Chapter 200: The Deep Sorrow (68): Cruzd Dishes (Chinese)
"By the way to Wolfya, recently... I seem to have started dreaming of the 'Echoerer' again," said Dark.
Wolfya was startled at first, and stopped the knife of the "ice field rooster" in his hand for a second. After a brief moment of stunnedness, he quickly returned to his normal cooking rhythm, pretended to be indifferent, and asked in a relaxed tone:
"What message has He... told you?"
"No." Dark shook his head, sat back on the chair, stepped on the edge of the seat with one foot, hugged his knees with his hands, and said:
"I just saw that the tree that has been growing vigorously in the "Grey Dream" collapsed. In the heavy snow all over the sky, the "Echoer" leaned alone like a child near the broken wall, with his eyes looking at me in pain and helplessness, his mouth was up and down, but he never made any sound.
"I feel that because of the freezing, He has no strength to continue speaking."
Hearing this, Wolfya did not respond immediately to Dak, but skillfully removed the claws, chicken wings, internal organs and bones of the "ice field rooster", hollowed out, and set them aside in an aluminum bowl to spare, and then cut the large piece of meat in the chicken breast and wrapped it with a layer of bread crumbs that had been prepared.
Then, he mixed the seasonings including salt, pepper and other seasonings, poured in soy sauce and olive oil, and after the mixture was finished, sprinkled in a handful of sugar included in the "Cruzder Military Strategic Materials List", stirred thoroughly, and put the chicken pieces into it and marinate quietly.
After doing all this, he satisfactorily took out the bear meat sausage, cut it into evenly sized blocks in extremely slow but extremely precise steps, put it in a steamer that had been wiped clean and poured into a clean water source, opened the valve of the gas tank, and ignited it and steamed it.
After a few minutes, looking at the steam smoke gradually rising from the tiny holes and the chicken pieces "lying" in the brown seasoning, like the chicken in the lake water stained with blood, watching them slowly wriggle and twist, like ghostly meat wandering in the abandoned field, Wolfya finally responded:
"He may be sending you the last message. He is very anxious and looking forward to your trip. I guess He must have learned your direction through some method. As you get closer to Him, the feeling of desire to be rescued will become stronger.
"This is instinct, out of life's instinct. Perhaps the consciousness of the 'echoer' does not convey any information, but that instinct is always looking forward to your arrival."
"So, we should go north as soon as possible, instead of staying here and waiting for death." Dark muttered, lowered his head slightly, and said angrily.
"I said, we don't have to worry, Dark." Wolfya said in an extremely gentle tone:
"Some things do require quick decisions and seize opportunities. But more things need to understand information, accumulate resources, choose methods, and then make 'satisfactory decisions', and finally implement them, operate slowly, and achieve success.
"Although I don't like the peace of the Khitan Rises, their intellectuals always speak slowly, literary and philosophical, but they are always elusive and incomprehensible. However, I appreciate one of their views."
"What's the point?" Dark asked, looking away from the food, looking at Wolfyan's wide, dark blue eyes, and the tall, wide and strong figure that belonged to the Cruzders.
"'It will be difficult to deal with urgent matters, and once things slow down, there is room for maneuver.' This is the philosophical wisdom that belongs to the Khitans, and is often called the 'the doctrine of the mean' by their own people." Wolfya sat on the clean dining table, raised his head, looked at the dormitory building and the sky outside the window, and continued:
"This is the core of all philosophical views that the Khitan Ries upholds. They neither overly exaggerated, pursue speed and ultimate power, nor are they willing to be too weak and give up all possible opportunities, so they create a unique culture between the two.
"I think this is why the Khitan Rises have been able to exist safely in this "SingDoc crisis" that lasted for hundreds of years, and have not suffered major losses, and can protect the [order] of half of the territory. But it is the philosophical view of the "moderate" that prevents them from further concentrating resources and manpower, expanding their control areas, regaining the fallen strongholds, taking over the almost ruined Eventre, and even moving westward to rescue the Uhata region and the eastern part of Cruzd."
"But such an overly... uh... 'moderate' will lead to us missing opportunities." Dark analyzed:
"Now, the 'Crash Group' and several other organizations still threaten our 'Artificial Lake' camp in the north. I heard that the independent armed forces in the south, especially the 'Wild Tourist Group', their leaders, men known as the 'Big Brother', have led more than a thousand people to get closer to us. If the 'Crash Group' releases the frozen tens of thousands of 'unintentional people', our advantage situation will be gone under the multi-line attack.
"From the deployment of this 'Sad Sorrow' battle, most of the [warriors] sent by Chief Vasily were elites, but very few. In other words, the capital and strategic regiments could not draw more troops to participate in this action that could wipe out the largest and most powerful enemies in the territory.
"Didn't you just told me yesterday? The situation in Koenig Province is not optimistic. The Federal Council has invested more than 100,000 troops into several industrial centers there, but in the face of the attacks of "unintentional people" and even the "waves", they are still powerless and retreating step by step."
"This is true." Wolfya did not deny it, but took Dark's analysis and continued:
"The Linbian Town, which we bordered the Sunnese people, fell on August 27. Originally, the two countries could still do some border trade, exchange of information, etc., but now this only window does not exist. The factories there can produce 150 various tanks, 2,000 medium-sized artillery, and 10,000 basic guns in a month, such as the "Ice Field Tiger", "Southern Bear", "Central Rabbit", and the "K-0999" standard rifle.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Since several 'unintentional waves' at the beginning of the year, I have made a judgment that in fact, the fall of Koenig Province is only a matter of time. If we can successfully control the vast resource production areas before this, and relocate factories or set up new ones in the north, we can make up for a lot of losses.
"After all, Konig Province is not a major grain-producing area, and after experiencing the 'concentrated defeat' more than thirty years ago, the Sunnese people were unable to produce more resources to trade with us. In addition to symbolically promising a little pitiful assistance, the diplomats sent between our two countries were just to give spiritual encouragement. Dak, how long has it been since you had eaten canned food produced by the Sunnese factory?"
"It seems that since we were transferred to Iceland City at the beginning of the year, we have never seen any stores run by the Federal Commission or the black market for private material exchange. I remember that the shelf life of canned food exported by the Sunnese people will not be very long, at most one year. However, with the consumption speed of our Cruzdes, as long as the goods are stopped for a period of time, no corner of the federal territory can be used normally." Dark replied.
"Yes." Wolfya nodded:
"As long as there is a place that can replace the industrial capacity of Konig Province, we can shrink the front line in the south, and wait for the situation to change, or the Sunnese people recover from years of defeat and try to regain the several strongholds on the border, and launch an attack again.
"From the vast area of the old empire that expanded its territory to our traditional territory, that is, to the east, at most to the vast area of the Naibsk Plain, our main grain-producing areas are Ice-lin Province, Water Province, Russ Province and half of the Nanshan District. Three of these four important areas are still intact and firmly controlled in our hands, which will not affect the overall situation.
"Even if we rely on the newly established Gnaji Line, we have set up a semicircular defense network and invested an army of up to one million people to fight on the front line, this does not mean that other places will miss opportunities in vain. Chief Vasily is an excellent general in any case. For the military, his judgment is reliable for most of the time. As long as he does not focus on those mysterious things, in the long-term military confrontation with the 'unintentioned person' and the lost, we can accumulate advantages little by little until the 'restart era' comes."
"You mean, the Federal Council people think they don't need to completely eliminate the 'Crash Group' people?" Dark guessed.
"Of course." Wolfya's answer was very straightforward:
"The goal of the battle can be set more radically. We can claim to eliminate all the "lost organizations" from top to bottom, but in fact, we will achieve our goal by expelling them into the snowy wasteland and gradually marginalizing them, so that their members can only have the only option of "returning to the Federation."
Wolfya continued:
"And, according to the "New God," the leader of the Order Society, he believes that the realm where the "Echoer" is located, in the case of the "Echoer" himself, he does not have the ability to break through the ice bonds and leave the "Peslune" area without external invasion.
“In other words, as long as no one has the ability to get into the realm of the ‘Echoer’, then He will be sealed there forever until the continent is destroyed and a new cycle of reincarnation begins.”
Wolfya said, jumping off the dining table, staring down at Dark's gray eyes, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.
Then, he swallowed suddenly, moved the Adam's apple up and down, and said in an extremely cold tone:
"And, I guess, the Chaos Group will not target 'Pramini' and 'Echoers' for a short time."
"Why?" Dak asked nervously by the atmosphere created by Wolfya.
"Because, their leader, known as the 'man in the snow', was problematic for Yato's 'restorm', the guy called the 'ice blade'." Wolfya replied:
"Originally, if you want to use the power of the dark magic source and the power of the Lord of the Dark Night to revive the "dark people", what you need should be the "Eternal Eternal Chapter" in "Dark Book". The content of the chanting at the beginning of the poem should be "Call the Dark Lord and shelter all living beings; songs to the darkest, Prania."
"But under the guidance of our Federal Council's spy, also the 'header' of the 'order', Pojun', Victor, the lost people who planned the resuscitation ceremony headed by Thunder Page mistakenly adopted the 'Resurgence Chapter' in the "Holy Word of the Orthodox Bishop."
"What's the difference between the two?" Dake said curiously.
"If it is the dark power that is inherited from "Dark Book", then Yato will naturally be immersed in the familiar "warmth" and cannot extricate himself, and be freely controlled by the "Chaos Group" and become a machine for combat and killing. Once he is awakened by the "Holy Words of the Light Power", the two conflicting forces will cause the "dark" in Yato's body to be suppressed, and eventually his brain will be restored to its sanity.
"The Manuscript of the Church of Hope mentioned that Yato is a [tempter] with enough ambitions. He once tried to establish a new organization outside the Church of Hope, gathering the children of the half-lost who were not valued together to carry out secret missions that were ulterior motives.
