Chapter 275: Ten Thousand Miles of Beacon Fire
"The beacon in Owen Dale has never been used since the day it was built. Besides, forty years ago, when humans and frost orcs fought, dwarves and elves pretended nothing happened, and this time there was no reason to support them. ”
"I also agree with Fei Gong that humanity has never had any other ally. What's more, if the beacon is lit this time, the human race will be equivalent to losing so many years of integrity, and even let the dwarves and elves see the jokes. ”
Whether it was the Archmage, Ferdinand, or even Countess Mary, they all tacitly agreed that the dwarves and elves would not come to their aid.
Shen Fei was silent and did not mention the matter of lighting the beacon fire again.
I still remember that when I first landed in the game a hundred years ago, humans, dwarves and elves experienced epic battles together, and accumulated extremely deep friendships.
But now, the two sides have become so indifferent that they are unwilling to make a final call for help even at the moment of life and death.
At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed to prepare.
Shen Fei, as the regent, issued a summoning order for the final battle.
The summoning order was sent to all corners of the Human Empire as quickly as possible by the teleportation mages of the Imperial Consortium and the Mage Academy of the Floating City.
According to Shen Fei's expectations, because he killed all the Rock Broken Giant Worms in Doom Mountain, causing the Frost Orcs to dig a tunnel into Owendale's plan to fail, it could also buy a little time for humans.
After doing everything, Shen Fei returned to the cottage and saw the fat tiger sleeping soundly.
Shen Fei woke up the fat tiger and hugged the fat tiger god mysteriously: "Now there is a major event that is enough to change the fate of mankind, I think you are the most suitable candidate!" ”
The fat tiger's eyes were still worried, and he said impatiently: "It's so high-sounding, it's actually just letting me take the blame, right?" ”
Shen Fei nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that the fat tiger still understood him.
"I proposed to light the beacon of Owen Dell, but Fei Gong and they were all protesting, and they all said that they didn't want to lose the dignity of the human empire at the last moment."
Fat Tiger was dumbfounded, "Usually these old guys are quite open-minded, why are they so rigid in this kind of thing?" ”
Shen Fei clasped his hands on his chest, looked at the fat tiger and said, "What do you think, if we light the beacon fire, will the dwarves and elves help us?" ”
Fat Tiger hesitated for a moment: "I don't know, the times have changed, and even we can't understand it." ”
"But I still agree with you, you can't ignore any way you can win now, and it's worth all the attempts."
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."
Fat Tiger does things, Shen Fei can rest assured.
The fat tiger got up and walked around the city wall after coming out of the small house, his eyes kept looking at the beacon tower at the height of the city wall.
There was a group of soldiers guarding under the beacon tower, and there were also two soldiers patrolling under the beacon tower, which seemed to be much tighter than before.
However, these are not problems for Fat Tiger, it does not need to go up to the fire and light the beacon fire in person.
All you need to do is ......
Kiss!
Fat Tiger stood under the beacon tower and snapped his fingers lightly.
A cluster of high-energy electric sparks appeared on the beacon tower, smashed the lamp oil, and the electric sparks ignited firewood, grass, and fuel.
As soon as the fire broke out, the fire instantly became ferocious.
At first, the soldiers patrolling under the beacon tower did not notice it, but with the crackling sound of firewood and grass, soldiers from other places also saw the raging fire, and immediately made a mess and began to organize the fire extinguishing.
Owen Dale's riot was so loud that even Jordan came out.
When he saw the beacon fire burning, he was shocked.
The hands under the long sleeves of Jordan's robe formed a magic circle, analyzing the elements in the air, and as a result, they accidentally discovered the element of electric fire.
"Something big has happened now, why did the beacon fire suddenly ignite?" Archbishop Mailer and Ferdinand also ran out of the house, and saw a blazing beacon fire and a circle of soldiers who were scrambling to extinguish the fire.
However, the fuel and firewood in the beacon fire have special moisture-proof and waterproof measures, but they are worried that the beacon fire cannot be transmitted in rain and snow, so now these fire extinguishing are not effective at all.
"Jordan, was it an accident or was someone deliberate?" Mailer asked.
Jordan is an archmage, and his control of the magic element is very exquisite, and he can restore the situation just now through the fluctuation of elemental particles.
"It can't be the regent, right?"
Ferdinand couldn't help but guess, after all, Shen Fei had just proposed it at the meeting just now, and then it was rejected by everyone.
Jordan glanced meaningfully at Shen Fei's cottage and the fat tiger who was wagging his tail and slipping back with his hands behind his back, looked at the beacon fire and said: "It was a gust of wind in the air just now that knocked the fuel lamp into the firewood and grass and stirred up sparks to cause the burning, this is an accident." ”
"It's okay, give me a few minutes, I'll summon the ice elemental to stop the beacon!"
Jordan flashed to the Mage Tower and got to work......
The first beacon tower in Owen Dale was lit, and the raging fire was particularly bright in the clouds and mist of the snowy mountains.
The soldiers guarding the beacon five kilometers away were resting on their chairs, and their duty was to guard the beacon.
Although this beacon tower has been built for forty years, and the soldiers guarding it have changed one after another, as human soldiers, forty years ago, humans and orcs fought each other, and dwarves and elves did not come to help them, this beacon tower is just a chicken rib.
The task of guarding the beacon is rotated every year, with three people as a team guarding one beacon.
After a year, new soldiers will be in place and rotated.
There are enough rations on the tower guarding the beacon, and you only need to stay here in three shifts a day, which is considered a leisure post in the mouth of the soldiers.
Today, the soldier was resting on his chair when he saw a light on the opposite hill five kilometers away.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, thinking it was dazzling and rubbed his eyes.
Although the snow and fog on the snow-capped mountains are thick, the fire still shines through the clouds.
"Why is Owen Dale's beacon lit up?"
The soldier flipped out of his chair and picked up his binoculars to take a look.
The flames of the Irvinedale beacon were blazing, and after a brief moment of surprise, the soldier jumped up from his chair like crazy and shouted to his companions, "The beacon of Irvinedale is burning!" ”
The other two companions were in the room, and when they heard this, they smiled and said, "Brother, although it is very boring for the three of us to stay here, you should not play this kind of unattractive trick!" ”
"It's true, the beacon fire is lit, something must have happened!"
The other two listened to the tone of urgency and nervousness, and they were still in disbelief, although they still didn't believe it in their hearts, they still got up and walked to the high place, and scolded: "If you let us know that you lied to us, you will be on duty in the third shift today!" ”
When the two of them climbed to a high place and saw the fire on the snowy mountain opposite, their mouths were wide open and they could stuff a fist into them, with a look of disbelief.
"I'm not lying to you, Owen Dell's beacon is really lit!"
"Hurry up, the beacon is lit, and we have to pass the signal immediately!"
The three of them rushed to the beacon tower, pouring oil and carrying torches.
Rumble!
When the flames of the beacon tower rose, all three of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
It is said that the work of guarding the beacon tower is boring and boring, comparable to distribution.
But today, during their tenure, this beacon, which has never been lit since it was built, finally has its due role.
Jordan of the Mage Tower saw the beacon tower lit five kilometers away, and immediately turned the energy of the Mage Tower.
A beam of ice hit the beacon tower, directly freezing the beacon tower and the flames in it.
Ferdinand and Mailer hurried to the heights, only to find that the beacon fire east of Owendale had burned in the distance.
"Hey, it's getting late!"
The speed of the beacon fire transmission is extremely fast, and there is a beacon tower for five kilometers, and it will be transmitted immediately after seeing the beacon fire.
The Human Empire and the Dwarven Empire are connected by the Great Snow Mountain Range, during which there are countless beacon fires, and they can be transmitted to the Lonely Mountain in half a day.
The three soldiers looked at the blazing beacon tower with satisfaction.
It's like the joy of a thing that has not been dusted and suddenly comes into play.
A few people patted the ashes on their hands and returned to the high place, and couldn't help but sigh: "This beacon tower has finally worked!" ”
"Look, the beacon fire in the distance is lit!"
A few people looked along the east side, and the beacon fire on the top of the mountain five kilometers away was also burning in the distance.
As if it were a relay, the three of them raised their hands and shouted loudly to the east.
When the three of them came back to their senses and looked back at Owen Dale, their eyes were about to fall to the ground in shock.
There is no fire in Owen Dell's beacon!
"We, just now, are we hallucinating?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison, "But just now, Owen Dale's beacon fire was indeed lit, right?" ”
The three of them were stunned for a while, and then rubbed their eyes, and found that Owen Dale's beacon fire did not have a fire.
"So what do we do now? The beacon fire has been spread, should we put it out? ”
"Well, it's better to extinguish and destroy the evidence ......"
The three of them were in a hurry again.
It's a pity that there is not enough water on the top of the mountain, and there is no archmage with powerful mana, so the three of them are disgraced and unsuccessful, but they are becoming more and more vigorous and splendid......
Lonely Mountain, the land of dwarves.
After a long journey, the trade group doing business in the holy city of mankind returned along the strait between the continents and returned to the Lonely Mountain.
The caravans that had previously traveled back and forth brought humanity's "most outstanding" creation, the Legend of Heroes card game.
The game quickly took the Dwarven Realm by storm.
It is one of the three indispensable items on the table, along with beer and butter bread.
This time, it seems that the Human Empire is going to war with the Frost Empire, so the Dwarven Chamber of Commerce has decided to temporarily evacuate from the Holy City and wait and see what happens.
The elves also had the same idea, and even left early, thinking that they had now returned to the elf island.
The president in charge of the Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Ori family, and the first thing he does when he returns is to report to the dwarven king Orn, who is in charge of the dwarven void furnace.
The Dwarven King Ryan went out on an expedition and disappeared with the artifact Sword of the Brotherhood.
The younger brother Orn temporarily took over the entire Dwarven Realm, taking charge of the Dwarven Arcana's Void Forge as the new king.
After Oli returned, he handed over the handover of the Chamber of Commerce to his subordinates, and immediately came to the throne of the magnificent palace inside the Lonely Mountain and met with Orn.
"Your Majesty, the trade group has lived up to the trust and is all back!"
The red beard is a sign of Nicholas' bloodline.
Orn's red beard was carefully trimmed and weaved, and he took this meeting very seriously.
Without saying a word, he stepped forward to hold Ollie up, and then gave a warm hug: "It's good to come back, my good brother!" ”
"You don't know that the Legend of Heroes card you ordered someone to send you before has almost set off a wave in our Dwarven Empire. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, you have a unique vision and have made great contributions! ”
Oli hurriedly said: "It's all blessed by the ancestors!" ”
"By the way, there are a lot of people who have suggested that we can negotiate with humans and make some of our dwarves' own hero cards."
It's just that after Orn finished speaking, Olli's brows furrowed, and he stopped talking.
After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, I have withdrawn all the dwarven chambers of commerce in the Human Empire this time, because there is a rumor in the Human Empire, and the Frost Empire has deployed troops in the north and is ready to go to war at any time." By the time I left, humanity was on full alert, and at least 100,000 troops had been drawn from all over the country. ”
Hearing that the Human Empire was at war, Orn didn't show any shocked expression on his face.
To be honest, the orcs and dwarves are only separated by the huge snowy mountain range, and they know exactly what the orcs are moving.
The orcs have indeed had a lot of activity lately, massing their forces on a large scale, but what does this have to do with their dwarves?
Orn's face was just disappointed, and that faint look felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on his face.
"Unfortunately, Hero Cards can't be added to Dwarven Heroes. I've compiled the information of several dwarven heroes on hand, waiting for you to return to the Human Empire next time and hand it over to the designers of the heroic legend. ”
At the mention of the designer of the heroic legend, Oli's eyes lit up, and his mouth felt that there was an endless story to tell.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the designer of this heroic legend card is the Supreme Elder of the Warrior Monk Zen Academy, and he also said that he used to have an old relationship with His Majesty, and you will definitely know his name when you mention it, and he also asked me to say hello on your behalf."
Ao En is also interested now, the human warrior monk Zen Academy, he knows the three zen elders, when did he suddenly have the position of Taishang Elder?
And is it an old acquaintance with yourself?
Humans and dwarves hadn't been in close communication for forty or fifty years, and Orn had become the new king early on, ruling the dwarven kingdom and not knowing any new humans.
"What's his name?"
Orn asked.
Ou Li said: "This Elder Taishang of the Warrior Monk Zen Monastery is ......"
"Urgent !!"
It's just that Ollie was just halfway through his sentence when suddenly a dwarven guard outside shouted and hurriedly ran in, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Orn and Ollie looked towards the palace gate together, only to see the chief of the guard running up to Orn and kneeling down to deliver the information.
"Your Majesty, the beacon tower of the Great Snow Mountain is lit!"
In a word, Orn and Ori trembled.
It was a symbol of the earliest human and dwarven friendship alliances.
No matter who is in trouble, as long as the beacon is lit, there will be support.
"Human beings lit the beacon this time, it must be a last resort, Your Majesty ......" Oli has been doing business with humans for so long, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
Orn returned to the king's position in despair with the information, touched the dragon head throne made of pure gold, and whispered: "Big brother, if you are still here, how will you choose......"
After a long time, Orn looked at the map of the dwarven realm on the throne and made a decision.
Orn stood up and said solemnly: "As an individual, I regret what happened to the Human Empire, if the Human Empire is defeated and there are outcasts entering the Dwarven Realm, we will try to take them in as much as possible. But as the king of a nation, I am responsible for my people, and I cannot let them fall into the wrath of the orcs for revenge. ”
"So this time, the dwarves are not involved in the war!"
The chief guard was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "Yes!" I'm going to pass on the order! ”
Orn watched the chief guard trot all the way to deliver orders, and said with a long sigh: "Oli, your father and I are brothers, and you are also my nephew, I grew up, do you think I did something wrong this time?" ”
The countless complicated emotions in Oli's heart finally turned into a light sigh.
"Your Majesty is now the king of a country, and it is not wrong to make such a decision for the sake of the Lone Mountain Dwarf race."
Orn also sighed lightly, whether the Human Empire can survive or not depends on himself.
If they can't survive, they can take in some refugees and give them some support, all for the sake of the face of the missing King Lucien, who once fought side by side.
"By the way, the one you just talked about is the human of my old friend, what's his name?"
: Don't ask why it's so fast today, because I'm going to see Avengers 4 at 23 o'clock
