The first morning sun shines on the highest clock tower in Cecil City, which is the first light from the giant day, accompanied by the operation of gears and levers, the mechanical clock driven by the magic energy core. Played a loud bell

Dangdang

In the sound of the mechanical clock, Cecil City faded away from the lazy sleep of the night, and the whole city began to live quickly in the sun.

The workers in the tooling walked out of the brick-and-mortar house, passed through the gear square and the lever street in the industrial area, and went to the Rune Foundry, the Machinery Manufacturing Plant and other factory facilities in groups to replace the late shift work. Colleagues; the merchants opened the store door one by one, took off the wooden sign in front of the window, and tapped the copper ring hanging under the eaves to announce the opening of the day; the newsboys and postmen greeted the morning mist and sprinkled it clean. Walk through the streets and send the latest newspapers and letters to every household.

In the streets and lanes where this is quickly becoming alive, there are still early morning vendors who are already busy. They have already gone out when they are not bright. The most important business in the day begins at the street near the home, and the sound of selling and people greet each other. It’s ubiquitous in a block of neighborhoods, and these sounds are mixed with the sound of the mechanical clock, echoing throughout the city of Cecil as if the new city was satisfied with a pleasant sigh in the early morning.

In the restaurant of the lord's house, Gao Wenzheng sat in his own position, and Hetty sat on his right hand side. The "Cecile butler" cut the bread in front of him and said the situation on the nearest territory: ......The news report about Lu’an City has been published through the magic net broadcast and newspaper. According to your instructions, in addition to reporting the cause of the incident, we also emphasized that the local people are not separated, regardless of their status or geographical unity. The situation of one heart, it seems that the effect is very good, people are excited, 'We Cecil' has become a widely spread statement."

Gao Wen nodded slightly and was very satisfied with the work of Godwin Orlando and Herti.

The liberation of Lu’an City has an extraordinary meaning. It not only means the complete retreat of the Holy Light Church in the South, but also means that the new order that he has been trying to promote in the past two years has really affected the lowest level of the people, and more It means that his other plan is going smoothly:

Laying a foundation for national consciousness, let the Southland truly transform from an ordinary aristocratic leader into a country.

In the operation of Lu’an City, thousands of people from all over the South stood together because of a common goal. They came from different social classes and from different regions and families. They used to belong to different lords and died. The people who are in contact with each other never pay attention to each other and never agree with each other. However, for that common goal, these people have become a force. The goal is to override their origin, occupation, place of residence and even personal belief. And the emergence of this phenomenon means that these originally scattered people have become the basis of "Cezir citizens."

On this basis, relying on continuous guidance and enlightenment, the Cecils will sooner or later awaken into a community, they will have similar moral standards, have similar living customs, they will use common words, similar language, will Celebrate the common festival and commemorate the common heroes. They will proudly call their ethnic group "We Cecil" and will treat every inch of land here as a "Your" territory.

According to Gao Wen’s experience, this sense of identity will lay the people’s psychological cornerstone for “territorial reunification”, and the development of the trend, coupled with the pioneering ancestors of Cecil’s ancestral ancestors, may even be able to embark on the “poor and shelving disputes”. , the road has been since ancient times...

Ok, this may be a bit more interesting.

But even if you don't consider "Da has been since ancient times", it is not easy to realize national and national consciousness. It takes many years, although people in the streets and streets will say "We Cecil" in excitement and pride. Words, but at best it is only a temporary craze caused by the current situation. In just two or three years, it is not enough to establish a strong and lasting national conviction, but as long as this craze takes the first step, as long as Gaowen Don't make a big mistake in the process of governing this land. As long as this land continues to develop as a whole, it will only be a matter of time before the "Cesier" becomes a whole.

"In addition, the Northern Rock Fortress sent a message, and the Holy Spirit Plain sent a messenger to hand over a letter from the royal family to the commander of the Valde Peric Fortress," Hetty continued. "They seem to have finally made room for the situation in the South." The Northern Grand Duke Victoria Verde wants to visit in person, this will be a 'private nature' visit. This letter is still on the road, the news is directly transmitted through the magic network communication."

Gao Wen’s hand holding the spoon slightly paused, and there was a strange smile on his face: “A Duke of the North personally visited another border Grand Duke across half of the country, and it was still on the corner of the kingdom’s civil war...this is It can only be called a private one."

"Do you want to agree?" Hetty looked at Gao Wen's eyes. "Rejecting the Duke of the North may be more exciting to the royal family, making them more vigilant and resistant to the South, but if you agree...the Northern Duke will enter the Rock Fortress. ""

"There is nothing to refuse," Gao Wen replied casually. "We just use the meteorological fortress to block the troubles of the north. It is not to completely block the south. The girl at the Wilder family has inherited some of the qualities of her ancestors. I am very I am happy to talk to her."

Hearing the phrase "inheriting some of the qualities of the ancestors", Hetty couldn't help but look at Rebecca sitting on the other side of the other side. The girl was lowering her head and trying to compete with a piece of meat. The way of wielding a knife and fork seemed to be like In the face of killing the father and enemies, seeing Hetti can only sigh invisibly, and took his eyes back: "Okay, I will let the Ward fortress commander reply to the messenger. But there is one more thing... ...I am afraid this thing is more sensitive."

"Ok?"

Heti reveals a dilemma: "The living saint of the Northern Light Church, the Virgin Princess Veronica Mohan... She also sent a letter to visit the South, the time and the visit of the Duke of Victoria Verde. Almost identical..."

Sitting across the table and studying how to spread the cream amber, I suddenly looked up and looked surprised. "Is it awkward? Because we have smashed their presence in Lu'an City? So I found the door so soon?" ”

If it was in the past, Herti was suddenly dissatisfied with the amber phenomenon when he talked with his ancestors, and he was also rude. He couldn’t be sure to hit a frostbolt on the spot. On the wall, but since the end of the Luan City incident, Herti has made some changes to this seemingly unreliable half-elves. She realized the ability and role of this half-elves and began to seriously answer the other's questions: The thing in Luan City could not be passed to St. Sunil so quickly, which is beyond the limit of the general communication spells. There is no high-ranking powerhouse in the church of Luan that can pass the information back. Veronica Moen said in the letter This is just a normal visit..."

"The details may not be passed back, but the headquarters of the Church of the Light may have any way to detect the general situation of the regional headquarters," Gao Wen said. "We should try our best to make the opponent think smarter and more capable."

Heti asked Gao Wen’s opinion: "That... do you want to reject the ‘female princess’?”

"You don't have to refuse, she wants to visit, then come," Gao Wen said without hesitation. "I still have this amount of energy."

"You are not afraid of her coming to the market?" Amber blinked. "We really got rid of their scenes..."

"The split between the Protestant and Old sects of St. Light is already an established fact. The matter of Lu'an City will eventually reach the headquarters of the church. The entire Southern Church has disappeared. Is this something that we can still succumb to? Not to mention from the beginning. I didn’t want to squat,” Gao Wen said, tapping the table gently. “I’m better off what the Northern Church will react to after knowing this fact... if they really organize a wave of holy forces to attack The Rock Fortress is just fine, we can save a lot of food on the road."

Gao Wen just made a joke, but Hetty shook his head seriously: "Then they probably did not have this Yu Yu's news from the north side. The Church of the Light has publicly announced that it is standing in the kingdom's camp to participate in this civil war. Now with the kingdom army, I went to the battlefield in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, and I was playing with the Eastern rebels."

Rebecca, who had bowed his head with the food in front of him for a long time, finally caught one or two conversations. The girl looked up in surprise and covered her face: "Hey? They haven’t finished playing yet? The army of the royal family is still playing?"

When the words came out, the people at the table were almost shocked and looked at her. Gao Wen looked at Rebecca’s pretty simple expression, and it took him a dozen seconds to ask Herti. This child hasn't woken up yet?"

Herti is sweating coldly: "...She is busy with the experimental project and may not pay much attention to the situation outside..."

Rebecca realized that she might have made a mistake at this time. She shrank her neck, but she couldn’t help but say: "How long has it been played? With this effort, we have already knocked down the whole south. I also drove the Church of the Lights out..."

"You can't use our form of war to measure Ansu's civil war..." Gao Wen looked back at Rebecca with helplessness. "But there is no way. You are still young and have not seen what the traditional aristocratic war is like." ......"

The civil war in Ansu continued, and the rebels and the kingdom army continued to have long-term sawing and stalemate in the eastern plains of the Holy Spirit. Whether it was the chaos created by Prince Edmund’s use of the royal aristocracy or the change of the situation caused by the entrance of the Church of the Light, Let the war speed up, if there is no accident, it is likely to continue, and even after several years, this can not be avoided.

This is the "normal" war of this era, cruel and bloody, but slow and long, the low efficiency of the cold weapons and the slow speed of the army so that every battle will be pulled for a long time, the gap between the battles has also become Very long, two cold weapons without a decisive force gap will kill each other little by little, and it will be possible for a beating for many years.

In particular, this is still a civil war that cannot be reconciled and cannot be stopped. A civil war against the kingship can be said that as long as the food and the population can survive, the warring parties will inevitably be dragged into the vortex and continue to hit this. Until the state's strength is exhausted, unless one of the warring parties is willing to give up the claim to the throne.

Like the Cecil family, directly pulling the magical cannon to play, a round of bombing to end all the main forces and fortresses of the "fast war", almost no such existence in this era.

"Then it will be settled," Gao Wen said. "The Duke of the North and the "Sister of the Virgin" of the Church of the Light... Now that the frost month has passed by more than half, waiting for them to come is the foggy month. The winter in Seoul is sure to impress them."
