Chapter 826: Obligations of the Alliance
Chapter 826 The Obligations of the Alliance
”This guy is quite popular…”
At the edge of the Dawn City Square, Bennott, the captain of the army, had a perfunctory smile on his face, clapped his hands symbolically, and watched the power armor walk down the center of the square.
If it were a year ago, he would probably not take Chu Guang’s “courtesy words” seriously.
But today, standing here, he couldn’t help but feel a lot of waves in his heart.
Although this guy did brag a lot and drew a lot of big cakes that smelled better than they tasted.
However, what’s interesting is that looking back at the present, all those big cakes that were wild and unimaginative have become reality without exception, or at least they are becoming reality bit by bit.
Now that the plan of the previous stage of the alliance has been completed, he quickly guided the people who stopped to move forward.
In a sense, the things he just said are exactly what the alliance will do in the next stage.
For example, resolving unresolved disputes and allowing the sticky community that has already played a role to continue to play a role… In fact, they did not start the next war immediately, which is the role of the sticky community.
For example, using the technology of the prosperous era to recreate the grand wonders and the miracles of the old times – the elevator to space is the most intuitive manifestation. It is said that they have successfully brought the company of Ideal City into the partnership.
They are already doing it.
Looking at those people who are fighting for the same goal, Bennott is actually a little envious. The
Weilant people are not lacking in strength. They have plenty of strength occupying a vast territory.
However, because everyone is working hard in different directions, they have disintegrated from the inside into countless different factions of all sizes since many years ago.
Today’s legion is like a bloated and aging giant. Although his eyes are still sharp, his body is already dull.
He has had this feeling more than once, but he can’t think of any solution.
It would be great if the respected marshal could guide the Weilant people step by step like him.
I heard that it was like that a long, long time ago.
But suddenly from one day on, the respected adult gradually faded from their sight, leaving the future road to them who didn’t know where to go…
Just when Benoit’s thoughts unconsciously drifted back to many years ago, a light cough suddenly came from his side.
”Mr. Benoit, I’m sorry to disturb you suddenly in such an informal occasion.”
Benoit looked sideways and saw a nasty face, and his brows wrinkled subconsciously.
This person was Cheng Yan, the foreign minister of the alliance and the “lifelong enemy” of the Duke of Galava.
However, he is not the Duke of Galava after all, and he still has the basic qualities and demeanor of a diplomat.
In particular, he found that the expression on the face of the foreign minister seemed a little anxious.
Realizing that this guy had something to ask of him, Benoit suddenly became energetic, not only stretched his frown, but also showed an extremely happy smile on his face.
”Hey, isn’t this the foreign minister of the alliance? It’s really not easy to meet you. What brings you here today?”
Hearing the sarcasm in the voice, Cheng Yan’s eyebrows twitched.
This guy.
He didn’t think he was here to ask him for help.
Before coming here, Cheng Yan was not sure whether Benoit knew what happened on the west coast of the empire four days ago. After all, the speed of information transmission in the area outside Silver Moon Bay has always been a mystery, and it was a coincidence that the alliance knew about what happened there. However, now Cheng Yan can
basically be sure that this guy doesn’t know what happened there at all, otherwise he would never be here to leisurely participate in the celebration of the alliance. He must have been busy cleaning his ass.
Looking at Benoit, the captain of the army, who was still unaware of the disaster, Cheng Yan smiled calmly and replied.
”You are joking again. Although you don’t have an appointment every time, don’t knock on the door when you enter, and like to cut in line, when have we ever let you be turned away?”
Benoit’s face was slightly unhappy, and he raised his chin slightly.
Is this the attitude of asking someone to do something?
”Tell me, what’s your problem?” Although he said this, he had already decided in his heart whether to cooperate.
”It’s not us who have problems, it’s you who have problems.”
Without beating around the bush, Cheng Yan stared at the stunned Captain Bennot and continued to speak word by word.
”Something big has happened in your Xifan Port.”
…
On the endless sea, a fleet of eight cargo ships has approached the east coast of the Borneo Province and slowly circled along the coastline to the southernmost tip of this land.
Three 90% newbies were standing at the bow, communicating in a “dialect” that only they could understand.
”Fuck! There seems to be a celebration in Dawn City!”
”It doesn’t matter. It was the same activities in the past two years anyway. I’ve already watched it on the official website.”
”+1.”
”But I heard that there are a lot of people this year. Last year there were only 200,000 or 300,000 people, but this year it has exceeded one million.”
”There is a Wasteland Survival Equipment Creative Expo the next day, which is led by Goblin Technology. It is said that there are a lot of really awesome new equipment on display.”
”I think this awesomeness needs to be put in quotation marks…”
”+10086.”
”It’s hard to say. In addition to brother Mosquito, reliable institutions such as Factory 81 and Giant Stone Military Industry also participated in the exhibition. People on the forum said that there seems to be a new prosthesis designed by Ibers on the exhibition list… That guy has been experimenting with strength animals all year last year. Maybe this time he can make it come to life!”
”Damn! I’m a little tempted.”
”I heard that Teng Teng Hut has joined forces with several big-name clothing design companies on North Street to organize a fashion art exhibition. It will be held at the Convention and Exhibition Center… The models are said to be bionic people from Ideal City. It seems that they have obtained sponsorship from Kangmao Group.”
”… Shit! Is there an airport in Xifan Port? Woohoo, I want to go back to Dawn City!”
”How could there be one!”
”Forget it… There’s still next year, at worst we can go next year.”
”Indeed… With this little money in your pocket, even if you go, it’s just for fun, let’s make some money first.”
The three of them sighed at the same time, and suddenly they didn’t feel like staying online anymore. They turned back to the cabin and made an appointment to meet in Ionia later.
”Wasteland OL” is a great game in every way, no matter the degree of freedom or realism, there is nothing wrong with it, but the map running is really slow, and there is not even a “teleport” function.
They have been drifting on the sea for more than a week, and what’s more terrible is that they have to drift for another three days to reach their destination. The only things they can do on the ship are either staring at the sea in a daze or drinking and playing cards with the sailors.
This boring life has long exhausted their enthusiasm when they first went to sea. I don’t know how the old iron Sisi, who often serializes travel notes of various places in the wasteland on the official website, persisted…
And when Brother Wolf, Brother Dog, and Brother Guan were offline one after another, their good brother Brother Eagle was still persevering online.
As the only roll king in the team, he didn’t waste any time hanging up these days. When there was no task to do, he pulled the NPCs on the ship to learn “foreign languages” and chatted with them.
Although his talent in languages was not outstanding, he really learned a lot in this week with the advantage of intelligence attribute points.
As for the Willant people on the ship, they were not annoyed by this guy.
After all, life on the ship was too boring.
Since he was free anyway, Alman didn’t mind chatting with this friend from the Alliance. During the chat, he also learned a few words from him about “Shelter 404”.
The grammar of this thing is much more complicated than the Human Union Language, and it is somewhat similar to the local languages of various countries in the old era before the prosperous era.
And these languages usually have a characteristic, that is, they have strong regional attributes, and there is a high threshold for mastering for people who live outside this language environment.
In contrast, the Human Union Language is a language that was artificially designed and popularized through scientific methods, and the threshold for learning is relatively low.
Of course, these unusual cold knowledge are actually what Alman heard during his journey. After all,
he is not a professional linguist, just a businessman.
However, he plans to write this interesting phenomenon in his diary.
Including the bizarre ideas that the residents of the shelter put forward on the way…
”…In fact, I think Snake State is also a good place. It is located at the southernmost end of Borneo Province, not too far from Jinjialun Port and Xifan Port. The geographical location is like Cape Comorin next to Sri Lanka… Ahem, I mean, it is like the Yongye Port at the southernmost end of the Great Desert of your legion.”
Captain’s room.
[Visionary Eagle] stood by the window, looking at the direction of the coastline with high spirits, and suddenly said this sentence out of nowhere.
Alman, who was drinking tea, heard this brain hole from the window, and his face suddenly showed a helpless expression.
”It’s a very interesting idea… It’s a pity that the people here are too poor. Not all coastlines are worth docking, and not all coasts are suitable for building ports.”
The prosperous inland market, convenient land transportation, and dense isobaths, etc…. There are too many indispensable elements.
After losing the slave trade port of Jinjialun Port, they picked the Feng Shui treasure land of Xifan Port on the west coast of Borneo Province for a long time.
As for building a new port in the southernmost Snake State…
that depends on whether the empire has this idea.
”A lot of poor people? Haha, that’s just right, we are here to help the poor!” The far-sighted Eagle smiled happily and retracted his gaze from the window. There are
many rich people in French Fries Port, and the same is true for Golden Gallon Port, but the business opportunities there have been almost developed. To make a fortune in such a place, you must either have scale advantages, or technical advantages, or you can only be a genius or lucky.
In contrast, this undeveloped land contains more opportunities.
Although investing in a port may seem a bit whimsical for a newcomer, there is still a long way to go.
He is determined to become a man like Brother Fang, and this little difficulty can’t stop him!
Looking at this overconfident guy, Alman made a helpless expression and hummed perfunctorily.
”You make sense… Let’s go there after we develop the market in Xifan Port.”
He didn’t have so many ideas for such distant things for the time being, and just wanted to finish the business at hand as soon as possible.
He already owed the bank a large sum of money for the pie that Master Bennot had drawn, which he could never eat.
If he couldn’t find a job to make up for it as soon as possible, the interest on the debt alone would be enough to make him and his partners drink a pot! After
writing down another whimsical idea of the residents of the shelter in the diary, Alman casually threw it into the drawer, intending to think about it when he remembered it, and then pinched his eyebrows and prepared to take a nap to rest for a while.
For some reason, he always felt inexplicably flustered these two days. He couldn’t sleep with his eyes open at night, and he was sleepy and listless during the day.
He usually didn’t sleep in the afternoon, but at this moment he just wanted to take a nap…
Just when he closed his eyes for less than a moment, the door of the captain’s room was suddenly pushed open by hurried footsteps and knocks, and the guy named “Brother Dog” ran in from outside.
”Something big has happened!”
He was speaking the dialect of the shelter, and he was shouting at the Eagle of Farsight by the window.
Because he had learned a little from Brother Eagle, Alman, who was awakened, understood what he said, and asked with a yawn.
”What’s the matter? You are so anxious.”
Brother Dog opened his eyes in surprise, wondering how this NPC could understand what he said?
But there was no time to dwell on this now, he looked at Eagle of Farsight and continued anxiously.
”There was a rebellion in Xifan Port! And it happened four days ago!”
”Four days ago?! Damn!” Eagle of Farsight was stunned at first, and then he was shocked in an instant, and asked anxiously, “What about now? Has it been suppressed?”
The Dog of the Catheter said with a mixture of tears and laughter.
”How should I know? It depends on whether the local garrison of the Willant people is strong enough… But I think it’s dangerous. I heard that there are many people who rebelled, and the local communication has not been restored until now. It is probably hopeless.” Hopeless
? !
Wouldn’t that mean they’ve made this trip in vain?!
The farsighted eagle was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, and suddenly realized a problem, and then asked.
”Wait, how the hell did you know about the rebellion there?”
The catheter dog rolled his eyes and looked at him like a fool: “Nonsense! Offline tasks! The administrator personally popped up a small window, and the three of us received it! You can go back and take a look, maybe there is one!”
Farsighted Eagle: “Fuck! I’ll go and take a look!”
Hidden tasks!
He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
Looking at the two people talking at a fast speed, Alman had a confused expression on his face the whole time.
He only vaguely heard the name of Xifan Port, and then he couldn’t understand anything.
Could it be…
something big happened in Xifan Port? !
Seeing that Brother Eagle was about to leave the room, Alman hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to hold him.
”Wait, what happened?”
The far-sighted Eagle had no time to explain and hurriedly shook off his hand.
”I’m not sure yet, I have to wait a while before I can answer you… wait for me here.”
Alman stared at the two figures disappearing outside the captain’s room in amazement. It was not until a long time later that he slowly sat down at the table.
What happened in Xifan Port?
And…
how did they know the news there?
With a head full of question marks, Alman grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip.
For some reason, the feeling of panic became stronger and stronger…
…
It was a coincidence.
The Alliance’s Guards Corps did not actually establish a solid intelligence network in Xifan Port, and even the informants in Jingalon Port and Mammoth State only cooperated indirectly, so it was purely a coincidence that they learned about Xifan Port.
The cause of the incident was actually a cement transaction order processed in the banking system of Kinggallon Port.
The salesperson in charge of processing this order suddenly lost contact with the customers in Xifan Port, and the contact was large-scale, so he immediately reported the abnormality to the relevant regulatory authorities.
At first, the bank in Kinggallon Port thought that the Willants had noticed something and detained the cement that their customers intended to sell to Mammoth Continent, but later they found that it seemed that things were not that simple.
Then the Governor’s Office in Kinggallon Port received news from the informant in Tiger State that Tiandu of the Empire suddenly issued an order to allow the local army
of Lion State to assemble. Given the close father-son relationship between the Empire and the Legion, this assembly order is naturally unlikely to be aimed at the Willants, but from a distance, it is unlikely to be aimed at the Alliance.
Combining the intelligence obtained from two different channels at the same time, Yodu, who served as the secretary of the Governor, immediately judged that there might be a serious regional conflict in Xifan Port, and the situation might have been out of the control of the Willants.
Without hesitation, he immediately sent the news as a telegram to French Fries Port.
Perhaps because the Empire did not dare to tell the Legion, or perhaps because Tiandu itself was confused about the current situation, Chu Guang learned about the situation in Xifan Port before Bennott, the Legion’s ambassador.
Although the port was thousands of kilometers away from the Alliance, Chu Guang could not ignore the people there for humanitarian reasons. Moreover,
the shelter itself was also a disaster relief agency, and they had an obligation to prevent the situation from getting worse.
In the most pessimistic scenario, the more than 3,000 Willant residents living there may have suffered misfortune.
And considering the Legion’s usual style of doing things, their revenge may not be as simple as catching the culprit and the accomplice.
If they are given enough time, they may kill the millions of people there.
Even for the sake of being human, the Alliance must do something.
But after all, it is not the Alliance’s territory, and there is no Alliance military base nearby.
It is definitely inappropriate and impractical to send troops there, and diplomatic means can only be used as much as possible.
Therefore, Chu Guang instructed Cheng Yan to contact Ambassador Bennot to explain the seriousness of the situation, while asking Xiao Qi to search for the players closest to Xifan Port to see if he could send a few people to investigate the specific situation there.
Xifan Port is too far away from the save point, and Chu Guang didn’t have much hope at first, but he didn’t expect that he would find it in the end.
Although these four little players were all new to the game during the War of Heaven, they couldn’t care less at the moment.
After returning to the B4 floor of the shelter, Chu Guang sent a real-time communication pop-up window to the last player who went offline to accept the task after editing the task document.
This is a new feature developed by Xiao Qi after the last update. He can communicate directly with offline players.
However, since there is no “filter” offline, it may affect the player’s sense of substitution, so Chu Guang generally does not use this feature unless it is a special emergency.
”…We learned from our intelligence system that a serious regional crisis is happening in Xifan Port. The shelter is a disaster relief agency. Whether it is for moral or duty, we cannot leave the survivors there alone.”
”Whether it is the Weilant people or the people of the Borneo Province, they all have the right to survive in this world. We have not intervened in their conflicting positions, but we must minimize the deaths of innocent people.”
Although he was very excited to receive the “call” from the manager offline, after listening to the content of the entire mission, the far-sighted Eagle still showed an embarrassment on his face.
Regardless of this mission, he can now basically be sure that his poverty alleviation “business” is basically over.
There is no need to think about it. If the worst has happened, with the temper of the Weilant people, they will not leave a single survivor. I am afraid that even the eggs in the supermarket will have to be shaken to yellow before leaving… If there is such a thing as a supermarket there.
If it weren’t for the generous contribution points and silver coins given by this mission, he would even want to get off the ship and start again.
”But sir, we are at sea. Even in the most optimistic scenario, we have to wait until noon on the 3rd… When we get there, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
Chu Guang was silent for a while, then slowly spoke.
”We can’t always be in places where we are needed before a disaster occurs, but even so we still have to do what we should do. And compared to waiting for two centuries, three days should not be too late.”
”Remember your identity and responsibilities, don’t let your personal feelings control your actions, do what you can, and control the risks and hazards to the minimum within your ability… In short, do your best.”
Perhaps, the difficulty of this task is indeed a bit too high for them. After all,
these four players are still newcomers, and they may have just completed the task of passing on the torch not long ago.
Just as Chu Guang was hesitating, Farsighted Eagle was also hesitating to back down.
But just when he was about to back down, he suddenly thought of someone.
If it was that guy, he would definitely take the task without hesitation and calmly think about how to break the deadlock…
Taking a deep breath, Farsighted Eagle said seriously.
”I understand… I will do my best – no, I will definitely not let you down and complete this task beautifully!”
Chu Guang was stunned for a moment when he heard the suddenly motivated voice, and then a smile appeared on his face.
”Well, I believe you can do it, just go for it.”
”This is a task that only you can complete. I leave it to you!”
After the call was hung up.
Chu Guang let out a long sigh, took off his headphones, and leaned back on the sofa.
Climbing onto his shoulder, Xiao Qi looked at his profile with a worried look.
”Is it really okay to leave it to those newcomers?”
It always felt that the child was not very reliable, at least compared with the players that the master often used. It’s
not just about ability, but all aspects are like this…
Of course, this is just the conclusion drawn from big data analysis, and it’s hard to say what will happen in the end.
Compared to Xiao Qi’s worried face, Chu Guang just smiled faintly and touched its forehead with his index finger.
”No one is born knowing everything. It takes time to grow.”
”Just let them try, and Foreign Minister Cheng will continue to follow up.” I
was on a business trip and forgot to bring my glasses when I went out… Sorry for being a little late today TT
