The brilliance of the giant sun sprinkled from the sky and penetrated the thin clouds above Gondor’s homeland. Several magical flying boats with distinctive elven style passed between the clouds, and the sun shone on the metal cladding and crystals of these ancient flying machines. A dazzling and unique luster appeared on the surface of the node. Amid the low and sweet buzzing of the anti-gravity mechanism, there was also the call of a giant eagle coming from nearby. , Arranged on both sides of the flying boat as a team of guards marching forward together.

And below this team, there is the vast Gondor Wasteland, or the former Gondor Wasteland.

The history of the wasteland has come to an end. Under the influence of the blocking wall that stretches for thousands of miles, the chaotic force field that has been entrenched for centuries on the land below has been calmed, although the hills and plains are still covered with a disturbing layer. It has a dark purple tone, but the polluting energy has been confirmed to fade, and the activities of all kinds of deadly anomalies and aberrations have also ceased. With various toxic substances that rely on chaotic magic energy to maintain stability, they gradually decompose and dissipate from the soil and groundwater. , The dark land will soon become fertile land and the sealed mineral deposits on the Gondor Land and the magical materials accumulated in the magical environment for seven centuries will also be possible to mine.

The nations of the alliance that lost huge national power in the war will be rewarded richly on this boundless fertile soil, and the blood lost will quickly regenerate in the subsequent large-scale development. The premise is that the stable order of the alliance cannot be broken.

Bersetia's gaze shines through the polymer window on the side of the cabin, looking at the sky and the earth in the distance. Another flying boat that accompanies her appears in her vision. The streamlined hull is almost like a shuttle in the clouds. Elegant and flexible like a swimming fish.

"...When the Temple of the Stars crashed, only a dozen lifeboats finally escaped the enemy's air defense fire." Maid Elaine's voice came from the opposite side. The close-knit maid apparently noticed the empress's sight, "Now One of these flying boats is really decommissioned and one less...We have lost all the flying boat production arrays, and the remaining maintenance facilities cannot keep these old antiques running forever."

"Since many years ago, the'flying boat' has ceased to be the main force of our air force. The giant eagle trained by the druids has long replaced these ancient precision machinery," Belcetia's expression was very indifferent, "the flying boat will sooner or later. I completely withdrew from the history of the silver elves. My father, when he was still on the throne, thought that this would happen during my'term', just like other ancient machinery... the crash of the Temple of Stars was nothing more than Speed ​​up this process."

"Master Vilania is leading the engineering masters to transform the Cecil-style anti-gravity engine in order to use it in the energy frame of the flying boat." Elaine sat opposite Belcetia, not like a maid, but Like a sister, chatting with the imperial ruler in front of him, "It is said that there has been a lot of progress. adaptation."

Belcetia finally had a smile on her face: "Sounds great... After stagnating in place for so long, the proud silver people are finally willing to let go of their reservations and go forward."

"There are also many people who feel awkward about this. Initially, we gave the Cecilians the technology of the large anti-gravity engine, and then they made a magical transformation on it, creating a rune array It is a stable version that runs on the basis, and now we have to bring back the engines they built to learn..." Elaine shook her head helplessly, "Even Lord Valentian sighed about it."

Bersetia smiled: "It is never a shame to learn and progress. We just stood on the top of the mountain for too long, and we are not comfortable with the feeling of climbing up from the foot of the mountain again, but even Tarron The dragons of Germany are rebuilding their civilization. Sooner or later, more silver elves will understand these principles. Compared with this, I would like to hear your views on...after this war is over."

"Are you referring to the upcoming meeting in Talash Plain?"

"Of course we are now on the way to the meeting site after all."

"...I'm just your personal maid. Analyzing this kind of international situation is not my area of ​​expertise," Elaine sighed. "But I am sure that Uncle Gao Wen will not allow the alliance to mess up here. Under the premise, there will probably be quite a lot of...'neutral zone' or'joint development zone' left in the Gondor Wasteland. It is foreseeable that the era of large-scale development and large-scale development is coming, but the elves... are not one. A race that is good at pioneering."

"Look, isn't your thinking in this area very keen?" Belcetia smiled and glanced at Elaine. "You are right. Uncle Gao Wen will not allow the alliance countries to fall into the'territory division'. In the deadly vortex, with the exception of the "homeland enclaves" in the marginal areas that historically belonged to the four border countries, most areas in the wasteland will either be neutral areas, or joint development zones, or remain disputed. Status, he has implicitly mentioned this in the letter he sent before. The elves are indeed not a race that is good at pioneering. We are not good at taking roots far away from the jungle, and there are not so many people to fill in this vast area. The development area, but if this is done in the form of investment and equity participation by various countries...The Silver Empire still has its own advantages..."

With a calm and gentle smile, Bersetia slowly talked about her thoughts with her most trusted "sister", telling her ideas about the future and prospects, outside the porthole, the clear and bright sky and the vast expanse The earth extends infinitely into the distance, as if countless roads are pointing to the unknown future

For the first time in thousands of years, the silver elves seem to have the qualifications to consider the "future".

…

The towering sky fortress is suspended smoothly in the sky of the Tarrash Plain, and the clouds are like floating veil blowing around the armor plate on the edge of the fortress. The twelve Gorgon-class sky fortresses resemble the sea of ​​yarn. The floating islands slowly patrolled in the sky near the Earthly Dawn, shining with the luster of steel.

Rebecca came to the deck, and in the refreshing breeze, she stretched her waist vigorously, finally showing a relaxed look on her face after a long time.

Many soldiers who fought on the front lines have now returned to the country as a triumphant army, but the Earthly Dawn still needs to stay here and shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of the situation, and as the chief engineer of the Earthly Dawn and the entire air and space battle Of course, Rebecca, the highest technical officer of the group, also needs to stay here, but for the Imperial Steel Ball, who is accustomed to living on aerial fortresses and likes to deal with all kinds of machinery and equipment, such a life is nothing wrong. OK.

At least I won’t be stared at by my aunt all day here. Although the old ancestors are a bit nervous nearby, the old ancestors are much more cordial and kind than the aunt...

Rebecca was wandering about these things, and suddenly heard the sound of familiar footsteps coming from behind. She quickly looked back and saw that a tall figure had come next to her and was facing Looking into the distance, the ancestors are coming.

"My ancestors, good noon!" Rebecca was excited on the spot. Although she didn't know why she had a guilty conscience, she turned around and bowed with guilty conscience. "You also come out to blow the air hehe..."

"Standing on an aerial fortress flying between the clouds and overlooking the earth... It's an incredible feeling," Gawain nodded lightly. Although he had overlooked the earth from space countless times, the limited satellite perspective and the current standing The feeling of overlooking the earth on the Earthly Dawn is obviously different, especially when there is a deep blue well on the earth in front of him that is spraying a glorious beam of light. This magnificent scenery even makes him feel a deep soul. Shocked, "Rebecca, you have indeed created an engineering miracle."

"Hey, it's not just me..." Rebecca immediately scratched the back of her head subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that it was a rude act that was not in accordance with etiquette, so she quickly took her hands back, "And if only If an earthly dawn is the case, it won’t win this battle..."

Gao Wen smiled and stretched out his hand to press Rebecca's hair, and asked casually: "What is the status of the Earthly Dawn now?"

"How do you say...'Surface repair" is not difficult. Now the outer damage repairs such as the deck area and the armor area have already begun. The factory inside the Earthly Dawn can directly produce the prefabricated plates in these areas and remove them for replacement. It’s not a difficult task. The key is the damage to the main structure and the main brain. As I told you before, I’m afraid it will have to be repaired until next spring." Rebecca stuck out her tongue, "That will have to go well. in the case of.

"But the good news is that the Earthly Dawn is large in scale and has strong damage resistance. It can still float here well, as long as it doesn't confront opponents like the creeping disaster or a **** who suddenly went mad. It is still the most powerful war machine in the world. The subsequent repair project will not affect its continued mission."

Speaking of this, the imperial steel ball carefully looked at Gao Wen’s face, and cautiously said: "In addition, ancestors, although I just said that the outer damage is easier to repair, it will have to be repaired until at least autumn. Even this winter, if you want to use the Earthly Dawn as the venue for the post-war meeting... Those damaged decks and buildings must be repaired before they can be repaired. It will be too late to cover them. After all, I heard that the Silver Queen is coming soon. .

"Or, would you consider putting the venue on a medical ship or a church ship? One of the two Gorgon fortresses has a very good environment, and the other looks very grand, and it is also suitable for the venue... Actually, I think it is in the Deep Blue Well. It’s also good to have a meeting next to it, and you can let Veronica make the magic flame a little bigger and stir-fry the atmosphere..."

"No, the venue is set on the Earthly Dawn." Seeing Rebecca's thinking became more and more biased, Gawain had to interrupt the ironhead girl to continue to diverge, "and there is no need to deal with those who are damaged The decks and buildings are restored or decorated so that everyone can see them.”

"Huh?" Rebecca is a genius in the fields of engineering and mathematical logic, but in other respects, he is obviously just a silly roe deer, and he didn't react on the spot. "Isn't that very...Isn't it very shabby to use your word?"

Gao Wen took a deep look at a confused Rebecca, then looked at the purification towers that stretched out on the plain in the distance, with a low voice: "The venue is set on the Earthly Dawn, not just to show strength and boast wealth. We are to discuss the future with our comrades who are fighting together.

"I need to let them see the power and advancement of the Earthly Dawn, let them see the determination and ability of the Cecil Empire to maintain the order of the alliance, and let them realize what we have done for this victory, and let them Don't be so anxious and indulge in the joy of victory and sharing the fruits, but first calmly think about what kind of world we live in.

"The people who can come to the meeting are smart people, but there is a good saying, "The saint also needs a light to walk at night.""

The war against the wasteland is over, and countless problems need to be resolved. The high-level alliance naturally needs to hold a special meeting to deal with all of this. Considering the special nature of this meeting, Gawain proposed Tarash Plain to The location of the meeting, this proposal was unanimously approved by the leaders of the alliance, as for the specific venue... After some careful consideration, Gao Wen finally chose the Earthly Dawn.

This majestic giant ship is obviously very suitable for laying the foundation of the order of the "third pioneering era".

The countries of the alliance certainly have no opinion on the appointment of the "venue" by the Cecil Empire. After all, in the current situation, only the Cecil can prepare a safe and comfortable meeting environment on the Tarash Plain. The Cyr Empire is now.

Rebecca understood the idea of ​​the ancestors, but when she was about to say something more, a "master brain terminal device" on the edge of the deck suddenly came into operation. This appearance looked like a silver-white metal pillar. Inside the small machine containing sensory organs, sound organs, image generating devices and a section of nerve tissue, the neutral voice of the main brain came from: "Your Majesty Gao Wen, the creator Rebecca, received a contact signal from the Imperial Capital, the sender Miss Tyre."

"Tyre?" Gawain was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Tyr, who was far away in the imperial capital, would run out to contact him at this time, "What's the matter with her? Take it."

"Yes, the transfer is in progress."

The voice of the main brain fell, and immediately after that, a groove was opened at the top of the silver-white metal pillar, and a shiny crystal came out from it, and a picture from the imperial capital was projected in front of Gawain and Rebecca. You were swaying in the center of the screen, and this sea monster, who was always awake, looked quite energetic at the moment.

"Till?" Gawain said curiously, "What happened?"

"Communication with Antavien has resumed!" Tyre said happily, "The elemental rupture phenomenon surrounding the continent of Loren has also disappeared!"

Gao Wen was slightly startled that he almost forgot this...

But he was very successful in covering up this little embarrassment with his national character face, and after thinking quickly, he asked: "Has General Vanessa and the soldiers of the Sea-Monster Expeditionary Army have returned to the Deep Sea Kingdom?"

"Ah, yes, most of them have gone back, and some are temporarily unaccounted for. They may be dead to the point where they don’t know which horn is lost." Tyre shook the tip of his tail quite heartily. "But don’t worry, take your time. Will swim back."

Gao Wen: "..."

Rebecca asked worriedly next to him: "General Vanessa and the others are okay? How are the Krakens who have returned to Antavien?"

Tyre thought for a while, and while pressing the tip of his tail against his chin, he said casually: "I heard that a collective creativity award has been selected. The queen also plans to let them perform another one at the end of the year..."
