Chapter 593: 593
Touching the Future
“We have reached the designated location!”
Explosions and gunshots echoed in the distance as the United Navy advanced in silence.
They had to thank the infrastructure of the Broken Islands as a tourist resort. After leaving Long Beach, the road became flat and wide. A five-kilometer march was not a problem for these elite soldiers who did not carry much weight. Moreover, they had the support of spellcasters and potions.
About 20 minutes later, the navies of the various countries boarded the observation deck area of the central island.
This was a famous scenic spot on the central island. From here, one could see more than half of the broken sea. It was located halfway up the mountain and was man-made. There were wide and stable slopes on both sides, and it was a protruding platform. In terms of terrain, it was high and dangerous enough.
The mage’s entourage flew into the sky to look down and draw a simple map. The field commander, Quillion, held a freshly baked sheepskin scroll and walked around the wide platform, giving orders without stopping.
Moreover, her mouth was full of fragrance, completely throwing the elegance and arrogance of elves to the back of her mind.
“Listen up, you sh * t. Move immediately! Did His Highness Kant and Lord Horus rescue a bunch of sh * t buckets? Did you just crawl out from under your mother? Even so, bite off that damn umbilical cord immediately, because those terrible things in the sea are about to attack! I want you to immediately restore your system and accept reorganization. Even if you are…”
The captain, whose saliva flew everywhere, was extremely aggressive and violent, completely different from his previous appearance.
Whether it was the sailors under his command or the soldiers on other ships, they all fell silent under the terrifying verbal violence and the terrifying gaze that seemed to want to devour them. No one dared to stand still and stare blankly. They all gathered in the direction of their respective officers. They all smelled something bad.
Spellcasters enjoyed a certain degree of immunity. After all, they were high-tech military personnel, so they had to have a higher status and preferential treatment. Moreover, mages knew what they had to do.
Halsey, the Son of Typhoon, was gathered with the other three ships ‘Chief Mages to arrange the deployment of the spell formation. They also had to select a team to control the magic devices of the few fortresses on the island.
They were discussing matters at a table and drawing complicated geometric figures. Halsey glanced at Commander Quillion who was cursing in the distance and lowered his voice.” I say, what’s wrong with him? It looks like a male turkey trying to find a mate.”
“I don’t know.”
” What?” Quillion’s partner, the chief mage of the Evergreen Song, also looked confused.” To be honest, the last time I saw him this excited was 135 years ago when he tried to woo a Countess. In order to show the beautiful and noble elf the results of his army, he… Tsk…”
From the way the elven mage shook his head and sighed, it was obvious that his pursuit was unsuccessful.
“But…”
“There doesn’t seem to be any ladies here,” the chief mage of the Empire on the Snowpeak said softly.
Then, he attracted the meaningful gazes of the two elven mages in front of him.
The chief mage of the Floating Shadow chuckled with the pride and reservation of an elf.” Sir, no offense, but you know that for long-lived species, it’s not a big deal to change their style, inclination, and thoughts at a certain stage of their lives. As we’ve always said, these are precious and unique experiences in the long river of fate.”
The short-lived creature subconsciously shrunk its butt.
There were also differences between spellcasters. Compared to elves, human spellcasters still had short lifespans, so they fought for every second. However, their desire for progress and knowledge had not been extinguished. In the end, they would all become sugar-craving fat balls that had no chance with women. On the other hand, elves were much more satisfied. It was really unwilling to think about it.
But he was still curious,”So what exactly is Captain Quillion…”
Before they could finish their questions, they heard the commander’s voice change from his previous mouth full of fragrance and roar. His voice became extremely attentive and full of desire to show off, and there was also an indescribable awkwardness.
“Your Highness Kant! Welcome! We have arrived at the designated location! All soldiers will fight bravely under your glory and great protection! Awaiting your orders!”
Hiss.
In that instant, the four Chief Mages sucked in enough cold air to freeze an Ice Curse Dragon to death.
No way, no way, no way!
Moon Goddess, is this guy trying to steal the Empress ‘man?
They turned their heads stiffly.
Commander Quillion’s tough face revealed an unprecedented, extremely twisted, warm smile. The so-called iron man’s tenderness was nothing more than this.
Moreover, there was some kind of nervousness and uneasiness in this smile. That helpless and overly enthusiastic look reminded the mages of their innocent youth, but this scene could no longer make them smile. Instead, their faces were filled with subtlety, fear, and disbelief.
Halsey lowered his voice.” I used to think that you elves were arrogant and arrogant, but this is the only thing I have to say. You have guts. You have guts.”
” I’d like to make a bet,” said the Empire Mage.” Do you think Commander Quillion will be turned into minced meat by His Highness Kant’s cannon, or will he be chopped up by the Phoenix King and thrown into the sea?”
As for Kant…Kant tried his best to calm himself down and took half a step back without leaving a trace.
Damn it, if it wasn’t for the fact that it was not advisable to change generals at the last minute, I really wanted to kick him down the mountain and feed him to the sea monsters now.
No matter what, being stared at by an elf who was definitely more than two meters tall with a fawning and fanatical gaze, even if he had been through hundreds of battles, he still felt very terrifying.
Calm down, calm down, calm down.
Kant took a deep breath and controlled his expression to create the image of a cold, arrogant, and straight man. He did not waste any time on the other party and went straight to the point.” We will build a military fortress here to defend against the sea monsters that are attacking us. We will protect our soldiers and use long-range artillery to support the upcoming military operations.”
“Wise decision, my lord!”
” We are ready!” Quillion cheered.” We are waiting for your orders!”
“..”
Kant was silent for a moment.” I still admire your arrogant and unruly look more.”
The elf was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized what was going on. Ah! I actually forgot about this! Would His Highness Kant think highly of me just because I fawned over him like a court jester? Will you give me that sacred armor because of this?
No! He’s reminding me!”
” You’re right!” Quillion’s eyes became even more fanatical and moved when he thought of this. He shouted,” That’s true!” I feel extremely ashamed! Please allow me to use the blood of battle to prove my value and sincerity to you!”
Ah, you motherf * cker.
When this war is over, I’ll have Darian transfer you to a deserted island in the middle of nowhere.
Kant’s expression was cold as he walked towards the large platform. Quillon, who had a similarly cold expression, followed behind him without saying a word. He looked like a hawk and a wolf, and he looked like a tiger and a loyal dog.
The chief mages also walked over with subtle expressions.
At this moment, a raging fire had already ignited at the foot of the mountain. Black smoke filled the air, and the fierce fire stopped the sea monsters from advancing. However, from the big platform, the sea around the island was already surging with white waves. The undercurrents under the sea were surging, and countless monsters were gathering here.
“Everyone, you have already seen the situation we are facing now. We do not know what these monsters from the deep sea are, where they came from, or who released them. We also do not know what relationship the Broken Islands have with these monsters, but one thing is clear…”
“If we want to return to the distant harbor, we must find a way to deal with these monsters.”
” Otherwise, as you can see, under the threat of this monster, a long voyage means absolute danger.”
“We have to figure out where these things came from. We have to destroy them.”
” Therefore, I need your help, your experience, your knowledge, and your skills.”
Kant pointed at the flames below.” We will now build a military base here. It will serve as a base camp for support and logistics. You will fight here. First, protect yourself and reduce the burden of Horus ‘fire control. Second, gather manpower to participate in the upcoming combat missions.”
He turned around and looked at the officers present, as well as the soldiers who were slowly gathering.
There were more than a thousand soldiers, not too many nor too few.
” I won’t say too many words of encouragement and encouragement, but this battle is closely related to everyone. I hope that all of you can return to Distant Harbor alive and remember this common battle for the rest of your lives.”
” I think this war will be unforgettable for us. I’m also absolutely sure that this war is an honor and glory for all of you.”
” Because you will be fighting with futuristic military equipment and tactical support that far exceeds your understanding. You will personally experience the baptism of an unprecedented military revolution, and you will have logistics support that is unimaginable for every army since ancient times. This will eventually become the most precious asset, allowing you who survived this war to touch the future earlier and clearer than your comrades…”
” You will eventually understand that after you become officers or even generals, when you officially serve under me, or when you are still loyal to your motherland, the experience, experience, and knowledge of this war will continue to provide you with help. But that is a matter of the future, and now-”
Some of the soldiers were deep in thought when they heard Kant’s words, but most of them were confused and surprised.
This was not some kind of passionate battle mobilization that incited the will to fight. What Kant had said was too illusory. The soldiers who were in danger could not understand it, nor did they feel it was real.
However, this did not stop them from preparing to clap and cheer under the instructions of their respective superiors.
After all, it was one of the obligations of the soldiers in feudal and capitalist countries to listen to the silly big shots who came out of nowhere to give a speech and then applaud and cheer.
But that didn’t stop Kant from using his final words to stir up the group.
“And now!”
“Let me summarize what you have to do now!” He raised his King’s Finger.
” With the unlimited supply of dozens of free and steaming instant noodles, ham sausages, biscuits, dried meat, chocolate, candies, and drinks, and with the firepower assistance of Horus, who will blow up everything wherever he points, we will send any monsters who dare to resist and the idiots from the Broken Islands to eat sh * t. We will knock down all the idiots who dare to stop us from going home, and then swagger back to the distant port safely. To those stupid comrades who didn’t get to catch up with this good thing-bragging for a month!”
The soldiers were stunned at first, but then they let out heaven-shaking fanatical shouts and cheers. Whistles and praises were endless, and their morale was instantly boosted!
The uneasiness and fear of being forced to abandon the ship and escape and being trapped on this island were swept away!
The following events were extremely smooth. There was no need for the officers to scold and urge them. The navy had already taken action on their own initiative. The seats, restaurants, shops, and pavilions on the sightseeing platform were all demolished and thrown off the cliff. The mages were setting up positions, the elves were reorganizing the archer regiment, and the logistics team and engineers were preparing to build defensive fortifications.
The Realm Gate opened in the air.
Large ballistae descended from the sky and landed at the positions marked by the engineers. The navy soldiers cheered and climbed up to the ballistae to measure the distance.
Other than the Snowy Peak, Kant had taken the other three warships into the White Fog World. He had been coveting the magic core, which was the culmination of the magic alchemy system in the other world. This thing could probably be compared to the steam engine of Earth’s era. Of course, it was even more important than that.
Now, he finally had the chance to study it.
It didn’t matter if he used the ballista. It was just the embodiment of mechanical engineering and materials science. He just needed to keep a few of them.
The ballistae and mini magic devices of the various warships were all placed on the sightseeing platform. Then, they were immediately towed away by the navy to be fixed, set up, and began to be tested.
“Your Highness!”
Halsey hurried over and handed over a blueprint.” The Earth and Nature Magicians are already in position. The engineer battalion will cooperate with them. We will demolish the buildings and plants on the observation platform to obtain building materials. With this as the foundation, we will build a high defensive wall. The specific design is as follows…”
Kant did not even look at the blueprint. Instead, he handed Halsey an A4 paper.” You came at the right time. Leave the wall to me. I need the earth mages to dig out the foundation for me.”
Halsey took a look and said blankly,”This is…” The moat?”
“.. It’s the foundation. Go!”
“Yes, sir!”
Even the Chief Mage was a member of the navy. Obedience was the top priority. Soon, the Spell Casters followed the blueprint and used their magic devices as support. They shattered the bricks and pushed away the soil. Following Kant’s instructions, they dug a deep trench that surrounded the platform like a moat.
Then, the Realm Gate opened, and heavy metal pieces fell to the ground.
The mages watched in shock as sections of the steel walls fell from the sky and embedded themselves into the trenches. They were neatly arranged, and with a loud bang, they easily surrounded the entire platform. Towers, stairs, sandbags, and other modules fell to the ground. Horus controlled the small robots to crawl up and down, and used the electric welding device to complete the final fixing.
This was also the preparation Kant had made during this period of time.
Or rather, it was a war plan that had long been on the agenda.
The construction of the construction project was to use Earth’s powerful industrial capabilities to customize many semi-finished building materials that ” seemed to have no problems “. They would complete the final pre-packaging in the White Fog World, and then when needed, they would complete the instantaneous deployment in the other world. Walls, towers, turrets, fortifications, logistics armory, medical centers, and even more buildings.
It was foreseeable that this plan would provide Kant with an unprecedented deployment capability and a huge tactical advantage in the future when the military conflicts would inevitably become more intense and dangerous.
After all, the sound of doomsday was looming, the land from outer space was eyeing them covetously, the appearance of the element of contradiction, and information from the past and the future… All of this made Kant feel more and more threatened.
This protocol was named ” Command and Conquer.”
Fixed turrets, mortars, machine gun defenses, rocket launchers, and even heavy artillery.
Then there was the ammunition depot, medical center, and logistics kitchen.
Under the astonished gazes of the navy, an impregnable and terrifying defensive fortress was quickly built. In front of those ferocious and powerful alchemical weapons, the soldiers who were nervously adjusting the ballistae suddenly felt…It was dull.
” Don’t belittle yourself. Enchanted ballistae and magic devices can sometimes play an unexpected role.”
Kant consoled them. Then, he turned to the officers who were still in a daze.” But I still need the help of some soldiers who are quick to learn. Horus ‘energy is limited. Some weapons that require little skill and don’t have high requirements will be controlled by some of the navy soldiers.”
” My men and Horus will teach them how to fight. Don’t worry, it won’t be too difficult, especially against such a large number of enemies.”
” Gentlemen, you have 30 minutes to organize your troops into the battle system of this defensive fortress. Pick out the assault team that will seize the fortress’s magic device. Send the cook to the kitchen. Everyone is hungry!”
Kant’s voice rang in his ears.
Rockets shot into the sky in the distance. The turrets spun, and heavy artillery roared. Horus had already taken over the base’s fire control and began to fire at the sea monsters that were attacking in groups. The navy of the alliance fleet looked around blankly. Everything seemed like a dream. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the steel fortress from the beautiful observation platform. The smell of smoke and the luster of metal were everywhere.
At this moment, they seemed to understand.
They understood what Kant had told them earlier.
An unprecedented military revolution, unimaginable logistical support, and the most precious wealth.
And…
Touch the future.

[PS 1: Upgraded…] Yes, he had moved to a new house. The house he lived in before had been under renovation for the past year. First, it was 2702, then 2301, and finally 1202. By the way, 1202 was his boss’s house. He had lived in his hometown for half a year this year, so he thought that it should be renovated no matter what. When he came back, he saw that it was installed. 2301 was indeed renovated, but his mother’s 2302 had started again. By the way, I live in 2402, which happens to be downstairs from my house. F * ck f * ck, what else could he do? They could only move.
