The news William brought had a profound impact on the peace conference. Before the morning dew had dried on the next day, the Grand Master of the Farenzan Knights bid farewell to the representatives of the convening nations and set off north to return to the Farenzan Empire. If the northern defense line is lost, the entire Faenzan region will be undefendable in the next war. The worst plan may be to go into exile in San Osol with the Cruz Empire. Considering the worst case scenario, The possibility is extremely high, and the envoys from the Ten Cities Region and Airland Tower have also bid farewell. People must prepare for disaster in advance.
After a large number of representatives from participating countries left, the atmosphere in Manktor became tense, but people's connections became closer. The quarrels between different ethnic groups that could occasionally be seen before have now disappeared. . Maybe it was because they no longer wanted to argue, or maybe it was the underlying emotion of sharing the same breath and destiny that allowed people to find more common ground, but in short, before the inevitable disaster came, people were surprisingly silent and united.
There are fewer people talking about things, but there are more people doing things.
People began to discuss Warnd's future pragmatically. Some people pointed out that the Four Frontiers had accepted too many refugees from Cruz, Toquinin and Hazel, greatly exceeding its capacity limit, and many civilians were unable to survive. Due to lack of food and shelter, many people died last winter, and many more people found it difficult to survive this year's increasingly cold winter. Even in summer, the spread of various diseases has claimed many lives.
Many nobles are willing to donate their wealth to contribute to this war, but wealth has lost its own meaning by this time. It is impossible for the sylphs to produce enough food and other materials to feed the population of two or three empires. Supplies - Although the population of the Cruz, Toquinin and Hazel people has been greatly reduced, the old and frail people often fall on the road of migration and escape.
Lord Lorraine Dale proposed that the sylphs give up a piece of land, and cede the land east of the White Mountains and the Wilderness of the Four Realms to the refugees. There are not many sylphs living in these places, so that the refugees can settle, cultivate and develop here. Production, on the one hand, can also alleviate the problem of insufficient productivity caused by the population of the sylphs.
As for the past two years, the wind elves' food stocks can still barely sustain it - although there is a risk of using up all the emergency supplies in Saint Osol. But Eastover, who has a long-term vision, also sees clearly that if you can't cope with the present, there will be no future.
¡°Two years later, the redeveloped Four Realms Wilderness will be able to feed back this war¡ª¡ª
The generosity and generosity of the wind elves moved every participating country. Countries in the Silver Bay region and even on the Great Plains also stood up and expressed their willingness to accept gifts from the Farnzan and Ellanta regions. Immigration, and even in order to preserve the integrity of the two empires, the countries on the Great Plains also took the initiative to plan a plan to jointly divide the lords and recreate Faenzan and Ellanta on the Great Plains.
This is an unimaginably grand plan in the history of civilization. More than forty kingdoms, large and small, voluntarily ceded their territories to the principality in order to rebuild a powerful empire. No one shied away from this plan, and no one backed down from this plan. Everyone was enthusiastic about it, and it developed to the point where the grand leader of the Supreme Judgment Knights was actually moved to tears on the spot at the venue.
What is civilized consciousness?
This is the consciousness of civilization.
In the face of a real disaster, the choice of civilization is not to retreat, but to spontaneously save itself. As every individual in society, they choose to give up their own interests and succumb to the future of the whole; because this is out of the pursuit of beauty and progress, When people have become accustomed to everything today, they will no longer go back to accept the barbaric era of eating hair and drinking blood.
Today here, no matter he is a noble or a commoner, a king or a beggar, everyone is sitting here equally, discussing about tomorrow, the future and hope.
The huge bureaucracy accumulated by various countries over thousands of years is now operating with unprecedented efficiency. Only in such an era can you see such aristocratic officials without any prevarication, and everyone exerts their greatest enthusiasm for hard work. All red tape will be cut out and simplified. Just two days later, Cruz and the nobles of Saint Osol finalized the reclamation plan of the Four Territories, divided the areas, and resettled the refugees. A week later, the first batch of refugees had already begun to rebuild with the help of officials. their home.
Half a month later, people re-formulated a complete battle plan, and the generals reached a consensus-if the worst-case scenario occurred, then the Cruz people, the wind elves, Madara, and the Toquining lions would , the Hazel people and the Eruin people must launch a campaign against the four-border wilderness in the east to the Anzeruta-Anzlova line in the south, to the Evergreen Corridor-Metz line in the east, and to Ludwig in the north. and FarnzananA front-line autumn offensive in order to regain Cruz, the Holy White Plains and the Hazel Plateau before the real decisive battle.
The number of troops used in this war was as high as 1.2 million, which is almost an unimaginable number in this era. It almost exceeded the total number of troops used in all wars in the past century, including the second holy war. In order to ensure the coordination of the 1.2 million army under the command conditions of this era, at the suggestion of Andrea, the leader of the war goddess, Brando asked Isis through the witches to open Tiama, the dragon of war. special permissions.
These thirty-six satellite groups named 'Tiamat' suspended outside the elemental boundary of Warnd, in addition to serving as a platform for space-based weapons, are actually the central command system of the Earth Guard.
The Bugas and their servants will prepare the logistics of this army. In addition to providing fire support on the battlefield, more than four floating fleets will also participate in the protection of logistics routes; and the silver wizards promised, They will fully activate the production line and produce more than a thousand transport ships of various types in the next year.
And Valhalla gave up their cloud giant craftsmen, allowing the plan to be realized three months ahead of schedule.
St. Osor, the Silver Bay countries, and countries large and small on the Great Plains voluntarily gave up their various private or state-owned mines and mines, unified their limited resources, and concentrated them in the hands of the Buga people. . Because only silver wizards can produce the best war equipment in the world, and these silver people, who have mastered the knowledge of the world, have also begun to teach their knowledge among mortals for the first time.
In the early autumn of the Year of the Swift, the first batch of more than 7,000 human and elf craftsmen entered the cities of several wizards such as Kanaiqi, and began to learn the inheritance of craftsman wizards more systematically.
A month before the war began, bad news came from Faenzan. Although the Light Temple has tried many methods, the Elf Queen of the Great Glacier has yet to send back any news indicating that the coalition forces are still alive. In mid-October, someone discovered traces of the Dusk Army near the Winter Evening Mountains, which is ten miles away. The distance between the urban area and the city is less than three hundred miles.
The great evacuation has begun.
Although as early as a month ago, Faenzan, Airlanda and Ten Cities had begun to evacuate their citizens in an orderly manner. With the help of Buga people and dragons, in the past month, more than 100,000 people have been evacuated. One-tenth of the population was transported to Saint Osol and the Great Plains. But when the real evacuation began, people discovered that the time left for them was still too little. What happened to the Cruz people was now repeated to the Faenzan people and the wild elves.
"Everyone who has seen with his own eyes the tragic situation of the lower class people who dragged their families and moved away with their families can feel pity, but this is a fact that cannot be changed. Because everyone understands that if they stay, there will be only death waiting for them. Only by leaving can there be a glimmer of hope.
The Bugas took full action. Before the war started in the south, all the floating fleets¡ªeven the Cruzes, Saint Osorians, and Eruins also supported their entire fleets to transport refugees, but even so, The northern countries still lost nearly a quarter of their population during migration.
This is not just a shocking number.
But many living lives have disappeared.
And this debt will eventually be repaid by someone.
The news spread to the south, and people accepted everything calmly. Perhaps they have rehearsed everything in their minds countless times in the past three months, and when the real worst moment comes, people are already prepared.
In Manktor, the generals began to rehearse all aspects of the plan for the upcoming war. The coalition forces of various countries have rehearsed this war in the wilderness of the four realms more than once. Everyone - from the commander to the soldiers, has already prepared for this war.
At the end of October, seven fleets returned to the Four Realms, and the clouds of war were gathering in the east of Saint Osol.
It is late autumn. At this time a year ago, the Cruz people fled their homes like bereaved dogs and came to this strange land. At this time a year ago, the Hazel people and the nobles of Cloak Bay put aside their past differences and made the covenant that would change the world.
It was also at this time a year ago that the archaic system of the Kingdom of Eruin had taken its final step, and the dawn of new life was already on the horizon.
More than 300,000 troops rushed to the front line from various areas of the Four Realms Wilderness, arriving in sequence where the first attack vectors of the three fronts were located. Thousands of Buga craftsmen and wizards watched the long march on the ground from the sky, and everyone understood the significance of this war.
The enemy in Cruz is the weakest among the three armies at dusk.One of them, led by the Dragon God Bahamut, was already in the battle in the first year. As long as the coalition forces can cut off this arm before the arrival of the two armies at dusk, they can gain a wider space before the decisive battle. rear. By that time, the Alkash region and the Eruin region will be like two indestructible fortresses, one in the north and one in the south, resisting the invasion at dusk.
Coincidentally, the only two remaining human fortresses since the age of the gods are located in these two places. But this may not be a coincidence, but the last gift left by the gods to the mortals of this era. People are more willing to believe in this kind of goodwill from ancient times, because it not only represents a wish, but more importantly, represents Warnd's endless civilization inheritance. People yesterday, today and after today watch each other, pass on the fire from generation to generation, and guard this orderly world.
But this is just the beginning.
It cannot influence people's passive defensive position in this war.
Fortunately, mortals are not powerless to fight back¡ª¡ª
After a series of meetings, the representatives left Manktor one by one and returned to their homeland to start preparing for war. In Silver Bay, supporting the two coalition forces in a decisive battle outside is the limit that this area can bear. However, after the magical technology assisted by the Hazel people fully bears fruit, the further development of productivity may lead to deep changes in society, but Silver Bay The Gulf states have united to prepare for such reforms.
A gradually unified country may be established in the next two or three years. This country implements a republican system and is led by the White Wolf Sword Master Blanc. By that time, a powerful kingdom that may not be inferior to the four great empires will appear in the Silver Bay area, adding strength to mankind.
On the Great Plains, the work of the Buga people and the Jiufeng people is not over yet. They will continue to encircle and suppress the Centaur army and clear obstacles for the civilized rear area. It is conceivable that in the near future, this plain where the Black Iron People rose up will once again become the center of the fire of civilization - in a war that will last for unknown length of time.
The evacuation of the north is still ongoing and will be carried out together with the autumn offensive. The Buga people¡¯s most optimistic estimate is that it will take at least a year before the three regions can recover. But for the soldiers of Faenzan and Airanta, they had to wipe away their tears immediately and embark on the journey.
Just earlier this month, many mercenary organizations from the Ten Cities area took the initiative to join the war.
And as more and more representatives left, Manktor began to regain its former tranquility. The main part of the peace conference also came to an end, but the conference continued in another way, but its scale became smaller and the level of confidentiality became higher.
In the Cruz army camp, there were only ten people in a small tent - but all ten people were extremely important figures in this war.
Brando, William, Solomon, Lord Istovil of Lorraine Dale, Grand Druid Gray Fury and Funya, Grand Master of the Supreme Judgment Knights, Dwarf King Carifon, Lion Prince Nel-Fei Sher, the Great Holy See Walla and King Eruin - Haruze. Everyone has a slightly serious expression on their face. There is no doubt that what they are going to discuss will be something that can affect the future destiny of the land of Warnd.
William and Solomon sat on the left and right sides of the long table, second only to Brando, the main seat. After several months of training, the wizard leader's face looked much better, but his face was still pale. As for his strength, it had dropped by several levels. He himself admitted that it would be impossible to recover without more than a year of training. to the previous realm, and even then, it will leave some considerable impact.
But no matter what, being able to escape from the king of the Neng clan is something to be proud of for anyone. In the era of the War of the Gods, every lord under the Dragon of Twilight was an opponent whose strength was equal to or even exceeded that of the Eruin gods, and not one or two gods died in their hands.
Before anyone could speak, Solomon cast a silver magic mask to cover the entire venue - although the venue itself was only the size of a table. The other seven people were not surprised by his actions. Although there were very few people participating in this meeting, it was extremely important. More importantly, it contained some information that could be coveted by the Twilight Dragon at any time.
When everything was ready, Solomon spoke: "Everything you heard today may be related to the life and death of the entire civilized world, so I hope you can maintain a minimum of silence. This discussion will take place after we leave this venue. The moment ends, and all secrets should only exist in your hearts. After leaving here, I don¡¯t want it to be discussed by others "
There was a strange expression on Funya's face, and she asked in a childish voice: "Are you discussing how to fight against the Dragon of Dusk, Lord Solomon?"
After careful teaching and training by the Druid leaders, this little girl from Green Village is no longer the ignorant little girl she was. She is engaged in important work in Valhalla, and the Cloud Giants are also very fond of it. I like her, but now she is neither humble nor arrogant when facing strong men like Solomon and William.
Because she is the inheritor of the Forest Goddess, she must be worthy of this status.
Solomon knew that this little girl had a special status. His silver eyes glanced at her and then fell on Brando: "Yes, Your Highness Funia, but it not only determines whether we can succeed in fighting the Dragon of Twilight, Moreover, it is also related to the personal safety of His Excellency the King of Flame."
These words made Brando couldn't help but glance at Solomon. He didn't expect that this usually serious wizard king actually had a thoughtful side. He obviously knew the relationship between Funia and himself, otherwise he wouldn't have said this. Come on. And the effect of these words was obviously excellent. Not only did Funia become serious, but Haruze also tightened his face.
And others are more or less more serious, not because of Brando, but because of the former. Mortals can always only defend passively in the face of the Dragon of Dusk, but blind defense can never achieve the final victory of the Dusk War. Everyone understands who their real enemy is, and once Dusk wakes up, the world will There will be no resistance left.
Their only reliance is the last chance provided to them by Lord Martha.
An opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
"So, what is the final throne?" Neal Fisher, the lion prince, was the first to ask this question. As a representative of the Earth Temple, he has only recently been allowed to join this meeting, but not only because of this identity, but more importantly, the relationship between Tuoquinin's geographical location and Eruin determines that Lion Humans will be one of the most important allies of the Eruin in this war.
It can be said that His Highness the Prince is important because of Eru, but at this time, he is not in the mood to care about this detail.
"It can be said that the throne of the end is the supreme authority of the tiamat code." Brando replied briefly.
"Then it is Martha's authority?"
Brando shook his head: "In fact, it has far higher authority than Martha."
Nair Fisher¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°How is that possible?¡±
"Our world was jointly created by Martha and the people of God. Although Lord Martha has supreme authority, the first generation of people of God also have this authority, and as the creators of tiamat law, they are actually still controlled by Promised a more important authority - that is to restart our world." Brando explained.
"Restart the world?" Vala asked: "Is it the several world-destroying disasters in the Epic of Blue?"
"Yes, although the destruction of the world in Cangzhishi was brought about by dusk. But it was not done by the Dragon of Dusk himself, but a means of self-protection by the gods and their people. Because of this method, our world has survived to this day. But today, after the gods and their people left one by one, even in the last war, in the battle of Tianqing, due to various reasons The reason is that this authority has been mentioned from beginning to end.¡±
"Now, the heavy responsibility of finding the whereabouts of this authority may fall on our heads, because it may be the only means to counterattack Dusk."
Nyle Fisher asked again: "Our method is also to restart the world?"
"No," Brando shook his head: "Repeating the cycle is not good for the world, but there are many disadvantages. Because of this, Martha is determined to end this fateful cycle. She may give We are left with another means, but nothing is known yet¡ª"
When he said that he didn't know this sentence, he seemed to be slightly stunned and paused; but after a moment of trance, before everyone had time to notice, Brando continued: "But this doesn't mean Some people are not acting for this purpose. You must understand that there are many people who are looking for the throne of the end, and it is not just us-"
Among the people present, only Solomon noticed Brando's absence and couldn't help but look at him deeply.
As for Brando¡¯s student, Haruze also noticed that his teacher had a strange look on his face.
But he shook his little head and thought it was just his illusion. Because on such occasions, everyone will have more or less worries in their hearts.No matter how firm your thoughts are, you still can't help but feel depressed when facing that uncertain future.
"Many people?" Arch Druid Gray Fury asked keenly: "That sounds like it's not just the Dusk Dragon."
Brando glanced at him, nodded, and then briefly recounted his experience since leaving Cruz. He mainly described the plan of the Dragon Queen, the plan of Miss Tata and Sage Airanta, the plan of White-Tiamas and the witches, and finally the party in the Stagnation Realm and their encounter with the Dragon of Twilight.
"So," at the end, he concluded: "The current situation is like this - although Aesis seems to be our ally, its purpose is to obtain the Throne of the End, restart the world, and eventually become the next The true god of Warnd for generations.¡±
"That will never let her succeed," Haruze said angrily. He did not expect that the truth about Isis's cooperation with the witches would be like this. Thanks to him, he had always been loyal to the mother of wolves who betrayed the Twilight Dragon. There was also a hint of admiration: "But if that's the case, why do the witches collude with Isis?"
"It's good to at least have it on our side for the time being." Dwarf King Kalifen shook his head and replied.
After thinking for a moment, Istovel asked: "What is the purpose of the Twilight Dragon? In order to obtain the Throne of the End, she even came to our world, so it must have a bigger plot, right? "
Brando nodded, somewhat admiring the acumen of Lord Lorraine Dale, and replied: "The purpose of the Twilight Dragon is exactly the opposite of Isis."
"Exactly the opposite of Isis?" The others were stunned. Wouldn't the Twilight Dragon be on their side? But even if you think about it with your knees, that is obviously impossible.
At this time Solomon had to stand up and explained to them: "The purpose of the Twilight Dragon is actually very simple, because it can destroy our world even without the Throne of the End, so it wants to get the Throne of the End, that is To prevent it from restarting the world - because restarting the world is not true destruction for Warnd."
"I understand," Neil Fisher also understood: "What Dusk needs is complete destruction, and we cannot allow the possibility of a resurgence in our world."
Solomon nodded.
Everyone could not help but feel horrified when they heard this. They originally thought that the current situation was complicated and dangerous enough, but they did not expect that the real situation was far more sinister than what they saw on the surface. For mortals in this era, life and death are both destroyed and destroyed. It seems that the only way before them is to die in a dignified manner.
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Brando, who looked calm, and all admired the young King of Flame. They were already frightened just by hearing all this here, but the other party was trying to get to the bottom of all these secrets bit by bit. Digged from the hands of the Tree Shepherd, from the Gathering of All Things, and even from the Dusk Dragon himself.
¡°So what can we do to save the world?¡± Neil Fisher couldn¡¯t help but asked a little desperately.
"This is exactly why you are here," Solomon replied: "Whether we succeed in the end or not, we must ensure that Mr. Brando gets the throne of the end first, and only mortals can control the throne of the end. It¡¯s in our hands that everything we do has value.¡±
"Your Majesty the King of Flame?"
"teacher?"
Everyone looked at Brando in surprise again.
"Because the key to the throne of death is the seven holy swords." Solomon replied calmly.
"What!" Maybe others had some guesses about this, but Neil Fisher was really surprised: "So how many holy swords does the King of Flame already have in his hand?"
"Six," Solomon looked at the grand leader of the Supreme Judgment Knights: "Mr. Brando has obtained the shallow sea holy sword Xina, the dark holy sword Judgment, the golden flame blade Odysseus, the wind holy sword Sky, The Glorious Holy Sword Misor and the Earth Holy Sword Harangya are recognized, but among these holy swords, the sword soul and scepter of the Glorious Holy Sword Mishor are still in Faenzan, and the Orb of Wind is even more Missing."
He paused and looked around at everyone: "The country behind you represents the most powerful power and influence in the world, so I hope you can mobilize and help find the remaining parts. The sooner we can find the seven holy weapons, The moment the sword is struck, the more likely you are to win in this battle."
The grand leader of the Supreme Judgment Knights immediately stood up: "The glorious holy sword Misol has always been the inheritance of the Holy Temple of Light. It was just that the holy sword suddenly disappeared hundreds of years ago. This is the first time we have learned about it. It has always been in the hands of the Yanbao family. But don¡¯t worry, the Treasure of LightThe ?? and the scepter are still kept by the two popes, and we will bring them to the four realms as soon as possible. "
Solomon nodded. The Cruzes and the Faenzans respectively kept the secret of the Golden Flame Blade and the Glorious Holy Sword. Naturally, he would not know about it. In fact, this was the reason why he invited the grand leader here.
Everyone then discussed the whereabouts of the Orb of Wind. Theoretically, the wind holy sword should be closer to the wind elves of Saint Osol. But Istovel smiled bitterly and said that although the wind elf is called the wind elf, and the emblem of the Elf Court is also the sacred pattern of the Wind Queen, it has nothing to do with the Holy Sword of Wind in history, just like the Tower of Airland has nothing to do with the Holy Sword of Nature. Contact is the same.
He gave an example that the Holy Spear of Heaven was unearthed in Eruin. In fact, the Golden Flame Blade and Misor were also hidden in Eruin. This statement inspired everyone, and they all believed that there has never been a Wind of the World. Could the orb be somewhere in Eruin?
However, Haruze, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised an objection.
"The Orb of Wind is not in Eruin, teacher, everyone," the little king stood up: "It is in Qiaogendigang."
"Qiao Gendigang?"
"How is it possible? How could the Orb of Wind be underground?" Neil Fisher couldn't help shaking his head.
"It's true," Haruze replied firmly, and he said to Istovel: "The Orb of Wind is actually related to the wind elves. In the era when you were still called the fog elves by the world. The Moon and Sun inheritance was split. The true inheritors of the Wind Queen lineage, the Moon Descendants, were betrayed by the Sun Elves during the war. The entire tribe was hit from behind and had to go underground. They actually took away the Moon inheritance. Including the real holy relics of the Queen of the Wind.¡±
Istovel was a little silent. The split between the Star, Moon and Sun clans was the biggest scar in the history of the wind elves, because it not only caused them to lose the glorious name of the fog elves, but also lost the true inheritance of the Wind Queen. Although the people of St. Osor still claim to be the descendants of the Wind Queen, they are actually not so orthodox. Because of this, when the Wind Queen once again appeared as a saint, they firmly stood on the side of the two foreign crown princes.
Because this is their only chance to regain their honor.
Haruze continued: "that is the Orb of the Wind Queen. The descendants of the Moon Heritage joined the dark elves in Jogendigang, and the followers of the Dark Dragon also accepted them - they have been living in the ashes. The tip protects this orb and is the tower guard in the darkness - and the truth about the demons' changes is not just to resurrect Arkanto, but an order given by the Dusk Dragon himself to let them seize the wind. Hou Baozhu.¡±
"How do you know this, Haruze?" Brando couldn't help but asked in surprise. Although Shibie was treated with admiration for three days, the sudden change in his student was too great. Some.
Haruze slowly took out a dark orb from under his robe.
He held it up with both hands and said to Brando seriously: "Because the Orb of Wind has always been in my hand, teacher, Miss Lesmeka's friend, Miss Kaya is a member of the Oath Keepers family."
¡¡
ps: Just make up for it, it¡¯s an extra 500. Speaking of which, today is really awesome. I went out to the bank and forgot to bring my card. When I came back to get the card, I forgot to bring the key. After taking the key, I forgot the card at the ATM and it was swallowed. Finally, I took my ID card to get the card and found that the ID card had expired. Oh I felt desperate and sad at that time.
