Can't concentrate.
Unable to construct thoughts.
I want to adjust my spirit to a stable state suitable for practice, but as soon as I close my eyes, past events and resentments flood my mind. Unable to conceive new moves, let alone further powers, I just stood there, burned by hatred...
Gongsun Ce opened his eyes and silently went to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked at the empty eyes in the mirror and realized again that Situ Yi's obstruction was not empty words. Now he was literally unable to practice.
He adjusted his expression in the mirror to return to his normal appearance, then took out his communicator and said in a brisk voice: "Students, please get ready! Our combat meeting is about to begin."
·
The war is over, the celebration banquet is over, and people from all parties are gathered together. Such a rare opportunity——
It's a good time to sort out the situation and determine what to do next.
Therefore, the second important thing Gongsun Ce arranged after waking up was a meeting (the first thing was to accompany Qiluo to watch the sunrise). The meeting place was inside the hospital. Lady Huanyue Zun kindly donated her dream country as the meeting room. After a dozen people poured into the small room, they saw a beautiful field like an oil painting, surrounded by green grass and looking up like a blue sky. Wash, the fluttering wings of butterflies and birds bring the smell of milk and honey.
In addition to the members of the Morning Star, the attendees also included several Mech pilots, Jago, who represented the church, and senior officials from the Sky Capital who participated via communicators. Everyone sat down casually at the white tea table. Gongsun Ce rolled out a white board and began to write down the agenda one by one.
"I will take a moment to hold a small meeting to summarize the situation. First, let's talk about the results of this battle. This time we successfully killed Jane Gray Morton and Situ Yi's Horror Demon, and were powerless to transform the Arrogance Demon. , bringing the Real Sound State to our territory, it can be said to be a fruitful harvest."
"Does Ariel Kalash have any information?" Onowell, who was far away in Cangdu, asked.
"Situ Yi did a very thorough job and left nothing useful. As for her own condition..." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "I'm afraid the big star won't be of use in the short term."
The thread that controlled Ariel was cut off by Qin Qianbai, leaving her alive. However, Situ Yi's ritual is by no means so easy to get rid of. Now there is no arrogance on this woman's face. She hides herself in a dark room like a mentally fragile patient with severe depression, and no one can approach her. It would make her howl in extreme misery, or say "I'm sorry" repeatedly with a pleading look.
After diagnosing with the doctor, Alandia believed that this person's aura had been severely damaged, and she was lucky that she did not become a vegetative state. Now she can only temporarily calm down when listening to music. Her pitiful look makes Qiluo unable to bear to say anything more.
"I think this is tragic enough for her." Qiluo said, "Let Ariel reflect on it."
Maybe one day Ariel will be able to return to normal with adequate treatment, but that won't happen any time soon. As for the terrifying demon, it was completely killed in the fierce battle, leaving no trace of life left.
Onoville felt a little regretful: "No problem anymore, I'll leave the time to you."
"Okay! After a fierce battle, the situation became clear. Let's take a look at the basic board. There are three main groups of enemies we face this time, the Dust Order led by Situ Yi, the United Officials represented by Gaius, and Gray was killed by me."
Gongsun Ce wrote down the names of the three people from high to low, and made a slash on Gray's name: "Gray is the most powerful among the three. She doesn't have many cards in her hand, so she wants to seize the opportunity." Make her strength skyrocket, otherwise once the battle is over and the winner is free, she will be the first to be dealt with.
Gaius's power is in the middle. He himself should not be a powerful person in the creation, but he has champions and many family helpers. He cooperates with Situ Yi but is also very defensive about him. This is something we can take advantage of. "
"Why, isn't Gaius in the same group as Situ Yi?" Qiluo asked doubtfully.
"His plan can be seen from the actions in the battle of Sound Curtain City. Gaius only sent Pinglong Machine and Changlong Body, and the number was only four. The land of Hezhong is vast and rich, and he has abundant resources at hand. Even if he plans to rely on the body The consumption will not only be four. Gaius's purpose is just to put pressure on us and symbolically assist Situ Yi. He is worried that I will draw the sword to kill the fish and break the net, and he is also worried that Situ Yi will use drama to control him, so he keeps all the big cards to protect himself. .”
Gongsun Ce put a question mark between Gaius and Situ Yi. He finally pointed to Situ Yi: "The phaseless god Situ Yi is the biggest target of this operation. His subordinates are the three directors of the drama Chuangjie and Yinlu Lord, he lost two actors in this battle but he is still the strongest force because he is the pinnacle of Creation. How others deal with it can be discussed, but he must die."
"Devil, put away your murderous intention." Badman shouted, "Now in this meeting, you should fucking control yourself!"
Gongsun Ce burst into laughter: "I was actually persuaded to calm down one day by you... In short, the basic situation is like this. Situ Yi's purpose is not clear yet, and I have some guesses about Gaius's abacus. The most valuable result of this battle is After killing Jane Gray Morton, the creator of the world, the important information obtained after the war lies in the ritual she prepared and the thoughts revealed in it."
Gongsun Ce wrote a [result] on the whiteboard: "Gray's ascension ceremony is based on the so-called 'civilization front'. She connects the kingdom to the northern continent by building a passage, using the symbolic order of 'the kingdom unites as one'. The civilized front is extended, and then using its mass base in the two countries and Ariel's singing to complete the self-suppression of a large number of humans, and equating itself with 'civilization' through their worship psychology. Once this spell is completely completed, She can become the totem of the kingdom."
Caldesia raised her hand: "What if I become a totem?"
"The power surges, and the entire land will become her shield." Maho, who has experienced it, explained, "The injuries of the totemized individual will be reflected on the totem's 'territory', and Gray's death will lead to the destruction of Albion Island. Extinction. I think this spell is based on the Wind Angel experiment in the Wood Mechanism State. Its mechanism is more streamlined, but the core idea is the same."
Caldesia took a breath: "Oh my God, she is so poisonous..."
The gang leader on the side ignored the noise, and John got to the point: "How much does this technique increase combat effectiveness?"
Gongsun Ce scratched his head: "Let me put it this way, before becoming a god, Gray had no shortage of means, but with the guidance of an expert, I could quickly kill her with a blitzkrieg. But after becoming a god, she not only became stronger but also could Using a thing called a 'pseudo-infinity machine', the momentum reminds me of... the Red Mage at full power."
During the battle in Cangdu, Master Chi had been severely weakened. She was sealed in the Fallen Heaven by the Fujin Realm, and she devoted a lot of power to suppress the Final Sword. Even so, it took the whole city's strong men to fight together to finally defeat her. Behead. No one knows exactly what the level of Master Chi is when she goes all out. They only know that there is absolutely no second person in this game who wants to fight her in full strength.
"Then it seems that Gaius's plan is to recreate Gray's ritual." Shigure Reiichi said, "He treats Gray as a totemized experimental subject, because he himself doesn't know whether such a wild idea can succeed. "
Rei Shigure answered: "He should be running for president because of this plan. Head of state = national symbol is a clear symbolism. Gaius claims that this method can restore the realm of reality..."
"I didn't have similar feelings during the battle with Gray. I can only think that it was an effect related to the civilized front." Gongsun Ce shook his head.
"After all, what is the civilized front?" Qin Qianbai asked on behalf of everyone, "The first time we came into contact with this term was in the Charming Mist State. Xuying said that this is a battle to assimilate the opposing concepts of civilization and nature. , but no one knows its specific operating mode.”
Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and decided to briefly explain the information he had obtained so far.
"In fact, the saint left his 'writing' on every totem..."
He started from the original Brilliant Magnetic State, all the way to the Cold Steel State not long ago, and then speculated: "I think these 'admonitions' are the 'fulcrum' of the civilized front, or something like an 'anchor' . The saint completed the 'battlefield' of each state by setting spells on each totem. 51 battlefields gathered into a 'front' that united the entire community. He made civilization itself become a giant spell.
This evidence lies in the fact that he taught the local residents to live in a confrontational way. As long as people still adhere to the ideological struggle of fighting nature, the local dragon landscape can be controlled and people can use the power of nature for their own use. . If the power of the mysterious world is suppressed, the Dragon of Change will not come, and the whole world will be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability. "
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the law of impermanence is astonished. The general range of magic spells is only one city at most, and spells that can cover the entire state are great masterpieces. But if Gongsun Ce's guess comes true, the saint's civilized front will cover the entire northern continent for a thousand years. It’s a miracle that such a magnificent technique can be established, and what’s even more incredible is that it has continued to operate for thousands of years!
This is no longer a magic trick, it is enough to establish the great cause of a country. Jago stood up in shock on the spot. He was so anxious that his voice trembled: "Mr. Gongsun, why didn't you tell me this until now? Please give the record to the church for a look. This is a precious authentic work of a saint. !!”
Gongsun Ce smiled awkwardly, thinking that if he shook out all the idle words of the saint, many priests in the church would become unstable. The Dawn Knight promptly smoothed things over for him: "Please understand that Ce concealed the information to ensure that the information would not be leaked, and also because he himself had not yet determined this conjecture. It was not until Gray died that we understood Gaius' true identity. intention."
Gongsun Ce nodded: "Gray can succeed because she is the queen of the kingdom, but the area of United States is not wider than Albion Island, and it will not be so simple to fully activate the spell. If Gaius also wants to use the civilized front, then he You should try to hold as many totems as possible - that is, the 'anchors' of the battle line - in your hands."
"Guerrilla warfare spread all over the United States..." John pondered. "Both the enemy and ourselves have high-level combat forces. It is easy to be surrounded by others if we attack alone. We should invade in a small area at the border of the forces and seek opportunities to attack in one fell swoop."
"I agree with your opinion. Gaius's side should also choose the same strategy, so in the next period of time we will find a suitable place to stay, and we will focus on defensive warfare for the time being." Gongsun Ce spread out the map, Pointing towards the fiery red area in the southeastern part of Hezhu, "The next stop is tentatively decided to be the Fire Wind State."
"Go back to my hometown!" Caldesia cheered.
"Not only are you going back to your hometown, but you are also going to the headquarters of the church forces." Gongsun Ce squinted, "Everyone pack your things and leave as soon as possible in the next two days. Do you have any questions?"
One of the attendees stretched out a hesitant hand, and Yun Yinglang looked like she had been holding it in for a long time.
"Well, the enemy is the Vice President of United, right? Then why don't we just go to Meteor City and kill him?"
Gongsun Ce let out a long sigh and put on a gentle smile.
"Let me tell you about the current high-level lineup of the enemy on the surface. Hong Yiqing has not made a clear stance yet. The only clear opposition is the champion of the final realm of martial arts, the person who masters the purification of power, the art of returning to heaven, and the impermanence of law. The Lord Yinlu, who is extremely powerful and has the ability to become invisible, and Situ Yi, who is at the peak of Creation. In the worst case scenario, we have to include the Dragon of Obsidian Transformation and even the phantom... Do you think we can win if we go up to A?"
Yun Yinglang's face turned pale: "We seem to have no chance of winning..."
"I can tell you for sure that if these people could work together, we would be dead now." Gongsun Ce said, "This is their disadvantage and our advantage. We are not a piece of iron, at least we are old." Familiar, behind us is Cangdu's support. So don't think about starting a fight before you are ready, I want to kill directly more than any of you. Who has any questions?"
"What should I do about Servais?" Qiluo asked in a low voice, "I don't think anyone on the Internet is talking about angels... This is obviously something wrong, right?"
No one made any movement this time, not to mention the few people who came from Cangdu who couldn't figure out the situation. Even Gongsun Ce and his party, who had been active in the northern continent for a long time, were also confused.
That night, the angel summoned by Servais was so powerful that people in the whole city could see the vision. But the strange thing is that more than a day has passed since the incident, but no one from the public has mentioned it. Even the people in the church have said that there is no such thing. This incident seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, like a collective hallucination that only they had experienced. Only the unconscious ranger himself confirmed the reality of the memory.
"We will discuss this matter alone later..." Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and stood up first, "I will go to check on Servais's condition later. Sister Maho, please give her a physical examination. The meeting is adjourned now."
