Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 71: Help

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-!!!"

"Make way! Make way!"

In the heart of the capital, before the Four Towers of Miracles, the emperor ran wildly all the way to the bottom of the towers, where he frantically pounded on the gate.

"Grandpa Oswald, help! Help!"

"Open the door! The empire is doomed!"

Tsk.

Above the capital, a high-ranking official could no longer tolerate this behavior and raised his hand to stop it.

However, his actions were stopped by the leader.

"He has that authority."

As they were talking, the emperor hurriedly pulled out a seal, which actually opened the gates of the Four Towers of Miracles.

He slipped inside like that.

The chief continued, “The founder of the empire, who is also the grandfather of the current emperor, was acquainted with my teacher, and that seal represents a promise between them.”

"Let him be."

"... "

The other higher-ranking officials remained silent.

Only the second seatman's expression was slightly strange.

Let him go?
I'm afraid he's not the only one who wants to go in and take a look.

Despite this thought, the second seat holder did not express any opinion.

He acquiesced.

Everyone stared intently at the four towers, remaining silent. Even the army of the Ideal Community outside the city seemed insignificant.

The current situation is a natural consequence.

No one overstepped the bounds.

...

"Is nobody here?"

Wang Ji was speechless.

He looked at one of the people brought back by his informant in the capital and asked:
"You're Giovanni?"

"it's me."

A somewhat reserved figure answered cautiously.

'Is this the sage? He's so young.'

Looking at this meritorious official, the former Imperial Secretary, who had provided a great deal of important information, Wang Ji nodded and, without further ado, asked directly:

"Do you know the situation inside the city? What about the Imperial Legion?"

“Your Excellency, as far as I know, they have all fled for their lives.”

Giovanni said, "Not even the great nobles are willing to stand up and resist. According to the information I have gathered, a considerable number of them are preparing to surrender."

"surrender?"

Upon hearing this word, not only Wang Ji, but everyone around him had subtle expressions.

Seeing what everyone was thinking, Giovanni said with a hint of helplessness:

"I don't want to call myself a smart person, but there are really too few people in the empire's high command who are willing to use their brains."

"Many people are unwilling to carefully understand the model of the ideal community, nor are they willing to spend time doing their research. They simply think it is a new sect that promotes good ideas, or a second empire."

"I presented all the information I could gather about the ideal community to the decision-makers of the empire, and carefully analyzed and broke down the information for all the high-ranking officials to see, but still not many people could understand it."

“I found that their focus was not on the system or ideas of an ideal community, but on its power and sphere of influence.”

"These people are still thinking about giving up a part of their rights, property, and even their companions in order to continue to maintain their aristocratic lifestyle."

"This is really..."

Wang Ji shook his head and said, "There's nothing more to say."

"Everyone get ready. Once the magic network is set up, launch an attack immediately and make the empire disappear from history."

"Please wait a moment."

At this moment, Giovanni suddenly called out to Wang Ji.

He nervously handed over the map and documents, saying, "This is a map of the military deployment in the capital that I compiled overnight, along with location markers for various noble estates and reports from relevant personnel."

"Due to time constraints, it may be a bit rough around the edges, but I hope..."

As they were talking, Giovanni noticed that Wang Ji had already begun to carefully examine the document, and he was doing so very quickly.

I would glance at it and then turn the page.

This left Giovanni somewhat stunned.

Is he really watching?

Looking back on past experiences that were often dismissed or ignored, Giovanni was somewhat unsure.

But it doesn't matter anymore; I'm used to it anyway, and the outcome of the battle is clearly a foregone conclusion, so whether I have this information or not doesn't really matter...

"Great!"

After a brief silence, Wang Ji suddenly grasped Giovanni's hand and said, "There's no need to be overly modest. This intelligence is very detailed and will save us a lot of trouble."

Looking at the earnest-looking boy before him, Giovanni was momentarily at a loss for words. "I... ah..."

After patting Giovanni on the shoulder, Wang Ji immediately summoned all key combat commanders.

After a brief wait, under Wang Ji's orders, Mo Lin had already set up the magic network, covering the capital.

However, Wang Ji also kept a watchful eye.

This magic network is a miniature local area network, not connected to the vast public network of the Ideal Community, and is only used as a temporary network for operations in the capital.

In this way, even if problems arise, they won't cause too much harm.

The data was uploaded to the local area network by Wang Ji and sent to everyone.

Wang Ji issued a message stating: "The intelligence source is former Imperial Secretary Giovanni. I have verified its accuracy. Everyone must read it carefully."

"receive."

With intelligence sharing, the entire legion immediately sprang into action, updating information.

Efficient, fast, and methodical…

Completely different from an empire.

Feeling the scene before him, and seeing the occasional approving and respectful glances, Giovanni's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.

For the first time... this seems to be the first time that the fruits of my hard work have been valued and have actually become practical.

Not only the decision-makers, but also the soldiers, were carefully reading the reports they had compiled and trying to understand the information with their minds, rather than glancing at them and then spouting nonsense.

A wonderful feeling rose within Giovanni, making him straighten his chest and feel incredibly grounded.

But... so many people are watching?

Giovanni suddenly became a little nervous again.

Will there be any typos? Will it cause reading difficulties?

Are these soldiers all literate? I wonder if they can understand some of the technical terms. I should have written it more plainly. Also, there are the markings and descriptions on the map, and the issues with directions…

Giovanni was lost in thought.

But he soon realized that his worries were indeed a bit unnecessary.

After distributing the data, Wang Ji called Mo Lin over, and the two immediately began working together to create a simple map program and connect it to the local area network.

Now everyone can see the map, and there are zoom-in and zoom-out functions, as long as they have an internet connection.

Due to time and technical issues, location tracking wasn't possible, but a real-time map is sufficient.

The capital city has become completely transparent.

As the legion began to advance and gradually approached the high walls of the capital, Wang Ji couldn't help but look up at the five high-ranking officials once again.

"They do seem to be very trustworthy."

He wasn't just randomly flipping through the documents; while looking at them, he was openly using magic to explore the capital and verify the terrain.

The five high-ranking officials simply watched without reacting at all.

The walls of the capital were incredibly sturdy.

But anything that can be destroyed will have a similar effect to a cobblestone at this moment.

Besides, there's hardly anyone guarding it now; the city gates are opened so easily that it's as if they're not there at all.

Looking at the city before him, Wang Ji suddenly felt like laughing, and a phrase inexplicably came to mind:

It's easier to get in by force than by exam.

"Then what happens next..."

Without thinking about anything else, Wang Ji flew into the city.

But the moment he entered the capital city, he suddenly stopped.

A change has occurred.

Wang Ji quickly opened the page for the Spell Master, only to find that a large portion of the spell page was grayed out.

Specifically, spells of level 6 and above have all turned gray and are unusable.

"Hehe, did you notice?"

At this moment, the second seat suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ji, looking like he was watching a good show.

Seeing Wang Ji's wary attitude, he said, "Don't be wary of me. If I wanted to make a move, I would have done it already. Why would I wait until you start to be wary?"

"I'm here to offer you some kind reminders... and help."

“In the capital, even for a minor level six spell, ‘we’ have to go through a process and apply before we can use it, and this permission is also time-limited.”

“There have been foolish people who thought that the staff was a magical artifact for us to use in our magic and tried to steal it, not knowing that it was actually what limited us.”

"Even advanced magical languages ​​are merely tools to help the weak; they are of no use to us."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Wang Ji asked directly.

The second seatmate smiled and said, "I already told you I'm here to help you, why don't you believe me?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I have applied for Level 6 spell access for you. You can use it as you please, don't be shy."

After saying that, he left.

"Playing tricks."

Although it felt a bit strange, Wang Ji did not back down.

After all, we've come this far, there's no turning back now.
