Sword of Daybreaker

In Gawain's view, what Rosetta is doing is not even a conspiracy—everything happened with integrity.

This even gave him a feeling-Rosetta Augustus, who was far away in Aldernan, gave herself a look in the sky and made him look at...

And Gawain seriously thought about it, and felt that this could only be continued, because all this was exactly what he expected.

No matter what method is used, it is necessary to reduce mental pollution carriers as much as possible, weaken the influence of the God of War in the material world, and defend against enemies outside the country. In this regard, Rosetta is just fighting Cecil. It’s just a tacit cooperation...

"Ancestor, is this really okay?" Heidi couldn't help but frowned. Rosetta Augustus's series of operations exceeded her expectations. In her impression, this boldness It seems that this unreasonable operation can only be done by the ancestor who uncovered the coffin in front of him. "The Typhonians are borrowing our hands to remove those infected with spiritual alienation..."

"The key now is not whether there is a problem with this, but the only way to do it-Rosetta threw us a pitch that must be picked up, and now we can only accompany him to do this," Gao Wen But his attitude was very calm, "It's better to say that this is in line with my idea-we don't have so much energy to deal with the normal Typhons, but if the person on the opposite side is the infected... then it's another matter."

The weird feeling in Hetty's heart is still hard to subside. She pursed her lips, with an unbelievable expression on her face: "But he can do this with integrity... The soldiers and nobles who are contaminated by the God of War are already very human. , But was still mobilized by him at will, and the God of War did not react at all in the process..."

"Just as we have been analyzing the birth and operation of the gods, Rosetta Augustus also has his own research on this aspect," said Gawain, his expression serious, "he has clearly found it. The law of... When the **** was in a semi-crazy state, he accurately used the loopholes in the field of'war'-even if the infected believers of the **** of war were sent to the front to die, this was essentially a part of supporting war, as long as this If the point is still within the framework, then he will not incur the backlash of the God of War, and those nobles and soldiers who have been mentally contaminated will obey the orders from Aldernan."

"The problem is that even a mentally disordered army has normal intelligence on the battlefield. Even due to the loss of the fear and weakness of ordinary humans, the combat power of those who have been mentally contaminated is far beyond that of normal soldiers." Heidi said solemnly, "Rosetta August has sent the nobles and soldiers who have lost control to Winter Wolf Castle, and is also constantly consuming our fighting power..."

"Of course he has to consume our combat power. Our hundreds of thousands of mechanized legions are stationed on Typhon's land. Can he sleep?" Gawain waved his hand. "It's not hard to guess his idea, he can only say ...This plan is very good."

Rosetta Augustus’s plan was clear to Gawain—this chaotic and sudden war plunged both empires into a whirlpool, and countless people couldn’t see what the future was like. However, for the two empires As far as the rulers of China are concerned, all this is as clear as mountains and rivers in the sun.

This war may be sudden, but in the long run, there will be such a battle between Typhon and Cecil sooner or later, so when it does come, Rosetta Augustus will definitely Try to bring the situation back to his own control as much as possible, and find the best interests from it-he sent the troops controlled by the **** of war to the front line, and used this method to quickly reduce the hidden dangers of domestic instability, and those who are not afraid of death The out-of-control legion can also be used to weaken Cecil's combat power. At the same time, those troops that are out of control will also win precious time for Rosetta, allowing him to reorganize the order and regain the disadvantages of the early war.

This may not give him any advantage, but it can at least allow Typhon and Cecil to gradually return to the same starting line.

In addition, Rosetta will also take this opportunity to wipe out the various unstable factors in Typhon, and get a chance to completely reorganize the order like Cecil in the past, and his rule will be unprecedentedly strengthened. , Typhon upper layer will truly condense...

Of course, there is a major premise for all this-the situation will really develop as he planned.

"Ancestor, do we need to make a plan to attack Aldernan?" Heidi watched the change in Gawain's expression. After some thought, she suddenly broke the silence, "Maybe, it will be useful."

Gawain looked at Hetty in surprise, and then he was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying: "Plans...always have to be."

"Yes, I understand." Heidi lowered her head and said, then she raised her head and saw that Gawain's line of sight was falling on the continent map not far away-that map had been drawn with various lines. And the mark, the seemingly messy markup, faintly reveals the hidden order in the depths of this war.

"I've been thinking about one thing," Gawain said slowly, "Is there something deeper behind this thing..."

Heidi blinked, with a hint of curiosity: "What do you mean?"

"The out-of-control God of War is only projecting his power onto mortals who believe in him to cause chaos, but is there really only this chaos in a divine disaster? Intelligence shows that Rosetta Augustus A large-scale purge in the country and a series of shutdowns, suppressions, and censorship actions against the Church of the God of War. Although this seems to be a normal way to reorganize the order, will this be a problem for the God of War who has lost control? An active stimulus?" Gawain said with a finger, tapping the armrest of the seat lightly, "Rosetta Augustus's series of bold actions now make me feel like a gambler...but He can't be a gambler, or he can't be a'pure gambler'."

Heidi showed a thoughtful expression: "Not a'pure gambler'..."

"A pure gambler will gamble everything regardless of the cost, and Rosetta... He will definitely calculate all the costs and the probability of failure, and bet carefully on what he can bet," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. Said, "Therefore, when he decides to take a gamble, there is only one possibility-he does have a certain degree of'gambling money' and confirms that there is a possibility of success, regardless of gains or losses, in his opinion All are acceptable."

Gawain’s expression was very determined when he said this. Although from a personal point of view, he and Rosetta August have only met once or twice, but as the rulers of the empire... Cecil and Typhon fought I don’t know how many encounters.

Those business bills, those circulating intelligence, those records about Typhon's New Deal and the Augustus family... Numerous third-party materials have already pieced together the full picture of Rosetta Augustus's "portrait".

For Gawain, this "portrait" pieced together based on intelligence and data is even more authentic than Rosetta himself.

He fell silent and began to sort out all kinds of intelligence he had at present, and deliberate the next possible actions from Typhon. In fact, he didn't worry about this "war" itself at the beginning. He trusted his army and trusted Philip and other generals trusted the technology, industry and people of the empire. What he really worried about was always what stood behind the war.

"The Psionic Singer Project..." He suddenly raised his head, looked at Hetty and said, "Which step is it now?"

Psionic singers, special soldiers who are specially used to fight against all kinds of mental pollution (including the spiritual pollution of gods). These special soldiers use the "Song of the Deep Sea" of the sea monster as the core technology and the "Psionic Choir" of the Eternal Sleeper In order to train the blueprint, relying on the nerve thorns and a series of auxiliary equipment in the biochemical, soul, and magic fields to achieve "mass production", from the very beginning, this special soldier project was a matter of special concern for Gao Wen.

As a country that has experienced divine disasters and has been studying gods a long time ago, Cecil currently has some technologies that can fight mental pollution, but these technologies have their own shortcomings-the most basic "mental protection" The “system” is a primitive and rude use of the Siren rune, with limited effects and only passive protection; the most advanced “humanity barrier” runs in a neural network, which is more effective and can actively remove or even “predation” The mental pollution within the scope can also be connected to the minds of mortals for effective "treatment", but it must rely on the operation of the network and has high requirements for equipment and basic engineering.

For Cecil today, neural networks cannot even achieve full coverage at home. It is obviously more difficult for troops on the expedition to maintain a smooth network. After all, there are no communication satellites in this era. Neural networks can only rely on magic. Even the most advanced "Steel Ambassador" multifunctional tank, its communications tower can only maintain a limited range of signal transmission.

Originally, these problems were not so urgent. The mental protection system and the human nature barrier were enough for Cecil to protect himself within the country. However, this sudden war disrupted the pace of development of Gao Wen-now he urgently needs a solution. It is a new unit that can actively resist the spiritual pollution of the gods, move flexibly on the front line, and can operate independently of network restrictions, and does not affect the protection effect in expeditionary operations with complex conditions.

The "Psionic Singer" being trained by the former Archbishop "Spirit Song" Wendy of the Eternal Sleeper best meets his requirements-but this project has not progressed for a long time.

"About the psionic singer, Ms. Wendy sent a message yesterday," Heidi said, "The prototype soldiers at this stage are still unable to enter the battlefield... Stability is a problem. But if you have time, you can Go and see the situation."

Sure enough, this kind of thing can't be achieved by thinking about it...

Gao Wen thought for a while: "Is there anything else on my schedule today?"

Heidi recalled: "There will be a meeting of consuls in the evening, and there is no other arrangement before this."

"Then let's go and see," Gawain stood up, "at least see what the current prototype soldier is like."

...

On the north bank of the Baishui River, in a research facility affiliated with the Imperial Military Research Department near the pyramid-shaped computing center, testing of prototype soldiers of the psionic singer is still in progress.

This is a large and spacious laboratory with a large area in the center of the rectangular room. In the four corners of the room, you can see four alloy square pillars with shimmering metallic luster and gleaming runes. Around the open space in the center, you can see many neatly arranged cylindrical devices only half a meter high. Technicians wearing white short robes are busy around those cylindrical devices, and many of those technicians are familiar faces.

Standing at the forefront is a young lady with a high-rise hair and a dignified and beautiful appearance. She is the former Archbishop of the Immortal, now an imperial researcher, an expert in neurology and spirituality-"Ling Song" Wendy, Yuri and Semler, who were both archbishops, stood beside her. In addition, Pittman, who came to assist the work as a biochemical expert, was also on the scene.

The test subject was a young man with freckles on his face standing in the center of the clearing.

The young man was wearing a set of special light armor-not so much armor, but also a "body frame" used to fix various rune inserts. The test runes were installed everywhere in the armor. There was a faint light flashing; his hands and forearms were equipped with special "arm guards". The arm guards looked a bit similar to the second-generation military magic terminal that is now widely used, but the weapon unit was not visible. The place where the ray gun or lightning launcher was originally placed was replaced by a large number of metal protrusions with precise structures, which obviously should have a special role.

When the surrounding technicians were busy, the young man was checking the buckle of his armguard. He moved his wrist from time to time, making him a little nervous.

When Gao Wen and Heidi came to the scene, they saw this scene.

He came between the busy technicians, raised his hand to signal that everyone needn't be formal, smiled and nodded to the young man on the test field who panicked and bowed to him in response, and then looked to the side. "Spirit Song" Wendy: "To be honest, the psionic singer is a bit different from what I imagined... I thought there was the word'singer' in the name, and there would be at least one set related to'singing' in the laboratory. Things, I only saw rune armor, magic terminal and nerve thorn safe deposit box."

Wendy was not surprised by these words of Gawain, she smiled faintly: "The'singing' of the psionic singer is not audible with ears, and naturally there is no need to'sing' with your mouth-please Don't be misled by this name. They are called'songers' only because the power they use is derived from the deep sea song of the sea monster."

Gao Wen was taken aback, and realized that he seemed to have misunderstood this matter before, and at the same time Wendy smiled and continued: "So in theory, psionic singers don’t even need to be able to'sing'— -It’s enough to be able to manipulate neural thorns and a series of brainwave amplifiers."

Heidi, who came with Gawain, could not help but glance at Wendy when he heard this: "I have heard the songs you recorded on the show, I thought..."

"Personal hobby," Wendy smiled faintly. "The psionic singer's'singing voice' is used to fight against those crazy chaotic gods and evil spirits. Those things... don't know how to appreciate music."
