, and there was no way to capture Silber's figure with his eyes. Even when Silber stepped into the pool of blood, there would be no ripples.

But this old man still found him.

Silber narrowed his eyes slightly, and he took off the cloak on his body, revealing his figure.

The craftsman looked at the old man in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know why Louis XIV, the Sun King, would have the leisure to come to this messy land?"

The eagle-like old man stared at Silber, and after a while he laughed:

"I just came to see how my empire is crumbling, Mr. Hilbert Lawrence."

------------------

Chapter 180 He Aged With His Glory

Meeting Louis XIV here was indeed something that Silber did not expect, because according to the calculations of Silber and the doctor, the annihilation of the Old Guard basically symbolized that Louis XIV completely lost his influence on the outside world. From the perspective of Louis XIV's temperament, it is only possible to be able to fall to this point if he is controlled or completely loses his ability to move.

But now it seems that Louis XIV can still move freely, and even has the strength to bypass those strict guards.

Silber didn't think that the Duke of Blood Rose would be so kind to let Louis XIV come to this battlefield. You must know that this was the camp of the Old Guards, and the appearance of Louis XIV here was already the biggest change.

However, from Louis XIV's self-deprecating sentence, Silber could hear some involuntary taste, or more precisely, the meaning of breaking the can and smashing it.

As for Louis XIV being able to recognize himself, it is not such a rare thing. Even Soros can accurately find himself, which means that his existence must be known to the upper class in Gaul.

As a craftsman who has been engaged in forging by the forge all year round, Silber's emotional intelligence really cannot be described in words like gratifying. He also proved a point when he faced Louis XIV:

"So, as the Sun King, are you just watching your empire gradually collapse?"

To be honest, when Silber said these words, he didn't have any yin and yang thoughts. He was just asking his own question very seriously, but the content of it needs to be judged by the beholder.

But as a qualified king, no matter how ruthless her grandfather is in Jeanna's description, he is still quite passable in matters of heart and nature.

Louis XIV did not show an irritable expression, his expression was quite indifferent, and he even had a feeling of staying out of the way of what was happening in Gaul at the moment:

"Then what should I do?

"Gather my troops, launch a coup, take back power from my grandson, and then turn the tide and pull the entire Gaul out of the abyss?"

He sneered, quite playful: "Reality is not a graphic novel, there is no such thing as a fairy tale.

"Besides, I'm old, and Gaul is no longer the Gaul I was then."

Silber raised his eyebrows and looked at Louis XIV in front of him. From the other party's tone, he heard a feeling of resignation, which was somewhat different from the Louis XIV he had guessed.

Originally, Silber thought that the Sun King of Gaul was an old man who would burn and roar at sunset, but now it seems that he chose to walk into that good night gently.

Are you really old?

This may be a question that the whole of Gaul wants to get an answer to. Even though Louis XVI is enthroned (), no one still thinks that the Sun King is really old.

Not only the Gauls think so, but even the surrounding countries.

Victoria's forbearance after the Colombian War of Independence, Ursus' restraint after the offensive was reversed, and the silence of the Witch King of Letania on the border... They are not afraid of the existing army of Gaul, but are afraid and Watching the current situation of the old man.

There is no doubt that Louis XIV is Gaul's pinnacle of stability. Before he fell down, the giant named Gaul was always able to move forward.

Silber's eyes were sharp, and he glanced back and forth on the old man without fear. With his character, it was indeed difficult for him to have any thoughts about the so-called imperial authority.

It was this kind of glance that allowed Silber to observe too many things.

From Louis XIV's exposed wrists, one can roughly infer his current body shape, and the conclusion is that the opponent's current muscle mass is obviously unable to support this suit.

After obtaining this point, Silber's gaze also fell on Louis XIV's neck. He observed the abnormally thick carotid artery of the other party, and saw some pinholes that were not covered by the collar.

The craftsman's eye quickly came to the conclusion that even Louis XIV standing in front of him was wearing a life support device.
