Soul Seal of Mechanic Legend

After everyone and the warship boarded the loading ship, Yi Heng gave the order to take off.Airships rose into the sky one after another, like a flock of migrating birds, all flying towards Haisongbao.

Not long after takeoff, an urgent communication request was sent to the command ship, and the source was the imperial capital San Pharo.

Yiheng looked at Zhi Mingfeng clearly: Your brother is here.

The two entered the communication room together, and after letting the others leave, Yiheng pressed the connection button, and the blurred portrait that appeared on the video was indeed Zhi Mingfeng's older brother Zhi Yicheng. Zhi Mingfeng just ignored it.

Yiheng smiled, "Long time no see."

"Are you going to Haisong Castle now?"

"Yes, an order from the military department."

Zhi Yicheng nodded, "Fifty years ago, the Empire and the Alliance signed the Haisongbao Peace Treaty. Now that the Alliance has unilaterally broken the contract, we may soon face a large-scale attack from the Alliance."

"I thought the military department couldn't confirm the specific situation of Fort Haisong." At least that's what Barnett told Yi Heng.

"We can't contact the people in Haisongbao now. In this case, is there any other possibility?" The wingman knocked his head with his hand, as if he was suffering from a severe headache, "The trouble is, The situation in the imperial capital is also a bit complicated, the emperor is still ill, but I don't think the condition is too serious."

He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the youngest minister in the empire - less than thirty, more than half of the intelligence department of the empire is in his hands, and his boss is only the emperor.

Zhi Mingfeng sneered, "What do you think? Since he can't die for the time being..."

Zhi Yicheng reprimanded: "Shut up, you won't learn what not to say?!"

Zhi Mingfeng curled his lips disdainfully, "The situation won't be chaotic if he's alive, so why don't he send more troops to Haisong Fort? Or is someone plotting against Yiheng and me and wants us to die?"

"It's not necessary to plot against you, unless you want to plot against me and Feimanlin's family through you."

Zhi Mingfeng stared, "You really think highly of yourself."

Zhi Yicheng ignored him, "Yiheng, besides the emperor's illness, I suspect that the little prince may also be ill. He hasn't appeared for several days."

The current emperor is Elliott II. He has a son and a daughter. His daughter, Princess Anne, is 21 years old today.The tradition of the empire is that the prince has the priority to succeed to the throne. When the emperor has no sons, only the daughter can inherit the throne. Therefore, Prince Alan has the first succession right. If there is any abnormality in his body, it will be a major event that will affect the future situation of the empire.

Zhi Mingfeng taunted: "Tsk, the one who will hold you back the most is this weak and sick royal family."

Zhi Yicheng gave him a warning look, but due to the poor effect of the mechanical video image, it was not lethal.

Yiheng hesitated and said, "Not showing up in front of everyone doesn't necessarily mean that you are sick..." He paused for a moment and asked, "Where is Princess Anne, is there any sign of going back to the imperial capital?"

"No, she's still in the Hundred Flowers Forest." Zhi Yicheng had already confirmed this information, "It would be better if she didn't come back, but it would make people think too much if she came back."

"Perhaps nothing serious has happened to the royal family, otherwise she will definitely return to San Faro." Yi Heng is concerned about another thing, "Have you ever thought that Haisong Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the strongest fortress, the Alliance What method did you use to take it away without a sound?"

"They must have used some extraordinary means to avoid our intelligence system. The alliance's mechanical technology has developed rapidly in recent years."

Zhi Mingfeng smiled lazily, "Looking for an excuse, why don't you want to admit that you are incompetent?"

Zhi Yicheng ignored him, just pretending that he didn't exist.

Yiheng pulled Zhi Mingfeng to calm him down, "As far as I know, the alliance's forces are mainly concentrated in Gallows, Huamianhe and Baiyingang, and there is no sign of a large number of troops in Haisong Castle. Haven't thought about the possibility that maybe it's not an alliance attack, but our army's rebellion?"

Zhi Yicheng's mask-like face finally had a crack, and he said in horror: "You are so brave, you dare to say this!"

Yiheng calmly said: "It's just a guess, and I only said this in front of you, I will keep my mouth shut when I leave this room."

Zhi Yicheng frowned and thought for a moment, "If this is the case, it will be even worse. The rebellion will not only shake the morale of the army, but if it cannot be suppressed immediately, it will also shake the foundation of the empire." He was silent for a while, "However, this can explain why my The intelligence system can't collect more information, because the other party is our own and understands how it works... I have to go, I have to check this direction, keep in touch, and you have to be careful."

"We will." Yiheng nodded, watching the video shut down and the communication cut off.

Zhi Mingfeng frowned, "Rebellion?"

"It's not a rebellion, but someone surrendered to the enemy and cooperated with the alliance. Otherwise, Haisong Fortress would be very difficult to capture." Yiheng personally thinks that Haisong Fortress is one of the most difficult places in the empire to be captured.

Zhi Mingfeng raised his eyebrows, "Since you thought of this earlier, does that mean you already have the means to win this war?"

Yiheng was noncommittal, "Who can say for sure? I hope luck is on our side. Now, it's time for us to contact our allied troops." He pressed a door-opening button on the wall, the door opened, and the staff returned to the communication station. Room, "Communication request to Simon Independent Fighting Force."

"Yes, Major General."

Two minutes later, the communication request was approved, and the bust of Simon's commander Weeden Femmelin appeared on the video wall, but the image was still blurry. The video communication technology of this era is not perfect, even voice communication is not convenient. Many flaws, such as the communicator is too bulky to carry around.

Yiheng and Zhi Mingfeng saluted together, "Lieutenant General."

Vuitton replied, "I will send the vanguard to go ahead, and they can join you before 8:[-] tomorrow morning."

Yiheng replied: "Understood, I have received the document you sent."

"Very good. I will arrive at noon tomorrow. If the situation permits, you can discuss countermeasures together after the two of us meet," Whedon said.

"Yes, I understand."

Whedon added: "If there is nothing else to do, then the call is over."

"Yes." The two sides saluted, and the communication was closed.

Zhi Mingfeng looked at Yiheng, it seems that the relationship between him and his family is really bad, the two sides have a completely business-like attitude, just like himself, at least they will have a verbal dispute with Zhiyi.

"What?" Yiheng looked at Zhi Mingfeng.

"It's nothing. Would you like a cup of tea?" Zhi Mingfeng asked.The two left the communication room together and returned to the bridge.

Yiheng said: "No, let's have a glass of ice wine." The ice wine is not high in alcohol and tastes very sweet.

Zhi Mingfeng poured him a glass, "Every time I ask the emperor to bring ice wine, they think I want to drink it." He curled his lips in disgust, "This kind of sweet and greasy stuff..."

Yiheng took the crystal cup, shook the golden liquid in the cup, and looked out at the vast night sky through it. He remembered what Rong Jin said about encountering a storm on the road to Dingwo. Seeing him... It's a pity, I don't know when the next meeting will be, Yi Heng raised his glass to clink with the imaginary Rong Jin, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, wishing me all the best.

More than an hour later, Yiheng and the others joined up with two other troops not far from Sea Pine Fort. They were two regiments headed by Colonel Benson and Colonel Bivis.

After the two sides exchanged military salutes, Yiheng cut to the chase and said, "Let's talk about what you have learned so far."

Benson said: "Up to now, Hesongbao has cut off contact with the outside world for five hours. We tried to contact the people inside, but we couldn't."

Yiheng looked in the direction of Haisongbao, "Well, what do you think?"

Benson said: "I think the biggest possibility is that the Alliance raided into Fort Sea Pine, but the number of Alliance members who entered may not be large, or they were fighting with the garrison of Fort Sea Pine and caused a lot of casualties, and their reinforcements were unable to do so in a short time. Hurry up, in order to prevent the empire from noticing this, they cut off the communication of Haisong Castle from the inside."

Yiheng said: "Do you think that the Alliance captured Haisong Fort, and their way of cutting off communication is their delaying tactic, in order to confuse us who don't know the inside information so that we dare not attack easily?"

"Yes."

Yiheng looked at Bivis.

Bivis said: "My opinion is basically the same as that of Benson. But what I find strange is why the garrison of Fort Sea Song didn't call for help, and what happened inside? I realized something was wrong when I couldn't contact the people inside, but It's too late."

Yiheng was surprised and said: "So you were the one who found out what happened to Haisongbao?" This person was also very thoughtful.

Bivis nodded, "Yes, I noticed it and immediately reported it to my superiors."

Yiheng and Zhi Mingfeng looked at each other: Then those guys in the imperial capital discussed for nearly four hours before deciding to send troops to rescue.The efficiency is really high enough, and they still send an improvised army over, I don't know what they think.

Yiheng asked Benson and Bivis, "Do you have any acquaintances in Haisong Castle?"

Benson said: "I have former comrades in the room."

Beavis also said, "Me too."

Yi Heng nodded, "Very good, what kind of comrade-in-arms are you?"

Benson said: "A brother who can depend on his life."

Bivis said, "Good buddy."

Yiheng asked, "How loyal are they to the empire?"

Both Benson and Bivis were stunned, "Major General..."

Benson quickly said, "They are absolutely loyal to the empire."

Beavis also said: "I don't make friends with people who have bad intentions."

Yiheng nodded, at this moment, someone knocked on the door, "Major General, urgent message."

Zhi Mingfeng walked over to take the document bag from the man, took it back and handed it to Yiheng.

Yiheng opened it and took a look. It was the latest information sent by Zhi Yicheng. He is very efficient. This is the benefit of having Zhi Mingfeng by his side. No matter how much their brothers disagree and it is a matter of life and death, they will still think about each other , "Our intelligence team went to investigate the situation of the alliance on the other side of the border. The atmosphere of the other side's army is irritable. They should have noticed the problem of Haisong Castle." The empire has intelligence personnel hiding on the side of the alliance, and the alliance also sent people to the empire Well, there must be people from them in Haisongbao. Once they can't get in touch, they will know that there is something wrong with Haisongbao.

Benson and Bivis asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Zhi Mingfeng leaned beside Yiheng to look at the intelligence documents in his hand, "It seems that the alliance army doesn't know what happened in Haisong Castle, so it's really an internal rebellion in Haisong Castle, not a surprise attack by the alliance?"

Yi Heng nodded, "I'm afraid so."

Both Benson and Bivis remembered the loyalty question Yiheng asked their friends before, and they immediately became anxious, "I don't understand why, they won't betray the empire..." "Impossible, how could this be? !"

"There must be a reason." Yiheng said calmly, "We'll know what's going on when we go in."

Zhi Mingfeng asked: "What shall we do now?"

"Time is running out, we need to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the alliance will come to take advantage of the fire." Yiheng opened the map, circled certain areas and asked, "How many warships do we have in total?"

Zhi Mingfeng replied: "Six cruisers and 300 destroyers."

Yiheng asked: "How long does it take to disguise 200 warships of the Alliance? It doesn't matter if it is rough, just brush off the paint and spray it with the logo of the Alliance." The warships of the Empire are generally green, with gold as the secondary color.The primary color of the league is red, with blue and white as secondary colors.

"It depends on how many support staff there are. How much time can you give?"

"One hour at most." Yiheng said, "Gather all the logistics personnel together. Mingfeng, you are responsible for this."

Zhi Mingfeng replied without hesitation: "Okay."

Yiheng pointed to the map and said, "Bivis, how familiar are you with these areas?" The area drawn out by Yiheng is some towns around Haisong Fort. Bivis's army is the closest to Haisong Fort. The place is more familiar.

Bivis said, "It's very familiar, I've been there."

Yiheng looked at him and said, "Very well, I want you to get the people in these places to leave within two hours. You can tell them that the alliance army will attack soon, and let them evacuate temporarily, and wait for us to repel the enemy." , and they go home again."

Bivis thought for a while, "Can you drive the loading ship there?"

Yiheng frowned. Although he said that his subordinates should be obedient, he would still get annoyed when the other party couldn't keep up with his thinking. "No, the target of the loading ship is too big, Haisongbao will find out."

Bivis suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe, but it might be an illusion, "Understood." But he immediately thought of a new problem, "Two hours may not be able to evacuate everyone, there may be omissions."

Yiheng frowned even tighter, the air pressure in the room was so low that it was breathless, this time it was not an illusion.

Zhi Mingfeng said: "Major General, it's normal for Colonel Bivis to have concerns. I think you can explain your plan to us first, and we can discuss the details after we understand the whole plan."

"En." The atmosphere eased a little, Yiheng turned to look at Benson.

Benson straightened up reflexively.

"I need you to go here." Yiheng said, pointing to the border line on the map.

"Yes!" Benson replied loudly, "Major General, what will happen after we get there?" It's impossible to tell him to attack the alliance, right?

"Provoke the alliance, but be careful. I don't really want you to fight them." Yiheng said, "It's just to make them suspicious and suspect that we have a conspiracy, so they don't dare to cross the border easily."

Benson relaxed a lot, his task was simpler than Bivis's, "Make sure to complete the task!"

Yiheng glanced at him, as if he was using his eyes to put pressure on him to tell him to keep his promise, "Now let me tell you about the complete plan..."
