Dad——Handle, a former second lieutenant of the Sbia Alliance Border Guard Army, has made outstanding achievements in previous wars. The most dazzling ones were the two riverside outpost battles and the delivery of forest essence stones. He received a total of one first-class loyalty medal.
Two first-class bravery medals, three first-class bloody battle medals, and one second-class bravery medal. A few days ago, the hilt was awarded a third-class viscount by the Alliance Noble Council, and received a fief of five miles and 100,000 gold coins.
Mommy - Vic, a former roving judge of the internal affairs of the Sbia Union. He has made outstanding achievements in previous wars. The most important thing is to rescue wartime records and rescue his own troops many times. He has received a first-class loyalty medal and a first-class bloody battle.
One medal, one Medal of Valor, Level 2, and Medal of Bloody War, Level 2. The Council of Nobles awarded Vic the title of Baron, First Class, a fiefdom of three miles, and 80,000 gold coins.
Because they wanted to break away from the original system, Dao Ji and Vic were among the first people in the alliance to receive rewards. When their military merits were transferred to knighthoods, their rewards were off the charts. In Sbia, noble fiefdoms are symbolic.
The nobles of the old faction want to give up their excessive fiefdoms. A first-class viscount usually only has a small manor, and the two of them have three or five miles of fiefdom. This is already an extremely generous treatment.
In fact, there is not much difference in the merits of the two. Except for the two battles at the riverside outpost, Hilt and Vic were both together, and the information Vic protected was very precious, and its value exceeded that of Hilt's killing of Adler!
But because the hilt is the transmitter of forest essence stones, his credit exceeds Vic's - on the noble badge on the hilt, there is a ring composed of seventeen pure gems, which shows that he belongs to a special meritorious group.
Inside Biya, these people who participate in delivering forest essence stones are called "Ambassadors of Hope."
Although the story of the Forest Essence Stone has not yet been fully announced, it has already spread within Sbia. It can be said that all seventeen transmitters are respected and loved by everyone in the alliance.
The Liaison Department worked at full capacity, confirmed all seventeen messengers, and brought all of them back to the city as soon as possible. Not only did they rescue Mrs. Fulan Xisuo with lightning speed, but even the top management no longer hugged her.
Hope's missing persons were also found. However, in the process, they also determined that one missing person unfortunately died in the war.
Under the direct instruction of Cohen Keda, all the deliverers were made nobles. Mrs. Fran Sissot was made a first-class earl, Brigadier Roman was made a first-class viscount, and even the seven who had been confirmed to have died in the line of duty
As passers-by, their awards and titles will also be received by their descendants, and the seven heirs, four men and three women, will be taught by the Keda family.
All surviving couriers were removed from the battlefield and immediately became internal affairs officials. The most prominent among them was Mrs. Fran Sisseau, who was the future Governor of Foxborough, and to a lesser extent Brigadier General Roman, who was the future Tansey.
The governor of the capital, another brigadier general Slida, entered the alliance center and served as the supervisor of the noble council... The lowest-level messenger was a small scout who didn't even know a few words, and was also "caught" to wait for internal affairs in the city.
He received crash course training as governor of the academy and was appointed deputy governor of Pegasus Plains half a year later.
What is even more shocking is that the governors of seven provincial capitals have always been vacant, waiting for the underage viscounts to grow up.
From the perspective of an onlooker, this is an almost ridiculous appointment of official positions. You must know that Yarsad Salan, who has a deep connection with the Al Qaeda family, is treated in this way - he is officially designated as the future capital of Bota.
Governor - But people with a discerning eye can see that the behavior of Sibia's senior officials is full of trust and affection for Ambassador Hope. It can be said that these seventeen noble families as a whole have been included in the core circle of the Sibia Alliance. As long as
It is not a crime of rebellion. Their family can coexist with the Sbia Alliance.
When it comes to the handle, because his previous military rank was really not high, the top management of Sibia did not hesitate to cheat and just promoted his official position to five levels in a row. Because he caught up with the establishment of the Ninth Hall, the handle was assigned
He went to serve as the deputy director of the Bruck District of the Inspectorate, and Vic, who originally had a higher official position than him, served as the Bruck District Director-all internal departments are headed by civilian officials, and Vic's knowledge is more in line with the requirements, so this pair of
The golden partner is still in the old routine of mommy touching the chin and dad being the thug.
Because the two were loved by many parties, all their subordinates who lived and died together in the war were transferred to their command and equipped with enough professional adjutants. Among the forces that the Ninth Hall had to deal with, including the stubborn Black Skull and Bones Society
disease, so most of the professional adjutants had served in hunting teams or reconnaissance units, and the others were shady veterans with a background in investigating crimes in the police force.
Speaking from experience, the professional adjutants are also soldiers, and they are more experienced and understand the joys of life than the handlers. They even have more jokes in their stomachs than the big-headed soldiers, so they can easily integrate into this atmosphere. After a few days
Oh my god, these dozen adjutants were assimilated by everyone, and they started calling them "Mom and Dad".
Perhaps this group of people may seem cold to outsiders, but in fact they are very relaxed inside. Just imagine, they no longer have to go to the battlefield to fight, and they are so powerful, and the errands in the future are not too onerous, what else is there to worry about?
So in the whole team, the only two people who are not feeling relaxed are Dao Ji and Vic.
Although there is a suspicion of backing things up, the pair have also been involved in the high-level circles of Daicheng, and they have learned some inside information about the overall situation. Therefore, they know that the situation in front of them is not as simple as most people think, and neither are the false gods.
The kind of enemy that can be easily eliminated - when Cohen led the crusade on a mighty expedition, they were all among those who looked up to him.
At this time, they were standing on the edge of the cliff overlooking the vast ocean. It was not to show their pride, but because their inner worries could not be calmed down.
"Don't worry." A warrior's heart should always be simpler. When the sun hid behind the clouds again, the handle turned to Vic and said, "Crueling against false gods is not something we can imagine. Instead of doing this, we should
Why not think about the problems we are about to face."
"I've thought about it." Vic narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The reports received show that the Bruck Empire has not been captured yet, and the most optimistic estimate will take a month. Although the army's forward is approaching
Outside Foxburg, but the Brooke royal family are traditional and stubborn people, they probably won't surrender."
"Does this mean we still have more than a month to prepare?" Daozhi continued the discussion, "To be honest, I am not too confident about this position. The officials who supervise us can say that we can eliminate hidden forces.
I'm not sure. The entire Buluk Empire, sixteen provinces, more than 300 families, hundreds of thousands of remnant soldiers... I feel dizzy just thinking about the post-war comfort."
"There are already arrangements for this. They will soon send a batch of important information. It is the distribution map of the Demonic Treaty Business Group's lurking forces in the Buluk area, as well as a partial roster. With this label, we will start to do something.
It’s much more convenient to come here.”
"I'm good at arresting people!" Dao Ji said with a smile, "As long as the information is accurate."
"If this word spreads, the commander of the surveillance station will skin you! This is the information that the tree man paid for with his life." Vic replied, "Speaking of which, the tree man's vision is much better than mine, even at that time
, he anticipated the intelligence we will use today."
"Treant...could it be what he got at the headquarters of the Treaty Merchant Group?" The handle put away the smile on his face, "Well, now I just hope that the ship assigned to us will come soon."
"We'll be here in about three hours." Vic calculated the time. "Our ship is the Breeze."
"It's a pity that it's not an ocean-going transport ship. What do you think we should do if we get seasick on a small boat like this?"
"It doesn't matter. Aren't you lucky when you see the water?" Vic said angrily, "I can drag you behind the boat."
"Forget it, in fact, every time I encounter water, I am unlucky..." The handle looked at the sea in the distance with lingering fear, and his eyes froze for a moment, "I said... there seems to be something wrong over there..."
"What's wrong?" Vic was startled by the handle of the knife, and quickly looked towards the line between the sea and the sky. Unfortunately, his eyes, which had recently regained his sight, had not yet returned to their best condition. "Can you please stop being a warrior? There is nothing abnormal at all!"
"You are a person who has been blind once, and you should believe me who has never been blind before - all preparations - face the sea - the highest defense!" Vic pulled back by the handle of the knife and shouted loudly, "Send the alarm - port
Sea situation alert!”
When the sharp siren rang over the port, the guard post on the port lighthouse was still unaware of it. However, out of trust in the imperial elites from the waiting city, the top commander responsible for port security did not hesitate to sound the alarm.
The alarm sounded. At the same time, one of the adjutants of the handle had already typed a more detailed semaphore on the edge of the cliff - the officers of the port force had received relatively complete naval training, and semaphore was a skill that must be mastered.
"Sea warning! Order all ships to leave the shore, lower sails and anchors! Fasten the goods in warehouses, and order irrelevant people to get to higher places!" The commander who saw the flag broke out in a cold sweat, "Call the Joy back quickly!"
The command signal was immediately sent, and the people on the shore began to shout and get busy. The foreign officials in the hotel and military camp immediately evacuated, the warehouses began to be closed and locked, and the materials piled in the open air were tightened with cables... There
When the Joy, which was more than a mile out of the harbor, received the signal and began to turn around, the lookout on the port lighthouse finally saw something strange.
A fireball flew from the junction of the sea and the sky. It didn't seem to be very fast, but it quickly grew in size. The orange-red flames expanded in the air, emitting shocking heat and sound. As it approached the coastline, the size of the fireball had become as large as
Small transport ships are comparable - according to the order issued by the General Staff, this magic ball is an early warning signal, indicating that great changes have occurred in the direction of the deep sea!
The Joy, which had a deep draft, was drawing an arc with difficulty, and even used human oars. However, the fully loaded transport ship was very slow to maneuver. It took a long time to complete the half circle, which made people very anxious. And on the cliff
The alarm sounded again, more urgently than before, and they had seen more specific details - this time, people in the port also quickly felt the changes.
A low roar came from the ocean. It was inaudible at first, then overlapped heavily, and soon turned into a huge and continuous roar! Then, the airflow from the deep sea became disorderly.
, as if it was crushed by something!
"Sea level!" someone shouted, "the sea level is rising!"
Only then did the people in the port realize that, unknowingly, the sea level had quietly risen by as much as three arms!
"It's coming!" the lookout on the lighthouse shouted, "It's a huge wave!"
The port commander had climbed up to the lighthouse and was just taking a look.
This middle-aged man, who has been dealing with the ocean for most of his life, couldn't help but take a breath!
A slender white line appeared on the sea in the distance. It seemed to be slow but in fact it quickly covered the sea line in the distance. It was clearly a huge wave that was coming quickly. The commander's rough visual inspection showed that the wave was at least five meters high.
Ten arms!
But that's not the most terrifying thing. The truly frightening situation was discovered not long after.
After the white line advanced to the port for a certain distance, its outline became much clearer, and people could also observe some white spots breaking away from the wave line. The positions of these spots were almost fixed in the undulating surges.
, looks very dull, and gradually rises above the wave.
"It's not an iceberg, it's not an iceberg." The port commander muttered to himself, "It must not be an iceberg!"
However, the reality was cruel. When the huge waves got closer, he finally determined that these white spots were icebergs, and the waves were also mixed with smaller floating ice. Since there were icebergs, of course there would be smaller floating icebergs.
Ice, but this small is only a relative term. In fact, some ice floes are larger than transport ships, and some are as "delicate" as cabins.
These ice blocks of different sizes and shapes were driven by the waves to rotate, tumble, and even hit each other. Between them and the port, there was only a breakwater that was not very thick. To exaggerate,
, the breakwater is like a straw rope across the path of the crazy horses.
There is no need to doubt or make precise calculations. Huge waves, icebergs and ice floes with such speed will definitely cause a devastating blow to the port! This is not a disaster that human beings can withstand!
So at this moment, despair occupied everyone's chest.
"Happy - come on!" The commander was dripping with cold sweat and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Come on, come on!"
The sailors on the Joy had obviously tried their best to increase the speed of the transport ship to the extreme. The tilting hull made a strange "creak" sound, and from time to time there was the sound of a wooden oar breaking. But the rush came
The huge wave was not far from the stern of their ship. There were already two "ice pioneers" the same size as the transport ship, spinning in circles to catch up. They would soon hit the ship's hull... with the sharpness and hardness of the ice.
, if this wooden-hulled boat is hit, it will be penetrated even if it is not cut off!
"Everyone evacuates!" The port commander knew that he could not help much. At this time, he had to save his men and the port first. As long as the people were saved, the port could be rebuilt!
Although the waves are coming very fast, they have not yet reached the level of a tsunami, and because the sea level is rising rapidly, the relative height is not too high. The ships docking have already set double anchors in the middle of the port, which improves their ability to withstand waves.
A large increase, at least they will not be completely wiped out in the huge waves. The warehouse will undoubtedly be flooded by the waves, but fortunately, most of the supplies are not afraid of water, and their buoyancy is taken into consideration when packaging. As for those destructive icebergs, in addition to expecting them
Apart from stranding themselves, the defenders have no other way to deal with it.
Manpower is limited, it depends on luck!
The heart-wrenching Joy is still a quarter of a mile away from the breakwater, but in the view of the port commander, it cannot escape because the seawater that has surged in earlier has lifted its stern, the tilting sea surface and the chaotic wind direction
It also lost the ability to turn and dodge. It looked like the Joy was like a clumsy bug with its butt raised, and the nearest ice block was only fifty arms away from it! (To be continued)
