Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 796
[Chapter 778 Elimination and Union]
The confrontation on the sea has turned into a more complicated situation – a powerful sea fog fleet emerged from the cold wind. A fourth force appeared in the original three-party confrontation. However, looking at it from another angle, things seem simple. got up.
Cold Harbor and the Morpheus navy no longer have to worry about the artillery fire from the opposite side and the deterrence of the church fleet.
Solenna stared at the steel face, with no fear or any wavering in his eyes – although he knew the ability of this “Steel Vice Admiral”, he also knew that the Sea Mist Fleet was not invincible. The Undead can control the two flagships through sneak attacks, but they cannot control the other ships in the fleet. If this really turns into a melee, it will not be a good thing for anyone.
Tirian Abnomar chose to meet in this way, indicating that he wanted to “talk.”
“Cold Harbor needs sunshine.” After a long confrontation, Solena broke the silence with a deep voice.
“Yes, Cold Harbor needs sunshine, and now the commander of Morpheus Navy, your old friend Hobo, is also telling me that Morpheus needs sunlight,” the steel-faced mouth opened and closed, It made a sound with a metallic trembling, “And you know? Yotun City, Hyper, Bandor Island, further away Phaelun, Moko… Darkness has begun to encroach on this world, and the island with the protection of the sun It’s just a small part of all city-states… everyone needs sunshine.”
The muscles on Solenna’s face tensed, but his voice was calmer than before: “Captain Tirian, do you think it is useful to say this now? ? I want to let Cold Harbor survive first – unless you are willing to take out the ‘sun fragment’ that fell in the frost.” ”
…It is already on the way to Cold Harbor.” The steel face was calm. said.
A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Solena’s tense face – he had prepared many things to say, but this unexpected answer left his mind a little blank.
Even the entire bridge suddenly became quiet.
“Return now, you should just be able to see it arrive at the north coast of Cold Harbor,” Tirian’s voice echoed on the quiet bridge, while the undead sailors, wrapped in the cold mist, let go in silence. Taking control of the bridge sailors, he stepped back as if on standby, “Let the Morpheus Navy take away the sun fragments here before this confrontation gets out of control.”
Solena was silent for a few seconds, He spoke slowly: “What about Hanshuang?”
“Hanshuang is safer than all of you think – we have our own ‘security’ and you don’t need to worry,” Tirian said calmly, “You and Hobo are the most vulnerable right now. The important task is to return to their respective city-states and get everything back on track as soon as possible under the sunshine.”
“…What do you want?” Solenna said suddenly, “There is no free lunch in the world, this is a simple truth I still understand – tell me what you think, Archon Tirian.”
“…I need to establish a ‘joint mechanism’ that operates under night conditions,” the steel face looked into Solenna’s eyes, “Dominated by frost, covering the entire cold sea – I need the full support of Cold Harbor and Port Murphys.”
Solena pondered for a moment, and soon guessed the intention of the “Steel Vice Admiral”, He frowned and subconsciously looked up to look for the three Death Church warships that were originally cruising on the edge of “Sunshine”, but found that the three ships had arrived near the Sea Fog Fleet at some point and stayed on the sea as if they were part of the formation. Next to the foghorn.
“…I understand, get sunshine, take responsibility, and those who don’t want to take responsibility…we will deal with it,” he retracted his gaze from the porthole window and nodded to the steel face, “over there with Hobo…”
“He was three seconds earlier than you promised.” Tirian said calmly.
“Okay, I have no doubts.”
The undead people retreated into the fog in silence, and the cold fog condensed with ice crystals gradually dissipated on the bridge. The large pieces of broken ice floating on the sea shrank in size at a speed visible to the naked eye—— The deterrent effect of the Sea Mist Fleet on both sides of the confrontation was lifted.
A creaking sound came from the receiver hanging next to the communication station, and the indicator light next to it flickered on and off – the communication soldier raised his head hesitantly and looked at his commander.
Solenna’s voice was cold: “Pick it up, do you want me to say anything else?”
The communications soldier picked up the receiver and raised his eyes after a moment: “It’s Morpheus’s public channel…”
Solenna said with no surprise. With an expression on his face, he stepped forward to take the receiver, put it to his ear, and listened to the voice coming from inside –
“Solenna, listen, after I go back…”
“You can tell my nephew everything that happened today – or I’ll tell him personally later.”
“…You’re such a fucking bastard.”
“Yes, thank you, you too.”
“…Yes, thank you, bye.”
Solena put down the receiver, Looking beyond the wide porthole in front, he looked at the boundless sea shrouded in night – the fleet of sea fog lingering in the biting cold wind was slowly moving into the distance, sinking into darkness little by little.
Looking at the pale golden “sunshine” that was gradually fading on the nearby sea, Tirian, who was standing on the bow of the ship, took a deep breath. After a long silence, he turned his head slightly and said to the side: “Do you think this result is okay?”
“There is no better choice, this is the best result.” In the darkness, a low and hoarse voice broke the silence, and a tall and muscular figure wearing a long black windbreaker and covered with thick bandages walked out of the darkness. came out, “Sunshine is limited, and the past way of survival of each city-state on its own is no longer feasible. Only a joint system based on a strong center can allow as many people as possible to survive –
“Sunshine rationing system, joint defense fleet , macro-control of resources, and group prevention and group control of various threats in the night, all of which require the establishment of a coalition to achieve. Originally this task should be completed by the church, but now their power is limited. ”
Tirion looked at the three church warships whose shadows were dim in the night. After a few seconds of silence, he said: “To drag a piece of sun fragment from Frost to Cold Harbor, the most powerful high-speed towing ship will also be used. It takes six days, which is also the average time required to transfer sun fragments between most city-states in the Cold Sea…
“If a city-state without ‘sunlight’ encounters a sudden change, the time it takes to wait for ‘sunshine’ is enough to cause disaster. Control, so we need to keep several huge fleets that can support various city-states at any time – these fleets must cruise non-stop in the night, and coupled with the church’s patrol fleet, they should be able to cover the entire Cold Sea… But also It can only cover the Cold Sea.”
“It’s enough that it can cover the Cold Sea. Other sea areas should also have their own plans.” Duncan shook his head. “Compared to this, you asked me to cover the Frost Sun. Is there no doubt that the fragments were sent to Cold Harbor?”
Tirian shook his head: “No.”
He turned around and faced the bandaged eyes calmly.
“If it occupies the most sunlight, then I will never be able to convincingly establish a reliable and fair ‘Cold Sea Union’. In any case, as long as I want to be the one who distributes sunlight, I cannot fragment the sun. Stay in Frost,” he said unhurriedly, and then suddenly smiled, “And… Frost’s real protection now is your flame, isn’t it?”
Duncan didn’t speak, but nodded slightly.
Tirian hesitated for a while, and finally couldn’t help but ask: “How is the situation ‘over there’?”
“We are sailing in the cracks of time, and we don’t know how long it will last.”
Duncan said casually, and then He looked down at his body – he was actually surprised. Originally, he had been prepared to temporarily lose contact with his “incarnations” after crossing the six-mile critical line, but now it seems…these incarnations Still running well.
He can talk to Tirian here, and he can also perceive the situation on Purander’s side normally. At the same time, his main consciousness still stays on the Lost Home, experiencing a journey to the end of the world—— This experience is amazing.
He noticed the glances coming from beside him.
“I didn’t take you with me on this trip, but took your sister with me.” Duncan raised his eyelids and glanced at Tirian, “Do you have any resentment?”
Tirian was startled, and he straightened his expression in an instant, with a look in his one eye. He also returned to his usual calm and serious look: “No, I know what I should do – your arrangement is reasonable.”
Listening to the other party’s pretentious response, Duncan didn’t say anything, just the corners of his eyes covered by bandages emerged. A smile appeared.
He turned and looked into the distance with Tirian.
After an unknown amount of time, Tirian suddenly heard a voice coming from his ear –
“Let as many people survive as possible and live as long as possible.”
He turned his head in surprise.
“You, Lucy, and everyone on the Lost Home, everyone in the city-state, each of you has something to do, and the common goal of everything is to survive – to make this world Preserve everything as much as possible, life, memory, civilization, everything, do your best to keep them alive.”
The father did not look back, UU Reading www.uuuhuunet He was still looking into the distance, but he continued calmly Said – as if talking to himself, but also as if he was exhorting.
“Even if the sun no longer rises, even if the night finally swallows up everything, even if the real world has begun to collapse, and the future seems hopeless, we must remember this… to survive, even if it lasts one more day.
“That’s all you need to do.
“Leave the rest to dad, dad will figure it out.”
Tirian looked at his father in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn’t speak for a long time.
Duncan didn’t speak any more. He just looked in front of the bow and at the end of the night –
in his other field of vision, some blurry lights and shadows suddenly appeared in the uniform gray-white “background color”.
The “route” caught in the gap between time and space seems to be coming to an end.
