The confrontation between the various war zones around Felder City continues.

In the confrontation, time was quietly lost, and soon it was August, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, but with the cold wind blowing from Felder City, there would not be soldiers on the battlefield who suffered from heat stroke due to long-term battles, and some veterans even joked in their leisure time: This summer, we can enjoy the magic temperature control that only the nobles can enjoy.

A month ago, Pedi had told Drahir that he was going to negotiate with the Undead Legion, and the elves had not raised any objections to it until now, as if they had no idea about it.

However, the elves have not been seen at the summit since, and they have been told that it will take a lot of time to build the Magic Crystal Tower, and then the elves have expressed their unconditional support for the resolution passed by the meeting.

Now two and a half months have passed since the official battle against the Undead Legion, and there is still half a month left for the three-month end of the war promised by Pedi in his speech to the Imperial Chancellor's Government, and the members of the City Council have been discussing the war against the Undead Legion every day since the month of August.

To this end, Queen Irene Phier sent three letters in the past two days to inquire about the state of the war, and Pedy replied earnestly to each one, and in the last letter he asked his wife to hand over the problems of the city council to Cowlier to solve.

On August 12th, a very ordinary day, after Pedi had just finished his night patrol and held a regular meeting of the daily staff office, he fell asleep as usual.

In the evening, Pei Di woke up on time before dark, and Secretary General Lang Ma handed over a document after he washed up, and reminded him: "The initial restructuring of the Tuohai Fleet has been basically completed. ”

"Good news. Pedy commented, and then asked, "Have you told Sir Minnie Wattle?"

"I've been informed... She said she would see you in two hours. ”

"Another piece of good news, I've been looking forward to her coming to me every day for the past month. Pedy smiled rarely, took a picture of the basin next to him, and shaved the stubble on his face with his hands, "Don't go to the front line today, bring Sir Marne and Sir Bowenright, and... Archmage Leah. ”

"Yes!" said Wolfmar as she prepared to leave.

"By the way, Phyllis is going back now, right?" said Peddy with a bit of a headache.

"Princess Phyllis had planned to go back tomorrow, Your Majesty. ”

After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Peidi pointed to Wolf Mar's chest and whispered, "Later, you go and tell her, just say that there is something for her to deal with at the Balan Town Magic Academy." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Don't forget to inform Collier about this, or you'll be annoyed in the future. ”

"I'll take care of it. ”

...

Under the dark night sky, a small reef-strewn island in the waters north of Cook Town was illuminated by the flames of a bonfire.

On the north side of the island is a detachment of the Imperial Combined Fleet docked outside the reef, and in the south are two warships improvised by the Undead Legion, a small team of human paladins and mages on the island is led by Perus, and opposite them is a small team of high necromancers, and behind each side is a teleportation array.

The two groups did not fight, nor spoke, but looked at each other with hostile eyes.

Time passed slowly in their confrontation, and when the wood for the bonfire on the island was changed twice, and the time reached a quarter past twelve in the evening, the two teleportation arrays lit up one after another.

At this moment, the necromancers suddenly became excited, and a piercing scream came out of their mouths, and at the command of Perus, the human mages constructed a soundproof magic to relieve the discomfort caused by the scream.

In the midst of the necromancer's deadly screams, an eerie darkness suddenly descends on the island, a darkness that is different from the darkness of the night, but a pure darkness. Under the erosion of this darkness, although the campfire was still alive nearby, there was no light in sight.

It was impossible to show any objects in the pure darkness, but suddenly a bewitching red appeared, which was as conspicuous as a lighthouse on the sea at night, and it was indescribably strange!

It was Ferrola, whose beautiful face was supported by two very different colors, red and dark, so that no one who saw her could take their eyes off it.

"Don't look into her gaze, stand firm in your faith!"

Peruth's voice surrounded the ears of human paladins and mages under the influence of holy power, "That's the whisper of an evil god, not a blessing from a goddess!"

Most of the human paladins and mages came to their senses at Peruth's reminder, and a few who didn't react were stunned by their companions.

"Ferrola, show your sincerity, we are here as promised. "Peruz was a little angry.

"It's their own inability to hold their faith, and I can't be blamed for that. Ferrora walked over to the campfire, and as she moved, the darkness made the remaining light disappear, leaving the human mages struggling to hold on with their illumination.

"You have to learn to respect people..."Pedi's voice came from the teleportation array on the other side, and the darkness quickly dissipated as he spoke, and when the fiery red light covered the island again, his figure also walked out of the conduction device that appeared on the teleportation array.

Subsequently, Yarman and Leah also walked out of the conduction device one after another.

At the same time, in the teleportation circle of the undead legion opposite, Enshi Ella and Bradidley Cliff also appeared one after another.

"In the process of the evolution of life, there will always be some weak ones eliminated, and for higher beings, the weak are like beasts in the forest, will you give respect to those beasts?" Ferrola said as the darkness around her subsided, and bowed slightly to Pedi, "It's a pleasure to see you again, respected human emperor." ”

"Her Majesty. Peidi's good education made him subconsciously return the gift.

"Your Majesty Pedi... It's an honor to meet you here. "Enhi-Ella saluted the Human Emperor with the etiquette of a human noble.

"Duke Ella... I didn't expect the Ella family to continue in such a way. Pedi looked at Enhi-Ella's face, "I still remember when my father talked to me about the Five Dukes, but unfortunately there will never be a new Five Dukes in the Empire. ”

"Your father was a great nobleman, but he wanted too much, and in the end—" Enhi-Ella shook her head and whispered, then closed her mouth and took a step back without waiting for Pedi to answer, indicating that she would not speak again.

"Queen Ferroira. "Yarman, Leah, Perus, and other paladins and mages, whether they want to or not, saluted after the two rulers greeted each other, and Bradidley and the necromancers of the undead legion on the opposite side also saluted the human emperor with the most standard aristocratic etiquette.

"Today we finally don't have to meet on the battlefield. Ferrora raised her hand slowly, and without any mental power, the magic energy quickly gathered around the bonfire around them, and two rows of black stone benches formed between the continuous deformation of the ground.

"It's a wonderful idea to drive demonic energy with evil energy, but it's a pity that ordinary people can't use it. Archmage Leah praised while showing a look of regret, and as she spoke, she used the staff in her hand to construct a not-so-complicated magic circle, and the black stone bench on her side immediately turned as transparent and white as white marble.

Ferrora looked at Leah in surprise and said, "It seems that Muvet-Phil has told you a lot about evil powers and ancient magic, perhaps... In another hundred years, your magical knowledge will surpass that of the elves. ”

"In less than a hundred years, twenty years from now, we will surpass the elves in the study of magical energy. Leah said this with confidence, and the progress made in the lab over the past year gave her more confidence than ever.

"Don't underestimate the elves, what they are showing you now is only superficial, their real strength lies in the High Council, but the High Elves of the High Council may have lived too long, thousands of years of life have made them start to escape from reality and indulge in everything in their dreams. Ferrola's casual tone made the sense of oppression on her body quickly disappear, and she turned into an ordinary woman who didn't seem to be in any danger.

In order to keep himself from being attracted by Ferrola's kaleidoscopic temperament, Pedi lowered his eyelids and walked silently to the stone bench and sat down, "Let's end this meeting as soon as possible, and then end this damn war." ”

"Aren't humans the most war-like?" Ferrola sat opposite Pedi with a flash, "After the establishment of the Locke Empire, the civil war between your nobles and the war of external expansion have never stopped, and almost all of your books, including stage plays, are full of war. ”

"It can't be called a war, it's just a struggle between the nobility. Pedi denied this and continued: "But this is also wrong, so the old empire has come to an end, and my people and I are most looking forward to peace, and I hope that this negotiation will end this war... My rule comes from popular support, and I don't need war to maintain my rule. ”

"You will surpass Locke the Great and Archduke Patved to become the greatest ruler in the history of mankind in this era. Ferrola was not complimenting when he said this, "And all this... It will start with the big victory I give you. ”
