Chapter 246, Truth, Help, Preparation
The most pristine continent in the world, the Elven Continent.
Elven United Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Takagaoka, the capital of the Tree of Life, the city of red leaves.
It's autumn, and the red leaves city at this time is dyed with a layer of fiery red, and the maple trees have grown seasonal red leaves, which are different from the withered yellow outside, and they are full of vitality, presenting a charming beauty for all the elves in the city.
But.
Looking at the city surrounded by autumn leaves, a new generation of elven saints, Galadriel Medici suddenly saw a terrifying vision of the future.
The flames engulf Momiji City, death erodes the land, and the dead destroy the entire United Kingdom!
The tree of life withers!
"The end of the elves is coming......"
"What?"
Hearing the whisper of the saintess who was in a state of distraction, the face of the female elf guard next to her changed drastically, and she hurriedly took out the communication magic stone to contact the queen.
As a saint chosen by the Tree of Life and favored by nature, Galadriel Medici has special abilities that ordinary transcendents do not have, and although she cannot be compared to Isabella Stuart, the favored person of the God of Creation, and cannot accurately see the illusions of the past, present, and future, she can predict the crises that will occur in the Elven Continent.
After receiving a summons from the female guard, the queen of the Gaoqiu Kingdom immediately rushed over.
Galadriel slowly came back to his senses.
"Kate, you see the end of the elves?"
Hearing the queen's inquiry, Galadriel nodded solemnly: "Those undead are coming." ”
"Undead?"
The undead plague broke out all over the world, and the Elven Continent was not immune, but through the efforts of the United Kingdom, with the help of the power of nature, they still stopped their offensive and did not let the disaster continue to expand the damage.
Queen Gaoqiu shook her head when she heard this: "The Ranger sent back news not long ago, saying that our army has divided the undead into various favorable terrains, and they will be eliminated soon. ”
"They can't make waves. ”
Galadriel: "Your Majesty, you should know the news that the Star Empire has been attacked by a million undead, right?"
"That's right. ”
Galadriel: "The most important fortress of the Star Empire has been breached, and the millions of undead will attack us next!"
"Are you sure?!"
"I was warned by the Tree of Life!"
"The most important fortress of the Star Empire has been breached by the undead?" The queen couldn't believe it: "This can't be!"
"With the support of the Holy Light Sect and the Holy Fire Sect, the Star Empire will not be able to deal with the undead?"
Galadriel: "But that's the way it is, and I'm sure Your Majesty and the druids have discovered the omen of nature." ”
Hearing what the half-elf saintess chosen by the Tree of Life said, the Queen of the Elves of the High Hills nodded with a solemn face, and immediately took her back to the palace hall, and then urgently summoned the ministers and several generals who guarded the capital, as well as the shadows in charge of intelligence work.
The Kingdom of Gaoqiu is part of the United Kingdom of Elves, and it is also the most powerful kingdom, and its ministers are all powerful high-ranking druids.
After Galadriel's narration, knowing that the elves were about to come to an end, the Great Druids immediately communicated with nature.
And then get the same warning as the saint said!
"The elven crisis is coming!"
The authority of nature is held by the goddess of nature of the Star Empire, and the demigods of the guardian lineage of the Star Empire are all of elven blood.
The druid's act of communicating with nature has always been tacitly approved by the goddess of nature, and after dedicating his faith, he will be helped, nature represents the vitality of all things, and in the eyes of all druids, all continents of the world should be vibrant.
But this time, the Great Druids perceived the Star Continent and found that there was a breath of death all over it.
Nature's vitality is destroyed!
"The Star Empire, the Holy Light Sect, and the Holy Fire Sect can't stop those undead ......"
Hearing this, realizing that the matter was more serious than expected, Queen Gaoqiu hurriedly asked, "Great Druid, how should we elves survive this crisis?"
The Great Druids shook their heads.
"With our strength, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive the ......"
"What?"
"This can't be!" Queen Goqiu couldn't believe what she had heard, as a dignified druid, the wisest and most knowledgeable being of the elves, she could say such a depressing thing.
"How can we not deal with the undead?"
"The United Kingdom's army has clearly achieved a huge advantage!"
"Your Majesty, I have been reminded by the Goddess of Nature that the number of undead in the Star Empire has reached three million, and in the face of such a huge army, the little strength of our United Kingdom cannot be stopped. ”
"In addition to fleeing our homes... There is already no choice......"
Galadriel stepped forward at this point: "No, I have an idea. ”
"Ask for help from other forces!"
"Dwarves and orcs, no, the strength of the dwarves and orcs is about the same as that of the United Kingdom, even if they come to support, the number of troops is not enough to make up a million, and their continent has also broken out in the plague of the undead......"
Listening to the dejected words of the Grand Druid, Galadriel shook his head: "No, we ask for help from the Federation of Auguste!"
"Federal?"
"The forces that collude with evil?"
"I'm against it!"
"Can't trust them!"
Listening to the opposition of the Great Druid and the Kingdom General, Galadriel shook his head and said, "Everyone, this crisis is a matter of life and death for the elven race. ”
"If you don't choose to resist, you can only run away. ”
"Are you willing to abandon your homeland and flee to the flanks and become miserable slaves?"
"Bold!"
Even when a holy woman said such a thing in front of the queen and many druid ministers, a grumpy warrior general suddenly shouted angrily: "Holy woman, watch your words!"
Galadriel's face did not change: "Everyone, why didn't the goddess of nature help the Star Empire deal with the undead?"
"With the help of the God of War King and the Goddess of Nature, the most important fortress of the Star Empire will definitely not be attacked by the undead, but such a thing happened, and it will be our elven race's turn to face the crisis. ”
"How much help do you think the great god of elves and the goddess of nature can give?"
"Shut up!"
"Bold!"
"Galadriel, you dare to slander the gods under the protection of the Tree of Life?!"
"No!" said Galadriel, "It's you who are so stupid!"
"Think about why our elven clan is so down, obviously all elves are protected by the elven god, why have people been captured all the time and become pathetic slaves?"
"It's the inaction of the gods who are supposed to protect the elves!"
"He is even happy to see tragedy happen!"
These words are no longer slanderous to the gods, such accusations are simply blasphemy against their elven gods!
The elves in the hall were shocked and angry!
wanted to punish Galadriel, but found that her words were not wrong, and the tree of life sheltered all the elves, giving this half-elf favor, and without the oracle personally descended by the elven god, the queen was not qualified to take people down!
In the oldest legends of the elves, the elves have no gods and they believe in the original World Tree.
And the tree of life is the seed of life that sprouts and grows from the tree of the world.
Therefore, the status of the tree of life is not under the elven god.
Queen Gaoqiu asked in a deep voice, "Holy Maiden, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Very clear!"
Galadriel: "I know my words are very contradictory, but you know what the reality is, Your Majesty. ”
"Once again, I propose to ask for help from the Federation of August!"
"Holy Maiden, you have been corrupted by evil!"
"Your Majesty, please imprison Galadriel!"
"The true God brooks no blasphemy!"
"Shut up!" Listening to the gossip of the Great Druid and the generals, Queen Goqiu was extremely irritable: "You are my ministers and generals, not the priests of the temple, if the god of the elves wants to punish Galadriel for making arrogant words, the priests will come and deal with it!"
"We're talking about how to get through this crisis!"
"Don't change the subject!"
Galadriel: "I'm still proposing to ask the Federation for help, because that force is very strong, and it's not like other human forces. ”
"How is it different?" asked Queen Goul, "without paying a price?"
"Maybe!"
......
......
For the war between the Star Empire and the undead, the people of the Federation who have returned to a peaceful life do not pay attention, everyone is contributing to development, longing that when crises and disasters arise again, the Federation has a stronger force to deal with it, and longs that no innocent people will lose their lives.
Of course, while developing its own strength, the top level of the federation has not ignored the international situation.
The Star Empire is too far away, and they have dealt with an undead natural disaster, and they are also experienced, confident that even in the face of millions of undead, they can be sure to resist the enemy's land.
The upper echelons of the Federation paid more attention to the steppe people who had been relocated to the southern continent.
With the support of the Langton Chamber of Commerce, the steppe people landed in the kingdom of Hannibal and gained a firm foothold in three days.
After all, the steppe people have three Legendary-level combat powers, as well as several epics.
Under the leadership of high-ranking powerhouses.
Without war horses and using flintlock muskets funded by the Lanton Chamber of Commerce, the fierce steppe people wiped out the army of the Kingdom of Hannibal in one blow in order to build a new homeland, and then beat the king of Hannibal to abandon their capital.
Eventually, turning the Kingdom of Hannibal into a principality, they also grabbed enough land to establish the Principality of Abu Basi, which belonged to the steppe people, on this land that once belonged to the Kingdom of Hannibal!
Adira is already old, and has lost the strength of the legendary peak, and now he will not live for many years.
Dowl, the eldest son of Abu Bas, had a broken arm.
Khor Abu Bath was brave but resourceful, and was a reckless man, unfit to lead his people and principalities.
So the first heir to the Principality of Abu Basi fell to Kim Abu Basi!
After experiencing a crushing defeat in the steppe, knowing that the Augustian Empire perished in the infighting, and the Bourbon royal family also fell because of the infighting, the three Abubbas brothers were very united.
You won't fight to the death just because of a mere Grand Duke.
And after the unity of the steppe people, who are all soldiers.
One miracle after another has been created.
When the undead ravaged the Southern Continent, the Holy Light Cult and the Holy Fire Cult barely dealt with it with the Holy Light and Divine Arts, and the steppe people had wiped out the undead of the Principality of Abbas!
Of course, these miracles are indispensable to the great help of the Federation.
Because of the strong combat power of the Principality of Abu Basi and its ability to deal with the undead, people from other countries in the southern continent fled one after another when they got the news.
Now the power of the steppe people is getting stronger and stronger.
Because of helping refugees, it has also gained a good reputation.
"Now the steppe people want to expand, the only restriction is that the number of their own people is too small, and it is not easy to win the hearts of the people of the southern continent, but it is not easy to really rule a larger territory. ”
"With their population, it's still too slow to plunder wealth through war. ”
"Although the repayment amount is good at this stage, I think that the Principality of Abu Basi can be reasonably expanded, which will help them increase the speed and amount of repayment. ”
"However, we now have another problem. ”
"News has come from the Abu Bath family that the royal family, nobles, and troops of the Carolingian Kingdom have all withdrawn from the Southern Continent, opening a large portal and allowing a steady stream of undead spirits to come from the other side. ”
"And the Alexanders, the Habsburg branches, the Letagnos, the Hannibals, and the Xerxes and Mysenes from the Holy Flame Realm, they all have the same actions. ”
"I suspect that the Star Empire, the Holy Alliance, and the Holy Fire Nation are about to abandon the Southern Continent. ”
At the Central City Federation Conference, Landon's clone made a report on his recent work, telling everyone about the interests, about the Southern Continent, about the situation of the countries of the South.
Hearing this, the members of the parliament immediately exchanged words and ears.
Gellert frowned and asked, "How's our military setup in the South?"
Jaime: "Enough for any war." ”
Gellert shook his head: "If there are millions of undead who want to go north from the southern continent, can the army of the southern realm keep them all at sea?"
"This ......" James couldn't give an answer, because the number was a bit scary.
"I'm afraid not. ”
Gellert: "How many troops do we have now that we can muster urgently?"
Jaime: "With the recent recruits, that's a hundred thousand. ”
"Not enough. ”
Profeon understood that Gellert was fine, and he usually didn't ask so many questions in the council, and considering his ability to predict, he immediately guessed that the undead were very likely to attack the Federation again, after all, Langton had beaten off Naraku the Grim Reaper some time ago.
The chances of the undead coming back to the field are extremely high......
"I propose to continue the expansion of the army!"
"Your Excellency, if the Federation expands its army again, it will be a bit financially strained. ”
"That's right, Your Excellency Profeon, the Federation is developing everywhere, and all places need funds, and if we allocate another amount of money to expand the army, we will have a fiscal deficit!"
Langton shook his head: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be so nervous, as far as I know, the federal treasury is still very rich. ”
"Not to mention another expansion of the army, even a million-dollar expansion can afford it. ”
"You are not flexible enough with your money. ”
"But now is not the time to talk about the use of funds, because the Star Empire has been defeated by the undead in the war, and there is a high chance that millions of undead creatures will have the Southern Continent as a second target. ”
"If the Southern Continent is ravaged by the undead, their armies will increase again. ”
"Even if we can't destroy the Federation, we can still cause us big trouble. ”
"The undead are coming again?"
"It can't be......"
"The southern continent is separated from the southern border by a strait, and they can't swim in!"
Hearing Langton's words, the councillors began to talk again, having experienced the undead scourge before, they knew very well the horror of ghosts, zombies, skeletons, lichs, abominations, and bone dragons, and they had to face these monsters, and their hearts were inevitably resisting.
The expansion of the army represents not only a reallocation of funds, but also war and death!
"Alright!
"We vote!" Profion said, standing up, "who is in favor of the expansion and who is against?"
"Now everyone thinks about it for half an hour!"
Hearing this, the councillors in the parliament hall were quiet for a moment, and then this federal center immediately turned into a place like a vegetable market, and everyone discussed whether to expand the army or not, and they had to consider more than just military spending.
But after discussion, the results came out without surprise.
Expand!
The number of undead creatures is in the millions, and although it is separated by the ocean, most people are uneasy to hear this terrifying number.
There are no surprises in the expansion of the army.
But how much to expand the army.
After another discussion.
"Also, Lord Profion, our Federation does not have enough strong men to serve as generals for the new legions. ”
In response to the councilor's inquiry, Langton asked, "Aren't there ordinary generals?"
"Lord Gabry, in the Battle of the Prairie and the War of the Undead before us, we all saw the importance of the High Rank Transcendental. The lawmaker shook his head: "I don't think ordinary generals are enough to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
"It was also not appropriate to use the method of using high-level powerhouses uniformly before. ”
Langton: "Why do you think so?"
"Because of lack of capacity. Another lawmaker also said: "If you are too weak, you can easily be beheaded by the undead." ”
"There have been too many examples of this in the past battles with undead creatures. ”
"Uh......"
Ranton really can't argue with that.
But after thinking about it, he asked, "If a high-ranking powerhouse fights with the enemy, how can he command the battle?"
"As before, the command was taken over by a junior officer. ”
"It seems that it is the same for a high-ranking powerhouse to be a general or not. ”
"It's not the same. Profion: "During the Battle of the Steppe, the Sixth Legion under your leadership was a great success. ”。
"And ordinary generals can't do it. ”
...... To be continued......
