Chapter 547
Chapter 546: Snowy Region, Alchemy, and Divine Harmony!
"Pontiff An Ning, please first explain the situation to everyone."
Inside the inner hall of Zichen Hall, the Emperor sat upright on the Golden Dragon Throne, and said in a deep voice to the man below the platform, who had silver hair reaching his waist and an appearance even more handsome than a beauty by a few points.
"Yes, His Majesty!"
Pontiff An Ning respectfully bowed and responded. After standing up, his gaze swept towards the six important Higher-ups of The Empire beside him.
General Bols, an Admiral of the Air Force Unit.
Responsible for guarding the Imperial Capital, as well as being ready at any time to provide air Support for the Army and Marines currently engaged in Conquest on the east and west sides.
Gozuchi.
The Deputy Commander of 'Oarburgh', the strongest special intelligence agency directly subordinate to the Emperor.
As for why the Commander himself didn't come, that's a bit complicated.
Najenda.
The Minister of the Imperial Intelligence Division.
All Matters related to Intelligence are the responsibility of this woman.
But they only have the Authority to investigate; specific Operations must still be handed over to the relevant Departments.
Doctor Stylish.
The Minister of the Imperial Science Department, dubbed the most astonishing all-around Scientist in the past five hundred years.
As for Minister of Internal Affairs Saul and Minister of Finance Ezra.
Their Position titles have already explained everything.
The entire operation of The Empire's Government Affairs is presided over by the two of them.
Although a few others have not all arrived.
But Pontiff An Ning felt it was already enough to deal with the sudden threat from the north.
"I believe everyone knows that due to a certain special reason, I possess the special Ability of Dream Precognition. On the night two days ago, I dreamed of a Screen Feed that sent a chill down my spine..."
He first used ten minutes to narrate his Dream.
Then he also took out several Sketches he had specially drawn over the past two days for the six people to view.
Predictably, General Bols, Gozuchi, and the other six people reacted as if they were hearing a fantasy.
Their faces were full of astonishment and doubt, but they still took the Sketches and read through them in turn.
After finishing reading, the Atmosphere inside the hall became unusually oppressive.
Although it was hard to believe, combined with Pontiff An Ning's words and drawings, they had no choice but to believe that this was a fact.
Perhaps.
Just as they were gathered here discussing, the Blue Light Portal shown in the drawing might have already appeared in a certain Snow Mountain in the north, with various strange figures walking out from inside...
At this moment, the Emperor on the platform spoke again: "All my beloved ministers, tell me your thoughts."
"Your Majesty, your humble subject believes the most pressing Matter should be to immediately dispatch intelligence personnel to the Northern Snowy Region to investigate, and then Order Prince Saiken of the Northern Ethnic Autonomous Region to mobilize Troops and maintain Vigilance!"
Minister of Internal Affairs Saul was the first to step forward without yielding and spoke in a deep voice.
Najenda and Gozuchi exchanged a glance. The former took a step forward and agreed, saying:
"Your Majesty, after your humble subject returns, I will immediately dispatch an intelligence team. Considering the potential Combat conflicts, I propose that the 'Oarburgh' side also send Personnel!"
"Your humble subject suspects that these Influence/Power that suddenly appeared in the north are very likely from the Alchemy Kingdom in the west, because only their Alchemy could possibly Research and develop a light portal with Spatial Teleportation Ability."
Gozuchi respectfully faced the Emperor and reported.
"Indeed!"
After the Emperor heard him finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of realization. Pontiff An Ning below the platform also gently nodded in agreement.
In their World, Matters related to Supernatural Ability, except for the Technological Creations invented by Doctor Stylish.
Most are related to the magical Creatures which they call 'Danger Beasts'.
And Alchemy can utilize the biological Materials of these 'Danger Beasts', combined with exquisite craftsmanship, to create items with supernatural Functions.
This type of item are called 'Imperial Arms' and 'Ministerial Arms'.
The key point is that the Country where Alchemy is most developed is not The Empire.
But rather the Alchemy Kingdom of the Western foreign races, abbreviated as 'Alchemy Kingdom'.
"If it really is them, then they are likely preparing to break into our heartland from the north, or else directly occupy the Northern Snowy Region and encircle The Empire together with their own Troops from the west!"
General Bols emitted an overbearing presence from his whole body, gazing towards the northern Direction, and said in a deep voice.
"Najenda, Gozuchi, time waits for no one. You two go first. It's best to eliminate those Personnel who trespassed before War breaks out. Oh, right, make sure to Capture Alive a few Captives!"
The Emperor looked at the two people below the platform and instructed them.
"Yes, His Majesty!"
Najenda and Gozuchi replied in unison. Without hesitation, they turned and quickly left Zichen Hall. Both of them attached great Importance to this Matter.
Inside the hall.
The Emperor's gaze turned from their backs to General Bols' side and asked: "Then, General, do you have a countermeasure?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, Prince Saiken's Strength is far stronger than the Vice Admirals in the Military, only below this humble general and others. Plus, the Northern Autonomous Region is still stationed with three hundred thousand troops. According to common sense, it should be enough to deal with the small contingent of Troops sent by the other side, but..."
General Bols became hesitant at this point. The Emperor waved his hand, signaling him to continue speaking. Seeing this, the former also no longer had any scruples and spoke boldly.
"But regarding the loyalty of Prince Saiken and the Northern foreign races to The Empire, this humble general still has some doubts!"
As soon as these words came out, the Expressions of the Emperor and the other few people became solemn. Only Doctor Stylish seemed completely unconcerned about these Matters, instead stroking his chin and looking back and forth at the light portal in the drawing.
General Bols also didn't pay attention to him and continued to state his thoughts.
"Over these years, in order to deal with the Wars in the west and east, The Empire has conscripted Soldiers from the Northern Autonomous Region far more times than from other regions. This is partly because the Snowy Region is harsh and cold, and the Troops' quality is extremely high, and partly to suppress their Population and Influence/Power."
"This has also caused those foreign races in the Northern Autonomous Region to feel dissatisfaction, and their Attitude of dissatisfaction is becoming increasingly obvious. This is very likely to be exploited by those Personnel who are eighty percent likely from the west."
He was still a bit polite after all, not speaking too bluntly, but the Emperor and others could naturally understand the deeper meaning within.
"Then what do you mean?"
"This humble general's meaning is that we cannot completely hand over the north of the Imperial Capital to Prince Saiken and them. Instead, we should transfer an Army Unit from the Battlefield in the west and establish a second Defense Line around Mount Famu in the north!"
General Bols said decisively: "By cooperating with this humble general's Air Force Unit, no matter what Situation occurs, we can hold out until other Troops arrive!"
"Okay, let's do that."
The Emperor thought for a moment and also felt that doing this was more secure. But just as his voice fell, a doubtful voice emitted by Doctor Stylish rang out inside the hall.
"How strange..."
"Doctor, have you discovered anything?"
Without raising his head, Doctor Stylish stared at the several Sketches in his hand and replied.
"You all guessed that this light portal is a creation of the Alchemy Kingdom, but quite a few of the people in these two drawings have black hair and black eyes, and their Attire is all Eastern-style Short Sword coarse cloth. The Weapons in their hands are also never-before-seen black Daggers."
"Also, the things the Black-Clad Soldiers are riding in this fourth drawing, rather than saying it's an Alchemical Creation, I think it's more like a Technological Creation. And the Weapons they carry on their backs look like Long Sabers. Why aren't they Firearms?"
At this moment, General Bols walked over and also took another two glances. He said: "It shows they believe that compared to things like Rifles, using the Blades on their backs is more convenient. This is strong confidence in their own Swordsmanship."
"Looking at it this way, it might also not be the Alchemy Kingdom, but rather that Divine Harmony Island Nation in the east. If that's really the case, then it shows they are already somewhat unable to hold on under General Esdeath's attack. That's why they would think of causing trouble in the north to tie us down..."
