"The guys from Ailsala are doing a good job."
Caesar crushed the communication crystal in his hand and said to the Black Wings higher-ups who followed him, "Virgil has already begun to counterattack. Their commander, Lohn Joseph, is a smart guy. He knows very well that the reinforcements are not here to help him defend his position. This lone wolf is tearing Tashanmu apart and setting off a new round of turmoil in the central region.
This is very good. Let us have plenty of time to prepare for everything that comes next. "
"Perhaps there are more direct and efficient means."
Nero snorted and bared his teeth, "You only need … No, you don't need to do anything. The Imperial Court only needs to send the Black Wings and some of the Radiation Dragons, and the human city-state that relies on trade for a living will tremble and crawl at the feet of the Empire."
"With your wisdom, it is not suitable for you to comment. Just listen obediently, Nero."
Hogg, who was walking beside the Demon Hound, said, "I believe that you are telling the truth, but tell me, how are you going to deal with The Rising Sun City?
Don't forget, they are allies of Tashanmu.
The Trade Federation is not worth mentioning. The Rising Sun City is the real trouble. "
"Fight, there is only one way."
Nero said in a muffled voice, "Fighting will make our race stronger. We will tear apart all resistance for our king."
"That's good. This is what a Demon Hound should say."
"What do you mean?"
"You're just stupid."
Hogg smiled. He was very familiar with Nero. This kind of teasing was not the first or second time, so he knew that the other party would not be angry.
"Okay."
Caesar interrupted their conversation and reached out to touch Nero's head. He looked like he was comforting a kitten, "I know you haven't been out for a long time and can't help but grind your teeth. Just wait a little longer."
The Legendary Demon Hound with a body size of more than twenty-five meters was indeed no different from a kitten in front of the Black Dragon.
Caesar led them all the way forward. The surrounding terrain was very high, and the slope slowly rose. From a distance, it looked like a hill that suddenly rose from the ground. There were few people around, and even beasts and birds could not be seen. At the end, the road ahead was suddenly cut off, and the noise of the waves entered their ears.
This was a precipice near the sea. Looking down, it was about a few hundred meters high.
"Has the Graveyard been completed?" Hogg asked.
"I just found out two days ago, so I came over to take a look."
As Caesar spoke, he snapped his fingers with his claws. Sparks shot out from his scales and the clear sound of steel clashing could be heard.
This sound seemed to be some kind of signal. The sea breeze became less clear, and it was mixed with another sharp sound. Rip, rip, rip … The sound of the sea breeze gradually faded away, but this sharp sound became more and more obvious, like thousands of pieces of metal scraping against each other underwater.
The pitch-black sea suddenly lit up as if it was burning. Gloomy white light seeped out from under the precipice. Then, as if a palace of bones had risen from the sea, the crisscrossing steel and bones weaved into some kind of inexplicable building. It slowly appeared in front of Caesar amidst the rumbling sound. Not all of it, but through the shadows under the sea, at least half of it was still hidden in the deep water.
The Skeletal Dragon Angramo also appeared under the water, bringing with it a strong aura of death. It flapped its skeletal wings and landed beside Caesar. The Soul Fire in its chest and eye sockets was surging. "Father."
She was the watcher here.
"Unbelievable." Hogg sighed. "I didn't expect it to really be built."
"Introduce it." Caesar raised his chin.
"Yes."
Angramo nodded. She organized her words and said, "The first product of the Empire's' Steel Cemetery 'project, an alchemical creation led by Lich Ryan and completed by the Army of the Dead. This' cemetery 'is 300 meters wide and 135 meters high. It can be used for long-term operations on the sea and help the Empire establish a maritime security network.
It has 200 sets of reaction arrays, which can scan and classify targets under various search and tracking modes, and automatically correct interference and shielding spells.
According to Lord Ryan's tests, it can monitor moving targets in the air and sea within a range of three thousand square kilometers. "
"It's exactly the same as the goal I proposed." Caesar could not help but praise.
What Black Dragon did not know was that in the distant Empire, Emperor Enrico had proposed a similar strategic goal. In order to fight against Black Wing's powerful fleet, he ordered the mages to build a maritime surveillance system. Their method was to cast countless Sorcerer's Eyes in the sea, and the range of each Sorcerer's Eye overlapped with the other Sorcerer's Eyes. There was no blind spot. During wartime, a group of mages would control the Sorcerer's Eyes.
Emperor Enrico proudly called this plan the "Omniscient Eye".
The initial design inspiration of the Blackwing Empire's' Steel Cemetery 'came from a military weapon called "radar" in Caesar's previous life. Compared to the Omniscient Eye of the Empire, the biggest bottleneck of the Steel Cemetery was automation. After all, there was still a gap between an alchemical and industrial product and a spellcaster's personal control. To carry the task of monitoring, especially when the range of monitoring was so large, the Steel Cemetery must have a high degree of intelligence. Therefore, the design was very troublesome, and the difficulty was no less than creating a new life.
In order to complete the Steel Cemetery plan, Ryan was almost always missing. He ordered the entire undead army to provide him with spiritual power and labor. He also called in the Red Lotus Goblins from the materials research institute, weapons laboratory, and other development departments to work through the night. It took him three years to finally deliver the finished product to Caesar.
Just like what Caesar had said in the beginning, he needed time to prepare for everything that was to come next. The current Blackwing Empire could indeed look down on the Trade Federation. If the Dark Emperor was willing, the Blackwing Clan could easily trample all over the Trade Federation. However, Caesar did not view the Trade Federation as his opponent. Instead, he viewed the Empire on the other side of Eladia as his opponent.
In order to prepare for the war that would overturn the current situation of Eladia, the Black Dragon needed time to warm up. The chaos in the Central Continent was the best prelude to that. Due to Black Wing's military assistance to Vaegirs in the Central Continent, it would lead to the Empire's assembly line arsenal, the Northern Docks, the Imperial Academy, the Dragon Nest Incubation Pool, and the Clan Settlements to enter a state of preparation for war at a leisurely pace. When everything was ready, it would be the time when Black Wing and the Unfallen Empire truly went to war.
Caesar already knew about the ultimate disaster of Airadia. He estimated that in less than two hundred years, the Abyssal Demons would land on this plane. If he did not have enough power in his hands, he might not even be able to protect his lover and children, let alone Blackwing's territory. Therefore, the Black Dragon had to go all out and start a war. He had to integrate all the power in Airadia as quickly as possible, and at the same time, absorb all the achievements of the Dark Dream that he could.
On the other hand, it was unknown if Enriel also knew about the prelude of the Abyssal Invasion. His actions were exactly the same as Caesar's, interfering with the affairs of the Central Lands to warm up the Empire.
In the Central Lands of Airadia, Rune Joseph and Tashanmu, the two main characters of the war that divided the Trade Federation, were pushed forward by two invisible hands. They had requested for peace on the grounds that their army had suffered heavy losses, but they were strictly rejected.
