Wasteland Echoer

"Long live!"

"Long live Crusted!"

"Long live Commander Vasily!"

As soon as Vasili finished reporting on the battlefield situation in specific areas, the audience burst into long-lasting applause and shouts. These chiefs who can make all the difference in the area, when faced with the most powerful figure in Crusted, , or invariably, either from the heart, or forced to do so, trying their best to show their loyalty and excitement for the future of the Federation.

The applause and chants lasted for a full 360 seconds before gradually stopping.

Vasily, on the other hand, had already handed over all the quoted materials to Kuka. He picked up the last large notebook with a black leather cover, slowly opened it to the back page, and continued to report:

“Next, I will tell you about the development of the overall war situation and future ideas for the administrative and military chiefs who manage provinces and strongholds.

"Since the Zinni people's efforts to restore [order] with all their national strength failed 30 years ago, in the entire world, except for the unenterprising Khitanris, we are the only ones left with strength, the Crusaders. Eliminate the "unintentional people" and transform the "lost people" in order to usher in the victory of the war, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the continuation of human civilization.

"This is the only goal in my life, and it is also the ultimate goal of all creatures who claim to be human. To this end, I have proposed a 'four-step strategy'. First, consolidate the urban strongholds that have been built in various places to ensure that Lost, and expand outward in a timely manner. Second, contact all human and federal collaborators, whether it is the 'Lost Organization' or the 'Independent Armed Forces'. Third, expand material and energy production within the contiguous control area. , providing a steady stream of reserve supplies for the war, and simultaneously deciphering and replicating the advanced technology of the old empire.

"The fourth and most important point is to open up a lasting battlefield after grasping the movements of the 'Wuxin' and the hostile lost people behind them, gradually attracting the 'Wuxin' to a wide area, and carry out the final It is also the largest decisive battle."

When Vasily said this, his throat felt itchy. He paused, took a sip of hot water from the thermos cup, and continued:

“Currently, the provinces that the federation has full control over are the Iceland Province, the Rus Province, and the Waters Province. The areas under semi-control are the South Karlov District, the Arctic Zone, the Koenig Province, the Icefield Province, and the Far East Central District. The cities dominated by "Wuxin" that are not currently controlled by the Federation are the North Karloff District, Nanshan District, Far Northeast District and Far Southeast District, where there are more "Warriors". More difficult.

"At the beginning of the year, the 'Order' of the Church of the Lost has successfully reached cooperation with the Federation. Although there have been some unpleasant episodes, our common goals are progressing. With their assistance, the 'Wuxin Man' in Mayang City has The wave has been repulsed, and the road from the capital city to Demonic City is quickly becoming smooth again. Independent armed forces and "independent personnel" from various places that are not temporarily under federal jurisdiction have begun to sell goods, weapons and canned food between the two places. Under extremely unfavorable conditions Under the conditions, trade began to recover.

"At the same time, the 'Corona Association', 'Chaos Group' and 'Comprehension Sect' that were defeated by us announced their surrender to the Federation last week. The new pseudo-leader of the 'Chaos Group', Yato, and the pseudo-priest of the 'Comprehension Sect' took the lead. ' and 'Song Wu', the pseudo-new president of the 'Corona Association', officially submitted a personnel list and a map of settlements to the Federation, announcing that they would no longer oppose the Federation and would obey our dispatch when necessary.

"Although I still have doubts about their sincerity in surrender, it has to be said that this is the joint efforts of all of us Crusted [soldiers]. Moreover, now, the Federation has reproduced nearly 90% of the old empire's military products , as for the information about aerospace and mysticism that was rescued from the Kushen ruins last month, our scientists are currently interpreting it.

"Finally, what I want to say is the progress of the 'Universal Energy Evolution Platform' plan, a grand plan to gather solar energy and eliminate 'Heartless People' with all our strength. At present, we have found the [wind-related core] Our scientists have already settled in the Joigrad Evolution Platform, which represents the 'Tianquan', and are trying to start it.

"The other two groups responsible for the 'Evolution Platform' project have also made considerable progress. Igor's team, who studied the [Core Similar to Gods], not only successfully stimulated its power, allowing the testers to briefly possess the power of a god, We also found the general direction of the evolution platform representing the 'Tianshu'. As long as we successfully break through the wind wall and find the 'Resounder' and 'Plamini', the location of the relevant 'evolution platform' will be clear.

"The Ross team responsible for studying the [Core to the Future] has also roughly determined the location of the 'Evolution Platform' representing the 'Tianji'. They are just waiting for Commander-in-Chief Yaroslav to completely eliminate the 'unintentional people' east of the 'Man-Made Lake' 'After that, you can try to enter. When all the 'evolution platforms' rise from the ground, the light of the sun will shine on the land of Crusted, all evil spirits will be eliminated, and a new era for mankind is about to come.

"Of course, before that, what we need to do is to complete all war preparations before the decisive battle. Now, let's ask our 'Army Commander-in-Chief' and 'Counter-offensive Commander-in-Chief' Gennady Rurik to tell us about the current main battle in the western front. The specific situation of the battlefield and the 'Gnady Line of Defense'!"

After Vasily finished speaking, he slowly walked down from the stage of the large conference room amidst even more intense and manic applause. After waving to the crowd, he sat in the middle of the first row of seats below, where he placed the writing papers upright. The position of the signature of his name.

Soon, the person standing in front of the "Cruzd Federal Administrative Divide Map" became Gnady.

He paused for a moment, briefly greeted Vasily, and then began to speak in a thick and decent voice:

"There have been more than 500 large-scale conquests in the Karlof area in the past dynasties. It is difficult to discuss the rights and wrongs. However, historians have all noticed that it was on this ancient battlefield that the rise and fall of so many families ushered in. There is a rise and a fall, so since ancient times there has been a saying of seeking the top spot in Krusted.

"At that time, Ivan I led his troops to besiege Budadi City in three groups, marched westward, and captured the Karlov area. The next day, the gate was closed and disappeared. In January 549 of the New Year, also It was in the vast Karloff Zone that I had the honor to personally lead hundreds of thousands of [soldiers] to conquer the 'Chaos Group' and the 'Enlightenment Sect', and achieved a great victory.

"Wherever the federal troops and chariots go, humans and supernatural beings are wholeheartedly welcomed. As the Khitanris say, they have the right time, place and people. That kind of plant is like a plant that thrives under the sunlight and is frozen by the ice. The divine creation where all things are liberated from the cold silence and come to life and burst into life is as if it happened yesterday.

"Why, in just the past eight years, has the balance of war changed from being completely controlled by humans to being dominated by the lost and the 'unintentional'? Obviously after experiencing the wise decisions of administrators from Mendolev to Viking, we can Perfectly coping with the 'wave of unintentional people' in various places, but now, when weapons and resources have gradually reached their post-New Yuan peak, they frequently encounter setbacks on the frontal battlefield? "

Gennadi's question was like a bomb dropped into a pond full of turbulent lava, causing an uproar like the "fire of punishment" coming.

Of course, he belongs to the "Viking faction". After Oleg's death, he almost became the protagonist of this force that fought openly and secretly with Vasily. But obviously, today he is not here to take the opportunity to slander or attack Vasily. Everyone knows the unfavorable situation ahead.

Now, in the Karlof region, a vast land filled with artillery fire and the smell of blood, the federal military power is like a "sweet-smelling" cub placed in the mouth of a half-asleep and hungry beast. Generally, as long as you are not careful, this beast will be driven by instinct and completely bite this "seemingly innocent" cub.

Fortunately, the noisy discussion only lasted for more than ten seconds and ended abruptly when Vasily coughed seriously. Gennady cleared his throat and asked himself:

"From perfection to frustration, that's because the 'unintentional people' and the lost ones are gradually becoming stronger. They have changed from being scattered, unorganized and relying on instinct to act now united, organized and following orders.

"After the two waves of 'unintentional people' at the beginning of the year, I found that these 'unintentional people' began to have a purpose. Therefore, I asked Chief Vasily to allocate resources to build an offensive 'Gnadi Defense Line' . Our army has successfully entered and firmly controlled Konigrad, Budadi, Mayan, Xinfeng Town, Kanosk, Vasilysk, and the 'Man-made Lake' military camp, and has built a A semicircular defense line that was successfully connected.

"Yes, the 'Man-made Lake' theater under the command of Commander-in-Chief Yaroslav is the last link of the defense line. The complete victory of the 'Suffering Deep War' battle also marked the official completion of our siege of the 'Wuxinren'. In the past, we They all mistakenly believe that the 'Order Society', the 'Chaos Group' and the 'Enlightenment Sect' are the culprits who command the 'Heartless Men' to invade the Federation, but in fact, the one who hides behind all the Lost Ones and humans controls the vast majority of them. The organization with darkness as its totem that launched an attack on the Federation is the culprit. They call themselves the "Spear of Odyssey". They have a total of 8 leaders, who are called "Muyuan" internally. "

The so-called "Muyuan" is called the "source of the Patriarch" from the perspective of the central empire. The Krusted Empire and the Federation, which accepted the central culture, understood it as the "source of the patriarchal controller" and was the first In the magic-filled era before the Second Era, higher-level clergy controlled a large number of Orthodox Patriarchs.

The rank of ordinary clergy usually does not exceed rank 5: pain. They can deal with some small beasts and monsters, as well as the injuries and diseases of ordinary believers, and they still have the ability to summon low-level holy light. The "Muyuan" can formulate church rules, carry out important activities of the orthodox bishops, and influence the emperor's decision-making. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary patriarchs.

"Muyuan" usually have the strength from Sequence 4: Hope to Sequence 1: Confusion, strong vitality, and even have a certain degree of godhood, and have the ability to communicate directly with gods under specific conditions. When the emperors of the Central Empire were hesitant about national affairs, they usually did not ask citizens, believers and merchants, but chose to consult gods and devils.

In that era of magic, the "Muyuan" held a high position of power, and even generals and kings with heavy troops were unwilling to conflict with them. However, since the Third Era, especially after the "First Furnace of Steel Incident", the magic source power began to become thinner quickly, and the "Muyuan" people also quickly "disappeared from everyone" and disappeared into history.

Countries that believed in Orthodox bishops began to support the "Patriarch" as the leader of the church, preventing gods from overriding the emperor.

But this time, after the fog was finally cleared and the identity of the Lost One who manipulated millions of "unintentional people" to fight against the Federation was finally revealed, the administrative and military leaders present took a breath. If "Muyuan" was really With the power at that moment, the Federation's war would fall into the quagmire of failure.

However, unlike the sad faces of the people in the audience, Gennadi had a weird smile on his face. After looking around contemptuously at the people present, he said confidently:

"However, the era of steam and wasteland is an era of technology, and the 'Heartless Man' is also a representative of the ultimate darkness and sin. The Lord will not condone the people in charge of darkness to usurp His authority, even if the 'Heartless Man' is the right person As punishment for mankind, the Creator will never let darkness control the land, mountains, rivers and sky.

"Currently, there are 350,000 facial [warriors] stationed on the Gnady defense line, 17,000 people with special abilities, and a total of 550,000 armed forces from various places, totaling 917,000. We have all kinds of guns, handguns There are a total of more than 2.25 million cannons and bazookas, 120,000 artillery pieces, and 375 fighter jets. Due to the sufficient ore, gunpowder and steel coordinated by Chief Vasily from various places, this number will only show an increasing trend.

"The complete victory of the 'Battle of the Artificial Lake' allowed us to unlock more old Imperial weapons. Samples of the electromagnetic pulse rifle, laser point cannon, enhanced version of Thermite's Final Silence, Stern Armor and Ivanka's Hammer have been produced. , we will be able to mass-produce them soon. No matter what, even though we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, in terms of weapons and equipment, we are 10,000 against 0. In short, the advantage is mine!"

After Gennady's report ended, the entire large conference room suddenly became silent. It was not until Vasily stood up from his seat and applauded Gennady Rurik in person that the whole audience burst into warm applause, and Fierce, hoarse, hysterical roaring.

The people present were still shouting "victory" and "future". At Vasily's request, they all walked up to the podium area at the front of the venue one floor above the ground, imagining that the "Gnadi Defense Line" could " The "Heartless Man" and the "Spear of Odyssey" were besieged in the Karloff area. After all the "Universal Energy Evolution Platforms" were opened, they relied on the power of solar nuclear fusion continuously transmitted to "purify" everything with the hottest fire. The "unintentional people" usher in the "restart era" within reach.

At the same time, Vasily pressed the red switch in his hand, and immediately, an iron mesh fence rose up behind everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the large Krusted map in front of him sank rapidly, leaving behind a bottomless ravine that seemed to exude the faint smell of darkness. The lights went out one after another, and the noisy "clang" of metal operations began to be heard from around him. "sound.

The entire cage-like platform of oppression rose slowly. After finally stopping, everyone came to a cylindrical enclosed area that looked like an ancient arena from the inside. Although there are only two exceptionally bright ones here, they can only illuminate a corner of the searchlight, as well as many dim and faint lights emitting blue fluorescence.

This is the underground level of the "Ape Domain Main Hall", the "Federal Supreme Meeting Hall".

However, every ring-shaped seat protruding from the inner wall of the column was filled with people. Under the light, they only revealed their abnormally crazy and excited heads, as well as their slightly bloody fists raised above their heads and their arms covered with terrible dust.

They were extremely manic, but their steps were unusually consistent. When they saw Vasily standing on the central "stage" with administrative and military governors from various places, they collectively let out beast-like cries.

"Dear Crusted Human Representatives, the 'First Battle Analysis Conference' belonging to our administrative and military chiefs has ended, and the meeting belonging to the Crusted nation and the future has just begun. Now, let us work for the Federation Cheers to the victorious future and the arrival of the visible 'Restart Era'!"

"For victory!"

"For victory!"

"For victory!" all "human representatives" collectively shouted.

…

The "deep sorrow" part is over!
