Chapter 479: Determination
Northern Uffizi, the border area between Tosep and Adus.
At dusk, on the Desert Arrow train parked next to the abyss, Dorothy sat in her own carriage, staring intently at the divination coin in her hand, looking at the obverse of the "Lamp" coin with the Sun's rays printed on it.
While Vanya was talking to Cispare, Dorothy had been connected to Vanya's senses. Therefore, the contents of Cispare's report were all accurately transmitted to Dorothy's ears. Dorothy was informed of the special envoy's escort team's actions today. When Dorothy heard that the Addus Revolutionary Army was the mastermind behind the attack, she was a little surprised, so she immediately did some divination to verify it. In the end, she found that Cispare's divination was indeed correct. The divination result showed that the Addus Revolutionary Army was the mastermind behind the incident.
"Is it the Adus Revolutionary Army that planned this ambush? No... Why would they do this? According to Vanya, the Adus Revolutionary Army wrote a letter to the church, saying that they did not want to be enemies with the church and hoped to resolve their differences through negotiations. They also welcomed the special envoys sent by the church, showing an attitude of being willing to negotiate. Now they are going back on their word and want to ambush the special envoys?
"More importantly, the Adus Revolutionary Army almost overthrew the armed forces of a country. As a rebel army that was able to defeat the Adus government and invade the capital of Addis, how could they have no anti-divination defense? My divination is always correct... This is too strange..."
With her brows slightly furrowed, Dorothy thought to herself, Adus, Northern Ufia is not a small country, but a medium-sized country with a population of more than 20 million. Although its national strength is not as strong as the powers on the main continent, it is not much weaker. The overthrown Baruch Dynasty ruled Adus for nearly two decades. There must be a complete official extraordinary system operating in the dynasty. At the top of this extraordinary official system responsible for 20 million people is an extraordinary person at the level of Red Formation.
The Adus Revolutionary Army was able to overthrow the Baruch Dynasty and destroy its rule. They must have defeated Baruch's official extraordinary people at the extraordinary level, and they themselves also held the extraordinary rank of the Red Cheng level. Such a revolutionary army actually had zero defense ability against divination and could easily divine the outcome. This seemed a little incredible to Dorothy.
'There is a problem... There is definitely a problem here. In this world, how could a revolutionary army that can overthrow a dynasty have zero defense against divination? It is totally unreasonable to be able to divine the result in one go... This is Beiwufei. There are many relics of the First Dynasty underground. Some "Qi" can be mined from each of them. Most of the "Qi" stored on the surface now comes from Beiwu. Now suddenly it is said that a revolutionary army in Beiwu has no anti-divination defense? This is too abstract.'
Dorothy sat in her seat and thought deeply. She had already thought of some possibilities for this strange phenomenon.
'Perhaps... maybe when the Revolutionary Army and the Baruch Dynasty were head-on, both sides used up all their Qi reserves in the divination war, and now they haven't had time to replenish them? This is indeed a possibility... After all, the Baruch Dynasty is a dynasty that has accumulated nearly two decades of resources, and it must have a lot of anti-divination resources. If the Revolutionary Army and the Kingdom Army start a divination war, even if the Revolutionary Army wins, the outcome will not be much better.'
Dorothy imagined it in her heart. If it were in the past, she would have just thought about it at most. But now it was different. After confirming that the other party had no divination defense, she could do a few more divinations to obtain more information.
Having made up her mind, Dorothy took out another "light" storage coin from her pocket and put it in her hand. These "light" storage coins were the ammunition in the sniper rifle's Focused Flame. Originally, the people from Bajian had loaded five coins into it at once, and she only fired one shot and used two of them for low power consumption, leaving three.
"Have the anti-divination resources of the Adus Revolutionary Army been exhausted..."
Dorothy said the divination, then threw a coin and slapped it on the back of her hand. After she took her hand away, the coin that had lost its luster appeared to be lying quietly on the back of Dorothy's hand with the reverse side. This divination result directly denied Dorothy's divination, which means that the Adus Revolutionary Army now has anti-divination resources. Seeing this divination result, Dorothy's expression immediately became intriguing.
"It turns out that there are still anti-divination resources... But the anti-divination is completely ineffective. This is interesting. They have anti-divination but they don't use it. Is there something wrong with their anti-divination system? Or..."
Dorothy thought so, then she took out a "lamp" coin, said the divination and threw it.
"Is there a huge internal conflict within the Adus Revolutionary Army..."
As the divination sounded, the coin spinning in the air fell on the back of Dorothy's hand. Dorothy covered it and slowly moved it away. Then, the coin appeared on her hand with the front side facing up.
Looking at the divination puzzle in front of her, Dorothy's eyes became playful.
…
While Dorothy was doing her divination to confirm the truth behind the ambush she had just experienced, Vanya in the front carriage was also facing a difficult decision.
After Espare reported the results of the investigation into the ambush to Vanya, he immediately suggested that Vanya immediately stop her journey to Addis and turn back at the next station, because the Addis revolutionary army had no sincerity and continuing to go to Addis would only mean suicide. Espare's suggestion made Vanya extremely distressed and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
On the one hand, the result of the divination showed the hostility of the revolutionary army. It was really dangerous to continue to go to the enemy's base camp. It was unreasonable to go there if you didn't know that the enemy wanted to kill you. On the other hand, Vanya was told to complete the journey as much as possible before she set off. No matter whether the negotiation could be successful or not, it was better to negotiate and come back after the result was reached. Remember not to give up halfway. Although Vanya herself felt overwhelmed by the mission that was suddenly imposed on her, she reluctantly accepted it and sincerely wanted to promote this peace negotiation and prevent Adus from suffering the ravages of war. As a person who grew up with the teachings of the Virgin Mary, she was kind-hearted.
The danger ahead and her own mission, such contradictions were intertwined in Vanya's heart, making Vanya unable to make up her mind for a moment, and the distress of hesitation was vivid on her face. Standing in front of Vanya, Sparre was silently waiting for Vanya's response. He silently watched the hesitation of the nun in white in front of him, waiting for her decision.
Suddenly, a familiar and subtle voice sounded in Vanya's heart. After hearing this voice, Vanya's expression suddenly froze, and then slowly relaxed. Then her eyes became firm, and she spoke to Sipare.
"Father Cispare, I think... we should keep going."
After listening to Vanya's words, Sipare paused for a moment, a strange glimmer appeared in his eyes, and then he continued in a serious tone.
"Sister Vanya, you have to think carefully. Addis is now the headquarters of the revolutionary army. Everyone there may be hostile to you and want to kill you... The danger there is many times more dangerous than today's ambush. If the entire revolutionary army wants to attack you, we will not be able to protect your safety."
