Chapter 684: Information in the Mist

In the brightly lit study, the ruler of the Typhon Empire and tonight's uninvited guest faced each other in silence.

In the past hour, Rosetta Augustus learned about the boldest, most secretive, and craziest plan in the world - the limit of mortal ambition, which made the emperor confused for a long time. No words.

"In the face of a plan that lasts for thousands of years, any temporary failures and setbacks are insignificant. This must not be difficult to understand from your perspective," the voices of Fierna & Leerna Finally breaking the silence, "His Majesty the Emperor, do you have any doubts about the authenticity of the 'Disobedience Plan'?"

"Before discussing whether it is true or false, I am more curious about why you are here. "Look for me," Rosetta stared at the Elf Twins in front of her, "Are you eager to find a new investment target?"

"Should we go find that Gawain Cecil?" Erna laughed, "There are not many visionary leaders. Apart from Gawain Cecil, you are the only suitable choice."

Ferna followed closely and said: "Luo Your Majesty Seta Augustus, the successor of the Augustus bloodline, this is not the first time we have contacted you. We know what kind of crazy shadow you and your family are facing..."

Fierna followed in Leerna's footsteps: "So, as long as you think about it for a moment, you will realize that what we are talking about is Really, and at the same time, we realize that we should be natural allies."

The Elf Twins stopped in front of Emperor Rosetta's desk, smiled like mirror images, and said in unison: "You need it. To fight against the madness brought by the gods, we need new allies. We need each other."

Rosetta looked at the twins and raised her hands slightly: "Stay back."

Elf. The twins immediately returned to their original position: "As you wish."

"According to you, the Disobedience Plan is a secret plan of the Gondor Empire, directly controlled by its royal family, then you two elves How does it have anything to do with this plan?" Rosetta's face was as dark as water, as if she was not moved by the persuasion of the two elves just now, but was still full of vigilance and doubts.

"The Disobedience Project is indeed a legacy of the Human Empire, but humans are not the only ones involved in this plan - a considerable part of it requires the knowledge of druids, and the Silver Elves are the majority of druids. Source," Leerna responded calmly, "We were scholars secretly recruited by the Gondor Empire and worked for it a thousand years ago. The demonic tide seven hundred years ago interrupted our work and we had to return temporarily. The Silver Empire was the birth of the Mortal Society that made us realize that this undertaking is not over yet - we return to our mission until today."

"As elves of the Silver Empire, you serve Gondor and have not told your home country the secret of the rebellious plan?"

"...Elves are not suitable for the world. We have our own reasons for large-scale contact and disobeying the plan."

Rosetta stared at the Elf Twins in front of him. After staring for half a minute, he slightly looked back: "All things will eventually perish. Birth... What did the leaders of the three dark sects see on the Peak of the Ancestors seven hundred years ago?"

Filna and Leerna looked at each other, and then spoke at the same time: "If your ancestors saw the fragments of a puzzle in the collapse of the old imperial capital, what the leaders of the three religions saw at the Peak of the Ancestors was the entire puzzle.

"They arrived at the Kingdom of God and saw To the birth and destruction of the gods—and to the nature and destined end of the gods.

"Gondor scholars a thousand years ago believed that the gods were gradually approaching madness and would destroy the mortal world in the final stage due to madness, but they actually got one thing wrong - —The gods did not approach madness

“The gods were already mad the moment mortals began to think. "

Rosetta didn't speak for a while, but thought for a moment, and then he shook his head: "I've heard enough of these vague ancient fables, let's talk about something practical - the Holy Spirit What happened on the plains? What did the All-Death Council do, and what did those Cecilians do? "

"We have left Ansu before the decisive battle, so I'm afraid I can't give you too detailed information, but there are some things we still know -" the Elf Twins replied, "All things will end. The Death Society created an artificial god, but this artificial god fell into madness from the beginning, and those Cecil people... they destroyed this artificial god in the White Sand Hills area. "

Rosetta's eyes instantly became sharp and deep. After a brief pause, she slowly asked: "An artificial god? How strong is it? Are the Cecilians capable of destroying such an artificial god? What price did they pay? ”

“The artificial gods are fakes, but their power is still stronger than any earthly creature you know. As for the Cecil people... they seem to have allies to help them, but we don’t have them yet.” Know who their allies are. "

After thinking briefly, Rosetta nodded, leaned back into her chair, and said in a cold voice: "I understand - this conversation is over. "

This time, the Elf Twins, who had always maintained a confident expression, finally couldn't help showing a surprised look: "You are not going to accept our cooperation? "

"Did I say I wanted to accept it? "Rosetta glanced at the two elves with a half-smile, "I admit that your words are indeed very seductive, but there is one thing you are wrong about-"

The two elves looked at each other. They glanced at each other and said in unison: "Which thing? ”

“I will not discuss cooperation with cultists.——You are not qualified yet. "

"Then before you..."

"It was just a use," Rosetta raised her right hand slightly, "Now, it is also a use. ”

The Elf Twins finally noticed the powerful magic power secretly accumulated by the Typhon ruler. Their expressions changed instantly, and countless poisonous vines came out of thin air between the floor and the wall. Like a sharp arrow, they stabbed at Emperor Rosetta behind the desk, while they themselves were enveloped in green brilliance at the same time. They instantly transformed into small nightingales in the light curtain, rushing straight towards the nearby window——

A series of explosions suddenly exploded in the study, and countless winding and split electric lights spread with Rosetta as the center, instantly burning the poisonous vines to ashes, and then he attacked two more The nightingale waved her hand, and arcane barriers condensed like crystal barriers, blocking the escape path of the Elf Twins.

The two nightingales simultaneously emitted sweet but chilling chirps, one after another invisible. Ripples rippled in the air, hindering the closing of the arcane barrier. The magic power stirred up layers of sparks, jumping around in the study room. As the sparks splashed, a slender black shadow passed through the arcane barrier. The gap between them disappeared in the busy night outside the window in an instant, while another shadow was captured by the magic cage formed by the arcane barrier, dashed left and right, and then fell to the ground.

Rose. Only then did Tower Augustus stand up from behind the desk. There were jumping arcane arcs around him. He stepped on the floor of the study room where smoke was still rising. He came to the nightingale that fell to the ground, his face expressionless. He looked down at the latter with an expression: "It would be good to catch one..." However, as soon as he finished speaking, the nightingale suddenly twisted and trembled, and then was quickly haloed by a ball of light. Shrouded and swallowed, it turned into shimmering particles scattered by the wind, and completely disappeared before Rosetta's eyes in a few seconds.

Rosetta watched this scene quietly until the remaining part of the nightingale. The magic reaction completely disappeared, and he whispered to himself softly with a hint of thoughtfulness: "The so-called 'Twins'... turned out to be just one person... It's quite interesting. ”

A burst of slightly messy footsteps came from the corridor. The door of the study was pushed open from the outside. Several palace guards and a palace mage wearing a purple starry robe appeared in Rosetta. In front of them, these belated guards saw the messy scene in the study, and the expressions on their faces became particularly exciting. After a moment of hesitation, the leading court mage organized his sentences, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, here... "

"A visitor came late at night, but it's a pity that she didn't want to stay for a while longer," Rosetta waved her hand, indicating to the guards not to be nervous, "Just clean it up, it's all trivial matters. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. "

Rosetta Augustus nodded slightly, then swept his eyes across the nearby bookshelves and walls, and landed on the map not far away.

He stared at Typhon and the border of the "Kingdom of Anzu"

The king of Anzu.The power has ended, and this map should be changed.

......

At the Typhon border, in the Winter Wolf Castle, Andesa Wendell was looking away from the combat map.

Changfeng Fortress and Winter Wolf Fort are facing each other far away, with only a plain between them. The "peace agreement" between the two countries is still in effect, and a copy of the mithril of the agreement is still stored in the treaty fortress in the center of the plain. , however, a tense atmosphere is constantly brewing in this confrontation zone.

Changfeng Fortress is increasing its troops, and Winter Wolf Fort is also increasing its troops. The border troops of both sides have almost doubled in just one month. Their respective reconnaissance troops are in the control zone and the buffer zone. Traveling back and forth, various intelligence agents are working hard to infiltrate towns and villages near the border. No one breaks the situation, but everyone is silently doing the same thing - a kind of irony A "tacit understanding" has been established between the two opposing parties. What is even more ironic than this "tacit understanding of war" is that cross-border trade activities are still going on as usual, and have even expanded in scale recently.

Andersa is a military general, but not a foolhardy one. She can see a lot of information from the trade orders circulating in the levels she controls. The expansion of the order size and the merchants' Being active means two things: first, Ansu's vitality has not been too damaged in the previous war, and they are still able to purchase and digest a large amount of supplies. Second, the Cecil family has completed the war against the East. Therefore, merchants carrying Cecil's emblem will appear in large numbers in the checkpoint areas of Eastern Territory and Typhon.

The young General Wolf couldn't help but pinch the center of his eyebrows to relieve the pressure accumulated in her head, and a knock on the door came from outside the room at the right time, interrupting her thoughts.

"Come in."

The door opened and a young knight walked into the room.

"General, there is new information," the young knight came to Andesa, and after saluting, he reported the report neatly, "Another troop of about two thousand people entered Changfeng from the northwest. Fortress, this team bears the emblem of the Mountain Corps, but the leading general is unknown and is not someone we are familiar with."

"Another two thousand people have been added..." Andersa frowned, " ...Their mountain regiment suffered heavy losses. Where did they find so many supplementary soldiers?"

The knight's adjutant has been following Andesa for many years and is also an experienced officer himself. At this moment, he expressed his conjecture: "Perhaps they are just northern private soldiers under the banner of the Mountain Corps, and the Ansu people are bluffing."

"Using private soldiers with low combat effectiveness to disguise themselves as ace troops... ...Maybe it's possible, but it doesn't matter. Even if they bring in all those private soldiers to show off, the number is still limited after all, and they shouldn't have more supplementary soldiers." Andersa shook her head, "It's just that However, His Majesty's order is not to take the initiative to attack before the actual situation is found out, in order to avoid falling into a trap. We still have to wait until we understand the specific military strength of Changfeng Fortress before we can act. "

The knight's adjutant looked at his superior. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but said: "General, do you think we can fight again this year?"

Andersa looked at it. He glanced at the young man and said, "Do you want to fight?"

"Of course," the young knight immediately raised his head, "It is the duty of a knight to fight for honor on the battlefield - not to mention that we are still in winter. Wolf Legion."

Looking at this enthusiastic subordinate, Andesa couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

With the deepening of His Majesty's New Deal, a large number of small nobles in the empire have been affected by the New Deal. The traditional life of the nobles who relied on land, income, and offerings became unsustainable. These small families set their sights on the military. In terms of meritorious service - making meritorious deeds on the battlefield is the best way to maintain the family and gain wealth under today's imperial policies. Therefore, a large number of small nobles with lower backgrounds like the young knight in front of them have joined the army.

Of course, magic industry is now emerging in the empire. This is also a way for small and medium-sized nobles to have a chance to return to glory. However, investing in emerging industries requires not only courage and vision, but also a foundation. Financial resources and connections, this path is not suitable for everyone.

"I think so," Andesa gathered her thoughts and exhaled softly, but her father's face flashed through her mind, "Don't worry, this battle will eventually begin. ."
