The situation at the Great Wall is more serious than Duke Ferdinand initially expected.
The elves are an ancient and proud race - proud but not arrogant - with a long history of cultural heritage and powerful natural strength that make this race as confident and full of a certain sense of responsibility as the humans of Gondor back then. , since the destruction of the Gondor Empire and the collapse of half of the civilizational poles of the entire continent, the Silver Empire, driven by the sense of responsibility of a great power, has become the defender of the magnificent wall and the monitor of the wasteland. For seven hundred years, they have performed their duties meticulously. In accordance with the responsibilities of the Holy Covenant, Duke Ferdinand knew very well that if the barrier had not really undergone a huge change, the proud elves would never send envoys to warn the countries - and ask for help.
The Grand Duke paid attention to the expression of Emperor Rosetta. From His Majesty's expression, he knew that the other party had confirmed the authenticity of what the elf said, so he turned to look at Shiva: "Your plan It's to reinforce the barrier - so what exactly do you want us to do?"
"We plan to set up amplifying devices near several major sentinel towers, and we all know the technology of the amplifying devices. "Yes, but we don't have enough manpower and resources - even if we have enough manpower and resources, we don't have time to allocate them to the entire magnificent wall," the elf envoy said, "The wasteland in the middle of the continent blocks traffic, from Silver It takes a long way for the empire to reach the northern part of the continent. We took a giant eagle to get here within half a month - but the giant eagle cannot be used to transport large amounts of goods."
At this time. , Rosetta Augustus finally spoke: "Typhon is happy to repair that barrier. After all, that barrier is also our lifeblood - but what about other countries?"
"We have already asked Every human kingdom has sent a messenger," Shiva said. "The messenger sent to the Augure Tribal Nation should have arrived a few days ago, and the messenger sent to Ansu set out earlier than us and should have arrived now. "< /p>
"The Augure tribe has been paying attention to the Great Wall for many years. They should respond to your warning soon, but Ansu..." Emperor Rosetta said in a low voice, "That country is Caught in a civil strife, I don't know if they can still fulfill their sacred covenant duties."
"...We have received news about this," Shiva said with regret after a moment of silence. , due to the existence of the Great Wall communication network, the elves are relatively well-informed about the entire continent. The civil war in Anzu was introduced to the Silver Empire half a year ago. "We are very sorry about this. The descendants of the former allies should not be at odds like this." ...But no matter what, the safety of the magnificent wall is related to the life and death of civilization. They should know... now is not the time to continue the civil war."
"As you said, the people of the four countries of mankind are all stubborn. Descendants of the Duo Empire, the ancient glory of our ancestors should not be tarnished by prejudice and short-sightedness. I believe that those glorious bloodlines are still flowing in the Ansu people's veins - as long as they have not completely forgotten all this, they will know what to do. "Yes," said Rosetta Augustus solemnly.said, then stood up, "As for Typhon... we will fulfill our responsibilities under the sacred covenant and repair the barrier."
The elf envoy stood up and bent down in front of Emperor Rosetta. Go: "You are worthy of the name Augustus."
Rosetta nodded: "Envoys, please go and rest first. I want to discuss the specific material mobilization and personnel with my advisors. Arrangement issue."
Several elf envoys left under the guidance of the waiter, and for a while only Emperor Typhon and Duke Ferdinand were left in the reception room.
The emperor sat back on his chair, his upper body sunk deep into the shadow of the back of the chair: "Qing Pei Dinan, do you think the situation of the Magnificent Wall has deteriorated to this point?"
p>"The elves will not joke about this issue - and with their way of doing things, if the barrier had not deteriorated to a certain extent, they would not have come to the human countries for help."
"I think so too," Rosetta nodded slightly, "The astrologers reported the abnormal changes in the sun, and the garrison on the border also witnessed the abnormal movements of the magnificent wall. The evidence is there and cannot be ignored."
"Then we do want to..."
"Fulfill the sacred covenant, no doubt," Rosetta said, "I have seen the drawings brought by the elves, and Typhon is responsible for The restoration work will be divided into two parts. One part is in the southwest, and I will appoint Duke Severn to go there. The other part is in the northwest, near Winter Wolf Castle - I will go there myself."
Pedinan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him. Lu was surprised: "Your Majesty, do you want to go in person?"
"That's right," Rosetta nodded slightly, "That tower is where Typhon died while guarding, so I must go in person. . ”
This is a reason that cannot be dissuaded.
Seven hundred years ago, when the Four Kingdoms were first established, the human territory was far less secure than it is now. In order to stop the wasteland from infiltrating outwards, the elves and other countries joined forces to build the current magnificent wall. One of the key The node is on the northwest frontier of Typhon - the sentinel tower at that key node took three full years to build. It is the last of all the sentinel towers to be completed, and it is also the last step in the closing of the entire magnificent wall. For this final For one step, Typhon paid the most painful price.
When each section of the magnificent wall was activated one by one, and the chaotic magic energy and endless aberration monsters in the wasteland were blocked on that scorched earth, the power of the demonic tide launched the largest counterattack. Chaos magic energy and aberrations with nowhere to go swarmed towards the last gap in the barrier, and launched a fierce battle with the human and elven coalition forces on the northwest border of Typhon. The counterattacking aberration army even approached the sentinels for a time. At the foot of the tower, in order to delay the attack of the aberrations and buy time for the elf technicians to activate the tower, the entire knights of the Guards led by Lord Typhon, and even the king himself, died at the foot of the tower.
"Andesa and the Winter Wolves led by her will be responsible for my safety," Rosetta looked at the old Duke in front of her and said unhurriedly, "While I am away, you will be in charge of state affairs, Mr. Pedinan. "
Facing Emperor Typhon's penetrating gaze, Ferdinand Wendell took a deep breath.
"I will live up to your trust, Your Majesty. "
Duke Ferdinand left.
Only the Typhonian ruler was left in the room.
Rosetta Augustus sat In the large armchair, he stared expressionlessly at the fire in the fireplace not far away. The fire was jumping endlessly. In the ever-changing light and shadow of the flames, two hazy shadows suddenly rose up. And they followed the firelight spilling from the furnace to the ground, and came to Rosetta step by step.
They condensed into human shapes, with long blond hair, pointed ears, and the same appearance.
The Twins laughed softly and said to the emperor in front of them: "Look, as we said, there will be a problem with that wall, a problem that the Silver Empire cannot solve... They will come to you as expected. . "
Rosetta glanced at the Elf Twins in front of her expressionlessly: "You don't seem to care that you are also from the Silver Empire. "
The Elf Twins were still smiling: "Our cause goes beyond the concept of the country. From a certain perspective, aren't you and us the same? "
"I'm different from you, I trust the power of the country," Rosetta said lightly, "You came here just to discuss this with me, right? "
"Of course not," the voices of the Elf Twins overlapped together, with a sense of a rhyme version, "We want to ask you, have you... given up on Anzu? "
"Of course not, but now is not the time to take action," Rosetta said. "The cost and benefit have not yet reached the optimal balance... The blood of the Ansu people has not been drained yet... "
The Elf Twins came to Rosetta, walking around the Emperor Typhon as if strolling in a leisurely manner, and chanted in surprise: "Still calm..." "Accurate calculations..." "Full of confidence..." "Incredible..."
Finally, they all said in unison: "You are such an incredible person - after facing the truth, you are sober today. "
Rosetta looked at the impolite and even offensive behavior of the Elf Twins indifferently, as if they were watching a farce. Finally, he waved his hand: "If there is nothing more important, Don't waste your time with me - there are a group of high-level rangers and elf messengers in this palace now, and they will not be merciful to the exile. "
The Elf Twins finally stopped their "chairside stroll". They smiled, faced Rosetta, and walked backwards toward the fireplace: "Ah, your threat is really effective, and we are happy to cooperate." ..."
Their figures gradually faded in the air, merging little by little with the firelight behind them. Before they left completely, Rosetta spoke: "Don't forget what you have to do. thing. ”
“Don’t worry, all things will eventually perish.You value credibility more than you do. Ansu's blood will continue to flow..." The figures of the Elf Twins have disappeared, and their voices continue to come from the fire, becoming more and more distant and ethereal, "We only take what we need, The rest belongs to you..."
The figures and voices of the Elf Twins finally disappeared completely, and the faint magic fluctuations in the room also completely calmed down.
Rosetta Ogu Stuart was silent alone in the room. After a long time, he whispered to himself: "There must be... a powerful empire..."
He stood up and came to the place where the magic reaction had been lost. , next to the fireplace that turned into an ordinary flame, he watched the flames changing and dancing in the furnace, then bent down and carefully placed the frame decorated with sharp spikes in front of the furnace.
At the same time, in the city of St. Sunil, the capital of Anzu, a giant gray-brown eagle flapped its wings across the sky.
The citizens of St. Sunil are familiar with griffins, because griffins are upper-class nobles. It is the messenger and air vehicle most commonly used by the royal family, but few humans know about the giant eagles from the south - those huge birds of prey are like dark clouds passing over Iron Cross Street and Crown Street, the tail feathers of the giant eagles and The chest and abdomen were also decorated with green and silver ribbons, and they flew straight towards the Silver Castle, arousing the curiosity and attention of countless witnesses.
Only those with the best eyes caught a glimpse. I saw the figure on the back of the giant eagle - the elf.
On the upper terrace of Silver Castle, Victoria Wilder quietly stared at the sky, watching the raptors that had flown across half of the continent land on Silver. On the gryphon platform on the flank of the fort - there is no giant eagle perch here, so the gryphon platform can only be vacated for the giant eagles of the elves to land. The white-feathered gryphons who were temporarily driven to the north tower were coming from the tower at this time. The head poked out of the window and screamed loudly at the giant gray-brown eagles.
“The elf messenger has arrived. "
Beside Victoria, Archduke Baldwin Franklin whispered to himself.
"It seems that the situation of the Great Wall is really not good," Victoria There was a hint of coldness in his tone, "What's funny is that until yesterday, those nobles were still discussing in the meeting what conspiracy there was in the warning of the Grand Duke of the South. ”
On the griffon platform, the elf messengers were jumping off their mounts one by one. One of the female elf with short golden hair looked at the noisy lions on the tower with slight dissatisfaction. The vulture glanced at him: "The gryphons in the north are really unpleasant when they curse people. "
"Gryphons have always been the best at swearing," another messenger said helplessly, "Our giant eagles may have occupied their nest. "
The short-haired elf curled his lips and turned to look at his giant eagle. The latter also turned his head and looked at his master for no apparent reason.
The short-haired elf ninja He couldn't help sighing: "Bai Chang is such a big guy, he can't even quarrel. ”
“Gugu? ”
“Let me tell you, there must be something wrong with my eagle, it has a really strong accent...”
